1. Now Or Never

They all say just toe the line
Don’t make any noise
Be like dad and you’ll be fine
You don’t have no choice
It’s my life and I’ll decide
Where I’m going now
Find my way through wrong or right
That’s what it’s all about
What it’s all about
Make your mind up and be there
And do it better
Hold your head high in the air
It’s now or never
Things get hard and life is tough
Gotta do what’s right
Even when the seas are rough
And days turn into night
Don’t believe what people say
Listen to your heart
It’ll light the darkest way
That’ll be the start,
What a way to start!
Make your mind up and declare
I’ll do it better
Hold your head high in the air
It’s now or never

2. Done Me Wrong

You turned away and left
Me all on my own
I’ve tried to call you but
You don’t take the phone
My hand is aching from the letters I’ve sent
Been going crazy since you packed your things
And went
Are you sorry that you’ve done me wrong?
Are you crying now the nights are long?
Are you sorry that you’ve done me wrong?
When you listen to this song…
You never told me why
It didn’t work out
You never said what
It was all about
I’m going crazy, going out of my mind
Oh baby, please let’s give it
Just another try
Are you sorry that you’ve done me wrong?
Are you lonely now the nights are long?
Are you sorry that you’ve done me wrong?
‘cause my love is still strong…

3. Too Good For Me

She knows me better than I know myself
She knows my each and every dream
I fix the car, she darns my socks for me
A perfect match – or so it seems
There was a time when I was young and wild at heart
Nothing could stop me then – until she came my way
Too good for me
Too nice to handle
Now don’t you see
Too much to handle
Too good for me
She brings me beer and puts the TV on
Of course she knows my favorite show
She fakes desire and says it’s always fun
It might be true – I wouldn’t know
There was a time when I was reckless and on fire
Nothing could scare me then – until she came my way
Too good for me
Too nice to handle
Now don’t you see
Too much to handle

4. I Will Be There

Never had this feeling
I always dreamed about
Lost and left alone on my own
Another day of longing
Another day in tears
‘Til I looked into your eyes and lost my mind
You showed me all the reasons
That life is worth living for
You took my hand and said
You’ll never let me go, won’t let me go
You are the sun in my sky
That dries my tears when I cry
And I will be there, I’ll be there for you
You are my light in the night
For ever I’ll hold on tight
And I will be there, I’ll be there for you
The day on which you leave me
Will be the day I die
You know my broken heart would fall apart
Another day without you
Would be a day in tears
Please don’t never ever go away
You showed me all the reasons
That life is worth living for
Oh baby we should be
Together for all the time, for all the time
You are the sun in my sky
That dries my tears when I cry
And I will be there, I’ll be there for you
You are my light in the night
For ever I’ll hold on tight
And I will be there, I’ll be there for you
You are the reason I live And I swear you can believe
That I will be there, I’ll be there, I’ll be there for you!

5. Rising High

Tried so long to be someone thought that I’d be the one
I dreamed my whole life that I win the big run
No one told me the reason why my way was so hard
But now I’ll face it, give my life a good start
I will never give up
Do the best I can
‘cause I know my dream will some day comes true
Rising high up to the sky
Fly so high without fear of falling
Rising high up to the sky
Fly so high without fear of falling down
Once a wise man was talking ‘bout the meaning of life
“Wanna climb a ladder, gotta start from the ground
There is never a straight road but I’m sure there’s a path
Be what you dreamed of or just stay as a slave”
So I never give up
Do the best I can
‘cause I know my dream will some day comes true
Rising high up to the sky
Fly so high without fear of falling
Rising high up to the sky
Fly so high without fear of falling down

6. Little Stories

Where are you going baby
With your eyes so bright?
You ain’t gonna visit your momma
At this time of night
You’re not gonna see your sister
She lives too far away
And not the next door neighbour
She’s been away all day
Tell me a story
Like you always do
Another little story
I’ll believe it too
You stand there in the doorway
And fill me with you lies
Your painted lips are smiling
But there’s that look in your eyes
I know there’s someone waiting
Out there in the dark
But as long as you come home to me
I’ll be an easy mark
Tell me a story
Think up something new
Another little story
The best you can do

7. My Life - My World

When I’m dreaming, you are there
No more hard words, no despair
It’s the way it should have been
Then I wake up and there’s only me
Broke your promise, broke our dreams
You were never what you seemed
I was foolish, all in all
No running now when you call
This is my life, this my world
I’m the one who’ll choose the way to go now
This is my life, this is my world
And what we’d have had, you’ll never ever know
Broke your promise, broke your word
Ooh, your smile was a two- edged sword
I was foolish, now one I see
You were never the one for me
This is my life, this is my world
I’m the one who’ll choose the way to go now
This is my life, this is my world
And what we’d have had, you’ll never ever know
This is my life, this is my world
You thrown away now the best thing in your life

8. Sign In The Sky

Come on my sweet longing
Take me from a ride
I know where we’re going
And I don’t mind the night
Same old town, same dull street
Same sad eyes, same old greed
But a change will come and move me on
I can feel it now – I’m ready to run
Ready to run
There’s a sign in the sky
And as I’m reaching high
I can feel I can make it tonight
I’ve been waiting so long
For a feeling so strong
For a chance to walk into the light
Some believes in angels
Others go insane
Some say just be patient
Till someone calls your name
I don’t pray, don’t pretend
I won’t wait until the end
Now a change will come and move me on
I can feel it now – I’m ready to run
There’s a sign in the sky
And as I’m reaching high
I can feel I can make it tonight
I’ve been waiting so long
For a feeling so strong
For a chance to walk into the light

9. Run Away

The train is waiting down there on the tracks
It's gonna take me far away, no turning back
Packed my bags and my old guitar
With the words I heard still spinning in my head
I've got to run away
There's no need to stay
Run away
Before the break of day Well, where's nothing that can keep here no more
And it's something that I've never done before
But it's time for a new beginning
Time for a brand new start
So to keep the sanity that I've still got... I've got to run away
There's no need to stay
Run away
Before the break of day Don't asking me about my destination
Gonna ride along and get out at a station
And don't even try to find me
I've left you all behind me
And by way of explanation I'll just say...
I've got to run away
There's no need to stay
Run away
Before the break of day

10. Fight The Fire

Saw it on the TV, heard it on the news
Guy who shot his children – nothing left to lose
Read it in the paper, couldn’t trust my eyes
Pretty lady jumping – and pretty lady dies
It’s a wild wild world without heroes
It’s a men old world without hope
But I’ll fight the fire
I won’t surrender
Higher and higher
No I ain’t bending
I don’t fancy Jesus, I don’t feed on hate
Always do it my way till I meet my fate
There might be a reason why we live and die
Why we hurt our loved ones, why we love and lie
It’s a wild wild world without heroes
It’s a men old world without hope
But I’ll fight the fire
I won’t surrender
Higher and higher

11. Anything

Memories of love, memories of pain
Memories of you and me in the rain
The smile in your eyes, shining so bright
Making me feel like holding you tight
You and me were wild and free
Like two white doves in the sky
So blind with love we could not see
That we weren’t meant to fly
And I’d do anything to make you believe me
Anything to make you change your mind
Yes I’d go anywhere as long as you’re with me
As long as you are by my side
Feelings of joy, feelings of pride
The feeling of holding you close at night
And look at me know, just what do you see?
The shadow of someone I used to be
You and me were strong and free
Like two eagles in the sky
So blind with love we could not see
That we weren’t meant to fly
And I’d do anything to make you believe me
Anything to make you change your mind
Yes I’d go anywhere as long as you’re with me
As long as you are by my side

12. Trapped

Now raise your hands and feel the power
And left it flow right through your veins
Now you can reach the highest mountains
But just remember you must play
Let me be your guide
And you’ll never walk alone
You won’t realize
That I steal your mind
And I will never let you know
Never let you go…
Now clear your mind up and start learning
To see the world with different eyes
And when the end of time is coming
You’ll be one of those who will survive
Let me be your light
Let me show you how to life
You won’t realize
That I steal your mind
But I will never let you know
That I’ll never let you go…
Let me be your guide
And you never be alone
Let me be your light
Let me show you where to go
You won’t realize
That I steal your mind
But I will never let you know
