Steelheart
Album • 1996
It was an early Monday morning I'm racing for the stars I had not time to smell no roses Catching a train for Mars I always tried to ride a rainbow I need something to prove But one day an old man turned and said Your burnin' out the fuse Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine A little rest is needed Leave the world behind Find a piece of mind In Bourbon street I had my palm read From the gypsy kind She said to me don't close no doorways Open up your mind Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine A little rest is needed Leave the world behind Find a piece of mind Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine A little rest is needed Leave the world behind Find a piece of mind Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine A little rest is needed Leave the world behind Find a piece of mind Take a little time, yeah, to drink your wine A little rest is needed Leave the world behind Find a piece of mind

(Will I live tomorrow?) Human race is up for grabs (Will I live tomorrow?) Who cares if it ain't your own (Will I live tomorrow?) Nothing to love nor feel (Will I live tomorrow?) Hangin’ on a live wire (Who do we follow?) Communication out of reach (Who do we follow?) To many fat me living of me (Who do we follow?) Living in a glass house, in lies (Who do we follow?) How will I know I'll live tomorrow Living in this heart of sorrow Every night I pray for vision But I know I live, I live to die (Will I live tomorrow?) You think your so damn brave (Will I live tomorrow?) A foot in your mouth, digging your grave (Will I live tomorrow?) This shoe doesn't fit my size (Will I live tomorrow?) How will I know I’ll live tomorrow Living in this heart of sorrow Every night I pray for vision But I know I live, I live to die How will I know I'll live tomorrow Living in this heart of sorrow Every night I pray for vision But I know I live, I live to die How will I know I'll live tomorrow Living in this heart of sorrow Every night I pray for vision But I know I live I live to die I live to die I live to die

I thought I left it all behind Again I stand with my tongue all tied All twisted up as life unfolds The world around me spins so cold, so cold Should I pack my bags in case If heaven lies in the wings of fate Here I stand a naked man Stripped me down with my pride in hand Oh, it such a shame The truth is lies And they're all the same Very well, sit alone in your electric chair I won't stand by you And watch you drown in your world Ice cold people runnin' in mid stream They're drawing a picture it's not what it seems Oh I can see right through them, it's so clear It's building up the pressure in between my ears Very well, sit alone in your electric chair I won't stand by you And watch you drown in your world Very well, sit alone in your electric chair I won't stand by you And watch you drown in your world Very well, sit alone in your electric chair I won't stand by you And watch you drown in your world Very well, sit alone in your electric chair I won't stand by you And watch you drown in your world Very well, sit alone in your electric chair I won't stand by you And watch you drown in your world

Show me live my friend You say you know it so well You say it's easy, I'm just blind And trust my life in faith No no more, no more, say no more, say no more Oh give me strength my friend Oh give me hope, a hand Don't criticize me Don't patronize me Don't try to change things You don't understand Yeah sometimes I just sit back And watch the whole damn world go by I can see so many people scrambling Just to stay alive Worried about everyone else But themselves

Sewn in the threads of life A man I used to know A man of peace and dignified Where do all the good go? Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh Oh save me now from wolves of concrete And poisoned souls Help me find my way Oh cleanse my sins And give me strength to defy My eyes - Absolution I pray Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh It feels so strange Buried here in a blackened way The mask I found has sealed my eyes I feel so aline I feel aline Ashamed and blind Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

Yeah I've been sitting 'round Just sticking it out with time Thinking a whole lot and I'm sick of all my cryin' Oh take me down, take me down Take me down inside It's too late to follow Too late to follow my pride Now tell me - How do I love, how can I love Yeah I've been hiding in the corners of my mind Been tried and convicted, committed no crime No ultimatum, they got me by the balls Now I've come too far, too run from it all Now tell me - How do I love, how can I love After all that we've been through We lost love Help me, Help me Where do I go from here

Gave me your heart Gave me everything you had When I was down And needed you the most Showed me love When I knew not what love was You shared your laughs And kissed away the tears You're my life You're the hand that leads me through Forever, baby, I'll keep on loving you I would crawl for a million miles Just to kiss the lips that made me smile Oh, that made me smile I was blind, I was on the run The night has a thousand eyes A heart but one, oh, the heart but one Oh, I just melt when your eyes meet mine Oh the thought of holding you, oh, just the thought of It's all your love that keeps me hanging on I count the days without you by my side It's all your love that keeps my dreams alive And, girl, I can't thank you enough For all your love, oh Tell me, child, will you love me when I grow old Will your tender touch be the same? 'Cause your heart means to me a world of gold And without you, baby, I'd be lost and cold, oh, no You make me feel like a superman I could take on the whole world With just one hand, oh, just one hand Girl, you make me feel so alive I could climb the highest mountain And touch the sky, oh, yes, I can I can't wait to make love tonight Oh, just the thought of holding you Oh, just the thought of, hey! It's all your love that keeps me hanging on I count the days without you by my side It's all your love that keeps my dreams alive And, girl, I can't thank you enough It's all your love that keeps me hanging on I count the days without you by my side It's all your love that keeps my dreams alive And, girl, I can't thank you enough It's all your love that keeps me hanging on Oh, it keeps me hanging, keeps me hanging on It's all your love that keeps my dreams alive And, girl, I can't thank you enough For all your love, mmm, mmm

I close my eyes And dream of a place I used to go A perfect world Only as a child I know Shaky walls and lookout holes A dirty floor, our own lil hideaway Yeah, I dream away So far away Take me there Back to Shangrila And I'll meet you there Warm in Shangrila Sometimes I hear All the voices from those single years Sometimes I see Ever since there used to be Sometimes it hurts so bad I can taste the tears of the memories Yeah, I dream away So far away Take me there Back to Shangrila And I'll meet you there Warm in Shangrila All the times when I'm alone I think of all that's come and gone Oh, and how I miss the days Through all the laughter and the tears That was shed through all the years In my hands they slip away

Oh miss a miracles I can hear you in my mind Softly though the night A solemn voice divine Oh miss a miracles I'm tangled in the vine In a world of love Your garden of delight When all the colors slowly fade And blossom to a gentle jade And every time I close my eyes I feel you always there You hold me with love and care You give me the strength of life You show me the garden of delight Oh miss a miracles I'm standing on the edge of time Overlooking eternity Save my life tonight I know, I know the dream is real I feel you always there You hold me with love and care You give me the strength of life You show me the garden of delight

Rain has covered sacred ground Love has turned a shade of grey A softly spoken helpless child A twist of fate come her way She's blind be the wool of the devil Chained to the cross of love A lonely face confused emotions A dying rose in rain And she lays down and prays As the tears roll down her face She trusted you, yeah to find the truth A virgin soul in pain Empty words on crumbled paper Streets with no names No one can save her now She lost all love, love, love Up ahead is hell on the horizon Pulling her down to his grave
