Journey

Songwriter: Jonathan Cain Steve Perry

Producer: Mike Stone Kevin Elson

[Verse 1]
You've been picked and it's over
What's that chip on your shoulder?
Outside were solid rainbows
Inside is where the heart grows
Picking up the pieces
Something more to believe in

[Chorus:]
As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
Hang on, don't let go now
You know, with every heartbeat, we love
Nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely

[Verse 2]
You've got some fascination
With your high expectations
This love is your obsession
Your heart, your prized possession
Let down your defenses
Won't be up to the one who cares

[Chorus]

When you are feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you are lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely

[Outro]
Ask the lonely
When you are down in deep despair[x2]
Ask the lonely
Lonely

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
