1. TRAIN

Put me on a train mama
This place just ain't the same no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today

I don't wanna watch the world spinnin'
I wanna be spinnin' with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

'cause I got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's the chance that I take
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Put me on a train mama
'cause I can't take this pain no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

And there's a world that's out there waiting
And I know that it's the chance I'm taking
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

'cause I got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's the chance that I take
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

God knows how long I'll be gone
But maybe one day a train will bring me home

Put me on a train mama
Put me on a train mama
Oh put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

'cause I got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that I'm gonna be fine

Lord I know it's the chance that I take
But I know you've forgiven the mistakes that I've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

Oh, put me on the train
'cause I'm leavin' today


2. CITIZEN / SOLDIER

Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights,
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself,
When that moment finally comes,
I'll be there to help.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here.
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.

When there are people crying in the streets,
When they're starving for a meal to eat,
When they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here underneath my wing,
You can rest your head.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there...

There... there... there...

Hope and pray that you'll never need me,
But rest assured I will not let you down.
I'll walk beside you but you may not see me,
The strongest among you may not wear a crown.

On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care,
I'll be right here!
On that day when you don't have the strength for the burden you bear,
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
(Citizen soldiers)
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.


3. IT'S NOT MY TIME

Looking back at the beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me loving all of our friends
Living life like an ocean
But now the current's only pulling me down
It's getting harder too breath
It won't be to long and I will be going under
Can you save me from this?

Cause it's not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won't go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh but I'm taking them back
Cause all of this time I've just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friends this life we live, it's not what we have
It's what we believe in

Cause it's not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me but it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it's not my time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won't go
I won't go

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But it's not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it's not my time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now it's gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But I won't go
No I won't go down
Yeah


4. LET ME BE MYSELF

I guess i just got lost
Bein' someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday

Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself

I'll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I'll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It's time to make my way
Into the world i knew
Take back all of these times
That i gave in to you

Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
And let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself

That's all i've ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me

Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you one time... oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me


5. PAGES

What happens to a man when
He spills his heart on a page and
He watches words flow away then
His feelings lie on the page alone
There waiting
For someone who cares to read them
To open their eyes to see them
To see if they can make his thoughts their own
To find out that maybe your life's not perfect
Maybe it's not worth what he gives away

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain, watch me fall apart

What happens to a soul when
It's trapped inside his emotions
And all of these words he's spoken
They bind him to the life he's left behind
And every new step he takes
He knows that he might not make it
To all of these dreams that he has yet to find

Maybe your life's not perfect
But maybe it's not worth what he gives away
You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain and watch me fall apart

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding
So you can see your feelings inside yourself
And wander through my heart
Letting you see through me
Now only consumes me
Forget your pain and watch me fall apart
As i fall apart


6. IT'S THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT

How do you know where you're going
When you don't know where you've been
You hide the shame that you're not showing
And you won't let anyone in
A crowded street can be a quiet place
When you're walking alone
And now you think that you're the only
One who doesn't

[Chorus:]
Have to try
And you won't have to fail
If you're afraid to fly
Then i guess you never will
You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got

Memories have left you broken
And the scars have never healed
The emptiness in you is growing
But so little left to fill
You're scared to look back on the days before
You're too tired to move on
And now you think that you're the only one who doesn't

[Chorus]

What would it take
To get you to say that I'll try
And what would you say if
This was the last day of your life

You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got

You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more
Than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now
They tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given
Like it's the only one you've got


7. GIVE IT TO ME

It feels like something got in the way
And maybe i had something to do with it
There's not much that i can say
But there sure is something i've got to prove to you
I told you, that i'd try
And you said that i lie
Like i have something to sell

Come on wait a minute
You think i've been in this
For a little while
But now come on baby, please
I've been on my knees for a long time
So come on, give it to me
Just give it to me

There's always something i wanna say
But the words won't never come out
The way i want
Maybe i see another way
Or maybe i just see somethin you don't
These stories that you tell
Now i know them a little too well
You think i'll take what i want
Oh no

Come on wait a minute
You think i've been in this
For a little while
But now come on baby, please
I've been on my knees for a long time
Come on, give it to me
One more wrong will make it right
I don't wanna fight no more
I'm tired of sayin' please
This is all i need
So give me just a little bit
A little bit more
Oh, give me just a little bit more

Come on wait a minute
You think i've been in this
For a little while
But now come on baby, please
I've been on my knees for a long time

Come on wait a minute
You think i've been in this
For a little while
But now come on baby, please
I've been on my knees for a long time
Come on, give it to me
One more wrong will make it right
I don't wanna fight no more
I'm tired of sayin' please
This is all i need
So give me just a little bit
A little bit more
Oh, give me just a little bit more
Give me just a little bit more
Little bit more


8. THESE DAYS

I think i was better off before this all began
So clearly i can see lately that you don't know who i am
Everybody tried to tell me something that i never could believe
Stand back it seems so much different than it did in front of me
But i know

There's no good in lookin' back on yesterday
And wondering what could have happened then
You think you can give me what i want
You say, you say
I think i'm better off alone
These days, these days

Why should i put my trust in something that i never could believe
So one day you can find somethin better just to pack your things and leave
Loneliness is a friend for the moment but you won't walk out on me
I know

There's no good in lookin' back on yesterday
And wondering what could have happened then
You think you can give me what i want
You say, you say
I think i'm better off alone
These days, these days

I'm tired and i'm sick of waiting
Maybe i'll die alone
'cause i can't take another damn day
Of waiting here for you to come home to me
Yeah, yeah, baby, baby please
Tell me why

You think you can give me what i want
You say, you say
I think i'm better off alone
These days, these days
You think you can give me what i want
You say, you say
I think i'm better off alone
These days, these days


9. YOUR ARMS FEEL LIKE HOME

I think i've walked too close to love
And now i'm falling in
Theres so many things this weary soul can't take
Maybe you just caught me by surprise
The first time that i looked into your eyes

There's a life inside of me
That i can feel again
It's the only thing that takes me
Where i've never been
I don't care if i lost everything that i have known
It don't matter where i lay my head tonight
Your arms feel like home
Feel like home

This life aint the fairy tale we both thought it would be
But i can see your smiling face as it's staring back at me
I know we both see these changes now
I know we both understand somehow

There's a life inside of me
That i can feel again
It's the only thing that takes me
Where i've never been
I don't care if i lost everything that i have known
It don't matter where i lay my head tonight
Your arms feel like home
They feel like home
(hold on, you're home to me)

There's a life inside of me
That i can feel again
It's the only thing that takes me
Where i've never been
I don't care if i lost everything that i have known
It don't matter where i lay my head tonight
Your arms feel like home
They feel like home


10. RUNAWAY

Do you ever think about running away
'cause i was thinkin' about leavin' today
We'll follow forever where our hearts wanna go
Maybe we'll live somewhere where nobody knows our names
Then things might change for the good

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too long
Too long, oh no

Do you ever think about not comin' back
Hoppin' on a train and we'll burn up the tracks
We'll jump off somewhere that we don't know how to say
Maybe hitch a ride from someone who can tell us the way
To where these things might change for the good

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Where forever is never too long
Not with you right here by me
Maybe, maybe we'll just see
Where this road will lead for us

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone
But as long as we're together then forever's never too
Forever is never too long


11. WHEN IT'S OVER

You must be happy with yourself
You think you're so much better than me
Why do you love to see me fail so much
'cause on that day you crawl back on your knees
Tell me who will save you

When there's no one else around
And you can't turn to me
Tell me where will you be
When it's over
And all this pride you hold inside
Is gone
Tell me where will you hide
When it's over
And everything you know is said and done
When it's over, where will you run

Do your memories haunt your dreams
Do they simply seem to have a mind of their own
Tell me what the emptiness brings
When everything you know is everything but gone
Tell me who will save you

When there's no one else around
And you can't turn to me
Tell me where will you be
When it's over
And all this pride you hold inside
Is gone
Tell me where will you hide
When it's over
And everything you know is said and done
When it's over, where will you run

You can't hold your world together now
Everyone sees who you really are
When your castle crumbles at your feet
Don't you run to me

When it's over
And all this pride you hold inside is dying
Where will you hide?
When it's over
And all this pride you hold inside has died
Tell me where will you hide
When it's over
And everything you know is said and done
When it's over, where will you run?


12. SHE DON'T WANT THE WORLD

The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up
And never lets it show
She can't take much more of this
But she can't let it go
And that's ok, she don't want the world

All the things she says
While he's just lying there
Without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream
About a place to hide
And that's ok, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away
Now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world

Those words he never spoke
Haunt her life, the memories
Of all the times before
She tried to show him love
While he would only ask for more
But it's ok, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she's longing
For slowly appear
She's seen them all before
But somehow never quite this clear
She just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away
Now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again
This time to face the day
She swears there's time to make it
As she simply walks away
And it's ok, she don't want the world
