Toni Childs, David Ricketts
you walk like the angels talk
where are you from
you want to walk and talk like angels talk
tell me then some
with a room by the sea
and a voice in the sand
telling me your truth
and telling me your view
in how you see the world
spinning, spinning round
and what is love and what is death
the fears you have to put to rest
and so you walk
like angels talk
you want to walk and talk like the angels talk
this I hear
you want to walk and talk like the angels
tell me then dear
with a smile in the sun
and a face in the sand
sitting on a swing
unfolding bits of string
the face is innocence
but the words are something more
it's in the voice
it's in the sound
it's in the way the world is round
and so we walk
like angels talk
you want to walk and talk like the angels talk
this I hear
you want to walk and talk like the angels
tell me then dear
you see it's easy running angels down
and I can't help but shutter from the sound
it's that small girl
down by the sea
found the angel in me
the words are such
I'll always recall
as they faded into day
as they faded into day
as they faded into day
I walk away, it seems it's like a bad day
On the hill, I stand and stare away
Hoping for a brighter day
And I stand staring there
And I stand staring there today
I feel the rain fall upon my face
And wash away the things I feel inside
Turmoil is what moves the tides
And I stand staring there
And I stand staring there
And I begin another day
You say you hurt and the cut has been too deep
The blood that flows inside your soul has died
Cancer is the hurt inside
And I can't walk away and I can't show the pain
And I can't let it go and I can't let it go away
It's another day, the morning comes so bright
I feel lifted, now, the clouds have passed
I could be under a tree looking for an answer today
But though I cannot find some peace of mind
I know that I will be fine as I find my way to motherhood
Motherhood the question of a life
To be the window here into the world, the world
The earth it requires, that mother sit and mother sow the wheat
And as the grain comes down, mother surely feast
It's the story of the land
It's the heart, it's the soul of the man
It's the life, it's the God, it's the need
It's the life, it's the seed that we seek
But though I cannot find some peace of mind
I know that I will be fine as I find my way
It requires, that mother sit and mother sow the wheat
And as the grain comes down, mother surely feast
It's the story of the land
It's the heart, it's the soul of the man
It's the life, it's the God, it's the need
It's the life, it's the seed that we seek
How can I turn it away?
How can I say no to what I am?
The woman, the door, the woman
Now I sit with my child living out my life
I heard a man who called me
I heard his name unfold
I heard a man who called me
I heard his spirit told
I heard a music in me
I heard a sound inside
I heard a man remind me
of what lives inside
doo do a doo doo
how do you love?
and how do you care?
and how do you live and believe?
do you look away?I heard a music in me
I heard a sound inside
I heard a man remind me
of what lives inside
doo do a do do d-do
how do you love?
and how do you care?
how do you live and believe?
do you look away?
A man I met in my youth
Came to me in the light of truth
Beautiful dream that was
Till he died one rainy fall
There I was a child bride
Widowed at nineteen, defied
Never would I let him go
Go to the place that Heaven knows
On the evening of his death
My shoulders felt a brushing breath
Cold were his hands on my breast
The man that I loved and put to rest
He came to me and held me close
We danced till dawn in the early snow
There I felt him cry and cry
I'll never leave, leave your side
Oh, the madness
This town thinks I'm mad
Sixty years, has it been a dream?
This man I'm haunted by, I see
I'm eighty years and on my bed
Awaiting death, that final breath
He sits by and looks to me
Soon you will come and be with me
Now, I feel all warm inside
As I leave this mortal body behind
Seems it is eternal's way
I'm breathing in life, I'm breathing in her
I'm breathing in the darkness
Of what it is to live, it's beautiful here
I'm breathing in life, I'm breathing in blood
I'm breathing in the liquid
Of life and holy joy, it's beautiful here
There is safety in my ears
It's wonderful to be here with you
I'm feeling safe inside you
And I'm feeling like life would inside of you
The blood and the river are the same
We are one with you here the same
Mother, can you tell me please, am I safe
I decide for the world and I decide to be born
I decide for the world and I decide to be born
What will I think of this world?
What will I do in this world?
Toni Childs, David Ricketts
what you gonna do zimbabwae
what you gonna do zimbabwae
zimbabwae is a man who tried
to teach his children what was right
but then there came a time when war
split the family from inside
he said no fighting no more
what you gonna do zimbabwae
what you gonna do zimbabwae
the old man sits and shakes his head
while the multitudes insist
where is the cause of unity
with just one thought there could be peace
men gathered in silence the same
can there be some peace on earth
can there be a love
greater than the world we see
greater than us all
it's the last station home
it's the last station home
you ran your heart in those days
when no-one could see days
you want to run in the wind
you want to go back inside
see no more crime in your lifetime
zimbabwae, zimbabwae
no more crime in your lifetime
I see a graveyard's past
The revolution's taken back
Whatever happened to the sons
No more sunshine here
Only darkness here
There's no one living in this town
'Cause the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
The dead are dancing in the town
Yes, the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
The dead are dancing in the town
Mother Mary comes to me
In this graveyard of hypocrisy
But Father Renta says I'll have to pay
In the dead are buried lies
A sinful phantom cries
Can't we just rest up on the hill?
But the moonlight calls us
The moon, it calls us
Up and out into the town
Yes, the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
The dead are dancing in the town
Heaven, does it come to me?
In the dreaming that my soul's been freed
And the torment of my madness gone away
And though God says he loves
And I, I think of love
I cannot change the way I am
And so the moon, it calls me
The lunatic calls me
Up and out into the town
Yes, the dead are dancing
The dead are dancing
Ooh now, I am a woman
And you are a man
I was born different from you
On this earth we both stand
Now, as a daughter
I have learned rules and laws
What to say and not to say
What's acceptable to be called
In the woman's boat
On the woman's sea
They are calling us
They are calling us to sea
And yes, I have my worries
About the human race
You see my breasts are aching
And I hope it's not too late
For the woman's boat
On the woman's sea
They are calling us
And they're calling me
How the seasons change?
They rock and they rage
Will I please allow the thunder
And the birth inside of me?
Now, do you believe in powers
Like the human and the seed?
And how evolution happens
How the whirlpool spins in me?
Oh, grandmother tell us your secrets
Your stories passed down through the years
Could I really believe it?
Is there something happening here?
In the woman's boat
On the woman's sea
Is there something hidden
Something to see
Oh, the seasons change
They're rocky and they rage
Will I please allow the thunder
It'll be a long time coming, boy
Till we meet again
It'll be a long time coming, boy
Till we meet again
It's part of life I don't like
Saying goodbye to old friends
And the end of life
And what we know
It'll be a long time coming, boy
Till we meet again
Well, it's time to say goodbye
And all the things we've said and cried
Through our lives
You will be on my lips
It'll be a long time coming, boy
Till we meet again
It'll be a long time coming, boy
Till we meet again
It'll be a long time coming, boy
Till we meet again
Into the earth we go and we dive
Into the spirit world where our hearts lie
We go down into the sea of eternal life
They say there is a light and we're freed
Some day we will find a better place, they say
Some day we will finally meet some day
We will sing in joy
We will sing amazing grace and say we loved to know
Long time coming, a long time
Will come some day
We will meet on that glorious day
Long time coming, a long time
It'll come some day
Long time coming, a long time
While you're standing there, I'm standing in a field
In my mind, you can't take that away
Daddy comes to me in darkness not in light
Why I gave you all my love and you showed no mercy
You tried to pin me down with emotion feeling things
A butterfly display, a simple fall from grace
I'm closing down my heart, I'm putting up the wall
Why I gave you all my love and you showed no mercy
Here I sit, looking to the light
In my head I have the peace of mind I've lost tonight
There are flowers here and hills and horses too I ride in my dreams
And I'm afraid I'll have to go back
Go back to the night, Daddy holds me tight
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my head, someone help me now
Daddy comes to me in darkness not in light
Why I gave you all my love and you showed no mercy
[Incomprehensible]
I just want to know, now, what it is to survive
Daddy's song and daddy's lies
I've gotta know, I've gotta know, I've gotta know
I've gotta know, I've gotta know, I've gotta know
I've gotta know, I've gotta know
What it is? How it happened?
I've just got to know, now, what it is to survive
Daddy's song and daddy's lies
I've gotta know, I've gotta know, I've gotta know
I've gotta know, I've gotta know, I've gotta know
I've gotta know, I've gotta know
What it is? How it happened?
I've just got to know, now, what it means to survive
And to live out daddy's lies
I've got to live, I've got to live, I've got to live
I've got to live, I've got to live, I've got to live
I'd never change a single thing I've done
I'll pack my bags and say I'm on my way back now
just keep the trains long, long, loves distance far from me
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way back home
let the rain come down
let the rain come down
come down on me
come down
let it come down
how could I hold you in so close
and how could I not let anybody know
how sweet it is to call your name
if you loved me once
would it be the same
the smell of love
is fresh inside my heart
and not all the things we've learned
to tear us both apart
what I feel now tells me I must go
I'm not who you love anymore
let the rain come down
let the rain come down
come down on me
come down
let it come down
Toni Childs, David Ricketts
why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you're getting everything
you ever wanted to
let's not talk about the bad times
we've been through that before
it's not right
for making love anymore
just stop your fussin boy
please stop your fussin boy
for your time will come
yes your time will come
can you lay me down
in meadows soft and green
and can you lay me down
and talk to me of things
like stars that burn into the night
and moons that turn with purple lines
that's what I want
just stop your fussin boy
please stop your fussin boy
your time will come
can't you just stop your fussin, boy
please stop your fussin boy
can someone tell me why it is
how we could spend so many lonely years
when there's a light at the end of life
it's enough it's enough it's enough
it's enough to try
we can see the light
we can feel the warmth
we can see it shine
we can see it all in our lifetime
so why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you're getting everything
you ever wanted, too
stop your fussin
just stop your fussin
for your time will come
we can see it in our lifetime
I can hear
your voice, your voice
calling from the window
when you yelled that night
I didn't understand at all
but you hurt
and you cried
and you're mad
and you're angry at the world
you want to tear it down
you want to pull it down, down down
come on and lay down
lay down, lay down your pain
having you here, feels good
feels good inside the afternoon
and no one else
could ever take away that, man
you wanted love
but have you fear
you wanted love but it's the fear
and yet the fear it feels so real
and you run, run away
running from the pain, the pain
come on and lay down

don't give it up, boy
don't you give it up, don't give it

the world, the world is a better place
and this world is a better place

1234567 all good boys go to heaven
that's what they say
cause the world is a better place
yes, the world is a better place
come on, come on and lay down
won't you lay down this pain
the world is a better place
lay down your pain
This man I married is buried deep
And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
I used to think I knew this man
The tenderness, not the back of his hand
It's been two weeks since he last had a drink
But the time bomb's ticking, I can never sleep
It would be easier if he did
Why do I stay here, stay with him?
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Must be addicted to all this pain
'Cause I keep coming back for the shame
Dear God, give me the strength to leave
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Don't try to stop us now
Don't pull that stuff on me
I've got the kids all packed up
Harry's in the back with his pick up truck
Jenny's fallen asleep again
I've got to keep driving 'til I reach the end
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Can't come back here anymore
And I know it, I know it
I, I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
The wild bride lives in the back of a forest
On a black dark path
Her feet are like tree roots, her hands of vines
And she holds you and she will entwine
(Dreams, she finds out are shattered like a knife)
She has thorns and she scars and she will leave her mark
(And she hopes that somewhere along the line she might find)
She's the wild one, she's the wild bride
The wild bride asks, she hopes for the future
And children, an abundance of them
But a ball and a chain and war, her domain
She wants them no longer this way
(Dreams she finds out are shattered like a knife)
Can I tear back the veils that are here?
Resisting the white gown I fear for the wildness
(And she hopes that somewhere along the line she might find)
In me wants to exist
Why must I wear these tattered old dresses
And white lace over my gown?
And why must I be a Barbie doll figure
Like on a cake, on a crown?
And the dreams she finds out are shattered like a knife
(Why does it have to be? Can I change the loop on the wild bride)
And she hopes that somewhere along the line
(Underneath)
She might find love
(Dreams she finds out are shattered like a knife)
The wild bride falls to the earth
A sacrifice no one can break from this ball and chain
(And she hopes that somewhere along the line)
Of this wild bride
(She might find)
The thorns in her hands
And a rose for her skins
And belly filled with gold
And seed like a pomegranate
And roots for her limbs
Where's the ocean, where's the ocean?
Where's the ocean for us and us?
As my body touches you
And my soul entwines the view
Of an ocean and a sea of love
Down into the depths of time and all eternity
Down into the depths of all the things I find reminding me
Your voice it calling me haunting me like ghosts at sea
Will you be the one my ocean and my divine
Where's the ocean, where's the ocean?
Where's the moments I once knew inside my heart
Where's the ocean, where's the ocean?
Where's the ocean for us and us
I stand pointed by the view you want to stay
As the silhouette of lovers as they fade into decay
Playing with the thoughts still tortured we were once true lovers
But now I don't see the ocean very clear
Where's the ocean, where's the ocean?
Where's the moments I once knew inside my heart
Where's the ocean, where's the ocean?
Where's the ocean for us and us
Come and dive into my sea
Come and dive into my sea
Come and dive into my ocean
And remember the call
And remember the cry of time
Where's the ocean?
Where's the moments I once knew inside my heart?
Where's the ocean for us, where's the ocean for me
When you covered me with kisses oh it meant so very much
Where's the ocean, where's the ocean?
The ocean's here
The ocean's here
Well, I'm addicted boy
And you're sound some peace
But I don't think the money's
Gonna take away the need
And yes I'm hurting girl
You won't see it much
'Cause it's the stuff we don't let out
It's what you will not touch
What it is now heart?
What we need to find?
It seems we're all lookin' for
Some peace of mind
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness of my life
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness there is no light
What you're lookin' for?
What you're lookin' for?
To be satisfied
To go underground
To swim inside the ocean
Descend to the profound
To reach the bedrock
A quest, a psychic death
A wild thought, I just caught
Would this be the end?
Can you help me now?
Can you tell me please?
How to find
Some peace and relief?
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness of my life
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness there is no light
What you're lookin' for?
What you're lookin' for?
What you're lookin' for?
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness of my life
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness there is no light
There is no light
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness of my life
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness there is no light
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness of my life
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness there is no light
Where's the light, where's the light
In the darkness of my life
Where's the light, where's the light
Hush, now go to sleep
Go to sleep, my baby
Hush, now go to sleep
Go to sleep, my baby
Let me welcome you to this world
And let me tell you of my world
How it is and how it is
You want to know now?
I want to say that it's a bad world
And tell you that it's so, so bad
I don't want to disappoint you my child
But this world is gonna take you
Gonna take you by storm child
You will be hurt and there will be pain, yeah
But there will be love just the same, yeah
Welcome to the world, my boy and girl
Welcome to the world, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world, child and all it has in store
You will do what you do, what you choose any old time
And take how you take, you'll begin to find
That fight as you fight as you will in life
Solutions, confusions won't you take this time now
I want to welcome you to this world
And yes, there'll be days and nights
And you'll know the world is alright
Round and round the world we go
Easy come, some say, easy go
The world could be a better place
But it's going to take the whole human race
We want to welcome you to this world
And yes, there'll be days and nights
When you'll wonder is the world right
We want to welcome you to this world
And yes, there'll be days and nights
And you'll know the world is alright
We all bounce on the big world ball
Come child, come with me
Come and bounce onto this world and see
Come child, come with me
Come and bounce onto this world and see
We are joy, we are light
We are darkness and we are night
We are hands and heads and ears and nose
We are feet, fingers, limbs and toes
We all, we all, we are bouncing on this big world ball
We all, we all, we are bouncing on this big world ball
We pull triggers, we play with guns
We play with shoelaces and we twist our tongues
We are kisses, we are hugs
Toni Childs, David Ricketts
there's an old man talkin
to a young boy weepin
to an old man shaking his head
there's a cool gentle breeze
in the night full of light
as the red glow wavers in the stead
there's a black man crying
and a white man dyin
and a black man's head in the air
the shock of life
feeds the fight
the fight that's in my head
holding tight in the stillness of the night
in the stillness of my thoughts
yet, I know I've only started
beating on a tin drum marching to a sound
what is it I think?
am I beating on a tin drum marching to a cause
when I don't know what it is I believe
lonely peeping chick
calling to his mother
runs amuck
in a sunken black ditch
and wilham's with the widow
while martha's in the meadow
and the lamb is a layin in sick
and the boy in back
is talking some slack
to the king of auld lang syne
and my heart goes out
but I cannot spout what I do not know inside
holding tight in the stillness of my mind
in the stillness of my thought
Used to sit and wonder what to do
And I still do when I'm feeling blue
Fearful that my struggle with life will never end
Help me, please, to stop
This fear in motion, these circles turn me
Someone help me put this fire out
Yes, they hurt me, yes, they turn me
Someone help me put this fire out
Running, I am scared, what I will see
If I look inside, deep these wounds of mine
Hurting me so long, I can't ignore them anymore
Help me, please, to find
This fear in motion, these circles turn me
Someone help me put this fire out
Yes, they hurt me, yes, they turn me
Someone help me put this fire out
Somebody help me put it out
Innocence is lost on the small
Mama said, early, early on
What was visible to me in my dreams
Is that the pain was all I could ever see
And it moves me, yes it turns me
Someone help me put this fire out
Yes it hurts me, yes it turns me
Someone help me put this fire out
Somebody help me, somebody help me
Somebody help me, somebody help me
Somebody help me, somebody help me
Somebody help me, please, somebody help me
Walking down the road
I feel so low, low, low
And I'm feeling like I don't know life
I don't know, know, know
There's something in my head
Something haunting me
Something that I'd rather say
Goodbye, goodbye
It's another deception
It's a voice that's being cruel
It's the predator deep inside
You meet a blue beard on the road
He's saying hello, hello
And he shakes you by the hand
He says you're gonna blow, man you're gonna blow
He's a clever person my dear
He's a clever one to fear
He's the one who says
Don't open up that door
It's a monster, I can tell you
It's someone to be scared of
It's the predator deep inside
He's coming for you
He's coming for you now
He's coming for you now
He, he sounds a little scary
As he whispers, he tells you and you frown
You're losing, losing your ground
You want to, move him out deny he's there
But you can't let out that he's in your head
It's the predator
It's the predator who lives inside your head
It's the predator inside you, it's remarkable disguise you
It's the mask you won't admit inside your head
Walking with the man at night
He don't know, know, know
And he's fucking with your head
He says you don't know, know, know
It's radio K fuck
It's coming in loud and clear
But the signals crossed
You can't shut it off and it knows no fear
It's a monster
I can tell you
It's someone to be scared of
It's the predator deep inside
It's not the sharks outside you
It's not living in the dark
It's what lurks inside your mind
Many Rivers To Cross: lyrics
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I'm lost
As I travel along these white cliffs of dover
I've got many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man has left me and he didn't say why
Well, I guess I wish I'll cry
Many rivers to cross
But where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself (find myself)
Thinking of committing some crime
Some dreadful crime
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
I'm Wandering, I'm lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My man has left me and he didn't say why
Well, I guess I wish I'll cry
Ohhh
many river
many river
many rivers
yeah
I've got many
I've got many
Oh many rivers to cross
I've got many rivers to cross
many rivers to cross
And I can't find my way over
've got many rivers to cross
many rivers to cross
Toni Childs, David Ricketts, David Batteau
I'd never change a single thing I've done
I'll pack my bags and say I'm on my way back now
just keep the trains long, long, loves distance far from me
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way back home
let the rain come down
let the rain come down
come down on me
come down
let it come down
how could I hold you in so close
and how could I not let anybody know
how sweet it is to call your name
if you loved me once
would it be the same
the smell of love
is fresh inside my heart
and not all the things we've learned
to tear us both apart
what I feel now tells me I must go
I'm not who you love anymore
let the rain come down
let the rain come down
come down on me
come down
I just want affection
I wanna feel you near
I wanna know that you're real
That you are for real
They say I have a problem
They say there's something wrong
So wrong with wanting and desire
This desire is strong
I just want affection
I just wanna sweat
I'm wanting to feel
That life is real
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
I just want affection
I wanna feel you here
I wanna know that you're real
And that I really do feel
That you can love me
And I can love you
And you can love me
And I can love you
I just want affection
Can you help me please now?
I need a desperate need of attention
Am I wrong for that, am I?
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
I just want affection
I need to sweat
I need to know
That this world is this world
And I'm not alone
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Is there something wrong with that?
(No, no, no)
Hush, hush
Sarah says it?s not too late
(Hush)
When running out of words to say
(Hush)
No one can believe it?s soul time
No one else can see the light of day
(Hush)
Close your eyes and go to sleep
Put away those tired dreams
Quiet now all in your heart
Let all the joy begin to start
Holding out your heart in anger
Holding out your heart, not faking
Holding out your love to him, girl
All the things you think you?ll win
You want love, you need love
And the struggle and the power
It?s harder just to make it
And it?s all that we can try
(Hush)
I believe in love
(Hush)
Just the thing be on your mind
Young man says it?s not too late
(Hush)
Just put away that violent pain
(Hush)
Holding out your heart in anger
Holding out your heart, not faking
Holding out your love to him, girl
All the things you think you?ll win
You want love, you need love
And the struggle and the power
It?s harder just to make it
But it?s all that we can try
(Hush)
I believe in love
(Hush)
Just the thing be on your mind
(Hush)
You want love, you need love
And the struggle and the power
It?s harder just to make it
But it?s all that we can try
And the good love is so ruly
And without love, nothing truly
When we lie, when we cry
But it?s all that we can try
(Hush)
I believe in love
(Hush)
Just the thing be on your mind
What it is [Incomprehensible]
(Hush)
Keep this love alive
What it is [Incomprehensible]
(Hush)
Children laugh, children cry
They're the future of our time
Will they hold us to blame
For all the things we've turned away
I don't like what I see now
In my life what I see now
I don't like where we're going
I don't like it, no
You and I
We're getting older now
You and I
Who will show them
If we don't show them how
I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you
I, I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you
Children laugh, children cry
They're the ones who will survive
Will they know what we've sold
Nature's gift we've turned for gold
I don't like what I see now
In my life, what I see now
I don't like where we're going
I don't like it, no
You and I
We're getting older now
You and I
Who will show them
If we don't show them how?
I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you
I, I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you
In this house of hope
In this house of hope
In this house of hope
In this house of hope
You and I, I
We're getting older now
You and I, I
Who will show them
If we don't show them how?
I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you?
I, I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you?
I just want to know, I just want to know
I just want to know, Just want to know
I just want to know, I just want to know
Can you tell me? Can you tell me?
Can you tell me, please?
I need to love you a lot, I need you for me
I need to know know, I need to know know
I need to know know, can this really be?
I got got to know

Toni Childs, David Ricketts
can't stop, stop the hurting
can't stop, stop the breathing
can't stop, stop these tears for you my dear
don't know why it's so bad
this life's been so bad
I'm glad I finally found you here
you're the voice of a dream I had
you're the voice and I'm so glad
you're the weight of a dream of a life come true
there's no denying
I sometimes run and chase the moon
I just can
I sometimes run and chase the views
and dream of you
my heart locked in absence
my heart locked and fearful
I see no-one can be here today
my thoughts locked in thinking
my thoughts not believing
I see no-one can be here with me
you're the light of a dream I had
you're the voice and I'm so glad
you're the weight of a dream of a life come true
there's no denying
I sometimes run and chase the moon
and think of you
I sometimes run and chase the views
and not of you
I sometimes run and chase the moon
but I'm just dreaming
I sometimes run and chase the views
but I'm still dreaming
dreaming
I'm dreaming
Oh mother, can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Did you die alone and afraid?
That no one knew the pain
That still remained
Inside your breast this night
Inside this holy place
A place into the void
Can you hear, hear me now as I call?
I'm calling you here, I can't explain
Explosions and the wound in my heart today
I'm killing myself with drink
I'm killing myself to think
I didn't tell you, I cared
Can you hear?
I needed to say
To let you know
I felt your pain
I'm calling your name to let you know
That I'm sorry for the shame, disguised as blame
And the hurt and pain and the love I couldn't say
That I want to say now
Oh, peace
Let there be peace
Let there be peace
Let there be peace
Let there be peace
It's beautiful here
There is safety in my ears
It's wonderful to be here with you
I breathin' in light, I breathin' in her
I breathin' in the darkness of what it is to live
It's beautiful here
I breathin' in life, I breathin' in blood
I breathin' in lonely [Incomprehensible] of life and holy joy
It's beautiful here, there is safety in my ears
It's wonderful to be here with you
I'm feelin' safe inside you
And I'm feelin' like life would inside you
The blood and the river, said
"We are one with you here the same"
Mother, can you tell me please?
Am I'm safe?
I decide [Incomprehensible]
I decide to be whole
And I decide all the world
And I decide to be born
But when I think of this world
What will I do in this world?
I see angels
i see devils in me too
and yes
i am angry and frustrated too
im no different, different than you
and I've been hurt
and wounded
and yes, I've been abused
now i can see you
holding out your hand
hoping that, someone will, finally understand
that you're beautiful
yes you're beautiful
you are beautiful
you are beautiful
deep in the silence, before the dawn
the wounded, the battle scarred
the nicks and the cut
don't let it define you, let it all blow away
reach for the stars, the moon please
find your way
don't you know you're beautiful
cause you're beautiful
cause you're beautiful
i see angels
i hear devils in me too
and yes, i am human
and i want nothing from you
don't you see you're beautiful
yes you're beautiful
we are beautiful
yes you're beautiful
its the time to choose, what you want now
its the time to declare, who you are now
its the time to, reach for the stars now
its the time to believe in yourself now
dream with me now
dream with me now
dream with me now
dream with me now
dream with me now
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Tell me now what is in my heart
The kind of lies that have torn us apart
You lay down in the road
Baring your bloody soul
Don't need no satisfaction
Guaranteed my main attraction
Ripping love out by the roots
Though my ghost is still with you
It hurts to watch you turn away
So I'm tearing out the truth
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Time passes slowly, time passes on
Waiting for my man to call
When there's no man at all
Do I stand here waiting
For the earth to turn to dust
Give up my passion rendering my lust
Or do I walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Ripping out the root of love
Ripping out the root of love
Yeah yeah yeah
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Ripping love out by the roots
Though my ghost is still with you
It hurts to watch you turn away
So I'm tearing out the truth
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't walk away
Ripping out the root of love
Don't you walk away
Ripping out the root of love
I'm ripping out the root of love
It hurts to watch you turn away
So I'm tearing out the truth
Don't walk away
Children laugh, children cry
They're the future of our time
Will they hold us to blame
For all the things we've turned away
I don't like what I see now
In my life what I see now
I don't like where we're going
I don't like it, no
You and I
We're getting older now

I don't like what I see now

I don't like where we're going
I don't like it, no
You and I
We're getting older now
You and I
Who will show them

I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you?
I, I want to know who is it true
Is there a house of hope for me and you?
I just want to know, I just want to know
I just want to know, Just want to know
I just want to know, I just want to know
Can you tell me? Can you tell me?
Can you tell me, please?
I need to love you a lot, I need you for me
I need to know know, I need to know know
I need to know know, can this really be?
I got got to know
I, I got got to know
I'd like to get next to you if you want me to
I'd like to get next to you if you want me to
I could hold you, maybe I could show you
But I'm afraid 'cause you see I have been hurt before
Though I don't wanna hurt no more
This feeling inside of me is strong in me, is strong in me
Could you tell me who you are? And would I really wanna know
What's it been for you just to trust and hold on to?
I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to
I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to
You could hold me, maybe you could show me
How to trust 'cause you see I have been hurt before
Though I don't wanna hurt no more
This feeling inside of me is strong in me, is strong in me
Could I tell you who I am? And would you really wanna know?
What it's been for me just to trust and to believe
I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to
I'd like to get next to you whenever you want me to
I wanna get next to you whenever you want me to
I wanna get next to you whenever you want me to
Could I show you who I am? Would you really want to understand?
Holding skin to skin, my emotion feels like it has no end
Could I show you myself? Could I get right next to you?
I keep finding this decision hard
I keep finding a room that's in the dark
I don't know, shed some light on it
Maybe save me from
What I'm feeling this lonely day
'Cause the secrets out and the secrets clear what I want
Yes, I want to walk with you
I want to hear you say, yes, I want that too
I want to walk, I want to walk with you
I want to hear you say, yes, I want that too
Can I tell you what I cannot tell myself
In my thoughts there's a voice calling
You will be lost
In my life I deny, deny this heavy load
And obsession is clearly my need to know
Can I let it out, can I let you know, what I want
Yes, I want to walk with you
I want to hear you say, yes, I want that too
I want to walk, I want to walk with you
I want to hear you say, yes, I want that too
I don't want to run from this
It seems that it'd be hard to do now
I don't want to lose my head
Falling down in front of you
I don't want to lose my head now
It could be so easy to do
If I could find a reason why
I'd stay here, stay here, stay here, stay here, stay
I want to walk, I want to walk with you
I want to hear you say, yes, I want that too
I want to walk, I want to walk with you
I want to hear you say, yes, I want that too
I want to give love, I want to share
I want to show you just how much I care
I want to hold you, I want to touch
I want to give my love away
I want to walk, I want to walk
I want to know what it is in my soul
I want to walk, I want to walk
I want to know what it is in my soul
I want to give love, I want to share
I want to show you just how much I care
I want to give love, I want to touch
