from The Moody Blues, The Moody Blues - A Question Of Balance (1970)
How is it we are here, on this path we walk,
In this world of pointless fear, filled with empty talk, Descending from the apes as scientist-priests all think, Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink. Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain. Her love is like a fire burning inside, Her love is so much higher it can't be denied, She sends us her glory, it's always been there, Her love's all around us, it's there for you and me to share. Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain. How is it we are here How is it we are here How is it we are here |

You know he's moving fast,
Be he's still going slow, He's ahead in the race, And there is not far to go, And your load is so heavy And your legs want to rest. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. You think he's way up in front But he's so far behind. He's asleep in the grass, And he's run out of time. While your load was so heavy You never wanted to stop. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. Your friend is heavy But he was ready And never stopped for a while And while you were sleeping He went on keeping the final line in his mind. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. Your friend is heavy But he was ready And never stopped for a while And while you were sleeping He went on keeping the final line in his mind. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. |

Tuesday afternoon.
I'm just beginning to see, Now I'm on my way. It doesn't matter to me, Chasing the clouds away. Something calls to me. The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why. Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh. I'm looking at myself, reflections of my mind. It's just the kind of day to leave myself behind. So gently swaying through the fairy-land of love, If you could just come with me and see the beauty of Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon. I'm just beginning to see, Now I'm on my way. It doesn't matter to me, Chasing the clouds away. Something calls to me. The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why. Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh. |

My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears At last my port's in view Now that I've discovered you CHORUS Oh I'd give my life so lightly For my gentle lady Give it freely and completely To my lady As life goes drifting by Like a breeze she'll gently sigh And slowly bow her head Then you'll hear her softly cry. CHORUS Words that you say when we're alone Though actions speak louder than words But all I can say is I love you so To drive away all my hurt CHORUS Set sail towards the sun Feel the warmth that's just begun Share each and every dream They belong to everyone |

a wonderful day for passing my way
Knock on my door and even the score With your eyes CHORUS Lovely to see you again my friend. Walk along with me to the next bend. Dark cloud of fear is blowing away Now that you're here, you're going to stay, 'Cause it's CHORUS Tell us what you've seen in faraway forgotten land Where empires have turned back to sand. Wonderful day for passing my way. Knock on my door and even the score With your eyes. |

I've been thinking
The way people do 'Bout the things that matter To me and you I've decided to do what I can and to find the kind of man I really am I can see The world from here And it sometimes makes me Want to disappear Back to nature And where we belong And with just one truth I've found You can't go wrong CHORUS Wherever you go Whatever you do Whatever you say Say, say, say Say it with love. I remember A time long ago When I heard those guitars That I worship so I was captured I wanted to stay And to hear that kind of music Everyday Heard the songs around the world Saw the smiling faces On the boys and girls I was destined To play come what may And there's just one thing I knew I had to say CHORUS Underneat A sea of doubt There's a million voices shouting Let me out, let me out When we go We never return 'Cos there's just one lesson That we've got to learn |

Your Wildest Dreams"
Once upon a time Once when you were mine I remember skies Reflected in your eyes I wonder where you are I wonder if you Think about me Once upon a time In your wildest dreams Once the world was new Our bodies felt the morning dew That greets the brand new day We couldn't tear ourselves away I wonder if you care I wonder if you still remember Once upon a time In your wildest dreams And when the music plays And when the words are Touched with sorrow When the music plays I hear the sound I had to follow Once upon a time Once beneath the stars The universe was ours Love was all we knew And all I knew was you I wonder if you know I wonder if you think about it Once upon a time In your wildest dreams And when the music plays And when the words are Touched with sorrow When the music plays And when the music plays I hear the sound I had to follow Once upon a time Once upon a time Once when you were mine I remember skies Mirrored in your eyes I wonder where you are I wonder if you Think about me Once upon a time In your wildest dreams In your wildest dreams In your wildest dreams |

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send 끝없이 향해 가는 하얀 공단(貢緞)같은 밤 보낼 생각도 없이 썼었던 편지Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 이 두 눈으로 항상 그리워 했던 그녀 무엇이 진실인지 더 이상 말할 수가 없어요Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you 당신을 사랑하니까요 그래요, 사랑해요 얼마나 당신을 사랑하는지Gazing at people Some hand in hand Just what I'm going through They can understand 손을 맞잡은 연인들을 바라봐도 내가 겪는 아픔을 그들은 이해하지 못해요Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be You will be in the end 어떤 사람들은 옹호하지도 못할 생각을 내게 말하려 하죠 결국에는 원하는대로 될 수 있을 거라면서요And I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you 당신을 사랑해요 그래요, 사랑해요 내가 당신을 얼마나 사랑하는지Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send 끝없이 향해 가는 하얀 공단에 싸인 밤 보낼 마음도 없이 썼었던 편지Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 이 두 눈으로 항상 그리워 했던 그녀 무엇이 진실인지 더 이상 말할 수가 없어요Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you (2x) 당신을 사랑하니까요 그래요, 사랑해요 얼마나 당신을 사랑하는지Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energies spent 모여 드는 어둠을 깊이 들이 마시고 방마다 희미해져 가는 불빛을 보라 침실에서 뒤돌아 후회하는 사람들 헛된 욕정을 분출해 버린 또 하루Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up And suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young 열정의 연인들은 하나가 되어 뒹굴고 홀로 되어 슬피 우는 사람 새로이 어머니가 된 여인은 아이를 안아 젖을 먹이고 어르신들은 젊음을 아쉬워 하네Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow, white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion 밤을 지배하는 냉혹한 천체는 색의 구분을 없애고 빨간색을 회색, 노랑, 흰색으로 보이게 하지만 우리는 무엇이 옳은지 무엇이 환상인지 알지 못하네 |

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war? 'Cause when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door Because the truth is hard to swallow That's what the war of love is for It's not the way that you say it When you do those things to me It's more the way that you mean it When you tell me what will be And when you stop and think about it You won't believe it's true That all the love you've been giving Has all been meant for you I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me through Between the silence of the mountains And the crashing of the sea There lies a land I once lived in And she's waiting there for me But in the grey of the morning My mind becomes confused Between the dead and the sleeping And the road that I must choose I'm looking for someone to change my life I'm looking for a miracle in my life And if you could see what it's done to me To lose the love I knew Could safely lead me to The land that I once knew To learn as we grow old The secrets of our soul It's not the way that you say it when you do those things to me It's more the way you really mean it when you tell me what will be Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door With a thousand million questions About hate and death and war 'Cause when we stop and look around us There is nothing that we need In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed Why do we never get an answer When we're knocking at the door |

Never dreamt I would hope
While I count the miles Through the wind and the rain I can see your smile There ain't no turning back I can see it in the distance Got it in my sight Like a vision like a face Coming out of the sky You were there not a dream You were there in my eyes There ain't no turning back I can see it in the distance Touch it through the night Driving into the light When I'm on my own When I'm all alone Won't you meet me halfway Won't you meet me halfway Is it a dream? Is it a dream coming true? Meet me halfway Like a vision like a face Coming out of the sky You were there not a dream You were there in my eyes There are no words to say I can see you in the distance Hear you through the night Ain't no easy way When you're on your own When you're all alone Won't you meet me halfway Won't you meet me halfway Is it a dream? Is it a dream coming true? Meet me halfway |

Never let yourself get down You may never get back You may never ever turn it round You may say it took you by surprise Never ending Never changing I didn't see through your disguise It took my breath away Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet Gave way Did you ever want to take a chance Never thought the time would come round Quite so fast Would you walk right thro' that wall And keep on walking till you Couldn't stand on your feet no more But you came and took me by surprise When you stole up on me I didn't see thro' your disguise It took my breath away Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet - gave way Where were you When I needed you Where were you When I needed you Where were you Where were you - I'm holding on Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet - gave way Under my feet The earth shook Right under my feet Gave way |

Won't you take me back to school? I need to learn the golden rule. Won't you lay it on the line? I need to hear it just one more time. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Each and every heart it seems, Is bounded by a world of dreams. Each and every rising sun, Is greeted by a lonely one. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Cause out on the ocean of life my love. There a so many storms we must rise above. Can you hear the spirit calling, as it's carried across the waves? You're already falling it's calling you back to face the music. And the song that is coming through. You're already falling the one that it's calling is you. Make a promise take a vow. And trust your feelings it's easy now. Understand The Voice within. And feel a change already beginning. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Tonight? Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? And how many words have I got to say? And how many times will it be this way? With your arms around the future and your back up against the past. You're already falling it's calling you on to face the music. And the song that is coming through. You're already falling the one that it's calling is you. Each and every heart it seems, Is bounded by a world of dreams. Each and every rising sun, Is greeted by, a lonely, lonely one. Won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? (Repeat) From: HBailE |

I could see that moment of truth when you spoke to me In my world, it's never too late we can both be free In my world, it's heaven on earth when you're near If you knew, the changes I feel that you put me through And you do, I see in your eyes that you really do And it's true, it happened so fast that it must be true In my world, it's heaven on earth when you're near And I'm only just beginning to believe what you have done How you turned it upside down this world of mine And it seems while I was looking it was right in front of me All the time In my world, it's heaven on earth when you're close to me I could see that moment of truth when you spoke to me In my world, it's never too late we can both be free In my world, it's heaven on earth when you're near 'Cos I'm only just beginning to believe what you have done How you turned it upside down this world of mine And it seems while I was looking it was right in front of me All the time If you knew the changes I feel that you put me through And you do, I see in your eyes that you really do And it's true, it happened so fast that it must be true In my world, it's heaven on earth when you're near |

Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change Like a river running down Down to the sea And if you need an explanation I defy you to explain But something's not the same And it's bothering me I think we see where I went wrong I think I see what's going on Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away, my friend Into the setting sun And the rivers running down Down to the sea I let love slip right through my fingers And I watched it drift away But still I had to say What was written for me I thought I'd end up as the hero Thought the glory would be mine Very soon I was to find It wasn't to be 'Cause in this part I've got to play It doesn't quite turn out that way Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away my friend Into the setting sun And the river's running down Down to the sea |

'Your painted smile hides you still
While you search yourself within Yesterday and tomorrow's found Fused as one upon solid ground As all around the milling crowd Confuse themselves with raging sounds And their loves forgetfulness abounds So be thankful for your greasepainted clown If lonliness wears the crown of the VETERAN COSMIC ROCKER' |

The lights go down ?the stage is set.
A man in the wings breaks out in sweat. A backstage-joker spiked his coke while The dressing room was full of smoke. A crowd of fools got him high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He steps into the remaining light ?br />The crowd go wild ?he?s outta sight. Arms held high in a sign of peace. His manager signed a one-night lease. The house is full, getting high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He struts, he strolls, His love is rock and roll. He?s the veteran cosmic rocker! He steps into the remaining light ?br />The crowd go wild ?he?s outta sight. Arms held high in a sign of peace. His manager signed a one-night lease. The crowd are full, getting high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He struts, he strolls, His life is rock and roll. ?br />He?s the veteran cosmic rocker! He?s afraid that he will die! |

I took a ride in a limousine, I took a road I'd never been. I met a stranger by the way, His coat was torn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, Steppin' in a slide zone. He told me where a river flows, He showed me how the apple grows. He told me of a magic stream, His face was worn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. He went to find a shooting star, Around the bend, that's where they are. I went along just for the ride, Suddenly I began to slide. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. The air raced by there was no sound, We drifted high above the ground. And then he said you know this place, And then a smile lit up his face. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone... And there was something there I know. Suddenly I began to fall, I looked around and tried to call. Standing in a slide zone, He had me steppin' in a time zone. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Help me please, I thought I said, Then something happened in my head. Music came from all around, And I knew what I had found. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Steppin' in a slide zone, He had me falling through a time zone. Slide zone, slide zone, Slide zone, time zone |

The dawn crept into by room
And stole my dream Now I'll never know Just what it means Or what could have been Yet still I try to lie But I'm seen Under moonshine that's where I've been Under moonshine I'm clearly seen Under moonshine that's where I've been Under moonshine I'm clearly seen Creator of dreams that melt with the sun I'll send you the things this man has done He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one But I miss now that he's gone I sure miss him now that he's gone Sure I feel the pain Deep inside I pour like rain Remember when you smile Love's in your eyes The world keeps turning The grass still grows green The fruit on my tree Is the biggest you've ever seen Which way up you know when you're down They've gotta stand tall With your feet on the ground You must stand tall With your feet on the ground Or maybe I'm crazy Also they say I'm lazy But I'll have my days When I do as I please For you won't see the woods While you're a tree No you'll never see the woods While you're a tree Yes I'm crazy Also they say I'm lazy But I'll have my days When I do as I please You won't see the woods While you're a tree No you'll never see the woods While you're a tree |

What mattered to me was the right to be free
Like I'll be someday I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way The places I've seen and the roads in between Make me wonder why I'm searching for my dreams up in the sky I heard the call In the mirror I saw the writing on the wall And I had to fall in love with you The face that I've known seems so lost and alone When you're far away I'm comin' for you baby right away The places I've seen and the roads in between Make me wonder why I'm searching for me dreams up in the sky I heard the call In the mirror I saw the writing on the wall And I had to fall in love with you What mattered to me was the right to be free Like I'll be someday I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way |

Little guy, little hands, little eyes and lots of time
What you gonna be what you gonna see When your eyes are level with mine I'll be level with you I don't know what I would do If I had to face the things that you've got coming down the line Lots of luck, lots of health, lots of wealth, little pain That's what I want for you but there's little I can do To put you on the gravy train I'll be level with you You'll always end up coming through But you'll find yourself lost in space now and again But you have to have a world you can live in Not a world where all the hope is gone And as long as we are here together We must build a home for the free Filled with pity Not pain That's loving and sane Not divided by hate And living in spite 'Til it's too late Life is here Love will come in the end give it time There's wonders still to do and I know you'll find it's true That yours will be bigger than mine I'll be level with you The one thing I hope you will do is tell me about what You're doing from time to time |

Left of the seashore of sleep Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme Lost in the desert of time Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I don't remember what was said In the confusion that night I only know what's on my mind What's in the future we will decide Time waits for no one at all No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I've shattered the illusion Of fortune and of fame But darling now I know you Life could never be the same Oh no... don't leave me driftwood On the shore Time waits for no one my love No, not even you You thought you'd seen it all before You really thought you knew I've shattered the illusion Of forture and of fame I'm waking up I'm reaching up I'm getting up from this game Oh no... don't leave me driftwood On the shore Oh no... don't, don't leave me driftwood On the shore... |

One step into the light
One step away from night It's the hardest step you're gonna take The ship to take you there Is waiting at the head Of the stairs that lead up through your opening mind Above the dark despair Shines a light that we can share Close your eyes and look up in between your brows Then slowly breathing in Feel the life force streaming in Hold it there, then send it back to him All the old things are returning Cosmic circles ever turning All the truth we've been yearning for Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul The river of living breath Is flowing through the sun He was there before the earth began The world will drag on you Use his love to pull you through Find the mission of your life and start to be All the old things are returning Cosmic circles ever turning All the truth we've been yearning for Life is our saviour, saviour, saviour, save your soul There's one thing I can do Play my mellotron for you Try to blow away your city blues Your dreams are not unfound Get your feet back on the ground The truth will set us free, we cannot lose We cannot love, we just have to choose |

It's like awaking from a dream
All I remember is a lullaby I couldn't tell you where I've been A thousand images just flutter by Takin' my time in a white limousine If I was the King, she'd be my Queen And my thoughts are growing louder And my mind has lost its way And the flames are getting higher everyday My mind is back behind my eyes And there before me sits a butterfly And as I watch, she gently cries Can there be anyone who'll pity her? How many faces have all of you been? If I was the King She'd be my Queen And my thoughts are getting louder And my mind has lost its way And the flames are getting higher everyday My mind is back behind my eyes And there before me sits a butterfly And as I watch, she gently cries Can there be anyone who'll pity her? How many faces Have all of you been? If I was the King, she'd be my Queen And my thoughts are getting louder And my mind has lost its way And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day |

Pale the young squire who goes to fight
To die at his master's side Living is just a dream inside You ask me why he cried: What am I doin' here? What am I doin' here? Beautiful princess, fair and pale Stares out across the sea Alone in her castle dark and grey Her love she'll never see What am I doin' here? What am I doin' here? Tenderly bury the fair young dead Place a wooden cross at his head All the words you can say have been said It's for you my tears are shed What can be done, you won't believe Listen and you may see Everyone's dream is deep within Find it and you'll be free What am I doin' here? What am I doin' here? Tenderly bury the fair young dead Place a wooden cross at his head All the words you can say have been said It's for you my tears are shed Tenderly bury the fair young dead Place a wooden cross at his head All the words you can say have been said It's for you my tears are shed |

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room. Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy is spent. Impassioned lovers wrestle as one; Lonely man cries for love and has none; New mother picks up and suckles her son; Senior citizens wish they were young. Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight, Red is grey is yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion |

When I think of all the things that we've been through
And all the things we've yet to do, I... I start to realize The world is such a lonely place. Want to be with you I remember all the heartaches we have known, The angry nights when we were lonely. The jealousy and pain, Can we remain the same? The world will have to hold its breath. Want to be with you I don't need a reason, I don't need to understand. I just want to be, Want to be with you Only want your love, Only want you by my side, Only want to be, Want to be with you. And when I look back down that road I see the turnings that we both made, The choice we had to make The promises we break Are nothing more than memories. Want to be with you. The jealousy and pain, Can we remain the same? The world will have to hold its breath. Want to be with you. I don't need a reason, I don't need to understand. I just want to be, Want to be with you. Only want your love, Only want you by my side, Only want to be, Want to be with you. |

I'm looking for a better world
Where there's no more hurt, Where there's only hope For the eagle and the dove. I can see your face, Nothing can take your place If we sail away on a river of endless love. I'm living in the hands of time, On the wings of love, On the edge of night, Where there's darkness everywhere. I won't be denied, I'm never going to leave your side, I will always be On the river of endless love In the silence just before the dawn The shadows lose their form. We rise to greet the morning. In the calm that comes before the storm A troubled and a restless heart is born. The river of endless love I'm tearing down the walls of hate, Gonna start again, gonna turn it round, Gonna build it with a prayer. I can always dream And nothing is what it seems. If you lose your way You can always find us there. In the silence just before the dawn The shadows lose their form We rise to greet the morning In the calm that comes before the storm A troubled and a restless heart is born The river of endless love |

I need you like you need me
Truly and completely, never be apart I think that you should tell me Come right out and tell me Just what's in your heart And if you think that it's alright Let's make a deal and work it out We'll walk into the sunset you and I With no more alibis When we tell each other no more lies Well, truth is my addiction Stranger still than fiction, wider than the sky And songs that have such feeling Words that have such meaning Dreams that never die And if you think that it's alright Let's turn around and start again We'll walk beside the ocean hand in hand With no more alibis When we tell each other no more lies I sometimes think that maybe You're just a little girl You know I love you baby I've got to tell the world So that's the final story The truth in all it's glory See, how much I care You know you drive me crazy Thrill me and amaze me Drive me to despair And if you think that now feels right Let's close the door and dim the light We'll greet the dawn together side by side Just look into my eyes 'Cause you know I'll tell you no more lies |

Somewhere in the night
There's a heart that beats so fast I can feel the heat Of the fire in your eyes, Burning like a naked flame, Waiting for the ice to break, Counting down the days, Waiting for the weekend Lonely is the night. Silence is a friend to walk with, With no one else to talk to. But, on a Friday night, It's alright, it's alright. You can be who you want to be. Take off for the weekend. If you can dance you can dance with me 'cause it's Friday night. It's alright, it's alright. Nothing's gonna stop me now. I'm all wired up and ready to go, I'm on my way. Let's get on with the show Here comes the weekend. Here comes the weekend. Somewhere in the heat There's a heart that beats so fast I can hear your voice: Talk to me tonight. Taking a different face Every time I hear your name. I'm counting down the days Waiting for the weekend Lonely is the night When all are sleeping. Silence is a friend you walk with, With no one else to talk to But, on a Friday night, It's alright, it's alright. You can be who you want to be. Take off for the weekend. If you dance you can dance with me 'cause it's Friday night. It's alright, it's alright. Nothing's gonna stop me now, I'm all wired up and ready to go And I'm on my way.

I remember the taste of the vintage wine
From '63 through to '69 And I'm proud of the things we believed in then If I had the chance I'd go around again Oh, I tell you We were young and free Oh, I tell you 'Cause I was there, you see And I look to the future with open arms And the songs that flow from my old guitar And I want to be there when the music plays And the lights go up on the empty stage Oh, I tell you Music set me free Oh, I tell you It sounds so good to me And if you're into wandering Underneath the stars We'll take the trip together Through this magic world of ours And if you're still uncertain Just what we can be Well baby, make your mind up Get your things and follow me 'Cause if you're into romance, baby Love will find a way And if you're into dreaming Dream with me I remember the sound of the children's prayer The laughing eyes and the golden hair And as hard as I try, not a day goes by That I don't think of them I tell you We can be so free Oh, I tell you If you'll be there with me |

Is that the wind
On your face? Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? Feel the chill Of an empty space. Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? In the middle of the night Is that your heart you hear Or a train to nowhere, That pounding in your ear? Have you reached your breaking point? Have you reached your breaking point tonight? Only when you're sleeping can you drift away. No one can hurt you. Listen to the secret of your dreams. Though you want to sleep forever Still you must return Hands of ice Down your spine. Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? Feel the grip Of a clinging vine. Are you sure you're alone? Are you sure you're alone? In the middle of the night Is that your voice I hear Or the wind that's calling Back across the years? Have you reached your breaking point? Have you reached your breaking point tonight? |

I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew on a night in June I took a chance and I lost control Trying to find out why on a night in July Why this hesitation? I can feel that the night is slipping away Wanna drown in the ocean of your love Wanna dance in the moonlight Looking for a miracle Looking for a miracle I left the city on a wave of despair Just to stand on my own on an August night From the valley of broken hearts Gonna make a new start in September Why this confusion? I can feel that the night is slipping away Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun Just to dream on a summer night Dream about a miracle Looking for a miracle Never had the chance before To turn the tide my way In the heat of the summer night You took my breath away Looking for a miracle Wanna walk from the shadows to the sun Just to dream on a summer night Dream about a miracle Your love is just a miracle I closed the door and I walked away From the life I knew on a night in June I took a chance and I lost control Trying to find out why on a night in July Why this hesitation?

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colors from our sight, Red is gray and yellow white, But we decide which is right, And which is an illusion. Pinprick holes in a colorless sky, Let insipid figures of light pass by, The mighty light of ten thousand suns, Challenges infinity and is soon gone. Nighttime, to some a brief interlude, To others the fear of solitude. Brave Helios, wake up your steeds, Bring the warmth the countryside needs. |

Children sighing,
What a day to go kite flying. Breeze is cool, Away from school Cowboys fighting out a duel. Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will. Fish is biting, So exciting! Lunchtime sounds so inviting. At the bill He gets a thrill Sitting, watching bobbing quill. Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will. Yesterday's dreams Are tomorrow's sighs. Watch children playing, They seem so wise. Mary Green Today's a queen One thousand dollies are her dream. In cotton frocks And golden locks, Her palace is an orange box Time seems to stand quite still, In a child's world it always will. |

(Evening: Time to Get Away)
Evening has come to pass, The time of day doesn't last. Evening, has earned its place today, I'm tired of working away. Working, living it brings, Only way to have those things. Toiling has bought too many tears, Turn 'round all those past years. Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. 'Til next day. Live all you people, You can't see where you're at, It doesn't really hurt you, So that can't be bad. (repeat) Evening time to get away. Evening time to get away. ----- (Evening: The Sun Set) When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown, Night has begun for the sunset. See it with your eyes, Earth's re-energized By the sun's rays everyday. Take a look out there, planets everywhere. When the sun goes down, and the clouds all frown, Night has begun for the sunset. Shadows on the ground, never make a sound, Fading away in the sunset. Night has now become day for everyone. I can see it all, from this great height, I can feel the sun, slipping out of sight. And the world still goes on through the night. ----- (Evening: Twilight Time) Twilight time to dream awhile, In veils of deepening blue. As fantasy strides, over colourful skies, Of form disappearing from view. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase, Of notes that are rich and so true. An aerial display by the firefly brigade, Dancing to tunes no one knew. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. Building castles in the air, Whistling to the wind. As nature bows down her head, See what tomorrow brings. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. Bats take to wing like puppets on string, Prancing through cool evening air. In a sightless glide, no reason to hide Away from the sun's blinding stare. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. In twilight time, dream with me awhile. |

How is it we are here, on this path we walk,
In this world of pointless fear, filled with empty talk, Descending from the apes as scientist-priests all think, Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink. Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found. Concrete caves with iron doors, bury it again, While a starving frightened world fills the sea with grain. Her love is like a fire burning inside, Her love is so much higher it can't be denied, She sends us her glory, it's always been there, Her love's all around us, it's there for you and me to share. Men's mighty mine-machines digging in the ground, Stealing rare minerals where they can be found.

A hunderd times today I build them up, you knock them down, Like they were made of clay, Then the tide rushes in And washes my castles away. Then I'm really not so sure When side of the bed I should lay, I should lay... You keep looking for someone To tell your troubles to, I'll sit down and lend an ear Yet I hear nothing new. Then the tide rushes in And washes my castles away. Then I'm really not so sure When side of the bed I should lay, I should lay...

Who's the biggest fool of all, Bet you feel small, It happens to us all. See the world Ask what's it for, Understanding, nothing more, Don't you feel small, It happens to us all. Time is now to spread your voice, Time's to come there'll be no choice, Why do you feel small, It happens to us all. Look at progress, Then count the cost, We'll spoil the seas With the rivers we've lost. See the writing on the wall, Hear the mirror's warning call. That's why you feel small, It happens to us all.

When the breeze between us calls, love comes and lingers into our
lives, And the leaves begin to fall, you point your finger at me. I love you- I love you- In the sadness of your smile love is an island way out to sea, But it seems so long ago we have been ready trying to be free. And it's up to you, Why won't you say? Make our lives turn out this way. If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose, No reason to hide from what's true. In the world of me and you All is forgotten when we're inside And the words that pass us by, I am not listening, all of it's lies. And it's up to you, Why won't you say? Make our lives turn out this way. If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose, No reason to hide from what's true, That we have got nothing to lose. |

A minstrel sings A way of life in his eyes Hear the morning call of waking birds When they are singing, bringing Love - love. Everywhere love is all around, Everywhere love is all around. Now the winter's gone Cold wind has blown The endless stream in our lives Where the minstrel sings This simple song He's always bringing, singing, Love - love. Everywhere love is all around, Everywhere love is all around. Listen to the one Who sings of love. Follow our friend, Our wandering friend, Listen to the one, Who sings of love. Everywhere love is around, Around, around. Here the nations sing Our minstrel's song, As he walks by in their lives Soon the spring will come, And everyone will all be singing, bringing Love - love Everywhere love is all around, Everywhere love is all around.

Dawning is the day, Miss, misty meadow, You will find your way, Wake up in the morning to yourself and leave this crazy life behind you. Listen, we're trying to find you. Flow to the sea, You know where to go, Still we are free, No one tells the wind which way to blow. Wake up in the morning to yourself, Open your eyes and start to be you. Listen, we think we can see you. Baby there's no price upon your head, Sing it, shout it. Now the angry words have all been said. Do it, don't doubt it. So rise, let us see you, Dawning is the day, Miss, misty meadow, You will find your way, Wake up in the morning to yourself, open your head and look around you. Listen, we think we have found you. |

And his feet were sore, And he was tired, He came upon an orange grove And he rested And he lay in the cool, And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it, And it was good. And he felt the earth to his spine, And he asked, and he saw the tree above him, and the stars, And the veins in the leaf, And the light, and the balance. And he saw magnificent perfection, Whereon he thought of himself in balance, And he knew he was. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start. And he thought of those he angered, For he was not a violent man, And he thought of those he hurt For he was not a cruel man And he thought of those he frightened For he was not an evil man, And he understood. He understood himself. Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear, It was because he was not understanding, And he learned, compassion. And with his eye of compassion. He saw his enemies like unto himself, And he learned love. Then, he was answered. Just open your eyes, And realize, the way it's always been. Just open your mind And you will find The way it's always been. Just open your heart And that's a start. |

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world So many people are dying Lost in a lost world Some of them are living an illusion Bounded by the darkness of their minds In their eyes, it's nation against nation against nation With racial pride Sounds... Thinking only of themselves They shun the light (Shun the light) They think they're right (Think they're right) Living in their empty shells Oh, can you see their bodies thrashing? (So many people, so many people) Crashing down around their feet Angry people in the street Telling them they've had their fill Of politics, people who kill Grow... the seed of evolution (So many people, so many people) Revolution everyone It's just another form of gun To do again what they have done Let all our brothers come and get some (So many people, so many people) Everywhere you go you see them searching Everywhere you turn you feel the pain Everyone is looking for the answers Well, look again; come on, my friend Love will find us in the end Come on, my friend (On, my friend) We've got to bend (Got to bend) Down on our knees and say a prayer Oh, can you see the world is pining? (So many people, so many people) Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love With all of us so we can be An ever-loving family Have we forgotten who loves who? (So many people, so many people) Children from a family tree That's longer than a centipede Started long ago when you and I Where only love... (So many people, so many people) I woke today, I was crying Lost in a lost world So many people are dying Lost in a lost world So many people, so many people People lost in a lost world So many people, so many people People lost in a lost world |

Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three I have my hopes to comfort me I got my new horizons out to sea But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift It will always be that way 'Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind Someday Where is this place that we have found? Nobody knows where we are bound I long to hear, I need to see 'Cos I've shed tears too many for me, me But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift It will always be that way 'Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind Someday On the wind soaring free Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see Out of mind far from view Beyond the reach of a nightmare come true Well I've had dreams enough for one And I got love enough for three I have my hopes to comfort me I got my new horizons out to sea But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift It will always be that way 'Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind Someday, someway |
