There will come a time you have to walk a line
And get yourself straight
Can’t live inside or change your mind
Or sit around and wait
Sometimes you just can’t choose
There will come a time when you will find
The merits of your faith
When all the things you thought you knew
Will all come to waste
Sometimes you just can’t choose
Sometimes you can only lose
There will come a time when you’re resigned
To the hands of fate
A situation you can’t deny
From which you can’t escape
Sometimes there are no clues
Sometimes you can only lose

When it’s time I’ll show myself
I’ll show myself to you
I’ll break the clouds away
And bring you into the blue
I will have a song for you
That will shine like the sun
You’ll forget the wasted years
And all the pain
There will be no more hopeless tears
For you to cry again
You will see your love return
And it will stay for evermore
(Your soul reborn)

The pounding in your head
Beats louder than your heart
It’s now your main pulse
And it’s breaking things apart
Floating in the dark
Your world’s in notion
It’s inside the light
A thousand questions
In air less flight
You ask yourself who?
You ask yourself when?
Looking for a beginning
And looking for an end
Time and time again
You find yourself adrift
Wrapped inside your skin
Staring into the abyss
You have to watch out for the devil mind

What you’ve got, you don’t want to lose
And what you don’t have gives you the blues
you will never be satisfied
Even when time is not on your side
Always looking for something new
But never looking inside of you
Even when your body has grown tired
You keep on chasing the same desires
What ya gonna do?
Hey! What ya gonna do?
Now the coast is clear
And the sea waits there
To take the plunge,
To lay yourself bare.
To never look back
And never to care
For your name and your story.
Even the signatures
On the heavenly mountain
Written by the greatest men,
Are erased and written again,
The Power and The Glory
For your name and your story.

His eyes are dim
No light within
How much longer
Must we suffer him?
Oh leave us Mister
Let us begin
We want to live
We want to sing
Your little prayers
You know by heart
Do you really think
They are the words of God?
We were free before you came around
You silly
Hurtful
Man
But what you preach
And what you do
Are two things so different
And you have poisoned us with fear and guilt
Only prisons you have built
You silly man
Hurtful man

It’s so wonderful inside
Everything has passed me by
I’m not who I was before
It’s so wonderful, inside
It’s so wonderful outside
Now you have lit up my mind
There are things I never saw
It’s so wonderful, outside
so wonderful to feel
so wonderful to hear
so wonderful to see
so wonderful to be
It’s so wonderful in dreams
Everything has passed me by
I’m not who I was before
It’s so wonderful, inside
It’s so wonderful in time
To let your soul run free
To see things changing in the light
It’s so wonderful, in time
It’s so wonderful outside
Now you have lit up my mind
There are things I never saw
It’s so wonderful, outside

If only I could hold on tightly to the reigns
Control my mind and focus on my aims
If I had patience and no doubts
If I could drive my demons out
If a storm could blow my blues away
I could start again,
Start all over
I only remember things that break apart
I always forget what fills my heart
I always forget that you are there
If a storm could blow my blues away
I could start again,
Start all over
If I had patience and no doubts
If I could drive my demons out
Maybe then I would be somewhere

When I hold you in my arms
All my troubles go away
I I forget this cold, cold place
And think of only now
And though we know it’s hard, we’ll find our way
Looking at the winter sun
Melt the snow away
There is nothing to hold us back
The road is far and wide
We will make loving tracks
And though we know it’s hard, we’ll find our way
We’ll find a way

Born with a heart of compassion
With a gentle mind
Born to ease the suffering
Born to be kind
Born to live together
Born to reconcile
Born to see the other
As an extension of yourself
There’s nothing more you need to know
From this premise love will grow
So let everything else go…
Born with the gift of perception
Born with an inner light
Born to experience
The wonders of this life
There’s nothing more you need to know
And from this premise love will grow
So let everything else go…
There’s nothing more you need to know

What’s going on?
What’s happening?
Why are your walls so paper thin
To let them in
And take everything?
They know where you’re going
They know where you’ve been
They know everything you’ve heard
And everything you’ve seen
It’s lonely this winter
And I feel like the tree up there on the hill
Old and naked without shelter
Empty and still
your head in a spin
too many things
Through the back door
Through the back door
What’s going on?
What’s happening?
They know where you’re going
They know where you’ve been

I recognise the door
I have been here before
I recognise the door
It takes me to someone
Someone who shows me how to love
Who shows me how to see
The light that shines in everyone
I said goodbye to love and song
Goodbye to being young
I have been here before
But I left and closed the door
For a place cold and empty
And O, she takes me by the hand
Back to the pure and simple land
Someone who shows me how to love
Who shows me how to see
The light that shines in everyone
