When the Love is Gone
03:30

You can call me up
in the middle of the night
and tell me that you love me
no, you never meant to fight
You can whisper my name
or you can write it on the wall
It doesn't really matter,
nothing's gonna change at all
No, I'm not gonna feel blue over you
When the love is gone
When the damage is done
You've been lyin' and cheatin'
denying and deceivin'
Now there's nothing that can be done
when the love is gone
You could use your charms
and smile to touch my heart
Try to make me weak
and tear me apart
And maybe I could spend
another night with you
But that would only hurt
if you know that we are through
No, I'm not gonna feel the blues over you
When the love is gone
...

My Love
I haven't seen you for a while
Guess you didn't have the time
I hope and pray
that everything's alright
So I
thought I'd better drop a line
hope you'll check your mail in time
'cause all I do
is count the days go by
You better wake me when you come
I don't care where you're coming from
You come and go
You're so mysterious
My Love
My best friend says you're not for real
You're only living in my dreams
but I'm sure last night
I was your only love
You better wake me when you go
Don't let me face the dawn alone
Please don't say
It's all too serious
Mysterious
(4x)
You better wake me when you go
Don't let me face the dawn alone
Please don't say
It's all too serious
From time to time I see your face
then you disappear without a trace
You come and go
You're so mysterious
Mysterious
(4x)

Love to Love
03:42

It's not easy after all we've been through
We all have our inner struggles too
There's good and bad in everyone,
in you and me
Love is patient, love is kind
It's time to leave our pains and sorrows behind
If we'd behave just half as nice
this place could be a paradise
If we stopped being so blind
everything would be fine
Why don't we love to love love
Love to love Love
Let's show the love that we all dream of
Why don't we love to love?
There's food for all if we only learn to share
'cause rich and poor, we all breathe the same air
Some are lucky to be born
on the right side of the world
If we just opened our minds
everything would be fine
Why don't we love to love love
Love to love Love
Let's show the love that we all dream of
Why don't we love to love?
We already have so much
We still can't seem to get enough
but in the end, will we be satisfied?
Let's stop the taking,
start the giving
(It's) time to turn the tide
Why don't we love to love love
Love to love Love
Let's show the love that we all dream of
Why don't we love to love?
Love to love Love
Love, love, love, love

She was a runaway teen
when her boyfriend left the city
Pregnant at sixteen
she had no time for self-pity
Working day and night
as a waitress in a bar
It's hard to do things right
but she never blamed God
when the baby cried at night
She was thankful for what she got
And every night she prayed
"I still believe in miracles"
and I wonder how
she can make it on her own
but then she smiles and says:
"I'm not alone
He's always with me and you know?
I still believe in miracles"
"Nothing is impossible"
is what the doctors said
"but chances are small,
your baby's health is so bad...
Nothing we can do
You need a miracle"
and I wonder how
she never seems to lose her mind
but then she smiles and says:
"I may be deaf or blind,
mute or cripple but you know?
I'll still believe in miracles"
The last time that I saw her,
the same child by her side
She said she met a good guy
This time she got it right
she said: "Life's been good to me
I still believe in miracles"
and I don't know how
she made it through the years of pain
But then she smiles and says:
"I can't complain
He's always with me and you know?
I still believe in miracles"
"I still believe in miracles"
She just smiles and says
"I may be deaf or blind,
mute or cripple but you know?
I'll still believe in miracles"

Same Kind of Shine
03:46

It was midnight on that floating dock
Legs hangin' over the side
The water was smooth, held the stars and moon
like it was jealous of the sky
It was getting late and I felt like time
wasn't being a friend to me
So, I leaned in close and when I stole
a kiss I couldn't believe
Just like that water and light
When love hit you just right
I could see
You got the same kind of shine
Dancin' there inside your eyes
I wanna dive in for the rest of my life
Baby shine
Even though that summer's gone
I'm still lit up inside
No, there's no doubt it'll never burn out
Some things you just can't hide
cause here we are now all curled up
in front of the fireplace
and I'm speechless again cause the glow on your skin
seems to get brighter every day
Girl you fight back the dark
like a flame in my heart
I can see
You got the same kind of shine
Dancin' there inside your eyes
I wanna dive in for the rest of my life
Baby shine
Yeah, it hits you like a spotlight
Just like the stars on the water that night
Girl, you fire me up inside
You got the same kind of shine
Like a diamond ring in the sun
Or like the sky when the day is done
You got the same kind of shine
Dancin' there inside your eyes
Baby shine
I wanna dive in for the rest of my life
Baby shine (shalalala)
Yeah, it hits you like a spotlight
Ooh, Baby shine (shalalala)
Girl you fire me up inside
Ooh, you got the same kind of shine (shalalala shalalala shalalala)

She's only a child
a running, naked child
So vulnerable
She's only 'bout nine
Thin and so fine
So destructable
She runs scarified
Her arms swung out wide
to relieve the pain
She lives in Trang Bang
where fire falls from the skies
Down Highway One
there's a girl that screams and cries
And she's running
Always running
They call her the Napalm Girl
But she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
Saved by the click of a camera
She is the girl in the picture
There's fire all around her
and fire inside
'it's too hot, too hot'
She rips off her clothes
but the heat only grows
It's living under her skin
She's frozen in time
'cause she still burns your mind
when you look at her
She lives in Trang Bang
where fire grows on the trees
Down Highway One
there's a little girl pleading for peace
And she's running
Always running
This little napalm girl
but she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
She's so strong she can burn your mind
She is the girl in the picture
She lives in Trang Bang
where fire rains from the sky
But she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
And she's running
Always running
They call her the Napalm Girl
But she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
Always understanding
This little child of war
She is the girl in the picture

Heaven

I must have fallen into a dream
Everything was so unreal
When I looked into your eyes
I saw an angel in disguise
Think I've been in heaven for a while
Guess that I was sent there
Think I've been in heaven all this time
Must have kissed an angel and I didn't realize
I remember all those times
when I was crying on my pillow
Laying awake all night
Praying for someone to come
to ease the pain,
to hold me tight
That belongs to yesterday
You came down to show the way
Think I've been in heaven for a while
Guess that I was sent there
Think I've been in heaven all this time
Must have kissed an angel and I didn't realize
I saw the light
when you carried me away
You turned my world around
and stopped the falling rain
Think I've been in heaven for a while
Guess that I was sent there
Think I've been in heaven all this time
Must have kissed an angel and I didn't realize
I must have fallen into a dream
Everything was so unreal
I must have fallen into a dream
Everything was so unreal

The Morning After
02:56
|
|||
|
sitting in the dark
hiding from the light
I'm not like all the others
they're never satisfied
all these girls dressed up
in fancy clothes
their skin it shines
they're laughing loud and dance
trying to pull the guys
what if I really want to
but don't have the guts to tell you?
I'm not gonna hide
the morning after
I'm not gonna hide
from love
I don't know why it's so hard
to get words out of my mouth
guess that I'm afraid of people talking all the time
I live alone on my cloud
maybe I really want to love you
but can't find the words to tell you
I'm not gonna hide
the morning after
I'm not gonna hide
from love
who's gonna break the spell?
help me break out of this silence
come and get me out of my shell
sitting in the dark
hiding from the light
the party's almost over
I'm ready for the night
I'm not gonna hide
the morning after
I'm not gonna hide
from love
from love

It doesn't matter where I go
Where I was a while ago
You are always by my side
All I know is that Your word is true
When I'm afraid I put my trust in You
You are my God, You are my Guide
so I won't be terrified
If I walk through the vale
of the shadow of the night
Your compassions never fail
You always shed Your light
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
Your staff protects and comforts me
It doesn't matter what I did
'cause You raised up from the dead
You washed my sins, now I'm white as snow (Now I'm white as snow)
All I know is that when I'm in tears
You will answer and free me from my fears
and Your love will overflow
'cause this is what I know
If I walk through the vale
of the shadow of the night
Your compassions never fail
You always shed Your light
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
Your staff protects and comforts me (I'm not afraid of the dark)
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the dark
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
Your staff protects and comforts me
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
Your staff protects and comforts me (I'm not afraid of the dark)
No fear 'cause You're always with me
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the dark

I know it's kinda late
and I'm sorry I can't wait
But I'm afraid to fall
Feel like a spider on the wall
Another rainy day
This pain won't go away
So I'm calling you, my friend
I just need a helping hand
Don't you ever feel
that living's an ordeal?
Darkness, never sun...
or am I the only one?
I'm sorry I haven't been much around
but I'll be there when the sun goes down
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
They say nobody loves you when you're down and out
but I'm on the rooftops to shout it out loud:
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
A crazy world out there
much more than I can bear
Nobody wants you
when you're down, so what about you?
I know I got to be strong
Losers are always wrong
So I've come to you, God
with all the love I've got
Don't you ever feel
you're slipping off the reel?
Like you're really done?
or am I the only one?
I'm sorry I haven't been much around
but I'll be there when the sun goes down
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
They say nobody loves you when you're down and out
but I'm on the rooftops to shout it out loud:
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
And I'd really like to know
Do you turn off the radio
when they play this song?
Don't you ever feel
that living's an ordeal?
Darkness, never sun...
or am I the only one?
I'm sorry I haven't been much around
but I'll be there when the sun goes down
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone
They say nobody loves you when you're down and out
but I'm on the rooftops to shout it out loud:
Don't stay in a world of your own
I'm your friend, you know you're not alone

Judgement Day
02:46
|
|||
|
She said she woke up
in the middle of a dream
She thought she died when
she heard somebody scream:
"The groom is on His way!"
But she didn't think today would be the day
She was out of grace
She showed up late and
started knocking on the door
"Lord, let me in, Lord!"
She should have known the score
She wept and wailed
as she heard a cold whisper in her ear:
"It's judgement day"
As she stands there in the light
This foolish virgin of the night
praying now on judgement day
She never had too much faith
and it's so sad
Now it's too late
to start praying on judgement day
She dreamed of hiding
in a safe and secret place
Touch the silver mirror
Disappear without a trace
but on this stormy Sunday
she realizes there's a price to pay
on judgement day
As she stands there in the light
This foolish virgin of the night
praying still on judgement day
and all the winds blow her away
She knew Jesus was the way
but she thought it was a fairy-tale
Now it's too late
to pray on judgement day

Free Our Hearts
05:40

Down (down down)
Let's break down these walls
We are one (one one)
Divided we fall
There are cultures we don't understand
but we cannot be silent
We need to make a stand
These guarded walls are keeping us apart
It's time to free our hearts
Would you mind if I wanted to know
where can we really go?
If our hearts are made of stone
If we think nothing can be done
Would you mind if I were to say
There must be another way?
than to live in captivity
Can't we embrace our diversity
and free our hearts from fear
Let's free our hearts from fear
Let's free our hearts
"Breathe (breathe breathe)
I can't breathe"
"Dream (dream dream)
I have a dream"
What's the life of a man worth to you?
Does it matter if he's red, yellow, black or white?
The same blood is running through our veins
So let us break these chains
Would you mind if I wanted to know
where can we really go?
If our hearts are made of stone
If we think nothing can be done
Would you mind if I were to say
There must be another way?
than to live in captivity
Can't we embrace our diversity
and free our hearts from fear
Let's free our hearts from fear
Let's free our hearts
