Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers "Baby it's okay, someday"
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got

All your marsupial annotations
That you carry around may ring
Through their ears
But to us make no sound.
We never asked you to squat
On our intricacies of employment,
But honestly the harder you
Squeeze facilitates the enjoyment
Oh just look at all the pretty boggling array
Of punctuations marks at our disposal slashes.
Dashes and dots of various sorts.
Might even meet our proposal.
Hot flashes,
And rashes I'm feeling
Particularly pretentious;
Your vasomotor disturbances
Only rev up our engines.
Dialogue all the shit you want!
But make sure to use the biggest font!
The louder you speak the mare they mention.
Bold or undefined this will get your attention!
That you carry around may ring
Through their ears
But to us make no sound.
We never asked you to squat
On our intricacies of employment,
But honestly the harder you
Squeeze facilitates the enjoyment
Oh just look at all the pretty boggling array
Of punctuations marks at our disposal slashes.
Dashes and dots of various sorts.
Might even meet our proposal.
Hot flashes,
And rashes I'm feeling
Particularly pretentious;
Your vasomotor disturbances
Only rev up our engines.
Dialogue all the shit you want!
But make sure to use the biggest font!
The louder you speak the mare they mention.
Bold or undefined this will get your attention!
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe
You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa
When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
Wondering why he's the man with the gun in his hand
Brother of mine please don't take this choice
Drop the gun and follow my voice
Ohh
Ohh
Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
Is it not enough to just have me whoa
He's standing alone with the gun in his hand
Why am I the man, why am I the man
Brother of mine take this away I'm sick of this life of pain
Ohh
Ohh
Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
Is it not enough to just have me whoa
Is it just enough for you to be, I'm trying
To be the first thing that you need please don't pull the
He's dead on the floor with his gun in his hand
Why was he the man, why was he the man
Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
It's not enough to be just me whoa
Is it just enough for you to breathe, I'm begging
Is it not enough to just have me whoa
Is it just enough for you to be, I'm trying
And where I go you will follow
(come on)
yeah
(chorus, hook)
if you wanna fly high
put your hands up to sky
put em up(put em up)
if you wanna fly high
then raise your hands up to the sky
put em up and wave(wave)
if you want to fly high
then put your hands up to the sky
if you truly believe you can
you can fly across the sky
with the wind and across the mountains high
just like a plane or bird
all you need is belief you heard
Chorus
Now listen to me and take my advice
Take the risk and roll the dice
Just believe you can
And if it dont work then try again
Cause you've got nothin to lose
but you got somethin to prove
And never try to grief
Cause all you'll ever need is belief
Chorus
If you say you cant fly
then your tellin yourself a lie
Cause you just gotta believe
That you can achieve
Your goals to the fittest
And always remember the sky is the limit
Ah huh yeah just believe you can fly and sing with me
I believe yeah yeah yeah x2
I believe that I can fly
I believe, I believe, I believe
I can fly
yeah
