Say what you mean  
Mean what you say  
Say what you mean  
Mean what you say  
Think about the words  
That you’re using  
Speak for yourself  
Say what’s on your mind  
Think about the life  
That you’re choosing  
Whenever you need somebody  
Whenever you’re looking  
For somebody who knows  
When trouble won’t leave you alone.

Should I stay or should I go now?  
If I go there will be trouble  
And if I stay it will be double  
So come on and let me know

Stay,  
And help me to end the day.  
And if you don’t mind,  
We’ll break a bottle of wine.  
Stick around, and maybe we’ll put one down.

It might be miles beyond the moon,  
Or right there where you stand.  
Just keep an open mind,  
And then suddenly you’ll find  
Never Never Land.  
You’ll have a treasure if you stay there,  
More precious far than gold.  
For once you have found your way there,  
You can never, never grow old.

Oh darlin’  
Where have you been?  
I’ve been longin’ for you all my life  
Whoa-uh-oh baby I never felt this way before  
I guess it’s because there’s a moon out tonight

Hush little baby, don’t say a word  
And never mind that noise you heard  
It’s just the beasts under your bed,  
In your closet, in your head

Exit light  
Enter night  
Take my hand  
Off to Never-Never Land

</div>

And when the morning of the warning’s passed, the gassed and flaccid kids  
Are flung across the staras  
The psychodramas and the traumas gone  
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars

</div>

But I’ve been walking through the night, and the day  
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns grey  
And sometimes it seems maybe God’s gone away  
Forgetting the promise that we’ve heard him say  
And we’re lost out here in the stars.  
Little stars, big stars  
Blowing through the night  
And we’re lost out here in the stars.

Walk on through the wind,  
Walk on through the rain,  
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown.  
Walk on, walk on  
With hope in your heart  
And you’ll never walk alone,  
You’ll never walk alone.

I was born one mornin’,  
The rain a-pourin’ down,  
Heard my mammy say to my pappy,  
“Let’s call him John Henry Brown.”

Walk on, boy; walk on down the road;  
Ain’t nobody in this whole wide world  
A-gonna help you carry your load.

</div>

I walk a lonely road,  
The only one that I have ever known.  
Don’t know where it goes,  
But it’s home to me and I walk alone,

I walk this empty street  
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams  
When the city sleeps,  
And I’m the only one and I walk alone.

I walk alone  
I walk alone  
I walk alone  
I walk a…

My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me.  
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating.  
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me.  
Til then I walk alone.

May it be an evening star shines down upon you  
May it be when darkness falls your heart will be true  
You walk a lonely road  
Oh how far you are from home

Mornie utulie  
Believe and you will find your way  
Mornie utulie  
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow’s call will fly away  
May it be you journey on to light their day  
When the night is overcome  
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie  
Believe and you will find your way  
Mornie utulie  
A promise lives within you now  
A promise lives within you now

May the road rise to meet you,  
May the wind be always at your back.  
May the sun shine warm upon your face,  
The rains fall soft upon your fields.  
And until we meet again,  
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I was on the inside  
When they pulled the four walls down  
I was looking through the window  
I was lost, I am found

Walkaway, walkaway  
I walkaway, walkaway  
I will follow  
If you walkaway, walkaway,  
I walkaway, walkaway  
I will follow  
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle  
I see you when I go in there  
Your eyes…your eyes…your eyes…your eyes

</div>

Love of mine, some day you will die  
But I’ll be close behind  
I’ll follow you into the dark  
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white  
Just our hands clasped so tight  
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide  
That they both are satisfied  
Illuminate the “No”'s on their vacancy signs  
If there’s no one beside you  
When your soul embarks  
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
