Lyrics: Force of Nature
“Between the Storms”
Verse 1:
The sky turns gray and the wind starts to howl
The ground shakes hard and knocks you down
Lightning strikes and thunder roars
Get inside and lock all the doors
The storm is here without a doubt
So hide yourselves and wait it out
Pre-Chorus:
Battling through the storms is the hardest part by far
So if you make it through it’ll show how strong you are
Chorus:
Between the storms, the sun comes out to shine
Life gets easier when there ain’t a cloud in the sky
Between the storms, life is worthwhile
Joy comes easily when you’re not afraid to smile
Verse 2:
Waves storm the shore and they don’t retreat
Heavy rain falls and floods the streets
Trees burn up with the wild fire
Nature destroys what it desires
The storm is here without a doubt
So hide yourselves and tough it out
(PC)
(C)
Bridge:
Every storm dies out and nature rights the wrongs
So live it up before the next storm comes along

"Crossin the River"
V1:
It's been a long, long time since the waves were calm
The steady rain just keeps falling down
The rain drops tick like a time bomb
The sun don't shine behind the clouds
PC:
I can tell that the air is cleaner
I can see that the grass is greener
On the other side
C:
I'm crossin', crossin' the river
And you know I'll reach the other side
And I'll get there without a shiver
And I will not, will not be denied
And I'm crossin', crossin' the river
V2:
I'm trying to paddle, but the current's so strong
The wind is blowing, but I'll try with all my might
To find a place where I belong
Fate is uncertain, but I hope that it's alright
(PC)
B:
I know that I just got here, and there's a smile on my face
The skies are so blue and clear in this foreign place

"Sarah"
V1:
That stunning smile clouds my mind
Those soft, blue eyes changed my life
Nothing has ever been the same
Just one look changed the game
C:
My sweet Sarah
You are my world, I must confess
My sweet Sarah
You are my girl, my beautiful princess
V2:
When you talk to me, I feel at home
You have a laugh that can heal a soul
Without you the world feels so dim
The room lights up when you walk in
B:
You make the world a better place
Living life with that smile on your face
You've been my angel from the start
You're more than just a girl, you're my sweetheart

"Backfire"
V1:
You kept me around just to toss me out
You fought for us just to give us up
I gave you my love and you gave me a shove
I fell for you just to fall right through
C:
You took me for granted as you got higher
All the second chances, damn did they backfire
V2:
You ran away and left me behind
I know you're gone, but you're still on my mind
The mistakes you made and the things you hid
I can never forget and I'll never forgive
(C)
B:
I thought you'd hurt me less if I loved you more
I thought I could remind you of what we had before
I thought I'd feel better if I told you how I ache
But the guilt I shouldn't feel keeps me wide awake
V3:
It's not fair how you broke my heart
'Cause every time that you went wrong
It broke me down and you tore me apart
And now I bleed 'cause I'm not that strong

“Always in the Spotlight”
V1:
I want to be normal, I’m just a regular guy
It’s not my fault, I’m just a musician that’s all
Just see me for who I really am
What’s the difference? It’s nothing new
PC:
Being chased by girls
Media in my face
Everything is free
Always in the spotlight
V2:
I want to be known as who I, who I really am
Around my house, when I’m with my friends
I’m not a star, I’m a musician
I’m not the guy I am on stage
(PC)
C:
Throwin’ money around, cuttin’ right in line
Gettin’ whatever I want
Livin’ in a mansion, every person’s dream
Right? No you’re damn wrong
B:
Fame isn’t what it seems
And all you gotta do
Is follow your dreams
And you will win it all
(C)

"Under the Willow Tree"
V1:
I met a girl, we fell in love
When our paths crossed, under the willow tree
We found a home, there in the shade
Just us alone, under the willow tree
C1:
Under the willow tree
She stole my heart straight from my chest
And our paradise lived in that nest
I found my Eden and then I was free
Under the willow tree
V2:
One rainy day her visits stopped
My life turned gray, under the willow tree
It drove me crazy that I'd never know why
She wasn't with me, under the willow tree
C2:
Under the willow tree
She stole my heart straight from my chest
I was left guessing in our old nest
I lost my dreams of all that we could be
Under the willow tree
B:
I climbed to the strongest branch of the great willow tree
Now this is where I'll hang waiting for thee
C3:
Under the willow tree
She stole my heart straight from my chest
My hollow heart broke in that nest
I lost my hopes of all that love could be
Under the willow tree

"Should've Kept My Distance"
V1:
You were something fun and new
And I had never felt that way
I just couldn't help myself
You just looked so good that day
I didn't stop to think
What it would do to me
If you put out our flame
With your loveless rain
PC:
I should've known from the start
That you would break my heart
C:
I should've kept my distance
Just take a look around, a nice, long look around
You turned my whole world upside down
I should've kept my distance
V2:
My mind is all screwed up
It's too late to save meself
'Cause I got too close
I just couldn't let you go
I only saw the good in you
Even when you crippled me
It was like I was half blind
Never thought you'd leave me behind
(PC)
(C)
B:
Deep down I knew that you would hurt me
With all you put through it should've been easy to see
But part of me doesn't want to see this end
There's scars on my heart and they still need to mend
(PC)

“Howl”
V1:
I’ve always been the lone wolf, I never quite fit in
So when my pack left me, nothing had really changed
I’ve always been on my own, crying to the moon at night
But even the moon turns its back on me
It’s the one thing that always comes back
Giving me the strength to fight
PC:
I roam alone with my heart of stone leading the way
I’m on the prowl and one day I’ll howl, once I have my prey
C:
I’ve been deserted, but I don’t give a damn
As long as the full moon keeps coming back
I’m gonna howl like the lone wolf I am
With the moon shining down, who needs a pack?
V2:
I’ve always been the outcast, I’ve never felt at home
I don’t know where I belong in this crazy world
I know I’m better off not counting on anyone
I can fend for myself, ‘cause that’s how it’s always been
But when the world lets me down, I know how to let it out
(PC)
B:
I used to howl to let out my cries
And now I howl to show that I’ll survive
(C)
Last C:
I’ve been deserted, but I don’t give a damn
With the moon shining down, who needs a pack?
I’m gonna howl like the lone wolf I am
As long as the full moon keeps coming back

“Cautious Hearts”
Love often dies and pain survives
Deep lovers cry while false lovers thrive
Bare naked hearts are easier to break
But well armored hearts are impossible to take
New love is shunned ‘cause old love has hurt
Loneliness evolves from the pain we avert
Our cautious hearts are afraid to love again
Our fragile souls always lose in the end

“It’s Too Late”
V1:
How could I say goodbye to a love like yours?
You only wanted was best for me
How could I pick anyone but you?
You loved me more than I could see
PC:
I know now I had the one
Oh my God, what have I done now?
C:
I threw it all away
And now it’s too late
For me to say, I’m sorry
V2:
What did I do all those years ago?
I remember your love so real
What was going on inside my head?
I miss how you made me feel
(PC)
(C)
B:
Until now, I couldn’t see
You could’ve been the one for me
Until now, I couldn’t see
Just how deep your wounds would be
(PC)

“Hold On Baby”
C:
Hold on baby ‘cause this too shall pass
When we meet again, the pain will drain so fast
Pre/Post Chorus:
But in the meantime
V1:
Take a deep breath and close your eyes
Remember that I’m here and let your spirits rise
It’ll be ok, we’ll be together soon
If you hold on, I’ll take you to the moon
(PC)
(C)
V2:
Life can be unfair, and things can go so wrong
When you’re knocked down, you just stay strong
I’ll help you up as soon as I can
‘Cause whatever you need, baby I’m your man
(PC)
(C)
B:
I’ll be by your side, yeah I’ll be there
I’ll be your shoulder, this I swear
(C)
