In
Your Song |
 |
If
you find you can't sleep at night
and
you pace up and down in your room
and
your mind is just full up with words
you'll
be writing your own song soon
So
let the music just turn you around
when
you can't seem to utter a sound
but
don't worry my friend that's alright
you'll
be doing the same tonight
For
we've got the music for your soul
we've
got the rhythm to the roll
we
hope the melody lingers in your mind
we've
got the freedom of our youth
we've
got the chance to speak the truth
so
put your hopes your wishes and dreams
in
a song
in
your song
in
your song
Laughter
heartaches tears and sorrow
joy
of living peace and trust for the heart
time
is space with all things borrowed
live
you life and learn to love that's a start
in
your song
in
your song
in
your song

Friends
|
|
A
long time ago when we met you were lonely
I
helped you forget life was solely only a wish to survive
and
blood flows much thicker than wine
friends
who give up their time to be near you
sing
you a song just to cheer you
you
will be rich in the end brother now you've got a friend
Life
hurries by in the wink of an eye
almost
without meaning
days
speeding past like the wind hard to grasp
no
wonder you're bleeding
friendship
is needed today
or
tomorrow is empty and we need each other please stay
For
our only hope is together
we'll
live in much calmer weather
and
we'll make a beautiful blend
brother
now you've got a friend
Friends
who give up their time to be near you
sing
you their songs just to cheer you
you
will be rich in the end brother now you've got a friend.

We
Need Love
|
|
My
soul is willing to travel
I've
got a song that's waiting to be sung
I've
got a dream that needs to be answered
and
my heart needs to belong
My
hope is we can learn together
my
dream is we can all belong
and
my reason for loving doesn't matter
my
hunger for life carries on
But
we need love we need love we need love
my
love song's a sad song
I
sing it to say I'm sorry
then
maybe just maybe
you'll
learn to love again my baby
So
much time is spent in forgiving
so
much time is lost in a lie
and
the truth is sometimes never answered
I'm
left to sit and wonder why
But
we need love we need love we need love
my
love song's a sad song
I
sing it to say I'm sorry
then
maybe just maybe
you'll
learn to love again my baby

Within
Your Eyes
|
|
Within
your eyes so many good hellos and sad goodbyes
your
future shines the past reclines
yet
still you seek to find
a
place to run you can't hide yourself behind the sun
your
wings will burn you'll never learn
that
life must carry on
For
you could the dancing breeze
that
moves the trees to shed their leaves around you
or
you could be the light in me
that
shows the way my life could be around you
When
you feel low you try so hard but still you let it show
such
foolish pride you're hurt inside
I
know so why pretend
when
love goes wrong you're left to sing a very empty song
your
love was blind but that's no crime
true
love is hard to find
For
you could the dancing breeze
that
moves the trees to shed their leaves around you
or
you could be the light in me
that
shows the way my life could be around you

One
Night Stand
|
|
The
lights go down the band prepares
the
scene is set we're here to sell our wares
and
we know that truth is an ever guiding light
so
we sing our songs each and every night
Do
you know can you feel it do you understand
what
it's like to be living in a rock'n roll band
up
and down the land on a one night stand
I could
have sworn that I'd been in this place before
yes
I wrote my name on the dressing room wall
it
was another band on a one night stand
And
it's all for the music
love
is in the band
and
freedom we command
on
a one night stand
|
Keep
On Searching
|
|
Well
I've always been a dreamer
and
I sometimes play the fool
but
when the lights go down
and
I hear the crowd then I'm cool
Then
I sing my songs of freedom
and
I sing my songs of love
but
there's nothing changed
'cause
I'm still the same as I was
You
gotta keep on keep on searching
you
gotta keep on searching
and
I believe I've found the way
along
the road along the road of freedom
you
gotta keep on trying to belong
come
sing the song be strong
I sometimes
think that the world's gonna pass me by
in
my mind I ask myself the reason why
and
before I know the answer's come and gone
and
before I know the music's turned me on
Well
I sometimes stop and wonder
just
what we are doing now
life
has got to change
maybe
we can arrange it somehow
|
Didn't
I
|
|
They
say that love should last forever
forever's
such a long long time
and
my darling I still love you
is
that a crime
Didn't
I buy you pretty flowers
didn't
I tie them in your hair
didn't
we spend those precious hours
without
a care
Didn't
our love burn like the sun
didn't
our passion run so very high
didn't
we aim for the moon
but
our love died too soon
and
that's no lie
Didn't
I love you in the morning
Didn't
I love you through the day
then
our love left without warning
memories
don't die
do
they
They
say that love should last forever
forever's
such a long long time
and
my darling I still love you
is
that a crime

Migration
|
|
On
and on they journey southward
to
the land of warmer summers
on
the way they shed their feathers
for
the poet's hand to write love letters
Flying
high in straight formation
seeking
out their destination
over
seas and windswept forest
frost
and snow they're soon forgotten
Trees
are bare snowflakes are falling
you
can hear their leaders calling
follow
me fly strong my brother
be
strong of heart and help each other home
And
here I am I'm just a man
and
there you are among the stars flying high
searching
for a new tomorrow
I
wish I could follow
Nearer
still to new horizons
chill
winds blow so far behind them
endless
days and sleepless nights
a
borrowed gift navigates their flight
Still
and pure this morning air
so
tired now but almost there
the
mystery of nature's calling
some
will climb while others return back home
|
Carousel
|
|
The
world's like a big carousel
turning
in space with the whole human race hanging on
but
the sounds that are played on that penny arcade
turn
me on
Then
I need a little romance
if
you play me that song
then
you'll get me to dance
I
can dance
sing
me a slow song and maybe then I'll take a chance
For
there's something in the air
and
it's turning spinning
seems
like I float everywhere
Oh
I need some loving tonight
someone
to hold me and make me feel alright tonight
and
I can't explain why the whole human race
wants
to fight
For
the world is a beautiful place
so
small but it's all that we have to stand on
you
and I
so
won't you join me on my carousel in the sky
For
there something in the air
and
it's turning spinning
seems
like I float everywhere

The
Last Dream
|
|
A
simple man had the strangest dream
he
stood in a garden of flowers
that
overlooked the sea
and
there sailing by
were
his truth and his lies going home
While
all around the sweetest sounds
filled
the air with love
they
made his senses pound
he
saw with open mind
his
life turn with the tide to go home
Memories
of youth had passed before
he
and he alone could count the score
for
he was free he was free
this
was his last dream
Such
melodies were made to sing
the
mellow sounds within a thousand violins
caught
upon the breeze
they
play in harmony sweet harmony
At
last he knew his act was through
with
no applause and no encores
though
the house was full
so
bring the curtain down
lay
him on the ground
for
he's gone home
Memories
of youth had passed before
he
and he alone could count the score
for
he was free he was free
this
was his last dream
now
he is free
