I wanna spread my wings
But I just can’t fly
As a string of pearls
The pretty girls go sailin’ by
Ocean deep
And you see me fly away without you.
My shadow on the things you know.
My feathers fall all around you,
they show you the way to go.
It’s over, baby. I say, it’s over, baby.
Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings
Falling like feathers to the floor…
Now it’s your turn to see me rise
You burnt my wings
But watch me fly above your head
Looking down I see you far below
Looking up you see my spirit glow
Imagine all our years together
Like a blackbird that won’t sing
Imagine throwing it to the air
But it falls from broken wings
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
You ride on the swing in and out of the bars
Capturing moments of life in a jar
Playing with children, acting as stars
Guiding your vision to heaven and heaven is in your mind
There’s a song on the air with a love-you line
And a face in a glass and it looks like mine
And I’m standing on ice when I say that I don’t hear planes
And I scream at the fools, wanna jump my train
Heaven is the home of our hearts
And heaven won’t tear you apart
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
it’s much harder to come by
I’m waiting in line.
Nobody gets too much love anymore,
it’s as high as a mountain and harder to climb.
Heaven isn’t too far away
Closer to it every day
No matter what your friends say
I know we’re gonna find a way
They say that heaven is 10 zillion light years away
But if there is a God, we need Him now
“Where is your God”
That’s what my friends ask me
And I say it’s taken Him so long
'Cause we’ve got so far to come…
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Can we give our love one more night?
I miss you angel, can we make it right?
Now and forever, with Heaven on our side
I need a sign to let me know you’re here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me
And I’m calling all angels
I’m calling all you angels
My T.V. doesn’t listen
When I give it pieces of my mind
It keeps making everything the same size
Pain is pleasure when it’s televised
All my life’s blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I’m weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven’t long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now, I feel they are so near
I begin to see them clear
Nightmares…coming all the time
Nightmares…will give me Piece of Mind
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in a sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
The sky seems full
When you’re in the cradle
The rain will fall
And wash your dreams
Stars are stars
And they shine so hard
And the cradle will rock.
Yes, the cradle will rock.
And I say, rock on!
Rock on!
When the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that holds the knife
And the knife that cuts the cable kills the spark that feeds the life
No grave could be deep enough
Down to hell if we were able
The veil of life was pushed aside
By the hand that rocks the cradle
