I don't know what you want from me
Or what you think a love ought to be
I want something that's open and strong
As the country this road's moving on
From the mountain to the valley
From the ocean to the alley
From the highway to the river
One emotion to deliver
One heart, one way, one love
To share but not to chain
(That's freedom)
It' a song of the heart
A race in the wind
A light in the dark
(That's freedom)
It's a reason to live
And after the rain re-kindle the spark
Let freedom ring
I don't know why it takes so long to remember what the world's doin' wrong
Never wanted to shove my plan or another who can't understand
All I want is a fast lane to where the road across this plain won't take you
I want something you understand
To make us stand proud
As nothing else can
(That's freedom)
It's a song of the heart
A race in the wind
A light in the dark
(That's freedom)
It's a reason to live
And after the rain re-kindle the spark
(That's freedom)
It's a measure of trust
When love is alive
It's tender and tough
(That's freedom)
It's all love is about
This opening up and letting out
Let freedom ring
(Guitar solo)
From the mountain to the valley
From the ocean to the alley
From the highway to the river
One emotion to deliver
One heart, one way, one love
To share but not to chain
(That's freedom)
It's a song of the heart
A race in the wind
A light in the dark
(That's freedom)
It's a reason to live
And after the rain re-kindle the spark
(That's freedom)
It's a measure of trust
When love is alive
It's tender and tough
(That's freedom)
It's all love is about
This opening up and letting out
Let freedom ring
I heard him sing when I was young
Imagine if you can
Imagine if the world was one
A brotherhood of man
I have a dream I heard him say
A dream in black and white
I have a dream
(That all men are created equal)
A dream of civil right
In days to come we'll see the sun
As more than just a star
In days to come we'll be as one
No matter where we are
I saw the words written on the wall
For the times they are a changin'
And then he told me the answer
For the answer is blowing in the wind
I saw a picture in the sky tonight
Men walking on the moon
They didn't know if it was wrong or right
It happened all too soon
In days to come we'll see the sun
As more than just a star
In days to come we'll be as one
No matter where we are
(Backing vocals solo)
I heard him sing when I was young
Imagine if you can
Imagine all the people
A brotherhood of man
In days to come we'll see the sun
As more than just a star
In days to come we'll be as one
No matter where we are
(Repeat x 1)
Got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feeling blue
It's been so long since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you
That voice
you showed me is not the one that I know
I must be strung out on what I do
Don't hang up again
There's nothing else I know how to do
But I burn
for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
I guess it feels like you're always alone
And I feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do
I burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
Took my trouble to a bar tonight
For another point of view
But there's nothing new
I'm missing you
I burn for you
What am I gonna do
Burn for you
Burn for you
I burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
What am I gonna do
I burn for you
Burn for you
Burn for you
All the world's
a stage they say
But who decides the part we play?
A mourner in the Lebanon
A logger in the Amazon
oldiers in the square of shame
Our children play in acid rain
They won't pay a martyr's bail
Blackfella in a white man's jail
See the Banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the Banners fall
The colonel wears Pierre Cardin
But clothes don't always make the man
The teacher preaches what he's told
But can the preacher save your soul?
See the Banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the Banners fall
See the Banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the Banners fall
(Backing vocals solo)
Eagles in the sea of oil
Noble men on barren soil
Children waiting in the wings
Wonder what the future brings?
See the Banners fall
Hear the future call
Time to start again
They're dancing on the wall
Can you hear them call
See the Banners fall
(Repeat x 3)
You can laugh, you think it's funny
Am I a fool for taking the longest way to reach for the sky?
I have my hopes, you have your business
Don't you see it's somebody else's dream that you're working for
So, what do you see?
Just an ordinary man
What sets us apart is this fire in my heart
That says, I can do anything
I lay awake, feel the distance
Sometimes I wonder can I be the only one who's feeling this way?
So, what do you see?
Just an ordinary man
What sets us apart is this fire in my heart
I can do anything
I can do anything
So you can talk, or you can listen
You can walk away
We'll meet again
Then you'll understand
(Nylon String Guitar solo)
So where you walk, I may not follow
I'm someone else, I'm going to only way - the right way for me
So, what do you see?
Just an ordinary man
What sets us apart is this fire in my heart
I can do anything
(Repeat x 3)
I've got a question, can you answer me?
Do you sleep when you're alone?
Hey, all you captain's of industry
You line your pockets but you poison me
You're sitting on the edge of an emergency
Tell me how you sleep at night?
Poison in the water
Breaking down the chain
For all our sons and daughters
Something's got to change
You work behind your veil of secrecy
You got the power on your side
I've got a question, will you answer me?
Where will you run, where will you hide?
You're sitting on the edge of an emergency
Staring at a loaded gun
Poison in the water
Breaking down the chain
For all our sons and daughters
Something's got to change
(Guitar solo)
Hey all you short sighted businessmen
There's more to this than meets the eye
You keep on taking, we pay the price
Just take a look up at the sky
We're staring at the face of an emergency
You're looking out for number one
Poison in the water
Breaking down the chain
For all our sons and daughters
Something's got to change
(Repeat x 2)
One shot in the revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree to proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One kid that needs some action
One link in a chain reaction
I've got a fever, a fever in my soul
No, I don't want to die before I get old
It took some time just to bring me here
Nobody's gonna put me down
Do I make myself clear?
One shot in the revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree to proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One kid that needs some action
One link in a chain reaction
I've got trouble, trouble in my life
And I've been living on the edge of a knife
But I don't intend to let you down
I'm gonna give you love
Before I hit the ground
One cruel and callous lover
One blow below the belt
One chance without another
One heart too cool to melt
One link in a chain reaction
One link in a chain reaction
(Harmonica solo)
One shot in the revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small and bitter
One tree to proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One link in a chain reaction
One link in a chain reaction
(Repeat x 1)
Something wrong for something right
There's trouble in the air tonight
From the dark into the light
Change is in the air tonight
And I'm searching through the years to find the answer
Now it seems within our line of sight
In your hands
In your hands
The freedom that you want is in your hands
Reaching for another life
They're walking on the wire tonight
Caught between the wrong or right
Does it matter, anyway?
They've been searching for the answer
Still searching for the answer
It's in your hands
It's in your hands
The freedom that you want is in your hands
It's in your hands
It's in your hands
The freedom that you want is in your hands
(Guitar solo)
In your hands
In your hands
The freedom that you want is in your hands
It's in your hands
It's in your hands
The freedom that you want is in your hands
(Repeat x 3)
I'm looking forward to seeing you smile
We've been strangers, we've been lost for awhile
A new day coming, a change at last
All our problems fade away in the past
New hope, new way
We start today
There's a new day coming
A new day coming
A new day coming our way
Stormy weather, when things got rough
Empty promise, we've had enough
Looking down the road I see
It's the future, the way it's gonna be/p>
We're on our way again
This time I know
There's a new day coming
A new day coming
A new day coming our way
There's a new day coming
A new day coming
A new day coming our way
(Acoustic & Electric Guitar solo)
We're back on our feet again
This time I know
There's a new day coming
A new day coming
A new day coming our way
The tale is told of a mighty land
Great tempest ocean, shifting sand
Of an ancient lore, in the ancient right
Race as one in tribal might
After an age of the harmony
Came a reign based on greed
They say that all roads lead to Rome
But now it's changing
(Now the time has come)
Now it's changing
Now the time has come
(Backing vocals solo)
So spare your heart, bare your breast
For the light that fades into the west
Once more shall rise as glory dawns
And now it's changing
Now the time has come
Now it's changing
Now the time has come
Now it's changing, changing
Now the time has come
If you want to feed all the children
Then start by feeding one
And if you want to find a mountain
To build your dreams upon
You need love - the heart to care
Give me strength - the nerve to dare
It's gonna be great when we get there
Take the first step, the hardest to take
Breaking away
Take the first step, whatever it takes
All the way
You're already there
If you wanna change the system
You better build a better one
You're gonna meet resistance
The time will come
You need hope - the will to learn
Don't give up - the tide will turn
It's gonna be great when we get there
Take the first step, the hardest to take
Breaking away
The first step, whatever it takes
All the way
Take the first step, the hardest to take
Breaking away
The first step, whatever it takes
All the way
You're already there
(Guitar solo)
It's gonna be great when we get there
Take the first step, the hardest to take
Breaking away
The first step, whatever it takes
All the way
The first step, the hardest to take
Breaking away
Take the first step, whatever it takes
All the way
You're already there
(Repeat x 2)
As the clock winds down on another day
Worked your hands to the bone
You know no other way
You're just working all night, sleeping all day
The time of your life just gets taken away
Time, time, time and money
Slip away from me into the air
Time, time and money
It's a mystery but it's everywhere
>Well there's no way around it
You can't live without it
You think about it - money
It's the bread on the table
It's the car in the drive
It's the clothes on your baby
It keeps you alive
>Time, time, time and money
Slip away from me into the air
Time, time and money
It's a mystery but it's everywhere
(Piano solo)
>Well there's no way around it
You can't live without it
You think about it - money
Time, time and money
Slip away from me into the air
Time, time and money
It's a mystery but it's everywhere
Time and money, time and money
It's a mystery but it's everywhere
Time and money, time and money, time and money
Slip away from me into the air
