Met a man with the answer to everything
books and words from philsophers come
analysed and he cut down a winter tree
to find the sun.

Fell asleep, had a dream by the winter tree
heard the snow fall and melt into spring
saw the ice lose its hold
on the pale frost grass
to which it clings.

Chorus:
Have you ever seen a better day
though we follow many different ways
though your mind may hold the winter time
spring is never very far behind
in the summer under open skies
we'll see the sunshine, shine on
take it easy live today today
we'll see the sunshine, shine on.

When I woke there I was by the winter tree
nothing changed but a thought in the air
seasons turn, take their days
and in time, I'll take mine
I'll go back there.

Chorus

Shine on
take it easy live today today
we'll see the sunshine, shine on
 

A different smile upon her face
he's proud to be a part of it all
a welcome from the human race
a world so big and one that's so small
you see they've come so very far
but can't believe that's
the way it was planned
just can't understand
that only angels have wings
with all the love they could give
is this a fit place to live
where only angels have wings.

Through school days growing very fast
today a boy, tomorrow a man
his roots set deeply in the past
it's hard but keep your head if you can
you see he's come so very far
but can't believe that's
the way it was planned
just can't understand
that only angels have wings
ambition so low with nowhere to go
as only angels have wings.

Then suddenly an element of chance
night falls on his town
the colours blend and dance
he's breaking in, no time to go back
there must be some way out
making life easy - hear him shout it out.

His father can't believe his ears
his mother stands with tears in her eyes
no child of theirs could be so wrong
deep down inside a part of them dies
you see they tried so very hard
but just can't see that's
the way it was planned
just can't understand
that only angels have wings.

A part of our age, an action in rage
and only angels have wings
so far away, a time for second thought
things seem much clearer now
the price for being caught
he longs for home and wants to go back
to how it was before
an ordinary person, happy to be born
  

Turn of the golden key
company machine
sell his identity
spin their golden dream
sell him out as the boy next door
take him under their wing
gilded cage, but he has it made
golden bird he sings.

Sold out commodity
everything they need
image is fancy free
how they'd like to be
so they follow his every move
hang on in to his style
made the grade and he has it made
loved it for a while.

Chorus:
Another turn of the golden key
the biggest star in the sky
see him fly, he's flown away
another turn of the key
the music won't die
he still sings
but a new melody
he's singing for free.

Took on another name
for publicity
didn't plan all this fame
call the company
I'm not sure this is fair exchange
more to lose than I knew
I am lost and they own me now
golden bird he flew

Chorus
  

All at once we turned our heads
to find each other looking in a different way
laughter rang and people sang
but up above as night time fell
you ran away
so what do I do now
secret mission seemed so strange somehow.

It happened once it happened twice
I understood and took your love in anyway
leaving in a new direction
casual glances, take in every word you say
so special can't be told
secret missions have you in their hold.

Chorus:
Leaving for Rio, ships that pass in the night
spent a long day together once
your career at its height
it's so hard to miss you
when I don't even know your name
never the same
changes every day.

I've heard them say that you're the best
you're never caught and can't be found
and that's the test
I understand just what they mean
I've turned around to see you vanish
like a dream
stood on a tightrope for so long
secret meetings must go wrong.

Chorus
 

Each day brings me closer home to you
the place I long to see
horizons lost regained
always stay the same
in my mind never change for me - Kalynda.

I need to feel the warmth of open skies
to lay beneath the sun
and watch the love birds fly
clouds can fill my eyes
but still I see you reach for me - Kalynda.

Chorus:
I have held you close to all the times
you've stayed inside my soul
when I am half I think of you
and life becomes a whole
lazy shores are more to me
than shifting sand and sea
you're my all, my refuge, where I must be
to rest in peace awhile - I hold Kalynda.

Gentle wind that plays upon my face
caress the evening dream
and watch the twilight fade
into waking scenes
this I'll always share with you - Kalynda.

Chorus
  

Imagine a new world
unseen and without form
and this our day, a new dawn
some people are lonely
some people are so sad
reach out and give what you have.

Chorus:
Friends are always there
in good and bad times
always taking care, you're in my mind
and I'll try hard to take my share
call and you know I will be there
from the start right to the end
time for old friends.

If ever we're parted
I'll think of you with me
my smile, the one you give me
imagine this new world
friends full of sharing
a new world filled with caring.
