Crazy preachers of our doom
Telling us there is no room Not enough for all mankind And the seas of time are all running dry Don't they know it's a lie... Man is born with the will to survive, He'll not take no for an answer He will get by, somehow he'll try, He won't take no, never let go, no... I hear them talk about Kingdom Come, I hear them discuss Armageddon... They say the hour is getting late, But I can still hear someone say, That is not the way... Man is born with the will to survive, He'll not take no for an answer. He will get by, somehow he'll try, He won't take no, never let go, no... |

See the lights out on the water
Come and go, to and from In the time it takes to find them You can live, you can die And nothing stops the river as it goes by Nothing stops the river as it goes All alone and all together Every day, come what may By the time we find each other We can live, we can die And nothing stops the river as it flows by Nothing stops the river as it goes |

Sleepless nights, restless days
Memories of her gentle ways Love locked out looks for a home A place to find a shelter from the storm She said you are the air I breathe The life I love, the dream I weave Without a word, with just a touch Now I realize you meant so much Been awake so long I feel like I belong With the rain Morning light appears The feelings of the night Remain Somewhere in between The waking and the dream Feel you close to me |

Out of the mist rising
Ten thousand navajo braves Shining like golden eagles in flight Climbing high on the plains Born of the Earth set free To run away with the sun So free to sing in tune with the world Gladly dance for the rain So many moons have flown Now all your ghosts dance the long shadows War cries that died on your lips Echo above the plains |

Wake-up,
Wake-up, wake-up Signs tell the time you're wasting. Wake up wake-up, wake-up Life you will find is changing. O the city life, endless confusion. Hanging on too tight, to this illusion... I'm not what I appear to be. I couldn't take the honesty, It seemed to be... too easy for reality. O the city life, what have I come to? Faces in the night, friendly to fool you. I always try to justify, the way I am and wonder why I couldn't be... the same to you I am to me. |

Nude's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The postman muttered something about wishing he could go too and handed over a yellow envelope.

So I'll take this vow of Loyalty. Fight for the right, You have said, To be free. When this time has run its course, I must... Live without remorse.

It was the very edge of summer
the air was thin the sky more pale Dusty roads I remember Oh so well... The winds of future blew around us The owners came to tell their tale, feelin' like a piece of paper in a gale. Go West, go West. where there's fruit in every place a smile on every face... Go West, go West... Where there's work (so I'm told) California's never cold, so Go West... We sold part' our lives for 18 dollars... Bought a Hudson Super-6 Travelled on down the highway with no rest... Childhood memories behind us Grown-up feelings lie ahead, Asked my Dad why we're going and he said... Go West, Go West Where there's fruit in every place a smile on every face... Go West, Go West... Where there's work (so I'm told) California's never cold... so, Go West... |

You've made your decision to leave
there's no turning 'round. Now that you've got a reprieve, you must stand your ground. Some of the others are weak, so you must be strong $155 won't last very long... Ma, will we make out, do you think that this old car will last? Pa, is there some doubt, if our bad luck will stay in the past? Well I'm hoping it's so, but you can't really know til the end. They tell me that all things must change but they begin again. Listen to the motor and the road and how does it feel? Listen with your ears and your hands on the steering wheel. Ma, will we make out, do you think that this old car will last? Pa, is there some doubt, if our bad luck will stay in the past? Listen now boys, what your ma has told you there is no way we can tell... We've got to face this road together and have some faith in ourselves. Ma, will we make out, do you think that this old car will last? Pa, is there some doubt, if our bad luck will stay in the past? Ma, Will we make out...? |

Well I'm walking this lonely street
but I'm far from bein' alone 'Cause everyone I meet, has nowhere to call home. So they move on from day to day, just to stand in a line. Well my mother she comes to me and begs me not to fight. For the sake of the family, I have to stay out of sight. So I move on from day to day, just to stand in a line. On the road again for a job I never find. People talking... as if we're not their kind. I got a handbill, says there's work up here. Left my homeland... and paid a price too dear. I've come to the end of the line there's too many men, despair in their faces... Each one of us hoping to find a life, a home, a dream... within the line. I ain't helpless -- I just need a hand. These are hard times, for every kind of man. I've come to the end of the line there's too many men, despair in their faces. Each one of us hoping to find a life, a home, a dream a place to be. (repeat) |

Listen very carefully, my words are about to unfold
Concerning a lady I've seen but I never could hold I can see by your smile, Take a long while, The words that come through, I see that they're true, For she reminds me of you. Don't misunderstand me, it's not always easy to say The words in your head and your heart that you just can't explain I can see clearly, A face in the sky, Moon's in your eye, You're passing me by. Tell me the reason why. I can see clearly, A face in the sky, Moon's in your eye, You're passing me by. Saw you riding on a moon cloud, Saw you walking on a whirlpool, From the corner of my eye, I saw you. Saw you sitting on a sunbeam, In the middle of my daydream, Oh my Lady Fantasy, I love you. |
