I am one man I am one of a kind
I'm like lightning you will know when I strike
Put your foot down try to keep up with me
I'm in control of my own destiny
On your marks
Then get set go
I'm going faster, faster than the speed of light
I'm going faster stay ahead all the time
Catch me if you can catch me if you can
I'm going faster, faster than the speed of light
Like Flash Harry blink and I will be gone
Just a second is all I'll ever want
In the fast lane is where I live my life
I will get there and leave the rest behind
So come on come on come on
Let's get out of here

There's a light that shines on you
A shining light that guides you through all you see
It paved a path for you to take keep going
There's a voice inside your head
Telling you what to do next just believe
For it could see you right in life it's knowing
Only you can do this do it now
We will all be here
So just keep on loving moving running be free
Yeah keep on coming living winning believe
There's a fire and it burns bright
A lingering flame that lights the night all you need
It lit the way for you to see the finish
There's a twist right at the end
One that you would never have guessed just believe
For it can see your victories keep winning
Take it to the top give it all you've got till you've had enough

Man Down

I'm at the point of no return burnt my candle at both ends
I've been knocked down that many times how will I get up again
Been lead by the blind all the time that's all I had to follow
Promised I change everyday then fail again tomorrow
So don't begin to just give in all the papers had to say
You have to lose before you win that's what makes the very best so great
Too many things are going wrong in my life today
One step forward and three steps back is every step I take
All my hopes and dreams are crushed all the world can see
It's just passing me by
Not all you see is black and white you've got to read between the lines
The only time I know I'm wrong is the only time I'm right
Just don't follow me on my journey I've seen all I want to see
All my life I've gone to hell and back not even I know what I mean

Royal Violet

If I could write a story I'd write it to the end
If I could paint a picture oh of my oldest friend
I could do it with my eyes closed
Because every second spent
If I could pick a flower I'd offer it to you
It would be a violet and this would be its tune
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na (it's Royal Violet)
When I think about you it's a sin to tell a lie
I've never seen you crying you only ever made me smile

Time

Sally's always left behind
While the world slowly passes by
She never gets to put her point across
Cos everyone's in such a rush
With her back up against the wall
She's a lesson to one and all
While the world slowly passes by
Poor old Sally's out of time.
One head strong woman against the world
The bets are down on who will come out worse
Sally have you got the time
It's creeping up on you
You better look behind
Sally you're a penny ride
I'll stay with you what is on your mind
Sally you've lost too much
The grace you had is now the common touch
Sally used to have it all
But oh how the mighty fall
Sally turns tricks for trade
Hates the job but she loves the pay
Everybody talks behind her back
Some are vicious some just laugh
She's the one shut out in the cold
She's the one with all control
She goes home with the money that she's made
Sally turns tricks to pay her way

Take Me Away
04:46

This lady is waiting for Johnny come lately
To take her to the great beyond
Dreams they are chasing, time they are wasting
Brings them back where they belong
They see the horizon of where they are driving
Night skies turned to blue
Will she get there, there's a storm in the air
Every sign says scenic route
It's never gonna turn out right
A losing battle game of life
A fight that no man is ever gonna win
Kick a man when he's down standing his ground
Over the top and into the crowd take me away
Take a man at his word risking the hurt
The champion always finishes first take me away
This man he is talking sharing his stories
To anyone that's willing to stay
Remembering places putting names to their faces
Every tear has left a stain
Everyday is a bonus on something to focus
Happy endings out of sight
It's a joy to be given where nothings forbidden
Bearing scars of many miles
Out of the dark into the light
It's a long road ahead
Out of the rain into the sun
Such a long road ahead

Man Like Gary
04:07

|
Man to man standing face to face
Chewing the fat over the human race
Just killing time waiting for the end
I'll see you again goodbye my friend
Man to man standing back to back
Why the long face why are you so sad
Time stands still as we bow our heads
We raise a glass to you my friend
Over the years we travelled many miles
We saw may smiles it was very wild
Man like Gary aiming for the stars
He was carried by his beating heart
Man like Gary he'll never walk alone
He'll never walk alone man Like Gary
Man to man standing side by side
Talking the talk putting the world to right
Oh how we laughed at the things that we did
I'll never forget things that we said
Man like Gary
Man like Gary
Man like Gary

Lullaby
03:55
|

|
Listen children hang onto my every word
What I have to tell you may cause some concern
Gather around me and take each others hand
What I have to tell you would turn a boy into a man
Between a rock and a hard place
This is your life
All I can hear is lullaby lullaby
It's another lullaby there's no way that you can hide
It's every man for himself running from this lullaby
Just another lullaby hear them cry man alive
It's every man for himself running from this lullaby
A crowd of people from the oldest to the young
What I have to tell you it won't take me long
I don't want to scare you I will tell you no lies
I just want to save you from lullaby, lullaby

A Cry For Help
04:19
|
|||
|
I can never find the words to say when I open my mouth
I never want to play the game when I know that I'm allowed
You can tell me till you're blue in face but you won't get through
You can tell me that it's raining outside but I won't believe you
I need saving
Saving from me
It's a cry for help
Won't you please throw me a lifeline
That will help me in my lifetime
My idea of hell
I don't wanna be a headline
I just wanna see the sunrise
I'll never find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
I'll always jump before I'm pushed to get to where I need love
There's no way back when you've gone too far with a gun at your head
You can dance with the devil all you like it ends in your death
I'll rise up like a phoenix from the flames
Saying I'm back and I've been saved
Yeah

The Champion
04:42
|

|
There's no time like now nothing comes easy
It's in front of you running on empty
Please forgive me Father I should've been good
Please forgive me Mother for what I have done
So it's all or nothing be the champion now
In the end it's worth it you have to knock them out
When the world is with you, you are doing it right
The champion for life
To be the greatest keep on winning
Need to stay hungry never stop dreaming
This is my time to fight and I'll win it
It's my time to shine oh yeah
If you get knocked down get up off the floor
Dance till the last bell win battles and wars

Loaded Gun
03:50
|
|||
|
Once upon a time starts your story
You don't feel the fear no guts no glory
You've been chasing ghosts all of your life
You took them all down one at a time
I've crossed that line
Just like a loaded gun's too dangerous
And like a fire below's too hot to touch
And when a prayer to God's the best you've got
Hang on to the end you took a shot
Your distorted views of days gone by
He just talks in tongues no-one knows why
Running for our lives and don't look back
What was so damn good had to go bad
Surrender your guns or meet your maker
Live with your lies everything's faded

Your Day From Hell
04:35
|
|||
|
One hand on the bible the other on your heart
Do you promise to tell the truth
Look beyond what hides behind the madness
You will hear it sing to you
Leave me dreaming while I walk the moon
Treading gently so I don't wake you
Falling from the sky your arms are open wide
Is your day in bed your day your day from hell
Falling from above forever looking up
Is your day in bed your day from hell
If you fall on your sword then you can lose your way
Do you still believe the news
Look beyond what hides behind the darkness
You will see it breaking through
Like a rabbit in the headlights
You should be running for your life
