Las luces de la ciudad me estan deslumbrando
tu no estas y yo me enamoro de vez en cuando Las luces de la ciudad me estan deslumbrando tu no estas y yo me enamoro de vez en cuando Anda portate como quieras ven conmigo que nadie nos espera anda, no promentas nada quitame la sed esta madrugada Yo soy igual que tu, y tu igual que todos mi unica virtud es mirarte a los ojos Para no mentirte, para no reclamarte nada para nunca herirte, pa'que no te vayas Para que no e juzgues, para verte siempre a la cara Para por si vuelves, pa'que no nos duela el alma Las luces de la ciudad me estan deslumbrando cuando el sol aparesca yo seguire so'ando Las luces de la ciudad me estan deslumbrando cuando el sol aparesca yo seguire so'ando Y es que.... Yo soy igual que tu, y tu igual que todos mi unica virtud es mirarte a los ojos Para no mentirte, para no reclamarte nada para nunca herirte, pa'que no te vayas Para que no e juzgues, para verte siempre a la cara Para por si vuelves, pa'que no nos duela el alma Y... Para no mentirte, para no reclamarte nada para nunca herirte, pa'que no te vayas Para que no e juzgues, para verte siempre a la cara Para por si vuelves, pa'que no nos duela el alma |

It's been a long and amazing time, how it's wasted is such a crime
And the stories we heard still echo in the distance Filled with promises and pain, we had everything to gain But the pride that comes before a fall is with us Lights are on and nobody's home, we've gone from color to monochrome Like some faded photograph with ghostly faces Whether enemy or a friend, it's the message that we send We will never change without until we change within Chorus: Back when the world was so young (when the world was young) To the day when the first song was sung (when the world was young) We chose our own way to black, white or gray When the world was young Are we learning from the past or has it all been already cast Who can change the course of a war against all reason There was one prevailing wind and we said we've got to make a stand And now the barrier's between us for a treason |

See the words appear on the wall
There for every man who's standing tall This water's pure, the well is so deep The only treasure that a man can keep Miles to go, and I feel the weight Of these chains that I create As I climb to the top of the hill It draws me still And I can't look back (Chorus) The heart keeps on burning Oh, wheels, wheels, don't slow down My soul keeps on yearning Oh, wheels, wheels, roll me homeward bound I'm looking through the eyes of a child Like the innocent and unbeguiled From the east, and far to the west Soldiers conquer in a royal quest One by one, as the seasons change I press on in a world so strange As I climb to the top of the hill It draws me still And I won't look back (Chorus) We are marching in time To the reason and rhyme As the glory of youth starts to fade There's no burden to bear For a debt that is already paid (Chorus) |

Well you told me that I was just not the one,
And you left me standing out in the cold It's been a long tiime and I'm so much better now, That I'm looking back and seeing it all and for the first time there's no pain in my life Though it's a long hardroad that I've gone We had a good thing and it made me a man cause I know CHORUS You got me goin', pardon me my feelings are showing I'm only saying what's on my mind Well I found you or maybe I found myself And I think we knew it all of the time We fit together just like a lock and a key And we opned up each other's minds Yeah, I was laughing 'cause there was no room to cry There waas too much growing to do We had a good time and it ain't over yet 'cause I know CHORUS You came from nowhere and you just jumped in my life and I know it never will be the same You made me love you and now I'm home once again No, I never want to leave you no more 'Cause I'm attached to the better half of myself And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be YOu filled an empty, you fixed a bad broken heart, and I know CHORUS |

Muchas razones esta noche
Para querer oir tu voz Para buscar por los rincones Un poquitito de calor Muchas mentiras hay afuera Muchas verdades en tu piel Quien tira la primera piedra nooooooooo No digas nada,olvida todo Solo ven ven ven Que esta noche las estrellas te iluminan Que se pierda la cordura entre tu y yo Son las cosas que nos da la vida Ven, Ven, Ven Muchas razones esta noche Para morir y renacer Y quien esta libre de culpa Noooo No digas nada Olvida todo Solo ven ven ven Que esta noche quiero estar entre tus brazos Y perder poquito a poco la razon Bajo la mirada de la luna Ven, Ven, Ven Si quieres me pierdo contigo Si quieres me olvido de ti Pero esta noche tengo frio Porque no te acercas a mi Ven, Ven, Ven Que esta noche las estrellas te iluminan Que se pierda la cordura entre tuy yo Son las cosas que nos da la vida Ven, Ven, Ven Que esta noche quiero estar entre tus brazos Y perder poquito a poco la razon Bajo la mirada de la luna Ven, Ven, Ven ay ay ay ay ay Ven, Ven, Ven ay ay ay ay ay Ven |

Buried deep under blood and skin
A whisper a tempest is raging from within I hold my breath bitter proud Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd I ponder incision envision the brain I beckon the surgeon to a slice against the grain now that I've waisted you the white room is pure the doctors are brave If there's a cure I want to be saved Sanctuary Under the knife sharp and shiny key Repair redeem resurrection Under the knife they'll cut you out of me Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife I have come to determine a reasonable doubt Where heaven and hell draw their boundary lines about Now that I've waisted you now that I've tasted you The white room had frost on the cold window pane Your love had been lost my love was in vain Sanctuary Cynical splices stitch and install Solder the filaments I feel nothing at all Second wind secrets let them rise let them fall I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl The gambler lives the blood stain dries It's time to forgive I open my eyes Sanctuary |

Well I been drinkin' again And I know it's a sin But I just can't refuse an old friend Cause life is gettin' me down And I been two times around And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend I'm not made for the time I'm born in the wrong century There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Now this old world is a fright You know my future ain't bright And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could Or maybe live out in space Or some other far away place And not come back to this earth till it's good Oh but I'm dreaming again I know that I'm here till the end There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes Well you might think that I'm all wrong The things I say in this song I really wish I could see it your way Cause there's a storm rollin' in And it just might be the end So I'm praying we'll all get away Now my cup is running dry The weight of the world gets me down There's too much craziness here In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes There's nowhere to turn So I'll just have to learn not to cry, no more It's all I can do till we find something new But I'll get by you know I'll try In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes |

Tomb 19 was sacred a thousand years or more
The Mayan king was restless a curse upon the door His shrouds of royal fabric his journey to be made To offer spirits good and evil 14 beads of jade The jade had ancient powers or so beliefs allege To anyone who plundered they would drive him to the edge If you take the treasures of Tomb 19 Let the curse remind you Take the treasures of Tomb 19 But never look behind you On the walls of limestone temples Were medallions carved in stone Describing what was waiting in the eerie catacombs Though time leaves them in ruins their silhouettes pervade To guard the kings and heroes and the 14 beads of jade If you take the treasures of Tomb 19 Let the curse remind you Take the treasures of Tomb 19 But never look behind you |

Three pretenders forced their entry
There wasn't time to defend or attack Somewhere inside I held their fury But one by one my defenses began to crack The first became a voice from my childhood Without a world to call his own Asking questions but doubting the answers And too confused to stand up and face it alone I can feel my body tremble Like an animal under the gun Can you feel your body tremble Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders The second came a shadowy hustler Selling anything not nailed to the groud He put a price on my resistance And if it's high, I know he'll be marking it down The third became a mysterious traveller Stormy words like sea-weathered sails His life was scarred with peaks and valleys A haunted kingdom crumbling against the gales I can feel my body tremble Like a child afraid of the dark Can you feel your body tremble Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders |

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss |

Seal no fate and hold no key
When all goes well spend some time remembering Know by now that times have changed But we feel each day can be deeper deeper It might be raining now But don't be scared you won't drown I'll hold you in my arms when the rivers rise Lay my heart besides your soul Don't let the tears blur the vision in your eyes Once my eyes get used to the dark I look around it's almost like I'm dreaming Shooting stars how they seem so close I feel your body it's moving breathing |

Sounds caress the waiting empty halls Pilgrims flock from miles around Seekers in the night abound All have come to feel the sound of joy Patient eyes are watching from below Mirror image flashing in the glow Hands are joinned in energy All approaching ecstacy Harnessing the power in the air Awesome in their patient majesty Pouring forth the fruits of harmony Hands are joined in energy All approaching ecstacy Harnessing the power in the air |

I've got books that say the good man's golden
And more that say the bad will fall, So many men have drowned in evil, and left Lucifer standing tall Don't take the devil's dare, don't gamble when the game ain't fair, Lock and bolt the doors, can't let the devil use you anymore You got to listen all you mugs and reivers, if you do any wrong You make it right You can't be a make-believer, 'cause soon you're gonna pay the price, Lying, hat and pain, all part of the devil game, Got his foot inside the door, but you can't let him use you anymore Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he'll take, he will take He will take, he will give nothing but he'll take Pray, for devils have no reason, Satan waits to curse your ways, Have you seen it in his eyes in the sunset, Have you wondered if he's laughing when you play, Has he asked if you're alone if what he sees is all you own, Has he offered you happiness, money, or much better lays Satan leave me, leave me lonely, leave us alone I've got books that say the good man's golden And more that say the bad will fall, Take a look at what the future's holdin', Won't be yours if you don't heed this call, Life is a game, and the stakes will remain the same. Now you've gotta choose, is the devil gonna win or lose again |

And more that say the bad will fall, So many men have drowned in evil, and left Lucifer standing tall Don't take the devil's dare, don't gamble when the game ain't fair, Lock and bolt the doors, can't let the devil use you anymore You got to listen all you mugs and reivers, if you do any wrong You make it right You can't be a make-believer, 'cause soon you're gonna pay the price, Lying, hate and pain, all part of the devil game, Got his foot inside the door, but you can't let him use you anymore Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he'll take, he will take He will take, he will give nothing but he'll take Pray, for devils have no reason, Satan waits to curse your ways, Have you seen it in his eyes in the sunset, Have you wondered if he's laughing when you play, Has he asked if you're alone if what he sees is all you own, Has he offered you happiness, money, or much better lays Satan leave me, leave me lonely, leave us alone I've got books that say the good man's golden And more that say the bad will fall, Take a look at what the future's holdin', Won't be yours if you don't heed this call, Life is a game, and the stakes will remain the same. Now you've gotta choose, is the devil gonna win or lose again |

The world began to change the children moved and they had children
It was all arranged you couldn't live there anymore All you had was that old place in the middle of the path of progress So they took the space and put the ceiling on the floor In one of the rooms all the walls were blue It was hidden so well that no one knew Just the place for taking in the view The View of the sea crisp and clear and neverending There your soul ran free there you spirit soared The View took you away to the boundaries of imagination Back to yesterday back to once before In one of the rooms all the walls were blue A mysterious space without a clue Just the place for taking in the View Long lives need no fortune Hard lives need no fame Young lives seek their freedom And old lives seek the same The world began to change and without a word of explanation Something very strange started beckoning to you When they came to mvoe your things you had packed a suitcase full of memories Nothing else to bring except a different point of View In one of the rooms all the walls were blue A mysterious space without a clue Just the place for taking in the View |

I can feel someone here
In the air tonight Waiting alone inside for survival Cruising this place Like flesh on a neon sign Brighten up my life tonight Before the candle flickers Stand beside me I will never let you fall Stand beside me I'll come whenever you call I will take it to the wall I had a life out here Like a rumble fish Waiting to drown like all of my rivals Hiding in rooms so hot To the human touch Choose your poison if you can Take this heart of mine and... Stand beside me I will never let you fall Stand beside me I'll come whenever you call I will take it to the wall |

The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on
The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same The difference between us is a part of the game Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun The dead are the living in the age of the gun While everyone clamors for the justice they seek The Word is corrupted and the strong take the weak They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain Though they may promise, they only bring pain The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke The less that you know the more you fall into place A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face Run for the cover, Millennium's here Bearing the standard of confusion and fear Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain Though they may promise, they only bring pain Blood in the sand, a cry in the street Now the cycle is nearly complete Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned No turning back, now the wheel has turned Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same The difference between us is a part of the game Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies What is this madness that is filling the skies Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain Though they may promise, they only bring pain |

Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder Chop the forest, plow it under.....

Your midnight invitation where your madness flows Fires of passion rage all night Angels falling out of the light Control undercover you can paralyze Every love is one more victim they never realize All their desires burn like a fever They want to run but they just can't leave her Secret Service Secret Service Do they know how you scream Secret Service passion - hunger Do they know how you scream I should have seen through her diguise She was a masquerade Cold kiss hungry eyes then she began to fade Feeling lost I want to be found Heaven's in hell DON'T LOOK DOWN Secret Service Secret Service Do they know how you scream Secret Service Secret Service Do they know how you cry Can they see your dreams Have they heard you sigh Or do you save it all for me in your SECRET SERVICE |

piel de duraznillo corazon de chocolate, alma de manzana que me invita al paraiso y un par de melones por que Dios asi lo quiso Por que te fuiste , cuando es que volveras; que cosa me diste, que no te he podido olvidar; no, no, no. Eres un tesoro escondido entre mi cama lluvia por la noche solecito en la manana. Aguita de coco, sirena en la playa. Mi sal mi pimienta, mi nina mimada. Por que te fuiste, cuando es que volveras; que cosa me diste, que no te he podido olvidar; no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Llevame, llevame a la luna, pa'rriba. Llevame, como tu ninguna. (sabor a chocolate) Me gusta vivir, me gusta sonar, que puedo pedir si he nacido pa' gozar. Tu boca es mi vicio, tu amor mi aeropuerto y mi pasaporte pa' subir al cielo. Por que te fuiste, cuando es que volveras; que cosa me diste, que no te he podido olvidar: bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, ye. Llevame, llevame a la luna, pa'rriba. Llevame, como tu ninguna.

In the time we spent together Many words have passed between And the feelings that we shared are all behind us now 'Cause a change has come upon me And I'm surly not the same There is so much more than what we feel and live every day (Chorus) Relentless, unchanging Though the world is still before me now I'm seeing forever I will keep my heart and mind with you So joyously I'm waiting for the day In a single timeless moment When the old was cast away The new was born into a world of simple joy And my life is still for living Though it's seen through different eyes And the knowledge of the truth's A burden easy to bear (Bridge) It's drawing so near It's shrouded in mystery Histories fall, the end of an age The feeling we're waiting for, hoping for Now, the time to come alive The end to which we strive Will soon arrive Now the gift is truly given If you only would receive For you're standing in the crossroads And you can't turn back Though we can't conceive forever And it's sometimes hard to care Our lives do not compare to what's awaiting us there |

Have you ever seen a miracle - you couldn't doubt or imitate
What's it really worth to you to shake the holy hand of fate Well I did what I could to make ends meet Been a gunrunner and a medicine man In a Kansas town I was a rainmaker - there the hand of fate got out of hand Rainmaker Rainmaker save this one horse town Rainmaker pray to heaven From the Flint Hills the land was cracked and dried Thirsty streets in misery I took the sign down that said medicine man Put one up that said rainmaker - that was me So the townspeople gave me money up front To light a fire - pray, and dance around Tell them it'd rain so they'd all go to bed And I'd make my break clean out of town But I started this dance and a storm kicked up The sky went black from coast to coast It was too late to stop - it was to late to pray I had summoned down the Holy Ghost Oh the searing wind and the clouds of dust And hell came raining down What came out of me and the powers that be Was the last of that one horse town |

When the sun is in the mid sky, he wears a golden crown
And he soaks the world with sunshine as he makes another round It's been a faster yeard than yesterday, all things that I had planned And when I think I might be gaining I'm in the sunshine once again Well I walk the road of life among the strong, among the weak And I ask them for the shortcut to the answers that I seek But it seems nobody understands what is and what will be Oh, the questions of my childhood weave a web of mystery Can you get me through these changes? Well I sure don't know about life, but one thng for sure All I need is you babe, we got to get the golden key to unlock the door I don't need to face a world of disillusion I've come to one conclusion that I know you know is true In the game of silent searching the cost of love is rising And I'm just now realizing I'd be better off with you It's a game that I've been living, now I Need to know what's real Can you help me find the answers, can you tell the way I feel? Will you stay with me forever, just stay with me tonight And we can talk about tomorrow if it all works out alright |

Se marcho sin avisar, azoto la puerta,
no me canso de buscar, alguna respuesta, no se si vuelva la verdad, la vida da tantas vueltas, pero me quema la ansiedad... Y dejo puertas abiertas, por si anduviera perdida, el corazon en la mesa, la cama dispuesta de noche de y de dia, y dejo puertas abiertas, por regresa algun dia, que por mas lejos que vaya, yo se que me extrana... Me dejo en medio del mar, sin chaleco a la deriva, se llevo mi vanidad, me clavo una espina, yo que jamas crei llorar, la vida da tantas vueltas, pero me quema la ansiedad... Y dejo puertas abiertas, por si anduviera perdida, el corazon en la mesa, la cama dispuesta de noche de y de dia, y dejo puertas abiertas, por regresa algun dia, que por mas lejos que vaya, yo se que me extrana... Y dejo puertas abiertas, por si anduviera perdida, el corazon en la mesa, la cama dispuesta de noche de y de dia, y dejo puertas abiertas, por regresa algun dia, que por mas lejos que vaya, yo se que me extrana... |

Suddenly you can't believe, the truth only leaves you cold Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror Something the world needs to hear but no one is even listening Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To back up the things you say Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To cut through the chains Breakaway Fortune can werar a disguise Pride is a grand illusion And when it's your name up in lights fate proves this one conclusion Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror Something the world needs to hear the truth only leaves you cold Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To back up the things you say Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To cut through the chains Breakaway Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To fight back and not be afraid Power It takes Power Power It takes Power To cut through the chains Breakaway All that you see someday will be Lost in the shadows of time Mountains must fall Someday this all Will be darkness where light used to shine All I Wanted You say it's time to stay behind All I wanted was to hold you All I wanted was to touch you No need for blame cause we're not the same All I wanted was to love you That's all I wanted How many times will it take Hurting me the way you do How many times till I break You're hurting me the way I'm loving you the way I do It's not so strange for us to change All I wanted was to love you That's all I wanted How many times will it take Hurting me the way you do How many times till I break You're hurting me the way I'm loving you the way I do |

He had a thousand ideas, you might have heard his name
He lived alone with his vision Not looking for fortune or fame Never said too much to speak of He was off on another plane The words that he said were a mystery Nobody's sure he was sane But he knew, he knew more than me or you No one could see his view, Oh where was he going to He was in search of an answer The nature of what we are He was trying to do it a new way He was bright as a star But nobody understood him "His numbers are not the way" He's lost in the deepest enigma Which no one's unraveled today But he knew, he knew more than me or you No one could see his view, Oh where was he going to And he tried, but before he could tell us he died When he left us the people cried, Oh where was he going to? He had a different idea A glimpse of the master plan He could see into the future A true visionary man But there's something he never told us It died when he went away If only he could have been with us No telling what he might say But he knew, he knew more than me or you No one could see his view Oh, where was he going to But he knew, you could tell by the picture he drew It was totally something new, Oh where was he going to? |

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today Was it you that said, "How long, how long?" They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave, Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of know return?" Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words: "How far to the point of know return, to the point of know return" "Oh Oh, how long, how long?" Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It wrote that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near Was it you that said, "How long, how long, how long To the Point of Know Return?" How Long? How Long to the point of no return?" No Return How Long? (Repeat and Fade) |

No me digas nada,
Que esta vida es pa´gozarla Baja ya la guardia Ve a la calle sin paraguas, Juega doble o nada Deja que la lluvia caiga y caiga, Sube las persianas Que no se si llegara manana. No me digas nada Que esta vida es tan extrana, Todo lo que pasa Puede ser un cuento de adas, Dame lo que guardas Deja que la lluvia moje tu alma, Sube la mirada Que este mundo gira no se para Y nunca digas que no, Halza la toalla Dale cuerda a tu reloj No pasa nada, Pinta tu raya No lo pienses mas Que la vida todo te da Que la vida todo te da. |

There are some who can still remember
All the things that we used to do But the days of our youth were numbered And the ones who survive it are few Oh, I can still see the smiling faces When the times were so good All in the old familiar places I'd go back if I could (to the) People of the south wind, people of the southern wind It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again Well, it's a hard thing to face the music: But it's something everybody has got to do So I hope that I can always remember All the crazy times we had to go through Now it's a dream that is slowly fading And I don't want it to go All of the memories are evading And I want you to know (it's the) People of the south wind, people of the southern wind It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again Now we've traveled all across the oceans And we've seen what there is to see But I guess it's not the proper solution Cause it's all about the same to me Now I look back and it makes me wonder Why we just couldn't see All of the battles we fought and won there And I wish that I could be with the People of the wind I want to see 'em again It's where we used to be free And that's the place for me It's just a state of my mind A thing that's so hard to find |

I went driving through my old hometown
It was Thursday the bright sun on the horizon I was surprised to see no one had burned it down It seemed so peaceful and warm Floods of memories came back to me All the things we got away with when we were younger And I felt kind of like a refugee Like a scattered pile of leaves in a storm Peaceful memory like lights on a Christmas tree Every hometown should be peaceful and warm Every father mother sister brother friend of the family Peaceful and warm Somehow now and then didn't seem to blend 'Till a farmer plowing his field waved hello Another working man doing the best he can I hope he is peaceful and warm Peaceful memory plows in the green field sea Every hometown should be peaceful and warm Every father mother sister brother friend of the family Peaceful and warm On the Kansas banks of the Muddy Mo' I threw rocks in the river and dreamed of running away In a wind of change only a father knows In a world so hectic so cold I guess my old hometown's kinda dead and gone Miss the sign on I-29 and you blow right by But it's a place I can go remember where I come from It will help me keep me peaceful and warm Peaceful memory the only thing that's free Take them and try to be peaceful and warm Every father mother sister brother friend of the family Peaceful peaceful and warm |

I'm on fire
Burning with the question in my mind Strange desire Seems there's nothing else for me to find 'Cause I've been here, and I've been there, Seems like I've been everywhere before I've seen it all a hundred times Still I think there surely must be more I've been livin', I had to take my time and change my style Now I wonder is something gonna make it all worthwhile I know there's more than meets the eye Like to see it 'fore I die for sure. Something tells me it's all right Only one step farther to the door There ain't no feelin', feels the same as findin' out the key Now I'm reelin', thinking of the things that I might see I'm not afraid to face the light I'm not afraid to think that I might fall I was going nowhere fast I was needing something that would last |

Ona crystal morning I can see the dewdrops falling
Down from a gleaming heaven, I can hear the voices call When you comin' home now, son, the world is not for you Tell me what's your point of view Hey there Mister Madman, what'cha know that I don't know Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away Tell me what made you that way CHORUS Here I am just waiting for a sign Asking questions, learning all the time It's always here, it's always there It's just love, and miralces out of nowhere Tell me now dear mother, what's it like to be so old Children grown and leavin', seems the world is growin' cold And though your body's ailin' you, Your mind is just like new Tell me where you're goin' to CHORUS It's so simple right before your eyes If you'll look throough this disguise It's always here, it's always there It's just love and miracles out of nowhere I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago No one ever listens, I just play and then I go Off into the sunset like the western heroes do Tell me what you're gonna do Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign All my life I knew that it was mine It's always here, it's always there It's just love anad miracles out of nowhere |

There's a reason for all that rhymes, it's the fact and the way of the times
Moving emotion, it's high and it's low, no matter where you go There is something for all who look, there's a story in every book All of the pages, between all the lines, so much that you can find But there's too many empty lives my friend And we just can't let them waste away For this life is a precious thing my friend And we can't wait another day There's a message in every word, and it's more than the word you heard Moving emotion, it comes like a sea, washing all over me But there's nothing that we can't do my friend, cause the spirit is with us all It's here and it's now, it's up and it's down You can feel it surrounding us all. After all its all the same, only difference is the name and where we are In this crazy mixed up deal, there's so many things to feel Near and far it's where you are And there's times when I can't contain all the feelings of love I'll gain There for the asking, it's for all of you if you would take it too But there's too many empty lives my friend And we just can't let them waste away For this life is a precious thing my friend And we can't wait another day |
