Before a word was spoken
My heart was broken
Feel me now

Before a word was spoken
My heart was broken
Feel me now

Wait a minute
Stop! Stop!
Here comes a love song
There goes the banister!
Feel me now

Find a plate glass window waiting for you
And you and you
Ohhh

There goes a banister
Find a plate glass window waiting for you

Feel me now (x 2)
won't you feel me now?
Wont you feel the pain?
Wait a minute
Here comes a love song
North Star
Where are you
Come guide me home
This love
Wont end
If I see you soon
I cant turn night to day
I can explain it
Oh please
North star, come bring me home
Its been a long time coming
But its well worth waiting
And I raise my hands
And ask for nothing more
If we are of the same mind, finally
It was worth the calamity of you being mad at me
U know i've got feelings too they come stealing through
And batter me properly revealing my sensitivity
We don't get this time for free
Take my hand and promise me your love and honesty
And this soliloquy would not have been in vain
On our journey of life lets take the slow train
(its been a long time coming)
Waiting for the train
(its well worth waiting)
Take my hand
(and I raise my hands)
We don't get this time for free
(and ask for nothing more)
Hey.
Its been a long time coming
But its well worth waiting
And I raise my hands
And ask for nothing more
(doooddddooooooooddddooooooooooo... - sounds)
L... O...N... G... time coming... (Echo sound effects)
Its been a looooooooong time coming...
I'm the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we cart them around everywhere
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say bring together the lines of me.
When I look back over the years
at the things that brought tears to my eyes
papa said we have to be wise
to live long lives
now i recognise
what my father said before he died
vocalise things I've left unsaid
left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family
Where i can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestry
Givin' me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
would you rather I quit
come with the other shit
making people's hips sway
lip service I pay but i'm nervous
i pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
like a lifeline I write lines cause my compassion is deep
for the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
and this is who i happen to be
and if I don't see that I'm strong then I won't be
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
for my culture
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hello Dad, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be.
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I've been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, that's right my name's Rob
I'm the one who landed the popstars job
I'm the one who you told : look, don't touch
I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much.
I believe in the sense of sight and sound
I have always been too loud
wont you help me drown it out?
I'm what I feel
what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a mess of spinnin' wheel's always digging in my heels.
Now I got the faith to
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hah, lace up your boots
Going back to your roots continue my interlude
Freak freaking for loot
And my spell's been to check what your future brings is now
and your forefathers further know How
but now what happened to the world without the hatred
Use your head if the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by birth
spreading the lords word over this broad earth
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he told me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again (For my culture)
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again

MARGHERITA
L'altra notte in fondo al mare
Il mio bimbo hanno gittato,
Or per farmi delirare dicon ch'io
L'abbia affogato.
L'aura è fredda,
Il carcer fosco,
E la mesta anima mia
Come il passero del bosco
Vola, vola, vola via.
Ah! Pietà di me!
In letargico sopore
E' mia madre addormentata,
E per colmo dell'orrore dicon ch'io
L'abbia attoscata.
L'aura è fredda,
binds to the skin
they're the same
neither sun nor sand
tubes to the mouth
cannot laugh or sigh
or even cry
a drop in the ocean
a second and all time
one stop in the endless sky
but you mean
the whole world to me
you're an island of light
so please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
stay one more day
stay one more
stay one more
stay one more day
just one more
just one more
just one more day
all this madness around us
you are no one
and so still
you were made in love
grew in hope
were born in pain
you left them running round
trying to make you breath again
one tiny link
in and endless chain
but you mean
the whole world to me
you're an island of light
so please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
Mass Destruction (No Roots)
[CHORUS]
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruct
You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed told me some facts.
Son, I have the duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight
[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find the courages, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)
The skin under my chin is exploding again.
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if i get friction we get to fighting.
I'll defend my dad he's the best of all men
and whatever he's doing he's doing the right thing.
It's frightening, but it makes me mad,
Why do all of these people seem to hate my dad?
And if that ain't enough now i get these spots.
I go to sleep every night with my stomache in knots
And what's more, i can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war.
And all we ever seem to do is hide the tears.
Seems like daddy been gone for years.
But he was right, now i'm geared up for the fight
and he would be proud of me.
[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find the courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)
My story stops here, lets be clear.
This scenario is happening everywhere.
And you ain't going to nirvana or far-vana,
you're coming right back here to live out your karma.
With even more drama than previously, seriously.
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
that people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight.
There's only now, do it right.
'Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find the courages, overcome
In our world, Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds.
11 Million children die every year of mal-nutrition.
(To all new arrivals, welcome)
In our world, 15 Million children have been orphaned by AIDS.
30, 000 children die of preventable causes every day.
(To all new arrivals, welcome)
In our world, 2 million children are working in the sex trade this moment.
1.1 Billion people in the world, earn less than a dollar a day.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.
If theres a God, be aware, I'm a man newly made.
My son lies here, and only of him, am I afraid.
As I gaze into that face, I perceive that which is true.
I created him, and we created you... in his image.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.
And I never knew love like this.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
I want the view from the top of the hill
Give me the view from the top of the hill
When I think of you
And your good life
And your sorrow too
How much i'm missing you
No matter where i go
Or where I come to stay
This is waking up
I want this feeling
Doors wide open
And now i leave it all
Bags of trouble
And a messy mind
Oh I hope I find
Where your load is light
Where your heart's at ease
This is waking up
And feeling good feeling good
Hey i'm making my mistakes
Cause I'm no great shakes at being perfect
I just take my breaks and work it
Bring it to the surface
Like a scuba diver
Never nervous
Cause now i'm older and wiser
An' I've a bold feelin
This old skin is peeln
Revealing a new layer
I'm no soothsayer
But I feel it's time to leave
To polish my heart with the other sleeve
I want the view from the top of the hill
Give me the view from the top of the hill
I want the view from the top of the hill
Give me the view from the top of the hill

[Jonny 'Itch' Fox]
Til there is justice, there can be no peace,
In times of roughness, we will storm the streets,
Through all this toughness, witness the swarm increase
We don't die, we multiply, we are one everything
Here to overthrow the table of the moneychangers
We own the throne so hand it over to the grubby angels
The streets are ours but we ain't taken this town yet
We built it up but we ain't torn it down yet
We got to
We got to
Chase them crazy
Chase them crazy bal'heads
Chase them crazy
Chase them crazy bal'heads
Chase them crazy bal'heads out of town!
Chase them crazy

Crisis, in the supermarket-prices
Prospects, not the nicest, my wife is
About as cold as ice is
When stressed, she's not the wisest, who is?
We all got baggage, hers is financial
Peace to my uncle and so thanks to
A loan from him
We still have a home to live in
I'm learning to ride the riddim, when she come in
Face full of arguing
Another nice night in ruin
Remembering back when we were just into each other
Now we just injure each other, without thinking
And when the silence fall, and the world gets really small
She crawl into bed, I'm in my three fifty zed
High speed meditation just to ease my head
Light beep on as I slide in
Put the music on to keep me from crying
A tear may escape as I scrape first gear
But have no fear I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
Hmmm...
I'll never stop trying
I love the surge, the pull, away from the curb
The way the sound-reverberate
As I push my foot down, accelerate straight out of town
And with the help of James Brown on the tape
I reach escape velocity on the M3
Transcend my physical bounderies
Blend with the mystic reality
And finally, I'm free
Travelling instantaneously through space
'till I will reach that place within me
That has no trace of a beginning, has no end
Where I both recieve and send
My soul fills the universe end to end
And I feel myself heal and mend
My mind is still and I'm floating
Look down, throttle's still wide open
Inner serenity comfort me, past junction twenty three
On my way back, full chat and I'm flying
I won't crack and I'll never stop trying
I'm flying, I'll never stop trying
I'm flying
(woman singing)
It's like all of a sudden
And everything is different
You can still see everything around you
But it's all completely lost its significance
It's not important anymore
This inner-acceptance that you are we
And everything that is
Is you
Emotions unstick and fall away
Til all that remains is joy
My earthly body's doing one sixty
And float free in the realm of eternity
The essential inner drama
Where my rhythm resonates so all phenomenom full uppa
Original stamina
Look uppa
I know the speed camera
Physical laws unravel
I travel through the fabric hole
The unseen going mad quick
Some call it magic
They flash and I never get a ticket, boom
I'm leaving with the mystic laws
So benefit is automatic
And I'm back with my girl
Back in the real world
Two AM, we both tired of arguin
She wanna know we're I been
Back before big bang and then back again
And she scold me, stop lying
And I told her, and I hold her
I'll never stop trying, baby
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying, for you
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying, for you
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
Although I don't really know how to handle you
I will have nobody kicking no sand in your face
Not even a trace of bland in you
Teenage and it's a trouble understanding you
You got plenty of energy and stamina
Forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in you
There's a bit of, 'I don't give a damn' in you, ha
And that's your old man in you
Stand in your way, never or ever abandon ya
And on the day people say what they can't stand in ya
Don't let your ego get out of hand on ya
It ain't a good look when crook-kharma land on ya
Balance yourself, bring out the Zinedine Zidane in you
The I will and I can in you
Execute the grand plan in you
I'm your daddy and happy to see the man in you
Might know too much but I'm no soft touch
Brought you up, to recognize lies as such
I need no crutch, child hood was arduous
And if there is a God I'm sure He would pardon us
Must be working hard in us, not to harden us
10, that you really wanna be
20, exactly what you see is on telly
11, you can't tell him anything
That he don't know already
12, they get together steady
Explore the 1st keeping up with the many
13, none of them are ready
Living on old raised broke not a penny
14, baby in the belly
She's all done a runner another no daddy
15, Nanny and she loves it dearly
Head strong proving all along but wary
16, scale we were quite contrary
This is how the garden grows
This is how the garden grows
Children, you still own the power
To turn this into your finest hour
Now a young ma mum that mistake
Can make a contribution why don't we wait and see
Give back the mothers their dignity
And the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility
This society needs to learn empathy
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour
Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls and a roof, electricity, stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime but still you whine
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king on just one crumb of ya cake
And ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What do ya mean
I want more
I was told as a child
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you
Ain't got no reason to be down
What do ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What do ya mean
I want more
What do ya mean
I want more
Both physical and sensory
My entity
Indivisible from nature's whole treasure
This Identity
Vast, beyond measure
I share with the oceans, dark matter, and you
Mirrors, smoke and mirrors
Gears re-unite
Vacant, so much room inside
in such a hurry, no where to stop
no where to stop
in such a hurry
no where to stop
all our plans
we wake up chasing the wind
catching shadows and losing our heads
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around on myself
It's been years and I could use the help
to carry us back to that place
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around
I'm coming around
I'm coming around
mirrors, smoke and mirrors,
it's hard to face myself
hard to face myself
vacant, so much room inside
it's hard to stop myself
hard to deal with myself
all our lives
we wake up chasing the wind
catching shadows and losing our heads
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around on myself
It's been years and I could use the help
show me where's the window to escape
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around
Now you can't do it fast, it won't be an [Incomprehensible] you
I'm not going to bed
Just do it, do it, that's right
Here we go
Saving all my money for a pocketful of love
And food in my tummy
Chocolate and broccoli
Sand and dirt and squashing snails
I'm never going to bed but if I do
Selfish crocodile's coming too
Train sets, birthdays and re-living
Pizzas, diggers and dirty things
What I want is a car like Noddy
And to live with the monkeys in the zoo
I'm never going to bed but if I do
Hungry caterpillar's coming too
He's coming, yeah
He's coming
He's coming, yeah
Here he is
On candy stripe legs, spider man comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim, shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do and I realize with fright
The spider man is having me for dinner tonight
The spider man is always hungry
Under the covers, boy
You been reading those comics for hours
I bet you didn't know your dad had super powers
Now where's your dinner
When we play down the rules with your ma?
She gave me vexed when me flex me ex-rapism
It'll come son, the way is you'll develop it later on
Also the back river run for nothing but wisdom
'Cause you're the born sky walker, I may be everyone
Now give me your comic book
Go to sleep and don't make your mama come
She the only one with the kryptonite
So I don't wanna hear another peep, alright?
The spider man is always hungry
The spider man is always hungry
"Come into my parlor", said the spider to the fly
"For I have a little something here"
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here he is
Yeah, life bring it on, give it to me
I love it, I can't get enough
I can never get enough
I can't get enough sleep
What is this?
Headphones
What is it for doing?
So you put them on your ears
And you can hear music
From there?
Yeah, from the microphone
What's that in the microphone?
A diaphragm
I, I speak in the microphone
I know you love me
You know I love you too
You know I always will
No matter what you do
You say you haven't got another lover
You say you only want to make the scene
Then you try to keep it under cover
What does that mean?
And baby, I can't stand still (while he's holding you)
I can't stand (while he's kissing you)
So we got a little problem, baby:
How to put together love and work
If I could figure out that one, darlin'
I could save us from a world of hurt
I remember when we walked together
Makin' love on a summer night
Guess we thought that it would last forever
We were all right
But baby, I can't stand still (while he's holding you)
I can't stand still (while he's touching you)
I can take it if you need some freedom
Understand it if you miss your friends
Don't you ever try to think of me some
You never tell me where you've been
You say you haven't got another lover
You say you only want to make the scene
Then you try to keep it under cover
What does that mean?
And baby, I can't stand still (while he's holding you)
I can't stand still (while he's kissing you)
And baby, I can't stand still (while he's holding you)
I can't stand still (while he's touching you)
Everything i ever learnt, that gets me through the worst
i learnt, from my mama's nagging
anytime i'm turned around, i turn to mama first
and you'd be wise to memorize what mama says to me

now who can argue with that!
mama says...dont hold your breath for longer than an hour

chorus
and mama says it doesnt matter...if you're a king or you're a clown
once you drive up a mountian you can't back down!

but these boys over here have now

and mama says it doesnt matter...if you're a king or you're a clown
once you drive up a mountain you can't back down!
whoa once you srive up a mountain you can't back down!
now mama makes a lot of sence if you know how to listen
she is clear, and concise (she's concise!)
daddy says well i love her son but she's got marbles missing
but i say hey! its free advice! and what do you expect at that price?
mama says...what you believe in is all you really own
and i believe that she's right
mama says...if you've got doubts well then boy you're not alone
just means your ready to fight!
and mama says it doesnt matter if you're a king or you're a clown
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down!
you can turn up the heat!
you can turn up the road!
you can carry a beat!
you can carry a load!!
you can throw a fit!
you can throw a punch!
you can bring up a child!
you can bring up your lunch...
(aww man! did your mama say that?)
1, 2, 3!
and mama says it doesnt matter
if you drive a hard bargain or drive around town!
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down!
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down!
(music ends)
(music starts up again)
i thought of one more thing
now mama says...
dont buy your chandelier unless you've got a ceiling
now i dont know what thats about...
mama says...dont chew on tinfoil unless you like that feeling...
somehow she figured that out!
and mama says it doesnt matter if you're a king or you're a clown
once you drive up a mountain
remember boy everyone's counting on you!
once you drive up a mountain you cant back down...!
(Introduction)
When she set him free
He came to me
He came straight to me
Now she's gonna find
The boy is mine
He is finally mine
I've got a feeling she won't let go, oh no
'Cuz every time I think that we're alone
(Chorus)
SOMEBODY'S EYES are watching
SOMEBODY'S EYES are seeing me loving him
Somebody's waiting to take him back again
Love is no disguise (oh, oh) from SOMEBODY'S EYES
Love is no disguise (oh, oh) from SOMEBODY'S EYES
Does she know how much
We like to touch
Does she know how much?
Does she know just how
I love his kiss
Does she know this?
I've got a feeling that she must know (oh no)
'Cuz everywhere my baby and me go
(Chorus)
SOMEBODY'S EYES are watching
SOMEBODY'S EYES are seeing me loving him
Somebody's waiting to take him back again
Love is no disguise (oh, oh) from SOMEBODY'S EYES
Love is no disguise (oh oh) from SOMEBODY'S EYES
Got a feeling that she must know, oh no
Cause everywhere my baby and me go
SOMEBODY'S EYES are watching
SOMEBODY'S EYES are seeing me loving him
Somebody's waiting to take him back again
Love is no disguise (oh, oh) from SOMEBODY'S EYES
SOMEBODY'S EYES are watching
SOMEBODY'S EYES are seeing me loving him
Somebody's waiting to take him back again
Love is no disguise (oh, oh) from SOMEBODY'S EYES
SOMEBODY'S EYES are watching
SOMEBODY'S EYES are seeing me loving him
[Boy]
hey cranston, what're you doing with the preacher's daughter?
[Chuck]
Anything that I want
[Boy]
oh yeah? what does she get out of it?
[Chuck]
Everything that she needs
[Arial]
Like you'd know
[Chuck]
Well she'd like you to think
she was born yesterday
with her innocent looks
and her little town ways
when she's smilin' at me
she's got angels in her eyes
But I've seen how she moves
and this girl really cooks
she's taught me some tricks
you can't learn in a book
and I'm starting to think
she's a devil in disguise
[All]
The girl gets around
she knows what she likes (huh)
I got what she needs
wait til tonight (just wait)
We'll both make our moves
yeah, we'll cover some ground
the girl gets around,
around, around, around, around, around,
good god this girl gets around
[Arial]
Yeah he likes to pretend
he's a man among men
but with his hand in his pockets
he can't count ot ten
don't worry baby,
you're secret's safe with me
[Boys]
(BUSTED!)
[Arial]
and he bores me to tears
with his beer and his bikes
but I keep him around
cause when temptation strikes
I've got the motor
he's got the key
[All]
the girl gets around
she knows what she likes (huh knows what she likes)
I've got what she needs (yeah yeah yeah)
just wait til tonight (wait till tonight)
we'll both make our moves
yeah we'll cover some ground
the girl get's around,around,
around, around, around, around,
the girl get's around, around,
around, around, around, around
Looking into your eyes I know I'm right
If there's anything worth my love it's worth a fight
We only get one chance
But nothing ties our hands
You're what I want
Listen to me
Nothing I want
Is out of my reach
Chorus
(I'M FREE)
HEAVEN HELPS THE MAN who fights his fear
Love's the only thing that keeps me here
You're the reason that I'm hanging on
My heart's staying where my heart belongs
(I'M FREE)
Running away will never make you free
And nothing we sign is any kind of guarantee
But I wanna hold you now
And I won't hold you down
I'm shaking the past
Making my breaks
Taking control
If that's what it takes
Chorus
Heaven helps the man who fights his fear,
We can face it down right now right here.
Maybe we can finally right this wrong,
I feel your heart
It's beating time with mine
But love love love is on the line
He hold you down
But I know you want to run
You're hot hot loaded like a gun
Oh you feel so trapped and confused
Start with nothing and you've got nothing to love
(Chorus)
You can NEVER never never ever hide your heart
Don't you ever ever ever ever try it
If you don't give your heart wings you'll
NEVER never never ever fly
Break down the walls
You've got to cut the ties
There's pain pain burning in your eyes
It's time to fight
It's time for tearing free
Oh come come running straight to me
Oh you know he don't love you like i do
Don't make believe that you don't feel it too
can you find it iin your heart, to forgive her?
can you stop and see there's part of her that's trying to obey?
while part of her is dying to run away?
can you hear what she's trying to say?
can you find it in your soul, to accept her?
if she stumbles on your holy path do you have to repremand?
or are there ways to make her understand?
with out using tha back of your hand?
can't you remmeber, when we were that age?
pumped up with promise and wrestling with rage?
can't you remmeber, when we were a family back when?
could we be one, again?
does it ever cross you mind that i miss you?
is there any chance we'll find the joy that we shared at the start?
can you remmeber what you felt?
before that feeling fell apart?
can you find it in your hear?
have you lost my love?
somewhere far behind?
Where have all the good men gone and where are all the Gods?
Where's the street wise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach there's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
Oh yes, he has all the answers
He's gonna set me straight
How can he presume to know what I've been through?
He hasn't got a clue
But how could anyone unless they've had a son
As perfect as a child can be,
The best of all the best in me
My brush with immortality, my kid.
For sixteen winters and fifteen springs
I had a son, and still it stings
When i remember all the things we did,
Me and my kid.
Simple things like fishing at the lake,
Tiptoeing out before dawn,
Bobbie would worry if we didn't hurry,
All the fish would be gone.
We would sit and huddle in the boat
Waiting for something to bite
And I'd watch the sun rise in my own son's eyes
And the world would fill up with light.
And Bobbie would ask a million questions:
Daddy how many is the biggest number?
Or Daddy, Why do I have a thumb?
(chorus)And I confess, I didn't always have the answers,
I didn't always know which way was true,
Nevertheless, I always tried to lead with love
That's all that any father can do.
As the years went by we had our differences,
But then who doesn't
Even if the friendship wasn't all it was before,
We shared a lot and who'd've thought
That so much joy could vanish in a blink,
Whoever stops to think.
And in that final moment who knows what went wrong
The questions come to late, and linger far too long
And I confess I don't always have the answers
I don't always know which way is true,
Nevertheless I always try to lead with love,
That's all that any father can do.
And then look, look what do I do!
This boy comes to me,this fatherless child
I scoff at his pain and I send him away.
My daughter speaks up and I shout her down
I won't hear a word of what she has to say
My wife reaches out and I turn my back
I send her to bed without even a kiss
Can my God forgive the things I have done
While I'm not forgetting how much I'm still missing my son.
I'm tired of feeling nothing, but numb
Maybe the time has come
To finally let the world in
But how do i begin?
(choir) Ohh ohh oo ooo
Give me strength, and maybe then
I can reach my fellow men
So we all may rise again
I confess I don't always have the answers
I don't always know which way is true
Nevertheless, I always try to lead with love
Please join me in asking our Lord to guide and protect
Our children
