I'm picking up steam I'm leaving what I don't need I'm taking what stokes my fire I'm chasing my dreams I'm picking up steam Making headway For the future Using knowledge For a meaning Passions burning Turn to blazing As the process Feeds my drive I'm picking up steam I'm leaving what I don't need I'm taking what stokes my fire I'm chasing my dreams I'm picking up steam I'm on the edge of something good I wouldn't trade it if I could The greatest value that I know Is finding peace within the flow I'm picking up steam I'm leaving what I don't need I'm taking what stokes my fire I'm chasing my dreams I'm picking up steam All the baggage All the faces Conversations Born in passing Keep transcending With new meaning Time to grow from Contemplating I'm picking up steam I'm leaving what I don't need I'm taking what stokes my fire I'm chasing my dreams I'm picking up steam

I Go 03:02
To reep To sow To grow from what you know To bask To fret To learn what to forget To search To find To have the piece of mind To live To die To leave a reason why I go I do I live I love I know where I'm going I know what I'm doing I know where I'm Living I know Who I'm loving The push The drive The need to feel alive The will The way The want to seize the day The gap The goal The food to fuel the soul The head The heart The body to depart I go I do I live I love I know where I'm going I know what I'm doing I know where I'm Living I know who I'm loving

what you gave me can't be lost or broken I'll have it with me 'til the day I die I'll embrace it with intent to share it to give me purpose when they ask me why I'll pass it on to help those who need it to keep it moving through the sea of lies atmosphere we're under heavy metal thunder dirty river water and the spark inside it came calling when a need was chasing an open question for the hungry mind what came after was a want worth weaving a quest for knowledge in the passing time without question the momentum moves it as it closes on the finish line atmosphere we're under heavy metal thunder dirty river water and the spark inside as it passes we will feel it where it's headed they will too when it's over it will change us we're remember it through and through atmosphere we're under heavy metal thunder dirty river water and the spark inside now that you know it will it seep inside you or will you loose it to the wind and rain will it echo through timeless chambers or come to surface as a loss or gain before you know it it's already over will you be happy with the choice you made? atmosphere we're under heavy metal thunder dirty river water and the spark inside

The more we can do The more we can be I'll be good to you Will you be good to me? I'll hold you up In time of need I'll shelter you I'll take the lead Any way that I can I'll lend you a hand I'll be good to you As sure as I stand The more we can do... From New York to LA From the Keys to the bay Nothing is lost When we give it away In the hot summer sun On a cold winter night When the going gets tough I will stay for the fight The more we can do... To Lead with love No matter where To share what you know And answer with care For those who try The message is clear You reap what you sow And reflect what you hear The more we can do...

I don't know why I come around I don't know why You cut me down You're so toxic now I'm not into your vibe I don't know why I choose to stay I don't know why You act this way I feel conquered now Does that make you feel good We had the best times We had a great run We had a good thing We had the most fun When did the mood change Where did the love go Why Why are you so cold I know I said things I can't take back You ask for my help then you attack I feel like I'm lost with nowhere to go You treat me so mean you punch so low I don't know why I can't do right I don't know why You want to fight Before this life is through I hope we can find peace

gotta move past it, life is fantastic leaving won't be but a gateway forward hopeful future, two way main drag look both ways in time of worry stop now, go go go go drive, drive, drive, coast heal to the will of others move with the rhythm of life pause to reflect, reach out to connect, prepare for what's ahead calm water is a canvas a full moon is an invitation a tightrope is a pathway a threshold is a proposition the mystery of it all is written on the wall it's searching for a way to find the light of day make way for a new perspective give grace to a fractured soul look to the past, progression is fast join with the flow and go gotta move past it, life is fantastic leaving won't be but a gateway forward hopeful future, two way main drag look both ways in time of worry stop now, go go go go drive, drive, drive, coast

I got a heart that's true I got a mind that's clear I got my soul fire burning when my girl is near I got an eagle eye I got a name of stone I got friends to call when I'm feeling alone I got the fuel to fly I got the time to stall caught in the middle of knowing nothing at all I'm alive for now and I'm feeling fine I found peace with myself at the end of the line I don't want much I get what I need I'm living under budget in a wold of greed I got a race to run I ain't afraid to fall caught in the middle of knowing nothing at all before my days are done before my heart is cold before I understand the stories that have never been told before the biggest bought before the final blow before the sun swallows everything that I know I gonna make my way through life's beck and call caught in the middle of knowing nothing at all I got a heart that's true I got a mind that's clear I got my soul fire burning when my girl is near I got an eagle eye I got a name of stone I got friends to call when I'm feeling alone I got the fuel to fly I got the time to stall caught in the middle of knowing nothing at all I'm alive for now and I'm feeling fine I found peace with myself at the end of the line I don't want much I get what I need I'm living under budget in a wold of greed I got a race to run I ain't afraid to fall caught in the middle of knowing nothing at all

I'm Sorry 03:11
This weight will leave me when I'm gone my eyes are open from what I've done my mind is aching and I know I can rely on feeling low depressing memories are haunting me this lonely feeling won't let me be (chorus) I'm sorry I've made mistakes I'm reeling in my heartache these feelings won't let go will I break free? I don't know I'm alone now with my reflection days of darkness are my detention foolish actions, sharp and shallow made a wake for me to follow before I'm gone please forgive me I need a pardon hear my plea (chorus) I'm sorry I've made mistakes I'm reeling in my heartache these feelings won't let go will I break free? I don't know Time is drifting my spirit's cold my soul feels empty and dark as coal will my intentions have their way? or will this last for all my days life is changing forever more I hope someday I'll close the door (outro) to carry on with strong embrace what I learned from my disgrace and the importance of my past from this day until my last 'til my last

Build it up 02:27
heavy heartache of the hollow the lonely living lacking love the solum solace we surrender walking withered with our wants build it up, tear it down, turn it on, hear the sound in this life we are bound to the world spinning around the mental menace if the mainstream the fever fogging facts false the daunting dogma of the dying their retribution rolling on breathe in breathe out self pride self doubt high tide low tide slow ride fast route it's day it's night they love they fight my time your time our time is right now the freeing feeling of a farewell the passive program finding peace the act of aiming towards allowance evoking mystery to unleash build it up, tear it down, turn it on, hear the sound in this life we are bound to the world spinning around the gift of gaining graceful guidance the waking words to will the way the calming current of compassion to live for life and lead with love build it up, tear it down

Put your back into it - Do it If you want to you can shake that thing Live now let yourself be free In a moment of time Let go When you lose control You will find your passion Tune in Occupy your mind With a new intention Give back When you do you gain And we all can feel it Close your eyes, Free your mind, Move your spine Break the chains, Feed the flame, Take the time Be in tune, Feel the mood, Of your kind Here we are in a place in space With a common need Treble and bass Put your back into it - Do it If you want to you can shake that thing Seek truth In the beginning Of the roots you stem from Dig deep Find the foundation That you built your walls on Step back Look at the meaning of the flick that's screening Jump in A storm is brewing And the river's warmer Put your back into it - Do it If you want to you can shake that thing

I Feel Alive 02:10
I dip my toes into the soft mud I reach my hands up to the warm sun I feel the wind around my body I listen for the voice inside me I feel alive walk the shore to set my mind free to wake the rhythm that's inside me to break the pattern of monotony to get in touch with my philosophy I feel alive I put my ear on the tracks I put my eyes on the prize I put my mind in the race I found my ticket to ride I feel alive When I was ready to embrace it It came together like a handshake A spark of light inside the darkness My liberation from confinement I feel alive I lace my shoes with new perspective I climb the bank with new intentions I turn the key with motivation I move ahead with my convictions I feel alive I put my ear on the tracks I put my eyes on the prize I put my mind in the race I found my ticket to ride I feel alive

I got friends with felonies I got foes with jealousies I got songs with melodies I got the sun, the moon, the stars I got a home, a phone, a car And I know I got you to lean on When times are hard I don't run when I know I can walk I don't yell when I know I can talk I don't ween when I know I can rock I don't lie or jeopardize When I look into your eyes And you know you got me to lean on When times are hard We all need to share a little love Avoid a little push and shove Give the underdog a chance To change the circumstance So we can find peace in our hearts When the day is done We unite with victory We stand tall with liberty We walk on with history We live to seize the day We search to find a way And we know we got friends to lean on When times are hard I got friends with felonies I got foes with jealousies I got songs with melodies I got the sun, the moon, the stars I got a home, a phone, a car And I know I got you to lean on When times are hard
