1. HUMAN ZOO

Look at them all on the inside
Look at them wasting away
Walking around like they're hypnotized
Look , no bars on the cage
This is where they're living
Same as where they'll die
Nothing lasts forever
Can someone draw the line
Do we ever know the reason
Of what lies behind that smile
Take a seat, enjoy the journey
Just relax, I'll lead you through
Through the Human zoo
Through the Human zoo
Well, I hear ‘em cry in the daylight
I hear ‘em scream after dark
A real life jungle atmosphere
Watch ‘em tear each other apart
Cause this is where they're living
Same as where they'll die
Stop it now or never
Can someone draw the line
Do we ever know the reason
Of what lies behind that smile
Take a seat, enjoy the journey
Just relax, I'll lead you through
Through the human zoo
Through the human zoo
Through the human zoo
Through the human zoo


2. WHAT I LIKE

What I like
is to take the highest road that never ends
to hold the moment right here in my hands
yeah, that's what I like
to feel alive
what I like
is to know your body's lying next to mine
to see you smile without a reason why
yeah, that's what I like, that's what I like
it's something that will never end
soul to soul
everything here is all under control
eye to eye
can you see it
can you feel it
what I like
what I like
is to take you on a journey round the sun
I wonder if you'd like to come along
Yeah, well… may be tonight, may be tonight
It's something that will never end
And when it's right you'll understand
Soul to soul
Every thing here is all under control
Eye to eye
Let me show you
All I've told you, yeah
Soul to soul
Everything here is all under control
Eye to eye
Can you see it
Can you feel it
What I like


3. HAVE A LITTLE FAITH

Have a little faith in me
There's no words for what I feel
You'll need a little time to see
Let me prove my love is real
Have a little faith in me
And I'll give it back to you
If I could only make you see
Then every dream would still come true
No matter who's to fight
We gotta hold on tight
I know, there's an answer to my prayer
Gotta feeling like I've never had before
And my love for you can open any door
Have a little faith
I could help you find your way
Cause I know you're not that strong
It isn't just a game we play
Oh , you'll believe before too long
I'll show ya how to love
And to rise above
I'll be every answer to your prayer
If you feel it like you've never felt before
Then all at once you can open any door
Have a little faith
Have a little faith in me
And I'll give it back to you
You'll need a little time to see
We can make the dream come true
No matter who's to fight
We gotta hold on tight
I know, there's an answer to my prayer
Gotta feeling like I've never had before
You know my love for you can open any door
Have a little faith


4. TOP OF THE WORLD

Hello, hello, hello, is there anybody listening in the crowd
Don't think twice, ain't gonna waste no more time
The clock's running , and I see the end of the line
It's calling , so watch me leave ‘em all behind
You can turn me loose, you can call my name
I'll keep climbing higher
I will touch the sky, as the eagle flies
On my way to be there
Right on top of the world
Hello, hello, hello, now I'm rolling like a freight train down the track
Don't look back, don't try to get in my way
Oh I'm coming , well I've got my eye on the flame
And I'm running , cause I was born to play the game
You can turn me loose, you can call my name
I'll keep climbing higher
I will touch the sky , as the eagle flies
On my way to be there
Right on top of the world, oh
B part.
It's not an illusion
This is my one desire
There's no confusion
Well I can set the world on fire
You can turn me loose, you can call my name
I'll keep climbing higher
I will touch the sky, as the eagle flies
On my way to be there
Right on top of the world, oh
I'm on fire
On my way to be there
Right on top of the world


5. JANIE'S NOT ALONE

Hard times, shadow of a street light , dark eyes, stealing to survive
God knows, with a pocket full of hope she goes…
Young life, closing all around her, she'll be twelve, somewhere ‘round June
No chance, for a child growing up too soon
And she never felt love from someone, never had love before
Just another cry of desperation, that no one stands up for
Janie's not alone
She's not the only one, who lives a life in misery
Janie's not alone
All she can do is run, that seems to be her destiny
No mother, no father, she calls for angels, but the angels cry
No chance, I guess that she was born to loose
yeah….
And she never felt love from someone, never had love before
Can we ever stop the tears from falling, so she won't cry no more
Janie's not alone
She's not the only one, who lives a life in misery
Janie's on her own
All she can do is run, that seems to be her destiny
And she never felt love from someone, oh never had love before
Just another cry of desperation, that no one stands up for
Janie's not alone
She's not the only one, who lives a life in misery
Janie's not alone
All she can do is run, that seems to be her destiny
Janie's not alone
But she keeps holding' on, it's not how it was meant to be
Janie's on her own
All she can do is run, that seems to be her destiny
Janie's not alone
Janie's not alone


6. STILL I BELONG TO YOU

Been almost a thousand years, since I started killing time
Every day reminds me how I feel
Couldn't face the ending, so I left it undefined
I was wrong, I was wrong
Now there's nothing I can do
Cause still I belong to you
Took a train to nowhere , now I start the long road back
Look for signs but no real place to go
Oh…
I'll find someone to take me where, you're completely out of view
Lay it down, lay it down
I try to be strong, but still I belong to you
If we had the chance to take it
Could we find the way to make things right
Did I mean that much to you, who-oh
Gotta face the dream is over, that's just the way the story goes
And I can't believe it's true
That still I belong
Still I belong to you
Been almost a thousand years, since I started killing time
In and out of love, I thought was real
I was wrong , I was wrong
Now there's so much more
That I could give to you
If we had the chance to take it
Could we find the way to make things right
Did I mean that much to you
Who-oh
Gotta face the dream is over
That's just the way the story goes
But I can't believe it's true
That still I belong, still I belong to you
To you.. I try to be strong
But still I belong
To you… to you… to you…


7. ONE IN A MILLION

I can't believe it gets so hard, e very single day that we're apart, yeah
I loose control, you know that's true
Say you do, say you will
To make you stay, I'm thinking I would kill, yeah
So take a look, see what you've done
You're o ne in a million, one in a million miles away
Just wanna be near you, wanna be near you now
Near you night and day, oh yeah
Now I can't shake it loose, and I can't break the chain
Read my mind, then you would feel the pain, yeah
Won't you come on home, and set me free
Say you will, say you do
tried a thousand ways just to get to you, oh
And one of these days, I'll turn around, an' you'll be there
You're one in a million, one in a million miles away
Just wanna be near you, wanna be near you now
Near you night and day
B part: ……another chance is all I need
Miles away……gotta stop my heart from bleeding
Miles away……well I got one more card to play
Miles away……I'll lay it down to make you stay
You're o ne in a million
One in a million, one in a million miles away
Just wanna be near you, wanna be near you night and day
One in a million, one in a million miles away
Just wanna be near you, wanna be near you now
Near you night and day, yeah
One in a million


8. NO TOMORROW

Since you've been gone there's a darkness, nowhere a light to be found
The clock on the wall's holding back the time, It's clear that I'm just going down
You and I, were made for one another
And I believed that dream, for too long
All that you left was a letter, I can't get it out of my mind
No more laughter, no more sun, alone at the scene of the crime
Now here I am, searching for forgiveness, yeah
But nothing seems to matter anymore
There's no tomorrow, only fire in the rain
You say you're sorry, but only memories remain

You can't tell me there's a reason, why I should go through all this pain
And once again, once again
I call your name
Love was the wrong destination, and I can't find healing touch
But I won't forsake, I won't give up, g uess I still need you too much
So here we are, strangers to each other
When once we held the whole world in our hands
There's no tomorrow, only fire in the rain
You say you're sorry, but only memories remain
You can't tell me there's a reason, why I should go through all this pain
And once again, once again
I call your name
B part)
You say in this life, no one's wrong, and nobody's right
You say that you need to be free
And that's what is killing me
There's no tomorrow, only fire in the rain
You say you're sorry, but only memories remain
There's no tomorrow, am I the only one to blame
You can't tell me there's a reason, why I should go through all this pain
And once again, once again, I call your name


9. FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME

Time to call another girl in town, time to take all of your pictures down
It's time to let them know, I'm still around
Wish I had the words to say it right , the show is over
Let's just say goodnight, and all the feelings that were locked inside
Are free
Cause it's the
First time in a long time, I'm here on my own
And I'm finding reasons , to carry on strong
There's no easy way to leave it all behind
Cause it's the
First time in a long time
I'll be all right
I might just take a ride on the open sea, a million miles from where I used to be
With every step I take, I do believe ..oh
I see my whole world from the inside out, one more reason not to cry out loud
A new beginning and I'll find my way somehow
Now it's the….
First time in a long time, I'm here on my own
And I'm finding reasons , to carry on strong
There's no easy way to leave it all behind
Cause it's the
First time in a long time
I'll be all right
B part:
I could tell you my story, bout the hell I've been through, oh yeah
I've been praying for the answers, a nd all that really matters
Is coming out of the blue
Cause it's the
First time in a long time, I'm here on my own
And I'm finding reasons , to carry on strong
There's no easy way to leave it all behind
Cause it's the
First time in a long time
It's the , first time in a long time
It's the , first time in a long time
But I'll be all right, I'll be all right
Time to call another girl in town


10. WHERE I BELONG

I've been lost and found, run out of grace
Felt the city's cold embrace, a nd I learned the hard way
How it feels to be lonely
I've seen perfect skies, turn into grey
Had my dreams all washed away
And I realized, what I wanted, was already mine
I'm back to…Where I belong
Been a long time gone, now it feels like home, yeah
You are the one
And none of us is meant to be lonely, lonely
It is strange sometimes, you're unaware
You can't break out, they hold you there
Trying to make you believe , you're somebody else
Always tried to keep my head up high
and memories will never die
I won't lie to myself , so here I am….
I'm back to , where I belong
Been a long time gone, now it feels like home, yeah
You are the one
And none of us is meant to be lonely
b.part
I knew someday, that I would prove that they were wrong
You'd see me running back to you, back to you
I was lonely
Oh…I'm back to
Where I belong
Been a long time gone, now it feels like home, yeah
You are the one
And none of us is meant to be lonely
This is
Where I belong
You're my everything, one and only dream, yeah
You are the one
Cuz none of us is meant to be lonely, lonely, lonely
lonely


11. LONG WAY DOWN

Hey hey hey
I don't believe any word you say
There must be somebody else today
To call on the line
My my my
How many times did you make me cry
You must have taken me for a fool
But that was a lie
Now another chance to say maybe
D'ya think I'm really that crazy
Do I need to tell you why, why, why
I'm thinking it's a
Long way down
Every time I turn around you're headed for a
Long way down
Time, time, time
For you to learn to read the signs
You better stick to your own kinds
Get outta my way
Go, go, go
I've never met anyone so cold
I see you walking along the edge
Falling into the hole
Now an easy thing to discover
No way you're pulling me under
You're head is on the wire, wire, wire
It's gonna be a
Long way down….


12. WHAT CAN I DO

In my thoughts , you're there as ever
In my dreams, we stay together
See your face in every place I go
And here I stand, the great pretender
Borrowed times, I do remember
I need you more than you will ever know
I do complain
To live without your love's to live In vain
What can I do to make you love me
What can I say to make you smile
Won't you gimme that sign I'm waiting after
Don't turn away don't turn away
How will I know this is the right time
How will I feel this is the right place
I'm walking on fire forever, after
So what do ya say what do ya say
Tell me what do ya say
I'll be the one for you to lean on
Fill your mind with things to dream on
One step away to catch you when you fall
You and I , today, tomorrow
Trust your heart and what will follow
Feel the love I'm dying to give to you
I do complain
To live without your love's to live in vain
What can I do….
B part
What will it take to make things right
What can I do to change your mind
Gotta find a way to get to you


13. NEVER SURRENDER (bonustrack)

Same old story, same old game
You hold the power and I
I keep the pain
Yeah I keep the pain
You say wrong when I say right
Saying black when you should say white
Believe me, this fight is all insane
Every time you're in need
You run the way back to me
And the smile on your face
Is an every days mystery
I can't tell you how I feel
What's illusion, what is real
But tonight I won't give up
The role of pretender
I'll give no mercy, not this time
You won't break this heart of mine
Cuz' tonight I won't give up,
I'll never surrender
I need a break, I'm outta here
Time has come to make things clear
Believe me, that's only wasting time
And if I'm wrong so tell me please
I'll go down right on my knees
Believe me, baby baby, believe me
