1.Eye Of The Tiger(Rocky Theme)
Risin' up -- back on the street,
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive --
So many times, it happens too fast,
You trade your passion for glory,
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past,
You must fight just to keep them alive
*It's the Eye of the Tiger,
It's the thrill of the fight,
Rising up to the challenge of our rival,
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night,
And he's watching us all
With the Eye of the Tiger.*
Face to face -- out in the heat,
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill, with the skill to survive --
( * Repeat)
Risin' up -- straight to the top,
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive --
( * Repeat)
2.You Know Who You Are
Somewhere in America one night
Out on the road I Saw her face
Trying hard to blend in with the others
She looked so out of place
Wo oh - her eyes, they caught me by surprise
They haunt my memory
Wo oh - she turned me around
Read my thoughts aloud
She moved me with a look
Then vanished in the crowd
*You know who you are
In the night you l feel a shiver
As I touch you from afar
Shining like a star
From the world we l keep a secret
You know who you are*
The towns all run together
As the days pour into nights and fade away
Staring at the schedule
To go back to the city and the day
Wo oh - come to me, listen to my voice
Follow what you fell
Wo oh - run to me, I searching for a clue
A number or a name
I'm reaching out to you
( * Repeat)
Sometimes when my heart can't find a reason
And it's just another season passing by
Wo oh - sometimes, I can close my eyes and touch you
In a moment I can feel again the way it felt that night
3.Burning Heart
Two worlds collide - rival nations,
It's a primitive clash - venting years of frustrations,
Bravely we hope against all hope - there is so much at stake.
Seems our freedom's up against the ropes.
Does the crowd understand?
Is a East versus West, or man against man,
Can any nation stand - alone.
*In the burning heart - just about to burst,
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst,
In the darkest night - rising like a spire,
In the burning heart - the unmistakable fire.*
In the warriors code - there's no surrender,
Though his body says stop - his spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul a quiet ember,
Knows it's you against you, it the
Paradox that drives us on -
It's a battle of wills, in the heat of attack,
It's the passion that kills -
The victory is yours alone.
(* Repeat)
4.The Search is Over
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
*I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while*
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
( * Repeat)
Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you give a damn
You'll know for certain the man I really am
( * Repeat)
5.High On You
There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night
It's understood, I had to reach ya
I let the wheel of fortune spin
I touched your hand before the crowd
Started crushin' in
Now I'm higher than a kite
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I --
*I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you*
Smart and coy, a little crazy
The kinda face that starts a fight
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
Piercin' eyes, like a raven
You seemed to share my secret sin
We were high before the night
Started kickin' in
Now I'm screamin' in the night
I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle
Of the street and I --
( * Repeat)
6.Is This Love
I've heard talk of blind devotion
Lovers through thick and thin
Lives touched with real emotion
Faithful 'til the bitter end
Now, I must admit that the story's attractive
I've lost in far too many affairs
I've seen all the pain that the morning can bring
I need to prove to myself
This is more than a crush
Can you convince me
It's not just the physical rush
*Is this love that I'm feelin'
Is this love that's been keepin' me up all night
Is this love tha I'm feelin
Is this love*
So many nights in blind confusion
I've walked the line of love
We reach out in disillusion
When one night isn't nearly enough
Now, I'd like to know that for once in my life
I'm sure of what tomorrow may bring
I've heard all your talk, can I take it to heart
Now look me straight in the eye
Cause tonight is the night
We've got to ask each other
If the moment is right
( * Repeat)
I've tread those mean streets, blind alleys
Where the currency of love changes hands
All touch -- no feeling
Just another one night stand
I need to know that there's someone who cares
Could you be the angel to answer my prayers?
( * Repeat)
7.I Can't Hold Back
There's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I've been holding back the night
I've been searching for a clue from you
I'm gonna try with all my might
To make this story line come true
Can ya feel me tremble when we touch
Can ya feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
This love affair can't wait
*I can't hold back, I'm on the edge
(I can't hold back)
You voice explodes inside my head
I can't hold back, I won't back down
Girl it's too late to turn back now*
Another shooting star goes by
And in the night the silence speaks to you and I
And now the time has come at last
Don't let the moment run too fast
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate reaching out to both of us
There's a story in my eyes, turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
( * Repeat)
8.Hungry Years
Would you still love me, if just perhaps
The roof above our heads should suddenly collapse
Would you still take me, for what I am
If I had nothin
This heart an engine, it running lean
I down to skin and bone and still I fightin?clean
Do you share this vision, this reckless dream
Like the day we met.
If we work together we can pull this train
Can wait forever for the winds of change
Will you stand beside me like you did before
When the storm is at the window
And the wolf is at the door
*These are the hungry years
Stand up and face your fears
Your faith can fight these tears
These are the hungry years*
Sometimes I watch you as you sleep
So safely unaware we might be in to deep
I hide my feelings behind these shades
Like you don see
And if we pull together we can make this climb
With a love as tough as these desperate times
Will you stand beside me like you did before
Now the storme is at the window
And the wolf is at the door
( * Repeat)
Do you remember the feelings we had
Baby, the first time we touched
Is there a way to find it again
Girl is that asking too much - too much
9.American Heartbeat
The night's alive with wind and fire,
We telegraph our heart's desire,
Though the night -- with our eyes,
Wheels are turnin' -- fast and hard,
Hearts are burnin' on the boulevard,
Hear them pound -- young and proud,
It's the American Heartbeat.
Chart the stars and head out for the action,
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction.
*It's the American Heartbeat,
The American Heartbeat,
It's the American Heartbeat --
American Heartbeat. *
The stage is set, the roles are chosen,
The lights grow hot at the midnight's closin'
In at last, it comes so fast,
Poundin' harder as the midnight's striking,
It hits us like a blot of lightning,
But deeper down it's the sound of the American Heartbeat.
So chart the stars and head out for the action,
Hit the streets and find some satisfaction.
( * Repeat)
10.Poor Man's Son
Baby if you really love me
You had better understand
That the silver in your pocket
Ain no measure of a man
*And though the fortunes of our fathers
We aspire to rise above
When you e born into a breed
You e signed in blood*
**I a poor mans son
Workin?all night long
Got a bad guitar
And a simple song
You e a rich mans daughter
Look at what you e done
You went and fell in love
With a poor mans son**
Baby you were born in splendor
To a house of wealth and fame
Your mother was a spender
And you grew up on a stage
And girl you coulda loved for money
Coulda fooled around for fame
You went and took a chance
On the real thing
( * Repeat )
( ** Repeat )
11.The Moment of Truth
When you're alone you ask yourself
What are you searching for
Deep in the night a dream is born
One that you can't ignore
If you think you tan find the passion
And you're ready to take a chance
If you really believe you can make it
Then the power is in your own hands
*It's the moment of truth
You're giving it all
Standing alone, willing to fall
If you can do it
Get up and prove it
Get up and show them who you are
It's the moment of truth
It's all on the line
This is the place
This is the time
Waited forever, it's now or it's never
Nothing can stop you now*
Once in your life you make a choice
Ready to risk it all
Deep in your soul you hear a voice
Answering to the call
Though yea know that it won't be easy
It's a promise you make for love
For the people that keep believing
And the one that you're thinking of
( * Repeat)
12.Somewhere in America
Somewhere...
**Hey girl. help me if you can
I'm coming to you with my heart in my hand
Give me love, I'm starved for affection
All I need is just a little direction**
* Wow
Somewhere in America,
somewhere cross the sea
Somewhere in America,
she waits for me*
I need a teacher who can use a pet
Give me a lesson in etiquette
If there is anyone who'd like to try
Maybe she'd like to come and teach me tonight
(* Repeat)
Same old story, same old song and dance
What good is the glory, if you can't find romance
I know she is waiting
Ooh, somewhere in the heartland
And if she's out there tonight
I wish she would raise her hand
(**Repeat)
(*Repeat)
Somewhere in America....
