Reap the Wild Wind
|
|
Reap the wild wind A finger points to show a scene (Take my hand, take my hand) Another face where mine had been (Take my hand, take my hand) Another footstep where I once walked (Take my hand) Take it all You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and send you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind A footprint haunts an empty floor (Take my hand, take my hand) A fading coat that I once wore (Take my hand, take my hand) Oh, desolation where I once lived I have seen in times gone by I have felt a different shadow on the wall A stranglehold on a certain feeling You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and send you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind You take my hand and give me your friendship I'll take my time and send you my slow reply Give me an inch and I'll make the best of it Take all you want and leave all the rest to die Reap the wild wind |

Serenade
|
|
Serenade, in rhythm and swing Serenade, the gift that we bring Serenade, youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts Dance a wild dance, be torn apart Voices ringing in their heads Their crashing hands in time In sequence and in rhyme The chant of a thousand-fold The song of a million strong Echoes their perfect praise Serenade, in rhythm and swing Serenade, the gift that we bring Serenade, youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts Dance a wild dance, be torn apart From the mouths of babes and fools Hunted melodies With gracefulness and ease Compose their gifted words Orchestrate their moves Echo the perfect praise Serenade Serenade, in rhythm and swing Serenade, the gift that we bring Serenade, youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts Dance a wild dance, be torn apart Prophets tell the tale The legend and the lies The fable and the rhymes The chant of a thousand-fold The song of a billion strong Echoes the perfect praise Serenade Serenade, in rhythm and swing Serenade, the gift that we bring Serenade, youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts Dance a wild dance, be torn apart In rhythm and swing The gift that we bring Youth runs wild with the beat in their hearts Dance the wild dance, be torn apart Serenade, in rhythm and swing Serenade, the gift that we bring |

Mine for Life
|
|
A life as a stranger Hands through a wire Forbidden desires Are mine for life Looking from a spiral staircase At a man with a suitcase As he shades his eyes Watching from a stained glass shelter He bides his time and thinks There must be more to life than this A life as a stranger Hands through a wire Forbidden desires Are mine for life The poet reads his words out loud To a make-believe crowd In the quiet of his room Careful where the tears are falling He closed the book and cried There must be more to love than this See the boy on the walkway Where the young have their own say And it screams from the wall He's writing for the hundredth time there I hate it all but There must be more to hate than this A life as a stranger Hands through a wire Forbidden desires Are mine for life |

Hymn
|
|
Give us this day all that you showed me The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Give us this day all that you showed me The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Give me all the story book told me The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes And they said that in our time All that's good will fall from grace Even saints would turn their face In our time And they told us that in our days Different words said in different ways Have other meaning from he who says In our time Give us this day all that you showed me The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Give me all the story book told me The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes And they said that in our time We would reap from their legacy We would learn from what they had seen In our time And they told us that in our days We would know what was high on high We would follow and not defy In our time Give us this day all that you showed me The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Give me all the story book told me The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes Faithless in faith We must behold the things we see Give us this day all that you showed me The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come Give me all the story book told me The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes |

Visions in Blue
|
|
Face in the window in the night Caught for a second by the light Ashes of memories still aglow (Only for you) Portraits and pictures you once saw Visions in blue Read while the letters still remain Sip from the wine of youth again Oaths made in silence still return (Only for you) Cast like a shroud your clutching arm Visions in blue Catch aimless smiles from passers-by Blistered and broken in reply Breath seems to mist the hazy view (Only for you) Tears coat your lifeless eyes with dew Visions in blue Visions in blue Ashes of memories still aglow Portraits and pictures you once saw Face in the window in the night Caught for a second by the light Ashes of memories still aglow (Only for you) Portraits and pictures you once saw Visions in blue |

When the Scream Subsides
|
|
(And we talked) Just the two of us (All the time) Nothing serious (We pretend) Time is on our side ('Til the end) When the scream subsides Yes, we had it all, had the key gripped in our hands We could see the fall as a martyr understands When the chorus calls there's no room for hope inside Lose it all when the scream subsides (And we talked) Just the two of us (All the time) Nothing serious (We pretend) Time is on our side ('Til the end) When the scream subsides Yes, we took the role of the lovers and the friends And we played the parts 'til the words came to an end But the tongues were tied in the passion and the pride Wasted all when the scream subsides (And we talked) Just the two of us (All the time) Nothing serious (We pretend) Time is on our side ('Til the end) When the scream subsides |

We Came to Dance
|
|
We came to dance Making moves from a passion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time Standing as the parade goes passing by I hear a voice around me cry Like the sound of distant drums Rejected and alone A heart without a home And someone said... We came to dance Making moves from a passion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time We came to dance Waiting as the panic grips my hand Hearing prose from high command Like a million times before No dignity or grace It's the prize and not the race And someone said... We came to dance Making moves from a passion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time We came to dance We came to dance Making moves from a passion play The ties that bind us just slip away "Take what you can" they said Take it while you may But keep in mind the penalty fits the crime And it deals no softened blow We came to dance Making moves from a passion play The ties that bind us just slip away We came to dance The piper calls out a different rhyme He cracks the whip and we step in time |

Cut and Run
|
|
See the man on the phone With a gun in his hand Sipping courage from a crystal cup He's a man in the wrong With a gun at his head Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run Time, passing so slowly Still, as he sits and he watches the sand slip through his hands He demands something more Something strong Something savage and pure One more twist of the knife and it's time to cut and run See the man on the phone With a gun in his hand Sipping courage from a crystal cup He's a man in the wrong With a gun at his head Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run He smiles, as he draws on his last cigarette And he tries to forget all that forces every move He commands something new Something strong Something spiteful and true One more twist of the knife and it's time to cut and run Cries on his tape so they might understand Signs his farewell with a squeeze of his hand See the man on the phone With a gun in his hand Sipping courage from a crystal cup He's a man in the wrong With a gun at his head Pushes on and now it's time to cut and run |

The Song (We Go)
|
|
Welcome to... Welcome to... Welcome to the song Hear the words of the syncopated rhythms Welcome to the song And when it calls you, time to move on We go! Welcome to... Welcome to... Welcome to the song Feel the strength of a hundred thousand heartbeats Cry welcome to the song And as it lifts you, time to move on We go! Welcome to... Welcome to... Welcome to the song Drawn from the inside Time to move on We go! We go! |
