United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all

United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all

It's been ten years we celebrate
All that made our kingdom great
Liberty and justice for all

Each of us will now divide
In equal shares our countryside
Promising equality for all who reside

United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all

Liberty, justice, trust
Shall be greater than all
Freedom, peace, honor
No one greater than all
Goodness, strength, valor

Shall be greater than

She was only a child
Someone to hold on
Only a child
Someone to believe in
Only a child, someone to love

She was 17 beauty queen
I met her in a magazine
Heart of fire, love's desire
Reachin' out, higher higher
Runaway, one more day
A broken hearted child at play
I pray for you, baby blue
In the name of love I reach for you
In the darkness comes the evil of the night
Tkink about it
(You better wait)
Stop yourself before you fall
(You better wait)
Stop before you lose it all
Somewhere there's love
Oh - somewhere, somewhere
Precious girl, little pearl
Temptation is a lonely world
Eyes deceive, they believe
In everything they wanna see yeah
And the neon lights reflect your life
Only you know where you hide baby
(You better wait)
Stop yourself before you fall
(You better wait)
Stop before you lose it all
Cause somewhere there's love
(You better wait)
Stop yourself before you start
(You better wait)
Don't look back, don't lose heart

Don't look, don't look
Don't look back baby

In the friendship of lovers
Lives the joy of the heart
And when trust is forsaken
Our whole world falls apart

And when the wind cries you're with me
And tears say enough, then the song prays for love
Young hearts forever
Don't wait one moment this time
Love is forever (with somebody like a you yeah)
The young hearts survive
On the wings of an angel
Oo a child learns to fly
And little by little, the sands move through time
And I can live a lie but I think I
Know better-
Young hearts forever
Don't wait one moment this time
Love is forever (with somebody like a you yeah)
The young hearts survive
Here in the darkness
She dances alone
Roses from yesterday
Will she ever know

Young hearts forever
Don't wait one moment in time
Love is forever (with somebody like a you yeah)
The young hearts survive
With somebody like a you yeah
Young hearts, young hearts
Will love, will love, be forever
One moment in forever, forever
Forever (with somebody like a you yeah)
Give me just a little more time
She was an old flame of mine
I remember, I remember

We were lost and alone
Somewhere so very new
Caught in the magic of love
And your forgiveness
Selfish and too blind to see
Love was our music and, oh...
I am, lost in a world of emptiness
I am, learning to tell the truth

Somewhere, somebody new
We shared, faith without truth
With only my words left I turn,
To your forgiveness
Eyes in the darkness they cry
Tears are forever and oh...
I am, lost in a world of emptiness
I am, learning to tell the truth
So many roads to choose

I am, lost in a world of emptiness
I am, learning to tell the truth
I am, lost in a world of emptiness
I am, learning to tell the truth
So many roads to choose

Is this just a dream Livin' in a fantasy
Surrendering our hope Never, never -
Teaching old mistakes
Deep from in a memory
Two is forever One stands apart
Love's forgotten, the pain from the start
Hate for each other, so blind to kill
'Cause it will, yes it will
(Stand up) stand up (before it's too late)
This is not a dream no
(Stand up) stand up (before it's too late) oh
And we walk hopelessly
What we leave behind
Is it fool's reality
Heaven is a child, I know, you know
Fear is forever, both stand apart
When love's forgottten
The tears from the start
(Stand up) stand up (before it's too late)
This is not a dream no

Sorrow, sorrow
Surroundin' my soul
Cry no more
All's forgiven
Two is forever
One stands apart
When love's forgotten
The tears from the start
So so unfair
We turn away, and I know,
Yes I know
(Stand up) stand up (before it's too late)
This is not a dream, no
(Stand up) stand up (before it's too late)
Stand (stand up)
Before

Somewhere in the inside
All along the road
Lady luck has fallen
Now the truth unfolds
Rolling dice remember
What promises regret
Helps me to remember
Helps me to forget
Some are believers
Some don't know (some are lost)
They're lost and alone
Some are deceivers
Their souls been sold (for the love)
For the love of strange medicine

Far inside the dark room
Behind all the walls
Underneath the concrete
Heaven starts to fall
Walkin' on the sidewalks
Red lights turn to blue
Somewhere in the darkness
Standing there is you
Some are believers
Some don't know (some are lost)
They're lost and alone
Some are deceivers
Their souls been sold (for the love)
All for the love, some are lost(Some are lost)
Lost and alone...

All for the love of strange medicine - we're lost

Some are believers,
Some don't know (some are lost)
We're lost and alone
Some are deceivers,
Their souls been sold (for the love)
All for the love -
Some are lost (for the love)
Some are lost -
for the love
Some are lost -
for the love

There's a wind
In your eyes
In the still, of the night
You are here, in my voice
Inside of me
Am I wrong
To resist
In your arms, alone like this
And I know, the way you feel
Donna please
Wanting you, touching you
You're here in my soul
It's wrong to do
He's still with you
Oh Donna please
Does he know
You pretend
That you love, only him
Long ago, you belonged to me
Donna please
Wanting you, touching you
You're here in my soul
Can't you see, oh Donna please
This won't go away
Close the door, turn the page
I can't let you go
If he wants you tonight
Will you tell him, no

There's a wind
In your eyes
In the still, of the night
Donna please

You never listen baby

We were both together, naturally
I was lovin' you baby, you were lovin' me
Every word I said, every word is true
I was on the inside, but he was lovin' you
Oh - oh - listen to your heart
You never listen baby
I didn't wanna see it,
You felt so good,
I didn't wanna know girl, this love's misunderstood
One more day, won't make it right
Still I lie in your darkness defenseless
Tonight
Oh - oh -
(Never) no, there's something here
Won't last very long
(Never) no, we're going down for
The last time, listen baby

Listen baby listen
I still remember when
Our love was tender then
Love was an open door
No time to wonder
I'm goin' under, listen to your heart
(Never) no there's somethin' here
Wouldn't last very long
(Never) no
We're goin' down for the last time
(Never) never
One promise broken
Too soon and too late
(Never) no
We're goin' down for the last time

After the lovin', after the evening
Darlin' you're so deceiving, I know
I don't believe it you've got the answer
Darlin' it's soul disaster, I know
Tuesday heartache
Love comes, love goes
One day hard times
Too long ago -
I don't believe you, when you say darlin'
It's somethin' so alarmin', oh I know
I wanna love ya
You want disaster, darling it's all-
All the last time
Tuesday, heartache
Love comes, love goes
I don't show it, but someone's been told
Maybe, we're there, no don't you go
Tuesday heartache,
Love sounds unfold
Oo take your time baby

Tuesday, heartache
Love comes, love goes
Tuesday, heartache, don't go away
(Tuesday heartache) no don't you go away
(Tuesday heartache) don't go away
When someone's deceiving they fall
Oh ya -
It's all right, all right
Fall yes
After the lovin', after the evening
Oo - when someone's deceiving they fall
When someone's deceiving they fall
Oh - no
So deceiving -
With someone, someone, someone
They fall-

The hurt on your heart
Through your eyes it shows
The past we can't relive
What we both know
Still I remember
Things I never meant
Memories surround me
Won't let me forget
I was so wrong
The secret's not worth keeping
I had no faith That you would still believe
No, now
My heart's in your keeping
Here I am
Missin' you (Missing you)
Fear in the dark
Stares from the wall
Your eyes in your picture
Won't let me go
If I could remember
How you felt the pain
The king of pretenders
Alone in shame
I was so wrong
The secret's not worth keeping
I had no faith That you would still believe
No, now
My heart's in your keeping
Here I am, oh here I am
(Missin' you)
Missing you
Oh I'm (missing you)
You were there, now I'm here
You gave much more than I did
I gave what I had to give
If I could, you know I would
I'd make it up to you
Instead I'm (missin' you)
In the place you used to be
You were lying next to me
Oh I'm, missin' you

When you're runnin babe You can't let go
Life's on the line
When you're runnin runnin runnin
From a cold cold world
Voices they cry
Somewhere there's hope
Somebody please
Somewhere there's hope
Waiting there
Ooh the wheels of fear Turn truith into lies
Like a theif in the night
Hold on To the smoke and to the fire
No one Can hide
Cause somewhere there's hope
Somebody please
Somewhere there's hope
Waiting there
Somewhere there's hope
Somebody please
Waiting there

Somewhere there's hope
Somebody please
Somewhere there's hope
Waiting there

They cry
Voices they cry
Somewhere there's hope
Somebody please
Oh

Still I remember
I'd like to say I'm sorry
I'd like to make amends
I'd close my eyes and tell the truth
Where would I begin
My story's far from simple
I'm so afraid to show
I never want to run again
I want to let you know
Anyway, what was I saying
Anyway, I seem to have lost my place again
Anyway, somehow I need just to forget
But I can't do it oh I try anyway
We believed in music
Brothers till the end
Nothing stood between us
A fire burned within
Oh how I remember
Wounded but alive
Lost in my insanity
Escaping to survive
Anyway, what was I saying
Anyway, I seem to have lost my place again
Anyway, oh how I need just to forget
But I can't do it oh I try still I can't do it
Oh I try, oh I try, anyway
Still I remember
Haunting me calling me still I remember
No

Oo still I remember, still I
Haunting me, calling me
What was I saying anyway

I Stand Alone


I know the sound of each rock and stone
I embrace what others fear
You are not to roam in this forgotten place
Just the likes of me are welcome here


Everything breathes
And I know each breath
It's more than enough for this man


Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world
With no one else
All by myself I stand alone


Deep in the darkness my heart still sees
Everything that I'll never be
Behind these eyes I'll go everywhere
There's no need for sympathy
Everything breathes and I know each breath
In my world there's no compromise


Like every tree stands on its own
Oh reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with no one else
All by myself...


Still
I will remember
Still
I'll run with you, yes
And when it's time for you to go
Take me in your heart


Like every tree
Stands on its own
Oh reaching for the sky I stand alone
I share my world with noone else
All by myself
I stand alone


All by myself... all by myself
I stand alone

United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all

United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all

It's been ten years we celebrate
All that made our kingdom great
Liberty and justice for all

Each of us will now divide
In equal shares our countryside
Promising equality for all who reside

United we stand, now and forever
In truth, divided we fall
Hand upon hand, brother to brother
No one shall be greater than all

Liberty, justice, trust
Shall be greater than all
Freedom, peace, honor
No one greater than all
Goodness, strength, valor

Shall be greater than

Whoa, I've been tryin'
To talk to you
But there's no one home
Girl, I've been tryin'
To get closer
Ooh, but I'm tryin' alone

So when you hit me with your danger smile
Try to play me for a fool
I know you're lyin', baby
That's your style
But I'm not playing by those rules

Now I know our love is faded
Oh, like the end of lonely days
It's our love we should be savin'
No, instead we're slippin' away

Think you two-time me with your double-talk
And you expect me to believe it, oh
Before you pack your bags and take a walk
Just one more time I've gotta say

Don't tell me why you're leaving
I don't wanna know
Don't tell me why you're leaving
Just, just, just, just, just, just, just let me go

Whoa, you hit me with your danger smile
Tried to play me for a fool
I know you're lyin', baby
That's your style
I'm not playin' by those rules

So don't tell me why you're leaving
I don't wanna know
Don't tell me why you're leaving
Just, just, just, just, just, just, just let me go

Now, now, wait, wait a minute now, hold on
You said what? Where now? With who? What?
You talkin' to me?
Woman, watch out, watch out, watch your mouth, girl
Watch what you're saying!
Watch out, watch out, watch out
Don't, don't, don't, don't you tell me

Oh, don't tell me why you're leaving
I don't wanna know
No, don't tell me why you're leaving
Just, just, just, just, just, just, just up and go

I'm happy just to see you here
If only for the moment girl
Why do you seem so sincere
Don't tell me you're unhappy girl

Honey
You don't need nobody
You got another place to stay
Oh...
You don't need nobody
Is it another sad mistake

I wish that we could fall again
If only for the moment girl
It's not easy to pretend
I see your eyes
They show.. it girl...

Oh you don't need nobody
You got another place to stay
Oh...
You don't need nobody
Is it another sad mistake
Sad mistake... (sad mistake)

(Solo)

If only for the moment girl
Just make believe you're mine
Oh If only for the moment girl
Stay, stay, stay with me a while

Oh If only for the moment girl
Please won't you lie to me
If only for the moment girl
Stay, stay, stay

Oh If only for the moment girl
Won't you believe you're mine
Oh if only for the moment.. girl...

Oh If only for the moment girl
Oh you'll believe in me, you're mine

Yeah
If only for the moment girl
