See the boy turn quickly into a man
Wants to do what's right the best that he can
His strength is something that we've never seen before
Fighting the unknown an unwinnable war
Created to stand the test of time
A soldier who could get behind enemy lines
He believes that peace will find a way
Where is Captain America to save today
See the ground littered with all our broken dreams
Can we all step aside and wipe the slate clean
We keep reliving a history of violence
Is there a sign of hope on the horizon
Created to stand the test of time
A soldier who could get behind enemy lines
He believes that peace will find a way
Where is Captain America to save today
Perseverance fighting for the good of us all
For all God's creatures both big and small
He can help bring peace, come on light the way
Captain America come save today
Created to stand the test of time
A soldier who could get behind enemy lines
He believes that peace will find a way
Where is Captain America to save today
Created to stand the test of time
A soldier who could get behind enemy lines
He believes that peace will find a way
Where is Captain America to save today

Heartbeat

There's a firestorm in your eyes
nowhere to hide
I'm out of sight
You've been looking for a fight
I'm on a dead end street
you’re like a blinding light
Oh and I'm caught up in your riptide
feels like I'm being buried alive
Oh I'm a hostage to your greed
there’s defeat in every heartbeat
Each new day feels like the night
I choke for air in your web of lies
I am running out of time your knife cuts deep
I’ve been paralyzed
Oh and I'm caught up in your riptide
feels like I'm being buried alive
Oh I'm a hostage to your greed
there’s defeat in every heartbeat
I've got to fight through the fear
things are not how they appear
I've got the truth on my side
You are not winning the war
cause I can take this and more
and I will make things right again
You make promises you can't keep
sow what you reap
your words are cheap
I am fighting for my life
it ends here won’t make the same mistake twice
Oh and I'm caught up in your riptide
feels like I'm being buried alive
Oh I'm a hostage to your greed
there’s defeat in every heartbeat
We've got to fight through the fear
things are not how they appear
We've got the truth on our side
You are not winning the war
cause we can take this and more
and we will make things right again
Oh and I'm caught up in your riptide
feels like I'm being buried alive
Oh I'm a hostage to your greed
there’s defeat in every heartbeat
Oh and I'm caught up in your riptide
feels like I'm being buried alive
Oh I'm a hostage to your greed
there’s defeat in every heartbeat

Can't Let You Go
03:31

Could you love me like you did before
Cause I'm ready to come back home
We've got a long history together
I've got to put my love for you on the record
I'm not ready to say it's over forever
I'm not ready to let you go
Not ready to say it's over forever
Not ready to let you go
No I love you more now than ever
Not ready to let you go, can't let you go
Can't let you go
There's still time for us to alter the course
No, we both know that nothing, nothing is written in stone
Change isn't always for the better
Destiny brought us both back together
I'm not ready to say it's over forever
I'm not ready to let you go
Not ready to say it's over forever
Not ready to let you go
No I love you more now than ever
Not ready to let you go
Can't let you go, no, cause you, you feed my soul
Can't let you go, oh no, don’t make me a faceless ghost
Not ready to say it's over forever
Not ready to let you go
No I love you more now than ever
Not ready to let you go
Can't let you go, can’t let you go
Can't let you go, can’t let you go
You, you feed my soul
No I can’t let you go
Not ready to say it's over forever
Not ready to let you go
No I love you more now than ever
Not ready to let you go, can't let you go

Addicted to you
Yeah I anticipate your every move - (your every move)
I'm easily blinded, but I don't trust myself with you - (don’t trust myself with you)
I take a leap of faith
I’m hungry for you -(I’m hungry for you)
My body aches
Just one touch, yes its worth the risk (the risk)
Light it up, feel the heat
Burning in your soul, I lose all control
Light it up, I’m all that you desire
Fuel the fire take me higher and higher,
Light it up, come on and take me there
Light it up, my secret love affair
Light it up, come on and light it up - (Let’s light it up)
Fire up your dreams
Let your imagination run wild- (Run wild)
We can take it anywhere
Push it over the edge- (Go over the edge)
Wrap your love around me
Set my inner demons free - (Come set me free)
An unguarded moment
We are beauty and the beast - (The beast)
Light it up, feel the heat
Burning in your soul, I lose all control
Light it up, I’m all that you desire
Fuel the fire take me higher and higher,
Light it up, come on and take me there
Light it up, my secret love affair
Light it up, come on and light it up - (Let’s light it up)
Light it up, feel the heat
Burning in your soul, I lose all control
Light it up, I’m all that you desire
Fuel the fire take me higher and higher,
Light it up, come on and take me there
Light it up, my secret love affair (Secret love affair)
Light it up, come on and light it up - (Let’s light it up)
Addicted to you……

I Am Who I Am
04:03

Keep telling myself that I need to let it go
Keep telling myself things that I should already know
Keep telling myself this doesn’t have to be the end
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up and start again
All I ever wanted was to be me
To follow my dreams and be everything I thought I could be
What gave you the right to take that away from me
Tired of fighting trying to make you understand
I am who I am
Keep telling myself that tomorrow is another day
Keep telling myself I have the strength to walk away
Can’t mistake it, I can no longer take it
No one has won
I’m free
I’m free
I’m free to be me
All I ever wanted was to be me
To follow my dreams and be everything I thought I could be
What gave you the right to take that away from me
Tired of fighting trying to make you understand
I am who I am
I am who I am - no matter what they say
I am who I am - no one can take that away
I am who I am - no matter what they say
I am who I am - no one can take that away
All I ever wanted was to be me
To follow my dreams and be everything I thought I could be
What gave you the right to take that away from me
Tired of fighting trying to make you understand
I am who I am

Something buried deep inside of me
Feelings I’ve kept hidden for so long
Drawn together by fate
a chance encounter running late
changed direction, we collide
face to face, side by side
Heartbeat racing, I come Alive
Everything changes, when I look into your eyes
The world stands still, I feel you breath
Desire and the thrill to have you here with me
You’ve got a hold on me
Don’t know what you see
Bring out the best in me
Didn’t think I’d ever be free
I want to walk hand in hand
and whisper your name
I want to make you mine
no more foolish games
You’ve got a hold on me (You’ve got a hold on me)
You’ve got a hold on me
Lay with me in the moonlight
I have no more tears
being with you has erased all the pain and fears
Hear my thoughts
Can you read my mind
I’ve got to have you forever
where have you been all my life
Heartbeat racing, I come alive
Everything changes, when I look into your eyes
The world stands still, I feel you breath
the desire and the thrill to have you here with me
You’ve got a hold on me
Don’t know what you see
bring out the best in me
Didn’t think I’d ever be free
I want to walk hand in hand
and whisper your name
I want to make you mine
no more foolish games
You’ve got a hold on me
You’ve got a hold on me
Heartbeat racing I come alive, you’ve got a hold on me
HMMMM where have you been

Defenseless

A burning love, you're everything I've ever dreamed of
I hate myself for wanting you
Like a powerful drug, I can't seem to get enough
A foolish dream that won't come true
My heart pounds in desperation illuminating my soul to its core
Craving that this vision will last forever - forever more
I'm defenseless, the object of your affection
I’m defenseless, just a heartbeat away from heaven
Another memory trapped in time linked together only in our minds
I'm totally naked....and defenseless
Fear of the unknown tired of hiding in this mortal life
Let’s cut through the illusion
Lost touch with reality, shadows surround me
Was it just my imagination
My heart pounds in desperation illuminating my soul to its core
Craving that this vision will last forever..forever more
I'm defenseless, the object of your affection
I’m defenseless, just a heartbeat away from Heaven
Another memory trapped in time linked together only in our minds
I'm totally naked....and defenseless
Another memory invades my mind, I'm frozen in time
Why can’t you give me a sign, cause I ’m ready to cross the line
My heart pounds in desperation illuminating my soul to its core
Craving that this vision will last forever
I'm defenseless, the object of your affection
I’m defenseless, just a heartbeat away from Heaven
Another memory trapped in time linked together only in our minds
I'm totally naked....and defenseless

I'm floating in an everlasting dream
Surrounded by a misty lavender haze
Losing my mind deep in your body
I uncover everything about you
Near or far we are closer together
Love me now, can you love me forever
Endless nights, our love shines bright
Everything I do, I do for you
Heaven in disguise, I come alive
Everything I do, I do for you
I get lost in your brilliant blue eyes
Each day, I sink deeper under your spell
A second chance at love, don't give up
we're just a heartbeat away from paradise
Near or far we are closer together
Love me now, can you love me forever
Endless nights, our love shines bright
Everything I do, I do for you
Heaven in disguise, I come alive
Everything I do, I do for you
Take a leap of faith, endless dreams
Hearts full of hope, there’s nothing in between
Come on and ride the wave, it’s a chance that we've got to take
Near or far we are closer together
Love me now, will you love me forever
Endless nights, our love shines bright
Everything I do, I do for you
Heaven in disguise, I come alive
Everything I do, I do for you
Oh..
Endless nights, our love shines bright
Everything I do, I do for you
Heaven in disguise, I come alive
Everything I do, I do for you

Lost in L.A.
02:55

Driving down the highway got the top down on the car
Can you hear the radio blasting 30 Seconds to Mars
Not sure where I'm going, but I hope you'll meet me there
Never made it out to the bay
Come on let's get lost in L.A.
Sights and sounds, it all took my breath away
Come on let's get lost in L.A.
As the sun fades to grey, it was a picture perfect day
Come on let's get lost, let's get lost in L.A.
Met some friends at the Whiskey a Go Go,
Drove past a Beverly Hills sign, took a picture, captured it in time,
Not sure where I'm going hope you'll meet me there
Never made it out to the bay
Come on let's get lost in L.A.
Sights and sounds, it all took my breath away
Come on let's get lost in L.A.
As the sun fades to grey, it was a picture perfect day
Come on let's get lost, let's get lost in L.A.
Let's take the Redline a one-way ticket see the Hollywood sign
It's an uphill climb, another memory trapped in time
It’s an uphill climb, another memory trapped in time
Never made it out to the bay
Come on let's get lost in L.A.
Sights and sounds, it all took my breath away
Come on let's get lost in L.A.
As the sun fades to grey, it was a picture perfect day
Come on let's get lost, let's get lost in L.A.

Lost in my head
keep thinking about what you've done
It's really hard to smile could you have done this to your own child
And I don’t even know why I have no words to describe
How this makes me feel, but I want you to know that I've got the will of steel
I’m not falling to pieces, though I’m battered and bruised
I’m not falling to pieces or broken and used
I’m not falling to pieces, not dazed or confused
I’m not falling to pieces over you
Letting go, of all of this hate I feel inside
Let me tell you, no I won’t, I won’t let you contain my pride
I won't let this define me we've come too far to just give in
Ignorance is the enemy of peace no I’m not gonna let you win
I’m not falling to pieces, though I’m battered and bruised
I’m not falling to pieces or broken and used
I’m not falling to pieces, not dazed or confused
I’m not falling to pieces over you
Bullets and flames you think you own this game
Fear of our voices we use as instruments of change
I will keep fighting through it all
I will keep breaking down these walls
I’m not falling to pieces, I’m not battered and bruised
I’m not falling to pieces or broken and used
I’m not falling to pieces or dazed and confused
I’m not falling to pieces over you
I’m not falling to pieces, I’m not battered and bruised
I’m not falling to pieces or broken and used
I’m not falling to pieces or dazed and confused
I’m not falling to pieces over you

Picture Yourself (Remix)

Picture yourself staring out a window, as far as eyes can see
Picture yourself standing in a meadow, wildflowers blowing in the breeze
And if I fall before I crawl, its meant to be
Standing tall through it all cause I believe
Picture yourself, sitting in the sunlight, watching the birds fly by
Picture yourself hugging a child wiping a tear from their eye
And if I fall before I crawl, its meant to be
Standing tall through it all cause I believe
Picture a new beginning where time stands still
Picture yourself winning, where I can’t, becomes I will
Picture yourself floating up to heaven a million angels by your side
Picture yourself looking back on your life and thinking, what a wonderful ride
And if I fall before I crawl, it’s meant to be
Standing tall through it all cause I believe
And if I fall before I crawl, it’s meant to be
Standing tall through it all cause I believe
What a wonderful life

Stay

There's a knock at the door I see your smiling face
My heart skips a beat, then begins to pick up the pace
Against my better judgment, I let you in
You look at me with that boyish grin
One touch of your lips and I'm already losing my grip
With just one look, you've got me hypnotized
A simple touch and I'm completely paralyzed
I know this isn't right and I should just walk away
But my heart is aching and all I say is hey, why don't you stay
Scanning the room, you find the mini bar
Loosen your tie, oh my, you're an exquisite work of art
Pull me close and we begin to sway
Never thought I could feel this way
Now we're dancing under the stars and I'm folding like a house of cards
With just one look, you've got me hypnotized
A simple touch and I'm completely paralyzed
I know this isn't right and I should just walk away
But my heart is aching and all I say is hey, why don't you
Foolish heart, I'm guilty as charged
This is just between you, me, and the stars
Minutes turn to hours, night turns into day
My heart's aching and I say- why don't you stay
With just one look, you've got me hypnotized
A simple touch and I'm completely paralyzed
I know this isn't right, and I should just walk away
But my heart is aching and all I can say is why don't you stay

Call My Name
04:43
|

|
I'm not sure I'll ever understand the way you feel inside
All the chaos floating in your head just makes you want to run and hide
I want you to know I'll always be here for you
Fighting for the brilliant light inside
All you have to do is just call my name when the demons are along for the ride
Call my name... and I’ll do everything I can to help ease the pain
Call my name.. doesn't matter if you're in the eye of a hurricane
Shout it from the mountains, across the seas, I will come to you and we’ll get down on our knees, together we will pray until we make the demons go away.
Promise me that you believe all your dreams can come true
And It's ok if everything's not perfect cause you've got nothing to prove
And When you're feeling like the world is on your shoulders and your ready to crumble under the strain
All you have to do is just call my name and I’ll give you all my strength so you can move on again
Call my name... and I’ll do everything I can to help ease the pain
Call my name.. doesn't matter if you're in the eye of a hurricane
Shout it from the mountains, across the seas, I will come to you and we’ll get down on our knees, together we will pray until we make the demons go away.
Call my name, call my name, just call my name, call my name,
all you have to do, yeah all you have to do, is call my name…call my name, call my name, just call my name, call my name, all you have to do, yeah all you have to do, is call my name…call my name, just call my name, call my name,
I’ll come running right to you, I'll come running, just call my name

Rise

I'm done asking for your permission
I'm tired of hearing what I can and can't do
I'm done keeping things all to myself, I’m ready to speak up
It starts with me and it starts now
No longer a lone voice standing in the crowd
Time to rise up and be counted
Time to stand up, stand up and be heard
I'm gonna make you see me
I'm gonna make you hear me
It's time to rise
No more hiding in the shadows
It's time to level the playing field
I’m a warrior, I’ve got nerves of steel
I’m done walking through your minefields
It starts with me and it starts now
Ohhh no longer a lone voice standing in the crowd
Time to rise up and be counted
Time to stand up, stand up and be heard
I'm gonna make you see me
I'm gonna make you hear me
It's time to rise
Everybody come together, time to stand as one
Hand in hand together we stand, oh we've only just begun
It starts with us and it starts now
Ohhhhh time to rise up and be counted
Time to stand up, stand up and be heard
We’re gonna make you see us
We’re gonna make you hear us
It's time to rise
Together, we rise, rise up and be counted
Together, we stand, stand up and be heard
It’s time to rise
