Real life isn't always what you want, isn't always what you need
The fear I, express in what i write
In such a way as to, believe it

I hope you know i mean itt, when i say, take it slow
Why? Cause you need to feel it, in your soul
So take it slow man

Sometimes in a different state of mind, i seem to feel things more
It's no lie, that given space and time
All the pieces fall, into place

I hope you know i mean it, when i say take it slow
Why, cause you need to feel it
In your soul
So take it slow
You'll have everything you want

Real life feeling
All you want, all you need
Freedom

I hope you know i mean it
When i say take it slow man
Why, cause you need to feel it, in your soul
So take it slow

2. Easier That Way

---

The sun is shining through the trees, I'm gazing at the sky
Not long ago the winter freeze was taking its toll on me
And there are people all around me, struggling to make ends meet
While those who are responsible are living down on easy street

They didn't cause it, we only said they did.
They got it wrong and then got away with it
They sold a lie and poor people pay for it
Cause it's easier that way
Easier the way

If there's justice in the world I guess
It must be hard to see
We should focus on togetherness
It's the only way to change things
It's not easy staying faithful
To hold on to belief
When your whole damn world's been stolen and you're trying to catch the thief

They didn't cause it we only said they did
They got it wrong and then got away with it
They sold a lie and poor people pay for it
Cause it's easier that way, easier that way
Why in the world do our leaders turn away from it
Knowing full well that we all need a cure for it
Time and again the poor people pay for it
Cause its easier that way, easier the way

Ok let's take a moment to reflect

Chorus

Could you turn it off for a second.

3. Follow The Lie

---

Chasing rainbows
Grieving angels
Timeless moments of broken silence
I've been on the road so long
I keep a picture of you here, inside
No horizon, forgets me, forgets me

Follow the lie
What's the use of worring about it
You always have a song to sing
Something that your hopes belong and fears don't win
They can never win

Chasing rainbows
No surprises
Just looking out and hoping for, someone who's in need of love
The truth doesn't harm you
It's just relieving you of, that inner silence
Keeping your hopes alive
Long before it is too late

Chorus 2
Follow the lie
What's the use of worrying about it
You always have a song to sing
Somewhere that your hopes belong and fears don't win
They can never win
Focus on the life you have
Walking that fine line between what's good and bad
Trying to find the courage and learn to be still
Learn to be still

Repeat chorus 2

Chasing rainbows
No surprises

4. Shouting In My Sleep

---

So you decided it's your day to be free
And you know
That it wont be long till you abandon me
I can think of many ways, you could build a better life
Just to know
It would be enough
Show emotion if you like?

For some unknown reason I've been, shouting in my sleep
Losing concentration and i'm shaking like a leaf
Harbouring feelings of
Not being bold enough
I hope that i can find the strength to
Get from underneath, this emotion

Share some life with me
Take from me all that you want
Don't think i'll be giving up

For some unknown reason i've been
Shouting in my sleep
Losing concentration and i'm
Shaking like a leaf
Harbouring feelings of, not being bold enough
I hope that i can find the strength to
Get from underneath
This emotion

Fear it was enough
I am not, but i was
You choose your way
Take it one day at a time
Don't tell me you're not that kind

For some unknown reason i've been
Shouting in my sleep
Losing concentration and i'm shaking like a leaf
Harbouring feelings of, not being bold enough
I hope that i can find the strength to
Get from underneath
This emotion
This emotion
I hide it underneath
So you can't see

5. Wait For Better Days

---

Lately, you've seen the best of me
Maybe, i've nothing left to give
Time just takes it's toll
Life tells you to go
Love it fades away
Why? It's hard to say

Chorus
Don't see it as the end it's the start of something new
If a feeling lies within
Then keep it close to you
Allow yourself to be and go at your own pace
Be patient and be true and wait for better days

Sorry, if i don't share regret
I don't feel it's all been meaningless
People come and go
Feelings fade and grow

Repeat Chorus

6. She Don't Feel So Loved

---

What's the use of worrying
Wont change a thing
That look of anxiety
When the door bell rings
Time and time again you say
You know better
One things that your friends all claim
To the letter

Chorus
She don't feel so loved
And the longer you wait the worse it becomes
She don't feel so loved
And you feel like there's nobody listening
Any given time, any given place
You can feel that life is escaping you, passing you bye
She don't feel so loved
And you're stuck in the middle

You're not gonna waste your life, anymore
Looking to the left and right
Love or war
You really got me freaking out
Hurting hating, your soul's on fire
Can't put it out

Chorus

Maybe when the time comes, you'll awaken
Step outside yourself, looking in
You seem caught between the old and new
Nobody can change things for you
Like it or not, that's just the way it is
Don't be taken for a fool

Chorus

7. Rhianne

---

She sleeps alone, to forget all
She hurts so much, in dreams she cries
She sleeps alone, her world has gone

Rhianne x 3
You've got to belong again

She wanted more than he could give
She cries inside
But no one wants to know
Cause they all told her so

Rhianne x 3
You've got to belong again

Life must go on
You'll find your way in time
Don't be afraid to feel alive
You've got to belong again

8. She's A Queen

---

She was put on earth to complicate my life
To question each decision that i make
To be there when i feel alone at night
And when i wake
She knows every choice i make i make for her
And without her i would only make things worse
When i ask and get no answer, that means no
And that's for sure

I'm aware that i can only go so far
And afraid to reach the point of no return
Her answers are intinctive and in line
With life's design
What's yours is mine

She's a queen x 4

She never tells me what's been on her mind
I just look around for answers all the time
There's a million different reasons and i try so hard to find them
Just because, she's the one

She's a queen, much more than a lady
She's a queen, she will always be my baby
She's a queen, there will never be another one
She's a queen, always

I can't imagine life without her, since we met it just gets better
There could never be a way, i could ever just forget her
From the first day i was sure and it hasn't changed since then
My life was so unclear and now it all makes sense again
I would struggle to find anyone, who has any given reason
Why i shouldn't feel this certain, why i shouldn't keep believing
There's a million different reasons
Why i shouldn't keep believing
Just because
She's the one

She's a queen, much more than a lady
She's a queen, she will always be my baby
She's a queen, there could never be another one
She's a queen, always
Repeat Chorus

Written by Ray Wilson and Peter Hoff

9. Whatever Happened

---

Whatever happened to, people you meet and never see again
Is it the end or just the beginning
Into a different life
Making new mistakes always wondering
If a new life is something worth having

Now i got something new to understand
I've got something I can't comprehend
I need someone who can help me out
It's all so simple, let's all shout it out

Whatever happened to, people you meet and never see again
Is it the end or just the beginning

Whatever happened to, people you meet and never see again
Is it the end or just the beginning

10. I See It All

---

She masks her faith
Hides it from the world
There's too much at stake
She made that mistake before
The truth sets you free
But not in the world she see's

Chorus
In love, in life I want to see it all, all for myself
No need for lies, it's all i'm living for
Just to be free

Reading the signs, but no one knows where or why
Saying so long to the days, she needed an alibi
You can shoot me down in flames if you want
The decision is yours to make
I just see things differently
I feel it another way

Chorus 2
In love in life I want to see it all
All for myself
No need for lies, it's all i'mm living for
Just to be free
Look and you'll see it in my eyes, keeping my hopes alive
In truth i might be lonely all my life
But at least i'll be free.

Fight for freedom

Repeat chorus 2

11. The Life Of Someone

---

She sold her life, a few times every night
And no use to complain, there was nowhere she could hide
The reason was the game
There's no choice you have to play
And all you're left with is your soul

Chorus
It's the life of someone, equal under God
It's the life of someone, whether you like it or not
You don't have to agree
Cause there are two sides you and me
I'm not too proud to ask for help
For the life of someone else

To live, in shame, but to know you're not to blame
And your muted screams, cause the walls are closing in
It's not some romantic tale
It's a piece of living hell
You can wish, but never tell

Chorus

To behold and to belong
To be faithful to all
For my love of everything
And my mama back home
If she could see me like this
She would die a thousand deaths
If there was something i could give
To make this change it

Chorus

12. No Dreams Are Made Of This

---

I know where hope belongs, placed in the window for observation
Not in the back of someone's head
In the past or buried with the dead
And the crime remains to be
Giving up or losing faith in thee
Trust yourself, believe in yourself
Hold on to all you know true
Life is yours to keep
Blame uncertainty and hatred
No dreams are made of this

No dreams are made of this
Look in my eyes, can't you see it
No dreams are made of this
For better or for worse, i mean it

I've had regrets, handled the curse
Stared at the face of defeat
Been told it's my fault everytime and
You're no friend of mine, but
That enemy lies within
No day is too long, no words can't become a song
I need some way to release
Trust yourself, believe in yourself
Never surrender
No dreams are made of this

No dreams are made of this
Look in my eyes, can't you see it
No dreams are made of this
For better or for worse I mean it
No dreams are made of this
I want to believe you, really i do
But i don't

If anyone asks you why
Say it

My name is
My name is
My name is
Don't forget me, don't forget me

My life is
My hopes are
My worlds not, all wrong
I'm still holding on
Still holding on
Not sure for how long

I hope for all time
