And its so hard to live in a world that values hate,
And its so hard to breathe in a world without peace,
Now take me back, somewhere far, somewhere in my heart
Now take me to, a place of love,
Where the world can be one, Where the world can be one
And there's so much tension every where you go these days,
All you want to do is hide away, in your fears, there's tears in my eyes
Now tell me why is this so? Where did the love go? and Tell me why we all cry?
When will the world be one? When will the world be one?
So confused, abused and don't know which way to go, so re-used, and accused if you know which way to go, mmm mmm mmm
Now take me back to somewhere far, somewhere beyond the stars, and tell me why, we all cry?
When will the world be one? When will the world be one?
Now tell me, when will the world be one?

Note To Self
02:58
|

I've been thinkin' about a lot of things now now, I'm not as lost as it seems, you can't break stone with a hard head no no, I gotta a lot to learn
When times are hard you will change, cause' nothing will ever stay the same, It feels like you're so alone, just take it easy and find your home yeah,
later on, oh yeah, nah nah no
you've got wide eyes but they often close, you can't always be on top, cause' friends will leave but some will stay, whether you're ready or not,
So don't take it all so hard, seasons come they'll change your heart, so tell me now my weary friend, you'll stay with me until the end
Later on
So lovely lovely its not a war now, tell tell me you know, good times come but just as fast they'll go on, but don't let it, take your soul
later on
nah nah no, no no, no, no ohh ohh , oh
yeah

As 6 AM rolls by, staring at the ceiling, been up all night,
Just trying to do what's right, fighting the good fight,
I think about the things years passed back and sigh, I wanna cry but I don't know why; We all seem to die, before we pass on by,
Chorus-
So Pardon me, if I seem unruly, so sorry not sorry, So Pardon me, cause' I won't step down, my heart resounds
I wake up in the morning stressed to the bone, I look around and it doesn't feel like home, so tired of being so lonesome, I've totally come undone, Yeah
Chorus
Holding on through the night, trying, trying to make things right, so I'm, holding on through the night
As 6 AM rolls by, staring at the ceiling as thoughts go by,
Just trying to do what's right, Holding on through the night

"Here we go!"

I hear all these lies, that try to shield me, from my own eyes, and it's no surprise that you're nothing, without your disguise

I'm on my knees, beggin' lord please, give me a light, something to hold onto tight, but through it all, there's always a shining light, as long, as you stay true to you

On Down the Road

Sick for days, we all knew it was coming soon now,
I miss your embrace, you were the only one there now,
You made some mistakes, but don't we all,
Forget the past, You'll ever-last
Chorus-
Treading the water, I hope that you are satisfied,
Where ever you are now, I know that you always meant well,
Treading the water, Ohh you tried to come around,
I'll remember you always, ever-last
When I was a boy, I looked up to you so much,
Listening to Elvis, Oh how I loved the sound,
Thanksgiving and Christmas, Always good times,
And I'm not afraid, to say goodbye now
Chorus
Bridge-
On down the road, on down the road you're there x 4
Outro- On down the road you're there

Used To Be So Easy
02:22

It used to be so easy, to run at night, now I'm walking in the shadows of the sunlight, it used to be so easy, to laugh at things now I can't seem to smile I've been running for miles, it used to be so easy, just to run, yeah
whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, yeah
It used to be so easy to run stop signs, just to take in the sights, just to take in the highs, it was so easy, to feel the breeze, now I'm walking down the street of a lonely dream, it was so easy just to run
and I'm trying to figure out what my next move is gonna be, (gonna be), but my problem is I don't got time to figure out a reason or rhyme, (rhythm or rhyme)
it used to be so easy, just to run, away, away, away, away....

Apple of My Eye

I can't believe what I see, Its the girl of my dreams,
Standing right before my eyes, wearing no disguise,
She's the one for me
And I'm in Love with a queen, she's the girl of my dreams,
I got everything I need, because I satisfy her needs,
And all those nights that you cried, feeling so denied,
You can rest on my shoulder babe for eternity yeah,
Soggy tears in your eyes, and to me its no surprise,
That you feel so overwhelmed, feeling like a shell
Of who you used to be
But you're a queen to me, as far as I can see,
And I got everything I need, cause' you're with me,
And all those nights that you cried, feeling so denied,
You can rest on my shoulder babe, for eternity yeah,
Now don't you cry, oh lantern up so high, your lovin' is my sky,
You're the apple of my eye

I'm thinkin' that you're not there for me yeah, we've gone our different ways I know, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, when you're not near, I'm so down when you're not around, I'm a fool who plays a clown,
Love sends from all angles now, tell me all of your dreams, if all of the world's scenes loosened together, just maybe we'd end up together, and just maybe we'd live forever
Now honestly, honestly is real? Now promise me, promise me, yeah,
Lay it on me slowly now, lay it on me sweetly now, lay it on me slowly now, yeah
Tell me all of your dreams babe, I'll lend you my ears for your heart, now tell me we're on the same page dear, I won't lead you astray have no fear, if you don't feel the same way be clear
Now honestly, honestly is real? Now promise me, promise me, yeah,
