RONNIE ATKINS LYRICS

1. Real

This good life
It's splendour
Never a chance did I push aside
Nor my sense for adventure
Chasing the dream
Since I was a teen
And my home's been
The whole world
I played the cards
That was dealt to me
Made my bones, pushed over
But I'm still lingering on

And I still fly
Like an eagle soaring high

It's gotta be real
I don't wanna settle for second best
I wanna feel
The rush of every breath that I take
And I'm real
What you see will always
Be what you get
Real every little step of the way

In this life
I've been there
Been there done that
I took my fights and my bouts
I was sincere
True to myself and I'm humble
For all I'm allowed
In this life
Driven by faith never lost the fire
From the first breath
Till the last sigh
Everyday is a gift

And in the end
I wouldn't change a single thing

I lived out loud the fantasies
That rocked my world
The flame inside of me still burns

2. Scorpio

You'll never read me
Never figure out
What lies behind my eyes
So strong and yet so vulnerable
I'm complex, consistent,
Competitive
See you you
In black and white
Mysterious and perceptual
My trust ain't build up easily
But once you have it you will see
You'll find no better friend than me
And it goes forever

Here comes the Scorpio
My poison lies within
Strength is my dynamo
As deadly as my sting
If you hurt me I will hurt you back so don't
Oppose my glee
Don't tread on me

And if you dare to walk with me you'll feel
My sheer intensity
My passion and my jealousy
You'll be aware that I desire to lead and I
Don't take defeat
It's anchored deep inside of me

I'd jump into the fray for you
If you commit yourself to me
There ain't no thing I wouldn't do
My faith is endless

Mars is my lord life is my battlefield
Straight to the core I'm my own worst enemy
Here comes the Scorpio
My stamina is strong
And when I've set my goals
I'll battle 'til it's won
Here comes the Scorpio
My poison lies within
Strength is my dynamo
As deadly as my sting
If you hurt me I will hurt you back
So don't oppose my glee
Don't tread on me

3. One Shot

There is magic in this room tonight
Like a lucid vivid dream
Everywhere an in between
An enchanted sense of pure delight
Like an inner state of grace
Everything falls into place

Like all the rivers
They are floating into one
It's making sense
There's meaning to it all
Tonight our love is shining brighter
Than the sun
This is our call
Just think about it

One shot one life
One chance to throw the dice
And we can't waste another day no
One love two hearts
One go to play our parts in life
What if tomorrow is too late

This is perfect and it feels so right
We cannot let it pass
Our fortunes made of glass
And I see it
When I melt into your eyes
Whatever road we take
I will suffer for your sake

Embrace the moment
We are living in the now
In a heavenly place
A realm of blissfulness
Feel the rapture of the love that we're
Allowed
Within ourselves

And tonight we roam in paradise
A higher love so beautified
When one is all and all is one
Like the essence of a fairy tale
The kind of love that couldn't fail
The journey that has just begun

4. Subjugated

I've been back-stabbed
I've been double-crossed
Mistreated and misused
Been a witness to your
Greed and grandiosity
Now my trust is you is
As worn out as the soles of my shoes
Had enough of blatant lies
And in-transparency
And you know

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be subjugated
All I wanna be
All I wanna be
I wanna be me
I don't wanna be
Wanna be intimidated
Just gotta break free

I've been hurt and disappointed
I felt bitter and betrayed
I've been let down
From your ego and dishonesty
All your self justification
Do you ever feel ashamed
You intimidate to cover your fragility
And you know

5. Frequency Of Love

Look upon the sky one star will twinkle
And you'll feel that rush of love
Channeling through
And you'll realize that love is
True and simple
When the only star in heaven
Shines for you

Our destiny is predecided
Ride in through the great divide
Come shine with me
We're meant to be eternally
Flying through all space and time
And dive into the love divine
'Cause love is real and you will feel
It's endlessly
The frequency of love

I'll be everywhere and
All around to trace you
You'll always be the hotline to my heart
When you're down 'n out
My spirit will embrace you
The destination for your soul to park

6. Before The Rise Of An Empire

Staring straight into your eyes
The barrel of a gun
Yet another sacrifice to come
Conflict over compromise
Prospects stripped away
And it all comes with a price
Outrage

Now someone stole your light
Your future your god-given right to shine
It takes someone to die
For others to survive

Before the rise of an empire
Another must fall
Build on the bones from the dead
It'll rise above all

They could never crush your dreams
Nor silence your desires
No oppressor nor regime
Could tame your fire
Defying tyranny your destiny's in
Someone else's hands
Regain your dignity go claim to your
Demands

Maybe one day
Your will may be done
And your pleas they may be heard
Somewhere down the darkened
Road beyond

Before the rise of an empire
Another must fall
Build on the bones from the dead
It'll rise above all

7. Miles Away

I could travel half around the world
Fly out to the moon and back
And you'd be there for me
Truly you're my angel here on earth
Always there to cheer me up when
I'm lost and lonely

You're the light on my darker days
By my side when the sky is grey
Everyday I'm amazed by the grace
That I see in you

And even when we're miles away
Miles away
Your love's still haunting
Baby when we're miles away
Our ties won't break, we'll still be bonding
Always be drawn to you

Looking through your eyes I see pure gold
Living is a high when I can hear you breathing
Baby you were born to touch my soul
Never did you let me down nor hurt my feelings

And in life's ever changing lanes
I know that you will remain the same
'Til the end I'll depend on the friend
That I have in you

My each and everything you
Mean the world to me
You're my rock you're my reason
A friend in need is a friend indeed
And this love runs so deep and it's healing
Woman you're my heart and soul
And I could always count on you
In troubled times you pulled me through
And my road leads back to you

8. Picture Yourself

Bullets flying people dying
Riots in the streets
Racial segregation and
Injustice lies beneath

We all need correction
To reconcile and heel
We need redirection
To find what's real

Picture yourself in a world where you
Wanna be
World of felicity
World you can see yourself in
In a world of humanity
Freed from insanity
A world where you wanna be

And here we are in sheer frustration still
Stuck in reverse
And left a trail of devastation tortured
Mother earth
It's plain to see the red lights
It's calling out for change
Time to fight the good fight and engage

And our commitment is
Crucial, indisputable in the end
And everything will be beautiful,
So beautiful again

9. Prophesize

We can't cover all the tracks
Nor can we justify our acts
We know too well
Still we refuse to realize
As we're all living in denial
Within ourselves

The mines we're laid we see exploding
Rains keeps falling storms are growing
It's in the tarots it's an omen it's a sin
So wake up from the lie you're living in

I prophesize
I see the future in the fire
We are the fuel upon the pyre
I see beyond the never the pyre
I see beyond the never ending
I see it all
I see the writing on the wall
I look inside the crystal ball
I see angels descending
I prophesize
I see beyond
I see the signs

When reality beats fiction
And a threat to our existence
Comes to show
When your world begins to smolder
There's a weight upon your shoulder
And you know

The world we've known has lost its glory
The seeds we've sown all tells their story
Must regain to stand victorious in the end
And wake up to the lie we're living in

10. One By One

Life is a struggle you're persistent and endure
Crave for the healing rain
But there ain't no cure
Like every human soul
You face the ups and downs
And then you never know
When the bell rings out

In life
There's no mountain too high to climb
No river too deep to dive
Let your heart and soul be your guide
One by one
The pieces come together
Brick by brick
You're building up yourself again
On and on
We stumble we fall
Re-arise and stand tall
One by one

Living is a do or die it's all a give and take
Living is to love someone cause it
Hurts to hate
You try to navigate and finally realize
It's just a stepping stone
To the afterlife

And you
Destiny will carry you through
You'll be judged for all that you do
There's a karma waiting for

One by one
The pieces come together
Brick by brick
You're building up yourself again
On and on

The road that runs forever
Step by step
Will soon enough be closing in
One by one
We stumble we fall
Re-arise and stand tall
One by one

11. When Dreams Are Not Enough

You know the feeling all you really want
Belongs to someone else
All you envision all that you pretend
Disappear within itself
Clutching at straws you'd do anything
'Cause your goals are all that matters
When all the colors have gone
Out of your world

When your hopes
And dreams lies shattered
Think you're there
Just to find that you're nowhere near
Your life ain't going anywhere
Just lost somewhere down the line
When dreams are not enough
When dreams are not enough

When it's one step forward
And two steps back
When you've lost your way
And gone of the track

When dreams are not enough
Rock bottom riding against the tide
Wish a miracle would emerge
Seek shelter from the hurt inside
But you don't know where to search

You're astray
On a foundation made of clay
And one more time you're pushed away
Hopelessly stuck down the line
