Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights
stand the Heroes waiting for your cries
so many times you did not bring this on yourself
when that moment finally comes
I'll be there to Help...

On that day
when you need your Brothers and Sisters to care
I'll be right here
Citizen Soldiers
holding the Light for the ones that we Guide from the Dark of Despair

It feels like something got in the way
And maybe i had something to do with it
There's not much that i can say
But there sure is something i've got to prove to you
I told you, that i'd try
And you said that i lie
Like i have something to sell

Come on wait a minute
You think i've been in this
For a little while
But now come on baby, please
I've been on my knees for a long time

Looking back at the beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me and loving all of our friends
Living life like an ocean

But now the current's slowly pulling me down
It's getting harder to breathe
It won't be too long and I'll be going under
Can you save me from this?

Cause it's not my time
I'm not going
There's a fear in me
It's not showing
This could be the end of me

How do you know where you're going
When you don't know where you've been
You hide the shame that you're not showing
And you won't let anyone in
A crowded street can be a quiet place
When you're walking alone
And now you think that you're the only
One who doesn't

Have to try
And you won't have to feel
If you're afraid to fight
Then i guess you never will
You hide behind your walls
Of maybe nevers

I guess i just got lost
Bein' someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday

Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself

What happens to a man when
He spills his heart on a page and
He watches words flow away then
His feelings lie on the page alone
There waiting
For someone who cares to read them
To open their eyes to see them
To see if they can make his thoughts their own
To find out that maybe your life's not perfect
Maybe it's not worth what he gives away

You can see that this broken soul is bleeding

Do you ever think about running away
'cause i was thinkin' about leavin' today
We'll follow forever where our hearts wanna go
Maybe we'll live somewhere where nobody knows our names
Then things might change for the good

I wanna be somewhere so far away
To lie under the night at the end of another good day
I can't tell you how long we'll be gone

The open wound she hides,
she just keeps it boundled up
and never lets it show.
She can't take much more of this
but she can't let it go.
That's ok, she don't want the world

And all the things she says,
he's just lying there
without someone to hear her cry.
She slipps off into a dream
about a place to hide.
That's ok, she don't want the world

This love she feels,
and everything she's ever known

I think i was better off before this all began
So clearly i can see lately that you don't know who i am
Everybody tried to tell me something that i never could believe
Stand back it seems so much different than it did in front of me
But i know

There's no good in lookin' back on yesterday
And wondering what could have happened then
You think you can give me what i want
You say, you say

Put me on a train mama
'cause things just aint the same no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

I dont want to watch the world spinnin
I want to be spinning with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today

'Cause Ive got the feeling thats for sure
And to know that I can get it makes me want it more
Mama I just want you to know that Im gonna be fine

Lord I know its a chance that I take

You must be happy with yourself
You think you're so much better than me
Why do you love to see me fail so much
'cause on that day you crawl back on your knees
Tell me who will save you

When there's no one else around
And you can't turn to me
Tell me where will you be
When it's over
And all this pride you hold inside
Is gone
Tell me where will you hide
When it's over

I think i've walked too close to love
And now i'm falling in
Theres so many things this weary soul can't take
Maybe you just caught me by surprise
The first time that i looked into your eyes

There's a life inside of me
That i can feel again
It's the only thing that takes me
Where i've never been
I don't care if i lost everything that i have known
It don't matter where i lay my head tonight
