Tears For Fears Album

I was born at the wrong time
A child lost on the skyline
When I felt a need to change
So I looked deep within me
Somehow touched by the real me
Had to find another day

So take the heart of this man
Heal the pain with your hands
Shelter me from the rain
Help my eyes see again
Free me
Hold me close
And take my soul on board

Shallow waters we drown in
From the deep you are calling
And with your touch I drift away

Chorus

With fear and pride I live and die
A silver light in the blue night
You come to me

Take my heart be my guide
Lay your strength by my side
And cover me from the rain
Now my eyes can see again
Free me
Hold me close
Through dark skies you led my spirit home
You took my soul on board

Dear God
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can

Spinning round
Falling down
World just keeps on turning
Chaos breeds
People's needs
When we should be learning
And I want something more
For you and me to dream on
Oh I've been looking for something to believe
So now it's time for letting go
I've got to let my feelings show
I won't be coming back
I'm calling out around the world, calling out

Calling out around the world
I'm telling everyone I see
Time to take a chance again
And free the dream, the dream in me

Dear God
I'm doing the best I can

Love me now
Show me now
I forgot the feeling
Take me there
Anywhere
Hatred turns to healing
'Cause I want something more
That I can put my faith in
Oh I've been looking for
Something to believe
And now it's time for letting go
I've got to let my feelings show
I won't be coming back
I'm calling out around the world, calling out

Chorus

Dear God
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can
I'm doing the best I can

I was laying listening to the rain
By my side you were silent, sweetly sleeping
I thought 'how beautiful'-how very beautiful
You looked to me
Fast asleep while the rain fell down

Walking through a world that knows no shame
We're hanging on to a promise worth the keeping
And it's so beautiful so very beautiful
This world I see
Now that we are the two of us and

I don't need a reason
I don't have to explain
Since the change of the season
The world's not the same
And oh-
It's so beautiful to me
And if I hold up a mirror
To the smile on your face
I see hope for the future
Look around this old place
Well oh...
It's so beautiful to me

Feels like some divine protection
When you smile all my worries seem so far away
I feel so innocent, so-very innocent
When I'm with you
When I dream on these halcyon days

I don't need a reason
I don't have to explain
Since the change of the reason
The world's not the same
And oh-
It's so beautiful to me
If I hold up a mirror
To the smile on your face
I see hope for the future
Look around this old place
Well oh...
It's so beautiful to me

And when you dream you send a rainbow
A rainbow to my heart-
Across the miles of tears and trials
Together we will find a way

I don't need no one else
I get by by myself
These feelings I will hold inside me
I listen to my heart
This world could fall apart
Could it be that I'm afraid to see the light?

It used to be easy
Was it all in my mind?

Living like I do. Searching for a clue
Looking for the wonder child
One thing I can do is hide this fear and
Hold on, hold on

I could convince myself
Don't need no one else
No reasons why I act this way
So hard to take sometimes
I've seen the danger signs
Caught up inside a world that no one knows

It used to be easy
Was it all in my mind?

Living like I do. Searching for the truth
Looking for the wonder child
One thing I can do is hide this fear and
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

I'm on my own even if I could get near you
So confused I know that I would walk right by you
Alone for days, even if I hold on
So out of phase, even if I hold on
Even if I hold on

Living like I do. Searching for a clue
Looking for the wonder child
One thing I can do is hide this fear and
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Living like I do. Searching for a clue
Looking for the wonder child
One thing I can do is hide this fear and
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Living like I do searching for the truth
Looking for the wonder child
You've got to hold on, hold on
Looking for the wonder child
One thing I can do is hide this fear and
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
To go on, hold on

Holding rightly on to something you believe
It's getting harder when we practice to deceive
But you know when night falls

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there to hold and guide you
Dark is the night that hides the light from your eyes

I will be there to hold and guide you

Come the morning life is keeping you in chains
But don't you be afraid to call out my name
I come to you in the blue rain
Let the tears fall

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there to hold and guide you
Dark is the night that hides the light from your eyes
I will be there to stand beside you

Now I can see the shadows over you
Thunder rolls but the light breaks through
And there are times in my life
I know that love is true
And I need you know

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there to stand beside you
I won't let another night steal the light from your eyes
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there to hold and guide you
When the dream inside you cries just lift up your eyes
I will be there...

Somewhere, sometime I became a part of you
And then in time, in time it seems like I got to heart of you
And inside my mind I could entertain
Almost anything you could throw at me
But does it feel like no one knows your name?

Somewhere, sometime you believe there's a price we pay
For anger in mind, in time it will always come back your way
And nothing ever changes, no

It feels like no one knows your name
It feels like no one knows your name

Out of the doorway, into the darkness
I walk slowly out of danger
Nothing ever changes
Down in the basement, I store the memories
Of a childhood spent alone
Nothing ever changes, no

Sometimes it feels that I can't get enough of you
It takes a long time to make this work
I know for sure my mind stays bright with you
It takes a long time to make this work
And nothing ever changes

It feels like no one knows your name
It feels like nothing ever changed

Here I am I've got to make it through
Another day with confusion all around me
I'm striking out. I've got to find a way
It feels like I'm starting out on my own
If I could find something to believe in
Something new, a love without a reason
It seems like when the lightning strikes
I need you in my life

I didn't ask for rain
Didn't ask for sun
Didn't ask to be the only lonely one
When you believe in faith
There's no need to be brave
Never on your own
'Cause faith is what it's all about

If I could deal with any situation
Another day of losing and frustration
Then I could say there's one thing that is real
It's something like a love inside
And I need this high to move on with life

I didn't ask for rain
Didn't ask for sun
Didn't ask to be the only lonely one
When you believe in faith
There's no need to be brave
Never on your own
'Cause faith is what it's all about

Time after time I can feel a need to believe
I want to feel love, time after time
Time after time I believe in my mind

We've got to tell the government
That freedom is God sent

Where's the inspiration
Living like we do
Can't tell the devils from the angels
Faithless believers all over town
Where's the voice of reason just like the others.
Living underground

Come the revolution
Gonna burn this palace down
Come the revolution
Gonna tear his kingdom down
Burn this palace down

Image of corruption
An outline of a life
Is he a devil or an angel
You say you're my brother, you just another clown
Where's the voice of reason, just like the others
Living underground

Come the revolution
Gonna burn this palace down
Come the revolution
Gonna tear his kingdom down
Burn this palace down

Outlines, deadlines, anything for headlines
We get no respect 'cause we're all on the breadline
I know what it's like to be a survivor
You feed on greed when soul is my provider
Come the revolution, the final decider.
See how it feels when you're the outsider

Symptoms of survival, emotions underground
But come the revolution
Gonna burn this palace down
Come the revolution
Gonna tear his kingdom down
Come the revolution
You're gonna hear us shout
Put faith in evolution
And a solution will be found

If you take away my rights, prepare for the fight
We gotta tell the government that freedom is God sent
Don't need no rifles when we have disciples

A peaceful revolution will bring the solution
So raise your hands there's hope for this land

I think I'll fall to pieces
If I don't find something else to do
This sadness it never ceases
Oh I'm still in love with you
And my head keeps on reeling
It's got me in a crazy spin
Oh darlin' darlin' darlin'
Is this the end?
I'm still in love with you

You know some people out there are saying
Time has its way of healing
It can dry all the tears from your eyes
Oh but darlin', they don't tell you about this empty feeling
You know I can't disguise it
After all that we've been through
I try my best but it's no use
Oh I'm gonna keep on loving you
Is this the end?
I'm still in love with you

And now that it's all over
Woman I think there's something you should know
Hey maybe 'cause my baby she had a baby by me
She might think it over one more time before she goes
Call on me baby
If there's anything I can do for you
Call on me baby
Help me see it through
I'm still in love with you
