Seven Days (2:45)
Lost for seven days so I tried to find
Some of the things that I’d left behind
Then I saw what I never had discovered
Days gone by that can never be recovered
Lost for seven days now they’re lost forever now
Seven days ago I lost my mind
Seven more days spent to rewind
Seven days lost in my mind
Years gone by I’ve changed my mind
Lost for seven days now they’re lost forever now

The Light’s On You (4:01)
You’ve been as close to the edge as you can be
Voice comes on and says “Why aren’t you happy?”
“I’ve been on the earth for twenty-nine years
And haven’t found what I should do with my life.”
Man comes on the screen and he asks boldly
“Does it make you sad to be so lonely?”
“I think I know what life’s about
Yet never have I had a chance to find out what went wrong.”
The light’s on you, tell us the story of your life
The light’s on you, tell us even if you don’t feel right about
The things you’ve done
Tell us why you’re on the run
The light’s on you, tell us the story of your life
Silence fills the room, the air turns sour
Think to yourself, it’s been almost an hour
How can I say just how I feel
When I’ve been taught to hide the things that come from inside?”
Who can we steal today
Who can we use today
To put in front of us to cover up ourselves
And keep it all safe inside
You sense the fact that the ordeal is over
You feel the cross being lifted off your shoulder
“The end of the beginning
And I think that I’m about to see the start of something new.. ”

If You Tried (2:54)
Do you know what strength you have inside?
Even wonder what you could do if you tried?
Let your best judgment be your guide
Ever wonder what you could do if you tried?
Make up your mind and that you will not let down
Taking your time don’t let them put you down
Stay and see it through
Tell yourself you’ve got time on your side
Ever wonder what you could do if you tried?
You’ve got more than what you know outside
Ever wonder what you could do if you tried?

Don’t Cry For Me (3:48)
Sun comes up on a brand new morning
Last night I spent up downtown walking
The night won’t end I'm my only friend
Now the nighttime wraps its heavy arms around me
Don’t cry or be sad for what it means to me
It will all work out in the end you’ll see
I close my eyes and think of springtime
I pray for life and happy endings
To get away from this darkest day
I wish that there would be an end to blackened reason
Don’t cry or be sad for what it means to me
It will all work out in the end you’ll see
I never let you know you got the best of me
There’ll always be a side you’ll never see.

In the Winter (3:39)
I feel cold and lonely it just doesn’t mean a thing
Speak to me slowly it just doesn’t mean a thing
‘Cause no-one ever goes out in the winter
Spirit never grows out in the winter
Everyone knows the sun never shows until the end of winter
Frozen water fountains it just doesn’t mean a thing
Snow-covered mountains it just doesn’t mean a thing
In December I remember you never get too old
To want to see the stars come down

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong (3:50)
When they say, “Don’t try something new!”
I always like to try and find out what will happen if you do
“Two’s company and three’s a crowd,”
I never cared too much for what is right and what is not allowed
You cannot say, “I told you so!”
You’re always right but now you’re wrong, wrong, wrong
You cannot stay!
Out you must go!!
You know you’re right but now you’re wrong, wrong, wrong!
It’s hard to guess where someone really stands!
You never know for sure so never kill a snake with your bare hands

K Street (3:18)
After all the troubles come and gone
They were here for so long
Now I’ve got this sinking feeling
Everyone seems to be leaving
And I can’t believe how lonely it is here on K Street
There’s no-one like me here on K Street
How lonely it is here on K Street today
I thought that all the problems had gone away
I found out where I could be
They were back the very next day
And I don’t know what to believe
I’ve stood right here a million times before
There’s nothing I remember anymore
Has it all changed so much or is it all in me?
Please lift me up and let me see!
No one understands me completely
I try to make myself clear
No-one ever believes me
I couldn’t be more sincere

You Will Be the One (by Richard Stuverud) (3:22)
There was a time when you
Once felt your heart begin to sink
And life was like a crown of thorns
Cutting at you so deep
I know it must of been like going through hell
I know there’s a better way just leave the past behind
And you will be the one who knows all the rules
You will be the one who’s been through it all
You will be the one who never follows their heart anymore
Have no regrets once you’ve been down
You’ve learned hard that strength will carry you through
All the hurt and misery you have found

Call It What You Want (5:23)
Called a friend of mine today
Just wanted to see how he was
He let the phone ring though he was home
It’s just something that he does
I would have asked him what was new
If there’d been trouble he’d been through
Was he working or been to school
Was there something he’d like to do?
He’s alone he doesn’t care
Say’s it’s how he wants to be
Says he like a lonely day
Say’s he’s better off that way
Looked in his room from dawn to dusk
No one knows just what he does
He wasn’t seen for one whole year
No-one wondered where he was
He’s home from work he makes his dinner
Reads a book, turn on the news
He’s got a door but doesn’t need one
Has a car he’ll never use
Never goes out at night
I’ll stay home, thanks I’ll be just fine
But that’s not how it always was
He used to do things all the time

Set Me Free (3:43)
Originally written and performed by The Sweet (Desolation Boulevard).

I Need Some Help (3:33)
I’ve been lied to led around and then cut down
Been spit on and walked upon by you
I’ve been run through slapped ‘till sober
Then driven over held at bay then thrown away by you
But not anymore
Never again
Never again by you
I need some help beside me
Got to throw the past behind me
Now more than yesterday
The truth must come alive
I feel more than half dead
The gun lies there beside my bed
You don’t forget a thing
I said to you I been sick all day
Yesterday and everyday
I’m sick of all that has to with you
