Open Your Heart (main theme)
All right!
Thunder, rain, and lightnin'
Danger, water risin'
Clamor, sirens wailin'
It's such a bad sign
Shadows, dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone: "Who are we? What can we do?"
You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not, there is no way I can lose
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let it go
I know it's a one-way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
Ancient cities blazin'
Shadows keep attackin'
Little children cryin'
Confusion, hopeless anger
I don't know what it can be, but you drive me crazy
All your cunning tricks make me sick
You won't have it your own way
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let it go
I know it's a one-way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, and you will see
(guitar solo)
(All right! Yeah...)
If it won't stop, there will be no future for us
Its heart's tied down by all the hate, gotta set 'em free
I know it's a one-way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
(Gotta open your heart, dude)
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let it go
I know it's a one-way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alriiiiiiiight, yeah!
Open your heart!
Open your heart!
(Yeah, yeah-ahhhh...)
Thunder, rain, and lightnin'
Danger, water risin'
Clamor, sirens wailin'
It's such a bad sign
Shadows, dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake

It Doesn't Matter (Sonic's theme)
Ooooh, yeah!
Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
I'm just livin' by my own feelings
And I won't give in, won't compromise
I just only have a steadfast heart of gold
I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
I got my way, my own way
It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
There is no way to stop me from going to the very top
It doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right
Well, I won't look back, I don't need to
Time won't wait and I got so much to do
Where do I stop, it's all a blur and so unclear
Well, I don't know but I can't be wrong
This fight is not for anybody, this is purely for myself
There is no way I'm gonna give up 'til the very end
I can't tell what is wrong and what is right, I've got to find the answer
But until I do, there's no way I will ever give up
Place all your bets on the one you think is right
(guitar solo)
It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running

It doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah! Ohhhh-oh-oh!
Oh, yeah-ah-ah!
Ohhh-oh...

Believe in Myself (Tails' theme)
When all alone in my chair, I just go about wishin'
I wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted
When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearnin'
I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him
But that's not somethin' I can do so easily
This is not simply my way, my style
Gotta get a hold of my life
I wanna fly high, so I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be waiting for me so I have gotta fly higher
Gotta keep goin', everything is a brand new challenge for me
I will believe in myself, this is the only start for me
When all alone in my sleep, I just go about dreamin'
I see myself there, having the same adventure
If I just follow you, I will not see the light
Now's the time to find my way through this life
I'm tryin' so hard to be strong
I wanna fly high, so I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be waiting for me so I have gotta fly higher
Gotta keep goin', everything is a brand new challenge for me
I will believe in myself, this is the only start for me
(guitar solo)
Many friends help me out, in return I help them
Certain things I can do
And there's things that only I can do
No one's alone
I wanna fly high, so I can reach the highest of all the heavens
Somebody will be waiting for me so I have gotta fly higher
Gotta keep goin', everything is a brand new challenge for me
I will believe in myself, this is the only start for me
I wanna be strong, I really wanna be trusted
When all alone in my bed, I just go about yearnin'
I wanna be cool, I also wanna be like him
But that's not somethin' I can do so easily
This is not simply my way, my style
Gotta get a hold of my life
I wanna fly high, so I can reach the highest of all the heavens

Unknown from M.E. (Knuckles' theme)
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic, I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest, I'm independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left
Born on an island in the heavens
The blood of my ancestors flows inside me
My duty is to save the flower
From evil deterioration, yeah
I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you
Streaking lights, loud sounds, and instincts
Are the elements that keep me going
I am fighting my own mission
Nothing's gonna stand in my way, no, no
I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of them evil spirits that's in you
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet, gonna fight for my destiny
Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
The best of them, tougher than leather
You can call me Knuckles, unlike Sonic, I don't chuckle
I'd rather flex my muscles
I'm hard as nails, it ain't hard to tell
I break 'em down whether they're solid or frail
Unlike the rest, I'm independent since my first breath
First test, feel the right, than the worst's left
I have no such things as weak spots
Don't approve of him, but gotta trust him
This alliance has a purpose
This partnership is only temporary, yeah
I will be the one to set your heart free, true
Cleanse yourself of evil spirits that got in you
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet, I shall not surrender
(trumpet solo)
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
Get this power to wipe out the havoc and anarchy
This is my planet, gonna fight, I...
Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the pain and turmoil
Just believe in myself, won't rely on others
Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
This is my planet, I shall not surrender
The new porcupine on the block with the buff chest
In the wilderness with the ruggedness
Knock, knock, it's Knuckles, the bloat thrower
Independent flow-er, Magical Emerald holder
I'll give you the coldest shoulder
My spikes go through boulders, that's why I stay a loner
I was born by myself, I don't need a posse
I get it on by myself, adversaries get shelved
(Right on!)note

My Sweet Passion (Amy's theme)
Bah-bah-bayah, bayah
Bah-bah-bayah, bayah
Bah-bah-bayah, bayah
Bah-bah-bayah, bayah
Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah
I got out my map and chose a place I wanted to go to (packed up my stuff, set out for adventure)
I know that your lucky color is that cool shade of blue (won't mind painting myself blue for you)
I guess I'm so easy to understand
I just do whatever comes to me naturally
(Alright)
I do understand the feelings of a Persian cat (but the Sphinx looked so cute, I had to shave it)
He reminds me of parsley when he's standing there all alone (makes me wanna be his speciality)
I guess I'm just a self-centered girl
But there are nights that I have trouble going to sleep
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) So many things I want
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) I wanna be a wonderful girl
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) I'm not simple-minded
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) And I won't be a pearl
You probably need me just as much as I need you
(electric piano solo)
Are you okay, you seem to be a little tense (you don't have to worry 'bout a single thing)
We are free to get whatever that we want to have (we're also free to do whatever we want)
That's what we'll do, yeah, that's what we'll do, ooh
We should live our lives the way we think it ought to be
(Mm-hmm)
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) There's nowhere to hide
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) Come on, settle our lives
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) I'll always be there for you
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) In the best and worst times
You can be my sweetest honey for eternity
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) So many things I want
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) I wanna be a wonderful girl
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) I'm not simple-minded
(Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet) And I won't be a pearl
I honestly need you just as much as you need me
Whoa, whoa
Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet (mm-hmm)
Sweet, sweet, you're so sweet (ooh-ooh-huh)
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Lazy Days (Livin' in Paradise) (Big's theme)
Hey!
Oh, yeah!
Oh-ooh!
Yeah!
Oh, it's a windy and sunny day
And I can hear the faint sound of distant waves
The past weeks have been goin' by so fast
It's all the same, the bright sky and shinin' sun
I have a feelin' it's gonna be a fun day
Oh, it's a windy and sunny day
The many summers and many great games
Guess it's another trouble-free day
Our playground's so huge, we don't know where it ends
Feels energetic and groovy
Everything's cool, it's excellent
(Everyday's a new beginning, yeah!)
We don't know who we're gonna meet today
(The more I want, the less that I can get)
Keep walking for a new tomorrow
(But I guess that I'm so happy now)
Gonna set my heart free
Now I've got nothing to worry me
Come on, let's just get up, go, go, go, go!
Hey, big guy (hey, little guy)
Can you tell me who came first
(Sorry, but I don't know)
We are simply natural
Okay, all you have to do is sit up, look left, right, up, and down!
Hey, big guy (hey, little guy)
Can you tell me what's inside
(Sorry, but I don't know)
We are simply natural
We present you with a gift
Welcome to our paradise!
(piano solo)
Oh, yeah!
(guitar solo)
(What'd you think about the incident?)
You always take me for granted
(I am asking you as a first step)
You answer first 'cause I asked you first
(You and I are friends for all of time)
Tell me how you feel
But you know I can't resist that smiley face
Happy happy
