Picking up the pieces of my life
I wonder why the hell i ever came here
A man without a future left to face
And nothing but a memory to embrace

Holding on to threads of sanity
Imagining the roads i could have taken
It fills me with a deepening sense of shame
And out

Motherland of mine
Once there was a time
You're heart was wild and free

How you've born and bled
To be given up for dead
But you've given life to me

And, when I am still, there is a voice
That emanates from your mysterious hills
As if someone said: "Never forg

You promised things you couldn't give
You took away my will to live
And now the greatest irony
You want to make it up to me

Once you had me spellbound
Once you had me cursed
You were hunger, you were thirst

But i don't belong to you
So spare me the sweet apolo

I am the giver of life
You are the answer to my wildest prayers
My wildest prayers
Born with the right to exist
Into a society that doesn't care

Have I done wrong,
Have I been careless
Bringing you here?

Child to be
Your destiny is waiting
I pass the W

You were yesterday's hero
An ordinary man of flesh and blood
Took the world on your shoulders
A hopeless crusade, an act of love

But it's a world obsessed with religion
And now you wear the face of a god
Like the words you said
You're as good as dead
Just a work

A lifetime away from the here and the now
A shadow is waiting, his body is bound
A man whose existence was stolen away
Who hopes against hope they'll release him some day

Look at you powerful people
Cowering in silence

And it seems clear to me that you're
Fishing

I know by the look
That is in your deep blue eyes
Shining into the depths of my psyche
That ours is a love
That is destined to survive
How could I ever put you behind me?

And when I look up
At a billion stars
I get this feeling
That the future's ours
And

Answers can come too late
And time is not one to wait
I no longer believe
Feelings of deep despair
I tell myself I don't care
It wasn't meant to be

Maybe it's better this way
Maybe it's better than the games we used to play
Maybe it's better this way
Leave b

I was born in the strangest time
I had no roots that i could find
People living in rows and lines
Started me digging

Say, where oh where's the forgotten tree
The many branches of humanity
Whose roots come down to you and me
Why is it hidden?

So i search the ea

I can see the colors
Fading from the sky
When all that's left between us
Is a world of black and white
Must someone else be wrong
Just for another to be right?
Can you hear me when I say
Don't want to throw it all away

It's now or never
Come together
We'

What will we do
When the lights go out
When the well runs dry
And the oil burns out?

Where will we run
As the oceans rise
'cause the world's heating up
And there's a hole in the sky

If we open up our minds
To the wind upon the hills
To the sun up in th

If paradise is such a fragile affair
Then why have we the lion's share?
As if we walk the Earth alone
Like infants breaking the cradle

There isn't anything we fail to corrupt
The flipside of the Midas Touch
We're walking in a world of glass
With iron footsteps

There is a choice to be made here
There is a will to be known
Either you live your own life
Or follow wherever I go

Nothing's forever
And time always changes everything
Nothing's forever
From pauper to king

So tell me what's the state of play
Do I leave or

A traveler from an ancient land
Spoke of cities in the sand
That rose so high, and then faded away...

How change is like a raging wind
That lives and dies and lives again
And tests the very heart of all we dream

So, what will we create
And what will we destroy

Here where I stand
The final touch is close at hand
On this hallowed ground
The weathered walls are crashing down

If only you could feel my feelings
Then you'd realize

This is the last emotion
I'm gonna feel for anyone else
This is the last emotion
Left wi

Let the wind blow
Blow it all away
Let the sun rise
On a clearer day

I've been chasing myths
But deep down I knew
I've gotta find my way
Find my way back to you

Like the heart of the wild calling
In the cry of the raven
You're the heart of the wild

The things that you could have done
The songs that I should have sung
But it wasn't that easy

The times that you could have stayed
The love that we would have made
No, it wasn't that easy

These, these are the thoughts
That come back to haunt
You late at night<

The only thing for certain
Is that nothing is certain
Is this a new beginning
Or the final curtain?

Whichever way the wind blows
Some seeds grow and some die
I guess I'm just not ready to say goodbye

The summer's getting hotter
And the winter, shorter
Will

There was a time I was so sure
The power of love would prevail
The light at the end of the tunnel
Could not fail

But, now when I look all around me
Feels like the fire has died
And here you are asking the question:
"Will you keep it alive?"

"Can you wake the d

Looking at you
A newborn widow
I hear the voice
Of solitude
Hoping one day
You'll be together
If there's a heaven
If there's a heaven

As I watch the tears run down your face
I can see the youth that years erased
In a house you used to call your home
