Big World
03:21
|

Off in the distance I see
Horses running clean
Water running clear
Beneath a clear blue sky
Oh my my my my my
But the dream in this heart
Comes tumbling down
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
This big big world
I see people laughing
I feel hearts in love
I see people reaching
Out to one another
Holding on to each other's hands
In every land
But the dream in this heart
Comes tumbling down
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
This big big world
Listen to your heartland sing
Spirits in the wind
Borders fall and walls come down
But still, still we want more of
This great big world
It's such a great big world
I want truth and justice
I want harmony
I want peace in this world
And I want songs and laughter
Soaking in the air we breath
So make the dream in my heart
Become something true
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
Make the dream in this heart
Become something true
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
This big big world

We The People
03:17
|

I need time to understand this
The world I see is not the same
The rules have changed, they're so unclear now
We've lost our way but who is to blame
In troubled times the righteous scream
You are you and we are not the same
As all the others
You and I we hold the power
Yeah, we the people
We live in times of encroaching darkness
Truth and lies are all the same
Power is and power does
Control our world 'cause we just don't care
But understand we are the reason
We are the ones who put the power in the world
But we can take it away
You and I, we hold the power
Yeah, we the people
Standup, stand up, stand up
What do you want from me
This world is yours, yours and mine
It's up to us to hold the line
Stand up
We are the people
Stand up
We are the power
You and I we hold the power
Yeah, we the people
You and I we hold the power
Yeah, we the people

Breathe

Ain’t it funny how two people meet
Walkin’ down this big old street
They’re not lookin’, they’re not searchin’
They’re just trying to make ends meet
In the end when they do
And their hearts miss a beat
You know that they just want to say
It’s alright, it’s alright
You can spend your life with me
It’s alright, it’s alright
I will love you ‘till I just can’t breathe
I’ll love you ‘till I just can’t breathe
And through our lives we will build a home
We will do the best that we can
We will love, we will laugh
Sometimes we might even cry
And when the world gets it and it breaks us down
We’ll just look at each other and say
When our world gets old
And my eyes grow dim
Still I will see you clearly
‘Cause in my heart I keep, a picture of you
And I open it whenever I need
Whenever I need to breathe
And time marches on
My love will be strong
‘Cause I’ve got something inside me
In my heart I keep
A picture of you
And I open it whenever I need
Whenever I need to breathe
And as time just travels along
And the days don’t seem quite a long
Well my love, it’s stronger
Stronger than it’s ever been
I keep you deep in my heart
Hold you close in my arms
Then I whisper in your ear
It’s alright, it’s alright
Spend your time with me
It’s alright, it’s alright
I will love you ‘till I just can’t breathe
It’s alright, it’s alright
You can spend your life with me
It’s alright, it’s alright
I will love you ‘till I just can’t breathe
I’ll love you ‘till I just can’t breathe

Runaway
04:17
|
|||
As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
As I still walk on I think of
The things we’ve done together
While our hearts were young
I’m a walkin’ in the rain
Tears are fallin’ and I feel the pain
Wishin’ you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa wa wa I wonder
Why .. why why why why why
She went away
And I wonder if you will stay
My little runaway

Say Love
04:31
|

Look at the world around you
Is it the world you wanted
Turn in a circle
To the end of the rainbow
Voices are calling you
Beckon you ever onward
Bigger and better
Don't forget where you came from
Say love
Say it once in awhile
Say love
Say love
Say it once in awhile
Say love
Turn and face me
Images in a mirror
You've got to live with it
All the things you have done
Question and answer
Not always hand in glove
You need the strength to carry on
To those dreams you've been
Say love
Say it once in awhile
Say love
Say love
Say it once in awhile
Say love
Seems we all forget
It's like we never met
Well I could turn t you
And you could turn to me
But something's changed the way
Changed the way we say
I need to feel your touch
To feel it every day
Say love
Say it once in awhile
Say love
Say love
Say it once in awhile
Say love

The World I Used To Know
04:49
|
|||
What does it mean
When people change
No longer want
No longer need
No more desire
For what you bring to me
Where is the world I used to know?
What does it mean?
When people change
Where does it come from?
Where does it feed?
Does it remind you?
How fragile this is
Where is the world I used to know?
Wake up and look around
Reach out and touch the world
So much more outside your door
Open up and let it in
What is the reason
When people hate the change?
That comes when time goes marching by and by
Dwindling flame
The heat is turning cold
Where is the world I used to know?
Wake up and look around
Reach out and touch the world
Your arms, your heart, your mind
Open up and let it in
There is light
More than fear and fright
Understanding comes in time
You need desire to start the fire
We're all part of this whole world

Never Want To Fall
03:37
|
|||
I don’t wanna lose control
I don’t want my fear to show
I’m reachin’ out for something more
Oh I never want to fall
I want to rise up from the dust
And stand above it all
And I will do just what I must
But I never want to fall
Unless I’m Fallin’
Into your arms
Oh but how was I to know that you were loving somebody else
It seems the last one to know is the one that it hurts the most
Sometimes the rain don’t fall on me
Sometimes the sun won’t shine for no one
But I know you keep me strong
Teach me right from wrong
Oh I never want to fall
Unless I’m fallin’ into your arms
Oh I never want to fall
Unless I’m fallin’ into your arms

More Than Anything
05:01

I've got nothing to say about you baby
'Cause you treated me so unkind
You told me once that you loved me baby
I'm telling you girl I must have been blind
Well I don't want your kissing
And I don't need your smiling girl
I only need your lovin' baby
'Cause I got you on my mind
Well I knew soon that we might fall apart
And I knew girl that it would, break my heart
Each time I see you with another man
I'd get so down I thought I won't come 'round
But I just can't stop loving
The girl who changed my dreams
Oh girl you know I still want you
More than anything at all
The time we had
The moments we shared
Our love grew strong
Or so I thought
You broke my heart
And then you ran
Into the arms
Of another man
Well I will always love you
My heart will always have part of you
Oh girl you know I still want you
More than anything at all

Over & Over
04:01

The way you treat me girl
It really is a shame
Not out in front
Twist the blame
I try to understand
Why you feel this way
Me or you
It takes two they say
You hurt me, I hurt you back
Our hearts nearly died
Love hurts, Love grinds
But still we try
Over and over
Over and over
They say love is hard
It makes you cry
Oh love is a drug
It can make you high
And I think about us
About the things we are
Grit and grime
It’s who we are
You push me, I push you back
Why don’t we fall?
‘Cause you hold me, I hold you too
And still we try
Over and over
Over and over
It is times like this
When I see you there
And I hold you close
It’s not hard to find
A reason to believe
And I do it for you
Over and over
As the years have passed
I’ve thought hard about it
Like oil and water
Like skin and grit
There’s times when we
Don’t see the same things
But in our hearts
We’re sure of one thing
You love me, I love you too
Of that we are sure
It’s something, inside me
And so I will say
I love you, I need you
You keep me sane
Inside me. I know I
Will give my love
Over and over
Over and over
People say, that love blind
That real love is so hard to find
Love is hard, love is tough
When you get it right you never get enough
Gotta give it all if you want it back
Keep your eyes wide open don’t you fade to black
In your heart you know it’s true
She’s earned your love now give it back

Rise Above It All
03:42
|
|||
Walking a long and lonely highway
Don't know where I am going to
I only know I'm going my way
And nobody else is coming along
Listen to the song I'm singing
It's the one you need to hear
Somebody tell me where it's heading
Somebody try to understand
Oh oh, nothing going to hold you like my love
You want to carry on be strong
But you feel that it's all wrong
Oh oh, no one’s ever loved you like I do
I will hold you, you won't fall
Have courage and stand tall
You can stand tall
You can rise above it all
Oh oh, nothing going to hold you like my love
You want to carry on be strong
But you feel that it's all wrong
Oh oh, no one's ever loved you like I do
I will hold you, you won't fall
Have courage and stand tall
Oh oh, no one's ever loved you like I do
I will hold you up, you won't fall
Have courage and stand tall
We'll rise above it all
And stand tall
Stand tall
And we'll rise above it all

Understand Your Love
03:25
|
|||
Your love moves at the speed of light
Leaves me in a state of fight or flight
And when I hold you in my arms
You burn so hot light the fire alarms
I try to cool you off, slow you down
We've got time to make the world go 'round
Let's just sit awhile
And give my heart a chance
To understand your love
When I met her I saw something there
Couldn't place it but I knew, I swear
She was putting out some serious air
So much so it was just not fair
When we touched it was electrical
Shock my heart, push and pull
Well I needed to come up for air and try
To understand your love
I knew that it just wasn't right
The love we had wouldn't last the night
But it was too hard to turn you down
Oh I had no control, lost my mind, lost my soul
You took everything you could
Left me blind
Never understood the how and why, I did not try
Never really could understand your love

I wanna tell you a story
Every man oughta know
If you want a little lovin'
You gotta start real slow
She gonna love you tonight
If you just treat her right
Oh squeeze her real gentle
You gotta make her feel good
Tell her that you love her

If you practice my method
Just as hard as you can
You gonna get a reputation
As a lovin' man
Yeah, you'll be glad every night
That you're treatin' her right
Hey hey hey hey etc
She gonna love you tonight
If you just treat her right
