Everybody wants to rule the world Nothing ever lasts forever Welcome to your life There's no turning back Even while we sleep We will find you Acting on your best behavior Turn your back on mother nature It's my own design

Beyond dreams Beyond life You will find your song Before sounds to be found Close your eyes and rise Higher still endless thrill To the lend of love beyond love Come alive and you'll find forever watching you alive

Someone wake me I've become my darkest fear Nude and violated I raped the life from her body Lying dead the insects bite her pale skin My marks of torture Left on my daughter Body badly beaten My ropes and chains

Here they come now, gotta lay low She never knew my name, least not the one my daddy gave me I took off the way I came, moonlight reflectin' off the road She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie If I loved her it was only for a night Livin' life

You can always come home Wherever life's road leads, you can get back To a love that's strong and free You never be alone, in your heart there's still a place No matter how right or wrong you've gone Spread your wings, don't be afraid to try The world

If it takes a lifetime I got too far from my raising, I forgot where I come from And the line between right and wrong was so fine Well I thought the highway loved me But she beat me like a drum My day will come, if it takes a lifetime I've been working

Approaching original violence To each his own Life can do with one less watered-down excuse If this is over you can tell me it's no use Use, just tell me it's over There comes a time when we can't take the same abuse We can't continue on like this Now

All my life I've been waiting for moments to come When I catch fire and watch over you like the sun I will fight to fix up and get things right I can't change the world but maybe I'll change your mind Oh say, can you see? This is not who I'm supposed to

All my life Everything's been after me I just refused to see Take me in from the storm Come and rescue me Under the wings of mother mary Here is where It goes on and on and on Beneath the tree of heaven

You try to live your life from day to day But seeing you across the room tonight Just gives me away The heart won't lie Looking back over the years Of All the things I've always meant to say But words didn't come easily So many times through empty fears
