Beloved is a 1998 film based on Toni Morrison's 1987 novel of the same name. Starring Oprah Winfrey and Danny Glover, the film was directed by Jonathan Demme and produced by Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions. Beloved received numerous award nominations following its release and won in the "Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture" category at the 1999 NAACP Image Awards for Glover's performance.
The story, set shortly after the Civil War, revolves around Sethe, a former slave living on the outskirts of Cincinnati. When the film begins, an angry poltergeist terrorizes Sethe and her three children. After Sethe temporarily soothes the angry spirit, her two sons run away forever. Ten years later, Sethe (Oprah Winfrey), lives alone with her daughter Denver (Kimberly Elise). Paul D (Danny Glover), an old friend from Sweet Home, the plantation Sethe had escaped from years earlier, finds Sethe's home. She invites him into the house where he drives off the angry spirit. Afterwards, Paul D. then proposes that he should stay and Sethe responds favorably. Shortly after Paul D. moves in, a clean young woman (Thandie Newton) stumbles into Sethe's yard. Sethe and Denver take an immediate liking to the stranger, who spells her name out as – Beloved.

The past has a life of its own.
Paul D: What were you looking for when you come here, Beloved?::Beloved: This place. I look for this place I could be in.
Paul D: That girl... Beloved. She really gone, like they say?::Denver: Haven't seen her since that way. Mama say she gone. She can feel it.::Paul D: You think she was sure enough your sister?::Denver: Sometimes. Other times... I think she was more.
Baby Suggs: And the beat, beat, of your heart... Love it. More than the lungs that need yet to breathe free air. More than the womb, which holds life. More than the private parts that give life. Love your heart. This... this is the prize. Amen. This the prize... Amen!
Sethe: I got a tree on my back and a haint in my house, and nothing inbetween but the daughter I'm holding in my arms.
Denver: We have a ghost here, you know?
Baby Suggs: No matter what happen, God has led you home. So lay em' down Sethe, sword and shield. For God has led you home.
Sethe: Grandma Baby used to say your daddy was too good for this world. Remember? He was a good man. It scared her. She always used to fret he wasn't gonna make it through nothin'. He made it through a lot. But maybe Grandma Baby was right. Denver, your daddy ain't gonna never show up here. You understand?::Denver: But...::Sethe: [Shakes head] The day ain't gonna never come when Halle knocks on that door. Never.
Baby Suggs: Over yonder, they do not love your flesh. Oh, my people... they do not love your hands. Those, they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty! Love your hands! Raise them up, and kiss them.
Paul D: You got two feet, Sethe, not four.
Denver: You won't ever leave us will ya?::Beloved: No never, this is where I AM.
They say that they don't know me
Never saw my face
And if they've never been there
Can they be sure there's such a place
They think if they don't answer
The world will pass them by
But there's a fire in their kitchen
And the water's three feet high and risin'
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
Someone's shouting at me
You're all going to hell
Must not be too far away
Sometimes I can never tell
My shoes are still as empty
A mile they never walked
Send in their donation
And they never have to talk again
My beloved
The only one I see standing up for me
My beloved
Close my eyes heal my pride
I just want to show them who I am
I just want to show them what I can do
There's not much use to curse the damned
And there's power in nothing to lose
Someone's spitin' blood
Face down in the dirt
Someone's thinking about a gun
To try and stop the hurt
Someone drew conclusions
On the wall of destiny
Someone's getting louder
And that someone would be me
You think if you don't answer
The world will pass you by
But there's a fire in your kitchen

It's colder than before
The seasons took all they had come for
Now winter dances here
It seems so fitting, don't you think?
To dress the ground in white and grey
It's so quiet I can hear
My thoughts touching every second
That I spent waiting for you
Circumstances afford me
No second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you
My beloved, do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember
We were once young and blessed with wings
No heights could keep us from their reach
No sacred place we did not soar
Still greater things burned within us
I don't regret the choices that I've made
I know you feel the same
My beloved, do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed was ours
Moments lost, though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
My beloved, do you know
When the warm wind comes again
Another year will start to pass
And please don't ask me why I'm here
Something deeper brought me
Than a need to remember
My beloved, do you know
How many times I stared at clouds
Thinking that I saw you there
These are feelings that do not pass so easily
I can't forget what we claimed as ours
Moments lost, though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Moments lost, though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Moments lost, though time remains
I am so proud of what we were
No pain remains, no feeling
Eternity awaits
Grant me wings that I might fly
My restless soul is longing
No pain remains, no feeling
There is always someone
Who knows a better way
Draw your own conclusions
But i for one would rather say
I'm not happy here
There's still a long way to go
And the way i see things
I'm always the last to know
After all that i've been through
Why should i, should i find time for you?
I hear these rumours
Promising me better days
But i see darkness
And i for one would rather say
I can't help believing
There's still a long way to go
I keep my eyes wide open
But i'm always the last to know
After all that i've been through
Why should i, should i find time for you?
I could talk for hours
I was born that way
But in this land of ours
I for one would rather say
I'm not happy here
There's still a long way to go
And the way i see things
I'm always the last to know
After all that i've been through
Why should i, should i find time for you?
After all that i've been through

If you ever needed more than just a friend
I'm the one you needed; Let me recommend
That I will help you struggle by, no
Chorus : Don't you worry; I know it's gonna turn out fine.
Don't you worry; I'll love you 'till the end of time.
If you feel uneasy or if you need some time
Well, here's some words of comfort for your troubled mind :
Oh, we are strong collectively, so
Chorus' : Don't you worry; The stars come out, the sun will shine.
Don't you worry; I'll love you 'till the end of time.
(Chorus)
Your heart will ever come to you.
In your darkest hour, I'll be there for you... so
Chorus'' : Don't you worry; I'll love you when the skies are grey
No, don't you worry; I will kiss your silent tears away
(Chorus)
(Chorus')
(Chorus)
deliver me, out of my sadness
deliver me, from all of the madness
deliver me, courage to guide me
deliver me, strength from inside me
all of my life i was in hiding
wishing there was someone just like you
now that you're here
now that i've found you
i know that you're the one to pull me through
deliver me, loving and caring
deliver me, giving and sharing
all of my life i was in hiding
wishing there was someone just like you
now that you're here
now that i've found you
i know that you're the one to pull me through
deliver me
deliver me
oh, deliver me
all of my life i was in hiding
wishing there was someone just like you
now that you're here
now that i've found you
i know that you're the one to pull me through
all of my life i was in hiding
wishing there was someone just like you
now that you're here
now that i've found you
i know that you're the one to pull me through
deliver me
A simple defect from decay
Unraveled words are left to fray
And to avoid
If you swallow all your pride
You would choke on every word
That you hide behind
So face yourself
And bury those useless words
That mean nothing to me
Your bitterness will bury you
Faster than your words ever could
Youve taken arms against yourself
This is the end
A line drawn in the sand,
and we both know
I'm not about to bury myself.
Sinking in my footsteps,
but not coming up for air.
A firm foundation of beating hearts
is blistering enough on the sruface.
Closing in and holding out my breath
hoping to mend the wounds
opened by years of digging out.
We fight fire with fire
and you'll run back to your
circle of friends.
They won't help you now.
We drew a line in the sand
and this time it's now or never.
Go ahead, burn your bridges
but only if you can swim
deep in the sea of disbelief.
This time your screams won't be heard.
You will fight this battle
but we'll take you out so quickly
that you and your so-called army
couldn't see us coming.
Fight this battle.
We'll tear you down to the ground.
We can't stop now.
We were born for battle,
without vision we will die.
We were born for battle,
against the tide of compromise.
There is life in this.
The places so close can take you so far.
where is the hope today
and where is the passion?
it seemed just like yesterday
love was in fashion
a rumour that was spread around
all the answers had been found
and then it felt like moving on
and suddenly was gone
you want a reason, i'll give you reason
don't change your ideals with every season
just look inside yourself for explanation
and make your own life a celebration
do you dream of better days
gazing through a purple haze
bathed in ultra-violet rays
or do you want your conscience raised?
you want a reason, i'll give you reason
don't change your ideals with every season
just look inside yourself for explanation
and make your own life a celebration
you've got the power, power to be strong
an education that should be lifelong
so don't be a victim of expectation
just make your own life a celebration
I made you promises, but i want them back
I gave you everything, but you stabbed me in the back
I finally figured out, that i can live without the pain i feel inside
I've opened up my eyes, begun to realize i trusted way to many lies
It's time to pick up the pieces now, am i falling down?
Am i drowning out?
Am i the only one who sees things this way?
Well, i guess it goes to show
Put me on my swing
I can see the whole world from here and i feel so alive
After all was said and done, more was said than done
(missing out on me)
Put me on my swing
I can see the whole world from here and i feel so alive
Your missing out on me, baby out on me
Put me on my swing
I can see the whole world from here and i feel so alive
And i'm waiting, for you there
For you to care
I can see it in your eyes
And i'm running, but not giving up
Just giving in for now
Cause i can't pretend it's all ok
I made you promises
I want them back
I gave you everything
You stabbed me in the back
I finally figured out
That I can't live without
The pain I feel inside
It opened up my eyes
I began to realize
I trusted way too many lies
Its time to pick up the pieces now
Am i fallin down? am i drownin out?
Am I the only one that sees things this way?
Well I guess it goes to show
Put me on my swing
Cause I can see the whole world from here
And I feel so alive
Put me on my swing
Cause I can see the whole world from here
And I feel so alive
Put me on my swing
Cause I can see the whole world from here
And I feel so alive
Put me on my swing
Cause I can see the whole world from here
And I feel so alive
Hold close now
Its your only assurance
Of controlling the outcome of this ending
Is it ending or just leaving us
Tired and waiting?
Youre chasing the reasons
Revolving in circles of questions
Weve all tried to answer for ourselves
The answers already inside us
Just Listen
And maybe you'll find an answer
You don't want to hear
Its only your diversions that keep it away
Just open up your eyes to see
Finally you'll understand to fill this void
Remembering the moments
Its so unclear
Re-living it just to disappear
Its always the wrong way
And never the same
Its dragging and staggered
Into a dull replay
Remember the moments
Its so unclear
Re-living it just to disappear
Lying down in sleepless eyes
Wide awake
So caught inside this aimless endeavor
Its sure to leave it's mark
Blacked-out and beaten into our skin
Deeper now that it's sunk in
Feeding on all of this damage it's done
The deeper you look
The harder it is to find
Its so safe and so secure
Its so deep now
Blacked-out and beaten into our skin
All i'm asking is the strength
To see me through these days
The face of youth keeps turning west
They don't seem to care
But i'm walking in the sun
Pulling flowers
From their hair
All these flowers
From their hair
When you hold me in your arms
I could do no harm
When you talk to me
You set me free
When i see your eyes
In grey skies
I would do anything to be
But all i'm asking is the strength
To see me through these days
Just to help me realise
Why the world's been pushed aside
And why i've just swallowed a fly
I wonder why that poor fly died
But when you hold me in your arms
I could do no harm
When you talk to me
You set me free
When i see your eyes
In blue skies
You had it your way
Now don't you think it's my turn?
You had it your way
Some people never learn
You say, you say
That nothing will change
You say, you say
Don't you realise it will always end this way?
You talk of good times
But you don't understand what it even means
Talk of good times
Talk, talk, so you've always been
You say, you say
You'd do anything for me
You say, you say
Don't you realise it will always end this way?
Tell me, tell me it isn't so
I will shut my eyes
I don't want to know
It worked before but i know this time
A hundred words won't change your
Change your mind
Well, you had it your way
Now don't you think it's my turn?
You had it your way
Stupid people they never learn
You say, you say
That nothing will change
You say, you say
Don't you realise it must always end this way?
Tell me, tell me it isn't so
I will shut my eyes
I don't want to know
It worked before but i know this time
A hundred words won't change your mind
Tell me, tell me it isn't so
I will shut my eyes
I don't want to know
It worked before but i know this time
A hundred words won't change your
Won't change your mind
Don't ever say it's not so
For in my heart i know
Don't ever say it's not so
seven years or seven lives
put a price on anything
a word of wisdom to the wise
you've given up on everything
the more you learn to recognise
the danger signs are gathering
will you fly with me as i sleep in you
in paradise the loneliness is deceiving
are we evergreen or forever blue?
in paradise the only hope is believing
is it trust or is it love
risen to a higher plane
we're following a different path
it never feels the same again
imagine you could live your life
but everything remains the same
will you fly with me as i sleep in you
in paradise the loneliness is deceiving
are we evergreen or forever blue?
in paradise the only hope is believing
if you come to me, i'll succumb to you
in paradise the loneliness is deceiving
omnipresent me, iridescent you
in paradise the only hope is believing
in a circle of life in a cycle of love
in a circle of life in a cycle of love
in a circle of life in a cycle of love
in a circle of life in a cycle of love
in a circle of life in a cycle of love
in a circle of life in a cycle of love
will you fly with me as i sleep in you
in paradise the loneliness is deceiving
are we evergreen or forever blue?
in paradise the only hope is believing
if you come to me, i'll succumb to you
in paradise the loneliness is deceiving
omnipresent me, iridescent you
in paradise the only hope is believing
will you fly with me as i sleep in you
in paradise the loneliness is deceiving
are we evergreen or forever blue?
today i woke up smiling
in a misty morning mood
watched your face as you were sleeping
i felt sure that you understood
well you know, you know how i love you so
more than ever now with each single day
and you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
got that deeper kind of feeling
that a younger me kept pushing aside
let me be for you all that i'm longing to
right by your side
well you know, you know how i love you so
more than ever now with each single day
and you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
yes you know a lifetime to be with you
seems so little now yet so far away
but you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
all of my longing and all my belonging
all i can give you, all my life with you
well you know, you know how i love you so
more than ever now with each single day
and you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
yes you know a lifetime to be with you
seems so little now yet so far away
but you know that i'll still be loving you
now i know it isn't easy
the things i've put you through
i have no right to do
you try so very hard to please me
but i'm remote from you
so rarely close to you
you've got me thinking for the first time
about the things i've said and done
now i see things much more clearly
feels like the change must surely come
it's not as if i couldn't realise
i was hurting you
soul-searching you
sensing your bravery
feeling unsavoury most of the time
well have i been so blind?
you've got me thinking for the first time
about the things i've said and done
and now i see things much more clearly
feels like the change must surely come
well you've no reason for believing
but i'm tired of all this self-deceiving
you've got me thinking for the first time
about the things i've said and done
and now i see things much more clearly
feels like the change must surely come
Closer away from the boundaries
I’m building to break from
Boundless and unrestrained
Building to break them all
We are built to see one way
But watching the lines blur
Our eyes have been gorged out
And fused to see another
I won’t let this tear me out of the ground
I will defy the culture that rips me out
And tears me down
I will defy your culture and make this real
We will not die just to fade
Into the air like memories
We will not die
If we live in hearts we leave behind
Then we will never die
And you can’t replace them
With the ones you’ve lost
------------
David, ah, you shouldn't do that.
And maybe, well as a matter of fact.
Gotta have responsibilities,
And try your very best to please the wolves at your back.
Chorus : Don't go telling me that everything must have a reason,
Because you're wrong, 'cause you're wrong,
'cause you're wrong, wrong, wrong.
There's a whole world out there if you'll just stop dreaming.
Wake up soon.
And now Jimmy, oh, come on, listen to me good,
Because life don't come so easy -- who told you that it would?
Oh, so many people tell you what to do,
And you believe them, that's the trouble with you; Just think for yourself!
(Chorus)
Chorus' : No, don't go telling me that everything must have a reason.
Because you're wrong, 'cause you're wrong,
'cause you're wrong, wrong, wrong.
Take your head out of the clouds, find something to believe in.
Better wake up soon.
Well, pretty soon, pretty soon you've gotta learn your right from wrong.
Oh, every day, every night, well, come on, learn to be strong.
Because you're wrong, 'cause you're wrong, 'cause you're wrong, wrong, wong.
You better wake up soon you better just stop dreaming.
(Chorus)
(Chorus')
Gotta wake up soon, boy.
Wake up soon.
Gotta wake up soon, boy.
Yeah, wake up soon.
Better wake up soon, boy.
Wake up, wake up.

Another cold evening another september
I'm tired because things could be better
Too many people bear their burdens
Carrying crosses hammering nails
Wasting lifetime waiting to see you
But nothing disturbs you
Disturbs you
Saints preserve us, then desert us
Saints preserve us, then they desert us
But if these tears you she'd were what they seemed
What did you expect to see?
This landscape's cold and less than forgiving
There's no hope of forgetting
Staring, you smile
Thinking of you all of the while
Saints preserve us, then desert us
Saints preserve us, then desert us
So when i get away i'll send my regards
Thinking i should tell you
That i would much rather say that i don't miss you
I can't and won't forgive you
All i'm doing, all that i'm doing
Is trying to forget you
To forget you
Oh but i won't forget you
Saints preserve us, then desert us
Saints preserve us, then desert us
All these saints they preserve us
Only to desert us
it's time that we started believing
we've all got a place in the world
so why can't we harness the feeling
that lies deep inside of us all?
well here comes the end of the century
and what are we thinking of?
it's time to stop fighting your enemy
and offer some friendship and hope, peace, and love
rock to the rhythm of love
take a ride on the rhythm of love
rock to the rhythm of love
take a ride on the rhythm of love
it's time that we started believing
to show that we're willing to try
it's never too late to be changing
so don't let this chance pass us by
well aren't we all part of a family
and hasn't our family suffered enough?
let's put an end to the fighting
and make the world rock to the rhythm of love
rock to the rhythm of love
take a ride on the rhythm of love
rock to the rhythm of love
take a ride on the rhythm of love
no violence, no hate, no pain, no enemies
just peace, unity, tolerence and love
no violence, no hate, no pain, no enemies
just peace, unity, tolerence and love
c'mon, take a ride
rock to the rhythm of love
yeah, ride on the rhythm of love
let's rock to the rhythm of love
oh, take a ride
Our defenses open
Our motives are shot
This hush of the heart seems too much to keep
Its gathered here and wakening me
Its stealing with fear that's reaching in
And pulling out with every beat
Resounding loud and clear, but only to me
In this confiding pulse
Ill find a way to keep it all confined
Its reminding me and always surrounding me
Past pictures will keep me
From being the man I could be
Burn out and I'll burn now
Ill carry this burden of memory
A name that lingers on a blank face
Can never fill a heart that's sinking fast
And hurting to feel
Its falling so fast now
To never rise again
We all burn out
We all rise and fall
Our defenses open
Our motives are shot
This hush of the heart seems too much to keep
It’s gathered here and wakening me
It’s stealing with fear that’s reaching in
And pulling out with every beat
Resounding loud and clear, but only to me
In this confiding pulse
I’ll find a way to keep it all confined
It’s reminding me and always surrounding me
Past pictures will keep me
From being the man I could be
Burn out and I’ll burn now
I’ll carry this burden of memory
A name that lingers on a blank face
Can never fill a heart that’s sinking fast
And hurting to feel
It’s falling so fast now
To never rise again
We all burn out
We all rise and fall
the autumn of this winter
i've forgotten how to breathe
made my mind up three times or more
simple life of make-believe
my head was in the clouds
feet nailed to the floor
my right hand held the hammer
left knows what my right hand's for
but i'm still waiting
it seems to me
i spend my whole life anticipating
but when i laugh, when i smile
i could leap tall buildings, run a mile
i laugh and then i smile
i have a house and children
i have everything i need
voice concern but i don't complain
remember i've four mouths to feed
but i'm still waiting
and it seems to me that i've
spent my whole life anticipating
when i laugh and smile
i could leap tall buildings, run a mile
i laugh and then i smile
so when i laugh and smile
i could leap tall buildings, run a mile
i laugh and then i smile
i found myself this morning
but i didn't like the way that i was feeling
it's like i'm in a film
but i spend most of my time looking at the ceiling
and i can't get over yesterday
how the trouble started i was thinking
well i wouldn't have gone overboard
if someone would have told me i'd start sinking
you came into my life took my heart and then you went away
now i'm missing you already
i wish it was tomorrow yesterday
and i'm missing you
missing you
missing you
yeah, i'm missing you
some people find their trouble is in letting go
but you and i are different
it's hard to turn an argument into some kind of
international incident
but you've told me twenty times before you'd leave me
but i chose to play ignorant
so you took my life apart
now it feels my world has gone astray
and i'm missing you already
i wish it was tomorrow yesterday
and i'm missing you
missing you
missing you
girl, i'm missing you
you came into my life took my heart and then you went away
thought that you would make your point
and then you'd come right back to me today
but suddenly it's dawned on me
on my own is how i'm gonna stay
and i'm missing you already
i wish it was tomorrow yesterday
(and i don't know what to do)
is it right or wrong
try to find a place
we can all belong?
be as one
try to get on by
if we unify?
we should really try...
all this time
spinning round and round
made the same mistakes
that we've always found
surely now
we could move along
make a better world?
no it can't be wrong
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
time is running out
let there be no doubt
we should sort things out
if we care
like we say we do
not just empty words
for a week or two
make the world
your priority
try to live your life
ecologically
play a part
in a greater scheme
try to live the dream
on a wider scene
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
-------------------------
Baby, well let me tell you something about love.
Let me tell you that I've had enough.
I've had enough of your playing away,
And I've only got one thing to say...
Chorus : Only your love takes me higher.
It's the kind of love that leaves me burning with desire.
If you think of me, if you care,
Stop your fooling 'round because it's going nowhere.
Baby, well let me tell you the one thing that's true.
I've got to try to get through to you.
I've had enough of your playing away,
And now I've only got one thing to say...
(Chorus)
Chorus' : Ask me, I will recommend
Something that will surely put your troubles at an end.
All this heartache's more than I can bear.
It's still going nowhere, nowhere.
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere...
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere...
(Chorus)
(Chorus')
It's the kind of love that leaves me burning with desire.
Stop your fooling 'round because it's going nowhere.
Something that will surely put your troubles at an end.
Step inside for some more of
what you're missing or just unsure of
say goodbye to those dull days
inspiration will take you more ways
up, up and away, hello new day!
oh, you're gonna feel so crazy
you're gonna touch the sky
you never felt so hazy, you've never been this high
just look around you, well it ain't no lie
h a p p y
come back down from your grey cloud
feel born again, say it out loud
don't you know hope can be found
take your foot out your mouth, come back down
up, up and away, hello new day!
oh, you're gonna feel so crazy
you're gonna touch the sky
you never felt so hazy, you've never been this high
just look around you, well it ain't no lie
h a p p y
yeah, give the world a message that the word is yes
it's quite impressive, it's real fresh
a little understanding is the reason why
h a p p y
up, up and away, hello new day!
up, up and away, oh, hello new day!
you're gonna feel so crazy
you're gonna touch the sky
you never felt so hazy, you've never been this high
just look around you, well it ain't no lie
h a p p y
yeah, give the world a message that the word is yes
it's quite impressive, it's real fresh
a little understanding is the reason why
h a p p y
up, up and away...
up, up and away...
up, up and away...
up, up and away...
what we need in this world is a love'n'harmony
positive emotions they will, set your spirit free
(comment : the "positive emotions..." is played backwards)
And when I fall asleep,
your always there to rescue me (rescue me),
when Im close to sleeping,
may seem like a step in the right direction,
but somehow...
I stumble and fall,
everything I have is within my arms babe,
but Im a million miles away,
my world is filled with broken promises,
it all crumbles,
falls to the ground,
today is the day,
today is the day,
today is mine for the taking,
ill find my way, today is the day, (repeat, repeat like 9 times)
---------------
I'm much too headstrong for my own good.
I'm too involved to realize
That your uncertainty will be the death of me.
But I lose my will and if looks could kill,
I've been struck down dead by your beautiful eyes.
Chorus : Time after time you challenge me for a reason.
I know that I'm impossible and deceiving.
I see the signs, you're telling me that you're leaving.
Time after time...
Time after time...
These games of politics and romance, they're quite impossible to win.
I can't unfathom you;
One minute you love me or you say you do
And then I turn my back, I'm under attack,
I turn to hold you and you stick me for nothing.
(Chorus)
And if I change to be the way you say you want me,
I'll only be the way I've always wanted to.
You know as well as I do...
You know as well as I do...
(Chorus)
(Chorus without final 'Time after time...')
Oh, well I still love you.
Time after time...
Oh, I love you.
Time after time...
You know, you know, I still love you.
Time after time...
Oh, I love you.
Time after time after time after time after time.
Just to say that we believed
Now we are forgetting
Your dismay won't be appeased
By more of this blood-letting
At all
Just part of the rise and the fall
And we spend lots of time sitting round in circles
Concentrating
Down the line, homeward bound
You decide and i'll fill the date in
So how can you say that you don't miss me?
When all your dismay says oh could this be?
How can you say that you don't miss me?
When all your dismay says oh could this be war?
You could hammer on the door
To get back in
Until your fists are raw
Let this be one you will not win
So how can you say that you don't miss me?
When all your dismay says oh could this be?
How can you say that you don't miss me?
When all your dismay says oh could this be war?
How can you say that you don't miss me?
When all your dismay says oh could this be war?
Oh could this be war?
consider it done like a father, like son
like a ship that is lost at sea, drifting aimlessly
far away from me
when you're falling asleep and your breathing is deep
but your drifting right out of sight into darkest night
go towards the light
feel love (feel love) - real love (real love)
give love (give love) - three steps to heaven
love life (love life) - live life (live life)
give life (give life) - three steps to heaven
like a shot in the dark, i was wide of the mark
it's wide open and plain to see,
just the inner me, trying to break free
feel love (feel love) - real love (real love)
give love (give love) - three steps to heaven
love life (love life) - live life (live life)
give life (give life) - three steps to heaven
(feel love, real love, give love...)
(feel love, real love, give love...)
(feel love, real love, give love...)
(feel love, real love, give love...)
it was all coming back when the image turned black
and my vision began to swim, something from within
seemed to pull me in
feel love (feel love) - real love (real love)
give love (give love) - three steps to heaven
love life (love life) - live life (live life)
give life (give life) - three steps to heaven
feel love (feel love) - real love (real love)
give love (give love) - three steps to heaven
love life (love life) - live life (live life)
give life (give life) - three steps to heaven
--------------
Movement, outside, silence inside,
Restless lover, spread your wings as the day begins.
Chorus : It's just the sun rising.
It's just the sun rising.
It's shining.
It's just the sun rising.
It's just the sun rising.
Oh...
Learn to love your secret life, your still calm and gentle life.
Your resolution comes too fast, now the night is past.
(Chorus)
Ahhh...
Smiling, gliding, breathless, you're riding.
Love is just a state of mind that we leave behind.
(Chorus)
Chicka, chickaaahhh...
Let yourself go.
(Chorus)
It's shining.
(Chorus)
Life, life.
Life, life.
Life, life.
Life, life.
(Shining...)
Life, life.
(Shining...)
It's just the sun rising. (Rising.)
It's rising... (etc.)
It's slowly maintaining now
I tried to bring it back
But it's over somehow
The static is silent
So I hear you're stable now
Tired of progress
But only we can work it out
It's slowly maintaining now
Tried to bring it back
But it's over somehow
The reality is
You were never real at all
Spinning in circles
Just another programmed thought
So we'll break off a piece of nothing
And take on the world, baby
And I'm finally letting go
And I think that you should know
And I'm finally letting go
I think it's better for us both
You and me
We're gonna beat this
Down to the ground
The aftermath was better than I thought it would be
But I closed my eyes so I couldn't see what would become of it
The stars, they burn bright in this evening sky
And there's not a thing standing in my way tonight
And I promise you that we will make it out alive, out alive
We're just a little bit closer now
The sea, it holds me close
Pushing against the hands that held us back
That held us back
Pushing against the hands that held us back
Should we run away or face the days we have before us?
Right through the barricades onto the shores below us
Day and night, our steps and paths are chosen for us
Let's bury the past, within the sand beneath us
And i promise you that you will never fall again, never fall again
Artist:Beloved
Song :Sweet Harmony
Is it right or wrong
Try to find a place
We can all belong?
Be as one
Try to get on by
If we unify
We should really try...
All this time
Spinning round and round
Made the same mistakes
That we've always found
Surely now
We culd move along
Make a better world?
No it can't be wrong
Let's come together
Right now
Oh yeah
In sweet harmony
Time is running out
Let there be no doubt
We should sort things out
If we care
Like we say we do
Not just empty words
For a week or two
Make the world
Your priority
Try to live your life
Ecologically
Play a part
In a greater scheme
Try to live the dream
On a wider scene
Let's come together
Right now
Oh yeah
In sweet harmony

Words & music : J.Marsh/H.Marsh
Believe when i say that it has to be true
So much to say, so little to do
I know, i know, i know you
The room's growing cold as the evening grows long
See in your eyes something is wrong
I know, i know, i know you
So where do you go at the end of the day?
Where do you hide away?
Age has a way of pretending to see
Right to the core of what we want to be
But i know, i know, i know me
And i've lost all interest in matters of worth
Old again, wise again, born again, no constancy
Oh but i know me
So where do you go at the end of the day?
Where do you go when you seem so far away?
Tell me what happened to the promises that we made
Where do you hide away?
So tell me where do you go at the end of the day?
Where do you go when you seem so far away?
What happened to the promises that you made?
so welcome back again
on the right track again
you finally made it
pushed it to the limit
can't live within it
you can't do without it
where's the surprise?
don't settle for compromise
you know how you feel
there's still spirit in your eyes
you know that it s real
have you been having fun
being the only one
on the right wavelength?
chasing the time
walking the line
watching your life slipping by
don't settle for compromise
you know how you feel
there's still spirit in your eyes
you know that it's real
don't settle for compromise
you know how you feel
there's still spirit in your eyes
you know that it's real
you've only got one life
open your eyes
use it up gently
we're all back to nature
sooner or later
what's the hurry?
where's the fire?
don't settle for compromise
you know how you feel
there's still spirit in your eyes
you know that it's real
remember when the water froze and the sky was still
and you looked out of your window on the world
and then you went against your will
if you could see that far
see back from where you are
then you will always be
somewhere inside of me
you're not alone...
and then you held me in your arms
and you told me not to cry or be afraid
i felt protected by your calm
if you could see that far
see back from where you are
then you will always be
somewhere inside of me
you're not alone...
from the silence of my heart
there's a picture in my head
an image frozen of you travelling through time
from long ago to far ahead
if you could see that far
see back from where you are
then you will always be
somewhere inside of me
you're not alone...
if there's a sadness in your eyes
if there's a place that you would rather be alone
to recreate or recognize
if you could see that far
see back from where you are
then you will always be
somewhere inside of me
you're not alone...
oh, as a man you stand alone
all the contentment that you once felt as a child
has long escaped you now you've grown
but i believe in love
believe it's strong enough
to take on everything
that every life could bring
you're not alone...
you're not alone...
you're not alone...
When we all agree
Will you take it gracefully?
And years from now
Will you be forgotten?
I take each day as it comes
But still i assume it's all wrong
I remember me in my infancy
How strange to feel i was braver then
But still
So many harder things lie ahead of me
And i will
Not be swayed by your idiocy
Everything's changed
Everyone's gone
I'm all on my own
As i knew all along
And i remember now what i had meant to say
How strange to feel i was braver then
All i call my own
All i call myself
I have spent so long
Without the change i need
And if i think things through
It doesn't seem too clear
As if there's no importance
i like the freedom of the early morning
i like the tension of the innocent time
i'd like to hold you as the day is dawning
i'd like to get you somewhere you can be mine
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
i like the sharing of some deep emotion
i like the feelings that you're making me feel
i like the notion of your body motion
i'd like to thank you just for making it real
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
well i, i get a very strange sensation
at night, i like to swim against the tide
oh i, i can't hold this sense of expectation
that i, oh i get for one night, one night by your side
i'll take you diving in the deepest of oceans
i'll take you bathing in a river of love
i'll take you anywhere, anyway you want to
take you on a journey to the heavens above
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love
giving me love, your physical love

Scarlet beautiful, with your eyes of blue,
Got to tell you that I'm in love with you.
My angel, innocent saint;
Innocent maybe, but angel you ain't.
No, oh it just gets better each time.
Well, Scarlet Beautiful, my guiding light,
Invisible on a cloudless night,
One kiss and you're in for the kill.
Oh, just hold me, do what you will.
I know it just gets better each time.
Oh, it just gets better each time.
Chorus : Oh, it's just love, love, love, love, love...
It makes you smile, it makes you strong.
Just love, love, love, love, love...
It feels so good it can't be wrong.
It's just love, love, love, love, love...
Holding on...
Scarlet Beautiful, heaven can wait.
I can feel it, oh it feels great.
See the stars explode as they cross the sky.
It's beautiful, we kiss goodbye.
Oh, it just gets better each time.
Oh, it just gets better each time.
(Chorus, with slight variations.)
Twice as nice, oh twice as long,
Love, love, love, love, love...
Holding on...

Love, love, love, love, love...
Love, love, love, love, love...

Twice as nice, oh twice as long.

Sweet love.
Oh, it's beautiful! (repeat until fade)

to keep a smile upon your face
...are you receiving me?
...are you receiving me?
...are you receiving me?
...are you receiving me?
...are you receiving me?
...are you receiving me?
We drive to keep our conscience clear
Imagine closeure sinking deep into the air
Our loss is not gaining new ground at all
I fight this everyday
Aagainst this ever-changing face
I fight you everyday
Against your ever-changing face
With a fresh sense of purpose and direction
We cannot hide now from ourselves
In disguises all our own
Still we can't escape at all
We run from things that can be seen
But if we would close our eyes
We would see the real threat against us
I won't run from this world
Only our faces hide
The quiet defeat inside
Only our faces show
In the moment captured by sweet tasting blood
My cup overflows, send us your love (full of your love)
As my thirst grows, I find it hard
To trust all those, so send us your love (send us your love)
Your face is all I see
It brings me to my knees
And I lift my hands up to the sky
Restore us, o God, upon us, let your light shine
Although I know youre close, I feel so far away
This pictures not the same without you here (send us your love)
With my arms outstretched, this emptiness will embrace the light
So embrace this heart, (send us your love) never again will it be dark
Your face is all I see
It brings me to my knees
And I lift my hands up to the sky
Restore us, o God, upon us, let your light shine
(New wine) all I see
(New wine) takes a part of me
(New wine) and I lift my hands up to the sky
(New wine) restore us o God, upon us, let your light shine
Lord, (new wine), I see
The truth is (new wine) in front of me
I lift my hands up to the (new wine) sky
Restore us o God, upon us (new wine) let your light shine
So break this heart
Break me
So break this heart
Baby, baby, oh, i'm telling you
Now i'm on my knees
It's like a dream come true
So many things that i want to say
Put your arms 'round me
In your special way
Got a feeling deep inside
Couldn't hide this feeling even if i tried
And there's nothing i wouldn't do, believe me
To show how much i care
Oh-oh, i can't lose this love, loving, loving feeling
(oh, will you let me know?)
(you'll never let me go now)
I can't lose this love that's holding me
(doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo)
Oh, the flame of love is burning strong
And you know you can't resist it, it would take too long
You hold me close, and then you kiss me
How can you say that you don't miss me?
Oh-oh, i can't lose this love, loving, loving feeling
(oh, will you let me know?)
(you'll never let me go now)
I can't lose this love that's holding me
(doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo)
Just for you, oh, i would
I'd be your al capone, your robin hood
I could be sinbad on the seven seas
If you would sin that bad with me
Oh-oh, i can't lose this love, loving, loving feeling
(oh, will you let me know?)
(you'll never let me go now)
I can't lose this love that's holding me
you, with that look in your eyes
who do you think about
as you fantasize?
oh, how i need your caress
anything you want
the answer is yes
lose yourself in me
lose yourself in me
oh, how i long for your touch
how you tantalise me
so much
just one fevered kiss from your lips
sends me heaven bound
permanent bliss
lose yourself in me
lose yourself in me
lose yourself in me
lose yourself in me
yeah you, girl of my dreams
well you turn me inside out
apart at the seams
just give me yourself body and soul
be forever mine
yeah, forever mine
another song about dancing
nightclub chance romancing
feel the rhythm - let it flow
energise you - let it go
free your body, yeah!
free that spirit in there
let the bassline move you
with a groove that can soothe you
work it till you drop - never let it stop
just let the music take you
that one step higher
make you, shake you, wake you
with your desire
just let the music take you
that one step higher
make you, shake you, wake you
with your desire
all you disco divas
just shake your thang
in a dancefloor fever
yeah it's happening!
just let the music take you
that one step higher
make you, shake you, wake you
with your desire
Does the process change
Do you feel it still?
Must we rearrange
All that we've learned until
The problem is resolved?
As you've always known
Tonight for the last time
He's alone
There must be questions to ask
There's no time to wait
Take yourself to task
Cleanse old wounds, re-evaluate
Coming up for air
In a fight you made your own
Tonight for the very last time
He's alone
The voices die in the distance
The crying is faint
The same fate overtakes them
The sound rings in the midst
Better days will lie in wait
So i'll endure this till you take me away
Holding close to your hands never slipping through your grip
The road is getting longer and I don't know if i can make it
But I'll hold hoping to get stronger all the while
Calling out, let it pass
Let it drown with the water
Freedom from this place is found in you, it's found in you
I'll be home soon with the letter in my left hand
I'll be home soon cause i'm coming home to you
Chasing the wind
The light that you lead is only a shadow now
But it's bright enough for me to lead you out
So i'll take this until it fades
Until it falls
Until it breaks
And i'll kiss it goodbye
I'll kiss life goodbye
This world goodbye
I'll be home soon
Summer haze
Find you woken up and it's a brand new day
Time for back to basics in the old style way
Being bold, just growing old and dreaming away
In summertime
Stretching out and smiling in the warm sunshine
Moving on and upward in a grand design
Living large and lovin' you and feeling fine
Well, it's alright now
Don't you worry about a thing
'cause when the morning comes around
I'm gonna make your heart sing
Well, it's alright now
Don't you stop and wonder why
I'm gonna put my arms around you
We're gonna light up the sky
Yeah, it's alright now
Summer dream
Effortlessly gliding on a ride downstream
Well, is you is or is you ain't just part of the team
Feel free and you can feel clean
Well, it's alright now
Don't you worry about a thing
'cause when the morning comes around
I'm gonna make your heart sing
Well, it's alright now
Don't you stop and wonder why
I'm gonna put my arms around you
We're gonna light up the sky
I'm motionless, and love stands still apart from all the rest
And you're the only one who hears my voice
Apologies were spoken underneath the harvest trees
While our dreams fell down like autumn leaves
Its getting hard to pick myself up off the ground this time
And your willingness never seems to change my mind
And im falling into your arms again
I'm thinking that I should put my trust in him
Do you remember November twenty-second?
I could see your breath but your heart was vaguing
Maybe this is what i need, some uncertainty
But if I let it go, I could be risking everything
There's no day like today...
There's no day like today...
And your drifting far away...
And it's tearing me..and it's tearing me..
It's tearing me apart...
I'ts getting hard to pick myself up off the ground this time
And your willingness never seems to change my mind
And im running into your arms again
Take in from this
And breathe out open.
Hug that uncertainty
As long as you can.
A once seizing, but now
Flailing and falling
Grasp at comfort's hand.
A brash defense of confidence
Is seemingly overwhelming disappointment.
Carry it on disconnected
And drawn away from yourself.
You buy more time with your lies.
Running from mistakes that you've made.
And when your time has been spent,
You did not bother with your faith.
It's like you were never alive.
Your hope has died,
But rest in this.
We will fight for you.
And show you we care for everything
That matters to you.
Promises held
Must have been lost or forgotten
Or buried under the broken glass
Beneath your window of opportunity.
We will be the first to die
And we will be the first to win.
Your walls will fall down.
Awaken the inner pattern
A murmur of self
A heart between beats
Tearing out the pages left and right
Of the human letter
In a burning moment
Threaded with compassion
Bound and held tight
In form and fashion
Bleeding restoration
Into a heart that's grave
Breathing in life into our lungs
Into our throats like open graves
Our eyes aren't closed
Our eyes are asleep
You have dreamt long enough
With open eyes
There is no escape for those
Who betray their inner self
Are we absent in thoughts of escape?
While our minds sleep
In days we saved
Youve cut all ties
And broken all your bonds
To your inner self
Now you will lie
An unhappy life away
Let the fire in your eyes
Burn it clean inside
Let the blood revise the ink
In your veins
This world wont define our hope
Well sit through the ashes
Until we find what's true in our hearts
And write it there
For this is what strikes fear in the heart of man
These are the days that weve made
And the chances that well take
We can't carry this vessel to shore
As beautiful as the setting sun
When our eyes, when our eyes first met
A spark deep down inside
These feelings that I cannot hide
And when I get there, dont wake me
Just let me dream
To be the one you run to (thats my dream)
The one you talk to (thats my dream)
To be the one you hold to (thats my dream)
The one you love, thats my dream
Thank you, God, for this blessing
My actions have worked enough confessing
How I barely feel in my heart
So got, wrecked the dream and stars
And when I get there, dont wake me
Just let me dream
To be the one you run to (thats my dream)
The one you talk to (thats my dream)
To be the one you hold to (thats my dream)
The one you love, thats my dream
To be the one you run to (thats my dream)
The one you talk to (thats my dream)
To be the one you hold to (thats my dream)
The one you love, thats my dream
To be the one you run to (thats my dream)
The one you crawl to (thats my dream)
To be the one you cling to (thats my dream)
The one you love, thats my dream
To be the one you run to (thats my dream)
The one you crawl to (thats my dream)
To be the one you cling to (thats my dream)
The one you love, thats my dream
Dont wake me, cause Im dreaming
Dont wake me, cause Im dreaming
Dont wake me, cause Im dreaming
Dont wake me, cause Im dreaming
Im dreaming
Oh my darlings jean and rita
Life couldn't be much sweeter
Swinging all around you see
What this country's made of me
Until yesterday i'd thought
The best things in life are bought
Strange when you're led by the nose
Through restaurants in evening clothes
Through restaurants in evening clothes
But i'm tired of these contradictions
Council roads to revolution
Waves part, on they go
Walking fast, thinking slow
Days don't pass so calmly
Invaded by salvation's army
If this is all god's given
Well, he could keep the rest
I said he could keep the, keep the rest
But all these pennies
If they came from heaven
Would this mean that all's forgiven?
I've seen these men and all the women
In love with everyday living
Stack furniture against the door
Landmine the kitchen floor
Opening windows, pulling strings
The smell of napalm in the morning
But if engels came, saved us all
I doubt he would make housecalls
Somehow i doubt that he would make housecalls
But if all these pennies
If they came from heaven
Forgive me such idle repetition
But i'm not stirred by this competition
Too soft to be unmoved
But enough is enough
To have the power to do whatever i choose
Anything on offer is forbidden
I disgust myself, i'm too all-forgiving
What's enjoyment, what is perfection
When you lose sight of yourself
In your failing powers of recollection?
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
So why is it essential
To be calm and collected?
We all have crosses to bear
But do we all have to be resurrected?
Yes i'm sure and i try to believe
But still i want more than you would give to me
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
Together whatever however forever
Forgive me such idle repetition
But i'm not stirred by this competition
Too soft to be unmoved
But enough is enough
To have the power to do whatever i choose
Anything on offer is forbidden
I disgust myself, i'm too all-forgiving
What's enjoyment, what is perfection
When you lose sight of yourself
In your failing powers of recollection?
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
So why is it essential
To be calm and collected?
We all have crosses to bear
But do we all have to be resurrected?
Yes i'm sure and i try to believe
But still i want more than you would give to me
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
Tomorrow's just one day away
I said the same thing yesterday
Together whatever however forever
Together whatever however forever
---------------
There's something I just can't describe,
Something controlling me deep inside.
Whenever I start to feel this way I just can't think of the words to say
Every now and again when I'm feeling sad,
Oh, I think of you and it makes me glad all over, glad as can be
And that's when I remember just what you mean to me.
Chorus : I love you more than you could know,
It's just sometimes it doesn't show
I love you more than you could know,
It's just sometimes it doesn't sh
Oh, but don't play, don't play,
Don't you play with my heart this way,
And don't say, don't say that you feel any other way.
It's times when I can't get to sleep at night,
That's when I wish I could hold you tight.
But if you were here right now with me I'd tell you for sure what you mean to me
(Chorus)
I love you.
(Chorus)
I love you more than you could know, it's just sometimes it doesn't show.
I love you more than you could know, it's just sometimes it doesn't show.
I love you more than you could know, it's just sometimes it doesn't show.
I love you more than you could know, it's just sometimes it doesn't show.
I love you more than you could know, it's just sometimes it doesn't show.
I love you more than you could know, it's just sometimes it doesn't show.

i'm happy now, oh can't you see?
that wherever i turn, i turn towards me
but this morning i kissed the floor
and it tasted better than i'd have thought
oh who'd have thought?
she wants water, i want wine
everything will turn out fine
but i know, yes i know
some people don't ever let go
she wants water, i want wine
everything will turn out fine
but i know, yes i know
some people don't ever let go
as luck would have it and it surely would
whatever i promised her was misunderstood
and then i found splinters inside my tongue
but at least i'm having fun
i'd call it fun, perhaps i'm the only one?
now she wants water, i want wine
everything will turn out fine
but i know, yes i know
some people don't ever let go
she wants water, i want wine
everything will turn out fine
but i know, yes i know
some people never let go
she wants water, i want wine
everything will turn out fine
i know, yes i know
some people don't ever let go
she wants water, i want wine
everything will turn out fine
but i know, yes i know
some people never let go
oh yes i know
some people don't ever let go
oh yes i know
Only you can start this fire in my heart, set me a blaze tonite
Cold no longer
One day my fight will be over, but for now I'm looking straight ahead
And it's all for you
So i'll let you rise, i'll let you rise in these bones
Our eyes have grown dim finding no rest in ourselves
Renew us o' lord, light the fire within
Burn, renew this heart
Burn, and rise from these ashes
Burn the fire within
Burn rise up from these ashes
Burn, and cleanse these bones
Burn, renew my heart cause i'll praise you
Burn until the day that you will return
Nothing more than to see through your eyes
I want nothing else but to see through your eyes
Burn in my heart
(Incidentally, this is my favourite love song and is "our song" for
my fiancee and I.)
(??? Something inaudible is whispered. ???)
Well, tell me one thing; Is there madness in this reason?
And tell me something that I never knew before.
The consequences of my actions aren't confusing;
They're just wanting the direction that I've never had before.
I was happy, now I'm walking on the water.
I was laughing, now I'm floating in the air, 'cause I found you.
These gut reactions are the best thing you can go by.
Premonitions are the second, that's for sure.
(That's for sure, whoooah.)
I'm caught by your eyes; They just surprised me, overpowered me.
I stand here waiting in the calm before the storm.
I'm delerious -- as happy as you're crazy.
It's nothing serious or difficult to cure, 'cause I found you.
Yeah, I found you.
Your smile is like the ocean, your kiss the seven seas.
Your eyes like magic potions; They just enrapture me.
I promise my affection for all eternity.
In my life i've heard it said
More often than not
Nothing is certain
In my life it seems to me
Something's missing
In my dreams a place i go
Always
In my dreams forever laughing
Still yesterday, come on speak to me
No no no no
No no no no no no no
Our love will grow
No no no no
No no no no no no no
Our love will surely grow
You're wild, dream aloud
Believe in everything you said too hastily so
When i smile
And it means nothing
I see you
So come on, speak to me
No no no no
No no no no no no no
Our love will grow
No no no no
No no no no no no no
Our love will surely grow
Oh, baby
Anytime the world gets crazy
Then i think of you, darling
And nothing else seems to matter
I think of you, darling
And nothing else seems to matter
No no no no
No no no no no no no
Our love will grow
No no no no
No no no no no no no
I was there
In the corner of my eye
I swear, i was there
Sky high, bone dry
In a restless world
With a burning pain
I was there
But never again
I knew you would
The way you should
You said you could
But i don't walk straight
I'm on my face again
I saw you
From the look on your face
You saw me too
I saw you
World-weary, split in two
Standing cold
In the driving rain
I saw you
But never again
I knew you would
The way you should
You said you could
But i don't think straight
I'm on my face again
On my own
With my experience i should have known
On my own
Destination unknown
I've forgot the reasons why i can't explain
On my own
But never again
Never again
I knew you would
The way you should
You said you could
But i don't walk straight
Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
Moving faster through my veins
And bleeding out the sun
That's bleeding down our necks
And burning my eyes
If this is a crutch for the weak
Then I am the least of these
So cut off my arms and break my legs
So I don't feel this anymore
Choking on all of the feeling
That Im swallowing in
Tasting the failure on my lips
That Ive lead in
And this is my last chance for survival
A last ditch effort to cure my ache
Were so vain aren't we?
Were so proud and empty
Were left leaning on our only intrigue
The lies that Ive told wont bury us whole
They wont find us time
This is the end of the story that I can forget
This goes far beyond our loyalties
And we feign as a shield
That's teeming with guilt and resonance
But we held our heads so high
if you're feeling low, well i can ease the pressure
if you should let me know
that i can ease your troubled mind
if you don't ever go then i can give you pleasure
if you can tell me so, then we can leave it all behind
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up...
if you talk to me, then i will tell you something
like how it ought to be
if you will tell me that you're mine
if you believe in me, i will give you one thing
(one thing)
so feel the need in me, and i will ease your troubled mind
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up...
i'll lift you up... (pressure)
if you're feeling low, i can ease the pressure
if you should let me know
that i can ease your troubled mind
if you don't ever go, i can give you pleasure
if you could tell me so, or we could leave it all behind
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll lift you up
(i'll lift you up, girl i'll turn you 'round)
i'll ease the pressure, the pressure,
the pressure, the pressure
(i'll ease the pressure, i'll ease the pressure)
i'll lift you up...
just close your eyes, open your head
set the inside of you full speed ahead
believe in your inner sense and all that you feel
because nothing's impossible and everything's real
don't stop dreaming, dream on
you've got to keep on keeping on
always believing
don't stop dreaming, dream on
you've got to keep on keeping on
always believing
floating up high, you can reach for the sky
set your pulse racing, heaven-embracing
sunshiny days, eachways and anyways
all your tomorrows, bye, bye yesterday
unwilling or willing you from the beginning to...
feel it cloaking you, tripping you
guiding you, calling you in
don't stop dreaming, dream on
you've got to keep on keeping on
always believing
Beloved these are dangerous times
Because you are weightless like a leaf from the vine
And the wind has blown you all over town
Because there is nothing holding you to the ground
So now you would rather be
A slave again than free from the law
(chorus)
Beloved listen to me
Don't believe all that you see
And don't you ever let anyone tell you
That there's anything that you need
But me
Beloved these are perilous days
When your culture is so set in it's ways
That you will listen to salesmen and thieves
Preaching other than the truth youve received
Because they are telling lies
For they cannot circumcise your hearts
(chorus)
Beloved there is nothing more
No more blessings and no more rewards
Than the treasure of my body and blood
Saw you by the avenue
selling ends and means
full of incidents and schemes
when you lied and when you lagged
you were such a drag
but I loved you like a friend
Beloved
Make it feel like summer
make it feel like summertime
Beloved
I'm coming undone sonny
in the danger of the ride
I liked to lie out in the wind
calling love and sin
sympathetic pharmacies
I tried to make it right
coming straight from Hell
Give us love.
This is the world that we created
This is the thing that you hated
I need the raging voice
When in the dark we'll give you light
Grace is rage
...
But you don't understand
You left us for dead
You'll pay for the price
I understand, the need to compare
The cards, weve been dealt
And you say its not fair
Though I cant comprehend
Why youre so cynical,
If it must come to this
Let it be known, I resisted.
Ill fall to my knees
With a bleeding melody
With a seasoned heart disease,
Oh
Well, God only knows
Why our hearts feel so low
Sometimes so, as to test
Where our purity rests.
So its true you cant dance,
With the human pretense,
When they all seem so dense,
Its the world you cant stand
Id fall to my knees
When we all just see as one,
When we all just feel as one,
Yeah
AhId fall
When well all just feel the same
If wed all just feel the same
I understand, the need to pretend
And when you say, its not fair
Youre quite alone as you dare.
Over time
I've been building my castle of love
Just for two
Though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far
For you now to say
That I've got to throw
My castle away
Over dreams
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come
From too far away
For you to say
Come back some other day
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed
Over loved
Over me
Over hearts
I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find
I had found what I've
searched to discover
I've come much too far
For me now to find
The love that I sought
Can never be mine
And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed
Over loved
Over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed
Over loved
Over you
When no one wants to know you, wants to claim you
Or look deep in your eyes
When those you love give you up, hurt you so bad
You can't stand to fight
Well, I've known that darkest hour
That's where I found true love
Jesus lifted me from the dead of night
And He'll never give me up
I'm his beloved and He's mine
Nothing can separate, no space, no time
No death, no life, no person, no power
So strong is the love of my Heavenly Father
I'm His beloved
There are days when I look away, for a moment I stray
But He's always there waiting
There are times I look in His eyes with tears filling mine
And He reaches to hold me
Through the constant pounding on my door
From this age and its deceit
I will cry to God from my heart of hearts
He is all the strength I need
I'm his beloved and He's mine
Nothing can separate, no space, no time
No death, no life, no person, no power
So strong is the love of my Heavenly Father
Well, I can't make sense of it
But it's my security
Nothing can separate the love
The love He has for me
I'm his beloved, He's mine
Nothing can separate, no space, no time
No death, no life, no person, no power
So strong is the love of my Heavenly Father
I said, no death, no life, no person, no power
So strong is the love of my Heavenly Father
I'm His beloved
How many times will I look at you?
Allured by the scent of your death
And the savage priests, to a suffering soul
Exult in a strangled song
I am soothed from anger into sorrow
As they knot their wreaths against my limbs
Help me understand the stench in my mind
Why do they impair our vision?
Can anyone taste my blood?
I have clung, quivering, with bruised flesh
Christendom rise and dress yourself
What delicious tears you've made me shed
Beloved, how many times I look at you
With suspended breath, and unguarded heart?
Like a cradled child you hold me
(With hysterical affection, to console this loss)
Beloved
Their semblance of love curses your beauty
In the blindness of my distress
In your dense black eyes
yes I want you
and I need you
the angel just passed me by, oh!
I feel like I could change inside
I feel like I can change inside
breeze flicker through my mind
feel your body close on mine
inside you:
looking down below
see the love flow
then the love go
what is love's time
can we ever know?
electricity blossoms
sparks in my mind
then I glow for a while
and I'm gone!
I feel like I could love tonite
I feel like I can love tonite
wings flutter moon bright
close my eyes real tight
and find you:
looking down below
see the life grow
then the life blow
in a lifetime
can we really know?
my head in the clouds an my
feet on the ground
spinning out of the dream
Late light of the desert made the mountains a silhouette
It?s curved as woman's side as far off as I feel inside
Gravity, it?s heavier than my fear, it pulls me to a new conclusion
The light of you is the weight that keeps me here
I wake up with my soul on fire
I'm swimming in my heart's desire
Not drowning in somebody's wake
Not smiling for somebody's sake
Why don't you just stay here in the sun?
It beats me why you disappear, honey
Ain't I your beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
I see you blue eyed old and gray
Still up all night 'til break of day
You dance me across the kitchen floor
You still got one eye on the door
How you love me with them halfway eyes
And when I think there's nothing left
I think of love and all the time it buys
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
Late light of the desert made the mountains a silhouette
It?s curved as a woman's side as far off as I feel inside
The battle was hard fought but nobody won
I'll be your magnetic north, baby, you be my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
Come to me like in my dreams spinning everything and all the while my bones fight not to crash down. Now that I know you can be everything I need and anything I'd do to find your name because in my subconscious I feel so complete when we're rolling over hills in the Massai Land. Watching angels as I speak soaring over me because every day is a race into the night. I could try and find out why these old wings won't fly, until I close my eyes, count the lines and find I'm soaring high. Oh to look up and find you with wings on tight, your head faced down, you're spinning around, crashing down on me. Beloved, follow me to where we hide the rest of our long lives; dreaming in the sun to float away. The manna mysteriously will nourish every day and thanking God we fold down to pray. I'll find you and you'll know me from all your dreams and I'll be everything that I know you can be. Dreaming. Loving. And I'll (you'll) be everything. Please come whisper all you know about this thing called love and feel it as you speak draw you to me. Note the swell that passion brings and feel it in the air. Come step off from your ledge to soar with me.
Come to me like in my dreams
Spinning everything
And all the while my bones fight
Not to crash down
Now that I know you can be
Everything I need
And anything I'd do to
Find your name
Because in my subconscious
I feel so complete
When we're rolling over hills
In the Massai Land
Watching angels as I speak
Soaring over me
Because every day is a race into the night
I could try to find out
Why these old wings won't fly
Until I close my eyes
Count the lines
And find I'm soaring high
Oh to look up and find you with wings on tight
Your head faced down
You're spinning around
Crashing down on me
Beloved
Follow me to where we hid
The rest of our longs lives
Dreaming in the sun to float away
The manna mysteriously will nourish every day
And thanking God we fold down to pray
I'll find you
And you'll know me from all your dreams
And I'll be
Everything that I know you can be
Dreaming. Loving
And I'll (you'll) be everything
Please come whisper all you know
About this thing called love
And feel it as you speak
Draw you to me
Note the swell that passion brings
And feel it in the air
Come step of from your ledge to soar with me
Is it so wrong to want everything?
Sometimes so close I had it in my grasp.
But I choked, I took all you could give
I tried so hard to make you proud
Its just not my fault, Its just my time to let go
Things fall apart... Things fall apart
I guess its my time to let go
I fall apart... I fall apart
You make things so easy
Why cant I ever get things right?
Im a thorn stuck in your side
Im bringing you down
I try...
Everywhere I seem to find...
My feelings in your eyes
As tears of love roll down your face
Think back... Long and hard
Back to the time I wasnt thinking believe to be
Invinsible but here we go again
I swear its like me trying to rain on your parade
Its not my fault
Its just my time...To let go
Why cant I just... Let go
Why cant I ever get things right
Im a thorn stuck in your side
Im bringing you down
I try...
Everywhere I seem to find...
My feelings in your eyes
As tears of love roll down your face
Why cant I ever get things right
Im a thorn stuck in your side
Im bringing you down
I try...
Everywhere I seem to find...
My feelings in your eyes
As tears of love roll down your face
Come to me like in my dreams
Spinning everything
And all the while my bones fight
Not to crash down
Now that I know you can be
Everything I need
And anything I'd do to
Find your name
'cos in my subconscious
I feel so complete
When we're rolling over hills
In the Massai Land
Watching angels as I speak
Soaring over me
'cos every day is a race into the night (oooh)
I could try to find out
Why these old wings won't fly
Until I close my eyes
Count the lines
And find I'm soaring high
Oh to look up and find........ Beloved!
Follow me to where we'll hide
The rest of our longs lives
Dreaming in the sun to float away
The manna mysteriously will nourish every day
And thanking God we fold down to pray (oooh)
I could try to find out
Why these old wings won't fly
Until I close my eyes
Count the lines
And find I'm soaring high
Oh to look up and find........ Beloved
I'll find you
And you'll know me from all your dreams
I'll be
Everything that I know you can be
Dreaming. Loving
And I'll be... everything
Please come whisper all you know
About this thing called love
And feel it as you speak
Draw you to me
Note the swell that passion brings
And feel it in the air
Come step of from your ledge to soar with me (oooh)
I could try to find out
Why these old wings won't fly
Until I close my eyes
Count the lines
And find I'm soaring high
Oh to look up and find you with wings on tight
Your head faced down
You're spinning around
Crashing down on me
you'll go crashing (crashing)
down on me!
(oooh crashin).... Beloved!
I'll find you
And you'll know me from all your dreams
And I'll be
Everything that I know you can be
Dreaming. Loving
Beloved
I have been touching
Your beloved
On the velvet white cloud
I hold the shadow
Of your love tightly
A whole the day and night
Will lead my stairway
(I hold the shadow)
to reach the eternity
I have been touching
Your beloved
On the velvet white cloud
In the deep inside my mind
I reach the door to open
I saw the dark fading there
BELOVED

Warm bath water
Reflecting candle flame
Cool
.still
My body still chilled
I relax into the wetness
Surrounding me.
So many feelings
Longing to be expressed.
So many emotions
Longing to be exposed.
I lift myself slowly out
Of the tub and
Climb into bed.
Will I receive you tonight?
Just a glimpse?
Will your arms come and carry me
I know it’s over
My heart will never know another lover
We two shall never share another breath
My will has faded
This longing it’s an unrelenting torture
Oh mercy take me now to my beloved
You were the thrill that stilled my beating heart baby
You are the one I’ll dream the most
But if I cannot have the real thing
I’ll gladly settle for your ghost
And you can haunt these halls
All you want
And if I ever leave
I will take you with me
da da…
This thing that beats
Is the one thing that keeps us apart
Well they say to say goodbye
But I’d surely rather die
From my broken heart
You were the thrill
That stilled my beating heart baby
You are the one I’ll dream the most
But if I cannot have the real thing
I’ll gladly settle for you ghost
Tonight was just a masquerade
Tomorrow just another day
Let come whatever
Tonight or never
I'll through the mask away
Beloved with all my heart I love you
With every breath I pray some day
You will be mine
Summer or spring
Winter or fall
You are my life
My love my all
Beloved
The very stars above you
Are jealous of the way your eyes
Sparkle and shine
Day after day near or apart
I try to say be still my trembling heart
But try though I may I cannot hide
This passion inside
That won't be denied
This is be madness
Then it's all in madness
I never know I'll never rest
Till you are mine
Beloved believe me when I tell you
From now until the last bright star
Fades from the blue
Now and forever
Whatever I dooooo
Once upon a midnight sky, the darkness calls my name. From this day forth the calling will prevail eternal. Let this be the last time that you come for me, as we become one. I can't envision the temptation of turning back. There is so much more to give now than there once was, yet it seems as if time grows ever so slowly. The severance is to me as fire is to the damned. What i desire most has been buried awau with the time that has come and gone. The repitition has become all i feel. There is no comfort in desolation, but only in the sweet scent of life. No solace is found in the arms of the deceitful. Now i must thirst for what brings life to us all. Consuming blackness, i am the unseen. Knowing that this is what kiss, i will destroy. A breath that will endure, a kiss that shall be your last. Hunting in search of satisfying a taste for my life - to save you the pain. Forcing my presence to be but a mere shadow cast upon your sweet cheek. Become one with me. Follor me and together we can exist in the shadow of gloom. Conceal ourselved from the light and rest until we must breathe again when the nighttime calls. To reconcile the thoughts for the beloved, we must give in to the taste. To the taste. We must give in. To the taste. For we are alone to torment the fucking souls of the mortal flesh, and bound by the everlasting taste.
There are no nights now when I don't dream and wake in the darkness to find
I've been weeping.
But it has been ages since I've cried while awake, 'cause centuries wear on
The heart, they erode it away.
I'm still trying to record each word You spoke and if I finish I'll fill up
This earth.
But the memory of Your voice leaves me empty, 'cause I've been banished and
Boiled alive and yet I remain and they still call me by name, but they
Don't say it the same.
I watched all my brothers become martyrs and die one at a time, but I often
Wonder if waiting for You is the harder sacrifice.
I'm still trying to record each word You spoke and if I finish I'll fill up
This earth, but the memory of Your voice leave me empty.
I may be feeble and barely alive, but I've yet to forget a single word that
You said.
If my voice breaks down and all of my strength gives out and I'm just a
Shell left breathing my last days out.
Let it be known that time is a thief who surely steals everything, but in
My case it just cleared out the waste for me.
Nothing has dimmed; You have simply eclipsed all that stood in the way.
I'd give 20 more lifetimes; it would all be the same.
In the end, I know I'll find You will come once again.
Here I am, I'm right here
Oh I wish you could feel me
Standing so close
I'm right beside you dear
I fly around this old man house
I float through our walls
I scream and I call
While I watch you without me
All I feel, all I am now
Is this love I have for you
Each night it's you
You I lay beside
Close my eyes, never to sleep
I tell you all the things I should have said
But you'll never know
How could I act such a part
As to love the one who breaks my heart
I had to go'
So put your hands here round my waist
Though you cannot feel my touch dear
And dance with me as you did before
I'm bound forever to this house
I can never go beyond that door
I dance alone
So when you think of me, smile
It's the only way that I can see
That you still care for me
Close my eyes, never to sleep
I tell you all the things I should have said
But you'll never know
How could I act such a part
As to love the one who breaks my heart
I had to go'
Here I am, I'm right here
How I wish you could see me dear
How can I call out Your name
When You're so far away
And You're right by my side?
How can I speak of Your love
When You're so far above
But You hear when I cry?
Those who put their hope in You
Will never be turned away
Those who place their trust in You
Will never be put to shame
I am waiting here for You
To hear You speak my name

Im the one who cant forget
You can see it in my step
Somethings come over me
I knew it was curtains for me
Now Im the one who cant forget
You can feel it in my chest
Now this caged bird has grown teeth
And one day youll turn it back
Im the one who cant forget
