O.A.R. Album

Well, in the end my friend, we will all be together again
Clutching onto my hand, in a valley we'll stand, just living again
And in a while we'll smile, march on another mile
On hallowed hills, attached to the land we'll be still
No one's ever gonna say a thing
And we'll be together, together again
Taking off to the city on down
Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not know
Days went by, and amusement cried, I decide to let
My soul fly on by itself, pick happiness up and bring it back to the shelf
We'll be okay one day, in a valley we will stay
No more moving on
I knew it was right here all along
Won't have to hold your crown, no more looking around
Just holding you tight in the city on down
Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not know
But days went by and amusement cried
I decide it's time, I got to move on now
But I was so scared
I was frightened, somewhat enlightened
So I changed shoes
Now I walk through a valley of color much better than the other
Way I did not know, but now we can be united
Miracle, miracle sighted, and I'm pulling it in
I know by now we can all walk together at a regular speed
Do you dare to be excited, are you somewhat delighted?
Are you aware somewhat delighted?
At what you did not know
Let's take it to the city on down

She takes it deep to the heart right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend, why don't
you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute
from her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, now how
is that a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm
looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I
really haven't got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
and I'm looking for that place to go.
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad, but you
never really let her know.
And everyone says that she's crying.
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?

Well I've been through these phases, I've walked
through these mazes.
I'm sick and I'm a little tired.
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience
that's required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed
her I still would be out the door.
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn't
that what she's for?

And everyone says that I'm lying,
But I can't forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.

I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It's my life.
My life.
Why can't we take it slow?
Baby, take it slow.

I woke today, felt another way,
everything was gonna be fine.
My head rose up then my legs came too,
quarter past nine was the time.
I used to lose floating memories, found myself
wishing I'd remember old times.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.

I stepped out the door, didn't know what for,
I saw my lady walking along.
I could have cried out what I wanted to say,
but I am sick of all this terrible charm.
I used to be into apologies, a regular to shame I
was shy.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.

Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
anymore.
And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
was off to a regular day.

The morning dragged on, I was walking along,
missing pieces fell to the ground.
Apparently, I could not see,
but I saw everything going down.
So I packed my bags and I was on my way,
I feel a little different in a different way.
But like I said when I got out of bed, I was off to a
regular day.

I could not hide, I wore my pride,
it felt good to be on the run.
The air quality was something new to me and I got
along fine with the sun.
And when I rest my heard and I lay down to bed,
I put the pieces down with the blame.
And if all goes well, at the morning bell,
I'll wake feeling free just the same.

Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
a quarter to eight.
And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
anymore.
And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
was off to a regular day.

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed

I know this lady, way down in my country
She was so pretty thet my eyes threw disguises at me
An we would sit and wonder 'bout the future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me
Well i've been working for days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head,
said i've been tired in my head...

It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed

I know this lady with eyes as blue as the sea
Now she would sit and stare directly through me
Throughout the past, there was nothing left for me
But i've been working five days on full time
I've got no money but everything is goin' fine
But i've been tired in my head
Said i've been tired in my head...

Its 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed.....

Its 3 a.m., I wanna go to bed
I got a lady running through my head
Ran outta money, i'm lookin for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed (x2)

Wanna go to bed...
wanna wanna go to go to bed...
wanna wanna wanna go to bed....

i don't know nothing, i don't know a thing
but if i just keep on listening, together we'll sing

i've been walking for about a thousand years
and my feet are tired of crying all those painful tears
and my sight is going blind and my soul is way down low
but i haven't seen a thing, so that's all i can know

i said cause i don't know nothing, i don't know a thing
but if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing

i've been drinking to drown away my tears
and i'm sick of all the violence and i'm sick of all the fears
but i'm moving down the road, true i'm moving kind of slow
but i haven't heard a thing, so that's all i can know

said cause i don't know nothing, ya'll don't know a thing
but if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing

i don't think that it's going that good today
i can't take my eyes off of the rain
well i don't think that it's going that good today
can't take my eyes off of the rain
and everybody's running away
i ran away to the top of the world today

i've been crying and losing lots of sleep
cause the roads are getting longer
winter snows come kinda deep
but i still will move along
and i still can feel the sun
and i see or hear a thing
and i'll break into a run

said cause i don't know nothing, ya'll don't know a thing
but if we just keep on listening, together we'll sing

i don't think that it's going that good today
i can't take my eyes off of the rain
and everybody's going insane
well i don't think that it's going that good today
i can't take my eyes off of the rain
everybody's running away
i ran away to the top of the world today
i ran away to the top of the world today
ran away top of the world today

I look out below me the clouds on top the blue
kids thinking about nothing, cause there's
absolutely nothing to do.
The door ain't wide just open, open to the sky
On top the cage keep hopin', sayin cause on top
the cage just try, on top the cage
Help out your brother to the light at peace is a
helping hand
With help from our mother we shine so bright and
march to the father's land
I said we take the spot and we take it up top and
the key fits in the lock
You come with me on this lifting walk, and you
know you never come back
Because on top the cage is the harmony that bars
and chains never chime
Wherever we go it's not far for me, better befriend
old man time.

I stood on top of this cage one night, all night long
From here the view was proud
So I told people come out of your cage
Time to break lock forever
Join together march on top hold my hand, say
goodbye to never
You can be my man if you want to hang out here
Just me and my girl on top of this world and we sit
there and we stare
At the clouds, green hills, and the mountaintops,
and the river to the side
You can come too, if you want, you don't have to hide

Down the road there was a man walking, walking
Knapsack round his back radio talking, talking
And his blue suede shoes are covered in mud, but it no matter cause the boys on the run
Black sunglasses and a bald head too, boy never had nowhere to run when it was cold, so cold
So he hitched a ride to New Mexico, wanted to try for the big brass show
But no

He's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one place to go
He's wandering and wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone

Feet been walking for a thousand years, trying to drive away those fears, but no
Well then he picked up and then he went down south
Dad said nothing and mom shut her mouth

Well, he never thought too much, just thought he could heal with his touch
For those who need help and more love
And when love came around I heard the sound
Wanderers wandering all round the town
But no, they go
He's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one place to go
He's wandering and wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone
Hey, he's the wanderer looking for his long lost home
He's only got one fine place to go
He's wandering wondering when to go home
He's not alone, not alone, not alone

We wan wan wandered along, grabbed our friends and we move along
We won won won the war, grabbed our friends and we ran for the door
[repeat]

light of the candle, bright one's soul shined
woke up new morning feeling better than ever, fine
chest no hurt no more, something feel better
what's all the hate for, now something feel better
to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i

walk through the valley and i'll follow the stars
i feel it so close now, it can't be that far
time some grow lonely, but time isn't done
it's time to go home now, you're not on the run

to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i
to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i

one step forward and i crossed the line again
one step forward and i crossed the line again
standing on the edge of a civilization
mo one's around
standing on the edge of a civilization
and no one's around and i ain't heard a sound, yeah

the path is snowed over, the path lies ahead
soon we'll be down there, and nothing is said
there's no need to fear love, don't let love hide
conquer the mountains way down by the riverside

to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i
to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i, to zion goes i

I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,
I like to read - she likes to write,
she likes to sleep - and I like to stay up all night,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
but that's okay that's the way I like to be

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go

I say now hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go
I said hey girl, come with me, and let yourself go, go, go, let yourself go

we went out late that night and we danced through the night
I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight she was
But she didn't care, and I didnt mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say I'am crazy and I agree,
but thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go,
just let yourself go

Hush little baby dont say a word
i would like to give you evrything that you deserve
ill give you my heart ill give you all my soul
you can have all my money if you like you can control
in my mind i miss you every night that your not here
oh i just want to sit around your life and breath your air
and if i can not have you i just dont want to live
oh i got so much i would like to give

hey girl, come with me and let yourself go, come on, come on
hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go,
just let yourself go

Hey girl,but baby it all here just let yourself go
Hey girl,but baby but darlin let your self go
Hey girl,but baby but darlin i need to know
Hey girl,but my sweety but my lovely id love to let you go
Hey girl,but im comeing back for you and im looking to you girl

There are few things pure in this world anymore,
and home is one of the few.
We'd have a drink outside,
maybe run and hide if we saw a couple men in blue.
But to me it's so damn easy to see
that true people are the people at home.
Well I've. been away but now I'm back today,
and there aint a place I'd rather go.

I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own.
I feel home,
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that's just what I feel.
Home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real.

Feelin alright, headin out tonight,
maybe off to a dark driveway.
I say now some feel bored,
Well, we all just decide to stay.
We got nothin to do,
and I look at you
I see something that I know and love.
and with the crack of a smile we all stay a while
we know from home there aint nothing above.

Well in the end we can all call a friend
well that's something I know as true.
And then a thousand years and a thousand tears
I'll come back to my original crew

cuz to me throughout eternity
there's somewhere where you're welcome to go
I said it's something free that means a lot to me
when I'm with my friends I feel home.

I feel home,
when I see the faces that remember my own
I feel home,
when I'm chillin outside with the people I know.
I feel home,
and that's just what I feel.
because home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real
Home to me is reality,
and all I need is something real

I feel home.
