Deep Blue Sea

Between the devil and the deep blue sea
We all seek our destiny
Some finding clouds where no clouds be
Some setting their minds free
I'm weakened to skin and bone
Can't be fed on the fruits of Babylon
Just finding a way back home
Can't be safe on the streets we travel on
Yet we travel on..
With ignorance and prejudice you can smell the fear
We must persevere
Ride the wind. Direct the storm.
We must carry on
I'm weakened to skin and bone
Can't be fed on the fruits of Babylon
Just finding a way back home
Can't be safe on the streets we travel on...
Summon up courage gather strength
Find the 'sticking place'
Fight the power do the right thing
Who knows what tomorrow brings
I'm weakened to skin and bone
Can't be fed on the fruits of Babylon
Can't find any way back home
Can't be safe on the streets we travel on
Yet we travel on...

The World Today
03:14

The world today it's hard to know where to begin
Airy hopes it seems scatter to the winds
Wait for the gleam of light that flashes from within
Cause it's in there, you must begin
The world today it's hard to know where we belong
Though we try it seems we still get it wrong
Wait for your favorite part so you can sing along
And when you do, sing out strong
Let it go
Let it shine
It's in your soul
It's in your mind

Time Rolls
02:40
|

|
The voices in my head read to me in bed
The things I should of done the things I might have said
The sun rises in the yard, it comes to warm the grass
The dreams they drift and fade
Time rolls and life's pass
Today we said goodbye, carved your name in stone
And though we may have cried at least we're not alone
The tears they fall like rain, but they can't put out this fire
Oh thee eternal flame. A funeral pyre
The sun rises in the yard, it comes to warm the grass
The dreams they drift and fade
Time rolls and life's pass
Time rolls....

Rain, rain, go away
Little Johnny wants to play
And when the sun would gleam
Life was but a dream
The maiden all forlorn
She weathered every storm
Strong diamond in the sky
She even made a dragonfly
1,2 buckle my shoe
3,4 who's at the door
5,6 pick up sticks
7,8 lay them straight
Thursday child has far to go
These lessons he will never know
And even the dog would laugh
How he lost his path
1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive
6,7,8,9,10 then I let him go again
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head

Rubicon
02:19
|

|
When I look down deep inside me
I feel you in my heart. You are my light, my angel
The music makes my life's art
Without you I would be empty
I don't where I be. Only your love satisfies me
Only your love set's me free
And I feel you in my heart
And I feel you in my soul
I must never let you down
I must never let you go
Alone we are lost and aimless
Together we'll cross the Rubicon
To battle with love through the ages
Whichever roads we travel on
Only your love satisfies me
Only your love set's me free
And we must protect this freedom
And our posterity
And I feel you in my heart
And I feel you in my soul
I must never let you down
I must never let you go

Castles

The castles in Spain it never rains
But your thirst is quenched hope of heaven sent
It's so bright, in the dead of night
There's no need for the light
The sun comes out to greet you
All the houses bathed in gold
Truth to make the wounded whole
Heal this world weary soul
Your castles in Spain feel no pain
As if you can't fail Pollyanna tells her tale
She is so bright, in the dead of night
No need for the light
The sun comes out to greet you
All the houses bathed in gold
Truth to make the wounded whole
Heal this world weary soul
The sun comes out to greet you
All the houses bathed in gold
The sun comes out to greet you
All the houses bathed in gold
Act as if you just can't fail
Pollyanna tells her tale

We're all looking for peace and calm in the eye of the storm
But there's a twister coming and you know the score
Do you know, do you even care?
Wars, drought and famine singing in the acid rain
We stand around pointing our fingers
When we're all to blame
Do you know, do you even care?
Do you know, the blame we all must share
Reduced by a wind, a cool breath of spring
And natures gifts, such beautiful things
Do you know, do you even care?
Do you know the world we all must share
