1.Blowin' Free
I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
I thought i had a girl
And all because i seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.
She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.
In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.
2.Hard Times
Well, you know the boss was a good man,
But kindness on its own don't pay.
'you can figure you're part of the cut-back'
Was all that he could say.
Hard times,
Well, they sure do hit,
Hard times.
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket
Ain't worth a dime when you got it -
Hard times.
It's a messy situation
Keeping the wolf from the door.
How can i stay solvent
When they're hounding me for more？
Hard times,
Well, they sure do hit,
Hard times.
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket
Ain't worth a dime when you got it -
Hard times.
Well, the government's got advisors,
And they're sitting on capitol hill.
They're balancing the budget,
But they still can't pay the bill.
Hard times,
Well, they sure do hit,
Hard times.
Well, the dollar you got in your pocket
Ain't worth a dime when you got it -
Hard times.
Oh, hard times,
You're down on your luck.
3.In The Skin
4.Keeper Of The Light
Mother 's first look to the eyes of a child
Casts the die of destiny.
It's a perfect life she gives to you,
Not to lose so innocently.
Leading the way, she rises above
Unexpected adversity.
I hear her calling, keeper of the light,
The words of warning, thunder in the night.
I hear her calling, guarding what is right.
I see her waiting, keeper of the light.
A silhouette on the skyline, a symbol of your liberty,
Protecting time that's passing by,
Mother knows, never lies.
A better life the children will see,
A world of change, full of hope and sympathy.
I hear her calling, keeper of the light,
The words of warning, thunder in the night.
I hear her calling, guarding what is right.
I see her waiting, keeper of the light.
Repeat
5.Living Proof
Why does love have to？
Where does it go to
Outta my door？
How much have you got？
Is it enough for me
Or will i want more？
Oh,oh, you tell me you just want some fun.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun.
Time in a vacuum,
Waiting for someone to say what they think.
But all that pretending doesn't convince me
'cause they just want to buy me a drink.
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free.
Oh, oh, baby, i'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue
sea.
It's night in the city,
I'm filled with self-pity -
I'm taking the air.
If somebody hits me
Here in this city,
I swear i just don't care.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Oh, oh, just looking for proof.
Oh, oh, i'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof.
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof,
I got to have proof. (repeat)
6.Lost Cause In Paradise
They were fair and they were blond,
Laughing loud and singing songs,
Hoping for the best in life,
Heading for a paradise.
In the flash of an eye was born,
What would grow to become a storm,
When the fountain of youth was sprung,
Lost and gone, everyone.
In the man is the child alive,
To know and feel how to survive,
But the world was as cold as ice
When they looked for paradise.
Love in hand, the first to fight,
The golden dawn was a nasty sight.
The world turns as cold as ice,
Lost cause in paradise.
They were fair, and they were blond,
Laughing loud and singing songs,
Bit the world was as cold as ice,
Lost cause in paradise.
7.Standing In The Rain
Flying through the sky
His true love waits.
Lonely time's gone by.
There's a problem at the border
He learns they won't let him through.
She was standing in the rain.
She waits in vain for you.
She was standing in the rain.
She knows her love will pull her through.
Immigration law must be obeyed.
Close the case, return another day.
On the phone he tries to tell her
He must go without a single word.
She was standing in the rain.
She waits in vain for you.
She was standing in the rain.
She knows her love will pull her through.
Taking to the cloudy skies again,
The city lights shimmer on the plane.
In his eyes he sees the sadness,
For his love will always be the same.
She was standing in the rain.
She waits in vain for you.
She was standing in the rain.
She knows her love will pull her through.
8.Strange Affair
I had enough of this strange affair
Tried so hard but we got nowhere.
You drag me down, what you doing it for？
I can't handle it anymore.
Why, oh why won't you hear me？
This information is yours for free.
I'm telling you like i know i should
I'm hurt, but you can't see the blood.
Well, i must have been mad
Went to the doctor, i felt so sad.
Yeah, i must be insane
You turned me over again and again.
Had enough of this strange affair
Plain to see that you just don't care.
You been fooling around for too long
That ain't the way to be carrying on.
Why, oh why don't it matter to you？
Don't you know what you're putting me through？
But it's over, tears i have cried.
This strange affair is a thorn in my side.
Had enough of this strange affair
I was a victim of a love so rare.
Told me lies and betrayed my trust
Feel like a sucker with a teenage crush.
Why, oh why keep leading me on？
Don't you know you been doing me wrong？
Your best friend confirmed my worst fears
Should have known it had to end in tears.
9.The King Will Come
In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins - judgment comes.
The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.
See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand？
The checkerboard of nights and days -
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.
See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Or just a sign in the sand？
10.Throw Down The Sword
Throw down the sword,
The fight is done and over,
Neither lost, neither won.
To cast away the fury of the battle
And turn my weary eyes for home.
There were times when i stood at death's own door
Only hoping for an answer.
Throw down the sword,
And leave the glory -
A story time can never change.
To walk the road, the load i have to carry -
A journey's end, a wounded soul.
There were times when i stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.
11.Why Don't We
Why don't we get some answers,
Stop messin' around with our lives？
We hear the same old story, where's the glory？
It's our lives, it's our lives!
Changes are vital, do we care？
It's taken far too long - maybe we're there？
Start walkin' with our time, if you dare.
There is a rightness, yes, everywhere.
Why don't we, why don't we,
Open our eyes？
Why don't we, why don't we,
Change our minds？
Honest and sweet surrender -
Never wanted this illusion
In our lives.
Trials and tribulations,
Familiar conversations,
In our lives, in our lives.
Competing against everyone,
A trap, that, and a snare.
Return to nature, no solution, so beware!
How can it be this way？
Shouldn't be so.
Surviving day after day,
Unwilling to let go.
Why don't we, why don't we,
Share this time？
Why don't we, why don't we,
Open our eyes？
Livin' with a global village,
Aware of the unexpected
In our lives.
Transforming greed and pillage,
Not to be rejected -
It's our lives, it's our lives!
Changes are vital, do we care？
It's taken far too long - maybe we're there？
Stop workin' with our time, if you dare.
There is a rightness, yes, everywhere.
Why don't we, why don't we,
Open our eyes？
Why don't we, why don't we,
Share this time？
Why don't we, why don't we,
Change their minds？
Why don't we, why don't we,
Share our lives？
