Mother, protect me, protect me from myself
Lately, I can't tell, who really are my friends
Burning the candle, the candle at both ends
Through crowds, across floors, each night I just pretend
CHORUS
When the heart rules the mind
One look and love is blind
When you want the dream to last
Take a chance forget the past
Watching the actor that takes the stage by storm
Stealing the limelight while we're in the wings
Sometimes the hero must play the underdog
But I don't feel the same, I must have everything
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Seasons will change
You must move on
Follow your dream

It don't come easy, that's understood
Faint hearted loser, that's no good
Just take a lesson from the great Mohammed
He said, he said
Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
To take a title can be so long
If you believe, you can't go wrong
I said, I said (listen)
He's a fighter, he's my friend
Always winning in the end
He's no angel, he's no fool
Never plays it by the rule
Take the glory, steal the prize
Only the hunter
Only the hunter
You took your chances, you hurt your pride
A sense of failure is hard to hide
You crossed the limit, you broke the code
Back on the road, remember?
He's a rival, he's my friend
Always winning in the end
He's a tiger, he's a swan
He's the one I'm counting on
To take the glory, steal the prize
Only the hunter
Only the hunter survives
I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
Through the lenses then into film
I've got the target set in my sights
I see a vision of truth, look out
We're gonna fight until we drop
We're gonna get back to the top
We're gonna be the first in line
Winners 'til the end of time
Only the hunter
Only the hunter
Survives

I remember everything just the way it was
You and I were almost one, we shared the some road
Talk of love will last forever through the rack and ruin
All the pain and pleasure that lead to our undoing
Here I wait, just to be forgiven
Here I wait until we stand together
Here I wait, trying to cross the borderline
Here I wait until we stand together
Trying for a real solution, tracing back my roots
There I found a different sign that took me by surprise
I had always thought of you as someone I could trust
It came as such a shock to learn, you play life as you must
Here I wait, I can't wait forever
Here I wait where love is sure to find me
Here I wait, trying to cross the borderline
Here I wait until we stand together
I wait for you
I wait for you
(Here I wait) whoah
(Here I wait) I wait
(Here I wait) whaoh
(Here I wait) until we stand together
(Here I wait) whoah
(Here I wait) I wait
(Here I wait) whaoh

I hear thunder from the mountain
Trying to split my personality
I see burning on the hillside
Darkness 'til the break of day
The wind that blows, a Dog that bites
Recurring dreams another night
Underground through the marshes
Got to keep the hounds at bay, I know
Can't move, my feet are frozen
There's a pounding in my head
The horn that sounds, I'm through the door
My body's trembling, turn on the light
CHORUS
Is the mirror lying?
I must decide
If I'm Doctor Jekyll
Or Mr. Hyde
CHORUS

Stop, look and listen
Take it all in
Things you've been doing
Have gotten under your skin
Down on your knees
The phone calls for you
Too many mornings
You're not pulling through
Don't throw away your time
CHORUS
Someday you're gonna fly
To the edge of the world
You just have to believe
You can still get through
Beg, steal, or borrow
Your time's running out
A fight that's worth fighting
When your future's in doubt
Don't throw away your time
CHORUS
I believe
You can still get through
. . .

The question I'm asking
Is what are you planning
The answer that's coming
Better ring true
You say that you need me
Don't know what to believe
BRIDGE
Loving you
Makes nothing easy
After all
The things we want are not the same
CHROUS
Reach out, never say no
Reach out, never say no
Reach out, never say no
Don't need X-ray vision
I see right through you
Your love makes trouble
The seeds of disruption
You're always abusing
The freedom you're given
BRIDGE
CHROUS

Sometimes you want to kick yourself
For letting things get this far
You get no thanks at all
It's just a double-edged sword
We try to keep ourselves detached
It's clear who holds the key
Drifting through the age of reason
Now, your washed up on the shore
Toe the line
It'll only hurt
What are you trying to hide
When you go swimming against the tide?
You'd better toe the line
It's only going to hurt
What a waste of time
Trying to change their world
So toe the line
It seems like everything you went for
Disappeared like purple haze
Can we ever hope for justice
While bitter men hold nothing close to them?
It was fixed before you were here
You'd better (toe the line) toe the line
What a waste of time
Trying to change their world
So toe the line
It's an English custom
. . .

I've been out of touch again
From all that's happening around you
I've become a different man
Can't seem to stand still
It was all a big mistake
Once we were partners in crime
We went off our separate ways
Never performing in time, in time
CHORUS
Imagining (all the lies you were told)
Imagining (they were true, you withold)
Imagining (is it real, or a myth?)
Imagining (in the world that we live)
You were still dependent on
Lovers on your terms, your terms
Could you entertain again?
Could you be losing your freedom, freedom?
CHORUS
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
Imagining
