IT'S TIME TO GET
THEM BALLS
FREE TO ROLL
SPEAD YOUR WINGS
YOU CAN FLY
BUT THE DOVE
IS NEVER FREE
IN PAINTED SKIES
THAT SHADE
THE COLOR OF
YOUR DREAM

NOW IT ALL SEEMS FUNNY
KINDA LIKA LIKE A DREAM
THINGS AIN'T ALWAYS
WHAT THEY SEEM
WHAT A SHAME
WHAT HAPPED TO JAYNE
I'M NOT AFRAID
OF BURNING BRIDGES
'CAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA
LIGHT MY WAY
LIKE A PHOENIX
FROM THE ASHES
WELCOME TOI THE FUTURE
IT'S A NEW DAY
YOU CAN'T QUIT
UNTIL YOU TRY
YOU CAN'T LIVE
UNTIL YOU DIE
YOU CAN'T LEARN
TO TELL THE TRUTH
UNTIL YOU LEARN
TO LIE
