[No lyrics]

The earth is shaking under seige
Every breath will meet its fate
Still we hunger for our moment of freedom
Even though the hours late

Oh yeah
I find hope
And it gives me rest
I find hope
In a beating chest
I find hope
In what eyes don't see
I find hope
In your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this Great Divide
This Great Divide

When every eye is on the fortune
It can only breed contempt
They say blood is thicker than oceans
Still we box our brothers in

I find hope
And it gives me rest
I find hope
In a beating chest
I find hope
In what eyes don't see
I find hope
In your hate for me
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this Great Divide

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

And we're gone

And we're gone
And we're holding on
we're holding on, holding on

I find hope
And it gives me rest
I find hope
In a beating chest
I find hope
In what eyes don't see
I find hope
In your hate for me

Have no fear
Have no fear
Have no fear
Whoa
Have no fear when the waters rise
We can conquer this Great Divide
This Great Divide

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

There's a down town corner
People down town know
And a back beat rhythm on the radio
And the girl who listens to a young man's song
On the block I live on
In the place I'm from

Well the young man sitting
On the dock of the bay
He took a long-term trip on a first class plane
Now the whole world listens
To that one man's song
On the block I live on
In the place I'm from

Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll

Well the man in black sits
On a screened in porch
Making birthday wishes, 71 almost
You can hear him singing chariot
Swing low
On the block I live on
In the place I know

Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll

Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll

Na na na na na na, I've been there before
Na na na na na na,I've been there before
Na na na na na na, I've been there before
Na na na na na na, I've been there before

When you can't get through it
You can listen to it
With a na na na na
Well I've been there before

When you can't get through it
You can listen to it
With a na na na na
Well I've been there before

Georgia, you know that you've been on my mind
Georgia, we both learned to compromise
I'll be there for you
When everybody's coming unglued
I'll be there for you
I won't say you have to choose

I don't want to let you go
And I don't want to lose you slowly
I just want to let you know
That it's only just a little back and forth lately

Georgia, I'll be chasing you the rest of my life
Georgia, welcome to the roller coaster ride
When I come to you
I know that you'll help get through
I'll be there for you
We both know we could never choose

I don't want to let you go
And I don't want to lose you slowly
I just want to let you know
That it's only just a little back and forth
It's only just a little back and forth lately

You carry it like a heavyweight champ
It's hard to say I can't but I know I can't be right there standing

I don't want to let you go
And I don't want to lose you slowly
I just want to let you know
That it's only just a little back and forth lately

I could never let go
After all that you've been to me
I just want to let you know
That's it's only just a little back and forth
it's only just a little back and forth lately

A little back and forth lately
A little back and forth

She wakes and takes her place in line
And never bothers asking why the mirror sheds no light at all
The days turn into lesser days until there's only night
The light it wouldn't help she's too far gone

Her time is up it's five o'clock
It never stops

And she says please, and she says please
And she says please, watch over me

I watch her slowly make her way
Down on a road she shouldn't take
She always ends where she began

The years go by, they are adding up
She clicks her heels but she's still stuck
She giving in but won't give up she'll never stop

And she says please, and she says please
And she says please, watch over me
And she says please, and she is
On her knees and she begs and pleads

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

She counts the time 'til her heart breaks
Just waiting for her next mistake

And she says please, and she says please
And she says please, watch over me

On her knees and she begs and she pleads she says
Please, and she says please and she says Please watch over me

She counts the time 'til her heart breaks
Just waiting for her next mistake
Don't give up I know you've stopped believing
And you're down and you're begging you're pleading
Don't give up cause you're not too far gone

Waiting up all night
There's something on my mind
I need to tell you why
He's playing you for a fool
He's fooling 'round on you
And I just lost my cool
Feeling so sad

Too bad for the running man
'Cause he waits too long so he can't come back again
Too bad for the running man
'Cause I'm right here waiting to make that girl forget
Too bad for the running man goodbye

Life isn't what it seems
Or something in a dream
That's not quite what I mean
I need to say goodbye
You think I didn't try
I'm not that other guy
I'm feeling so sad

Too bad for the running man
'Cause he waits too long so he can't come back again
Too bad for the running man
'Cause I'm right here waiting to help that girl forget
Too bad for the running man goodbye

Too bad for the running man
'Cause he waits too long so he can't come back again
Too bad for the running man
'Cause I'm right here waiting to help that girl forget
Too bad for the running man goodbye

It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad
It's too bad
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad for the running man
It's too bad
It's too bad

We sit secure in time-honored traditions made
Never wondering where or when the sickle may come
If we don't seek our knowledge to be greater men
When the rain starts falling gonna drown before we get our feet wet

We build our ivory towers to protect us from the flood
A fleet of vessels made of wood so they won't rust
But can we see the bottom of the bottle when we start to drink?
There's fire on the mountain fire and it's coming our way

Can we pick the pieces up
We're mending Babylon
Tryin' to right the wrong
Can we pick the pieces up

Live learn life love die dust gone

There's fire on the mountain

Can we pick the pieces up
We're mending Babylon
Tryin' to right the wrong
Can we pick the pieces up

Live learn life love die dust gone

I sit here by myself
Just staring into space
I thought I knew you well
Well who can ever say

It seems I've spent so long
I can't define my right from wrong

One more for the night
One more for the pain and
One more, long goodbye
And one shot to the brain
And one more takes the knife
And one more takes the train
Who do I name today

A dream of better days
Was long gone by the way
Is there a better place
Well who can ever say

It seems I've spent so long
I can't define my right from wrong

One more for the night
One more for the pain and
One more, long goodbye
And one shot to the brain
And one more takes the knife
And one more takes the train
Who do I name today
Who do I blame today

Nothing's over 'til it's over
And if it's over I don't
Want to hear it
Look into my eyes I told her
Holding onto what is gone won't heal it

It seems I've spent so long I can't
Define my right from wrong

One more for the night
One more for the pain and
One more, long goodbye
And one shot to the brain
And one more takes the knife
And one more takes the train
Who do I name today
Who do I blame today

I'm blind with eyes wide open
My body's tired and broken
I want a taste of something, that doesn't leave me dry
This hope for answered questions
As rare as true conviction
I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight
Who can tell me why

Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky waiting for me

I've seen the main attraction
I've felt the moment's passion
I won't be no soap box teacher, just taking your time
Just taking your time
Who can tell me why

Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
A blue sky

Everywhere I go, it feels like I'm always searching for something
'Til I know for sure, I'll be right here waiting for something
More, more, for something more, for something more

Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky out there to see
Somewhere there's a blue sky waiting
Everybody's looking for a blue sky
Searching for an answer on a satellite
I know that there's got to be a blue sky waiting for me
A blue sky

I am, taking a chance
Walking with my laces loose
Wrapped up, taking the maze
That everybody's running through
I'm sick of, black tie
Nickel and dime
We're going through the roof

I'm not a wise man
But I see the haze
And this is what I'm gonna do

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo

There's a fine line
You walk everyday
'Cause somebody told you to
A white lie
You can't erase
Now you're gonna have to choose

You know a blind man
Won't show the way
But he can tell you
What it's coming to

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ni ni ni now
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni
Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now

I'm not a wise man
But I see the haze
And this is what I'm gonna do

Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo
Tearing it down
Tearing it down
Whoo, whoo

Are you falling asleep at the wheel
Maybe there is a feeling, you've been brushing off
Asking reason, what's left for me here
Well he's all out of answers
You're not out of luck

I've got this something
That's been going round
I've got this something
You don't know it
But you need it
I've got this something
That's been going round
I've got this something
You don't know it
But you need it now

Are you hungry?
Won't you come get your fill
We could put this thing in motion
If you'd stop acting tough
Superstar you sit up high on your hill
I know why you're running
Only you know what you've lost

I've got this something
That's been going round
I've got this something
You don't know it
But you need it
I've got this something
That's been going round
I've got this something
You don't know it
But you need it now

When the sun goes down
It's here waiting
It is still right here for you now
And when the sun comes out
It's still waiting
It is still right here for you now

Doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo

I've got this something
That's been going round
I've got this something
You don't know it
But you need it

I've got this something
I've got this something, yeah
I've got this something
You don't know it
But you need it
Yeah yeah, you don't know it
Yeah, you don't know it
But you need it
I've got this something
I've got this something, yeah
You need this something now

You say you want to kill yourself
It might make it just a little bit easier
You think you're the only one who hurts
Try looking just a little bit harder
I don't know why you're holding on
To the damage that's been done

'Cause you've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on trying to change your conclusion
But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting life

Don't disguise your emptiness
By placing blame on me and everyone else
Protected by your safety nets
But you can't put the heart of your fears at rest
All I feel is deep regret for what you have become

You've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on trying to clear the confusion
But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting
I keep on trying 'cause you're busy wasting life

You're busy wasting life
You're busy wasting life

I cannot go on this way
I bring no consolation for you and your pain
No one else can change your fate
You'll have to do it for yourself

You've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on trying to clear the confusion
But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion
I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting life

You're busy wasting life,
You're busy wasting life, you've got me wrapped up
You're busy wasting life, 'cause I keep on trying
You're busy wasting life, you've got me wrapped up
You're busy wasting life, and I keep on dying

Deep in a wood
Where nothing is seen
A tightrope is strung to his heel
And high on the walk
He's down on one knee
He waits for the slow of the breeze

Ooh, wow
Look at him now on his feet
High up in the sky

And every moment, extends endlessly
If feels as though time isn't moving
And every second, hold breath not to breathe
And watch as he moves to the beat

Well down on the floor
I watch from my seat
I watch as he sways with the trees
And slowly he moves
But so elegantly
I'm all on the edge of my seat

On the tightrope everything's bare
All that there is from here to there
On the tightrope the goal is quite clear
Don't lose yourself in your

Fear

Everyone waits on a walk
Some are long and some small
But all of them tall
And everyone must make a choice
Will I go for it all, and possibly fall
The tightrope is thin
I could possibly win on the walk

Well high on the walk
The tightrope it bends
And nobody knows where it ends
To win or to lose you're all on your own
'Cause everyone must be alone

On the tightrope everything's bare
All that there is from here to there
On the tightrope the goal is quite clear
Don't lose yourself in your fear

On the third floor of the hotel there's a pregnant Flamenco dancer
In the bathtub with a razor and she's planning her great escape

In a way she's giving up on herself, whoooa
Either way she's giving up some of herself, whoooa

In the backyard there's a small boy playing soldiers with an army ranger
In the front room there's a mother to the small boy,
She's a total stranger
In a way she's giving up on herself, whoooa
Either way she's giving up some of herself, whoooa

Love is only what you give up
Life isn't what you get
Love won't always fill your cup
But life's when you start to live
Life's when you learn to give

When I leave here I'm going to go to the small boy
And that flamenco dancer
Leave the guitar and the spotlight I'm gonna go home to my biggest fans

In a way I'm giving up some of myself, whoooa
In a way isn't that what it's about, whoooa

In a way I'm giving up some of myself, whoooa
Whoooa, oh whoooa, oh whoooa
Isn't that what it's about

Oh, whoooa, oh, whoooa, whoooa, no no noo
Oh, whoooa, oh, whoooa,

Isn't that what it's about
Oh, whoooa, oh, whoooa
Isn't that what it's about

Gone astray we find ourselves
Right on the edge of falling apart
Don't you see it's in our ways
When something's done wrong, we just go along
It lights a fire inside of me
Just show we when this living stops

I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I could choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

Cut to the cord start to breathe
We're living life at frantic speed
Don the suit and ride the steed
With these shackles on you won't come to harm
I could be the worst of these
A sinking ship on the open sea

I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I could choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

All on my own I'm trying
To change how you see and what you believe
To fight fire with fire and live eye for eye
We'll all end up blind and burning
Burning, burning

Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
