THE BOY CAN SING THE BLUES
What’s done is done
You need a good shock
Got 20/20 visions
It’s time to rock ‘n roll
I’m gonna take you to the top
I’m gonna come clean
You know it’s my time
How have you been?
I hope by now that you’ve heard the news
It’s good to be back ‘cause the boy can sing the blues
I’m gonna spread the word
I’m gonna get down
In your face
To your town
I’m gonna sing my song like never before
Take you down to the killing floor
I hope by now that you’ve heard the news
It’s good to be back ‘cause the boy can sing the blues
I’m gonna whirl it up like a hurricane
I’m coming out like a runaway train
You know I’ve passed the test, what can I say?
I’ve done my time and now I’m on my way
I hope by now that you’ve heard the news
It’s good to be back and the boy can sing the blues, you know he can
I hope by now that you’ve heard the news
It’s good that I’m back ‘cause the boy can sing the blues
I’M THE MAN
You’ve got the right information
Let me take you by the hand
Let the sun baby warm and light
I hope you’ll understand
My salvation
I do the best I can
I’m the keeper of the dream
I’m the one you will be seeing

You know that I love you
You are my destiny
Invitation

Let me make it clear
Your fear will disappear
Tell me you believe
And wipe away the tears

You know I’ll be waiting
So be there if you can
One way or another
You got to understand
My salvation
I do the best I can
I’m the keeper of the dream
I’m the one you will be seeing
I’m the man
HERE COME THE REBEL
I gotta warn you babe, you’ve been told
I can sleep, you know you got me wrong
I think about you babe day and night
I can see street doll and the thin right
Won’t you let things be ‘cause you’re my friend
Here come the rebel baby once again
You got me wrong and babe I’m your slave
Just big gun you’ll show good you behave
You packed a hat you gotta quit that stuff
That’s loose enough no babe enough is enough
Won’t you let things be ‘cause you’re my friend
Here come the rebel baby once again
I’m a rebel baby
If you keep mistreatin’ me this way
You’ll wake up and now the gun’s on dead
If ask yourself is this is wrong or right
Woke up the dead you can win this fight
Won’t you let things be ‘cause you’re my friend now
Here come the rebel baby once again
Here come the rebel baby once again

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAVE ME ANYMORE
I’m ritual

From a holy man you see
I’m spiritual
As I can be
All I want is your company
Some gotta have it
Some got no use for love you see
I’m asking to you
You mean a sign
Oh, time after time
Are you prepared
To make the stand?
To raise the one at your command?
Some gotta have it
Some got no use for love you see
You don’t have to save me anymore
Save me
You don’t have to save me anymore
Now I don’t have
To walk at ____
Oh baby I had _____
And I can look
Into the sun
Oh baby I’m not the only one
Some gotta have it
Some got no use for love you see
You don’t have to save me anymore
Save me
You don’t have to save me anymore
I’m ritual
I have deceived
From a holy man you see
I’m spiritual
As I can be
All I want is your company
Some gotta have it
Some got no use for love you see
You don’t have to save me anymore
Save me
You don’t have to save me anymore
SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE
Won’t you sit yourself down
And ease your mind
Got a hold on my love

So that you may live
‘cause I’ve got so much love to give
Let me kiss you again
What will be a vain
Let me love you and then
Will you stay with me?
‘Cause this is my life
My life can’t you see
And I’ve got so much love to give
So much, so much to give
Oh so much
And I’ve got so much love to give
Now I ask you my love
Oh can it be?
Thank you for loving
A man like me

So that I could live
And I’ve got so much love to give
So much, so much to give
Oh so much
And I’ve got so much love to give
SHAKE THE GROUND

LIFE OF MISERY
There was a time in my life
When I was a gambler
Did not know wrong from right
Love was a stranger
Well I thought I could take on the world
Nothing else mattered
Then I woke up and found out the truth
My dreams have been shattered
I will never take that road again
That treated me unkind
All wanna do is live today
‘Cause today I’m feeling fine
Can’t you see I’ve had enough
I won’t live a life of misery
When it’s getting pretty rough
I won’t live a life of misery
Without a ____ ____ the cold chill
I was a fool then
I almost done what would be thrill
Why did it happen?
A young boy in a man’s world
Playing with fire
But I’ve got burned in a big way
I’m not no liar
I will never take that road again
That treated me unkind
All wanna do is live today
‘Cause today I’m feeling fine
Can’t you see I’ve had enough
I won’t live a life of misery
When it’s getting pretty rough
I won’t live a life of misery
There was a time in my life
When I was a gambler
Did not know wrong from right
Love was a stranger
Well I thought I could take on the world
Nothing else mattered
Then I woke up and found out the truth
My dreams have been shattered
I will never take that road again
That treated me unkind
All wanna do is live today
‘Cause today I’m feeling fine
Can’t you see I’ve had enough
I won’t live a life of misery
When it’s getting pretty rough
I won’t live a life of misery
Can’t you see I’ve had enough
I won’t live a life of misery
When it’s getting pretty rough
I won’t live a life of misery
Can’t you see babe
CAN’T TAKE AWAY MY PRIDE
Listen
I’ve been working babe, it’s getting pretty late
24/7 I just can’t wait
I like to think about at home what I’ll do
All I wanna do babe is love you
I will walk and you _______ on hesitate
We can make it babe
When I was younger
This world‘s a mess
I was confused
I must confess
I used to party when the sun went down
I was lost, I was a man ______ town
And I’ve been blessed and I found you
We’re gonna make it girl
You can’t take away my obsession
You can’t take away my pride
And now I’ve learnt my lesson
And now I’m moving
And you can’t take away my pride
Now if you want you’ll get a lesson in love
Just close your eyes and get a hand from above
All you need is just a little faith
Here comes now babe, just you wait
All you gotta do is live from day to day
We can make it babe
They can’t take away my obsession
They can’t take away my pride
And now I’ve learnt my lesson
And now I’m moving
And they can’t take away…
Can’t take away my obsession
Can’t take away my pride
And now I’ve learnt my lesson
And now I’m moving
And they can’t take away my pride
A RIGHT TO LIVE
I’m walking down
On the street of love
Don’t hear a sound
Only God above
I should have known
On that winter’s day
That you were the one
Who changed my life in every way
You don’t have to worry anymore
‘Cause I’ve got a right to live
You stole my wheel
From the very start
A bad situation
I was lost in the dark
I don’t have to fight
To get what is mine
‘Cause all the footprints in the sand
Have been there all the time
You don’t have to worry anymore
I don’t wanna talk
‘Cause something’s got to give, you know
I’ve got a right to live
I don’t wanna listen
I hope you will forgive me, you know
I’ve got a right to live
There was the maze
That I ______ for love
I was afraid
That my heart was gonna stop
I called out your name
I said: “Come rescue me”
There’s a vision of light
When you set me free
You don’t have to worry anymore
I don’t wanna talk
‘Cause something’s got to give, you know
I’ve got a right to live
I don’t wanna listen
I hope you will forgive me, you know
I’ve got a right to live
I understand that you love me
I understand that you care
I understand that nobody else
Could love me quite the way that you do
I don’t wanna talk
‘Cause something’s got to give, you know
I’ve got a right to live
I don’t wanna listen
I hope you will forgive me, you know
I’ve got a right to live
I don’t wanna talk
‘Cause something’s got to give, you know
I’ve got a right to live
I don’t wanna listen
I hope you will forgive me, you know
I’ve got a right to live
