from Gladiator (1994)
In every man a fear is born
He must stand within the storm And wake the faith That sleeps so deep within the heart In the darkest hour we face the past As thunder rolls across our path A sign of hope When you reach out for my hand You can always count on me Wherever you go is where I'll be Call me in your hour of need I'll carry you home 'cause I believe It never dies The spirit flies Always know You can count on me There's an open road we travel down To build the soul to bridge the clouds This day I know Our trust can never be broken You can always count on me Wherever you go is where I'll be Call me in your hour of need I'll carry you home 'cause I believe It never dies The spirit flies Always know You can count on me Now I can see where the darkness ends Now I see where the light begins In your strength another day In your eyes I see my way This day I know Our trust can never be broken You can always count on me Wherever you go is where I'll be Call me in your hour of need I'll carry you home 'cause I believe It never dies The spirit flies Always know You can count on me |

We've played the final game
Now we both remain Froze beneath your jealous sky Lord knows I fear to tread Suspicion burns out all the lights On a broken stairway Is this where our love will stay On a broken stairway We say goodbye Silence corrodes the air I guess we can't repair The cracks that run right through our lives All of the tears you fake Are abandoned here halfway Between the truth between the lies On a broken stairway Foundations rock and sway On a broken stairway We say goodbye On a broken stairway Is this where our love will stay On on broken stairway We say goodbye |

Take this main who comes to you
Take me to your side I throw away my soulless days I need you in my life In the doorway of my heart The presence of you shines So put your face to my window Trust what you see inside What are these hands for If I can't bring you fallen rain What are these eyes for If I can't see the moon Watch over you What are these arms for If I can't hold you through the night What does this heart beat for If I can't lay by your side You must know I was made for you I'll meet you by the wisdom tree And I'll hold you so close Come on out of the wilderness Let love free you from your ghosts What are these hands for If I can't bring you fallen rain What are these eyes for If I can't see the moon Watch over you What are these arms for If I can't hold you through the night What does this heart beat for If I can't lay by your side You must know I was made for you We'll walk upon the hill So high above the city And count the rooftops down below Lay on the grass Dream out loud Catch runaway trains Dance in the rain Someday you'll take my name Kneel down in the blue light Let your hair fall down around Blow out all your candles tonight And I believe you will see I was made for you What are these hands for... What are these arms for If I can't hold you through the night What does this heart beat for If I can't lay by your side You must know I was made for you |

I see my mother sit in silence
Count the minutes to closing time One more drink and he'll bring home anger Like clockwork I would hide Heavy steps Drunken threats Locked away I can feel you In my room I can hear her fight his kiss In my room I hear him bring down his fist And still at night I hear my mother cry Tongith the wait is over And he won't be pacified He'll raise his bottle just like a hammer And she will be crucified Broken cross Something lost Locked away I can feel you In my room I can hear her fight his kiss In my room I hear him bring down his fist And still at night I hear my mother cry What did she do the suffer you Her tears bleed through the walls in here And I'll stand in your way Father You won't hit her ever again Broken cross Something lost Locked away I can feel you In my room I can hear her fight his kiss In my room I hear him bring down his fist And still at night I hear my mother cry She lays herself down No more strength to resist But the darkness won't forgive And still at night I hear my mother cry |

O Mount Kailas
Uncover me Come my restoration Wash my body clean I've been walking Along a crooked path Where the walls have fallen And broken me in half I'm telling you I will not rest till I lay down my head I'm gonna go In the house of stone and light I shall not cry for the blind man I leave behind When I got In the house of stone and light In the house of stone and light Holy lady Show me my soul Tell me of that place Where I must surely go Old man waiting At the gates for me Give me the wisdom Give me the key I'm telling you I will not rest till I lay down my head In the house of stone and light I make my way O gonna be such a beautiful day In the house of stone and light In the house of stone and light Let me in beneath my skin In the house of stone and light It's been too long My spirit's been at war Havasupai Shaman Let me be reborn All I will embrace the sun upon my face Come the day I awake the child inside In the house of stone and light And when I go I will op-op-open my eyes In the house of stone and light I will see you In the house of stone and light I'm looking in beneath my skin In The House of Stone And Light |

You had the model touch
I was your secret fool Through all the wasted words I'd see you cutting through Shades drawn tight across this man I was lip-syncing rhythm I'd no master plan There's a light in your heart There's a shadow in the shade of your eyes There's a place we can go after dark In between a truth and a lie And it's lit by the light in your heart The light in your heart You had the coolest hand I began to shake In and out of doubt A better world took shape But if I fall sometime at your feet Let me dream in your footsteps Walk in your sleep There's a light in your heart There's a shadow in the shade of your eyes There's a place we can go after dark In between a truth and a lie And it's lit by the light in your heart The light in your heart I'm no green light to something better Just old news when the dust settles down I'll be no blues I'll be here for you Keeping my part together There's a light in your heart There's a shadow in the shade of your eyes There's a place we can go after dark In between a truth and a lie And it's lit by the light in your heart The light in your heart |

There's a monkey in my dreams
Clinging like a thief Forcing my eyes open Wrestling in my sheets I'm living on my own now Without you on my back But still you keep on calling No disappearing act You used to be so good at that You used to be so good at games Now you go 'round and around Exiting the way you came Just a monkey in my dreams That's what you are A loose valve of escaping steam That's what you are A motor running in an empty car That's what you are And I won't stoop to the obscene You're a monkey Just a monkey You're a monkey in my dreams Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head I'm losing eight good hours With this hollow ghost of you Screeching in my sleep tank Sleeping in my shoes You used to be so good at that You used to be so good at games Now you go 'round and around Exiting the way you came Just a monkey in my dreams That's what you are A loose valve of escaping steam That's what you are A motor running in an empty car That's what you are And I won't stoop to the obscene You're a monkey Just a monkey You're a monkey in my dreams Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head Time to shake the monkey outta my bed Time to shake the monkey outta my head I can't reason on the phone I won't talk to your machine No doctor would prescribe you No doctor is that mean You used to be so good at that You used to be so good at games Now you go 'round and around Exiting the way you came Just a monkey in my dreams That's what you are A loose valve of escaping steam That's what you are A motor running in an empty car That's what you are And I won't stoop to the obscene You're a monkey Just a monkey You're a monkey in my dreams Gonna shake that monkey right outta my bed Gonna shake that monkey right outta my head |

Over the railway lines
Under the bridge Where we met first time I'm coming across town Walking to your house Yesterday weighs you down O lonely girl won't you come on out I swear it'll be alright On this holy night Put on your red dress baby And wear your smile Say goodnight to your sister We're gonna walk for miles We'll go where the boats are leaving In St. George's Bay And when I look into your eyes There's one thing that I can say No one loves you this way So put on your red dress baby And one more time Let me see you smile There's the abandoned train Where we sheltered from the rain Somehow I knew someday We'd come here again Put on your red dress baby And wear your smile Say goodnight to your sister We're gonna walk for miles We'll go where the boats are leaving In St. George's Bay And when I look into your eyes There's one thing that I can say No one loves you this way So put on your red dress baby And one more time Let me see you smile Here on this empty road We stare at ourselves In a shop window Funny we seem so right On this holy night So you put on your red dress baby And wear your smile Close the door right behind you We're gonna walk for miles We'll go where the boats are leaving In St. George's Bay And recall the tenderness As we sit by the waterside O I can never forget That I was the man who let you Slip out of his life So put on your red dress baby And let me one more time Make you smile tonight |

Just another day
Love seems so far away There's no sign of life In Eden's garden Just another day Liberty's coming out to play On a Belfast street Concrete stained Blood and rain I'm ashamed There's a broken man Praying for a wounded land Oh why can't we shape the invisible For faith that's blind The voice of reason cries Oh why can't we shape the invisible Just another day Brotherhood won't show his face In the neighborhood Drive by shots Time stops Doors are locked Behind my door Fear is keeping score Oh why can't we shape the invisible And the dealer won't rest 'Til he sells a child Death Oh why can't we shape the invisible Just another day Walking in the steps of Cain In the desert sun Lightning strikes Chemical lights Burn my eyes A mother's son Is now a soldier marching on He's been told to shape the invisible Under poisoned skies The children wonder why Our fathers can't shape the invisible Somewhere a small boy is playing with his toys Someday his innocence will Shape The Invisible |

Hannah is dreaming
She's young once again She stands with her brother With thousands of men Her head has been shaven By a black uniform She's one of God's children That waits at the door Tears in her pillow She tightens her lips Touches the number Tattooed on her wrist The sign says "Treblinka" Again she can't breathe For all of these children She'll always see They're her constant companions Six hundred souls In the doors of the chambers There's one door of hope That would open to the forest And fields covered green Where all of God's children Again would be free And they came out of the tunnels Went over in waves She'd run with the others Over the graves As the watchtowers tumble In an ocean of fire Some of God's children Escape through the wire Slowly 'round The raven flies Scours the trees Where they hid The Beast he threatens "You won't survive" She raise her fist And whispers in her sleep "I am going to live! I am going to live!" Sunlight has risen In her garden today Hannah is watching Her grandchildren play She hears the bells ringing In a town far away For all of God's children Who died for this day |
