Another one so neglected
It was a blessing in disguise
'Cause one day he opened up his eyes
Chorus:
And started to sing of love just to find it
He started to sing his way to the light
He was born with the master key
To unlock a melody and make it right
They told him to buckle down and pay attention
They taught him to swallow his dreams and his ambitions
So he followed their rules of life by intimidation
To the point where he couldn't find an inspiration
Then he began to wonder why
And suddenly opened up his eyes
Repeat chorus
He found it, a reason
To open his wings and rise above his world of pain
He knows it, he shows it
And so he will sing of love
Never again will he beg to be heard by the powers that be
Never again will he change all his words, 'cause he's gotta be free
He's been there before and he's learned to ignore what they want him to see
He'll write down the truth and he'll sing it to you, you don't have to agree
And no one will ever hold him down
Because of the freedom that he found
Repeat chorus
If you're tryin' to erase your past
By adding to the pain
You're bound to lose the light that's in your eyes
Even a fool who's blinded
Can see you're tryin' to change what's been and done
Breakin' the rules won't find it
What's happening to you's got nothing to do
With who may be right or wrong
Every heart that's broken
Is lookin' for something new
Just beware
'Cause something is lookin' for you
Chorus:
This time love is gonna find you
No more dancin' in the dark
Leave those memories behind you
Let it begin, let me in your heart
You never know how much to burn
When you're fanning different flames
All you get is cold right by the fire
When there's no place left to turn
And all you're feelin' is shame
But somehow it feels better than desire
There comes a time for leavin'
'Cause something deeper's gonna happen soon
Love is what I believe in
To hell with the past, it's happenin' fast
Fallin' in love's what we're doin'
No more heavy curtains
No more shades of blue
Just beware
I'll always be there for you
Repeat chorus
You might think that you're hidin'
So many lives are ridin' on you
And they're lookin' for some light
To shine on their horizon
The sun is finally risin'
Now we know you'll never tell the truth
You've been wrong far too long
And now it's time to make some kinda change
Chorus:
It's all about freedom
It's all about love
And it's about time
Why do we still believe in
The lines that we're receivin' from you
Never seem to rhyme
We see the games you're playin'
The price that we're all payin's too high
For things we didn't do
You break the rules and think it's cool
But now it's our time to make some kinda changes
Repeat chorus
I know we'll find a new way, if we open up
We'll chase the darkness away (We'll tear it down)
We're gonna have a new day
If we never stop believin'
We can make the change together
It's better later than never
Repeat Chorus
And his boys will buy the next election, sell us all a new direction
Bustin' every union in town
It's the same old slimy situation, tons of bogus information
Here it comes, that good old trickle down
And we'll all be wondering why
When we knew did we just let it happen
Now what can we do
It's an uphill battle
Chorus:
It's party time in DC
And the suits are gonna have a ball (takin' it back)
You and I were so easy
And we gave it all away
It's party time in DC
And the trees have just begun to fall (they're gonna cut 'em all down)
All the lies on TV
Can't disguise the face of greed
Greedy people sit together, plannin' out our lives forever
Carvin' out a piece for number one
Thinkin' no one's gonna ever doubt us, everything is right about us
All these votes have brought us Washington
And they always wonder why
Are the poor and the homeless unhappy
They can't take the truth
It's an uphill battle
Repeat chorus
Can you hold me
Then let me go free
I know we're only human
So I gotta know where we stand
We've both been in love before
We've walked in and out some doors
We've always given all we had
There's something we can't ignore
If somebody was keepin' score
If love was luck, our luck was always bad
Chorus:
Love comes and goes
But everyone knows
Sometimes forever has it's day
Are we one of those
Can we take it all the way
Will we make it, who's to say
Together
Will we weather
The storms that we'll get caught in
The silence in between
We pray for
Forever
But we're so afraid of losing
'Cause inside we still believe
The familiar broken hearts
All the friends who live apart
All the reasons that they used to have
Are we acting out the parts
Will we take the chance and start
If love is luck
Is our changin' hands
Repeat chorus
I could never get enough of takin'
And givin' nothing in return
As long as something's shakin'
I'd never take the time to learn
And never fall in love
We played the game (so cool)
Yes, you can touch
But never too much
Right there
We'll never fall in love
No way
It'd never happen
We're lookin' for a sex thang
But you came
The night you had me
No lookin' for the next thing
If I had kept my distance
You'd show me just enough to tease me
But your own resistance
Gave away the things you need
Now you want it all again
You've changed your mind
Love's changin' minds
It happened this time
These two
Would never fall in love
No way
It'd never happen
You're lookin' for a sex thang (you're not so cool)
But you came
The night you had me
No lookin' for the next thing
No way
It'd never happen
You're lookin' for a sex thang
But you came
The night you had me
No lookin' for the next thing
Left my heart in pieces across the great divide
Now I see the Mississippi from the other side
For a little piece of Memphis
I'd gladly give LA
'Cause this California dreamin'
Ain't no southern serenade
Chorus:
I can hear the voices singin'
I can feel the mornin' rain
I can hear the church bells ringin'
See the children play
Singin' "na, na, na, na - na, na, na, na - hey, na, na, na"
Let this southern serenade take me home today
Like a mist slowly rollin'
Across the Gulf of Mexico
There's a yearnin' that's unfoldin'
Everywhere I go
And the melody that I'm hearin', it helps me on my way
Like a song from yesterday
A southern serenade
Repeat chorus
Took a left at sunset, I was on my way
I'll be drivin' through Texas today
Oh, where the big sky never fades
Repeat chorus
There's a sweet magnolia on the pontchartrain
And the willow drips like honey
From a midnight rain
Now he's out of towns, out of bounds, out of chances
He buys dances for dimes
He's fallen down, and turned around
But his search goes on and on
'Cause he's gotta live one love at a time
She can't forget the times before
He opened up the doors of doubt
She's been tryin' to find her innocence
In the eyes of every man
So it happens again
Chorus:
She's out of towns, out of bounds, out of chances
And she still dances for dimes
She can be taken down and turned around
But her search goes on and on
'Cause she's gotta live one love at a time
Every time she falls in love
She falls with the eyes of a child
She's always just expecting to be held
But then somethings always comes around
Someone always lets her down
Soon the girl is movin' on
And it all begins again
Repeat chorus
I never shared my toys
Unless I thought I had a reason
Then one morning I woke up
And found my lonely heart was freezin'
Then you came to me
Chorus:
Mo di mo, o nro met se
Le ny e lo i
Mo di mo, o nro met se
Le ny e lo i
Well, nothing ever happens
If you never tell your story
There's nothing quite as sad as
Lonliness dressed up in glory
You'll never feel a thing
Until you've done a little sharing
You'll never really sing your song
Your voice will never carry
Sing your song to me
Repeat chorus
There are no strangers
There is no danger
'Cause God sent his angels here
There's no need for hopin'
If we stay open
His angels are always here
And if you're fallin' down you're closer
To calling out his name
Repeat chorus
You never find the time
There's always someone else to be
"Hold on, I'll get the other line,
'Cause someone's always calling me,"
All these new distractions
Are here to push the pilgrim from the path
You're moving so fast
How you're gonna see
Chorus:
Are you someone else in the morning
Is there someplace else you'd rather be
If you should fall in love with somebody new
Let that someone else be me
Searchin'; is anybody home?
You've done it on your own too long
Slow down, and listen to the wind
I wanna hear you singin' your song
No one knows you better
So let her get her naked in the sun
Just be the one
In love with me
Are you someone else in the morning
Is there someone else you'd rather be
If you should fall in love with somebody new
Let that someone else be me
Take a little time
To own what you're feeling
Give your heart half a chance to see
Repeat chorus
