In the streets of San Francisco up in Washington, D.C. 
there’s a movement that’s crossing all the lines while we speed into the future, 
the deceiver plants the seeds 
and he hides from you the truth behind the lies 

The blind will lead the blind 
into the valley of sorrow 
into the night they will ride 
if you look behind the secrets, 
in between the lust and greed 

you will see the motives coming from the heart 
in the shadows of division, 
in the cracks of human pride 
we only fight for what we cannot hide 

the blind will lead the blind 
into the valley of sorrow 
into the night they will ride 

can’t you see there’s a levy of tears in my eyes and I don’t know if I can hold back 
take the trouble and pain that my two eyes have seen
and I know that the future is black 

look at you now 
look at you now, baby 
the future is black 
there’s no turning back 
the future is black 

(solo) 

see the world spinning out of control 
one look in the past the future won’t last 
can’t you see there’s a levy of tears in my eyes and I don’t know if I can hold back 

take the trouble and pain that my two eyes have seen and I know that the future is black 
look at you now 

look at you now, baby 
the future is black 
there’s no turning back 
the future is black 

FLY AWAY 

when you’re lost inside the dead of night 
you can hear the city rage 
another one kills and another one dies 
and another one shares the pain 
see the murder and the rape 
and a cop on the take 

don’t you know that it never ends 
the sun will rise and the sun will set 
but there’s madness in the hearts of men 
caught in the circle with no end in sight 

better turn yourself another page 
I’m sick and tired of all the hopeless talk 
‘cuz nothing’s ever gonna’ change 
think I’ll fly away into the setting sun 
away from the dark of the night 

‘cuz the only time that I feel alright is with you caught in the middle of an endless fight 
it comes down to time and chance 
got a lot or a little, better enjoy life 

‘cuz you don’t know whether love or hate 
is waiting outside your door 
so you better pray, there’s no delay 
from the one that’s worth living for 

gonna’ fly away into the setting sun 
away from the dark and the night 
‘cuz this crazy world lives under the gun 
it’s only a matter of time 

gonna’ fly away into the setting sun 
away from the dark and the night 
‘cuz the only time that I feel alright is with you 

(solo) 

stuck in the middle in the dead of night 
you can hear the city rage 
better turn yourself another page 
generations come, generations go 

nothing’s ever gonna change 
gonna’ fly away into the setting sun 
where the light was praying for their lives 
 

WARRIOR 

I could see the city lights 
then they turned to black 
then I heard a sirens crying sounding 
out attack! 
I could see the rockets glare 

shooting in the night 
everyone was praying for their lives 
am I dreaming 
I don’t believe it 
am I wrong or right 

then I heard a voice say in the night 
I’m a warrior, take my hand! 
let me lead you to the promised land 
I’m a warrior, take my hand! 

I’m a soldier under his command 
then I saw this blinding light 
I heard a sonic boom 
I could feel the earth shake in the doom 

I couldn’t see him 
but I could feel him 
lift me to the sky 
I could hear the voice that saved my life 

I’m a warrior, take my hand! 
let me lead you to the promised land 
I’m a warrior, take my hand! 
I’m a soldier under his command 

(solo) 

am I dreaming 
I don’t believe it 
am I wrong or right 
then I heard a voice say in the night 
I’m a warrior, take my hand! 

let me lead you to the promised land 
I’m a warrior, take my hand! 
I’m a soldier under his command 
I’m a warrior 
take my hand! 
 
 

I’LL WAIT ** 

They say in time that all my wounds will heal 
but they don’t know all the pain I feel 
so I ask you now, won’t you be my guide 
and maybe hold me to the end of time 

and if I look into your eyes 
what will I see 
will it be the answer the the mystery 

I’ll wait for you tonight 
I’ll wait with open arms 
and if it takes forever 
to make it right 
I’ll wait to ‘til the end of time 

I’ll wait for you 
a painted picture says a thousand words 
I see the colors, but I never learn 
I ask you this, have I gone too far 
or am I reaching for a shooting star 
and if I look into your eyes what will I see 
will it be the answer to the mystery 

I’ll wait for you tonight 
I’ll wait with open arms 
and if it takes forever to make it right 

I’ll wait to ‘til the end of time 
I’ll wait for you 

(solo) 

I’ll wait for you tonight 
I’ll wait with open arms 
and if it takes forever to make it right 

I’ll wait to ‘til the end of time 
I’ll wait for you tonight 
I’ll wait with open arms 
and if it takes forever 
to make it right 

I’ll wait to ‘til the end of time 
I’ll wait for you 
 
 

HOLD THE LINE 

I see you standing in your garden full of stone wrapped around your heart so you will never be alone can’t you see I want to 
give you all you need don’t you know by now 

there’s no future in the past when life goes by so fast- 
just hold the line (hold the line) 
life’s a journey til the end of time (hold the line) and soon the sun will rise 

your sanctuary is hanging from a chain 
wrapped around your neck 
, but it won’t take away the pain 
seems to me you don’t know what to believe 

you should know by now 
when the sands of wasted time leave you high and dry- 
just hold the line (hold the line) 

life’s a journey til the end of time (hold the line) and soon the sun will rise 
the end of time (hold the line) 
soon the sun will shine just hold the line (hold the line) 

life’s a journey til 
the end of time (hold the line) 
soon the sun will shine just hold the line (hold the line) you’ve got to hold on 

hold on, hold the line 
 

The beggar on the street, it’s enough to make you weep 
he wants something he can shoot through his veins 
tearing up the place when the heart begins to race 
and the needle fills the great escape 

selling neverland, build your house upon the sand 
with your feet planted deep in the grave 
wasting precious time, trying to kill his empty mind 
and his spirit’s dying on the way 

your life is just a mist before the late autumn breeze 
there’s got to be a reason for the air we breathe 
where’s the wrong with the share 

where’s the hope, we need to care where’s the faith in our society something’s wrong with the world today 
something’s wrong with the world today 

shooting in the park, raping in the dark 
child abuse going on and on 
stealing everywhere and no one seems to care 
fornication running all around 

trying to find a reason for the things that we do 
no one’s got a minute when there’s nothing to prove 

trying to find a reason for the things that we do 
no one’s got a minute when there’s nothing to prove 
where’s the love we need to share 

where’s the hope, we need to care where’s the faith in our society 
find the justice and the law 
where’s the peace, where has it gone 
who’s the jury of our sanity 

something’s wrong with the world today 
something’s wrong with the world today 

(solo) 

something’s wrong with the world today 
something’s wrong with the world today 
 

ANSWER TO THE MASTER 

You keep on running, been lonely for too long 
out on the boulevard, the hammer’s coming down 
you feel the pressure, the fire in the storm 

you need another way, a shelter from the war 
let me take you past the fears inside your mind 
let me take you to the mansion in the sky 

answer to the master, gonna’ bring you to your knees 
breakaway the chains, he will give you rest 

answer to the master, when we reach our destiny 
every knee shall bow, every toungue confess 
do you remember the power of the flame 

your mama told you that love will never end 
you used to tell me there’s freedom in the sky 
you’re staying down too long, it’s time for you to fly 
let me take you past the limits of your mind 

let me take you to the mansion in the sky 
answer to the master, gonna bring you to your knees 
breakaway the chains, he will give you rest 
answer to the master, when we reach our destiny 
every knee shall bow, every tongue confess 

(solo) 

answer to the master, gonna’ bring you to your knees 
breakaway the chains, he will give you rest 
answer to the master, when we reach our destiny 

every knee shall bow, every tongue confess 
answer to the master, gonna’ bring you to your knees 
breakaway the chains, he will give you rest 
answer to the master, when we reach our destiny 

every knee shall bow, every tongue confess 
answer to the master, gonna’ bring you to your knees 
breakaway the chains, he will set you free 
 
 

HUNGRY DAYS 

I was a young boy when I heard the music call 
staring at the concert stage my spirit craved it all 
blinded by the spotlight, seduction rules the game 
sold my soul to rock and roll, 

there’s no one else to blame 
I still feel the power 
I still feel it knocking at my door 

hungry days 
I remember hungry days 
now I’m a young man I see a different light 
shining down upon me, there’s no fear, no end in sight 
music is the magic and money is the slave 
standing on the solid rock now 

nothing seems the same 
I still feel the power 
I still hear it knocking at my door 

hungry days! 
I still remember hungry days searching for my only fantasy hungry days, oh, remember hungry days 
time forever slips away 
 
 

THE KING IS RISING 

Every morning on the evening news I hear the same ol’ story someone singing the blues 
disaster striking out and you’re not ready 

California quakes and the Midwest floods 
see the hurricanes and the Malibu mud 
ice and snow, you know it drives you crazy 

I hear the prophet of the modern day 
shouting out from the side of the stage the kind is rising 
will you be ready to stand up and fight 
there’s feeling all across the land times are tough--getting way out of hand 
crime is on the run and there’s no safety 

war in the streets, the economy nothing stays the same and there’s nothing for me 
everybody’s frantic for the sure thing I see the prophet of the modern day stepping out from society’s cage 

the king is rising will you be ready to stand up and fight 

the king is rising will you be ready to lay down your life 

I don’t think he’ll take any longer, no, 
I don’t think he’ll take any more 

(solo) 

the king is rising will you be ready to stand up and fight 

the king is rising will you be ready to lay down your life
