Both sides of the story
Can't find my way
Can't turn back the years
Everyday
Father and Son
Find a way to my heart
I've forgotten everything
Please come out tonight
Survivors
There's a place for us
We fly so close
We wait and we wonder
We're sons of our fathers
Both sides of the story
Find yourself in the gutter in a lonely part of town
Where death waits in the darkness with a weapon to cut some stranger down
Sleeping with an empty bottle, he's a sad and an empty hearted man
All he needs is a job, and a little respect, so he can get out while he can
We always need to hear both sides of the story
A neighbourhood peace is shattered it's the middle of the night
Young faces hide in the shadows, while they watch their mother and father fight
He says she's been unfaithful, she says her love for him has gone
And the brother shrugs to his sister, ans says "looks like it's just us
from now on"
We always need to hear both sides of the story
And the lights are all on, the world is watching now
People looking for truth, we must not fail them now
Be sure, before we close our eyes
Don't walk away from here
'til you hear both sides
Here we are all gathered in what seems to be the centre of the storm
Neighbours once friendly now stand each side of the line that has been drawn
They've been fighting here for years, but now there's killing on the streets
While small coffins are lined up sadly, now united in defeat
And the lights are all on, the world is watching now
People looking for truth, we must not fail them now
Be sure, before we close our eyes
Don't walk away from here
'til you see both sides
White man turns the corner, finds himself within a different world
Ghetto kid grabs his shoulder, throws him up against the wall
He says "would you respect me if I didn't have this gun
'cos without it, I don't get it, and that's why I carry one"
We always need to hear both sides of the story
zurück
Can't find my way
I've been doing some thinking, here on my own
It's been on my mind
This debt I owe to you
I have to repay in kind
But I can't find my way
Tired and weary, I follow the path
That leads to your door
But it occurred to me, all that I have
Is already yours
But I can't find my way
Oh, just to sit awhile
Oh, just to sit and watch you smile
But I can't find my way
Keep the faith you say
To keep the faith I pray
Be strong you say
Just follow the light
Wheels keep turning but the closer I get
The father I seem
Peace will only come
Finding the peace within
But I can't find my way
zurück
Can't turn back the years
Could've given you everything that you need
But I cannot turn back the years
The perfect love was all you wanted from me
But I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
If your heart's in pieces, you look for the truth
And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
Sometimes, hits me in the morning, hits me at night
That I cannot turn back the years
So I look out my window, turn off my light
But I cannot turn back the years
Can't make it seem easy, when you're all that I see
Can't live in a dream and I won't serenade the truth
People are hurting and they're looking to me
And I look at you there's nothing more to say, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
All that I lived for, all that I dreamed
But I cannot turn back the years
You're the water I drink, you're the air that I breathe
But I cannot turn back the years
So we have to be strong, and I'm finding that hard
We have to move on, but no matter how hard I try
If your hearts in pieces you look for the truth
And when I look deep down inside I know, it's too bad I love you
But I'm never gonna give it up
zurück
Everyday
I got lost, couldn't find my way
And I guess there's nothing more to say
Love can make you blind, make you act so strange
But I'm here and here I will stay
So everyday I cry yes everyday I fall
Do you ever wonder why, why I love everything about you
But everyday I say I'll try to make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep we will
It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
I've got no way to explain
Still I love you, love you, love you but this inside
Will never see the light of day
So everyday goes by and everyday I fall
It makes me wonder why, my life's worth nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try to make my heart be still
'cos every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep, we will
You'll never know, no, no, no
You'll never know just how close we were
You'll never know, no, no, no
No you'll never know no you'll never see
The book closes and we try to forget
But I know that things won't change
How we feel, how life goes on
And that seems so strange
And so the light fades away
Try, try, try, as I may
I can't stop thinking about you
It seems my life's worth
Nothing without you
But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
'til then every way there is to cry
Ourselves to sleep, we will
Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder
zurück
Father and Son
Somewhere down the road, you're gonna find a place
It seems no far, but it never is
You won't need to stay, but you might lose your strength on the way
Sometimes you may feel you're the only one
Cos all the things you thought were safe, now they're gone
But you won't be alone, I'll be here to carry you along
Watching you til all your work is done
When you find your heart, you'd better run with it
Cos when she comes along, she could be breaking it
No there's nothing wrong, you're learning to be strong
Don't look back
She may soon be gone, so don't look back
She's not the only one, remember that
If your heart is beating foot, then you know she's right
If you don't know what to say, well, that's alright
You don't know what to do?
Remember she is just so scared as you
Don't be shy, even when it hurts to say
Remember, you're gonna get hurt someday, anyway
Then you must lift your head, keep it there
Remember what I said
I'll always be with you don't forget
Just look over your shoulder I'll be there
If you look behind you, I will be there
zurück
Find a way to my heart
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I'll be waiting
I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
This journey's not easy for you, I know
If your footstep get too faint to hear,
I'll go cos you know, questions are never that easy
And never the same
You have the answer believe me if you have the faith
Time may come, and this may go, I know
If you should call out for me, I'll go
But you know, there is a code to be broken
I wrap it around without a word spoken
Without a sound
There's a reason I hide my heart
Out of sight, out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to...
zurück
I've forgotten everything
I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says you name
I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang
The memories are hazy now
I don't recall at all
There's nothing, there's nothing there just me
And I don't understand why
I can't recollect my feelings
'til someone mentions that they saw you
I really don't remember all the things you said
'til someone shows me where you live
Why is everything so hazy now
I don't recall at all
There's nothing, there's nothing there just me
And I don't understand why
I recall your smile
The touch or your hand holding mine
And I can't remember why
Holding you seemed so right
The memories they're hazy now
I don't recall at all
There's nothing, there's nothing there just me
And I don't understand why
I've forgotten everything about you
'til someone says your name
I've forgotten all those reasons I loved you
'til someone tells me that you rang
zurück
Please come out tonight
Please come out tonight I need you here
Its been a long, long time and I can't wait
Let's find out, let's see what it's like out there
If it rains we'll find somewhere, somewhere dry and warm
You'll say "my, it's been a long, long time"
I'll say "how are you? I've been fine"
Please come out tonight, let's go out and see the world
We can try to find, find somewhere
It seems so long ago, I can hardly remember the time
It's all I want, it's all I want, so let's see what we find
You'll say "there's so much you need to know"
I'll say "are you really sure you have to go?"
We don't need a reason, no explanations
Just stay with me here, tonight
I won't say a word
I just need you here
Please come out tonight, let's go out and find ourselves
You can lean your head on my shoulder, remember?
You'll say "my, is that the time?"
I'll say "why not stay with me tonight?"
We don't need a reason it's so warm inside
There's no one between us if someone comes we can hide
Just lay here beside me just see what it's like
Please come out tonight

Survivors
No, I never meant to hold you back
I never meant to turn away
Please forgive me
I never meant to break your heart
I’d give my last breath before I do
Please forgive me
No, I never meant to hold you down
I never meant to break your heart
Somehow, somehow we are survivors
No, I never meant to hold you back
I never meant to turn away
Here we are standing here
Survivors in the night
No I never meant to break your heart
I’ll always be here for you
Here’s my word, take my hand
Survivors in the night
When all is said and done
We’ll find a way
To put this all behind us
We’ll find some way
‘cos you know that I won’t be leaving
Yes I’m here and I won’t be leaving
No I never meant to cause you pain
No I never meant to hurt you
All I want to do now, is to try my best
Survivors in the night
When all is said and done
We’ll find someday
We can forget all this
Somehow, some way
And as long as I’m here
There’ll be no worries any more
And all these promises I’m making now
I’ll hold each day
So don’t ever, don’t ever, don’t forget
That I never, never meant to break your heart
All I ever wanted was to stand beside you
Survivors in the night
We are survivors in the night
zurück
There's a place for us
So here we are together just you and me
Sitting side by side don't know why
With time just racing by but I don't want to go
Well I don't know much about it 'cos all I am is what you see
In front of you there's no more feels so close and yet so far
But I don't want to go
Here I am, take my hand
Here I am, please take my hand
I'd like to sit here with you if that's all right
If you don't mind I could sit and stare all night
Sit here waiting for you to hold me tight
It's sad but I know it's true you see I know you well
You'd only laugh at me and that would hurt me so
Just look at me here you've got me pleading with you
But I don't want to go
'Cos you know that I love you so
Yes you know that I love you so
Here, I will be here love
For you love, I will always be here love
If you look real close you'll see my heart is on my sleeve
And it'll be here waiting - waiting for you, waiting for me
Someone once said that if you truly, truly believe
You can make things happen
Make things appear to be all that they seem
Tell me do you believe?
We'll find a hideaway together we'll find a way
Somewhere, somehow, we'll find some way
There must be somewhere there must be someplace
We can find somewhere where they don't know my face
Believe me we can find it yes we can find it
Somewhere, there's a place for us
Somewhere, a time and a place for us
Somewhere
zurück
We fly so close
My harbour lights are fading fast
Soon they’ll disappear
Alone I sit in darkness
Hoping someone might come near
Thought I wait, thought I try
No one ever comes
And the feelings that I have flood over me
The river starts to run
We fly so close
We fly so close
Sometimes we fly too close
Every place you run to, everywhere you turn
There are places that you know you should not go
But some bridges just won’t burn
All my life, thought I try
I cannot change the past
And the ghosts that come back to haunt you
Make you realise at last
My heart is racing much faster now
Life passes before my eyes
Something’s I see, they make me smile
Something’s they make me cry
So I look, so I try to find
A lesson I can learn
The passing of time hasn’t changed my mind
And the ghosts I know return
You know we fly so close
We fly so close, you and I sometimes
Sometimes we fly so close,
We’ll never know how many times
We fly so close
zurück
We wait and we wonder
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
Then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong
We wonder just what must they be thinking
To take a life of one so young
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
How far must they go, to prove to you?
We wait and we wonder how this happened
Killing the old, the innocent, the young
While sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding
That what they do could somehow be so wrong
So tell me when will it be ober now, how soon?
How far must they go, to prove to you?
So we will wait and we'll wonder
No regrets, no forgiveness, no compassion
These brave heroes only know to hit and run
Slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
How can these scars ever heal, when all is said and done
So tell me when will it be over now, how soon?
How many tears must fall to prove to you?
Please tell me, when will it be over now, how soon?
And how far must they go, to prove to you?
So we wait and we wonder
zurück
We're sons of our fathers
When I grow up to be a man like my father was when I was young
I hope I can make him so proud of me proud enough to call me his son
What makes these people so different now what makes these times so strange?
Seems most people got most everything they need how come we see this change
Our sons and daughter seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
This world seemed a nicer place to be
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
You hardly recognise what you see
Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
They're beyond our control
We're all sons of our fathers sometimes I feel like mine
And I can hear him say, the things I say seems all things come around in time
Why these things happen we'll never know
Guess that was then and this is now
We always knew that change was gonna come
But I want to go back, please tell me how
zurück
