Estamos chegando
Dos ricos fog?es,
Estamos chegando
Dos pobres bord?is,
Da carne vendida n?s somos,
Viemos amar.

Estamos chegando
Das velhas senzalas,
Estamos chegando
Das novas favelas,
Das margens do mundo n?s somos,
Viemos dan?ar.

Estamos chegando
Dos trens dos subœrbios,
Estamos chegando
Nos loucos pingentes,
Com a vida entre os dentes chegamos,
Viemos cantar.

Estamos chegando dos grandes est‡dios,
Estamos chegando
Da escola de samba,
Sambando a revolta chegamos,
Viemos gingar.

A de ?

Estamos chegando
Do ventre das Minas,
Estamos chegando
Dos tristes mocambos,
Dos gritos calados n?s somos,
Viemos cobrar.

Estamos chegando
Da cruz dos engenhos,
Estamos sangrando
A cruz do Batismo,
Marcados a ferro n?s fomos,
Viemos gritar.

Estamos chegando
Do alto dos morros,
Estamos chegando
Da lei da Baixada,
Das covas sem nome chegamos
Viemos clamar.

Estamos chegando
Do ch?o dos Quilombos,
Estamos chegando
Do som dos tambores,
Dos Novos Palmares s? somos,
Viemos lutar.

A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream.
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.
Oh.


Coins and crosses


Turn round tailor, assaulting
Never know their fruitless worth;



all the mornings of the interest shown,



presenting one another to the cord,
Cords are broken,

All left dying, rediscovered



Of the door that turned round,
Locked inside the mother earth.

To close the cover, all the



interest shown,
They won't hide, hold, they won't tell you,

To turn one another, to the



sign at the time float your climb.
Watching the world, watching all of the world,
Watching us go by.

And you and I climb over the sea to the valley,
And you and I reached out for reasons to call.

II. Eclipse
Anderson/Bruford/Squire

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
As a movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the side of seeds of life with you.

III. The Preacher the Teacher
Anderson/Bruford/Howe/Squire

Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.
There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify;
Political ends, as sad remains, will die.
Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you.
Ooh, ooh.

I listened hard but could not see
Life tempo change out and inside me.
The preacher trained in all to lose his name;
The teacher travels, asking to be shown the same.
In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalize
That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
As a moment regained and regarded both the same,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you.

IV. Apocalypse
Anderson/Bruford/Howe/Squire

And you and I climb, crossing the shapes of the morning.
And you and I reach over the sun for the river.
And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement.
And you and I called over valleys of endless seas.

And in the ruins of the balloon
Stood a man with glasses held high,
Wandering when to do it again
Have another fly into the sky,
Somewhere flying high.


Astral traveller,
Leaving without her,
Wondering where lights go;
Leave out the body load.


Once in the air, people who dare
Get great respect in being.
(Astral traveller.)
Heavenly flight wondrous night
And all the sights worth seeing,
Just believe in.


Astral traveller,
Leaving without her,
Wondering where lights go;
Leave out the body load.

It was the perfect opportunity
Looking at your quick mistakes
You finally went and did it
You screamed and ran away

It was the perfect chance the mystery school
It's all for beginners
How we knew it then
But that didn't mean a thing

So we stacked our promises
To the mothers of invention
Then you chased the spiral dream
With the brothers of time

So you gave your heart of hearts
To the sisters of the union
You were left so high and dry
Just give it up, just give a little time

Betcha never thought you'd make
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd make it

You were dancing faster all the time
Living life so down and out
But it was so magnificent
You couldn't leave it all alone

So you chased your dreams
When they sing to you, 'Bon jour'
It's the perfect dream
But that didn't mean a thing

Something tells me you know who you are?
You just make believe it all
Something tells me you were
Just waiting for that perfect time, hey hey

See this reality
It's the mother of invention
You can spin the spiral dream
Sister, brother, sister of time

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket
Just catch you when you're falling

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket
Just catch you when you're falling, falling

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light of day
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket

Betcha never thought you'd make it
It was the perfect opportunity
Betcha never thought you'd see the light
Just looking at your quick mistakes
Betcha never thought you'd
So you finally went and did it

Betcha never thought
Betcha never thought, betcha never thought you'd make it

Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd make it
Betcha never thought you'd see the light
Betcha never thought you'd see the light
Betcha never thought you'd have it in your pocket

Ahhhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhh
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Di di dit
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Di di di di

Sparkling trees of Silver foam
Cast shadows soft in winter's home
Swaying branches breaking sound
Lonely forest trembling ground.

Masquerading leaves of blue
Run circles round the morning dew
Patterns understood by you
Beyond and before

Time like gold dust springs mine down
To levels hidden underground
Say a few words to the wind
That's all that's left of winters friend.

Reaching the snow
In the days of the cold
Casting a Spell out of Ice
Now that your gone
The summe'rs too long
And it seems like the end of my life
Reaching out beyond and before

Time like gold dust springs mine down
Time like gold dust springs mine down

Anderson

Palabras de bien me llevan a entender,
son ciertos momentos..................
Llega el daa y cruzo puentes,
lleg÷ el daa de vivir feliz.

Hoy creamos puentes para ir por tu amor,
respirando en paz, conectados.
Cantemos con placer y entendimiento,
bailemos con el ritmo de Usa luz que alumbrar½.

Mi naci÷n espera la nueva estaci÷n,
aoora la luz y a quien le di÷ la voz.
Voz de un son en pos de una bendici÷n.
Dulcemente te despertar½s.

Hoy creamos puentes para ir por tu amor,
respirando en paz, conectados.
Cantemos con placer y entendimiento,
bailemos con el ritmo de Usa luz que alumbrar½.

Now we build the bridges that we walk upon.
Now we breathe the peace that conects us.
Speaking with the voice of understanding.
Singing in the rhythmic science of the sky.

Hoy creamos puentes para ir por tu amor,
respirando en paz, conectados.
Speaking with the voice of understanding.
Bailemos con el ritmo de Usa luz que alumbra ya.

Anderson

(Spanish)
La noche espera , y yo aqui sentado en un cafe, ole ola ola ole
Dejando mi vida atras,
solo queria bailar, ola ole ole ola.
Despues de tantos anos juntos en la piel,
la noche me sorprende por primera vez sin el aroma de la infidelidad de esta
oportunidad.
Nadie quiere bailar!

(English)
The night is waiting, and I'm here sitting in a cafe, ole ola ola ole.
I'm leaving my life back,
I just wanted to dance, ola ole ole ola.
After all those years together on the skin (?)
the night surprise me for first time without the fragance of the infidelity
of this opportunity.
Nobody wants to dance...

Cage of freedom
That's our prison
Where the jailer and captive combine
Cage of freedom
Cast in power
All the trappings of our own design
Blind ambition
Steals our reason
We're soon behind those invisible bars
On the inside
Looking outside
To make it safer we double the guard
Cage of freedom
There's no escaping
We fabricated a world of our own....

Cage of freedom, growing smaller
'Til every wall now touches the skin
Cage of freedom, filled with treason
Changing sides as the losses begin
Our suspicion tries escaping
But they step up the security
There's no exit, there's no entrance
Remember how we swallowed the key?
Cage of freedom, that's our prison
We fabricated this world on our own....

Big brother
Is there a bigger one watching you
Or is there one smaller
Who I should be watching too
Infinite circles of
Snakes eating their own tails
For every one chasing
Another is on the trail
Is that a friend
Can you tell, is he on your side?
'Cause I spy with my little eye
Yet another spy... (fadeout)

* Composer: Giorgio Moroder; Pete Belotte
* Lyrics by: Giorgio Moroder; Pete Belotte

A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace,
And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace,
And achieve it all with music that came quickly from afar,
Then taste the fruit of man recorded losing all against the hour.
And assessing points to nowhere, leading ev'ry single one.
A dewdrop can exalt us like the music of the sun,
And take away the plain in which we move,
And choose the course you're running.

Down at the edge, round by the corner,
Not right away, not right away.
Close to the edge, down by a river,
Not right away, not right away.

Crossed the line around the changes of the summer,
Reaching to call the color of the sky.
Passed around a moment clothed in mornings faster than we see.
Getting over all the time I had to worry,
Leaving all the changes far from far behind.
We relieve the tension only to find out the master's name.

Down at the end, round by the corner.
Close to the edge, just by a river.
Seasons will pass you by.
I get up, I get down.
Now that it's all over and done,
Now that you find, now that you're whole.

II. Total Mass Retain
Anderson/Squire

My eyes convinced, eclipsed with the younger moon attained with love.
It changed as almost strained amidst clear manna from above.
I crucified my hate and held the word within my hand.
There's you, the time, the logic, or the reasons we don't understand.

Sad courage claimed the victims standing still for all to see,
As armoured movers took approach to overlook the sea.
There since the cord, the license, or the reasons we understood will be.

Down at the edge, close by a river.
Close to the edge, round by the corner.
Close to the end, down by the corner.
Down at the edge, round by the river.

Sudden call shouldn't take away the startled memory.
All in all, the journey takes you all the way.
As apart from any reality that you've ever seen and known.
Guessing problems only to deceive the mention,
Passing paths that climb halfway into the void.
As we cross from side to side, we hear the total mass retain.

Down at the edge, round by the corner.
Close to the end, down by a river.
Seasons will pass you by.
I get up, I get down.

III. I Get Up, I Get Down
Anderson/Howe

In her white lace
You can clearly see the lady sadly looking.
Saying that she'd take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain.

I get up, I get down,
I get up, I get down.
Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?

[Thru the duty she would coil their said
amusement of her story asking only interest
could be laid upon the children of her domain]

I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

In charge of who is there in charge of me.
Do I look on blindly and say I see the way?
The truth is written all along the page.
How old will I be before I come of age for you?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

IV. Seasons Of Man
Anderson/Howe

The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes.
A constant vogue of triumphs dislocate man, so it seems.
And space between the focus shape ascend knowledge of love.
As song and chance develop time, lost social temp'rance rules above.
Ah, ah.

Then according to the man who showed his outstretched arm to space,
He turned around and pointed, revealing all the human race.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper, knowing all about the place.
On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
Called to witness cycles only of the past.
And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark.

Close to the edge, down by the river.
Down at the end, round by the corner.
Seasons will pass you by,
Now that it's all over and done,
Called to the seed, right to the sun.
Now that you find, now that you're whole.
Seasons will pass you by,
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.

Sitting here in the television
Looking at the tube
Sitting next to me

He's not been very well lately
He told me so
He's been crying
A little bit
And I ain't lyin'

But we're sitting it out
Watching "Match of the Day".

You know we've all gotta go anyway
I said we've all gotta go anyway

And I wouldn't mind being last in line
To see such joy and fruitfulness.
When everyone discovers short stories

Here are the books of look;
You need them to open the seed
To see what goes on in the world
Here in my mind
Catch the wind and hold on tight
To what we'll find
And hear what goes on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me

If there's anything you'd like to say that could help me in any way
Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Feeling terribly old
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

They're on their own, needing a face, a place,
Hope and mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh why indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me.

If there's any complication that you'd like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for you to come along
We can work it all out
When you take over all the things heaven has made for you
Is there anything you think you should know
Is there anything before I go?

Dear Father [Repeat]
You must be putting me on
'Cause most of their minds are gone
They run on T'understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Can I give it a miss
'Cause I'm not ready for this
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should

Dear Father [Repeat]
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you let me go home
I don't think I could see
Lord, they'd crucify me
I just couldn't do that
'Cause that's not where it's at now.

Here are the books of look;
You need them to open the seed

Here are the books

To show them why they're wrong
Oh why indeed

When I'm walking beside her,
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now
Every little thing she does
She does for me yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me
When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
'Cause I know love will never die

Look at the sad goodbyes
Every day's a killing time
Sun coming up outside
No men are born this time
Saturday's child stays home
Nothing to say so long
Well Well Well another day
Well Well well another day.

Grocery store ten bucks
Just making change for plastic cherries
Up in a tree a Jay Bird looking at me
No word
Everyone looks but can't see.
We can't be ignored so easily
Well Well Well another day
Well Well Well another day.

Soft within the wayward things
Like ecstasy, the sound of trees,
Most anything, what a baby sees

Beautiful face all right
Many a place out of sight
Old woman there with red shoes
Four million balloons all used
Drive over hills forget your fear
Getting it out of second gear
Well Well Well another day
Well Well Well another day.

(Anderson)

And the slightest confrontation
Was dissolved before the start
Each man
Belonged
To each as one clear hand.
Asking only comfort creation
He divided to the least
Each man
Open
Set sights to new lands.

And do remember you

The first to venture
First to gain
Exploring daylight
Clearer than the Talloplanic views

And there they were inside
The Moorglade to move and to chant
All through force to position

As rhythm raced inside the ship came alive
And was struck to the soul of perception

And raised our head to space
Beyond all the mass and the mountains
The sun they were headed
Headed

Word of life rejoice the sunlight
Course the flower to open wide
Open
They ride
Climb into the dark sky

Such a moment kindly lingered
They set sail from Tallowcross...

(A light to lead you
Is taken from the massland to the East
As words are spoken
All courage be the token
As the feast)

Wide Eyed Removing
The precious moment we have seen...

Anderson

The night is waiting, and I'm here sitting in a cafe, ole ola ola ole.
I'm leaving my life back,
I just wanted to dance, ola ole ole ola.
After all those years together on the skin (?)
the night surprise me for first time without the fragance of the infidelity

Nobody wants to dance...

Tell me that I would sing
Soft as a song would bring
All of a union together in my life
Tell me I'm everyone
As where my heart is searching
Now is finally resting again

Oh, for the perfect sound
Jon, Jon, for my life
As it's something that I must
Explain this and all to you
Haven't you guessed it
Haven't you guessed it at all
This song is for you
This song is for you

Oh, for the perfect sound
Jah, Jah, for my life
As it's something that I must
Explain this and all to you
Haven't you guessed it
Haven't you guessed it at all
This song is for you
This song is for you

Aaaaahhh
Harold Land with a wave of his hand,
Said goodbye to all that,
He paid his bills, stopped the Milk, then put on his hat,
He tried to say his last farewells as quickly as he could,
Promising that he would return, but doubted that he would,
Doubted that he would.

Now he's marching soldiers in the rain
As on to war they rode.
A long thin line of human mind,
Damnation as their load!
In the mud in coldness dark he'd shiver out his fear,
What disappointing sights he'd seen instead of one's so dear
instead of one's so dear

Going home, He's going home to the land he loved so well,
Going home, he fought for two whole years he never fell,
He's going home, He's going home.
Harold Land with a wave of his hand stood sadly on the stage,
Clutching red ribbons from a badge but he didn't look his age,
Only two years had passed between his leaving home and back,
He had lost his love and youth while leading the attack
Leading the attack

In conversation it could be said,
Well after war your heart is dead,
Well it's not hard to understand,
There is no heart in Harold Land.

There you have it
You see this love regretting
There's something wrong again
But you had it
In the palm of your hand

Your heart has started bleeding
You gotta get out
You're leaving
You're on your own forever

It's not the space or time or whether
You can leave
You want, you can't have
You need, you can't touch
You plead, it's enough, enough

There's something happening to ya
Love can see right through ya
In a world of make believe
Don't go throwing it all away

Hold on to love
Hold on to love
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready
With that electric feeling

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

The more and more yo uhear it
The more it seems to make sense
To hold love in the palm of your hand

But you think that round the corner
They're queuing up to hold her
But that won't make a difference in the end

There's never space or time or whether
Yo u can leave
You want, you can't have
You need, you can't touch
You plead, it's enough, enough

There's something happening to ya
Love can see right through ya
In a world of make believe
Don't go throwing it all away
Hold on to love
There's nothing more important
Treat it as a good thing
Be always ready
With that electric feeling

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard
You gotta let it go

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

You work so hard
To be in love with her
She tries so hard-a

The breakthrough was needed by the sign of the day
Singing out our evolution, children show the way
They made out a charter sealed with a song
It tooke me across the river to where I belong

CHORUS
Hurry home to your heart, hurry home to the voice
There are times for inner changes, be ready for the choice
Hurry home, said my love, hurry home to the stars
Start a new generation with the freedom that's ours

My friend said bear me witness, I'm coming alive
For the first time in our history no mountains to climb
Be the living soul of this time, be ye wise as the moon
Be the first new generation coming home, coming soon
They call it the cleansing of the loneliest soul
It's an honour to be alive, from this love we'll never fall

Hurry home to your heart, hurry home to the voice
There's a new point to living and a freedom of choice
There's a call throughout the kingdom, there's a call throughout the land
Be as clear as the stars above, holding love in your hand

CHORUS

We're gonna change our history, we're gonna change our style
They've been watching for many years, we're growing so wild
Be the children of the future, be the children of the age
We'll be standing there being counted with the strength that it takes

CHORUS

Hurry home to your heart, hurry home to the voice
Hurry home to your love, hurry home now
Hurry home to your voice

After the first embrace from you my senses knew
The look of love was in your eyes
and after we first make love our senses tingle to
Thetouch oh how we hypnotize

Oh, to get the feeling on and on
Oh, just to get the feeling

Holding you closer in my arms we drift to heaven
Bringing in the morning light
And after all is said and done there's only us
We can make it right

So, our love will carry on and on
Now our love will be free, be free.

And when we play, love don't delay, I hear you now
For what was then, is what is now, anyhow
As I became a guest of love's tune hear again
We'll carry on together like today.

After the first embrace from you I want you too
After the first embrace from you I want you too

If it wasn't for love
The moon would disappear
The seas would crash into the land
The sun would not appear
The tears would dry up in the sand

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The children of the sun
They would all but melt away
Believe me, that would be
An unncessary day-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
I'd still be all alone
And completely in the dark
No friends would help me through the night
No singing in the park-oh, my
If it wasn't for love

All we need is the truth in our hand
Someone to call a friend
Never fear the darkness
All we need is just the sun in the sky
And the hope of a summer to come
With the meaning of love


If it wasn't for love
Well, how do you expect
A woman or a man
They'd dry up all inside
As if life has never begun

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The world would disappear
And we would fly off to the sky
The hatred and the sorrow would be
Showing in our eyes-oh, y
If it wasn't for love

When the moment of truth comes alive
How we'll rejoice and sing the blues away
There's no telling just how we will feel
So important is that very day

We'll imagine a change in our heart
Sometimes it's hard to explain the truth
But we'll see and will know
There's no doubt about it
The meaning of love

If it wasn't for love
The moon would disappear
The seas would crash into the land
The sun would not appear
And tears would dry up in the sand

If it wasn't for love

If it wasn't for love
The c
