LYRICS
CD: SET IT ON FIRE
Set It On Fire
(Regie Hamm)
EVERY LIE I'VE EVER SPOKEN
THAT LEFT ME BRUISED AND BROKEN
EVERY DREAM I THOUGHT WOULD SAVE ME
JUST A SCAR THE COLD WORLD GAVE ME
EVERY PLAN I HOPED WOULD LIFT ME
THAT I JUST LET SHAPE AND SHIFT ME
EVERY FEAR THAT KEEPS ME TETHERED
TO EVERYTHING I'VE WEATHERED ...
CHORUS
SET IT ON FIRE, SET IT ON FIRE
IN AN OCEAN OF FLAMES TIL NOTHING REMAINS BUT YOU - BUT YOU SET IT ON FIRE, SET IT ON FIRE BURN IT DOWN TO THE FROUND TIL NOTHING IS FOUND BUT YOU, BUT YOU
EVERY DEMON, DARK ADDICTION
EVERY STRONG AND STARK AFFLICTION
ALL THE PAST I'VE TRIED TO CARRY
AND THE DOUBT I'VE TRIED TO BURY
ALL THE PRIDE I CAN'T SURRENDER
LIKE A ROGUE, REPEAT OFFENDER
EVERY WOUNDED, WEAK EMOTION
EVERY FAITHLESS NOTION ...
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
BURN AWAY EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS ME IN APATHY BURN AWAY EVERYTHING THAT KEEPS FROM RUNNING FREE

DEEPEST LOVE DEEPEST PAIN
DEEPEST LOSS DEEPEST GAIN
FIRST YOU CRY AND YOU BLEED
THEN YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED
IT CUTS YOU TIL YOU'RE OPEN WIDE
BUT SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE
CHORUS
YOU ARIVE
FULL CIRCLE
EVERYTHING IS COMING AROUND
YOU'RE ALIVE
FULL CIRCLE
EVERYTHING IS COMING
EVERYTHING IS COMING AROUND
EVERY STEP THAT YOU LOSE
EVERY BREAK, EVERY BRUISE
IS YOUR SOUL ON IT'S WAY
THROUGH THE FROST AND THE FREY
AND YOU'RE CRAWLING THROUGH ANOTHER NIGHT WHEN YOU THINK YOU MAYBE SEE A LIGHT
BRIDGE
AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT WHILE YOU'RE MAKING IT BUT EVERYTHING INSIDE YOU IS SAYING KEEP WALKING ON
DEEPEST LOVE DEEPEST PAIN
DEEPEST LOSS DEEPEST GAIN
FIRST YOU CRY AND YOU BLEED
THEN YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED
REPEAT CHORUS

Not Today
(Regie Hamm)
ONE DAY THEY SAY THE LAND IS GOINT TO MELT
AND FALL INTO THE SEA
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY
THEY SAY IT'S GOING TO BE THE END OF THE LINE
FOR FOOLS LIKE YOU AND ME
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY
CHORUS
TODAY I'M GOING TO FOLLOW THIS HEART OF MINE
HOWEL AT THE MOON
SING IN THE SUNSHINE
WHILE IT'S STILL BURNING ON MY SKIN
KISS MY BABIES
LOVE MY WIFE
GET EVERY MINUTE I CAN OUT OF THIS LIFE
JUST IN CASE I DON'T MAKE IT BACK AGAIN
THEY SAY WE'RE ALL GOING TO LIVE IN PEACE
THEY SAY WE'RE ALL GOING TO LIVE AS ONE
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY
THEY SAY WE WON'T NEED GOD NO MORE
THEY SAY WE WONT NEED HIS CRUCIFIED SON
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY
REPEAT CHORUS
NO THE WORLD AIN'T SLOWING DOWN SPINNING ME AROUND
OH BUT THAT OK BECAUSE EVERY DAYS A NEW REVOLUTION
SOME SAY IT'S GOING TO END IN FIRE
SOME SAY IT'S GOING TO END IN ICE
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY
THAT'LL BE THE END OF WAR
AND PEACE AND LOVE AND LIFE
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY
SING IN THE SUNSHINE
GOING TO KISS MY BABIES
LOVE MY WIFE
GET EVERY MINUTE I CAN OUT OF THIS LIFE
JUST IN CASE I DON'T MAKE IT BACK AGAIN
ONE DAY THEY SAY THE LAND IS GUNNA MELT
AND FALL INTO THE SEA
BUT NOT TODAY NO NOT TODAY

Pictures Of People I Love
(Regie Hamm)
EIGHTEEN IN HER WEDDING DRESS
WITH CAKE ON HER FACE AND HER VEIL WAS A MESS
BEFORE SHE TAUGHT ME TO WALK OR TUCKED ME IN MY BED
PICTURES OF PEOPLE I LOVE
SUMMER DAY UP AT SAGANAW RIDGE
WE ALL GOT CRAZY AND JUMPED OFF THAT BRIDGE
AND IT STILL COMES TO LIFE HANGING THERE ON MY FRIDGE
PICTURES OF PEOPLE I LOVE
CHORUS
PACK UP - MOVE ON
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
AND A FLASH AND IT'S GONE
WE CAN'T STAND STILL
WE TRY TO GO BACK BUT WE NEVER WILL
I HOPE THAT I'VE TAKEN ENOUGH
PICTURES OF PEOPLE I LOVE
SUN COMING UP OVER HURRICANE BAY
THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES AS THE DAWN MET THE DAY
THAT WAS THE MOMENT YOU SWEPT ME AWAY
PICTURES OF PEOPLE I LOVE
CHORUS
TIME FLIES - MOVES ON
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
AND A FLASH AND IT'S GONE
WE CAN'T STAND STILL
WE TRY TO GO BACK BUT WE NEVER WILL
I HOPE THAT I'VE TAKEN ENOUGH
PICTURES OF PEOPLE I LOVE
BRIDGE
SOME ARE WASHED OUT, SOME ARE WORN
OUT OF FOCUS AND SLIGHTLY TORN
FADED COLORS IN BLACK AND WHITE
BUT IT'S MY LIFE
BABY GIRL BORN LAST NIGHT
A MIRACLE CAUGHT IN A MOMENT JUST RIGHT
WRAPPED IN YOUR ARMS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
PICTURES OF PEOPLE I LOVE
REPEAT CHORUS

Leave Something Beautiful Alone (Leaning Tower)
(Regie Hamm)
IF THAT TOWER
WASN'T LEANING IN PISA
IT'D BE JUST ONE MORE STACK
OF FINE, CUT UP STONES
IF IT WASN'T GOING UNDER
IT WOULDN'T BE A WONDER
I SAY LEAVE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ALONE
NOW MONA LISA

WHY SHE NEVER LAUGHED OUT LOUD
DaVINCI ONLY KNOWS
BUT AFTER ALL THESE SEASONS
I GUESS A GIRL'S GOT HER REASONS
I SAY LEAVE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ALONE
CHORUS
DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE
DON'T CHANGE A THING
YOU'RE LOOKING JUST ABOUT PERFECT IN THIS LIGHT YOU'RE MY FAVORITE WORK OF ART AND YOU DON'T NEED NO DOCTORING WHEN YOU THINK YOU LOOK ALL WRONG YOU STILL MAKE ME FEEL ALRIGHT

HE LOVES TO PUT IT ON
SO BEFORE HE KNOWS HE'S DIRTY
SCARED, UPTIGHT AND THIRTY
I SAY LEAVE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL ALONE
REPEAT CHORUS
SO LET ALL THE COWBOYS
KEEP ON RIDING THEM FENCES

YOU HEARD THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL ON THE RADIO
NOT THAT LONG AGO, OR SO IT SEEMS
YOU HAD YOUR NEW CHUCK TAYLORS ALL LACED UP TIGHT
GOOD TIMES IN BLACK AND WHITE, JUST LIKE YOUR DREAMS
JUST ANOTHER WHITE BOY RAISED ON WONDER BREAD
BIG THOUGHTS RUNNING THROUGH YOUR HEAD
SOMEHOW THEY SLIPPED AWAY
CHORUS
STARLIGHT, STAR BRIGHT
CAN YOU TAKE ME BACK HOME, TAKE ME BACK HOME TONIGHT
STARLIGHT, STAR BRIGHT
CAN YOU TAKE ME BACK HOME, TAKE ME BACK HOME TONIGHT
YOU SANG KUMBAYA ON A MOUNTAINTOP
YEAH, YOU HAD SODA POP AND BAD TV
HAD A LONG-HAIRED UNCLE BACK FROM VIETNAM
STRONG DADDY AND A PRETTY MOM, AND LOVE WAS FREE
DIDN'T TAKE MUCH TO KEEP YOUR HOPES ALIVE
JUST JESUS AND THE JACKSON FIVE
SOMEHOW THEY SLIPPED AWAY
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
YOU KNOW I'VE HAD ENOUGH PRIME TIME, BIG TIME
FULL TIME, SHOW TIME
HARD CORE, SOFT SELL
DIE HARD, LIVE WELL
HEARD THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL ON THE RADIO
NOT THAT LONG AGO - OR SO IT SEEMS
REPEAT CHORUS

Don't Know Much About Love
(Regie Hamm)
I WOULD LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE
I WOULD CRAWL THROUGH THE NIGHT TO YOU
JUST TO FEEL YOUR EMBRACE
I WOULD GIVE UP MY HOPES AND DREAMS
JUST TO MAKE YOURS COME TRUE
CHORUS
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT LOVE
DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT LOVE
BUT I THINK IT FEELS SOMETHING LIKE THIS YEAH, I THINK IT FEELS SOMETHING LIKE THIS
I FIND REASONS TO LIVE AGAIN
WHEN I HEAR YOUR SWEET VOICE
I WILL BATTLE THIS WORLD FOR YOU
YOU SIMPLY LEAVE ME NO CHOICE
CAUSE I'M ELECTRIC AND BORN AGAIN
WHEN YOU TAKE MY HAND
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED
EVERYTHING YOU LACK
AND I WILL PICK UP ALL YOUR TROUBLE
AND CARRY IT ON MY BACK
EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN RUNNING FROM
I WOULD RUN BACK INTO
EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BECOME
I WOULD CHANGE IT FOR YOU
I WOULD JUMP FROM THE HIGHEST HIGHTS
JUST TO BREAK YOUR FALL
REPEAT CHORUS

The Water Is Free
(Regie Hamm)
ADAM SAT BY THE CREEK BANK
AND HE STARTED TO THINK
"I'M FEELING KIND OF THIRSTY
THINK I'LL TAKE A DRINK
I SOLD MY SOUL JUST TO EAT FROM THAT TREE THANK GOD THE WATER IS FREE"
MOSES STOOD BY THE SEASHORE
WITH HIS BACK TO THE WALL
HE SAID "LORD THIS PHAROH
IS GONNA KILL US ALL
I'M GONNA STRETCH OUT MY ARMS, GONNA PART THIS RED SEA THANK GOD THE WATER IS FREE"
CHORUS
AND THE WATER IS RUSHING
FROM A WELL THAT'S GUSHING
AND COMING STRAIGHT DOWN
FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
THERE'S A HARD WIND BLOWING
BUT THE RIVER KEEPS FLOWING
IT'S A RIVER OF PEACE
IT'S A RIVER OF LOVE
THOUGHT I'D DRINK ME A BOTTLE
OF SOCIETY'S WINE
LITTLE FAME AND FORTUNE
I THOUGHT WOULD TASTE SO FINE
BUT WHEN THE PRICE GETS TOO HIGH FOR A BEGGAR LIKE ME ...I JUST THANK GOD THE WATER IS FREE
REPEAT CHORUS
FOR EVERY SOUL THAT'S THIRSTY
FOR EVERY SOUL THAT'S DRY
THERE'S A FOUNTAIN FLOWING
FROM A PLACE ON HIGH
WHERE YOU CAN DRINK ALL YOU WANT, IT'S SWEET AS CAN BE ...AND YOU CAN THANK GOD THE WATER IS FREE
THANK GOD THE WATER IS FREE
COMING ON DOWN FOR YOU AND ME
THANK GOD THE WATER IS FREE
COMING ON DOWN FOR YOU AND ME

Orphan's Lullaby
(Regie Hamm)
SAINT LUKE'S HOME FOR KIDS WAS A FINE PLACE TO LIVE
THERE WERE CLEAN SHEETS AND THREE SQUARES A DAY
FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL AND TV AT NIGHT
YEAH PARADISE FOUND SOME WOULD SAY
BUT WE WERE MOTHERLESS, FATHERLESS, ACCIDENTS ALL.
NO ONE TO TUCK US IN TIGHT
THEY TAUGHT US TO PRAY
AND THEY TAUGHT US TO SING
SO WE SANG THIS PRAYER EVERY NIGHT
CHORUS
GOD BLESS THE BABIES IN CHINA
GOD BLESS THE BABIES IN AFRICA TOO
AND ALL THROUGH THE WORLD
EVERY BOY EVERY GIRL
GIVE'EM SWEET DREAMS
MAKE'EM COME TRUE ONE DAY
GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN OF ENGLAND
RUSSIA, AND INDIA, AND RIGHT HERE AT HOME
THE NUMBER ONE THING
IT'S BETTER TO SING
WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY
THIS ORPHANS LULLABY
WE PLAYED THROUGH THE SUMMER INTO THE FALL
UNTIL CHRISTMAS WAS SOON ON IT'S WAY
SENT ALL OUR LETTERS TO THE NORTH POLE
AND WE'D PATIENTLY WAIT ON THE SLEIGH
AND THERE WERE CHURCHES AND CHARITIES
BRINGING US TOYS THEY WERE SINCERE I BELIEVE
SOON THEY WOULD GO, THE LIGHTS WOULD(WENT) DOWN LOW
AND WE'D THING THIS EACH CHRISTMAS EVE
REPEAT CHORUS
AND ALL THROUGHT THE WORLD
EVERY BOY EVERY GIRL
GIVE'EM SWEET DREAMS
AND MAKE'EM COME TRUE
RIGHT HERE AT HOME
THE NUMBER ONE THING
ITS BETTER TO SING
WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY
THIS ORPHANS LULLABY

Time Of My Life (BONUS)
(Regie Hamm)
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MY DREAMS TO
TURN INTO SOMETHING I COULD BELIEVE IN AND LOOKING FOR THAT MAGIC RAINBOW ON THE HORIZON I COULDN'T SEE IT UNTIL I LET GO, GAVE IN TO LOVE - AND WATCHED ALL THE BITTERNESS BURN NOW I'M COMING ALIVE, BODY AND SOUL AND FEELING MY WORLD START TO TURN AND I ...
CHORUS
TASTE EVERY MOMENT AND LIVE IT OUT LOUD
I KNOW THIS IS THE TIME
THIS IS THE TIME TO BE
MORE THAN A NAME OR A FACE IN THE CROWD
I KNOW THIS IS THE TIME
THIS IS THE TIME OF MY LIFE
TIME OF MY LIFE
HOLDING ONTO THINGS THAT VANISHED
INTO THE AIR LEFT ME IN PIECES BUT
NOW I'M RISING FROM THE ASHES - FINDING MY WINGS AND ALL THAT I NEEDED WAS THERE ALL ALONG - WITHIN MY REACH CLOSE AS THE BEAT OF MY HEART ...
AND I ...
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
I'M OUT ON THE EDGE FOREVER
READY TO RUN
I'M KEEPING MY FEET ON THE GROUND,
ARMS OPEN WIDE,
FACE TO THE SUN ...
REPEAT CHORUS
