DON'T CRY BABY, BABY DON'T BE SAD
YOUR DADDY GAVE YOU EVERYTHING
SOME GIRLS NEVER HAD.
OH, BUT LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING,
LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING'S ALL
YOU NEEDED, ALL THIS TIME
AND ALL YOUR DADDY'S MONEY
COULD NEVER BUY THIS HEART OF MINE.
I LOVE YOU BABY, BUY THIS HEART OF MINE.

IN A DREAM, I'M DOING HANDSTANDS
FOR YOUR OLD MAN,
AFRAID HE'LL NEVER LET ME
IN THE HOUSE AGAIN.
DO YOU DREAM ALL SAD AND LONELY
BEHIND THAT GREAT OAK DOOR,
DO YOU DREAM, I'VE NEVER TRESPASSED BEFORE?
WELL, HA!

WALK'N THROUGH YOUR DADDY'S ROOM
WAS LIKE, CREEPING THROUGH, AN ANCIENT TOMB.
ALL THOSE THINGS YOUR FRIENDS
FIND SO APPEALING
LOOK AROUND GIRL, THERE'S NOTHING WORTH STEALING.
COME ON BABY, LET'S LIVE, LET'S LIVE.

DON'T CRY BABY. BABY, SAD AND BLUE
THIS BOY LOVES YOU MORE THAN LIFE,
NOW, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
YOU KNOW, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING,
LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING'S ALL YOU'VE NEEDED
ALL THIS TIME.
AND ALL YOUR DADDY'S MONEY,
COULD NEVER BUY THIS HEART OF MINE.
I LOVE YOU BABY
BUY THIS HEART OF MINE, I MEAN IT, DARLIN'
BUY THIS HEART OF MINE, YEAH!

2. Keep Me Call'n
Words & Music by Orrin Bolton

WELL, WELL, WELL
DEBBIE'S GOT A NEW SONG TO SING,
I'M A LOVER DARLING,
I CAN SEE YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING,
AND I DON'T KNOW, WHY THOSE BIG WHEELS
SEEM TO SPIN SO SLOW.

KEEP ME CALL'N, I'M READY
KEEP ME NUMBER, I AM READY
EVERY NIGHT I WISH YOU'D STAY
HOLDING YOU'S THE ONLY WAY, I CAN LIVE
TONIGHT.

SAW YOU IN THE BAR LAST NIGHT,
YOU LOOKED LONELY.
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU DARLING, SAID HOLD ME,
SOMEBODY HOLD ME.
IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT, WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE'S
ALL ALONE TONIGHT.

KEEP ME CALL'N, I'M READY
KEEP ME NUMBER, I AM READY
EVERY THING I'VE WAITED FOR
ALL I'LL EVER NEED, AND MORE, I SEE IN YOU
TONIGHT.

I KNOW YOU'RE LONELY
AND YOUR LIFE'S A MESS
YOU'RE AFRAID TRUE LOVE WILL NEVER COME
WELL, WELL, WELL,
HOLD ON DARLIN', DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS
I'M THE ONE, I'M THE ONE.

OH NO, NO, DON'T YOU CRY,
DARLING, DRY YOUR EYES.
LOVE IS COMING, DARLING,
LOVE IS NEAR, AS THE NEXT SUNRISE.
YES, AND I DON'T KNOW, WHY THOSE BIG WHEELS
SEEM TO SPIN SO SLOW.

KEEP ME CALL'N, I'M READY
KEEP ME NUMBER, I AM READY
EVERY NIGHT I WISH YOU'D STAY
HOLDING YOU'S THE ONLY WAY, I CAN LIVE
TONIGHT.

NEVER WANT TO LEAVE YOU BABY.
I'M YOUR MAN DARLING, GOT THAT RIGHT BABY.
IF YOU WANT LOVE,
WELL, I GOT IT.

3. Don't Let The Last Word Be Good-bye
Words & Music by Gary Verna & Orrin Bolton
©2005 Vernacular Music (ASCAP) and Pelican Patrol Music (BMI)

I'VE BEEN BESIDE MYSELF, THINKING OF NOTHING ELSE,
SINCE WE'VE BEEN APART.
THOSE BITTER THINGS I SAID, KEEP RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD,
TEAR'N UP MY HEART.

NOW YOU CALLED TO SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME,
BUT THERE'S JUST NO USE IN TRY'N.
IS THAT YOUR SIGNAL FADING,
WHILE MY LIFE IS ON THE LINE?

DON'T LET THE LAST WORD BE GOOD-BYE,
I'M SO SORRY, I MADE YOU CRY.
HOLD ON, ONE MORE TIME,
SAY SOMETHING PLEASE,
DON'T LET THE LAST WORD BE GOOD-BYE.

SOMETIMES I ACT SO TOUGH, LIKE YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH,
AND I CAN DO NO WRONG.
SEEMS LIKE I NEVER KNEW, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO YOU,
I'M REALLY NOT THAT STRONG.

NOW I FIND MYSELF REACHING OUT TO YOU,
BUT THE BED'S JUST BIG AND COLD.
I FEEL SO LOST IN MY OWN HOME,
LIKE I'M MISSING HALF MY SOUL.

DON'T LET THE LAST WORD BE GOOD-BYE,
I'M SO SORRY, I MADE YOU CRY.
HOLD ON, ONE MORE TIME,
SAY SOMETHING PLEASE,
DON'T LET THE LAST WORD BE GOOD-BYE.

AND NOW I'M HAUNTED, BABY, BY THE SOUND,
OF MY OWN VOICE, AND MY OWN CHOICES.
IF WE DON'T TURN THIS LOVE AROUND,
I WON'T FORGIVE MYSELF,
I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF, NO, NO, NO, NO.

DON'T LET THE LAST WORD BE GOOD-BYE,
I'M SO SORRY, I MADE YOU CRY.
HOLD ON, ONE MORE TIME,
SAY SOMETHING PLEASE,
DON'T LET THE LAST WORD .. BE GOOD-BYE.

4. Home Fire
Words & Music by Orrin Bolton
©2004 Pelican Patrol Music (BMI)

WELL, THE LANDLORD'S ON MY PROPERTY
FIXING THINGS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE.
LATELY IT APPEARS TO ME, THIS AINT MY HOME.
HOME IS WHEN SHE'S NEXT TO ME,
IT'S SOME KIND OF ECSTASY.
HER DADDY'S GOT NO USE FOR ME,
SOMETHING 'BOUT MY PEDIGREE.

IN ME, SHE SEES A HOME FIRE BURNING,
IN ME, SHE SEES THE LAST DECENT MAN ON EARTH.
SO LET THE NEIGHBORS SIT AND WONDER,
AND IN-LAWS TRY AND STEAL MY THUNDER,
SEE, LOVE'S THE SPELL WE'RE UNDER, NOT FADE AWAY.

IN ME, THERE BEATS THE HEART OF A LION,
IN ME, THERE LIVES THE SOUL OF A ZION KING.
SO LET THE NEIGHBORS SIT AND WONDER,
AND IN-LAWS TRY AND STEAL MY THUNDER,
LOVE'S THE SPELL WE'RE UNDER, NOT FADE AWAY.

AND WHO'S GONNA CARE, DARLING, YEARS FROM NOW?
(NOBODY BUT US BABY)
WE NEVER MATTERED, NO, TO THEM ANYHOW,
(JUST YOU AND ME BABY)

IN ME, SHE SEES A HOME FIRE BURNING,
MORNINGS OF LOVE, (NOON TIME AND NIGHT TIME)
OH A LIFE TIME, OH A LIFE TIME OF JOY.
SO LET THE NEIGHBORS SIT AND WONDER,
AND IN-LAWS TRY AND STEAL MY THUNDER.
SEE, LOVE'S THE SPELL WE'RE UNDER, NOT FADE AWAY.

5. Liv'n Like A Man

WELL I WAS A YOUNG BOY, LANKY AND LEAN.
A TIME TO TRAVEL, WHERE I'D NEVER BEEN,
I BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR .... AM--STER--DAM,
CHANGE OF PLANS, MAN .. AF--GHAN-- I--STAN! MAN!

BALLS TO WALLS... HIGH TIMES, CLOSE CALLS, I HAD A FEW.
YEAH, I WAS LIV'N LIKE A MAN, LIV'N LIKE A MAN.

WELL I HAD THE FEVER, AND I NEEDED A CURE,
MY BROTHER SAID, COME ON A THREE SEMI TOUR.
COAST TO COAST, CONQUEROO, TOWN TO TOWN,
WE ROCKED THOSE ROOMS, TILL THE LAW SHUT 'EM DOWN

THERE WERE BLONDES, BRUNETTES, EVERY KIND OF EXCESS, AND I CONFESS
I HAD A FEW, I WAS LIV'N LIKE A MAN, LIV'N LIKE A MAN.

ANYTIME AT ALL.. YOU'RE FEEL'N TWO FOOT SMALL,
THAT'S ALRIGHT,... SOMETIMES WE GET LONELY,
BUT, TO YOUR SELF BE TRUE, IT'S ALL HERE JUST FOR YOU,
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT, ... SOME WAY, SOME HOW,
YEAH TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT YO! DO IT NOW!

WELL, I CHASED MY FATE DOWN LUMBO WAY,
A TWO-BIT HYPOCRITE, STOLE MY HEART AWAY.
HARD LESSON LEARNED, BETRAYED AT EVERY TURN,
LORD YOU KNOW, I HAD SOME DUES TO PAY!

BUT I LICKED MY WOUNDS, WHILE I WROTE THESE TUNES. HA!
AND I GOT A FEW.
I WAS LIV'N LIKE A MAN, LIV'N LIKE A MAN.

ANYTIME AT ALL.. YOU'RE FEEL'N TWO FOOT SMALL,
THAT'S ALRIGHT,... SOMETIMES WE GET LONELY,
BUT, TO YOUR HEART BE TRUE, IT'S ALL HERE JUST FOR YOU,
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT, ... SOME WAY, SOME HOW,
YEAH TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT YO! DO IT NOW!

WELL I'M SORRY BABY, FOR THE THINGS I DONE,
BUT I'D DO 'EM AGAIN, I'LL TELL EVERYONE,
I'M A MAN, . HARD, STRONG AND TRUE,
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT I'VE PUT MYSELF THROUGH.

BUT I'M DONE WITH LIES,
AND I WON'T COMPROMISE, MY DREAMS FOR YOU.
I'M LIV'N, LIV'N LIKE A MAN
HEY, HEY, HEY!

6. The Promise
Words & Music by Orrin Bolton
©2005 Pelican Patrol Music (BMI)

MUST HAVE BEEN MONDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR BOMBAY, ENDED UP RIGHT HERE INSTEAD.
AND ON THE WAY HERE, I MET A SOUL,
TOOK ME TO HER SECRET PLACE,
AND SHE BEGGED ME, SHE BEGGED ME, "PLEASE DON'T GO."

FOREVER, LET LOVE GO ON AND ON AND ON.

I THINK IT WAS WEDNESDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
REACHED FOR MY PEN AND MY PAD, I WROTE DOWN EVERY WORD SHE SAID,
ABOUT THE PROMISE OF A LIFETIME AND A LOVER, ON A JOURNEY TO THE END.

FOREVER, AND LOVE GOES ON AND ON AND ON,
SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW

DID YOU EVER BELIEVE IN ME WHEN YOU TOLD ME, YOU'D LOVE ME FOREVER?
NOW YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE, HOW CAN YOU HOLD ME,
SMILING WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL, LYING EYES?

MUST HAVE BEEN FRIDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
CAME TO MY SENSES, I PUT MY SIX GUN TO MY HEAD,
AND ON THE TV, WAS A SHOW, 'BOUT A LIFE I REMEMBER,
AND A PROMISE, SHE LET GO.

FOREVER, AND LIFE GOES ON AND ON AND ON,
SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW NOW, YEAH!

DID YOU EVER BELIEVE IN ME WHEN YOU TOLD ME, YOU'D LOVE ME FOREVER?
AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE, HOW CAN YOU HOLD ME,
SMILING WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL, LYING EYES?

REMEMBER NOW, TRUE LOVE, AND I'M THE ONE WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW,
AND YOU CALL THIS LOVE BABY?
IS THAT, IS THAT, IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?

MUST HAVE BEEN MONDAY, I WOKE UP IN BED,
BOOKED A FLIGHT FOR BOMBAY,
ENDED UP RIGHT HERE INSTEAD.

7. Baby You're My Reason
Words & Music by Orrin Bolton & Barry Mitchell
©2005 2005 Pelican Patrol Music (BMI)

EVERYBODY NEEDS A REASON, NOW, NOW,
A REASON TO GET UP FOR MORE.
AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER, TELL ME
WHO TAKES TIME TO FIND, WHAT THEY'RE LIV'N FOR?

I AIN'T SAY'N THAT LIFE AIN'T ROUGH
I CAN TAKE IT AND BE GRATEFUL DARLING
BUT IT, IT AIN'T ENOUGH

WELL, WELL, MY, MY
WHOAH, WHOAH, YEAH YEAH
WELL, WELL, MY, MY
WELL NOW BABY, YOU'RE MY REASON.

IF I EARNED A MILLION DOLLARS, NOW, NOW, NOW,
WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU?
IF I HAD TO SEARCH THIS WHOLE WORLD
ONE MORE TIME, TO FIND YOU.
I'D BE SEARCHING TILL MY DAYS WERE THROUGH.

I AIN'T SAY'N THAT LIFE AIN'T ROUGH
I CAN TAKE IT AND BE GRATEFUL DARLING
BUT IT, IT AIN'T ENOUGH, WITHOUT YOU.

I SEARCHED THE WHOLE WORLD, FOR SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
LIKE A WOMAN FOR ALL SEASONS.
I TURNED AROUND, AND THERE YOU WERE ALL OF THE WHILE
BABY YOU'RE MY REASON.

I SEARCHED THE WHOLE WORLD, FOR SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
LIKE A WOMAN FOR ALL SEASONS.

I TURNED AROUND, AND THERE YOU WERE ALL OF THE WHILE
BABY YOU'RE MY REASON, YEAH!

8. Everything Matters
Lyrics by Orrin Bolton
Music by Marc Wager
©1998 Sloan Mitchell Music Corp. (BMI)

DON'T LOOK AWAY,
IT'S NOT BY HAPPENSTANCE, THAT WE MEET THIS WAY.
YOU KNOW, EVERY STEP OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE HAS LED YOU
RIGHT HERE, TO THIS MOMENT ... *

IF NOTHING MATTERED AND SAINTS COULD BE FLATTERED,
BY SWEET DREAMS AND INTENTIONS, UNMENTIONED.

ALL I MEAN TO SAY IS,
OPEN YOUR HEART, WHEN YOU FEEL THE SPARK AND,
DON'T LOOK AWAY, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR DAY, LIKE THIS (SNAP)!
HERE'S THE SURPRISE, LOVE NEVER DIES! NO NO! OH AND EVERYTHING,
EVERYTHING MATTERS, EVERYTHING WE THINK, SAY AND DO,
EVERYTHING, DARLING, EVERYTHING MATTERS,
IT'S ALL WE'VE GOT IN THIS WORLD, BETWEEN ME AND YOU.

I KNEW A MAN BACK IN THE DAY,
SOMETIMES I THNK HE CAME HERE JUST TO SHOW ME THE WAY.
THE STONE IS COLD, THE MEMORIES OLD, BUT I REMEMBER,
AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR OR SO.

AND FOR EVERY HEART THAT'S TRUE, THE FACTS OF LIFE ARE FEW.
DON'T MISS THIS CHANCE. THIS IS THE DANCE. THIS IS THE DANCE!

ALL I MEAN TO SAY IS,
OPEN YOUR HEART, WHEN YOU FEEL THE SPARK AND,
DON'T LOOK AWAY, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR DAY, LIKE THIS (SNAP)!
HERE'S THE SURPRISE, LOVE NEVER DIES! NO NO! OH AND EVERYTHING,
EVERYTHING MATTERS, EVERYTHING WE THINK, SAY AND DO,
EVERYTHING, DARLING, EVERYTHING MATTERS,
AND IT'S ALL WE'VE GOT IN THIS WORLD, BETWEEN ME AND YOU.

(SOLO)

IT'S JUST A KISS, FROM A THOUGHT TO A WORD,
IT'S JUST A WINK, FROM THE WORD TO A DEED.
AND YOU MAY FALL NOW, BUT LOVE NEVER DIES, NEVER DIES!
WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS ..

OPEN YOUR HEART, WHEN YOU FEEL THE SPARK AND,
DON'T LOOK AWAY, YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR DAY, LIKE THIS (SNAP)!
JUST A MOMENT OF COURAGE AND THE DEED IS DONE!
LOVE LIVES ON. LOVE LIVES ON!
OH AND EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING MATTERS,
EVERYTHING WE THINK, SAY AND DO.
EVERYTHING, DARLING EVERYTHING MATTERS AND
IT'S ALL WE'VE GOT IN THIS WORLD, ALL WE'VE GOT IN THIS WORLD,
OH YES EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING MATTERS.

9. She Loves To Love
Words & Music by Orrin Bolton
©2007 Pelican Patrol Music (BMI)

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT LOVING
AND I'VE BEEN FEEL'N LOV'N LATELY.
I SEE HER AT THE CAF , STIRRING UP THE LATTE,
THE WAY SHE MOVES IS SO EXTRAORDINARY.

I'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME,
I'VE SEEN ALL TYPES AND ALL KINDS.
SHE'S THE GIRL OF A LIFETIME. YEAH!
I DON'T THINK I'M WAITING,
SHE'S SO INTOXICATING.

SHE LOVES TO LOVE, SHE LOVES TO LOVE,
SHE LOVES TO LOVE, AND I LOVE HER.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT WAITING,
BUT I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT HER LATELY.
SHE MAKES EACH MOMENT, WORTH ANTICIPATING,
ANY WAY I PLAY IT, ALL HER FRIENDS WILL HATE ME.

I'VE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME,
I'VE SEEN ALL TYPES AND ALL KINDS.
SHE'S THE GIRL OF A LIFETIME. YEAH!
I DON'T THINK I'M WAITING,
SHE'S SO INTOXICATING.

SHE LOVES TO LOVE, SHE LOVES TO LOVE,
SHE LOVES TO LOVE, AND I LOVE HER.

EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO FILL THEIR EMPTY CUP,
SHE'S THE KEY TO ALL I NEED
YEAH, SHE FILLS ME UP.

I DON'T THINK I'M WAITING,
SHE'S SO INTOXICATING.

SHE LOVES TO LOVE, LOVES TO LOVE,
SHE LOVES TO LOVE, AND I LOVE HER.
SHE LOVES TO LOVE, YEAH!
LOVES TO LOVE,
SHE LOVES TO LOVE.

ALL DAY WORKING, NEVER PLAY,
TIME GO BY, TIME SLIP AWAY
AND THEN, OH BOY

ALL OUR FEARS AND PETTY CARES
KEEP US RUNNIN' ALL THESE YEARS,
AND THEN, OH BOY

OH, TAKE HER HAND,
YOU KNOW SHE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU,
IN A LAND, WHERE DREAMS COME TRUE.
SO I SAY,

TAKE A VACATION, IN JAH MAICA MAN
TAKE A VACATION, GO ON DOWN NOW, TO REGGAE LAND.

YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,
DREAMING OF LOVE, AND HOLDING HER NOW.
YOU'LL FIND YOUR SECRET PARADISE,
YEAH SHE'LL KNOW, WHO YOU ARE, WHO

TAKE A VACATION, IN JAH MAICA MAN
TAKE A VACATION, LET YOUR FEET DANCE IN THE SAND.

THOSE CITY LIGHTS CAN HYPNOTIZE,
THEY TAKE YOUR TIME, SO FAST AND SO FAR,
SNAP FROM THE TRANCE, AND INTO THE DANCE
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, WHO

OH, RELAX TO A SIMPLE RHY'THM
ALL THEY NEED NOW'S A TICKET TO FLY
YOU CAN ALMOST HEAR THEM SAY'N
YAH MON, WHAT THEY SAY NOW
YAH MON, SO I SAY

TAKE A VACATION, IN JAH MAICA MAN
GO ON DOWN NOW TO REGGAE LAND.

I WAS WATCHING THE SUNSET AND THE WHALES SWIM BY,
HEADED FOR KONA WITH A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
LAUGHING AND JOKING ABOUT GOOD TIMES WE HAD,
DAMN NEAR FORGOT WHY I WAS FEELING SO BAD.

YEAH WE WAS TALKING, YEAH WE WAS TOKE'N,

SO SAD AND LONELY, SO LOST IN MY PAST,
CALLED A GOOD FRIEND, SHE SAID THE SAD TIMES WON'T LAST.
GET ON A JET PLANE, COME AND GET YOUR SURPRISE,
I SWEAR THE NEXT THING WE SHARED, WAS A HAWAIIAN SUNRISE.

YEAH WE WAS TALKING, YEAH WE WAS TOKE'N,
YEAH WE WAS TALKING, YEAH WE WAS TOKE'N,

LIFE IS TOO SHORT BABY, TO LEAVE TO MAYBE,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY, STARTING THIS DAY.

(SOLO)

LIFE IS TOO SHORT BABY, TO LEAVE TO MAYBE,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY, STARTING THIS DAY.

I WAS WATCHING THE SUN FALL INTO THE SEA,
JUST SO HAPPY THAT SOMEBODY CARED ABOUT ME,
SO HERE'S THE LESSON 'FORE THIS STORY ENDS,
YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING 'BOUT LOVE BABY!
TILL YOU'RE SOMEBODY'S FRIEND. YEAH!

TALKING, YEAH WE WAS TOKE'N, YEAH WE WAS TALKING.

DON'T LOOK BACK JACKIE, DON'T LOOK BACK
LOOK WHAT'S COMING ON, DOWN THIS TRACK
DON'T IT RING A BELL OR TWO?
IT'S SO OLD, IT'S NEW, TURN AROUND.

YEAH YOU AND I HAVE BIG THINGS TO DO
SO LET'S TAKE THE TIME, FOR A TOKE OR TWO
AND GIVE PRAISE TO THOSE, WHO ARE PROUD,
OF WHAT THEY DONE.

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO REST.
I DREAM OF FRIENDS THAT I LOVE BEST
THE GOOD THEY DONE, IS ALL THAT REMAINS,
NOT A STONE LEFT, TO THEIR NAMES

BUT I THINK OF THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL
AND I WINK AT THE MIRROR ON THE WALL
AND I TOKE, TOKE, TOKE,
TO THOSE WHO SING, LET FREEDOM RING,
SAY YEAH!

DO YOU REMEMBER BACK, WHEN YOU WERE A TEEN?
AND TIME WAS JUST A MAGAZINE?
YEAH, WE'D MEET IN THE STREETS
AND THE SKY SPARKED ELECTRICITY
AND I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER
AND I REMEMBER YOU, IN TATTERED JEANS

NEITHER OF US, HAD NO VISIBLE MEANS.
WE WERE YOUNG, DON'T FORGET,
WHAT WE DONE TO LET FREEDOM, FREEDOM RING.

SEVEN YEARS COME, AND SEVEN GO,
AND THE TEST OF TIME, IS ALL WE KNOW
THE MAGIC'S LOST, IF NOT PASSED ON, I MEAN,
WHO EVER THOUGHT WE'D LIVE THIS LONG?

SO I THINK OF THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL,
AND I WINK AT THE MIRROR ON THE WALL
AND I TOKE, TOKE, TOKE, TO THOSE WHO SING,
LET FREEDOM, LET IT RING,
LET FREEDOM RING.

SO HERE'S TO THE BATTLES WE WON,
HERE'S TO THE THINGS THAT WE DONE.
YEAH, THE THINGS WE DO,
TO KEEP IT TRUE.

AND I THINK OF THOSE THAT GAVE THEIR ALL
AND I WINK AT THE WRITING ON THE WALL
AND I TOKE, TOKE, TOKE
TO THOSE WHO SING, LET FREEDOM RING!
SAY YEAH!
