Rise, taste the air, lock and load, pull the trigger, Climb, to new heights, and tell me, tell me what you hear... A whisper from the wind, and I can't help but listen, It warns us of disaster, and I can't help but wonder, Can anyone hear the same distress call? So this is a quest to save the world, And he'll always be here for another, Another day another chance to rescue (OK Jonny, lock and load) This is all I need to feel alive, (Remember now, aim small, missed mark) The Crashing of white waves and I can't help but listen, The Screaming of the Earth, and I can't help but... So this is a quest to save the world, And He'll always be here for another, Another day, Another chance to rescue, This is all I need to feel alive, (oh yeah) (HEY JONNY!) This is all I need to feel alive WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD! WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD! WAY TO SAVE THE WORLD! WAY.....TO SAVE......THE WORLD! So this is a quest to save the world, And He'll always be here for another, Another day, Another chance to rescue So this is a quest to save the world, And He'll always be here for another, Another day, Another chance to rescue This is all I need to feel alive, (x9)
