2.How Is It


3.And The Tide Rushes In


4.Don't You Feel Small

Lyricist:Graeme Edge

Ask the mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest fool of all
Bet you'll feel small, it happens to us all

See the world, ask what's it for
Understanding, nothing more
Don't you feel small? It happens to us all

Time is now to spread your voice
Time to come, there'll be no choice
Why do you feel small? It happens to us all

Look at progress
Then count the cost
We'll spoil the seas
With the rivers we've lost

See the writing on the wall
Hear the mirror's warning call
That's why you feel small, it happens to us all

Ask the mirror on the wall
Who's the biggest fool of all
Bet you'll feel small, it happens to us all


5.Tortoise And The Hare

Lyricist:John Lodge

You know he's movin' fast
Be he's still goin' slow
He's ahead in the race
And there is not far to go
And your load is so heavy
And your legs wanna rest
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

You think he's way up front
But he's so far behind
He's asleep in the grass
And he's run out of time
While your load was so heavy
You never wanted to stop
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while
While you were sleeping
He went on keeping
The final line in his mind
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Your friend is heavy
But he was ready
And never stopped for a while
While you were sleeping
He went on keeping
The final line in his mind

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright


6.It's Up To You


7.Minstrel's Song

Lyricist:John Charles Lodge

Words, a simple song
A minstrel sings a way of life in his eyes
Hear the morning call of waking birds
When they are singing, bringing love, love
Everywhere love is all around
Everywhere love is all around

Now the winter's gone
Cold wind has blown the endless stream in our lives
Where the minstrel sings this simple song
He's always bringing, singing love, love
Everywhere love is all around
Everywhere love is all around

Listen to the one who sings of love
Follow our friend, our wandering friend
Listen to the one who sings of love
Everywhere love is around, around, around

Here the nations sing
Our minstrel's song as he walks by in their lives
Soon the spring will come
And everyone will all be singing, bringing love, love
Everywhere love is all around
Everywhere love is all around

Listen to the one who sings of love
Follow our friend, our wandering friend
Listen to the one who sings of love
Everywhere love is around, around

Listen to the one who sings of love
Follow our friend, our wandering friend
Listen to the one who sings of love
Everywhere love is around, around, around

Around, around, around
Around, around, around
Around, around, around
...

10.The Balance

Lyricist:Graham Charles Edge, Ray Thomas

After he had journeyed and his feet were sore
And he was tired, he came upon an orange grove
And he rested and he lay in the cool
And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it

And it was good and he felt the earth to his spine
And he asked, and he saw the tree above him and the stars
And the veins in the leaf and the light and the balance
And he saw magnificent perfection
Whereon he thought of himself in balance and he knew he was

Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind and you will find
The way it's always been, just open your heart
And that's a start

And he thought of those he angered for he was not a violent man
And he thought of those he hurt for he was not a cruel man
And he thought of those he frightened for he was not an evil man
And he understood, he understood himself

Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt
fear
It was because he was not understanding
And he learned compassion

And with his eye of compassion
He saw his enemies like unto himself
And he learned love, then he was answered

Just open your eyes and realize the way it's always been
Just open your mind and you will find
The way it's always been, just open your heart
And that's a start
