Put your hand in the hand of the Man Who stilled the water  
Put you hand in the hand of the Man Who calmed the sea  
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently  
By putting your hand in the hand of the Man from Galilee

One day I noticed the world at my feet  
Next day comes and it rolls into the street  
Gathering speed  
Paying no heed  
That made me bleed until I was blue

But you know I never wanted to  
Ah, you know I did it just for you  
But you know I never wanted to  
Ah, you know I did it just for you

Ohhh, just for you  
Ohhh, just for you  
Ohhh, just for you

</div>

I came for you, for you, I came for you  
But you did not need my urgency  
I came for you, for you, I came for you  
But your life was one long emergency  
And your cloud line urges me  
And my electric surges free

When you’re feeling sad and lonely there’s a service I can render.  
Tell the one who loves you only, I can be so warm and tender.  
Call me, don’t be afraid you can call me, maybe it’s late but just call me.  
Call me and I’ll be around.

When its seems your friends desert you, there’s somebody thinking of you.  
I’m the one who’ll never hurt you, maybe it’s because I love you.  
Call me, don’t be afraid you can call me, maybe it’s late but just call me.  
Call me and I’ll be around.

</div>

Lean on me when you’re not strong  
And I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you carry on  
For it won’t be long  
'Til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on

Please, swallow your pride  
If I have things you need to borrow  
For no one can fill those of your needs  
That you won’t let show

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand  
We all need somebody to lean on  
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand  
We all need somebody to lean on

When the night has come  
And the land is dark  
And the moon is the only light we’ll see  
No I won’t be afraid  
Oh, I won’t be afraid  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darling, darling  
Stand by me, oh stand by me  
Oh stand, stand by me  
Stand by me

The old moon laughed and sang a song  
As they rocked in the wooden shoe  
And the wind that sped them all night long  
Ruffled the waves of dew

[nets of silver and gold have we…]  
I look at you and suddenly  
Something in your eyes I see  
Soon begins bewitching me

It’s that Old Devil moon  
That you stole from the skies  
It’s that Old Devil Moon in your eyes

And I kissed you  
And caressed you  
And the world around us fell away  
We said things in the dark  
We never dared to say

And I caught you  
And I kissed you  
And I took you  
And I begged you

With a need too urgent to deny  
And nothing mattered then  
Except for you and I  
Again and then again  
Beneath a moonless sky

And when it was done before the sun could rise  
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes  
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye  
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky

</div>

When the moon-cradle’s rocking and rocking  
Where a cloud and a cloud go by  
Silently rocking and rocking  
The moon-cradle out in the sky.

Then comes the lad with the hazel  
And the folding star’s in the rack  
‘Night’s a good herd’ to the cattle,  
He sings, ‘She brings all things back.’

But the bond woman down by the bowery  
Sings with a heart grown wild  
How a hundred rivers are flowing  
Between herself and her child.

‘The geese, even they trudge homeward  
That have their wings and the waste,  
Let your thoughts be on Night the Herder,  
And be quiet for a space.’

In the still of the night  
I held you, held you tight  
'Cause I love, love you so  
Promise I’ll never let you go  
In the still of the night  
(In the still of the night)

I remember that night in May  
The stars were bright above  
I’ll hope and I’ll pray  
To keep your precious love

Well before the light  
Hold me again with all of your might  
In the still of the night  
(In the still of the night)

So before the light  
Hold me again with all of your might  
In the still of the night  
(In the still of the night)  
In the still of the night

When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,  
We used to love while others used to play.  
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,  
Some one else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,  
And you don’t ask the time of day.  
But you and i, our love will never die,  
But guess well cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,  
I watched the apples falling one by one.  
And I recall the moment of them all,  
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine

Everyone would gather  
On the twenty-fourth of May  
Sitting in the sand  
To watch the fireworks display  
Dancing fires on the beach  
Singing songs together…  
Though it’s just a memory  
Some memories last forever

In May I truly think it best  
To be a robin lightly dressed  
Concocting soup inside my nest  
Mix it once  
Mix it twice  
Mix that chicken soup with rice

When you find yourself in danger,  
When you’re threatened by a stranger,  
When it looks like you will take a lickin’,  
(puk, puk, puk, puk)  
There is someone waiting,  
Who will hurry up and rescue you,  
just Call for Super Chicken!  
(puk, ack!)

Fred, if you’re afraid you’ll have to overlook it,  
Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it  
(puk, ack!)  
He will drink his super sauce  
And throw the bad guys for a loss  
And he will bring them in alive and kickin’  
(puk, puk, puk, puk)  
There is one thing you should learn  
When there is no one else to turn to  
Call for Super Chicken!  
(puk, puk, puk, puk)  
Call for Super Chicken!  
(puk, ack!)

when criminals in this world appear  
and break the laws that they should fear  
and frighten all who see or hear  
the cry goes up both far and near  
for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

speed of lightning, roar of thunder  
fighting all who rob or plunder  
Underdog. Underdog!

when in this world the headlines read  
of those whose hearts are filled with greed  
who rob and steal from those who need  
to right this wrong with blinding speed  
goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

speed of lightning, roar of thunder  
fighting all who rob or plunder  
Underdog. Underdog!

Those cats were fast as lightning  
In fact it was a little bit frightning  
But they fought with expert timing

Spiderman, Spiderman,  
Does whatever a spider can  
Spins a web, any size,  
Catches thieves just like flies  
Look Out!  
Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he strong?  
Listen bud,  
He’s got radioactive blood.  
Can he swing from a thread  
Take a look overhead  
Hey, there  
There goes the Spiderman.

In the chill of night  
At the scene of a crime  
Like a streak of light  
He arrives just in time.

Spiderman, Spiderman  
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman  
Wealth and fame  
He’s ingnored  
Action is his reward.

To him, life is a great big bang up  
Whenever there’s a hang up  
You’ll find the Spider man.\*\*\*\*
