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)

* Lyrics by: Giorgio Moroder; Pete Belotte

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

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

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

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

I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by the river
Drifting I turned on up stream
Bound for my forgiver
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me
Leaving no trace
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Beg to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA'

He spoke of lands not far
Nor lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly
Checked the time
If I was late
I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA, LA AHA'

Hearing
Hearing hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories
It is no lie I see deeply into the future
Imagine everything
You're close
And were you there
To stand so cautiously at first
And then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
I bid it to return
To hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
LA AH LA AH AH AH

Hearing
Hearing
Hearing
Hearing
Hearing

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

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

Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.
Let these words,
Please, let this song
Take you so
Completely.
You have the gift of love.
You have the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.
Be the light.
For once, be sure.
Be the light
you are.
You are the sound of love.
You are the sound of life.
Take whatever you need.
More will come as you reopen
All your senses changing.
Once you have seen,
Be awake to this life song.
Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.
You are the gift of love.
You are the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.

Thou art mother, thou art father,
thou art friend and companion
Thou art knowledge and wealth,
thou art all in all
Lead us from the unreal to the real
Lead us form ignorance to light
lead us from death to immortality
Manifest through and through
Protect us with your sweet benign presence
We offer this meditation,
body, mind
and spirit
Past, present and future to be
for thou art all in all

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.

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.
