She Shines

Oh watching her from day to day
She knows how to live
The glint in her eye is more than
The gifts I have to give
She touches everything, you know
You know, she touches everything
Oh, people look at her and see
The way it oughta be
What would you say?
Reaching for the smoke in the air today
What would you say?
I wonder if she knows it's true
I wonder if she knows it's true
She shines on my friend
She shines like the sun will never set
The days go on and on with her
The days go on and on with her
And she shines on again
Her spark never ends
Her smile, her divine energy, it radiates
Don't you know?
She shines
No moments wasted in her company
No regrets at all
Oh, ten minutes in her company
Leaves me standing tall
She touches everything, you know
You know, she touches everything
There is an answer to this mystery
Reason to be
What would you say?
Reaching for the smoke in the air today
What would you say?
I wonder if she knows it's true
I wonder if she knows it's true
She shines on my friend
She shines like the sun will never set
The days go on and on with her
The days go on and on with her
And she shines on again
Her spark never ends
Her smile, her divine energy, it radiates
Don't you know?
She shines
She shines
She shines
She shines
I would never deny that
She's so much more that me
Oh, anyone can see that
She helps me to believe
She touches everything, you know
You know, she touches everything
Her trust in life, her faith in life
It drops me to my knees
What would you say?
Reaching for the smoke in the air today
What would you say?
We're closer to the gods with her
We're closer to the gods with her
She shines on my friend
She shines like the sun will never set
The days go on and on with her
The days go on and on with her
And she shines on again
Her spark never ends
Her smile, her divine energy, it radiates
Don't you know?
She shines on my friend
She shines like the sun will never set
Days go on and on with her
The days go on and on with her
And she shines on again
Her spark never ends
Her smile, her divine energy, it radiates
Don't you know?
She shines
SHE SHINES

Un-Same
03:28
|

The minds don't click
The minds are closed
No things that are
Just things supposed
No change allowed
Not in this place
It's sad as hell
It's such a waste
Not familiar
Not meant to be
Look harder
We could see that
Untrodden ground
We'll trod upon
It's not yet late
It's only dawn
I could never be the one
To turn it around
I hope you're not
The same as me
Here's the church
The steeple
Look inside
Where are the people?
Wrong way down the one-way
Breaking on the runway
I could never be the one
To turn it around
But I don't
I don't forget that
I am free
Sometimes I feel the anger
Rise inside me
I don't know what it means
I hope you're not
The same as me
Fortune smiles on
Those who pay
Top prices every day
Wrecking down
The side walls
Headed for
A free fall
Have your say
Well, be my guest
Earning more and
Caring less
And in the church
The steeple
Look at all
The lonely people
I could never be the one
To turn it around
But I don't
I don't forget that
I am free
Sometimes I feel the anger
Rise inside me
I don't know what it means
I hope you're not
The same as me

Shotgun Seat (Not Again)

SHOTGUN SEAT (NOT AGAIN) - OVERDUE REFRAIN
Say goodbye to the times that you knew
The times you knew THE TRUTH
Well I thought I knew it too
Forever after the days have changed
They’ll act in a different way
You’ll see it again today
People ‘round me just act so strange
Believing the words they say
The future it dies today
How can you cross that path again?
As you ventured into that road
You were flattened like a toad
Your reality takes a twist
Endless lines that just get missed
Lies that just get kissed
It’s in your eyes
You will be fooled again
Don’t come to me when your whole world blows
I’ll remember in days of old
How high you held your nose
Morality can be judged
By the few who act for love
Well they speak for the Lord above
I’ll turn my ear as they say what’s right
The answers for urban blight
Who to sleep with tonight
It’s in your eyes
You will be fooled again
Oh, you will be fooled again
No, not again
And if you say to me He is the one, the one to lead us all
And then you say to me that I’m not free to act as I please at all
And then you say to me you Know the way to truly be holy
And you say to me that I’m A fool, only a fool would disagree
Riding high in the shotgun seat
Waving into the street
From sea to shining sea
Can’t you see that we’re not the same
Don’t look for one to blame
I never wanted the things you say
Forget that vision of one and all
Our diversity makes us strong
And I’m not gonna play along
It’s in your eyes
You will be fooled again
Oh, you will be fooled again
No, not again
I will turn and say that No one man could possibly be that right
I will stand and say that My mind is certainly my might
I will shout and say that I know me and my God knows me
I will scream and say Let people think, let people be, let them be
No, not again
Not again
No, not again
Not again

The Hand of Fate
04:33
|
|||
The air I breathe is cold and clear
The dream I see, already here
Seven Sails upon the sea
Ways to get from you to me
Love is found, the tale untold
Never let the dream be sold
You know it can't be sold
The hand of fate reaches far
Making us to who we are
It makes us who we are
It makes us who we are
GUITAR BREAK
It makes us who we are
It makes us who we are
And it goes on and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on and on
The world will keep what it owns
We'll have half the riches and twice the home
And you know that you are my home
You know that you are home
The path ahead is open wide
Let us see what we can find
We'll find it side by side

Speaking in Silence
03:26

Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking of the ones you could not save
Speaking as the night slips away
Speaking in silence from the grave
Somewhere we got lost along the way
Somewhere we got lost along the way
Lost as the night slips away
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking of the ones you could not save
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking of the ones you could not save
Speaking in silence from the grave
Sometimes there's a need to be afraid
Sometimes there's a need to be afraid
Afraid as the night slips away
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking of the ones you could not save
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking in silence from the grave
Speaking of the ones you could not save
Speaking in silence from the grave
