I Will Be Your Witness Written by Tommy Shaw, Jack Blades Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Listen on YouTube I woke up this morning Wishing you were here Another cup of coffee And then you appeared A crystal vision Shining through the rain Smiling through my window pane In the morning traffic I turn on the radio And the song that’s playing Is one that we used to know When we were dancing slowly Under the mirror ball You were singing to me I felt like we had it all It was our adventure I won’t let it slip away Gonna make it like it was before this day I will be your witness (That much I can do) That much I can do (I wanna tell the world) I just want to tell the world How much I’m missing you I will be your witness (Don’t you know it’s true) Don’t you know it’s true (I wanna testify) I just want to testify How much I’m loving you Did you ever notice Just what you mean to me You’re the piece of the puzzle That makes my world complete I need your freedom I need your company Let me tell you how it...

Brave New World Written by Tommy Shaw, James Young Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time The lines are drawn in the sand across the caress of time There's a face in the glass Looking through the mirror At the maze of my past It was never clearer On the distant horizon The sun approaches Better cover my eyes Better hide the roaches In the best of my time There was something better And the quest of my mind Was to try and get her Something simple and pure As the thoughts in my head Not the tears in the rain Over me she shed We were almost there Still I was unaware Here in the Brave New World's embrace I watch the parade begin Searching for one familiar face And I wonder where I fit in How will I know if there's a place For me in the Brave New World To be calm in the eye Of the human storm In a house full of dreams I am safe and warm Looking back at a life Filled with warm embraces No regrets only memories Of smiling faces We were a...

  Heavy Water Written by James Young Lead Vocals by James Young Listen on YouTube Sittin' here on terra firma It's the kind of place we were meant to be Out here kinda lost in space now Pondering life's mysteries All of mankind worship at the altar Of old mythology But the genie's out of the bottle Collision course with eternity Young children playing in the chat room With the freaks and the satellites Upload the nearset planet Burnin' out at the speed of light Better living for the masses With the new technology But some fool went and pushed the button He didn't get an apology Feeling good is a new sensation Panacea for the Prozac nation Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Sacred cow sizzling in the fire As we all go up in flames With millions of true believers And their unfamiliar names On the road to good intentions Blown to hell by our own inventions Heavy, heavy water Won't wash away the sins of the father Unholy, holy water Le...

Goodbye to Roseland Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung There was a time When we were children Blue skies would shine And all was forgiven And there were heroes to guide us And we had family beside us And there were dreams to believe in Each and every day And I was your friend Father and brother And you were my wife Mistress and mother And through the good times and bad times We shared the love of a lifetime Oh what a shame and a damn crime For it all to end So goodbye to Roseland How I wish I could stay To live in the memory Of your sweet sweet day But every road that we travel, has an end And so the time now has come to say Farewell old friend Well goodbye to Roseland How I want you to know Just how much I miss you So I got to let go But all the love that you gave me will remain And every tear that I've cried has not been shed in vain
