Sitting in a mockingchair Miles on the telephone He says that Lois left him And he might have left for good I guess fighting crime is over rated when you're fighting at home Even if you see through walls Superman where are you now? Since you can't fly back to Krypton anyhow And what does that say bout the modern man? If divorce got superman There is crime back in the streets Vigilante visionaries with love and their feet There is action by the court house Where lois lane plans to spit it all out loud And everyone is dying to know Where did their super love go flying off too And what does that say about the modern man If divorce got superman Nobody's ready or willing to say That love can fade And how does that comment on modern man That divorce got superman

Yeah, Yeah 03:15
When it's dark out I grab my guitar And start me a strumming the deep night blues And that hand makes me shine a little brighter Lets me sing with the hues of a dawn And when that star hits my hands All I wanna do is clap em and sing Yeah When it's rainin' grab my guitar And I start me a playing with the tears of the clouds And that makes us sing a little higher Like the mist of the vast Andes When there's clouds overhead Hydrating the Mother and every brother sing Yeah Yeah An' when it's bright out I grab my guitar We sing thanks to the cherry hued skies And that makes us laugh a little louder Maybe loud enough so that all heaven may hear So when there's sun up ahead With crystal skies in our head Full cup of wine with bread Raise up our voice let the whole world sing it Yeah Raising our voices let the whole world sing it Yeah Live out loud and the whole world sing it Yeah Raising our voices let the whole world sing it Yeah Live out loud let the whole world sing it Yeah

Oh Mercy Me I’ve done it again Built me a ladder Going straight into heaven It’s a long way to climb When you know what awaits So I tear down the ladder And start building it straight Oh My God Sitting up above I Pray to you, to me, to Love Cause all us people living way down here Are living holy moments within atmosphere Oh Dear God from way up high No need for waiting cause the spirit don’t die There can be angels living way down here Just breathe in the sunshine you’ve been breathing for years Oh mercy me I’ve done it now I find i’m at the gates And I don’t know Encrusted in gold The arches arise Until the scene changes Cause I changed my mind Oh My God Sitting up above I Pray to you, to me, to Love Cause all us people living way down here Are living holy moments within atmosphere Oh Dear God from way up high No need for waiting cause the spirit don’t die There can be angels living way down here Just breathe in the sunshine you’ve been breathing for years 
Oh My God Where we reside I Pray to you, to me inside Cause all us people living deep in there Are living holy moments within atmosphere I know i’m a God when i’m aware of my will I know i’m a God when I am standing still I know i’m a God and not a bottle of pills I know i’m a God and i’ll stay one until Know that you’re a God when unaware of your will Know that you’re a God and you’ll stay one until Know that you’re a God when you’re aware of your will Know that you’re a God and you’ll stay one until Know that you’re a God and not a bottle of pills Know that you’re a God and you’ll stay one

Hero 03:47
Do you wish I was the ocean? Unravelling the stars in your hair Strand after strand Crashing onto a beach with your name in the sand Our body could be splayed and opened By the tide Where liquids hearts Meander in deeper waters Do you wish I was a soldier? Shooting arrows from the strings of a harp While we bury land mines You and your soldier In an ocean An ocean of Green Is that what you want me to be? Is that the length of God? Is that what you want me to be? Humanity. Simply. Is that what you want me to be? A canvas? To paint vast landscapes of the mind And creation A piece of potential. Edged white border guards for a world in your chest I'm gonna be a Hero When the letters of my title are worth more than gold The hammer and heart Is the pulse of the drum A pulse of a drum in the seat of the world A pulse in the mind of a raindrop Merging with the ocean Merging with the soldiering on of Tide and sea and Foam and Foam and Foam and Foam

It's the start of something beautiful It's the start of something beautiful No flower, Sun, or skyline could Ever quite compare It's the start of something magical It's the start of something magical I'll softly sing to you as You let down your hair It's the start of something beautiful It's the start of something beautiful Take the Sun and stars But this Love is gonna stay The Sun, the stars, the moon may go away But this Love is here to stay Yeah

Dreamers 03:08
We are not impressed We are not impressed At the factories or the smokestacks No we are not impressed And we are sick of war Yeah real sick of war Don't want it on the Earth no more Yeah we are sick of war Despite what they may think We are not asleep But we dream We dream We dream We dream big We want real change And we'll get real change Like Wall Street for a make love exchange We want real change Despite what they may think We are not asleep (No no no) But we dream We dream We dream We dream of Someone somewhere somewhen somehow will hug another Someone somewhere somewhen somehow will help their brother Someone somewhere somewhen somehow will sing to mother Someone somewhere somewhen somehow will love each other

Little boys and little girls afraid of the dark Of being alone with their insider spark So they shut off the moon with the flick of a switch The stars cannot shine on a night such as this When did all the shadows get to be so long? When did feeling loneliness turn to being strong? When did all the people get used to being scared? At the monsters out their window, in their hearts and in their heads? Bigger boys and bigger girls look underneath their bed Though the monsters of their youth have residence inside their heads Younger boys and younger girls Feeling more alive Than half the world who think and speak with closed eyes Know that the streaming light is not a shining test But aims to break the shadows from the fortress in your chest When did all the shadows get to be so long? When did feeling loneliness turn to being strong? When did all the people get used to being scared? At the monsters out their window, in their hearts and in their heads?

Sometimes I wish I was an astronaut instead Entangled with the stars while sipping my tea Tasting all their subtleties, The lights and me, On a sea of stars Now a wind blows south Can you hear it? Gentle whispers and tea cup clinks Over salt air. Fate and the sea are having a tea party, Waving at me while Sipping Earl Grey Don't go down with the ship Sail into the air Catching an updraft On the sea of no cares Then you can cry out To the deep blue down below I may be a sailor But up I go! Is it just me or do compasses seem To never point north? How's a man with any kind of plan Supposed to move on forward? Under present conditions I've got my suspicions That stars will speak to rocks Listen in close, when your ship floats low You can hear the talk talk talk talk I won't go down with the ship I'll sail into the air Caught in an updraft On the sea of no cares We don't go down with the ship We sail into the air Caught in an updraft On the sea of no cares And we will call down To the water below We may just be sailors But up we go!

On your mark, get set, go for the brake Your mind's at the wheel and it's weighing mistakes Sure we place last cross the finish line But a race never taken is lost every time So put some pedal to that steel Go put some smoke on those wheels Key the ignition give it a turn Bathe with the rumble bend when it burns Every sensation feels alive Red amber green punch it and drive drive drive Punch it and drive drive drive Roll out move it right along Life's out there waiting and the sun grows long So put some pedal to that steel Put some smoke on those wheels So roll out move it right along Life's out there waiting and the sun rays grow long So Put some pedal to that steel Put some smoke on the wheels Put some smoke on those wheels Put some smoke on those wheels Put some smoke on those Wheels
