I HEARD IT
(Justin Hayward)
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A LONELY HIGHWAY
AS THE SUN WENT DOWN
I HEARD A VOICE RIGHT BESIDE ME SAYING
WHY DON'T YOU TURN AROUND
WHY DON'T YOU STOP - FEEL THE WONDER
LISTEN TO THE SOUND
WELL I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THE BELL AT MIDNIGHT
ON THE STILL NIGHT AIR
IT SETS YOU DREAMING OF THE STRANGEST JOURNEY
ACROSS THE GREAT SOMEWHERE
THEN YOU START THE BRAVE ADVENTURE
DREAMS WITHOUT A CARE
WELL I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
LIKE LEAVES BORNE ON THE WIND
OUR WORDS WILL FADE AND DIE
ONLY TO RETURN
AS NEW LIFE BY AND BY
THE PASSIONS THAT WE FEEL
LIKE LOVERS WILD AND FREE
ARE FOOTSTEPS ON THE SAND
HOLDING BACK THE MIGHTY SEA
THERE'S A PLACE - A SECRET GARDEN
AND WHEN THE DAY IS DONE
WE LIE AMONG THE GRASS AND FLOWERS
UNDERNEATH THE SUN
AS WE LOOK UP THE SKY IS TURNING
BUT WITH THE EARTH WE'RE ONE
WELL I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
I HEARD IT - I HEARD IT
THE PASSIONS THAT WE FEEL
LIKE LOVERS WILD AND FREE
ARE FOOTSTEPS ON THE SAND
HOLDING BACK THE MIGHTY SEA
THERE'S A VOICE - THAT CALLS US ONWARDS
DOWN THE LONELY STREET
AND WHEN WE TREAD THE PATH NO LONGER
THE ClRCLE IS COMPLETE
A MILLION SOULS SCREAM IN ANGUISH
AND OTHERS REST IN SLEEP
BROKEN DREAM
(Justin Hayward)
ONE MORE ILLUSION SHATTERED
ONE MORE BROKEN DREAM
OH THAT THE MORNING BRINGS THE SUN
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN I COULD BOUNCE RIGHT BACK AGAIN
SEE HOW THE TEARS ROLL DOWN
LIKE SWEET SUMMER RAIN
WHERE DOES IT LEAVE ME NOW
I FIND MYSELF SO FREE AGAIN
EVEN THE SMALLEST TRACES
OF YOUR SWEET PERFUME
OPEN THE FLOOD GATES AND I M HELPLESS
NOW AS THE MOONLIGHT SHADOWS
CAST ACROSS MY ROOM
ONLY THE WHISPERED WORDS
ARE HEARD IN THE NIGHT
ONLY A SILENT PRAYER
I LOVE YOU STILL
I ALWAYS WILL
OUT OF THE DARK I STUMBLED
INTO THE LIGHT
ONLY MY FEAR HAS TUMBLED
I THINK I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT I WOULD RUN TO YOU
SOMEWHERE THERE'S CHILDREN PLAYING
SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY
RUNNING WITH OPEN ARMS TO GREET ME
OVER THE HILL THE SUNSET
DIES AND FADES AWAY
I TURN AND I CLOSE THE DOOR
WITH ONE LAST GOODBYE
I WILL RETURN NO MORE
I'LL TAKE MY HEART AND LET IT FLY
THE PROMISED LAND
(Phil Palmer and Paul Bliss)
THEY CAME FROM NOWHERE, WITH NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
THEY CAME WITH NOTHING BUT POCKETS FULL OF DREAMS
THEY CAME IN HOPE, LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
THEY BROUGHT THEIR FAITH, BELIEVING IN THEIR HEARTS
THEY BROUGHT THEIR CHILDREN, SEARCHING FOR A NEW START
THEY CAME LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
AND ALL THE RUMOURS SAID IT WAS HEAVEN THERE
AND ALL THE SIGNS WERE POINTING TO A NEW WORLD
SOMEWAY SOMEHOW THERE'S GOT TO BE... A PLACE FOR US,
SOMEWHERE... THERE'S GOT TO BE
A BETTER WAY, A NEW BEGINNING, A SECOND CHANCE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
EQUALITY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
A BETTER LIFE, A BRIGHTER FUTURE, THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
FOR YOU AND ME, IT'S GOING TO BE... FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
THROUGH THE AGES, ALL THROUGH HISTORY
THEY BRAVED THE DESERTS, SAILED THE RAGING SEA
AND LEFT THEIR HOMES, LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
THEY BROUGHT THEIR CULTURE, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
ALL THEY WANTED WAS A REASON TO EXIST
AND STILL THEY COME, LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
AND ALL THE RUMOURS SAID IT WAS HEAVEN THERE
AND ALL THE SIGNS WERE POINTING TO A NEW WORLD
SOMEWAY SOMEHOW THERE S GOT TO BE... A PLACE FOR US
SOMEWHERE... THERE'S GOT TO BE
A BETTER WAY, A NEW BEGINNING, A SECOND CHANCE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
EQUALITY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
A BETTER LIFE, A BRIGHTER FUTURE, THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
FOR YOU AND ME, IT'S GOING TO BE... FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
(Justin Hayward)
YOU SAY TO ME - WHY CAN'T IT BE
JUST LIKE IT WAS ONCE BEFORE
WELL YOU LEAD THE WAY AND I'LL FIND THE TREE
YOU CATCH THE LEAVES AS THEY FALL
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST
SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE .
SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING
PROMISING A BETTER DAY
SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY
IF WE WERE FREE - TO DO AS WE PLEASE
WHAT WOULD WE CHANGE - YOU AND I
TO HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT
TO LIVE UNDER BRIGHT BLUE BLUE SKY
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE - THE TIME'S NOT PAST
DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AND EVEN THOUGH I TELL MYSELF - ALL IS LOST
BUT SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SPARK OF HOPE
SOMEHOW THE WORLD KEEPS TURNING
PROMISING A BETTER DAY
SOMEWHERE THE SPARK IS BURNING - AWAY
AS WE LOOK TO THE HORIZON
WAY OUT ON THE SEA
WE SEE THE SUN STILL RISING
JUST FOR YOU AND ME
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG - LIFE WAS SO STRANGE
SO COMPLICATED WE WOULD CRY
BUT WHEN WE GROW OLD
WILL MYSTERY HOLD US BOTH IN ITS SPELL AS TIME GOES BY
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT'S NOT TOO LATE
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
(Phil Palmer and Paul Bliss)
LITTLE BROTHER'S GOT A HABIT
THAT HE THINKS HE'S GOT UNDER CONTROL
AND HE'S SELLING ALL OUR LOVE
AND BEST WISHES AS THE HUNGER GROWS
LIVING BY THE SCRIPTURE ON THE SUBWAY WALLS
HE WANT TO BE A REBEL BUT HE CAN'T FIND A CAUSE
HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS TO GET AWAY
LITTLE SISTER'S GETTING SERIOUS
WITH A FELLA NEARLY TWICE HER AGE
AND SHE'S AIMING TO MOVE IN WITH HIM
AS SOON AS THEY CAN FIND A PLACE
THERE'S NO GETTING THROUGH TO HER - THERE'S NO OTHER WAY
YOU CAN'T LEARN FROM MISTAKES THAT SOMEBODY ELSE MADE
SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
ALL SHE EVER WANTED WAS TO GET AWAY
CAUGHT IN THE VOID OF NOHOPE AND NO CHOICE
IT'S A NOBODY WIN SITUATION
WHAT CAN THEY DO IT'S A CATCH 22
IT'S A BREAKDOWN IN COMMUNICATION
MUM AND DAD ARE SO CONFUSED
LITTLE WONDER THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
LITTLE WONDER THERE'S A WIND OF CHANGE
BRLOWING THROUGH THIS LAND
NOBODY'S GUILTY - IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES
BUT WE WON'T SEE THE FUTURE TILL WE OPEN OUR EYES
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
WE ALL NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
ALL WE EVER WANTED WAS TO GET AWAY
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
(Justin Hayward)
I TOOK A WALK
DOWN BY THE PRISON WALL
I DIDN'T KNOW
I COULDN'T SEE
THE SIDE OF THE WALL
I NEEDED TO BE
LOOKED AT THE SKY
LOOKED AT THE CLOUDS
STILL ROLLING BY
WORSHIPPED THE SUN
GIVING IT'S LIFE
TO EVERYONE
YEAH... I WATCHED THE CLOUDS ROLL BY
'COS WE ARE ALL EQUAL UNDERNEATH THE SUN
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
I TOOK A RIDE
OVER THE OCEAN WIDE
I DIDN'T KNOW
I COULDN'T SEE
WHO I COULD TRUST
OR WHO TRUSTED ME
I TRAVELLED THE EARTH
TRYING TO FIND
THE GOOD AND THE KIND
I HAD TO CHOOSE
IF I SHOULD WIN
OR IF I SHOULD LOSE
YEAH... I HAD TO CHOOSE THE WAY
'COS WE ARE ALL EQUAL UNDERNEATH THE SUN
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THE WAY OF THE WORLD
THAT'S THE WAY...
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLD
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE
(Dennis Lambert)
THIS TIME I'MNOT GONNA GO SO CRAZY
I'M NOT GONNA LET IT FAZE ME
I'M BUILDING MY RESISTANCE
BOUND TO KEEP MY DISTANCE
SLOWLY, DETERMINED TO TAKE IT SLOWLY
REFUSING TO LET IT THROW ME
FEELING EVERY FEELING
STARING AT THE CEILING
AND IF IT'S REAL, A HEART WILL KNOW
ALL THE TIME
AND COME THE SPRING, IT WILL GROW
OR DIE UPON THE VINE
BUT IF IT'S LOVE, LOVE WILL COME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I DO BELIEVE IT NOW
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE
THIS TIME I'M NOT GOING TO STOKE THE FIRE
I'M NOT GOING TO WALK THE WIRE
OH HEART YOU'VE LEARNED YOUR LESSON
LOVE IS NOT OBSESSSION
EASY, I SWEAR THAT I'LL TAKE IT EASY
AND PASSION YOU WON'T DECEIVE ME
I'LL HEAR THE MUSIC PLAYING
HEAR THE SONGBIRD SAYING
AND IF IT'S REAL, A HEART WILL KNOW
ALL THE TIME
AND COME THE SPRING, IT WILL GROW
OR DIE UPON THE VINE
BUT IF IT'S LOVE, LOVE WILL COME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I DO BELIEVE IT NOW
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE
AND IF IT'S REAL, I WILL KNOW
KNOW THIS TIME
AND COME THE SPRING, IT WILL GROW
OR DIE UPON THE VINE
BUT IF IT'S LOVE, LOVE WILL COME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR
I DO BELIEVE IT NOW
SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE
TROUBADOUR
(Justin Hayward)
I WAS ONLY A LITTLE BOY WHEN; HEARD THE CALL
LIKE A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS, THAT CALLS TO US ALL
SO I TOOK TO THE GIPSY LIFE, IN THE CITY OF LOVE
AND I WALKED WITH THE TROUBADOURS
AND FLEW WITH THE DOVES
IN THE CITY OF LOVE
IN THE GARDEN OF PARADISE, I HEARD A VOICE SING
CAN STILL FEEL THE THRILL OF IT, THE CHILLS IT WOULD BRING
FAR AWAY IN THE WESTERN SKY, OVER THE SEA
THERE'S A LAND THAT WE DREAM ABOUT, PEACEFUL AND FREE
WAITING FOR ME
HOLD MY HAND, LET ME TAKE YOU THERE
LET'S GO WALKING IN THE MORNING
AS TIME GOES BY, LOVE WILL WASH US CLEAN
LET LOVE BRING TO US OUR FREEDOM
AND WE WILL SING OF THE HEROES
AND FLY ON THE BREEZE
LOVE WITH THE LOVERS OF THE WORLD
OH OH OH... WE'LL BE FREE
IN THE DARK OF THE MYSTIC NIGHT, MUSIC IS BORN
IN THE HANDS OF THE TROUBADOUR, THE PIPER OF DAWN
AND IT'S HEARD OF A FOREIGN SHORE, OVER THE SEA
IN THE LAND THAT WE DREAM ABOUT, PEACEFUL AND FREE
WAITING FOR ME
HOLD MY HAND, LET ME TAKE YOU THERE
LET'S GO WALKING IN THE MORNING
AS TIME GOES BY, LOVE WILL WASH US CLEAN
LET LOVE BRING TO US OUR FREEDOM
AND WE WILL SING OF THE HEROES
AND FLY ON THE BREEZE
LOVE WITH THE LOVERS OF THE WORLD
OH OH OH... WE'LL BE FREE
SHAME
(Justin Hayward)
EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE OUR SHAME
EVERYWHERE I GO ALL I CAN SEE IS PAIN
I SEE IT ON THE PAVEMENTS IT'S LYING IN THE STREET
I SEE IT ON THE FACES OF THE PEOPLE I DON'T MEET
EVERYWHERE I GO I HEAR THE SOUND
CRYING IN MY HEAD IT JUST GOES ROUND AND ROUND
I HEAR IT ON THE AIRWAVES, IT'S COMING DOWN THE WIRE
IT'S STARTING TO CONSUME US LIKE A FIRE
BUT I'M ONLY DREAMING, AS YOU CAN SEE
I DON'T EXPECT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME
THE ROAD IS LONELY, I DON'T COMPLAIN
IT'S SUCH A SHAME
EVERYWHERE I GO I FEEL THE LOVE
WASHING OVER ME, I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH
I HEAR IT IN THE MUSIC, THAT'S COMING DOWN THROUGH ME
I KNOW THERE'S LOVE BETWEEN US, IF WE ONLY SET IT FREE
EVERYWHERE I GO I FEEL THE JOY
HOLD IT IN YOUR HEART, DON'T LET IT BE DESTROYED
'COS ALL WE NEED IS FREEDOM, ALL WE ASK IS PEACE
ALL WE ASK IS NO-ONE ON THEIR KNEES
BUT I'M ONLY DREAMING, AS YOU CAN SEE
I DON'T EXPECT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME
THE ROAD IS LONELY, I DON'T COMPLAIN
IT'S SUCH A SHAME
'COS ALL WE NEED IS FREEDOM, ALL WE ASK IS PEACE
ALL WE ASK IS NO-ONE ON THEIR KNEES
BUT I'M ONLY DREAMING, AS YOU CAN SEE
I DON T EXPECT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ME
THE ROAD IS LONELY, I DON'T COMPLAIN
IT'S SUCH A SHAME
BILLY
(Justin Hayward)
BILLY LEFT HOME ONE MORNING, HE WALKED RIGHT OUT THE
DOOR
HE SAID GOODBYE TO HIS FORMER LIFE, AND HE NEVER CAME
BACK NO MORE
OH BILLY... THERE'S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
OH BILLY... THERE'S MADNESS IN YOUR EYES
HE TOOK HIS FAVOURITE HANDGUN, WITH HIS RIFLE HE FELT
FREE
HE CLEANED THEM ALL THE NIGHT BEFORE, HE WAS ARMED AS
HE COULD BE
OH BILLY... THERE S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
OH BILLY... THERE'S SADNESS IN YOUR EYES
'COS IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHERE THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO CAN REACH OUT, TO THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
WHEN ONLY PEACE COMES, AT THE END OF A GUN
WHOA.. OH
HE FOUND THE TALLEST BUILDING, LIKE A BIRD'S NEST IN THE
SKY
HE SHED A TEAR AS HE TOOK HIS AIM, AT THE PEOPLE PASSING
BY
OH BILLY... THERE'S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
OH BILLY... THERE'S SADNESS IN YOUR EYES
WELL IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHERE THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO CAN REACH OUT, TO THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
WHEN ONLY PEACE COMES, AT THE END OF A GUN
WHOA... OH
BEFORE HE PULLED THE TRIGGER, HE KNELT AS IF TO PRAY
AND AT THE TOP OF THE CHURCH HE WILL NEVER BE FOUND
SINCE HE TOOK HIS LIFE THAT DAY
OH BILLY... THERE'S ANGER IN YOUR HEART
AH BILLY... THERE'S SADNESS IN YOUR EYES
'COS IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHERE THERE'S NO ONE
WHO CAN REACH OUT, TO THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
WHEN ONLY PEACE COMES, AT THE END OF A GUN
YES IT'S A SAD WORLD, WHEN THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO CAN HOLD YOU WHEN YOU JUST NEED TO CRY
AND IT'S A SAD SAD WORLD WHEN THERE'S NO-ONE
WHO WOULD CARE IF, IF YOU LIVE OR YOU DIE
AND IT'S A SAD WORLD, SUCH A SAD SAD WORLD
IT'S A SAD WORLD
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
(Justin Hayward and Mickey Feat)
LIKE THE CRASHING OF A WAVE
ON THE SHORES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
WE'RE ALIVE AND
WE'RE AWAKE TO THE WORLD
AND WITH THE GIFT OF LOVE WE'RE BLESSED
'COS WE CAN BE
YES, WE CAN BE
WE CAN BE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE
OR THE TURNING OF A PAGE
COMES THE MOMENT WHEN
OUR TIME HAS ARRIVED
WE CAN NEVER BE THE SAME
WE CAN BE
YES, WE CAN BE
WE CAN BE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
AND ALL I KNOW
IS WE'RE STILL CLIMBING UP THAT HILL
AND ALL WE NEED TO SUSTAIN US
IS LOVE OF LOVE
THE LIGHT OF LIFE
AND THE FAITH TO KNOW WE CAN HEAL
LIKE CHILDREN
THROUGH THE VIOLENCE AND THE RAGE
BY THE GRACE OF LOVE BE STILL
AND THE SPIRIT THAT BREAKS FREE FROM THE CAGE
IS THE ONE THEY CANNOT KILL
WE CAN BE
YES, WE CAN BE
WE CAN BE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
CHILDREN OF PARADISE
