LYRICS
Leap of Faith
Well you don't know what I've been through today
I lost my job, my wife and all my things
I met a man who said don't worry son
Just heed my words and you'll be number one
He said...

Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith

All my life I let them put me down
But now it's time I turn it all around
I won't take pressure from peers or next of kin
I've found a new life, it’s time I begin
So I'll..

Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith

Roll the dice, throw ‘em down
I’ll take a chance this time around

Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith
Take a Leap of Faith

Close your eyes now
And breathe deeply in

Prepare your heart and soul
For it’s time we begin

Trusting in ourselves
In all that we do

So take that leap of faith
Begin life anew

The Phoenix
The ship was shattered to pieces
Scattered across the ground
Is it such a Marvel Girl
That I might still be around?

From the flames
I am reborn
One with the sun
Filled with power
From solar rays
A god has risen today

Rising up from the ashes
A Phoenix from the flames
Claiming back my stakes now
It’s just the way I have planned

Wings spread wide
Lightning crackles the sky
Eyes gleam insane
Head held high
A fascist am I
The world feels my rage

Only I can end this tyranny
With one last thought of sanity
I cast my soul to eternity
The flame burns so deep

Look into the flames and tell me what do you see?
Rising from the dust
Witness resurrection you will scarcely believe…...
Lazarus wakes at last

Look into the flames and tell me what do you see?
Rising from the dust
The power of a God I have risen to be
Burning bright as the sun

Look into the flames and tell me what do you see...
Witness resurrection you will scarcely believe…

Look into the flames and tell me what do you see!

Desperate Heart
My tears are fallin'
Fallin' like rain
My heart is aching
Filled with pain

Only now I see the mistakes that I made
My wounded heart won't heal, the scars will never fade

Feel the beat of my desperate heart
My whole world's been torn apart
With every beat of my desperate heart
I'm crying out for your love

I think about all
The choices I've made
There's no denying
That I am to blame

I lost the only girl that I ever loved
It was all my fault, what was I thinking of?

Feel the beat of my desperate heart
My whole world's been torn apart
With every beat of my desperate heart
I'm crying out for your love

Long at last the mist drifts away
Revealing all the truths I locked in chains
I’m the reason I’m alone…

I know you'll go on
To find love again
But I'm on my own
Now until the end

Now it’s time for me to turn and walk away
I stand all alone to face my lonely days

Feel the beat of my desperate heart
My whole world's been torn apart
With every beat of my desperate heart
I'm crying out for your love

I've Changed
I've been thinkin' all about
What you said to me
How I never seem to take
Things seriously
You said I took for granted
Our relationship
But I just blew you off
And said get a grip

But you were right and I was wrong
You said our love won't last for long
Please stay

Cause baby I've changed
I was going through growing pains
I made some mistakes
Made your heart ache
Please don't you go away
Cause honey I've changed
Give us a chance again
I need you to say
That you wanna stay
Things'll be okay
Cause baby I've changed

Maybe it's not too late for me
To make a winnin' play
But I'm really feelin that I've
Already lost the game
I was an idiot it's true
I put myself in front of you
So now we'll pay the price
Our love was sacrificed

My head must be 'bout ten feet thick
Losing you would make me sick
Please stay
Cause baby I've changed
I was going through growing pains
I made some mistakes
Made your heart ache
Please don't you go away
Cause honey I've changed
Give me a chance again
I need you to say
That you wanna stay
Things'll be okay
Cause baby I've changed

I'm sure that now you will find
Our love is never left behind

What you're feelin' deep inside
Is 'cause of me
I never meant to hurt you
As you can see

I think I've learned a thing or two
Losing you would make me blue
Please stay

Cause baby I've changed
I was going through growing pains
I made some mistakes
Made your heart ache
Please don't you go away
Cause honey I've changed
Give me a chance again
I need you to say
That you wanna stay
Things'll be okay
Cause baby I've changed

Give Me a Chance
You're so cool
It's true
Everything looks good on you
You're so hot
And I'm not
Here I go I'm gonna give it a shot

You know you've got me hypnotized
You've got those big blue eyes
My heart is poundin' oh so fast
I'm beggin' you...

To give me a chance
You know you've got me in your trance
If I asked you to dance
Would it maybe start a romance
Oh baby...
Just give me a chance...

I'm so shy
I'm just a guy
You barely notice when I’m in the room
I'm gonna try
To say hi
And see where that leads us to...

You know you look so good tonight
I want to have you by my side
Not gonna wait one second more
I'm beggin' you...

To give me a chance
You know you've got me in your trance
If I asked you to dance
Would it maybe start a romance
Oh baby...
Just give me a chance...

To show you what's been on my mind
And maybe love is what we'll find...

I know I'm not a movie star
I don't drive a fancy car
I'm just a guy that wants you bad
I'm beggin' you...

To give me a chance
You know you've got me in your trance
If I asked you to dance
Would it maybe start a romance

So give me a chance
You know you've got me in your trance
If I asked you to dance
Would it maybe start a romance

Oh baby
Yeah maybe
You’ll give me a chance

Take Me Home
It's the sound of the city
It's the smell of the rain
Troubled times have stirred up feelings
Can I ever stop the pain

I won't get caught up in my pity
I'll just close my eyes and say

Take me home
In my mind, I'm already there
Take me home
Back to those who really care

Growing up outside the city
Playing in fields, woods, and lakes
With my family I was lucky
I was blessed by God's great grace

As I savor each sweet memory
I fall on my knees and pray

Take me home
In my mind, I'm already there
Take me home
Someday I’ll be on my way, I’m on my way!

When I’m feelin’ lost and weary
I turn toward my home and say

Take me home
To a place that’s callin’ my name
Take me home
Will things ever be the same?

Take me home
In my mind, I'm already there
Take me home
Cuz it’s there my heart remains

Date With Destiny
Runnin’ ‘round in circles, never touchin’ ground
Flyin’ through life with a chambered round
I met her on my way down, I should’ve turned away
My name is Destiny I heard her say

She and I decided
To steal the load
Easy money on a dark desert road
Livin’ a lie
I have a date with destiny
No alibi
Will ever save me
We live ‘till we die
It’s in the hands of fate, our lives
Running away from a date with destiny

She may be an angel, an angel far from grace
Tempting fate with a smile on her face
Heaven knows she’s trouble, yet we choose to stay
Bonnie and Clyde till the end of our days

She shot a guard
How could I have known?
A hundred grand would cost me my soul now I’m…

Livin’ a lie
I have a date with destiny
No alibi
Will ever save me
We live ‘till we die
It’s in the hands of fate, our lives
Running away from a date with destiny
Once In a Lifetime
All alone I sleep again
I'm wonderin' why you're gone
We lived our dreams and shared our hearts
Could this really be the end?

Did you lose the deep desire
That burned in your heart for me
Give us a chance to take it higher
Let me tell you what I mean...

Just once in a lifetime
We find a love that's true
Just once in a lifetime
I'd find someone like you
Just once in a lifetime
Did you feel it too?
Just once in a lifetime
Oh, the memories of you...

At almost two I look at you
Your picture hung upon the wall
The clock turns three I’m losing sleep
Tell me where our love went wrong?

In my heart there burns a fire
Eternal flame to you from me
‘Cause I need you, the one I desire
Let me tell you what I mean

Just once in a lifetime
We find a love that's true
Just once in a lifetime
I'd find someone like you
Just once in a lifetime
Did you feel it too?
Just once in a lifetime
Oh, the memories of you...

Did you lose the deep desire
That burned in your heart for me
Give us a chance to take it higher
Let me tell you what I mean...

Just once in a lifetime
We find a love that's true
Just once in a lifetime
I'd find someone like you
Just once in a lifetime
Did you feel it too?
Just once in a lifetime
Oh, the memories of you...

Live Your Dreams
Have I told you I am happy?
And have I told you you're the one?
I love to share our dreams together
We dream until the morning sun

You wanna climb the highest mountain
And I wanna fly to the stars
You can do what you want to
Just don't forget who you are

Have you seen the Eiffel Tower?
Walked along China's Great Wall?
Or seen Aurora Borealis?
I dream someday we'll see it all

You will climb the highest mountain
And I'll find my way to the stars
I wish that all your dreams will come true
Just don't forget who you are!

Live your dreams
Accept yourself for who you are
Live your dreams
And tell yourself you will go far
Be an actor or join a band and play guitar
Be a lawyer, it doesn't matter what you are
Go on and live your dreams!
Be a doctor and cure the world of all disease
Write a novel and sell a million copies
Go on and live your dreams!
Buy a sail boat and sail the seven seas
Go on and live your dreams!
Go on and live your dreams!
Look Me in the Eyes
You’re a hungry soul
With a heart that’s so cold
You play the game
But the rules you change
I’m hearin’ talk around town
They say you’re catin around
I’m feelin’ totally gipped
I want to hear it from your lips

So look me in the eyes
Drop your thin disguise
I’ve had it with all your lies
Tell me what’s your side?

Talk is cheap
Like your love it seems
I thought you cared
But they saw you there
I’m no fool, life can be pretty cruel
And so can you it seems
Come on hon, were you havin’ some fun?
Why don’t you tell me the truth?

So look me in the eyes
Drop your thin disguise
I’ve had it with all your lies
Where were you last night?

Look me in the eyes
Drop your thin disguise
I’ve had it with all your lies
Look me in the eyes
In the eyes

Hollywood Movie Star
Admiration from all of your peers
That’s something you always wanted
You worked the diner and fought through the tears
You thought you’d never get spotted

But all you ever needed
Was a chance to get things started
And you worked, you begged, you pleaded
For your shot at super stardom
Your dreams came true

Now LA is where you are
A Hollywood movie star
You made it to the silver screen
A box office drawing queen

Infatuation is perfectly clear
They love your face and your body
They stare at you with the lights down dear
Dolby in every corner

But all you really needed
Was a chance to get things started
And you worked, you begged, you pleaded
For your shot at super stardom
Your dreams came true

Now LA is where you are
A Hollywood movie star
You made it to the silver screen
They make love to you with every scene…

First Time for Everything
You wake up in the morning sun
I kiss the smile upon your face
Innocence finally came undone
Our love and passion couldn’t wait.

I said do you know that friends can still be lovers
You tried to hide the fear in your eyes
And that's when I said

There's a first time for everything
Spread your wings and come and fly with me
There's a first time for everything
Share your heart and see what love will bring

So we’re at the altar
We stand together face to face
We made a vow we'll grow older
And stay together all our days

I said are you sure that you can love me forever
You looked at me with so much love in your eyes
And that's when you said

There's a first time for everything
Spread your wings and come and fly with me
There's a first time for everything
You and I were always meant to be

There's a first time for everything
Spread your wings and come and fly with me
There's a first time for everything
Take my hand come spend your life with me

Oh there’s a first time, Oh a very first time
We’ll share all of life’s sweet treasures
Yes there’s a first time, Oh a very first time
We’ll face the storms together

There’s a first time
Our lives have changed for better
There’s a first time
Love can last forever

There’s a first time for everything
