"Every Day Of My Life"

"Every Day Of My Life"


With every day of my life
I can surely see now where I am going
And every day of this year
I can clearly see I ain't wasted any time
No time at all

With everyday of my life
I've tried so hard to keep it on going (how can I keep it on going)
But other people around keep on draggin' me down to the ground
Drag me down to the ground
They don't know, move too slow

With everyday of my life
I am slowly growing tired of excuses
And every question I raise
Getting nothing but hurt and abuses
From your mind
Don't mind at all
I don't mind at all, no no

Don't know why life's hard for us 'cause we sure do try
Forget your cares and worries, you know that we'll get by
Yes, we'll get by

Don't need your help or sympathy
Ain't getting down on bended knee
Sooner or later you'll discover
Don't turn your back on your own brother

With every day of my life
I can surely see now where I am going
And every day of this year
I can clearly see I ain't wasted any time
No time at all

"Every Time I Turn Around"

"Every Time I Turn Around"


On a cold December mornin', when my demons take control,
And the rain turns into thunder, somewhere in my soul,
You are the asylum, in the madness of my day,
In a world without much kindness, somehow I always find the way.

Every time I turn around,
I can see your shadow right there on the ground,
And every time I call your name,
I can hear a voice that I can't explain,
When I find myself in a faceless crowd,
I know you're right behind me baby, every time I turn around.

In the struggle for survival, every day becomes a year,
How to keep a cool perspective, isn't always very clear,
I need all the shelter, your lovin' can provide,
Like a bridge across the raging river, take me to the other side.

Every time I turn around,
I can see your shadow right there on the ground,
And every time I call your name,
I can hear a voice that I can't explain,
When I find myself in a faceless crowd,
I know you're right behind me baby, every time I turn around,
Every time I turn around.

If an ocean stands between us, and my heart begins to pound,
I know you're right behind me baby, every time I turn around.
Every time I turn around,
I can see your shadow right there on the ground,
And every time I call your name,
I can hear a voice that I can't explain,
When I find myself in a faceless crowd,
I know you're right behind me baby, every time I turn around.

"Face In The Crowd"

"Face In The Crowd"


Is this the night I finally will see you?
Is this the time I've waited for so long?
Night after night I play this show without you
Can't help but think about you in every song

Back in the wings somebody says "five minutes"
And soon the lights will dim out in the hall
I check the mirror, at the side of the stage I'm waiting
Ready to meet the one I want most of all

[Chorus:]
I see your face in the crowd and I am crazy for you
You see me crying out loud
Millions of faces, a sea before me,
I can see only you are the face in the crowd

With every song I really get to know you
A crowd of one, though there's 20.000 more
We are alone in the midst of all this madness
Will you be there when I walk out the backstage door?

[Chorus]

Before I know it the show's at its conclusion
I close my eyes on this visual love affair
And as I leave the theatre crowds are waiting
I turn to sign the last book and you are there

[Chorus]

"Fall From Paradise"

"Fall From Paradise"


Down by the Jordan it's early in the morning
The sun is in the sky all the people pass by
There's magic in the air, some stop to stare
At a man who says he cares

People came from miles to hear what he had to say
Some of them believed in him and some just walked away
He tried to explain, our fall from paradise was meant to be
Disbelief showed in their eyes, drowning out his distant cries

I'm telling the truth to you, brother
Telling it true to you, sister
Go tell the truth to the others
All over the land

Now we're here on the planet to live
We're able to love and we're able to give
There's a lot going down, some win and some lose
Still we're able to choose

But think of the times you cry in the night
Kicked through the years, there is no choice, we have to fight
Through it all the world goes on, it's another day
People rushing to a fro, counting hours as they go

I tried to explain our fall from paradise was meant to be
It's written down for all to hear
There's not much time, the time is near

I'm telling it true to you, brother
Telling it true to you, sister
Go tell the truth to the others

I'm telling it true to you, brother
Telling it true to you, sister
Go tell the truth to the others
All over the land
Yeah, yeah

"Forever Blue"

"Forever Blue"


Sometimes I wish I was a sailor
Way out on the stormy sea,
Far away from the city and all this misery,
And I wish that I could tell you just how much you mean to me,
No matter where I run to,
I'll never lose your memory.

Sometimes I close my eyes and drift away,
I can't forget the things I didn't say,
I chose a life that took me away from you,
And I will be forever blue.

When you wake up in tomorrow and I'm no longer by your side,
Just don't think too much about me and of the many times you've cried,
And wherever you may wander may good fortune be your guide,
Go find another lover, one who'll never leave your side.

Sometime I close my eyes and drift away...

I chose a life that took me away from you, and I will be forever blue.

"Forever You Forever Me"

"Forever You Forever Me"


I’ve hear your lies and reality
Let’s face the lessons of the life we live
For you and I, no recovery
We’re both screaming for more than the other could give

Still, you’re there, deep in my heart
In memories alive and dreams
So many emotions but the truth cuts clean
Forever you, forever me

We only had peace
But we fought for it all
Wild intensity
Longing to meet each other’s needs
Forever you, forever me

We were hanging on the edge of heaven and all
Our bitter hour was oh, so sweet
Taking the long way around
Knowing there’s a cost for promises we can’t keep

Still, you’re there, deep in my heart
In memories alive and dreams
So many emotions but the truth cuts clean
Forever you, forever me

We only had peace
But we fought for it all
Wild intensity
Longing to meet each other’s needs
Forever you, forever me

We only had peace
But we fought for it all
Wild intensity
Longing to meet each other’s needs
Forever you, forever me

Forever you, forever me

"Full Circle"

"Full Circle"


We are riding on our rainbow, it's nearly at an end,
It was given as a promise to each and every man,
It's a long time since we started and the days left now are few,
It seems the words sent long ago were true.

Life goes on forever, but it changes like the tide,
There's a meaning for existence, no need to run and hide,
We are fighting for our freedom, we are searching for a way,
And we live in hope of some eternal day.

We are waiting, we're impatient,
We're unfaithful, we are true,
There's a lesson in the learning of the different things we do,
As it was in the beginning, it shall be in the end,
We will come full circle to begin again.

Search your heart before you die,
Is the cost way too high,
To explain all the tears we have caused throughout the years,
When everything is finished and we've done all that we can,
Will we come full circle to begin again?

"Guiding Light"

"Guiding Light"


I've changed my mind,
Things don't really seem so bad this time,
I've learned my lesson though it hurt my pride.

So on we go,
Crazy rockin' rollin' rodeo,
I need you more now than I did before.
Changing my point of view is teaching me something new

Guiding light I need you here tonight,
I'm walking in the dark alone,
Close the door, a thousand years or more,
Until my guiding light comes shining through.

Morning star how you found me wandering near and far,
This wounded memory wears like a scar.
They all say time will heal,
But they don't know how I feel

Guiding light I need you here tonight,
I'm walking in the dark alone,
Close the door, a thousand years or more,
Until my guiding light comes shining through.
Comes shining through, shining through, comes shining through

"Happy Anniversary"

"Happy Anniversary"


Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind

I'm so happy for you baby
Now that you've found somebody new
I see it in your eyes
Lord, it's no surprise
What he can do for you

But when I look back baby
When I look back to what we had
And I know I'm countin' good times
But there were just as many bad

And so I wish you
Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind

There's a lesson here to learn
When your baby ups and leaves you
Carry on, don't feel concerned
Even though you're so much in love
You need a little help from above, oh

Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind

Oh, ain't no foolin' with you baby
Only the words are hard to find
You got me tremblin' at the knees
Answer won't you please
Before I lose my mind

This is our fifth year, baby
And it feels like I'm in jail, Lord
I'm holding on to this card
Can't seem to get it in the mail
And the card reads

Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind

Ooh yeah, happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind
Ah yeah, happy anniversary, baby
Got you on my mind

Oh, have a happy anniversary
'Cause I've got you on my mind
Always on my mind

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary

"Hard Life"

"Hard Life"


It's the call of the hills
It's the way of the wind
It's your heavenly smile
That's taken me in
Seekers search for the truth
Lovers hide in the night
Some get carried away
On an endless flight

[Chorus:]
It's a hard life
We just gotta learn to understand
That we'll be alright
If we lend everybody here a helping hand

People fight in our wars
On the world where we live
It's a heavenly cause
Too much to forgive
Some get more than they need
Some need more than they get
Others watch while they bleed
Don't remember they met

[Chorus]

It's such a hard life
It's such a hard life
When will it end
Where to begin
We're left alone to learn

Teachers teach in our schools
'Bout the way we should be
They make all the rules
For them it's easy to see
We'll follow our hearts
We'll run with the tide
We'll stay far apart
'Til we're on the same side

It's a hard life
We've just gotta learn to understand
That we'll be alright
If we help everybody here
It's a hard life
We just gotta learn to understand
That we'll be alright
We just got to lend everybody here a helping hand

When will it ever end
Just to begin again
It's such a hard life
(It's such a hard life)
