I want to be testify, testify my love for you
I’m here to testify, testify my love for you
And I will do, all that I can do for you
Together, we will be together

Come on testify, testify your love for me
Testify, testify your love for me
You can be all the things you want to be
And together, we will be together

Every heart that’s ever been broken
Knows these things must not go unspoken
Giving yourself, giving each other
The strength to lean on one another
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be here for me

That is why I want to testify, testify my faith in you
Come on and testify, testify your trust in me
We can be all the things we want to be
And together, we can do it together

Every heart that’s ever been broken
Knows these things must not go unspoken
Giving yourself, giving each other
The strength to lean on one another
I’ll be there for you, you’ll be here for me

I want to be testify, testify my love for you
I’m here to testify, testify my love for you
And I will do, all that I can do for you
And you know together, we will always be together

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes.
A train arrives but never leaves.
It's a shame.
Oh life - like love that walks out of the door,
of being rich or being poor.
Such a shame.
But it's then, then that faith arrives
to make you feel at least alive.
And that's why you should keep on aiming high,
just seek yourself and you will shine.

[chorus]
You've go to search for the hero inside yourself,
search for the secrets you hide.
Search for the hero inside yourself
until you find the key to your life.

In this life, long and hard though it may seem,
live it as you'd live a dream.
Aim so high.
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright.
The missing treasure you must find
because you and only you alone
can build a bridge across the stream.
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry -
your passport to a feel supreme.

[chorus]

Search inside yourself. (You've got to search) [x2]

[chorus] [x2]

You've got to.
(Search inside yourself) [x3]

Search.

You've done me wrong
Your time is up
You took a sip (just a sip)
From the devil's cup
You broke my heart
There's no way back
Move right outta here baby
Go on pack your bags
Just who do you think you are
Stop acting like some kinda star
Just who do you thi

If you think the World owes you a ride
you'll never find the reason why.
Boy you know it's down to you.
Lookin' down you'll only see your own two feet.
Mama used to say to me
take a walk down Angel St.
So sweet thing have I got news for you
come and taste my soul food.
So what have you got to lose

Angel Street.
Stand on your own two feet
'cos baby can't you see
if were to stay alive
only the strong survive.


Don't you know if you can't respect yourself
you'll be left on the shelf
no one's gonna carry you.
Walkin' tall dreamin' of love and pride
reachin' up to the sky
arms and eyes are open wide.
So come on let's climb the stairs out of this
make a wish and steal a kiss
boy what have you got to lose.

One night in heaven. One night in heaven. [x4]
Sometimes I get to thinking, while you are far away,
just how much I miss you and how time it ticks away.
So sad when we are fighting, too much tension too much hate.
Sometimes I need reminding, before it ge

(If you reach on high - do it. If you reach on high) [x2]
(If you reach)

Over bridge of sighs,
to rest my eyes in shades of green
under dreaming spires
to Itchycoo Park. That's where I've been.
(What did you do there?)
I got high...
(What did you feel there?)
Well, I cried...
(But why the tears then?)
Tell you why...

It's all too beautiful! [x4]

I'll tell you what I'll do.
(What will you do?)
I'd like to go there now with you,
you can miss out school.
(Won't that be cool?)
Why go to hear the words of fools?
(What did you do there?)
I got high...
(What did you touch there?)
I touched the sky...
(But why the tears then?)
I'll tell you why...

It's all too beautiful! [x4]

(Beaty) [x10]

(Beatiful) [x3]
(-ful yeah)

I feel inclined to blow my mind,
get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun.
They all come out to groove about
be nice and have fun in the sun.

(Beatiful) [x3]
(-ful)

(What did you do there?)
I got high...
(What did you touch there?)
I touched the sky...
(But why the tears then?)
Tell you why...

(It's all too beautiful!) [x4]

It's all so beautiful. (It's all too beautiful!) [x4]

(so beautiful) Beautiful. [x4]

Yeah heah. [x3]

(It's all too beautiful!)
It's so beautiful, yeah.
(It's all too beautiful!)
It's beautiful.
(It's all too beautiful!)
Beautiful, yeah.
(It's all too beautiful!)

Beaty all around me.

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprice. [x4]

Oh yeah. [x4]

Another dollar, another day.
Some old routine in my way.
My eyes are achin', my body tired.
I'm all strung up you know I feel so wired.
And then you walk into the room.
Time stops, everything drops, boom boom boom.
Vision of love, heavens above.
I feel your body like a velvet glove.
Because...

[chorus]
You're a sight for sore eyes.
As a mater of fact at the drop of a hat,
you're my love surprice.

So radical, so very chic.
But without you I feel so weak
when lover boy comes into sight.
I don't know why but it feels so right.
Need energy, a vitamin shock?
No way for me, you're what I got.
Don't need no drugs to make me high,
I just need to look you baby right in the eye.
Because...

[chorus]

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprice. [x4]

Surprice me baby. [x4]

[chorus] [x2]

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love a surprice. [x8]

I will climb the highest mountain
just for you.
Bring gold and silver to your door
just for you.
I will raise my glass up to the sky
just for you.
I will be your strength and be your pride
be with you.

I'll make sweet soul music all night long
just for you.
Make you feel that you belong
just for you.
We'll take a ride in the tunnel of love
just us two.
I will scream aloud at the altar of God
I love you.

[Chorus]
Just for you I'll wash you down,
cleanse your soul and be around,
hold your hand and lead the way,
be with you all through your day.
Just for you I'll sacrifice
everything in my life,
I will give all this to you,
dedicate my self to you...
Just for you, just for you, just for you, yeah (just for you)
Just for you, just for you, just for you (just for you)
Just for you, just for you, just for you, yeah (just for you)
Just for you, just for you, just for you (just for you)
I'll be a shooting star in the sky at night
just for you.
I'll be your mother of pearl, diamond girl
just for you.
I'll lock the door, throw away the key
just for you.
I am the air that you breathe
I am you.

[Chorus]

I'll terrorise, publicise, capitalise, mesmerise,
idolise, wave goodbyes to all the things you despise.

Just for you. Just for you.

[Chorus]

I'll climb the highest mountain,
until I reach the top.
I'll climb the highest mountain,
and I will not stop.
I'll climb the highest mountain (highest mountain),
and I'll never stop (never stop).
I'll climb the highest mount

You're my masterpiece, my priceless friend,
my inspiration, love 'til the end.
Like a ray of light, a flower in bloom,
you change the day, sun and moon.

[chorus] [x2]
Colour my life, ooh child you've got to
colour my life. Mmmm I said
colour my life.
Fill my canvas with everything nice.

Like a cactus flower in the desert sand,
an oasis of love in a desolate land,
our emotions flow, paint from a brush.
Sweet thing I love you oh so much.

[chorus] [x3]

Colour my life, ooh child you've got to
colour my life. Mmmm I said
colour my life. Mmmm I said,
Fill my canvas with everything nice.

I enter the temple of holy love,
And shout your name to God above.
I tell myself this is no game;
I only hope you feel the same.

They say that love's a two way thing,
And all of the pleasures it may bring.
But our love will never be,
Until you give yourself to me.

[Chorus]
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
Please tell me,
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure.

Losing you would make me feel
Helpless, weak, alone, unreal.
Life I could not contemplate.
I need your love, don't make me wait.

Don't tell me it's not enough,
I try so hard don't be so tough.
I never felt this way before.
I'm sick, and baby, you're my cure.

How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
Oh baby,
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure.

[Chorus]

(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming) woah, oh yeah
(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming) mmm
(Dreaming)
(Dreaming)

I close my eyes and see
A vision of what used to be
Such beauty

Undress me to the bone
Scatter seeds among the stones
Can't you see?

Imagine brown eyes, love and wonder, mmm
That's what keeps me from going under, ooh
Imagine passing through your shadow
A fly-by angel at your window, yes, indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

Walking through empty streets
Gazing at your history
So blue, yeah

Deep in the heart of me
I just can't shake the memories
It's you, yeah

Imagine walking on the water, ooh
The past keeps coming back to haunt you, yes indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again
Dreaming of when
I thought love was innocent
But I wonder

I have a dream (mmm mmm)
Do you have a dream?
(Oh yeah)
I have a dream
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you
Dreaming of me
Dreaming of you

Imagine walking on the water, ooh
The past keeps coming back to haunt you, yes indeed

Ooh, oh yeah
Am I dreaming again?
Dreaming of when
I thought you were heaven sent
But I wonder
Dreaming again

If I only knew how you feel
I would give my heart to you.
And if you let me in on your deal
maybe I won't feel so blue.
Give me a signal... from the heart.
Some kind of sign boy... of who you really are.
Don't waste my time 'cos... we've come too far.
You must decide now... if I'm your star.

[chorus]
Open up your heart. (Oh baby, baby)
Open up your heart.
Make me feel a part. (Oh baby, baby)
Open up your heart.

Why don't you wear your heart on my sleeve
then you can take your place by me.
And as I've got more to give than you need,
come on and end this misery.
Give me a signal... from the heart.
Some kind of sign boy... of who you really are.
Don't waste my time 'cos... we've come too far.
It makes no sense now... when we're apart.

[chorus] [x2]

Give me a signal... from the heart.
Some kind of sign boy... of who you really are.
Don't waste my time 'cos... we've come too far.
You must decide now... if I'm your star.

[chorus] [x2]

Baby, baby, baby. [x2]

Someone to count on in a world ever changin'.
Here I am, stop where you standin'.
What you need is a lover, someone to take over.
Oh baby don't look any further.

Strange when you think of the chances
that we've both been in a state of mind.
Too cool to be careless. Looking for the right thing.
Oh baby don't look any further.

Tonight (tonight) we're gonna taste a little paradise.
Rockin' all night long. Rockin' all night long.
Daylight (daylight) I'll still be looking in your heavenly eyes.

Oh we rocked on and on and on.

Day o umba day o mambu ji ay o.
Don't look any further. Don't you look no furhter.
Day o umba day o na jam bay um bay o.
Don't look any further.

The world is cold and times are bad.
Everytime I think about it, it makes me sad.
War and drugs are everywhere
and it's getting so hard to breathe the air.
But it doesn't have to be like this,
all the rancour and bitterness.
If we can just open our eyes
we can make this world a paradise.

Someday.
We'll live as one family in perfect harmony.
Someday.
If we all pull together we will all be free.

Someday (someday!) [x3]

Free from the pressure and the prejudice
(FREE FROM OPRESSION AND PREJUDUICE )
we can change it all with tenderness.
There'll be no void between black and white.
We'll be able to walk the streets at night.
I won't be fooled while someone dies of starvation,
the whole world will be my nation.
We will walk hand in hand.
I'll go to South Africa and be called woman.

Someday.
We'll live as one family in sweet harmony.
Someday.
If we all pull together we will all be free.

Mmmm, someday.
We'll all be free - mmmm, you and me.
Someday (someday!) [x3]
We will all be free, (someday) free, FREE!

Someday!
I wanna be
Someday!
Free!
Someday!
Free!
Someday! [x2]
Someday! (someday) [x2]
Someday!

Someday we'll all be free... [x2]
Hmm,
someday [x6]
we'll all be free...
Hey I wanna be free, free, FREE!

There'll be no ghettos, no addiction.
All today's troubles will seem like fiction.
We will walk hand-in-hand.
I'll go to South Africa and be called woman.

Someday (someday!) [x2]
Hey , I wanna be
Someday (someday!)
Free!
Someday...
[repeat to end]

I'm coming home, I'm coming home to your house.
Boy there's so many things to give.
I've been aware of your charms for so long
and there's nothing that you can do
to stop me from coming around, round
to your house.
I'm coming home, I'm coming home to y

Gather round people I just dreamt of this song
about all the World gettin' along.
Human rights, no shallow graves
politician's speak the truth, no one's got Aids.
I look at a Muslim embracing a Jew
everyone's eating everyone's food.
Free from diseases, ain't no Third World
love is the message, love is the word.

[Chorus] [x2]
This is my island (island),
my fantasy (my fantasy),
my fantasy (fantasy).

There's a welcome mat at the centre of the earth.
No sign of hate, a four-letter word.
The children are playing in air you can breathe
people got dreams, people achieve.
Everywhere's music, sunshine and laughter
we still feel the same the morning after
words in the air, love in the heart.
This is my dream, a brand new start

[Chorus] [x2]

(This is my fantasy) [x8]

Believe in me baby.

[Chorus 2] [x2]
Say what have we got
we got the power (we got the power).
Got sixty seconds, got every hour (every hour).
Say what have we got
we got the power (we got the power).
We are the spark to light the fire (light the fire).
Got one blood, got one skin
got one soul deep within.
Got a heart beating fast
got a dream got no past.

Say what have we got.

This is my, this is my, this is my fantasy. [x2]

[Chorus] [x2]

(This is my fantasy) [x8]

He came from somewhere back
In his long ago
Sentimental fools don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in their lives

She musters a smile
For a nostalgic tale
Never comin' near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes
He sees
No wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems
To be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all

Is sending him somewhere back
In his long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in his life
Someday, somewhere
She will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice

As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes
(I know she's never going away)
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems
(Nobody's gonna tell him)
To be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all

He's making a fool believe
He sees
No wise man has the power
(Ain't nobody got it)
To reason away
What seems
(Nobody's gonna tell him)
To be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
