Outside-From The Redwoods

Kenny Loggins Outside-From The Redwoods Lyrics
1.Angry Eyes

Time, time and again i see you staring down at me
Now, then and again i wonder what it is that you see
With those angry eyes
Well, i bet you wish you could cut me down
With those angry eyes

You want to believe that i am not the same as you
And now i can't conceive, oh lord, of what it is you're trying
to do
With those angry eyes
Well, i bet you wish you could cut me down
With those angry eyes
What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me
With those angry eyes

You and i must start to realize
Blindness binds us in a false disguise
Can you see me through those angry eyes?

You try to defend that you are not the one to blame
But i'm finding it hard, my friend, when i 'm in the deadly aim
Of those angry eyes
Well, i bet you wish you could cut me down
With those angry eyes
What a shot you could be if you could shoot at me
With those angry eyes


2.Celebrate Me Home

Home for the holidays,
I believe i've missed each and every face,
Come on and play my music,
Let's turn on the love light in the place

It's time i found myself,
Totally surrounded in your circles
Whoa, my friends

Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That i'll always remember,
And i can recall,
Whenever i find myself too all alone,
I can sing me home.

Uneasy highway,
Traveling where the westerly winds can fly,
Somebody tried to tell me,
But the men forgot to tell me why,

I gotta count on being gone,
Come on woman, come on daddy,
Be what you want from me,
I'm this strong, i'll be weak

Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,
That i'll always remember,
I can recall,
Whenever i find myself too all alone,
I can make believe i've never gone,
I never know where i belong,
Sing me home.

Please, celebrate me home,
Give me a number,
Please, celebrate me home
Play me one more song,

Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate, celebrate
Celebrate me home

Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Well i'm finally here,
But i'm bound to roam,
Come on celebrate me home
Well i'm finally here,
But i'm bound to roam,
Come on celebrate me home
Well i'm finally here,
But i'm bound to roam,
Come on celebrate me home
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,
Please, celebrate me home,

3.Conviction Of The Heart

Where are the dreams that we once had?
This is the time to bring the back.
What were the promises caught on the tips of our tongues?
Do we forget or forgive?
There's a whole other life waiting to be lived when...
One day we're brave enough
To talk with conviction of the heart.
And down your streets i've walked alone,
As if my feet were not my own
Such is the path i chose, doors i have opened and closed
I'm tired of living this life,
Fooling myself, believing we're right, when...
I've never given love
With any conviction of the heart
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe we'll survive
If we only try...
How long must we wait to change
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
And be forgiven?
It's been too many years of taking now.
Isn't it time to stop somehow?
Air that's too angry to breathe, water our children can't drink
You've heard it hundreds of times
You say your aware, believe, and you care, but...
Do you care enough
To talk with conviction of the heart?


4.Footloose

I been working so hard
Keep punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what i got
I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else i'll tear up this town
Tonight i gotta cut
(chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your sunday shoes
Please, louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're yearning, burning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut
(chorus)
Loose, footloose
Kick off your sunday shoes
Oowhee, marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, milo
C'mon, c'mon let go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
First - we got to turn you around
Second - you put your feet on the ground
Third - now take a hold of your soul
Four - whooooooooa, i'm turning it
Loose, footloose
(chorus)


5.I'm Alright

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Do what you like,
Doing it nat'rally
But if it's too easy
They're gonna disagree

It's your life
And isn't it a mystery
If it's nobody's bus'ness
It's everybody's game

Gotta catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away

Some cinderella kid

Get it up and get you a job
(dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

Who do you want?
Who you be today?
And who is it really
Makin' up your mind?

You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while i got you in the mood
Listen to your

Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'
Own heart beatin'

Don't it get you movin'

Mmmmm-man

It make me feel good

(wow, cinderella kid)

Then give it up and give it the job

(dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
(boom, boom, boom, boom)

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
Don't nobody worry 'bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don't you just let me be

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?

I'm alright
I'm alright
Just let me be


6.If You Believe

Time, of rise and fly, over me, to the sea,
Love is a pride, wait for me, wait for me,

If you believe in me,
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of the seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Running in circles,
Desperate we hold to yours and mine,
Using my body,
Closing our hearts and eyes.

Oh no, open the door and let the wind blow,
Take my hand, together we stand in the eye of the hurricane.

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of the seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Every nation, every woman, child and man
Comes on a moment, where they must take a stand,

Oh no, forget what you know, just let the wind blow,
Blown apart, you open your heart, and that's where anything can
be.

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of our seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Out of control, out of my mind, at last,
Into my dreams, we sailed away.

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of our seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Oh sing it children
(if you believe in me)
Got to believe
(i will believe in what will be,)
Tell 'em what you want
(we want the world you've only dreamed of,)
World you've only dreamed of
(promise of our seasons,)
(give us the future please, )
(that's all we need of you.)

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of our seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.


7.I Would Do Anything

Love, where are we going,
And when do we reach the promise on the horizon,

Out on the ocean, under a sunset,
I was invited to come out and play a while
With magic and move a mountain.

Has anyone ever captured the sun,
Is the eagle ever truly tame,
Given just a little time,
I know that you'll find a way.

I would do anything for you,
Give up the world i've made me
And take you away,
I swear from now on,
The trust in my heart,
The vision of you in my life

My love,
I will be faithful,
But how can i make a promise
To a place i've never been?

Something has taken me off,
And i don't know if i will survive.
I believe that everything
I'll ever need is here by the roadside.

How can you fly,
Keeping heaven in sight,
Blinded by the light of day?

Given just a little time,
I know that i'll find a way

I would do anything for you,
Listen with all of my spirit,
For ecstasy calling,
You know i believe,
Cause all i have seen,
From the mountain,
The view from the heart.

I would do anything for you,
Give up the world i've made me
And take you away,
I swear from here on,
The trust in my god,
The vision of you in my life

Freedom is mine,
One beat at a time,
Where are we going,
I just don't know yet,
How will we make it,
I just can't say,
All that i know is that we've finally sailed away.

Seems everyone's made a prison of love,
But if anybody can escape,
Given just a little time,
I know that we'll find a way.

I would do anything for you,
Listen with all of my spirit,
For ecstasy calling,
You know i believe,
Cause all i have seen,
From the mountain,
The view from the heart.

I would do anything for you,
Give up the world i've made me
And take you away,
I swear from here on,
The trust in my god,
The vision of you in my life

In my arms, i'll pray
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby


8.Leap Of Faith

He opened the door and walked away,
Sometimes a selfless step is all it takes,
From the mountain, he can watch it all burn,
Welcome friend, to the point of no return

Once in a life, you can find a time to see,
And you get to turn it down, turn around, temporary sanity
And then the mountain disappears without a trace,
All it took, was a sudden leap of faith

(homeward, let your spirit rise, )
Darling, i'm waiting for you
(homeward, one step at a time)
(homeward, watch it like a child)
When will i reach the ocean
(i'm filled with mixed emotion)
(i'll wait for you)
(i'll wait for you)
I'm waiting for you baby
(i'll wait for you)
(i'll wait for you)

How and why?
And the bough broke back to sea(?)
He was overcome, by how it happened all so easily,
And as he stood there, with the moonlight on his face,
He was stunned by a sudden leap of faith.

Darling, i'm waiting for you
(homeward, one step at a time)
(homeward, watch it like a child)
When will i reach the ocean,
Moving in slow motion now
(you know it's the truth)
(you've done all a man can do)

{long instrumental, scat break}

Homeward, let your spirit rise,
Homeward, one step at a time,
Homeward, watch it like a child,

Homeward, let your spirit rise,
Homeward, one step at a time,
Homeward, watch it like a child,
Homeward

9.Love Will Follow

I run out of breath and start to shake
I love you with all my heart can take
I hold you beside me in my sleep
And long to be dreaming in my sleep

We've come into a place in time
Where i am yours and you're mine
A circle filled with love

If you'll come away with me
I could show you ecstasy
Close your eyes and we will lead
And love will follow

Take a chance and hold my hand
I know you'll understand
We'll find a special land
And love will follow

A smile on your lips and in your eyes
A stranger adrift in paradise
You touch me and slowly move away
Take all of the night you need to take

Just wait a little while and see
What you mean to me
I've waited all my life

If you come away with me
I could show you ecstasy
Close your eyes and we will lead
And love will follow

Use your wings and fly away
And come with me today
Your heart will lead the way
And love will follow

(if this was just a chance of make-believe)
(you'd never feel it this way)
I've always wanted to love somebody
As much as i, i wanted you now


We've come into a place in time
Where i am yours and you're mine
A circle filled with love

If you'll come away with me
I could show you ecstasy
Close your eyes and we will lead
And love will follow

Take a chance and hold my hand
I know you'll understand
We'll find a special land
And love will follow

Girl, i swear i'll never fall
It's a natural pure law
And everywhere we go
Love will follow

Use your wings to fly away
And come with me today
Your heart will lead the way
And love will follow


(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)
(hold me long, all night long, where you belong, my baby)

10.Now And Then

She sings to me now and then
Gentle refrains of summer mornings
The first rays of sunlight
And dew-dropped roses

Winds rolling through falling leaves
Whistling in the sycamores
These are her songs of love

She needs to be reassured
Of all of the hope you hold for her
And when the lady loves you
Don't ever let it go
Take your world into your arms
And let your feelings show

And she, never will leave
Always these memories will stay with me
And i'll think of her now and then

She, she needs to be reassured
Of all of the hope you hold for her
And brother, when the lady loves you
Don't ever let it go
Take your world into your arms
And let your feelings show

And she, never will leave
Always these memories will stay with me
And i'll think of her now and then


11.This Is It

There have been times in my life
I've been wondering why
Still somehow i believed
We'd always survive
Now i'm not so sure
You're waiting to hear
One good reason to try
But what more can i say
What's left to provide
You think that maybe it's over
Only if you want it to be
Are you gonna wait for your sign, your
Miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
Don't be a fool anymore
This is it
The waiting is over
No room to run
No way to hide
No time for wondering why
It's here
The moment is now
About to decide
Let him believe
Or leave him behind
But keep me near in your heart
And know, whatever you do
I'm here by your side
You said that maybe it's over
Not if you don't want it to be
For once in your life, here's your miracle
Stand up and fight
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
You're going no further
This is it
Until it's over and done
No one can tell you what you know
Who makes the choice of how it goes
It's not up to me this time
You know
There comes a day in every life
This is it
Make no mistake where you are
This is it
You're going no further
This is it
Until it's over and done
This is it
One way or another
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it
Your back's to the corner
This is it
You make the choice of how it goes
This is it
The waiting is over
This is it
No one can tell what the future holds
This is it
You're going no further


12.What A Fool Believes

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realized
It never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As she rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him ...
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe
There's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As she rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees ...


13.Your Mama Don't Dance

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
But when evening comes around and it's time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - you gotta rock it

The old folks say that ya gotta end your date
By ten
But if you're out on a date don't you
Bring her home late cuz it's a sin
You know there's no excuse
You know you're gonna lose you never win
I'll say it again

And it's all because your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - to rock it, rock it

(lead)
Everyone gather round let me tell you all
About it
You see i pulled into a drive-in and
I found a place to park
We hopped into the backseat where it's
Always nice and dark
I'm just about to move thinking to myself mmm
Bret this is a breeze
Then there's a light in my eye and a guy says
Out of the car long hair
Oowee - you're coming with me
Said the local police

And it's all because your mama don't dance
And your daddy don't rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
When evenin' rolls around and it's time to
Hit the town
Where do you go - play me a little c.c.

(lead)

Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
Your mama don't dance and your daddy don't
Rock and roll
They just ain't cool and they ain't about to start
Your mama don't dance and you daddy don't rock

Your mama don't dance, no
She just don't dance, no
You mama don't dance
And you daddy don't rock and roll, oww no
