Well I walked over the bridge
Into the city where I live,
And I saw my old landlord.
Well we both said hello,
There was no where else to go,
'cuz his rent I couldn't afford.

Well relationships change,
Oh I think it's kinda strange,
How money makes a man grow.
Some people they claim,
If you get enough fame,
You live over the rainbow.
Over the rainbow..

But the people on the street,
Out on buses or on feet,
We all got the same blood flow.
Oh, in society,
Every dollar got a deed,
We all need a place so we can go,
And feel over the rainbow.

But sometimes,
We forget what we got,
Who we are.
Oh who are are not.
I think we gotta chance,
To make it right.
Keep it loose,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight.

I'm in love with a girl,
Who's in love with the world,
Though I can't help but follow.
Though I know some day,
She is bound to go away,
And stay over the rainbow.
Gotta learn how to let her go.
Over the rainbow.

Sometimes we forget who we got,
Who they are.
Oh, who they are not.
There is so much more in love,
Than black and white.
Keep it loose child,
Gotta keep it tight.
Keep it loose child,
Keep it tight.

Keep it tight,
Keep it tight,
Yaa..

Go ahead baby,
run away again.
Growing tired of chasing you.
I know you only have time,
to love me.
You've got nothing better to do.

Who's bold enough to believe?
Even love or war..
Both just leave you busted,
and broken down.
Wanting more..

Baby, i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.
I aint gonna be your fool any more.

I can hear my heart pounding,
oh but i can't decide.
Stuck between the depths of my fears,
and peaks of my pride.

Baby, i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.
You know that i've seen it all before.
And I aint gonna be your fool any more.

Seen your tricks,
and i've seen your traitors.
I've seen your evil ways.
I've seen everything,
your twisted smile,
conveying.

I aint gonna be your fool baby <i>[x7]</i>
any more..

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
But when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

Now, most days,
i spend like a child.
Who's afraid of ghosts in my mind.
I know, there aint nothing out there.
I'm still afraid to turn on the lights.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days a i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me..
Ya, when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

I've been waiting a long time,
I just hope that i might find.
The right kind of love, for me.
You know I've been lonesome,
God knows we all been lonesome.
Some people think that being lonesome really means being free.

But i would,
give it all up for you.
Yea i would,
give it all up for you.
Yes i would,
give it up,
settle down,
stop looking around.
I finally found,
something true.

We live in a world full of confusion.
A culture based in illusion.
Some people think it's amusing,
but it's really just fantasy.

I would give it all up for you,
yes i would give it all up for you.
Yea i would,
give it all up for you.
Yes i would,
give it up,
settle down,
finally found something true.

I, I will give it all,
I will give it all up for you now baby.

I would give it up, i would give it up, i would give it all up for you now baby. <i>[x3]</i>

My soul,
is as open as the sky.
Often time,
it's just as blue.
People tell me,
I need to keep on dreamin'.
That's just what I'm gonna do.

Now everybody,
wanna treat me like a house fly.
Turn me around,
and tell me to shoo.
Wanna tell me,
keep on dreamin'.
That's just what I'm gonna do.

'Cause every moral,
has a story.
Every hand needs a glow.
Sometimes it's full of glory.
Oh, but mostly, it's for the love.
It's the love..
Mmm..

It's the love.
It's the love that pulls me through.
'Cause when they tell me,
keep on dreamin'.
Thats just what I'm, I'm gonna, thats just what I'm gonna do.

Did you believe it,
when they told you they discovered you?
And that everything is free,
as long as you do what they tell you to.
You think it's true?

But nothing could be farther from the truth,
my love.

Did you even listen,
When they told you to change your name?
And that nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect frame
play the game.

Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful that beauty in a wicked world.
Play it girl,
play it girl,
play it girl.

Does it make you feel good,
when they tell you what you want to hear?
And after they suck all your soul,
well that's when they'll disappear.
Disappear.
They disappear forever..

Like a prince in your little fairy tale.
And you will find,
one day you put you soul on sale..

Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.

Yesterday i got lost in the circus,
feeling like such a mess.
And now I'm down ,
I'm just hanging on the corner.
I can't help but reminisce.

Cuz when you're gone,
all the colours fade.
When you're gone,
no new years day parade.
You're gone,
colours seem to fade.

Your mama called, she said,
thah you're downstairs crying.
Feeling like such a mess.
Ya, i hear ya,
in the back ground balling.
What happened to your sweet summer time dress.

I know we all,
we all got our faults.
We get locked in our vaults,
and we stay

When you're gone,
all the colurs fade.
When you're gone,
no new years day parade.
You're gone,
colours seem to fade,
colours seem to fade.

I keep on livin',
to keep from cryin'.
I keep on dreamin',
to keep from dyin'.
I keep on trying,
I aint gonna stop.

Get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

We all know someone,
whos always hurtin',
The sun is shinin',
they draw the curtain.
One thing for certain,
the pain aint gonna stop.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Cuz i know the grass,
is always greener in someone else's yard.
And the world is so much meaner,
when your heart is hard.

I go out walkin',
in any season.
It could be rainin',
it could be freezin'.
I don't need no reason,
it's just so pleasin'.
And i can't stop.

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Tou get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Woah, black river,
gonna take my cares away.
Woah, black river,
gonna take my cares away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.

Woah, dear saviour,
gonna take my cares away.
Woah, dear saviour,
gonna take my cares away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.

Woah, sweet whiskey boy,
c'mon,
gonna take my cares away.
Woah, sweet whiskey boy,
you're gon,
you're gonna take my cares away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.
Gonna take my cares,
gonna carry my cares,
gonna take my care away.

You're gonna take my bottle, my bible, my mess.
You're gonna take all of my empty and my lonelyness.
Gonna take all of the sadness inside of me,
gonna take it all and set me free.

Woah, black river,
gonna take my cares away.

I ain’t no wide eyed rebel
Oh, but I ain’t no preacher’s son
And now I see the trouble and all the loving that I’ve done
And the world ain’t no harder than it’s ever been
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend

So much superstition and so much worry in my heart
I need a new religion it’s time to make a brand new start
And the world ain’t no easier than it’s ever been
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend

Remember when we were in California
We were so much happier then
Now we’re back in New York City
Looking for love in the lies of a lonely friend

And now the clocks are running
And no one knows where time goes
You know the moon is stunning
It’s only shadows that she shows
And the world ain’t no harder than it’s every been
Looking got for love in the lies of a lonely friend

I ain’t no wide eyed rebel
But I ain’t no preacher’s son

All my friends,
all live in pain.
Longing for the warmth of chilhood,
to bring them home again.
All my friends,
got broken hearts.
And if the world's at stage,
we're searching for our parts.

We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees.
And beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.

All my friends,
got broken wings.
never will you hear them asking why,
the cage bird sings.
All my friends,
they know how to live.
oh so much sorrow,
so much love to give.

We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees. Beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.

We all know that storm is coming.
Everybody want to know which way to go.
i see the crowds running,
the winds gonna blow.

All my friends,
are dear to me.
Oh when the storm comes,
they're as close as family.
All the friends,
are the ones i chose.
If i hear them knocking,
you know i can't refuse.

We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees.
And beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
All my friends.
