Me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could

now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it

so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
waiting on the world to change

now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want

that's why we're waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

we keep on waiting
waiting on the world to change

No i'm not the man i used to be lately
see you met me at an interesting time
if my past is any sign of your future
you should be warned before i let you inside

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever will get you through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you

i will beg my way into your garden
i will break my way out when it rains
just to get back to the place where i started
so i can watch you back all over again

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever will get you through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you

who do you love?
who do you love?
who do you love me or the thought of me? me or the thought of me?

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever will get you through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you

hold on to whatever you find baby
hold on to whatever gets you through through
hold on to whatever you find baby
i don't trust myself with loving you
i don't trust myself with loving you
i don't trust myself with loving you
i don't trust myself with loving you

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers
Changing their mind from
The paint on a sign
Is there anyone who
Really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time

Oh everyone believes
In how they think it oughta be
Oh everyone believes
And they’re not going easy

Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching underwater
You never can hit who you trying for
Some need the exhibition
Some have to know their trying
It’s the chemical weapon for the war
That’s raging on inside

Oh everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Oh everyone believes
No one’s going quietly

We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this is
If belief is what we’re fighting for
We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this is
If belief is what we’re fighting for

Is there anyone who
Can remember
Ever surrendering
With their life on the line

What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
Belief can
Belief can
What puts a folded flag inside his mother’s hands?
Belief can
Belief can

Gravity, is working against me
And Gravity, wants to bring me down
Oh, Ive never known what makes this man
With all the love that this heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Whoa, Gravity is working against me
And Gravity, it wants to bring me down
Oh, twice as much aint twice as good
And cant sustain like one half could
Its wanting more that's gonna set me to my knees

Guitar solo

Twice as much aint twice as good
And cant sustain like one half could
Its wanting more that's gonna set me to my knees

Whoa Gravity, stay the hell away from me
And Gravity, has taken better man than me
Now how can that be
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But, then your circle of friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

Some of us, We're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from
Being just a number
How do I hold my head
To keep from going under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

How did they find me here
What do they want from me
All of these vultures hanging
Right outside my door
I hear them whisperin
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long
Without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

(solo)
Wheels up
I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to keep these vultures
Out of my tree(sometimes he says trail)
Powers is made, by power being taken
I keep on running
To protect(sometimes he says control) my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but
I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes
To take me even higher
Then I'll come through
Like I do
When the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing

Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Oooooooooooo
Whatcha gonna do about it
Whatcha gonna do about it

No i'm not color blind
i know the world is black and white
try to keep an opened mind i just can't sleep on this tonight
stop this train i want to get out and go home again
i can't take the speed it's moving in
i know i can
but honestly will someone stop this train

don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
one generation's length away
from fighting life out on my own
come on stop this train
i want to get off and go home again
i can't take the speed it's moving in
i know i can but honestly won't someone stop this train

so afraid of getting older
i'm only good at being young
so i play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
had a talk with my old man
said help me understand
you sit down 68 you'll renegotiate
don't stop this train
don't follow it moves the place you're in
i don't think i could ever understand
i tried my hand
john, honestly we'll never stop this train

see once in a while when it's good
it'll feel like it should
when you're all still around
and you're still safe and sound
and you don't miss a thing so you cry when you're driving away in the dark.

singing stop this train i want to get out and go home again
i can't take this speed it's moving in
i know i can
cause now i see i'll never stop this train

(think i got 'em now)

It's not a silly little moment
It's not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dyin breath of
This love we've been workin on

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms
Nobody's gonna come and save you
We pulled too many false alarms

We're goin down
And you can see it too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed
My dear
We're slow dancing in a burnin room

I was the one you always dreamed of
You were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it's nothing to me
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw

I'll make the most of all the sadness
You'll be a bitch because you can
You try to hit me just hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand

We're goin down
And you can see it too
We're goin down
And you know that we're doomed
my dear
We're slow dancing in a burnin room

Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
Go cry about it why don't you
My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room,
Burninl room, burnin' room
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we oughta know by now
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow

Anger, he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
the once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on

But they're all, they're bold as love,
yeah, they're all , they're bold as love
they're all , they're bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes
trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But it's very unsteady for the first go 'round

My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But, I'm, I'm bold, I'm bold as love
Yeah, I'm bold, I'm bold as love
I'm bold, I'm bold as love
Just ask the axis
he knows, he knows
he knows, he knows everything

I'm bold, I'm bold as love, yeah
I'm bold, I'm bold as love
Hear me talking to ya
I'm bold, I'm bold as love, yeah

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
the waking up is the hardest part
you roll outta bed and down on your knees
and for the moment you can hardly breathe
wondering was she really here?
is she standing in my room?
no she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

when you're dreaming with a broken heart
the giving up is the hardest part
she takes you in with your crying eyes
then all at once you have to say goodbye
wondering could you stay my love?
will you wake up by my side?
no she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
baby won't you get them if i did?
no you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

when you're dreaming with a broken heart
the waking up is the hardest part

Too many shadows in my room
too many hours in this midnight
too many corners in my mind
so much to do to set my heart right
oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
oh but if i take my heart's advice
i should assume it's still unsteady
i am in repair, i am in repair

stood on the corner for a while
to wait for the wind to blow down on me
hoping it takes with it my old ways
and brings some brand new look upon me
oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
oh but if i take my heart's advice
i should assume it's still unsteady
i am in repair, i am in repair

and now i'm walking in a park
all of the birds they dance below me
maybe when things turn green again
it will be good to say you know me

oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
oh but if i take my heart's advice
i should assume it's still unready
oh i'm never really ready, i'm never really ready
i'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
i'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there

It's been your word, you made your stand
you got me crying, as well as you planned
but when my loneliness is through, i'm gonna find another you

you take your sweaters
you take your time
you might have your reasons but you will never have my rhymes
i'm gonna sing my way away from blue
i'm gonna find another you

when i was your lover
no one else would do
if i'm false to find another i hope she looks like you
yeah and she's nicer too

so go on baby
make your little get away
my pride will keep me company
and you just gave yours all away
now i'm gonna dress myself for two
once for me and once for someone new
i'm gonna do somethings you wouldn't let me do
oh i'm gonna find another you

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ‘em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead,
If you only could . . .

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You'd better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say [x24]
