"We Made It"


Bad timing for love: you caught me on your birthday
I could feel your heart break into a hundred pieces
We were too torn apart, now it seems so senseless
And if we're clever, we'll put it together, it may be forever

[Chorus:]
We made it, made it, made it before, I know that we can make it again
We made it, made it, made it before, I know that we can make it again

Down on my luck, you arrived just in time, my angel
Thought you'd given me up, like a rhyme that needs no reason
I want you enough to keep my life untangled
If we're clever, we'll put it together, 'cos it may be forever

[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]

I want you enough to keep my life untangled
If we're clever, we'll put it together, 'cos it may be forever

[Repeat chorus two times]

If ever we'll make it, we're gonna make it girl
And I know we can take it, we got to take it, girl

If ever we can make it, we gotta make it
And I know we can take it...

"White Sister"


How can you say you love me
When you don't even love yourself
You live your life like a jagged knife
Just waiting on the shelf

How can you live for tomorrow
When you curse the night and day
The minutes pass through the hour glass
As you let them slip away

Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name

How can you touch the sorrow
With a leather gloved hand
When you summon the winds of anger
Just as fast as you can

You crucify an orphan
With the rainbow in your eyes
Then you send out invitations
And address them with his cries

I, I don't even know what's right
I can say that you put up some kind of fight
I've been branded
I've been stranded
I'm so thankful for what I've been handed
I wish I could say that you're mine
Such a card game

[Instrumental brake]

Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me when I play your game
Do you love me
White sister
Do you love me
When I call your name

"Wings Of Time"


My faithful companion
I've lost my way once again
A prisoner of darkness
I let you down my friend

A heart left abandoned takes so long to heal its wounds
Your touch not forgotten
The end of the dream
It comes too soon
In this lonely room
Till I leave this world
Always know that

I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time

The road that I travel
Don't know which way I should turn
Till I find the answer
Know that the fire within me will always burn

Angel of mercy, please
Why so much pain?
I cry for forgiveness
I'm the destitute man
Who still remains
It's so hard to explain
Till I leave this world
Always know that

I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time

Sometimes I feel just like crying
I can't turn my back
All these years I've been trying
A vision of you keeps reappearing to me
You can't blame yourself
Just reach out your hand and believe

[Instrumental break]

We sail in dark waters
Lord give me some peace of mind
Temptation before me
Ahead lies the tower of truth that I must find
To you I will climb
Till I leave this cruel world far behind
Always know that

I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh our love doesn't end here
It lives forever on the wings of time
[repeats 2x]

"Without Your Love"


It's late at night, nothin's feelin' right
Since you've gone away
I think I know why you left this time,
But it's still hard to say
I nearly lost it, when he came around you
Now I'm holdin' it all inside and it's killin' me

We used to meet at an old cafe in Chi-Town
At first you could hear the wind stop,
Then my heart would pound
I remember everything you used to do, girl
Now I'm learning something that you already knew

It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be afraid
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love

I saw you through the door, with your motor runnin'
I can still hear the sound
I knew then, when you asked him in, you let your guard down
You're talking soft, don't tell me,
I know you're sincere
I just called to tell you that I'm the only one here


It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be afraid
It's not the same without your love
Every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love

[Instrumental brake]

It's not the same without your love
Oh, every night and every day, girl
It's not the same without your love
You don't have to be that way
It's not the same without your love
We can stop to find a way
It's not the same without your love
It's not the same without your love
Every night, every day, every night
It's not the same without your love
It's not the same without your love
It's not the same without your love

"You Are The Flower"


You never lose a minute
If in it there is love
And "old man time" always pulls you through
It's better not to depend on the morning dew
For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you
Hard and blue

Some folks take money
Some take their life
Some take forever to see
Blind faith, blind love
They're no mystery to me
You must take the time
For that's the fee

It's worth the pain that makes the tears
It's worth the light of a million years
Only your love I can't explain
You are the flower for my rain

You light the sun that shines from my eyes
It's all in return for what you're givin' me
You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet
And you kill the space that I call free

It's worth the pain that makes the tears
It's worth the light of a million years
Only your love I can't explain
You are the flower for my rain

[Instrumental break]

You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain

"You Got Me"


Momma said be careful what you do
Don't you let just anybody talk to you
I can't hide the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid if momma only knew
It feels right

If you want me
You got me
If you need me
You got me all night
And if you love me
You got me all night long

I confess I love the things you do
Your caress keeps me coming
Back to you

If you want me
You got me
If you need me
You got me all night
And if you love me
You got me all night long

[Instrumental break]

If you want me
You got me
If you need me
You got me all night
And if you love me
You got me all night long
[repeats 2x]

Bottom Of Your Soul

Where are the children we lost not long ago
Feel for the Mothers who weep for them
I pray for the Fathers who are standing by their side
In their world of pain and suffering

Have you ever seen the look in a hungry child's eyes
They can't eat money or promises
Give them your smile and try holding out your hand
Let them know you're there, let them know you're there

Chorus
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul

You can swim in a river of tears they cry
For they sleep on the winds of uncertainty
Show us a sign and make us believe again
There's no other way, oh, there's no other way

Chorus

Dying On My Feet

Dying on my feet
Sure beats living on my knees
These hands around my neck
They get tighter as you squeeze
I'd crawl across the water, baby
Just to get away from you
Take my life but make it shorter
Seems the least that you could do

Reach out
Someone reach out to me
Cause I've lost my way
Sometimes we
Give into things, when we lie and cheat,
Say things
My life's crumblin' down
Time for me to pray
Hold me in
Deep inside, cause I'm dying on my feet

Life is hard
But I think, "Compared to what?"
Can't see the things you get to
But deserve just what you got
Will you still forgive me baby
If I don't come back for more
Everything that ever mattered baby
Is locked behind your door

Can't judge
Things I don't understand
Since you walked away
Easy to
Feel this way,
Cause I'm back on the street, well
Life is
A game you can't win
You can only play
Here I am
I'm just dyin,
I'm just dyin,
I'm just dyin!

Instrumental Break

Reach out
Someone reach out to me
Cause I've lost my way
Sometimes we
Give into things, when we lie and cheat,
Say things
My life's crumblin' down
Time for me to pray
Hold me in
Deep inside, cause I'm dying,
I'm just dyin', I'm just dyin'

Falling In Between

I've just got to find
Find a way, back home to you girl

Life's been Hell to pay
I can't disobey,
Gotta live in my world

Chorus I

I hear voices calling
From the faces never seen
Darkness all around me
I am falling in between

You've been lookin' down
Down to the ground
On everything I say girl

Hope just can't be found
I'm so gagged and bound
Because of you girl

Chorus II

I hear voices calling
From the places I have been
Love and understanding
Only flows from deep within
Darkness that surrounds me
I am falling in between.....

King Of The World

Smoke and mirrors
It's a house of cards
Everybody has windows
And big cigars

The law of the jungle
Is very new to some
The animals are vicious and arrogant
And they eat their young

I used to work my job from 9 to 5
I just survived

I was the king of the world
I had every thing thrown at me,
That the judge and jury could hurl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way up,
To the very top of the tower

Helter skelter
It's a den of thieves
Sea of errors
That a greedy man weaves

A few really bad apples
Always spoil the lot
Rolling blackouts
On everyone's block

I go to work and try to make ends meet
My life is over

I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower

Instrumental Break

I was the king of the world
I had everything I needed,
I owned every type of girl
I was the man of the hour
I would claw and scratch my way,
Up to the very top of the tower
