I've seen the man that I can be and I'll fight to save that future. We weren't born into a world of hate, but one of such potential. I've seen the light. I've touched the sky.

Attempt Number One 03:45
lyrics

One thousand tries, I never thought I'd fly. One thousand tries, I never thought I'd fly. Beaten and broken down they said I'd never leave ground. I can't believe, Can anybody? Should I pause and tell somebody? No one would believe it, I should keep it a secret. No one will ever know who I am, I'm on my own. I'm taking flight I think I might just fly away from here. I'm gaining speed and feel like nothing now can stop me (Where can I go) I'm finding strength that I have never felt before, this light inside of me it shines so brightly. My only fear is that it's more than I can handle. I see the light it blinds me, across the sky it guides me so far from home but I have never felt so close. We've come along way from day dreaming, sometimes I still feel fast asleep and maybe I was dreaming all along. I've come along way from day dreaming. I will save humanity. I will be the one they need, BELIEVE IN ME! I'm taking flight I think I might just fly away from here. I'm gaining speed and feel like nothing now can stop me (Where can I go) I'm finding strength that I have never felt before, this light inside of me it shines so brightly. My only fear is that it's more than I can handle. Try now to get back up and fight. Hold on to all you have inside. Look up, my strength comes from the sky. Help me! Cause I don't wanna die. Stop me! I'm falling from the sky. Save me! And teach me how to fly. BELIEVE IN ME!

The Kindness of Strangers 03:19
lyrics

I'm not alone (I'm not afraid) I'm not alone (There is something inside me) We are one, we are one in the same. Kindred, we are kindred spirits on this road. I'M NOT ALONE. I'M NOT ALONE. Take my hand never let go. I've got the power inside me and I will learn to control it in time, it helps to have someone by my side. This world was lost when we found it, they'll find the strength if they look to the sky. Are we their answer or are we a lie? Kings! We are kings among men! Gods! We are Gods among insects! OH. Don't you see? We should be the ones crowned kings. I cannot take this anymore. I've got the power inside me and I will learn to control it in time, it helps to have someone by my side. This world was lost when we found it, they'll find the strength if they look to the sky. Are we their answer or are we a lie? Help me, help me cause I need to grow. Show me, light the path that I should know. Take me, take me where I need to go. THERE'S SOMETHING INSIDE ME COMING TO LIFE. I've got the power inside me and I will learn to control it in time, it helps to have someone by my side. This world was lost when we found it, they'll find the strength if they look to the sky. Are we their answer or are we a lie?

Such a heinous face, What a crooked smile. You made me what I am, Now stay a while. Get your tickets, Grab your seats. Watch the world end in just a blink! Ladies and gentlemen! Children of all ages! Hold on to your seats, and watch New York start to sink! You've lost your mind now, you're wasting time now. We cannot fade away while there are lives to save. The soul of man is so inclined, could save himself in so much time. You must concentrate or all will die today. I'm so lost now that I can't think, We lost the world in just a... This was the plan all along. How could you be so naive? I'm not a monster! I'm a true visionary! I've seen the light but in this moment it is hidden from our eyes. I've fought this night but it has shown us who we are and what is right. You've lost your mind now, you're wasting time now. We cannot fade away while there are lives to save. The soul of man is so inclined, could save himself in so much time. You must concentrate or all will die today. I'm so lost now that I can't think, We lost the world in just a... IN JUST A BLINK. I just don't think you have it inside you. I just don't, I know you better than you know yourself. You don't have it in you to to do what you have to to destroy me. Look inside yourself and you'll find someone else.

How to Stop An Exploding Man 04:35
lyrics
buy track
I AM AFRAID. I can not be saved. New York's burning. The city's in flames. I'm lost and confused, tell me what to do. I'm so afraid that I think I might lose. I'm falling apart. They said I had heart, but now I think that that's just not enough. Help me, I hear screaming, pleading. Help me. I'm losing control. Stop me. About to explode. Save me. I hope that you are here to take me home. I've proven that I'm stronger and I'll show you everyday. I leave my past behind me when I leave today. I've never going back now, not now that I have found. Don't ever stand in my way. I HAVE LEFT GROUND. Here it goes, to a close. The battle ends right now. I've seen the man that I can be and I'll fight to save that future. We weren't born into a world of hate but one with such potential. Help me! I'm lost and confused. Stop me! Tell me what to do. Save me! I'm so afraid that I think I might lose. Help me! I'm falling apart. Stop me! They said I had heart. Save me! But now I think that that's just not enough. I DON'T WANNA DIE.

New York In Ruins 04:20
lyrics
buy track
I look into the sky my strength comes from the light that ends the night. These tears will wash away as fast as they came flooding through my eyes. Ashes fill the air, I gasp for breath, a whimper's all they hear, The city's laid to rest, the heart of man can't give into his fears. The city waits alone for living breathing love to call it's own. Sleeping endlessly, forgiving for what you have done to me. Though this will take some time we're stronger in the end. I never thought this night would fall, I never thought I'd see the end. When they sky falls down, I will run to you. Before you hit the ground, I will save you. Just take my hand we'll be just fine, say a prayer and we'll take flight.

I will hang my head to mourn your death my friend. Do you know what it's like to find a friend, only to have to destroy them? I do, but I chose this path to be your savior. I would give all I have to bring you back but I can't. I chose this path, the path of the righteous man, a sign of hope. I am alone, but not afraid. I can't see you but I still feel you here. I am alone but I believe, the pain inside me will slowly disappear. I am alone, but not afraid. I can't find you, I hope that you are near. I am alone, but I believe. I'll look to the sky cause I'm not afraid. And now my only regret is that it's over. This hurts so much more than I imagined. The cure for all of this pain left undiscovered. Our hearts can't take much more of this, why would we let them? I've seen the future and it could be bright, As long as we all stand for what we know is right. We lost our way. When will we find our way back from here? Get on your feet and save the day! It's time to save humanity! GET ON YOUR FEET. And now my only regret is that it's over. This hurts so much more than I imagined. The cure for all of this pain left undiscovered. Our hearts can't take much more of this, why would we let them? We lost our way... we're finding it hard just to be. When we find our way back from here?

Generations 02:14
lyrics

Is this future still worth saving? Should we fight or run away? We're holding on to hope that someone's out there who will come and save the day. Will this world be here forever? Will it burn out with the sun? The light still gives us strength when we are weary and the will to carry on. I can be the hero. I can save the day. I can be the one that you will burden with the pain. This can be the battle when the war is finally done, we're the generation that is meant to get this done. AND I CAN BE YOUR HERO.
