Had A Dream

Had a dream I was born

To be naked in the eye of the storm

And now it's standing right in front of me

What's it going to do to me, who knows,

Had a dream it was time

To be taken to the front of the line

Well that is not a place you wanna be

sleeping with  the enemy, you know,



I don't care what the future brings

Give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone

But it's time -gotta take a stance

'Cause I won't get a second chance

And I know I have to make it alone



Had a dream it was war 

And they couldn't tell me what it was for

But it was something they could be lie about 

Something we could die about, you know

Anytime, anyplace

When you look that man in the face

Well it is not a face you wanna see

Sleeping with the enemy, you know



Mary, can you hear me 

Can you tell me what it's all supposed to mean

Holding out a photograph of all that I have seen

I wish I could  hold you

I wish I could  hold you



Had a dream it was time 

To be a witness of the scene of the crime

Well, that is something you can analyse

Something you can criticise, who knows

So we wait, hesitate

And we're making such a mistake

Oh whatever can the matter be

Sleeping with the enemy,  you know



I don't care what the future brings

Give a damn about anything

I'd be fine if they'd only leave me alone

But it's time -gotta take a stance

'Cause I won't get a second chance

And I know I have to make it alone

In Jeopardy

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I feel I'm about to cry

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me the reason why

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I'm watching the feeling grow

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, oh tell me I want to know

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, the writing is on the wall

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I can't seem to sleep at all

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we utter a lonely cry

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, who cares  if we live or die



Who's in your mind 

Who's in your conscience

Part of the crime 

Part of the nonsense

Do what we can

Pray for tomorrow

Living your lives

Watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can



In jeopardy, in jeopardy, so where is the golden age

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, we're ready to turn the page

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, it's getting so out of hand

In jeopardy, in jeopardy, I wish I could understand



Who's in your mind 

Who's in your conscience

Part of the crime 

Part of the nonsense

Do what we can

Pray for tomorrow

Living your lives

Watching, waiting, feeling as much as we can



Who's in your mind 

Who's in your conscience

Part of the crime 

Part of the nonsense

Do what we can

Sing for tomorrow

Living your lives

Watching, waiting, working, playing,

singing, dancing, running  as fast as we can

Lovers In The Wind

Time is always on the run 

We've only just begun,

Lovers in the wind



Life is all we have to share

You know we must  take care

Lovers in the wind



There  was a time when it was hard to know 

Reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go

There was a light born on the darkest day

But no one wants to know

And no one wants to cry



Love is all  I have to give

It's all I need to live

Lovers in the wind



There  was a time when it was hard to know 

Reaching out, reaching out for somewhere to go

There was a light born on the darkest day

But no one wants to know

And no one wants to cry



Time is always on the run 

We've only just begun,

Lovers in the wind

Hooked On A Problem

I'm hooked on a problem

It won't go away

So many opinions

I don't know what to say



Can somebody help me

What they trying to do



Life used to be simple

Life used to be fun

Now it's all catchin' up on me

Tell me what I have I done



Can somebody help me

What they trying to do



Hey don't you ever get lonely

Hey don't you wish it was easy

Facing the world on your own



I'm hooked on a problem

It won't let me go

The way people look at me

Feels like twenty below



Can somebody help me

What they trying to do



Hey don't you ever get lonely

Hey don't you wish it was easy

Facing the world on your own



If you know the answer

What I'm tryin' to say

I need a solution

Cause I'm wasting away



Can somebody help me

What they trying to do

Won't somebody help me

What they trying to do

Can somebody help me

What they trying to do

Give Me Love, Give Me Life

It's feeling like it's time to ring the changes

It's feeling like it's time to be reborn

Cause here we go again 

Proclaiming it's the end

And reaching out for something

To bring it back again

We're living on good fortune

We're cheating all our friends

So tell me, oh tell me

Now where's it going to end



I hope it's not too late to see the danger

I'd really like to wake and see the dawn

Cause here we go again

We're trying to pretend

We're blaming one another

For  what is ours to mend

We're fighting for the future

We're ringing out the post

It feels good, it feels good

But is it going to last?



Give me love,

Give me love, give me joy, give me pain

Give me light, give me starting again

Give me hope,

Give me hope, give me sun, give me rain

Get me up, get me dancing again

Give me life,

Give me life, give me high, give me low

Give me truth, give me something to know

Give me time, 

Give me time, give me room, give me rope

Give me sign, give me reason to hope



Cause everything is a turn up, turnaround

And everything is just upside, upside-down 

Well, everything is not like you'd like it to be

Everything is a two-bit, two-bit down

And everybody 's just out to drag you down

Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be



Well everything is a turn up, turnaround

And everything is just upside, upside-down 

Well, nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be

Everything is a two-bit, two-bit down

And everybody 's just out to drag you down

Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be



I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking 'bout you

Give me love ... reason to hope



I see just what I want to see

Just what I want to be

I can be anytime, anyplace, anywhere

I go just where I want to go

Just when I want to know

I can go anytime, anyplace, anywhere



Things just ain't what they used to be

Ain't what they ought to be

Ain't  what they 've got to be, gonna be probably



Things just ain't gonna get to me

Ain't gonna bother me

Ain't gonna worry me , hurry me, let'em be



Give me love,

Give me love, give me joy, give me pain

Give me light, give me starting again

Give me hope,

Give me hope, give me sun, give me rain

Get me up, get me dancing again

Give me life,

Give me life, give me high, give me low

Give me truth, give me something to know

Give me time,

Give me time, give me room, give me rope

Give me sign, give me reason to hope

GIVE ME LIFE

I'm Not Afraid

Oh, what a way to go

We're goin'down slow

We're movin'to the rhythm

We're letting  it flow

We're steppin'out of time

It's freaking your mind

We're livin'in the body

And we're doin'just fine



Tell me, tell me that you love me

Tell me, where's ya milk and honey

You know, we're doin'alright



Well, round and round we go

We're goin'down slow

We're shakin'to the rhythm

We're letting  it flow

We're steppin'out of time

It imprisons your mind

We're livin'in the body

And we're doin'just fine



Tell me, tell me that you love me

Tell me, where's ya milk and honey

Cause we're doin'alright

Tell me, tell me that you love me

Tell me, where's ya milk and honey

You know, we're doin'alright



I'm not afraid of nothing

I'm not afraid to cry

I'm not afraid to live

I'm not afraid to love

I'm not afraid to die 



I'm not afraid of laughter

I'm not afraid of tears

I'm not afraid to look

I'm not afraid to learn

I'm not afraid to hear 



I'm not afraid of darkness

I'm not afraid of night

I'm not afraid to win

I'm not afraid to lose

I'm not afraid fight 



I'm not afraid of anger

I'm not afraid of war

I'm not afraid to live

I'm not afraid to die

I'm not afraid at all 



'Cause it's a time for singing

And it's a time to dance

And it's a time to run

And it's a time to jump

And it's a time to chance 



It's a time for giving

And it's a time to care

And it's a time to choose

And it's a time to do

And it's a time to dare


  Up    Down  



Only Because Of You

And so we sail towards the dawn

Joining those who gently mourn for you

It's only because of you

Friends may come and friends may go

The only friend I need to know is you

It's only because of you

Mighty castles, lonely kings

Hear the ragged children sing it's you

It's only because of you

He who smiles at lofty schemes

Stems the tide of broken dreams is you

It's only because of you

It's only because of you 



And when the storms have died away

Only truth will live to say it's you

It's only because of you

And when the darkness flies away

Only love will shine to say it's true

It's only because of you

It's only because of you
