1. Themes:
(i) Sound
(ii) Second Attention
Be gone you ever piercing
Power Play machine
Cutting our musical solidarity
For those who would break the windows
Of our true reflections
And perceptions of the world
For I am out of thee with a vengeance'
Do not play me
You will never hear this
You will never hear this
Only feel it
For too long I have danced
To your destiny
No longer fill my head
With empty dreams
Of reality and gold
Your reality
For I am away this side away to the second attention
I can never ever play it or sing it
For it can never be shouted down
Or played ever stronger
As I feel this never ending
Pattern of nature
I don't believe in Devils
I don't believe in Demons
I only believe in you
(iii) Soul Warrior
2. Fist Of Fire
Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
With your daggers of the spirit
Let the dagger run
With the Fist of Fire
Be the master now
As the darkness of ages past
Riches silver and gold
In the liquid sea
Cast a net can you catch
So you can't see me
As in death you can climb
Higher thru the sky
Show your wings
Surely you can fly
Fly away past the guardian to Kingdom Come
See the miracle of life
Disappear it's gone
Go carry your silver ships of light
Go carry your silver ships of light
Go carry your silver ships of life
Go carry your silver ships of life
Go carry your silver ships of life
Keep the fire in your hand
It won't let you drown
As you fly with your wings
Won't come falling down
See the flower of youth
Disappear on high
As you gather your true wings
About to fly
To be ready
To be strong
Make it run
This righteous
This wrong
This right
This love
This is how nature controls
The way of all things
This is how the angels sing
Not afraid
No, not afraid
Not afraid of this or that
Not afraid
Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
With the ghost
And the spirit
Let the fire run
Thru the darkest age
We can surely fly
Thru the darkest age
With the Fist of Fire
Thru the darkest age
With the Fist of Fire
3. Brother Of Mine
(i) The Big Dream
Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
With your daggers of the spirit
Let the dagger run
With the Fist of Fire
Be the master now
As the darkness of ages past
Riches silver and gold
In the liquid sea
Cast a net can you catch
So you can't see me
As in death you can climb
Higher thru the sky
Show your wings
Surely you can fly
Fly away past the guardian to Kingdom Come
See the miracle of life
Disappear it's gone
Go carry your silver ships of light
Go carry your silver ships of light
Go carry your silver ships of life
Go carry your silver ships of life
Go carry your silver ships of life
Keep the fire in your hand
It won't let you drown
As you fly with your wings
Won't come falling down
See the flower of youth
Disappear on high
As you gather your true wings
About to fly
To be ready
To be strong
Make it run
This righteous
This wrong
This right
This love
This is how nature controls
The way of all things
This is how the angels sing
Not afraid
No, not afraid
Not afraid of this or that
Not afraid
Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
With the ghost
And the spirit
Let the fire run
Thru the darkest age
We can surely fly
Thru the darkest age
With the Fist of Fire
Thru the darkest age
With the Fist of Fire
(ii) Nothing Can Come Between us
Took me by surprise
It opened up my eyes
I can't believe we're ready to
Run another
Run another
Run another
Fourth Dimension Dream
Always the way it seems
Just hear the voice
In all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
You're a brother of mine
We hold our hands together
Be the sunshine
Nothing can come between us
You're a sister of time
Just hear the voice
Sing all the songs of the earth
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
So give it all the love you have
Never be afraid to show your heart
So giving all the love you have
There is a special reason to come true
So giving all the love you have
Never be afraid to show your heart
So giving all the love you have
There is a special reason
There is a special reason this time
(iii) Long Lost Brother Of Mine
Seeing my life for the first time
Long lost brother of mine
Living my life in the big dream
Long lost brother of mine
Walking away from illusion
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing me fly like an eagle
Long lost brother of mine
Watching me walk in the full moon
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time
Long lost brother of mine
Waking this dream everlasting
So it's there
Putting one into one special reason
So it's there Putting one into one
One another. Sure can. Sure can
This is a further dimension
Coming at us for the very first time
It's the second attention
Realising it all of the time
Re-defining this long lost passion
For the living we're in
This will be the first of many
I be telling you
Long lost brother of mine
Walking the dream evolution
Long lost brother of mine
Singing the sisters of freedom
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing the fathers of wisdom
Long lost brother of mine
Seeing my life for the first time
So it's there, but to want it to one special reason
Yes it's there, but to want it to want one another
So it's there, but to want it to one special reason
Yes it's there, you can see what you want to see
Long lost brother of mine
4. Birthright
In 1954 the British Government, in order to maintain the balance of power between East and West,
exploded their first atom bomb at Woomera. They failed to contact all of the Aborigine peoples at the time.
The Aborigines still call this 'the day of the cloud'.
A new born land
Dreaming by the sky
The scent of colours
In the flowers
Believe it's small
In many ways
It holds the key
That divides the super powers
This road is never lonely
To ENGLAND they are tied
They were blasted by the Silver Cloud
They were blasted to the wall alive
This place, this place ain't big enough for stars and stripes
Counting out the statesmen
Bungling one by one
Spelling out this segregation
So the catchword be
Looking after number one
They release the fear inside
Are human after all
So begins our dream time
They hunted like the dinosaur
We the pure
They the savage innocent
How we crush our existence after all
Come on
For without them
We are lonely
This England we are blind
Like all the Empires crumble
Will surely change the tide
This place ain't big enough for red and white
This place ain't big enough for stars and stripes
This place - This place
This place is theirs, by their birthright
This place
The sun gives better reasons
United we are blind
To deliver our existence
Keep it up
Keep it up
This human tide, give it some
We can break the ties
Of recent changes
Know the ones who
Hold the key
Singing out the congregation
We are them and they are we
This place ain't big enough for red and white
This place ain't big enough for stars and stripes
This place
This place
This place is theirs by their birthright
5. The Meeting
Surely I could tell
When I sleep tonight
A dream will call
And raise its head in majesty
Dividing all my energy
To the meeting of your love
Where from whence it came
Like a singer searching for a song
I try to reach where you belong
As I will be the song for you
I will be your servant child
No, oh no I cannot be deceived
No, oh no There's something
That I feel There's something that I feel inside
Surely I could tell
If you ask me Lord
To board the train
My life my love would be the same
As I would be the one for you
In the meeting of your love
In the meeting of your love
6. Quartet:
(i) I Wanna Learn
I wanna learn more about you
We haven't spoke in quite a while
And all of the dreams that come true
So surprising how it catches you
I wanna learn more about me
I've been sinking like a setting stone
And now the dreams are realising it's true
That's why I wanna learn about you
I wanna know more about life
And things that can fly in between my mind
I wanna change all that I dream about
My waking and my so many lives, oh my
I wanna learn more about you
We haven't spoke in quite a while
Just let me, let me come through
I'll give you my heart, my life for life
(ii) She Gives Me Love
She give me love
When love had gone away
When the pressure came so fast
She give me love
Long distance runaround
And in between the pressure
I was summoned
How did we dance on the south side of the sky
We saw the flags flying on the moon
And thru the gates of delirium so fast
Believing in the light was a beginning
Only to believe in you
Only to believe in you
She give me love
When I was losing fast
I was awakened by the dream
She was the love for me
The first and last
And all that I remembered
Was the roundabout only to believe in you
(iii) Who Was The First
Who was the first to show
The moon at night
Is never so far away
We are the first to define the
Languages of love
Who was the first to learn
The universal consciousness divine
We are the first to discover
This day in our time
And when the history of science
Re-writes itself each day
We are living in days of wonder Simon says
So wonderful true believer
So wonderful I'm alive
Just take this world of life
Each day at a time
So up this universal
Combination of the word
I'll try so hard to fulfill my belief
Take me I'm a love you
I'm a love you
No change in my mind
I'll walk with you to the end of the earth
I wanna leam more about you
We haven't spoke in quite a while
I wanna leam more about me
We haven't spoke in quite a while
So up this universal
Combination of the word
So up this universal
Word of love
Take me I'm a love you
I'm a want you
No need to change my mind
I'll walk with you to the end of the earth
I wanna learn more about you
We haven't spoke in quite a while
I wanna learn more about me
(iv) I'm Alive
Only when you looked
Did I realise
Someone broke into your life
How we hurt and never show it
Come into my world hold me In your arms
There's a mystery to the touch
How it heals so
When we're broken
I believe that all the fear you've had
Can gently fly away
We experience we hold together
Lost in one embrace
We will love forever ( this eternity )
For in ( this ) love. I'm alive. I'm alive
Only when you spoke
Did I realise
How you understand this life
How you help me
With your eyesight
Only when we touched
Did it all come true
How you understand my life
How you helped me with your light
7. Teakbois ( The Life And Times Of Bobby Dread )
Jump out this next world
Is gone overground
That sky is ecstasy dancin'
My child my woman
My daughter my son
Together planning to party
Just wait for me
Out on the street
Teakbois is everywhere
Dancing with you
We're coming thru
Somehow we'll all be there
This time is surely
Come once and for all
We're waited so now
We are ready
Be quick be ready
Be sure and be smart
No need the energy wasted
I've dreamed of music
That comes from the heart
As tho' the eagle has landed
Just wait for me
Out in the street
Teakbois is everywhere
Dancing with you
We're coming thru
Everyone will be there
She smiles my mind
Is just blown I can't stop
No time is better than now
I wake up everyday
Before the sun is coming up
Bobby Dread and the kool running
The fish to catch
The sea to swim
They say I gotta life
To live
Bobby Dread and the kool running
My music is my only witness
To my very soul
Bobby Dread and the kool running
So when you need me
All you have to do is help me
Lose control
Bobby Dread and the kool running
They say the world's a stage
So let me play for you and you and you
Bobby Dread and the kool running
It's all I ever in my life
I really wanted
To sing and do
Bobby Dread and the kool running
We form a group a simple name
A secret harmony like
Bobby Dread and the kool running
We write our songs
We symphonise
Some people say they like us
Bobby Dread and the kool running
This summer you couldn't get it
8. Order Of The Universe:
(i) Order Theme
(ii) Rock Gives Courage
You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You don't need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river
You don't need any money to deserve all your friends
It's just the love you give them
You don't need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river
And you're there on your own and you're lost in your life
And you think there's someone's gonna make you feel so good
You better lose control you better watch your step
For there's something inside you, they call it
Rock gives courage, a way to win the trust
Rock gives lovers a way to win or bust
You don't need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river
Rock gives courage, a way to win the trust Rock gives lovers a way to win or bust
Rock gives sisters a way to speak their mind Without this gift of rock and roll We'd all be wasting time
(iii) It's So Hard To Grow
They say we've got it made, they say we gotta light
Where is the man with all the great directions
They say we gotta win, they say we gotta learn
But in the end it's just the same damn reason
They say you've gotta run, they say you gotta jump
Don't really need to know which way we're going
They say we gotta push, they say we gotta shout
Is this the way to keep our bonfires burning
Sick feeling, sick reasoning, sick challenge you
la la la la
You can't imagine it, how hard it is to grow
You can't imagine it, can you imagine
The order of the universe
You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
Everything about you inside your eyes
You don't need anybody in your family ties
You crossed over the river
You don't need any money to deserve all your friends
It's just the love you give 'em
You don't need anybody in this complicated life
You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river
You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river
(iv) The Univ&nbserse
The order of the universe
The order of the universe
9. Let's Pretend
Let us be together, let's pretend that we
Are free, let's all be where the angels
Find us, we all have the key
Shall we seal the truth of life
Shall we light the heavens
We're so good at finding pleasure
As to what we are, and how we fit
Together
Let us sing the song it is
Let the sound of all belief
Let's all find that space in life
To follow in between
It's something that I feel
To pour upon my soul
Countenance of love
For one n' all
To know there's so many ways
The force of nature prevails
I lay down, I lay down and I pray
Let's get our hearts together
And as before, and like before
We'll do again
To know there's so many ways
The force of nature prevails
I lay down, I lay down and I pray
Let's get our hearts together
As before, and like before
We'll do again
Let's get our hearts together
As before, and like before
We'll do again
Let's get our hearts together
As before, and like before
We'll do again
Do again . . .
