01. Brave New World

I've been down this road before
Like a fool coming back for more
But I need what you have in store
I'll be coming through your open door

I have seen those clouds of rain
In the open desert sky
I have tried to ease the pain
And spread my wings and fly

Sometimes I feel like crying
When it falls from my hand
And all our kingdoms turn to sand

But these are the days of wonder
This is our brave new world
This is the spell we're under
This is our brave new world

When you close your weary eyes
And you think of what you had
Then the web of hurt and lies
Has changed from good to bad

Sometimes I feel like dying
When I reach for your hand
And all my kingdoms turn to sand

[Chorus:]
These are the days of wonder
This is our brave new world
This is the spell we're under
This is our brave new world

What is the meaning of it all
What are we waiting for
Is it the calm before the storm
Tell me what lies behind that door

[Chorus 2x]

Brave new world

This is our brave new world

02. Cry No More

When you were tangled in the sheets
Did your soul get burned
Just trying to make ends meet
Now the tide has turned

But I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more

When will you ever realize
You are blessed not cursed
And things you sacrifice
Only make things worse

But I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more
I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more

[Chorus 1:]
Tell me who are the tears for
That fall in your life
And who are you here for
When you see me tonight

Night has fallen once again
Time to break that spell
Can we make it to the end
Only time will tell

But I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more

[Chorus 2:]
And where is that fire
That burned in your eyes
Don't kill that desire
That keeps you alive

[Chorus 1]

If you listen to my heart
If you read my mind
Light will glisten from the stars
If you see the signs

And I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more
I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more

[Chorus 2]

Cry no more
No need to cry no more

No need to cry no more

03. I Believe

Heaven helps
Dreams are shattered
Take my hand
Take my life

When prayers have failed
We're bruised and battered
We'll find that land
We'll leave tonight

Help me see, when I'm blinded
I make your dream pull you through
Make me live, when I'm dying
I spend my days, just for you

One morning, one day
One story, one way

I believe, there's a place for everyone
I believe, we can have it all
We can heal, when we are lost and alone
I believe we can change it all

Lights went on, and blurred my vision
Something knocked me off my feet
It drained the fuel, of my ambition
It left me stranded on the street

One morning, one day
One story, one way

I believe, there's a place for everyone
I believe, we can have it all
We can heal, when we are lost and alone
I believe we can change it all

Heaven waits, the wheels are turning
A little faster every day
A twist of fate, left me yearning
For the one, who lost its way

I believe, there's a place for everyone
I believe, we can have it all
We can heal, when we are lost and alone
I believe we can change it all

04. Back To Life

One more try is wasted
One more lesson learned
Too much fun I've tasted
One more bridge has burned

One more mind is twisted
One more heart is torn
One more lie is whispered
One false truth is born

In my darkest hour
When my trouble has begun

I can't light up the darkness
I cannot kill the pain
Can't turn off the madness
That grows in every man

And all this time we wasted
Love is overdue
Love runs down on empty
Pain will cover you

In the midnight hour
When my love is on the run

But I will try to find it
And it will come to me
I will walk in silence
Until she walks with me

Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
It's coming back to life

I can't deny the hunger
Can't forget the pain
Can't be here much longer
I lost my way again
No straight path is granted
It's a long and dirty road
It may leave me empty handed
Or it may lead me home

But when I try to find it
It will come to me
I will walk in silence
And she will walk with me
I will find the answer
She will make me see

[Chorus:]
Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
Our love is coming back to life
Back to life

One more town behind me
In the fading city lights
Your face still in my rearview
Such a pretty sight
You paint another blue sky
With your million dollar smile
You make another sun rise
Past the highway signs

In my darkest hour
When the trouble has begun
In the midnight hour
When my love is on the run

I will try to find it
And it will come to me
I will walk in silence
And she will walk with me

05. Written In The Sand

I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another day
You really pushed it to the limit
I got stuck in yesterday

[Chorus:]
She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand

I don't wanna wait forever
I just need you here today
Guess you found your little heaven
When your soul got swept away

[Chorus]

On a distant planet
Somewhere far away
It's too much to handle
When you're miles away
I can't seem to stand it
When it's gone astray
I got stuck in yesterday

She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand

[Chorus]

07. Love Never Dies

I've been looking for a reason
I've been looking for a clue
How to help me keep the promise
I once made to you

[Chorus:]
When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies

I've been stayin' on the wild side
Ever since you went away
I've been going on a night ride
Looking for a better day

When you feel the four winds blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies

You can try to find a miracle
You can wish upon a star
When you dive into the wishing well
Just open your heart

[Chorus]

I've been walking on the thin line
Between the right and wrong
I've been looking for a street sign
To lead me back where I belong

When you hear the four winds calling
On your endless desert miles
Remember when you're falling
Love never dies

[Chorus]

08. I Will Be There

Over days of darkness
You shine the light on my way
And in the fields of sadness
You plant a seed, that blooms any day

You wake the dead
I'm out of my head
You turn the blue sky red

[Chorus 1]
And I would climb any mountain
Swim any sea
I will be there
To shake your tree
I would hitchhike to heaven
Fly to the sun
I will be there
To bang your drum

Through the tears and the laughter
The river runs to the sea
Through the thirst and hunger
You will give me all that I need

You paint the sky
With blood and desire
You set my heart on fire

[Chorus 2]
And I would climb any mountain
Swim any sea
I will be there
To set you free
I would hitchhike to heaven
Fly to the sun
I will be there
'Cause you're the one

Nowhere to run now
Nowhere to hide from me

In this world we live in
Keep your feet on the ground
Don't give up, don't give in
When there's no more hope to be found

You paint the sky
With blood and desire
You set my heart on fire

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

I will be there
Yeah, I will be there
I will be there
I will be there ...

09. Take Me Through The Night

Going down the open road
To find where I belong
Can't resist the call is much too strong
They're waking up the memories
The shadows are on the wall
Stirring up the mess inside my soul

[Chorus 1:]
We can get it together
You can catch my fall
I can take you higher
Stand above it all

[Chorus 2:]
You can help me through these lonely days
You can take me through the night
You can help me past these lonely ways
You can take me through the night

Take you through the emptiness
And give you something real
Make it past the loneliness you feel
But I'm talking to the walls tonight
I'm waiting by the phone
Call before my heart has turned to stone

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

When the black clouds come and steal the light
You can take me through the night

I'm running through the open fields
I'm lost inside a dream
Drifting like a ship out on the sea
And I'm reaching out with open arms
I'm on the shifting sands
Hoping I can find a second chance

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2 2x]

You can help me
You can help me
You can take me through the night

10. Down The Drain

We share a broken arrow
We share a life
We pray that something better
Will turn this thing around
We are the broken people
We are the ghosts
And I know there ain't nobody
Who can save us now

So let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain

We left the water running
Til' the well was dry
I watch while our life's burning
Flames reach for the sky

So let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain

If you are lost and never found
If you are down and nowhere bound
If your river's black and your sea is green
Let the rain come down and wash you clean

We braved the stormy waters
And the burning sand
We walked on holy water
To find this no man's land

Let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain
[3x]
