Lifeline-Mandisa

Here I am

Drowning in a sea of my own choices

Holdin to a hope by a thread

Yeah

I'm lookin round

I'm callin out, fear pulls me down

When the waters rush over my head

You are my lifeline

You are my rescue

Strength in my weakness

Light in my darkness

You are my safety

Lifter of my head

The air that I need when

I can't seem to breathe in

You are my lifeline

You are my lifeline

How many times

How many turns will it take till I learn

You reach for me in my need

And when I cry I will faithfully find you

When life comes crashin on me

You are my lifeline

You are my rescue

Strength in my weakness

Light in my darkness

You are my safety

Lifter of my head

The air that I need when

I can't seem to breathe in

You are my lifeline

You are my lifeline

Your there in my brokenness

And my distress

My rock when I'm stronger when I'm powerless

You hold me and rush when tides and waters rise

And I always find

You are my lifeline

You are my rescue

Strength in my weakness

Light in my darkness

You are my safety

Lifter of my head

The air that I need when

I can't seem to breathe in

You are my lifeline

You are my rescue

Strength in my weakness

Light in my darkness

You are my safety

Lifter of my head

The air that I need when

I can't seem to breathe in

You are my lifeline

You are my lifeline

You are my lifeline

You are my lifeline!

Temporary Fills-Mandisa

People goin on and on

They don't know what they got wrong

This world won't keep you satisfied

You gotta buy this

Wear this, drive that car

'Cause that's the kind of thing

That makes you who you are

But don't keep throwin that my way

No more temporary fills

I want a love that's real

Take everything I have and fill me up inside

I'm done looking for the quick fix

Jesus your love is all I'll ever need

No more temporary fills

I've turned every rock and stone

Gone everywhere there was to go

But I only felt better for a while

'Cause nothin can replace you

Erase you from my heart

And that's the kind of thing

That makes you who you are

Your the reason I can say

No more temporary fills

I want a love that's real

Take everything I have and fill me up inside

I'm done looking for the quick fix

Jesus your love is all I'll ever need

And nothin temporary could ever make me

Feel the way you do

'Cause what you've given to me

I know that it will last my whole life through

Woah

No more temporary fills

I want a love that's real

Take everything I have and fill me up inside

I'm done looking for the quick fix

Jesus, your love is all I'll ever need

No more temporary fills

No more

No more

No more

No more hidin'

Just Cry-Mandisa

Why you gotta act so strong?

Go ahead and take off your brave face

Why you telling me that nothing's wrong

It's obvious your not in a good place

Who's telling you to keep it all inside

And never let those feelings

Get past the corner of your eye

You don't need to run

You don't need to speak

Baby take some time

Let those prayers roll down your cheek

It maybe tomorrow

You'll be past the sorrow

But tonight it's alright

Just cry

I know you know your Sunday songs

A dozen verses by memory

Yeah they're good but life is hard

And days get long

You gotta know God can handle your honesty

So feel the things your feeling

Name your fears and doubts

Don't stuff your shame and sadness, loneliness and anger

Let it out, let it out

You don't need to run

You don't need to speak

Baby take some time

Let those prayers roll down your cheek

It maybe tomorrow

You'll be past the sorrow

But tonight it's alright

Just cry

Just cry

It doesn't mean you don't trust him

It doesn't mean you don't believe

It doesn't mean you don't know

He's redeeming everything.

You don't need to run

You don't need to speak

Baby take some time

Let those prayers roll down your cheek

It maybe tomorrow

You'll be past the sorrow

But tonight it's alright

But tonight it's alright

Just cry

Why you gotta act so strong

Go ahead and take off your brave face

Children Of The World-Bee Gees

We are children of the world - watching every day go by

Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down

Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way

Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm

Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born

To the very last day when the curtains are drawn

We are children of the world - asking every question why

From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting

We are faces in the night - watching every day go by

Changes my life, changes your life - there ain't no easy way

In the back of your mind there is always a mark

There's a wandering solo alone in the dark

You can keep it forever or tear it apart

We are children of the world - watching every day go by

Changing my life, changing your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world - watching every day go by

Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm

Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born

Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn

We are children of the world - watching every day go by

Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world - watching every day go by

Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating

The Way It Was-Bee Gees

I don't know how, but nights get lonely now

They keep appearing in my eyes

Such a warm and tender glow

For just one moment I remember all

The love we had was never all that bad

There were smiles and there were tears

On that special starry night, with your arms around me

Held on tight

Wasn't that the way it was?

Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause

Wasn't that the love we shared?

Or just the restless years when no-one cared

I don't know why, it's hard to say goodbye

Or even justify the end

You meant so very much to me

Then to let you go, start my life again

The love we had was never all that bad

There were smiles and there were tears

Till that special summer day

When I reached out for you, you just walked away

Wasn't that the way it was?

Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause

Wasn't that the love we shared?

Or just the restless years when no-one cared

When you move it like you really know how to move me

I follow you wherever you go

I just wan

Subway-Bee Gees

Ooh, take me to the subway

It ain't far away, but the night is mine, like it fine, gonna stay

See you in the morning, gotta rush, et a bus, make a fuss

Gimme some loving in the morning

Ooh, she makes me feel so good, instant reaction and ready for love

I got no work, no sweat, no strain

I got to make it to the midnight train

so take me to the subway

Ooh, city life is bittersweet

I don't care, take me there on the sstreet, freedom in the city

Gotta ride, goin' down underground, watch me slide, loving in the city

Ooh, she makes me so complete, heavy in love and light on my feet

I got no work, no sweat, no strain

I got to make it to the midnight train

So take me to the subway

Ooh take me to the subway.

Love Me-Bee Gees

I remember times my love when we really had it all

You were always there to make me smile, help me when I fall

Ooh, I can't believe you're leaving me

When there's so much more to say - I can't let you go

Ooh , ev'ry time I look at you I still can feel the glow

Let it be, let it grow

Love me , please , just a little bit longer

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Love me , please , just a little bit harder

All I ever wanted was to have you to myself

Then I see you standing there in the arms of someone else

You know a man can stand so much

And it's more then I can bear - I can't let you go

Ooh, ev'ry time I look at you I still can feel the glow

Let it be , let it grow

Love me , please, just a little bit longer

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Love me , please, just a little bit harder

Never even try to see things her way

It's hard on a woman when love ain't no love at all

And when she walks away (no no) - and she probably will

You're gonna be sorry, begging her , please

Love me , please, just a little bit longer

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Love me , please, just a little bit harder

I think I can work it out

I can't get enough

I want you tomorrow

Love me , please, just a little bit longer

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Love me , please, just a little bit longer

Together we can make it

Our love is much too young to break it

Love So Right-Bee Gees

She came on like the night and she held on tight

And the world was right when she made love to me

We were free

She moved in like a friend , started loving me

And I thought I'd found my heaven in her arms

But the morning when I woke up

I was here and she was gone

Now I'm hanging on

Maybe you can tell me how a love so right can turn out to be so wrong

Where did she go when I need her close to me

And the perfect story ended at the start

I thought you came forever and you came to break my heart

Now I'm hanging on , on the chance that you'll come back to me

How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling

How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling

I could take it in my stride

Start living for the moment

Maybe half the things we sought were never there

Simply open up our eyes and break it down to size

It isn't really fair

How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling

How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling

How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling [repeat/fade]

You Stepped Into My Life-Bee Gees

You stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so happy.

And I'm oh, so happy.

You stepped into my life,

Stepped into my life

Stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so happy.

You stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so.

Before you came my way

I always checked this out;

So much pain in love

And so alone inside.

I never thought

that I'd believe in love so much.

But darling when you came close to me,

Suddenly, suddenly

You stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so happy.

You stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so happy.

You stepped into my life,

Stepped into my life

Stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so happy.

You stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so.

You will never know

What you have done, my love.

You gave me so much more

My love is worthy of.

Beneath my very soul

I kneel before your touch.

Your touch is ecstasy,

Close to me.

Suddenly, suddenly

You stepped into my life,

Stepped into my life

Stepped into my life

And I'm oh, so happy.

You stepped into my life...

Baby As You Turn Away-Bee Gees

Here am I one sad and lonely guy,

one shadow of the man I used to be.

Now it's past, the love I thought would last;

you thought I had you chained,

and now you're free.

I know it's wrong but I'm still holding on,

still praying you will soon come back to me.

But then you go, you let your feelings show;

you said I gave you pain, and now I see.

But baby, as you turn away

I will always think of what we had together.

Baby, this is just your way of breaking my heart.

And it's easier to say goodbye,

making me fall, making me try, try to make

you stay as you turn away.

Now you're gone, this road I walk upon is just

another place where I can hide.

I'm still your man, there's proof of who I am;

except without your love I'm dead inside.

But baby, as you turn away

I will always think of what we had together.

Baby, this is just your way of breaking my heart.

And it's easier to say goodbye,

making me fall, watching me try, try to make

you stay as you turn away.

Edge Of The Universe-Bee Gees

Just my dog and I

at the edge of the universe.

Well, I didn't wanna bring her

and I know it'll make her worse.

Now I look out on forever

and it must be nice down there.

And they call me Shenandora in the air.

Well, I'm ten feet tall,

but I'm only three feet wide.

And I live inside an ocean that flows

on the other side.

If I came back down tomorrow,

would it all be far too soon?

And it looks like it's gonna be a lovely afternoon.

I thought that I was going home,

and all the way I kept on prayin'.

I couldn't stop to turn around;

well, here I am and here I'm stayin'.

It's been my longest journey

and I've come through the black of night.

I was tired and hungry

when I saw your distant light.

Well, I know this may sound crazy,

but I'm sure I got here first.

I'm just me, Shenandora,

at the edge of the universe.

I thought that I was going home,

and all the way I kept on prayin'.

I couldn't stop to turn around;

well, here I am and here I'm stayin'.

Just my dog and I

at the edge of the universe.

Well, I didn't wanna bring her

and I know it'll make her worse.

Now I look out on forever

and it must be nice down there.

And they call me Shenandora in the air.

At the edge of the universe...

Come On Over-Bee Gees

Country Lanes-Bee Gees

All This Making Love-Bee Gees

About an hour or more, when I go upstairs, you can read between the lines

I can make it to the top, but then I gotta stop

But I'm all right, I'm really fine

It's just the wine and all this making love

In a day or so, it'll really show, gonna wear me to the ground

It's just the way it goes, she keeps me on my toes

But I'm all right, and should I mind

It's just the wine and all this making love

And I can't keep still, gonna make a will, 'cause I'm losing all my hair

I try to make it seem it isn't just a dream

And I'm all right, I'm almost there

It isn't fair to wake up all this making love

I get pleasure and pain, it's a gravy train, it's a wonderland, it's a ride

And the rumor is I'm told, she's really got a hold

And I'm all right, I'm really fine

It's just the wine and all this making love

She'll be making me strung by the tip of my tongue like a tiger in a cage

She's got me up a wall, I'm slowing to a crawl

But I'm all right, I'm really fine

It's just the wine and all this making love.

Too much too much too much too much...

Fanny (Be Tender With My Love)-Bee Gees

Songbird-Bee Gees

Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird, like you did before

Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open

And the wind is waiting for you like an open door

Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well

You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are

When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly

I wonder if he ever will - and if he really did, how far

Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird, like you did before

Though your wings are broken the sky is so wide open

And the wind is waiting for you like an open door

Though you go so far away, your voice will still be heard so well

You'll never really ever know how beautiful you are

When the moon is on the rise I'll try to make my songbird fly

I wonder if he ever will - and if he really did, how far

Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong bird

You will go on and on, bird, through the open door

Go on with your song, bird - you can't go wrong my bird

You will go on and on, bird, like you did before

Like you did befo

Wind Of Change-Bee Gees

In the streets of New York City

ev'ry man can feel the cold.

And I don't want no pity,

but I want my story told.

When the lights shine down on me,

they shine on the little boy.

Is this way to make him pay;

be'ng born in a world of joy.

But like me

he don't know where he'll go wrong;

he won't cry so many tears

till he finds out why he don't belong like me.

there's no room for us out there;

you can lose your hope and pride.

When it comes to broken dreams

you'll get your share.

Sometime a man breaks down,

and the good thing he is looking for

are crushed into the ground.

Get on up, look around;

can't you feel the wind of change?

Get on up, taste the air;

can't you see the wind of change;

Don't you understand what I'm sayin',

we need a god down there.

A man to lead us children,

take us from the valley of fear.

Make the lights shine down on us,

show us the road to go.

Help us survive, make us arrive,

teach us what we need to know.

But like me

he don't know where he'll go wrong;

he won't cry so many tears

till he finds out why he don't belong like me.

there's no room for us out there;

you can lose your hope and pride.

When it comes to broken dreams

you'll get your share.

Sometime a man breaks down,

and the good thing he is looking for

are crushed into the ground.

Get on up, look around;

can't you feel the wind of change?

Get on up, taste the air;

can't you see the wind of change;

Get on up ...

Jive Talkin'-Bee Gees

Nights On Broadway-BeeGees

Canada-Dan Hill

Fancy hotel rooms

Windows with a view

Staring into nothing

I thought I saw you

Your colours dancing in my mind

But they were only neon signs

Oh canada

I'm trying to find you

Will you wait for me.

There's people on the street

I know I'll never meet

I wonder what they're thinking

What their dreams are

But they just keep on walking by

I can see the questions in their eyes

Oh canada

You're a tree among towers

Just starting to climb

Please don't grow too quickly now

Don't leave us all behind

Pages of progress start to turn

Too quickly and the pages burn

Let's hope that we don't learn - too late

Let's hope it's never too late to learn

No don't let the madness wash you way.

Life keeps rolling by

Before it goes I'll try

To be stronger - to be wiser

Maybe just understand

What makes people fight to survive

While by themselves they slowly sigh

Oh canada -

Where are you going

Will you wait for me

Oh canada

I'm trying to find you

Will you wait for me

Caroline--Dan hill

Well I've been way so long

I'm too numb to dislike it

And la's one big hit song

I never learned to fight it

Dear caroline

It never meant to go this far

It started out to be a game

I never meant to be a star.

And everybody smiles

But their eyes stare out so empty

From a face they scrub with dial

And the words that spill so fancy

Dear caroline

I thought my songs would change the world

Instead of slowly getting rich

Off the emotions of young girls.

[Chorus:]

And what really makes me laugh

Is that nothing's really changed

Since that day I left you years ago

To find myself a name

And what really makes me cry

Is that it's only an illusion

And all that success means

Is just money and confusion.

I've been told you settled down

Found yourself a family

I'll send my latest record down

The critics tell me that it's happening

Dear caroline

There's nothing really left to say

I hope you still remember me

After the songs all fade away.

[Repeat chorus]

Question Marks In Time-Dan Hill

Washed out in the stillness of the night

She's left searching

Once again love's promise has been broken

And he snores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathing

As she lights a cigarette and waits for morning

Light years apart - they lie both together

Like a child caught playing with matches

She's been burned again by fire

And she knows she's been betrayed by her own imagination

The cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire.

[Chorus:]

And she thinks

She's the only one who's lonely

And she wants the world to feel sorry

And she's trapped

Within her own self pity

And she asks: will anybody love me.

And on the radio an old song sings

Suggesting that love is why we're living

As she turns the station fast.

She looks down at her lover

A friend of a friend of a stranger

As if his mouth might breathe an answer

And she knows she's getting older

The emptiness controls her

And the smoke curls round her fingertips

Like question marks in time

The sun plays with the windows

As the man wakes up beside her

Silences are awkward as he reaches for his clothes

And as he leaves

She feels suspended, invaded and rejected

The cigarette is ended

That's how her story goes

[Repeat Chorus]

And on the radio a new song sings

Suggesting that love is why we're living

Ironically she laughs

As she turns the station fast

She's given up on giving

Washed out in the stillness of the night

She's left searching

All Alone In California-Dan Hill

He caught her signal

As she strolled in the bar

Amidst all the lonely people

Out to prove they're popular

And he came upon her slowly

Not sure of what to say

Trying to sound clever - but words got in the way

Conversation wandered -

Though their eyes seldom met

They both knew what they were after

And they played it step by step

And his mind was getting foggy

The drinks were coming fast

Momentary friendship - with no future and no past

[Chorus:]

All alone in California

Looking for some fun

His eyes were feeling heaving

He kind of wished that he could run

The colours started spinning

As she kissed away his doubts

The night was just beginning

As his body began to melt¡­

She watched the sunrise

While he slept in dreams unknown

And she wondered what his name was

Though she barely knew her own

And she slowly started crying

Though she wasn't white sure why

Trying to fight an emptiness

That haunted her insides.

[Repeat chorus]

Phonecall-Dan Hill

Phone broke the silence of the night

I'd been sleeping

And a voice said, "how you doing dan

Thought I'd call you for no reason."

And my mind flashed back two years

Since the last time I'd see her

When the love we'd shared had died

And she said, "things are going well for you

I'm glad you still have music

I remember times you felt so damned confused

I thought you'd lose it

Do you still make crazy faces

At the mirror in the morning

How come you never said goodbye."

[Chorus:]

I chose my words so carefully

But I felt my past seducing me

"slow down", she said

"I just want to be your friend"

I said, "that's the way the whole thing started

And I just can't fall in love with you again

Knowing it'll end."

And all I heard was silence

And I wished she was beside me

Like the first time we made love

And I felt waterfalls inside me

So I tried to dial her number

But my fingers froze

And slowly - I closed my eyes

[Repeat chorus]

Rain-Dan Hill

And the rain keeps falling

From the clouds in your eyes

As we try to hang on

To the time that's passed us by

And the deeper our love

The harder we cry.

You and I both slaves

To some far away dreams

That binds us as one

Then divide us it seems

That the deeper our drifting

The harder we try

[Chorus:]

And life goes on I suppose

And love can fade

As fast as it grows

Times they may shake us

But nothing can break us

You now.

The trees are still standing

The water stays still

The air tastes so lonely

I fight off a chill

Let this song bid goodbye

Until we return

[Repeat chorus]

And the rain keeps falling

From the clouds in your eyes

As we try to hang on

To the time that's passed us by

And the deeper our love

The harder we cry.

City Madness-Dan Hill

Wake up to the madness of the city
Say hello it's a brand new day
Brush my teeth read the paper
Everything is changing so fast it stays the same
Cars attack the city street
City sidewalk - city heat
People push and people fly
No one laughs and no one cries
Someone save me.

Look up - an office building
Stares right back indignantly
Look down - my feet keep moving
Shuffling to the city's endless beat
Billboards tell me what to buy
How to dress and how to die
Traffic signals starts to change
Madness starts all over again
Someone save me.

[Chorus:]
My doctor says I need a brief vacation
Wife says it's just a stage, I'll be alright
Boss says I've got too much imagination
Papers tell me rain again tonight.

Wake up to the madness of the city
Close my eyes and fly to mars
A man jolts my arm I swing out madly
He swings back and I see stars
I curse my world beneath my breath
I curse myself I curse what's left
People push - people fly
No one laughs - no one cries
Someone save me

[Repeat chorus]

I've Been Alone-Dan Hill

And I've been along - most of my life
I guess it hurt me

But never have I felt so less alone
I beg you darling
Don't desert me

And some believe in love
And some believe it's misplaced feelings
And me - I always change my mind
So many words have lost all meaning

[Chorus:]
And still you come for me
Your eyes too blurred by love
To know just what you see

You make me weak
You make me strong
It's all the same
We share a breath of happiness
We share the pain
Always changing

And I give to you
All I am - all I will be
Life goes by so fast
Together let's grown slowly

[Repeat chorus]

And I've been alone - most of my life

Proposal-Dan hill

Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just some flowers
My family just moved in around the corner
Will you be my friend
I touched her on the shoulder
She was fourteen I was barely older

Take it if you will
Take it if you can -
Or refuse it - I will understand
It's just a key
My parents are going away for the weekend
Will you stay with me
It felt my body trembling
High school days were nearly at an end then

[Chorus:]
Time was a blur of emotions
Spinning so fast

And time was a rocket engine
With no end and no beginning
But all time stopped when she said "yes"

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it - you know I'll never ask again
It's just a ring
At best it's just a symbol of everything
If I can share my life with you
Standing naked in my fear
I could not face her
Then I broke down - my arms embraced her

[Repeat chorus]

Take it if you will
Take it if you can
Or refuse it
That's how our lives began

Hold On-dan hill

So you flung your fist high in the air
But the world remained the same
And all the demonstrations
Filtered out through graduation
And the times that were a changing
Never changed
Freedom takes on new meaning
When you have a family of five
And peace and revolution dissolved in its own solution
When you're fighting for your life
Just to survive

It's then you've gotta

Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Each and every day
When the night creeps in so hollow
When the silence makes you scream
When you're so damned scared of failure
When the world's burned out it's saviors
When you're feeling too vulnerable to dream

It's then you've gotta
Hold on - for what you believe in
Hold on - don't let it fade
Still you've gotta
Be strong - find yourself a reason
You never change the world
But just the same
You've gotta hold on stronger
Or else you'll fade

People-Dan Hill

Now there are people

That fall - into my life

Each one can change my world

So slightly

And everyone so different

Yet so much the same

Each and everyone so deep

Inside me

[Chorus:]

I love I hate

I live I die

For every single day

That passes me by

But for all the pain

That meets my eyes

I still believe in people

Now I've been called naive

Just a reckless dreamer

Destined to drown

In all my feelings

Yet I keep on smiling through my tears

Juggling wonderment with tear

Just trying to find some meaning

[Repeat chorus]

There are times when I feel

Like giving it all up

I'll look into myself and see a stranger

Oh and nothing can seem stranger

But I know

I'll come around

And like the fool I am

I'll see this world so much stronger cause that's the way my life lights spins

Until the day it dims

Until my life will be no longer

[Repeat chorus]

I Dreamt I Saw Your Face Last Night-Dan Hill

As I gaze into the sky

There's a shooting star that's falling

As it dwindles into floating dust

My name I hear it calling

Oh god I'd love to be free

But there's something wrong, you see

I can't make it

Just with me

I'm lonely...

Well I dreamt I saw your face last night

Just an image in the long

While falling through space I felt

Just you and me

And God

I just don't know if I can believe in you

The dreamer deep inside me

Surely wants me to

If only dreams come true

At times I get this feeling

That there's more to my life then greets my eyes

Just a crazy kind of feeling

Then I take a look around

This world's falling down

Only a clown could believe ...believe

Well everyone's had hopes I guess

On how the world should be

Everyone's had dreams that just elude reality

Oh and god Your name's been used

For politics for power

God your name's been used

For all the love that towers

But has yet to fall - upon us all

Well I dreamt I saw your face last night...

You Say You're Free-Dan Hill

You say you're free

Well your freedom's killing me

And I feel just like a statue

To be admired from a distance

My love collides with your resistance

Then bounces back inside of me

You say you're strong

Well your strength just shatters me

As I scramble for my pieces

But the puzzle keeps repeating

It seems so self-defeating

How we plan each move so carefully

[Chorus:]

And still we both hang on

We risk a night and greet the down

AN affair for you - for me a song

Then suddenly it's over

Two cynics passing through

I blew it - I fell in love with you

The thing I swore I'd never do

And now m love just turns you colder

you say you're trying to find yourself

Well I know how hard that is

And I wish that I could help you

To share while like keeps teaching

To share while you keep reaching

But you prefer to reach out privately

[Repeat Chorus]

you say you're free

Well you freedom's killing me

And I feel just like a statue

to be admired from a distance

My love collides with your resistance

Then bounces back inside of me

The pattern goes on endlessly

Sour Whiskey-dan hill

Hand me down another whiskey sour

I'm a willing victim to it's spell

And I just can't rebel

I'm far too thirsty and too tired

Hold me like you'd hold a broken soldier

Who's forgotten the meaning of war

Please don't' close that door

I'm about as pure as a children's choir

Sunshine

Can you spread your warmth over me

Chase the clouds from the sky casually

Make me feel like a child

Once again

Sunshine

How does it feel lost in the sky

Is it dizzy looking down from that high

Well you know

You've always got a friend

One more drink and this day'll be over

I can already feel the cold

My jacket I sold

For fifteen dollars worth of booze

One more drink and I'll be off on some

Rainbow

Looking down at this world below

I'm so high that I'm low

But this is the only life I'd choose

Nobody's Right-Dan Hill

The boy left for new york

He left the woods and trees behind

And no one knows just what's on his mind

He says he's lost - he'll pay any cost

Just to find out where he belongs

But the girl left for the country

She left those blaring lights behind

And no one knows just what's on here mind

She says she's lost - she'll pay any cost

Just to find out where she belongs

[Chorus:]

Nobody's right - nobody's wrong

Everybody's searching

We're all searching for where we belong

The boy lives in a high rise now

He's neighbours with the sky

The mirror in the hallway keeps asking

Why

The silence knows

- that the change will help him grow

Help him to find where he belongs

The girls lives in a cabin now

She gazes at the sky

The shooting stars keep falling

They keep on asking why

The silence knows

The change will help her grow

Help here to find where she belongs

[Repeat chorus]

Growing Up-Dan Hill

Ma cried like a lady

Pa cried like a man

1963 - one less kennedy

And I was too young to understand

And the years flew by in colours

Each one a little faster than before

And as the war caused some to cry

I'd identify

My tv keeping score

Growing up - in the shadow of the u.s.a.

Trying to find - the meaning of life today

America - it's a heavy kind of role you

Play

You're the hero - you're the villain

Your every move is on display

Ma cried like a lady

Pa cried like a man

1963 - one less kennedy

And I was too young to understand

We were all too young to understand

Seed Of Music-Dan Hill

The seed of music within me
Has bloomed into a flower
And though it claims to set me free
I'm lost within it's power
Lord don't let this crazy world
Make a jukebox out of me
Let the songs keep flowing
Strong and naturally

The gift of music is the key
To all my tears my laughter
And though it claims to set me free
It reigns my life as master
Lord don't let this crazy world
Make a jukebox out of me
Let the songs keep flowing

Strong and naturally

And oh let me say this peacefully
Forget the dreams forget the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all

And oh let me say this peacefully
Forget the dreams forget the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all
And ho let me say this forcefully
Forget the dreams erase the fantasies
Let me make it honestly
Or not at all

[Repeat chorus]
