1. MADE IN AMERICA

Made in America
Nineteen fifteen nine

Born down by the factories

Cross the Jersey City line

Raised on radio

Just a jukebox kid

I was alright

Just a small town homeboy

With big time dreams

Following his conscience

In a world full of extremes

Fresh outta high school

Only seventeen

I was alright

Blinded by my vision

There was just no turning back

Like a runaway train

Life was steaming down the track

You'd say I'd never make it out

But I kept on hanging on

Every night I prayed to Jesus

And held my head up strong

I was alright

I landed on my feet

Made in America

I was brought up on the street

My old man's independence

Seemed good enough for me

I was made in America

Made in America

Never cared much about politics

Til I was twenty one

But I woke up when Lennon

Found the wrong end of a gun

He left his inspiration

Before he said goodbye

And we were alright

We all lose out innocence

It's impossible to hold

I didn't know it then

I had a packet full of gold

When I kissed those younger days goodbye

It almost broke my heart

I was going to through my growing pains

I was driving in the dark

But I was alright

I landed on my feet

Made in America

I was brought up on the street

I'm facing up to freedom

And chasing down my dream

I was made in America

Yeah I was made in America

Yeah we all lose our innocence

It's impossible to hold

I just didn't know it then

I had a packet full of gold

When they said I'd never make it

I just kept on hanging on

And every night I prayed to Jesus

And I held my head up strong

And I was alright

I landed on my feet

Made in America

I was brought up on the street

Facing up to who I am

Chasing down my dream

I was made in America

Yeah I was made in America


2. HARD TIMES COME EASY

It's amazing
We go through changes

When times get crazy

It's up and down,it's hot and cold

These complications

Just keep on coming

These ain't no running

When it comes to life that's how it goes

'Round and round we go

Sometimes it feels like

We're on a roller coaster ride

Baby don't you know

It could eat up

If you try and keep it all inside

Seems like hard times come easy

We do a lot of hangin' on these days

But the heart finds a reason

And love always seems to find a way

Even if it hurts

Even if it hurts us baby

There's gonna be thunder

There's gonna be rain

There's gonna be those times

We both get caught up in the pain

The realization

Keeps sinkin' in

The way you make it

Is learn to take it on the chin

'Round and round we go

It's just another day

With trouble knockin' at your door

Baby don't you know

We can work it out

'Cause we always seem to find a cure

Seems like hard times come easy

We do a lot of hangin' on these days

But the heart finds a reason

And love always seems to find a way

Even if it hurts

Even if it hurts us baby

'Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like

We're on a roller coaster ride

Baby don't you know

We'll keep holdin' on

Through the changes that we feel inside

Seems like hard times come easy

We do a lot of hangin' on these days

But the heart finds a reason

And love always seems to find a way

Hard times come easy babe


3. FALLEN FROM GRACELAND

There's a line that you cross
When you find out that you're lost

When your world is closing in

And it crawls under your skin

And the heart's always blind

When it's in this state of mind

There's a burning light in this town

For every heart that's broken down tonight

Here tonight

You're stranded out there in the rain

And you just can't see past the pain tonight

You've fallen from Graceland

Fallen from Graceland

When you're too proud to crawl

It keeps you back against the wall

You wanna die, but you live

With nothing left to give

And there's no place to hide

When you're tangled up inside

There's a burning light in this town

For every heart that's broken down tonight

Here tonight

You're stranded out there in the rain

But you just can't see past the pain tonight

You've fallen from Graceland

And there's no place to hide

When you're tangled up inside

There's a burning light in this town

For every heart that's broken down tonight

Here tonight

You've stranded out there in the rain

But you just can't see past the pain tonight

You've fallen from Graceland

Fallen you've fallen from Graceland tonight

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen from Graceland

and Tonight

There's a light

A bright light burning

For every broken heart in this world tonight

Deep inside

Yes, there's one light burning

That will lead you thorough the storm tonight

It's gonna be alright

Be alright, yeah

Gonna be alright, yeah

It's gonna be alright

(oh, it's gonna be alright, tonight)


4. IF GOD WAS A WOMAN

If God was a woman
with long blond hair

would you kneel at her altar

and offer her prayer

could she be your addiction

could she make you sin

If God was a woman

and you were her man

If God was a woman

would you be impressed

if she showed up in high heels

and a pretty red dress

would you make a donation

or would you draw the line

would you yield to temptation

or savor her wine

If God was a woman

she'd come like an angel

or a devil in disguise

when she left in the morning

would you lose your religion

or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye

If God was a woman.

If God was a woman

tell me who could we blame

would she make Jesus righteous

or completely insane

If God was a woman

would she kiss and tell

would we wind up in heaven

or would we all burn in hell.

If God was a woman

she'd come like an angel

or a devil in disguise, oh yeah

and if she left in the morning

would you lose your religion

or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye

If God was a woman

and you were her man, yeah

Solo

If God was a woman

would she come like an angel

or a devil in disguise, oh yeah

when she left in the morning

would you lose your religion

or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye

If God was a woman

If God was a woman

If God was a woman

If God was a woman

We'll all burn in hell

If God was a

woman, woman, woman, woman

If God was a woman

tell me who would we blame

If God was a woman

If God was a woman

she'd drive us insane, yeah


5. ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS

When I look at you
you're beautiful

there comes a time in someone's life

when you find things that matter

and every time we touch

the love runs deep

we realize it's our to keep

and that's all that really matters.

You'll always be my sweet addiction

in this life my saving grace

you're all that really matters

you know it's true

ain't no me without you.

When you're in the dark

baby don't despair

I'm just a spark away

I will be there

and that's all that matters.

You'll always be my sweet addiction

in this life my saving grace

you're all that really matters

you know it's true

ain't no me without you.

We'll share our lives together

yes our flame burns on forever

and at the final curtain call

we can say we did it all.

Solo

You'll always be my sweet addiction

in this life my saving grace

you're all that really matters

you know it's true

ain't no me without you.

And when we turns to dust

and we fly away

there'll be a light still burning bright

and that's all that really matters.


6. YOU'RE NOT ALONE

You can be a million miles away
I will always love you

you can be a thousand thorough always

I'll be thinking of you

No matter where you try to hide

you will always gonna find me

right where I belong

been here beside you all along

like some ancient star

forever we'll remain.

Even if the sky should ever fall from grace

if I die or fade away

in the end you'll always know

you're not alone.

You can change your face to someone else

still I won't forget you

when you're feeling lost inside yourself

I will come and get you

These days the only savior you can find

is something you believe in

deep inside your heart

you might believe in me

Like some ancient star

forever we'll remain

Even if the sky should ever fall from grace

if I die or fade away

in your life you'll always know.

I know you got your fears and doubts

they're weighing on your mind

but something's gonna save you

you're gonna see the truth inside

I'll be right beside you

when the world tears apart

on your book like a shadow

no matter where you are

Like some ancient star

forever we'll remain

Even if the sky should ever fall from grace

if I die or fade away

in the end you'll always know

you're not alone

you're not alone.


7. IN IT FOR LOVE

Life is a road
forever winding where it leads us

I don't know

in it together

for better or worse

searching for our pal of gold.

Time

leaves a trail of broken hearts

so many arrows just keep missing

their mark

baby that ain't us.

Nothing else matters

when you're in it for love

together we can only go higher

you can reach any rainbow

you're dreaming of

nothing else matters at all

when you're in it for love, baby

Yeah

We'll share in the laughter

share in the tears

and the promises we keep

life can be crazy

love can be cruel

but it's always been a two way street

You try

and give it all you have to give

so many people don't know how to forgive

baby that ain't us.

Nothing else matters

when you're in it for love

together we can only go higher

you can reach any rainbow

you're dreaming of

nothing else matters at all

when you're in it for love, baby.

Solo

You try

and give it all you have to give

so many people don't know how to forgive

baby that ain't us.

Nothing else matters

when you're in it for love

together we can only go higher

you can reach any rainbow

you're dreaming of

nothing else matters at all

when you're in it for love baby.

When you're in it for love baby

in it for love

When you're in it for love baby

When you're in it for love baby

When you're in it for love baby

in it for love.


8. CHAINED

Hey, what's this feeling
I've never been down this far before

I was scared of believing

that love would never find my door

I was chained

Chained

Chained to my broken dreams

I never knew I was supposed to be

waiting for someone to come and rescue me

Rescue me

Rescue me.

Hey am I dreaming?

I never woke up from night before

unaware I was bleeding

slowly dying like the sun

going down once more.

I was chained

Chained

Chained to my broken dreams

I never knew just where my life would lead

hoping that someone would come and rescue me

Rescue me

Rescue me

Rescue me.

Alone in the darkness

'til saw the light

shining from your eyes

now it burns inside and it keeps me alive

Lord I've been chained

I've been chained, yeah.

Was chained

Chained

Chained to these broken dreams

I never knew who supposed to be

hoping that someone would come and rescue me

I've been chained

Chained

I've been chained to these broken dreams

I never knew just where my life would lead

waiting for you to come and rescue me

hoping that someone would come and

Rescue me

Rescue me

Rescue me

ooh yeah

Rescue me


9. HARLEM RAIN

The old man down on the corner
is downing in his pain

I can see the sorrow in his eyes

his tears, the leave a stain

The streets have left him broken

he's in the final phase

It's been a long hard road

from his glory days.

There's a tattoo of his sweetheart

fading on his arm

he talks of painful tragedy

how he lost his lucky charm

his memory is clouded

from the thunder in this vein

he's vanishing, vanishing gone

in the Harlem rain.

Harlem rain coming down

another shattered soul

in the lost and found

one more night

on the street of pain

getting washed away by the Harlem rain.

On desperation avenue

the devil takes his toll

where the pushers and the poverty

slowly claim your soul

when you reached the realization

that you just can't break the chain, no

you're vanishing, vanishing gone

in the Harlem rain.

Harlem rain coming down

another shattered soul

in the lost and found

one more night

on the street of pain

getting washed away by the Harlem rain (Harlem rain).

In your search for tender mercy

no one seemed to care

the faith that used to be your crutch

is now your cross to bear

You last yourself so long ago

you don't know who to blame

you're vanishing, vanishing gone

vanishing, vanishing gone

vanishing, vanishing gone

in the Harlem rain.


10. WHO I AM

Only child
lonely one

trying to act like his father's son

make him proud through he sometimes fails

locked up, living in a jail

Help me now

Help me now

God I feel misunderstood

Trust me now

Trust me now

Who I am is good.

Who I used to be ain't what I am

if you walked inside my shoes

then you would understand

Who I am - you wonder

Who I am - I wonder

Who I am

just who I am.

When I lost is when I learned

when the road took a crooked turn

wore the face of I just don't care

that piece of me just disappeared

Help me now

Help me now
find some hope inside myself

Reaching down

finding out

who's hiding in this shell.

Who I used to be ain't what I am

if you walked inside my shoes

then you would understand

Who I am - I wonder

Who I am - I wonder

Who I am

Who I am.

Somehow I got to find a mirror

to make the stranger clearer

all I wanna be is who I am.

Reaching down

finding out

I still feel misunderstood

Trust me now

Trust me now

Who I am is good.

Who I used to be ain't what I am

if you walked inside my shoes

then you would understand

Who I am - you wonder

Who I am - I wonder

Who I am

It's who I am.

Who I am

Who I am

Who I am.


11. DOWNSIDE OF LOVE

There's a danger of getting so close to you
there comes a time

when the walls fade away

and when love turns to bitter blue

sometimes it feels like it's so hard to stay

Last night we went to bed angry

we didn't mean what we said

seems we never get past forgiveness

we try to hide, we never learn

to swallow our pride.

On the down side of love

where the love turns to hate

we just can't relate

On the down side of love

when you're misunderstood

'cause when it hurts you

it hurts you so good.

Baby life has no guarantee

never knowing where love's gonna lead

even through you're a part of me

we have to deal with our pain separately

sometimes we both feel like victims

with no easy way out not, no, no

somehow we stand by each other

when we're desperate, and drowning in

the shadows of doubt.

On the down side of love

where the love turns to hate

we just can't relate

on the down side of love

'cause when it hurts you

it hurts you so good.

The times we share the tenderness

are the times that keep us alive

you get in my face, you rough me up

but baby you know

can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up

and make me let go

make me let got oh no, no.

When you're on the down side of love

where the love turns to hare

we just can't relate

on the down side of love

when you're misunderstood

'cause when it hurts you

it hurts you so good.

Downside of love

love's just a long, long road baby

yes there's a down side of love

stand by my side baby

when you're on the downside of love

No, no, no

downside of love

'cause it's a long, long road baby

downside of love.


12. UNDISCOVERED SOUL

She was standing at the station
small town suitcase in her hand

there were dreams she found inside her

that no one cared to understand

she never talks about her childhood

so much past to leave behind

she's so scared to go

but still she says goodbye.

When you walk that road

you walk alone

just an undiscovered soul

in the great unknown

when you only hope

is to find a home

just an undiscovered soul

in the great unknown

in the great unknown.

Born and raised in poverty

daddy died when he was young

all the fears that raged inside him

his spirit need to overcome

each day he tears down the reflection

of who he used to be

and with a little luck

he'll rise eventually.

When you walk that road

when you walk alone

just an undiscovered soul

in the great unknown

when you only hope

is to find a home

just an undiscovered soul

in the great unknown

the great unknown.

Solo

In the search of our salvation

relentlessly we climb

just looking for a reason

in creation's grand design

if patience is a virtue

then let us humbly begin

we'll be here waiting

'til our ship comes sailing in.

When you walk that road

we walk alone

just an undiscovered soul

in the great unknown

when you only hope

is to find a home

you're just an undiscovered soul

in the great unknown

the great unknown

the great unknown

don't want to walk through life

and undiscovered soul.

Searching for the road

looking for a home

in the great unknown

don't want to walk through life

an undiscovered soul

searching for a home

looking for a road

in the great unknown

don't want to walk through life

an undiscovered soul

Patience, virtue, identify, soul.
