--- Thru Elder Eyes ---
as i sit and talk to you
and realize what you've been thru
the many years and experiences that life has thrown at you
and times have changed with the way people live 
it's just not the same 
i wasn't brought up that way 
and when you talk about the past 
the way things were how life has changed 
i hang on every word 
cuz i know someday 
i will feel the same 
i'm sure i will feel the same 
the stories of the good times 
the tales of hard times and the loses to the hand of greed... you said boy times have changed with the way people live 
it's just not the same 
my parents would never let me turn out that way! 
and when you talk about the past 
the way things were and how life has changed 
i hang on every word 
cuz i know someday i'll feel the same 
and when you say it's not the same 
the little things that are different today 
i take for granted everything cuz i know tomorrow... tomorrow's another day... thru elder eyes 

--- Evolve ---
i heard the news today 
were things that bad had it come to this 
why did you resort to that? 
i guess its up to you to live with regret 
you'll pay the price 
they'll never let you forget 
can't help but to think something i could have said 
something i could have done 
to change these things you have done 
i heard the news today 
it took my breath away 
i can't believe you took a life that way... 
with all the memories we had shared 
i can't believe you threw it all away 
threw it away 
threw it away... 
you threw it all away 
people change 
we all change 
we gotta change!! 

--- What We've Become ---
take your time and come again 
i'll be here with open arms 
we came alive in 1991 
when nothing in our eyes was old 
we set it straight that we will never change 
never really knowing who had control 
old friend my heart 
lets set aside what we've become 
you stand for one 
I'll stand for rock -n-roll 
and that alone will heal your soul 
(what we've become) 
now time has passed 
its getting late 
we surely paved ourselves in change 
but don't forget that i won't forget 
those times you blessed me with your ways 
i wish that everything wouldn't change 
i wish that everything could've stayed the same 
it will never be to late...

--- State of The Art ---
looking back in the rear view mirror 
trying not to let time pass me by 
everything is so much clearer 
now i'm old enough to realize what's at stake 
when will it begin 
how will it end 
why do you feel out of touch 
why do you feel down on your luck 
when will you realize that time is the cure for all your pain and you must go on living everyday 
i remember a time when you couldn't see 
i remember a time when you couldn't believe 
you've got to feel like nothing will ever be the same again where do we go from here 
both paths to choose unclear 
why do you feel out of touch 
why do you feel down on your luck 
you've got to realize that time is the cure for all your pain and you must go on living everyday 
i remember a time when you were in need 
i remember a time when you fell to your knees 
you've got to feel like nothing will ever be the same again lookin back in the rear view mirror 
trying not to let time pass me by 
everything is so much clearer 
now i'm old enough to realize whats at stake... 
what's at stake...
couldn't be what you wanted me to be 
couldn't be what you wanted...

--- Bartlett ---
everyday everyday when we were young 
thats were we played 
where we played and had some fun 
they took it away 
took it away cuz some where dumb 
they took it away
now theres none 
you can't take it away 
for some mistake a kid made 
we're not to blame 
but we'll suffer the same 
we're not to blame but we will suffer anyways 
just lookin for an excuse to keep us down 
they don't like places where everyone hangsout 
where are your childern now 
in the streets all over town 
i hope you're happy now 
where will we go 
what will we do 
we will suffer for things we didn't do 
where will they go 
what will they do 
all the kids left behind with nothing better to do...

--- Everywhere But Here ---
as i take this walk of life 
you know i've never come to peace 
a constant wanting of that dream 
to fly and get right out of here 
i run in place 
all i ever wanted was to sing these songs to you 
all you ever did was turn away 
at home but never quite at home 
i've lost my way 
put me down for angels wings 
i'd love to hear them sing 
that would take away the pain 
so if you ask me how i am 
how are you? 
everywhere but here my friend is where i want to be! 
thats nice, who are you? 
there is a world out there that will never feel the same 
i try but the bitterness remains 
i hope you get to meet the stars 
i know you'll be amazed 
if you ever think of me 
i hope you'll save a seat 
oh no, there i go again 
i want to have a change of heart 
i want to fix the things that are tearing me apart 

--- Rebound ---
looking down on myself in the mirror 
as its looking back at me 
i don't see what i want to see 
so how can i believe in myself 
look what its done to me 
look at what you have done to me 
life isn't always what you make it 
so don't just wait around and try and fake it 
you won't fool no one but yourself 
you won't be able to blame no one else 
how will i make it thru each day 
some how i'll find a way to make it thru this maze 
my life it complicates 
you said you can't feel that way 
that life had led you astray 
you said you'd be there for me 
but that doesn't seem to be reality 
believe me i'm not alone 
there's still love for me at home 
just cuz you're not around 
i won't let that keep me down 
you let me down... 
i'll pick myself back up again 

--- Alliance ---
it would be nice for once in my life 
to have you on my side not in direct competition 
don't you realize you can't do this on your own 
it's time to divide control 
with these lessons we learn 
i don't want the bridge to burn 
it was just a matter of time before you realized 
if we try we'll make it 
just a matter of time for the wounds to mend 
hopefully you'll see we can make it work togther 

--- We Will Be Strong ---
How many times has it blown up in your face 
to bring tears of sadness 
how many times did you think you went too far 
how many times were you backed down by your fears 
you just turned and walked away 
how many times have you had a broken heart 
how many times have you felt that you were lost 
in this world of madness 
how many times have you felt like you could die 
how many times have you watched the falling rain 
of the dreams you gave up 
how many friends have you had to wish goodbye 
I can't relate to these matters at hand 
we try so hard to do the best we can 
please take my hand 
I 'll always be there 
we will be strong 
so many things that i wish i'd never said 
and i will always regret 
so many things that i wish i'd never done 
so many friends that i wish i didn't miss but i will never forget 
so many times i have wished it was my turn 
i can't relate to these matters at hand 
we try so hard to do the best that we can 
please take my hand 
i'll always be there 
we will be strong to do the best that we can 
the best that we can 
day in day out 
i will survie with strength in my faith 
i will get by 

--- Somtimes ---
we live in vain 
we feel the strain 
it seems theres nothing left to give 
we're sick to death 
we're sick of life 
it seems its trying to get us down 
sometimes this life just gets to me 
when i think of the times i turned away 
sometimes this life just gets to me 
when i think of the chances i didn't take 
we'll carry on
the only way we know how 
we've had good times 
we've had bad and yet we have lived them day by day 
we've gained some friends and lost some too 
most we'll miss i am sad to say 
sometimes this life just gets to me 
when i think of the time that was poorly spent 
sometimes this life just gets to me 
when i think of the things i could've been 
i could've been 
we'll carry on the only way we know how
