alter bridge - In Loving Memory


In Loving Memory


You were always home waiting
But now I come home
and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
that sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
cause it comforts me

I carry the things
that remind me of you
In loving memory of
the one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you’re gone
You still mean the world to me

I never knew what it was-to be alone....no
Cause you were always
there for me
You were always home waiting



But now I
come home and it’s not the same no
It feels empty and alone
I just can’t believe you’re gone

And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
that sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
cause it comforts me

I’m glad He set you free from sorrow
but I’ll still love you more tomorrow
and you’ll be here
with me still
All you did you did with feeling
And you always found a meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
that sets me free



I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
cause it comforts me
























Broken Wings


Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our Souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
the things we hold
are always first to go
and who’s to say
we won’t end up alone

On broken wings I’m falling
and it won’t be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
and it won’t be long
I’ve got to find that meaning
I’ll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love



Mend the broken homes
Care for them
they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
will always carry you
And who’s to say
we won’t survive it too

On broken wings I’m falling
and it won’t be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
and it won’t be long
I’ve got to find that meaning
I’ll search for so long

Set a
free all
Relying on their will
to make me all that I am
and all that I’ll be
Set a
free all
Will fall between the cracks



with memories of all that I am
and all that I’ll be

On broken wings I’m falling
and it won’t be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees I’m bleeding
and it won’t be long
I’ve got to find that meaning I’ll search for so long

















Metalingus

I’ve been defeated and brought down
Dropped to my knees when hope ran out
The time has come to change my ways

On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we’ll leave it all
Leave it all behind

I’ll never long for what might have been
Regret won’t waste my life again
I won’t look back I’ll fight to remain

On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we’ll leave it all behind
On this day
It’s so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive



Fear will kill me
All I could be
Lift these sorrows
Let me breathe
Could you set me free
Could you set me free

On this day
I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
We’ll leave it all behind
On this day
It’s so real to me
Everything has come to life
Another chance to chase a dream
Another chance to feel
Chance to feel alive












































Burn It Down


Drank so much last night
I think that I drowned
But now my cup is empty
No one has seen my will around
Now my heart is aching
Sometimes I fall asleep for days
but my bed is empty
I know I’m too set in my ways
Tell ‘em all I’m Okay

So burn it down
Discover the dusk
of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
remember to find a new way
to carry on

Flew so high last night
I think that I fell
to the ground so heavy
Woke up to find this living hell
It used to be so easy
Hard to tell my nights
now from my days
The curtains hide my feelings
Don’t feel I have any right to pray
And will they find me someday
Someday

So burn it down
Discover the dusk
of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
remember to find a new way
to carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
remember to find a new way
to carry on

And whatever takes us away
Will be the same to drive us on-And whatever takes us away
will be the same to drive us on
Remember to find a new way
A way to see it all
It’s finally slipping away
Soon it will be gone
Remember to find a new day
Remember to carry on

So burn it down
Discover the dusk
of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
remember to find a new way
to carry on
So burn it down
Discover the dusk
of your day has reached it’s dawn
So burn it down
remember to find a new way
to carry on

























Down To My Last


To the ones in which we sing
We are honored you let us in
I remember the thoughts of many things
Of the glory that you bring

I was never the right one
To dare to dream
It’s funny what this life has done to me now
You were always the only
To help me see that was a road I must find
A road that was mine

But I’m down to my last
I’m standing here alone
Looking back on it all
I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong and
I’m blind to it all

And to the ones in which we sing
Ones who tried to do us in
I remember your name and I know your face
I can’t forgive and can’t erase

I was never the right one
To bear the weight
Of something fueled by words I learned to hate
You were always the only
To help me see that to love is to shine
In your world I’m blind

But I’m down to my last
I’m standing here alone
Looking back on it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong and
I’m blind to it all

But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong
And I’m scared of it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong
And I’m blind to it all
But I’m down to my last
I’m ready but I’m wrong
And I’m blind to it all






































Open Your Eyes


Looking back I clearly see
What it is that’s killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can’t believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run
It’s hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
it’s hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
lost the faith and lost the love
when the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
