Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there Many stories told me of the way to get there So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry I listen to the robin's song saying not to worry So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout Then I found myself alone, hopin' someone would miss me Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit ya But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now? Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up a good book now |

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt. She must be hurt very badly. Tell me what's making you sad, Li? Open your door, don't hide in the dark. You're lost in the dark, you can trust me. 'Cause you know that's how it must be. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain Upon the pain getting deeper. Though my love wants to relieve her. She walks alone from wall to wall. Lost in her hall, she can't hear me. Though I know she likes to be near me. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. She sits in a corner by the door. There must be more I can tell her. If she really wants me to help her. I'll do what I can to show her the way. And maybe one day I will free her. Though I know no one can see her. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. |

And every time I do, I keep seeing this picture of you. Here's comes my baby, here she comes now, And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here's comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. You never walk alone, and you're forever talking on the phone. I've tried to call you names, but every time it comes out the same. Here's comes my baby, here she comes now, And it comes as no surprise to me, with another guy. Here's comes my baby, here she comes now, Walking with a love, with a love that's all so fine, Never could be mine, no matter how I try. I'm still waiting for your heart, cuz I'm sure that some day it's gonna start. You'll be mine to hold each day, but 'til then this is all that I can say.

Sadly droopin' it's perfumed head So you won't smell it, I know what you'll miss And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird, A hummingbird, a hummingbird, Oh there's a hummingbird singing. There is the hat you made, the clothes you wore Lying down on the cold, dirty floor. The colors are fading, they'll never shine again. And there's a hummingbird, a hummingbird, A hummingbird, a hummingbird, Oh there's a hummingbird singing. Now the road is turning gray, There's a shadow where you once lay.

you know, the things that I saw made me cry I saw the pictures and letters, I should have known better than to try to deny I love them all I love them all and if they came again I'd do the same again 'cause I'm that kind of a guy And as I walked through the park where we used to play you know, the bench and the tree are still there And the pictures that you did, why am I so stupid? They wont ever disappear I love them all I love them all and if they came again I'd do the same again 'cause I'm that kind of a guy |

Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane
And that once I was a famous archaeologist named In a recent expedition in a distant land. I just happened to be passing my hand in the sand And then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked. I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone, Then the mist started, started to clear. I saw a face, a face in the moonstone, And then it started to disappear Well, I walked and walked and never talked For many days, And without a friend a desert is a lonely place. I was just about to turn around and make way home When something told me that I had to see it again. And then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked. I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone, Then the mist started, started to clear. I saw a face, a face in the moonstone, And then it started to disappear. A vu ray, a vu ray. A vu ray. I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone Then the mist started, started to clear I saw a face, a face in the moonstone And then it started to disappear, And then it started to disappear, And then it started to disappear. |

an apple tree, Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree and the man who owned it wanted it to be picked so he sent forth to hire me Well, I've travelled the mountains, and I've travelled the sea but a never in my travelling days have I ever seen a little apple smile at me! Laugh, oh laugh a little apple Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful, For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown so laugh, laugh a little apple Well all the apples were hidin' Frightened that they might be plucked and everytime that somebody passed all except that one little apple ducked Well, I've travelled the mountains, and i've travelled the sea but a never in my travelling days have I ever seen a little apple smile at me! Laugh, oh laugh a little apple Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful, For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown so laugh, laugh a little apple |

Maybe she sits alone beyond the storm across the raging torrent of the sea she knows I want her and she knows I'll always be... How can I live without the love I cannot see Oh where are you? where are you ? where are you? oooooooohhhh I know there's someone there I hear her breathe behind the silence of the dark but I know that I wont see 'til we open up our eyes together She'll look at me What a moment that moment will be! And she looks so light I could fly her through the night oooh I know I think a lot but somehow it just doesn't help it only goes to show that what you never miss you never know but I have loved you from the moment that we knew oh, I love you I love you but where are you? |

Come the morning Ill be far from here
Slowly rising in another sphere Old world goodbye cause I'll be Home in the sky in the morning bye bye Stars are crying over my old house But Im still breathing happy above the clouds Home Home at last because All of the bad times are past Music is a lady that I still love Cause she gives me the air that I breathe Music is a lady that I still need Cause she brings me the food that I eat Come the morning Ill be far from here Slowly rising in another sphere Home, world goodbye Cause Ill be home in the sky in the morning ByeBye |

They used to call him Jesus
Long time ago They're still calling him Jesus Don't you know They crossed the wood and hanged him A long time ago They still misunderstand him Those who don't know And in the evening his love will lead the blind In every secret corner there in your mind They called him Gautama Buddha Oh long time ago He turned the world to order Don't you know He used to sit knowing Oh long time ago Where you and me were going And in the evening his love will lead the blind |

He was the king of trees
keeper of the leaves, A deep green guard of young love-stained memory, We used to meet by him far from the hustling town I loved you, Now they've come to cut you down...down He was the guardian of days we held the same, Beneath the shade he gave shelter fromthe rain, Oh Lord how it's empty now with nothing save the breeze I loved you, Now they've come to burn the leaves Don't burn the leaves And if my mind breaks up in all so many ways, I know the meaning of the words "I love you", And if my body falls inside an early grave, The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back, So slowly as I roll down the track The forest and the evergreen are coming to take me back, The forest and the evergreen are coming to take me back, Please take me back! He was the king of trees Keeper of the glades, The way he lightened my life makes me so amazed, We used to meet by him many years ago I loved you, Now they've to lay the road-oh-oh, Oh! Don't lay the road |

hoping everything was going to work itself out A good honest man doing the work of God Trying to make things better for Him A lover of life in a school for fools Trying to find another way to survive New Music, Music, New Music Sweet Music can lighten us Can brighten the world, can save us My friend said well, I think I found a way To help make myself richer I said dont you know , well, it wont be too long before The bad ol devil will get you back Back.. I said put back your heart and sing , sing while you know youre still living Sing, sing, sing , while you know theres still Chorus Take a look at the world Think about how it will end There'd be no wars in the world If everybody joined the band Think about the light in your eyes Think about what you should know Thered be no wars in the world If everybody joined in the show Oh Oh Think about the light in your eyes Think about what you should know Thered be no wars in the world If everybody joined in the show In the show Chorus |

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while And though your dreams may toss and turn you now They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans Denim Blue fading up to the sky And though you want him to last forever You know he never will (You know he never will ) And the patches make the goodbye harder still Oh very young What will you leave us this time Therell never be a better chance to change your mind And if you want this world to see a better day Will you carry the words of love with you Will you ride the great white bird into heaven And though you want to last forever You know you never will (You know you never will ) And the goodbye makes the journey harder still Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while Oh very young What will you leave us this time |

They brang us up with hornns and hollywooden songs
Dead snakes and poisoned wisdoms between our teeth The evil that's been done sitll is carrying on And on this night there'll be no peace The old leaders' bones still beat on our homes They built our life before us, we had no choice The evil that's been done still is carring on And when they're done we will be the voice Blue bird on a rock, slow wind blowing soft Across the bare face of the sleeping lake Rise up and be free, voice whispered to me And in this way you will awake Go climb up a hill, stand perfectly still And silently soak up the day Don't rush and don't you roam, don't feel so alone And in this way you will awake And in this way you will awake And this way you will awake Pick up the pieces you see before you Don't let your weaknesses destroy you You know wherever you go the world will follow So let your reasons be true to you Stay close to your friends up until the end And when they know that you feel the same way Rise up and be free and die happily And in this way you will awake And in this way you will awake And this way you will awake |

In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly with a hope burning out deep inside I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt I'm alone and there is no one by my side In the blackness of the night I see a shadow passing by from the heels of an old soldier boy. There's no comprimising and his eyes are black as the sky For this bad, bad world he is going to die. He's alone and there is no one by his side In the blackness of the night I see a sparkle of a star from the sweet silver tear of a child and she's clutching at a photograph of long, long ago When her parents were happy she was too young to know she's alone and there is no one by her side I'm alone and there is no one by my side In the blackness of the night I seem to wander endlessly with a hope burning out deep inside I'm a fugitive, community has driven me out For this bad, bad world I'm beginning to doubt I'm alone, and there is no one by my side |

I work in the mornin', I work in the night the men on the block, they just laugh at me I work in the mornin', I work in the night the men on the block, they just laugh at me But when they're wiping their silver spoons palming the men for some bread, I'll be laughing Way, way out of my head! When my little kitty gets out, there's gonna be a party, a party no doubt When my little kitty gets out there's gonna be a party And if my mind isn't coming so fast the men on the block say I'm on the brink And if my mind isn't coming so fast and I aint so dumb as some people think 'Cause when they're wiping their silver spoons palming the men for some bread I'll be laughing, way way out of my head |

Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane and that once I was a famous archaeologist {named} {who ran} a recent expedition in a distant land I just happened to passin' my hand in the sand and then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone then the mist started, started to clear I saw a face, a face in the moonstone then it started to disappear well, I walked and walked and never talked for many days and without a friend the desert is a lonely place I was just about to turn around and make way home when something told me that i had to see it again Avuray....etc. |

The view from the top can be oh so very lonely And you can be missing such a lot that could be yours Why can't i stop forgetting myself? Why am i always trying to be like somebody else Why can't i love you? Why bother flying high above you I know where you are The view from the top can be oh so very lonely And you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours And who's going to miss me? There'll only be myself to blame You know i'd love to hold you tight And love you all the night But i don't even know ...my name La la la da la .... Why can't i stop forgetting myself? Why am i always trying to be like somebody else? Why can't i love you? Why bother flying high above you I know where you are The view from the top can be oh so very lonely And you can be missin' such a lot that could be yours |

I know I think a lot but somehow it just doesn't help it only makes it worse The more I think The more I know the more it hurts With only solitude to meet me like a friend oh, where are you? where are you ? where are you? Maybe she sits alone beyond the storm across the raging torrent of the sea she knows I want her and she knows I'll always be... How can I live without the love I cannot see Oh where are you? where are you ? where are you? oooooooohhhh I know there's someone there I hear her breathe behind the silence of the dark but I know that I wont see 'til we open up our eyes together She'll look at me What a moment that moment will be! And she looks so light I could fly her through the night oooh I know I think a lot but somehow it just doesn't help it only goes to show that what you never miss you never know but I have loved you from the moment that we knew oh, I love you I love you but where are you? |
