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, 
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide, 
Thinking only of themselves, 
They shun the light, 
They think they're right 
Living in the empty shells. 

Oh, can you see their world is crashing? 
Crashing down around their feet 
And angry people in the street 
Are telling them they've had their fill 
Of politics that wound and kill. 
Grow, the seeds of evolution. 
Revolution never won, 
It's just another form of gun 
To do again what they have done 
With all our brothers' youngest sons. 

Everywhere you go you'll feel 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? 
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? 
Children from a family tree 
That's longer than a centipede 
And started long ago 
When you and I were only love. 

I woke up today, I was crying, 
Lost in a lost world, 
'Cos so many people are dying, 
Lost in a lost world.

New Horizons

But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift, 
It will always be that way, 
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind 
Some day, some way. 

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, 
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind 
Some day, some way. 

On the wind, soaring free, 
Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see. 
Out of mind, far from view, 
Beyond the reach of the nightmare come true. 

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, 
And I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind 
Some day, some way.

For My Lady

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 towards 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

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 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, and here we are.

You And Me

What will be our last thought, 
Do you think it's coming soon,
Will it be of comfort 
Or the pain of a burning wound? 

All we are trying to say 
Is we are all we've got. 
You and me just cannot fail 
If we never, never stop. 
Ah! 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 vision 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.

The Land Of Make-Believe

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 up the shutters on your windows; 
Unlock all the locks upon your door. 
Brush away the cobwebs from your daydreams, 
No secrets come between us any more. 

Oh say it's true. 
Only love will see you through, 
You know what love can do to you. 

We're living in the 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 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, why. 

Open up the shutters on your windows; 
Unlock all the locks upon your door. 
Brush away the cobwebs from your daydream, 
No secrets come between us any more. 

Oh say it's true. 
Only love will see you through, 
You know what love can do to you.

When You're A Free Man

High on a mountain side 
We laughed and talked of things to come. 
Some way 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. 

Some way 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. 
Some way 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 harmony. 

Some way I know I'll see you shining 
When you're a free man, 
When we're all free men again. 
Yeah

I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)

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 gotta 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 

Music is the traveller crossing our world 
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas 
We're just singers in a rock and roll band.
