Five For Fighting Lyrics

The Last Great American (New Last Verse (9/15/2001)) lyrics - Five For Fighting

Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember

And through the town the pallbearers sing old songs

Of a beautiful and purple mountain

From every walk of life we've come to see the Last Great American

May I now present you the speaker

Friends he was a man of men, a man of gold

He had a how do you say ethical like sense

That's when the President started to giggle

Then the children gave the blessing

Though the service weren't half done

Each of them sued the other one

For the last great American

Mr. Reaches up and we bow our heads

He pulls the lid on down as his stone is read

Here lies our Merry the man with the heart so spent

That in this day and age is sick of living

Then the funeral pyre was shattered

And the world became undone

The mourners raised their heads up

As the crowd began to run

Then everybody stopped...

...to the beating of a drum.

For through the smoke and morning sun

Stands the Last Great American

Easy Tonight lyrics - Five For Fighting

You were wrong

You were right

You are gone

Tonight

You were free

So alive

You were wrong

You were right

You were down

You could see

You wore hearts

for me

You were sharp

Sharp as knives

You were wrong

You were right

Shot down: said you never had the chance

Took a ride on a suicide romance

Could have sworn there was somebody home

To facilitate the great unknown

Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere

Don't know where I'm going yet:

But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire: anybody home

I got two dimes in the telephone

Alright: It's not easy tonight

You were bound

You were free

You wear black

for me

You were dark

Dark as night

You were wrong

You were right

Shot down: said you never had the chance

Took a ride on a suicide romance

Could have sworn there was somebody home

To facilitate the great unknown

But woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere

Don't know where I'm going yet:But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire: anybody home

I got two dimes in the telephone

Alright: It's not easy tonight

She's In. Over my head:and it's not easy it's not easy tonight

Shotgun fire: anybody home

I got two dimes in the telephone

Alright: It's not easy tonight

You were free:Now your not:You were free

Bloody Mary (A Note On Apathy) lyrics - Five For Fighting

Over by the still she says,

"Man I think you better wait for tomorrow!

Take this pillow for your head

And I'll take you."

Back against the beast I went

To feel her coming, hot for a follow up

Here comes the sun again:(to see me through)

On and on she takes me from you, my love

On and on she rakes me from you

Happily I leave her fed

Tonight I swear, I swear on tomorrow:(wait)

Here comes the sun again

To see me through:

On and on she takes me from you, my love

On and on she rakes me from you

Bloody Mary's for all:

On and on she takes me from you, my love

On and on she rakes me from you

All of my dreams for you:to follow

All of my dreams for you:to swallow

All of my dreams for you:

Superman (It's Not Easy) lyrics - Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naïve

I'm just out to find

The better part of me

I'm more than a bird,

I'm more than a plane

I'm more than some pretty face beside a train

It's not easy to be me

I wish that I could cry

Fall upon my knees

Find a way to lie

'Bout a home I'll never see

It may sound absurd but don't be naïve

Even heroes have the right to bleed

I may be disturbed but won’t you concede

Even heroes have the right to dream

And it's not easy to be me

Up, up and away, away from me

Well, it's alright

You can all sleep sound tonight

I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly

I'm not that naïve

Men weren't meant to ride

With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

Only a man in a funny red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me

Inside of me, inside of me [2x]

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet

I’m only a man looking for a dream

I’m only a man in a funny red sheet

And it's not easy.

It's not easy to be me.

America Town lyrics - Five For Fighting

I know I should be happy in your land

It's not all that wild to me

Not that I want to be any other where

I know its hell out there

Here in the borders of America Town

All of the dollies are spinning round and round

Hail to the chief

Lets just drag them all down

There's got to be a hero somewhere

Used to get annoyed at the fire and the flag

Now it just seems old to me

(Everyone is old to me)

And I know we'd kick your ass

But first I'll take a nap tonight

And know someone's looking out for me

Here in the borders of America Town

All of the dollies are spinning round and round

Hail to the chief

Lets just drag them all down

There's got to be a hero somewhere

I tried it

I've seen it

I bought it all

Not that I'm upset

I can still make my bet on the basketball game

And I got my spare change

I'm even O.K. with the hoodlums on the hill

They're in my will

Like her and you

Whom and who

In America Town

We all spin around

In America Town

I'm really not down:

We all spin around

In America Town

America Town

Something About You lyrics - Five For Fighting

I don't know where to begin

I don't know how to get out there to see you

I don't know where to dig in.

I don't know how to get in there:to feel you

It's been to long and I'm about to be in time for me

It's been to long and I'm in time

Baby there's something about you that

I can hold on to

I'm going to hold on to that

Baby there's something about you that

I can hold on to

I'm going to hold on to that

I never thought I would win

I never thought much about that.

(It's been a long time coming)

I never stopped to begin

Thinking about the process.

(It's been a long time coming)

It's been to long and I'm about to be in time for me

It's been to long and I'm in time

Baby there's something about you that

I can hold on to

I'm going to hold on to that

Baby there's something about you that

I can hold on to

I'm going to hold on to that

I don't know where to begin

I don't know how to get out there to see you

Baby there's something about you that

I can hold on to

I'm going to hold on to that

Baby there's something about you that

I can hold on to

I'm going to hold on to that

It's been a long time coming

I'm going to hold on to that

And I'm going to be there:be there:alright

Jainy lyrics - Five For Fighting

Jainy sells for three dimes a night

Morning helps her find her way blind

And I love her more than I can tell

Heaven help me now

Seems I found to find her just as well:

Jainy Yea:

Jainy Yea

Jainy takes me three times a night

Morning Saves me and I find my way blind

And she loves me more than she can tell

Heaven help her now

Seems she's found to find me just as well

Jainy Yea:

Jainy stares at stars every night

Morning takes her eyes every time

And she'll love you more than you can tell

Heaven help us now

Seems you've finally found us: just as well:

Jainy Yea:

She'll be all right

Out Of Love lyrics - Five For Fighting

I'm Out of love again

And I need anyone

I'm out of love again

And I need everyone

I'm out. I'm in again

And I need some love

I'm out of touch again

And I need you babe

I'm out of love again

But I got your stuff

I'm out of love again

But I got your love

I'm out of wack again

And I need soft heat

I'm down to far too bend

And I need something sweet

I'm out of love again

But I got your stuff

I'm out of love again

But I got your love

I'm out of love again

But I got your stuff

People in my life:you're the one

Of people in my life you're the one

I'm out of love again

But I got your love

I'm out of love again

But I got your stuff

I'm out of love again

But I got your love

I'm out of love again

Not while you're by my side

Wait...Time for my coffin

Wait...Time for my break

Wait...Time for my coffin

Merry reaches up and we bow our heads

Pulls the lid on down and his stone is read

Here lies our Merry

The man with the heart so spent

That in this day in age

is sick of living

Still judges argue letters

And fabric comes undone

For every daughter...every son..of the last great American

Love Song lyrics - Five For Fighting

Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes.

Put away your bullshit.

Big Boys they don't cry to their mammas.

She'll be back soon.

Put away your rain coat and make your bed.

Take another bullet right to your head now.

We're going on a picnic

and we'll get there soon.

And she says maybe it's over.

And he says, there's plenty more fish in the sea

But I say, don't go away...from me.

So put away your dinner and have a snack.

Tie your little brother up in a sack.

We're moving to the country

And we'll get there soon.

Pack up all the things that you don't deserve.

Take another swing, well here comes a curve ball.

I betcha can't hit it

Cause you'll swing too soon.

And she says maybe it's over.

And he says, there's plenty more fish in the sea.

But I say, Don't go away...

Don't go away...

Please don't go away...from me

But can you take it to heart...

I'll never leave...

So take those damn pictures off of that shelf.

Put away your mommy. You don't need her.

I found you a new one.

And she'll be here soon.

And she says, My God it's over.

And he says, I found another fish in the sea

But I say, why me...why me

why...is it me?

Boat Parade lyrics - Five For Fighting

There's a crack in the hull

Where the penitents used to live

There's a crack in the hull

Where the Penitents used to live

And we can make it right if we row all night

Give all that we can give

There's a crack in the hull

Where the penitents used to live

There's a leak in the hold

Where the infantry used to sleep

There's a leak in the hold

Where the Infantry used to sleep

And we can make it right if we roll all night

Baby dust off your knees

There's a leak in the hold

Where the infantry used to be

Little monsters (on the table)

Crazies here to play

Little monsters in the boat parade

There's a hole in the hat

Where the captain kept his dreams

There's a hole in the hat

Where the Captain kept his dreams

And we can make it right

If we sail all night

Better pray for a breeze

There's a hole in the hat

Where the captain used to be

Alright lyrics - Five For Fighting

I Took her leaving like I did before

I Turned around and I asked for more

And she didn't even mean a thing to me

I Left my spirit at the chapel door

I Sailed around til I lost the war

And you didn't even think to send a thing

But I'm alright, alright, I feel alright

I never been better in my life

You know the score

I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine

A regular sawed off valentine

That nothing more

I Hit my head upon the chamber door

And all the marbles rolled on the floor

And all the pyschos in the ward start screaming:

I'm alright, alright, I feel alright

I never been better in my life

You know the score

I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine

A regular sawed off valentine

That nothing more

My Baby

I'm alright, alright, I feel alright

I never been better in my life

You know the score

I'm just fine, I'm fine, feeling fine

A regular sawed off valentine

That nothing more

Do You Mind lyrics - Five For Fighting

DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU A QUESTION

DO YOU MIND IF I SWEAR NOT TO HURT YOU

DO YOU MIND IF I DON'T PISS ON YOUR BED

DO YOU MIND IF I BRING HER STILL WITH ME

DO YOU MIND IF I FORGET AND THANK YOU

DO YOU MIND IF I JUGGLE THE MEANING

DO YOU CARE THAT I ONLY WEAR SILVER

DO YOU CARE THAT SET ONLY STONE

ARE YOU ANGRY THE YOU I'M ADOPTING

IS ONLY A PRETENSE AT HOME

DO YOU MIND IF I MAKE YOU WEAR EARRINGS

LIKE SHE DID, LIKE YOU DID BEFORE

DO YOU MIND FOR I THINK I STILL LOVE YOU

DO YOU MIND

ALWAYS HAVE

EVERMORE

Bella's Birthday Cake lyrics - Five For Fighting

Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year

Took a certain liking to a fellow there - Bella

She said I brought her back to some old better man - fellah

Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...

Bella made her bed in red every loneliest night of the year

Tied me to the rages of her rocking chair - Bella

Fed me quiet offer through her ever wares - I'll tell ya

Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Like Lightning, Like Fire

Bella's Birthday Cake was burning

Ever yearning Forest Fire

and all of her lines she left unread

"spirits and battles won," she said

and over her mountian tops she ground me off

where...I can't remember...

Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year

Bella she was born today...

BELLA'S Birthday Cake was burning

Bella's BIRTHDAY Cake was burning

Bella's Birthday CAKE was burning

Bella's Birthday Cake was BURNING...50 years gone.

Day By Day lyrics - Five For Fighting

Day by Day I wake up for you I do

and I rise to who knows who

well if I can say...some other day

Day by Day I reach out to you I do

and I pretend there's something to it

And if I can say...I've had better days

Day by Day I resort to you I do

and I wash up after you're through

If I can say...that's O.K.

You're in my head again

You're in my bed again

You're in my mirror again

And if you don't mind me...I don't mind you

Day by Day I reflect on you I do

I reflect on you I do

The Garden lyrics - Five For Fighting

Do you believe in the man in the garden

Do you believe that he was there

Do you believe in the man in the garden

Do you believe or do you care

Did he rise from the ashes and lead the sky above

Did he lie in the name of love

....in the garden

Do you believe in the path that you follow

Do you believe it takes you where you want

Do you believe in the lies that you swallow

Do you believe it takes you where you go

See the man. He never lies he never will

Did he fight for the right to kill

....in the garden

There's a little man in a house alone...waiting

He doesn't lie.

He doesn't wait for love to hold on to

He doesn't lie. He doesn't wait...

Johnny's in the garden

I see the err in my ways

....in the garden

Do you believe in the man in the garden

Ocean lyrics - Five For Fighting

I got a thing for fish with no eyes

Who swim deep in the sea

With nothing to see

I've got a thing for mountians of sand

Left all to their own

To quietly stand

won't you help me now...

Take me to the bottom of...

Take me to the bottom of...the ocean

I got a thing for mermaiden tails

Swim naked with me

Your hair of seaweed

I got a thing for sunken shipwrecks

With booty of gold

I don't care if it's wet

won't you help me now...

Take me to the bottom of...

Take me to the bottom of...the ocean

I don't need no air.

Happy lyrics - Five For Fighting

Big Daddy's in the back seat taking to the Mammas

God don't the world smell good today

I'm bigger than a fruitcake

Smaller than your honor

A farmer for a daughter..HEY

Love Song lyrics - Five For Fighting

Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes.

Put away your bullshit.

Big Boys they don't cry to their mammas.

Put away your rain coat and make your bed.

White Picket Fence lyrics - Five For Fighting

I've cut off the curls

I shaved half my face

Became half the man you asked to replace.

I'm willing to save you

You said you're worth saving

But half of my appetite's lost half it's craving

Stand in the mirror

That's me beside you

The one with the smile, the one who abides you.

Don't mind the madman

The killer, the lover

He's slowly fading one into the other.

Where is that white picket fence

That I painted myself in the late days of April?

Where are the daffodil mountians?

I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.

You say that you're happy

Well you should know better

I see that you've sewn up that rip in your sweater

That some lover tore off you

That left you both shaking

That bled deep inside you the wound you'd forsaken

Where is that white picket fence

That I painted myself in the late days of April?

Where are the daffodil mountians?

I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.

Don't fear I will save you

Don't shout you'll awaken

The corpse in the desert staked out beside you

I cut off his wing

And shaved half his face

But I thought that I saw his eyes...move

2 Frogs lyrics - Five For Fighting

I sing above my vision. I sing above my face.

A fat old amphibian speaker for the dead.

Gather round ye animals. Gather round this lake.

Take upon your vigil. Wallow in the wake.

It was glorious of glories-a maple April day

With a pocket full of horseflies and eyes as bright as rays

They said walk away walk away if you can

but one leap out the village and our caravan began

Traveled to a forest, nestled in the sky.

He ran beside the buffalo-wrestled with the lions

Every day a saturday, a summer waking morn,

His skin burned golden ember due the shine that toad had born.

While riding back an eagle, laughing with the sun

He spied an old hairy fairy man upon the river Young.

and Sol said, fly away fly away if you can

But he settled next the oarsman, said I'm my own man and this is my life...

Heed above my meter, Heed above my fate. Can't go back again...

I got a reason to be fevered-summer waking morn.

Back back when the poor poor boy was born.

Now cross into his fortune. While enchanted by the queen.

A lone shady shelter stood beckoning his lean.

And in the time it takes a pillow to figure out a face.

Out from in the white tree she rose to take its place.

And the battle for his spirit then caused him to remain.

And he fought as a thousand Visigoths and he cursed the night in vain.

She said run away run away if you can

But last he heard a voice of...I'm my own man and this is my life...

Off to in her castle, laid upon the stairs

She showered him with daffodils and tied ribbons in his hair.

He woke for bare a moment but she wouldn't let him weep.

With lips of only roses kissed him down to sleep.

So royal loyal subjects now let your ears unbend.

For here ye this traveled tail must sadly meet it's end.

What's fate done to our hero I cannot reply...

The last that I saw him, a flection in her eye.

10 Miles From Nowhere lyrics - Five For Fighting

How have you been

in the shape you were in

I'm suprised that you got where you're going

Who would believe

What a date you would be

If I knew I'd have thought about knowing

And in between now and the last time we met

I'd open the door if I met you again

And I swear that we'd be better/fair ever friends

From here until 10 miles from nowhere

What is that there

In your brown paper box

I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost

I'd sworn it was you

Who was destined and gone

To the pressure of past undertakings

Had I had known that it might have been me

I might have returned a letter or three

Or gave you a call from the sanctuary

for the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee

From here until 10...

From now until 10...miles from nowhere

From every walk of life we've come to see the last great American

Pulls the lid on down and his stone is read

Here lies our Merry

The man with the heart so spent

That in this day in age

is sick of living

Still judges argue letters

And fabric comes undone

For every daughter...every son..of the last great American

(European B-Side) lyrics - Five For Fighting

Finally in the meantime since you paid for my room

I thought I'd write the European B-side or 2

See Mr. Merry's in the garden

Trying to tie his high top shoes

Johnny's off of daff-dill mountian

Praying for the news

and Oh what a piece I am

if you'd...be my friend

Thanks to all that you made me replace

For all you gave to me you left on my face

See Mr. Merry is the garden

Bella's taking ludes

Daddy's off without a pardon

But nothing left to lose

and Oh what a piece I am

Oh what a piece I am

If you'd...be my friend

if you

would you

be my friend

All I Know lyrics - Five For Fighting

(originally by Art Garfunkel)

(from "Chicken Little" soundtrack)

I bruise you

You bruise me

We both bruise so easily

Too easily

To let it show

I love you

And that's all I know

All my plans

Keep falling through

All my plans they

Depend on you

To help them grow

I love you

And that's all I know

When the singer's gone

Let the song go on

It's a fine line between

The darkness and the dawn

They say in the darkest night

There's a light beyond

And the ending always

Comes at last

Endings always

Come too fast

They come too fast and they

Pass too slow

I love you

And that's all

It's really all I know

It's all I know

It's all

I know

Amazing Grace (Live From Grace Notes) lyrics - Five For Fighting

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind but now I see

Was Grace that taught my heart to fear

And Grace, my fears relieved

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares

We have already come

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far

And Grace will lead us home

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see

Blood On My Hands lyrics - Five For Fighting

Got blood on my hands

And I don't understand

What's happening

There's blood on these hands

And still American's

Left to the Taliban

Now how's that happening?

Winkin' Blinken

Can't you look me in the eyes

Willy Milley

Tell me when did you decide

This we'll defend

Your sacred motto

Now means... never mind

Hands

Got blood on my hands

Flag of the Taliban

Over Afghanistan

General Austin is there no honor in shame?

Can you spell Bagram without the letters in blame?

Did Uncle Joe stick a drip in your veins?

Hands

I can't hear her scream if she's not, she's not

She's not on TV

I can't hear him scream if he's not, he's not

He's not on TV

To every Afghan ally that we left behind

Every child who won't know freedom

Faces covered and blind

As for this American promise

Now... shit in the Fire

Hands

Got blood on our hands

Hey Joe, just one American

Asking what's happening

Can One Man Save The World? lyrics - Five For Fighting

Who is this comedian?

His audience more mice than men

This superman Ukrainian

I don't know

Great-grandson of the Holocaust

An eastern heart the west has lost

Nail or carry up his cross

I don't know

But he's got everyone thinking

Yeah, he's got all of us thinking

Can one man save the world?

In a thousand years

Will they say your name

Or is this all in vain?

Can one man save the world?

Will you take my hand?

Will you help me stand?

Still in the end

Can one man save the world?

Olena pulls him to her breast

The bear, the devil, stabs their chest

Can one embrace raise the oppressed?

I don't know

Does freedom still have appetite?

Is there the will, the goods to fight?

Can a single flame light up the night?

I don't know

Yeah, but he's got you all thinking

'Cause everyone's thinking

Can one man save the world?

In a thousand years

Will they say your name

Or is this all in vain?

Can one man save the world?

Will you take my hand?

Will you help me stand?

Still in the end

Can one man save the world?

"Am I alone in this?" He says

Are we alone?

In a thousand years

Will they know your name?

Can one man save the world?

Will you take my hand?

Will you help me stand?

Still in the end

Can one man save the world?

Will you take my hand?

Raise up lesser men

In the end...

Who is this comedian?

This steel that is Ukrainian

We die, but maybe live again

Can one man save the world?

China On The Horizon lyrics - Five For Fighting

Take a sail on a big ship, head west till you stop

You'll find a razor in your brown paper cup

Her eyes are diamonds, and she smiles like a clown

She knows what you need before you turn around

China (China)

Is on the Horizon (China)

She will take you out, turn you inside, leave you flat on your back

She'll put your heart in high state of attack

She comes with roses, but she's nearly insane

Christmas Where You Are lyrics - Jim Brickman (feat. Five for Fighting)

There are stockings full and waiting

From sea to shining sea

Jingle bells a ringing

In keys of liberty

Children celebrating

Santa and his sleigh

Of reindeer who found their way again

Across the home, home of the brave

Tis the 25th day of December

In a season best to remember

That blessings and bows and mistletoes

Are not without tolls, guardian souls

A soldier has a soldier's duty

That takes no holiday

So because you're far from home this winter

There's one thing I'd like to say

Thank you for the gift of freedom

That lights these holy stars

Thank you for each and every Christmas tree

Across this sacred land of ours

May angels fly beside you

May Heaven steal your hearts

May God remind you in his grace

Though tonight I cannot touch your face

It doesn't matter if you're near or far

It's Christmas where you are

Your chair is empty at the table

Still I take your hand

As we pray for peace in this small world

On our knees we stand

Of this body of this nation

You are the heart and spine

So to each great generation

Of heroes down the line

Thank you for the gift of freedom

That lights these holy stars

Thank you for each and every Christmas tree

Across this sacred land of ours

May angels fly beside you

May Heaven steel your heart

May God remind you in his grace

Though tonight I cannot touch your face

It doesn't matter if you're near or far

It's Christmas where you are

Everyday is memorial day

Every day the 4th of July

Let all religions celebrate

The freedom that you provide

For if we stand together

We will never fall

Merry Christmas to the one I love

Merry Christmas to one and all

Thank you for the gift of freedom

That lights these holy stars

Thank you for each and every Christmas tree

Across this sacred land of ours

May angels fly beside you

May Heaven steel your heart

May God remind you in his grace

Though tonight I cannot touch your face

When home seems a hundred million miles away

Just close your eyes and you will see his sleigh

It's doesn't matter if you're near or far

It's Christmas where you are

Hello It's Me lyrics - Five For Fighting

Hello, it's me

I've thought about us for a long, long time

Maybe I think too much

But something's wrong

There's something here that doesn't last too long

Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you

Or seeing anything as much as I do you

I take for granted that you're always there

I take for granted that you just don't care

Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me

That you know you are free

'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me

You know that I'd be with you if I could

I'll come around to see you once in a while

Or if I ever need a reason to smile

And spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me

That you know you are free

'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me

You know that I'd be with you if I could

I'll come around to see you once in a while

Or if I ever need a reason to smile

And spend the night if you think I should

Spend the night if you think I should (It's important to me)

Spend the night if you think I should (Important to me)

Spend the night if you think I should

OK lyrics - Five For Fighting

We're gonna give you four words

We are not alright

When we see young girls

Pulled from their home

And dragged to the streets

When we see grandmothers

Being pulled away

And children shot in front of they family's

We are not all right

When right here

In the city of New York

You have those who celebrate

At the same time

When the devastation is taking place

This is a time for choosing

This is a time to mourn

The moral man is losing

Forbidden, lost for long

I don't understand

How you can look yourself

In the mirror

I don't understand

How did that blood flood your eyes

We, we are, we are not

Ok (he-ehe, he-hei, ei)

Yeah, hide behind your babies

Yeah, hide behind your kid

The Harvard hands has rabies

They'd hold acost again

I don't understand

I don't understand (I don't understand)

How you can look yourself in the mirror

I don't understand

I don't understand (I don't understand)

How did that blood spill from your eyes

We, we are, we are not

Ok (he-ehe, he-hei, ei)

Evils on the march

Time to face the test (he-hei)

Evils on the march

Need every good woman

Every good man

We, we are, we are not

Ok, ok, ok, ok (we, we are, we are not)

Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok

Ok!

Song For The Innocents lyrics - Five For Fighting

Who is that calling out

Who's that crying

Do you wonder

Where do the guiltless go

Do angels know

Mother - Father

I have no gun

Sweet Guardian

Where should I go?

We are the Innocents

The righteous

Unimpeachable

We are the Innocents

We are you

Who is that watching out

Who's the hero

Do you wonder

Where do the guilty go

Do devils know

Mother - Father

I have no gun

Sweet Guardian

Where should I go

Tell me you know

We are the Innocents

The righteous

Unimpeachable

We are the Innocents

And we are you

We are the Innocents

The righteous

Unimpeachable

We are the Innocents

We are

We are…

All For One lyrics - Five For Fighting

[from "Hawaii Five-0" soundtrack]

Blood on the ground,
Sun turning red.
Head over heels,
Over our heads.

Trouble will rise,
And tears will be shed.
Wherever we go,
Whatever comes next.

We'll always-
We'll always be-
One for all,
And all for one.

Bridges we've crossed,
Battles we've had.
Love we have lost,
Dreams we have shared.

We'll always-
We'll always be-
One for all,
And all for one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
All for one.

My brother, myself,
My saviour, my friend.
The fire we are,
The fire will end.
If I should fall-
Or you don't make it back-
Together we'll rise,
Together we'll stand.

We'll always-
We'll always be-
One for all,
And all for one.
We'll always-
We'll always be-
One for all,
And all for one.
One for all,
And all for one.
All for one.
