There comes a time,
In each man's life,
To find your way,
Or fall behind

Who you are,
Is the path you take,
And I'll find my way ,
Through your mistake

Sometimes your tears,
Are your bridge to the sky,
But you can't trust souls,
With no truth in their eyes

Who you are,
Is the path you take,
And I'll find my way,
Through your mistake

Time will heal,
And all we know,
If nothing's learned,
Baby, nothing grows

Time will heal,
And all we know,
Everything stays the same,
Nothing changes,
Nothing changes

A man's not a man,
When he takes the lower road,
Dragging his tail,
To cover his tracks

When you plant the seeds,
Of doubt in my mind,
You know you run the risk,
Of being left behind

When I turn the mirror,
I turn it back on myself,
I can see your way,
Was a cry for help

Time will heal,
And all we know,
If nothing's learned,
Baby, nothing grows

Time will heal,
For all we know,
Everything stays the same,
Nothing changes,
Nothing changes

Crow Jane (x3)
Don't you hold your head so high,
Someday, baby, you know you gotta die.

I'm gonna buy me a pistol,
Long as I am tall,
Shoot Crow Jane just to see her fall.

There's a reason I told Crow Jane,
Don't you hold your head so high,
Someday, baby, you know you gotta die.
You gotta lay down and die,
Lay down...

(Guitar solo)

Yes I dug her grave,
With a silver spade,
Hey nobody's gonna take Crow Jane's place.

There's a reason I told Crow Jane,
Don't you hold your head so high,
Someday, baby, you know you gotta die.

Crow Jane (x3)

(Keyboard solo)

You never miss your water,
'til your well run dry,
I didn't miss Crow Jane,
'til the day she died.

There's a reason I told Crow Jane,
Don't you hold your head so high,
Someday, baby, you know you gotta die.

Lay down and die (x4)

(Guitar solo)

I can hear sweet voices singin, hear sweet music playin
Sailin' on, sailin' on
Oh, I wish you were here with me when I'm sailin on

People, this is just a dream away
I see us walking to a better day
Gonna be alright when tomorrow comes
After the heat of the revolution

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
It's alright with me

Daylight comes like a wonder drug
You've got to live for what you love
Gonna be alright when tomorrow comes
After the heat of the revolution

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
The revolution, it's alright with me, yeah
The revolution, it's alright, oh, it's alright with me

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
The revolution, it's alright, yeah, it's alright with me
It's alright with me, yeah
The revolution, revolution

One world forever
One world, I see
One world forever and ever
It's alright with me

Just stepped out, over and over again
Standin’ my pride, even though I know I can’t win
I’m tired, of you messin’ up my tide
You got yours, let me-let me have mine

I’d rather be blind, cripple and crazy
Somewhere pushin’ up daisies
Than to let you break my heart all over again

To break a man’s heart, all you need is pain
You’ve got me so messed up, ‘bout to go insane
You break a man’s heart, and don’t say nothin’ to him
I keep askin’ myself,
Why you wanna do it? Why you wanna do it?

I’d rather be blind, cripple and crazy
Somewhere pushin’ up daisies
Than to let you break my heart all over again
Why you wanna do it baby?

I’d rather be blind, cripple and crazy
Somewhere pushin’ up daisies
Than to let you break my heart all over again
Why you wanna do it baby?

You left me moaning at your back door
Your dog is barking now, back for more
Took everyday yeah, and every night
You know the mood is gonna fit ya
The feeling's gonna make it all right

Women want a man, act a fool
Make it up to you, in due time
Till the mood is gonna fit you
The feeling's gonna make it all right

Chorus:
All I do, all I do is sing about you
All I do, every morning and night
Till the mood is gonna fit you
The feeling's gonna make it all right

Your dog was barking now, back for more
Took everyday yeah and every night
You know the mood is gonna fit ya

All I do, every morning and night
Till the mood is gonna fit you
The feeling's gonna make it all right

All I do is all I do
All I do all I do is think about you
All I do is all I do

Mahjoun

[No lyrics]

I wish I knew how, it would feel to be free
I wish I could break, all the chains holding me
I wish I could see, everything I had to see
Sing it loud, sing it clear, for the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share, all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars, that keep us apart
I wish you knew, how it would feel to be me
Then you'd see, and agree, everyone should be free

I wish I could give, all I'm longing to give
I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do everything that I could do
Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing, cause I know (echo and repeated)

I sing because I know, I sing because I know, I sing because I know everyone should be free.

. . .


Sad sad lover, being true
Falling out a window for the view
All of us laugh, how many of us say?
This sky where we live is no place to lose your way
So love, love, love

Lose your body and your mind
And the bitter taste of time
All of us cry while we should be dancing
This sky where we live is no place to lose your way
So love, love, love

Fly fly away, fly away
Fly fly away, do you remember?
All of us sleeping, how many of us dream?
This sky where we live is the place to lose your way
So love, love, love

Fly fly away, fly away
Fly fly away, do you remember?
