1.Everywhere I Go
Lyricist:Michael Been
Raise me up
Keep that promise that you made
Wake me up
Keep that promise that you made
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I look for you
(Everywhere I go)
I need you
(Everywhere I, everywhere I go)
Straight has curve
Smiles, eyes, powers to confound me
I lose my nerve
Your voice, it echoes all around me
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I look for you everywhere
(Everywhere I go)
I must have you
(Everywhere I, everywhere I, everywhere I go)
Ease me down
Keep that promise that you made to me
Take my hand
My mind reels, all my senses rise
I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
Lord, I think of you
(Everywhere I go)
I look for you
(Everywhere I go)
I need you
(Everywhere I go)
Lord, I need you everywhere I go
(Everywhere I go)
I look for you everywhere
(Everywhere I go)
I need you
(Everywhere I go)
I must have you
(Everywhere I, everywhere I, everywhere I)
(Everywhere I)
Everywhere I go, go
2.Blood Red (America)
Lyricist:Michael Been
Did we ask for trouble when we asked for breath?
A silent witness put to the test
In a frozen moments an offering made
Foreign rumors live to this day, sing on yeah
Do, you feel protected inside the white walls?
A world neglected heads for a fall
A fate suspended each day is a gift
A world offended, God what is this?
He says, 'We'll walk in the front door
And proudly raise our heads'
I say, 'Man you must be joking
Our hands are covered in blood red'
Got a way that's easy, the territory's marked
Hurl us backwards back to the start
A cool deception, a gifted tongue
Nations falling down, down, down
He says, 'We'll walk in the front door
And proudly raise our heads'
I say, 'Man you must be foolin'
Our hands are covered in blood red'
Well, I see you standing beneath the tree
Your hands uplifted, on bended knee
In a fateful hour you hear another voice
I must remember what was my choice
He says, 'I am the one, the one for you'
A look in your eyes can tell me what to do'
I feel ecstatic, I feel tranformed
More than conquered down to the bone
Yeah then we'll walk in right through heaven's door
And proudly raise our heads
I say, 'Man you must be dreaming
Our hands are covered blood red'
It covered blood red
3.With or Without Reason
Lyricist:Michael Been
How you gonna tell your story?
Are you gonna tell it true?
Either with or without reason
Love has paid the price for you
Now how you gonna cure this feeling?
How you gonna right this wrong?
Either with or without reason
The weaker do protect the strong
Listen in your hour of comfort
Just listen in your hour of pain
Either in or out of season
The hunters still pursue the game
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
Now lately I've begun to wonder
Just who is talking when you speak?
Either with or without reason
The stronger still pursue the weak
Now the wisest of the fools can tell you
Anything you want to hear
Either with or without reason
These are truths you hold so dear
And oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
I dedicate this inner chamber
I dedicate this harvest toil
Either with or without reason
The language of the heart takes hold
Now don't you see that love offends us
When it rises up against this waste
Either with or without reason
Evidence of sin and grace
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody near
Oh, there's somebody waiting
Oh, there's somebody here
4.Sanctuary
Lyricist:Michael Been
There's a certain feeling
Known to all who hear the sound
The call of morning rising
You're in a mystic space
Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind
As it names you
Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
Until the end I'll fight and die, to be free
Oh! No sanctuary
You're walking halfway in
But crawling halfway out
There's a void in your mind that you cling to
You feel lost in time, you've got no words to rhyme
No more charms, no more spells to protect you
Oh can't you see the lies in front of you
Your journey ends so far, and still the distance
Spins round and round you
Now you cry - give me sanctuary
You scream, but no one listens
Again you cry - give me sanctuary
Until the end I'll fight and die
Oh I've got to be free
5.Oklahoma
Lyricist:Michael Been
One, two
One, two, three
We were shaking in our beds that night
There were strangers in the streets that night
Preacher cried out hells been raised
The preacher cried out hells been raised
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another hot Oklahoma night
The kind of night where you just sit still
The kind of night where you just don't move
We were shaking in our beds that night
We were shaking in our boots that night
Tornado hit and the roof gave way
Tornado hit and all we could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How an I to face what I cannot hide
We were looking in our hearts that day
There was movement in our hearts that day
They were talking but we could not hear
They were talking but we could not hear
Fever broke and the dead's raised up
Ground broke open and the dead were raised
The kind of night where you just sit spooked
In a hard life is, in a hard life in
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were hugging in our beds that night
Storm hit and the roof gave way
When a man say it ain't easy
And he swore duty, body and soul
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to say what I can't describe
How am I to face what I cannot hide
One, two, three
Momma said you know she ain't strong
We were looking in our hearts that day
We were praying in our hearts that day
We were praying but we could not feel
We were praying but we could not feel
Another hot Oklahoma night
Another Oklahoma night
Fools part as the day breaks wide
Heaven's doors were opened wide
I quit, so I said give up
Said I can't stop the lights not gone
When a heart rips me open and all I could do was pray
How was I to know what I was to think
How was I to know what I was to feel
How am I to face what I cannot hide
How am I to face what I cannot hide
6.Even Now
Lyricist:Michael Been
Hey hey
Chased, chased out into the woods
Footsteps close behind my back
I never knew how close I stood
Shame has brought me to my knees
Love protects the heart, is it just as you please?
Fights, fights up and down each shore
We may be outnumbered here
The lions start to roar, cry, cry for all to hear
Cry, the world goes on
Would you lend me your ear for a moment?
I still care, even now
Chased, chased by the angry mob
Trying to steal my heart from me
Steal from me my love for God
Watch as stars fall from the sky
Wait until the oceans dry up
But even then I still feel loved
Even so, I feel cared for, even now
So look in my eyes again
Do you recognize my face?
One of despair again
Is it gone without a trace?
I feel I'm alive again, rescued from the void
Here I'm alone with you
Here I'm at home with you, even now
Look, look they're running close behind
Those you thought your enemies
Are friends now standing by your side
Fight for every step you take
Shaped by every lie you've ever heard
Pain, pain, the pain I've been forced to see
Blame, the blame belongs
To no one but me but oh, I still care
Even so, I still feel loved
Even so, even here, even now
Even now, even now, even now
7.Turn a Blind Eye
Lyricist:Michael Been
To the desperate young, turn a blind eye
To the old and lonely, turn a blind eye
To our inhumanity
To our death dealing vanity
To the methods of persuasion, turn a blind eye
To the masters of evasion, turn
To the science of control, turn a blind eye
To a world in chains, turn turn
To the sellers of illusion, turn a blind eye
To masters of confusion, turn a blind eye
To a hollow culture
To the circling vulture
To lovers of power, turn a blind eye
And to a final hour, turn a blind eye
To the resurrection
To a world in chains, turn turn
I don't want to get involved
It's not my problem
I'll just ignore it
I don't want to feel this
To the starving children, turn a blind eye
To your own redemption, turn
To the horror of extinction
To a world in chains, turn turn turn
8.The Morning
Lyricist:Michael Been
I am standing at the edge of my mind
If I look in, I might fall in, I sense danger
I'm divided, but I've decided, it's my nature
But if I look back, I might fall back into yesterday
He was weeping as the morning had just broken
He says, 'I'm a young man, I got nothing to say
I got reasons for my feeling so disheartened
I am shocking to myself every day'
I am standing at the edge of my mind
If I look in, I might fall in, I sense danger
I'm divided, but I've decided, it's my nature
But if I look back, I might fall back into yesterday, yesterday,
yesterday
I wanna run, I wanna shout, I wanna make thunder
Wanna know what kind of spell I've fallen under
Show me, show me
I wanna live, I wanna breath, I wanna love hard
I wanna give my life to you
Tell me, oh oh, tell me, oh oh
I wanna laugh, I wanna sing, I wanna love you
Let me give my life over to you
Lose me in you, love tonight
He was standing in this dark, dark corner
He says, 'I'm a poor man, I got nothing to show'
He said, 'Please, please remember me when you leave here
Or I just might follow you home'
I am standing at the edge of my mind
If I look in, I might fall in, I sense danger
I'm divided, but I've decided, it's my nature
Oh but if I look back, I might fall back into yesterday
I am standing at the edge of my mind
9.Us
Lyricist:Michael Been
I don't care for cruel confrontations
I don't care for cool conversations
I don't care much for a life of crime
I don't care much for violent times
But I care about love
And I care about truth
And I care about trust
And I care about you
And I care about us
I don't care about the art of war
I hate to think of what all this killing's for
I don't care for all this competition
Fortune tellers, superstitions
But I care about love
And I care about truth
And I care about trust
And I care about you
And I care about us
I don't care for phony affectations, oh no
I don't care for this manipulation, oh no
I don't care much for forced affection
I don't care to pursue perfection
But I care about love
And I care about truth
And I care about trust
And I care about you
And I care about us
And I care about us
10.You Were There
Lyricist:Been Michael (usa)
Saw a man's home, a box made of cardboard
Frozen to the bone, can't take much more
He says Lord I need help here, send me a strong hand
To lift me from the street, help me to stand
I've been forgotten, been forsaken
Poisoned by a bottle I could not shake it
I've been passed over, been rejected
And I'm afraid I'll never feel
The warmth of summer come again
Man I am helpless, I'm freezing
You were there, you were there
I saw a sick man on a sick bed
Scorned by the world like he had two heads
He says I'm a man here dying a cruel death
I'm cut off from the world, man it was so sad
He was suffering, he was ailing
Tortured by his fate, his body was failing
He says I'm an outcast, left defenseless
And I'm afraid that I'll be dead
Before the summer comes again
I've been rejected, man I am dying
You were there, you were there
Saw a rich man alone in a dark house
A prison made of gold he could not break out
He says my life is aimless, it just seems pointless
Boredom truly kills, man I am hopeless
I got diamonds, I got houses
I got silver clouds and silver spoons to match it
I've come up empty, man I am desperate
And I never want to feel
The warmth of summer come again
I'll be forgotten, my life is over
You were there, you were there
You were there, Lord, you were there
11.Scene beyond Dreams
Lyricist:M Been
So where to begin
Let's start with a child
And where will it end
Where the perfect guest meets his fate
In a scene beyond dreams
I stand where I stand
Convinced by the sight
We hold in our hands
Darkness and light where they meet
In a scene beyond dreams and a mother cries
And she cries
So we watch, and we wait
And we watch, and the hero dies
So where do we fit
Earthbound and chained
Can this be it
Visions of prophets and kings
From a scene beyond dreams
Scattered and armed
Fuel to the fire
Compassion, alarm
Images fade into scenes
Beyond dreams
The awaited appears
Branded with lies
He calls to his own
Loved and despised
From a scene beyond dreams and a mother cries
And she cries
And we watch, and we wait
And we watch, and the hero dies
12.I Still Believe
Lyricist:Michael Been, James Goodwin
I been in a cave for forty days
Only a spark to light my way
I wanna give out, I wanna give in
This is our crime, this is our sin
But I still believe, I still believe
Through the pain and through the grief
Through the lives, through the storms
Through the cries and through the wars
Oh, I still believe
And flat on my back out at sea
Hopin' these waves, don't cover me
I'm turned and tossed upon the waves
When the darkness comes, I feel the grave
But I still believe, I still believe
Through the cold and through the heat
Through the rain and through the tears
Through the crowds and through the cheers
Oh, I still believe
I'll march this road, I'll climb this hill
Upon on my knees if I have to
I'll take my place up on this stage
I'll wait 'til the end of time for you like everybody else
I'm out on my own, walkin' the streets
Look at the faces that I meet
I feel like I, like I want to go home
What do I feel? What do I know?
But I still believe, I still believe
Through the shame and through the grief
Through the heartache, through the tears
Through the waiting, through the years
For people like us in places like this
We need all the hope that we can get
Oh, I still believe
13.Modern Romans
Lyricist:Michael Been
Modern Romans, false gods
Colonial maneuvers, the writings on the wall
Maybe a solution working on a clue
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
Modern Romans, lies on parade
Instruction to the masses, protect us they say
Looking for answers, working it through
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
Your judgment is demanding, you push beyond the need
World domination, runaway greed
Maybe, just maybe, maybe its true
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
Tired of your judgments, your demands
Forgiveness is beyond you, you will never understand
You love the nightlife, stepping with crowd
Do you know desperation, have you ever cried out loud
Total repetition
Total repetition
Total repetition
Modern Romans, false gods
Colonial maneuvers, pagan sword
Maybe there's an answer, looking for a clue
Now we know for certain, now we know for sure
14.The Walls Came Down
Lyricist:Michael Been
Well
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They're not laughing anymore
The walls came down
Sanctuary fades, congregation splits
Nightly military raids, the congregation splits
It's a song of assassins, ringin' in your ears
We got terrorists thinking, playing on fears
Oh
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They'd all been warned
But the walls came down
I don't think there are any Russians
And there ain't no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin' with tanks
Die, die, die, die
Yes, come on
Die, die
Come on, come on, come on
Die, die, wake up
Wake up
Die, die
Go, yeah
Die, die, die, die, die, die
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Die, die
15.War Weary World
Lyricist:Michael Been
Well, it only took a moment
For the cages to explode
I say it must be released
From corruption of the soul, but oh
Have you heard the latest cry?
Yeah, we've heard it all before
A weapon falls from the sky
Yeah we've seen it all before
Buildings live and people die
War weary world
It's the song of quiet courage
From the children of the night
That learned the price of freedom
They've learned to live to fight
Have you heard the reasons why?
Yeah we've heard it all before
But have you seen the nation cry?
Yeah we've seen it all before
Many times, many times
War weary world
War weary world
Love breaks a man
Sends him ruin
Love rebuilds him
Brings him ruin
It's a time of strange teaching
Hear the moanings of regret
From the schools of revolution
The stages have been set
Oh, but listen
It seems wars are meant to happen
And pain is meant to be
But if hope is eternal
Then a hiding place for you and me
Have you heard the latest cry?
Yeah we've heard it all before
A weapon falls from the sky
Yeah we've seen it all before
Buildings live and people die
War weary world
War weary world
16.Let The Day Begin
Lyricist:Michael Kenneth Been
Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travellers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars
Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin
Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start
Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere
Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent war
Here's to the closing of the age
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start
17.We Know Too Much
Lyricist:John Mark Heard
I went down where the road meets the sea
And I took everything that I owned
I was sitting on catastrophes knee
I was expecting Armageddon to come
The highway was choked with its usual
Clots of pick-ups and loud radios
And the airwaves were full of the obvious
I was muttering, 'Oh, what have we done'
You cried out to stop me
You cried out to stop me
I said oh no, it's too late
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
Well, I dreamed that we found bloody guns
As we're looking for the holes in the air
Someone shouted we were the ones
So I stepped on the gas in despair
I woke up from the dream in a sweat
With the knowledge of evil and good
I looked at my own silhouette
In the back with a bad attitude
You reached out to touch me
You reached out to touch me
I said oh no, it's too true
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
In our hearts we were wandering gypsies
In our mind we were heirs to the druids
To the poor we were swaddled in riches
To the rich we had nothing but poor
We don't know what become of our fortunes
Into the rescue or into the lines
We are gathering speed through this tunnel
To go down where the truth meets the lie
You reached out to soothe me
You reached out to soothe me
I said it's too cruel
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
You and me, we know too much
18.Uncovered
Lyricist:Michael Kenneth Been, James Paul Goodwin
You surround me, covered
You seduce my soul
All my fears uncovered as my life unfolds
In the warmth of your arms
You awake my senses
I was torn in doubt
Losing all defenses
When you called me out
I return to the heart of a love eternal
Waiting there for me
19.Like You've Never Been Loved
Lyricist:Been Michael Kenneth
I'm gonna love you like you've never been loved
I'm gonna kiss you like you've never been kissed
I'm gonna hold you like you've never been held
I'm gonna miss you like you've never been missed
I do believe you hold my soul in your hands
I understand I see the world through your eyes
'Cause when it hurts it really, really hurts
And when you cry everything cries
I'm gonna love you like you've never been loved
I'm gonna kiss you like you've never been kissed
I'm gonna hold you like you've never been held
I'm gonna miss you like you've never been missed
Why do you keep me up in the air?
Make no mistake, oh you got inside of me
Why don't you tell me what you want me to hear?
Make no excuse, oh, you got the best of me
I'm gonna love you like you've never been loved
I'm gonna kiss you like you've never been kissed
I'm gonna hold you like you've never been held
I'm gonna miss you like you've never been missed
20.A Swim In The Ocean
Lyricist:Been Michael Kenneth
I'm too young to have problems
I'm too old to play games
I'm too wise to be standing
Standing in the pouring rain
I'm too smart to be hungry
I'm too hard to be meek
I'm too proud to be sorry
I'm too strong to be weak
Go take a swim in the ocean
Go take a swim in the sea
Go take a swim in the ocean
Who's gonna care about me?
I'm too brave to be frightened
I don't keep to the rules
I'm too sharp to heed warning
I ain't nobody's fool
Go take a swim in the ocean
Go take a swim in the sea
Go take a swim in the ocean
Who's gonna care about me?
I'm too cold to have heartaches
I'm too wise to lose aim
Too controlled to get angry
I'm too strong to feel pain
I'm too rich to be lonely
I'm too wild to have kids
I'm too strong to need a family
I'm too proud to give in
Go take a swim in the ocean
Go take a swim in the sea
Go take a swim in the ocean
Who's gonna want me?
How you gonna find me?
How you gonna love me, babe?
21.What A Day
Lyricist:Been Michael, Goodwin James Paul
Take a black rose, turn it red
Take a weak man and help him to stand
Take a young boy, make him fly
Take a hard man and make him cry
Struggle, what a day
Take a half life and make it whole
Take a poor man from the cold
Take a proud man, make him crawl
Take a small man and make him tall
Takes muscle, what a day
Take a black rose, turn it red
Take a worn man and help him stand
Take a tame boy, make him wild
Take a sad girl and make her smile
It's a struggle, what a day
22.Floating Back
Lyricist:Been Michael Kenneth
I'm floating back to a deeper need
Some childhood memory
What did you take from me
I'm floating back to an early stage
Before the birth of fear
Before the birth of rage
I find it hard to speak
So much remains unsung
For there's a million miles
Between my heart and my tongue
I ask for patience please
Beg for my heart's release
Haunting memories
Could put an end to me
I'm floating back
I'm floating back to a younger day
Was this some fantasy
What have you kept from me
I'm floating back to a hidden past
I tried to hide away
I knew it couldn't last
When just a look from you
Could bring me to my knees
This haunting memory
Could put an end to me
A bitter cry of need
Some sorrow never ends
I'm floating back to you
I'm floating back again
I'm floating back
I'm floating back to my father's chair
Where I began to feel
Where I began to care
I'm floating back to my mother's home
What did she say to me
Your past now you must own
The sun may never set
This struggle lives and breathes
This haunting memory
Could put an end to me
But love awaits us all
My portion I receive
This haunting memory
Could be the cure for me
I'm floating back
23.Red Moon
Lyricist:Been Michael Kenneth
It's a quiet night by a still lake
The child falls, the bough breaks
Trust fails, play ends
Faith is born, the work begins
Dawn breaks in a strange world
Of violent men and painted girls
Love comes, love goes
And the world goes by
I've seen lows, I've seen highs
I've seen days when I had to cry
The light fades and the night comes
The streets are dark and dangerous
I dream of an old friend
Of quiet talks that never end
Love comes, Love goes
And the world goes by
There's an old man on his last legs
Calls his children to his bed
He reaches out to an empty space
A smile comes to that gentle face
I dream of a new world
Where vows are made, where a cry is heard
Love dies, love grows and the world goes by
A warm wind and a red moon and the world goes by
It's a sweet life by a still lake
The creature falls, the bough breaks
The word is out, there's no denial
The past weighs on the reconciled
I'd follow you to the ends of this earth
Through the raging storms, through the pain of birth
Love comes, love goes and the world goes by
A warm wind, a red moon and the world goes by
24.The Hand That Feeds You
Lyricist:Michael Kenneth Been
You trust in money, you trust in gold
You pray for riches from heaven above
You build a mansion from a pile of sand
You trust in power
But you bite the hand that feeds you
The hand that feeds you
You bow to leaders with a mindless voice
You honor rumor with a vicious quote
You vow allegiance to a fool's command
You trust in country
But you bite that hand that feeds you
The hand that feeds you
You trust religion and an honest face
Television and outer space
You trust in words that you don't understand
You trust in glory
But you bite the hand that feeds you
The hand that feeds you
The burden of freedom in a broken world
The hand that feeds you
You're obsessed with pleasure, obsessed with fame
Outer beauty and royal names
You trust in image and a promised land
You're a slave to comfort
But you bite the hand that feeds you
You trust in money, you trust in gold
You trust in soldiers and the ways of war
You're a slave to victory and violent stands
You cry for freedom
But you bite the hand that feeds you
The hand that feeds you
To bear the burden of freedom in a broken world
The hand that feeds you
25.Closer
Lyricist:Michael Kenneth Been, James Paul Goodwin
Why with you is it always all or nothing
What seemed important then now turns to dust
I know it hurts to be this lonely
I know it's hard to live life out of trust
But night cannot reveal the coming morning
And morning never knows how the day will end
But me without you, I'm left here wanting
Lost inside my own life once again
Closer, closer
I'm feeling my way in the cold light of day
Closer, closer
I'm feeling my way, nearer each day
Why does it always feel like I am running backwards
There's always just one more mile to go
And all this time we've struggled just like lovers
A struggle that no words could ever show
You must have sensed I was growing reckless
You must have known my pain was very real
Closer, closer
I'm pulling the weight of a million years
Closer, closer
I find myself out on this old road again
Closer, closer
You've lived this life
You know what it's like
Closer, closer
You know how it feels
You know it's a fight
Why does it always hurt when you get close to me
Why do I pull away when you draw near
You know that you're my life and my love only
All my inner failings disappear
Seems to me my heart burned down again last night
Leaves me out here wandering in the cold
Somewhere in the distance you were calling me
Somewhere in the distance lies my home
Closer, closer
I'm feeling the weight of a million years
Closer, closer
I find myself out on this cold road again
Closer, closer
You've lived this life you know what it's like
Closer, closer
You know how it feels, you know its a fight
Closer, closer
26.I Still Believe (Great Design)
Lyricist:Michael Kenneth Been, James Paul Goodwin
I been in a cave
For forty days
Only a spark
To light my way
I wanna give out
I wanna give in
This is our crime
This is our sin
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the pain
And through the grief
Through the lives
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars
Oh, I still believe
Flat on my back
Out at sea
Hopin' these waves
Don't cover me
I'm turned and tossed
Upon the waves
When the darkness comes
I feel the grave
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the cold
And through the heat
Through the rain
And through the tears
Through the crowds
And through the cheers
Oh, I still believe
I'll march this road
I'll climb this hill
Upon on my knees
If I have to
I'll take my place
Up on this stage
I'll wait 'til the end of time
For you like everybody else
I'm out on my own
Walkin' the streets
Look at the faces
That I meet
I feel like I
Like I want to go home
What do I feel
What do I know
But I still believe
I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief
Through the heartache
Through the tears
Through the waiting
Through the years
For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope
That we can get
Oh, I still believe
27.Heavy Hand
I feel the heavy hand of truth upon me
I feel the deadly sin of pride
It separates the highest form the lowly
It separates love from you and I
I hear the taunting voice of sure temptation
I hear the rantings of a child
An inner voice telling me I'm nothing
The voice is mine, subject to the lie
Heavy hand on heart
Healing words to impart
Heavy hand on my throat
This is no dream this is no dream
I see the haunting glow of pure surrender
A shapeless light reveals the hidden vow
I can see the countless sons of thunder
With their knowing eyes circling around me
I feel divisions in this crowd
Heavy hand on my heart
Healing word to impart
Heavy hand on my throat
This is no dream, this is no joke
