Hi my name is Bob and I work at my job I make forty-some dollars a day I used to be the man in my hometown ′til I started to lose my way It all goes back to when I dropped out at school Having fun, I was living the life But now I got a problem with that little white rock See I can put down the pipe
And...
And it′s breaking me down Watching the world spin round While my dreams fall down Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down No more friend around... And my dreams fall down... Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me? ′Cause I can′t seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? ′Cause I can′t seem to see myself... There′s gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell? Can anybody out there feel me? ′Cause I can′t seem to feel myself
Losing my way Keep losing my way... Keep losing my way... Can you help me find my way? Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way... Can you help me find my way?
Now you gotta understand I was a family man I would have gave anything for my own But I couldn′t get a grip on my new found itch So I ended up all alone I remember where I was when I got my first buzz See I thought I was living the life And the craziest thing is I′ll probably never know the color of my daughter′s eyes
And it is breaking me down Watching the world spin round While me dreams fall down Is anybody out there?
It is breaking me down No more friend around... And my dreams fall down... Is anybody out there?
Can anybody out there hear me? ′Cause I can′t seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? ′Cause I can′t seem to see myself There′s gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell? Can anybody out there feel me? ′Cause I can′t seem to feel myself.
Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help find my way? Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help me find my way?
Oh my god please forgive me (father hear my pray) ′Cause I know I′ve done some wrong in this life If I could do it all again Have just one more chance To take all those wrongs and make them right
Can anybody out there hear me? ′Cause I can′t seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? ′Cause I can′t seem to see myself There′s gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell Can anybody out there feel me? ′Cause I can′t seem to feel myself.
Can anybody out there hear me? ′Cause I can′t seem to hear myself Can anybody out there see me? ′Cause I can′t seem to see myself There′s gotta be a heaven somewhere Can you save me from this hell Can anybody out there feel me? ′Cause I can′t seem to feel myself
Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help me find my way? Losing my way Keep losing my way Keep losing my way Can you help me find my way?
I came to tell you How it all began Nothing seems to work out right I′m broken down again So hold me now And say it′s not forever Maybe someday In time
Things will go my way Things will go my way
I′ve pushed to get through The crowds in twisted souls Just to find I′m right back here Doing what I′m told So take my hands Don′t let me surrender ′Cuz maybe someday Yeah, in time
Things will go my way Things will go my way
For all the lies I′ve tasted Just looking for the truth For all the dreams I′m chasing Well what am I to do When everything′s against me The answers are all wrong I′m hoping that I′ll find out It was worth it all along
So hold me now And say it′s not forever Maybe someday In time
Things will go my way Things will go my way Things will go my way
For all the lies I′ve tasted Just looking for the truth For all the dreams I′m chasing Well what am I to do When everything′s against me The answers are all wrong I′m hoping that I′ll find out

I have not been home since you left long ago I′m thumbing my way back to heaven counting steps, walking backwards on the road I′m counting my way back to heaven I can′t be free with what′s locked inside of me if there was a key, you took it in your hand there′s no wrong or right, but I′m sure there′s good and bad the questions linger overhead no matter how cold the winter, there′s a springtime ahead I′m thumbing my way back to heaven I wish that I could hold you I wish that I had thinking ′bout heaven I let go of a rope, thinking that′s what held me back and in time I′ve realized, it′s now wrapped around my neck I can′t see what′s next, from this lonely overpass hang my head and count my steps, as another car goes past all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives choosing the shiny ones instead I turned my back, now there′s no turning back no matter how cold the winter, there′s a springtime ahead I smile, but who am I kidding? I′m just walking the miles, every once in a while I′ll get a ride I′m thumbing my way back to heaven thumbing my way back to heaven I′m thumbing my way back to heaven...
And now, the end is here And so I face the final curtain My friend, I′ll say it clear I′ll state my case, of which I′m certain I′ve lived a life that′s full I traveled each and ev′ry highway And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I′ve had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I′m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I′ve loved, I′ve laughed and cried I′ve had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way, "Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I′ll say it clear, I′ll state my case, of which I′m certain.
I′ve lived a life that′s full. I′ve traveled each and ev′ry highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets, I′ve had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I′m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.
I′ve loved, I′ve laughed and cried. I′ve had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
I don′t know how to let you go I′ve given to you all of me, all that I′ll ever be We share the same heart and soul I want you to believe in me See through my eyes and you will know I′ll take my chance that you will come home to me Even if it takes some time for you to work it out I′ll be there
[Chorus:] I still got a ways to go So far away from home Inside I always knew I would find my way to you [repeat] Find my way...
If I could be everything you want If I could change everything that I have done Only you know where I have gone I want to prove I am worthy to be called yours I need you more that I ever have And I don′t want to stay, try and find me if you can If I get lost along the way, please don′t foget me Know that I′ll be there
[Chorus]
I′ll be there [x4] I′ll be there [x4]
[Chorus]
I′ll be there [x4] I′ll be there [x4] I′ll find my way to you...
I′ve got to change my ways I′ve got to change my ways I′ve got to change my ways I′ve got to buy a new dress, and do my hair My hair is everywhere - these days I′ve got to change my ways
I could change my name, and change my number Change my frame of mind from slumber I′ve got to change my ways
I′ve got to change my ways I want to change the world I can′t even change this girl I want to change the world But I can′t even change myself I′ve got to change my ways
I′ve got to change my attitude I′ve got to change my diet I′ve got to change my quiet moods I′ve got to change that hi hat I′ve got to change that ringtone on my phone I′ve got to change my habits I′ve got to go to Rome in the fall Before I′ve had it
I′m on my way – to the places only you have seen So far away – show me places where I′ve never been Come touch my soul – you′re here to fill this life of mine Take my control – this Midas touch is all divine
I am your light, the keeper of the flame You are the night causing sweetest pain
And I feel it is real – nothing I can hide inside A spirit took me back to life again And I see it is real – forgotten′s what I used to be A new born soul, I′m on my way
To where all dreams whisper your name I′m yours to take – made in heaven, not in vain In your dark eyes – lies the suffering of my pride Look at my tries – to fight this longing I can′t hide
You′re what I need – got me out of mind You will take the lead – forever, I′ll be blind
And I feel it is real – nothing I can hide inside...
Once I thought this could not happen Solitary, my soul, now gone astray
And I feel it is real – nothing I can hide inside...
I′m bound to wander where All of your glitter′s going But I′m so far from knowing And none of my instincts showing Kick in, kick in I′m screaming from outside in Tell me where I′ve been There′s nowhere to return to out there
I think I′ve lost my way But that′s just not news today Because the story′s old The black and white Have gone to grey The story′s old The black and white Have gone to grey And you were right Cause I finally lost my way
And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway; And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets, I’ve had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew (not "know") When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way.
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried. I’ve had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, No, oh no not me, I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught.(not "NOT") To say the words he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain You cunt, Iґm not a queer Iґll state my case, of which Iґm certain Iґve lived a life thatґs full And each and every highway And yet, much more than this I did it my way
And yes, Iґve had a few But then again, too few to mention But dig, what I have to fo Iґll see it through with no devotion Of that, take care and just Be careful along the highway And more, much more than this I did it my way
There were times, Iґm sure you knew When there was nothing fucking else to do But through it all, when there was doubt I shot it up or kicked it out I fought the just as before And did it my way
A turning tide Lovers at a great divide why d′you lie When I know that you hurt inside?
And why′d you say It′s just another day, nothing in my way I don′t wanna go, I don′t wanna stay So there′s nothing left to say? And why′d you lie When you wanna die, when you hurt inside Don′t know what you lie for anyway Now there′s nothing left to say
A tell-tale sign You don′t know where to draw the line
And why′d you say It′s just another day, nothing in my way I don′t wanna go, I don′t wanna stay So there′s nothing left to say And why′d you lie When you wanna die, when you hurt inside Don′t know what you lie for anyway Now there′s nothing left to say
Well for a lonely soul, you′re having such a nice time For a lonely soul, you′re having such a nice time For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you′re having such a nice time You′re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul, you′re having such a nice time For a lonely soul, you′re having such a nice time For a lonely soul, it seems to me that you′re having such a nice time You′re having such a nice time
I can′t believe what this is doing to me I′ve seen so many cities Fall down to their knees I′m begging you, please Don′t bury me underneath their crumbled walls My barren thoughts weigh heavier Than the weight of our demands
I feel the pressure building up inside my head I feel the distance drowning me in my own sweat Cause I need the cold now It′s my turn to roll out all the stops And show that I know where I have to go
I′ve got to find my way back Retrace my steps So I can prove to you that I′m alive Crawling my way back to the place I know that′s meant for me to find my way back To find my way back home
I feel the heat and what it′s doing to me I′ve been pulling at my own skin To hide my face It′s hard to relate Forget the way you feel when you are safe at home You leave this world alone, stone by stone If only I had known about the
Pressure building up inside my head I feel the distance drowning me in my own sweat Cause I need the cold now It′s my turn to roll out all the stops And show that I know where I have to go
I′ve got to find my way back Retrace my steps So I can prove to you that I′m alive Crawling my way back to the place I know that′s meant for me to find my way back Find my way back home
One mile left It lasts a lifetime Like a promise kept Under the weight of the world Falling down on your shoulders It′s colder
I′ve got to find my way back Retrace my steps So I can prove to you that I′m alive Crawling my way back to the place I know that′s meant for me to find my way back Find my way back home Find my way back home Cause I′ve been crawling my way back to the place I know that′s meant for me to find my way back Find my way back home
I would be the light blue Frosen queen Engraved far away Among ices winds You would be the ray Of the up-coming sun Alighting our land Changing eternal night
My Way Differs From Yours
I would be the star Crashing down from skies You would be a child Catching me in your palms I would be the rose Newborn and fresh You would be the snow Freezing my flesh
Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could thnk I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I′m dreamin′, I can hear them say
CHORUS Carry on my wayward son, For there′ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Now don′t you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don′t know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I′m like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say
CHORUS
Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life′s no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you
Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I′m dreamin′, I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son, For there′ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Now don′t you cry no more
