Lyrics

• 1. Undivided

  That was my brother lost in the rubble
  That was my sister lost in the crush
  That was our mothers, those were our children
  That was our fathers, that was each one of us
  A million prayers to God above
  A million tears make an ocean of

  [Chorus:]
  One for love
  One for truth
  One for me, one for you

  I found spirit, they couldn't ruin it
  I found courage in the smoke and dust
  I found faith in the songs you silenced
  Deep down it's ringing out in each of us
  Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

  [Chorus:]
  One for love
  One for truth
  One for me, one for you

  Where we once were divided, now we stand united
  We stand as one... undivided.
  How many hands? How many hearts?
  How many dreams been torn apart?
  Enough, enough... the time has come to rise back as

  [Chorus:]
  One for love
  One for truth
  One for me, one for you

  Where we once were divided now we stand united
  We stand as one... undivided.

  Undivided.
  Undivided.

  One for love
  One for truth
  One for me, one for you
  Where we once were divided, now we stand united
  We stand as one... undivided.

• 2. Everyday

  I used to be the kind of guy
  Who'd never let you look inside
  I'd smile when I was crying
  I had nothing but a life to loose
  Thought I had a lot to proof
  In my life, there's no denying

  Goodbye to all my yesterdays
  Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way

  I've had enough of cryin'
  Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
  Hear me when I say
  Gonna live my life everyday
  I'm gonna touch the sky
  And I spread these wings and fly
  I ain't here to play
  I'm gonna live my life everyday

  Change, everybody's feeling strange
  Never gonna be the same
  Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
  Life, learning how to live my life
  Learning how to pick my fights
  Take my shots while I'm still burning

  Goodbye to all those rainy nights
  Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

  I've had enough of cryin'
  Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
  Hear me when I say
  Gonna live my life everyday
  I'm gonna touch the sky
  And I spread these wings and fly
  I ain't here to play
  I'm gonna live my life everyday

  Hit the gas, take the wheel
  I've just made myself a deal
  There ain't nothing gonna get in my way
  Everyday

  Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on

  I've had enough of cryin'
  Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
  Hear me when I say
  Gonna live my life everyday
  I'm gonna touch the sky
  And I spread these wings and fly
  I ain't here to play
  I'm gonna live my life everyday

  I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday
  I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I
  I'm gonna live my life everyday

• 3. The Distance

  There's a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
  Far away where no one's waiting, so far from home, so far from home

  There's a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
  Like that lonesome whistle blowing
  I keep on going, keep on going...

  [Chorus:]
  Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
  You are the light
  In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
  I'll never give up the fight
  I'll go the distance

  There's a thread that runs between us pulling 'cross this great divide
  It's only there for the believers
  Don't stop believing, don't stop believing

  [Chorus:]
  Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
  You are the light
  In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
  I'll never give up the fight
  I'll go the distance, I'll go the distance

  There's a neverending story that begins with you and I
  Like the rose outside your window
  Don't let it die, don't let it die

  [Chorus:]
  Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
  You are the light
  In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night

  Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
  You are the light
  In my mind I see your red dress and my arms are reaching through the night
  I'll never give up the fight
  I'll go the distance

• 4. Joey

  Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
  Some would say that he was bad and Joe thought that was good
  Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks
  He never really robbed no one; it sure amused the cops
  Joey's parents owned a restaurant
  After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want
  I never cared that Joey Keys was slow

  Though he couldn't read or write too well but we'd talk all night long.

  Come on, come on, come on
  What you gonna do with your life?
  Come on, come on, come on
  Chasing sparks in the nights
  His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere
  But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings
  And break us out of here

  [Chorus:]
  Hey Joey
  C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams
  Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
  Tell me who you're gonna be
  Hey Joey
  You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
  Sometimes you got to stand and fight
  It'll be alright

  We're gonna find a better life

  See Joe was 3 years younger to the day
  Acting like a little brother but became my ball and chain
  I met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for me
  She said, "I might learn to like him but love ain't built for three."

  [Chorus]

  Hey Joey
  News gets around in this fading neighborhood
  The old man lost the restaurant
  He drinks more than he should
  It's time for Joey keys to do some good
  Pick the lock off our lives, let's get out of here like we always said we would

  [Chorus]

  We're gonna find a better life

  Find a better life
  Find a better life

• 5. Misunderstood

  Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
  If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
  If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine

  You cried, I died
  I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
  As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
  If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
  I'm wasting time when I think about it

  [Chorus:]
  I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
  I was misunderstood
  I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
  Damn, misunderstood

  Could I? Should I?
  Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
  Staying out too late with all my friends
  You found me passed out in the yard again

  You cried, I tried
  To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
  It's not so bad when you think about it

  [Chorus:]
  I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
  I was misunderstood
  I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
  Damn, misunderstood
  Intentions good

  [Guitar Solo]

  It's you and I, just think about it...

  [Chorus:]
  I should have drove all night
  I would have run all the lights
  I was misunderstood
  I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
  I 'm hanging outside your door
  I've been here before
  Misunderstood

  I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
  Damn, misunderstood
  Intentions good.

• 6. All About Lovin' You

  Looking at the pages of my life
  Faded memories of me and you
  Mistakes you know I've made a few
  I took some shots and fell from time to time
  Baby, you were there to pull me through
  We've been around the block a time or two
  I'm gonna lay it on the line
  Ask me how we've come this far
  The answer's written in my eyes

  [Chorus:]
  Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
  That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
  I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
  When I look at what my life's been comin' to
  I'm all about lovin' you

  I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
  We've been to hell and back again
  Through it all you're always my best friend
  For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
  Tonight I'm gonna find a way

  [Chorus:]
  Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
  That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
  I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
  When I look at what my life's been comin' to
  I'm all about lovin' you

  You can take this world away
  You're everything I am
  Just read the lines upon my face
  I'm all about lovin' you

  [Guitar Solo]

  [Chorus:]
  Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
  That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
  I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
  When I look at what my life's been comin' to
  I'm all about lovin' you

  All about lovin' you

• 7. Hook Me Up

  Hello, is there anybody out there?
  I'm alone hanging by a thread
  Everywhere around the world
  Everybody's waiting for someday
  Calling out around the world
  Maybe someday might be tonight

  [Chorus:]
  Hook me up
  I'm reaching out for you, come on
  Hook me up
  I know you can do it, come on, take me on

  Are you there?
  Tell me what you're feeling.
  Your fears and all your wildest dreams
  Everyone around the world
  Is feeling just the same way that we are
  Reaching out around the world
  Will someone somewhere throw me a line?

  [Chorus:]
  Hook me up
  I'm reaching out for you, come on
  Hook me up
  I know you can do it, come on, take me on

  Save me, save me
  Save me, save me
  Hello, is there anybody out there?

  [Guitar Solo]

  Calling out around the world
  Maybe someday might be tonite

  [Chorus:]
  Hook me up
  I'm reaching out for you, come on
  Hook me up
  I know you can do it, come on, take me on
  Hook me up
  I'm hanging on the line, come on
  Hook me up
  Make me come alive, come on, take me on

  Save me, save me,
  Save me, save me

• 8. Right Side Of Wrong

  A friend of a friend needs a favor
  No questions asked, there's not much more to say

  Me and the wife, we need the money
  We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
  Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'
  Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye
  And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
  Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight

  [Chorus:]
  I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
  We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
  And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
  Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
  On the Right Side of Wrong

  We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
  In a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life
  We'll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, we'll stop at lookers on the way back
  Hell, we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight

  [Chorus:]
  I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
  We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
  And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
  Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
  On the Right Side of Wrong

  We'll make the grade, they'll know our names, I need a friend to drive here
  Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
  I'll take that suitcase, get the cash and we'll be gone before you know
  Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...

  [Guitar Solo]

  A friend of a friend needed a favor
  Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans
  We never saw nothing, there was a run-in
  .9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
  As the cop said, "Show your hands!"

  [Chorus:]
  I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
  We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
  And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
  Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
  On the Right Side of Wrong

• 9. Love Me Back To Life

  This world don't give you nothing it can't take away
  Everybody holding on to something
  Nobody wants to fade away

  No forgiveness on the streets of this town
  I left my patience at a traffic light
  There's no denying that I almost lost it
  Threw in the towel, too tired to fight

  Tonight I need you
  More than yesterday
  Tonight I need you

  [Chorus:]
  Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
  Make me come alive
  Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
  Rescue me tonight
  Love me back to life

  These days I'd trade sight for feeling
  There are days my feeling's gone
  Can't figure out whose life I'm living
  I don't know right from wrong

  When I lost my faith
  You found it and gave it back to me
  There's a new light on your halo; it took blind eyes to see

  That I need you
  More than yesterday
  Yeah, I need you

  [Chorus:]
  Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
  Make me come alive
  Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
  Rescue me tonight
  Love me back to life

  [Guitar Solo]

  [Chorus:]
  Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
  Make me come alive
  Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
  Rescue me

  Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
  Make me come alive
  Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
  Rescue me tonight
  Love me back to life
  Love me back to life
  Love me back to life
  Love me back to life

• 10. You Had Me From Hello

  At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
  You're insecure about what clothes to wear
  I can't see nothing wrong

  To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
  It's half past eight, it's getting late
  It's OK, take your time

  Standing here my hands in my pockets
  Like I have a thousand times
  Thinking back it took one breath
  One word to change my life

  [Chorus:]
  The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
  If I never told you I just want you to know
  You had me from hello

  When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone
  Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
  You just smile and steal the show

  You come to me and take my hand
  We start dancin' slow
  You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low

  [Chorus:]
  From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home
  If I never told you I just want you to know
  You had me from hello

  And when you're laying down beside me
  I feel your heartbeat to remind me...

  [Chorus:]
  The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
  If I never told you I just want you to know
  You had me from hello

  From hello
  From hello

• 11. Bounce

  I been knocked down so many times
  Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9
  Written off like some bad deal
  If you're breathing you know how it feels
  Call it karma, call it luck
  Me, I just don't give a

  [Chorus:]
  Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
  Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
  Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
  Count me out, count me in
  I'll be bouncing back again

  This ain't no game; I play it hard
  Kicked around, cut, stitched and scarred
  I'll take the hit but not the fall
  I know no fear, still standing tall
  You can call it karma, call it luck
  Me, I just don't give a

  [Chorus:]
  Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
  Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
  Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
  Count me out, count me in
  I'll be bouncing back again

  Bounce!

  [Guitar Solo]

  Bring it on, I like it rough
  In your face, I call your bluff
  It ain't karma, it ain't luck
  Me, I just don't give a

  [Chorus:]
  Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
  Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
  Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
  Count me out, count me in
  I'll be bouncing back again

  Bounce, Bounce
  Nothing's gonna keep me down
  Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
  Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
  Count me out, count me in
  I'll be bouncing back again

• 12. Open All Night

  I saw you coming from a mile away
  Trying to hide behind that pretty face
  Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
  Poor little heart all black 'n' blue

  Last thing you need's another pickup line
  You must have heard them all a thousand times
  God only knows what you been through
  Believe me I been broken too

  It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
  I've been around that block a time or two

  [Chorus:]
  Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
  I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
  Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
  I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
  I'll leave on the light
  These arms are open all night

  I got your taste in the back of my mouth
  I want to reach in and pull it out
  And I'd be lying if I didn't say
  When you're this close I'm afraid
  Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair
  The way I'll miss you when you're not there
  And that I'll see you when I close my eyes
  It's too late, I've crossed that line

  It breaks, it aches, it takes your breath away
  I'll still be around come closing time

  [Chorus:]
  Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
  I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth
  Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
  I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
  I'll leave on the light
  These arms are open all night

  [Guitar solo]

  It's 2 am, it's last call, baby. The barkeep's gone, I'll walk you home now
  Save me, baby

  [Chorus:]
  Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
  I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth
  Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break
  I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
  I'll leave on the light
  These arms are open all night
