Excuse me, may I interrupt you? There's something I must tell you There's someone special in there waiting Who wants to meet you They have a message (They got a message) For you [scatting] If I could only take a second Or even just a minute I'd like to give you all your lifetime And put you in it They have a message (They have a message) For you All I wanna do is give you yourself If you haven't got you, then there ain't nobody else If you listen late at night, you can hear someone cry The little voice is callin' you the victim of the lie Nothing else makes sense, break down the fences To the truth of yourself, without the defenses Nothing could be greater than the great imitator Fallin' prey to the truth that will set your soul free Happiness is simply your dreams coming true And your dreams will come true if you're just true to you. [scatting] There's really nothing else that can set you free There's nothing else that makes sense to you and me The time is right now, there's no more fight now, Just meet yourself and then you'll learn to see Excuse me, may I interrupt you? There's something I must tell you There's someone special in there waiting Who wants to meet you They have a message [scatting] They got a message... |

Whoa... I've been watchin' your performance since I was just a boy You're so diplomatic and you're actin' so coy I see you on the TV at night when I'm in bed Can a blind man understand the color red? I see you at the podium, how gracefully you sway You're talkin' real clear, but are you hearin' what you say? Your lips keep movin', talkin' as you walk But everybody knows you're not walkin' what you talk I see you eating out, I don't mean to be rude But you're so busy readin' menus, you forgot to order food You're livin' in the image of a long-forgotten dream You're actin' out the action of a bad movie scene Your campaign slogan says you want to make a change You want to help the hungry and the mentally deranged Stop being arrogant, get down off your shelf 'Cause you can't help no one if you can't help yourself. Chorus: Shut your mouth and open your mind (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) Shut your mouth and open your mind Shut your mouth and open your mind (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) Shut your mouth and open your mind I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa You pretend that you listen, you don't hear what we say You're so far from the truth you can't see the light of day You messed up your mind, 'cause you took the easy road And actin' understanding only made you grow old I wish I'd like to tell you the things I wanna say But first you gotta chip out the lies in your way There's too many like you, and no matter what you say Whoever wrote the lines forgot to throw them away. I'd really like to tell you what you don't wanna hear, man Everything you're living for is grounded in fear. As long as you keep talkin' up the side of your neck You'll never understand why your life is a wreck. Just listen to the song, that's as close as you'll get You'll get, to any sense of hope to get your soul out of debt. It effectively elaborates the pattern that you weave, We all see the ace that you keep up your sleeve. Shut your mouth and open your mind (Easy does it boys, he just lost his mind) Shut your mouth and open your mind (Check it out boys, he's just hard to find) Shut your mouth and open your mind (Take it easy boys, he don't know what he's sayin') Shut your mouth and open your mind (Easy does it boys, get down.) [scatting] I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, easy does it boys, he just lost his mind) I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Check it, check it, check it out boys) I see you at the podium, how gracefully you sway You're talkin' real clear, but are you hearin' what you say? Your lips keep movin', talkin' as you walk But everybody knows you're not walkin' what you talk I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind) [scatting] I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes) I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |

I've looked everywhere, and I never really found
Somebody like you who was wholesome and sound Where both of us knew we could see with closed eyes Where neither of us had the need to tell each other lies Nothing really mattered much as long as we're together We can change with the seasons, no matter what the weather Where we could be in harmony, together every day Knowing when we're young and old that we could always say... I'll always want you by my side To give you what you've been denied I need you to know I want you I can feel you I can see you I will let you Touch me I can hear you When you call me When you say you Love me Work days, holidays, every day's a good day Everything the way we know it's gotta be Accepting you without the need to change the way you are Alone, together, checking out the stars Knowing we could leave, but neither of us ever would Both of us together through the sad and the good Totally devoted as lovers and friends And suddenly we realise that love never ends I'll always want you by my side To give you what you've been denied I need you to know I want you I can feel you I can see you I will let you Touch me I can hear you When you call me When you say you Love me I can feel you I can see you I will let you Touch me I can hear you When you call me When you say you Love me I can feel you I can see you I will let you Touch me (for all my life) I can hear you When you call me When you say you Love me (I can feel you) I can feel you (I can see you) I can see you I will let you Touch me I can hear you When you call me |

Has anybody ever been to Lebanon?
Does anybody really care to go, at all? Anybody want to go to Lebanon Where you can read the writings on the wall? Do the caravans still ride across the sand Or is the season causing everything sacred to fall? Do the sages sing their chant throughout the land Or has their song been silenced over the centuries, to all? Does the sun still kiss the earth in Lebanon? Does the moonlight still reflect the sand at night? Can a prophet still come out of Lebanon Or has the thirst for profit changed the times? Do Phoenecian spirits dance across the sand? Do the cedar trees still standing next to the ocean still grow? Do the sages sing their chant throughout the land Or has their song been silenced? Does the temple still exist in Lebanon Or have the winds of time been blowing hard, for all? Does the mosque still sing the hymn of Lebanon Reciting old inscriptions from the wall? Do the caravans now crawl across the sand And is the season causing everyone sacred to cry? Can the people of the land still hear the call Or has the song been silenced over the centuries, to all? |
