Keep on fightng
Don't let troubles to get in your way
You can change and turn your thinking
To energy so beatiful

We're only human, lookin' for direction
We're only human, after all
We're only human, wanderers and dreamers
We're only human

Deep satisfaction
Is there within take magic of life
And the laws of your attraction
Say everything you need to know

You can't imagine
How so many people waste their time
We can achieve the love we need so we can shine
And see the things
That life will bring us know in perfect rhyme

The secret is in you, always within you

Sleep on angel
Show us where you go in your dreams
And the Universe will tell you
'You're wish in life is my command'

We're only human, looking for direction
We're only human, after all
We're only human, wanderers and dreamers
We're only human

I can see that look that says beware
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I must sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know she'll do the same
Fly away

Watches like an eagle from its eerie
And like a bird of prey she captures me
But I am older and more wise than you
Bird of prey, straight into me you flew
Fly away

Now every time I tried to set her free
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me
But if I knew she didn't want to stay
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey

Sunrise
And the new day's breakin' through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Excep the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again

Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
I'm tired of fightin'
And foolin' around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love you
For all of my time

Sunrise ...

Take me across the water
'Cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride

Well, there's a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food
And no water, Lord
'Cos I'm running out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life

Stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin', when I
Should've been buyin'

All that fightin', killin'
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life, life...

So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin', when I
Should've been buyin'
I was stealin'
When I should've been buyin'
I was stealin'
When I should've been buyin'
Stealin', when I
Should've been buyin' ..
I was stealin' ...
 
Corridors Of Madness

I'm looking out over the water,
feeling the cold in my bones
A terrible nightmare growing around me,
I never felt so alone
I started to see my reflection,
a whisper of light in the sky
The dark water called me, pulling me in,
down where the old spirits lie

Yeah yeah

I look at the moon as it flickers,
through the waves like a lost memory
I'm losing control as the spirits are laughing,
singing their dark harmony
They try everything to destroy me
they're drawing me into their game
Question or answer, will I live or die,
convincing me I am insane

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. In the corridors of mandness
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. They go on and on and on
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. They say, they wan - to take me home

They live in a world under water,
maybe we end up this way
But I'm still alive and I'm frightened to death,
the fear of this water grave
I'm riching out into the silence,
begging for help to appear
The whisper of light that was there in the sky,
pulling me into the clear

So don't look out over the water,
you never know what you will find
You could be saved or you could be lost,
may even go out of your mind
So now when you see your reflection,
and spirits are tempting you in
Calling your name like a lamb to the slaughter,
fearing the pendulum swing

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. In the corridors of mandness
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. They go on and on and on
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. They say, they want - to take me home.

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. In the corridors of mandness
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. They go on and on and on
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah. They say, they want - to take me home.

You're not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight

And there are many
Who will say it's speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again

I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds
I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you

And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of time    
Of time ...

A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There's so much exploration
Out on the edge of space and time
 
The Wizard

He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
He told me tales
And he drank my wine
Me and my magic man
Kinda feeling fine 

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke
I felt a deep desire
To free the world
Of its fear and pain
And help the people
To feel free again

Why don't we listen to
The voices in our hearts
'Cause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring 

So spoke the wizard
In his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom
Means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And a million silver stars
That guide me with their light
 
Free Me

Free me, free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell

Why should I worry
That you might not love me
You're not the only love 
That I've ever had
Your sweet memory
Will always comfort me
So why should I be feeling sad

As far as I can tell
You knew so well
I was always
At the end of the line
I've loved you as much
As any man can
But not enough
To make you mine

So long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I tell you babe

Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Oh babe, free me
Why won't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell

We let a good love die
We let it pass us by
Though you tried to
Keep me hangin' on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travellin' on
And saying:

So long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I beg it babe

Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
I'm on my knees, babe
Free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell

Oh babe, come on
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from this spell

Ain't it strange
That when you're onely
And your friends they're not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground

When you're down
And no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
When your friends
They don't desert you
When you make it you're a star

But I'm gonna stay
Free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy

Well, I've been through
All the heartaches
And I've been through all the pain
But when you're up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim

I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy

I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just who I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
 
Gypsy

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
Said: "You're not welcome on our land"
And then as a foe
He told me to go

He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Oh, I want my gypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

July Morning

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la ...

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own
 
Easy Livin'

This is a thing I have never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'
 
Lady In Black

She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
Ah ah ah ...

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life
Ah ah ah ...

But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of our men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay 
Ah ah ah ...

Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away
Ah ah ah ...

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw 
Her black coat disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
And say hello from me
Ah ah ah ...
