This Is How A Heart Breaks

Superman (It's Not Easy)

100 Years

[Verse 1]
Jesus stood in the synagogue that day,
The Pharisees watched, looking for a way.
He healed the hand, defying their plan,
Showing His power, the works of the Son of Man!

[Pre-Chorus]
Courage to do what the Spirit commands,
Faith in His power, the world in His hands!
Mercy over rules, love over pride,
The Savior’s authority cannot be denied!

[Chorus]
Guided by the Spirit, we follow His call!
Faith in His power, He conquers all!
Step out in courage, obey His Word,
The miracles of Jesus are seen and heard!
Guided by the Spirit, prayer lights the way,
He chooses the faithful to serve today!
Power and wisdom from heaven above,
Led by His Spirit, walking in love!

[Verse 2]
All night in prayer, before the break of dawn,
Jesus sought the Father, His Spirit drawn.
Twelve He chose, for the Kingdom’s plan,
To spread His glory across every land!

[Pre-Chorus]
Courage to do what the Spirit commands,
Faith in His power, the world in His hands!
Mercy over rules, love over pride,
The Savior’s authority cannot be denied!

[Chorus]
Guided by the Spirit, we follow His call!
Faith in His power, He conquers all!
Step out in courage, obey His Word,
The miracles of Jesus are seen and heard!
Guided by the Spirit, prayer lights the way,
He chooses the faithful to serve today!
Power and wisdom from heaven above,
Led by His Spirit, walking in love!

[Bridge]
Hallelujah! Faith and courage rise!
Led by the Spirit, our eyes open wide!
Prayer and obedience, the path we take,
In Jesus’ Name, the chains will break!

[Breakdown]
Leader: “Guided by the Spirit!”
Choir: “We follow His call!”
Leader: “Step out in faith!”
Choir: “We obey!”
Leader: “Miracles today!”
Choir: “Glory to God!”
ALL: Jesus reigns forevermore!

[Final Chorus]
Guided by the Spirit, we follow His call!
Faith in His power, He conquers all!
Step out in courage, obey His Word,
The miracles of Jesus are seen and heard!
Guided by the Spirit, prayer lights the way,
He chooses the faithful to serve today!
Power and wisdom from heaven above,
Led by His Spirit, walking in love!

[Outro]
Guided by the Spirit… (Guided by the Spirit!)
Faith in His Word… (Faith in His Word!)
Jesus reigns forevermore!

Barenaked Ladies - Odds Are

Never has the phrase “he shoots, he scores” been more applicable than when mentioning rabid hockey fan and chart-topping singer/songwriter John Ondrasik. The Los Angeles native, who goes by Five for Fighting (a five-minute penalty for on-the-ice fist-a-cuffs), burst on the scene some 15 years ago with his Grammy Award-nominated hit “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” and has been a mainstay on mainstream radio ever since. While he doesn’t wear tights and fight crime as his breakthrough track “Superman” suggests, his songs could bring any maniacal villain to their knees (and tears) with his poignantly sharp songs that cut deeper than a Ginsu knife.

Ondrasik signed his first deal in 1997 with "Message For Albert,” but it was his follow-up “American Town” that really took flight for Fighting.  The aforementioned “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” went Platinum (as did the album), was #1 on Adult Top 40, #2 on Hot AC, and in the Top 40 Top 10.  The song actually hit the airwaves, and reached #1 the same week his daughter Olivia was born. Not too shabby as Adam Sandler once said. Adding more fuel to the emotional fire, the mega-hit served as sort of an unofficial anthem following the 9.11 attacks on American soil. Naturally, he performed it at The Concert For New York City.

In his career, Ondrasik has sold over 2.5 million albums including 2004's “Battle for Everything,” which spawned the 2X platinum “100 Years,” which continues to melt hearts, provide all ages with an instant case of nostalgia.  Other hits have included “The Riddle,” "World," "Chances" and "What If." His music has been featured in 350 films, TV shows and advertisements ranging from the The Blind Side to Hawaii Five-O. He has also written tunes for everyone from Josh Groban to The Backstreet Boys. 

When not writing killer tunes, Ondrasik is putting pen to paper for his other passion: sports. The avid Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings fan has been a sports commentator for SI.com,  the Kings, and a guest on everything from Jim Rome to ESPN SportsCenter, the latter of which he became the first “band” to appear and perform.
“I recognize the immature shallowness of the adult sports fan obsession, but I've always had it. Lakers as a kid, UCLA, Kings etc...Many folks use music as their escape, I imagine sports as mine. Writing is a kick as I've always had a fantasy to be a sports reporter/writer,” he says gleefully.

As he explores the possibility of a Broadway show featuring his tunes, he’s currently on the road (not literally) performing songs as a quartet (Five for Fighting literally) and with symphonies around the country.  "The symphony and quartet shows have been fantastic,” he said. “I've had the honor of working with some world class arrangers in my career.  To present the more ambitious songs, as well as the popular tunes, in this format has refueled my passion for performing.”

...And making new music. Ondrasik's "What If" hit the Hot AC charts and was chosen by Richard Branson (sorry, Sir Richard Branson) as the soundtrack for his non-profit Virgin Unite.  And his most recent song "All for One" was penned for the 100th episode of Hawaii Five-O.  Ondrasik is currently working on the follow-up to his sixth album, Bookmarks.

Looking ahead while looking back, the one-man Fighting army, said, “I have been blessed to have loving and supportive parents, an amazing wife and partner, and two great kids. Family is crucial to any career, keeps the ups and downs, down and up.”
