"Happy Xmas (War Is Over)"
(originally by John Lennon and Yoko Ono)



So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
A new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

Very, merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
The weak and the strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long

And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
The yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very, merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

"Haunted"

"Haunted"


I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

I see you walking through the gates of home
And then I wake up to find I'm still all alone
I should have known
But forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

Lonely is the river as it tumbles to the ocean
Searching for our future
We can't find our way back home

My only comfort is the love we shared
And as I walk through this world
With sadness everywhere
I've had my share
And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

Standing in the doorway
As the sunrise greets the morning
Searching for our future
We can't find our way back home

I really miss you when the nights are long
And only silence is heard in this world of song
But life goes on
And forever more
I'll be haunted by your love

Haunted by your love
[repeat]

"Have You Heard (part 1)"

"Have You Heard (part 1)"




Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?

Now you know that you are free,
Living all your life at ease.
Each day has its always,
A look down life's hallways, doorways,
To lead you there.

"Have You Heard (part 2)"

"Have You Heard (part 2)"



Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.

Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?

"He Can Win"

"He Can Win"


Never put him down if he's not right
Every man has time to see the light
If he's cool about it
He could win
There's no doubt about it
He'll be in
He can win

He's trying hard to be so nice
Everybody goofs it once or twice
But I'll make a bet that he can win
Everything you get, yeah, he'll be in
He can win

I tell ya
What he's gonna do
Cos I know,
Cos it's me
He's out to win respect from you
So you show him that you please

He knows where it's at but give him time
He never lets his manners rule his mind
Every morning [?] he can win
He'll be in the lead and he'll be in
He can win

Give him all he needs and he can win
He'll be in the lead and he'll be in
He can win

I tell ya
What he's gonna do
Cos I know,
Cos it's me!
He's out to get respect from you
So you show him that you please

Never put him down if he's not right
Every man has time to see the light
If he's cool about it
He could win in
There's no doubt about it
He'll be in
He can win

"Here Comes The Weekend"

"Here Comes The Weekend"



Somewhere in the night
There's a heart that beats so fast
I can feel the heat
Of the fire in your eyes
Burning like a naked flame
Waiting for the ice to break
Counting down the days
Waiting for the weekend

Lonely is the night
Silence is a friend to wake with
With no one else to talk to

But on a Friday night
It's alright, it's alright
You can be who you want to be
Take off for the weekend
If you can dance you can dance with me
'Cos it's Friday night

It's alright, it's alright
Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm all wired up and ready to go
I'm on my way
Let's get on with the show

Here comes the weekend

Here comes the weekend

Somewhere in the heat
There's a heart that beats so fast
I can hear your voice
Talk to me tonight
Taking a different face
Every time I hear your name
I'm counting down the days
Waiting for the weekend

Lonely is the night
When all are sleeping
Silence is a friend you walk with
With no one else to talk to

But on a Friday night
It's alright, it's alright
You can be who you want to be
Take of for the weekend
If you dance you can dance with me
'Cos it's Friday night
It's alright, it's alright

Nothing's gonna stop me now
I'm all wired up and ready to go
And I'm on my way
It's the weekend
And it's starting today

Here comes the weekend

Here comes the weekend

"Higher And Higher"

"Higher And Higher"



Blasting, billowing, bursting forth
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man with his flaming pyre
Has conquered the wayward breezes
Climbing to tranquility
Far above the cloud
Conceiving the heavens
Clear of misty shroud

Higher and higher
Now we've learned to play with fire
Go higher and higher and higher

Vast vision must improve our sight
Perhaps at last we'll see and end
To our own endless blight
And the beginning of the free
Climb to tranquility
Finding it's real worth
Conceiving the heavens
Florishing on earth

Higher and higher
Now we've learned to play with fire
Go higher and higher and higher

"Highway"

"Highway"



It's a long, long highway
Will this road of life lead me to someone?
Who sees the world in a grain of sand?
Who holds the future in the palm of their hand?
No one else can see things like I do

It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And the harvest was young
Will this road of life lead me to someone, someone?
The rays of sun and the light of dawn
My inspiration since the day I was born
No one else can see things like I do

It's a long, long highway
But don't make the start on an empty heart
When you think you've begun
Let the road of life lead you to someone, someone

Nothing is serious to me
I live for what will be
I can always be a dreamer
So trust your heart
Don't fall apart, you'll see
At your journey's end
You will find a friend in me

It's a long, long highway
Will this road of life lead me to someone?
You touched the dream that was in your eyes
You took so long only to realize
No one else can love you like I do

It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
And my harvest was young
Will this road of life lead me to someone?

It's a long, long highway
But don't make a start
On an empty heart

It's a long, long highway
Let this road of life lead you to someone, someone

"Hope And Pray"

"Hope And Pray"



I see the headlights
Shining on the wall
It seems I've got a visitor
Who is kind enough to call
And I hope and I pray, everyday
I hope and I pray it's you.

I thought I heard some footsteps
On the floor
And tell me am I dreaming
Or is it someone at the door
'Cos I hope and I pray
Everyday
I hope and pray, it's you

Autumn turns to winter
And winter turns to spring
I only know the passing of the days
And if you were to ask me
About the meaning of my life
It kind of lost it's meaning
On the day you went away
You know that when it comes
To matters of the heart
I thought I had it covered
But it's tearing me apart
And I hope and I pray
Everyday
I hope and I pray, it's you.

Autumn turns to winter
And winter turns to spring
The summer sun still lingers
In my head
If it wasn't for the letters
That you wrote me from the heart
I'd sometime wonder baby
If I dreamed it all instead
You see I've got to feel your hand
Upon my face
I need to get the calling
To rejoin the human race
And I hope and I pray
Every day
I hope and I pray, it's you.

"House Of Four Doors"

"House Of Four Doors"



Mystery spread it's cloak
Across the sky
We'd lost our way
Shadows fell from trees
They knew why
Then through the leaves a light broke through
A path lost for years lead us through

House of four doors
I could live there forever
House of four doors
Would it be there forever?

Loneliness, the face of pilgrims eyes was known
As the door opened wide

Beauty they had found before my eyes to see
To the next door we came

Love of music showed in everything we heard
Through the third door where are we?

Enter in all ye who seek to find within
As the plaque said on the last door
