"THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD" - Words and music written by Willie Chains (2009)


EVERY ROAD I WALK ALONG
MAKES ME WANT TO SING MY SONG
IN MY HEAD, A HAPPY MELODY
WITH ALL THE JOYS OF LIFE, AS YOU CAN SEE

MY LIFE WON’T BRING ME DOWN
I RACE FROM TOWN TO TOWN
RUNNING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

ALL THE CHILDREN LOOK AT ME
WITH EYES OF CURIOSITY
DIFFERENT, BUT INSIDE WE’RE ALL THE SAME
LISTEN NOW, AS I CALL OUT YOUR NAME

THE LIGHT THAT GLOWS WITHIN
IS BURNING UNDERNEATH MY SKIN
RISING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

OH, A DISTANT CALLING
OH, AND I AM FALLING
BACK INTO YOUR ARMS ONCE AGAIN
A FAR OFF MEMORY, A LONG LOST FRIEND

I SEE YOU THROUGH THE DOORWAY
IT ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY
AT TIMES YOU KNOW, I’M NEVER SAD AND BLUE
EVERY TIME YOU SEE ME SHINNING THROUGH

WHEN LIFE PICKS ME UP
I’M DRINKING FROM IT’S CUP
DANCING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD


OH, I HEAR YOU CALLING
OH, I SEE YOU FALLING
RIGHT BACK IN MY ARMS ONCE AGAIN
TOGETHER HAPPILY ‘TIL THE END


BRINGING HOME MY LITTLE BOY
A PRECIOUS GIFT, MY PRIDE AND JOY
LOOK INTO MY EYES, YOU’LL KNOW THE SCORE
ILLUMINATES MY HEART FOR EVERMORE

THE LOVE I FEEL INSIDE
FILLS ME EVERYTIME
COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD

“THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST” Words and music by Willie Chains (2009)


THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST
THEY’RE COMING IN FAST
I CAN’T SEEM TO CATCH MY BREATH

I LIE AWAKE DREAMING
CAN’T STOP BELIEVING
I’M COLD AND I’M SCARED TO DEATH

FRIEGHTENED BY STRANGERS
I LIVE AMONG DANGERS
THE FEAR, UNIMAGINABLY VAST

I’M PUT TO THE TEST
I CAN’T SEEM TO REST
ACCUSED BY THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST




ADRIFT ALL ALONE
CHILLED TO THE BONE
THE MEMORIES CONFIRM THE UNREAL

IN MY MIND I CAN FIND
CIRCUMSTANCES UNKIND
SITUATIONS REVEAL WHAT I FEEL

THERE’S NOBODY HOME
A DRONE ON THE PHONE
A VISION OF THE SHADOW I CAST

AT NIGHT I LIE SHAKEN
FOREBODING, FORESAKEN
ASLEEP WITH THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST




ATTACKED BY THE HISTORY
SHROWDED IN MYSTERY
IT SEEMS SO FAR, YET SO NEAR

AS TIME PASSES BY
TO LOOK THROUGH THE EYE
A FUTURE WHICH SEEMS SO UNCLEAR

A LABARYNTH OF CHANGES
LIFE REARRANGES
ESCAPED FROM THE DEMONS AT LAST

DESTROYING THE DREAD
THE HATRED IS SHED
ERASING THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST

ERASED ARE THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST

"WAITING FOR A SIGN" – Words and music by Willie Chains (2009)

WAITING HERE FOREVER
BIDING MY TIME
THINKING THAT THE STORM WILL BREAK
BUT THE SUN AIN’T GONNA SHINE.

THE TIME MAY NEVER COME
FOR YOU AND ME TO FIND
THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS
THAT CIRCLE THROUGH MY MIND.

WAITING FOR A SIGN
ONE TO SHOW ME, WHICH WAY IS MINE
CUZ I DON’T KNOW,
WHICH WAY I’M GONNA GO
I‘LL BE, WAITING FOR A SIGN.



NEVER DO YOU LISTEN
TO THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD
YOU’VE NEVER BEEN HUNGRY
CUZ YOU’VE NEVER BEEN FED.

WHAT YOU TRY TO DENY
WILL JUST BE KILLING YOU INSIDE
I’M LOOKING RIGHT THROUGH YOU
AND THE TEARS YOU TRY TO HIDE.

WAITING FOR A SIGN
FOR YOU TO SHOW ME, WHAT I NEED TO FIND
THE CHASM IN YOUR HEART,
WILL KEEP ON TEARING YOU APART
I’M STILL, WAITING FOR A SIGN.



INSIDE OUT
ON A ROUNDABOUT
SURRENDERING MY SENSES
DECIEVING ME IN DOUBT.

LOST AND FOUND
SPINNING ROUND AND ROUND
I’M BEGGING FOR YOUR HELP
MY HANDS ARE BOUND.

WAITING FOR A SIGN
A WARNING OF THE FUTURE, AND THE FEARS ARE LEFT BEHIND
TOGETHER WILL WE GROW,
TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS
WE’LL BE, WAITING FOR A SIGN.

"WHAT IF" - Words and music by Willie Chains (2009)

WHAT IF I SAID THAT I’D CHANGE YOUR NAME,
WOULD EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE EVER KNOWN, REMAIN THE SAME
WHAT IF I SAID I COULD READ YOUR MIND,
IMAGINE ALL THE STRANGE THINGS I’D FIND.

WHAT IF I SAID I COULD TRAVEL THROUGH TIME,
AND ALL THAT’S TO COME WILL WORK OUT JUST FINE.
WHAT IF I SAID THAT I’LL NEVER GROW OLD,
WATCHING THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN UNFOLD.



HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN HEAR ME,
HOW MANY OUT THERE CAN SEE ME,
HOW MANY OF YOU CAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES,
AND FIND…. THAT YOU BELIEVE ME.



WHAT IF I SAID THERE COULD BE NO WAR,
THAT SIN AND PERVERSION WOULD BE NO MORE.
WHAT IF I SAID OUR THOUGHTS CAN BE CHANGED,
BELIEFS AND PERCEPTIONS ARRANGED.


WHAT IF I SAID THAT THE EARTH WAS DESTROYED,
TATTERED AND BATTERED AND VOID.
WHAT IF I SAID THAT WE FAILED TO SURVIVE,
THAT I WAS THE LAST MAN ALIVE.



HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN HEAR ME,
HOW MANY OF YOU CAN SEE ME,
HOW MANY OUT THERE CAN READ BETWEEN THE LINES,
AND FIND….THAT THEY BELIEVE.

"I FEEL ALIVE" - Words and music by Willie Chains (2008)

I’M FREE
FROM ALL RESPONSIBILITY
AND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU WANT ME TO BE
NOW I’M FREE

AND I
I FEEL ALIVE
FROM DEEP INSIDE
I FEEL ALIVE

I GRIEVE FOR YOU
WITH ALL THE CRAZY THINGS YOU SAY AND DO
AND HOW I’D NEVER WANT TO BE IN YOUR SHOES
HOW I GRIEVE FOR YOU

AND I
I FEEL ALIVE
AND I CAN’T DENY
I FEEL ALIVE

I CAN SEE
ALL THAT LIES IN FRONT OF ME
AND WHAT WILL BE MY DESTINY
NOW I SEE

AND I
I FEEL ALIVE
IT’S MY TIME TO FLY
I FEEL ALIVE

I FEEL ALIVE
