We Weren’t Born to Follow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology
[Verse 2]
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who curses and spits
This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
[Bridge]
Guitar!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
[Outro]
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
Superman Tonight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's somethin' about you I wanna rescue
I don't even know you, so what does that mean?
Maybe I'm cynical, painfully logical
You're tragic and beautiful
And that's good enough for me
[Pre-Chorus]
You're lookin' for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo
Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a
Hero for you
[Chorus]
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
And who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie, I wish that I
Could be your Superman tonight
[Verse 2]
If somebody sent you an angel to save you
What would you tell him to turn him away?
That your heart don't break?
That your lips don't kiss?
That life is just a lie?
That Heaven don't exist?
[Chorus]
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
And who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie, I wish that I
Could be your Superman tonight
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Who's gonna fix you the next time you break down?
Stranded alone by the side of the road
It's your baggage that's draggin' you down
Don't look back
Let it go
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
And who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie, I wish that I was that Superman
Who's gonna save you when the stars fall from your sky?
And who's gonna pull you in when the tide gets too high?
Who's gonna hold you when you turn out the lights?
I won't lie, I wish that I
Could be your superman tonight
[Outro]
(Woah, woah, woah) Superman tonight
(Woah, woah, woah) Be your Superman
Woah, woah, woah, tonight
Woah, woah, woah
Thorn in My Side Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thorn in my side
You're always there
Just to remind me
That I still care
Thorn in my side
You won't let me go
Right there beside me
To let me know
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of things I loved
When I was too blind to see
[Chorus]
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck but I'm still gettin' by
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
You can test my faith but you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Thorn in my side
You just won't quit
Once in a while when I crack a smile
You rub my face in it
Thorn in my side
You won't let me run
God bless the fight
That I've lost and won
[Chorus]
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck but I'm still gettin' by
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
You can test my faith but you can't take my pride
[Post-Chorus]
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh)
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh)
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of things I loved
When I was too blind to see
[Chorus]
But I'll survive
I gave up on luck but I'm still gettin' by
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright
You can test my faith but you can't take my pride
[Post-Chorus]
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh)
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh)
[Outro]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh)
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ooh)
Live Before You Die Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was a little boy of nine years old
The whole world in my hands
Tryin' to toss that ball across the yard
A game of catch with my old man
He would always say, "I'm sorry"
Every time he had to leave
And I was much to young to understand
When he would say to me
[Chorus]
When you're young you always think
The sun is gonna shine
There'll come a day
You'll have to say hello to goodbye
Sit down, son, come take my hand
Look me in the eye
Take these words, promise me
You'll live before you die
[Verse 2]
I was barely seventeen, summer of seven-nine
Already, I was feelin' like I was runnin' out of time
I had this girl, we fell in love
Should I say that she had me?
Then one fateful night, it changed our lives
And made a memory
[Chorus]
When you're young you always think
The sun is gonna shine
There'll come a day
You'll have to say hello to goodbye
She laid me down, she took my hand
Looked me in the eye
And just before she kissed me, she said
"We've gotta live before we die"
Live before we die
[Post-Chorus]
You learn to love, to live
You fight and you forgive
You learn what's wrong and right
Live before you die
[Bridge]
I made mistakes, I caught some breaks
But I've got not regrets
There's some things I don't remember
But one thing I don't forget
[Chorus]
When you're young you always think
The sun is gonna shine
One day you're gonna have to say hello to goodbye
Shout it out, let someone somewhere
Know you're alive
Take these words, wear 'em well
Live before you die
Live before you die
Hey
Live before you die
[Post-Chorus]
You learn to love, to live
You fight and you forgive
You face the darkest night
Just live before you die
Brokenpromiseland Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Angels fallin' from the sky
Imagine that, imagine that
Nobody's gettin' outta here alive
No turnin' back, no turnin' back
Who's gonna bail out all our shattered dreams
And scrape some truth off of these city streets?
No time for prayin', get up off your knees
[Chorus]
There's hope I know
Out on that lonely road
'Cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in, breathe out
There's only now
And all I got I'm holdin' in my hands
We're breakin' out of brokenpromiseland
[Verse 2]
Let's close our eyes and just disappear
Slip through the cracks, no lookin' back
We'll get a million miles away from here
And let the past just fade to black
So what you learn to live with your regrets
No need to fear what hasn't happened yet
Oh, life'll get you but you can't forget
[Chorus]
There's hope I know
Out on that lonely road
'Cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in, breathe out
There's only now
And all I got I'm holdin' in my hands
We're breakin' out of brokenpromiseland
[Bridge]
Uh-huh
So rise my fallen angel
Come on now, come on now
Shine, don't let them break you
Come on now, come on now
Come on now, come on now
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Come on now, come on now
Come on now, come on
[Chorus]
There's hope I know
Out on that lonely road
'Cause home is where you are and where I am
Breathe in, breathe out
There's only now
And all I got I'm holdin' in my hands
We're breakin' out of brokenpromiseland
[Outro]
Oh oh, oh-woah oh oh, oh oh
Breakin' out of brokenpromiseland (Oh oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh)
Oh oh, oh-woah oh oh, oh oh
Breaking out of brokenpromiseland (Oh oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh)
Oh oh, oh-woah oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh-woah oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh-woah oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh-oh, oh oh oh
Happy Now Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What would you say to me
If I told you I had a dream
If I told you everything?
Would you tell me to go back to sleep?
Take a look in these tired eyes
They're comin' back to life
I know I can change, got hope in my veins
I'm telling you I ain't goin' back to the pain
[Chorus]
Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe, I'm buildin' a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees, I learned how to bleed
I'm turnin' my world around
[Verse 2]
Can I be happy now?
Can I break free somehow?
I just wanna live again, love again
Pick my pride up off of the ground
I'm ready to pick a fight
Crawl out of the dark to shine a light
I ain't throwin' stones, got sins of my own
Ain't everbody just tryin' to find their way home?
[Chorus]
Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe, I'm buildin' a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees, I learned how to bleed
I'm turnin' my world around
[Verse 3]
You're born and you die and gone in a minute
I ain't lookin' back 'cause I don't wanna miss it
You better live now 'cause no one's gonna get out alive
Alive
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Can I be happy now?
Can I let my breath out?
Let me believe, I'm buildin' a dream
Don't try to drag me down
I just wanna scream out loud
Can I be happy now?
Been down on my knees, I learned how to bleed
I'm turnin' my world around
[Outro]
Can I be happy now?
Oh-oh-oh
I'm turnin' my world around
Can I be happy now?
Learn to Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have run from the truth
Since the days of my misspent youth
I was hungry for kindness
I was lost in life's blindness
When you're born without wings
All you dream of, all you want
Is that feelin' of flyin'
Of risin' and climbin'
[Chorus]
Halle, halle
We're one breath away
Halle, halle
From our judgement day
You leave it all on the table
If you lose or you win
You've gotta learn to love the world you're livin' in
Aw-aw
[Verse 2]
Always thought I'd die young
In these hands, I've held the gun
But it's too late for dyin'
Now there's nothin' worth hidin'
I've lost love, lived with shame
I was humbled by my fall from grace
On the steps of decision
It's revenge or forgiveness
[Chorus]
Halle, halle
We're one breath away
Halle, halle
From our judgement day
You leave it all on the table
If you lose or you win
You've gotta learn to love the world you're livin' in
[Refrain]
Halle, halle
Halle, halle
[Chorus]
Halle, halle
We're one breath away
Halle, halle
From our judgement day
You leave it all on the table
If you lose or you win
You've gotta learn to love the world you're livin' in
Halle, halle
And that's how it is
You've got to learn to love the world you're living in
[Refrain]
Halle, halle
Halle, halle
Halle, halle
