WE CAN DANCE
1. No Regrets
Thunder cracks, the sky is crying
On her back she’s pushing trying
He holds her hand and kneels beside her bed
Break the silence baby screaming
In slow motion she ain’t dreaming she closed her eyes looked
Up to God and says
Should I cry a little more
Should I try a little more
I’d pay the cost and laugh it off
I’d do it all a thousand times again
No Regrets
Livings hard and dying’s easy
My mistakes they won’t defeat me
I like to burn the candle at both ends
I’ve broke some hearts been broken hearted
I’ve run away from fires I’ve started
I didn’t break but tried my best to bend
Should I cry a little more
Should I try a little more
I’d pay the cost and laugh it off
I’d do it all a thousand times again
No Regrets
No regrets-for things I’ve done
No regrets-for wars I’ve won
No regrets-for fires I’ve started
No regrets-for faith departed
Should I cry a little more
Should I die a little more
Should I lie a little more
Should I get high a little more
Should I cry a little more
Should I try a little more
I’d pay the cost and laugh it off
I’d do it all a thousand times again
No Regrets
2. Postcards From Wasteland
Tonight the moon is pretty as a brand new rose
And the nosey stars seem to know
Where everybody goes
As poets reach for words
With broken motel pens
Here’s something to hold on to till I come home again
Here the days don’t have names they got numbers
And the nights just seems to dance into each other
Sacred lovers are like fire flies each one has a spark
Trying to fill the whole where once there was a heart
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
Following my headlights don’t the highway in the dark
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Now before the summer sun gets chased away
And all of our tomorrows turn into yesterdays
I’m gonna build you that castle
I’m gonna write you that song
I gotta find the words to say
Until I’ve got you in my arms
I’m sending you Postcards from the Wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I’m sending Postcards from the Wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Tonight I’ll meet you in my dreams
See you soon.
Love, me
3. Alive
Feel me like I feel you
Won't you let me come inside
Heal me like I heal you
Let your mind, body, soul, come alive
On my knees (but I'm Rising)
On My Feet (Getting Higher)
I will fly
Hey Hey I'm Alive
Didn't think I'd make it to the other side
Here to stay I'm alive
Hey hey I survived
It's a brand new day
And I feel fine
Here to say I'm alive
Want me like I want you
That's my heart you hold in your hands
Touch me like I touch you
Make me feel like superman
On my knees (but I'm Rising)
On My Feet (Getting Higher)
I will fly
Hey hey I'm alive
Didn't think I'd make it to the other side
Here to stay I'm alive
Hey hey I survived
It's a brand new
And I feel fine
Here to stay I'm alive
Like the wind run with me
Take my hand come with me
Those bastards ain't bringing us down
For all the dreams that died
And all of the tears they cried
If there's one thing I've learned
Life is now
On my knees (but I'm Rising)
On My Feet (Getting Higher)
I will fly
Hey hey I'm alive
Didn't think I'd make it to the other side
Her to stay I'm alive (Didn't think I'd make it)
Hey hey I survived
It's a brand new day
And I feel Fine
Here to say I'm alive (It's here you got to take it)
4. Another Reason To Believe
Love lives in New York City
He got a place off of the park
Heard he was standing in the ruins
And in his hands a broken heart
He called an army of his angels
I heard they had to hide their wings
It was them who brought you water
If you listen closely I know you can hear
The choir singing
Hey, hallelujah, baby
Rise Up
Hold out your hands and reach out
Higher
Get up on your feet
Rise Up
Let it flow though you, baby
Run it through your veins
Like a healing rain
Everywhere you'll see
Another reason to believe
I saw him down south of Canal Street
Right there in a mother's eyes
At a table in a restaurant window
In a taxi passing by
Love went running up the stairwell
When the sky came falling down
It was him in a newborn baby's cry
He was there to make that sound
That keeps this whole world spinning 'round
Rise Up
Hold out your hands and reach out
Higher
Get up on your feet
Rise Up
Let it flow though you, baby
Run it through your veins
Like a healing rain
Everywhere you'll see
Another reason to believe
It's different than it was before
Now we need it even more
Fire's falling from the sky
Innocence just said goodbye
It may never be the same
Maybe it was time to change
A time to grieve
A time to cry
A time to live
A time to fly
5. Breathe
What's the world coming to
Where are we all running to
Not all our dreams are coming true
We can't let it break us
In two hearts that beat as one
Can't let the clouds cover the sun
If I'm ramblin" I'm guilty
Of wearing my heart on my sleeve
When it hurts - BREATHE
When it burns - BREATHE
The feeling inside you is feeling like I do
Take a breath - BREATHE
Let it out - BREATHE
Just close your eyes don't hold it inside you
BREATHE
She said baby you look down tonight
There's something wrong and that ain't right
I hear you talking in your sleep
I want to dive into your dreams
And wrap my loving arms around you
Protect you when the waves crash down on you
When you're lost and you're scared
I'll be the air
When it hurts - BREATHE
When it burns - BREATHE
The feeling inside you is feeling like I do
Take a breath - BREATHE
Let it out - BREATHE
Just close your eyes don't hold it inside you
BREATHE
When you give and you take
And it feels like something breaks
It's alright -BREATHE
When it hurts - BREATHE
When you doubt - BREATHE
When it burns - BREATHE
Let it out - BREATHE
When you give - BREATHE
When you love - BREATHE
When you live - BREATHE
When you touch - BREATHE
If all that we've got is each other
Than all that we got is a lot
When it hurts - BREATHE
When it burns - BREATHE
The feeling inside you is feeling like I do
Take a breathe - BREATHE
Let it out - BREATHE
Just close your eyes don't hold it inside you
BREATHE
6. Lucky
She counts the days away and waits for Valentines
She says every other day is just a waste of time, you know
She don't believe in miracles or make believe
If you were blind you still could see
That she believes in me
It feels like I found a pocket full of gold
I'm Lucky, baby, so Lucky, baby
Lucky to be with you today, Lucky to be the one to say
I'm Lucky, baby, so Lucky, baby
Whenever I see your smiling face
I'm lucky to be the one to be Lucky
Not all of heaven's angels get to wear their wings
She likes cheap sunglasses and diamond rings, you know
But she brings sunshine to a cloudy day
When we walk on by people stop and say
I'm Lucky, baby, so Lucky, baby
Lucky to be with you today, Lucky to be the one to say
I'm Lucky, baby, so Lucky, baby
Whenever I see your smiling face
I'm lucky to be the one to be Lucky
I got lucky when you found me
It only took one kiss to see
What did I do to get to be...
Lucky, baby, so Lucky, baby
Lucky to be with you today, Lucky to be the one to say
I'm Lucky, baby, so Lucky, baby
Whenever I see your smiling face
I'm Lucky to be the one to be lucky
7. Standin'
What you gonna say about me that I ain't already thought
What you gonna try and sell me that I ain't already bought
You wrap yourself up in my colors, ain't I the one you love to hate
You reel me in just to run me over, I bend but I don't break
Hey, hey
I'm my father's son, I'm a son of a gun
I won't back down
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I got my feet on the ground
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I ain't givin' in, figure it out
I'm wild and I'm free, I'm stubborn and proud
I'm raisin' these hands, gonna shout out loud
I'm still standin'
You know me, my hands are dirty; I ain't here to pound my chest
You'd just as soon kill as kiss me, do your worst, bring out my best
I ain't gonna fade for no one, I ain't gonna give an inch
I push when the wind is blowin'
Hey, hey
I'm a song of a bitch, don't take no shit
I won't back down
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I got my feet on the ground
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I ain't givin' in, figure it out
I'm wild and I'm free, I'm stubborn and I'm proud
I'm raisin' these hands, gonna shout out loud
I'm still standing
- Solo
I wont' back down
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I got my feet on the ground
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I ain't givin' in, figure it out
I'm wild and I'm free, I'm stubborn and I'm proud
I'm raisin' these hands, gonna shout out loud
Won't push me around
Just look at me now
I'm still standing
8. We Can Dance
I thought miracles were make believe
It's hard to hold what you can't see
I find the faith I need
Every morning when you wake up next to me
If all the shit we take for granted
Took our train and left us stranded
Let's make a stand and wave goodbye
Each night I see the world through brand new eyes
In my heart I hear the music playing
Can you hear it?
Take my hand
We can dance
To the laughter, to the tears
We can dance
To all those wasted years that disappeared
Hey, they got us here
Take my hand
We can dance
For the good fight and the bad
For the dreams that we still have
Looking back on it all, baby
We're still standing here
Take my hand
We can dance
Baby, lay down next to me
I want to feel each breath you breathe
In your kiss I taste the truth
I wanna get all tangled up in you
In your heart I heart the music playing
I can hear it
Take my hand
We can dance
With the laughter, with the tears
We can dance
With all those wasted years that disappeared
Hell, they got us here
Take my hand
We can dance
With the good fight and the bad
With the dreams that we still have
Looking back on it all, baby
We're still standing here
Take my hand
We can dance
And when the song is over
We'll still be going on.
Chorus
