Those being very small
Have been heard to say
That being small's OK.
Those getting rather big
May come to find
They've left their space behind.
Hey, yeah, you
Living in the middle
Too afraid to come out
Hanging on to your pride
So uneasy.
All fall down, it makes no difference
God Almighty holds the balance here
Get out, get out, get out of here.
We collide, how formal,
Is that why we're here?
Those going all the way
Have been heard to say
That being here's OK.
[Repeat 3rd Verse]
All fall down, it makes no difference.
God Almighty, hold the balance here
Get out, get out, get out of here.
We collide, how formal.
And gain control,
Jump up for the whole town, Willy,
Go get a band,
Oh man, you look so pretty,
Reach out, reach out,
Play it while you can,
'Cause soon you'll be a man.
Breathe in, and be a man among many,
Be all that you can be.
Watch out, watch out,
There may be empty space,
More than you can face.
If by chance you lose your head,
Don't sell yourself too short,
Hold on.
Ain't no lie, we can fly.
My, my, my, we're alive.
Breathe out, and when the hounds get hungry,
Come marching with a mad dog's cane.
Hang on, hang on,
When all you have is gone,
It's time to carry on.
There is a sense of purpose
As we move along.
Nothing makes much sense right here,
Until the moneymaker's gone.
Keep on believing.
There is a sense of purpose
As we move along,
Nothing makes much sense right here,
Until the moneymaker's gone.
'Til it's gone,
Yeah, 'til it's gone,
Who oh who
Yeah, 'til it's gone,
Yeah, yeah,
Oh oh I yes.
[Repeat 1st Verse]
If by chance, you lose your heart,
Be patient.
Time can help. Hold on.
Ain't no lie, we can fly.
My, my, my, we're alive.
We're alive, oh alive.
Ain't no lie, we can fly,
We can fly, yeah, yeah.
My, my, my, we're alive.
Oh oh oh yeah.
Ain't no lie, we can fly.
La la la la la
My, my, my, we're alive.
Tall stories,
You got tall stories.
I want to stop, but I'm feeling go.
When I'm saying, "Yes," I mean, "No, no, no."
Mercy, mercy, can this mean
I've got a taste of what you'd rather have me be?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Patience, patience wearing thin.
Don't guide me through where you ain't been.
It takes a whole damn lot to wear me down, down, down
And right now friend, I'm about to stand my ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Sit in your chair, let down your hair, don't be so afraid.
Take in the view, it's only you, don't be so afraid.
Stay in the sun and leave the gun, don't be so afraid.
Get out your way, you'll maybe stay, don't be so afraid.
Is this the way it has to be,
While I'm still here making out with me.
All components stamped with pride,
I've got the makings of another suicide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Push or pull, just get me out of here.
Consider this a warning and I hope I'm clear.
I don't know how I'll make it while I own the ace.
I'd like to give it back before I pin it to your face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
I want to look, so I turn away,
Then I slip and slide when it's time to pray.
Quiet faith, don't scream and shout,
I haven't died enough to find the guts to let you out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Ups Downs Reds Whites
Continued over using
Everything on lower shelf
Is guaranteed for self abusing
The lights are out,
There's no one home boys.
I know it well,
The magic's gone.
By self design,
The egos fallen.
Look out
I died a thousand years ago.
[Repeat Beginning Chant with:]
It's happened, will happen, what happened.
Might happen, did happen can
Zero at the point of it all
Just happened, did happen, what happened.
Might happen, did happen can
Zero at the point of it all
Who holds the hand of doom these days?
Hangs out with pain,
It's poison.
Forget the dreams
They'll blow away.
Romantic nights,
With friends like I.V.
Look out,
What madness, my we lie so well
It happened, can happen, what happened,
Might happen, it happened,
Zero at the point of it all.
Just happened, it happened, yeah happened.
Did happen, can happen.
Zero at the point of it all,

Yeah happened, did happen
Zero at the point of it all.
It just happened, might happen, did happen,
Will happen, can happen

[And Chant with 2nd Chorus simultaneously:]
When you close your eyes at night,
Are you

Still breathing
When?
Just happened, yeah happened, can happen
Did happen, will happen.
Zero at the point of it all,
It happened, can happen, yeah happened,

All my knock down tears have washed me
Pink clouds, an island.
It's a place
Where I can hide.
Selfishly I cling to
Parts of me
I'm afraid I might find.
Pink clouds, an island,
It insulates me
From letting you know
That I'm quietly dying.
I live here
When I don't want to grow.
I'm alone
Out here again.
Goodbye, over,
And It really doesn't matter,
Matter.
[Repeat Chorus]
And it really doesn't matter
Matter.
And it really doesn't matter
Matter.
And it really doesn't matter
Matter.
And it really doesn't matter
I am at night an undertaker
I do thy dirty work for thee
And after doing, ask this question,
"What in the hell are you to me?"
Push, push, push
Silly bugger
You're a vagabond
Yeah, yeah
Get you out of this town
You are at best distorted pleasure (pleasure)
Between the lipstick and the rouge
Too bad my instinct has been sleeping
And let your thoughts become my food.
[Repeat Chorus]
Expect short measure in your payload
I'm through with working out with thee
I'm on my way to higher places (places)
There's no excuse any more since the fire,
Since the whole house burned down.
Blow off the lid when my future demand
I make profit from my yesterday,
Biding my time just to work on the moves.
Why, why,
I feel the growing city winds,
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Oh, the survivor's out again,
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Life has arrived, I am amazed,
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Learning how not to rape the day,
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Goodbye, terror, 'til we meet again.
Oh what a fantasy, being alive when I'm dead
Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead
Out from the jar called the King of Ballet,
"If you want, I'll call you every day."
Keeping the trinkets from worlds left behind
And the owner didn't see or mind.
Knowing the difference sure hurts, but it helps
Why, why.
I feel the growing city winds.
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Here's where they and I begin,
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Perfect conditions on parade,
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Off with the mask, you're done and paid.
Bye, bye, bye, bye
Light up the candles,
Let there be peace tonight
Throw out the pain that made you cry.
Up to the rafters,
Watch the candlelight glow.
Follow your heart, see where it goes.
Don't forget your prayers
Before your bedtime.
No more talking, too.
No more wars or hurt
Before your bedtime.
Place your head upon whatever
You've been chosen to call bed.
And while you're sleeping,
Bye, bye, di li li li
And while you're sleeping.
Light up the candles,
Leave the rest of the day,
Follow your dreams and float away.
[Repeat Chorus]
Conscience tells
The present story
In a room below.
I know I ask for much tonight.
Too much to ask for peace tonight.
I know I ask for much tonight.
Stop the night,
My thoughts get louder
After dark.
Ooh, the lies
The crazies tell me this much,
Ahaa.
It's a simple enough task, boys,
To find a living miracle,
But the living ain't easy,
I need a shot of medicine.
Start the day,
My head denies I'm breathing,
It likes to say,
"Am I here or leaving me?"
There's a want that I ask
All the Time.
Possession of my right mind.
You're not deaf,
But I still have to shout.
Watch out, there's lots
Of thieves about.
Along, along the way
I stand beside myself
And look at all my world.
No need to tell me.
I see dead men playing.
I hear cries from many.
I see tears and then some.
I hear hope, I'm hoping.
I'm caught with all
The shutters down.
Who's looking through my window?
I had to close the saddest eyes.
[Repeat 1st and 2nd Bridges]
[Ozzy Scat Simultaneously with 3rd Bridge:]
You've got to be a winner
You've got to be cool
You've got to be a winner
you've got to be cool
I see me inside you.
I hear fear and then some.
I see children playing,
I see hope, I'm hoping.
Faraway (way)
I hear a memory calling me.
I'd like to stay,
Listen my son,
One thing I've learned
And I know it.
Bombers can open bomb bays
Love all you can
This precious thing
Called your own life.
Remember, bombers can open bomb bays.
Might you meet somebody
That has your mother's eyes and smile.
Might you meet them,
Don't blow them away.
Don't hurt them, just hold them,
Make someone happy.
The things you do, it's up to you,
Try being happy.
And I say I can believe it,
And I do.
I do believe there's hope for you.
There's hope for you.
There's hope for you
Listen my son,
I'm in a war
And I know it,
Remember, bombers can open bomb bays.
Complimentary worship
May close your many open doors.
Might you be cool,
Don't get blown away,
Don't hurt you, just hold you
And make you happy.
The things you do, it's up to you
Try being happy.
And I say I can believe it,
And I do.
I'm just a being here.
My heart cries out,
But no one's near.
I'm just a being here,
Down city road.
After the darkest day
I have been heard to say
Nothing feels better than
Being so close to you.
Fish in the trees
And birds swimming in seas
Oh God,
Cover your frozen eyes,
That's when the laughter died out.
The world is watching us from a distance
Wanting more from their own existence
Tell me how do we make a difference for eternity
Does anybody want to know why we're alive?
Oh oh oh oh
What's the purpose of this life?
Oh oh oh oh
Before I die and I leave the world behind
And I don't want to know why I'm alive?
You're created for the creator to live inside
There's a hole in Your soul and I know that You try
To fill it with every little thing but the very one who can heal it
And bring hope to a world that wants to know why they're alive
Oh oh oh oh
What's the purpose of this life?
Oh oh oh oh
Before I die and I leave the world behind
And I don't want to know why I'm alive?
Spirit cry for this generation
We're chasing the wind trying to embrace it
Open our eyes to all the lies that we try to justify
When deep down inside all we want to find
Is someone that loves us all of the time and it's You
Yeah it's You oh oh only You
Yeah it's You oh oh oh
You're beautiful came down from Heaven
Just to save my save my soul
Beautiful oh oh oh oh oh
You're so beautiful
The people of this world are praising You

Are you the wonderful creator, the one and only Son
God becoming man bringing salvation to everyone
Are You the Messiah, the risen and living Lord
Did You die for me on a tree paying the price I can't afford

How can I ignore thee, in the midst of Your creation
And I want to know You, and I want to know You, yeah
And I want to love You, I'm better than I do right now, right now

On this earth just as is in Heaven

The city lights shine so bright in the sky at night
When the sun goes down for the evening
(Down for the evening)
The palm trees sway with the breeze under these conditions
I think I?m thanking God for the seasons
'Cause he?s all that I?m searching for, that?s right
So give him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor
(Come on now!)
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter
And brighter and brighter and brighter
Ooh ooh, my burden's getting lighter and lighter
And lighter and lighter and lighter
Before G O D my burden was heavy I had no reason for living
(Reason for living)
But then he gave me eyes to see everything inside of me
That held me back from this freedom
'Cause he?s all that I?m searching for, that?s right
So give him your burdens and get your body on the dance floor
(Come on now!)
Ooh ooh, things are getting brighter and brighter

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both for far too long now
Since we've parted ways
I've been wrestling with my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away
Just between you and me
I've got something' to say
I wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
If confession is the road to healing
Forgiveness is the promised land
I'm reaching out in my conviction
I'm longing to make amends
So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken
For I've betrayed a friend
We've got a love that's worth preserving
And a bond I will defend
Just between you and me
I've got something' to say
I wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
In my pursuit of God, I thirst for holiness
As I approach the Son, I must consider this
Offenses unresolved, they'll keep me from the throne
Spirit move, flood this room, changing hearts
Igniting sparks, burning bright for you
I see an army of angels arriving barely beyond
The horizon with their eyes on our lives living
In these dangerous times I'm reminded that I'm not alone
I rely on God to make me strong as people turn into bombs
Dangerous minds, death tolls on the rise, call it a sacrifice
To the father of lies 'cause they do not realize
They been deceived they cannot see Christ blood set me free
So I march in victory
Come with Your life, come with Your Spirit
We all wanna hear it
Come with Your life, come with Your vision
We wanna listen
Move me like a river, take me out to sea
Who I really wanna be is changing the world
And not conforming in these end times
I see signs with little warning you're transforming
My mind from death to life I'm livin' on the mic
Writing rhymes till the second coming of Christ
So take me out with Your tidal wave
'Cause I've been tossed around like a slave, lost by the ways
I crave slippin' by holdin' on to a reef in disbelieve
And let go as You take control of everything inside of me
Move me like a river
Take me out to sea
Spirit move
Verse:
Forgive me for the words I spoke,
Before they ever left my throat,
My heart would rather rebel than obey.
Forgive me for this life of sin, I know
I need a new beginning, Lord I've gone astray.
Chorus:
Take this life make it yours
Do what's right oh Lord.
You got to take this, take this life...
You got to make it, make it right...
Verse
Take my flesh take my pride take the sins I try
To hide take my doubts take my fears
All the pain and all the tears and I fall down on my knees
Lord I'm begging ya please Lord
Take the shame take the blame it's all the same...
Take this life
Make it right
Take this life
I don't want to live a life that's compromising to the King
I'd rather live for you than live for me or anything
Take this life (and all my hidden sins)
Do what's right (and everything within) oh Lord
You got take this take this life
Well, summertime's here and it's uch a good feeling
School is out and now I'm all about chillin'
Hangin' with my buddies at a barbque
You can call your friends and we'll meet around 2 o'clock
Around the block, people walking, talking
About whatever as they head to the park
And I think the temperatures a warm 85 in the sunshine
And now my cities alive
No worries 'bout rain on a sunny day
'Cuz the blue skies chasin' all the clouds away
It's just me my family and all my friends
'Cuz in the summer every day is a weekend
I can feel your love like a breeze off the water
Your love, your love, your love
Oh, yea, na, na, na, I know that it's right now
Around 7 pm, I'm gonna call my friends
Wake them up from a nap 'cuz they probably slept in
Go home grab a bite and change my clothes
I'm headed out with my crew cruisin' the roads
Lookin' for some fun on a positive tip
Roll down the windows, turnin' up the music
I caught an eye saying hit to some fly, honnies
So we stopped and taled and just shot the breeze
'Cuz summertime is so kick back
Sometimes, I wish my life is always like that
Around mid night and now I'm headed back home
Thinking to myself when I'm all alone
Thank God for a beautiful day
I feel your love in so many ways
In the hot summer breeze
Underneath the trees
Where the shade is cool
A light in the eyes, and
A smile on the face, Oh
The innocence blows one away
God bless all the laughter
The children's dear laughter
It's something so special, so gay
When they fall down
I feel sad
They're falling down
Real, real bad
Children killing children
What's this all about
Children killing children
What's this all about
I almost denied it
The fact that they're dying
And seeking approval each day
What absolute chaos
When babies are murdered
By bullets that just went astray
When they fall down
I feel sad
They're falling down
Real, real bad
Children killing children
What's this all about
Children killing children
What's this all about
When they fall down
I feel sad
They're falling down
Real, real bad
Children killing children
What's this all about
Are you doing alright
Do you feel very well
Are there things in your life you've always wanted
Like respect, prestige and so on
Can you tell
Working so hard
For the things that you want
But lose anyway
Isn't it sad that the things that we have
We lose anyway
Any day now
It's gonna come
Any day now
Hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
When the bough breaks
When the bough breaks
You really know it
Yeah you really know it
You really know it
Yeah you really know know know know know know know
When the bough breaks

You really know it
You really know it know it know it
You really know when you're there
'Cause you're there
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Have you ever counted just
How many times you've traveled to tomorrow
Seeing this, discounting that
And thinking how great it will be once in tomorrow
Can you reach out with your waiting arms
And meet a man who loves broken hearts
Hello
What about dreams
Have you had many dreams
Do they float away
Shivering slightly to know how it is
Is there loss hey hey
Any day now
It's gonna come
Any day now
Hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
Hold on
Hold on hold on hold on
When the bough breaks

How many times we travel to tomorrow
Seeing this, discounting that
And thinking how great it will be once in tomorrow
Can you reach out with your waiting arms
And meet a man who loves broken hearts
Hello
Can you reach out with your waiting arms
And meet a man who loves broken hearts
Hello
Hello
Hello
Hello baby
Hello
I want to stop, but I'm feeling go.
When I'm saying, "Yes," I mean, "No, no, no."
Mercy, mercy, can this mean
I've got a taste of what you'd rather have me be?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Patience, patience wearing thin.
Don't guide me through where you ain't been.
It takes a whole damn lot to wear me down, down, down
And right now friend, I'm about to stand my ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Sit in your chair, let down your hair, don't be so afraid.
Take in the view, it's only you, don't be so afraid.
Stay in the sun and leave the gun, don't be so afraid.
Get out your way, you'll maybe stay, don't be so afraid.
Is this the way it has to be,
While I'm still here making out with me.
All components stamped with pride,
I've got the makings of another suicide.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
Push or pull, just get me out of here.
Consider this a warning and I hope I'm clear.
I don't know how I'll make it while I own the ace.
I'd like to give it back before I pin it to your face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
I want to look, so I turn away,
Then I slip and slide when it's time to pray.
Quiet faith, don't scream and shout,
I haven't died enough to find the guts to let you out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh.
I light my cigarette
Oh no, I ain't quit yet
I ponder for a while
And then begin to smile
I might not get well
I might not seek help
I'm only human after all
Oh what a poor excuse
But one I can always use
When I can't imagine growth at all
At the watershed
Non-wrong watershed
I lie bathing in my itsy bitsy bitsy life
I say thanks and then
Feel indifferent and
Keep on basking in my itsy bitsy bitsy life
My itsy bitsy bitsy life, my itsy bitsy bitsy life, my itsy bitsy bitsy
life
Find
Love
Shine
Shine
I might not get well
I might not seek help
I'm only human after all
Oh what a poor excuse
But one I can always use
When I can't imagine growth at all
At the watershed
Non-wrong watershed
I lie bathing in my itsy bitsy bitsy life
I say thanks and then
Feel indifferent and
Keep on basking in my itsy bitsy bitsy life
My itsy bitsy bitsy life, my itsy bitsy bitsy life, my itsy bitsy bitsy
life
Find
Love
Shine
Try life
I heard try life
Seeds sown
To seek the unknown
What a reason
What a reason chasing me
I stayed hanging onto a life
That threatened to destroy
I knew it and it didn't even care
Help me from this was whispered in the dark
I knew that I'd got lost
But that life never listened it just laughed
When I got lonely
Ooh I got lonely
I'd ask it, I'd ask it connect me up, yeah yeah
And when I was dying
I thought I was dying
I'd ask it, I'd ask it to bring me 'round, yeah yeah
When hungry I would feed myself
To me and in that self made hell
I'd cry out
I'd cry out
That's when I heard try life
I heard try life
Real life
A whole life
What a reason
Please help
Please help, ooh

Please help mommy she's a junkie, yeh
Say it one more time
I said please help
Please help, ooh

The mother, the mother, the mother
The mother's gone away
The mother, the mother, the mother
The mother's gone away
The mother, the mother, the mother
The mother's gone away
The mother, the mother, the mother
The mother's gone away
Momma throws all her love away
She's dropped the ball on everything
Momma just breathes from day to day
She's dropped the ball on everything
All she ever really wanted was her life, her life
With just a little bit of icing on the cake
All she ever really wanted was her life, her life
With just a little bit of love and give and take
Get behind this
There ain't no love anymore
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my
There ain't no love anymore
She's dead inside it's for sure
Here we go

Well all that I know
It takes a cold heart, cold heart
To tear things apart
And turn something into nothing, nothing
It's been so hard, hard
To love the cold heart, cold heart
That tore things apart
And turned something into nothing, nothing
Ain't that the way it goes
Ain't that the way it goes
It always seems to go
It always seems to go
Into nothing, nothing
Well all that I know
It may take a while, a while
To let yourself smile
After something, turns to nothing, nothing
All the heartaches, heartaches
Come up with the sun, the sun
So mangled and done, so done
Because something turned to nothing, nothing
Ain't that the way it goes
Ain't that the way it goes
It always seems to go
It always seems to go
It's easy to ridicule somebody else's messes
It's easy to blame and sacrifice
It's easy to immunize and kill your many pressures
It's easy to do it and it's nice
It's easy to lust, objectify and crave for better
It's easy to kick and punch and take
It's easy to walk away, give up and say I'm better
It's easy to maim and hurt and fake
It's so easy
It's easy
To hate
To hate
It's easy to be on stage alone and feel indifferent
It's easy to lie, deny and ache
It's easy to live, especially when you're living
It's easy to want a big mistake
It's so easy
It's easy
To hate
To hate
It's easy to preach when you're immersed in self and anger
It's easy to throw away a life
It's easy to terrify all that you think you covet
It's easy to cut without a knife
It's so easy
It's easy
To hate
In a meadow of grass and golden light
A noble is born to fall in flight
While the slaughter to feed just grows and grows
Where's the pity for those who serve our souls.
Animal animal run away
Animal animal don't delay.
Oh what a shame
Savour the blood and guts of it all
Ball and chain
Over and over again.
With the wind at your back on rainy nights
Do you ever give thanks and say alright
For the leather that's warmed the self esteem
While the humble and dumb provide the screams.
Animal animal run away
Animal animal don't delay.
Oh what a shame
Wearing the cuts and the bruise of it all
Ball and chain
I’m sorry to wake you from
Your sleep
Now baby open up your eyes
We have to go downstairs
Find some shelter
Get some help
And stay alive
How am I supposed to save you
In this chaos
Clinging, please don’t die
Where are the defenses
We were promised, oh I hope that they’ve arrived
M8 Bring it on, the misery, tonight
Come and tell the story here tonight
We never ever have to even look
no no
no no
no no
Turn away, we never have to look
no no
no no
no no
Put your eyes on mine forever
This will be our last endeavor
Baby we won’t ever have to look
Daddy’s in the Army, Daddy’s in the Army
And, Mommy’s joining too
God help all the countries
They do know what they do
We never ever have to even look
no no
no no
no no
Turn away, we never have to look
no no
no no
no no
Hell bound in the senses
Much too late to point and blame
When questioning why
Let’s pretend that we’re dancing
As in yesterday, when it was stars that
filled the sky
Yeah, sky
M8 Bring it on, the misery, tonight
Come and tell the story here tonight
We never ever have to even look
no no
no no
no no
Turn away, we never have to look
no no
no no
no no
Put your eyes on mine forever
This will be our last endeavor
Near a lake
Compelled, I made a start
The kind that comes when feeling torn apart
I daren't believe it
Drained through holes, just like you and me
Past the words of insincerity
I daren't believe it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I just didn't want to believe it
But the truths let me in
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Lift me up
Lift me up
Take me down to where the calm is
Where my lies deny the light is
Lift me up
Lift me up
Past the years and years of feeding
My distortions and my bleeding
'Cause I daren't believe it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I just didn't want to believe it
But the truths let me in
Truths let me in
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
I said I daren't believe it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I just didn't want to believe it
But the truths let me in
Let me in yeh
Yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Growing up, I feared the boy
And who he was, I just ignored him
Weightless eyes, it's come to this
I have to trust what's healthy for him
Oh dear, is that my tear
Growing up, I watched the boy
He turned to freedoms that could numb forever
Then a kiss, a final kiss
Gave closure to what was
In not one minute
Oh my, home from the big lie
An imminent clear passage
Sends a chill into my back
And what's more threatening now
Is that there's no way to turn back
I, friend of mine, friend of mine
Don't know what to say, time out, time out
Don't know where we can go from here, Love
I'm friend of mine, friend of mine
Finally meeting you, time out, time out
Don't know where we go from here, love
When I was a child,
I heard you calling
When I was a child,
I took the heat
I heard you calling
But I couldn't stand up
On my two feet
And I kept watching you
I was watching you
And I'd follow all the things
You'd have to do
Yes all the time
I kept hearing you
I was hearing you
And I really liked an awful lot of you
Most of the time
And now I've learned
That when I'm ready to trust
I'll let you know
I said when I feel like I am ready to trust
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, see if you understand
Troubled and hardened there's safety in rage
So when I was a child I kept building a cage
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
I felt love fragment heartache
In my body as a child
Oh yeah and I remember
Being taught to not run wild
What about all those promises
And the failures to proceed
And I seem to recall now
My own hunger and your greed
Look in my eyes and you see who I am
Look in my eyes see if you understand
With complex compassion, I've tried to stay near
But when you found wrong I would never appear
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
When I searched for the father
And the son and the holy ghost
I felt blows from my neighbors
Who were lost and hurt me most
For the millions of children
The Sao Paulos everywhere
I've remembered who I am
I'm a child who wants to share
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, see if you understand
Troubled and hardened there's safety in rage
So when I was a child I kept building a cage
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Sit quietly
After dark
Sit quietly
When it's dark
The air is clean, it heals the lungs
The moon is full, and forest songs
Heard only at this time of night
Just seems to make it all feel right
Step lightly
On the grass
Step lightly
In the grass
In green fields with a breeze that plays
With leaves that seek a resting place
A clay pot holds sweet water clear
There is no thirst or chaos here
I'm not so tired
So very tired
Put down the tow line
The toil and sweat is done today
You get your food
You get your life
You get your food
You get your life
Deep in the furrows
The aching soul has earned it's pay
You get your food
You get your life
You get your food
You get your life
Resting a while it's so nice here
Oh yes it helps to make things clear
So clear
Get easy
When you can
Get easy
If you can
The back is cracked and feels so straight
This is a time to celebrate
With no more debts to pay today
The touch, the smell, the taste can play
I'm not so tired
But more inspired
Put down the tow line
The toil and sweat is done today
You get your food
You get your life
You get your food
You get your life
Deep in the furrows
The aching soul has earned it's pay
You get your food
You get your life
You get your food
You get your life
Resting a while it's so nice here
Oh yes it helps to make things clear
So clear
Resting a while it's so nice here
Oh yes it helps to make things very clear
