New Beginning

Turn the page
The story once told
Resolved, it unfolds
Beyond the cage
A new one is written
The past engraved
The present is here
The future unclear
But yesterday’s
Affliction will not remain
Make a new beginning to follow
Go until you’re living your life in peace
Self-reflect
A light in the dark
That’s lit by a spark
Of self-respect
Enlightened but frightened
Defy the depths of all your fears
(Being depth defying)
When you are fed up, you will feel the flame
(Feel the fire burning)
(Make a new beginning)
Make a new beginning to follow
Journey to a greater tomorrow
It’s in you, you’re winning the battle
Go until you’re living your life in peace
Keeping the faith
Let your actions liberate
To feel relief and be free
Beat the mundane
Though it will not come with ease
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
Make a new beginning to follow
Journey to a greater tomorrow
It’s in you, you’re winning the battle
Go until you’re living your life in peace

Arise

Manic inside my brain
In the prison walls
My mind has installed
Must find a new escape
Or gain back control
Can I claim the time you stole?
Would I change?
Could I be whole and arise?
Can’t keep the voice contained
Tried to take it, can not take anymore
Tried to fake it, can not fake this
Just on the edge of sane
Give it back now, give me back the order
I won't allow you to
Step inside and take your toll
Tear me down and lead my soul to demise
I’ll reclaim the time you stole
Once you’re gone, I will be whole and arise
Break the mold, take control
Grab a hold, take control
Break the mold, take control
Grab a hold, take control
Step inside and take your toll
Tear me down and lead my soul to demise
I’ll reclaim the time you stole
Once you’re gone, I will be whole and arise
Break the mold, take control
Grab a hold, take control
Break the mold, take control

Won't Give In
04:22
|

From the moment we began
I could understand your pain
And the nights I held your hand
I had tried to ease the strain
You had told me how you feel
Getting through the daily stress
But in time it was revealed
That you were too obsessed
And I didn’t think to ask
I let it fall aside
But I know I can’t deny, no
What’s the reason that you keep
For the hunger everyday?
Is there something buried deep
That could make you feel this way?
Is it more than just for fun
Or to satisfy your crave?
Can the habit be undone
Or have you become a slave?
This is not a way to live
You base it on a need
To escape reality
I could succumb
I could give in to your drug
I could give up
Make a mistake in the name of love
I could become
One of the many
Giving up my will to choose
But I can’t do that for you
Just to aid in your excuse
No, I can’t do that for you
‘Cause I won’t give in to you
I feel inside
It's not the way it's meant to be
So cold and dry
My heart begins to ache
Now you will find
Another way to be set free
But know that I
Would rather die than break
I would rather die than break
I could succumb
I could give in to your drug
I could give up
Make a mistake in the name of love
I could become
One of the many
Giving up my will to choose
But I can’t do that for you
Just to aid in your excuse
No, I can’t do that for you
‘Cause I won’t give in to you

All For One, One For All
03:49
|

Overcome the whole, the sum
Of all the hardships I have faced
From this I’ve grown, though not alone
So I will set the record straight
To rise above, I turn to company
The ones I love lead me to victory
All for one and one for all
Through love we have the power we need
There are those who step on toes
And scoff at others and their dreams
I take offense when common sense
Is not as common as it seems
We’re ripped and torn by our society
Let’s be reborn through true humanity
All for one and one for all
Through love we have the power we need
All for one and one for all
This revelation can be achieved
Glance at the hapless few
Not of their own volition
If it was me or you
Wouldn’t we want an option?
(Don’t stop)
Maybe it’s heaven sent
(Can’t stop)
I’m hearing a voice that’s calling
(Won’t stop)
Never been more hell-bent
That all deserve a chance like you and me
All for one and one for all
Through love we have the power we need
All for one and one for all
This revelation can be achieved

One Of These Days
05:01
|
|||
|
Many thoughts run through my head
As I lay awake in bed
Of the person that may come
Of the day I meet someone
In the future on the winding road ahead
The time it takes is worth the wait
And why I say I'm on my way
Whether she is here or there
Eagerly, I am aware
That she does the same for me
Holding on so patiently
And expecting to run into me somewhere
The time it takes is worth the wait
To step out of the grey
Although delayed, I'll find my way
That’s why I say
One of these days, one of these days
I'm gonna spend my time with you
One of these days, one of these days
I'll fall into
One of these days, one of these days
I'm gonna share my life with you
One of these days, one of these days
I'll fall into love with you
In the light of your eyes
I will see into
To the skies, side by side
We will see it through
One of these days, one of these days
I'm gonna spend my time with you
One of these days, one of these days
I'll fall into
One of these days, one of these days
I'm gonna share my life with you
One of these days, one of these days
I'll fall into love with you
I’ll fall into love with you

Kinetic Energy
04:29
|

|
I’m a straight shooter
Traditional chooser
A freedom abuser
Self-proclaimed a bona fide loser
I'm a late bloomer
A shallow consumer
An avid assumer
Barely ever thought of the future
Living life on automatic
Simple, innocent, pathetic
Victim of my own transparency
Status getting problematic
State of mind becomes erratic
Dawning of a personality
Now that I'm given direction
I'll take it to a whole new degree
And with the purest intentions
Push until I'm making the grade
A source of new belief
Consistent synergy, kinetic energy
A force you've never seen
Insistent entity, kinetic energy
I’m a new leader
An overachiever
A generous bleeder
Shedding my own blood for believers
Confident and charismatic
Cutting through the noise and static
Forming an outstanding legacy
So now we're ready to take off
Committed and determined to play
With unrestricted potential
Take it to the front of the stage
A source of new belief
Consistent synergy, kinetic energy
A force you've never seen
Insistent entity, kinetic energy
Now that we’ve got your attention
I’m asking all of you to embrace
Like an awaited explosion
Building up until the release
A source of new belief
Consistent synergy, kinetic energy
A force you've never seen
Insistent entity, kinetic energy
The edge of new extremes
Persistent urgency, kinetic energy
A pledge of hopes and dreams
A distant destiny, kinetic energy

In Stone
04:25
|

|
From underneath the fragile skin
Exposing deep, comprehend
You’re incomplete and wearing thin
A wasted, weak, working man
Confined inside the daily grind
There’s a thirst to be whole
And move towards the goal
Nothing's set in stone
Within the ebb and flow
You learn your lesson
Heard the message
Step up and be bold
When that goal is in your reach
But slips right through your hands
And you fall down to your knees
Understand
If at first you don't succeed
Then try and try again
For the moment you concede
It’s the end
Sometimes all our dreams
Can lead us blind
'Cause at best, we don't know
But we never give up hope
Nothing's set in stone
Within the ebb and flow
You learn your lesson
Heard the message
Step up and be bold
Nothing's set in stone
Your freedom is your own
You found your purpose
Reached the surface
Rise and make it known
Nothing's set in stone
Within the ebb and flow
You learn your lesson
Heard the message
Step up and be bold
Nothing's set in stone
Your freedom is your own
You found your purpose
Reached the surface
Rise and make it known
Nothing’s set in stone
Yeah, nothing’s set in stone
Yeah, nothing’s set in stone
Yeah, nothing’s set in stone

Proud
05:00

You’re staring the gaze
Of death in the eye
Disillusioned
A beauty to save
And hope will survive
This conclusion
How vicious a fate
When she comes to die
Execution
In a world that betrays
And leaves you to bend
Until you break
You're left in a daze
And caught by surprise
Felt the struggle
A duty to raise
Two kids and their lives
From the rubble
But you never strayed
You kept us alive
With a smile
Refusing to shake
Nor willing to spend
Your life afraid
Never throw it all away
Never let it go to waste
You were all by yourself
So I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For not giving up on me
Left without any help
So I need to thank you
I need to thank you
I need to thank you
For not giving up on me
For granted, forsake
What you're all about
Secret angel
While others mistake
Their family vows
Broken halos
Now needless to say
I need you around
You're my hero
We're one in the same
I'll always be proud
To share your name
On the blood that’s in my veins
Swear I’ll never let it fade
You were all by yourself
So I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For not giving up on me
Left without any help
So I need to thank you
I need to thank you
I need to thank you
For not giving up on me
And because of your fight
You have taken me higher
And my future is brighter
Through the light you shine on me
And because of your might
You've ignited my fire
I'm forever inspired
By the faith you have in me
By the faith you have in me
By the love you give to me
By the love you give to me
By the love you give to me
You were all by yourself
So I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For not giving up on me
Left without any help
So I need to thank you
I need to thank you
I need to thank you
For not giving up on me
So I’ll scream it aloud
That I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
For not giving up on me
Know I’ll always be proud
And I need to thank you
I need to thank you
I need to thank you
For not giving up on me
For not giving up on me
For not giving up on me
For not giving up on me
For not giving up on me

Ray Of Light
05:02
|

|
Mother Earth is fading
Cast into the dark
While we’re all relaying
Hatred through remarks
Overshadowed by the words
Don’t we know how much they hurt?
An ethnicity, a gender
Race or weight
Sexuality, religion
Feeding hate
In our feuds, we all forgot
We’re all human, are we not?
Can't you see the world is dying
Crying out for truth?
Show the way to end the fighting
Guide the love in you, in you
Offer good behavior
To your fellow man
Caring for your neighbors
Lend a helping hand
Bathing darkness in the light
Come together and unite
When you see the world is dying
Crying out for truth
Show the way to end the fighting
Guide the love in you
Know that when the sun is rising
Shining into view
You will feel the awe inspiring
Ray of light shine through, shine through
When you see the world is dying
Crying out for truth
Show the way to end the fighting
Guide the love in you
Know that when the sun is rising
Shining into view
We will feel the awe inspiring
Ray of light, ray of light shine through

Time For Change
03:37
|

So I'm caught somewhere between
Who I am and hope to be, but I can see
At the height of self-esteem
I come bursting at the seams, an energy
Determined I am born to lead
A dreamer destined to succeed
I’ll be the author of my fate
Enjoy the future I create
Although the journey may be long
It doesn’t make me right or wrong
To read the writing on the wall
To pay no mind and risk it all for change
Just because they don't believe
Others think I'm too naive, a wannabe
And as the time began to pass
The veil of doubt, the shadow cast
The people play antagonist
Humanity, a pessimist
Another notion entertained
Another motion of disdain
Providing a display of worth
I’ll win the favor I deserve
I’ll tell you one by one
My life has just begun
I’m breaking through these chains
It's time for me to make a change
Living with my self-contempt
Can I be a better man?
Gotta work against the tide
To create a chance in life
Gonna make a new attempt
I will take a greater stand
I'm not gonna run and hide
I'll be damned if I don't try
Now I’ll tell you one by one
My life has just begun
I’m breaking through these chains
It's time for me to make a change

Weight Of The World
07:50
|
|||
|
Life is changing pace
Haven’t found your place
Held beneath the weight
Fears are taking shape
I know the way you feel
In time, you’ll find the real
When the weight of the world
Rests on your shoulders
And the future you’re after
Is at stake
Gotta stand up and fight
Until it’s over
To believe in yourself
Will be the key
When depression strikes
Pressure like a knife
Heavy thoughts invite
Doubts about your life
Yeah, I know the pain you feel
With time, your wounds will heal
When the weight of the world
Rests on your shoulders
And the future you’re after
Is at stake
Gotta stand up and fight
Until it’s over
To believe in yourself
Will be the key
With a heart of strong resolve
There’s nothing you can’t do
Given patience, perseverance
Strength of heart will prove
This, the path of your own making
Built and fortified
Step by step, your friends
Are by your side
Feel the weight of the world
When the weight of the world
Rests on your shoulders
And the future you’re after
Is at stake
Gotta stand up and fight
Until it’s over
To believe in yourself
Will be the key
When the weight of the world
Is off your shoulders
And the courage you find
Is inner strength
Just remember you’re only
Getting stronger
And the future you want
Could be today
