1. O Father

Father, what have you done
Your children are blowing themselves the kingdom come, kingdom come
Father, of all time and space
Why do you raise us up just to fall from grace, fall from grace

Take a look around you, heaven can't be found, and
You can't hear the sound of a heartbeat
In the heart of the city
If you've got a plan, if someone's in command,
The c'mon raise you hand and
Show us some love and pity
I pray...

O Father, our father
Where is your guiding light
O Father, our father
God help us through the night

I am just a man
Walkin' these mean streets tryin' to find my way
I'm doin' what I can, tryin' to made a stand,
Tryin' the understand
Fighting just to find my faith
I pray

We raise our hands to heaven
We raise our voice in prayer
We fight for something to believe in
Let there be someone there

Take a look around, heaven can't be found
O father raise your hand

O Father, Our Father
I need you now

2. Demons Down

In the town that I was born in they said that I was wild
A bad seed born to lose forever
My Daddy used to teach me with the backside of his hand
Oh Lord, I guess he didn't know better

Leaving was a long long time coming
I don't know now where the courage was found
Cause they said "Boy, you'll never amount to nothin'"
But oh Lord,
I stared my demons down

I had one hand on the bible another hand on the wheel
And I headed out in search of my horizons

There's just one thing that I know for certain
Growing old don't make a boy a man
When my time comes and they raise the final curtains
I'll know I took a stand
I stared my demons
I stared my demons down

Black smoke'll fill up the sky
As my bridges burn to the ground
I'll hold my head up high
As I walk right through this town
Don't need no simple minds
Telling me who I am

So I came back to say goodbye
Look 'em in the eyes
And stare my demons down

In the town that I was born in they said that I was wild
Now I'm on the train bound for heaven

3. What's Forever For

I did the best that I could, the best that I know
Still we go on and on in this war
I kept you under the sun away from the cold
And I sheltered you from the storm

Tell me how much more in love could a man ever be
How can I go on on my own
Do you understand?

What is forever for?
If you leave me now, if you walk away
Remember the vows we swore
If we ain't forever, tell me
What's forever for?

Can't get you out of my mind, out of my heart
Girl I believe in you
We lay so close in the dark yet so far apart
You're like a stranger in my arms

Tell me where did we go wrong?
Should I blame myself?
We had it in the palm of our hands

What is forever for?
If you leave me know, if you walk away
Remember the vows we swore
If we ain't forever, tell me
What's forever for?

Tell me how much more in love can a man ever be
How can I go on on my own
I can't understand

What' is forever for?
If you leave me now, if you walk away
Remember the vows we swore
If love ain't forever, tell me
What's forever for?

4. Talkin' 'Bout Love

I don't know just where I'm going
I don't know its been so long
Inside my room I feel like cryin'
I wish I knew where I belong

I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love

This world is cold, and I'm so lonely
Inside my heart, I can't go on
Without you love I feel like dyin'
Without your love I turn to stone

I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love

If time is a healer, then tell why do I still bleed for you
I still remember and the nights I can't forget
The memories burned inside my heart

And in our hearts we're all just beggars
Lonely players in a play
And in a world that's spinning madly
Every soul must find its way

I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love
I'm talkin' about love

5. Spirit Of Love

Look at me what am I going through
Lying in my bed thinking of you
We talked about it over and over
You called me your friend and you cried on my shoulder

What will it take to make you mine tonight
What will it take to make you open your eyes

Here I am
What are you waiting for
Take my hand
Don't make me want you more
Here I am
What are you dreaming of
Understand I'm sending you the spirit of love

So many men have made you cry
You gave it your best and you kissed them goodbye
But that was then and this is now
If I had a chance I'd show you somehow

What will it take to make you mine tonight
What will it take to make you open your eyes

Here I am
What are you waiting for
Take my hand
Don't make me want you more
Here I am
What are you dreaming of
Understand I'm sending you the spirit of love
Ohh ohh

Just give me a sign babe
I'm lost without you near me?
I wanna love you
Can't you hear me when I say

Here I am
What are you waiting for
Take my hand
Don't make me want you more
Here I am
What are you dreaming of
Understand I'm sending you the spirit of love

Baby why can't you see...

6. Down, Down, Down

Storm in the sky, tears in my eyes
Thunder on the radio
Danger in the night, moon burnin' high
Something's getting ready to blow
You're so young, just a child baby
I know he's been hurting you
Got a gun, goin' wild baby
I'll do what I have to do
(I swear by all that's sacred...)

He goin'
Down, down, down
Ain't gonn never give up, never give up
Until he's
Down, down, down
Goin'
In the name of love

Cold summer sweat
Fire in my head
Lord, I'm goin' over the edge
Ooh, I'll do my time inside
But he'll do his time in hell

It's alright it's like heaven
To finally end the pain
What we had is forever
No, they can't take that away
(I sear by all that's sacred...)

There's an angel watching over me tonight
Baby this I know
And if there's any justice in the world
Heaven will save my soul

You're so young, just a child baby
I know how you bleed.....

It's gonna be over tonight
He's goin' down, down, down....

7. Metallic Blue

She's got this car
And she drives it like she's right out of her mind
She drives it like she thinks that she is running out of time
Afraid to cross that line
Only she knows the road she left behind

She's got this heart
A heart just like a wheel that spinnin' around
And she drives it like she's crashin'
through the barrier of sound
When no one can be found and
Nothing can hold her or dare to drag her down, hey hey

She'll push you to the limit as she slams it to the floor
And take you to the places that you've never seen before

She takes the highway
She loves, she loves the little white lines
She runs the reds every night, that's right
She says the highway
Is gonna get you through
But daybreak, she's runnin' from you
Metallic blue

The road is dark
And the lines are leading to the exit signs
And there ain't no brakes to stop the ache on highway 69
Baby not this time
You're runnin' from shadows, and they'll get ya every time, hey hey

She'll take you to the fast lane with her leather and her steel
She'll make you go the distance she'll make it so unreal

8. Inside You

Love is like an old friend
Waiting on the line
Time is like a godsend
Cause I know in time I could make you mine

Life is such a fragile thing
Something's bound to break
And now if you can hear me now
I've been through hell, for heaven's sake

Inside you, you belong to me
And I can't take anymore
Inside you, as far as I can see
I would die to be more inside you

Rain may fall around me,
But I can't drown you out
Change, someday will find me
But there's no way I can live without

Your love is like a hurricane, blowin' through my life
At times, at times I'm so ashamed
I left you cold for all those nights

Life is such a fragile thing
Something's bound to break
And now if you can hear me now
I've been through hell for heaven's sake

9. Johnny's Got A Mind Of His Own

Four in the morning
Slippin' out the back door
Johnny's on a rampage
Johnny wanna get more

Makin' every move, every mortal sin
Doin' what he likes
Till it's sinkin' in
I say yeah, yeah

Johnny's got a mind of his own
And he doesn't like to be alone
Thee ain't nothin' gonna keep him home
C'mon give it up
Give it up
Ain't no use in fightin' cause
Johnny's got a mind of his own

Kamikaze pilot
Can't be watin' too long
Johnny's in the cockpit
Tickin' like an "H" bomb

Making every move, every mortal sin
And if I try to stop
I don't know where to begin

Johnny's got a mind of his own
And you know that he likes to roam
There ain't nothin' gonna keep him home
C'mon give it up
Give it up
Ain't no use in fightin' cause
Johnny's got a mind of his own

Go Johnny Go!

I've been thinking 'bout this for a long, long time
It's been the way of the world for a long, long time

When Johnny is bad
Then Johnny feels good

I'm not in command
I did what I could
Johnny's got a mind of his own

10. Can't Fight Love

Cause enough ain't enough
Once you start
No, no, no
You can't fight love

It's never easy and it's never nice
When the truth of the matter is a little white lie

It's a shock to the system
It's a kick in the heart
But if we tried to stop
We wouldn't know where to start

Baby, a kiss ain't just a kiss
When it feels like this
Come a little closer

Somewhere, in the deep of the night
Baby, we fit a little to tight 'cause

Enough, ain't enough
Once you start
You can never ever stop
Takes you high, gets you up
Face it baby
No, no, no
You can't fight love

It can shatter the windows
It can knock down the doors
Peel off the plaster
Like never before

I swore I wouldn't fall
Baby what can I say
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away

This fire will never leave us alone
Our flesh has a mind of it's own

Tonight, in the name of desire
Gonna break our own rules
Gonna prove ourselves liars
We tried
Yeah, we tried to be tough
C'mon pretty baby just give it up

You can't fight love!
