I feel lovin’ coming through my veins
Watch the sunrise and let it drown you in it’s rays
You’ve got to believe baby
And one day you’ll see…
(Chorus)
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Let your worries drift into another place
Share the glory of our soulful human race
You’ve got to unite people
‘Cause love is so right…
(Chorus)
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
[Bridge]
We must become the change that brings a brighter day
So celebrate your life, love is here to stay
Time passes by and by, don’t see with just your eyes
Open your heart and mind ‘cause life is a big surprise
Friends are priceless even when they make you mad
Laughter always numbs the pain that makes you sad
You’ve got to rejoice
‘Cause love is a choice…
(Chorus)
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Love will make your day
Numb to the touch of your last embrace
You keep giving me reasons to leave your place
Nothing to see, nowhere to breathe
You’re making it hard for me to understand
How I’m going to make it through another day
There’s just no way
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause we’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
We’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
(Chorus)
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Stuck in your haze, blind to the maze
Walking in your footsteps, dancing in the dark with your shadows
How long can this be, your picture of me?
And is it all you’ve ever wanted,
Is it all you ever thought it could be?
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause we’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
We’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
We’re going to need somebody, we’re going to need somebody
We’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
(Chorus)
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
[Bridge]
We all have places that we can land
For every fallen angel, there’s a reason how
So just dust off your wings and fly
Dust off your wings and fly
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause we’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
We’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
We’re going to need somebody, we’re going to need somebody
We’re going to need somebody when somebody leaves
(Chorus)
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
You’re gone somehow
You’re gone somehow
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
There’s something about life (that) makes us go insane
(I’ve) been thinking about the struggles and the pain
Only one thing left we’ve got to do
We’ve got to keep on going through and through
(Chorus)
(It’s) all up to you
It’s time we find solutions in our hearts
To love each other from the very start
We hate and kill each other by the gun
But only out of fear, ‘cause we are one
(Chorus)
(It’s) all up to you
(It’s) all up to you
Be kind to every neighbor that we see
It’s start with you, me and humanity
We do it for love, life, truth, liberty
So come together celebrate with me
(Chorus)
(It’s) all up to you
(It’s) all up to you
(It’s) all up to you
(It’s) all up to you
If I could live forever
Would you be there by my side?
If I could be a dreamer
Would you be the star in my sky?
If we could be together
Would you hold me when I cry?
If I could make the world sing
Would you help my spirit fly…oh so high?
(Pre-Chorus)
And when the days of sorrow
Come into my life
Will you go tomorrow
And leave me in my strife?
(Chorus)
I guess somethings in life are better left unsaid now
There’s room for doubts and fears and questions in my head how
Your love is like a drink that never gets me drunk so
I wish you could decide if I could be the true key to your heart
If I could be an ocean
Would you be my only tide?
If I could be a forest
Would you be my rain tonight?
If I could be a tunnel
Would you be that shed of light?
If I could be an angel
Would you be my wings for flight?
(Pre-Chorus)
And when the days of sorrow
Come into my life
Will you go tomorrow
And leave me in my strife?
(Chorus)
I guess somethings in life are better left unsaid now
There’s room for doubts and fears and questions in my head how
Your love is like a drink that never gets me drunk so
I wish you could decide if I could be the true key to your heart
(Chorus)
I guess somethings in life are better left unsaid now
There’s room for doubts and fears and questions in my head how
Your love is like a drink that never gets me drunk so
I wish you could decide if I could be the true key to your heart
*** PETER GABRIEL “IN YOUR EYES” VERSE AND CHORUS QUOTED HERE.
Can anybody tell me the way to paradise?
Or will you just turn your back and laugh at me
Where has all the time gone to find the truth in me?
And will I just love myself for who I am
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I don’t know what to believe
And I just want you to know that I’m free…
(Chorus)
You can’t take that away from me
You can’t take that away from me
How come people have to hurt so bad
To find what we really need?
And are we too scared to let our feelings show?
How come everybody can’t unite
And can we just let our children live in peace?
(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I don’t know what to believe
And I just want you to know that I’m free…
(Chorus)
You can’t take that away from me
You can’t take that away from me
[Bridge]
Love will set you free
If you just take time to see
That we are one family of equality
(Chorus)
You can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take that away from me
You can’t take that away from me
You can’t take that away from me
I say FREEDOM
All we need is FREEDOM
Don’t take for granted FREEDOM
All we need is FREEDOM

(Pre-Chorus)
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I don’t know what to believe

(Intro)
So our paths fork on this road
So our paths fork on this road
You go your way
I go mine
You go your way
I go mine
But tonight I want to make you mine…
All mine
Tonight I want to make you mine…
All mine
Tonight I want to make you mine
All mine
Tonight I want to make you mine
All mine
It’s so hard to know when to let go
It’s so difficult to say goodbye
I try to hold on, but you’ve got to leave
When will the night be just a dream?
(Pre-Chorus)
All I see is how I long to be
By your side…
(Chorus)
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
You kiss me with all the love inside
Yet run away so you can hide
You fight the battle of the heart and mind
Once you surrender, you will find…
(Pre-Chorus)
All I see is how I long to be
In your arms…
(Chorus)
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
[Bridge]
All I want is to hold you tight through the night
All I want is to hold you tight through the night
Tonight
I hope someday my love will do
But know this, I’ve always loved you
You are the reason love can be so strong
Why keep me waiting so long?
(Pre-chorus)
All I see is what you mean to me
Stay with me/In your heart…
(Chorus)
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
I want you, need you tonight
I want you, need you tonight
I want you, need you tonight
I want you, need you tonight
So here I am waiting for each other
You make the first move and I’ll follow is the common plea
And here I stand sifting through this madness
When there’s simplicity, why does there have to be misery?
(Chorus)
Wise men say all we need is each other
But still we stay the same
What’s left of me is yearning to discover
A world that sees you and me and all that’s free
In harmony
(Chorus)
Wise men say all we need is each other
But still we stay the same
[Bridge]
And she can make me fly
If she decides to try
Oh…
Some years ago this song remained unspoken
But once your trust is broken, what’s the point of faith in anyone?
So there you are looking for the answers
Take from me, lift from me the burden we disagree
In dignity
(Chorus)
Wise men say all we need is each other
But still we stay the same
There’s a difference…
You’re the difference
I’m the difference
Together we’re the difference.
Open up and see
Pain eventually
Don’t forget to hide
The devil waits inside…
(Pre-Chorus)
Of you and me
Face your fears…
(Chorus)
You’ll find a place to go
Live in the space to be
You’ll find a place to go
Some place that you call home
One day at a time
The burden of your mind
Can only bring you peace
With every love’s embrace
(Pre-Chorus)
Of you and me
Let’s be free…
(Chorus)
You’ll find a place to go
Live in the space to be
You’ll find a place to go
Some place that you call home
[Bridge]
Own your heart
Own your heart
Further down the road
The truth will lift your load
Only when you give
You help the world to live
(Pre-Chorus)
With you and me
Just believe…
(Chorus)
You’ll find a place to go
Live in the space to be
You’ll find a place to go
Some place that you call home
(Chorus)
You’ll find a place to go
Live in the space to be
You’ll find a place to go
Some place that you call home
Sail away for a better way
For today leads tomorrow’s world
(Chorus)
Take me to a better way home
Save me from this trouble I know
Make me wings so I can fly on
Bring me everyday in every way some truth
Look around at the people’s stand
Reaching out for each other’s hands
(Chorus)
Take me to a better way home
Save me from this trouble I know
Make me wings so I can fly on
Bring me everyday in every way some truth
[Bridge]
WE ARE FREE
WE ALL DESERVE TO BE (spoken)
We come to you wanting to seek only peace
Free all these lands from holy wards
Chase all these fears away…
Everything is not a mystery
We can learn from our history
(Chorus)
Take me to a better way home
Save me from this trouble I know
Make me wings so I can fly on
Bring me everyday in every way some truth
You never showed your best
You never shared your tenderness
But I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried…
And here I am waiting for you someday
(Chorus)
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
You always looked away
You never gave me reasons to stay
So I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried…
But here I am waiting for you someday
(Chorus)
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
I never had a chance
And you didn’t even want us to dance
So I died, I died, I died inside…
But here I am waiting for you someday
(Chorus)
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
How come we can’t stop the rain?
Looking for salvation
I’ve got no place to turn
And then you call me on the telephone
“What’s wrong?” you said
“Come lay your heavy head
And tell me all the troubles on your mind”
(Chorus)
I don’t know why the world is cruel
But you’re my sunrise
I don’t know what I have to do
But you’re my sunrise
You listen to my world crumble from the inside
And then you help me put the pieces back in place
I give you everything, some you never wanted
But your smile still shines the light from heaven
(Chorus)
When those clouds hang right over me
You’re my sunrise
When it’s time to give up everything
You’re my sunrise
[Bridge]
I can’t change the color of the sky
But I see beauty in the flower of your eye
You’re my sunrise
You’re my little sunrise
Surprise, surprise…
You’re my sunrise
You’re my sunrise
You make my sunrise
You’re my sunrise
You make my sunrise
Surprise, surprise…
Can you save the world for me?
Can you save the world for me?
Can you save the world for me?
Can you save the world for me?
Can you save the world for me?
‘Cause I will save the world for you
Can you save the world for me?
‘Cause I will save the world for you
(Chorus)
Love each other
All are one
Can you save the world for me?
‘Cause I will save the world for you
Can you help the world to see?
Love is truth eternally
[Bridge]
Help me save the world
Help me save the world
Help me save the world
Help me save the world
Help me save the world
Help me save the world
(Chorus)
Love each other
All are one
(Intro)
Help me learn to see the possibility of you and me
Teach the ones who knew how to be so cool
Teach the ones who knew how to be like you
How to be so cool
How to be so cool
How to be so cool
How to be so cool…
Pick me up when people kick me down
Lift me up when skies are looking grey
Hook me up with all your love and care
Soak me up with all I have to bear
(Pre-Chorus)
If I only knew where I stood
With you then I could…
(Chorus)
Be cool
So cool…
Thinking through my actions and retorts
Faking few with all the games I play
Picture you, you’re always on my mind
Picture me, the one you left behind
(Pre-Chorus)
If I only knew where I stood
With you then I could…
(Chorus)
Be cool
So cool…
[Bridge]
So I looked away keeping each other for a rainy day
I do regret you couldn’t appease me with your lonesome ways
Be cool…
Thinking back on all the hope I had
But to you it was always just a fad
Misery can only keep a memory
When it’s you keeping me a prisoner
(Pre-Chorus)
’Cause I’ve always know where I stand
With you now I can…
Be cool
I want to be crazy, sexy cool, crazy, sexy cool
I want to be crazy, sexy cool like you
I want to be crazy, sexy cool like you
Crazy sexy cool, crazy, sexy cool
I want to be crazy, sexy cool like you
I want to be crazy, sexy cool like you
When you fall down, I will pick you up
When you fall down, I will pick you up
When you fall down, I will pick you up
When you fall down, I will pick you up
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, don’t know what to say…
Yeah, oh…
(Chorus)
It’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
When I fall down, will you pick me up?
If I fall down, will you pick me up?
When I fall down, will you pick me up?
If I fall down, will you pick me up?
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, don’t know what to say…
Yeah, oh…
(Chorus)
It’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
[Bridge]
Wish you were the one I belong to
Wish you were the one I belong to
Wish you were the one I belong to
Wish you were the one I belong to
(Chorus)
But it’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
It’s too late for goodbye
Wait a minute, wait a minute, something’s wrong…
It’s too late, it’s too late, it’s too late for goodbye
So you say
Separate ways
Another day goes by
I might find
The truth inside
Of my mind, but still…
(Chorus)
I will walk on water just to see your face again
I will walk on water just to see your face again
A tender touch
Is never much
When you’re not around
This time I see
Eternity
In my loss of you
Chorus)
But I will walk on water just to see your face again
I will walk on water just to see your face again
Yeah I will walk on water just to see your face again
Yeah I will walk on water just to see your face again
[Bridge]
Oh…yeah
Oh…yeah
Yeah ooh.
*** SADE’S “ORDINARY LOVE” IS QUOTED HERE.
I will walk, I will walk through fire and water
I will walk, I will walk through fire and water
I will walk, I will walk through fire and water
I will walk, I will walk through fire and water
For you…
From the rhythm we sing these songs of freedom
From the heavens we came along, forgetting all we know
(Chorus)
‘Cause pain is why we suffer
Shame is why we fear
Change is what we’ve got to
Lose your self control
To the beat of one drum, we march in unison
To the rhythm of the night, for love our only fight
(Chorus)
‘Cause pain is why we suffer
Shame is why we fear
Change is what we’ve got to
Lose your self control…
[Bridge]
Yeah, save someone else
Save someone else for me
For the answers we plea, we sing in unity
For eternal peace we need to be, the dance in music’s way
(Chorus)
‘Cause pain is why we suffer
Shame is why we fear
Change is what we’ve got to
Lose your self control…
There’s not a sound
The night surrounds you
What lies beneath these hungry eyes is just to meet you
And in this fire
My hands beseech you
Running wild with their desire, they learn to need you
A touch of faith
Is the brim of hope
You make the lonely child inside me hide the load
(Chorus)
I see your face and I know
Love is here dancing around you
There’s no more space we need to fill
Love is here in this garden of dreams
To feel the burn
In loss of time
Can mean to catch the fire of every passing mile
And through our roots
Connecting stories
I learn to seek your thoughts with words we only swallow
(Chorus)
Then I see your face and I know
Love is here dancing around you
There’s no more space we need to fill
Love is here
[Bridge]
In this garden where we taste our dreams come true
In this garden where the trail leads back to few
All this time it’s been about only you
My body aches
With past mistakes
But you medicate me with the beauty you embrace
(Chorus)
Then I see your face and I know
Love is here dancing around you
There’s no more space we need to fill
Love is here in this garden…
I see your face and I know
Love is here dancing around you
There’s no more space we need to fill
Love is here in this garden of dreams
People ask the question why is life so dry?
Let this groove take you on a journey to the other side
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m livin’
Livin’ for another day
People are you listening to the voice inside?
Dance all your blues away, love is in the sky tonight
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m livin’
Livin’ for another day
[Bridge]
Come on take me higher
It’s up to your desire
Groovin’ is the way to be, make you ride in style
Bring out the soul in you, put away the lonely fight
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m livin’
Livin’ for another day
Love will only free us from our state of minds
Bring out the soul in you and let it shine all through the night
(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m livin’
Livin’ for another day
[Bridge]
Come on take me higher
It’s up to your desire
Come on take me higher
It’s up to your desire
Falling, my mind is snowballing
Keeping the faith, but there’s room for disgrace
Always believing, but people deceiving me
Thriving, while people are dying
Can’t we give a little to keep the people living
What ever happened to our humanity?
(Chorus)
Save me from the catastrophe of being misled
The only chance that we can take is keeping the love high
Take me from the catastrophe of being misled
The only chance that we can take is keeping the love
Keeping the love so high
Groovin,’ are people still moving?
I’d like to see a little unity
Some people think that there’s no need to care
Loving, the way to give something
I used to be my disability
Now is the time and here is the moment see
(Chorus)
Save me from the catastrophe of being misled
The only chance that we can take is keeping the love high
Take me from the catastrophe of being misled
The only chance that we can take is keeping the love
Keeping the love so…
[Bridge]
Losing ‘cause we keep abusing in choosing
The right to infuse the flow so
Just keep the flow going on, going on
We’ve got to say it loud, We’ve got to keep it together
We’ve got to keep it together
Falling, my mind is snowballing
Keeping the faith, but there’s room for disgrace
Always believing, but people deceiving me
Thriving, while people are dying
Can’t we give a little to keep the people living
What ever happened to our humanity?
(Chorus)
Save me from the catastrophe of being misled
The only chance that we can take is keeping the love high
Take me from the catastrophe of being misled
The only chance that we can take is keeping the love
Keeping the love so high
So high…
So high…
So high, high, high…
So high
I want to make you
I want to take you
So high
So high…
So high…
So high, high, high…
So high
You make me feel so high
I want to make you so high
I want to take you so high
So high, high, high
So high
You make me feel so high
I want to make you so high
I want to take you so high
So high, high, high
So high
Got to be so high
Just lift me up so high
So high, so high, so high
(Intro to the intro)
You make me feel so beautiful
You show us new ways, celebrate new days to lift your heads
We thank you for this gift of life
Each and everyday
So lift our heads, lift our heads, lift our heads
Each and every way
(Intro)
When will all this end, suffering and such?
We take for granted the love we’ve got to give
So let’s not regress into ourselves
Just make the best of it…
Said I always want to live without regret, but I forget
I always thought time was always on my side
Guess that was always in my mind
We must learn to forget the things we expect
In order for us to evolve and respect
This gift of life is all we’ve got to see and withstand
(Pre-Chorus)
To love is life
And life is to love
Open your eyes, it’s plain to see
Be the cure instead of the disease
When you rise, when you rise…
When you rise, rise…
In my dreams I can only see what my mind sees
We can only believe what we want to believe
We must learn to forget the things we expect
In order for us to evolve and respect
This gift of life is all we’ve got to see and withstand
(Pre-Chorus)
To love is life
And life is to love
Open your eyes, it’s plain to see
Be the cure instead of the disease
When you rise, when you rise…
When you rise, rise…
(Re-intro)
When will all this end, suffering and such?
We take for granted the love we’ve got to give
So let’s not regress, but it all works out
Just make the best of it…
(Chorus)
Come on lift your head
Come on lift your head
Come on lift your head
Come on lift your head
Follow the sun
Follow the sun
Follow the sun
Follow the sun
(Chorus)
Come on lift your head
Come on lift your head
Come on lift your head
Come on lift your head
