If You Love
Chorus
If you love
You know youre gonna feel the hurt
See the flowers
Growin from the muddy earth
You never see the sun
Youre never gonna feel the rain
With your life under glass
In the middle lane
Youll never feel the joy
Never feel the pain
Chorus
Try to build a house on top of the highest tree
Its dangerous and a bit risky
But what about the view
See the clouds and the mountains too
Chorus
Get your hands dirty
Get a little insane
Come out and play with me

Let The Spirit Carry Me
People come together its time for a union
Cmon cmon cmon lets do it right
When the darkness takes control and we lose the reason
Cmon cmon cmon lets see the light
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me
To a place where the stars dont know your name
To a town where the children fly
To a city where love comes naturally
In a country where devils die
I want to be there one more time
When my brain is on the floor I need you to help me
Cmon cmon cmon dont watch me die
And a friend is someone that you allow to help you
Carry me back carry me back hear me cry
Well let the faith shine down on me and let the spirit carry me
And I dreamt of a love that knows no gain
And our guilt didnt paralyse
Men and women and children can walk free
In the world where our devils die
I want to be there one more time

Cookin In The Kitchen
I met an alien one night while I was walking after dark
He said dont be afraid Ive come to know Ive come to make my mark
And theres a road, and its very long
And you gotta be sweet baby
And you gotta be strong
He said why are these men and women lying here just on the street
He said why are these children dying cos they have no food to eat
And theres a road, and its very long
And you gotta be sweet baby
And you gotta be strong
Why are these people hating others for the colour of their skin
Why are your brother creatures murdered for the flesh that lies within
Dont lose the rage, dont become immune
When others criticise you
Dont change your tune
Youve got to love, with a passion that hurts
Its love that conquers baby
Its love that serves
And in the moment before you go to sleep
You can turn on me Im the blue light wrap me round you

Look Mama
Honey, I think audreys a little mature for you
No I dont think shes mature I think shes nice
Hey mom when are we going
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Dont wrap me up in cotton wool
You cant treat me like a fool
Anyway if I was, you gotta let me be one
Ok give me your advice
Its not my fault if I cant be wise
Show me a person who hasnt been done
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Look mama I love you
But you gotta let me live my life
Dont try to stick your rules on me
I wasnt born as a carbon copy
I came out of you

Is There A Difference?
Is there a difference between yes and no
Is there a difference between up and down
Must I fear what others fear
What nonsense
Some people are content
Enjoying things that belong to tradition
With the seasons they cast their lot
Without a question
Other men are clear and bright and solid
Other men are sharp and clever and jolly
And we go wo oh oh wo oh oh oh wo
Is there a difference between high and low
Is there a difference between then and now
Do we have to live in pain and fear
What nonsense
People are drifting like the waves on the sea
Without direction like the restless wind
Not knowing forward not knowing back
Just existing
Other men are strong and full of courage

Step Into These Shoes
Step into these shoes feel this heart
Step into these shoes they might fit you
See through these eyes might be the same view
If Id lived through the same things as you
Id share the laughs, and cry the tears that you do
Chorus
Step into these shoes and feel this heart
Step into these shoes no reason to fight
Look into m mind it might fit you
Act out this part is it so different to you
Even if we dont ever agree
The only difference is cosmetically
Step into these shoes no reason to fight
Step in step into these shoes and feel this heart
Just feel my heart it beats with you
We float downstream in the same canoe
You might find the ocean faster than me
But Ill see it eventually
Step into these shoes and feel this heart
Step into these shoes no reason to fight

Life In One Day
The old man said to me
Said dont always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song
Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone
Chorus
Dont try to live your life in one day
Dont go speed your time away
Dont try to live your life in one day
Dont go speed your time away
The old man said to me
Said you cant change the world single-handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my glass again and again
While the wolves are gathering round your door

Everything
I want to be...
The coffee in your pot
I want to be the shower in the morning
Thats steamy and hot
I want to be...
The cherry that paints your lips
I want to be the stick shift
At your fingertips
What ever I think of its never enough
To show you my love
I want to be your everything!
I want to be...
The wine that swirls around your tongue
I want to be the harley
That you sit upon
I want to be...
The elvis that makes you scream and shake
I want to be the velvet
That hugs your pretty shape
What ever I think of its never enough

Takin The Time
Youre working overtime
You know it doesnt do you no good
Youre slaving away for things that you need
Roof is falling down on round your head
Youre backed against the wall
Living your whole damn life
At someone elses beck and call
On the edge of the [night/knife]
Aaaaahhhh, come on
Come in, youre bruised and battered
You need some time to heal
Step out of the bullet train
Set yourself down, I know how you feel
Slow down your racing pulses
Overthrow all your of fears
For an hour, be a simple man
And Ill be a good set of ears
Aaaaahhhh, come on
Chorus
Takin the time to look

Dont Want To Fight Anymore
Dont want to fight anymore oh no
Dont want to cry anymore no more
Dont want to fight anymore oh no
Dont want to cry anymore no more

No enemy
No I dont want to fight anymore
No I dont, I dont, no I dont
No I dont want to cry anymore
Dont want to cry
No I dont, I dont
No I dont, oh no
No weapons
No secrecy
All slogans
Blind loyalty
