1 . FREE AND ALIVE

Don't you realize
You get up every morning
And your children's fine
Too busy making money
To notice that the sun has rised again, oh yeah

But it's in the human nature to complain
When we should understand
Some others live a live not half as good
Just waiting for their end

But I'm free and alive
I'm free and alive

Don't you realize
You're living in a place you call home
And you're never satisfied
Cuz the neighbour has
What you where dreaming of... For long

There are times
When I can't take it anymore
Why don't we understand
The simple things in live
Can give us more, more than we pretend

But I'm free and alive
I'm free and alive

But I'm free and alive
I'm free and alive


2 . VISION

So now that you're gone away
Now that you're not around me
I'm trying hard to hide this emptiness

Every heartache leaves a scar, a trace behind it
And God, I only put the blame on me

Are you really there, or just a vision?
Are you really there, or just a dream?
Just a vision
Are you really there for me?

You gave what you had to give
I took it all for granted, yeah
Every now and then I feel you're there
When I'm layin' at bed at night
I could swear you're there beside me
Another sleepless night I'm wasting, wondering

Are you really there, or just a vision?
Are you really there, or just a dream?
Am I going to take the right decision?
Just a vision
Are you really there for me?


3 . GOT TO BE LOVE

You love to show the people what you got
And it's hurting me again, yeah yeah
'Cuz I never found the words to let you know
To me you're more than just a friend, you know

Desperation callin'
I hear it everywhere
Fallin' deep in trouble
Screamin' I'll be there
There's gotta be an answer
To my burning flame
No way to get over
I'm in the game

[Chorus:]
It's gotta be love, and that's all right
It's gotta be love, maybe just one day
It's gotta be love, got the feeling that I can't go wrong,
Go wrong, can't go wrong

Captured by the beauty of your smile
Why don't you set me free? Oh yeah
Can't wait any longer for I know
That you belong to me

Desperation callin'
I hear it everywhere
Fallin' deep in trouble
Screamin' I'll be there
There's gotta be an answer
To my burning flame
No way to get over
I'm in the game

[Chorus]

Sometimes I think I can't hold on another day
Sometimes I think I'm born again
Sometimes I wish you'd know how much you mean to me
Someday love will light the way
Love will light the way, Oh yeah

[Chorus] (x2)


4. LET IT RAIN

Lady Jane
Will we ever meet again
The times we had
I count 'em day by day
All the pain
That we gave each other then
Was not enough to wanna make us run

Who did say this life will last forever
We're standing at the crossroad once again
All the things in life are
Growing slowly in progress
I know, we got to listen to the flow

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend

We walk this path, slowly step by step
We don't have to force it, just believe
There's a place deep inside
Where we've never been before
I know we can be there, you 'n me

Who did say this life will last forever
We're standing at the crossroad once again
All the things in life are
Fading slowly in progress
I know, we got to listen to the flow

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend
Let it rain, let it rain
'Cause I know we'll meet again
Freedom will be there in the end

Hope you find your paradise
I wish you all the best of times
Have faith in love and please don't cry

Let it rain, let it rain
Till the sun comes back again
The answer is your only friend
Let it rain, let it rain
'Cause I know we'll meet again
Freedom will be there in the end


5. BLACKBERRY WAY

Blackberry way
Absolutely pouring down with rain
It's a terrible day
Up with the lark
Silly girl I don't know what to say
She was running away

So now I'm standing on the corner
Lost in the things that I said
What am I supposed to do now ?

Chorus:
Goodbye Blackberry way
I can't see you
I don't need you
Goodbye Blackberry way
Sure to want me back another day

Down to the park
Overgrowing but the trees are bare
There's a memory there
Boats on the lake
Unattended now the laughter drowned
I'm incredibly down

Just like myself they are neglected
Turn with my eyes to the wall
What am I supposed to do now ?

[Chorus]
So full of emptiness without her
Lost in the words that I said
What am I supposed to do now ?

[Chorus]


6. YOU

Something's wrong, doctor please
Got a strange heart disease
And I desperately need to get over
This temptation

There she stands day by day
And my life turns away
It was love at the first sight
And I know this won't come easy

Couldn't move, I was petrified
Couldn't talk, when she passed me by
Now she's constantly part
In my thoughts, in my heart
Can't hold another day

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
It's all the same
Everytime I call your name

Certain things meant to last
Some others, part of the past
I know that I can't be wrong
Lovin' you

So gimme a chance, a little sign.... And I know
That one day you're mine
I want you to know no way I let go
Surrender to my love

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
It's all insane
Everytime you play that game

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
Its all the same

All I want is you, you, you
Nobody else but you, you, you
Come rain and shine
It's all insane
Everytime you play that game


7. CHEAT & HIDE

Looking back I wonder
How long have you being lying to me
Guess, no matter how hard I try
I'll never solve the mistery

Our life is a game
A game we play
Which rules I've never seen
And day after day
Night after night
Makes me wanna scream

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna die
For a woman like you no more
I had it all before
I will take it no more
Gotta stop this cheat'n hide

Who said we're in for trouble
All I know he sure was right
We start a night in heaven, and
We end it in a fight

Our life is a game
A game we play
The winner takes it all
But lady luck is blindfold
Your back's against the wall

[Chorus] (x2)

No I don't wanna die, no more.


8. WANT YOU IN

Ain't no black ain't no white
There's no left and no right
Ain't no justice without crime
Got no song to sing without a rhyme

Got to have a little faith in me
Need some time to get the picture clear
I can't explain, I just don't know
Why I need you when I want you to go?

I want you in, I want you out
There's no solution to my endless doubt
Everytime I'm claimin' victory
Hold on baby, gotta hold on me
Hold on me

There's no courage without fear
Can't be gone, if you see me here
I'm confused endlessly
'Cuz you're not, where I want you to be?

Got to have a little faith in me
Need some time to get the picture clear
I can't explain, I just don't know
Why I need you when I want you to go?

I want you in, I want you out
There's no solution to my endless doubt
Everytime I'm claimin' victory
Hold on baby, gotta hold on me
Hold on me

Now you're gone, and I just don't know
Why you left, when I love you so

I want you in, I want you out
There's no solution to my endless doubt
I want you in, I want you out
I'm going crazy, makes me scream 'n shout

I want you in, I want you out
There's no solution to my endless doubt
Everytime I'm claimin' victory
Hold on baby, gotta hold on me

I want you in,
I want you out.


9. TELL NO LIES

Lord above, what have you done
To this lonely heart o'man
Frightened to the bone
That's how it all began

He bought a colt, a 38
To gain security
He'd only have one mission
Protect the family

His son is only 13
And... He's playing "Judgment Day"
Alike the late night movie
Blows someones head away

Daddy told him how to load
And pull the trigger now
Then left him on it's road again
For more respect in town

Chorus:
Don't tell no lies
Like you use to do
Don't tell no lies
We're not save anymore
We need understanding
Respect, and help us god
So don't tell no lies... No more

Won't somebody tell me
Where do we go from here
Spreading seeds of hate
Growing only fear

It's a race against the time
The many things undone
Still we look at justice
Trough the barrel of a gun

[Chorus]

There must be an answer to this everlasting "Why"
It's getting harder everyday, no matter how I try

[Chorus]


10. BACK TO YOU

Blue eyed sister mercy
Beautiful queen of the night
You make me feel like a stranger
Then you're holding me tight

Got me under your law
And there's nothing you can guarantee
Before the day is over
You'll turn your pretty back on me, yeah

Time and again into trouble
Livin' a lie on your own
Hunting like a thief in the night
Like a dog for the bone

It's gonna take a little time
And time is all you need
You live a life pretending
And what you cannot get you steal
Gonna get it with a rhyme
Gonna pay for what you've done
Cuz all from good to evil, baby
It's coming back to you

You got no sure destination
Playin' the game far too long
Of use and abuse, no time to loose
But that's wrong, so wrong

Why don't you open your eyes and see
I'm not asking for some charity
Another day is over
I just wanna set you free

It's gonna take a little time
And time is all you need
You live a life pretending
And what you cannot get you steal
Gonna get it with a rhyme
Gonna pay for what you've done
Cuz all from good to evil, baby
It's coming back, It's coming back, It's coming back
To you

It's gonna take a little time
And time is all you need
You live a life pretending
And what you cannot get you steal
Gonna get it with a rhyme
Gonna pay for what you've done
Cuz all from good to evil, baby
It's coming back to you. (x2)


11. BEST TIME

Tell me how long
When it's gonna end
Time and again
These are the words I understand

Livin' with me
Must have been a sacrifice
But it's easy to pretend
To be someone's helping hand, Yeah

Now that you turn
On your way to be free
Baby, stars are fallin' down
Now that you're gone
You mean a whole world to me
Baby, there's nothing left to say

[Chorus:]
We've got our best time together
And now you walk out from me
Though we can't go on forever, you should know
There will always be a place in my heart

You said it was me
With broken promises
That kept you from livin'
And here I must confess

The sun doesn't shine
The colours fade away
And I start to realize
That's the price I have to pay

Now that you're gone
You mean a whole world to me
Baby, there's nothing left to say

[Chorus]

...Oooohhhh...

[Chorus] (x2)


12. HEY JIMI

Every night I walk the streets step like my soul
And I pick up the pieces you left so long ago.
You gave me a face, you gave me your hand
One night I made love in electric lady land.

Hey, I can start a fire, but I can't keep the flame.
Now I can get much higher.
Hey Jimi, where the hell are you?

I'm searching to ride out with my voodoo style
Foxy lady I keep coming when I kiss the sky
You gave me stone free, gave me battle haze
And a little wing strong get so, I need today.

Hey, I can start a fire, but I can't keep the flame.
Now I can get much higher.
Hey Jimi, where the hell are you?

Yeah you read me from the good old days of rock 'n' roll
Well you can tell me so it's right here to sing then come
and mice it all
Like then we play strong the beat of my heart
Now you teach to all how to rock with the black man's soul.

Hey, I can start a fire, but I can't keep the flame.
Now I can get much higher.
Hey Jimi, hey Jimi,
Hey Jimi, where the hell are you?


13. PEACE OF MIND

Carry all the weight upon your shoulders
It's another day in your frantic life
You're just another voice in the crowd
You don't know who you are
Sometimes you don't understand

Nothing's ever what it seems
They sell you wrong for right
All you really need...
Some peace of mind, yeah

Meanwhile all go mad around you
More and more unsatisfied
In the race for progress we've spun out of control
Don't you think this all
Has gone too far...

But life is precious
A gift we shouldn't waste
Go and get yourself
Some peace of mind

Nothing's ever what it seems
They sell you black for white
And the world is upside down

But live is precious
A gift we shouldn't waste
Somebody help me find
My peace of mind

BONUSTRACK

14. MAD LOVE

I can’t remember how it used to be
I’ve spent too many nights alone
I'm confused, since you walked right through that door
And I’m still wondering why I can’t get no more

Made love, that's what I need
It’s like a walk on the wire
Mad love, see how I bleed
You’re still my secret desire, I want you

I got the feeling, I’m still a part of your mind
Yeah, what you see is what you get
So don’t be shy, let the good times roll
Who knows tomorrow might be late for us all

Mad love, that's what I need
It’s like a walk on the wire
Mad love, see how I bleed
I want you by my side

I'm a man, I'm flesh and blood
Sure that ain't no crime
Wanna love and treat you right
We'll have a real good time

Mad love, that's what I need
It's like a walk on the wire
Mad love, see how I bleed
You're still my secret desire

Mad love, that's what I need
It's like a walk on the wire
Mad love, see how I bleed
I want you right by my side
