Way over yonder
is a place that I know Where I can find shelter from hunger and cold. And the sweet tasting good life is so easily found Way over yonder that's where I'm bound. I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see Is the sun shining golden (sun shining golden) shining right down on me. Then trouble's gonna lose me worry leave me behind And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind. Talkin' bout a, talkin' bout a... Way over yonder is a place I have seen In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream May be tomorrow I'll find my way To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day And the sweet tasting good life is so easily found Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound |

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand Open up your mind and then open up your heart And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart 'Cause I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay But I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love With a nigger from the streets Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me 'Cause she believes that love will see it through And one day he'll understand And he'll see me as a person not just a black man 'Cause I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer I believe that love will find the way Love will find the way Love will find the way Love will find the way Please love find the way Please love find the way |

Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Precious memories are clear before my eyes I can hear your voice calling out my name But I don't know you now, nothing stays the same All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide To that special place I help for you deep inside I've kept good company since you've been away Lonely stayed with me with pride began to fade All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself And I will follow you til the end of time Til our love is at the end of the line You rolled out of my life just like the wind And left behind a broken heart All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself |

I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between Living and alive Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room Lying there in pain Praying for the Lord to take her Nora - I hope it won't be too long for you Nora - All these years you've been so strong Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora I love you After leaving her, I turned my life around I see new life differently Through the vision of the old Oh, material things don't mean that muich to me I guess I learned that I'm just Glad to be alive and healthy Nora - All this time that you have known me Nora - It took your whole life just to show me Nora - How we take some things for granted Nora, Nora, Nora, I love you And though I know there wasn't long to go Time was something that we shared And when you died I didn't cry for long Cause I believe I'll see you again Nora - I'll see you on the other side Nora - I'll be the one with swallowed pride Nora - Are you sure you don't mind if I call you Nora, Nora, I love you, I love you, I love you I love ... you |

If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to me To take my heart and hand into your comfort zone Where I'm not alone or lonely Well would you take the time to be my friend Cause in the end that's all there is There's love the eternal bond between us Would you be there When the lights are down low and I'm feeliong insecure With this bed so big and cold only memories to hold It's your voice I need to hear to help me overcome this fear I need your hand to help my heart from sinking into this quicksand of love If I told you that I couldn't bear to be alone Would you be there And if I said I need your heart to be my home Would you let me stay there Would you be there for me Can't you see I need you and you need me tonight Close your eyes Realize I've got so much love to give to you |

The can tell a million stories of all he holds inside Waiting patiently 'til the day he dies For a better life-for a better life For a better life-for a better life He saw people die because of their beliefs He saw a leader shot down cold by men behind the trees But he believes he believes that one day he will see Love and harmony-love and harmony Love and harmony-love and harmony He said Take me to a world that's filled with happy people Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain't alone Take me to that peaceful place I call Home Tell me how it is that someone can't believe When the sun gives light and brown comes to the leaves But we have got our own ideas of how the story's told Lies and make believe-lies and make believe Lies and make believe-lies and make believe He said Take me to a world that's filled with happy people Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain't alone Take me to that peaceful place I call Home |

You spend half the time dreaming and the other half's a lie
You don't know where you're going and you don't know how to try You don't really have a best friend but you think that you're in love Now all you can remember are the words he used the most Like the "lie" in believe The "I" in decieve The "her" in together The "we" in the weather He said a lot of things I'm sure he meant them at the time But it's not the end of the world Well you didn't see it coming cause you never understood That there's a time to draw the line when things are going good But you just kept on giving beyond the call of love And he was kind to rob you blind of the pieces of your heart Like that part that made you give And the part that made you weak When he would softly kiss you And tell you that he missed you I know it doesn't seem like what I'm going to say is true But it's not the end of the world It's not the end of the line You know there's more to love You know there's more to life And I know there's more to you Well I can't help but think about you in the middle of the night I know it's kinda lonely but you have to win this fight I just wish that I could hold you and tell you it's allright But it's not the end of the world |

Well it's all right to feel like time is running down
And make amends with those who once have let you down To cry for children who have not yet had their chance To pray for foes in hopes that one day we'll join hands And live in Heaven Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Love's waiting past the stars Tranquility is not that far Believe in Him he believes in you And I'll see you in Heaven I seen a messenger who was preaching on the street He had nothing but the blisters on his feet And all those big shots with their Mercedes' and yachts There'll be a time fir the to let go what they got And I'll see them in Heaven (...maybe) Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Heaven forever Do you feel it? Do you see? There's no admission, Heaven's free This is ther world which we decided Without the love we're all divided Love's waiting in the sky Tears for Him will puriufy The answer is in His eyes And He'll see you in Heaven Do you live for Heaven Would you die for Heaven Then I'll see you in Heaven |

could i be with you alone?
i'm not sure where this will go. cause we don't have the time we need, just enough to make us bleed. cause i'll be leaving soon... its hard to say when i'll return, and i don't want to lead you on. so if you feel the need, close your eyes and share this dream. it will be eternity... forever for tonight, i will be there to hold you through the night. forever for tonight, i will love you.. forever for tonight forever for tonight as i look into your eyes, feelings much too strong for us not to try, and if by chance we lose this fight, darling we still have tonight. so when i'm far away, i will always be with you. you will never be alone... so if you feel the need, to take my hand and share this night. it will be eternity... forever for tonight, i will be there to hold you through the night. (i'll be there for you babe) forever for tonight, i will love you, forever for tonight... see i've been broken down by empty promises like a sky without a star. i've been having doubts that i can feel again but i believe that i will love you... ohhhhh yeeaaah forever for tonight i will be there to hold you through the night (i'll be there for you baby) forever for tonight i will love you forever for tonight |

All my life has been a show that never ends
Made a lot of music and I've made a lot of friends I've got two children but I've never had a wife Don't mean to bore you with the story of my life I've been criticized for all the things I've done But I must admit that I did it all in fun The Lord has blessed me with a song a day to sing It's been a long hard road but I wouldn't change a thing And oh I'm just lucky to be here I can't believe I got this far And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear I'm sorry But I thought I saw my dream There's been so much that I've learned along the way I learned that love is color blind and how to pray And that emotions were controlled from deep inside But what I learned the most was how to swallow pride Oh, I'm just lucky to be here I can't believe I got this far And if I stopped along the way to fight a tear I'm sorry But I thought I saw my dream Oh, I'm just lucky to be here I'd gladly stay a thousand years Breathe your love into this union of souls And I'll just write the words |

saw our future in her eyes
We searched for love amidst the lies I didn't mean to draw her in To a fight we'll never win And I sigh as... She becomes like jelly in my hands She told me things I never heard And I just drank her every word We swallow all that love can give Cause love's the reason that we live And I cry as... She becomes like jelly in my hands We crossed our T's with gazing eyes We knew it all was finalized Built this love on sinking sand And I'm ashamed that I'm afraid to lend a hand as... She becomes like jelly in my hands |

I can't remember the last time that we kissed goodbye
All our 'I love you's' were just not enough to survive Something your eyes never told me But it's only now too plain to see Brilliant disguise when you hold me And I'm free I've been thinking and here's what I've come to conclude Sometimes the distance is more than two people can use But how could I have known girl It was time and not space you would need Darling tonight I could hold you and you would know But would you believe There's a light in your eyes that I used to see There's a place in your heart where I used to be Was I wrong to assume that you were waiting for me There's a light in your eyes Did you leave that light burning for me Cards and phone calls and photograph pictures of you Constant reminder of all the things you get used to Is there a chance in hell or heaven That there's still something here to build on Or do you just pick up the pieces after they fall But after all There's a light in your eyes that I used to see And a song in the words that you spoke to me Was I wrong to believe in your melody There's a light in your eyes Did you leave that light burning for me Should I keep on waiting or does love keep on fading away Fading away It's been a while since I've seen you so how have you been Did you get my letter I wrote you, but I did not send I tried to call your old number But the voice that I heard on the phone I recognized but she told me the number was wrong There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see And a pain in my heart where you used to be Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me There's a light in your eyes Did you leave that light burning for me |

I was never really down with coffee shops A group of beatniks reading Kerouac And the smell of grass from the parking lot And as I recall We got to know each other We got to show each other That we were fine just being friends There's that guy who thinks he's Dylan He plays guitar with the band And he dedicates a song he thinks belongs to you and me He must've seen us holding hands But they don't know We tried to cross that line before But what we have is so much more Cause now you will always be mine And as I recall We got to know each other We got to show each other That we were fine just being friends We tried to cross that line before But what we have is so much more Cause now you will always be mine inside And as I recall We got to know each other We got to show each other That we were fine just being friends And we still hold each other And we still love each other But we're just fine just being friends |

When you see love
And you don't know what it is You might find yourself in fear To show your heart But when you feel it And it's oh, so wonderful You might find yourself in fear To let it part, in fear to let it part So hold her closer when she cries Hold her closer when she feels She needs a hand to hold Someone who'll never let her go again And hold him closer when he tries To hold the tears back from his eyes Don't say goodbye When your heart decides That it's time to let it through There's no reason to be scared To open up Cause love may be blind But all of us don't see it So just once in your life If you hear the knock of love Just let it in Hold her closer when she cries Hold her closer when you know it's time to say goodbye You hurry back to see her smile again And hold him closer when he's down When his world is upside down Turn it around So hold her closer when she cries Hold her closer when she feels She needs a hand to hold Someone who'll never let her go again And hold her closer when she's down When her world is upside down Turn it around Hold her close |

We tried so hard to find our souls And lose the innocence that won't let go So we crossed the line and can't turn back Happy endings never last Cause there's always more to stories never told Is this what I've been waiting for A life for someone else To polish all my faded dreams and put them on the shelf Is this what I've been dreaming of Cause I'm needing so much more I'm just trying to get back where we were before We'd shine so hard for everyone Cause we thought we had forever and A day we never thought would end this way With a million mornings left to come We never cared for losing one But it's half past my forever And I need someone to hold my hand And you're just what I've been waiting for To come and take me in To grab ahold and take control and make me whole again And if you need my everything You can take it all and more Just help me to get back where we were before I've grown numb to some things Hunger for the one thing That takes me back to where it all began it all began I know we've grown apart But every now and then I just close my eyes and here we are again And you're just what I've been waiting for So come and take me in Grab ahold and take control and make me whole my friend And if you need my everything You can take in all and more Just help me get back where we were before |

Yesterday, she walked out of my life She said it was the best for both of us The other day, I was doin' fine But yesterday was the last day of my life Every minute I'm alone I watch the phone I can't believe It's so pathetic how my imagination Gets the best of me Maybe I'll phone her up, won't act grown up Then she'll hang up the line Now I'll just have to get a life Yesterday she walked out of my life She said it was the best for both of us The other day I was doin' fine Yesterday was the last day of my life Yesterday she walked out of my life The day before, I was feelin' fine Yesterday was the last day of my life Why did I doubt her (Yesterday) I'm better without her (Yesterday) Yesterday she walked out of my life There she goes If she don't care why the hell should I Yesterday was the best day of my life Yesterday she walked out of my life If she don't care, why the hell should I Yesterday was the best day of my... Yesterday was the best day of my life... |

She don't care about my car
She don't care about my money And that's real good because I don't got alot to spend But if I did it wouldn't mean nothin' She likes me for me Not because I look like Tyson Beckford With the charm of Robert Redford Oozing out my ears But what she sees Are my faults and indecisions My insecure conditions And the tears upon the pillow that I shed She don't care about my big screen Or my collection of DVD's Things like that just never mattered much to her Plus she don't watch to much t.v. And she don't care that I can fly her To places she ain't never been But if she really wants to go I think deep down she knows that All she has to say is when She likes me for me Not because I hang with Leonardo Or that guy who played in Fargo I think his name is Steve She's the one for me And I just can't live without her My arms belong around her And I'm so glad I found her once again And I'm so glad I found her once again And I'm so glad I found her once again Gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feelings in the dark The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end She likes me for me Not because I sing like Pavarotti Or because I am such a hottie I like her for her Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford She has got so much to offer Why does she waste all her time with me There must be something there that I don't see She likes me for me Not because I'm tough like Dirty Hairy Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey Unlike the Cable Guy But what she sees Is that I can't live without her My arms belong around her And I'm so glad I found her once again Found her once again I'm so glad I found her once again On again |

I knew that this moment would come in time
That I'd have to let go and watch you fly I know you're coming back so why am I dying inside Are you searching for words that you can't find Trying to hide your emotions but eyes don't lie Guess there's no easy way to say goodbye So I'll be standing at the edge of the earth Hoping that someday you'll come back again I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping for someday Don't misunderstand what I'm trying to say I don't want to let you leave this way I want you to know that I stand right by your side And I know this may be The very last time that we see each other cry But whatever happens know that I'll.... I'll be standing at the edge of the earth Hoping that one day you'll come back again I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday You'll come back to me I'll be praying for whatever it's worth Believing that one day you'll come back to me I'll be standing at the edge of the earth Hoping for someday And I know this may be The very last time that we see each other cry But whatever happens know that I'll.... I'll be standing at the edge of the earth Hoping that one day you'll come back again I'll be standing at the edge of the earth hoping that someday You'll come back to me I'll be praying for whatever it's worth Believing that one day you'll come back to me I'll be standing at the edge of the earth Hoping for someday Waiting for someday Believing in someday Praying for someday, I'll be.... Longing for someday Clinging to someday Cherishing someday, I'll be.... Thinking of someday Dreaming of someday Wishing for someday, I'll be....

It's time to make a choice but I'm afraid to make some noise When I hear the silent voice and the voice is telling me Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Cause I'm a man on the run, do I have to wave a gun Will I end up like the rest where the rest sleep eternally Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey I'm looking for something more than this Can't sleep on this concrete pillow I'm looking for something better than this I'm slipping back to the low... I'm going down In my head is the sound It's the voide of no one... I'm looking for something more than this Can't see out my stone glass window There's gotta be something better than this I'm slipping back to the low... |

She lies in bed, out of her head, sucking a cigarette
Closing her eyes, she really tries to make believe she's dead But she's not She's not In the next tomb, her old man's room, it's another night He slips away on cathode ray into the TV light Yea it's on But he's gone We live on South Hampton Avenue We'll leave the welcome light on for you Now that you think you know who we are How do you like us so far? Right down the stairs my mom is there under the mushroom cloud Sometimes she sits, sometimes she knits, sometimes she talks out loud To herself She's allowed Hanging on the wall, up and down the hall, pictures of family My brother Dave is on display for all the world to see Now he's gone He moved on We live on South Hampton Avenue I've got a feelin' that so do you... We live on South Hampton Avenue We'll leave the welcome mat out for you Now that we think we know who you are How do you like us so far? We live on South Hampton Avenue... |

I started to write you a letter the other day
Didn't know exactly what I was going to say And at the last minute I threw it away Cause I didn't think you'd read it anyway And I'm the kind of man who's glass is half full But I'm a bit torn from the strings you pulled And since I already felt a bit abused I thought to myself What have I got to lose Cause I can't fall much further down And look what I've got to win If you would only hear my heart Yesterday I actually tried calling But that was after six days and six nights of stalling And I thought about everything that we've been through All the different places that we went to The times we hurt each other, sometimes we meant to Trying to make up with flowers that I sent you But now I'm at the crossroads and it's time to choose And I guess I just figured, what the hell... What have I got to lose Cause I've already come this far And look what I've got to win If you would only search my heart and see what's deep inside Don't want to go to sleep cause I don't want to dream I always wake up with tears it seems Can't blame it on you so it must be me I'll beg for forgiveness if that's what I need to do Cause I ain't got nothing to lose I've lost the one thing missing from my life But look what I've got to win If only I can get you to hear my heart What have I got to lose When all I've lost is the everything that I need And look what I've got to win If you'll only listen, listen to my heart |

I know you've heard the excuses before
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short I've bound my emotions cause I can't afford to be wrong I know we've talked about being good friends So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent But all of your glances they came and they went to my head And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind When I said "I loved you" that's what I meant And I plan to show you if it take me the rest of my life The rest of my life Rest of my life I don't want to rush this cause my greatest fear Is taking for granted what's taken us years To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we've cried We've taken our time and for this I'm so glad Now we can be sure that this moment will last We've traveled a road of mistakes in our past to get here And I'm not about to throw words to the wind Whe I said "I love you" that's what I meant And I'm going to show you if it takes me the rest of my life The rest of my life The rest of my life And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind When I said "I love you" well that's what I meant and I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life |

I don't know what I was thinking when I seen her
I just had to find a way I could meet her Cause I've been dying for the chance just to treat her Like the ripe little peach she is Wouldn't even cross my mind to deceive her But she could lie through her teeth and I'd believe her I don't know her but I know that I need her And I don't think she's got a notion but That's the girl I've been telling you about Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more She got it going on and I never want to be without her That's the girl I've been telling you about She's been spinning in my head like a revolving door Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revovles around her I don't even think she knows how she moves me I can't explain it but she does something to me If she ever looked she'd see right through me And I don't think that I could keep my cool I could tell her that I want to get to know her Take her the places that I'd really like to show her But I hear she's got somebody and he loves her And I don't think he's got a notion but That's the girl I've been telling you about Ain't she everything I said and a whole lot more She's got it going on and I never want to be without her That's the girl I've been telling you about She's been living in y head like a recurring dream Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revolves around her She lives in my head from the start of my day til the night And every word that she says I'm hanging onto so tight That's the girl I've been telling you about Ain't she everything I said could you need much more She's got it going on and I never want to be without her That's the girl I've been telling you about She's been reigning in my head like a pouring storm Her smile is like the sun and my whole world revovles around her Like a soul in the wind I've been lost since the day I found her What I'd give to be everything she needs like the air around her Got my arms open wide wish she knew they belong around her |

Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Precious memories are clear before my eyes I can hear your voice calling out my name But I don't know you now, nothing stays the same All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide To that special place I help for you deep inside I've kept good company since you've been away Lonely stayed with me with pride began to fade All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself And I will follow you til the end of time Til our love is at the end of the line You rolled out of my life just like the wind And left behind a broken heart All along I have wanted you I pray tonight that you want me, too All along there was no one else I've been waiting here all by myself |

And she don't care that I can fly her To places she ain't never been But if she really wants to go I think deep down she knows that All she has to say is when She likes me for me Not because I hang with Leonardo Or that guy who played in Fargo I think his name is Steve She's the one for me And I just can't live without her My arms belong around her And I'm so glad I found her once again And I'm so glad I found her once again And I'm so glad I found her once again Gazing at the ceiling as we entertain our feelings in the dark The things that we're afraid of are gonna show us what we're made of in the end She likes me for me Not because I sing like Pavarotti Or because I am such a hottie I like her for her Not because she's phat like Cindy Crawford She has got so much to offer Why does she waste all her time with me There must be something there that I don't see She likes me for me Not because I'm tough like Dirty Hairy Make her laugh just like Jim Carrey Unlike the Cable Guy But what she sees Is that I can't live without her My arms belong around her And I'm so glad I found her once again Found her once again I'm so glad I found her once again On again |

I followed it half way around the world
It's obnoxious and absurd I dedicate myself too late To all the people who have heard The sound of the living gospel The promise of the living word That a fool like me can refuse to believe And to get what I deserve Take it on Take it on Arms and elbows Made to hold close Legs that follow Head that's hollow All that you know Is love must grow Or you will lose Or you will lose The hardest lesson that you learn Elimination of concern I realise the compromise It's the flicker not the burn It's easy living life on the outside To never have to wait for your turn But even a fool like me can refuse to believe And still get what I deserve |

Time may flow over realising goals that no one knows
And My friends- They'd never admit it though Because they can block it out and continue to roll on But Me- I know That everythings about to blow away For real this time and no one's watching. All of my life I've dreamed about it And now that it's gone I can't do without it All of life I've stood behind it Like trying to hide The Great Wall of China Flying above Heathrow Never dreamin of the time or my dwindling cash flow And I know- I never said That a European climb isn't starving my ego One thing- I know Is everything's about to blow away For real this time and no one's watching All of the time I waisted on it Preparing to see what the others think of it Keeping in mind I'm still above it But not very high because I'm only hovering All of my life I've stood behind it Like trying to hide The Great Wall By: Andrew Scott and the rest of Sloan |
