Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile
Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles
Your face, your eyes, I can't find the girl I look for
Shadows can conceal you
you can't hide, so please don't try
Your life and my love
But to search just makes me cry
Life was so young and another day is gone
Love seems a lost word
How can my heart be strong
When that was is again I wait for love to be there
Then in the shadows I see the face I look for
But then like the night you're gone just as before
A face in a crowd
A shadow once more
I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found
I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Let me hear you sing, Hallelujah
Oh tell it to the man who's power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it 'till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope you'll soon be justified
There is a better way of life and it's not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind
I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Black night is not right,
I don't feel so bright,
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't need a dark tree,
I don't want a rough sea,
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night,
I don't need black night,
I can't see dark night
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better--she said
Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
Ooh I had a strange kind of woman
Oh, my honey, take my money
I do what I wanna do
Don't you know the sun is shining
I'm sure trying, I ain't crying
My feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom, oh
No more walking or fast talking
No things are gonna wear me out
I'm sure glad I wasn't born a fool, yeah
Some day, baby, you'll be my lady
I know that it won't be long
We ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
Oh, honey honey honey, taking all my money
I do what I really wanna do
Oh, the sun is shining
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I never never cried
Oh, my feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale
Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul
If you find me tuggin' at your sleeve
Oh yeah well maybe you better believe
I'm searchin' for the one true love
That's all I'm thinking of
I believe in taking chances
Wanna see what true romance is
I'll be risking my life tonight
Fire, ice and dynamite
In the fire, ice and dynamite
If you see me runnin' to extremes
Oh yeah, well I'm only chasing my dreams
If you see me comin', close the door
I'm coming back for more
I believe in taking chances
Gonna see what true romance is
I'll be risking my life tonight
Fire, ice and dynamite
In the fire, ice and dynamite
Fire and ice .....dynamite
Don't you worry if it starts to rain
Step aside if you can't stand the pain
From the mountain top to the valley below
Oh yeah where the fightin' rivers flow
I may be burning in the frozen sun
I'm gonna be number one
I believe in taking chances
Wanna see what true romance is
I'll be risking my life tonight
Fire, ice and dynamite
