So long ago Certain place Certain time You touched my hand All the way All the way down to Emmiline But if our paths never cross Well you know I’m sorry but If I live to see the seven wonders I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end I’ll never live to match the beauty again The rainbow’s end So it’s hard to find Someone with that kind of intensity You touched my hand I played it cool And you reached out your hand for me But if our paths never cross Well you know I’m sorry but If I live to see the seven wonders I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end I’ll never live to match the beauty again The rainbow’s end ---

I hark back to olden days To her and her magic ways Two souls in harmony in an endless sea The cruel wings of destiny carried you away from me And left a heart unstilled That never will be filled Beyond these Stygian skies our fortress lies Across the Rainbow Bridge We’ll span the sea of tears and conquer all our fears inside I’d sacrifice my very life to have you at my side Like a dream I see your face Through the misty haze We were one amid the stars and time never healed my scars Deep inside the sadness burns I must return! Beyond these Stygian skies our fortress lies Across the Rainbow Bridge We’ll span the sea of tears and conquer all our fears inside Forsake this mourning field and drop your shield Across the Rainbow Bridge Run to the other side where all our dreams abide ---

[Kermit the Frog apparently sang this:] Why are there so many songs about rainbows What’s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it I know they’re wrong, wait and see Someday we’ll find it, the Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me Who said that every wish would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that and someone believed it Look what it’s done so far What’s so amazing that keeps us star gazing What do we think we might see? All of us under its spell We know that it’s probably magic Have you been half-asleep and have you heard voices? I’ve heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors? It may be one and the same I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it It’s something that I’m supposed to be La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la ---

There’s a rainbow in my heart That reminds me of how we parted And I, I know My love is gone forever But deep down in my heart I’ll love her forever There’s a rainbow Oh, oh, in my heart Baby, baby, baby Come on now, baby Listen to me Ooh, yeah, yeah I’m down on my knees Please listen to my plea Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah I’m looking up above Ooh, yes, up above Praying for your love Please, please stop this rainbow Oh, oh, in my heart Baby, baby, baby Come on now, baby Come on, stop this rainbow Come on now, baby And stop this rainbow… ---

When evening falls She’ll run to me Like whispered dreams Your eyes can’t see Soft and warm She’ll touch my face A bed of straw Against the lace We believed we’d catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life’s not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me Come the dawn, Come the dawn Come the dawn, Come the dawn ---

Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z My life was torn like a wind-blown sand And the rock was formed when you held my hand Sunny one so true, I love you Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face Sunny, thank you for the gleam that shows its grace You’re my spark of nature’s fire You’re my sweet complete desire Sunny one so true, I love you Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain Now the dark days are gone, and the bright days are here My Sunny one shines so sincere Sunny one so true, I love you…I love You… ---

Sunny came home to her favorite room Sunny sat down in the kitchen She opened a book and a box of tools Sunny came home with a mission She says “Days go by, I’m hypnotized I’m walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire” Sunny came home with a list of names She didn’t believe in transcendence And it’s time for a few small repairs, she said Sunny came home with a vengeance She says “Days go by, I don’t know why I’m walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire” ---

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook Like a knight in some old fashion book. I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue. I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, stillborn Like a beast with his horn. I have torn everyone who reached out to me. But I swear by this song And by all that I have wrong I will make it all up to thee. ---

I said I’d never do it again I swore my ways that I would mend But you cheated, dear, and that’s a sin Here I am I’m drunk again I’m drunk because that you are gone At the bar I’m standin’ all alone Drowning my sorrows deep within Here I am I’m drunk again I don’t like this life of mine Drinkin’ whiskey, beer and wine Dear you know this is the end Here I am I’m drunk again I’m drunk because that you are gone At the bar I’m standin’ all alone Drowning my sorrows deep within Here I am I’m drunk again Here I am I’m drunk again ---

was runnin’ thru the summer rain, try’n’ to catch that evenin’ train And kill the old familiar pain weavin’ thru my tangled brain When I tipped my bottle back and smacked into a cop I didn’t see That police man said, mister cool, if you ain’t drunk, then you’re a Fool. I said, if that’s against the law, then tell me why I never saw A man locked in that jail of yours who wasn’t neither black or poor as Me? Well, that was when someone turned out the lights And I wound up in jail to spend the night And dream of all the wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds. Well, I woke up next mornin’ feelin’ like my head was gone And like my thick old tongue was lickin’ something sick and wrong And I told that man I’d sell my soul for something wet and cold as that Old cell. That kindly jailer grinned at me, all eaten up with sympathy Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear, If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, you couldn’t even buy the smell I said, I knew there was something I liked about this town. But it takes more than that to bring me down, down, down. ’cause there’s still a lot of wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds Well, they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free And I’d be leavin’ town if I knew what was good for me I said, it’s nice to learn that ev’rybody’s so concerned about my Health. (they were obsessed with it) I said, I won’t be leavin’ no more quicker than I can ’cause I’ve enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand And I don’t need this town of yours more than I never needed nothin’ Else. ’cause there’s still alot of drinks that I ain’t drunk And lots of pretty thoughts that I ain’t thunk And lord there’s still so many lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds. ---

Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion, something I don’t understand Fools like me, who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God’s command? A country that’s divided surely will not stand My past erased, no more disgrace No foolish naive stand The end is near, it’s crystal clear Part of the master plan Don’t look now to Israel It might be in your homelands Holy wars ---

Come you masters of war You that build all the guns You that build the death planes You that build all the bombs You that hide behind walls You that hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks. You that never done nothin’ But build to destroy You play with my world Like it’s your little toy You put a gun in my hand And you hide from my eyes And you turn and run farther When the fast bullets fly. Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You want me to believe But I see through your eyes And I see through your brain Like I see through the water That runs down my drain. You fasten all the triggers For the others to fire Then you set back and watch When the death count gets higher You hide in your mansion’ As young people’s blood Flows out of their bodies And is buried in the mud. You’ve thrown the worst fear That can ever be hurled Fear to bring children Into the world For threatening my baby Unborn and unnamed You ain’t worth the blood That runs in your veins. How much do I know To talk out of turn You might say that I’m young You might say I’m unlearned But there’s one thing I know Though I’m younger than you That even Jesus would never Forgive what you do. Let me ask you one question Is your money that good Will it buy you forgiveness Do you think that it could I think you will find When your death takes its toll All the money you made Will never buy back your soul. And I hope that you die And your death’ll come soon I will follow your casket In the pale afternoon And I’ll watch while you’re lowered Down to your deathbed And I’ll stand over your grave 'Til I’m sure that you’re dead. ---

I want to live where soul meets body And let the sun wrap its arms around me and Bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing And feel Feel what its like to be new Cause in my head there’s a Greyhound station Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations So they may have a chance of finding a place where they’re Far more suited than here I cannot guess what you’ll discover We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s And not one speck will remain I do believe its true That there are roads left in both of our shoes But if the silence takes you Then I hope it takes me too So brown eyes I’ll hold you near Cause you’re the only song I want to hear A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere Where soul meets body I do believe its true That there are roads left in both of our shoes But if the silence takes you Then I hope it takes me too So brown eyes I’ll hold you near Cause you’re the only song I want to hear A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere ---

The atmosphere’s strange out on the town Music for pleasure, it’s not music no more Music to dance to, music to move This is music to march to It’s a wardance, a wardance It’s a wardance, a wardance Look at the victim scrawled on the wall You know the, the reason Outside the door you got something Nasty in your mind, trying to get out It’s a wardance, a wardance It’s a wardance, a wardance We walk round the pitch, honesty is sick Try to be honest, look what you get The food runs short and then the money talks One way out, your premonition is correct ---

Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor Time will tell them they are powered minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'til their Judgment Day comes, yeah! Now in darkness, world stops turning Ashes where their bodies burning No more War Pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of Judgment, God is calling On their knees the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings Oh, Lord yeah!
