Harem

Sarah Brightman Harem Lyrics
1.Harem

Written:Sarah Brightman And Frank Peterson

('Harem opens with and feels like if you were transported
back into the Arabian Nights with the song Cancao
do Mar playing.
Then Sarah begins singing and then the song starts to sound
like dance and trance with Arabian music mixed in.' - Attila)

Burning sands winds of desire
Mirrored the waves that reflect a burning fire within my heart
Un-watered, feeding the flame
Welcoming you to my Harem

Sing for me a song of life's visage
Sing for me a tune of love's mirage

In his eyes sleep untold
Whispers that echo the days of all my soul
I hold your Eastern promise close to my heart
Welcoming you to my Harem

Sing for me a song of life's visage
Sing for me a tune of love's mirage

Time is change times will move us now
No escape, the passing sands of time
I hold your Eastern promise close to my heart
Welcoming you to my Harem


2.What A Wonderful World

Lyrics:George Weiss/Bob Thiele
Music:George Weiss/Bob Thiele

('What A Wonderful World is very slow and melancholy take on the
Louis
Armstrong original. Each word of the song beautiful extended by
Sarah's voice.
Sounds very exotic but also like out of this world, like you are
flying. Her voice builds throughout the song.' - Attila)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' 'How do you do?'
They're really saying 'I love you'

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah


3.It's A Beautiful Day

Written:Sarah Brightman/Frank Peterson/Christopher Von Dey

('It's A Beautiful Day has a dance beat to it. Sarah sings Un
bel di from
Madame Butterfly beautifully throughout the song.' - Attila)

un bel giorno...
un bel giorno per morire.

Un bel di, vedremo
levarsi un fil di fumo
dall'estremo confin del mare.
E poi la nave appare.

With every new day
Your promises fade away
It's a fine day to see
Though the last day for me
It's a beautiful day

It's the last day for me
It's a beautiful day

It's the last day for me
It's a beautiful day


4.What You Never Know

'What You Never Know is a quiet and slow song, again Sarah's
voice
projects like crystal. There is a simple arrangement of music
that escalates through the song. A Harp plays throughout,
it almost has an orient sound to it.' - Attila

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't say goodbye

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you cry

What you never know
What you never, never, never, know
What you never know

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know unless you try

What you never know won't hurt you


5.The Journey Home

'The Journey Home taken from Bombay Dreams. Sarah sounds
incredible.
After hearing the original version I fell in love with the song,
but now hearing Sarah sing it .... Wow!!!!!' - Attila

The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train
The journey home is never too long
Some yesterdays always remain

I'm going back to where my heart was light
When my pillow was a ship, I sailed through the night

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah,

The journey home is never too long
When open hearts are waiting there
The journey home is never too long
There's room to love and room to spare
I want to feel the way that I did then
And think my wishes through before I wish again

Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah,

Not every boat you come across is one you have to take
Now sometimes standing still can be the best move you ever make

The journey home is never too long
Comes helps to heal the deepest pain
The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train


6.Free

Written:Sarah Brightman/Sophie B.Hawkins

'Free, another slow song with a dance beat to it. It has
Gregorian monks
performing in the background. It sounds very mystical, like
enigma's music.
One of the most beautiful moments is Sarah singing along with
Nigel Kennedy's
violin playing at the end of the song.' - Attila

And do you still touch her like you do
Kissed all over in the way I kissed with you
Or when you sleep with her do you sometimes think of me
Not if you love her the way that I see
I Had to be free
Had to be free
It's all that I wanted

I wanted to see
Wanted to be
Alone if I needed

I Had to be free
Had to be free
From feelings that haunted

I wanted to see
Wanted to be
Free

And then in the evening light when the birds are free to fall
I watch the two of you in the shadows on the wall
How in the darkness stills some of the choices from my hand
Will I began to understand

I Had to be free
Had to be free
It's all that I wanted

I Wanted to see
Wanted to be
Alone if I needed

I Had to be free
Had to be free
From feelings that haunted

I wanted to see
Wanted to be
Free

I Had to be free
Had to be free
It's all that I wanted

I Wanted to see
Wanted to be
Alone if I needed

I Had to be free
Had to be free
From feelings that haunted

I wanted to see
Wanted to be
Free


7.Mysterious Days

'Mysterious Days has a definite dance beat.
It sounds very exotic. It has a great Arabian beat.
Ofra Haza's voice compliments Sarah's voice perfectly.' - Attila


8.The War is Over

Written:Sarah Brightman/Kristian Draude/Patrick Benzner

'The War is Over is a beautiful love duet between Sarah and
Kazem
Al-Sahir, the music stays with you long after the song ends. The
music
sweeps you away. I really can see it as a song of peace.
The video must absolutely be breathtaking.' - Attila

My statures are falling
Like feathers of snow
Their voices are calling
In whispering word waiting for the morning light

Heaven is calling
From rainy shores

Counting wounded lights falling
Into their dreams still searching for an open door

In morning dew,
a glorious scene came through,
like war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

The moments unfold
In the meaning of love
This war is over now

I feel I'm coming home again

An arrow of freedom
Is piercing my heart
Breaking chains of emotion
Given a moment to pray
Lost innocence to find its way

Feelings of sensation
A cry in the dark
Hope is on the horizon
With a reason to stay
And living for a brand new day

In morning dew,
a glorious scene came through,
like war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

The moments unfold
In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

In morning dew,
a glorious scene came through,
like war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again

The moments unfold
In the meaning of love
This war is over now
I feel I'm coming home again


9.Misere Mei

'Misere Mei is an interlude music between the War is Over and
Beautiful.
It sounds very holy almost religious. Male and Female choirs
singing
together.' - Attila


10.Beautiful

Artist:Sarah Brightman/Gunther Laudahn

'Beautiful continues where Misere Mei left off, it has a pop
beat and
sound. Once again Sarah's emphasis on the word Beautiful grows
with leaps and bounds.
Again, very exotic sounding.' - Attila

If you can depend
On certainty
Count it out and weigh it up again
You can be sure
You've reached the end
And still you don1t feel

Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
You are yes, you are, yes you are

If you can ignore
What you've become
Take it out and see it die again
You can be here
So who's a friend
and still you don1t feel

Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
You are yes, you are, yes you are

Yes, you are
Innermost thoughts
Will be understood and
you can have all you need

Do you know, you're beautiful, do you know
about anything

Do you know, you're beautiful, do you know
about anyone

Do you know you're beautiful

Do you know you're beautiful
You are, yes, you are, yes, you are

Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
Do you know you're beautiful
You are yes, you are, yes you are

You are
Yes, you are
Yes, you are


11.Arabian Nights

'Arabian Nights starts with an intro music piece of Sarah
singing, then
moves into 7 minutes of Arabian and Middle Eastern music
influenced by
pop with Sarah singing. The song is a total of 8 minutes long.'
- Attila

Part 1:Scimatar Moon
Lyrics: Sarah Brightman, Brian Johnson

Don't you forget the echo's of time
Won't you regret the losing of minds
In my dreams I'm searching across the
desert sands for you
Scimatar moon is guiding me close to your side

Part 2: Voyage
Music: Carsten Heussmann, Sarah Brightman, Frank Peterson
Lyrics: Sarah Brightman,

Voyage
Voyage
Wilderness to wilderness
I traveled from afar
On the soft wind of the Nadq came
Fragrance of Araar
Splendor of a thousand suns shone glory in my path
No love more pure and rage more fierce
Could still my beating heart
Voyage
Voyage

Part 3: Promise

So
Should I return to trace the shadows of my chases
My steps will echo there from sand to stone
I Will never let my eyelids close on empty spaces
My dreams will find the void with tales unknown
Know the mighty infinite obscures the far horizon
The whispered road I take will never bend
Alone
And will the wind return my story to its promise
Or will my story chase me to my end

Part 4: Hamesha
Music: Sarah Brightman and Frank Peterson

Arabic Lyrics

Part 5: Alone
Lyrics: Sarah Brightman

Melodies unspoken
Flowing from the lotus of my heart
Ending where we start

Promises unbroken
Promising a never-ending fire
Of love beyond desire
Ending where we start


12.Stranger in Paradise

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's the danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare
Somewhere in space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care

Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more


13.Until the End of Time

Lyrics:Sarah Brightman
Music:Frank Peterson/Lukas Hilbert/Sarah Brightman

'Until the End of Time has a pop/ Arabian sound to it. Sarah's
crystal
voice is captured throughout the song - beautiful.
The song travels through your mind, like you are on a journey.'
- Attila

Around the world in eighty days we sailed the
Seven seas
A thousand nights and one, and forty more
In fantasy
The prophecy in destiny was falling
Calling
Falling
And calling out to me

And will we find our destination
Within a time of resignation
A night of poetry and motion
At 69, until the end of time
If I were God and ruled the world
I'd spin a wheel of dreams
Of waking in paradise

And shadows in between
The prophecy in destiny was falling
Calling
Falling
And calling out to me

And will we find our destination
Within a time of resignation
A night of poetry and motion
At 69, until the end of time

Was there in a moment in madness
And then a momentary sadness
A night of poetry and motion
All at 69, until the end of time


14.You take my breath away

'You Take My Breath Away sounds the same as on the Fly album, it
perfectly compliments Harem.' - Attila

We saw the holy men
come in from Sanchi
We touched their souls
and heard the Martyrs crying
Among the fields of red
We took the strange brew
The windless sky diwali
Moon were calling to me
The deeper I go
The higher I fly with you

You take my breath away
Ooho you...
