"Let There Be Love"

"Let There Be Love"



We've got the power, we've got the hunger for the search
As we race across the heavens to embrace the universe
In this hour and in truth what is it worth
When we can't escape the madness
We've created on this earth

They say that money talks but you and I
Know places money just don't say enough

Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Let there be love, let there be love

We live divided behind imaginary walls
Brother against brother, we just watch each other fall
With hearts united we will never stand so tall
Reachin' out to one another
We'll find the meaning of it all

Ain't one power we will ever know
Could ever heal the poverty of the soul

Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love

(When will we learn, tell me when will we see)
How many more promises spoken
While the dreams of the innocent die
Every day another heart gets broken
While the flame of hate survives
When will the healing begin in our lives

Let there be love where there is emptiness
Let there be faith where hope is gone
Let there be strength where there is helplessness
And open eyes to see right from wrong
We've gotta find a way to trust
The very best in all of us
Gotta be more than wise enough
To forgive and rise above
Let there be love, let there be love

"Let's Make A Long Story Longer"

"Let's Make A Long Story Longer"


Everybody's lookin' for a happy ending
Before the real story even begins
It's so easy to pretend you're not pretending
Till the naked truth comes walkin' on in

But we ain't runnin' when the truth gets hot
That's how ya find out just how much you've really got

[Chorus:]
Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Our star is gonna shine, shine even brighter
Believe what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer

The seed of love is so deeply planted
Inside the heart is where it lives and grows
We'll keep it safe 'cause we don't take it for granted
Let the hard rains fall, let the cold wind blow

Every storm is just a lesson to learn
Just bring us closer with every page we turn baby

[Chorus]

Ya gotta stand the test of time
If ya wanna keep the treasure you find
Some can only dream about forever
But look at us baby, we're creatin' it together

[Chorus]

Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Baby, live what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
Let's make a long story longer

"Let's Stay Together"

"Let's Stay Together"


I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

[repeat to fade:]
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

"Like A Rolling Stone"

"Like A Rolling Stone"


Once upon a time you dressed so fine
Threw bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People called said beware doll, you're bound to fall
You thought they were all kidding you
You used to laugh about
People who were hanging out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging your next meal

[Chorus:]
How does it feel, how does it feel?
To be on your own, without a home
Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone

You've gone to the finest schools, alright miss lonely
but you know you only used to get juiced in it
Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street
And now you're gonna have to get used to it
You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibies
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

[Chorus]

Oh, you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jumpers and the clowns when they did their tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on your chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

[Chorus]

Princess on a steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinking, thinking that they've got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
You better take your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him he calls you, you can't refuse
When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to loose
You're invisible now, you've got not secret to conceal

[Chorus]

"Lost In The City"

"Lost In The City"



Lost in the city
I'm movin' around
To the sound of the song
I've been...living

High altitudes mixed
With wrong attitudes
Make me wonder
Just what I've been...giving
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I belong

Ooh ooh
Love can open the door
Through these eyes I see
And love has opened this heart
For me

See you, I see you fly high
All above all of this
Makes me miss home
And the freedom

I've known for so long
Why has it taken so long
Tell me where I went wrong
Ooh ooh

"Love Cuts Deep"

"Love Cuts Deep"


You're knockin' on my door
Say ya want me back again
Say ya wanna try once more
But a broken heart don't mend

Wasn't all that long ago
You swore that we were through
Don't know what you want from me
Don't know what I need from you

First you feel the pain
Then you start to cry
When someone breaks your heart
Just makes you wanna die

Ya feel you can't go on
Can't face another day
Until the hurt is gone
Love cuts you deep that way

I remember I gave my heart completely
I remember the lesson that you taught me

[Chorus:]
Love cuts deep, baby, love cuts deep
And it leaves a scar
Right across your heart

First you feel the pain
Then you start to cry
When someone breaks your heart
Love cuts you deep inside

I used to call your name
But you were never there
And now you came to me
Expecting me to care

I remember the words you once said to me
Like a knife, those words just cut right through me

[Chorus]

You give your heart to somebody
You give your soul to someone
You love somebody, you love somebody
And they're gone, gone, gone

You gave your heart to somebody
You gave your soul to someone
You loved somebody, you loved somebody
And they're gone, gone
Somebody finally taught you

[Chorus]

"Love Is A Wonderful Thing"

"Love Is A Wonderful Thing"


Birds fly, they don't think twice
They simply spread their wings
The sun shines, it don't ask why
Or what the whole thing means

The same applies to you and I
We never question that
So good, it's just understood
Ain't no conjecture
Just a matter of fact

[Chorus:]
Love is a wonderful thing
Make ya smile through the pouring rain
Love is a wonderful thing
I'll say it again and again
Turn your world into one sweet dream
Take your heart and make it sing
Love, love is a wonderful thing

The only thing a river knows
Is runnin' to the sea
And every spring when a flower grows
It happens naturally

The same magic when you're in my arms
No logic can define
Don't know why, just feels so right
I only know it happens every time

[Chorus]

Oh when the cold wind blows
I know you're gonna be there to warm me
That's what keeps me goin'
And our sweet love will keep on growin'

[Chorus]

Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
Love is a wonderful, wonderful thing
It's what makes honey taste sweet
It's what makes your life complete

"Love Is The Power"

"Love Is The Power"


Tell me how long, can we go on this way
Just to be strong
We talk through the night
But never reach the other side
We fill our lives
With endless words, an aimless search

When all that we need, we hold within our hearts
When will we find, our way out of the dark

[Chorus:]
We know that
Love is the power, love is the key
Love is the reason, reason to believe
Love is the answer, when we will see
Love is the power, love is the power, we need

Look at our lives, look at this world we've made
We close our eyes, and oh the price we pay
We reach for the sky
But never get beyond our pride

Fighting like fools
This faithless game, is such a shame

When all that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand

[Chorus]

All that we need we hold within our hands
Oh when will we find the faith to understand

[Chorus]

"Love Shouldn't Hurt"

"Love Shouldn't Hurt"


Born in pure innocence
Born without the fear
She says "Mommy what did I do wrong,
To make you cry your angry tears?"
Feeling dirty and ashamed
Keeps making up excuses
She's learned how to hide the pain
But she can't hide the bruises anymore
There's no light behind her eyes
She's tryin to find love in a stranger's touch
14 years old and so alone
Desperate for what she needs so much
She cries herself to sleep at night
And prays she won't wake up...

[Chorus:]
Love shouldn't hurt
Love shouldn't scar
But sometimes we can be so blind
To the way things really are
Love can be so unkind
Truth is that hearts get broken everyday
But love should never ever hurt this way....

Children having children and growing up too fast
If you've never been shown lvoe
How can you give love back?
Her newborn baby's cryin'
It's more than she can stand
She doesn't see the tragedy
When she raises her own hand
There's no light behind her eyes
She doesn't realize what she has done
Didn't think she was being so rough
Little one won't you please wake up?.....

[Chorus 2x]

But love should never ever hurt this way

"Love With My Eyes Closed"

"Love With My Eyes Closed"



I close my eyes now I pray
That you're out there doing the same
I'm full out of touch
Stands alone
And needs no vision to find its home

I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggar turns to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go

Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed

Deep in my mind I touch your skin
To risk our emotion a life so thin
Will you love me when I am on
Just stronger hold

I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers make the sea
I've seen light above horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggars turn to rich man
Seen the birds of mountains
I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go

Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside of my soul
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed

I don't wanna fight this feeling
Just to let it go

Wanna love with my eyes closed
Want your warm body next to me
I can feel when my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust that I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
