If I looked inside your heart
What would I find 
Would I see the pain 
And the dreams you left behind 

Who would I see 
A child or a mother
An innocent mind
And a so like no other 

Did you have any where to go
When the lights at the end
Of your block didn't glow
Did you have any where to hide
When you were scared
While the storm raged inside 

If you looked on the mirror 
Would it be who you hoped to see
The lines on your face tell a different tale
While the stars point out your dreams

Did you take a chance in New York City 
Where the Marque lights shine so bright 
Or did you try your hand in Vegas
Before your money was gone
And they threw you out into the night

I'm not a rich man
I don't have a hat above my door
I dont have a bed with silk sheets
Or fancy shoes to throw on the floor

I may not have enough
But what I have is mine
I'm not anybody special
But I'm still in my prime

Who are you
When no ones looking
Where are you
When no one's there
Are you a king on top of the world
Or a pawn without a care

I dont have a house on a hilltop
But I can see the lights just fine
And the stars that always show
With the birds above the sky

I may not have enough
But what I have is mine
I'm not anybody special
But I'm still in my prime

Who are you
When no ones looking
Where are you
When no one's there
Are you a king on top of the world
Or a pawn without a care

I'm somewhere
Trying to get nowhere.
I'm caught between
Halfway in
And good and gone.
I'm somebody
Trying to be a nobody one day.

We dig our own graves
By how we choose to live our lives.
Without passion we are already dead.

Love is a movie.
          You'll want to see what happens next,
                 But you'll hate the end.

May you always know
Who you have over your shoulder
May you have a hand to hold
When nights get colder
May you always give more
Than you receive
May you always believe

That theres still hope for the world
Remember all the young boys and girls
And the people on the streets
That you passed by today
Be a light in the dark
Let our love be the spark
To let them know that everything is okay
If we want to see tomorrow
It starts with us today


May you always have
A reason to live
May you always forgive
When its hard to forget
May you always be kind
To the end of the final stone
May you always be a friend
To those in need
May you always believe

That theres still hope for the world
Remember all the young boys and girls
And the people on the streets
That you passed by today
Be a light in the dark
Let our love be the spark
To let them know that
Everything is okay
If we want to see tomorrow
It starts with us today

Maybe I should stop
While I'm ahead
Throw in the towel
And make my bed


After everything
That we've been through
I cant imagine life
Without you



I can't say goodbye
I was born to be
More than just
An ordinary guy
And its really no surprise
No I can't imagine why
I don't want to live
An ordinary life

I was doing fine
Out On my own
Then I found you there
And took you home


After everything
That we've been through
I cant imagine life
Without you


I can't say goodbye
I was born to be
More than just
An ordinary guy
And its really no surprise
No I can't imagine why
I don't want to live
An ordinary life
