Together

break these chains of pain
keep the faith and pray
we will make it through
together

believe there is a way
to take the love we save
give it to the world
together

and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
'cause we're friends

let the cynics cry
say we're all gonna die
we will prove them wrong
together

we know better now
we can show them how
we can learn to fly
together

and i know now
at this moment we are hurtin'
we'll shine like diamonds in the end
i know now
that even though we're hurtin'
we're strong together
'cause we're friends

You're The One

i sometimes think about you
and pretend that you are here
i feel so lost and lonely
as the good times disappear
i have no consolation
all i know is you are gone
and it's left me to forget you
something i have never done

when the wind blows
when the night calls
when my heart comes all undone
i go back into my memory
you're the one
yes, you're the one

there is no resolution
for the love i lost back then
the days keep moving on now
and i can't go back again
i have no bitter feelings
just an empty bitter ache
i guess that's all that you left with
when your heart's too broke to break

when the wind blows
when the night calls
when my heart comes all undone
i go back into my memory
you're the one
yes, you're the one

Not What I'm Here For

all this fussin' and fightin'
pointin' to the video
he said...she said
what damage did they do?
the people have spoken
they've spoken loud and clear
predictions are given
it's the future we should fear
all of this drivel
runnin' down the wire
not what i'm here for

all these fugitive governors
runnin' to the talk show
she said he said
what bad thing did i do?
the losers are angry
they want to turn around
their vision of the future
we're headed straight for down
all of this drivel
runnin' through the ether
not what i'm here for

someone sing me out of here
i don't know what to do
the rush is on to hate
things we never knew

all this pushin' and shovin'
jockey for position
he said...she said
the next time will we do
other things other ways
the people just don't see
we're comin' to save them
with our own reality
all of this drivel
shinin' on my TeeVee
not what i'm here for

Only Alone

do i look like a victim
so easily led
was it my hermit ways
that made you forget
i'm not really desperate
i just don't like the phone
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

i try to remember
what made me move on
the things i've forgotten
are already gone
i don't need a memory
to tempt me from home
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone

i'd live in the past
but there's only regret
i'd rather stumble along
it's as good as i get
i'm not looking for pity
in this world that i own
it may look like i'm lonely
but i'm only alone
