"In The Moment"

"In The Moment"


Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
That's bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea

In the moment you take possession
It'll all disappear and there's the lesson
And the minute you think it's over
Say the word and your dream
Is coming back

All the way
I followed the road that was real to me
And suddenly
You take it for granted
And things don't turn out
Like you planned
When you think you've found
What is good and true
Through the open door
It can really turn on you

So here we are
We look for the light in so many eyes
And in our life
When hope starts to fade
There's a strength that
We give to each other
Walking in the sky over everyone
Head above the clouds
As we're touching the sun

"Into The Wild"

"Into The Wild"


Red blood on the white snow
Red blood on the white snow

The troopers are coming,
They want me dead not alive,
Gonna run in the danger,
When they open fire.

Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home
Don't cry,
Little sister

In the cold hearted winter,
Dogs are running at my back,
The nightmare is coming in,
And I'm on this frozen track.

Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home
Don't cry,
Little sister I'll fight this one alone

Red blood on the white snow
Red blood on the white snow

If you think I'm guilty
And I'm just a gambling man
Well no one is above the law,
I'm gonna have to make a stand.

Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home.
Don't cry,
Little sister I'll fight this one alone

Red blood on the white snow
Red blood on the white snow

Across the land,
They're getting closer.
I keep my ear to the ground
They ride me down,
Got no mercy
But I never will be found
Oh little sister,
Don't you cry,
You know I cannot stay
I gotta find a place,
A place to hide
'Cos the blood hounds know my way

It's the same old lies,
Don't believe what you hear about me
I'm gonna fight 'till it's over,
And face that hanging tree

Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home
Don't cry,
Little sister I'll fight this one alone

Red blood on the white snow
Red blood on the white snow
Into the wild

"It Ain't Easy"

"It Ain't Easy"


You make it all sound easy now you've tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news that you'd found another man
But it's hard to see what you want from me
It's not easy to be in-between
It's now up to you to make the move this time

Monday morning's waiting, take a look at what you see
Make the most of your live, don't keep the pages clean
Baby, now you've got this chance don't leave me out
It's so hard when you're in-between
What you need and what may never be

It ain't easy when you don't know where to turn
And it ain't easy but you take the chance
The final chance to learn, yes to learn
That it ain't easy when you don't know where to turn
And it ain't easy, so take a look - another look at life - look at life
'Cos it ain't what you've got in the palm of your hand
And it's not what you'll get from another man
That will last you the rest of your life my friend

"July Morning"

"July Morning"


There I was on a July morning
Looking for love,
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...

I was looking for love in the strangest places
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned
I must have tried more than a thousand faces
But not one was aware of the fire that burned

In my heart, In my mind, In my soul
La la la la...

In my heart, In my mind, In my soul
La la la la... La la la la...

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love,
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own
With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...

"Keep On Ridin'"

"Keep On Ridin'"


Ride, keep on ridin'
Ride, keep on ridin'

By tomorrow morning at the early dawn,
I gotta hit the road
So long lady til another day, right now
I gotta be movin' on
Another town and the singer needs a song
I know you're on your own
I'll be back before too long
Do what I gotta do
And you know how my heart loves to run,
I gotta ride.

There's a city waiting and a railroad station
Where my face is known
And an old hotel I know so well,
It's a little bit like home
It's a situation not of my own choosing,
And though a gamblin' man would say
That I was losing
I started out to win
And I'll do it all again, I'm never givin' in
'cause if it comes down to my heart, or my pride
I'm gonna ride.

And I know you say I'm driftin' on a dream
Watch your step boy, it may not be what it seems
I just can't shake this feelin' here inside
This heart of mine just keeps tellin' me to ride, ride.

"Kiss Of Freedom"

"Kiss Of Freedom"


Looking out at the open space,
There's A new war beginning,
God my head is spinning
I had to live cause I thought it was too late,
To far arised,
Now I am breathing,
Now I am seeing,
All the love that is flowing,
Confidence is growing,
Riding high on the magic carpet,
Way ahead of time.

We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Who cares about right or wrong,
When it's down to the feeling,
Sets my head on wheeling,
You know it takes no warning signs,
To know what's going on,
And the hands,
Are touching hands,
When we turn to each other,
From the sky to the cudder,
And until our lifetime is coming down,
I'm living on,
We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Looking out at the open space,
There's a new war beginning,
God your head is spinning,
Flying over the wide horizon,
Far away from time,

We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,
Truth is yours and mine,
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

We'll taste, the Kiss Of Freedom,
It calls our name.
And everyone will shine,

"Lady In Black"

"Lady In Black"


She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing in the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of all men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in peace she said
And filled my heart with life

There's no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black cloak disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I'll find new heart
Each time I think upon that windy day

And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
And say hello from me

Ahh Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh

"Let It Ride"

"Let It Ride"


Before I leave town today
Well, there's something
That I wanna say
That you regret the stormy night
You put your eyes on me

Well, you cheated on me
And you lied
And I must've had that
A thousand times
But I'll be comin' back one day
Just you wait and see

Oh, yeah, let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
Ride the night away
Let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
'Cause I'll be coming back to stay

This time you could've let me live
But there's nothing more
That I can give
You've stolen every day in my life
And then you threw it away

This train I'm gonna ride tonight
Is gonna carry me
Right out of your sight
But I'll be comin' back some time
And then you're gonna pay

Oh won't you take me tonight
Won't you carry me right to the top
Taking me higher
You carry me through
The things that you know
To the end of the line
How much higher?

The last lap is mine
It's too long as they say
You know it's just what will be
As you've wavin' goodbye
Keep rememberin' why
The devil that got you was me

You're the city where
I wanted to be
But the lonely spell you put on me
It's time for you to realize
That there's just no way

"Lifeline"

"Lifeline"


Well I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination
A blessing or a curse
No I can't ignore it
For better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away

And I find myself reaching
For a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
And bring me back this time
I need a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time

Sometimes I can't control it
Sometimes it isn't there at all
Sometimes I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination
I love the games it plays
I get in so deep
That I get lost for days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standing in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching

"Light Of A Thousand Stars"

"Light Of A Thousand Stars"


We stand together like brothers
Under troubled sky
So crazy how we came to live this life
Cross my heart but I refuse to die
I'm coming home to you

They never gave us any guarantee
All they want to see is bravery
I can't live with this misery
I'm coming home to you

And I don't know
Who's on whose side
Guide me with your love

Give me the light of a thousand stars
Shine my way back to you
Show me the road
Get me over the line
There's no limit to what love can do

Don't need no badge of honour
On my sleeve
The fear of dying gonna set me free
A part of you is still a part of me
I'm coming home to you

'Cos I keep your picture
Close to my heart
You're the sweetest thing in this life
And if I ever get back home
I'm gonna fight to
Keep our dream alive

You know that men are born
And men will die
I look at what I am surrounded by
Gotta get out before I lose my mind
I'm coming home
