ALL I WANT

It could be love, it could be hate
What’s the difference if all you feel is pain
It could be hope, might be a lie
A broken heart makes you wanna die
It could be rain coming down cold as ice
It’s been like this for so many nights
To go to sleep you’ve got to calm your mind
And drift away somewhere else in time
Is there really anywhere else in time

 


All I want, all I want
All I want is you

 


We pray for peace and march proud into war
Driven by fear we can’t seem to control
Afraid to love afraid to yield
What is this demon we all conceal
There is no truce our nature is to doubt
Is our heart cursed to live without?
But yet this spark that reminds us all
Our soul responds to some distant call
Does anyone hear that distant call?

 


All I want, all I want
All I want is you

 


Somebody told me something that must have made me this way
Said life is just a circle from birth to your grave
Feared I might believe that, sensed it from time to time
You kept my soul from breaking, from losing my mind

 


All I want, all I want
All I want is you
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
All I want is you

NAIVE

He has hope for the hopeless in this dying place 
He doesn’t do what he’s been told,
When he’s told to look the other way
He gets so close to their hurt, 
You know he feels their pain 
He has a vision for the future, calls it paradise
He sees the planet healed and whole, 
Like from the other side 
He won’t deny the evil force, 
Says for now it has it’s place
Believes the end will show us all,
Love has won this race 

How can he, how can he 
How can he believe like that
How can he, how can he 
God, he’s so naive 

He sees the good in every man no matter what’s passed
He has patience and he understands 
He’s so sincere when he holds your broken hand 
Looks you in the eyes and give you this smile, like he knows some secret plan 

How can he, how can he  
How can he believe like that 
How can he, how can he 
God, he’s so naive 

How can he believe like that,
How can he believe 

He holds out for the liars, 
He knows what they mean 
He shares his food with the helpless,
He likes the way they eat 
He says this place ain’t so bad,
Loves the way we all laugh 
Opens his arms oh so wide, 
Says if you could see yourselves 

How can he believe like that,
How can he believe 

He has hope for the hopeless in this dying place 
He has a vision for the future, calls it paradise
He sees the good in every man, 
No matter how bad 
He holds out for the liars, 
He knows what we mean 

How can he believe like that?
How can he believe

UNDER THE STARLIGHT

I don’t feel the pain like I use to, I don’t seem to care that much anymore
I’ve grown blind with time, I don’t see the crime 
I don’t even know what day it is 
I remember when I would dance in the starlight 
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight 
Do you remember dancing in the starlight 
Twirling around, dizzy with love  
Singing all night, under the starlight
 
Now as time goes by it doesn’t matter any less 
You can’t steer the ship you’re in you either sink or float in it 
You get tired of chasing shadows, 
Tired of the promises made You want to hear something simple 
Like your heart is your home and not your grave 

I remember when I would dance in the starlight  
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight  
Do you remember dancing in the starlight  
Twirling around, dizzy with love  
Singing all night, under the starlight 
I really really miss it I really really miss it 

You would kiss me on the lips and say catch me if you dare 
You know we had this courage, Each day, a beautiful mystery 

Do you remember dancing in starlight 
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight 
Do you remember dancing in the starlight
Do you remember? We were dancing in the starlight 
When things got tough there always was enough hope to fight 

Do you remember? Do you remember?  We were dancing in the starlight
Twirling around, dizzy with love 
Out of control, crazy in love 
Singing all night, under the starlight.

YOU CAME FROM SOMEWHERE

You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe
I went far away where no one could reach me
Sifted through the voices to find one who could teach me
Flattery and spies, confusion and lies
I gave up so many good things, my reasons to try
You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe

You know I walked in circles, I crossed all my lines
I gave in to temptation, to see if I was alive
I saw the beauty grow old and die
I had to surrender my reasons to try

You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe
I went far away where no one could reach me
Sifted through the voices to find one who could teach me
I saw the beauty grow old and die
I had to surrender, no reason to try

You came from somewhere, you came to me
You came from somewhere helped me believe

Somewhere, I believe Somewhere, I believe
