I want to live,
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold.
It’s these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold.
Darlin’, in my wildest dreams, I never thought I’d go
But it’s time to let you know
I’m gonna harden my heart
I’m gonna swallow my tears
I’m gonna turn and leave you here
Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Bye bye biplane once upon a sky plane
Bye bye hushabye lullabye plane
The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly, we can fly
You got me higher than a hot air balloon
Gave me fireworks on 4th of July
Five years later on she became my father
Taught me everything I know
She said: “You were born to burn my love…”
I said: “Hey! I already know!”
Because it’s all inside
Because it’s all inside
I was born to fly, fly pretty high
So waste your time
On people who don’t know which way to go
They’ll never take you up
Never take you up in the sky
Because it’s all in the mind
Well I was born to run
To get ahead of the rest
And all that I wanted was to be the best
Just to feel free and be someone
I was born to be fast I was born to run
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight
But there’s no place left to hide
Together Wendy we can live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh-oh, someday girl I don’t know when
We’re gonna get to that place
Where we really wanna go
And we’ll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
Baby we were born to run
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you’re going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come onand sing along!
We’re going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
(I just wanna rock you) I just wanna rock you (All night long)
All night long (To my love song), oh oh oh oh oh
(I just wanna rock you) I just wanna rock you (All night long)
All night long, hey (To my love song, love song, love song, love song, love song)
I can tell you wanna boogie
I can tell you wanna boogie (Boogie)
Don’t you stop it (You don’t really wanna stop), don’t you stop (No)
Don’t stop the music (You don’t really wanna stop, uh-uh)
You can’t stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the cold from snow, tell the trees, don’t grow,
tell the wind, don’t blow, 'cause it’s easier.
No, you can’t stop the music, nobody can stop the music.
Take the spark from love, make the rain fall up
'cause that’s easier to do.
Yeah the seasons come in
All the nights are woven
All the nights we’ll see them through
Ah no hundred men now
Would dare cut into us
We’ll go on and see it through
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
I shall not be, I shall not be moved
Just like a tree that’s planted by the water
I shall not be moved
Now yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he’s not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shinin’
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
You’ve been a prisoner, baby,
Been a prisoner all your life,
Held captive in an alien world where they hold your need for love to your throat, like a knife,
And they make you jump,
And they make you do tricks,
They take what started off such an innocent heart, and they break it, and break it, and break it until it almost can’t be fixed.
Well, I don’t know when and I don’t know how,
I don’t know how long it’s gonna take,
I don’t know how hard it will be, but I know
you will go free.
Prisoners of love, blue skies above
Can’t keep our hearts in jail
Prisoners of love, our turtle doves
Soon coming 'round with bail
So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail
Ain’t got no frie-ends to go our bail
So here we’ll sta-ay 'cause we can’t pa-a-a-a-ay
Just send our ma-ail to the Tijuana Jail
