Like a River
03:25
|

|
Like a River that flows to the sea,
And on gentle tides return.
My thoughts flow out to the Great Unknown,
Return renewed, to comfort me.
Do you recall this thing you once told me,
That all this madness will pass?
I need to be with you,
Always be near you,
Got to make each moment last.
Hold me now,
Hold me now,
In your arms tonight.
Hold me now,
Don’t let go.
In your arms tonight.
Like a river that flows to the sea,
I glide downstream silent and free.
Should I be here when gentle tides return,
I know that you will find me.
Always remember what you once told me,
Our love will always last.
Hold me now,
Hold me now,
In your arms tonight.
Hold me now,
Don’t let go.
In your arms tonight.

Know what you do,
Know what you do,
Know what you do to me.
Know what you say,
Know what you say,
Know what you say to me.
When we’re together,
Words go unspoken,
Oh.
There was tomorrow,
Always tomorrow.
Oh.
Know how you pray,
Know how you pray,
Know how you pray for me.
Know how you feel,
Know how you feel,
Know how you feel for me.
We’re together,
No matter how far away,
Ooh, ahh
We’ll see a brighter day.
Know how you smile,
Know how you smile,
Know how you smile for me.
Know how you cry,
Know how you cry,
Know how you cry for me.
In a still moment,
I know you see me.
I hope you see me.
There is tomorrow,
What of tomorrow?
Oh.
Know how you show,
Know how you show,
Know how you show yourself to me.
Love how you sleep,
Love how you sleep,
Love how you sleep next to me.
We’re together,
No matter how far away,
Ooh, ahh
We’ll see a brighter day.
Come together,
We’ll make a brighter day.

Help, help,
We all need some help.
Love,Sweet love,
We all need the love.
Call me, Call me,
You know my name.
It’s just something you can’t do without,
It’s just something that won’t give out.
Now I know what you’ve been through, yeah.
Now I see what you’ve been through, yeah.
Oh, the streets running hot.
Line down the middle,
That’s what we got.
Ole Beelzebub barters for souls,
In halls of power,
That’s how it goes.
Hope, hope,
We all live in hope.
Faith, faith,
Keeping the faith.
Love you, never leave you.
Your life matters to me.
We saw your brother lie’n, lie’n
Die’n in the street.
It’s just something you can’t do without,
Love is something that won’t give out.
Now I know what you’ve been through, yeah.
Now I see what you’ve been through, yeah.
Oh, the streets running hot.
Line down the middle that’s what we’ve got.
Ole Beelzebub barters for souls,
In halls of power that’s how it goes.
That’s how it goes.

There Is a Place
05:35
|
|||
|
When I think of something,
All my wheels go turning around.
When I feel my heartbeat, I will often
wonder out loud.
Is there someplace I’ve yet to see?
Is there a moment of divinity?
Dining with angels you know,
Isn’t so easy for me.
There is a place
Where there is real peace,
Where there’s sweet release.
There is a place.
There is a heart,
That is open wide
Smiles on your darker side.
There is a heart.
There is a place.
That I’m dreamin’ of.
Where I’ll fine real love.
Listen to my body
Telling me I’ve got to slow down.
There’s this driving drumbeat
Even thought you can’t hear a sound.
You feel like you’ve been here before,
Maybe a dream, you can’t be sure.
Can anybody know how far we have to
go?
There is a place
Where you’re free to be
What you’re free to be.
There is a place.
There is this place
That I’m dreamin’ of,
Where I’ll know real love.

Power and the Glory
04:27
|

|
The morning has come
And I wonder,
Who will I be?
I’m up with the sun
And I wonder,
Who will I see?
Shakin’ up my yesterday,
The maybe’s and not yet’s
I’m holdin’ out for something good,
Given’ up regrets.
What will be my destiny?
Where is it I’m goin’?
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I’m lookin’ here for someone,
I’m lookin’ here for something,
Power and the Glory.
Power and the Glory.
Standing in the twilight,
Darkness still surrounds me.
Walk into the sunset,
Still the mystery confounds me.
What will be my destination?
Where will I be goin’
No one knows
I don’t know.
But, I’m lookin’ out for someone,
I’m lookin’ out for something.
Power and the Glory.
Power and the Glory.

Right Now
05:36
|
|||
|
Right now:
All the leaves grow green
With laughter.
They don’t have to chase after.
Like we often do.
Right now:
Clouds across blue sky,
They don’t have to say why.
That’s just what they do.
Right now:
Why sea and sun attract us,
Why the stars can stop us,
‘Cause it’s all there for you.
Right now:
Autumn colors that surround us.
They don’t ever ask much.
Just notice what they do.
Right now:
The white and cold remind us,
Sadness often leaves us
When we welcome in the new.
Right now:
There are no limitations.
Only invitations
To be here, anyhow.

We Are Watching
05:10
|

How can you be so near to me?
Yet I feel so lost at sea.
Tryin’ hard to talk to you,
Tryin’ hard to hear you, too.
How close was I to gettin’ through?
How close was I to bein’ there with you?
Blue mirror on the wall,
Your reflection says it all.
Pay the price for our inaction
There can be no more distraction.
Stop’n by to clear confusion,
Shine a light on the Grand Illusion.
There will be no more……lies.
We are watching.
Heed the warning
Before the song is sung,
The strength to journey on.
Always hopeful, somethings coming.
Change is from within,
It’s how it all begins.
How can you be so near?
How can you be so far away?
How can you be so near?
How close was I?
We are watching.
Heed the warning.
Before the song is sung,
Strength to journey on.
Always hopeful
Somethings coming.
Change is from within:
It’s how it all begins.
We are watching,
Heed the warning.
It’s more than just a dream,
Change is from within.
Always hopeful
Somethings coming.
Before the song is sung,
The best is yet to come.

Teeming With Life
04:04
|

|
Above the mountain tops,
Beyond the endless sea,
Is there a place for us to
Be?
When all the wall's stripped bare,
We see the hidden fear.
When things seem so unfair,
When things become so clear.
My Vision runs so cold,
Everyone selling me
The perfect way to see.
Look deep into my soul.
Searching for integrity,
A touch of dignity,
Who's around to see
Or care…but
The World is teeming with life.
My world is sighing.
The World is teeming with Life,
With love abiding
We cross the inner streams
With Intersecting ways.
Is there a way to set us free?
Will we get to breathe
The cleansing atmosphere?
Must we always grieve
For what has come so dear?
My heart worn on my sleeve,
Is there identity
Among the uncertainties?
Forever on this road.
Can we free the past,
Can we free the past
Free the past to leave?
'Cause.....
The World is teeming with life.
My world is sighing.
The World is teeming with Life
With Love abiding.

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Dance’n through a minefield.
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Dance’n through a minefield.
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Dance’n through a minefield.
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
Dance’n through a minefield.
Searchin’ for solid ground.
So my friend,
Words have failed us yet again.
You have your way of think’n, I have
mine.
Have to be so damn careful
Not to cross the line.
What we see as certain,
Tomorrow blurs with time.
Can you say enough
To fear and suspicion?
Have we had enough
Of boldface lies?
Have you had enough
Of toxic visions
That cloud your mind?
Dancing through a minefield.
Dancing through a minefield.
So my friend,
Here we are again.
You wave your flag,
It’s the same as mine.
Will you see me?
Will I see you?
God forgive us all
If we don’t see right through.
Dancing through a minefield. (Repeats)
