Uriah Heep

I got a solid silver reason
I got something you'll never buy
I've spent my life playing rock'n'roll
I wouldn't tell a lie
Well if you want to taste the freedom
Just let the music take a hold
I'm possessed by rock'n'roll
There's a thunder
See it and wonder
How to play the game
It's easy

You know we're gonna live forever
You know we're never gonna die
You see it's written
Across the sky tonight
I'm gonna tell you why
Because they've covered up the exits
We got a spotlight just for you
Im possessed by rock'n'roll
Hear me callling, stars are falling
Taking me away

Stand up - shout it out
I'm possessed by rock 'n' roll
Stand up - shout it out
Sell your soul
Stand up - shout it out
Let the music take a hold
Stand up - shout it out
Rock 'n' roll

Can't you feel we're getting stronger
Getting stronger every day
There ain't nothing gonna stop us
Oh, there ain't no way
It's like a rolling ball of thunder
You know it's never gonna stop
You know it's gonna drag you under
See me soaring
Thunders roaring
Things afraid again

I got a solid silver reason
I got something you'll never buy
I've spent my life with rock'n'roll
Oh no, would I lie
But if you want to taste the freedom
Just let the music take a hold
I'm possessed by rock'n'roll
There's a thunder
See it and wonder
How to play the game
It's easy

It's gonna drag you under
Gonna take your heart and soul
You gotta shout, shout, shout it out

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away

So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you let her

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over

Why don't you think it over

Forgetting you is out
I ain't givin' in
The fuss was down to you
But it's not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
That it's not over

Why don't you think about it, babe

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

Well, I've been on the road
For a year or more
And I've done a lot of things
I never did before
Now I want everyone
To listen to my song
And you can tell me
When you've heard it
If you think I'm wrong

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Please help me

Well I've seen 'em rise
And I've seen 'em fall
And I use to think that
I was having a ball
But I was kiddin' myself
For a long long time
But now I got myself a spoon
And I'm feeling fine

But I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired
And I'm so uninspired
Won't you please help me

Where can you go
Where can you go
When there is no one
To show a guiding light
What did you say
What did you say
Have you been thinking about me
Day and night

'Cause I'm so tired
Of everybody staring at me
And I'm so, so tired
I'm so uninspired
Please help me
Won't you please me ...

I don't mind
If you steal my last dime
Just leave me anytime
And I'll get, get along fine
I don't really know why
But I know I'll get by
If I don't I'll die tryin'

If it rains again
I'm gonna fly to the sun
'Cause nothing gets done
Just sitting, sitting around
Look at the way it's been
Just waitin' and wonderin'
I've just got to keep trying

Looking for gold in the sky
Gets kinda rough
Maybe I'm to blame
'Cause I didin't look hard enough
But I still get the feeling
That it shouldn't be so tough

So I won't mind, I, I won't mind
I won't mind, I, I won't mind

So I won't mind
I, No, I won't mind
I won't mind, I, said I won't mind

1) Take me across the water
'Cause I need some place to hide
I've done the rancher's daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride - Ha
ha !

Uhu
Uhu
Aaaaah (2x)

2) Well there's a hundred miles of desert lies
Between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water
Lord

'Cause I'm running out of time

Ref) Fighting
Killin' - wine and women-
Gonna put me to my grave

Runnin' hidin' loosin' cryin'
Nothing left to save - But my life

Uhu
Uhu
Aaaaah (2x)

Uhu
Uhu
Aaaaah (2x) ->
3) Stood on a ridge and shunned religion

Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin' when I should have been buying

I was stealin' when I should have been buying
I was stealin' when I should have been buying

I say Stealin' when I should have been buying ........

Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
You said you were a loser, the kind that came up rusted.
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
The only time she's happy is when the bullets fly.
and she'll make you feel you're better than any other guy.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
You're a love machine and I'm trying to be your gun.

If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind

Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
'Bout the place you're in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again

Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done

La la la la la ...

You'll never have again
No no no, never again
You'll never have again

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds


I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I hear voices in my head
They taunt me
Can't lock them out
Inside my thoughts
They breathe in me
I got my hands in my pockets
Screaming at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I've got to run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Take away the pain and the joy
Release the man from the boy
Run to be free, run from the heart


Life will take you where it goes

You can offer me salvation
Feed me when I call
Don't talk to me of sanity
When I'm not quite here at all

I've touched the sun
I felt it's warmth in me
So you will never take away my dignity
Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
Fighting for my cause
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

Run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Life will take you where it goes
Run to be free
Run from the heart

When I think about it
Does anybody win
Taking for yourself and giving nothing
Now that we're apart
I see it wasn't really love
I can ride down the road
And let my soul run free

You may think it over
But no matter what you say
You're talking to yourself
And getting nowhere
There ain't no second chances
No reason to pretend
I'm gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free

Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
You said that all good things
Must surely end
Never mind all the hearts
That lie broken

I know I'll never make
The same mistake again


I doesn' matter what you say

Now I think about it
We all need a little time
'cause if we ain't got love
We ain't got nothing
The doors are opened wide
On my one and only life
Gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free

I know I'll never make
The same mistake again
But I will always be your friend

Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
And I remember

Let my soul run free
Let my soul run free
Did I break your perfect little heart

I know the world is full of light
So why can't things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now it's only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
From deep inside, where love must lie

No need to play the perfect fool
Stand up for love, break the rule
Oh come with me
You know that you can
I see the sky, I see the ground
What's in between must now be found
There is no life
Inside this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
Somewhere in your soul
Where love must lie



And I say ... come to the light
Everyday is getting closer
To your sweet surrender
Out of the cold
'Cause I found a way
That we can fly forever
With direction and peace of mind
The river will flow

Come to the light, my love
'Cause I need you here
I need you here tonight

The chains of love they run so deep
But the hand that writes the law is weak
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
'Cause it's the place the broken go
The place that we don't want to know
There is no love
Inside this heartless land

I havent' listened to a word you've said
I've been wandering inside my head
Don't care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

I've been around for a long time
Losing my way but not my mind
So I drink and play you along
But who cares when the fire burns on
So I'm out here in my paradise
It's my heaven and it feels so right

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside


Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young at heart
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

Live your life - in this time
We've only today - drink life's wine
Don't be fooled
Don't believe what they say
Don't believe what they say

I havent' listened to a word you've said
Say what you like
You're not in my head
Time goes with each breath we take
It rules the world the day we awake
So here I sit here in my paradise
Don't give a damn everything is alright

Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
That's bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea

In the moment you take possession
It'll all disappear and there's the lesson
And the minute you think it's over
Say the word and your dream
Is coming back

All the way
I followed the road that was real to me
And suddenly
You take it for granted


And things don't turn out
Like you planned
When you think you've found
What is good and true
Through the open door
It can really turn on you

So here we are
We look for the light in so many eyes
And in our life
When hope starts to fade
There's a strength that
We give to each other
Walking in the sky over everyone
Head above the coulds
As we're touching the sun

There's a lie that runs
Across the human race
There's a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world

If we try to find some
Deep communication
Bring an end to war
And start a new creation
From the truth inside
It's waiting, it's waiting

Suddenly then
The clearest voice will call
Feeling the air
You have no choice at all

Can I ask the question to you
Do you know who you are
Do you know what we're doing here
Try to see the way from within
'Cause it isn't outside
Let your honesty see it clear
Why does anger fit our hearts


With missconception
Turn us inside out in every direction
From the truth inside
That's waiting, it's waiting

Follow the voice
That lives inside your heart
Never the choice
That tears your world apart

Take a walk and be
A wave upon the oceanTouch the sky and
Feel our spirit in motion
This is the love inside that's waiting
Just waiting

Suddenly everything is there to see
You can be everything you want to be

Are you ready to go my love
Are you ready to be my love
Are you ready to die for love

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him

What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Ain't got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying

How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around


There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way

Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true
And the spirit is all in you

When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night we'd spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember

We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die

When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on


Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights we'd spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember

When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
We'd melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
We'd burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins

When our hearts were young ...

It doesn't matter what you say
The cards are in your favour
We don't need no magic ride
To take you far away
Just give it a silent thought
And you will find the power

'cause everything in life
Will tell you something
Yeah everything in life can set you free

Can you remember a distant dream
That holds your real attention
You don't need a preacher's word
To know what's going on
The secret is all aboard


The wings of your perception

Stand up and fight your troubled mind
Wait no longer
See the power in your life

Disbelievers come on strong
Lost in self importance
They don't know an average man
Can see this mystery
Jump into the twilight world
And gather your awareness

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

I can feel your sadness
From what I said to you
I'm drinking my forgiveness
So restless and confused
I don't know what I see
But it looks a lot like love
Showing me something
Deeper then deep in my soul

And it makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point
It makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point

I was drifting through the days
With nowhere else to turn
I finally discovered
How much I have to learn


I shouldn't be afraid
For you to bring my love
Taking me somewhere
Deeper than deep in my soul

This time my heart will lead the way
To win the game you'got to play

You love me like a lover
I see it in your face
No need to think it over
No need to run the race
I don't know if you planned it
But you're driving me insane
Telling me something
Over and over again

Locked behind the door
Taken by force
But I'm not guilty of the crime
How can this be real
What is aganst the law
To say what's on your mind
Then I see your face
So warm as it comforts me
And tells me I am not alone
Pray for me tonight
Give me the strength of love
To help me cross the virgin snow

I will run till daybreak
My tears will fade away
They'll never take me again
No I'm never going back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely be so clear

Can we give ourselves
Like a mother to her child

They took a part of me
Whenever I think of it
I shiver to the bone


The scar is on my heart
When will the crimes of
Inhumanity be known
I am only one voice
I will not fade away
So many are silent
But I will never look back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely disappear

The snow has gone at last
I'm out of the shadows and into the sun
And then I see you smile
Angel of mercy
The fight has jus begun
I can hear them calling
Across the frozen land
The world will hear us
You know it's never too late
'cause when we get
To the golden palace
The memory will surely be so clear

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Oh Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone
In a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mummy
You had before the war

Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare.
So I will sit and play my waiting game.
And for a while I know you'll do the same.
Oh No!

Watches like an eagle from its tree,
then like a bird of prey she captured me.
But I am older and more wise than you.
Bird of prey - straight into me you fool.
Oh No!

Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh!
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah!
But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah!
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah!
Ooh Ah

LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that
I have come from
I have a feeling that
There must be a time

When I'll get a chance to go home
'Cause I'm so tired
Of being here alone
But I뭢 just a traveller in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime

If I could go back
The same way I got here
And see the people that
I once held so near
I'd do my best to
Find an answer for you

But first I must wait till I'm set free
And I don't know
How long that's gonna be
'Cause I'm a man with
A whole lot on his mind
Just out there somewhere
Travelling in time
Travelling in time

I've tried for so long to find
Some way of helping mankind

Sunrise
And the new day's breakin' through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Excep the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again
Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
I'm tired of fightin'
And foolin' around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love you
For all of my time

It's raining outside
But that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling
Is becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Away from your days
And into mine

Now it's raining inside
It's kind of a shame
And it's getting to me
A happy man
Why should you want to
Waste all my time
The world is yours
But I am mine

*Rain, rain, rain in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame in my mind
See what you've done to my life
See what you've done to my life

Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save
but my life.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.

All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
but my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life.

So I stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.
I was stealing when I should have been buying,
I was stealing when I should have been buying.
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING woo
STEALING hahaha, yeh
I was STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING oh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
STEALING oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING babe, babe
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should have, should have, should have been buying
STEALING buying, yeah

Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question

Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy ?

Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
That's never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There's another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you're using

Moonlight night
After moonlight night
Side by side
They will see us ride
But if they cared to look
Then they would see
It's just our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy ?

Travelling faster than lightening
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you
And take you nearer to
The legend of mystery
From the beginning of time
Dreaming... time ... dreaming
We can return to
The land of the good and the kind
Time... dreaming... time... dreaming
Why don't you come to our party
And open your minds

In another place
There's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds


I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

I havent' listened to a word you've said
I've been wandering inside my head
Don't care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

I've been around for a long time
Losing my way but not my mind
So I drink and play you along
But who cares when the fire burns on
So I'm out here in my paradise
It's my heaven and it feels so right

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside


Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young at heart
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

Live your life - in this time
We've only today - drink life's wine
Don't be fooled
Don't believe what they say
Don't believe what they say

I havent' listened to a word you've said
Say what you like
You're not in my head
Time goes with each breath we take
It rules the world the day we awake
So here I sit here in my paradise
Don't give a damn everything is alright

Locked behind the door
Taken by force
But I'm not guilty of the crime
How can this be real
What is aganst the law
To say what's on your mind
Then I see your face
So warm as it comforts me
And tells me I am not alone
Pray for me tonight
Give me the strength of love
To help me cross the virgin snow

I will run till daybreak
My tears will fade away
They'll never take me again
No I'm never going back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely be so clear

Can we give ourselves
Like a mother to her child

They took a part of me
Whenever I think of it
I shiver to the bone


The scar is on my heart
When will the crimes of
Inhumanity be known
I am only one voice
I will not fade away
So many are silent
But I will never look back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely disappear

The snow has gone at last
I'm out of the shadows and into the sun
And then I see you smile
Angel of mercy
The fight has jus begun
I can hear them calling
Across the frozen land
The world will hear us
You know it's never too late
'cause when we get
To the golden palace
The memory will surely be so clear

I didn't see you standing there
You took me by surprise
In your long silk dress
And those deep brown eyes
I was captured by your smile
But when fate put out it's hand
You're walking to your love
How was I to resist
The passion and the kiss
We raised the future alone

She stole my body and soul
With a heart next to mine
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss

She said
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Tonight we live forever
One heart, one soul
On the edge of the world
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Feels like we died together
In each others arms


On the edge of the world

When she touched me so warm
And so was her body
A kiss she gave to me
The name she said to pain and pleasure
Time my soul rescue me
But I know I'd be here on my own
As soon as the sun would rise
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss

I've dreamed of a place I know
With the shadows of my past
Still remain
You're buried in the midst of time
For always you'll be the sun that shines
Shines on me

Goodnight, goodnight
My sweet pretender ...

When I think about it
Does anybody win
Taking for yourself and giving nothing
Now that we're apart
I see it wasn't really love
I can ride down the road
And let my soul run free

You may think it over
But no matter what you say
You're talking to yourself
And getting nowhere
There ain't no second chances
No reason to pretend
I'm gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free

Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
You said that all good things
Must surely end
Never mind all the hearts
That lie broken

I know I'll never make
The same mistake again


I doesn' matter what you say

Now I think about it
We all need a little time
'cause if we ain't got love
We ain't got nothing
The doors are opened wide
On my one and only life
Gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free

I know I'll never make
The same mistake again
But I will always be your friend

Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
And I remember

Let my soul run free
Let my soul run free
Did I break your perfect little heart

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him

What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Ain't got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying

How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around


There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way

Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive

The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true
And the spirit is all in you

When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night we'd spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember

We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die

When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on


Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights we'd spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember

When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
We'd melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
We'd burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins

When our hearts were young ...

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds


I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time

It doesn't matter what you say
The cards are in your favour
We don't need no magic ride
To take you far away
Just give it a silent thought
And you will find the power

'cause everything in life
Will tell you something
Yeah everything in life can set you free

Can you remember a distant dream
That holds your real attention
You don't need a preacher's word
To know what's going on
The secret is all aboard


The wings of your perception

Stand up and fight your troubled mind
Wait no longer
See the power in your life

Disbelievers come on strong
Lost in self importance
They don't know an average man
Can see this mystery
Jump into the twilight world
And gather your awareness

I havent' listened to a word you've said
I've been wandering inside my head
Don't care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

I've been around for a long time
Losing my way but not my mind
So I drink and play you along
But who cares when the fire burns on
So I'm out here in my paradise
It's my heaven and it feels so right

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside


Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young at heart
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young

Live your life - in this time
We've only today - drink life's wine
Don't be fooled
Don't believe what they say
Don't believe what they say

I havent' listened to a word you've said
Say what you like
You're not in my head
Time goes with each breath we take
It rules the world the day we awake
So here I sit here in my paradise
Don't give a damn everything is alright

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

There's a lie that runs
Across the human race
There's a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world

If we try to find some
Deep communication
Bring an end to war
And start a new creation
From the truth inside
It's waiting, it's waiting

Suddenly then
The clearest voice will call
Feeling the air
You have no choice at all

Can I ask the question to you
Do you know who you are
Do you know what we're doing here
Try to see the way from within
'Cause it isn't outside
Let your honesty see it clear
Why does anger fit our hearts


With missconception
Turn us inside out in every direction
From the truth inside
That's waiting, it's waiting

Follow the voice
That lives inside your heart
Never the choice
That tears your world apart

Take a walk and be
A wave upon the oceanTouch the sky and
Feel our spirit in motion
This is the love inside that's waiting
Just waiting

Suddenly everything is there to see
You can be everything you want to be

Are you ready to go my love
Are you ready to be my love
Are you ready to die for love

I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I hear voices in my head
They taunt me
Can't lock them out
Inside my thoughts
They breathe in me
I got my hands in my pockets
Screaming at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

I've got to run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Take away the pain and the joy
Release the man from the boy
Run to be free, run from the heart


Life will take you where it goes

You can offer me salvation
Feed me when I call
Don't talk to me of sanity
When I'm not quite here at all

I've touched the sun
I felt it's warmth in me
So you will never take away my dignity
Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
Fighting for my cause
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all

Run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Life will take you where it goes
Run to be free
Run from the heart

I know the world is full of light
So why can't things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now it's only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
From deep inside, where love must lie

No need to play the perfect fool
Stand up for love, break the rule
Oh come with me
You know that you can
I see the sky, I see the ground
What's in between must now be found
There is no life
Inside this heartless land

Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
Somewhere in your soul
Where love must lie



And I say ... come to the light
Everyday is getting closer
To your sweet surrender
Out of the cold
'Cause I found a way
That we can fly forever
With direction and peace of mind
The river will flow

Come to the light, my love
'Cause I need you here
I need you here tonight

The chains of love they run so deep
But the hand that writes the law is weak
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
'Cause it's the place the broken go
The place that we don't want to know
There is no love
Inside this heartless land

Locked behind the door
Taken by force
But I'm not guilty of the crime
How can this be real
What is aganst the law
To say what's on your mind
Then I see your face
So warm as it comforts me
And tells me I am not alone
Pray for me tonight
Give me the strength of love
To help me cross the virgin snow

I will run till daybreak
My tears will fade away
They'll never take me again
No I'm never going back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely be so clear

Can we give ourselves
Like a mother to her child

They took a part of me
Whenever I think of it
I shiver to the bone


The scar is on my heart
When will the crimes of
Inhumanity be known
I am only one voice
I will not fade away
So many are silent
But I will never look back
'cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely disappear

The snow has gone at last
I'm out of the shadows and into the sun
And then I see you smile
Angel of mercy
The fight has jus begun
I can hear them calling
Across the frozen land
The world will hear us
You know it's never too late
'cause when we get
To the golden palace
The memory will surely be so clear

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe, he told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Oh Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone
In a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mummy
You had before the war

Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail

You're listening
Through endless nights
And decision is your goal
So wake up, set your sights
Oh, the time is right for your role
Yeah, or your role

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set your sights
Never, never, never
Shall we fail
Stand up, stand up, stand up
For your rights
Justice, justice, justice
Will prevail

There in the morning
Flying over the hills
While men are yawning
They are crushed by our wills
Never have I witnessed
People in fear
Not like today
Not in many a year

Go kill another
There are more close behind
"No" screams a mother
"Are you out of your mind"
Though they are shattered
They just don't seem to yield
Bodies are scattered
In all parts of the field

Oh no, did I tell you
What would happen if you tried
"Oh god, stop this killing!"
Said a young man
Before he died

I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare.
So I will sit and play my waiting game.
And for a while I know you'll do the same.
Oh No!

Watches like an eagle from its tree,
then like a bird of prey she captured me.
But I am older and more wise than you.
Bird of prey - straight into me you fool.
Oh No!

Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh!
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah!
But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah!
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah!
Ooh Ah

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning
her long hair flowing
in the mid winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
and destruction lay around me
from a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers
without thought of men or god
And I begged her give me
horses to trample down my enemies
so eager was my passion to devour
this waste of life

But she would not think of battle
that reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
and asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I cried
Oh let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me
she said and filled
my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until
I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
and say hello for me

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
and a chance to meet him one night wondering.
He told me tales and he drank my wine.
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine.

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire.
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
to free the world of its fear and pain
and help the people to feel free again.

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts?
Cause then I know we'll find we're not so far apart.
Everybody's got to be happy, everyone should see.
For we know the joy of life and peace that love can bring.

So spoke the wizard in his mountain home.
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone.
And I will dream of my magic night
and the million silver stars that guide me with their light
