Lyrics:
It can be hard to believe in miracles 
Hard to trust in things that are a mystery 
To forget that there is magic in the world
That there is more than just what we can touch and see
 
When you came around I heard the sound of angels singing 
 
Now for the very first time I believe I can fly 
Head to toe I'm electrified
I can feel it 
I believe it 
I am seeing 
Something supernatural 
Every time I look in your eyes 
I understand that God is alive
I can feel 
I believe it 
I am seeing yeah 
Something supernatural 
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
 
It can be hard to remember who we are 
That we are beautiful
That we are holy things 
That the pen that the wrote the moon and sun and stars
Wrote a symphony inside of you and me 
 
So when you come around I hear the sound of angels singing 
 
Now for the very first time I believe I can fly 
Head to toe I'm electrified
I can feel it 
I believe it 
I am seeing 
Something supernatural 
Every time I look in your eyes 
For I understand that God is alive
I can feel 
I believe it 
I am seeing yeah 
Something supernatural 
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
Something supernatural 
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
 
Yeah yeah oh yeah 
Every time that I look in your eyes 
I understand that God is alive
I believe it 
I can feel it 
I can see it 
Oh something supernatural 
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
Oh something supernatural 
I feel I feel I feel something supernatural 
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
Supernatural, supernatural, supernatural
 
I feel something supernatural

Lyrics:
Do you ever get scared
Do you ever get sad 
Did you forget the childhood dreams that you had 
Hoped it’d be better but things turned out bad and all went wrong

You don’t have to climb mountains or walk on the moon 
To fill up your heart like a great big balloon 
If you can't sleep at night just remember this tune 
and sing along 

Dream on 
Dream on 
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on 
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on 

When I was younger I played make believe
Now when I close my eyes I just fall asleep 
If you live long enough life will make you believe that they're gone 

Dream on 
Dream on 
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on 
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on 

Dream on 
Dream on 
To infinity and far beyond
Maybe they’ll take you fabulous places 
Maybe you’ll wake up right where you belong

Dream on 
Dream on 
Even when you’re afraid all your dreams may be gone
Just dream on 
Dream on
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong   
When the world says you’re crazy just tell them they’re wrong and dream on

Dream On

Lyrics: 

I was staring at a photograph 
Must have been fifteen years back 
Can’t believe we dressed like that
Feels like yesterday 
 
Funny how we used to all pretend
We'd never become our parent’s friends
But seasons change and summer ends
It just fades away
 
Yeah you can’t stay young forever
You can’t keep from growing up 
But when your heart gets tired of living on the run 
My God you should find you some 
Steady love 
Steady love 
By God you should find you some 
 
It’s as old ancient history 
People quit being young and keep trying to be 
None of that makes sense to me the way it did back then 
 
Cause everybody's chasing endless nights 
Open roads and neon light
Yeah you could walk a million miles
But it's footsteps in the sand 
 
Cause you can’t stay young forever yeah
You can’t keep from growing up 
But when your heart gets tired of living on the run 
My God you should find you some yeah
Steady love 
Steady love 
By God you should you find you some 
Steady love 
Steady love 
By God you should you find you some 
 
Might not always be wild and free 
But more and more that’s alright with me 
Truth is we were made to be in steady love 
Steady love 
By God you should find you some
 
Some steady love 
Oh oh oh 
Steady love 
Oh oh oh oh 
 
My God you should find you some
(Steady love) 
(Steady love) 
(By God you should find you some)
(Steady love) 
(Steady love) 
(By God you should find you some)
(Steady love) 
(Steady love) 
(By God you should find you some)

Lyrics:

I spoke to myself last night in a dream
I was about twenty-one
It was the craziest thing
And I went to a party with all of my friends
And it brought tears to my eyes
To see us together again
 
And I tried to tell them the way that things change
They wouldn’t listen to me
They all started walking away
So I sung them a song of the beauty of youth
And I brought the rhythmic back in and I told them the truth
 
I couldn’t tell you where this road will lead
If it winds or how it ends
But this is as alive as we will ever be
Cause we will never be this young again
 
So
 
Here’s to livin’ while we’re alive
Don’t slow down, don’t close your eyes
Just raise your glass and breathe it in
Cause we will never be this young again
 
(Oh yeah yeah)
(Never be this young again)
 
I woke up in my room and I shot out of bed
And there was a vision of me at 75 in my head
He smiled and said, “Boy you’re still in your youth” 
Then he sat down and played me this song
Same as I’m singin’ to you
 
I couldn’t tell you where this road will lead
If it winds or how it ends
But this is alive as we will ever be
We will never be this young again
 
So
 
Here’s to livin’ while we’re alive
Don’t slow down, don’t close your eyes
Just raise your glass and breathe it in
Cause we will never be this young again
 
Ride the night like a roller coaster
Like the nights back in Oklahoma
Just a sip of the sweet cherry cola
To the stars
Supernova
This is young as we’ll ever be
So let’s be young and free
Come make a memory
 
Oh yeah
 
I say everybody gather round
We’re goin’ out tonight
Gonna paint the town
And if we get too deep
We can reel it in
Because we will never be this young again
 
We will never be, never be this young again
 
(Never be, never be, never be this young again)

We Will Never Be This Young Again

Lyrics:

Feels like everyone I know is suddenly a TV show 
Living in some gossip magazine 
Lately I’ve tried but I can’t find it in my heart to chase those lights 
Does that mean something’s wrong with me? 
 
Cause I’ve been kinda hanging out 
Living some life you don't write songs about 
Yeah took a break from moving mountains  
Yeah I’m finally slowing down some 
No moving, no shaking 
Been fine with just hanging out 
 
Lately I’ve been going for runs 
And watching my daughter eat her lunch
Listening through the Beatles catalogue 
What does it mean to catch your dreams if you can’t sit alone 
And think without your thoughts all going wrong 
 
So I’ve been kinda hanging out 
Living some life you don’t write songs about 
Like you remember in that story how 
Jules Verne went 20K leagues down
That’s how low I’ve been laying 
Just kinda been hanging out 
I've been kinda hanging out 
Just been kinda
Just been kinda hanging out 
Oooh I’ve been kinda hanging out 
 
I just realized I’ve spent my whole life
Thinking I was nothing if I wasn’t doing everything just right
For the first time since I’ve been a kid 
When I close my eyes
I can sleep at night 
 
I’ve been kinda hanging out 
Got new ideas about the good life now 
Yeah took a break from moving mountains
Yeah I’m finally slowing down some 
No moving no shaking 
Just kinda been hanging 
No moving no shaking 
Been fine with just hanging out

Thanks for the sunrise
Thanks for the night sky
Thanks for the deepest blue
In my daughter's eyes
And thanks for the weekend
Thanks for a good friend

Lyrics:

One, two
Yup
 
When it’s the end of the weekend
But not quite the end of the weekend
Check it out
It is what it is
You got me feelin’
 
You make me feel like I’m in all my best clothes
So good that I don’t care that Chick-Fil-A’s closed
Like a slow motion cruise on the backroads and byways
Windows down and avoidin’ the highways
 
Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all day and waste it with you
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
And maybe we should make some breakfast
We got lots of time that seems like a good investment
It’s the end of the week and I make a mean quiche
Maybe all of our friends should come over to eat
 
Nothin’ else that I wanna do
But take all of my time and waste it with you
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend
You give me somethin’ to believe in
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Sky is baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
 
You got me feelin’ like Chick-Fil-A was open on a Sunday
(Snoop, I know, we tried, it was closed, wouldn’t that be great)
Check it out
This a hit
You can tell radio
All the DJs will play it
Cause we got that hustle, that flow
I’m feelin’ good
Feelin’ fresh
Feelin’ blessed
Little stressed
 
And when I’m with you I feel that joy inside my chest
 
What you feel
Just depends on what you see
But just don’t take it from me
I’m just the D O double G
 
You got me feelin’ like a Sunday (Ohh)
You got me sayin’ hallelujah, singin’ praise (singing praise)
You got me feelin’ like the night is gone
And the sun is here to stay
 
Wo-ooh
 
You got me feelin’ like the weekend (got me feelin’ like the weekend)
You give me somethin’ to believe in (give me somethin’ to believe in)
When I’m swimmin’ in the deep end
Skies are baby blue, and my blues are gone away
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
Sunday
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday
 
Skies are blue and the clouds have gone away
 
You got me feelin’ like it’s Sunday

Lyrics:

I miss when I had superpowers
My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free
I could waste a couple hours
Without a worry in the world staring at stars out on my trampoline, yeah 
 
I miss when Andy McAuthur was the fastest kid there was and kid there was ever gonna be 
Ken Griffey Jr. was a giant before parents got divorced and I learned that there was gravity 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
 
I miss my Bible study leader
Had all the answers for living in the big bad world 
Don’t know if he still talks to Jesus 
But his wife's remarried now and I think he sells garage doors  
 
I miss when I thought chasing dreams was 
Holy magic behind curtains in a sacred place
Before it was managers and lawyers 
Who colored up and cashed them out 
For vacation homes in coastal states 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah 
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
I miss my old heroes
 
I miss my old heroes
 
I miss back when the world was small and we had all the answers
I miss how it was when we were young 
I miss back before I understood all the ways that life would break your heart 
Before I knew that's what they called growing up 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah 
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not just getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
I miss my old heroes 
I miss my old heroes

Lyrics:
I’ve seen the northern lights  
The British countryside 
Every single southern college town 
Sat with important men  
And felt like one of them 
Stood at Cypress in between the clouds 
Thought I'd seen all there is to see 

Spent all this time chasing my dreams 
But none of them came true till you were here with me  
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things  
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me  
It’s a wonderful world  
It’s a wonderful world  

I’ve taken medicine 
I bought an ottoman  
I got a bigger house with bigger trees  
I'm getting better at not blaming mom and dad
I'm trying to figure out what it all means  
I thought that I'd done all the right things  

I spent all this time building a dream  
But none of it came true till you were here with me  
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things 
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me  
It's a wonderful world   
It's a wonderful world   
It's a wonderful world   
It's a wonderful world   

I spent all this time chasing a dream  
But none of it was true until you were here with me 
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things 
I'd trade them all away to have you here with me  

I'd trade them all away to have you here with me

Hanging Out (feat. Kenny G)
