Heart and soul took control
Took control of me Paid my dues spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down turned me round Turned me round to see Marble halls open doors Someone found the key And it's only what you do That keeps a-coming back on you And it's only what you say That can give yourself away Underground sight and sound Human symphony Heard the voice had no choice Needed to be free Fly me high touch the sky Left the earth below Heard the line saw the sign Knew which way to go Cos it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world Heart and soul took control Took control of me Paid my dues spread the news Hands across the sea Put me down turned me round Turned me round to see Marble halls open doors Someone found the key Cos it's easier to try Than to prove it can't be done And it's easier to stay Than to turn around and run It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a blue world It takes somebody to help somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a new world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world It's a blue world It needs somebody to love somebody Oh it's a blue world |

Never dreamt I would hope
While I count the miles Through the wind and the rain I can see your smile There ain't no turning back I can see it in the distance Got it in my sight Like a vision like a face Coming out of the sky You were there not a dream You were there in my eyes There ain't no turning back I can see it in the distance Touch it through the night Driving into the light When I'm on my own When I'm all alone Won't you meet me halfway Won't you meet me halfway Is it a dream? Is it a dream coming true? Meet me halfway Like a vision like a face Coming out of the sky You were there not a dream You were there in my eyes There are no words to say I can see you in the distance Hear you through the night Ain't no easy way When you're on your own When you're all alone Won't you meet me halfway Won't you meet me halfway Is it a dream? Is it a dream coming true? Meet me halfway |

I can hear the music playing I can hear the word that you're saying I can see the lovelife in your eyes What's the use in looking for an answer I might find out It could be a disaster Hold on to your own time Don't let go Don't let go I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll, roll on by, by, by Sitting at the wheel Don't let the river run dry I can see your face on a piece of tomorrow I'll hang my dream on a road I can follow I gotta touch the warmth of your love (need the warmth of your love, not gonna) Not gonna take a chance a Change of direction Gonna keep on rolling till I find the connection Hold on to your lifeline Don't let go Don't let go I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll, roll on by, by, by Sitting at the wheel Don't let the river run dry I'm sitting at I'm sitting at the wheel Like a voyeur standing at the edge of time Looking for a reason That's got no rhyme Love took a corner Shot off for a mile I'm sitting at the wheel Rock on, . . . Rocker I can feel the music playing (Hold on) I can hear the word that you're saying (Hold on) I can see the lovelife in your eyes Ain't no use in looking for an answer (Hold on) I might find out That it could be a disaster (Hold on) Hold on to your own time Don't let go Don't let go I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll, roll on by, by, by Sitting at the wheel Don't let the river run dry I'm sitting at I'm sitting at the wheel I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll, roll on by, by, by Sitting at the wheel Don't let the river run dry (Oh) I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll, rock and roll on by Sitting at the wheel (sitting, sitting, sitting) I'm just sitting I'm sitting at the wheel I'm sitting at the wheel Watching the river roll by Rock and roll by Sitting at the wheel I'm just sitting Sitting at the wheel If you're sitting at the wheel Watch this rocker roll by |

Once more I've loved I've laughed and I've lost
Now I'm alone left counting the cost Once more sweet child of middling years Basted again in bitter-sweet tears I will survive the solitude But come alive Although the new Somebody tell me you love me Somebody tell me you care I've got a heart full of giving Going nowhere (going nowhere) Daylight will come and steal the night sights Starlight on black replaced with gray light Now I must go and set my best pace Running all day in the human race But now I know the good news Before you win you have to lose Somebody tell me you love me Somebody tell me you care I've got a heart full of giving Going nowhere going nowhere How much longer must I travel on Looking for someone to help me sing my song How much longer will it be I need to find someone For the love From me Somebody tell me you love me Somebody tell me you care I've got a heart full of giving Going nowhere (going nowhere) |

It's a hard life
Never let yourself get down You may never get back You may never ever turn it round You may say it took you by surprise Never ending Never changing I didn't see through your disguise It took my breath away Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet Gave way Did you ever want to take a chance Never thought the time would come round Quite so fast Would you walk right thro' that wall And keep on walking till you Couldn't stand on your feet no more But you came and took me by surprise When you stole up on me I didn't see thro' your disguise It took my breath away Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet - gave way Where were you When I needed you Where were you When I needed you Where were you Where were you - I'm holding on Under my feet The earth shook Under my feet The earth just fell away Under my feet - gave way Under my feet The earth shook Right under my feet Gave way |

The harder I try
Seems the further I fall The deeper my love seems to be And I know that I Never doubted at all That someone was waiting for me Then out of the blue It was over And how did you think I would survive Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart I never thought it could happen to me Like the one that gets you That you just don't see And now I don't want to be free I thought it was always to be That someone was waiting for me The longer the shadows Become in my life The colder the breeze seems to be The days roll on by Still I can't quite believe That someone's not waiting for me The flame of desire Is still burning The warmth of your body close to mine Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart Cos it's cold outside Yes it's cold outside of your heart It's a big world to face all alone And I'm begging you now just to come on home Cos I, I don't want to be free I thought it was always to be That someone was waiting for me You know that it's you I need You see I refuse to believe That someone's not waiting for me |

Time hurries on, look and it's gone
The changing of the autumn tide The hopes that live, the dreams that die If I could have you by my side, I'd give it all away You, you and I, we must hold on, we must try To reach beyond that far off cloud Along the road we're travellin' now If I could only show you how, I need you there with me Oh, running water, don't care what people say We live to love another day Oh, running water, don't throw your love away We live to love another day Time hurries on, turn around and it's gone If only we could hold that dream If only life was what it seemed I know my darling what you mean, I've seen it slip away Oh, running water, don't care what people say We live to love another day Oh, running water, don't throw your love away We live to love another day |

Salt water never grew roses
Seems roses can't grow in the sea A river can fashion a valley From a thousand sweet drinking streams I am I am I am the son Yes I am I am the son Yes I am the son of love I am Burn in the times when eyes could see What's written in the stars Freedom was ever And ever was never far I am (I am) |

Won't you take me back to school? I need to learn the golden rule. Won't you lay it on the line? I need to hear it just one more time. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Each and every heart it seems, Is bounded by a world of dreams. Each and every rising sun, Is greeted by a lonely one. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Cause out on the ocean of life my love. There a so many storms we must rise above. Can you hear the spirit calling, as it's carried across the waves? You're already falling it's calling you back to face the music. And the song that is coming through. You're already falling the one that it's calling is you. Make a promise take a vow. And trust your feelings it's easy now. Understand The Voice within. And feel a change already beginning. Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? Tonight? Oh, won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? And how many words have I got to say? And how many times will it be this way? With your arms around the future and your back up against the past. You're already falling it's calling you on to face the music. And the song that is coming through. You're already falling the one that it's calling is you. Each and every heart it seems, Is bounded by a world of dreams. Each and every rising sun, Is greeted by, a lonely, lonely one. Won't you tell me again? Oh, can you feel it? Oh, won't you tell me again tonight? (Repeat) From: HBailE |

In my world, it's heaven on earth when you're close to me

Just in a simple conversation
You can hear the feeling change Like a river running down Down to the sea And if you need an explanation I defy you to explain But something's not the same And it's bothering me I think we see where I went wrong I think I see what's going on Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away, my friend Into the setting sun And the rivers running down Down to the sea I let love slip right through my fingers And I watched it drift away But still I had to say What was written for me I thought I'd end up as the hero Thought the glory would be mine Very soon I was to find It wasn't to be 'Cause in this part I've got to play It doesn't quite turn out that way Meanwhile and far away As the night draws in He's holding her right now I can feel it all begin Meanwhile and far away When the day is done I ride away my friend Into the setting sun And the river's running down Down to the sea |

'Your painted smile hides you still
While you search yourself within Yesterday and tomorrow's found Fused as one upon solid ground As all around the milling crowd Confuse themselves with raging sounds And their loves forgetfulness abounds So be thankful for your greasepainted clown If lonliness wears the crown of the VETERAN COSMIC ROCKER' |

The lights go down ?the stage is set.
A man in the wings breaks out in sweat. A backstage-joker spiked his coke while The dressing room was full of smoke. A crowd of fools got him high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He steps into the remaining light ?br />The crowd go wild ?he?s outta sight. Arms held high in a sign of peace. His manager signed a one-night lease. The house is full, getting high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He struts, he strolls, His love is rock and roll. He?s the veteran cosmic rocker! He steps into the remaining light ?br />The crowd go wild ?he?s outta sight. Arms held high in a sign of peace. His manager signed a one-night lease. The crowd are full, getting high! He?s afraid he?s gonna die. He?s the apple of their eye?br />He struts, he strolls, His life is rock and roll. ?br />He?s the veteran cosmic rocker! He?s afraid that he will die! |

I took a ride in a limousine, I took a road I'd never been. I met a stranger by the way, His coat was torn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, Steppin' in a slide zone. He told me where a river flows, He showed me how the apple grows. He told me of a magic stream, His face was worn but his eyes were clear. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. He went to find a shooting star, Around the bend, that's where they are. I went along just for the ride, Suddenly I began to slide. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. The air raced by there was no sound, We drifted high above the ground. And then he said you know this place, And then a smile lit up his face. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' in a slide zone. Standing in a slide zone, I could be steppin' through a time zone. I turned my head and I looked below, Slide zone... And there was something there I know. Suddenly I began to fall, I looked around and tried to call. Standing in a slide zone, He had me steppin' in a time zone. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Help me please, I thought I said, Then something happened in my head. Music came from all around, And I knew what I had found. Standing in a slide zone, Falling through a time zone. Steppin' in a slide zone, He had me falling through a time zone. Slide zone, slide zone, Slide zone, time zone |
