Why is there you,
When there are few,
People making me feel good.
Why is there me,
When air is free,
Some I can see better than I should,
There's only us,
Simply because,
Thinking of us makes us both happy
I think of you everyway, yesterday and today,
I think of things we do all the way everyday
Stand in the sea
Sing songs for me,
Sing happily making me feel good,
Watching your eyes,
Feeling your sighs,
Saying goodbyes better than I could,
There's only us,
Simply because,
Thinking of us makes us both happy
I think of you everyway yesterday and today,
I think of nothing but you things we do, things we do.

I awoke this morning
Love laid me down by the river
Drifting I turned on up stream
Bound for my forgiver
In the giving of my eyes to see your face
Sound did silence me
Leaving no trace
I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Beg to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA'

He spoke of lands not far
Nor lands they were in his mind
Of fusion captured high
Where reason captured his time
In no time at all he took me to the gate
In haste I quickly
Checked the time
If I was late
I had to leave, to hear your wonderous stories
Had to hear your wonderous stories 'LA AHA, LA AHA'

Hearing
Hearing hearing your wonderous stories
Hearing your wonderous stories
It is no lie I see deeply into the future
Imagine everything
You're close
And were you there
To stand so cautiously at first
And then so high
As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky
I bid it to return
To hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories
Return to hear your wonderous stories

Hold come a day dream
Ask a flower to kneel
as you pray to the runner

Spurn all ye kindle
and cradle his sweet pleasure
as you just look
farther and farther beyond him,
beyond him, beyond him

Call for the giver, the taker
rejoicing
as you just look
farther and farther beyond him,
beyond him, beyond him

Spurn all ye kindle and cradle his sweet pleasure

In it all
to the devil take
In it all
to the devil take

In the morning when you rise,
Do you open up your eyes, see what I see?
Do you see the same things ev'ry day?

Do you think of a way to start the day
Getting things in proportion?
Spread the news and help the world go 'round.

Have you heard of a time that will help us get it together again?
Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong?
Well, the time is near the word you'll hear
When you get things in perspective.
Spread the news and help the word go round.


There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the time is now.
There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me,
It's right for me, and the word is love.

This child am I.
Awake this world.
To give, recieve,
my love to you.
Now.

This child in me
believes in truth
now.

We move, we sing.
One love we breath
this child and I
now.
(Translated and transcribed by Ramiro Bonilla)

And in a time that's closer, life will be even older then.
Souls will be complicated, life will be consummated then.
Hearts will be brought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.


Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Truth is just for the being and is the sight for seeing then.
Thoughts will be thought together soon in our minds forever then.
As long as we see there's only us, who can change it;
Only us to rearrange it at the start of a new kind of day.
And in a time that's closer, life will be even bolder then.
Love is the only answer, hate is the root of cancer then.
Truth is just for the being and is the sight for seeing then.

The Prophet
Anderson/Squire

Long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday,
Searching for the truth to life and not for just the way.
Finding pleasure from the sounds his ears, they did obey;
In his life a moment's pleasure, never to delay.


He was lost and in his trust he found a new meaning;
Seeing things in diff'rent lights his life was redeeming.


Words of peace would fill his mind and change his way of life;
Peaceful meetings with his heart have made him more alive.
Meeting wise old women on the cliffs of life itself;
Asking more for first meaning, more for just himself.

Soon we'll be as he proclaimed in a new way of living;
Take the things you need in life but remember the giving.


Prophesy within your mind and you will work it out;
Prophesy that some will die but only those who doubt.
Then you'll never worry as somtimes you used to do;
Just remember when you're gone there's someone after you, you.

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon
She puts the sweetness
in and stirs it with a spoon,
She watches for my moods
and never brings me down
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make me feel so good inside
And when I'm all alone
I feel I don't want to hide
Today she bought me in and
told me where she'd been
She put my mind at rest
and put the sweetness in
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around
She puts the sweetness in all around
She knows just what to say
to make a sunny day
And when I'm all alone
I really don't feel that way.
Tell me how would you feel
with no world of your own
And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way
I'm so glad it's today
and you're here, you're here.

Sunshine is creeping in and somewhere in a field a life begins,
An egg too proud to rape the beginning of the shape of things to come,
That start the run, life has begun, fly fast the gun.
The Mother flew too late and life within the egg was left to fate,
Not really knowing how the world outside would take it when it came,
And life's the same for things we aim, are we to blame?
Don't doubt the fact there's life within you,
Yesterday's endings will tomorrow life give you,
All that dies, dies for a reason,
To put its strength into the Season,
Survival, Survival,
They take away and they give their life as they live,
The living right to live, it's all that we need to show
The livings right to know.
The egg breaks all is out, the crawling bird begins to scream and shout,
Where is the parent bird, a loneliness arose and heard its name-
Ring in for live's begin, survival win, survival's sin.
So soon the evening comes with it runs the aching
Fear of hate could Someone still remain who thinks he
Still could gain by escaping fate? it's much too late,
Don't underrate, appreciate.
And we're all going
And we're all going
And we're all going somewhere!

Hold my life
cross the path
course and curl my dreams away

Fast the soul
make the break
as even as the stars that form the way

Rider

Turn a mountain send them lost
among the flowers of the young

Turn a mountain send them lost
among the flowers of the young


Rider Rider Rider

Hold my life
cross the path
course and curl my dreams away

Fast the soul
make the break
as even as the stars that form the way

Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.
Let these words,
Please, let this song
Take you so
Completely.
You have the gift of love.
You have the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.
Be the light.
For once, be sure.
Be the light
you are.
You are the sound of love.
You are the sound of life.
Take whatever you need.
More will come as you reopen
All your senses changing.
Once you have seen,
Be awake to this life song.
Shine for me,
I'll shine for you,
Each waking dawn,
Each day.
You are the gift of love.
You are the gift of life.
Take whatever you need.

Veo en tu andar ese Abril,
daas de otooo paseo sin fin,
rumba de invierno que viene a lucir,
sigue tus pasos Mayo a seguir. la la la
Nace en tu vientre un reflejo del sol,
vistiendo el rocao amanezco en pasi÷n,
Primavera, ese anhelo de Dios,
el viento viene a decir.
-----------------------
Cuando te veo y encuentro el sabor,
pienso en el sol de una quinta estaci÷n,
naturaleza y su ciclo pas÷
viviendo el tiempo vuelvo a empezar.
-----------------------

(english)

I see in your walking that April,
autumn days, endless stroll,
winter party that comes to look
May follow your steps to go on.
Born in your womb a sun ray,
wearing the sprinkle, i awake in passion,
Sprins, the God`s yearning,
the wind comes to tell.
------------------
When i see you and find the taste,
i think about the sun of a fifth season,
the nature pass with its cycle.
Living the time i begin again.

Thou art mother, thou art father,
thou art friend and companion
Thou art knowledge and wealth,
thou art all in all
Lead us from the unreal to the real
Lead us form ignorance to light
lead us from death to immortality
Manifest through and through
Protect us with your sweet benign presence
We offer this meditation,
body, mind
and spirit
Past, present and future to be
for thou art all in all

Riding in this car on the ???highway of love
Simply Looking for a place to dance the night
She smiled at me and said: "Which way do you wanna go now?"
I said: "It could be this way... It could be that"
"Come in to my room"
"You can dance with my tune"
"You can dance with my body"
"You can dance with my love"
"You can dance in these arms"
"You can dance with my life"
"You can dance with each rhythm above you"

She said...
"S?lo quiero tu amor" (I just want your love)
"S?lo amantes saben como vivi" (Only lovers know how I lived)
"Completamente libre" (Completely free)
"Bailando entre sue?os enamorados" (Dancing between loved dreams)
"Pensando en esse amor se puede so?ar" (Thinking of that love, one can dream)
"Revivir, revivir" (To relive,to relive)
"Ven conmigo esta noche" (Come with me tonight)
"A bailar, a bailar" (To dance... to dance...)
"Ven a bailar..." (Come to dance...)

"Come dance with me" she said

So we went into the rhythm of piano conversation
And in the corner was this man singing to his friends
She took me by the hand...
Said "This is the way... this is the way to paradise!"
"Just dance with me... I'll bring you higher... higher..."
"To be true, to be right..."
"This is the play... the place you love..."
"the is the drama within you... they call it Midnight Dancing"

Looking around me
There's not too much in life I miss
Things that I can't see
I'll touch and I'll feel then I'll kiss
Then I saw you standing there
With a smile I couldn't share
Just looking around, everywhere.
Tunes that I can't hear,
Would take me for a while my smile
Fares that are too dear
I'd rather walk out another smile
Then I heard a tune so right
It was in the light of night
Just listening around everywhere
All the things I've wanted to do
Take so much time to get around to you
Just reach out and catch and hold on
Leaving trails of dust and lust never even lying or trying
Keep on moving and never dying.
Smiles that I don't see
I'll make them up as I go on
Laughs that just can't be
I'll make and laugh at everyone
Then I saw you in your place
With a laugh upon your face
Just looking around everywhere
Looking around with my feet on the ground full of words and
Of sound bringing smiles all around
Satisfy me with your words that can be full of sound and I'll
See I'm just looking around.
