I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand
Because we can
*Instrumental*
She’s in the kitchen staring out the window
So tired of living life in black & white
Right now she’s missing those technicolor kisses
When he turns down the lights
Lately feeling like a broken promise
In the middle staring down his doubt
There’s only one thing in this world that he knows
He said forever and he’ll never let her down
I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain't a soldier but I’m here to take a stand
Because we can
She laid take out on the coffee table
Prepped the dishes poured a glass of wine
Turn down the sound and move a little closer
Just for a moment everything is alright
I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand
Because we ca-an our love can move a mountain
Because we ca-an if you believe in we
Because we ca-an just wrap your arms around me
Because we ca-an we ca-an
*Instrumental*
I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand
I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean
I am a rock not just another grain of sand
I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand
Because we ca-an our love can move a mountain
Because we ca-an if you believe in we
Because we ca-an just wrap your arms around me
Because we ca-an we can
The album's first single. Bon Jovi said: "The lyrics are very positive obviously "Because We Can," "What About Now?," it's all empowering and that's what we were trying to get to. We were trying to get some positive lyrics. That's kind of where we landed."
