I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world,
''Cos so many people are dying
Lost in a lost world.
Some of them are living an illusion,
Bounded by the darkness of their minds,
In their eyes, it's nation, against nation, against nation
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light
They think they're right
Living in their empty shells
Oh, can you see their world is crashing
(so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet
And angry people in the street,
(so many people, so many people)
Are telling them "they've had their fill
Of politics that wound and kill"
Grow, the seed of evolution
(so many people, so many people)
Revolution never won
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
With all our brothers youngest sons.
(so many people, so many people)
Everywhere you go you'll see them searching
Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answer
We'll look again, come on my friend
Love will find them in the end
Come on my friend we've got to bend
On our knees and say a prayer.
Oh, can you feel the world is pining
(so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares,
Enough to share his love,
With all of us. So we can be
An ever loving family.
Have you forgotten we're all children
(so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
And started long ago when you and I
Where only love....
(so many people, so many people)
I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
''Cos so many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
New Horizons
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I've got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
''Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday...
Where is this place that we have found
Nobody knows where we are bound
I long to hear, I need to see
''Cos I've shed tears too many for me
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
''Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday...
On the wind, soaring free
Spread your wings,
I'm beginning to see
Out of mind, far from view
Beyond the reach, of a nightmare come true
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I've got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
''Cos I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
Someday...
Someway...
For My Lady
My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
As life goes drifting by
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh
And slowly bow her head
Then you'll hear her softly cry
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Words that you say when we're alone
Though actions speak louder than words
But all I can say is I love you so
To drive away all my hurt
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Set sail before the sun
Feel the warmth that's just begun
Share each and every dream
They belong to everyone
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
Isn't Life Strange
Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard man will try?
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry -
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't love strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love we must weave
To make us as one
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
A book without light
Unless with love we write;
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were:
You And Me
There's a leafless tree in Asia,
Under the sun there's a homeless man,
There's a forest fire in the valley,
Where the story all began
What will be our last thought
Do you think it's coming soon
Will it be a comfort,
Or the pain of a burning wound.
All we're trying to say
Is we are all we've got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never never stop
You're an ocean full of faces.
And you know that we believe
We're just a wave that drifts around you
Singing all our hopes and dreams.
We look around in wonder
At the work that has been done,
By the visions of our father,
Touched by his loving son.
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got.
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop.
All we are trying to say
Is we are all we've got
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, never stop
You and me just cannot fail
If we never, ever, never, ever stop...
The Land Of Make-Believe
We're living in a land of make-believe
And trying not to let it show
Maybe in that land of make-believe
Heartaches can turn into joy.
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low
We're taking up a lot of room
Somewhere in the dark and silent night
Our prayer will be heard,
Make it soon.
So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why, why.
Open all the shutters on your windows
Unlock all the locks upon your doors
Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams
No secrets come between us anymore
Oh, say it's true
Only love can see you through
You know what love can do it to you
We're living in a land of make-believe
And trying no to let it show
Maybe in that land of make-believe
Heartaches can turn into joy.
We're breathing in the smoke of high and low
We're taking up a lot of room
Somewhere in the dark and lonely night
Our prayer will be heard,
Make it soon
So fly little bird
Up into the clear blue sky
And carry the word
Love's the only reason why...
Open all the shutters on your windows
Unlock all the locks upon your doors
Brush away the cobwebs from your day-dreams
No secrets come between us any more
Oh, say it's true
Only love can see you through
You know what love can do it to you.
When You're A Free Man
Time quickly passes by,
If only we could talk again
Someday I hope I'll see you (smiling)
When you're a free man again.
High on a mountain-side
We laughed and talked of things to come
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again.
You left your country,
For peace of mind,
And something tells me
You're doing alright,
How are the children
And Rosemary
I long to see you
And be in your company
Someday I hope I'll see you (smiling)
When you're a free man again
I often wonder why
Our world has gone so far astray
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When we're all free men again
You gave love freely
To those with tears
Your eyes were sad when
You saw the need
You know that love lasts,
For eternity,
Let's be God's children,
And live in perfect peace.
Peace perfect peace
Perfect peace
Peace
Someway I know I'll see you shining
When you're a free man
When we're all free men again
Yeah...
When you're a free man
I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)
I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people
Who are trying to be free
And while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
Now we've found the key
And if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
Only who is the artist
We got to agree
A thousand miles can lead so many ways
Just to know who is driving
What a help it would be
So if you want this world of yours
To turn about you
And you can see exactly what to do
Please tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth.
I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people

And while I'm traveling I hear so many words

And if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
And you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.

How can we understand
Riots by the people for the people
Who are only destroying themselves
And when you see a frightened
Person who is frightened by the
People who are scorching this earth.
Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
We're just the singers in a rock and roll band...
