The Power Of Love (Can Survive)
(Mike Pinder)
There were some times when we worried
Then we would laugh at ourselves
Too little money to pay so many bills
And try to put some food on the shelves

I can remember the good times
When we forgot all the bad
It wasn't easy to hang onto a dream
And make it through the trouble we had

Hey baby, take a look at us now
Our dream and our love are alive
Hey baby, take a look at just how
The power of love can survive

Now love has bound us together
That factor can't be denied
So come on to me, I am your lovin' man
I see a look of love in your eyes

You said you'd love me forever
I said a hundred and five
Now you know darlin' I'm gonna hold you to
That promise cause it keeps me alive

Hey baby, take a look at us now
Our dream and our love are alive
Hey baby, take a look at just how
The power of love can survive

Now love has bound us together
That factor can't be denied
So come on to me, I am your lovin' man
I see a look of love in your eyes

Hey baby, take a look at us now
Our dream and our love are alive
Hey baby, take a look at just how
The power of love can survive

Hey baby, take a look at us now
Our dream and our love are alive
Hey baby, take a look at just how
The power of love can survive

You Can't Take The Love Away
(Mike Pinder)
You can hang up the telephone
You can spend the night alone
Run around, try and bring me down,
But there's one thing you should know
You can't take love away
You can't take my love away
I'll love you 'til forever

You can turn down the radio
You can say it isn't so
Maybe cry, see another guy,
There's one thing you should know
You can't take love away
You can't take my love away
I'll love you 'til forever

Sometimes I wonder
When our love is not so strong
The days when things go wrong
You leave me sighing
Yet when we share our love
Together you and I
The flame of love is high
And we are flying
You can't take love away
You can't take my love away
I'll love you 'til forever

You can say you must be free
You can sail across the sea
Tell a lie, even say goodbye,
But there's one thing you should know
You can't take love away
You can't take my love away
I'll love you 'til forever

You can't take love away
You can't take my love away
No darling, I'll love you 'til forever
You can't take love away
No, no, 'cause I love you
And you can't take that away from me
I'll love you 'til forever

The Best Things In Life
(Mike Pinder)
Each time you see your baby smile
Each time you hear that someone is a mother to be
The best things in life are free

Each time you hear a waterfall
Each time you see the sunset or the fruit on a tree
The best things in life are free

The world turns around and around
The moon moves the sea
I'm thinking of you my love
Getting closer to me

Each time you hear the songbird call
Each time you taste the honey from the home of a bee
The best things in life are free

Next time you take a breath of air
Remember people everywhere will agree
The best things in life are free

The world turns around and around
The moon moves the sea
I'm thinking of you my love
Getting closer to me

The world turns around and around
The moon moves the sea
I'm thinking of you my love
Getting closer to me

Each time you hear the songbird call
Each time you taste the honey from the home of a bee
The best things in life are free

Next time you take a breath of air
Remember people everywhere will agree
The best things in life are free

The world turns around and around
The moon moves the sea
I'm thinking of you my love
Getting closer to me

Each time you see your baby smile
Each time you hear that someone is a mother to be
The best things in life are free

Next time you take a breath of air
Remember people everywhere will agree
The best things in life are free

Hurry On Home
(Mike Pinder)
I'm sitting here alone
Just singing to myself
I'm waiting by the phone
To hear your sweet voice

Though we've only been apart for an hour
It seems like an eternity
So hurry on home
And bring your love to me

The time is passing slowly
There's nothing on TV
My heart wants you to know
How much you mean to me

Though we've only been apart for an hour
It seems like an eternity
So hurry on home
And bring your love to me

From the ashes of a fire
Like a Phoenix we did rise
Now our love is so much higher
More than we had realized

From the ashes of a fire
Like a Phoenix we did rise
Now our love is so much higher
More than we had realized

I'm sitting here alone
Just singing to myself
I'm waiting by the phone
To hear your sweet voice

Though we've only been apart for an hour
It seems like an eternity
So hurry on home
And bring your love to me
Hurry on home
Bring your love to me

When You're Sleeping
(Mike Pinder)
Your daddy's going to love you every single day
Your daddy's going to hug you when you cry
There's lots of things to do
And we'll do them all with you
Together we can touch the sky

Your momma's going to love you every single day
Your momma's going to hug you when you're blue
We're going to teach you everything
You really need to know
And then it will be up to you

When you're sleeping
Count one to ten and you're dreaming
The moon's big and bright
The star's twinkle light
For you

We're gonna watch you at your work and in your play
And when you need us we'll be standing there
You're the apple in our eye
You're a lovely little guy
Thank the Lord for all this love we share

When you're sleeping
We're gonna tuck you in for save keeping
A new day's in sight
The sun brings his light
For you

When you're sleeping
We're gonna tuck you in for save keeping
A new day's in sight
The sun brings his light
For you

When you're sleeping
Count one to ten and you're dreaming
The moon's big and bright
The star's twinkle light
For you

When you're sleeping
We're gonna tuck you in for save keeping
A new day's in sight
The sun brings his light
For you

Fantasy Flight
(Mike Pinder)
It's time to turn off the light
I'm half asleep and I keep on yawning
It's time to cuddle up tight
We'll see the dawn if we stay here talking

Let's dream the rest of the night
As dreamers do when they contemplating
We'll take a fantasy flight
The fare is free and the ship is waiting

All aboard, the silver chord
The tour's about to start
See the famous asteroids
And a thousand, million stars
See the planets as they fly
Never falling from their path
Through our solar system's sky
Rock of ages is their map
Rock of ages is their map

Universal delight
The air is clear and the view breath-taking
It's such a wonderful sight
A solar flare and a moonbeam mating

Let's dream the rest of the night
As dreamers do when they come to play
We'll take a fantasy flight
The fare is free and the ship is waiting

All aboard, the silver chord
The tour's about to start
See the famous asteroids
And a thousand, million stars
See the planets as they fly
Never falling from their path
Through our solar system's sky
Rock of ages is their map
Rock of ages is their map

It's time to turn off the light
I'm half asleep and I keep on yawning
It's time to cuddle up tight
We'll see the dawn if we stay here talking

Let's dream the rest of the night
As dreamers do when they contemplating
We'll take a fantasy flight
The fare is free and the ship is waiting

All aboard, the silver chord
The tour's about to start
See the famous asteroids
And a thousand, million stars

See the planets as they fly
Never falling from their path
Through our solar system's sky
Rock of ages is their map
Rock of ages is their map

Among The Stars
(Mike Pinder)

Among the stars you and I
We learn to live the Dream
Suspended here in time and space
Projections on a screen

We move through love to reach the light
That shines within us all
The knowledge of the Universe
Live love instead of war

True freedom's spread around us
It's right here, right now, today
Humanity's forgotten how
To step back in the way

The way is dark and narrow
It climbs and then unfurls
Inner-space is where we find
Ourselves within all worlds

Upside Down
(Mike Pinder)
When your life is in confusion
And you cannot find a place where you feel at home
You feel so alone
Yet beyond this blue horizon
Lies a land of mystery where the future is grown
Including your own

When you feel your world is upside down
Just remember love can turn it around
And where ever life will lead you to
You're gonna find someone who feels like you

Everybody has a love light
Everybody has a right time
Everybody has a time to fall in love

Long before your own conception
Where there is no day or night or the pain of need
It then was agreed
That you would make a connection
An appointed rendezvous here in space and time
Through love's work sublime

When you feel your world is upside down
Just remember love can turn it around
And where ever life will lead you to
You're gonna find someone who feels like you

Everybody has a love light
Everybody has a right time
Everybody has a time to fall in love

Long before your own conception
Where there is no day or night or the pain of need
It then was agreed
That you would make a connection
An appointed rendezvous here in space and time
Through love's work sublime

When you feel your world is upside down
Just remember love can turn it around
And where ever life will lead you to
You're gonna find someone who feels like you

Everybody has a love light
Everybody has a right time
Everybody has a time to fall in love

Everybody has a love light
Everybody has a right time
Everybody has a time to fall in love

The World Today
(Mike Pinder)

I'm feeling sorry for the world today
They're making food the corporation way
Use the grain to fatten up the beef
They're starving children in the Third World streets

The sun won't shine and the rain won't rain
Can't grow the gruels if we break the chain
We're gonna have to fix this bitter cup
North wind's a blowing and the sand storm's up

Rising prices, energy crisis
We never get to make headway
Politicians, contradictions
Always seem to lead us astray

So lift yourself up to your inner star
Your love's news no matter who you are
There's a choice, we have to choose
We hear a voice, do you hear the news

People shining, Dark Age declining
Now the truth can set us free
Inner visions, not superstitions
Will bring peace and harmony
Can you see

To have love we have to give away
To have life we have to live each day
Turn a page and walk out of the dark
Into the light, see a new age start

Children shining, Dark Age declining
Now the truth can set us free
Inner visions, not superstitions
Will bring peace and harmony
Can you see

I'm feeling happy for the Earth today
She's gonna make it in her own way
A solar system full of love and grace
Her evolution to a shining place
Shining place
Human race
Shining
Shining
