We were meant for freedom
The light told me so
The darkness ain't our brother 
But he's knockin' at the door
We were meant for freedom 
And we will survive
The opposition's growing
And alone we decide

We were meant for freedom
The light told me so
The darkness ain't our brother 
But he's knockin' at the door
We were meant for freedom 
And we will survive
The opposition's growing
And alone we decide

We've got to plant our feet
We've got hold our ground
We've got to take them on 
Can't let eachother down.

So let's go 
We're going down like a storm 
Everything we've worked for 
Everything we own
Is on the line

We were meant for justice
That's what the records say
Our simple minds grow tired
Of walkin' the wrong way (yeah)
We were meant for justice 
But these burning towns won't hold
The opposition's growing
And the air is getting cold

Alone

Pull up your dress 
To walk through the mud
Knock on the glass
For a midnight touch
Stay for the night
Just to wake up

And turn the lights off
Voices low and take me in your arms right now

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone

I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone

Open your eyes
It's 3:24
You're not surprised
I slept on the floor
I move aside
You bring the blankets down, down

And there's no where going but up now
No way we're going anywhere but up now

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone

I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone

Hand in hand 
And side by side
You're not on your own 
Hand in hand 
And side by side
Don't let me go 

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone

I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
(Cause) I've been living uh
I've been living alone
(So) Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone, no

Before the Fall

There's a hill that I found on a SaturdayIn the middle of the city but its man made
And on the top is a little blue house
Filled with the people I care about

There's a park next to a graveyard
A carpet filled hill that fireworks shoot off
And in my heart dot the memories
Of all the things people say to me

And if I could take all the bad 
I would give the good I have 
And if I could take all your pain
I would give up everything

With the white hills strong before you
There was something that was lost
I held the roses and the flowers
Before the fall 

With the white hills strong before you 
There was something that lost
There was so much more than comfort
Before the fall
There was so much more than comfort 
Before the fall

And I feel the rain on my face tonight
I love the way the ferry boats glide 
Across the waves of the Puget Sound
Once I was lost but now I'm found

Tilting trees in the moon the moonlight
I love the breeze passing by my side
You said goodbye when I didn't know
Now I'm left to let you go

Boats

I've got boats
I've got a whole fleet
And I've got the finest ships that sail in these seven seas
And we fish for fish
And we've caught liars
But we threw them back, 'cause we aim for something so much higher

Oh oh oh
How the waves got to me 
Well you snuck inside
You got me revived
And I asked you not to leave

Oh oh oh
My sea strong girl
I need someone to be my eyes
I need someone who can compromise
I need someone to be my life 
Won't you be my world?

I can cook 
But I can't read
And I've got more books on these ruddy shelves than I've got time you see
But I will work
I will work for you
And I'll give you everything I have 
and I promise to be true

Repeat chorus

I've got boats
I've got a whole fleet
And I know for certain you're the only person that I want next to me
And we fish for fish
And we fish for free
And I'm just glad that you're right here to keep me company

Repeat Chorus
Won't you be my world?
I said, won't you be my world
won't you be my world
won't you be my world
I said, won't you be my world

Heart

Music and Lyrics by Tom Butler
Listen to Heart: https://soundcloud.com/tombutlersings/sets/heart

I fell down from the mountain
On all of my mistakes
I washed the blood from my hands
You washed blood from my face

Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?

I know I could've been should've been no
I know I could've been should've been no

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart
You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

Stand up dust off my jeans now
Look at the mess I've made
Start now to keep my commitments
Start now to take my place

Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?

I know I could've been should've been no
I know I could've been should've been no

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart
