Return of the Pride

Searching for the truth we need to know Questions in our mind don't always tell us where to go Living with the stories we've been told Learning from the books and all the mysteries they hold We want to find the answers We need to know the truth But if we ever come to realize Two thousand years of lies We are born then we are shown the way Some are free to choose and others worship and obey Some believe in heaven some in hell Angels fly, and beasts defy Religion made to sell Crusaders and defenders Fight the holy war From desert sand to city streets they die- And still I wonder why But I cease to believe It is how it was meant to be And I know that I've made up my mind And follow the way that I want If we read between the lines Will we find the truth in time Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel Trouble at the Tower of Babel Noah built his ark and sailed away Dinosaurs walked the earth Long before the written word But tell me who was Mary Magdalene Darwin and the missing link Those who dare are free to think Earth is turning like a big balloon Somewhere in the universe Far away from our story Maybe there's another world where everything is right Say your prayers Save your soul today Credit card or mail a check How do you want to pay Saints and sinners live the way they choose Blasphemy, profanities who can you accuse Now who has all the answers Who is right who is wrong Walk on water heal the sick and blind In the end what will we find

If you could fly like a bird in the sky Hide in the clouds from the people below If you could fly anywhere that you wanted Tell me where would you go If you could live like a fish in the ocean And never knowing the time or the day If you could be anything that you wanted Even just for a day Everyone sits and wonders What they will never do Now can you hear the thunder It's calling you Dream when your eyes are open Dream when you're sound asleep No one can ever stop you dreaming Dream with your heart is broken Dream when you've given up Nothing should ever stop you dreaming If you could walk on the moon like a spaceman And look on down at the world from above If you could travel the endless journey And go somewhere you love Open your heart and wonder All that you're gonna do Follow the sound of thunder It's calling you Dream when your eyes are open Dream when you're sound asleep No one can ever stop you dreaming Dream with your heart is broken Dream when you've given up Nothing should ever stop you dreaming Dream when your eyes are open Dream when you're sound asleep No one can ever stop you dreaming Dream with your heart is broken Dream when you've given up Nothing should ever stop you dreaming

Early in the morning on a bright December day I was taken from my home and many miles away Twenty years would pass on by and I'd become a man Living as a prisoner in a foreign land Memories something from the past Dreams that come but never last Where am I now Will I ever know Will they ever let me go Set me free why don't you I don't need your chains to hold me Set me free and let me go I don't know what I've done In my cell I dream of freedom Set me free and let me go Foreign faces I don't know will never be my friend I have been here for too long when will this ever end Take me here take me there I don't understand Will you find the things you seek in this broken man Where is home, can I find my way Will they still remember me What am I now Will I ever know Everything from long ago Set me free why don't you I don't need your chains to hold me Set me free and let me go I don't know what I've done In my cell I dream of freedom Set me free and let me go Set me free why don't you I don't need your chains to hold me Set me free and let me go I don't know what I've done In my cell I dream of freedom Set me free and let me go

Let's pack the bags and head on our way There ain't no reason for us to stay We have done everything we can do Now it's time for me and for you There is a big world waiting for us I hope we find what we have lost Look ahead and don't be afraid Where there is love there won't be hate And where there is a rescue There shines a light So we both can find the way From wrong to right And into the fire We touch the flame And always remember we are the same I will Run through your fire and into your hell I will Cause I am your father And you always be my son So much stuff that we have done So many memories so much fun There ain't no limit to what we can do And I will listen and follow you These chains can't be broken These walls won't come down And you have a place right here In this old town Right from the beginning A promise I made That we'd be together through love and hate I will Run through your fire and into your hell I will Cause I am your father And you always be my son My shining star my brave little one What would I do if you were gone I have given my life for you Do you know that I love you I will Run through your fire and into your hell I will Cause I am your father And you always be my son I will Run through your fire and into your hell I will Cause I am your father And you always be my son

He was made for battle Driven by the gun Disobeying orders his ego would be on early grave He was known amongst them by his yellow hair Now he'll shoot his gun for the very last time This will be Custer's last stand What a great day to die And justice will be done And the eagle will fly When the battle has begun And a hero will rise He will be the one they'll all be talking about In a thousand years or more He was born a warrior One of a kind He will always be that Nothing could ever change his mind The spirit can't be broken The heart won't ever change There'll be no retreat No surrender He will not give up the land that is his What a great day to die And justice will be done And the eagle will fly When the battle has begun And a hero will rise He will be the one they'll all be talking about In a thousand years or more There will be no mercy For the wounded soldiers There is nothing they can do But we will remember That their bravery Was their very last mistake From above the battle the sun shines on the dead All the native women are taking scalps from the soldiers heads There is celebration there is victory They will never fight this way again They will never live this free again What a great day to die And justice will be done And the eagle will fly When the battle has begun And a hero will rise He will be the one they'll all be talking about In a thousand years or more What a great day to die And justice will be done And the eagle will fly When the battle has begun And a hero will rise He will be the one they'll all be talking about In a thousand years or more

When the bed is cold as ice And tears are falling from your eyes Afraid to make a move But dying to be touched When the night is getting long And we are blind to what is wrong If only you could see With you I want to be When the questions in your head they are killing you Just remember what I said and promised you promised you I know I know I won't ever let you go And I will love you everyday And I hope I pray There won't ever come a day When we will say goodbye Cause love can never die There are times when nothing works And all you do just getting worse In your mind you've given up But waiting to be found When your hope is gone and lost And you don't know who you should trust You're crying out for help You try to carry on When the time is running out and it's the end Just remember what I said and I promised you promised you I know I know I won't ever let you go And I will love you everyday And I hope I pray There won't ever come a day When we will say goodbye Cause love can never die I know I know I won't ever let you go And I will love you everyday And I hope I pray There won't ever come a day When we will say goodbye Cause love can never die

Give me a car show me a road Let me get out before I'm old Take me away to somewhere new Don't wanna stay been here too long Tired of singing the same ol' song Time for a change before too late And I waited for the phone to ring No check was in the mail I gave it all my everything But now I'm gonna bail I wasted time hanging around Let all the good ones go The dreams I sought I never found And now where did they go I sacrificed I paid the price I fought for what was right And now I come to realize I finally see the light Out on my own doing alright Don't really care where I spend the night What I know is I'm moving on Day by day Town to town You can say I get around I should have done it long ago I followed every word you said But little did I know That one day you would leave me dead With nothing much to show I wasted time hanging around Let all the good ones go The dreams I sought I never found And now where did they go I sacrificed I paid the price I fought for what was right And now I come to realize I finally see the light I wasted time hanging around Let all the good ones go The dreams I sought I never found And now where did they go I sacrificed I paid the price I fought for what was right And now I come to realize I finally see the light

Stand on the outside looking at you Trying so hard calling for you I had been given a place in your heart Now there is something that torn it apart Wandering far blind to the lies Now can't you see that I've opened my eyes Out in the rain I'm calling for you To take me home Out of the cold Back in the warmth of your arms Take me home Love me to death Hold me like never before Somebody told me they saw you alone Looking so empty eyes like a stone Far in the distance I called out your name Hoping that somehow you I'd do the same Wasting the time wasting the day Trying to reach you but you’re far away Deep in the night Ik'm waiting for you To take me home Out of the cold Back in the warmth of your arms Take me home Love me to death Hold me like never before And why was I such a fool That really didn't know You tried to show me many times And let me know Now here I am again knocking on your door Showing you this man is not The way he was before Wandering far blind to the lies Now can’t you see that I’ve opened my eyes Out in the rain I'm waiting To take me home Out of the cold Back in the warmth of your arms Take me home Love me to death Hold me like never before To take me home Out of the cold Back in the warmth of your arms Take me home Love me to death Hold me like never before
