Two worlds collide, rival nations
It's a primitive clash, venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope against all hope, there is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it a East vs. West, or man against man
Can any nation stand alone?
In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire, in the burning heart
In the warrior's code, there's no surrender
Though his body says stop, his spirit cries never
Deep in our soul a quiet ember
Knows it's you against you
It's the paradox that drives us on
It's a battle of wills, in the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone
In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire
In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire
In the burning heart, just about to burst
There's a quest for answers, an unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night, rising like a spire
In the burning heart, the unmistakable fire
In the burning heart

Hearts On Fire
by John Cafferty
Silent darkness creeps into your soul
And removes the light of self-control
The cave that holds you captive has no doors
Burnin' with determination
To even up the score
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
The moment of truth draws near
Time will not allow you to stand still, no
Silence breaks the heart and bends the will
And things that give deep passions are your sword
Rules and regulations have no meaning anymore
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
The moment of truth is here
Is here
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
And removes the light of self-control
The cave that holds you captive has no doors
Burnin' with determination
To even up the score
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
The moment of truth draws near
Time will not allow you to stand still, no
Silence breaks the heart and bends the will
And things that give deep passions are your sword
Rules and regulations have no meaning anymore
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
The moment of truth is here
Is here
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within
Hearts on fire
Fever's rising high
Hearts on fire
Strong desire
Rages deep within

Double or Nothing
by Kenny Loggins
[ Featuring Gladys Knight ]
Double or nothing, you've gotta have a partner
Or your heart'll never come of age
Taking and giving, it's time we started living
Love will get us through the awkward stage
Let your heart run free
Let it run to me, yeah
We were meant to be, darling, stay with me
You stepped out of the night full of lonely
We stepped into a world full of light
You said I was your one and your only
We made love for a lifetime tonight
Double or nothing, you've gotta have a lover
Or you're gonna throw your life away
Fact is a fact, is your heart's gotta practise
And you've gotta use it every day
Lay it on the line
Oh, lay it next to mine, yeah
Darling, we'll do fine
If you're gonna stay with me, stay with me
You stepped out of the night full of lonely
We stepped into a world full of light
You said I was your one and your only
We made love for a lifetime tonight
You stepped out of the night full of lonely
We stepped into a world full of light
(taking and giving, tonight we started living)
You said I was your one and your only
(no sign of dancing, it's you and me romancing)
We made love for a lifetime tonight (double or nothing)
You stepped out of the night full of lonely
(i'll stay with you forever)
We stepped into a world full of light
(fact is a fact, you need a lot of practise, I know)
You said I was your one and your only
(there will never be another)
We made love for a lifetime tonight

Eye of the Tiger
by Survivor
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Living In America
by James Brown
Caroline laughs, and it's raining all day
Loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight
She turns herself 'round
And she smiles and she says
"This is it, that's the end of the joke"
And loses herself in her
Dreaming and sleep, and her
Lovers walk through in their coats
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
All of her lovers all
Talk of her notes and the
Flowers that they never sent
And wasn't she easy, and
Isn't she pretty in pink?
The one who insists he was the
First in the line is the
Last to remember her name
He's walking around in this
Dress that she wore
She is gone, but the
Joke's the same
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes, she says,
"I love you" and "Too much"
She doesn't have anything
You want to steal
Well, nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She give you her clothes
These cars collide
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight
She turns herself 'round
And she smiles and she says
"This is it, that's the end of the joke"
And loses herself in her
Dreaming and sleep, and her
Lovers walk through in their coats
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
All of her lovers all
Talk of her notes and the
Flowers that they never sent
And wasn't she easy, and
Isn't she pretty in pink?
The one who insists he was the
First in the line is the
Last to remember her name
He's walking around in this
Dress that she wore
She is gone, but the
Joke's the same
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes, she says,
"I love you" and "Too much"
She doesn't have anything
You want to steal
Well, nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt

These cars collide
Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?

No Easy Way Out
by Robert Tepper
We're not indestructible,
Baby better get that straight
I think it's unbelievable
How you give into the hands of fate
Some things are worth fighting for some
Feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance
I just want to know why
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong
I don't want to pasify you
I don't want to drag you down
But I'm feelin like a prisoner
Like a stranger in a no named town
I see all the angry faces
Afraid that could be you and me
Talkin about what might have been
I'm thinkin about what I used to be
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
Ther's no easy way out givin' in can't be wrong
Baby,baby we can shed this skin
We can know how we feel inside
Instead of goin' down and endless road
Not knowin if we're dead or alive
Some things are worth fightin for
Some feelings never die
I'm not askin for another chance
I just want to know why
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out givin in givin in can't be wrong no
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy no easy no easy way out
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out givin in givin in can't be wrong no
There's no easy way out there's no shortcut home
There's no easy no easy no easy way out

Spend you whole life waiting for a sing
You make your move to late
And love got left behind
Truth is all that you don't want to see
I may, falling take advantage of me
Take it from me!!!
--(Solo Saxophone)---
I don't care who is right or who is wrong
One day aloneness is day too long
You... only may wanna stay
Sometimes around a heart is harder to brake
Harder to brake!!

The Sweetest Victory
by Touch
Deepest cut that can be healed
By the gun, or by the sword:,
It's hope that you can turn yourself
Outside at the end of the war
The cold sweat sticks, to your heart.
Your mouth gets drier and drier.
The battle inside rages on.
Your pulse races higher and higher.
Sweetest victory, I love you more than life itself.
Sweetest victory, you give me strength to know myself.
Oh, sweet victory, my soul is yours and the glory is mine.
Sweetest victory, the far-off stars will always shine.
The tooth like nails rip me up.
I can make it disappear.
Time to forget has passed me by.
There's no place to hide my fear.
Hate and pain filled me up.
Every minute takes longer and longer.
I bead of sweat 'cause drops of blood
Makes me stronger and stronger.
Sweetest victory, I love you more than life itself.
Sweetest victory, you give me strength to know myself.
Oh, sweet victory, my soul is yours and the glory is mine.
Sweetest victory, the far-off stars will always shine.
By the gun, or by the sword:,
It's hope that you can turn yourself
Outside at the end of the war
The cold sweat sticks, to your heart.
Your mouth gets drier and drier.
The battle inside rages on.
Your pulse races higher and higher.
Sweetest victory, I love you more than life itself.
Sweetest victory, you give me strength to know myself.
Oh, sweet victory, my soul is yours and the glory is mine.
Sweetest victory, the far-off stars will always shine.
The tooth like nails rip me up.
I can make it disappear.
Time to forget has passed me by.
There's no place to hide my fear.
Hate and pain filled me up.
Every minute takes longer and longer.
I bead of sweat 'cause drops of blood
Makes me stronger and stronger.
Sweetest victory, I love you more than life itself.
Sweetest victory, you give me strength to know myself.
Oh, sweet victory, my soul is yours and the glory is mine.
Sweetest victory, the far-off stars will always shine.

Man Against The World
by Survivor
Have you ever walked alone at night
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And your heart can't find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer 'til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then they'll drag you through the mud
You're only flesh and blood
Now I've walked the path from dark to light
And they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
I'm only a man against the world
But love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answer's clearer
Someday when I even the score
You'll reach and you'll find me near you
Right beside you, forevermore
But for now I'll walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And your heart can't find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer 'til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then they'll drag you through the mud
You're only flesh and blood
Now I've walked the path from dark to light
And they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
I'm only a man against the world
But love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answer's clearer
Someday when I even the score
You'll reach and you'll find me near you
Right beside you, forevermore
But for now I'll walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world
