CAN'T TURN BACK THE YEARS

CAN'T TURN BACK THE YEARS


Could've given you everything that you need
but I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
but I cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

Sometimes. hits me in the morning, hits me at night
that I cannot turn back the years
so I look out my window, turn off my light
but I cannot turn back the years

Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
people are hurting and they're looking to me
and I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up

All that I lived for, all that I dreamed
but I cannot turn back the years
You're the water i drink, you're the air that I breathe
but i cannot turn back the years

So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
we have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
if your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
and when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you

But I'm never gonna give it up

COLOURS

COLOURS


Deep inside the border
Children are crying
Fighting for food
Holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone

All along the roadside
People are standing
Watching the sun
Shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face

Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name

All around the township
Young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst
The well has run dry
The tears from her eye feeds her son

Tell me...

You can say you're pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere
But what we don't see is what's
Going on behind the closed doors
And you don't seem to care

Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head
And make him drink

No matter what you say, it never gets any better
No matter what you do, we never see any change

People living without rights
Without their dignity
How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free

You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles
And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?

No matter what you say...

What makes you so high and mighty
What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom
But how many more have died

You decide to sit in judgement
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and noone else

No matter.

COME WITH ME!

COME WITH ME!


I'll try to make the sun shine brighter for you
I will even play the fool if it makes you smile
I'll try to make you laugh if there's a tear in your eye
After all is said
After al is done
I'd do anything for you

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared , don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright!

I'll try to make the stars shine brighter for you
And I'll take you on my shoulders, hold you way up hight
I'll even chase the rainbow hanging in the sky
Cos after all is said
After all is done
I'd do anything for you!

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared , don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright!

Through the eyes of innocence
You will find, you will see
There'll come a time it all makes sense
And you won't know, but it will show inside, deep inside

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared , don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright!

I'll try to make the days last longer for you
From the daybreak 'til the sunset,'til the end of time
I'll keep you safe, away from the heartache
Cos when all is said
And when all is done
I'd do anything for you!

Come with me, close your eyes
Hold my hand, it'll be alright
Don't be scared , don't be shy
Lift your head it's gonna be alright!
Repeat 3x

DANCE INTO THE LIGHT

DANCE INTO THE LIGHT


It is there in the eyes of the children,
In the faces smiling in the windows –
You can come on out, come on open the doors,
Brush away the tears of freedom.

Now we are here there is no turning back,
We have each other, we have one voice:
Hand in hand, we will lay the track
Because the train is coming to carry you home –
Come dance with me

Chorus:
Dance into the light,
Everybody dance into the light.

There will be no more hiding in the shadows of fear,
There will be no more chains to hold you.
The future us yours, you hold the key
And there are no walls with freedom

Now we are here, we will not go back,
We are one world, we have one voice:
Side by side we are not afraid
Because the train is coming to carry you home –
Come dance with me

Dance into the light,
Everybody dance into the light.

Do you see the sun, it is a brand new day?
All the world is in your hands, now use it –
What is past is past, do not turn around,
Brush away the cobwebs o freedom.

Now we are here there is no turning back,
You have each other, you have one voice:
Hand in hand, you can lay the track
Because the train is coming to carry you home –
Come dance with me.

Dance into the light,
Everybody dance into the light.

DO I LOVE YOU

DO I LOVE YOU


Here I am on bended knees
I lay my heart down at your feet
Now do I love you

All you have to do is ask
I'll give until there's nothing left
Do I love you

As long as there is life in me
Your happiness is guaranteed
I'll fill your heart with ecstasy, forever darling

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Indeed I do Indeed I do

The very thing that I want most
Is just to have and hold you close
Do I love you?

From early morning until late at night
You fill my heart with pure delight
Do I love you?

Whenever I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring you home safe to me, for ever darling

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Do I love you?

Indeed I do, sweet darling, indeed I do

Now whenever I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring you home safe to me
For ever darling

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Indeed I do, little darling, indeed I do

DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU CARE?

DO YOU KNOW, DO YOU CARE?


You said you would, you didn't and I wanna know why
And don't make no excuses
You promised, you promised, you better explain
Though I don't know what the use is
You said you could, you couldn't, now why did you lie?
You made it look so easy
You did it, why do it, what was your point?
Laughing while you tease me

Oh, do you know and do you care?

I said I did, I shouldn't cos the magic will go
It happened once before
You'll see it, you'll steal it and take it away
And then come back for more
Don't say you would, you wouldn't 'cos I saw you myself
It's too late for your reason
You're lying, you're lying, you've done it this time
I'm sick of all the cheating

Oh, well do you know and do you care?

'Cos I watch you
Oh every day I watch you pass me by
I'll get you
Yes in the end I'll get you
Just watch me try

Oh you make it hard to be hard but I'm trying my best
Cos down inside I'm burnin'
You want it, you got it, now take it and run
I'll hide how much it's hurtin'

Oh, well do you know and do you care?
Oh, well do you know and do you care?

DO YOU REMEMBER

DO YOU REMEMBER


We never talked about it,
but I hear the blame was mine ..
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry,
but I wouldn't want to waste your time
'cause I love you,
but I can't take anymore ..

There's a look I can't describe in your eyes,
if we could try like we tried before,
would you keep on telling me those lies?
Do you remember?

There seemed no way to make up,
'cause it seemed your mind was set
and the way you looked it told me,
it's a look I know I'll never forget ..

You could've come over to my side,
you could've let me know,
you could've tried to see the distance between us,
but it seemed to far for you to go,
do you remember?

Through all of my life,
in spite of all the pain,
you know that people are funny sometimes,
'cause they just can't wait to get hurt again ..

Tell me do you remember?
There are things we won't recall
and feelings we'll never find,
it's taken so long to see it,
'cause we never seemed to have the time ..

There was always something more important to do,
more important to say,
but "I love you" wasn't one of those things
and now it's too late,
do you remember?

DOESN'T ANYBODY STAY TOGETHER ANYMORE

DOESN'T ANYBODY STAY TOGETHER ANYMORE


You keep on walking so you don't fall down
It's the same old story
You keep on hiding so you can't be found
It's the same old story

Oh, but I know you, you're the one who ran
You know why, it's because you can, oh
But it's alright, 'cause I don't mind
I'm just trying to help

But I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

My friends keep falling and they can't get up
It's the same old story
Well, one says white and the other one black
It's the same old story

And I don't know why you keep emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it's alright, 'cause I don't mind
I'm just trying to help

But I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

Things can change, from a misunderstanding
Nobody talks, nobody hears, oh oh oh

Makes me wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

You keep on looking for that higher ground
It's the same old story
Your glass is empty and the chips are down
It's the same old story

But I don't know why, your emotions walled up
Your heart's on your sleeve, but your sleeve is rolled up
But it's alright, 'cause I don't mind
I'm just trying to help

But I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore
Oh, I wonder why, doesn't anybody stay together anymore

DON'T LET HIM STEAL YOUR HEART

DON'T LET HIM STEAL YOUR HEART


You were lonely and you needed a friend
And he was there at the right time with the right smile
Just a shoulder to lean on
Someone to tell you it'll all work out alright

Don't let him steal your heart away
No, don't let him steal your heart away
Don't let him steal your heart away
No, don't let him steal your heart away

You can look at him the way you did me
And hold him close say you're never letting go
But any fool can see you're fooling yourself
But you ain't fooling me

So don't let him steal your heart away
No, don't let him steal your heart away

And don't pack my suitcase, I'll be back
And don't take my pictures off a' the wall
Oh, did you hear me?
Don't let him change a thing 'cos I'll be back
Jus tell him to pack his things and get out of your life
And just give me one more chance
I'll show you I'm right, I'm right

'cos I've been thinking and I know it was me leaving you lonely
But hoping you could be strong
But could you look at me straight
Tell me what else can I do but say I was wrong?

So don't let him steal your heart away
No, don't let him steal your heart away

Well he's gonna try to make it work for you
Make you think your whole life's been leading to this
But whatever you do
Think about me and don't be fooled by his kiss

And don't let him steal your heart away
Please, don't let him steal your heart away

And don't pack my suitcase, I'll be back
And don't take my pictures off a' your wall
Oh, did you hear me?
Don't let him change a thing 'cos I'll be back
Jus tell him to pack his things and get out of your life
And just give me one more chance
I'll show you I'm right
You know I'm right

You were lonely and you needed a friend
And he was there at the right time with the right smile
Just a shoulder to lean on
Someone to say don't you worry it'll all be alright
But he's no good for you
He'll make you think your whole life's been leading to this
And whatever you do
Think about me, oh, and don't be fooled by his kiss

DON'T LOOK BACK

DON'T LOOK BACK


We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It's the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It's the only way
Only way

Turn your head
And don't look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there oh

Well it really don't matter much where you are
Cos home is in your heart
It's a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people keep running all their life
And still find they haven't gone too far
They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling
inside oh

Turn your head and don't look back
Just set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there

We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile - it's the only way
