GREAT SPIRITS

GREAT SPIRITS


When the earth was young and the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the far beyond with its mended hearts
Man and nature lived side by side

But great wisdom does not come without learning
And great vision not only with our eyes
So we can think that we see, truly see all around us
But when we look, do we see with open minds

Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others? eyes
Find a way to help us see from all sides
Truly see from all sides

Teach our children to look deeper than the surface
And see the world through another?s eyes
For to be blind beyond yourself is to look but not seeing
Knowing much is not enough to be wise

To see the wonder in all we?ve been given
In our world it?s not always as it seems
On the path that we choose, turn every corner
Follow on, for another begins

Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others? eyes
Find a way to help us see from all sides
Truly see from all sides

Oh great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others? eyes
Find a way to help us see from all sides
Truly see from all sides
See from all sides

GROOVY KIND OF LOVE

GROOVY KIND OF LOVE


When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue

When you're close to me
I can feel you're heart beat
I can hear you breathing in my head

Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
We've got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to
Anytime at all

When I kiss your lips
Oh I start to shiver
Can't control the clivering inside

Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
We've got a groovy kind of love

Ohoh

When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue

When I'm in you're arms
Nothing seems to matter
My whole world can shatter
I don't care

Wouldn't you agree
Baby you and me
We've got a groovy kind of love
We've got a groovy kind of love
We've got a groovy kind of love

Ohoh

We've got a groovy kind of love

HANG IN LONG ENOUGH

HANG IN LONG ENOUGH


The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
The writing's on the wall, for you to see

You never thought you'd ever get the taste
You never thought that it could be this good
Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key
Reach out and touch it's all yours.

If you hang in long enough, you'll do it
Just hang in long enough

You're down on the ground , or so you say
You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear
It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.

You never thought you'd ever get the chance
You never thought your break would come along
If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key
Just reach out and touch it's all yours

If you hang in ...

They always say
The best things in life are free
But you want to have everything
Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all.

So hang in long enough, you'll do it
Hang in long enough

They'll let you out, the n pull you in
Playing hell with your emotions,
You'll feel like giving in.

So just hang in long enough ...

HEAT ON THE STREET

HEAT ON THE STREET


Well, you've gotta shout
If you've got something to say.
I know it's getting bad. You read it everyday.
And you, you can try your best to fight it,
But you won't make it on your own.
Oh, someone better tell the people up there.
I think they ought to know
The bubble's just about to burst.
Tell them they'd better beware.
The word is on the street.
Get up on your feet and shout out.

The kids out there don't know how to react.
The streets are getting tough,
And that's a matter of fact.
And I, I can't take this any longer,
But we can't make it on our own.
Oh, the people up there find it hard to relate.
They don't know how it feels
To be standing there on your own.
Believe me, it's never too late.
It's time to make a move.
Get up on your feet and shout...
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around -
Shout out. Shout it out. Shout loud.
Oh, shout out. Shout it out. Shout loud.

There are people who give
And there are people who take.
Oh, and I believe it's gonna get better.
Realize what a difference you make.
And don't turn away. Hey! I'm talking to you.

So there's only the one solution.
Stop and think what's going on.
And you can draw your own conclusions,
But we won't make it on our own.
Oh, someone better tell the people up there.
I think they ought to know
The bubble's just about to burst.
Tell them they'd better beware.
The word is on the street.
Get up on your feet and shout...
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down.
Everybody, do you see what's going on around you?
Stop. Look down. Look down.
It's going on around you.
Stop. Look down. Look down.

HERO

HERO


Well it was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasn't afraid to fight

The villain goes to jail
While the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me

And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knew

Shadows and shape mixed together at dawn
But by time you catch them simplicity's gone
And so we sort through the pieces my friends and I
Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky

And the reason that she loved him
Was the reason I loved him too
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
He just knew, he just knew

And we wonder, yes we wonder
How do you make sense of this
When the hero kills the maiden
With his kiss, with his kiss

Well it was one of those great stories
That you can't put down at night
The hero knew what he had to do
And he wasn't afraid to fight

The villain goes to jail
While the hero goes free
I wish it were that simple for me

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S TRUE

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S TRUE


When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
Cause I've already given
all I have to give
And I think it must
have slipped your mind

But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed
time, but it's mine

(chorus)
Oh did you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing
the things you do?
No I cannot believe
it's you, really you

Oh these people I'm
talking to don't understand
They don't seem to realize
They're listening but
they're not hearing me
They're being too cruel to be kind

Any kind of feeling
that I had is gone
Cause I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed
time, but it's mine

(chorus)

Over and over I
keep on telling myself
Over and over I
hope I'm gonna make up
Over and over I
know it's really happening
And there's nothing
that I can say
Cause nothing can change
all the things that
you've done to me
Nothing can make me stay

Oh cause you know
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing
the things you do?
No I cannot believe
it's you, really you

I know it's a crying shame
it's all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out
but I cannot get through
never meant it to show
It started happening
that's all you know.

Oh I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed
time, but it's mine

(chorus)

Over and over I
keep on telling myself
Over and over I
hope i'm gonna make up
But over and over I
know it's really happening
And there's nothing
that I can say
Cause nothing can change all
the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay

Cause you know
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing
the things you do?
No I cannot believe
it's you, really you

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE


You can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace,
Drag my name all over the place,
I don't care anymore,
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in,
But you won't catch me crying cos I can't win
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore.

I don't care what you say,
I don't play the same games you play.

Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends,
And it seems to me there's a means to an end,
They don't care anymore,
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time,
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind,
I don't care anymore, no I don't care anymore.

I don't care what you say,
We never played by the same rules anyway,
I won't be there anymore,
Get out of my way, let me by,
I got better things to do with my time.

I don't care anymore,
I don't care anymore,
I don't care anymore,
I don't care anymore.

Well I don't care now what you say,
Cos everyday,
I'm feeling fine with myself,
And I don't care now what you say, hey,
Hey I'll do alright by myself, cos I know.

Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard,
But you laughed in my face holding all the cards,
I don't care anymore,
Well I really ain't bothered what you think of me,
Cos all I want of you is just let me be, I don't care anymore,
Do you hear I don't care no more.

I don't care what you say,
I never did believe you much anyway,
I won't be there anymore,
So get out of my way, let me by,
I got better things to do with my time.

I don't care anymore,
Do you hear I don't care anymore,
I don't care no more,
You listening, I don't care no more.

I DON'T WANNA KNOW

I DON'T WANNA KNOW


It's over
Oh yes it's all over
And it's been a long time coming
Some say it's too long

She said it
And now she'll regret it
But if she'd ask anyone
I know they'll tell her to her face, that it's too late

'Cause I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no

I don't wanna know
No I don't wanna know
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna get me back, oh oh, no no

They warned me
Oh yes they all warned me
They told me, don't lose your heart to her
She'll never give it back, no no

Oh it's too late
She made a big mistake
It wouldn't be the first one anyway
Tell me how many more? No no no

No I don't wanna know what she said
No I don't wanna know what she said
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna bring me back, no no

I don't wanna know what she said
No I don't wanna know what she said
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna get me back, no no, oh oh

It's over
Oh oh it's all over
And it's been a long time coming
Some say it's too long, oh oh

They warned me
Oh yes they all warned me
They told me, "Now don't lose your head to her
She'll never give it back", no no, no no

I don't wanna know what she said
No I don't wanna know what she said
She can cry all she wants
She's not gonna get me back, no no

I don't wanna know what she said
No I don't wanna know what she said
She can try all she wants
It's not gonna bring me back, no, no no no

I KEEP ON SEARCHING FOR THE WAY TO YOUR HEART

I KEEP ON SEARCHING FOR THE WAY TO YOUR HEART


Woke up this morning with my heart on fire
Held on to what I'd been dreaming
Woke up this morning, I had one desire
To get back to what I'd been seeing

Heaven, it was heaven
I have never know any like this
Witnessed anything like this

Glowing all over as I started on my feet (To, to, to)
I thought that I heard somebody calling

Heaven, it was heaven
Now I know I've seen the light
Make it go on shining

I keep on searching for the way to your heart
Try to believe it's getting better
Please, take me all the way to your heart
I want you, ohohoho, oh

All the sweet kisses, all the tenderness
That I'm being shared all around it
Only remind me of my only stress (To, to, to)
No loving arms to surround me

Falling, I am falling
You can help me out of there
Being mine forever

I keep on searching for the way to your heart
Try to believe it's getting better
Please, take me all the way to your heart
I want you, ohohoho, oh

You got it, you got it
There'll be no doubt about it
Nobody's going keep me from you, oh!

I want you, I need you
I'll find a way to get through
Nobody is going keep me from you

Heaven, it was heaven
Now I know I've seen the light
Make it go on shining

I keep on searching for the way to your heart
Try to believe it's getting better
Please, take me all the way to your heart
I want you, ohohoho, oh

I keep on searching for the way to your heart
Try to believe it's getting better
Baby, take me all the way to your heart
I want you, I want you (Ohohoho), oh!

Keep on searching for the way to your heart
Try to believe it's getting better
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I want you

So you finally came ride out and said it girl.
what took you so long?
it was in your eyes, that look has been there for too long
I'm waiting in line would you see if I was wasting my time
CHORUS

I think about it from time to time, when I'm lonely and on my own.
I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone.
I'm waiting in line, would you see if I was wasting my time

or did I missed again? I think I missed again owohow

And you can feel it al around you but it's something you just can touch owohow.
and I can feel it coming at me, yes I can feel it coming at me

or did I missed again, I think I missed again, owohow
