For A Friend 03:40
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

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 (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 03:37
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 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

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 !

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
