The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long Feels like we're running out of time Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can Make it through another day Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby I am counting on you You know what you've got to do
CHORUS: Fight the good fight every moment Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance Where you'll fit into the plan But you're the master of your own destiny So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest You'd better think of something else instead You're so afraid of being honest with yourself You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free But I can tell you where to start Take a look inside your heart There's an answer in your heart
We passed the point of no return How can we make amends All alone I watch the candle burn Burnin' at both ends Nothin's ever gonna change Can tears wash away this pain
CHORUS: Tears in the rain Here it comes again I'll never know the reason why I cry these tears in the rain
The time has come to make a stand We've waited much too long Nobody's gonna lead us by the hand How could we be so wrong? We lost the chance to play the game Can tears wash away this pain
CHORUS
So many times I've wondered why We still play this game
Music hold the secret, To know it can make you whole It's not just a game of notes, It's the sound inside your soul The magic of the melody Runs through you like a stream The notes the play flow through your head Like a dream Like a dream Like a dream
I sing this song for the common man For the people in despair I bring my song into the world And I sing it everywhere The simple truth lies waiting here For everyone to share So hold on, and I will take you there Hold on and I will take you there
The daily routine takes your soul, Lost without a trace It hold you down and turns you 'round And puts you in your place Another day, another dollar Another pretty face Another chance to lose yourself In the endless race
CHORUS
Hold on, hold on to your dreams Hold on, even though it seems Everyone around you has their little schemes Listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams
Can't you feel the magic Feel it everywhere Can't you hear the music There's something in the air There's a celebration Deep within a song Celebrate this feeling, You know it can't be wrong
CHORUS
Caught up in routine, You got to break it Time won't wait for us, We got to make it Fate gives you the chance You've got to take it Take it
Makin' my way to the job each day Slave like a dog for my hard-earned pay When the bell rings I'm ready to run Gonna get high, gonna have some fun I know the boss, he don't think I'm good Baby I'm just badly misunderstood 'Cause you know what I like
CHORUS: I live, I live, I live for the weekend I live, I live, I live for the weekend
Ya know ya gotta serve Ya know ya gotta please My baby puts my mind at ease Friday comes 'n' I'm thinkin' of you 'Cause at five o'clock, they're gonna set me loose Come on, babe, we're gonna live it up Don't ya know that I can't get enought Of your sweet love
CHORUS
I know, babe, you don't think I'm good But, you got me badly understood An' I know what I like
Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear
CHORUS: I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free I got the magic power of the music in me (Repeat)
She climbs into bed, pull the covers overhead and turns her little radio on She's had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ's gonna play her favorite song It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams A little magic power makes it better that it seems
She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free She gets the magic power of the music in me
If you're thinkin' it over but you just can't sort it out Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop Never gonna stop Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise, and infinite red tape But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape So turn me on - turn me up - it's your turn to dream A little magic power makes it better than it seems
People say Don't ever look behind Happiness is just a state of mind Rock and Roll lives and breathes in the hearts of the young So carry on You're runnin' on borrowed time Tryin' hard to survive Keep on runnin' Your time in comin' Keep your dreams alive
CHORUS: Follow Your Heart (You got to Follow Your Heart) Living for the day, forget about tomorrow Follow Your Heart (You got to Follow Your Heart) Any other way can only lead to sorrow Don't wait any longer Follow Your Heart
Plays for keeps And try to never lose Live it fast but live the life you choose Rock and Roll lives and breathes in the hearts of the young So let it ride Each time you roll the dice Luck will finally arrive Keep on runnin' Your time is comin' Keep your dreams alive
CHORUS
Oh, listen to the rhythm Your heart won't lie Rock and Roll hearts Just never die, never die
The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long Feels like we're running out of time Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can Make it through another day Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby I am counting on you You know what you've got to do
CHORUS: Fight the good fight every moment Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance Where you'll fit into the plan But you're the master of your own destiny So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest You'd better think of something else instead You're so afraid of being honest with yourself You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free But I can tell you where to start Take a look inside your heart There's an answer in your heart
If looks could kill then I know she would She's playing the part, you know it's understood I know the second glance was my first mistake I took the chance that I had to take Fire in her eyes made my blood run cold She took me by surprise and I'm
CHORUS: Spellbound, dreaming of you all the time Spellbound, feels like I'm falling over the line Spellbound, will my head be clear by the morning light
I don't make promises I can't keep But I better think it over, I'm in way too deep I'm shook up, paralyzed by her icy stare, long legs and golden hair Late night love is on my mind She took me by surprise and I'm
CHORUS
I'm on a one way ride to where I just don't know She put a spell on me, the fantasy comes and goes
I clear my head in the morning light Start all over when I feel alright I've gotta shape up before it's too late I think I'm losin' my mind and I'm
CHORUS
Spellbound, can't find a reason, can't find a rhyme Spellbound, give me a signal, show me a sign Spellbound, will my head be clear in the morning light
