When I was very young so many songs were sung
So much wasted time on an uphill climb But you where always there, a feeling in the air There was nothing to fear you were so near Now you are here once again As I stand in your presence I can feel the quiet patience of your gaze Like an old superstition You are haunting all my dreams and waking days (Chorus) All my life I knew you were waiting, revelation anticipating All is well, the search is over, let the truth be known Let it be shown (give me a glimpse of home) There's no resisting you among the chosen few It's hard to be sure, it's hard to endure And when I hear your voice I know I have the choice To pursue an ideal, something so real Now I've got nothing to lose As I see your reflection All the answers I desire become so clear Like a page that is turning I can look into the future without fear You're in my rock and roll, you're in my very soul Though it's heavy to bear, it's a feeling so rare And it's a mystery, the way it's meant to be Can we ever know, we're moving so slow There ain't enough time in the world As I reach up the ladder There is something ever higher to perceive Like a fire that is burning In my heart I know I surely must believe |

You say it's time to stay behind
All I wanted was to hold you All I wanted was to touch you No need for blame cause we're not the same All I wanted was to love you That's all I wanted How many times will it take Hurting me the way you do How many times till I break You're hurting me the way I'm loving you the way I do It's not so strange for us to change All I wanted was to love you that's all I wanted How many times will it take Hurting me the way you do How many times till I break You're hurting me the way I'm loving you the way I do |

All the world's forgiving the change is all around And people everywhere have seen the light in what they've found It's a happy place in the human race When all our lives are lived forgiving All the world's for living when love is what you find Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show It's great when life is full of living Everyone's aware they know to change the world we've got to care And people all should know should have happened long ago Or could it be that I just now found out Life is meant to share and it means the same thing everywhere Living everyday, helping people on their way Cause sometimes life gives everyone some doubts Can I have time? Is it right what I feel? At times I doubt what I normally know is real But right now I don't know what to do And it's all because of you I could tell you if I knew that you'd believe As slight and elusive as life sometimes is Right or wrong as we both know we all can be I could never have denied that I need you by my side 'Cause without you life don't seem that much to me I can see an old man cry, it's his time to die And life no longer gives him any breaks He hasn't got a home, no one to call his own Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take When the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it? What can you do? All the world's forgetting the hate that filled our hearts The times of selfish reasoning that keeps all apart This world was meant to share, let them know you care By making someone's life worth living All the world's believing that this felling's got to stay till all the world is living till all the world is giving till all the world is loving every day |

I still believe in what you say I still believe that it could work ok But love is just another game you play You'll never change your mind You exist so free and clear Let no one touch you let no one near I think you're just someone afraid of fear Or what you just might find I can see them all lining up outside your front door Filthy minds and terrible habits are interesting (Chorus) Sure O but look at me now if I've changed tell me how O I'd do anything for you I'm sick of fighting but I need you so You tell me lies but I can't let go I want to take you out but you say no Think you're ashamed of me You give me headaches o you got your gall If it weren't for me you wouldn't have nuttin' at all I fell for you 'caus you were nice and tall I liked what I could see I could be the keeper of fortunes if I was inclined Let me know that you're standing beside me I'll give them a sign O but (Chorus) I could lead an army to victory or win in a race I could do it if only I knew that you'd save me a place O but (Chorus) |

The mist of time is still concealing
The vision that I seek Those who died have all borne witness If only they would speak Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment Were you with me? Have we done it all before, is there really so much more? Now and then we've all been given A glimpse of bygone days I'd give all to see it clearly Not shrouded in the haze Yet I saw it all inside me, for a moment Were you with me? Have we done it all before, is there really so much more? Each man has a memory Much more than the eye can see Yet still others linger deep inside you Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide you Look beyond your eyes At the dark and moody skies For they're standing in your way And I feel the light of day Now the earth gives forth its secrets Held in mountain sea and plain They have never been forgotten Only locked inside my brain While I slept I had a vision, I remember You were with me We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door |

As I look out in the night and count the stars all shining bright I wonder where I am and where I'm going Sometimes I think I've lived before I seem to see beyond a door But it's just a crazy notion I leave showing I live my life as sensitive as possible then one day Maybe I'll wake up young again with feelings of a new day But what we feel I know we'll, miss and someday I'll look back at this And know by then the life that we were meant for... but are you leaving Leaving my back door You want the world to give you some you fight a war that's never won and you Come back scarred 'caus you've seen who's really dying You reach a point where nothing lasts you play a part that someone casts you into Now their machines keep right on lying I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer Just give the pain an empty place away from one another Let's seal our words with a kiss 'cause someday we'll look back at this We'll know by then the life that we were meant for... but are you leaving Leaving by my back door |

Her letters gave me purpose,
Her letters gave me pride Armies far across the ocean Guns and letters by our side It was someone else's homeland It was someone else's war But at the line of the 38th parallel It was her I fought them for Her victory garden grew from weeds and from stone I smelled those flowers in my sleep The day I left as we were standing alone She swore to me those dreams would keep And the bells of St. James were ringing The bells of St. James were ringing down Lifting the eyes of those homeward bound I don't remember when those words changed Like Kansas summer turns to fall But she quit talking 'bout the future Never mentioned dreams at all I don't blame my enemies and I don't blame my wife For love fires that fleeted long ago But when she wrote me about this change in her life There was just one thing I had to know Are the bells of St. James still ringing The bells of St. James still ringing down Lifting the eyes of those homeward bound |

Well it looks like it might rain but rain ain't what we need
Sunshine and a war machine I'm gettin ready for another stampede Grease the gears with blood paint it black as night Ride through the city like a Trojan horse Convinced what you're doin's all right Hold on 'till the river goes down the river goes to the sea Hold on the rive's comin' down on me The killin' field has come to main street Scatter guns in the liquor store Rifled sinkhole graves in concrete it's out of hand At black fathom 4 Fallen leaves turn grey faces cold and worn Memories of a better time swept away like a firestorm Who can get it straight who can think it through When every time the telephone rings You think it's someone comin' after you Your mamma's shootin' Gallery wages Your daddy don't give a damn no more Keep these animals breakin' cages violent times At black fathom 4 Walk into my world where brave can get you dead You get together and a fight breaks out Someone didn't understand what you said Walk into my world anger's in my soul Quick money give me double trouble Friends are doing hard times in the hole Children crying sniper thunder case the alleys and the corridors Don't look back it ain't no wonder it's open season At black fathom 4 |

City resting on a hill
Can your walls repel the tide of change Under Pantocrator's rule Did your golden domes reveal The frailty of the consequence The conqueror was real Where the Emperor once reigned Only shadows of the glories remain No one sings your plaintive song Of the Kontakion strain Echoing through heaven's gate Too lovely to sustain We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium Once your borders had no end And your dream was like a shining light To the nations you surround Did your golden domes reveal The frailty of the consequence The conqueror was real We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium...

Sweet child of innocence Living in the present tense Father Time will take his toll Rack your body and steal your soul What became of all the years Are you drowning in your tears Who will catch you when you fall Who will hear you when you call I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through I will take you through the door Who do you think you are Try to live forever and you won't get far I wait behind your door Makes no difference if you're rich or poor Though you're weary and afraid Still you try to flee my blade Come and walk in my new land If you'll only take my hand In the image of those who have walked before me here I am cast in the web of an ancient spell I am holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream Everything's much clearer now We live within a dream and never wake Judge not by what you see More than you can count are here with me Give up your foolish pride All that walk the earth have died |

Once carried through the current
And being swept away The king is in the closet He's hiding from today And though he owns all fortunes This room is where he'll stay And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey Gazing out the window Of the 42nd second floor He is separate from all others No one knocks upon his door And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes And his ears will never hear the children's cries Once proud and full of passion He fought the cause of man Many people loved his courage Many followed his command He changed the old into the new And the course of things to come And then one day they noticed he was gone At first it didn't matter Nobody seemed to care They all became too busy To find him anywhere So no one knew not even him The problems he would find On the day he journeyed deep into his mind I close my eyes I go far away Away from this battlefield In my dreams well here I will enjoy it Where innocence plays with all the laughing children The kind who are crying right now A taste of freedom from the pain Of everything here I see Life is sweet but I took it all for granted And now I don't know if I could even tell you Just what we permit, we allow Allow me to forget the life I've made my own I've held this nation in my hand And yet it's not my home Allow me just one answer just one reason why Why this refugee of the family of man must die Tell me why Daydreams filled his nighttimes And night dreams filled his days Confusion and uncertainty A puzzled mind of haze You thought he was so powerful And set upon his ways Well he left us all to travel through this maze I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead And with him died the chronicles That no one ever read The closet's fully empty now It's occupied by none I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done |

Cold grey morning without sunlight ghostly mist on the horizon
Empty visions of a world gone mad paints a picture so revealing Through my window dark tomorrow I can hear the sirens wailing For the future we are holding on as the ship of fools is sailing Such a long time such a long time We are waiting for a peace that's lasting Reaching upward sliding downward looks like just another Cold grey morning Hardly breathing hope is fading it's the end of the beginning Children playing in the empty streets it's a cold grey morning |

The streets of the city are barren All the windows and doors have been closed As the night draws near You can feel their fear Their freedom is just an illusion And they tell us that love is a lie Can it all be true What can one man do (Chorus) See the pages as they turn Never will the children learn Born as a prisoner in a curtain of iron Never will the pages turn The City of Gold's in the distance And they've already forgotten their dream Visions slowly fade In this land of shade (Chorus) As the power grows, darkness spreading Hope is still alive, though we're dreading What the future holds, no more need to Fear what all men face Only good can win the race Rumors speak of war, all the nations Turmoil in the streets, tribulations Now it's plain to see All the prophecies are taking place Only good can win the race There are fragments of truth still remaining And they bring them the light of the world To this hope we cling Till the bells will ring See the pages as they turn In their wisdom we will learn Our bloody history soon will resolve See the pages as they turn In their wisdom we will learn Free from the prison, a Curtain of Iron |

Every day she gets a little weaker
The beauty she once knew has come and gone We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters The blood is on our hands, the time has come And now she's gonna die We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures There's poison in the sea and in the air But worst of all we've learned to live without her We've lost the very meaning of our lives And now she's gonna die Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom But we were much too smart to live her way With greed and lust we tried to rise above her The ignorance of man will reach an end And now she's gonna die |

Why can't you see where we have been You tell me the pain is still growing you tell me tell me who'll win I feel for you you know what I'm saying But I've got to do what's right in my head I've got to ride ride rocket ride Carry me quick to the one's who've cried I'm a saint I'm a sinner but you decide In desperate times Sled sled rocket sled Carry me quick to the one's who've bled I'm a saint I'm a sinner and these are desperate times I would give my soul to carry your burden I would give my soul cause I know you still grieve Where will we go to hide from their blindness Where will we go if we don't both believe Bad blood rains down we've got to take cover Cold blood rains down who can find any peace |

I'm livin' above the fault line
Like a bird up on a wire I come in from the cold at night And I stand next to the fire Now, most times I can win one but someday I could lose Then I'll have to start all over again And shake off all these blues 'Cause you tore down all the fences And you put me in the clear Then I left my old skin behind And I started to disappear Now there's something in the kitchen And it's cookin' mighty fine There's a good one in the oven And I'm sure gonna get in line In the interest of my nutrition I'm about to take the plunge I'm gonna take the whole thing in And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge Need a map with new direction And a compass for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear I open the box and look inside And I don't like what I see I turn the key and take a ride In a wind that's blowin' free In the interest of my education I'm about to read the book Then I'll open my eyes in the morning And I'll take another look Need a map with new directions And a compass for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear (instrumental) Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear (instrumental to fade out) |

On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I
saw the shore of a distant land where/ Promise lay in wait/ And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls/ Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan / With a strength that's not my own, Imust rise And I...will bear the light, ( and the vision leads me onward) / That blind....men have their sight / I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share / In the joy of setting countless captives free / But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away / From a calling that began in purity And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan / With a strength that's not my own, I must rise Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on / Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore / Dream on... Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide / Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you / Be my soloace and my guide...by my side And I...will walk with you / On the shores of the land ofpromise / That blind...men see you too / I'd sail a thou- sand seas to make it so |

Who sees you when you're sleeping
who knows the thoughts you're keeping You're reaching out your hand 'cause someone's calling Don't open your eyes too soon 'cause it might be me The darkened sidestreets that you've taken faces all around say you're forsaken You see yourself and someone else behind you Don't open your eyes too soon it might not be me (Chorus) Haunted by my broken dreams haunted by my empty screams Creeping cautions 'round the corner climbing slowly out the window Running fast but getting nowhere Don't know if I'll ever make it back alive (Chorus) |

Only for a moment and the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Oh Now, don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind The wind |

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people Where do they all come from ? All the lonely people Where do they all belong ? Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near. Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there What does he care? All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? Ah, look at all the lonely people Ah, look at all the lonely people Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name Nobody came Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved All the lonely people Where do they all come from? All the lonely people Where do they all belong? |

There's a hole in the wall
With a light shining in And it's letting me know to get up It's time to begin Oh there is nothing to lose 'Cause it's already lost In a runaway world Of confusion I'm gonna take it That's why I fight fire with fire Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin' Fire with fire I don't want to lose this flamin' desire Standing alone In a crowded room I can feel a chill in the air I'm shakin' I'm miles away I want to cry out loud I want to fight till the end I won't let 'em take me alive And you know I'll fight fire with fire Oh I'm burning inside and my heart is a-cryin' Fire with fire 'Cause I'm never gonna lose this flamin' desire |

Freak of nature fact or fright
Puts up with pain puts up with spite Scarred up shoes have lost their sheen It looks like better days they've seen Chameleon man naive tycoon Will eat the poor with silver spoon He'll jest and jeer through looking glass But nest right near the upper class Who'll be the first one pointing at the simple man Now I know I'm only lucky every freak of nature should know How to run the whole freakin' show Freak of nature'd rather be no less a man than you or me He'd rather look the other way choose to fight another day I take things for granted turn the tables 'round What if I was down To much goin' on runnin' out of time And I don't understand it |

It's no funny hanging around winter seems so numbing Getting fat where I sit down do you suppose it's old age coming I get this feeling I'm no good for nothing life has led me wrong Once in a while it makes it all worthwhile if I can sing this song Got to rock on I can't be this way I'm hanging around but wait till music's in season That's when I'm high that is how I play and I do it the best that's all I need for a reason Can't think straight can't think at all staring out the window Hear the band I hear them call everything will disappear and I get the feeling I can conquer anything gets in my way Don't need no doctor 'caus I know exactly what I need today I Got to rock on I can't be this way I'm hanging around but wait till music's in season That's when I'm high that is how I play and I do it the best that's all I need for a reason The sun beats down upon me and it looks as tough that spring Has waited long enough to get here she knows that I must Sing about her future oh sing about her past I love to play my music And I try to make it last but sometimes summer comes too fast I got to rock on I can't be this way (cont |

I got an attitude, it's a little rude
A humdinger I'm in a dangerous place; I need to win the race It's a dead ringer I'm on a windin' road; I got an overload It's a redline Life is movin' fast But it can never last When everything's so fine Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm having so much fun Grand fun... grand fun alley Here in the alley Ain't had my fill of fun; I'm underneath the gun Time is flyin' If you pass me by, You know I can't deny That I'm still tryin' There's a turn ahead; I'm runnin' out of lead Feel like retreating And the fuel gauge is down; I'm gettin' out of town Can't take a beating Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm back in the alley again Grand fun... grand fun alley Here at the end of time Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm still havin' so much fun Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm back in the alley If you wait too long, You can't afford the wrong It's a doozy When the times are good, They still cut you down Just like an Uzi If the price is high, You better look to the sky 'Cause there's a call in Everything's gonna change; It's getting very strange So take it all in Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm havin' so much fun Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm kicking back in the alley again Grand fun... grand fun alley Here at the end of time Grand fun... grand finale I'm back in the alley (instrumental to fade out) |

Look in the mirror and tell me Just what you see What have the years of your life Taught you to be Innocence dyin' in so many ways Things that you dream of are lost Lost in the haze (Chorus) Hold on, Baby Hold on 'Cause it's closer than you think And you're standing on the brink Hold on, Baby Hold on 'Cause there's something on the way Your tomorrow's not the same as today Don't you recall what you felt When you weren't alone Someone who stood by your side A face you have known Where do you run when it's too much to bear Who do you turn to in need When nobody's there (Chorus) Outside your door He is waiting Waiting for you Sooner or later you know He's got to get through No hesitation and no holding back Let it all go and you'll know You're on the right track (Chorus) |

The flower dies the camera never lies fire baptizes
The truth is light right or wrong is never black or white We all wear disguises If a picture could talk we would all look away There'd be too many voices Rain come on and wash away this hot city skin Pictures and memories and hope once again So many times I see you in my mind when I'm not trying to I see a trellis gate and I run like a child who's late Whose friends are waiting for him Well I never stopped to realize what was passing me by But love has a texture Catch a glimpse a reflection Of what would should or could have been Pictures and memories and hope once again I wonder if we know the future is now I wonder if we know the future is here |

It's a strange aberration, this brainstorm of youth
Though it's lost in translation from fancy to truth It's hopelessly human, both inside and out A joyous occasion, no reason to doubt It's easy somehow, what once was elusive is calling me now I am waiting, I am patiently, Doing nothing, in a reverie Climbing higher, seeing everything Interacting, slowly, spiralling I am giving, while I'm watching the Life I'm living, precious energy Escalating, what was once just a game It's never the same, no one's to blame It's a strange situation, there's no cause for alarm All these hot licks and rhetoric Surely do you no harm They're hopelessly human, both inside and out A joyous occasion, there's no reason to doubt When each word is read, would you know the difference If nothing was said All is rhythm, all is unity I am laughing, as it's meant to be Just amusing, I am using the Word was given, making harmony Moving slowly, dancing aimlessly Endless circle, turning fearlessly Resurrected, falling down again Introspective, I'm just stating my views Now you can choose, what do you feel Is it for real this time |

She strides down 7th street
Smokey night - summer heat Commotion - concrete fires Where neon souls are burning His whole life - a hung jury She was the crime - Wheel's gonna pay She's got blue steel; cocked and locked She is Justice - Justice is burning She's turning the tables upside down She's like a flame; she's burning higher She's like a house on fire - House on fire Wheel feels lucky - drinkin' blind One track mind - sheer distraction Steps on cracks, breakin' backs Nothin's sacred on the other side He turns left - she turns right They both step through the veil of night Cold blue steel reflection And Wheel's got nowhere to hide She's turning the tables upside down She's like a flame; she's burning higher She's like a house on fire - House on fire Players of passion playing with fire Streetlights are flashing but who are they for Fisted love fueling fantasy Is love worth the fire he's asking for |
