Roar Written by Glen Burtnik Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik The night's cut in half by the scream of a child, The cry of a newborn, primal and wild The prince of a tribe that lives on in the blood that runs through you. In school he is taught to sit silent and dream At home he stares mute at a glare on a screen And nobody tells him that he can speak free if he wants to. Run, little brave, follow the muse. Your life is your art. Fill up your lungs, sing from the heart And roar, roar with the lions. Howl, howl at the moon. Roar with the voice of emotion. Howl the songs of the soul. The little girl makes up a song every day She sings as she rises, sings as she plays. Some things can never be taken away from the children. Her little head translating dreams into rhyme. Her heels fire rhythm, her fingers keep time. Her eyes are the light and her laugh the antennae to heaven. Learn all the rules and throw them away. Your life is your art. Take what you need and sing from the heart And roar, ...

Love Is The Ritual Written by Glen Burtnik, Plinky Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik Little sister She got a lot of time she got a lot of money Don't you know that ain't enough Pretty thing All dressed up for the main attraction Like a baby doll looking for love And she doesn't need a reason She just hears a calling to the wild God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry Heart & soul til the day you die And above it all love is the ritual Little man Beating his chest & flexing his muscles Gun for hire, he shoots for a star Like a handsome prince Walking down the streen in his shining armor Romeo in search of his heart There's a method to this madness And a message calling to the wild God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry Work your finge...

Woman's Point of View Written by Glen Burtnick, David Prater, and Patti Maloney Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick I play this wheel and I watch as it spins But is the game lost before it begins? Lost in a chance to win this love Lost in the rain that falls from above Down from your eyes, I feel your pain But who will stop the rain? What's a man supposed to say? What's a man supposed to do? I don't know if I can face it From a woman's point of view. You make me laugh just like a child But out with the lights and the laughter's run wild. Wish I could be who you want me to be But, baby that man is a stranger to me. Lost in your eyes, I don't understand I'm doing the best that I can. What's a man supposed to say? What's a man supposed to do? I don't know if I can face it From a woman's point of view. And I don't know if I can take it I hold you here in my arms And nothing else matters I'm holding onto a dream Till the moment it shatters. O...

Don't Give Up On Me Written by Glen Burtnick and Plinky Giglio Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick You've been changing for reasons unseen and unheard, And your silence is louder than a thousand words. You don't care anymore when I stand by your side. You're not there anymore when I look in your eyes. I can see you drifting away. Don't give up on me Not so easily. You gotta reach a little higher Once you get a hold of love, don't let go Darling, don't give up on me. In the shadows it becomes so very clear to me We've been searching for the clearing on a stormy sea. You don't care anymore when I stand by your side. You're not there anymore when I look in your eyes. I can feel you drifting away. Don't give up on me Not so easily. You gotta reach a little higher Once you get a hold of love, don't let go Darling, don't give up on me. You can talk about our freedom You can talk about our faith You can talk about falling flat on your face But it...

Love (And Love Alone) Written by Glen Burtnick, Bob Burger Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick Love, and love alone Love is all you need to know And when you close your eyes You still can see And when you're trapped and afraid You still are free And don't you know that you have everything you need If you're looking for hope, whoa oh oh You're looking for peace, who oh oh Love, and love alone Mountain high and river low Love, and love alone Love is all you need to know And when you fall asleep You're still awake And though you're laughing you know Your heart could break And you could say that you're looking for trust, whoa oh oh You're looking for faith, whoa oh oh Love, and love alone Anywhere the four winds blow Love, and love alone Love is all you need to know Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh And at the end of the day, you're still alive And when your strength is gone, you'll still survive And all the words in the world can...

There's A Hero In Every Heart Written by Glen Burtnik and Dan Conley Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik On the street down below We see life as a show Where everyone's playing a part. But behind each disguise Somewhere deep in the eyes, There's a hero in every heart. Though the hero might hide In a prison of pride, Or be lost all alone in the dark. If you just look within Right there under the skin Is a hero in every heart. As you enter the stage For your coming of age, You may wonder what part you should play: A prince or a clown, A queen in a gown, Or a villain who spoils every day. There will be enough time To rehearse every line Time to practice and polish your art. But when it comes time to act, Though the odds may be stacked, Play the hero inside of your heart. Hero, are you ready to go? Hero, can you come out and play your part in the show? Now a heart is a home, It's where feelings are grown And where all future heroes are born. And if love is alive, The hero will thri...

River of Fire Written by Glen Burtnik and Stan Meissner Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik Night lights up the ghosts in my heart. I watch them burn as I stare in the dark. Wrestling emotions I'm drawn to the flame, Caught by the shadows that call out your name. Searching for some kind of escape, I find my way right here to this place Where the night has no end. All of my life my dreams run wild Now I stand alone in this river of fire. Through days of despair, nights of desire I wait for you in this river of fire. I still remember that look in your eye. I wish I knew then that it was goodbye. I try to fight it but I know I can't win. Sometimes your dreams just get lost in the wind. But something beyond all time and space Leads me right back here to this place, To the edge of the world. All of my life my dreams run wild Now I stand alone in this river of fire. Through days of despair, nights of desire I wait for you in this river of fire. Someday I'll get past this madness Over the...

Keep Open Your Heart Written by Glen Burtnick and Shelly Pieken Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick Under lock and key you promised To keep your secrets to yourself. And you spent some lonely hours With your heart upon a shelf. Underneath that promise you longed to be set free. Maybe you've been running from The very thing you need. Keep open your heart It'll carry the weight and show you the way home. Keep open your heart And all that you dream will fall at your feet Keep open your heart. Though you haven't lost your spirit Still can see it in your eyes. There's a thousand angels waiting And they all are on your side. The world will keep on spinning, The oceans fall and rise. But there's a greater power within you Just dig down deep inside. Keep open your heart It'll carry the weight and show you the way home. Keep open your heart And all that you dream will fall at your feet Keep open your heart. Well maybe it's blind faith That keeps us all believing. We take it...

Someday Written by Glen Burtnik and Sam Micale Jr. Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik When the music comes to an end And the clouds silhouette the moon, In my dreams I recall the sunset, In my heart I replay the tune. Now this road stretches on and on And from here it goes off in two. I don't know your destination, But I know I'll be there with you. Someday we'll meet again. Someday I know it's true. We'll be together somehow, some way I'll be there someday. When all our goodbyes are in the part And it won't come a day too soon. By then many things may change me But I'll still go on loving you. Someday we'll meet again Someday I know it's true We'll be together somehow, some way I can feel it in my heart. Someday I'll touch your hand. Someday I swear to your, You must believe me, somehow some way I'll be there, someday. There'll come a time for you and me. There'll be a place for us, you'll see, Where these two hearts will beat a...

Local Hero Written by Glen Burtnik and Eric Troyer Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik Everyone I know They're all congratulating me. I'm the man they wanna be The local hero. I should be glad but Everywhere I go I see your face and I fear It's not the same without you near The local hero A story sad but true. I'm the toast of the town But I feel just like a clown I can barely laugh, I can hardly smile And all the while Every one I know They're all congratulating me I'm the man they wanna be The local hero. I should be glad but Everywhere I go I see your face and I fear It's not the same without you near The local hero A story sad but true. Now I'm the king of the hill But it's a high without a thrill. Cause I work so hard so long Good intentions all gone wrong. And, oh, where is the glory? Where is the happiness we knew? If only I could say I'm sorry I'd be sharing it with you. Oh, where is the glory? Where is the happiness we knew? If only I could ...

Love Is More That A Four Letter Word Written by Glen Burtnick and Kasim Sulton Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick Well, I've been around the world And I've seen it all before. But I find myself right back where I started. Well I've wandered through the night With a pocket full of dreams, And I wake up with a heart that's still yearning. Now I'm standing here alone, Lost without a clue, Looking for a sign I can follow. I need an angel to believe in. I can't make it on my own. Send me an angel who will show me. Love is more than a four letter word. Now I've tasted bitter fruit, Felt passion turn to pain. I've seen promises turn into heartache. Now I've wasted precious time And I've caused my share of tears. I don't know if I can go on unforgiven. I can't walk another mile In the shadow of my past. I need a love to last me a lifetime. I need an angel standing by me. I can't make it on my own. Send me an angel to remind me Love is more than a f...
