This year's crop of kisses Don't seem as sweet to me This year's crop just misses What kisses used to be This year's new romance Doesn't seem to have a chance Even helped by Mr. Moon above This year's crop of kisses is not for me For I'm still wearin' last year's love |

In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled You count your money in your prison tower Made of concrete, glass, and steel Feeling cozy in the hallow warmth Of another business deal You've climbed your way to the top, but lately it seems That there's a hole in the heart of the American dream Sitting pretty in your trophy room With your shining souvenirs That just remind you of the wasted time And the lateness of the years Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled In a moment it could all be gone In the twinkling of an eye Then what's your pile of precious pride worth then? If you've ever wondered why Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this More than this Is that all there is? All there is? Is that all there is? All there is? Is that all there is? All there is? Is that all there is? All there is |

There's a love in my life Neither mistress nor wife And she waits for me every morning by the sea Where the fishing hawk wheels And the sun warms the seals There she lays at her silent anchorage for me She is fine, she is fleet She will run, reach, or beat With a song in her rigging and her sails And when day is done We will lay to as one And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars And we sail away Off to Jericho Bay Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the songs that she sings me It brings me such peace When the seas rise up angry and high She's a friend of mine The minstrel There are loons off to port And the porpoises sport In her wake as she breaks the rolling main And with the wind in her sails We will run with the whales As they swim through their dark diminishing domain And we sail away Off to Jericho Bay Where the blue of the sea meets the sky And the songs that she sings me It brings me such peace When the seas rise up angry and high She's a friend of mine The minstrel |

There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was good I had a family and friends So many friends We'd drive to the lake on holidays Back then it wasn't so dear For a sandwich or beer At night I still dream I can see their faces Certain things that you depend upon There are places that you know And the faces of America Oh, where did they go? Where did they go? I was born on a farm A midwestern farm I rode on the tractor with my dad And though we never had much It was always enough And we made the best of what we had Then came four years of drought And the bottom dropped out My father was broken like the rest I can still see his hands Signing over his lands And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed Certain things that you depend upon There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America For someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to know There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was oh so good Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed Like the right of every man to work And feed his family And feed his family And the faces of America Seem so distant and estranged Have their eyes become too blind to see How much their hearts have changed? (how much their hearts) How much their hearts have changed? (how much their hearts) How much their hearts have changed |

Last night I dreamed I was looking down On the planet Earth spinning round and round And as I cast my gaze about I watched her lovely light go out The light went out And floating in the black of space I was looking into God's own face And in his hands he held this tiny Earth He said "Well ain't it a shame what they've done to her After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road" "Well, I laid a bounty in their hands And only gave them ten commands But they never learned their lessons very well And they drove my garden straight to hell That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road" (And then he told me) "Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools And your presidents only dupes and tools Of the money makers and the Chiefs of Staff Who worshipped of that golden calf They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road" (And then I told him) "Well, you made the sun and you made the sky The things that crawl and the things that fly And then you made the human race" And he said "Well, everybody makes mistakes I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road" Even though it was just a dream It seemed as real as it could seem And often dreams the truth forebodes You got to get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Holy road, holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road Got to get back on the holy road Holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road On the holy road The holy road On the holy road people On the holy road now On the holy road now Holy road On the holy road children On the holy road Holy holy, holy road |

The grass is high and the work is done Send the sun to his sleeping place Now we'll dance and make love beneath The Serengeti moon The Gods are laughing their twinkling eyes Shine on us in the clear night sky Take my hand let us walk beneath The Serengeti moon Oh, let the music play (Mamaland melodie yalla) [listen to the melody] Fill your heart with joy and mirth (Thabishing pelo tsa lona) [let your hearts rejoice] Oh, let the rain clouds come (Mamaland melodie yalla) And spill their life upon this earth Oh, let the music play (Mamaland melodie yalla) [listen to the melody] Fill your heart with joy and mirth (Thabishing pelo tsa lona) [let your hearts rejoice] Oh, let the rain clouds come (Mamaland melodie yalla) And spill their life upon this earth The grass is high and the work is done Send the sun to his sleeping place Now we'll dance and make love beneath The Serengeti moon The Serengeti moon The Serengeti moon |

Rain keeps falling - keeps falling down Like it's never going to quit Trouble stalks this one horse town Like it can smell the fear inside of it Through the night the fires rage Mixing juices 'til they disengage Mouths get hungry and the hands reach out Is there something we should talk about We've got to head for higher ground, oh no Oh good people there's hard choices going down now We've got to head for higher ground Head for higher ground Higher ground Shattered trusts and broken vows Can exact a heavy toll And in the race of heart and mind Sure, the loser is the soul We've got to head for higher ground, oh no Good people there's hard choices going down now We've got to head for higher ground Head for higher ground Higher ground Higher Higher Higher Higher Higher Higher Higher Faithless deeds for faithless times All men are guilty of their brothers' crimes So few are chosen; there's even fewer called So few can ever read the writing on the wall We've got to head for higher ground, no people, Oh people there's hard choices going down now We've got to head for higher ground Head for higher ground Higher We've got to head for higher ground Oh, good people there's hard choices going down, now We've got to head for higher ground Head for higher ground Higher ground |

And now the lonely days are done And with each rising of the sun Love begins anew And if you ever ask me why I know that my love will never die I'll say these words to you Of all the souls I've ever known Mine sings to yours and yours alone And yours sings just to me In all this world I'll never find A heart that could beat as close to mine And this time I can see A love like this Is so hard to find And so many never do And loves like this When they even exist Are precious and few You know they're precious and few A love like this Is so hard to find And so many never do And loves like this When they even exist Are precious and few You know they're precious and few Down the miles, through the years Yours is the star by which I steer The brightest star I've known And when I feel all hope is gone Yours is the love that leads me on The light that guides me home The light that guides me home Your light will guide me home |

I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time I hear a voice, like mystery Blowing warm through the night The silent moon embraces me And I'm drawn to her light I follow footprints in the sand To a circle of stone And find a fire burning bright Though I came here alone And in the play of shadows cast I can dimly discern The shapes of all who've gone before Calling me to return There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance Across the ages And melt into a river of souls (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es mio? [What is mine? Lo que es de Dios? What is God's? Lo que es del rio? What is the river's?] Melt into a river of souls I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time To every man the mystery Sings a different song He fills his page of history Dreams his dreams And is gone There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance Across the ages And melt into a river of souls (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es mio? [What is mine? Lo que es de Dios? What is God's? Lo que es del rio? What is the river's?] Melt into a river of souls |

You know that everybody has a voice And how they use it is their own free choice But in your glory I will not rejoice If you choose the ways of war If you choose the ways of war Ashes to ashes and dust to dust My country 'tis of thee; in God we trust But how much longer will he shelter us While we choose the ways of war While the winds of war rage on Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let it start here with me Oh let mine be a voice for peace The good book tells us thou shalt not kill The truth came shining and it's shining still But how much blood upon this earth must spill Before we lay our weapons down Let us lay our weapons down Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let it start here with me Oh let mine be a voice for peace Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let it start here with me Oh let mine be a voice And in the face of the beast Oh let mine be a voice Until the breaths in me cease Oh let mine be a voice for peace Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace Oh let mine Raise your voice up Raise your voice up Raise your voice up and sing for the promise of peace |
