"Dig This Well Deep"

"Dig This Well Deep"


With one thing and another
Banged my head against the wall
Always looking over my shoulder
And it makes no sense at all

[Chorus:]
I'm going to dig this well deep
It's a promise I must keep
I'm going to dig this well deep
'Cos I want to find water
I'm going to dig this well deep
Going to sow before I reap
I'm going to dig this well deep
'Cos I want to find water

Cynics try to hold me in the graveyard of their egos
Put my dreams out with the trash man and they left me on a plateau

Holding on and keeping strong
When you are walking on a tightrope
Holding on and keeping strong
When you are wilted down to your last last hope

See it through to a conclusion even if it leads to nowhere
Sometimes there is no solution but the water tastes as good there

"Don't Always Look At The Rain"

"Don't Always Look At The Rain"




Some people I know have given up on their lives
Drowning their sorrows, and mumblin', and forgot the fight
We can tip the balance we can break those barriers down
Little things count as much as the big and turn it all around

And it's oh, don't always look at the rain
No, don't look at the rain

Some people I know have lost their feel for mystery
They say everything has got to be proved, this isn't a nursery
And Joseph who's five years old, stops fights in his playground yard
No more fights and bigotry, oh is it so hard

And it's oh, don't always look at the rain
No, don't always look at the rain
Ha, don't always look at the rain

And tell me, is it a crime to have an ideal or two
Evolving takes it's time, we can't do it all in one go
Doesn't have to drive us all mad, we can only do our best
Let the mind shut up, and the heart do the rest

"Don't Be Part Of It"

"Don't Be Part Of It"


Save
Save
Save from the butcher's knife
Save from the experiments

[Chorus:]
Don't be part of it
Don't be part of the killing
Don't be part of it
Don't be part of the killing

Save from the furriers' trap
Save from extinction

[Chorus]

Share a right to life

As long as there are the slaughterhouses
There will be battlefields
As long as animals die in testing
We won't find humanity

Save from the factory farms
Save from the cruelty

[Chorus]

As long as there are the slaughterhouses
There will be battlefields
As long as animals die in testing
We won't find humanity

[Chorus]

Save, don't be a part of it
Save, don't be part of the killing

"Dream Into Action"

"Dream Into Action"



Between every man there is a division
Nobody ever seems to get it right
Even between friends there is a long gap
One of them makes a mistake, there is a fight
Whatever you do you have the benefit of the doubt
Whatever I do please understand
Whatever we do let's make a pledge to put it right
So we can end the rule of the division

Putting the dream into action, into action
Putting the dream into action, into action

Whatever you like to do then let that be my pleasure
Whatever you like to say I'll try to understand
Whatever you do you have the benefit of the doubt
Whatever I do please understand
Whatever we do let's make a pledge to put it right
So we can end the rule of the division

Putting the dream into action into action

You are strong
We are strong
You feel it
We feel it
You are strong
We are strong
You are action

Putting the dream into action

"Dreamin' On"

"Dreamin' On"



I don't know but I've been told
There's a place where dreams are bought and sold
I'd like to steal me a dream with you
Together we can sail the oceans blue
Do you feel like I do?
Don't get me wrong
But I need your love

And I feel like dreaming on
But I wake to find you gone

Hope you like the things I say
I look forward to the day
When I can take you into my life
One day you just might say you'll be my wife
And I don't want to push
I don't want to rush you
But I need your love

And I feel like dreaming on
But I wake to find you gone
And I feel like dreaming...

Throw this caution to the wind
Be my lover, be my friend
If it goes wrong we'll start anew
What else are we going to do?

And I feel like dreaming on
But I wake to find you gone
And I feel like dreaming on
But I wake to find you gone
And I feel like dreaming on

"Elegy"

"Elegy"



Please don't look at me this way
I am from the same seed as you
Take me back to the womb
I am weary of this life

Don't believe in my eyes
Don't believe in my mind
Don't believe in right or wrong
Don't believe in cruel or kind

But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not to court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh

Oh the pain of life is sweet
Is it wrong to long for death?
Must I cling to the thrills of life
Ash to ash and dust to dust

But all this talk is only poetry
Only as true as we would believe
We must live to fight the negative
Not court the self in defeat oh oh oh oh
In defeat oh oh oh oh

You have looked at me this way
We are all from the same seed
Take us forward through the tomb
There's no finish to a life

"Empathy"

"Empathy"


You're feeling like a stranger...[x8]
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world
You're feeling like a stranger in your own world

Listen to the collective heartbeat
Listen to the collective heartbeat

Listen to the collective heartbeat
Listen to the collective heartbeat

Listen to the collective heartbeat

Choose a role to be happy in

 

[fox69]

"Equality"

"Equality"



Everybody wants to feel happy, even if you think that you don't
Everyone wants to know the secret, even if you think that you don't
Everybody thinks they're different from the next man now
But we just got to realize we're just the same

Always appear to be someone better
You know there will always appear to be someone worse
You know there'll always appear to be someone better
You know there'll always appear to be someone worse, oh

Everyone has got their character
Everyone has got their personality
But the longing is still the same
So what is the answer by easy on yourself
Make yourself feel at ease maybe that's the answer

Always appear to be someone better
You know there will always appear to be someone worse
Always appear to be someone better
You know there'll always appear to be someone worse, oh

We're just the same don't you know
We're just the same don't you know
Looking over there
He looks different, she looks different
They might even be different
But we're just the same, don't you know
We're just the same, don't you know
We're just the same
