1. Life Is Now

Just walk right out
And slam that door
'Cause life is now
Don't look back no more

Turn on the spotlight
And start to dance
You know it's a short life
So take your chance

Life is now
And I'm your healer
I'll show you how
To face your demons

A glass of wine
A girl so true
Or champagne on ice
It's all there for you

Don't waste one minute
'Cause life's too sweet
Get out there and rock
In the summer heat

Life is now
And I'm your healer
I'll show you how
To kill your demons

2. The Mask

What you need is something real
Find a ray of light
Emptiness is what you feel
Dries you out inside

You faked your smile just to please
Change it
No place to hide you must break free
Face it

Speak your mind and take a new stand
Take off your mask – no more pretense
No more lies now make those amends
This is your chance – break free my friend

Half alive you've learned to live
An isolated life
Break those chains and share your gift
Then let your true self shine

You faked your smile just to please
Change it
No place to hide you must break free
Face it

Speak your mind and take a new stand
Take off your mask – no more pretense
No more lies now make those amends
This is your chance – break free my friend

3. Higher

I'm getting out – out of the blur
I'm getting in – making a stir
I'm growing stronger – I'm getting loud
I've found my place now – and I'm going

I'm going higher
I'll stand my ground
I have a dream yeah
I'm heading out
I live in the moment
That's all I've got
I have a dream yeah
Just wanna rock

No giving up – It feels so right
No giving in – I've turned the tide
Gambling is over – ain't rolling dice
I know where I'm going – I'm going

I'm going higher
I'll stand my ground
I have a dream yeah
I'm heading out
I live in the moment
That's all I've got
I have a dream yeah
Just wanna rock

I'm growing stronger – I'm getting loud
I've found my place now – no slowing down
Gambling is over – ain't rolling dice
I know where I'm going – I'm going higher

4. Wonderful Life

I can fly now 'cause meaning I've found
Time for movin' on
Deeply breathing I'm gonna feel free
I'm gonna let the past all go

I close my eyes to find my guide

What a wonderful life
Gonna take a midnight flight
Where I glide through the stream of my life
Spread my wings and I'll fly
Unified with the sky
It's a wonderful, colorful life
When I'm looking 'round I see it's paradise
In awe again – it's a wonderful life

I used to hold – Hold myself down
But now I understand
I clearly see my way in front of me
The way I have to go for now

What a wonderful life
Gonna take a midnight flight
Where I glide through the stream of my life
Spread my wings and I'll fly
Unified with the sky
It's a wonderful, colorful life
When I'm looking 'round I see it's paradise
In awe again – it's a wonderful life

5. Dear Enemy

There is no blaming tomorrow
No sacrifice will be forgotten
In my heart I feel no sorrow
Was just your way to solve a problem

Although I know there's no returning
I'm always gonna keep you in my heart

There's salvation you can't keep me down
Only love will remain
Somewhere deep down there's a turnaround
Where hate loses its flame
No more hate

No wrong or right I'll forgive you
I don't believe in retribution
There is nothing else I can do
My anger's turned into compassion

There's salvation you can't keep me down
Only love will remain
Somewhere deep down there's a turnaround
Where hate loses its flame
No more hate

6. Save You From Yourself

It's not an illusion
It's your confusion
You'll see one day
Your way of living
Is unforgiving
It's not ok

You think you're flying
Instead you're dying
Can't ya see
You're going down

I'm not a hero
My amigo
But I know you need help
You will be burning
If you're not learning
How to save you from yourself

I get the impression
That your obsessions
Will make you pay
You keep on going
Without knowing
You've gone astray

I'm not a hero
My amigo
But I know you need help
You will be burning
If you're not learning
How to save you from yourself

7. Don't Keep Me Hanging

I can't stand this game
Tell me now what's going on
I thought you would feel the same
Was it something I did wrong?
Don't play silly games y'can't win or lose
Something's gotta move
I can't stand my restless questioning
So tell me where we stand

I never was afraid to fall
Don't keep me hanging on
You see I've really got to know right now

Don't keep me hanging 'n' waiting
It's tearing me apart
Tell me what's inside my heart
Don't keep me bleeding, dreaming
Lay it on the line
Tell me what is on your mind
Just let me inside

Open up let me see
Otherwise I'll lose my mind
Indecision's killing me
Don't wanna waste more time
Let's straighten out what needs to change
No matter what it takes
In your sweet hands lies our destiny
Oh babe you're all I need

8. Dream Of Mankind

A dream of mankind
The wish to fly
Just like a bird in the sky
When I was younger
I had wings too
What a wonderful view

But with the passing of years
Joy disappeared
Sorrows and fears
Brought me to tears

Yes I want
To learn how to fly once again
No more pains
No more chains
And I want
To feel free and careless and then
No more pains
No more chains
Yes I want
To move on and rise once again
Just one – one more time

A dream of mankind
True peace of mind
Without those sorrows in sight
I walked on water
Felt so alive
And now I'm drowning inside

A dream of mankind
Some winning streak
Only for one single week
To hit the jackpot
And all it can bring
Remains a faraway
Unreachable dream

9. Stevie

Stevie's out for a thrill tonight
Hoping to get on a roll
So far he ain't got
Too much delight
He's living a simple life
Barely able to pay the rent
But he still has lots of drive
Here he goes again...

Yes tonight
He'll go all out
He'll be gambling all night long
Til the dawn

Stevie's in for adrenaline
Wishing to fulfill his dreams
He sticks to his
Castles in the air
His life's like a house of cards
Any moment about to fall
But he never seems to care
Here he goes again...

Yes tonight
He'll go all out
He'll be gambling all night long
Til the dawn

10. Because Of You

You keep me rollin' – through ups and downs
You keep me movin' on – when I lose ground
The world gave up on me – but you had faith
It feels so crazy but – you gave me strength

Now I've become the man
I want to be
Now I've become that man at last

My life has meaning
My life is free
A new revelation empowering me
Your heart was open
Your heart was true
A new fascination because of you

You keep me rockin' – when i feel down
You keep me holdin' on – for higher ground
When no one gives a damn – you show you care
It ain't always easy but – I know you're there

My life has meaning
My life is free
A new revelation empowering me
Your heart was open
Your heart was true
A new fascination because of you

11. Secret Hideaway

We were fading into silence
I was afraid to break the ice
There's no doubt the silence brought us down
Waiting out for better times

I found myself at the crossroad
Was standing there all alone

I have to find another way
I'm longing for that secret hideaway
Somewhere far away
From all this pain
Just need to get away from here

We were living out the wrong life
In a cage of pretty lies
Nothing strong enough for holding on
Laid it down just to survive

I have to find another way
I'm longing for that secret hideaway
Somewhere far away
From all this pain
Just need to get away from here

12. Too Good To Be True

Yes I was gone way too long
I've got to hang on
Just a few miles from home
Unreal?
And when i step off the train
Will things be alright?
Will you be waiting for me?
My dear...
I've traveled endless miles
So much time's passed
Soon I'll be home at last

I'll have my arms wide open
For no one but you
It's just too good
Too good to be true
And I can't wait to drown in
Your beautiful eyes
It's just too good
Too good to be true
Can this be true?

And then i wake up and see
That I've been sleeping
Hoping the train has not passed my town
And while I'm looking around
I see there's nothing
Apart from four empty walls
Hope falls...

This dream keeps chasing me
Deception's breaking me
Don't wanna wake up and find nothing
Keep turning 'round to see
But you're not lying here
If only I could be with you now
Be with you now

I'll have my arms wide open
For no one but you
It's just too good
Too good to be true
And I can't wait to drown in
Your beautiful eyes
I miss your smile
it's been a while...

Don't let me wake up to find
That I've been dreaming...
