Every day is a world
of possibilities
Every day we've got to challenge
our abilities
Every day we're stifled
by responsibilities
There's no way to
put your mind at ease
Every day could be the day
our dreams materialize
Every day we're forced
to find another compromise
Every day resembles life
has a busy noon and a quiet night
Let tomorrow bring
some peace of mind
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
In the middle of life
We're riding high
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
In the middle of life
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
But under pressure
Prime time blues
Prime time blues
Every night we allow
ourselves a dream or two
Every night you know
there's time enough
for feeling blue
Every night as we watch the fight
where dreams meet up
with necessities
hope remains to find
some peace of mind
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
In the middle of life
We're riding high
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
In the middle of life
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
But under pressure
In the middle of life
riding high
In the middle of life
In the middle of life
We're on top of the world
In the middle of life
Singing the prime time blues

Mister Father
looking so reliable
would you turn your other cheek
Listen to your son
and lay down your gun
in a crying world
in a crying world
Mister Father
are my words deniable
You can hear me you can choose
You can close your eyes
while your brother dies
in a crying world
in a crying world
Pray sighing souls
love and live and feel
Pray sighing souls
shed your tears to heal
in a crying world
Mister Father
you have made me lovingly
Can't you see there's
something wrong
when a loving heart
is tearing lives apart
in a dying world
in a dying world
Pray sighing souls
love and live and feel
Pray sighing souls
shed your tears to heal
Pray for the lying souls
for swindlers who cheat and conceal
Pray for the dying souls
robbers and grabbers who steal
Mister Father
feeling strong and powerful
can you hear me when I cry
for the little guy
for the ones who die
in a living world
in a loving world
in a loving world
in a loving world
loving world

Spring is coming
I can feel it in the air
like a new and shivering
flower that is growing
Spring is coming
I can hear it in the wind
like a warm and tender
greeting from an old friend
Once again wintertime is gone
gone away and I'm alive
What a thrill to see
the light again
I'm so glad to be revived
Spring is coming
I can see it in your eyes
like a fresh and lovely
early summer morning
Spring is coming
I can feel it in my heart
like a pure and sparkling
mountain stream cascading
Wintertime is gone
and spring is here again

I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't want to hurt myself
You kept talking about
the trust we must have
But I am sorry to say
I couldn't play it your way
I wanted to be honest
but honesty can hurt too much
I was afraid of all the
pain it would cause
was afraid of what I knew
deep down and of
telling it all to you
I tried I tried I tried
I screamed and I whispered
I fought and I loved
I tried I tried I tried
I tried a little more
wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any
love in store
I had to betray you
Or I would have betrayed myself
You kept saying it was
the same old thing
But I'm afraid
I didn't see it that way
I know it may be wrong to say
I had to betray to be true
I admit I had run out of things
that were right
and I just hope you can forgive
so we can both start to live
I tried I tried I tried
I screamed and I whispered
I fought and I loved
I tried I tried I tried
I tried a little more
wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any
love in store
I tried I tried I tried
I screamed and I whispered
I fought and I loved
I tried a little more
wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any
love in store
I tried I tried I tried
I screamed and I whispered
I fought and I loved
I tried I tried I tried
I tried a little more
wasn't fighting a war
There just wasn't any
love in store

Life a journey a one way trip
no return included
We sign on a departing ship
The name of her is Destiny
You need to travel
within your heart
to reach a goal secluded
Friends in life
they can share their chart
but you alone
will set the course
I trust the winds
to take you there
Sail away sail away sail away
stars will guide you
Sail away sail away
sail on friendship sail
The eye can capture the universe
can see it all but not itself
Some would say an eternal curse
laid on each and everyone
Every pair of eyes in which
you're brave enough to dive
soon reflect a part of you
Life is yours
May you always thrive
and enjoy the ride on Destiny
I know the winds
will take you there
Sail away sail away sail away
stars will guide you
Sail away sail away
sail on friendship sail
Sail away sail away sail away
stars will guide you
Sail away sail away
sail on friendship sail
sail on friendship sail

The dark discreetly
sparkling night
is disguised completely
by the light
from downtown
The music is flowing
the skyline is glowing
concealing my lucky star
The streets will rumble
all night long
as the treetops mumble
a muted song
to the wind
Longing to see you
I'm longing to free you
and reveal where you are
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
through the light
The blind attraction of the town
is a dumb distraction
wearing down
who I am
The needle that I track
is outside the haystack
All I hold is a straw
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
coming from out of sight
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
through the light
Every night my feet keep walking
through the crowd of people talking
I can't hear the trees anymore
Every night my heart is yearning
while the city lights keep burning
I can't see the stars anymore
Longing to see you
I'm longing to free you
and reveal where you are
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
coming from out of sight
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
coming from out of sight
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
Are you coming to me
coming to me tonight
Are you coming to me
coming from out of sight

Deep inside I have a secret place
where lost and hidden
dreams appear to me
Memories wake in this
enchanted space
whispering of things
once so dear to me
Time is running
slipping through my hands
like grains of sand
every single one a broken wish
All my dreams of longing
once so clear
fade from bright to gray
and disappear
And my hidden world
is a desert land
where nothing grows upon the sand
until a solitary flower
takes my breath away
She is small very small
But oh she is beautiful
Alive she thrives
a universe unto herself
And then I know
hope was never gone
for there is always more
more day to dawn
Now sometimes in my world of dreams
I look out and suddenly it seems
a hidden sea of flowers
awaits the desert showers
Then I realize that dreams
really change with me
And that sorrow and happiness
are the seasons I bring
So it seems to me
and I'll always be
so very happy for the dreams
that see the spring

A perfect life in a perfect home
A perfect wife - could be a queen on a throne
A perfect life in a perfect home
Perfect thoughts in a perfect head
A perfect body in a perfect bed
If there are any ifs or doubts
If you feel unsure
If something's gone wrong
If you can hear a stifled voice
behind a secret door...
Buy more things
Buy the store
Buy the wings
to fly out the door
Buy more things
Buy the store
Buy for comfort
Buy to forget
Buy all you need
to pay the debt
If there are any ifs or doubts
If you feel unsure
If something's gone wrong
If you can hear a stifled voice
behind a secret door
Open it slowly and
open it carefully
Open it slowly and
open it carefully
That's the only way
If there are any ifs or doubts...

The whisper of the leaves in the morning
The roaring of a wave in a storm
The drizzle of the rain on your windowpane
Sing a quiet song of our love
Old men telling lies on a park bench
A young girl making plans on the phone
A secret on the lips of an eager child
Sing a quiet song of our love
We never had a house with a garden
I never had a ring with your name
When I saw you leave did I hear your eyes
sing a quiet song of our love?
Our love is
Sailing on the sea in the daytime
Riding over the clouds through the night
Shining in the sky till the end of time
when we sing a quiet song of our love

It's not given
because you deserve it
it's given by grace
It's not given
because you deserve it
it's given by grace
I can't believe how close it was
as close as it gets
New days promise newer wonders
like a laugh a smile a frown
Then comes a day like any other
when the world comes crashing down
I saw you go how could I know
if this would be the last
time that we'd ever be
together you and me
It's not given
because we deserve it
it's given by grace
It's not given
because we deserve it
it's given by grace
Though all too brief the hours
we'd shared had redrawn my life
In this high stakes world of
give and take
couldn't you be left alone
to learn from life's
many small mistakes
to discover on your own
I couldn't bear just standing there
You were drifting out of reach
Then your eyes opened up to mine
a blessing and a sign
Not given because I deserved it
but given by grace
Chance or design
what's the reason
I wouldn't know where to begin
Faith is a small consolation
I look for a light from within
It's not given
because you deserve it
it's given by grace
It's engraved in my heart
by the wonder
I see in your face
It's not given
because you deserve it

I'd love to give to you a tone
and share it with you every single day
The answer you hold in your heart, still untold There's no need for any words
And if I gave to you my time
then would you like to spend it all with me?
My ring on your hand and you know where I stand Here in this moment by your side
I know, my love I'll see my dreams come true
A life for me is a life with you
Every word you say every time you smile
every single tear says why
a life for me is a life with you
And I will always, always love you so
I'd love to give to you a flower
that's lives within a garden of our own
For each day there grows this everlasting rose
that opens up to you alone
I'd love to give to you a tone
to join the music sounding in your heart
Careful but free, our own melody
ever gently flowing on
reminding us each day how dreams come true
A life for me is a life with you
Every word you say every time you smile
every single tear says why
a life for me is a life with you
And I will always, always love you so
A life for me
is a life with you

What a funny looking gadget someone
put here on display
A spectacular machine you don't run into everyday
A peculiar propeller and nickel-plated spring
Can you explain the purpose of this
fascinating thing?
Well you can see the electricity emerging
through this hole
then proceeding to the engine on the back
of this control
It distributes the power to pumps herein
and with wind on the propeller the propeller
makes a spin
With a twist and a sound
it will toss and turn around
And you need no gasoline-
it's a marvelous machine!
Thank you, Professor
Can you describe this on a level that
ever I can follow?
Mr. Professor, it's me again.
We want to know what this is!
Well the power plant produces electricity
Just enough to run the engine with simplicity
Because the energy recirculates,
trust your gadgeteer
And tadah!
The perpetual motion thingamabob is here!
With a twist and sound it
will toss and turn around
And you need no gasolone-
it's a marvelous machine!
That's obvious, but what is it?
A perpetual motion thingambob
I see, a perpetual motion thingambob
A perpetual motion thingambob
I got that. You're saying that it keeps on forver?
A perpetual motion thingambob
But what is its purpose?
A perpetual motion thingambob
I mean it doesn't do anything, does it?
Do anything? Of course it does.
When the summer comes
it sometimes overheats
and you can cook porridge in the funnel
So you keep this thingamabob
just to cook porridge?
With a twist and sound it
will toss and turn around
Amd you need no gasoline-
it's a marvelous machine
