Murdered for a cause
03:57
|
|||
Woke up cold today, I don't know where I am
I'm far from home, in another land
I hear the bombs exploding all around me
bullets fly, the blood is running
I hit the ground, I'll sleep tonight
another man who's murdered for a cause
Woke up very early today to show, we hate war
and after the march for peace they'll know
but the guard began to raise their rifles
bullets fly, we flee, some trampled
I hit the ground, this can't be right
another man who's murdered for a cause
But it shines so brightly
sunshine pouring over us, we don't care
we'll fight forever
some things are just worth fighting for
All they ever wanted was a world filled with peace and love
their hopes, their dreams, pray to the lord above
people loved them, millions minus one
but one sure makes a difference with a loaded gun
I scream
We'll fight forever
sunshine pouring over us, we don't care
we'll fight forever
some things are just worth fighting for
Wesley Davis, 1989

Mother Earth
04:21
|
|||
Voices calling, oh please save me
the trees are falling, I cannot breath
all I ever wanted was the gift of life
all I ever found, I know, I know this can't be right
mother earth
See all the actions that you do to scar my face
you kill the trees, you spread disease, I bath in toxic waste
oh but there's still beauty see the birds in the sky
soaring, soaring so high
needless to say I cannot save myself
it's now in your hands, I need your help
day by day we draw closer a dreadful end
this is real, "wake up", we must defend
And my creature die in pain
destroyed by those in vain, dying, dying
the land, the trees, the air, and the water
we cannot destroy so the issues get hotter
the greenhouse effect is bound to destroy me
take action now, no time to be hasty
I am the earth begging you to save me
I am the earth begging you to stop
all I ever wanted was the gift of life
all I ever found, I know, I know this can't be right
the land, the trees, the air, and the water
we cannot destroy so the issues get hotter
the greenhouse effect is bound to destroy me
take action now, no time to be hasty
I am the earth begging you to save me
I am the earth begging you to stop
killing me

Hallways
04:27
|
|||
I'm running down the hallways
the long hallways of life
I'm running down the hallways
hallways of life, hallways of life
doors are all around me
decisions that surround me
thinking about it over and over and over and over
Running down the hallway can't see where I've been
only the direction of the final end
but do I turn to the right or do I fly with the wind
awe under the mighty earth and sky
never look back for I don't have the time
I know where to run too, I know where to run too
don't you know the reasons for each of our finds?
it's put there to show us, show us the way
as we run down the hallways and open the door
can't seem to find what I'm lookin for
I'm running down the hallways of my life
ru ru running, running down the hallways of my life
doors are all around me
decisions that surround me
thinking about it over and over and over and over
don't you open the door to hatred, mankind has enough of that
we need to find the unknown path to the hallway of love
Fall down, don't fall down, don't fall
Fall down, no no no no no no
doors are all around me
decisions that surround me
thinking about it over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over again

In a Fantasy
04:44
|
|||
You know I'm watching you, I see your open eyes
just for a moment, so to make me realize
we'll spend tonight together, our time is our own
we're ment to be together, you and me alone
sleep, sleep with me tonight
sleep, sleep and dream, dream with me tonight
dream away, dream away
dream of all those mystic places
simply push aside those face
slipping deeper into dream
it can be better than it seems
talk to princes, kings, and queens
forever together in a dream
We'll sleep out in the forest, trees whispering our love
the mountains, well they stand before us, towering above
climb, climb over the mountain
climb and climb beyond the mountain
tho the mountain might seem so high
we can do it if we try to
dream of castles in the distance
talk to king and queens and princes
people laughing, people crying
screaming out please help I'm dying
break down the wall and open up your heart
open up your heart
never fade apart, never fade apart
fade, fade apart
don't you fade away from me
no don't you fade away from me, oh no
I love all the people staring here
I will scream so loud so they all hear that you
are my only life and my and my only dream
you are everything
I will spend forever just thinking of you
and I will pray all night just hoping you can see
how dreams can be reality, you are my dream
you are my dream

Rain of Pain
07:20
|
|||
Oh the rain is falling, pouring over windows
distant voices calling, please do not live in vain
and all we wanted and all we needed
look out the window, look into the sky
gaze at the beauty that will be destroyed
and all we are and all we can be
it could be too late for the ends on it's way
the dreadful clouds building day after day
and all you ever wanted, all your hope and dreams
shattered shards of life, left before us
I fear the rain of pain, fear the rain of pain
And all i can be, and all I will be
it's all that I have, please listen to me
no longer destroy the life giving trees
and as they change, and as we change life
slowly to darkness as we bring on the rain
slowly to darkness oh don't bring on the pain
and all you ever wanted, all your hope and dreams
shattered shards of life, they fall, they fall
fear the rain of pain
But the lights still shinning through
time for us to change
to do the things that we have to do
I feel, we cannot feel the rain of pain
we cannot fear the rain of pain, I can't fear it
we cannot fear the rain of pain, I can't fear it
we cannot fear the rain of pain
cannot fear the rain of pain
Oh the rain is falling, pouring over windows
distant voices calling, please do not live in vain
falling, falling, falling, falling,
falling, falling, falling, falling

Screaming out, the sun bursts down
laughing, rolling on the ground
I open up my heart and sing
blocking in what we could bring
the ocean touches on the shore
see the window, see the door
peering through to see no end
the past a blessing, your my friend
Won't you see behind me
the wall of memories they blind me
oh can't you see more
look through the window, look through the door
see behind me
the wall of memories they blind me
oh can't you see more
look through the window, look through the door
oh I'm waiting for you, I'm at home
by myself, yet not alone
The glowing clock that keeps the time
time to pass, time that's mine
with each ending day, oh well, another follows just the same
and time never plays the past
so grab the future and make it last
Won't you see behind me
the wall of memories they blind me
oh can't you see more
the wall, the window, and the door
see behind me
the wall of memories they blind me
oh can't you see more
look through the window, look through the door
see behind me
the wall of memories they blind me
oh can't you see more
the wall, the window, and the door
see behind me
the wall of memories they blind me
oh can't you see more
look through the window, look through the door

Long Lost Friend
05:07
|
|||
See the light upon the water
shimmering beneath the dark and crisp moon sky
another night so capturing
even when wind blows, cries of an empty heart
cries of a moment lost, lost in an eternity
but I know where you can go
and I know where we once walked together
and every time I look for your face
I know that we should be together again
be together, long lost friend
and you know I love you
as the lord loves his son until this day
Now it's winter time the cold air on my face
The lifeless trees and the grass
covered with a bleached white tapestry
no flowers, no life at all
under the blackened sky
until the dawn breaks though
and the darkness burn away
and it glows, this heart I find
trapped under an ice of anger
moonlight shines reflects the water
I'm the water and I cry for a long time
oh cry yes I do
I cry for a long long time
hoping we could be together again
be together, long friend
you know I miss you with my pain
Oh yes I'm looking for you, looking for you
I search through all these people
people staring, the're looking at me
I can fly and I sing
but I still can't do everything
cause I cannot find, I cannot find you
all I really want to do is to find you
just to see you again, I cannot find you
goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
goodbye my long lost friend

You Can't See Me
02:56
|

You can't tell me if I'm smiling
you don't know cause you can't see me
you can't tell me if I'm crying
you don't know cause you can't see me
you don't know where I am or where I go
You can't tell me if I'm smiling
you don't know cause you can't see me
you can't tell me if I'm crying
you don't know cause you can't see me
Never lie again, never cry again, never wonder
cause I know we cannot live as others
though we may try and try
the song we sing will always have an empty space
Never lie again, never cry again, never wonder
every time I look into your eyes
though you don't that I'm looking at you
I can see the troubled child inside your loving heart
I must leave tonight, oh I must leave tonight, forever
You can't tell me if I'm smiling
you don't know cause you can't see me
you can't tell me if I'm crying
you don't know cause you can't see me
you don't know where I am
you don't know where I am
you won't know when I'm gone

Fly Away

Fly Away
Say goodbye to another day, goodbye today
hope that you won't fly away, won't you fly away
you won't fly today
Down, down to see the new found riches, I know it's you
open the door to light a new direction, not what we've been through
all I will do is forever, to one cause we all are true
thinking about the times without the things
that I once knew, once knew, once knew
Say goodbye to another day, goodbye today
hope that you won't fly away, won't you fly away
you won't fly today
Open up to see the clouded sun, what we see was told
together to fly and carry from behind, the ghosts of truth we know
all we will do is forever, to one cause we all are true
thinking about the times without the things
that I once knew, once knew, once knew
Say goodbye to another day, goodbye today
hope that you won't fly away, won't you fly away
you won't fly today

Shadows
06:25
|
|||
The further I walk upon the sand
close your eyes, look toward the land
all you are, all you demand
open up your heart tonight
open up and see the light
Seasons change
I look to you like you were a friend
hope for you, hope to the end
long ago, when the sky was old and scared
open up your eyes tonight, open up and see the light
look in the distance, look in the distance
can you see it, won't you see it
look, look in the distance now
See the sky see the world beside me
see the sky see the world beside me
see the sky see the world beside me
see the sky see the world beside me
see the sky see the world beside me
see the sky see the world beside me
oh, oh no
Look, I can feel all you are
Take me through nothing at all
time will change us all
open up your eyes tonight, open up and see the light
look in the distance, look in the distance
can you see it, won't you see it
look, look in the distance now
Listen for the shadow, can you hear it
hear the crash, scream so loud, hope is silent
hope you're happy, hope you're worthy
hope is all that we can fight for
I will know what to say, all you are and all you feel
hope by now all your dreams have come true for you
hope you're happy, hope your free
hope is all you'll ever need
shadows, shadows, shadows

A Moment of Eternity
03:42
|
|||
In a moment of eternity with you my friend
In a moment of eternity
Great times we had until a second lost
one lost thought as we traveled at high speed
I hear voice and sign of terror
as perfection fell under a deep black spell
it must be a dream or nightmare come true
no time to think of what I should do
a desperate grasp for life and a change in course
a prayer, a wish, and a dream
In a moment of eternity three live fell in one hand
you know that I love you, you know that it's true
feel in your heart, even when we're apart
Gasping, rolling, screaming in vain
I look at the sky and Earth and the dirt
as we roll along the freeway, oh let it stop
I pray to see one last day
we stop I jump out looking pale and scared
"where's Kevin?" still echos in my ears
and I look to see him lying on the road lifeless on the ground
In a moment of eternity three live fell in one hand
you know that I love you, you know that it's true
feel in your heart, even when we're apart
And we see you walking towards the lighted door
and we scream for you to stay, we need you more
you know that I love you, you know that it's true
feel in your heart, even when we're apart
In a moment of eternity with you my friend
In a moment of eternity

Images

Time like the mysteries of the world we have no key
time is a vision we can't see, we can't see
Is all that exists only today?
or can we stay longer to play?
nothing said ever finds what is to be done
the evil lies go on and on and on and on and on
Time like the mysteries of the world we have no key
time is a vision we can't see, we can't see
Does freedom ever exist? only for the soul
find temptation only to resist, it started long ago
No, don't look for the goodness where their hearts are now
and no we cannot change from darkness glow not now?
bye, bye innocence long before the little boy
tunneled past the open field, skeleton trees
a whisper so endless, tones from another land
a whisper so endless, a violent breeze
No, I don't like the negative feelings i the air
and no, we cannot change from dark and cold despair
cold is soil, bury the images you have seen
long, long is the pathway, follow forever a lost dream
No, it's not over, together to conquer the mightiest forces
to send them away on run away horses
to free all the spirits and spread equality

Shambala Ashrama
03:38
|
|||
It's set in the mountains, it's lying all alone
many are frightened, yet they call it home
the brotherhood is kind, yet these people are unkown
all that we find out, is that which we are shown
Shambala Ashrama, Shambala Ashrama
Shambala Ashrama, Shambala Ashrama
We don't know much, but they believe
for watching over the valley is the holy church
a mysterious sign hangs over the door
a place where the pray to the Egyptian gods they worship
worship, and praise, worship and explore
Shambala Ashrama, Shambala Ashrama
Shambala Ashrama, Shambala Ashrama
The people worship, they aren't that primitive
the brotherhood of the white temple
people who mind as they please
they search for the truth down on their knees
they just want to live right, that's all we need to know
Shambala Ashrama, Shambala Ashrama
Shambala Ashrama, Shambala Ashrama

Reach for the Sky
03:21
|
|||
It's time for it's the season
to shine no rhyme or reason
for now as the sun goes down
I can see the beautiful world around
It's time but I can't say why
to reach, reach for the sky
beautiful world around me
changing forever just like the sea
shinning so brightly, see the sun
loving and giving as a holy one
It's time but I can't say why
to reach, reach for the sky
captives of life just want to be
I can't say that they will be free
wishing and praying life was fair
but all they do is turn and stare
stare into the sun, the gift of life
the sun up in the sky
It's time, but I can't say why
to reach, reach for the sky
beautiful world around me
changing forever just like the sea
shinning so brightly, see the sun
loving and giving as a holy one
Reach for the sky
now I found the reason why

Somewhere in Nowhere
05:28
|
|||
Strolling in the darkness nothing is on my mind
emptiness surrounds me until the end of time
I feel the darkness, see the time slipping by
my heart is always burning, I have to get away from here
I feel a powerful yearning to live my life free of fear
I'm somewhere in nowhere, nowhere in somewhere
oh where can I turn to? who can I pray too?
I'm somewhere, somewhere in nowhere
oh nowhere, nowhere in somewhere
In the winter of my life i travel trough the shadows
wondering why should I continue til tomorrow
listen for the light of the day, hoping that I can get away
my eyes look for anyone, anything to think about
I lost in the rays of the sun, all I want, is to get out
I'm somewhere in nowhere, nowhere in somewhere
oh where can I turn to? who can I pray too?
I'm somewhere, somewhere in nowhere
oh nowhere, nowhere in somewhere
Never asking for reason's why i live my life in sorrow
wondering why should I continue til tomorrow
feel the sadness, see the time slipping by
my heart is always aching, I have to get away from here
this time there's no mistaking, as I face my final tear
I'm somewhere in nowhere, nowhere in somewhere
oh where can I turn to? who can I pray too?
I'm somewhere, somewhere in nowhere
oh nowhere, nowhere in somewhere
oh where can I turn to? who can I pray too?
