LOST IN A LOST WORLD
I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world,
'Cos so many people are dying,
Lost in a lost world.
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds,
In their eyes it's nation against nation,
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide,
Thinking only of themselves,
They shun the light,
They think they're right
Living in the empty shells.
Oh, can you see their world is crashing?
Crashing down around their feet
And angry people in the street
Are telling them they've had their fill
Of politics that wound and kill.
Grow, the seeds of evolution.
Revolution never won,
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
With all our brothers' youngest sons.
Everywhere you go you'll feel them searching,
Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain,
Everyone is looking for the answer,
We'll look again, come on my friend,
Love will find them in the end.
Come on, my friend, we've got to bend
On our knees and say a prayer.
Oh, can you feel the world is pining?
Pining for someone who really cares
Enough to share his love
With all of us, so we can be
An ever-loving family.
Have you forgotten we're all children?
Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
And started long ago
When you and I were only love.
I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world,
'Cos so many people are dying,
Lost in a lost world.
NEW HORIZONS
I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three.
I have my hopes to comfort me,
I've got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift,
It will always be that way,
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Some day, some way.
Where is this place that we have found?
Nobody knows where we are bound.
I long to hear, I need to see
'Cos I've shed tears too many for me.
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift,
It will always be that way,
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Some day, some way.
On the wind, soaring free,
Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see.
Out of mind, far from view,
Beyond the reach of the nightmare come true.
I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three.
I have my hopes to comfort me,
I've got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift,
It will always be that way,
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Some day, some way.
FOR MY LADY
My boat sails stormy seas,
Battles oceans filled with tears.
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady.
Give it freely and completely
To my lady.
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady.
Give it freely and completely
To my lady.
Words that you say when we're alone,
Though actions speak louder than words,
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady.
Give it freely and completely
To my lady.
Set sail towards the sun;
Feel the warmth that's just begun.
Share each and every dream,
They belong to everyone.
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady.
Give it freely and completely
To my lady.
ISN'T LIFE STRANGE
Isn't life strange,
A turn of the page
Can read like before,
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by,
How hard will man try?
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry.
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love.
Wished I could be in your eyes;
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't life strange,
A word we arrange
With no thought or care,
Maker of despair?
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one;
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry.
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love.
Wished I could be in your eyes;
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't life strange?
A turn of the page,
A book without light
Unless with love we write.
To throw it away,
To lose just a day,
The quicksand of time,
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry.
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love.
Wished I could be in your eyes;
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
YOU AND ME
There's a leafless tree in Asia,
Under the sun there's a homeless man,
There's a forest fire in the valley
Where the story all began.
What will be our last thought,
Do you think it's coming soon,
Will it be of comfort
Or the pain of a burning wound?
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got.
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop.
Ah! Never stop.
You're an ocean full of faces
And you know that we believe
We're just a wave that drifts around you
Singing all our hopes and dreams.
We look around in wonder
At the work that has been done
By the vision of our Father
Touched by his loving Son.
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got.
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop.
THE LAND OF MAKE-BELIEVE
We're living in the land of make-believe
And trying not to let it show.
Maybe in that land of make-believe
Heartaches can turn into joy.
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low;
We're taking up a lot of room.
Somewhere in the dark and silent night
Our prayer will be heard. Make it soon.
So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why, why.
Open up the shutters on your windows;
Unlock all the locks upon your door.
Brush away the cobwebs from your daydreams,
No secrets come between us any more.
Oh say it's true.
Only love will see you through,
You know what love can do to you.
We're living in the land of make-believe
And trying not to let it show.
Maybe in that land of make-believe
Heartaches can turn into joy.
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low;
We're taking up a lot of room.
Somewhere in the dark and lonely night
Our prayer will be heard. Make it soon.
So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why, why.
Open up the shutters on your windows;
Unlock all the locks upon your door.
Brush away the cobwebs from your daydream,
No secrets come between us any more.
Oh say it's true.
Only love will see you through,
You know what love can do to you.
WHEN YOU'RE A FREE MAN
Time quickly passes by,
If only we could talk again.
Some day I hope I'll see you (smiling)
When you're a free man again.
High on a mountain side
We laughed and talked of things to come.
Some way I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again.
You left your country
For peace of mind
And something tells me
You're doing alright.
How are the children
And Rosemary?
I long to see you
And be in your company.
Some way I hope I'll see you (smiling)
When you're a free man again.
I often wonder why
Our world has gone so far astray.
Some way I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again.
You gave love freely
To those with tears.
Your eyes were sad when
You saw the need.
You know that love lasts
For eternity.
Let's be God's children
And live in perfect harmony.
Some way I know I'll see you shining
When you're a free man,
When we're all free men again.
Yeah
I'M JUST A SINGER (IN A ROCK'N'ROLL
BAND)
I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people
Who are trying to be free.
And while I'm travelling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
Now we've found the key.
And if you want the wind of change to blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me:
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
Only who is the artist?
We gotta agree.
A thousand miles can lead so many ways;
Just to know who is driving
What a help it would be.
So if you want this world of yours to turn about you
And you can see exactly what to do, please tell me:
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth
Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
We're just singers in a rock and roll band.
