verse 1: Wake up to a new song Been livin' on a promise for too long You've seen this world's unforgiving ways, take better men on their best days But time is the enemy and he never waits chorus: Dare yourself to dream And rise from the ashes of tragedy That brought you to your knees And dare yourself to live And rise from the ashes of yesterday 'Cause tomorrow's never guaranteed verse 2: Rise before it's over Release the past upon your shoulders 'Cause dreams don't ever die, the ghost of what could be keeps asking why Until you believe enough, enough to try chorus: Dare yourself to dream And rise from the ashes of tragedy That brought you to your knees And dare yourself to live And rise from the ashes of yesterday 'Cause tomorrow's never guaranteed bridge: Rise from lost bets, rise from regret A symphony of voices tearin' you down from within Rise from mistakes, rise from heartache Rise from the ashes you buried yourself in Ooh, ooh chorus: Dare yourself to dream And rise from the ashes Rise baby, rise baby, rise... Dare yourself to dream And rise from the ashes of tragedy That brought you to your knees And dare yourself to live 'Cause life's like a movie on the silver screen So don't you quit until your final scene Dare yourself to dream And rise from the ashes of yesterday 'Cause tomorrow's never guaranteed

verse 1: I’m goin’ places, it’s over today Time to find what has gone astray Not a dime, even a number to call Got my life, baby and that’s about all Tonight verse 2: Build me up just to tear me down Those dirty needles drove me in the ground River of scars tell me where I’ve been They keep me strong when I wanna give in Tonight, alright chorus: Maybe tomorrow, everything will be OK Maybe tomorrow, I’ll wake up in another place verse 3: I’m gettin' better one breath at a time Ain’t no rushin’ to the finish line Flushed the pills and the past down the drain And let the life back into these veins Tonight, alright chorus 2: Maybe tomorrow, everything will be OK Maybe tomorrow, I’ll wise up and I'll find my way Maybe tomorrow bridge: Ran away from the family Severed ties with the friends All I had was an island In the end chorus

verse 1: Life left ya standing, along this highway No stars to light the way home, no map to guide you In the end you must carry your own weight Out of the darkness inside you chorus: So meet me in shelby Where we shall be released And I'll be in shelby Where kindred souls go to meet... tonight verse 2: If you can harbor the demons until dawn I promise a page will turn And chapters will write on chorus 2: And meet me in shelby Where forgotten have been found I'll see you where roses Rise up through stony ground bridge: No medicine to stop the hurt, the pounding in your chest When all you have is your life ahead These world-weary days can be laid to rest chorus 1 & 2 outro: And ride on and fight on Leave everything behind And shine on and shine on Let it all go in time...

Roll On 05:03
verse 1: Outta time, outta hours and days to give Made my bed but I won’t lay in it Tonight I’ll dream in black and white And wake to find that there’s no way back home... chorus: Roll on, leave on your way And know that tomorrow’s another day Roll on, leave on your way And know that tomorrow’s another day verse 2: Wild winds bring sweet songs to me Move along now please don’t wait up for me Two days in the valley of lost souls I came back tellin’ tales of love so low pre-chorus: Came alone and I’ll leave alone Nothing lost that can be found And with the wind, the wind I’m rollin’.. chorus verse 3: Pages and pages I turn Never a word do I learn It ain’t hard, this is not what we need And it just dies while we watch it bleed pre-chorus chorus outro: Pages and pages and pages I turn Never a word do I learn When will I learn When will I learn When will I learn

verse 1: Once again we say goodbye We're like a broken record, baby we both know why And like the swallows we return, girl we loved and lost but we never learn verse 2: We sang our hearts from the rooftops We fought it out in the basement and lost our minds Should I remind you of the reasons why we're better off a season at a time? Pre-chorus: So we say goodbye, don't know why The future's never ours to know This love and hate is always toxic But it's too hard to let go chorus: 'Cause you're a lot of fun for a little while A lot of fun for a little while So lead me back to your door For one more night Just for one more... verse 3: Once again we say hello Our memories never serve us better, that's fo sho But it don't take away a second of the blissful scenes from heaven we've seen pre-chorus: We always say goodbye, don't know why The future's never ours to see This love and hate is forever toxic It's so bittersweet when I leave chorus: 'Cause you're a lot of fun for a little while (yes you are) A lot of fun for a little while So lead me back though your door For one more night Just for one more... solo chorus: 'Cause you're a lot of fun for a little while I said a lot of fun for a little while So lead me back to your door... outro: Restless hearts are always on the mend Restless hearts are always on the mend Restless souls they never mend Restless souls they never mend And the laughter's gonna meet the pain Where I know we're gonna meet again It's where I know we're gonna meet again It's when I know we're gonna meet again... chorus: And you'll lead me back through your door For one more night Just for one more Just for one more...

Hold On 04:39
verse 1: What has been, what’s to come Getting harder to fight for our lives When the world pays no mind Some may say, souls have strayed And a life been betrayed Is a curse that lives on and on Some may save for a day that may never come.. Hold on, baby hold on Hold on, baby hold on verse 2: You may find, that in time That the days become shorter And silence can cut like a knife May be hard to believe What was drawn in your mind Is erased and left you deaf and blind If these walls could tell me just one thing... chorus: Hold on, I’m coming home Rewind and return Hold on, baby hold on Hold on, I’m coming home Rewind and return Baby hold on, baby hold on, baby hold on verse 3: Can't move on, can't rewind And I long for a place So far gone it’s erased in my mind Where to go, what to do When the smile starts to fray And the film in my mind tells the tale Tells the tale If these wall could tell me just one thing.. chorus: Hold on, I’m coming home Rewind and return Hold on, baby hold on Hold on, I’m coming home Rewind and return Baby hold on, baby hold on

Let It Go 04:13
