Heaven

I don't know where it is I'm going
I don't know where it is that I come from
All I know is that I gotta keep growing
Until the song is over and the work is done
Everybody's looking for Heaven
But maybe Heaven is right here on Earth
And all we gotta do is open up our eyes
We'll find the answers that'll quench our thirst
We've been fighting for all the wrong reasons
Greed and oppression will not rule the age
And I don't think it's treason
To say that we should be more careful 'bout the wars we wage
Everybody's searching for salvation
But maybe salvation just can't be found
We build ourselves idols to worship and to lead us
They keep us blindfolded and turn us round

Quiet as a Mousetrap

I want you to know that I know you know
I want you to know that I know you know
I want you to know that I know you know
That I know you know
But I should've known better
I know that now
And I'm knitting her a sweater
She showed me how
And I swear I won't forget her
They beat me down
I once ruled the ring oh yes indeed
I once ruled the ring oh yes indeed
I once ruled the ring oh yes indeed
Oh yes indeed
I could knock them out cold
With my one-two
Beat the bravest of the bold
Out of their shoes
Then they told me I was old
What could I do
And now I'm sitting in a chair with no boxing gloves on
Pulling out the stuffing to my favorite song
To my current situation the words are all wrong
And it's quiet as a mousetrap no one to sing along

Quicksand
06:13
|

|
I'm sinking
In your quicksand
I can't pull
Up to save my
Life and
It's not really fair
I'm drowning
In your ocean
I'm being
Swept away but
I can't
Really say I care
I've got
A funny feeling
And my
Head is reeling
And you know
It's all because of you
You've got
Some kind of power
Over
Me that devours
All my
Worries you know it's true
I like
The way you look at
Me when
You're talkin' to me
You cast a spell
That makes my mind move slow
And if I
Could break it maybe
You would
Tell me baby
Why you
Why you have to go

Freedom
04:53

Wake up, open your eyes
Don't you give up don't you give up on me
You know you're better than that
Come on, the time has finally come
Don't leave me now
When you know I need you the most
Stand by me now
And we'll find for the rights that we know we should have
Stand by me now
And we'll find for the freedom we know we deserve
Don't stop now, we're almost there
The blood is pumpin' pumpin' pumpin' in your heart
The sweet air fills your lungs
You know you're ready for this
Mind and body, body and soul
We will not rest until we've reached our final goal
The light is all we see
But this is not the end
Stand by me now
And we'll find for the rights that we know we should have
Stand by me now
And we'll find for the freedom we know we deserve
Now with your words of war
You can't speak them anymore
They've no power here
For we know no fear

All That Boyhood Brings
04:38
|
|||
|
Don't look back in anger
You've got the rest of your life to reconcile
Now you know for the better
What it's like to be a child
When I was a boy
I thought as a boy
My world was all
That boyhood brings
But I am a man
I think as a man
And I've given up
The childish things
Now this is not to say that I've forgotten
All that my parents tried so hard to teach
Or think of myself only as a weapon
A tool to be used by those before me
For this is a race
Of arrogant men
Who don't difer much from
Those who came before them
We're offered a choice
Between two of the same
And we don't raise our voices
We just go with the game
So who are the men who rule our lives
These venerable father figures who do not provide
They see us all with tainted eyes
They keep the questions that mean most unanswered til we die
But we're occupied by other stuff
The television and radio say is good for us
They keep you distracted all the while
They make your choices for you in their eyes you're still a child

As You Were
05:14
|
|||
|
Did you think
That I would understand
All the things
Exploding in your head
I was shocked
By everything you told me
I could not
Believe what you said
But late last night
I watched as you were sleeping
When your mind
And body were so sore
If you don't
Prepare for every battle
Then you won't
Survive the war
Where were you
When I was all alone
Where were you
When I took that fall
But as you know
These things are in the past now
And it doesn't
Matter at all
'Cause late last night
I watched as you were sleeping
And you dreamt
That I was by your side
I was there
Although you didn't see me
Even though
Your eyes were open wide
Now I'm not one
To jump to conclusions
And I'm not
The jealous kind
But my dear
You have made allusions
That you don't
Want me in your life
But late last night
I watched as you were sleeping
And you called
Me out by name
So I awoke
You soft and gently
And you know
It's always gonna be that way

Future
09:54
|
|||
|
Don't let it confuse you so
It's now at your back
In time you will come to know
What you learned from it
And everything you've done
Everything you've still to do
You grant your wishes on your own
Where do you go from here
Which seeds will be sown
And which will disappear
Yesterday is gone
You can never go back
Sing a lonely song
For the first and final act
You say you wanna
Be something better
Go on get to it
No one else can do it for you
Strangers pass along the road
A smile is shared each way
Their eyes have met once long ago
They may meet again
The future is waiting
Just outside the door
You have a key should you decide
To reach out your hand
Swim in the shining tide
Waves on the sand
Memories are saved
Everywhere you go
With every move that's made
Come the ones that never show
But if a path is never laid
You can never know
Don't be afraid
You say you love her
Go on and show her
You are the master
Of your own future
Turn the light on send me a sign
Turn the light on send me a sign
Turn the light on send me a sign
Don't set me aside I'm on your side

Tranquility
10:33
|
|||
|
Find a way of coming down
Without breaking every bone
Safely landing on the ground
And returning home
From wandering empty streets
Pondering distant dreams
Change is a necessity to avoid
Falling through the seams
A cog in the machine
And everybody knows the cost
Of living the way we are
Paradise is already lost
Maybe it was never there
Something's coming
Though we admit we know not what
Best start running
If we wanna keep what we've got
Cool the body's raging fire
With bare feet on a luscious green
Peace is what we all desire
Tranquility
Without dissonance the mind
Is free to dwell on othe things
Looking inwardly to find
What we really need
What we really need
And everybody knows the score
But do we know just where we are
Or just what we're fighting for
Or are we all just unaware
Something's coming
A thousand of our brothers' thoughts
Splendid, shining
Knowledge is what we've got
