TBHansonArg: The Walk

Great Divide

The earth is shaking under siege

And every breath will meet it's fate

Still we hunger for a moment of freedom

Even though the hour is late

I find hope and it gives me rest

I find hope in a beating chest

I find hope in what eyes don't see

I find hope in your hate for me

Have no fear when the waters rise

We can conquer this great divide

When every eye is on the fortune

It can only breed contempt

They say blood is thicker than oceans

Still we box our brothers in

I find hope and it gives me rest

I find hope in a beating chest

I find hope in what eyes don't see

I find hope in your hate for me

Have no fear when the waters rise

We can conquer this great divide

Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo

And we're gone

And we're, holding on

I find hope and it gives me rest

I find hope in a beating chest

I find hope in what eyes don't see

I find hope in your hate for me

Have no fear

Have no fear when the waters rise

We can conquer this great divide

Whoa, ooo, ooo, ooo

Been There Before

There's a downtown corner, people downtown know

And a back beat rhythm on the radio

And the girl who listens

To a young man's song

On the block I live on

In the place I'm from

Well the young man sitting

On the dock of the bay

He took a longterm trip

On a first class plane

Now the whole world listens

To that one man's song

On the block I live on

In the place I'm from

Tell me, does it move you

Does it soothe you

Does it fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock & roll

Does it move you

Does it soothe you

Does it fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock and roll

Well the man in black sits

On a screened in porch

Making birthday wishes

Seventy one almost

You can hear him singing

Chariot swing low

On the block I live on

In the place I know

Tell me, does it move you

Does it soothe you

Does it fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock & roll

Does it move you

Does it soothe you

Does it fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock and roll

Tell me, does it move you

Does it soothe you

Does it fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock & roll

Does it move you

Does it soothe you

Does it fill your heart and soul

With the roots of rock and roll

Na na na na na na, I've been there before

When you can't get through it

You can listen to it

With a na na na na

Well I've been there before

Georgia

Georgia, you know that you’ve been on my mind

Georgia, we've both learned to compromise

I’ll be there for you

When everybody’s coming unglued

I’ll be there for you

I won’t say you have to choose

Cause I don’t want to let you go

And I don’t want to lose you slowly

And I just want to let you know

That it’s only just a little back and forth lately

Georgia, I’ll be chasing you the rest of my life

Georgia, welcome to the rollercoaster ride

When I come to you

I know that you’ll help me get through

I’ll be there for you

We both know we could never choose

I don’t want to let you go

And I don’t want to lose you slowly

And I just want to let you know

That it’s only just a little back and forth

Yeah, It’s only just a little back and forth lately

You carry it like a heavy weight champ

It’s hard to say I can’t but I know I can’t be right there standing

I don’t want to let you go

And I don’t want to lose you slowly

Cause I just want to let you know

That it’s only just a little back and forth lately

I could never let you go

After all that you’ve been to me

And I just want to let you know

That it’s only just a little back and forth

it’s only just a little back and forth lately

A little back and forth lately

A little back and forth

Watch Over Me

She wakes and takes her place in line

And never bothers asking why the mirror sheds no light at all

The days turn into lesser days until there's only night

The light it wouldn't help she's too far gone

Her time is up it's five o'clock

It never stops

And she says please, and she says please

And she says please, watch over me

I watch her slowly make her way

Down on a road she shouldn't take

She always ends where she began

The years go by, they are adding up

She clicks her heels but she's still stuck

She giving in but won't give up she'll never stop

And she says please, and she says please

And she says please, watch over me

And she says please, and she is

On her knees and she begs and pleads

Na na na na na na na na

She counts the time 'til her heart breaks

Just waiting for her next mistake

And she says please, and she says please

And she says please, watch over me

On her knees and she begs and she pleads she says

Please, and she says please and she says Please watch over me

She counts the time 'til her heart breaks

Just waiting for her next mistake

Don't give up I know you've stopped believing

And you're down and you're begging you're pleading

Don't give up cause you're not too far gone

Running Man

Waiting up all night

There’s something on my mind

I need to tell you why

He’s playing you for a fool

He’s fooling ‘round on you

And I just lost my cool

Feeling so sad

Too bad for the running man

‘Cause he waits too long so he can’t come back again

Too bad for the running man

‘Cause I’m right here waiting to make that girl forget

Too bad for the running man

Goodbye

Life isn't what it seems

Or something in a dream

That's not quite what I mean

I need to say goodbye

You think I didn't try

I'm not that other guy

I'm feeling so sad

Too bad for the running man

‘Cause he waits too long so he can’t come back again

Too bad for the running man

‘Cause I’m right here waiting to make that girl forget

Too bad for the running man

Goodbye

Too bad for the running man

‘Cause he waits too long so he can’t come back again

Too bad for the running man

‘Cause I’m right here waiting to make that girl forget

Too bad for the running man

Goodbye

It's too bad for the running man

It's too bad

It's too bad for the running man

It's too bad

Go

Z Hanson/W McAuley/S Curfman

For all the love we've made

Just one things stays the same

The lamp gets dusty

The pipes get rusty

But i don't wanna wash my hands clean

You say you love me too

Then why won't you go through

With the nightly kisses

With the hits and misses

If you can't make it on your own

Then go if you want to go

But stay if you want to know the way

Through the mess we've made

Then lie in the bed you know

Or go

I heard you're moving van

But i didn't take a stand

You can't leave with with them

You can't live without them

I never thought i'd want to let you

Go if you want to go

But stay if you want to know the way

Through the mess we've made

Than lie in the bed you know

Oh go

For all the love we've made

Just one thing stays the same

The lamp gets dusty

The pipes get rusty

But i don't want to wash my hands clean

Go if you want to go

But stay if you want to know the way

Through the mess we've made

Than lie in the bed you know

Oh go

Fire On The Mountain

We sit secure in time-honored traditions made

Never wondering where or when the sickle may come

If we don’t seek out knowledge to be greater men

When the rain starts falling gonna drown before we get our feet wet

We build our ivory towers to protect us from the flood

A fleet of vessels made of wood so they won’t rust

But can we see the bottom of the bottle when we start to drink

There’s fire on the mountain fire and it’s coming our way

Can we pick the pieces up

We’re mending Babylon

Tryin’ to right the wrong

Can we pick the pieces up

Live Learn Life Love Die Dust Gone

There’s fire on the mountain

Can we pick the pieces up

We’re mending Babylon

Tryin’ to right the wrong

Can we pick the pieces up

Live Learn Life Love Die Dust Gone

One More

I sit here by myself

Just staring into space

I thought I knew you well

Well who can ever say

It seems I’ve spent so long

I can’t define my right from wrong

One more for the night

And one more for the pain and

One more, long goodbye

And one shot to the brain

And one more takes the knife

And one more takes the train

Who do I name today

A dream of better days

Has long gone by the way

Is there a better place

Well who can ever say

It seems I’ve spent so long

I can’t define my right from wrong

One more for the night

And one more for the pain and

One more, long goodbye

And one shot to the brain

And one more takes the knife

And one more takes the blame

Who do I name today

Who do I blame today

Nothing’s over ‘til its over

And if it’s over I don’t want to hear it

Look into my eyes I told her

Holding on to what is gone won’t heal it

It seems I’ve spent so long

I can’t define my right from wrong

One more for the night

And one more for the pain and

One more, long goodbye

And one shot to the brain

And one more takes the knife

And one more takes the train

Who do I name today

Who do I blame today

Blue Sky

I’m blind with eye’s wide open

My body’s tired and broken

I want a taste of something, that doesn’t leave me dry

This hope for answered questions

As rare as true conviction

I stare into the distance, there is no truth in sight

Who can tell me why

Everybody’s looking for a blue sky

Searching for an answer on a satellite

I know that there’s got to be a blue sky out there to see

A blue sky waiting for me

I’ve seen the main attraction

I’ve felt a moments passion

I won’t be a soap box teacher, just taking your time

Just taking your time

Who can tell me why

Everybody’s looking for a blue sky

Searching for an answer on a satellite

I know that there’s got to be a blue sky out there to see

A blue sky

Everywhere I go, it feels like I’m always searching for something

Till I know for sure, I’ll be right here waiting for something

More, more, for something more, for something more

Everybody’s looking for a blue sky

Searching for an answer on a satellite

I know that there’s got to be a blue sky out there to see

A blue sky

You know everybody’s looking for a blue sky

Searching for answer on a satellite

I know there’s got to be a blue sky waiting for me

A blue sky

Tearing It Down

I am, taking a chance

Walking with my laces loose

Wrapped up, taking the maze

That everybody's running through

I'm sick of, black tie

Nickel and dime

We're going through the roof

I'm not a wise man

But I see the haze

And this is what I'm gonna do

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

There's a fine line

You walk everyday

'Cause somebody told you to

A white lie

You can't erase

Now you're gonna have to choose

You know a blind man

Won't show the way

But he can tell you

What it's coming to

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

Ni ni ni now

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni

Ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni now

I'm not a wise man

But I see the haze

And this is what I'm gonna do

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Tearing it down

Whoo, whoo

Something Going 'Round

Are you falling asleep at the wheel

Maybe there is a feeling, you've been brushing off

Asking reason, what's left for me here

When he's all out of answers

You're not out of luck

I've got this something

That's been going round

I've got this something

You don't know it

But you need it

I've got this something

That's been going round

I've got this something

You don't know it

But you need it now

Are you hungry?

Won't you come get your fill

We could get this thing in motion

If you'd stop acting tough

Superstar you sit up high on your hill

I know why you're running

Only you know what you've lost

I've got this something

That's been going round

I've got this something

You don't know it

But you need it

I've got this something

That's been going round

I've got this something

You don't know it

But you need it now

When the sun goes down

It's here waiting

It is still right here for you now

And when the sun comes out

It's still waiting

It is still right here for you now

Doo doo doo doo doo,

Doo doo doo doo

I've got this something

That's been going round

You don't know it

But you need it

I've got this something

I've got this something, yeah

I've got this something

You don't know it

But you need it

Yeah yeah, you don't know it

Yeah, you don't know it

But you need it

I've got this something

I've got this something, yeah

You need this something now

Your Illusion

You say you want to kill yourself

It might make it just a little bit easier

You think you're the only one who hurts

Try looking just a little bit harder

I don't know why you're holding on

To the damage that's been done

'Cause you've got me wrapped up in your illusion

I keep on trying to change your conclusion

But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion

I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting life

Don't disguise your emptiness

By placing blame on me and everyone else

Protected by your safety nets

But you can't put the heart of your fears at rest

All I feel is deep regret for what you have become

You've got me wrapped up in your illusion

I keep on trying to clear the confusion

But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion

I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting

I keep on trying 'cause you're busy wasting life

You're busy wasting life

I cannot go on this way

I bring no consolation for you and your pain

No one else can change your fate

You'll have to do it for yourself

You've got me wrapped up in your illusion

I keep on trying to clear the confusion

But you've got me wrapped up in your illusion

I keep on dying 'cause you're busy wasting life

You're busy wasting life,

You're busy wasting life, you've got me wrapped up

You're busy wasting life, 'cause I keep on trying

You're busy wasting life, you've got me wrapped up

You're busy wasting life, and I keep on dying

The Walk

Well deep in a wood

Where nothing is seen

A tightrope is strung to his heed

And high on the walk

He's down on one knee

He waits for the slow of the breeze

Oh, wow

Look at him now, on his feet

High up in the sky

And every moment extends endlessly

It feels as though time isn't moving

And every second, hold breath not to breathe

And watch as he moves to the beat

Well down on the floor

I watch from my seat

And watch as he sways with the trees

And slowly he moves

But so elegantly

I'm all on the edge of my seat

On the tightrope

Everything's bare

All that there is is from here to there

On the tightrope

The goal is quite clear

Don't lose yourself in your fear

Everyone waits on a walk

Some are long and some small

But all of them tall

And everyone must make a choice

Will I go for it all

And possibly fall

The tightrope is thin

I could possibly win on the walk

Well high on the walk

The tightrope it bends

And nobody knows where it ends

To win or to lose

You're all on your own

Everyone must be alone

On the tightrope

Everything's bare

All that there is is from here to there

On the tightrope

The goal is quite clear

Don't lose yourself in your fear

The Walk
