Stand Up

I want everybody standing up in front of me
Stand up
I can feel you standing right behind me
Stand up
Raise my assent like a church gallery
Lift me up
Restore my faith in a higher calling
Lift me up
That’s the power of Rock ‘n’ Roll
I give you everything, my heart and soul and we’ll
Stand up for what we believe
Stand up for how we are feeling
When you feel completely exposed
We’ll know why we’re set to explode and we’ll
Stand up for who we love
We may be young, but we’re not getting younger
Live it up
With hearts alive, inspired, never compromise
Live it up
Bursting with passion, burning enthusiasm
Strike it up
Light my fire, ablaze with desire
Strike it up
You give me strength, you give me all
Invite me in and let me touch your soul and we’ll
Stand up for what we believe
Stand up for how we are feeling
When you feel completely exposed
We’ll know why we’re set to explode and we’ll
Stand up for who we love
When you stand with me
I'll stand up for you
I won’t back down
We'll stand together for what is true
Stand up for what we believe
Stand up for how we are feeling
When you feel completely exposed
We’ll know why we’re set to explode and we’ll
Stand up for who we love
Stand up
Be yourself and we’ll
Stand up
Live true to yourself and we’ll
Stand up
Believe in yourself and we’ll
Stand up

She's Smiling Back at Me
02:58

She’s a brown-eyed girl in a black-haired world
Doesn’t even know her name
She wears sky-lighted colors she has psychedelic lovers
Doesn’t even know their names
Every time I look at her she’s smiling back at me
And every time I walk away she’s nowhere to be seen
She fights for equal rights, she lives for starry nights
She loves E. E. Cummings, hangs on every word he writes
She’s got dreadlocked hair and a corner-eyed stare
Her laughter echoes like a love affair
Every time I look at her she’s smiling back at me
And every time I walk away she’s nowhere to be seen
She’s got fifteen earrings all in one ear
She’s got several more, but I can’t say where
She’s got a locomotive heart, pumps love through her veins
Energized art running ‘round her brain
Every time I look at her she’s smiling back at me
And every time I walk away she’s nowhere to be seen
She’s got love all around her, it’s her universal home
She’s got love that surrounds her, but her past remains unknown
Every time I look at her she’s smiling back at me
And every time I walk away she’s nowhere to be seen

Release Me
04:25
|
|||
|
The tear has to be deep
The break has to be clean
It’s hard to see through the streaks and blurs
The pain’s too much to endure
I’ve come to the crossroads of love
The crossroads of love
This torture is wearing me low
The end is near, but my heart screams, “No!”
Release me
Photographs line my wall
Like a movie on the cutting room floor
Fragments of my life lie all around
Like a score read without a sound
I’ve come to the crossroads of love
The crossroads of love
This torture is wearing me low
The end is near, but my heart screams, “No!”
Release me
How long, so long, hold on, so long
Release me

Aline's Song

A dream a time, baby you're my
Lifeline
Intertwined in the
Nexus of the seasons and the
Ecstasy of our love
