Alter Bridge - In Loving Memory

 

Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I'm glad He sets you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you'll be here with me still

All you did you did with feeling
And you always found a meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me 

 

Alter Bridge - Before Tomorrow Comes

 

I couldn't sleep, I had to listen
To a conscience, knowing so well
That nothing comes from indifference
I look inside of myself

Will I find some kind of conviction?
Or will I bid the hero farewell?
Or will I be defined by things that could've been?
I guess time will only tell
I guess time will only tell

So don't let it be
Before tomorrow comes
Before you turn away
Take the hand in need
Before tomorrow comes
You can change everything

I curse my worth and every comfort
That blinded me for way too long
Damn it all, I'll make a difference from now on
Cause I'm wide awake to it all
Cause I'm wide awake to it all

So don't let it be
Before tomorrow comes
Before you turn away
Take the hand in need
Before tomorrow comes
You can change everything

Does anyone care
It ain't right, what we're doing
Does anyone care
It ain't right, where we're going
Does anyone dare
Justify how we're living
Does anyone here care at all?

So don't let it be
Before tomorrow comes
Before you turn away
Take the hand in need
Before tomorrow comes
You can change everything

We could be so much more than we are
We could be so much more than we are
We could be so much more than we are
Oh this much I know

 

Alter Bridge - Watch Over You

 

Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love

I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

And who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?

You say you cared for me
But hide it well
How can you love
Someone not yourself

And who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who'll watch over you
When I'm gone?

And when I'm gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?

I can't go on
And let you lose it all
It's more than I can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain

Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
Who'll watch over you?
Who will give you strength when you're not strong
Who'll watch over you when I've gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winter's come
You long to hear my voice
But I'm long gone 

 

Alter Bridge - Broken Wings

 

Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls

Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone?

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love

Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too?

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long

Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all I'll be

Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And all I'll be

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
And I'll search for so long 

 

Alter Bridge - Open Your Eyes

 

Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can't believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

It's hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one?
(It's hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go)
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one?
(Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done)
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one? 

 

Alter Bridge - Rise Today

 

The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight
Have we lost our hope to sorrow
Feels like we're all alone
Running further from what's right
And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming
Where did we go wrong

Yeah, oh yeah
I wanna rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
Oh, won't you rise today
And change this world

The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running
Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we're left with nothing

For every life that's taken
So much love is wasted

Yeah, oh yeah
I wanna rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
So won't you rise today
And change

This world
Only love can set it right
This world
If only peace would never die
It seems to me that we've got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along

Yeah, oh yeah
I wanna rise today
And change this world
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh won't you rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
I wanna rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
I wanna rise today
And change this world
