1. Something
I'm alive, but am I living?
If I'm in fear of who I long to be
Of myself ,I'm unforgiving
I¹m grasping hope when I believe
We all need Something
We all need Something more
We all-we all-we all-we all
We all need Something else
And Something to live for
Life is short, yeah that's a given
What's here today is gone tomorrow
In a world that¹s lost and driven
To find The Way is to know
We all need Something
We all need Something more
We all-we all-we all-we all
We all need Something else
And Something to live for
2. For You
I would walk through the fire for you
I would fly even higher for you
My one and only desire is you
But will you ever want me?
I can give you the stars, I can give you the oceans
I can give you the sun and the moon with a view
I can give you the world with undying devotion
But if I lose your heart, then what good will it do?
I¹d run a million miles for you
I¹d take on any trial for you
I¹d fight any battle and I would die for you
But will you ever know me?
I can give you the stars, I can give you the oceans
I can give you the sun and the moon with a view
I can give you the world with undying devotion
But if I lose your heart, then what good will it do?
3. Shining Star
Shining star for you to see
What your life can truly be
When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
What you see, it looks so near
In the sky so very clear
[Chorus]
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you can truly be
Truly be
Shining star comes into view
To shine it's watchful light on you
Give you strength to carry on
Make your body big and strong
So if you find yourself in need
You've got to listen to these words of heed
Be a giant or grain of sand
Words of wisdom, yes i can
[Repeat Chorus]
Fade
Shining star for you to see
What your life can truly be
4. Lady
[Verse 1]
I see you standin' there, oh so fine
I can't believe my eyes Girl, I just can't seem to make you mine
No matter how hard I try
[Bridge 1]
I've never wanted any one more than you
Girl, I'm hopin' that you're wantin' me too
[Chorus]
Lady, I wanna be your man
Lady...
[Verse 2]
Won't you tell me what I've gotta do
To win over your heart
This feeling inside is something new
It's tearin' me apart
[Bridge 2]
I never dreamed I would meet someone like you
Won't you tell me that you're feelin' it too
[Repeat Chorus]
Baby, I'll love you all I can
Lady...
5. All for One
[Verse 1]
Take a look around, won't ya tell me what you see
Is there love to be found in this world's pain and misery?
Tell me, will it ever change?
[Chorus]
All for one and one for all
Isn't that the way that it should be
Will we ever change this world?
United we will stand up tall
United we will never fall
If it's all for one and one for all
[Verse 2]
Days are going by, its up to you to make a start
Before this world of ours turns to dust and falls apart
Right now I know we can make a change
[Chorus]
All for one and one for all
Isn't that the way that it should be
Will we ever save this world?
United we will stand up tall
United we will never fall
If it's all for one and one for all
[Repeat Chorus]
6. In God We Trust
[Verse 1]
It's been said money talks
If so what does it say?
Four simple words we see every day
[Verse 2]
The rich, the poor
Heaven is for those who choose
Don't put your trust in money
You'll lose (again and again)
[Chorus]
In God we trust
In Him we must believe
(He is the only way)
In God we trust
His Son we must receive
(Tomorrow's too late, accept Him today)
[Repeat Chorus]
7. Always There for You
[Verse 1]
Love can be so cold
And loneliness gets old
More than words or broken promises
I want to show you what true love is
[Chorus]
I'm always there for you
I'll always stand by you
When the world has closed the door
And you can't go on anymore
I'm always there for you
[Verse 2]
You've been hurt before
And you don't want anymore
There's a better way for you
Believe in me, I'll see you through
[Repeat Chorus]
8. To Hell With the Devil
[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil
He's no friend of mine
To turn from him is what we have in mind
[Verse 2]
Just a liar and a thief
The word tells us so
We like to let him know
Where he can go
[Chorus]
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
[Verse 3]
When things are going wrong
You know who to blame
He will always live
Up to his name
[Verse 4]
He's never been the answer
There's a better way
We are here to rock you
And to say...
[Repeat Chorus]
9. Calling on You
[Verse 1]
Inside of me there is a lonely place
Sometimes I just don't know it's there
But when I'm all alone
That's when I have to face...
[Bridge]
The part of me that needs someone
To be by my side that's when I call on...
[Chorus]
You, You make my life complete
You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I'm calling on you
[Verse 2]
I can't explain just what You do to me
My love grows stronger everyday
You give me love, You give me company
And when I have to face the rain
You bring sunshine into my life
[Repeat Chorus]
[Solo]
[Repeat Chorus]
10. Free
[Verse 1]
Free to turn away - say goodbye
Free to walk away - and deny
The gift waiting for you
Whispers a still small voice
It's your choice - you're..
[Chorus]
Free - Free to do what you want to
Choose your own destiny
Free to do what you want to
Free to open up - and believe
Free to simply ask - and receive
There's no better time than now
You've got the right to choose
You can't lose - you're...
[Repeat Chorus]
11. Honestly
[Verse 1]
Honestly, I believe in you
Do you trust in me
Patiently, I will stand by you
I will stand beside you faithfully
[Bridge]
And through the years
I will be a friend
For always and forever
[Chorus]
Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly
[Chorus 2]
Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I love you honestly
I will never betray your trust in me
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly
12. The Way
[Verse 1]
I want to sing some other way
Always the same, never a change
What can I do to make me feel right
Change all my ways, give up my life
[Chorus]
Oh - What did you say?
Oh - Christ is the way
Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
[Verse 2]
I feel His strength come into me
Reading His word helps me to see
I feel so new, I want to sing
Feeling His joy in everything
[Chorus]
Oh - What can I say?
Oh - Christ is the way
Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
13. Soldiers Under Command
[Verse 1]
We are the soldiers under God's command
We hold His two-edged sword within our hands
We're not ashamed to stand up for what's right
We win without sin, it's not by our might
And we're fighting all the sin
And the good book -- it says we'll win!
[Chorus]
Soldiers, Soldiers, under command
Soldiers, Soldiers, fighting the Lords battle plan
[Verse 2]
Are you a soldier under God's command
Help fight the good fight, join us while you can
The battle that's waiting is fought so easily
Through Him, without sin there is victory
And were fighting all the sin
And the good book -- it says we'll win!
[Repeat Chorus]
14. Makes Me Wanna Sing
[Verse 1]
We're gonna rock and have a good time
Tonight's the night, the night we move
Together we will stand to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands
[Chorus]
Jesus, King, King of Kings
Jesus, makes me wanna sing
[Verse 2]
He makes me want to jump around
He keeps my feet above the ground
Tonight the night it's best to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands
[Repeat Chorus]
15. Reach Out
[Verse 1]
I was looking for the answer all the time
Always looking, never finding
I was empty inside
Falling into darkness
Needing the light to see
Reaching out for shelter
Then He set me free
[Chorus]
I reached out, You reach out, He'll reach out today
I reached out, You reach out, He'll reach out today
[Verse 2]
If you're looking for the answer, now this is the time
To stop looking and start finding that feeling inside
You don't need the darkness when there's a light to see
He'll provide the shelter and He'll set you free
[Repeat Chorus]
I'll reach out, I'll reach out
I'll reach out, I'll reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Oh, reach out today
I'll reach out today
16. From Wrong to Right
[Verse 1]
I've changed my ways from wrong to right.
The devil never pays, no, he robs just like a thief in the night
So many bands give the devil all the glory
It's hard to understand, we want to change the story
We want to rock one way, on and on.
You'll see the light some day
All say Jesus is the way.
[Verse 2]
Satan is a fool and it's so insane.
Some people think he's cool, you play with fire,
You'll feel the pain.
Why lose when you could win? Give God a try.
The devil's not your friend, the truth is not a lie.
I've changed my ways from wrong to wright
Evil never pays, no, the truth is not a lie.
[Repeat Chorus]
17. Loving You
[Verse 1]
I was so confused, not knowing what to do with myself.
I was being used, blinded I was headed for hell.
Then God saved me, pulled me from the heat.
It's always on my mind.
What a blessing that was sent to me.
Together we will shine and...
[Chorus]
I'm loving you.
I'm loving you.
I'm loving you.
I'm loving you.
[Verse 2]
Anger in my heart, life was such a drag for me.
Then I made a start to serve the living God, now I'm free.
You're my whole life, you're my lasting dream.
It's always on my mind.
What a blessing that was sent to me.
Together we will shine and...
[Repeat Chorus]
18. Believe
