I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same.
And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realise.
 
Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build for another day
 
But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.

When the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet innocent love
For evermore
 
Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build for another day
 
But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.
 

Walking in the sand
Thinking of things, adventures in my mind
Of tall ships that sail
Across the oceans wide.
They won't wait for me,
See how they glide away so gracefully
And, with tomorrow, what will become of me?
They leave me so much to explain,
That's the start of our guessing game.
 
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
 
Wonder why we try so hard?
Wonder why we try at all?
You wonder why the world is turning around,
In the end it won't matter at all.
 
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
 
Standing in the town,
Looking at people counting their frowns,
Unhappy faces hurrying around
So blind they cannot see
All of the things,
The way life ought to be
And, with tomorrow, what will they make of me?
 
It leaves me so much to explain,
That's the start of our guessing game.
 
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
 
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
 
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
 

Lovely to know the warmth
Your smile can bring to me.
I want to tell you,
But the words you do not know.
Sing me a lullaby
Of songs you cannot write
And I will listen for there's beauty
Where there's love.
 
And in the morning of my life,
And in the evening of my day
I will try to understand in what you say.
 
Rivers of endless tides
Have passed beneath my feet
And all too soon they had me
Standing on my own.
 
Then, when my eyes were closed,
You opened them for me
And now we journey through our lives
To what will be.
 
And in the morning of my life,
And in the evening of my day
I will try to understand
In what you say
 
Through all that life can give to you
Only true love will see you through
And we'll stand beside you now
In what you say.
 
And in the morning of my life,
And in the evening of my day
I will try to understand
In what you say
 
Take me into your world,
Alone I cannot go
For I've been here so long.
You're leaving me behind.
Walk with me now
Into your land of fairy tales
And open up that book of pages in my mind
And open up that book of ages in my mind
And open up that book of pages in my mind
And open up that book of ages in my mind...
 

Since it began I got one dream and really it's my only blessing:
If I can come through then so can you and you will find there's no regretting.
Things that you want from your life's font will never let your spirit roam,
Come back to Earth for what it's worth for you've been dreaming of a ceiling not a home.
I've been doing my best:
What else can I do?
Is there something I've missed
That will help me through?
 
I have reached the top of my wall
And all I've found is another way to fall.
 
For some short time for a while you and I were joined to eternity,
Then we split in two, back to me and you, like the rain
Rising from the sea,
Rising from the sea.
 
But all can see what we shall be, but knowing's really not controlling.
With time, perhaps, I'll pass the traps and find some peace and understanding.
After you'd come and while you're gone you leave me guessing - it's depressing,
Never to know the way to go to find some time along a little less pressing.
 
So you just have to laugh
When it hurts so much.
You're so far away
And so hard to touch.
 
I have reached the top of my wall
And all I've found is another way to fall.

Look out of my window
See the world passing by,
See the look in her eye.
One more time to live and I have made it mine.
Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes
 
And he who wants to fight begins the end of time...
For I have riches more than these.
For I have riches more than these.

Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by.
Hear the birds sing a sigh.
 
One more tree will fall, how strong the growing vine.
Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime.
How one thought will live provide the others die,
For I have riches more than these.
For I have riches more than these.

Nice to be here, hope you agree,
Lying in the sun.
Lovely weather, must find a tree,
The show has just begun.
All the leaves start swaying
To the breeze that's playing
On a thousand violins
And the bees are humming
To a frog sat strumming
On a guitar with only one string.
 
I can see them, they can't see me,
I feel out of sight.
I can't see them, they can't see me,
Much to my delight.
 
And it seems worth noting
Water rats were boating
As a lark began to sing.
The sounds kept coming
With Jack Rabbit loudly drumming
On the side of a biscuit tin.
 
I can see them, they can't see me,
I feel out of sight.
I can't see them, they can't see me,
Much to my delight.
 
Silver minnows were devising
Water ballet so surprising.
A mouse played a daffodil.
A mole came up blinking
Underneath an owl who's thinking
How he came to be sat on a hill.
 
I can see them, they can't see me,
I feel out of sight.
I can't see them, they can't see me,
Much to my delight.
 
I know you won't believe me
But I'm certain that I did see
A mouse playing daffodil.
All the band was really jumping
 
With Jack Rabbit in there thumping.
I found that I couldn't sit still.
I just had to make it with them
'Cause they play my kind of rhythm
And the bees hummed in harmony
And the owl played his oboe
Then the frog's guitar solo
It was all too much for me...

I don't know what I'm searching for;
I never have opened the door.
Tomorrow might find me at last
Turning my back on the past
But time will tell of stars that fell
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back home, sweet home,
You can never go home anymore.
All my life I never really knew me 'til today.
Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way.
 
I lie awake for hours, I'm just waiting for the sun.
When the journey we are making has begun
Don't deny the feeling that is stealing through your heart,
Every happy ending needs to have a start.
 
All my life I never really knew me 'til today.
Now I know why, I'm just another step along the way.
 
Weep no more for treasures you've been searching for in vain
'Cos the truth is gently falling with the rain,
High above the forest lie the pastures of the sun
Where the two that learned the secret now are one.
 
I don't know what I'm searching for;
I never have opened the door.
Tomorrow might find me at last
Turning my back on the past
But time will tell of stars that fell
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back home, sweet home,
You can never go home anymore.
 

I'm going to sing my song,
And sing it all day long,
A song that never ends.
How can I tell you
All the things inside my head?
The change in these past years
Has made me see our world
In many different ways.
How can I tell you
Love can change our destiny?
 
Love can change the world,
Love can change your life.
Do what makes you happy,
Do what you know is right
And love with all your might
Before it's too late.
 
Where did I find all these words?
Something inside me is burning.
There's life in other worlds,
Maybe they'll come to Earth,
Helping Man to find a way.
 
[instrumental interlude]
 
One day I hope we'll be in perfect harmony,
A planet with one mind
Then I could tell you
All the things inside my head.
I'm going to sing my song,
And sing it all day long,
A song that never ends.
How can I tell you
All the things inside my head?
 
I'm going to sing my song...
