I know a little,  
I know a little 'bout it–  
I know a little 'bout love  
And baby I can guess the rest

</div>

From a little light of love  
I was born and in my cry, my cry  
Was a little light of love  
For the honoring of life  
And the Pharos of my soul  
Is this light of love  
Precious little light of love

In this proud land we grew up strong  
We were wanted all along  
I was taught to fight, taught to win  
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems  
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted  
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name  
But no one wants you when you lose

Don’t give up  
'Cos you have friends  
Don’t give up  
You’re not beaten yet  
Don’t give up  
I know you can make it good

Therefore, make peace with your god  
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin  
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal  
The world continues to deteriorate:  
Give up!

You who build these altars now  
To sacrifice these children,  
You must not do it anymore.  
A scheme is not a vision  
And you never have been tempted  
By a demon or a god.  
You who stand above them now,  
Your hatchets blunt and bloody,  
You were not there before,  
When I lay upon a mountain  
And my father’s hand was trembling  
With the beauty of the world.

</div>

And it’s no sacrifice  
Just a simple word  
It’s two hearts living  
In two separate worlds  
But it’s no sacrifice  
No sacrifice  
It’s no sacrifice at all

I don’t know  
I don’t know which side I’m on  
I don’t know my right from left  
Or my right from wrong  
Say I’m a fool  
You say I’m nothing  
But if I’m a fool for you  
Oh, that’s something

Two hearts beat as one  
Two hearts beat as one  
Two hearts…

Will you come when all is still  
From the river or the hill  
Love, love, where can you be  
Love, I am waiting  
Heartbeats accelerating

Will you come on a Saturday night  
Maybe then the time will be right  
Love, love, where can you be  
Love, I am waiting  
Heartbeats accelerating

I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums  
Oh, what a shame that you came here with someone  
So while you’re here in my arms,  
Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young

He was no more than a baby then  
Well he seemed broken hearted  
Something within him  
But the moment that I first laid  
Eyes on him all alone  
On the edge of seventeen

Just like the white winged dove  
Sings a song  
Sounds like she’s singing  
Oh baby oh said oh  
Just like the white winged dove  
Sings a song  
Sounds like she’s singing  
Oh baby oh said oh

When troubles surround us, when evils come  
The body grows weak (body grows weak)  
The spirit grows numb (spirit grows numb)  
When these things beset us, He doesn’t forget us  
He sends down His love (sends down His love)  
On the wings of a dove (wings of a dove)

If you’re on the highway and Road Runner goes beep beep.  
Just step aside or you might end up in a heap.  
Road Runner, Road Runner, running down the road all day.  
Even the coyote can’t make him change his ways.

My canyon compactor was perfect to echo my screams.  
My backpack reactor worked fine, until I crossed the beams.  
My bomb extender snapped back with the lit TNT.  
My flying blender was just a tad quicker than me.

But I’m smarter, I’m stronger, and he’s only fast,  
Let’s hear him “beep beep” with his head up his ass,  
And I’ll get that Road-Runner if it’s the last thing I do!

Think of happy little thoughts.  
Any happy little thoughts.  
Think of sleighbells, think of snow,  
think of Christmas, up you go:  
Like reindeer in the sky–  
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!
