For A Friend

Everybody needs
Someone to rely on
So when your darkness comes
Look at me I’ll be a light on
I’m not better than God nor prayer, I’m just
A hand to hold on to and someone that loves you
Not bigger than life, I’m not wrong I’m not right
Just someone who‘ll be there for you,
Someone who’ll be there, be right there for you
Everybody needs
A shoulder to lean on, they need
Sanctuaries and havens, and places that save them
So climb on (Climb on)
I’m not better than God nor prayer, I’m just
A hand to hold on to and someone that loves you
Not bigger than life, I’m not wrong I’m not right
Just someone who’ll be there for you,
Someone who’ll be there, be right there for you
Everybody needs someone to count on
And all I’m saying is, you can count on me
All I’m saying is …..
I’m not better than God nor prayer, I’m just
A hand to hold on to, and someone that loves you
Not bigger than life, I’m not wrong I’m not right
Just someone who’ll be there for you,
Someone who’ll be right there for you,
Someone who’ll be right there
Someone who’ll be right there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you

Going With You
03:53
|
|

It’s Saturday morning and I’m looking at
My list of things to do
I got some shopping going on
And a couple of little jobs too
And we are going on a ride this afternoon
Going on a ride this afternoon …
But when you whisper darling let’s get going
That’s Ok, ‘cause I am going with you
Going with you, darling
I am going with you …with you
And then it’s up to the mountains,
All covered in, all covered in snow
And homes full of cheer and people beckoning
Friends that we could get to know
Just jump into the spotlight and don’t forget to smile
The whole world is calling in that room
So when you whisper darling, let’s keep going
That’s Ok, ‘cause I am going with you
I’m going with you, darling
I am going with you
I’m going places, I have never been…with you by my side
I get courageous…I will let us in, gonna let us win
And when we finally get to that far away
Place that we are going to,
Underneath the ombrelles at the acropolis
I spend all my time looking at you
Or falling to our knees, in that church in Rome
My hands pushed upwards for you
When you whisper darling, let’s get going
That’s Ok ‘cause I’ll be going with you,
I’m going with you, darling
I am going with you …
I’m going places, I have never been…with you by my side
I get courageous …I will let us in, gonna let us win
And we are going on a ride this afternoon
Going on a ride this afternoon
So when you whisper darling let’s get going
That’s Ok, ‘cause I am going with you

Be The Change

Be the Change (Inspired by Mahatma, Jean D’Arc, Joan et Jean louis)
Treat every minute of every day
As if it was the last one on your plate
Share the love and make amends, don’t wait too long
Cause life has a habit of moving along
Begin by believing you will not be alone
Start to forgive and you will be strong enough…
To be the change that you want to see
Go be the change you are
Unique Believe
Learn from the time you spend out
In the middle of a crowd
Be humble and strong not
Empty and loud
Never nothing in the world I know
Comes for free,
Jump in now
Swimming up that stream
Begin by believing you will not be alone
Start to forgive and you will be strong enough
To be the change that you want to see
Go be the change you are
Unique Believe
Satisfaction awaits, roll up your sleeves
You can change things if you believe
Your life is your message, so be sincere
You are unique
Believe
Begin by believing you will not be alone
Start to forgive and you will be strong enough
To be the change that you want to see
Go be the change you are unique

I am Sorry
03:16
|
|

I did something,
That I should not have
And maybe somewhere
Deep down I'm sorry that I did
I never meant to
Hurt you in any way
So I'm sending out these words hoping
They’ll sing what I can’t say
So if you hear this song
It’s a kind of prayer from me to you
Believe me I was wrong
But I know what I am saying is for real
What I'm saying is dear, I am sorry
I said something
That I should have not said
I see it in your eyes
Playing games in your head
Let me take back the clouds
That I send your way
And let me wish that
This be your happiest day
So if you hear this song
It’s a kind of prayer from me to you
Believe me I was wrong
But I know what I am saying is for real
What I'm saying is dear, I am sorry
So if you hear this song
It’s a kind of prayer from me to you
Believe me I was wrong
But I know what I am saying is for real
What I'm saying is dear, I am sorry

Heal
03:33

We drive down beautiful 10 lane highways
Watch forests fall to glossy magazines
Self-consume ourselves like there is no tomorrow
When we should try being more like trees
We need to breathe
We need to be
A community of people ,
To recommit and re-create worth
Lose their carbon addiction
And heal the earth
I see we are , sailing down, muddy rivers
Crossing lines that we don’t seem to understand ,
Photosynthesis is not an enemy
Nor is it un-Canadian
We need to breathe
And we need to be
A community of people ,
To recommit and re-create worth
Lose their carbon addiction
And heal the earth, heal the earth ,heal the earth
This hi tension living can work itself to green
And changing is not an impossible dream
I know what I can I do , and the steps you can take
All start when we decide to participate
In the change and for change
Oh we need to be
A community of people ,
To recommit and re-create worth
Lose their carbon addiction
And heal the earth, wo yea heal the earth ,
A community of people ,
To recommit and re-create worth
Lose their carbon addiction
And heal the earth , oh heal the earth ,heal the earth

Geisha Eyes
03:34

|

When you lay your geisha eyes on me
Is when I begin to breath
I’m lying near the fire’s heat
Far from all my enemies
But when you pull me back to you
Away from being a soldier
It’s just as if the whole dam world
Just lifted off my shoulders…. Just lifted off my shoulders
When you lay your geisha eyes on me
Is when I rise in you
You are exorcising me
I’m coming alive in you
But when you pull me back in you
Away from being a stranger
It’s just as if the whole dam world
Just lifted off my shoulders….Just lifted off my shoulders
When you lay your geisha eyes on me
Is when I smile at you
You’re shining an inner peace
I’m coming back for more
But when you pull me back on you
Away from being a saviour
It’s just as if the whole dam world
Just lifted off my shoulders…
When you lay your geisha eyes on me
Your geisha eyes
Geisha eyes on me
Geisha eyes

Silver Cup

Silver cup
We’ll get it right one day, it might not be today
But someday soon, winning will fill this room
And I'll remember, all the work that we’ve done, how you
Believed in me and did not quit, got back up
You got back up
So I will not give up on us
Till we all drink from that silver cup
No I will not give up on us
Till we're champions, till we are number one
The only limits are ones that we place on ourselves
It's time to believe, it's time for something else
Aim at perfection, take it up another notch, we’ll form
A nation, show our fans what we got,
Oh what we got
so I will not give up on us
Till we all drink from that silver cup
No I will not give up on us
Till we're champions, till we are number one
so I will not give up on us
Till we all drink from that silver cup
No I will not give up on us
Till we're champions, till we’re number one
No I won’t give up on us
Until we drink from that silver cup
No I won’t give up on us
Until we are champions
No I won’t give up on us
Until we all drink from that silver cup
No I won’t give up on us
Until we all drink from that silver cup
No I
No I
No I won’t give up on us
On y arrivera bien un jour, ce ne sera peut-être pas aujourd'hui
Mais un jour bientôt, gagner remplira cette pièce
Et je me souviendrai de tout le travail que nous avons fait, comment vous avez cru en moi et je n'ai pas arrêté, je me suis relevé
Tu t'es relevé
Alors je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous buvions tous dans cette coupe d'argent
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons champions, jusqu'à ce que nous soyons numéro un
Les seules limites sont celles que l'on s'impose
Il est temps de croire, il est temps pour autre chose
Visez la perfection, montez d'un cran, nous formerons
Une nation, montre à nos fans ce que nous avons,
Oh ce que nous avons
donc je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous buvions tous dans cette coupe d'argent
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons champions, jusqu'à ce que nous soyons numéro un
donc je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous buvions tous dans cette coupe d'argent
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons champions, jusqu'à ce que nous soyons numéro un
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous buvions dans cette coupe d'argent
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons champions
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous buvions tous dans cette coupe d'argent
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas
Jusqu'à ce que nous buvions tous dans cette coupe d'argent
Non je
Non je
Non je ne nous abandonnerai pas

Hunger For You

Hunger for you
I come around your back door for
A taste of heaven that lifts me up;
But love is blind & you can’t see ,
I’m an open book, but you don't read, so
How long must I wait for you?
Are you that strong, that love can’t conquer you?
Though I will stand strong, like lover’s do
How long must all of my solitude,
Hunger for you , hunger for you
Though we’re living neath cloudy skies
The love you gave me your secret smile
Can reappear, in spite of them…like …
Sunshining through the rain
So how long must I wait for your
“Life’s worth living ,that’s what giving’s all about” love….to be mine ?
Though I will stand strong, like lover’s do
How long must all of my solitude ,
Hunger for you , hunger for you? Hunger for you ?
How long must I wait for you? How long ?
Though I will stand strong, like lover’s do
How long must all of my solitude ,
Hunger for you , hunger for you

SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
03:45
|
|
||
What am I doing rushing down these streets?
Never getting to know the people that I meet
Not taking time, I’m not making the space,
I’m living at a crazy pace, at a crazy pace
My life is based on continuous motion,
If I was a machine, I would be snow blower
I should read the signs etched across my face
And give up running in this crazy human race, human race
Well I need somebody to show me a different path
I’m might going nowhere, but I’m going their too fast
I need someone to save me from all this madness
I need someone to save me from myself
Save me from myself
I know my world is endlessly unique
I play like a young man who’s not growing weak
I wanna drive in the other lane the one that
Takes me away from this crazy place, from this crazy place
Well I need somebody to show me a different path
I’m might going nowhere, but I’m going their too fast
I need someone to save from all this madness
I need someone to save me from myself
Save me from myself
What am I doing rushing down these streets?
Never knowing the people that I meet
Or taking time, or making space
For the truth in your eyes and on your face
Well I need somebody to show me a different path
I’m might going nowhere, but I’m going their too fast
I need someone to save from all this madness
I need someone to save me from myself
Save me from myself- Save me from myself -from myself
Save me from myself !

Saying Goodbye
03:29
|
|
||
I marched like a soldier to the beat of your drum
Hoping that you’d see my light
I left right lefted, as best as I could
I was always a step out of time
To the beat of your drum, to the beat of your drum
I know you’re being the only way
That you can be
And this is the only way I know,
To say goodbye
So I’m saying goodbye
To the beat of your drum
I said rain rain stay away, from my parade,
And from my smile
Chase your clouds and your shade, away
From my inner rhyme
From the beat of my drum, from the beat of my drum
I know you’re being the only way
That you can be
And this is the only way I know,
To say goodbye
So I’m saying goodbye
To the beat of your drum
Here’s to all those summer nights we spent
Gazing up at the sky
My friends and me dreaming’ of finding the stars
…… hiding inside
Know you’re being the only way
That you can be
And this is the only way I know,
To say goodbye
And so I’m saying goodbye
To the beat of your drum
I'm saying goodbye to the fences that make me live inside the lines
And following the crowd, blocking out the sunshine
Bye to the river that runs from these tears I cry
Bye baby bye
To the beat of your drum
To the beat of your drum
I'm saying goodbye, yea
