"A Far Better Way"

"A Far Better Way"


Seeing you here
All of my fears seem to
Drift right away
Seeing you smile
Checking out your style
I begin to hope you'll stay
Stay awhile so we can play

Lost in a dream
That's becaming a nightmare
Day by day
It's my love and my life
And somewhere between them
There's a road
And it's a far, a far better way

Out of nowhere came this vision
Of you and me together
Looking for a better way
Then from nowhere

You came running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I've suddenly found
A lot of things to say

Now we'll sing our tune together
This way it's a whole lot better
We're out to prove
There is a place for love
Then from somewhere
We'll come running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I think we've found
A far better way

I think we've found
A far better way ...

"A Right To Live"

"A Right To Live"


I must thank Lord ??
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But I ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And I'm satisfied

The preacher's due here
In an hour or so
To give me a reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and I
I might have been blind
If I'm the guilty, I'm satisfied

Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just can't get along
When daybreak comes and
I've reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And I'm left to die

It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things she'd done
Or things I should know
What was I to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but ??

I have a right to live
When I'm left to die
Oh, woman
I have a right to live...

"A Year Or A Day"

"A Year Or A Day"


Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
but we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test
Test, test, TEST!

The day of creation was our finest hour it's
something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused since the first day of light
that no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little for the world we're in
Why and what do you want to survive

Can't we try to let the past go by, with its lessons firmly
settled in our minds
To our children one by one and before the darkness comes
let us leave a world full of light of a different kind

In truth they should meet and with love their hearts should beat
And with patience solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do, it's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath a life that is a crime

Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
but we can't find the things we need

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test whoa

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test whoa

Young man, young man

"Across The Miles"

"Across The Miles"


When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home
Has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch
Across the miles tonight

On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed
On its way to reality
Oh but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky

As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes
And listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song
The signal is clear and strong
Across the miles tonight

And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes and hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles

"Against The Odds"

"Against The Odds"


In the court of kings I look around
My blood runs cold, I close my eyes
Out of my head a vision flows
I'll make the rules I need for my survival, for my survival

I pull the strings, you take the glory
I load the gun, you shoot me down
I'm on the edge, about to fall
Destructive power will make you lose your mind, lose your mind

Trapped inside my nightmare you are there
As I turn I feel your evil stare

We give our life, invest in time
To only fools who take control
I spend another cold day in hell
Against the odds, I fight for my survival, for my survival

Your useless life gets crushed into the ground
The time has come to turn it all around

"All For One"

"All For One"


You think I'm crazy for wanting you
But you just hide away
Behind your untold truths
And so I sit and
Listen to your lonely words
Another reason for you to be yourself

I can't be wrong for believing you
This ice is melting
And the waves are breaking through
I see a fire burning in your heart tonight
There's only one way for me to forget

All for one, one for all
Strong in hear, body and soul
We were all for one, one for all
All for one, one for all
Nothing could stop us, we had it all
We were all for one, one for all

I always knew
You had dreams of your own
But I can't understand you
So many words, too much to say
And nothing to hold on to
And so another day must end
In this loneliness
Another reason
Another time, I guess

"All God's Children"

"All God's Children"


Crazy little whirlwind child
Pretty babies drive ya wild
Look like one, act like another
Every night a different lover
Get affection where you can
Try a boy then try a man
First time love is in the past
Make it young and make it fast

All God's children will have their say
All God's children must have their way

It's a game where you can cheat
Lovers falling at your feet
High on sensuality
A photograph for all to see
First time love is in the past
Make it young and make it fast
They can never get enough
Strong as death and sweet as love
They walk and talk like angels

"All My Life"

"All My Life"


I had a little look for a minute today
And I told there was something
That I wanted to say

Just sitting here glowing with her red light on
So I've gotta move fast
And it shouldn't take long

Maybe she will, maybe she won't
We can get it so together
If she doesn't say don't

I've never ever thought I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life yeah

I only took one 'cause I couldn't take two
I wanna make love
And it's gotta be you

Every little thing that I ever tried to say
Is coming out right
In my own kinda way

Take it, make it, it really feels fine
She must be Lady Luck
If she's gonna be mine

I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
But I think I could love her
For the rest of my life
I will love you all my life
[repeat last line to fade]

"Angel"

"Angel"


Can't go to sleep without you starring in my dreams
I can't get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
I lock the doors, but you're comin' up the stairs

Can't stay awake, I know I have to try
What will it take to stop you walking in my sleep
How can I break this hold you have on me
Angel will you never, ever set me free

Ooh! Angel, I can't stop you dancing on my bed
You're an angel, and I can't get you out of my head Angel
I can't stop you walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't stop you starring in my dreams

How come you're givin' me these technicolour dreams
How can I get you - out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
How can I get you, out of my bed

I lie awake, all I see is you
I'm going crazy, what can I do
Switch off the light, then you start to call I lock the door
Now you're coming through the wall

Ooh! Angel, I can't stop you dancing on my bed
You're an angel, and I can't get you out of my head Angel
I can't stop you walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't stop you starring in my dreams

I can't stay awake much longer
This feeling's getting stronger

Ooh! Angel, I can't stop you dancing on my bed
You're an angel, and I can't get you out of my head Angel
I can't stop you walking in my sleep
You're an angel and I can't stop you starring in my dreams

"Angels Walk With You"

"Angels Walk With You"


I only know what I'm feeling
Do you know it's true
'Cos I've searched for you
'Cos I believe in you

Why do we walk in shadows
While this world falls apart
'Cos I'd die for you
'Cos I know angels walk with you

In my hands I hold nothing
The more I have the less I use
If I'd gone down that road forever
I would not have found you

And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'Cos angels walk with you

If we sit and do nothing
Will the light surely fade?
Can I trust in you forever?
If you show me the way

A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'Cos angels walk with you
Yeah, walk with you, with you
Yeah, walk with you
'Cos I'd die for you
'Cos I know angels walk with you

A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'Cos angels walk with you
