Rise Up
There are times when it all seems so hard
Life on its own terms
Can seem like a one-sided deal
It’s like the spin of a wheel
But you know when a heart beats
Your soul will find hope
Wherever you are, keep believing
It’s not as bad as it seems
And when you feel lost
And storms lay ahead in the dark
Whenever you’re down
With your face to the ground
The only way to go is up
You’ve got to rise up
Reach out and touch the sky
You’ve got to rise up
Just spread your wings and fly
Yeah, you’ve got to rise
And it’s hard to be brave all the time
Sometimes your courage can be hard to find
But it’s there, yeah
All you have to do is just care
It’s your time for a place in the sun
You have the power to reach it
So don’t walk in shadow
Your time to shine is right now
With hope there is strength
And it will be more than enough
To turn you around, lift you up from the ground
The only way to go is up
Open your eyes to the light
Feel it lift up your heart
Now you’re a part of the future
It’s your life

Mr Mean
She tells me one thing
Then she goes and does another
And if things go wrong
I’m the one runnin' for cover
Oh yeah, I’m always runnin’
She always blames me
She calls me Mr Mean
She wants to change me
She don’t want Mr Mean
I have to admit
There’s times when I come well undone
I’m always tryin’ hard to please her
But why stay when it ain’t no fun?
Oh no, there ain’t no fun no more
She always blames me
She calls me Mr Mean
She wants to change me
She don’t want Mr Mean

Free Bird
Breeze, through the window
Carries you into the night
Shadows hiding
Still your heart’s lifting in flight
We were so young
Living was easier then
No thought of tomorrow
Just day to day dreamin’ back then
Will you fly, my free bird?
Let the wind hold you closer than I do
Will you fly, sweet free bird?
Feel your heart catch your breath like I used to
I was mistaken
To bargain with time is to let time fool you
And the world is a treasure
For those who step into the blue
Will you fly, my free bird?
Let the wind hold you closer than I do
Will you fly, sweet free bird?
Feel your heart catch your breath like I used to
Will you fly, my free bird?
Let the wind hold you closer than I do
Will you fly, sweet free bird?
Feel your heart catch your breath like I used to

We Could Be Giants
Sometimes I hear laughter
But I’m not crazy, it’s just my inside voice
I tell myself it doesn’t matter
But what do I know really, it’s all just white noise
Nothin’ that I say or do will ever be remembered
When I stare into the blue I see how small we are
We could be giants, stuff of legend
Hold the world in our hands for a while
One step into the great unknown
One more haunting sunset fading into night
Deep within my mind I hear the voices
How do I know what I’m hearing is so right?
Nothin’ that I leave behind is needed where I’m going
Laughter carries me away, the wind knows where it’s blowin’
We could be giants, stuff of legend
Hold the world in our hands for a while
We could be giants till forever ends
We could leave the small stuff far behind
We could be giants, stuff of legend
Hold the world in our hands for a while
We could be giants till forever ends
We could leave the small stuff far behind
We could be giants, stuff of legend
Hold the world in our hands for a while
We could be giants till forever ends
We could leave the small stuff far behind

The Thunder
I hear something in the wind tonight
We’ve all been too long in the dark
This world is aching for a little light
Maybe you and I can share a spark
We’re all movin’ into sunlight
All we have is just the promise of our hope
So listen now, do you still hear the thunder
Rollin’ in behind the sun?
This misery and the delusion we’ve been under
Will melt away for everyone
It’s all a mystery, the cloak wraps right around us
Headlines shout hope down into the sea
The storm that’s chasing us is one of our own making
Playing hide and seek with history
Hold your future in your hands now
A tiny flame can burn as bright as pure gold
So listen now, do you still hear the thunder
Rollin’ in behind the sun?
This misery and the delusion we’ve been under
Will melt away for everyone

Crazy
Baby, can’t you tell me why you’re cryin’?
Baby, are you really over tryin’?
I know you
Hey, you think I’m a fool
‘cause I don’t see nothin’
But I can still hear you say
I was always crazy ’bout you
But I won’t go crazy for you
Somewhere in all this I lost my mind
Baby, we’d go walkin’ in the rain
Baby, I’d fall in love each time you’d say my name
But then you left
It was somethin’ you told me you couldn’t figure
And I keep hearin’ you say
I was always crazy ’bout you
But I won’t go crazy for you
Somewhere in all this I lost my mind
It’s to stop this hopin’
Time to land and pull the ropes in
It’s so crazy but I just can’t keep on needin’ you this much
I know you
Hey, you think I’m a fool
‘cause I don’t see nothin’
But I can still hear you say
I was always crazy ’bout you
But I won’t go crazy for you
Somewhere in all this I lost my mind
It’s to stop this hopin’
Time to land and pull the ropes in
It’s so crazy but I just can’t keep on needin’ you this much

Wrong
You sit there on your own
A smug grin on your face
There’s times when you make me
Want to leave the human race
You’re lyin’, all those words
You wrap up like some deal
You’re like a real bad spin
On a crooked, broken wheel
So move on, get goin’
Ciao, bye and so long
How could someone seem so right
But turn out just so wrong?
You’ve played out all your cards
No aces up your sleeve
No rabbits in your hat
It’s time for you to leave
No boundaries, no limit
No promise that you’ll keep
You’re doin’ my head in
I hear your bullshit in my sleep
So move on, get goin’
Ciao, bye and so long
How could someone seem so right
But turn out just so wrong?
Hit the road, keep walkin’
Sling your hook, just move along
How could someone seem so right
But turn out just so wrong?
I just don’t fool quite that easy
No, no, no
Someone who thinks they’re so good
Is no damn good for me

Mr Bad Man
On the day we parted, lookin’ for another life
On good advice
Now that day is dawnin’, don’t you come runnin’
Yeah, think twice
Feelings come, let feelings go
Now you know better than to raise your head
And let them know
The ones who guessed that you were faking it
It’s time to cover up my tracks
You know I won’t be comin’ back
So hard to go in for the kill
You see, I never had the will
It’s easier for those who pray
But I don’t understand that way
I put in most of what I had
To keep myself from goin’ bad
As I sit alone, I ponder what temptation lies ahead
As McCartney said, “Can’t buy me love”
Mr Bad Man come inside and take a look into my eyes
And I’ll exercise my right to be here
Won’t you come forward, show your face?
Or are you that hard to please?
Why must you rain on my parade?
Now you’re the one who brought me to my knees
It’s time to cover up my tracks
You know I won’t be comin’ back
So hard to go in for the kill
You see, I never had the will
It’s easier for those who pray
But I don’t understand that way
I saved the most of what I had
To keep myself from goin’ bad
It’s time to cover up my tracks
You know I won’t be comin’ back
So hard to go in for the kill
You see, I never had the will
It’s easier for those who pray
But I don’t understand that way
I saved the most of what I had
To keep myself from goin’ bad
Goodbye Mr Bad Man
See ya later alligator
In a while crocodile
Goodbye Mr Bad Man, take a bow

Just Blame Me
You keep tryin’ to tell me it’s all over
You say I’m too blind to see the truth
So here we go, another rough patch
But we always find a way back
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry sooner
You know that I’d sell my soul to keep you
At least the little of it that remains
You say you’ve got nothin’ left for me
Packed up my faults, dumped 'em next to me
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry sooner
Just blame me and my heart will get back to ya
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry
Just blame me, just blame me
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry sooner
Just blame me and my heart will get back to ya
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry sooner
Just blame me and my heart will get back to ya
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry sooner
Just blame me and my heart will get back to ya
Just blame me and we’ll get to sorry sooner
Just blame me and my heart will get back to ya
