A thumb goes up
A car goes by
It’s nearly 1 a.m. and here am I
Hitching a ride, hitching a ride.
And it’s hitchhike a hundred miles,
I’m a ragamuffin child:
Pointed finger, painted smile.
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
And she’ll have fun, fun, fun, 'till her Daddy takes her T-bird away!
Free as a bird
Like the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
We can change the world rearrange the world
it’s dying - if you believe in justice
dying - and if you believe in freedom
dying - let a man live his own life
dying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door
I’m starting with the Man In The Mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and
Then make a change
For there’s a change in the weather
There’s a change in the sea
So from now on there’ll be a change in me
My walk will be diff’rent my talk and my name
Nothin’ about me is goin’ to be the same,
I’m goin’ to change my way of livin’ if that ain’t enough,
Then I’ll change the way that I strut my stuff,
'cause nobody wants you when you’re old and gray
Ther’ll be some change made.
What about sunrise
What about rain What about all the things
That you said we were to gain…
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine…
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we’ve shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying Earth this we make sure?
Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today - Ya
Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love.
It’s the only thing
That there’s just too little of.
Don’t talk of love.
Well, I’ve heard the word before.
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died.
If I never loved, I never would have cried.
I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do.
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children’s game
There’s no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
Mocked by man to depths of shame
Little girl with life ahead
For a memory of one kind word
She would stay among the beasts
Time for one more daring dream
Before her escape, edenbeam
We kill with her own loving heart
Eva flies away
Dreams the world far away
In this cruel children’s game
There’s no friend to call her name
Eva sails away
Dreams the world far away
The Good in her will be my sunflower field
It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it’s under a blue sky
It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye – it’s your world so live in it!
It’s a cruel, cruel summer
Now that he’s gone
Leaving me here on my own
Cruel, cruel grounds
Leak truths never found
Torturous ways
Whisper from the grave
A slow spun song of distortion
Bitter, bitter mouth
Spitin’ out seeds of doubt
Rituals seek root
Razed before they’re told
Stories break like branches in the cold
