What it is to be Human
Dear Steven, just a letter
To remind you that the weather
Here in England is oh so cool
Hope the winter there is not too cruel
Everyone here is doing just fine
Trina sends her love and my mother says Hi
Hope things aren’t too tough and Barbara’s Ok
James is growing stronger each and every day
Oh what it is to be, what it is to be Human
What it is to be, what it is to be loved
New York City , in a big blue sky
Kick the ball yes, James and I
Nothing more sweeter and more beautiful to see
all that spirit running wild and free
Dirty streets we walked uptown
Downtown crossing going round and round
Somehow things they’re just not the same
This life is a dark and a deadly game Oh
What it is to be , what it is to be human
What it is to be, what it is to be loved
So keep on fighting you’ve just got to believe
In all that your words they can achieve
I was a blind man but now I can see
Like a brother you gave sight to me Oh
What it is to be , what it is to be human
What it is to be , what it is to be loved

Hey Hey Hey Hey Love Will Find A Way
Sun is on the morning side
It rises from the East every day
We act as if somehow we’re here to stay
A million years from now I’m not so sure
Everything in Life will still endure
Hey Hey Hey Hey Love will find a way
We chase the same dreams constantly
Searching for the future in the past
To stay ahead we keep on running fast
The walls are closing in and I cant Breathe
Time and time again its hard to leave
Hey Hey Hey Hey Love will find a way
Making plans to change the world
Looking back oh how the time can fly
We live our life as if we’ll never die
Somehow we’’ll survive to carry on
The Memory is much brighter than the sun
Hey Hey hey Hey Love will find a way

Rising Up

Rising up
You take away the very air that I breathe
You twist my mind and I cannot believe
Turn the whole world inside upside down
I’m a fool for believing ,I’m a circus clown
Getting wise to your trick or treat
You give with one hand and I vote with my feet
And your words are cheap and you use my name
Rolling the dice in your deadly game and I’m
Rising Up , Rising up , Rising up again
Like a Flame
You say no other road there’s no turning back
And we’re all on a train on an endless track
Passing through another one horse town
Picking up speed and the bridge is down
Something in the air and I just can’t breathe
I got my ticket but I just can’t leave
And the whole of this life is a circle of fire
Burning up bright with every desire and i’m
Rising up , rising up ,rising up again
Like a flame , rising up again.

Everything Has Changed
Suddenly most everything has changed
God knows how I got to be this age
Looking back on all that has become
Oh what have I done , everything has changed
Must have been in something that I said
Could have been the small print that I guess I never read
I was never one for playing by the rules
The Gods they love such fools , everything has changed
Looking for an answer to my prayer
Talking to an empty room is anybody there
Questions raised about my sanity
I guess I couldn’t see , everything has changed
Now there ain’t no certainty no more
No,not for you and me , everything has changed
everything has changed , world is rearranged
Everything has changed.

Man Of Fire

Man Of Fire
Father am I the only one
Drawing circles round the sun
I sit here wondering
What it is I’m meant to be
When all the lunatics are free
And running rings around the moon
All the world is madness
And I can’t seem to find
A will where there’s no way
Still hoping for that day
And aye aye aye aye aye
Feels like the worlds upon my shoulder
And aye aye aye aye aye
Feeling the weight as I grow older
This life must be the only one
There’s no returning when I’m gone
So make the best of times
Live for love and love to live
Give everything that you can give
And maybe peace you’ll find
When all the world is sadness
Weighing heavy on my mind
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Still searching for that day
And aye aye aye aye aye
Feels like the worlds upon my shoulder
And aye aye aye aye aye
Feeling the weight as I grow older
Like a man of fire
Burning this old house down to the ground
Like a man of fire
Rising up from the ashes scattered around and around

Let Your Love shine On through
Was a Sunday afternoon
I was sitting in an empty room
Counting seconds at the bar
and I’m wondering where you are
And everything came oh so clear
So far away and yet so near
And all your words they come alive
How the stars they did collide
Let your love shine on through
Let it shine on everything you do
Let the whole world ring with a sound anew
Let your love shine on through
What it is to feel the love
To know there’s more than this above
And there’s a reason for your pain
All your struggle’s not in vain
And in everything that you believe
And all the memories that you leave
we paint like pictures on the wall
With songs to catch you when you fall
Let your love shine on through
Let it shine on everything you do
Let the whole world ring with a sound anew
Let your love shine on through

Glory Glory Glory
They say there comes a time , and every man’s a story
Burning up inside , reaching out for glory
Footloose on the run ,we try to touch the sun
Constantly we strive , Feeling so alive
And every breathe is sweet , from your head down to your feet
No words can tell the story..... just glory , glory , glory
Feeling like a child. everything is wonderful
So innocent inside , can you hear that thunder roar
They’re digging way down deep , I can’t get no sleep
Heavens up above , the world is filled with love
And how beautiful the sound of silence all around
No words can tell your story..... just glory , glory , glory.
Its a flame that lights the dark , creates a vital spark
Where hopes and fears begin , its the soul of man within
And where holy spirits fly , in an endless purple sky
Every picture tells a story .... just glory , glory , glory

Calling Me on

Calling Me On
There’s a heartache in my soul ,
Feeds a fire that keeps me whole
And it drives me on and on
To a place where I belong
And its calling me on
Calling me on and on
There’s a madness in the air
And a sadness I declare
On a road that’s winding down , down , down
Leads me on and on to the darker side I’ve found
And its calling me on
Calling me on and on

Nobody Love You Like I do
we go together , just like the weather
You let the sun shine through
Your my desire my whole world entire
Nobody love you like I do
Nobody Love you like I do
You are my daylight , you put the world to right
the brightest star in view
You are my nighttime always the right time
Nobody Love you like I do
Nobody love you like I do
Nobody Love you like I do
You bring me colour when I’m blue
Just like an arrow I’ll be true
Nobody Love you like I do
Nobody Love you Like I do

Perfect Heart
Every day I rewrite the book
Every night I reinvent my look
Every morning wearing something new
I will build a perfect heart
Wear these clothes the truth to hide
A fragile nature deep inside
Look for love and you will find
I will build a perfect heart for you
I will build a perfect heart for you
Every night I look up to the stars
Pray to the Gods of Venus and Mars
Singing Glory hallelujah fighting for the cause
I will build a perfect heart
Heavens gate and the worlds they collide
Oceans part in some great divide
Look for love and you will find
I will build a perfect heart for you
I will build a perfect heart for you
Every night I look up to the stars
Pray to the Gods of Venus and Mars
Singing Glory hallelujah fighting for the cause
I will build a perfect heart for you
I will build a perfect heart for you

Launch the Lifeboat
This is a love song from me to you
Happy birthday all our love is true
You drive me crazy everything you do
But we keep on holding on
Try so hard just to find my way
To make things last for maybe just one more day
You make me laugh with everything you say
I know that we’ll survive
Launch the lifeboat , brave the sea
Be my saviour , rescue me
All our dreams they could turn to dust
Fast to the rock as cling we must
Look to the shore ride on the wave
your soul to save
When the evening shadows rise and fall
When the nights are long I’m feeling oh so small
You lift me up and I feel so tall
Every day I’ll change the world for you
Launch the lifeboat , brave the sea
Be my saviour , rescue me
