It’s a little rock, a little pop -- a great addition to the American Idol alum’s sound. Listen to the song above, and check out the lyrics below. (As Daughtry sings, “That’s a good place to start.”) Hear his sweet voice again when UTOPIA premieres this Sunday, Sept. 7!

 

 

Chris Daughtry is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the rock band Daughtry and as the fourth-place contestant on the fifth season of American Idol. After his elimination from Idol, he was given a record deal by RCA Records and formed a band called Daughtry. Their self-titled debut album became the fastest selling debut rock album in Nielsen Soundscan history, selling more than one million copies after just five weeks of release. The album was recorded before the band was officially formed, making Chris Daughtry the only official member present on the album.

In its ninth week of release, Daughtry reached number one on the Billboard charts. Chris Daughtry is now the third most successful American Idol contestant in terms of record sales, behind only Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, who both won their respective seasons. At the 50th Grammy Awards, the band was nominated for Best Rock Song for the single "It's Not Over".

 

 

 

VERSE 1:

 

We're all in the gutter now

With cigarettes and alcohol

Life can surely beat you down

And throw your back against the wall

(Singing oh oh oh oh oh)

It's funny how your life can change

Turn around on a dime

Yeah it can take you down the darkest lane

Then lead you into better times

(Singing oh oh oh oh oh)

 

CHORUS:

 

Say Heaven, heaven, heaven

When all we've known is hell, hell, hell

If we make a new world

Then we got a story to tell

Will we stand together, gether, gether

Or just get torn apart, part, part

Let's find Utopia

That's a good place to start

 

VERSE 2:

 

I don't claim to have wrote the book of life

But read it all a couple times

I'd rather be soaking up the sun

And sippin' on the cheapest wine

(Singing oh oh oh oh oh)

 

CHORUS:

 

Say Heaven, heaven, heaven

When all we've known is hell, hell, hell

If we make a new world

Then we got a story to tell

Will we stand together, 'gether, 'gether

Or just get torn apart, part, part

Let's find Utopia

That's a good place to start

 

BRIDGE:

 

Money can't buy us

Never said our souls were for sale

But they're gonna try us

Whether we succeed or fail

This is Utopia,

Let’s make a brand new start

 

CHORUS:

 

Say Heaven, heaven, heaven

When all we've known is hell, hell, hell

If we make a new world

Then we got a story to tell

Will we stand together, 'gether, 'gether

Or just get torn apart, part, part

 

This is Utopia,

Let’s make a brand new start

This is Utopia,

Let's make a brand new start

This is Utopia,

Let's make a brand new start
