When you wish upon a star, Your dreams will take you very far. But when you wish upon a dream, Life ain′t always what it seems. What′d you see, on night of clear, In the sky so very dear?
You′re a shining star, no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you could truly be. (what you could truly be)
Shining star comes into view, To shine its watchful light on you. Gives you strength to carry on, Makes your body big and strong.
Born a man-child of the sun Saw the work had just begun Found I had to stand alone. Bless it now I′ve got my own.
So, if you find yourself in need, Won′t you listen to these words of heed. Be a giant or grain of sand. Words of wisdom- Yes, I can.
You′re a shining star, no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you could truly be. You′re a shining star, no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you could truly be. You′re a shining star, no matter who you are. Shining bright to see what you could truly be.
Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be Shining star for you to see, what your life can truly be
Hearts of fire creates love desire Take you high and higher to the world you belong Hearts of fire creates love desire High and higher to your place on the throne We’ve come together on this special day To sing our message loud and clear Looking back we’ve touched on sorrowful days Future pass, they disappear You will find peace of mind If you look way down in your heart and soul Don't hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold Stay young at heart ‘cause you’re never old at heart That’s the way of the world Plant your flower and you grow a pearl A child is born with a heart of gold The way of the world makes his heart grow cold
Hearts of fire creates love desire Take you high and higher to the world you belong Hearts of fire creates love desire High and higher to you Hearts of fire, love desire higher Came together on this special day Sung our message loud and clear Looking back we’ve touched on sorrowful days Future disappear You will find peace of mind If you look way down in your heart and soul Don't hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold Stay young at heart ‘cause you’re never, never, never ... That’s the way of the world Plant your flower and you grow a pearl A child is born with a heart of gold The way of the world makes his heart grow cold
Feelin', happy feelin' In the music that we're giving, Feel the power Of the hour, Every moment, that You're living...
Little babies, Tell the story, Mother Nature, And its glory, Share the feelin', With your brother, Don't stop caring, One another... There's a reason, That we pleasing, What you're yearnin' Life's a burnin'
We know it′s been time talking to you, So we figure we lay it on you. Let you know how we feel about, love. Paint a pretty smile, each day lovin, is a blessing, never let it fade away. It′s all about love
Build yourself a true romance, There′s beauty that surround you you deserve, just one more chance
My dear, my dear
Let the light snine, all through your mind feel your little, heart a glow. Take the time, make up your mind It′s all about love
Talking to yourself is fine makes you feel, much better, know just where to draw the line
My dear, my dear
Bound to fall in love one day surely and you need it, pretty smile will always say it′s all about love
We want to take this moment to run down a couple of things about things we see everyday.
Now, I want you to stop whatever you′re doing. Just stop. You know, they say there′ s beauty in the eyes of the beholder which I say is a natural fact, because, You are as beautiful as your thoughts, right on.
You know, for instance, with us, we′ve studied all kinds of sciences, and astrologies, and mysticism, and world religions And so forth, you dig? And like coming from a hip place, all these things help ′Cause they give you an insight into your inner self. Have mercy!
Now. there′s an outer self we got to deal with You know, the one that likes to go to parties, The one that likes to dress up and be cool and look pretty, all ego-trips and all this.
Hear you all, I′m trying to tell you, you gotta love you. And love all the beautiful things around you, trees and birds. And if there ain′t no beauty, you got to make some beauty. Have mercy Listen to me, hear me all
Now, I′m craving your body, is this real Temperatures rising, I don′t want to feel I′m in the wrong place to be real Woahh and I′m; longing to love you just for a night, Kissing and hugging and holding you tight Please let me love you with all my might
Reasons, the reasons that we hear, The reasons that we fear our feelings a-won′t disappear
Oooh! And- after the love game has been played All our illusions were just a parade And all the reasons start to fade
(Layering Chorus) LA-LA-LA-ETC After all our reasons why All the reasons were a lie After all the reasons lo-ove was ne′er decide
And, longing to love you for one night Please let me love you with all of my might, baaaaby OOOHHH, Baby!
Reasons, the reasons that we hear, The reasons that we fear our feelings a-won′t disappear
Oooh! And after the love games have been played All our illusions were just a parade And all the reasons start to fade
And, in the morning when I rise, no longer feeling hynotized For no reasons, our reasons, our reasons have no pri-ii-de
(Layering Chorus) LA-LA-LA-ETC After all the reasons why All of the reasons were a lie After all the reasons lo-ove was ne′er decide
(Phillips last solo) Heeehhhhh, Ooooh, yeaahhh, Oohhh Baby, I can′t find the reasons That my love won′t disappear Can′t find the reasons Why I love you ,my baby, my dear Can′t find the reasons Wanna love you all night Can′t find the reasons Gotta squeeze ya, real tight Can′t find the reasons Baby- yeah, For my tears Can′t find the reasons Why I love ya....(fade to black)
Lookin' through the clouds, what do you see? Sky of gases, child in need Troubles everywhere, more than I can bear So I'm searching from within Help them see the light
I'm a blossom, in the sun, sunshine of love Singing loud to the one, I love above. Shine on sun, let your light, guide my way. For so long, there's been such darkness,
Got to be a better way Keep me lord, help me to grow. So I may, reap the fruits, Of a free and happy soul. Help them see the light.
Give me strength, when temptation calls. Lift me up when life's battles make me fall. Shelter me from the evil and the wrong. So when ya call, dear lord, I said I'll be strong.
Walk with me, when the stormy nights are cold, In your hand lies all control.
Master, then when my final song is sung, With your mercy, I pray that you'll say well done. Help them see the light
We know it′s been time talking to you, So we figure we lay it on you. Let you know how we feel about, love. Paint a pretty smile, each day lovin, is a blessing, never let it fade away. It′s all about love
