Welcome friends
I have nothing to hide
The journey's end has left a mark inside
I'm sure you've heard the rumors, jealousies
And all the lies

I do not fear you
Do you fear me?
Love again

I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to it

No victims
These choices were all mine
Looking within
These scars will heal with time
There's no excuse for weakness, selfishness
Or compromise

I do not fear you
Do you fear me?
Love again

I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to it

I reach out
I reach out
Can't give in
Can't give in

I reach out (I reach out)
I give in
Can we start again?
I finally hear this reason
I wish there was no fall
I'll never be alone again
Screaming at the walls

I reach out
I reach out
I reach out
I reach out

I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to it

I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to that voice within my soul
I reach out
Can't give in
Learn to listen to it
Learn to listen to it
Learn to listen to it

Sometimes it starts with a silent curse
Sometimes it doesn't waste time
You still think I look upon this with hatred in my mind
I won't lie
It took some time

But I know one thing
It took me away from!
All the things love gave me
So I had to let things go!

I can go another round despite you.

I'm still healing
No I'm not reeling
Yes I'm feeling
This is my fight song

Now I'm left with a scar to reverse.
Yes another burden to fight
I guess I made it this far so I know things will be alright
I won't lie
I will survive

I'm still healing
No I'm not reeling
Yes I'm feeling
This is my fight song

But I know one thing
It takes me away from
All the things love gave me
So I had to let things go!

It's so hard to forget
But I must let go...and begin
To live again
and not give in
I figured out
I will land on solid ground
I will land on solid ground
I will go another round

I can go another round despite you.

I'm still healing
No I'm not reeling
Yes I'm feeling

So let me tell a story, friend
Of diamond hands and one night stands
I guess the good life paid you once or twice

Just when I thought I had it all
Caught a sucker punch and lost it all
Just never thought it would have come from you

So here I stand alone again
With one eye open, I'm a broken man
Life flashed before my eyes, but I'm alive

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

So what am I supposed to do
When all I've got is God and you
I guess I'll trust the one I can't see

As I sit here on this park bench
Knowing what you are thinking
I wonder how you close your eyes to sleep

So here I stand alone again
Talking to my faceless friend
At least when we've got words
We're eye to eye

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)
I'm just a simple man (make it through)

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way
I pray you'll make it through

I found out the hard way
And your day's coming soon
I found out the hard way

I met a man in New Orleans wore a half suit with dark blue jeans
Kicked his heals together winked at me real nice.
I saw him from a mile away,
But in my state of mind I let him make his play
“Hey boy… have you seen the other side”
Yeah…in this man I saw the devil's hand so I looked at him man to man said
“This time it's gonna be a fight!”

I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I'm alive.

I saw her from across the room with diamond eyes she's heaven's jewel.
Dropped two aces smiled and threw my cards back.
Yeah I've been that man
Who lives deceit
Surrounds himself with worldly things.

So let me tell you a story
Let me feed it to you

We fly around like we were superman live in another trance
a different way to dance with dark romance
you get another chance to do that dirty dance without consequence.

I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I'm alive.

Let me change the timber of this section
Add a little booze to ice
I guess you probably noticed
I've been living a double life

So fly around like you are superman given another chance
a different way to dance with true romance
you get another chance to tell your dirty, darkest secrets.

We fly around like we were superman live in another trance
different way to dance with dark romance
you get another chance to do the dirty dance without consequence.

I do not have to justify,
The way I live my life.
I do not have to justify,
The reason I'm alive.

No more.
It's just not me.
Not me.

Tell me friend is this forgiving
Tell me friend are you believing
Tell me friend if it's worth the fight

So please let me go
So please let me go Let me go

What's the use of our deceiving
What's the use so stop retreating
We are lost and all our hope is gone

So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go

So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go

Once a boy I was forgiven
Now a man I'm lucky living
Always know our memories will live on

We'll live on
We'll live on
We'll live on
We'll live on

So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go

So please let me go
So please let me go
Let me go

They say no man's an island but I tend to disagree
I guess they've never seen my island,
And where it lies at sea
I'm lost inside my memory.
I'm still in disbelief.
If I could paint a picture for you this is what you'd see

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me…Surround me…now

A wounded man sounds desperate when he's lost all his belief
Can you look into my eyes and say you won't betray me
We're running out of time
How precious time can be
I'm counting all the moments of the times you could have helped me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me…Surround me

I'm down on my knees
Begging you to rescue me
Please stop me
Don't let me run
Surround me…Surround me

Surround me now

I have run to the ocean
Through the Horizon
Chased the sun
I've waited for the light to come,
And at times I would give up
You have
Wrapped your loving arms ‘round me,
And with your love I'll overcome.
You have
Loved me when I was weak,
You have
Given unselfishly,
Kept me from Falling…Falling
Everywhere but my Knees!

You set me free!
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me Free!

I've been on Heaven's doorstep,
With the Door open,
One foot inside
I've cried out…God give me answers!
Please hush child I'll tell you why
You have
Loved me when you were weak,
You kept
Giving unselfishly,
Kept you from
Falling…Falling
Everywhere but your Knees!

You set me free!
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide
You set me free!

Oh…our love is beautiful
Oh…oo…oh…Isn't it beautiful?
Times have changed
But you remain
My everything
Our Love is Beautiful
Stood by my side
Helped me survive
My great Divide
Isn't this is beautiful.

You set me free!
To live my life
You became my reason to survive the great divide

I will follow you through heaven, earth and time
Will you be there for me when I reach the end of the line
So can you guarantee
For all eternity
Sublime…sublime

If we just carry on
We will find a way
If it's our destiny
Can you and me just be
Sublime!

Will you follow me a shoulder's sometimes nice
I will be there for you when a safety net feels right
So give your hand to me
When you need anything
Sublime…Sublime

If we just carry on
We will find a way
If it's our destiny
Can you and me just be
Sublime!

Hush now darling don't you cry
Every little thing is gonna be alright
Hush now child don't say a word
Trying to sing a song bout heaven on earth

If we just carry on
We will find a way
If it's our destiny
Can you and me just be
Sublime!

If I had just one thing to say
Before my last breath fades away.
Keep your head way up in the clouds
And never let them get you down!
Never let them get you down!

Keep hoping and dreaming and you will soar!
With a little faith and love.
You will soar!

If I had just two words to say,
To explain my life away.
I could say ups and downs,
Because, I always kept my defense down.
Always kept my defense down!

Keep hoping and dreaming and you…will soar!
With a little faith and love.
You will soar!

I wish I could take you away
To a place of mystery
We will travel there on sands of time
To listen…to fairy tales
We will listen to fairy tales
We will listen, listen, listen

Keep hoping and dreaming and you…will soar
With a little faith and Love.
You will soar!
You will soar!

Why are we overcome with fear?
What if I told you that fear isn't real.
Why are we overcome with death?
What if I told you my friends your doubt
You could live without!

There is a question I want to understand
Why can't everyone tell the truth and learn to love again

Do you know…what it feels like to be broken and used
Scared and confused
Yes I know

One more question…I know time is dear
Is what the world speaks of love really real?
The answers not of this world but very clear
Look above to find love and you found eternal life

Street corner preachers you've heard before
Friendly advice just gets thrown out the door
There is a question that I want to understand
Why can't everyone tell the truth…and learn to love again

Do you know…what it feels like to be broken and used?
Scared and confused
Yes I know…what it feels like to be broken and used
Scared and confused
Yes I know
