1. Lesson To Be Learned
Some things are worth waiting for
I'm believing it more and more
Love for us all, love for one another
Lesson to be learned by watching our
Bridges burn
Some things are worth waiting for,
I'm believing love for one another
Lesson to be learned by watching.
Over the rivers, over the rails
Somewhere you will find strength
Along the lonesome trails
If all of the memories you keep
Of loved ones left behind
Remain forever in your mind
There's no reason to fear the open door,
Some things are worth waiting for
One thing we've learned from watching our
Bridges burn ...
There's no way to return
What on Earth are we fighting for?
Have we forgotten what love is for?
Coming together for the human race.
Leaving no one without a place.
Love for us all...love.
Some things are worth waiting for,
I'm believing it more and more
Love for us all, love for one another
Lesson to be learned by watching our
Bridges burn
Some things are worth waiting for,
I'm believing love for one another
Lesson to be learned.
2. Self Made Word
We are all part of the same soul.
No longer immune in our self made world.
The ways of old can't be undone.
The future holds the promise for everyone.
In silence our voices will remain
Only we have ourselves to blame
What we are is we will remain
The ways of old can't be undone.
No longer immune in our self made world
3. No One Really Knows
No need to run, to hide, to fear, to fly
No need to lie, to cheat
No need to deny, to change, to try
No need to fight, to die
No need to run, to hide
No need to fear, to fly
No need to cheat, to lie
No need to change
No need to try
No need to fight
No need to die
Over the oceans into the sky reaching
Beyond the stars
So endlessly we can follow our dreams
And finally see
Some say it's never too late
Others say we've sealed our fate...
No one really knows
Some believe there's nothing more
Some wait their lives for...
No one really knows
4. Walking With The Rain
Watching the rain fall to my door
Facing the sky waiting for more
Watching the night turn into day
Chasing the clouds that run away...
Waiting for hours by the phone
Watching the people leaving home
Waiting beside the open door
Racing the clock, searching for more...
Feeling the sadness in your soul
Letting emotions take their toll
Watching the rain fall door to door
Watching the rain, waiting for more...
Cause I know there's more in store
5. One Day
One day
One day we all may see
One day we all may be free
When we all join together we will find
A better way
No one counting the cost... (life taken away)
No one can ever justify the loss
One day we all may see
One day we all may be free
When we all join together we will find
A better way
One day ... one day.
6. Call
Deceiving fortune teller, misleading life guide
Seller...
Providing all you need to know.
One call read your life
One call you'll decide
Wondering what tomorrow will bring?
Wondering will there be joy or sorrow?
I can tell you which road to follow, just as
Long as you call tomorrow.
One call we will guide
One call you decide
One call read your life
One call we will guide
One call you decide
One call free your life
One call realize
One call
One call
One call
One call
7. Clemency
8. The Big Peace
Welcome to the good life.
The future is call. A new age is dawning.
As we reach for tomorrow
The road that we follow will be open.
Forever we will move together for the cause.
The tables are turning our home fires burning,
Our children are yearning living and
Learning... nothing.
Wake up to the real world.
All of us joining together we can make a
Difference for the future.
The future is calling. A new age is dawning.
As we reach for tomorrow
The road that we follow will be open.
Forever we will move together for the cause.
The tables are turning our home fires burning,
Our children are yearning living and learning,
Living and leaning... nothing.
The world is growing...
Our world is growing smaller day by day
The vision of tomorrow...
Our vision of tomorrow we don't
See the same way
And in the end we've just ourselves...
But in the end we've just ourselves to blame
If what we are remains...
If what we are is what we will remain
Perfecting the violent strain
Costly prices are paid,
Countless sacrifices are made
Consolation means nothing once
You've felt the bolt of lightning strike.
How can it be we're in dire need of
Love for all of our survival
We better get to know, getting to know one
Another we could make it.
By learning to forgive and giving all you have,
Taking time to remember...
"Ya know life's not so bad". If you're willing to
Surrender to the madness around you
No need to go down in flames.
Tears rolling down the window pane,
There's no use in holding back the rain
Cause it keeps falling down,
And you're wondering what you can do?
The tables are turning
Wake up ...
Our home fires burning
Wake up to the good life.
All of us joining together we can
Make a difference for the future
The future is calling. A new age is dawning.
As we reach for tomorrow
The road that we follow will be open.
Forever we will move together for the cause.
The tables are turning our home fires burning,
Our children are yearning
Living and learning... nothing.
Welcome to the real world.
All of us joining together we can
Make a difference for the future
The future is calling. A new age is dawning.
As we reach for tomorrow
The road that we follow will be open.
Forever we will move together for the cause.
The tables are turning our home fires burning,
Our children are yearning living and learning,
Living and learning... nothing.
The world is growing...
Our world is growing smaller day by day
The vision of tomorrow...
Our vision of tomorrow we don't see
The same way
And in the end we've just ourselves...
But in the end we've just ourselves to blame
If what we are remains...
If what we are is what we will remain
Consolation means nothing once
You've felt the bolt on lightning strike.
Now that we see we're inspired to be
Free to love, above no other
We've got the right to show,
( Welcome to the real world )
We've got to get together,
( Welcome to the good life )
Learning to forgive and giving all you have
To be willing to surrender to get on
The right track
You've got to take time to remember
"Ya know life's not so bad".
For you ...
No blood running down your window pane
But somebody's crying out in vain
For you ...
And they keep calling, haunting you
And you're wondering what you can do?
Standing at the open door afraid
To look and see
For whatever's waiting there, waiting patiently
And any road we might have chosen
Somehow eventually
Worked its way right back to where
We started off to be
Then we chose to make the change,
Started to believe
And from that moment on we wondered
How simple life could be
With all of us joined together
In spite of who we are
We shine brighter than any distant star
Standing at the edge of time
It's beautiful to see
We're part of a bigger picture,
Part of life's mystery
Standing hand in hand, undivided
We are free
We're part of "The Big Peace" ...
Finally.
