I'm a soldier on the field
Fighting for you, fighting for me
You can see it on our faces
Like the bullets leave traces
You can feel it for real

You can't imagine the pain of my baby so far away
So far from my home...

When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh shed some grace!
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again

I'm a soldier on the field
Waiting to die, praying to live
To survive one more day
But my hope begins to fray
It's my flesh against the steel

You'll never know what I've known
You'll never see what I've seen
I hope we make it home...

When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?

Oh, when they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again

So far from home
She cries, politics aside
What I'd give to have him here tonight

When they comin' home?
When they leavin' that place?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh shed some grace!
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?

Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh, Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
Put your peace in the valley tonight
Bring the soldier home alright
When they coming' home?

Oh, children playing in the sun?
To see their lovers face again
Kid will see his daddy's face again
When they comin' home?

Oh, Mama braidin' your sweet hair, home
When they coming' home?

On a crystal clear blue morning
There is a peace that only you can know
It is truth and love and it is always there
Even if you fall down
Even if you fall down
Love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Think of gentle Jesus
Think of the buddha underneath his tree
They taught the world about love
and how we all can be
How we can all be free
Open our hearts and see
Love shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, love shines
Like an eternal sun, it shines
Oh, it shines
Like an eternal sun, love shines
It shines
Like a revolution in your mind
Like a revolution in your mind
Like a revolution in your mind

Love shines

My ammunition won't load into my gun
My inhibitions, they fall like the weight from a stone
You lead my heart away like a homeless, dusted fool
Somehow this dimestore ring still shines like a diamond to you

Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens

Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery

Thought I knew the rules
Thought I held it in my hands
Thought I was bulletproof 'til the blood pooled up in the sand
Are you a satellite? A shooting star or a dove?
Did we put you way up there or did God send you down from above?

Oh, how it deepens
Oh, how it deepens

Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on
Your mystery
Burns me up like the sun
Your mystery

Mine eyes have seen the glory of a love that does transcend
Mine eyes have seen the worst inside of man
And the fear is like a fallen bridge
A broken promise
And the proof is in the bloodshot eyes of the one who failed to see

Your mystery
Keeps on turnin' me on!

(Heaven is one so why believe when you can see it for yourself)

This love has taken a turn
My maps are no good now
I'm lost in these woods
I say, Black Mountain show me your face
Bring on the oblivion of your sweet embrace
I say, this love has taken a turn
Where we go now, I can't wait to learn

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free

You are my diamond of grace
Angelic little devil of the most secret space
I say, there ain't no one quite like you, girl
You save your nectar for the wise
While you smile at the world
I say, you make me laugh at myself
You take me straight to Heaven
By going straight through Hell

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
Free, yeah

If you want to walk with me
Then leave that false innocense behind
If you want to know me tonight
Then drag me to the river and hold me tight
If you want to love like a god
You got to bleed like a god
You got to fight like a god
Let go of who you are
Cling to me now
Cling to me now
Here we go
Here we go, yeah

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
I'll show you free tonight

Show a little love to me
Show a little love to me
Darlin', I'll show you free
Yeah, I'll show you free
Show a little love to me

Show a little love
Show a little love to me

Diamonds and pearls don't move this girl
She can be icy cold to the crawl
One of her lungs breathes in another world
While the other sticks around to blow you off
Even when the four winds blow
She kinda passes by like she don't feel it
No, momma, she don't feel it
One of these days
I'm gonna dive into her waves
And bring back the meaning of it all
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
They say in ancient times, man,
that women ruled the world
But the goddess was the one who laid it down
Well, I gots a woman as alive as the day
Gonna breathe a whisper,
knock you right down to the ground
So go ahead man and say what you came to say
The black widow's a spider
The black widow's a spider
Then go and prepare for your dyin' day
Won't take one minute till
you're curled up dead beside her
Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
On me like rain
Fall down
Fall down
Fall down

Sofia, I need ya
Like a junkie needs a vein
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, I need ya
Like a freeloader needs his train
And I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain
Sofia, rain down on me
And I ain't ever
I'll never be the same, baby
I wanna feel ya, Sofia
Fallin' down on me like rain

It came without warning
A love like I ain't never felt before
She's like my destiny calling
And she's lying there all naked on the floor

And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...

Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain tonight

She came without warning
like an angel come from heaven in the night (in the night)
the kiss makes me tremble
so she pulls me close and holds me oh so tight.

And suddenly, out of the blue she's singin'...

Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life

Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain

I give you life
(ooohhh)
I'll give you life, baby
(oooh)
I'll give you love

Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain
Oh babe, let my lovin' ease your pain
Bring your burning skin to my river once again
I'll give you life
Oh baby, let my lovin' ease your pain

I wanted a mountain, you gave me a sea
I wanted a hurricane, you gave me a breeze
I wanted to run, made me stand there and breathe
I wanted to dream, you made me sleep
I wanted to touch the bottom, but it was too deep
I wanted a revolution, you said I was already free
Oh, yeah
Where do we go from here?
Now the day is gone
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here?
Now the night has come
I wanted to touch your mind and your heart
I wanted to find a new place to start
I wanted to kiss your every part
Oh, yeah
So baby, don't leave me now as you turn to the flag
They get shot through the holes, but you're still alive
Like you're too close to death to ever really die
Oh, yeah
Where do we go from here?
Now the day is gone
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here?
Now the night has come
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts?
Nothing
Why won't you listen to me?
I never meant you no harm
I only wanted to be free
All I want is to be free

Where do we go from here?
Now the day is gone
How do we face our fears
With nothing in our hearts, baby?
Where do we go from here?
Now the night has come
How do we face our fears?
Oh, yeah
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?

The way I'm on your mind, like a ball and chain
Like a destiny to run from
Division in your soul (in your soul), keepin' you from whole
I can bare to see you crying

The wing that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home

Sometimes you've got to die to be born again
Sometimes you've got to fight
Sometimes you've got to learn
Sometimes you've got to burn
The old brush out so the new can grow

The wing that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home
Yeah, come on

Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings (oh)
Could be the wings (carry you home)

Like to long, lost friend?
Like to love, lost friend?
Like it too long, lost friend?

The wing that lays on your shoulders
Could be the wings that carry you home (carry you home)
Come on, come on

Could be the wings
Could be the wings (lord above)
Could be the wings (oh yeah)
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)
Could be the wings
Could be the wings (carry you home)

So many people die every day
Who lived every night without hope
Spending their time just standing in line
Tugging on societys coats

So many people live every day
Like they never gonna get old
Doing their time like ?
?

Oooh, oooh, you are not alone
Oooh, oooh, you are not alone

So many people keeping the pace
Just the other side of grace
Faking their smiles, just ranking the file
Wild cheetahs put in a cage, oh baby now

So many people can't see the signs
Even though their eyes are just fine

Oooh, oooh, you are not alone

I was lost, I am found
All the buildings are burnt to the ground
I can't stay, I can't leave
I can't do nothin', not a thing
Do you see your son down on the street?
Is that a gun or just the father that he needs?
Do you cry, do you weep?
Do you see the world as only tragedy?

In the early mornin' there were revelations in my mind
I can hear the masters cryin' out from their graves most every night
Bring the people together
Bring the people together

It's a crime, this dark time
We wait for presidents that never turn the tide
I find it hard, I find it strange
Go to the movies, have Picasso paint your cage
I've had enough, I think I'm done
So sell me down the river, I'll be waiting there in love

In the early mornin' there were revelations in my mind
I can hear the masters cryin' out from their graves most every night
Bring the people together
Bring the people together yeah
Bring the people together
Bring the people together yeah

Bring the people together
For the sake of these children we leave behind
Can you remember a time?

I was lost, I am found
All the buildings are burnt to the ground
I can't stay, I can't leave
I can't do nothin', not a thing
Tell me, is this a nation?
Is this a tribe?
Is this the world or just some everyday beehive?
We need now, yeah, we need it quick
Listen to lovers, better quit it with this shit

In the early mornin' there were revelations in my mind
I can hear the masters cryin' out from their graves most every night
Bring the people together

I was looking everywhere to find you
By and by, my intentions were good
But I know I don't watch where I'm walking
When I know I should
If the nighttime turns into day before I say what I mean
God damn all these obstacles before me, yeah

Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes

If the quicksand of love and deception
Finds a way to come between you and me
Don't fret, I'm gonna cut through the darkness and set us free, yeah
And if you wanna just lay with me darlin, let the mystery silently speak
Take my tongue, take my lungs if you want, I'll even try not to breathe, yeah

Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes I just close my eyes
Every time I see your face

I know you are the one (I was looking everywhere to find you)
I know you're more than wonderful
I know you are the one

Every time I see your face, it's like Heaven opens up her gates
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
Every time I see your face, something overwhelms my heart with grace
And I fall behind, I just close my eyes, I just close my eyes
Yeah, oh, oh, yeah
Every time
I see your face
Every time
Every time

You don't need no friends
Get back your faith again
You have the power to believe
Another dissident
Take back your evidence
It has no power to deceive

I'll believe it when I see it for myself

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive

I sit with them all night
Everything they say is right
But in the morning they were wrong
I'll be right by your side
Come hell or water high
Down any road you choose to roam

I'll believe it when I see it for myself

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive, yeah

Darling, I believe, Oh Lord
Sometimes it's hard to breathe, Lord
At the bottom of the sea, yeah, yeah

I'll believe it when I see it for myself

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset and I perceive

I don't need no one to tell me about heaven
I look at my daughter, and I believe
I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sunset

I don't need no one
I don't need no one
To tell me about heaven
I believe
I believe it, yeah

In the country
the farms and the orchards swell
with oranges and peaches
a little bit of truth as well

In the city
polititians beat their drum
all the suits come runnin
it's all denegeration

Life marches on
life marches on
life marches on

In the country
everybody thinks we're dumb
but we've built the fire
why'd you come and get you some?

In the city
skycrapers touch the sky
what's the use of being so high up
when it's only going to bleed you dry

Life marches on,
life marches on
life marches on

In the country
stars shine brighter than in the city
in the country
in the country

In the city
I turn on the radio
only leave me down with the question
what happened to our generation

Life marches on (7)

The lighthouse lost it's light on her a long time ago
She got so used to it, this long and winding road
I'll never ever let you go

I can't believe
She whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe

This ship of fools sails west by nighttime and by day
Circumnavigates her globe like a bullet gone astray
Come on home baby, where it's safe

I can't believe
She whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna breathe

Even if you drink from the chalice of cheap escape and fade away
I'll never ever let you go

I can't believe
She whispered to me
I don't wanna breathe
I don't wanna breathe

She whispered to me

Now I can't believe

She whispered to me

Oh no no no....

Darling, I fell like a god
when I am next to you
something sacred
someone straight and true
Tell me
do you feel the same way too
Darling, your face is radiant
with the light of love
the kind that's sent straight down
from up above
and you're all I'm thinking of
thinking of
thinking of
thinking of

Don't you give me lovin like a revelation
Don't you make me burn
and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
godess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't you ever leave

Darling, I feel like a god when I am next to you
something worth the worship
of this honest fool
tell me do you feel the same way too
like I do,
like I do,
like I do

Don't you give me lovin
like a revelation
Don't you make me burn
and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
godess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't you ever
Don't you give me lovin
like a revelation
Don't you make me burn
and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
godess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't leave
don't leave

Don't you give me lovin
like a revelation
Don't you make me burn
and make me feel the danger
Salutations to the maker of my finest hour
godess, queen, mother, sister, lover
Don't you ever
Don't you give me lovin like a revelation
don't you give me love
don't you give me love
don't you give me love
don't you feel the same way like I do
like I do
like I do
like I do

The dust had just settled
She's wonderin', What happens now?
I don't know where I am
I ain't never seen this place before

Am I dreamin'
Or is this the real world?
Your love's too good for me

Lay with me lady
You're drivin' me crazy
I promised you all my life
These things that sustain me
Oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry

The sun had just faded
She's wonderin', Where are we now?
I don't know who, who I am
I ain't never felt like this before

Am I dreamin'
Or is this the real world?
Your love's too good for me

Lay with me lady
You're drivin' me crazy
I promised you all my life
These things that sustain me
Oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry

I'll never hang you, Lord
I'll never hang you, Lord
I'll never hang you, Lord
I'll never hang you, Lord

I promised you all my life
These things that sustain me
Oh how they drain me
But I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang you out to dry
I'll never hang oyu out to dry

And from a tiny river town you came
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow, and daddy's brains
But the rats they fought you oh yeah tooth and nail
With the way they rigged this game, you had to fail
But that's all behind you now, boy

And from a tiny river town you came
With nothing up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace
They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will
You were the soldier without a kill
You were the soldier without a kill

Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?

And from a tiny river town you came
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days
But paradise took you out and left the bill
You were the healer without the thrill
You were the ecstasy without the pill

Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
Who's gonna light up your dark?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna be there?
Who's gonna light up your dark?

And from a tiny river town you came
With mamma's rock-star dreams in tow and daddy's brains
You'd better turn back before the frost sets in
These desert nights are for weathered men
The ones who've already given in

Oh, who's gonna save your soul?
Who's gonna make your heart beat again?
Who's gonna save your soul?
Now that you've given in
Now that you've given in
Now that you've given in

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend," she said
And you can hear it in my whispered cries for love
I need your blissful touch to carry me away again
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...

Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory, but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

"Looks like I've lost my will to carry on, my friend," she said
I'm like a posse that's been ridin' for days
I've got the scars to prove that love has had its day and it's way with me
So can we roll tonight, roll through your desert, can we start over and just...

Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right

This ain't no night to be on your own
You've got to know where you're coming from
To know just where you're goin', lord
You've got to know where you're coming from
This ain't no night to be on your own

Run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care, I don't care if its wrong or right
We can just run away, run away tonight
It aint no victory but I don't care
I don't care I don't care I don't care I don't care
Run away
Run away
Run away

Bring back that 'hair-down', unguarded mystery
I liked it better when your tightrope walked on me
Board up my window, prepare for a hurricane
You have a way of breaking through my barricade
You give me all-new games to play

You set me soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you

Was my intention to take control again?
Somehow you got me on the ropes of my own plan
To turn up the volume and make you dance for me
Release some pressure so that I can turn and see
Spirit manifests as 'She'

You set me soul free (you set my soul free)
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you

Like a flower
I can see but I can't feel
Oh yeah
And nothing that you do could ever make me run, run away from you
I never knew, I never knew she could
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
Now every word that she speaks to me is pure gold
She set my soul free (she set my soul free)
She give me love, give me hope, give me strength to bear my faults for you

I hope (I hope) she lights that candle
I hope (I hope) she shows me everything and all that light can bring
Her skin (her skin), it begs my worship
Like a mad temple crowd
I crush her, she goes down
We melt up from the ground...
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now, yeah

Doubt (doubt), get right behind me
You're a cloud, just a blemish on the sun
And there's better times to come
Our love, this cloak and dagger
This silent will to brighten everything
And find the road that leads...
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now, yeah, oh

Oh, and if we die tonight, take our leave from this plastic place
Become the dove, just fly away...
Up to better times, sweet release, take me now, take me now
Come on baby up to your better times
Your sweet release, take me now, take me now, oh
Oohh oooh
Oh.

Paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa
Ride a Harley through the heart of danger
Pick up a pen and fight a war for the right to dream
I was seventeen

Give up my house, sleep for nights on concrete
Meditate with all the bums on Vine Street
No more running, no more hiding in the house of the dead
I think I'll grow some dreads

I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me

I dream of loving, of the empty graveyard
I dream of Vegas and the transcendental wildcard
A place where noone waits to die before they go into the light
And just the blind have sight

I follow nothing but the compass of my instinct
No matter where it leads, I know it will take me to the brink
And leave me there by myself and all alone with my dreams
Can you hear my scream?

I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Ooh ooh ooh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Oh-oh
I believe in the sanctity of dreams
No more running from these masqueraders
I believe that society will never dream like me
Never dream like me
Society
Society will never dream like me
Society
Society
Society will never dream like me

Battle flag in the bassinette
Oil and blood on the bayonet
Crowded downtown hit the floor
What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?

The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Ain't no game so forget the score
What are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?

What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow
a faceless generation devoid of love?

The crucifix ain't no baseball bat
Tell me what kind of God is that?
Ain't nothing more godless than a war
So what are we fightin' for?

What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?
What are we fightin' for?

What will I tell my daughter?
What will you tell your son?
Where were all the doves?
That we were nothing but a shadow
A faceless generation?

What are we fightin' for?

even now
the world is bleedin'
but feelin' just fine
all numb in our castle
where we're always free to choose
never free enough to find
I wish somethin' would break
cuz we're runnin' out of time

and I am overcome (yeah)
I am overcome
holy water in my lungs
I am overcome

these women in the street pullin' out their hair
my master's in the yard
givin' light to the unaware
this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stairs

and I am overcome (yeah)
I am overcome (baby)
holy water in my lungs (yeah)
I am overcome

so drive me out
out to that open field
turn the ignition off
and spin around
your help is here
but I'm parked in this open space
blockin' the gates of love

and I am overcome (yeah)
I am overcome (baby)
holy water in my lungs (yeah)
I am overcome (yeah, yeah)

I am overcome (oh Lord)
I am overcome (baby)
holy water in my lungs (holy water, holy water)
I am overcome

beautiful drowning
this beautiful drowning
this holy water
this holy water is in my lungs

and I am overcome
I am overcome (yeah, yeah)
I... I... I am overcome
I am overcome

even now
the world is bleedin'
but feelin' just fine
all numb in our castle
where we're always free to choose
never free enough to find
