"On The Road To Findout"

"On The Road To Findout"


Well I left my happy home to see what I could find out
I left my folk and friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well I hit the rowdy road and many kinds I met there
Many stories told me of the way to get there
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
Well in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song saying not to worry
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
Then I found myself alone, hopin' someone would miss me
Thinking about my home, and the last woman to kiss me, kiss me
But sometimes you have to moan when nothing seems to suit ya
But nevertheless you know you're locked towards the future
So on and on you go, the seconds tick the time out
There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to findout
Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, 'cause there is no use in lying, lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil's sin, pick up, pick up a good book now

"One Day At A Time"

"One Day At A Time"


One day at a time
We can learn to leave the past behind
One day at a time
We can look the future in the eye
One day at a time
We can learn to live
The gates of the garden are open wide:
And the trusting 70 thousand will enter
Of them without reckoning
One day at a time
We can learn to leave our fears behind
One day at a time
We can stare our hopes in the eye
One day at a time
We can learn to live
And if you meet the evening
Don't wait for the Sun to rise
One day at a time
We can leave all treasures behind
One day at a time
We can watch the clocks unwind
One day at a time
A child is born into this world eyes blind
But one day he will find, his sight, and glimpse
Another kind of Light
To live by, one day
One day at a time
We can put machines behind
One day at a time
We can learn how birds survive
One day at a time
We can learn to fly

"Our Guide Is The Qur'an"


"All Muslims have to do five things. Who knows what they are?

"Shahadat, Saum, Salat, Hajj, and Zakat"

"Which means...?"

"Testimony of the Faith, Prayer, Charity, Fasting and Pilgrimage"

Our guide is the Qur'an
Our Religion is Islam
Five Noble Pillars upholding what is virtuous
To make the Testimony is the base of the Faith, and the Fast, and the Prayer, the Pilgrimage and Charity

"Peace Train"

"Peace Train"


Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you
Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true
Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss
Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

"Portobello Road"

"Portobello Road"


Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger
Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks
Lampshades of old antique leather
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
Or the boots made out of feathers
I'll keep walking miles 'til I feel
A broom beneath my feet
Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street
Nothing's the same if you see it again
It'll be broken down to litter
Oh, and the clothes everyone knows
That dress will never fit her
Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger
Cuckoo clocks, and plastic socks
Lampshades of old antique leather
Nothing looks weird, not even a beard
Or the boots made out of feathers
I'll keep walking miles 'til I feel
A broom beneath my feet
Or the hawking eyes of an old stuffed bull across the street
Nothing's the same if you see it again
It'll be broken down to litter
Oh, and the clothes everyone knows
That dress will never fit her
Getting hung up all day on smiles
Walking down portobello road for miles
Greeting strangers in indian boots,
Yellow ties and old brown suits
Growing old is my only danger

"Randy"

"Randy"


Oh Randy if they knew
I think they'd take me away
Just for loving you you
All alone in my own quiet way
Cause that's the way that I want it

Wish I could see you now
You and your cherry black eyes
My heart would never lie down down
Cause that's the way my arrow flies
And that's the way that I want it

You never said it would rain
You only told me that the sun would come again
You never said it would rain
Oh Randy if you did
It wouldn't mean a thing
It wouldn't hurt me a bit
Cause only you can break my wings
And that's the way that I want it

You drew my face in the sand
And ever since that day you made me what I am
You drew my face in the sand
Oh Randy if I could
There's nothing I wouldn't give
To live with you for good
Cause that's the way i'd like to live
And that's the way that I want it

Randy oh my Randy
Randy oh my Randy
Randy oh my Randy

"Roadsinger"

"Roadsinger"


Roadsinger came to town, long cape and hat
People stood and stared then closed their doors as he passed
He strolled the empty street, kids banged on tin cans
Then the panting dogs began to bark as the Roadsinger sang
Where do you go, where do you go, when hearts are closed?
When a friend becomes a stranger, nobody wants to know
Where do you go, where do you go, when the world turns dark?
And the light of truth is blown out and the roads are blocked?
He stopped by a stall, between the barrels and sacks
A child's face peeped out and gave a smile and ran back
Behind a misty glass, on a windowpane
A little finger drew a perfect heart and a name
Where do you go, where do you go, in a world filled with fright?
Only a song to warm you through the night
Where do you go, where do you go, after lies are told?
And the light of truth is blown out and the night is cold?
Roadsinger rode on to another land
Though the people spoke a different tongue it understand
They showed him how to share and took him by the hand
Showed him the path to Heaven through the desert sand
Where do you go, where do you go, to find happiness
In a world filled with hatred, cheers?
Where do you go, where do you go, if no one cares?
And everybody's lost looking for theirs?
