    Don't look back
    A new day is breakin'
    It's been too long since I felt this way
    I don't mind where I get taken
    The road is callin'
    Today is the day

    I can see
    It took so long to realize
    I'm much too strong
    Not to comprimise
    Now I see what I am is holding me down
    I'll turn it around

    I finally see the dawn arrivin'
    I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
    Far away and left behind

    It's a new horizon and I'm awakin' now
    Oh I see myself in a brand new way
    The sun is shinin'
    the clouds are breakin'
    'Canse I can't lose now, there's no game to play

    I can tell
    There's no more time left to critize
    I've seen what I could not recognize
    Everthing in my life was leading me on
    but I can be strong

    I finally see the dawn arrivin'
    I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
    Far away and left behind

  • The Journey

    Instrumental

  • It's Easy

    Hey
    I've got no place to be
    And no one I'd rather see
    I won't mind if you can find
    The time to stay with me
    Oh I've got no time for wastin'
    Gotta live a life when I can
    I won't hide if you decide
    To let me be your man

    When I get close to you, not much to say
    I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days

    And I can show you the way
    It's just a game we play
    It's easy, takin' it day by day

    Hey
    You know I would concede
    And I think we both agree
    You and I can testify
    That love is what we need
    Just take a look around you, livin' for the future is blind
    I believe what we can achieve will soon be left behind

    The things I try to say are so hard to find
    If you doubt what your love is about it can ease you mind

    And I can show you the way
    It's just a game we play
    It's easy, takin' it day by day

    Hey
    I've got no place to be
    And no one I'd rather see
    I won't mind id you find
    That you're in love with me
    Well we got no time to worry
    Gotta live a life when I can
    I won't hide if you decide
    To let me be your man

    And I can show you the way
    It's just a game we play
    It's easy, takin' it day by day

  • A Man I'll Never Be

    If I said what's on my mind
    You'd turn and walk away
    Disappearing way back in your dreams
    It's so hard to be unkind
    So easy just to say
    That everything is just the way it seems

    You look up at me
    And somewhere in your mind you see
    A man I'll never be

    If only I could find a way
    I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
    And it gets harder every day for me
    To hide behind this dream you see
    A man I'll never be

    I can't get any stronger
    I can't climb any higher
    You'll never know just how hard I've tried
    Cry a little longer
    And hold a little tighter
    Emotions can't be satisfied

    You look up at me
    And somewhere in your mind you see
    A man I'll never be

    If only I could find a way
    I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
    And it gets harder every day for me
    To hide behind this dream you see
    A man I'll never be

  • Feelin' Satisfied

    Oh that funky feelin'
    Is what you need to get you through
    You oughta know
    I'll tell you somethin'
    Don't let your troubles get to you
    'Cause win or lose it's alright
    Well take control
    And nothin's gonna help you more than rock 'n' roll

    So come on
    Put you hands together
    You know it's now or never
    Take a chance on rock 'n' roll

    Ooo are you feelin' satisfied

  • Party

    Well you know I don't get off on workin' day after day
    I wanna have some fun while I'm here
    I play the game when it's goin' my way
    And there's nothin' like a party when it's kickin' into gear

    I'm gettin' ready for a party tonight
    Yes I'm gettin' ready to cruise
    And if you've got somethin' for me
    I've got somethin' for you

    Baby
    It's a party and nobody cares
    What we're doin' there
    Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
    It's a party, party, party!

    I can't believe it when some people say
    That it's a sin that way we live to die
    You know, there's never been a more natural thing
    Yea there's a brand new story, but it's the same old lie

    So come on
    Get ready for the time of your life
    'Cause I'm gettin' right in the groove
    And if you've got somethin' for me
    I've got somethin' for you

    Baby
    It's a party and nobody cares
    What we're doin' there
    Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
    It's a party, party, party!

    Yea yea yea yea get down and party if you need a cue
    You're sure to find one in the crowd
    Just meet some friends and have a toke or two
    In a place where they can never play the music too loud

    Get ready for a party tonight
    'Cause I'm gettin' right in the groove
    And if you've got somethin' for me
    I've got somethin' for you

    Baby
    It's a party and nobody cares
    What we're doin' there
    Baby, it's a party as long as you're there
    It's a party, party, party!

    You know a man doesn't live on bread alone
    He's got to have some lovin' each and every night
    And a woman's got to have it if the truth be known
    Let's get together honey, it's alright

  • Used to Bad News

    Just let me hear it from your lips
    It's the last thing that I'll ask you to say
    Don't wanna hear it from strangers
    If it's over let me have it straight

    I've been used
    But I'm takin' it like a man
    I'm confused
    But I'm doin' the best that I can

    I've been tossed around plenty before
    I've had this heart of mine broken and more
    I can't find a reason for sure
    But I've gotten used to bad news
    (can't find me a reason for sure)

    Don't tell me why
    Yes it's over I can see the end
    But please don't lie
    If you're leavin' me like a friend

    I've been tossed around plenty of times
    And I've read between all the lines
    You're just another in the grand design
    And I've gotten used to bad news

    I know what you're sayin' is bad
    It's not what I wanted but I'm ready for that
    I'm ready for that, yea.

    I've been used
    But I'm takin' it like a man
    I'm confused
    But I'm doin' the best that I can

    I've been tossed around plenty before
    I've had this heart of mine broken and more
    I can't find a reason for sure
    But I've gotten used to bad news
    (can't find me a reason for sure)

  • Don't Be Afraid

    Thinkin' you should hide away

    I know the feelin' that you feel today
