    LYRICS:
    "HANGING ON" 0:00:00 - 0:04:17
    You know we can get away
    Because I'm calling your name
    Every day I feel this pain
    But you just turn and walk away
    I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and me
    I just don't know what is wrong
    With you and me
    Touch me and then turn away
    Put your hands into the flame
    Tell me if you feel this pain
    'Cause I don't want to be a ball and chain
    I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and me
    I just don't what is wrong
    With you and me
    With you and me
    I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and me
    I just don't know what is wrong
    I just can't keep hanging on
    To you and me
    I just don't know what is wrong
    "IN ANOTHER LIFE" 00:05:50 - 00:10:05
    Turn your head around
    Realize a life so profound
    All around us, something bigger
    It surrounds us
    In another life
    In another life
    Let my voice be your guide
    Traveling through infinity
    In throughout your mind, oh-oh
    All around us, something bigger
    It confounds us
    In another life
    In another life
    In another life
    In another life
    In another life
    In another life
    In another life
    "CRUEL WORLD" 00:10:35 - 00:15:25
    I dedicate my life to something richer
    And all the things that come 'cause that's no price at all
    And I know you'll be there
    And I want you to know I care because
    Keep your head up, hold your head up
    Even though it's a cruel world
    Count your blessings, you won't need them
    When you're gone, it's a cruel world
    You can't see it, you can't see it
    Even though it's a cruel world
    We're thrown into this life, no raft, no savior
    Masked in self contempt and wrapped in cotton cloth
    And it's just like a prayer
    The way you showed me you care to be there and because
    Keep your head up, hold your head up
    Even though it's a cruel world
    Count your blessings, you won't need them
    When you're gone, it's a cruel world
    You can't see it, you can't see it
    Even though it's a cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Keep your head up, hold your head up
    Even though it's a cruel world
    Count your blessings, you won't need them
    When you're gone, it's a cruel world
    You can't see it, you can't see it
    Even though it's a cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
    Cruel world
