"Higher"
When dreaming I'm guided through another world, time and time again. At sunrise I fight to stay asleep, 'cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place. 'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape from the life I live when I'm awake.
So let's go there, let's make our escape. Come on, let's go there. Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher? To the place where blind men see. Can you take me higher? To the place with golden streets.
Although I would like our world to change, it helps me to appreciate those nights and those dreams. But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights. If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same. The only difference is to let love replace all our hate.
So let's go there, let's make our escape. Come on, let's go there. Let's ask can we stay?
Up high, I feel like I'm alive for the very first time. Up high, I'm strong enough to take these dreams. And make them mine.
"What If"
I can't find the rhyme in all my reason, I've lost sense of time and all seasons.
I feel I've been beaten down, by the words of men who have no grounds.
I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom, when your ax has cut the roots that feed them. Forked tongues in bitter mouths, can drive a man to bleed from inside out.
What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, destroy the man who lacks a strong mind.
Human pride sings a vengeful song, inspired by the times you've been walked on.
My stage is shared by many millions, who lift their hands up high because they feel this. We are one, we are strong. The more you hold us down the more we press on.
What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind, 'cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life. So I'll just ask a question. What if?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?
"With Arms Wide Open"
Well I just heard the news today. It seems my life is going to change. I closed my eyes, begin to pray. Then tears of joy stream down my face.
With arms wide open, under the sunlight. Welcome to this place. I'll show you everything, with arms wide open.
Well I don't know if I'm ready, to be the man I have to be. I'll take a breath, take her by my side. We stand in awe, we've created life.
With arms wide open, under the sunlight. Welcome to this place. I'll show you everything, with arms wide open. Now everything has changed. I'll show you love.
I'll show you everything, with arms wide open.
If I had just one wish, only one demand. I hope he's not like me. I hope he understands, that he can take this life, and hold it by the hand. And he can greet the world, with arms wide open.
"Wrong Way"
What makes you touch? What makes you feel? What makes you stop and smell the roses in an open field? What makes you unclean?
Yeah, yeah.
What makes you laugh? What makes you cry? What makes our youth run, from the thought that we might die? What makes you bleed?
Somebody told me the wrong way. What if I died? What did I give? I hope it was an answer so you might live. I hope I helped you live. I hope I helped you live.
Somebody told me the wrong way.
