Days Of Wonder
(Squire/Sherwood)
Oohh, oohh...
I can't wait for another day
Now that I've turned a new corner in life
Movin' through this change of season
It's the same old song, for a different reason
Looking back on the years gone by
Into the past for a moment in time
Moving in that rolling thunder
The memories that drag you under
Deeper into the days of wonder
Dreams dissolve without a sound
Love can turn the world around
Or leave us torn assunder
These are the days, the days of wonder
After all is said and done
That's all we need to know
Holding on to the reins of emotion
Waiting to turn a new page in our lives
Driven by a sense of freedom
That are given to the laws of reason [And give into the laws of reason]
Can we see this could go on forever
Now that we drink from the waters of life
Waking to the change of season
Turn the tide and start believing
Dreams dissolve without a sound
Love can turn the world around
Or leave us torn assunder
These are the days, the days of wonder
After all is said and done
That's all we need to know
Oohh, oohh...
Dreams dissolve without a sound
Love can turn the world around
Or leave us torn assunder
These are the days, the days of wonder
After all is said and done
That's all we need to know
I can't wait for another day
Now we take the time to show
Movin' through this change of seasons
Give the love we have to grow
Looking back on the years gone by
Take the time to let love show
Moving in like rolling thunder
Take the time to say hello.
2. Light In My Life
(Squire/Sherwood)
Setting out on the open road
Leaving your life behind
Where you're going you just don't know
But you know you're sure to find
It's true what they say
It's darkest before the dawn
Hey Hey You
You are the light in my life
The only one I need to get by
You are the only one who understands
When life seems like a lonely walk
Down a long and narrow hall
You carry on with no end in sight [You carry on when no end's in sight]
Searchin' for a sign
But the feeling cannot be denied anymore [And the feelings inside cannot be denied anymore...]
Hey Hey You
You are the light in my life
Now that you're standing here by my side
The only one who understands
Hey Hey You
You give me all of your love
You give me all I need to get by
The only one
Hey Hey You
Understand me
Do you understand me?
Hey Hey You
You are the light in my life
The only one I need to get by
You give me all of your love
Now that you're standing here by my side
You are the light in my life
The only one I need to get by
You are the only one
You are the only one
Hey Hey You
Hey Hey
3. Violet Purple Rose
(Squire/Sherwood/Stevens)
Amber sunrise
Calming blue sky
White cloud
Fade in to gray
Topaz twilight
Black dead of night
Silver star
Light the way
Scarlet sea flowing
Evergreen growing
Orange horizon
Violet Purple Rose
Emerald moonshine
Golden skyline
Cascading yellow sand
Crimson firelight
Brown wood burn bright
See through the turquoise haze
Indigo river rolling
Burgundy mountain grow [grove]
Orange horizon
Violet Purple Rose
Amber sunrise Emerald moon shine
Calming Blue sky Golden skyline
Topaz twilight Blue Turquoise haze
Orange Horizon
Violet Purple Rose
Indigo river rolling
Burgundy mountain grow
Orange horizon
Violet Purple Rose
4. No Rhyme
(Squire/Sherwood)
You can make the best of moments in life
You can take the path that leads from darkness
Can you feel the power of the sunlight?
Our future is full of hope and promise
When you've given up feeling lost in the maze
Wondering, wonder when you'll find your way home
If ever
We can never stop the hands of time
On Earth as it is in Heaven
No need to fear the other side [Never fear the other side]
You have always wondered what it feels like
You have always known the truth that's in sight
Can you feel the hour is approaching?
When you add it up, we are locked in the cage
All prisoners, lost until we're found
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Stop the hands of time
On Earth as it is in Heaven
No need to fear the other side
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Stop the hands of time
On Earth as it is in Heaven
No need to fear the other side
No reason
No rhyme
No reason
No rhyme
On Earth as it is in Heaven
No reason
No rhyme
On Earth
5. Lonesome Trail
(Squire/Sherwood)
Riding the wind
We drift along
Moving across the desert land
Into the night
Shadows dissolve
Nomads wandering through the
Sands of space and time
The spirit of adventure
Raised within our hearts
The time is now
The time has come
To journey farther from the sun
Let's not hold back
We've just begun
To understand our destiny
We can carry on forever
Driven by the spirit in our hearts
Leaving the world behind
We travel on through silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
Never to return
One million miles of silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
For distant lands
We set our course
To sail across the ocean
We've come so far
We can't turn back
It's a test of our devotion
As we race into the future
Expectations grow within our hearts
We rode the storm
We've braved the seas
This passes from our history
Into the skies
The great beyond
To reach escape velocity
We can carry on forever
Driven by the hope within our hearts
Leaving the world behind
We travel on through silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
Never to return
One million miles of silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
We can carry on forever
Share the universe together
Is this the life that we chose for ourselves
Travel along the lonesome trail [Traveling on the Lonesome Trail]
The lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
Leaving the world behind
We travel on through silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
The lonesome trail
6. The More We Live
(Squire/Sherwood)
You and I can change the world
The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know
From this moment on we share the world
The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow
The spirit of imagination can lead us through the dark
The more we see, the more we try, the more we show
The evidence of our confusion, life has left its mark
The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide
As we walk into tomorrow
Turning away from the path we know
Holding the future with our hands
We carry the weight of the world we go [we grow]
It's up to you and I we hold the key, we hold the answers
All our thoughts of doubt and fear are leaving one by one
The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know
For each of us the road is clear, life has just begun
The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow
It's time to reach the goals we've set for ourselves
The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide
All we need is just to believe in ourselves
We face the truth, we see it clear, with no disguise
Cast away our doubt and sorrow
Turning away from the past we know
The universe at our command
Conserving the fate of the world we grow
Together you and I we hold the key to all the answers
Let go
Let go
Let go
7. Love Conquers All
(Squire/Sherwood)
Love can seem such a mystery
Confusing though it may be
It's the one thing that we all need most
Love can make your world go round
Sometimes it can bring you down
Yet there's no way to avoid the fall
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love will finally bring us all
Together eventually
There's only one road for us all
Releasing our fear of the unknown
Believing in what could be
Now it's time for each of us to answer the call
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Sometimes love can be so true
Sometimes it's running out on you
No matter how hard you try
You can't avoid the fall
Only love conquers all
We can solve the mystery
Believe in what could be
Now its time for each of us
To answer the call
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all
We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all
We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all
We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all
8. You're The Reason
(Squire/Sherwood)
You mean so much to me
I believe this love was meant to be
My heart belongs to only you
Let these words of love speak so true
I've got to find my way
I've got to find my way back to you
To let you know that I would give
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live
I'll be the one you can turn to
When the world comes down on you
Pay no mind to what people have say [said]
Because this love will never fade away
I've got to find my way
(Somehow I've got to find)
I've got to find my way back to you
(I've come so far to let you know)
To let you know that I would give
(I gave my love, all I have)
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live
(You're the reason)
(Only there's only you)
Only you can take me
(to be taking me back)
To the place we were before
(there's so much we've got to see)
We've got to see this love through
You're the reason I live
I live for the moments we share together
(You're the reason I live)
Need to have you back where you belong
I've got to find some way
I've got to find my way back to you
To let you know that I would give
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live
(Only there's only you)
Only you can take me
(to be taking me back)
To the place we were before
(there's so much we've got to see)
We've got to see this love through
(Somehow I've got to find)
I've got to find my way back to you
(I've come so far to let you know)
To let you know that I would give
(I gave my love, all I have)
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live
9. Watching The World
(Squire/Sherwood)
One day we all may see a new sunrise
One day we all may learn to comprimise
Standing on common ground
Building our relations for tomorrow
One day we all may feel the changing tide
One day the earth may no longer provide [One day the Earth may wander, divide]
Can we continue to live and deny [Can we continue to live and to die]
Innocent people who don't have the right [ride]
Leave it to decide the policy makers of tomorrow [Weavers who decide the policy makers of tomorrow]
How long can we hold burmles(?) at bay [baubles]
Keep turning away
Pay no mind to the lives thrown away
Keep fanning the flames
Are we chained to a dark world turning around
Are we enslaved by our own evolution
Watching the world
Watching our world running down
Are we amazed by our own contributions
Watching the world
Watching our world running down
One day we all may open up our eyes
One day we'll stop long enough to realize
One world is all that we have to divide
We're holding on to sacred ground [Holding our own sacred ground]
Building our defenses for tomorrow
One day peace will inspire every race
One day everything falls into place
Leave us to decide the policy shapers of tomorrow [policy shakers of tomorrow]
Are we enslaved by our own evolution
Watching the world
Watching our world running down
Are we amazed by our own contributions
Watching the world
Watching our world running down
Yeah, yeah, yeah....
Are we amazed by our own evolution
Watching the world
Watching our world running down
10. Red Light Ahead
(Squire/Sherwood)
You fought for your freedom
You understood the pain
Tell me was it worth it
Would you do it all again
You tried to save your honor
While fighting through the trials
And all along the madness
Still drives the people wild
Danger, there's a red light ahead
Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead
You thought we could make it
Now you know it isn't so
What we never realized
Was how far we had to go
We tried to make our fortunes
Work to ? us for a while [worked wonders for a while]
It seems so very clever
But no one raised a smile
Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead
Look out there's a danger, there's a red light ahead
You walk through the city
No shelter from the rain
Wand'rin' through the sea of faces
The ranks of the insane [the wrecks of the insane]
You thought you could fake it
Now you know that wasn't sound
Sensing something's just not right
You stop to look around
Danger, there's a red light ahead
Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead
Danger, there's a red light ahead
red light ahead
Look out
Look out
Look out....
11. Open Your Eyes
(Squire/Sherwood)
Ahhh....
We carry on in the same old way
No lesson learned from yesterday
Talk of changes lost in pages of paper work [words]
How can we refuse to see
What could be our final destiny
Still we go on from day to day knowing what could be true
Wish I knew, oh
Wish I knew
We've cast the world, we've set the stage
For what could be the darkest age
Short exchanges from perfect strangers we'll never know
Wish we knew
It's time to face reality
Questioning the powers that be
Are we too confused to see
Wish I knew
Wish I knew, oh
Wish I knew
Turn, turn to love (?)
Love for another
Turn, turn to love
Love one another
Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come
Open your eyes
Wish I knew
It's time to face reality
Things aren't what they used to be
What I see in you you see in me
Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew, oh
Wish I knew
Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come
Open your eyes
Open your mind
12. Man In The Moon
(Squire/Sherwood)
I am the man in the moon
And I hope to shine upon you very soon
Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight
I am the man
I am the man in the moon.
Silently revolving wandering through the heavens above
On my own
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know
I am a creature of the night
And I hope to come and shed a little light
Although the universe our teacher I remain the central feature [Although the Universal Teacher]
I am the man
I am the man in the moon.
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know
Silently revolving wandering through the heavens above
On my own
I am the man in the moon (round and round)
And I hope to shine upon you very soon (round and round I go)
Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight
I am the man
I am the man in the moon.
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know (I am the man)
Round and round and round I go (Man in the moon)
When I stop no one will know
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know
13. Say Goodbye
(Squire/Sherwood)
Have I wasted a lifetime waiting for the sun
Thinking I was the only one
I watched as all my dreams came crashing down
I believe it's time for me to say
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Seems like now more than ever
We need to find some way
To guide our endangered world
To brighter days
The future of the earth depends on you and I
To live or die we must decide (Say goodbye)
You'll never see the tears I cry
In sadness now I say goodbye Oh
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Oh
Say goodbye
To think that we can last forever going on this way
Burning down the very key to our survival
To see the forest falling like a rain [To see the forest fall in land of grain]
To believe again in our revival
The less we fail the more we try
Abandon fear, say goodbye
Where will we be tomorrow
So many roads to follow
From the mountains to the sea
Hear the voice of reason calling for you
Save the children save the old
Stop the world from growing colder
We're reaching out for you (?) now say goodbye [We're reaching out for you - don't Say Goodbye]
Like a teardrop in the ocean
We dissolve in our emotion
Release the pain within our heart
Say goodbye
Watching as all our dreams materialize
Before our eyes
Now we don't have to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Now we don't have to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye to all the anger
All the vengeance that we hold inside
Say goodbye
With open eyes look to the future [Lift all the lies and confusion]
Say goodbye
