Hit the Ground Running
(J.Newell, K.Hulshoff, P.Koziol)
I give all I’ve got, savin’ nothing for the swim back,
It’s always all or nothing, sink or swim, or a shark attack.
And when I reach that distant shore,
And I can’t swim no more,
I get up on my feet and hit the ground running.
I’m like a hurricane on the highway, left lane,
Pedal on the right, head full of dreams,
Going at full speed, I hit the ground running.
I wake up every morning and say “Attack the day,”
Like breaking the huddle with a clap, I call the play.
Well, I’m a long shot to say the least,
I’m trying to make ends meet,
I get up on my feet and hit the ground running.
I’m like a hurricane on the highway, left lane,
Pedal on the right, head full of dreams,
Going at full speed, I hit the ground running (x2)
Time is precious, this life we’re livin’,
Use every second, before you miss it,
Take these moments, cash ‘em in now.
(Solo)
I’m like a hurricane on the highway, left lane,
Pedal on the right, head full of dreams,
Going at full speed, I hit the ground running (x3)
Hit the ground running

Raised on Rock and Roll
(K.Hulshoff, B.Blackshear, P.Koziol)
(...rhythm and blues … huh!)
I don’t need no beauty queen,
Trying hard to imitate a page in a magazine.
I don’t need no fancy dress,
Those high heels, short skirts, crop tops look the best.
(Well I’m a sucker for a skirt I guess)
I don’t need no circus show,
I just need a woman that was
Raised on rock n roll!
Raised on rock and roll
(She’s got it deep down in her soul)
Raised on rock and roll
Raised on rock and roll
Give me a little woman that was raised on rock and roll!
Give me that woman that can feel the beat,
Rockin’ to the rhythm from her head down to her feet.
Well she’s a rhythm child, born to be wild,
No hip-hop, hippie, or cowgirl could match her style.
She’s wild!
She’s got Sweet Emotion in her smile, yeah.
I know you can feel it,
She’s raised on rock and roll
Deep down you can feel it,
She’s raised on rock and roll
I know you can feel it,
She’s raised on rock and roll
Deep down you can feel it,
Give me a little woman that was raised on rock and roll
She’s got a beat you can dance to,
She got that rhythm and blues,
And when she wants to romance you,
She’ll rock all night,
You can’t lose.

Surging Motion
(P.Koziol, J.Newell, K.Hulshoff)
Better times are brewin’,
After all that’s ruined,
This is the calm after the storm,
After everything’s been torn.
Don’t let your dreams slip away,
All tomorrows start today.
Take your chances ‘cause you know,
You'll never get there unless you go.
Surging motion, like the ocean,
Coming straight out of the clear blue sky.
Put your fear aside, your dream is still alive,
Of a future you’ve crafted from deep inside your mind.
(I’ll find new heights,
I’m strong enough to try,
I’ll - find my way,
I’ll fly one day,
God guide my way,
Design my life)
Now the curtain is open,
You can see your opus,
On the stage and on the scene,
Manifesting all your dreams.
Time has made you who you are,
You fought the battles, earned your scars,
Take your chances ‘cause you know,
You’ll never get there unless you go.
Chorus
(Solo)
Chorus
And every time you look behind you know the past will try to find you.
And every step you take, another terror of heartbreak will try to bind you.
But open up your eyes and see your dream of paradise.
It’s like the dream you have inside your mind is sight before your eyes.
You know you’re gonna win, if you’re refusing to give in, you’ll find your life.
Chorus

With Me Today
(K.Hulshoff, J.Newell)
I’m walking down these miles of sand,
Working on my suntan,
Wishing I could hold your hand,
And spend the time with you.
When you left me back at home,
I had to go it on my own,
Now I’m out here all alone,
And there’s no sign of you.
I tore myself apart,
Giving you my heart,
But then you threw me away.
Now if you could see,
Just where you would be,
If you were with me today.
If you were with me today.
The palm trees seem to wave goodbye,
But I still can’t get you off my mind,
My thoughts are rolling out with the tide,
Of what I meant to you.
A picture perfect paradise,
You could’vе been here by my side,
Island timе and moonlit nights,
I would have spent with you.
Chorus
I gave you everything you wanted,
(Everything but what I needed)
I gave you my heart,
(I gave you my heart)
But then you threw me away.

Generation Zombie
(K.Hulshoff)
Mass confusion on the rise,
A whole generation hypnotized,
Lies on the main screen,
Lies in the schools,
Lie undercover of the company of fools.
‘Woke’, won’t wake up,
They woke the walking dead,
Generation Zombie,
Think for yourself instead.
Go!
The walking dead, they’re holding signs,
Saying evil should be justified,
They say “Just change your sex,”
“Just change your mind,”
“Just take this poison ‘til you’re blind and dead inside.”
Chorus
(Solo)
Right is right even if no one else is doing it,
Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it,
Right is right even if no one else is doing it,
Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.
Chorus

Wrong Side of Love
(K.Hulshoff)
Ecstatic,
I think we had it bad
It - just seemed like magic.
A rabbit from a hat
It - appeared right out of the thin air
Just like it had been there
For all of our lives.
A demonstration,
Of imagination makes it,
Easy to think that we had witnessed it’s creation ain’t it,
Just an illusion using gimmick, smoke and mirrors?
While we’re distracted just as quick it disappears.
Now I’m on the wrong side of love, cause it should never be this tough.
‘Cause when I’m feeling like I really found the one we break up.
I’m on the wrong side of love, you should be breaking down my door,
But I’m here crying on the floor, I wonder why I try for love.
I tried to woo you,
Perhaps was too good to you,
Sometimes I think that no good deed could go unpunished,
Do you - need me to give you the mountains, to bathe you in fountains,
To have your own way?
Well I got jaded,
In consternation waited,
For signs it mattered that I shattered all your expectations.
The more I gave to you the more you took away,
The more I walk the line the more you walk away.
Chorus
A demonstration
Of imagination makes it,
Easy to think that we had witnessed it’s creation ain’t it,
Just an illusion using gimmick, smoke and mirrors?
While we’re distracted just as quick it disappears.

Guide You Home
(K.Hulshoff)
How can I find you,
When you're miles away?
You ran into trouble babe and
Now you just can’t walk away.
But I'd open my heart,
And open my life,
If you decide to leave it all behind.
Anywhere you go I’ll find you,
Call me I’ll be right beside you,
And if you lose your way I’ll guide you home.
In the darkest night I’ll find you,
And if you fall I’m right behind you,
And if you lose your way I’ll guide you home.
I know your searching,
Trying to find your way,
Like there’s happiness hiding out there,
That you hope to find one day.
But if your quest comes up empty,
And one day you realize,
It ain’t as good as what you left behind,
And you find me on your mind…
Chorus
I’m on your side,
Waiting on the line …
For you to change your mind.
(Solo)
Chorus
I’ll guide you home,
I’ll guide you home,
I’ll guide you home,
Home, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby!
I’ll guide you home.

Story of a Young Dude
(P.Koziol, K.Hulshoff)
I’ve got a story to tell you
It’s twisted up in my mind
Just a story about a young dude
Who keeps losing track of time
He’s got a job and he pays his bills
Saving money for rent
He gets a paycheck at the end of the week
But it’s already spent, and he said…
Lift me up I’m feeling left behind
I feel like I'm chasing something
That I think I’ll never find
I feel like my mind is stuck in overdrive
I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope
Across the borderline
One day when he was lonely
And tired inside
He wandered down to the music shop
A Jem was waiting inside
Six strings and a body of gold
He fell in love with the sound
He took it home when he was all alone
And he started playing it loud, singing
Chorus
He started humming something quietly out
And soon the melody’s becoming a song
It came from somewhere deep inside of him
And he started singing along
(Solo)
His uncle took him to a studio
It wasn’t part of his plan
He got his song up on the radio and
Now he’s got thousands of fans
singing...
Lift me up I’m feeling left behind
I feel like I'm chasing something that I thought I’d never find
I feel like my mind is stuck in overdrive
I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope
Across the borderline
La-da-da-da-da

Love Will Carry On
(K.Hulshoff)
Hello baby, it’s okay you didn’t wake me,
What’s up? I thought that you’d be sleeping at this hour,
What’s got you worryin' ?
I see you’ve been crying,
Afraid of your family dying,
And every tragedy your anxious mind creates.
But look around you…
Everything’s okay.
But even if I leave this life,
Before we say goodbye,
Just know that you’ll be fine my friend.
I’m just taking,
A new and golden road,
And though I’d have to go,
I want you all to know though I’m gone,
My love will carry on.
Remember the town fair,
The smell of the summer air,
Our first kiss and all the laughing that we’ve done,
And what’s left to come.
Life has its seasons,
We don't get reasons,
Or any notice when it’s time for them to change,
But we keep on smiling through the pain.
Just remember if I leave this life,
I know that you’ll be fine,
Just give it your best try my dear.
We’re just taking,
Some new untrodden roads,
And if it’s past my time to go,
I want you all to know though I'm gone,
My love will carry on.
(Solo)
(On and on, and on and on, and on, and on)
We’ve gotta give it our best shot,
With whatever time we’ve got,
Cause we can’t out live the clock,
We’ve got right now! (right now!)
And if right now is all we’ve got…
Just remember,
If I leave this life,
Before we say goodbye,
Just know that we'll be fine,
I Promise You!
We’re just taking different roads,
And if that’s how this story goes,
Then I want you all to know,
That love will carry on.
And on and on and on and on and on and on,
Love will carry on,
And on and on and on and on and on and on,
'Til all is said and done,
'Til the final war has been won,
Love will carry on,
And on and on,
Love will carry on …
(and on)
