    1. The Calling

      Feel the calling of a miracle
      In the presence of the word.
      Now we hold the right to rearrange
      How the stories can be heard.

      In the beginning is the future,
      And the future is at hand;
      I'll be calling voices of Africa
      Be the rhythm to the plan.

      From the Congo to Lenasia
      Be the writing on the wall.
      I'll be calling the colors of India
      See the Asian life explode.

      Head in to the headlight.
      Don't turn from the rain.
      There's a fire raging somewhere near,
      Like a longtime friend who's
      Seen it darker than ebony.
      Take off on the turnpike
      ( Asking for the first call )
      Give me more of the same
      ( Asking for a song )
      There's a fire burning in my heart again.

      I'll be calling the dragons of China;
      See the dancers of the Nile.
      See the wings of change are on display
      This revelation mine.

      Feel the calling of a miracle
      In the presence of the word.
      Head in to the headlight.
      Don't turn from the rain.
      There's a fire raging somewhere near,
      Like a longtime friend who's
      Seen it darker than ebony.
      Take off on the turnpike
      ( Asking for the first call )
      Give me more of the same
      ( Asking for a song )
      There's a fire burning in my heart again.

      Feel the calling of a miracle,
      The revelation mine.

    2. I Am Waiting

      Am I waking to this magic
      Am I seeing, all is human,
      Human after all...

      I wanna be inside your heart
      Are you ready
      I wanna love forever
      Are you thinking
      I wanna be inside your heart
      What I'm thinking
      I wanna know you're with me.

      Highways, starways, many ways
      To be open tonight.
      High time, look inside your life.
      I am waiting.

      I am waiting; are you ready?
      I am waiting; can you hear me?
      Can you hear me?

      I happened in the water.
      The heaven will fall.
      The break in the water.
      The secret birth.

      Said she loves me; I believe her.
      Waited lifetimes, say this to you.

      I wanna be inside your heart
      Are you ready
      I wanna love forever
      Are you thinking
      I wanna be inside your heart
      What I'm thinking
      I wanna know you're with me.

      Highways, starways, many ways
      To be open tonight.
      High time, look inside your life.
      I am waiting.
      Say you need me, I'm yours.
      Say you need me, just because.

      ( It's our freedom ... )
      It's our freedom, hear me now.
      We are made to be here now.
      We'll be waiting for the word
      As the healing of the world.
      Make me promises, to be true,
      All my life my world is you.

      I am waiting; are you ready ?
      Are you ready ?
      I am waiting; can you hear me ?
      Can you hear me ?

    3. Real Love

      Get the fire, as the flame it burns,
      Get the wind as it slowly turns.
      Get the earth as it circles by,
      Get the sky see creation fly.

      This point of living;
      This point of giving;
      This chance of living,
      Has got to be known.

      Get the fire, as the flame it burns,
      Get the wind as it slowly turns.
      Get the earth...
      Get the sky...

      Far away, in the depths of Hawking's mind
      To the animal, primalistic grind,
      You bring me reason, a simple fact of life.
      ( Bring me reason ... )
      You don't say you're sorry...

      Call this real love
      Activiates this mission
      To be on the same timeline.
      Call this free love
      Get a ticket on the master plan.
      On the freedom climb.

      Get the fire, as the flame it burns,
      Get the wind as it slowly turns.
      Get the earth...
      Get the sky...

      This point of living;
      This point of giving;
      This chance of living
      Far away, in the depths of Hawking's mind
      To the animal, the primalistic grind,
      You bring me reason, a simple fact of life.
      You don't say you're sorry...
      Call this free love
      Activiates this mission
      To be on the same timeline.
      Call this free love
      Get a ticket on the master plan.
      On the freedom climb.

      Call this free love
      You can activate this message
      On the concourse of your fine mind.
      Call this real love
      Get off those chains,
      Get off those chains.
      Get off those changes coming to you.

    4. State Of Play

      You can hear the siren screaming,
      Take me to the promised land;
      See the intervention
      Take you higher and higher.
      See we are the giving world,
      We are responsible,
      We're not about to break-

      It's just a state of play
      It's just a state of play

      This is the revolution,
      Coming with the giving world
      No need to wait for your
      Appointment is made.
      No need to ask for help,
      It's in the love we breathe
      Dancing in the new design

      It's just a state of play
      It's just a state of play

      Secret needing,
      From this love I'm feeding
      High time flying,
      From your love I'm feeding
      High time flying,
      Monumental reaching to god love
      Secret needing,
      All I really want to know right now...
      The state of play
      Are you looking at it
      Is it looking at you.

      It's just a state of play
      It's just a state of play

      No point in kidding,
      Let the children split the atom-
      A firm believer this
      Appointment with love.
      All those who look for glory,
      They see the flags are flying,
      They hear the sirn screaming-
      It's just a state of play
      It's just a state of play
      Secret needing,
      From this love I'm feeding
      High time, flying,
      All I really want to know,
      Right now, right now...
      ( I want to be inside your heart )
      I want to know right now,
      Is this the state of play.
      Are you looking at it.

    5. Walls

      Don't you know it's my way out
      To be on my own.
      When I feel like crying out
      I do it best alone.
      Can you give me love and
      Protection to shield my heart.
      All the fear I feel from doubt
      Is tearing me apart.

      I wanna love, I wanna give,
      I want to find another way to live.
      Another shout, another cry,
      And the walls come tumbling down.

      Don't you know there's no way out;
      Your pain's your own,
      And the more we scream and shout
      The more we feel alone.
      I can feel my anger rising-
      Am I to blame?
      And I'm not gonna keep it inside me.
      Do you feel the same?

      I wanna love, I wanna give,
      I want to find another way to live.
      Another shout, another cry,
      And the walls come tumbling down.
      And I'm calling you.

    6. Where Will You Be

      Where will you be when you're not here.
      How many lives in this earth time.
      You are my soul and this you are.
      Two sould intertwined,
      That's what we are.

      We can, we walk, hand in hand,
      All the life,
      Be the one, everything to me;
      You, I am dreaming.
      We have lived and known before,
      I feel it.

      Where will you lie.

      When will I know when you are gone.
      Where I be, and I will miss you.
      We are this love in this life,
      Two sould intertwined like once before.
      See this meeting, hand in hand,
      Every life,
      Be the one, everything to me;
      You are my feeling.

      No need to fear this love of life,
      We are the truth of every earth life.
      No need to fear this life at all,
      We are the sun and everlasting life.
      Where will you be hearing this song.
      How many lives in this earth time.
      You are my soul and this you are.
      You are my soul and this you are.

      Where will you lie

    7. Endless Dream

      a. Silent Spring

        ( Instrumental )

      b. Talk

        Hold your head up high you know
        You've come a long way, a long way
        Tainted as a fugitive with nothing left to say
        Temptation may come, hope your vision doesn't stray
        In the name of god you may be forced away

        Moving forward to the only place you know
        Side tracked by some indiscretion,
        Changing as you go
        Temptation may come, hope your
        Conscience doesn't hide
        The longest trip you'll take is inside

        It's the last time,
        Telling myself everything
        Call me over, than bring me back again
        It's the last chance, Telling myself, that I believe
        Your forever, is mine, and all I need

        Now ! Life ! Tell me now, in your arms
        All I really need, is you by my side
        I sing this to you, all the world and all it is
        I bring this to you, this gift of love

        And the world turns...
        And the world turns...
        Time tells all we know...
        We look to tin jesus on the radio
        Pledge me what you got...
        I'll give you eternal resting spot
        How intense I pray depends on how much you pay.

        It's the last time, getting it, this life
        First calling, in a silent spring
        It's the first time, getting it, this life
        First calling, in a silent spring
        Fear! Strikes!-Deeper than-visionary
        Screams and tears, never justify this love

        Talk! Talk! listening
        Like the first words ever to reach out
        Talk ! Talk !
        Like the first sounds, in a silent spring
        Talk ! Talk ! listening
        Like the first words ever to reach out to you
        Talk ! Talk !
        Like the first sound, you start to sing

        So take your time
        Look round and see
        The most in time,
        Is where you're meant to be
        For they talk too loud,
        And take the hope and peace
        From your heart
        We call this surrender
        Slowly towards the north,
        And this endless dream,
        Giving ourselves everything
        We're deserving,
        We're gonna bring it back again
        It's the last time,
        Telling myself everything
        It's the last time,
        Bring me back, bring me back again
        When the world brings you down
        You can search you inside
        For the love you will find
        ( Bring me back home )
        When the world brings you down
        You can search you inside
        When the world brings you down
        I've waited so long
        When the world brings you down
        You gotta play this living game
        When the world brings you down

      c. Endless Dream

        So take your time
        Look round and see
        The most in time,
        Is where you're meant to be
        For you are light
        Inside your dreams
        For you will find,
        That it's something
        That touches me.
