Better Nation, New Generation
When we go walkin' down the street
and all we ever see is anger and pain,
And sex and Drugs run through our lives
just like blood flows right through our veins,
What must we do to make a difference?
What must we do to change this scene?
We must stand and hold our heads up high!
This World is worse than it's ever been.
Better Nation.....
With all the hate that runs around the world,
and of all the blood that's spilled,
We won't let any more innocent
people die, or see young ones killed.
This Generation will become the one
to turn the tides of a better change.
In this crazy story-book of life,
we'll be the ones to turn the page.
New Generation.....
It's up to us this New Generation,
to be the ones to fight this War,
To make the change and stand for something, and
Fight the Fight because we are...
(chorus)
We're part of a Better Nation!
We're all part of a New Generation!
When all the world is Dark and Dreary,
and nothing ever seems to change,
We'll all shout with Glorious Fury:
"We'll never let it be the same!
We must all remain the stronger!
We won't take this any longer!
'Cause we're part of a Better Nation!
We're all part of a New Generation!"
And I know, that when we are
Gonna be, long away from home,
The Journey, won't seem far 'cause
There's one thing, we've always known:
(repeat chorus)
We're part of a Better Nation, we're all part of a New Generation!
We're part of a New Generation.....
Could all this Be Real?
I've got my pen and my paper
I don't know what to say.
It's come to the close
Of another day.
I've got my head in my hands
A tear falls to the floor
I don't think that I've felt
Like this before.
Why does it have to be this way?
Why do I have to feel this way?
I did nothing wrong.
But I hurt Today.
chorus
The Tides and the Winds
Have carried me away
And my Heart wants to weep
As the Light dies away
I've never known such Heartache
I don't know why I feel
Such pain without reason.
Could all this be real?
This is a strange thing for me
I don't know why I cry
No, I don't feel ashamed
But, I wonder why
I've gotta feel all this Pain
When it's not deserved
Is there a lesson
I need to learn?
The storm keeps blowin' so stron
And my heart songs a mournful song
Why does it hurt so much
When I did nothing wrong.
(repeat Chorus)
Why do I feel this way?
My Heart has nothing to say!
When will this all be over?
When will I see
A Brighter day?
(repeat chorus x2)
DRIVEN
Between the lines:
I'll be pushing you away.
I'll win this time,
There's nothing you can say!
No matter what
It takes, I'm gonna try.
Say what you want;
I'm gonna say good-bye!
You were never there
When I needed you the most!
It may not be fair,
But I feel the urge to boast.
There's nothing stopping me,
Now I'm gonna cross the line!
Just get away from me
I won't give in this time!
(chorus)
I'm on my way! I'm Driven!
For now, I'm takin', sick of givin'!
My Heart is beating fast,
I hear the screamin' roar!
I see the Finish-Line!
I'm driven like never before!
I'm Driven!
The Win is in my sight.
Look, and you'll see I'm gone!
I'm gonna win this fight,
And I'm winning from now on!
I've been pushed before,
But that push has come to shove.
My foot is on the floor.
This is it, I've had enough!
(repeat chorus)
This time, I'm gonna win it!
If you wanna, try and take it!
I'm here waiting, come and get it!
Try all you want, you won't make it!
(repeat chorus)
I'm Driven!
I'll be there
You thought that I should never try
To reach above and touch the sky.
You said it'd never happen...
Well, I ask you now, who are you to say
If I'll ever make it there one day?
I say it's gonna happen...
I'll be there on the Grammy stage!
I'll be there, next to Jimmy Page!
I'll be there, and then you will see:
I could become what you thought
I could never be!
The time will come for me to show
You something about me you didn't know.
I will get there one day...
Not long from now I'll show the world
How I can tear-up this crazy crowd!
I told you it would happen...
I'm here now! I've made my way!
I'm here now, not just 'someday'!
I'm here now, and what do you think
About me now that I hang out
With Creed and Blink?
And you thought I'd never get there!
Well, look at me now and what do you see?
You must not think it very fair
For me to be singin'
This crazy melody!
I'm here now, on the Grammy stage!
I'm here now, next to Jimmy Page!
I'm here now, and now you see:
I have become what you thought
I could never be!
I'm here now, take a look at me!
I'm here now and what do you see?
I'm here now! Like I said before:
"I'll be there...
Going on World Tour!"
LEAVE YOU DOWN
Life's many roads can turn you around
And take you where you don't wanna go.
And sometimes a friend can never be found
When you reach out for someone,
There's no-one you know.
They may desert you.
They may push you away.
But I'll never leave you.
(chorus)
And I know that when this world
Comes crashing down.
If you'll just look up, you'll see
I'm right here
I'm with you now.
And I will never leave you down.
And I will never leave you lonely.
No, I won't leave you on your own.
When you feel all alone,
(When all hope seems lost ----2nd chorus)
I won't leave you down!
It's a path that you've never known
You don't even know where you may be.
It may seem just like you're on your own,
But, I'm right here beside you.
When it seems too hard
Don't give up on me.
I'm right here to help you
Get where you need to be.
(2nd Chorus)
Let Me Catch You
I see you there standing in the rain
Trying your best to hide your pain
But I can see your hurting.
I see the tears that fall upon your face
And how you wish you were in some other place.
From me, the rain can never hide your tears
And I wish I could quiet all your fears.
I know of your sorrow.
I know how you don't know if
You'll ever make it to tomorrow.
(chorus)
I wanna be the one to save your day.
I wanna be the one to make your night;
To be the one to hold you tight, and
Tell you everything will be okay.
I wanna be the one to win your Heart;
To dry your tears when they've begun to start.
I wanna be the one to show you,
I wanna be the one to know you,
I wanna be the one you've always dreamed of.
It's so hard for me to stand aside,
To watch you feel the pain you try to hide
When I want to save you.
But, I'm here now, can I come save the day?
Can I be your Hero in any way?
Just reach out, and I'll catch you when you fall.
I'll make sure your heart won't break at all.
I can take you away to another place
Where the sun can shine on your smiling face
If you'll just let me take you.
(repeat chorus)
Dry your tears, and lift up your eyes.
I'll show you there really are blue skies.
I'll be right here beside you,
I'll be right here to catch you.
(repeat chorus x2)
My Bleeding
Regret
Here I stand
on the edge,
I can see the
city skyline
And feel the
Ocean breeze
It blows whisperings
of your name
And the memory
of how we used to be.
From up here
the sky is clearer
And my tears
fall like a river,
And now I don’t
know anymore
Of what I’m
supposed to do,
I can never
be with you
And now nothing
but time can heal me.
(Chorus)
I’ll
stand by and watch from sidelines,
With you always
in my mind.
I will always
be here to save you
But I can never
be there with you
So all I can do is let you
Hear the ache in my heartbeat,
My bleeding regret.
Just when I
think I feel stronger,
That I’m
ready to stand my ground,
You get crammed
Right down
my throat and I choke.
I get knocked
below with the thought of you.
Just for once,
I wish I could scream this all
Out loud to
your face,
I could never.
I’ll
just pick myself up again
And pat the
dust from off myself
And rub an
aching bruise.
I’ll
soon climb back up again
Back to the
top where I belong.
I’ll
be that Hero that I was before.
And no matter
how much I fight,
No matter how
much I fall
No matter what
life will entail,
You'll always
be
My Bleeding
Regret.
This Rose, From Me
This Rose must speak where my eloquence fails
The words of my heart
and all that entails
What can I offer except for my time
And a wish that your heart would be only with mine?
This
is the start of a love pure as gold
The warmth of your embrace replaces this cold
Alone in the darkness there is still
light
The light of your voice speaking soft in the night
This rose must say what I never can
And tell you
that you are the one
In your loving arms I want to be
I want to love you for eternity
And to remember that it
had begun
With this Rose, from me
When I first saw you, in you I saw me
Your eyes showed me what true beauty
could be
All of my life Ive needed something more
Ive needed someone I could be there for
This rose must say
what I never can
And tell you that you are the one
In your loving arms I want to be
I want to love you for eternity
And to remember that it had begun
With this Rose, from me
You know your gonna miss me
As the snow falls around I see you standing with him there
Holding
him close without any care.
But I know of a certain thought which crosses your mind
As you think of me, the one who
you left behind.
I wont try to stop you, but I can see it in your eyes
That you know youre gonna miss me
No
matter what he does or what he says,
You will miss the things I did and the things I said.
You know that youre
gonna miss me, and
You know that Ill always be here
You know he wont be there for long,
Thats why you know
That
youre gonna miss me.
You will hear our song and it will remind you of us, of me.
You will remember me and how
happy you were.
That you could never be as happy with him as you were with me
You dont see it now, but you will eventually.
You know that youre gonna miss me, and
You know that Ill always be here
You know he wont be there for long,
Thats why you know
That youre gonna miss me.
When he leaves you and you are left all alone, what will you
do?
I know that you know that you will miss me.
Because he wont miss you then, as I do now.
Will you stay here
and be as happy as you know you would be?
Or be sad with him while still in love with me?
He will say something
that will remind you of me and you will see
And by then youll know that you miss me.
You know that youre gonna
miss me, and
You know that Ill always be here
You know he wont be there for long,
Thats why you know
That
youre gonna miss me.
Thats why you know
That youre gonna miss me
