1. COMMON GOAL

Easy love comes and goes, human bond free our souls,
Feeling good at the time, live your dream, free your mind.
Don't knock me, help me out, this is what our life's about,
Give and take, bend don't break, now's the time for real not fake.

We aim for the same goal.
Peace of mind, let it show.

Common goals come and go,
Common goal let's release.
Common goals come and go,
Common plan never cease.

We fight sometimes, what a shame, there's no point and there's no gain.
Hold me close, take me home, we will never be alone.
Do you see? You think like me, this is how it's meant to be.
Find a way through the dark, trying not to miss the mark.

Our time has come to focus on the richness of life.
If we search long enough we will find what we're looking for.
There are two sides to every story, who takes the credit? Who takes the glory?
We all want the same in a mixed-up game, but no-one really knows for sure.


2. FATE

Isn't it amazing the way things
seem to turn.
With so much confusion will I ever learn?
Everything around me seems to fall into place.
It seems like a dream, a vision. Will I fall from grace?

I remember travelling through a town long ago.
No money, just a surfboard that I would not let go.
Seeing was believing when people showed me the way.
I searched my heart and I lived for the next day.

Is this fate and illusion?
Fate. Is this happening to me?
Is it fate or my delusion?
Will I ever know my destiny?

Time to take hold of my life the old man would say.
A dream or a fantasy, it happens every day.
It's like a jigsaw puzzle ready to fit just like you and me.
This is my fate, my heart, my soul, this was meant to be.

Is this fate and illusion?
Fate. Is this happening to me?
Is it fate or my delusion?
Will I ever know my destiny?

Is this fate and illusion?
Fate. Is this happening to me?
Is it fate or my conclusion?
My life is changing constantly.

As the years go by I still wondered how I survived,
But there's always the thought, 'Have I arrived?'
I have a love and friend that guides me each day,
And knowing that my soul is showing me the way,
Showing the way.


3. JUSTIFY

PART I

Ice Caps are melting. Tides are turning.
Wild, wild life is crying out in vain.
Ozone depleting. Global Heating.
Child, child with no future. What a shame.
Can't you see the forest for the trees?
I forgot, we chopped them all down.
Don't you know you're getting hard to please,
Stop the rot before it comes 'round to you.

Building fences. Strong defences.
Keeps them in or does it keep us out?
Bridges burning, while seats of learning,
Sow, sow into mind fields seeds of doubt.
Can't you see it's getting hard to sleep?
Tossing and turning, not a moment's peace.
Don't you know what you sow is what you reap.
Wasted minute in a sea of apathy.

You seek to justify a better way of life.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Why do you quantify yet wield a two-edged knife?
For you to win must you destroy the game?

The walls between us are getting wider.
Eye for eye is not the only way to go.
Can't you see there's enough insanity?
Life as it is not as it should be.
You lay down with dogs, you're gonna wake up with fleas.
You're scratching the surface, not treating the disease.

Justify the things we do to make a better place to live.
You can't satisfy both me and you.
There's so much of your life you've gotta give.
But, do you know the way home from here?


PART II

Tears well up in rheumy eyes as I recall the time,
That all were silent, souls were torn apart.
Hear the voices rising against an unseen foe,
Terror in the minds and hearts.
Vindicate the actions, can't do this anymore.
When we gage reactions, when we're always keeping score.
Give and take is lost on us, we're always wanting more and more.

You ask the question 'Why I'm here and who are they?'
And 'What's been going on?'
And 'How could we let ourselves be led to such a place?'
Who is right and who is wrong?
It's the way we live and die in constant state of fear,
All we do is cover weakness, don't shed a single tear.
And every waking moment only serves to tell us why,
There's no second chances here.

You come to realise there's more to life than this.
A bowl of dirt revolving 'round a distant sun.
That everything that happens, happens for a reason,
And not some twist of fate or cosmic roll of dice.
So now's the time to breathe deep the atmosphere of love,
And feel the warmth around you, and start to look above,
The horizons of the many fears and doubts that cloud an open mind.


PART III

The walls between us come crashing down.
Brother, my brother, the children hold the key.
Finally see just where we need to be.
Stand together, a greater destiny.
Now you know you don't get it all for free.
Will it Take you, elevate you, re-generate you.

No need to justify a better way of life.
The more we change the more we realise,
It's time to satisfy the yearning deep within.
And know the meaning of the sacrifice.


4. TAKE GOOD CARE

Sometimes when I wonder, you wonder what we are.
This world of hate and war, you see it from afar.
Why can't we live in peace? A dream we want to share.
One man's journey, one man's happiness. Will we Care?

We see the pain And suffering. I wonder what we'll do.
Well there's gotta be an answer, we gotta think it through.
Why can't we live and love? It's what we all strive for.
One man's journey, one man's happiness. Let's be sure.

Take good care of this world.
We've been given too much to lose.
Shout it from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the oceans below.

When you're alone, all alone,
You reflect on what you see.
A life passes by and another is born,
A new world, let it be.
And if we see our lonely brother,
Will he understand?
We must love one another,
And share all this land.

We have to find a resolution to help us through these times.
While suits and ties in ivory towers destroy us with their lies.
Now's the time to make the change, to make it all come true.
One man's journey, one man's happiness. Let it through.


5. RIDE

It's a see-saw ride of love and hate, sometimes I feel the pain.
And there are so many questions that it's driving me insane.
And every now and then we find a solution.
But only when all other ways have reached the very end.

Why do we ride ourselves to the ground?
Why do we ride ourselves to the ground?

It seems that we push our emotions without cause. When will it end?
We feed our desires by finding the answers, this is the message I send.

An if there's hope we can understand.
And accept one another's point of view.
We dream and we strive to get there one day.
We only get one chance on this one world, one life beginning.

You're riding your friend, your heart is turning,
You're changing your ways.
You're riding your love, you're feeling complete,
These are better days.

Let's ride. Let's ride.

You're riding your feelings, you're riding your love,
You're riding the chain of life.
You're riding your dreams, you're riding your feelings,
You're sitting on the edge of a knife.


6. MORE THAN A DREAM

A journey that takes us to the ends of our lives,
A race never lost, never won.
More than a dream, less than a vision,
Adventure again just begun.

The question that separates man and beast,
In the hearts and minds of the being.
From rich man to poor, famine or feast,
To completeness of thought and feeling.
The search for something, the quest for truth,
The fountain of youth that keeps the traveller alive.

It's a journey that takes us to the ends of our lives,
A race never lost, never won.
More than a dream, less than a vision,
Adventure again just begun.

The answer is found within each heart,
It's alive and calculating.
Look to the finish which gives us the start,
The beginning of wisdom fulfilling.
The search for something, the quest for truth,
The fountain of youth that keeps the traveller alive.

It's a journey that takes us to the ends of our lives,
A race never lost, never won.
More than a dream, (we share together) less than a vision,
Adventure again just begun.

Love is all I see, and all I see is within you.
All I feel is within you.
And you by my side the path is complete.


7. SLOW DOWN

Have you ever watched your child on a merry-go-round,
Or listened to the rain splashing to the ground?
Did you ever have a dream that was way out of sight,
Or gazed at the moon into the fading night?
You'd better slow down, don't move so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last.

Do you run through each day with nowhere to go?
When your mind is in a muddle, when you can't get thoughts to flow.
And when the day is done do you lie in your bed,
With a hundred-thousand voices rushing through your head?
You'd better slow down, don't move so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last.

Did you ever tell your friends, 'We'll do it tomorrow."
And in your haste, not see their sorrow?
Did you ever let a good friendship die,
Because you never had time to call and say "Hi!"
You'd better slow down, don't move so fast,
Time is short, the music won't last.

Time is running out for the planet earth.

Can't figure it out, this world, this life, this reason, what went wrong?
So many men and women tried to be brave and strong.
We've got to slow down before it's too late.
We're rushing here, we're rushing there and no-one seems to really care.
Where the hell are we going?
Just get there on time!

When you drive so wild to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun and you end up going nowhere.
And when you hurry through your day,
It's like an unopened gift thrown away.
You move at such a fast pace, you've got to take it slower.
Hear the music before the song is over.


8. LIVES GO ‘ROUND

You watch TV. You listen to the radio,
To find out what's going on in this world.
The media's intention is to attract attention,
And lead us all astray.
In a world gone crazy, our minds are lazy,
On an earth that's turning to dust.
I wonder sometimes which way we will go,
And what will become of us.

And so we're watching our lives go round.

The kid on the street is just another number,
In a system of crime and deceit.
Another new invention full of good intention,
Can't help with this poor boy's need.
In a world gone crazy, our minds are lazy,
On an earth that's turning to dust.
In our lives, if we work at what we do,
Conscious of things we left to rust.

And so we're watching our lives go 'round.

We drive fast cars that we can't control.
Why have them in the first place.
Everything around us moving so fast,
Gotta keep up the pace.
We're living our lives from day to day,
They say, 'He who hesitates is lost."
Is it any wonder the years fly by?
Do we ever stop to count the cost?

No matter what we do, we've gotta stick together,
'Cause we've only just begun.
On a world revolving around the sun,
We should stay together as one.

Watching our lives go 'round.
And so we're watching our lives go round.

We are watching, we are waiting for you.

You watch TV, you listen to the radio.


9. STILL HERE

It seems so far away, so long ago.
Remember when you wouldn't dream of letting go.
Things are not what they used to be.
Every waking thought takes me back to you.

The plans we made for a future bright
Evaporate like water under the blistering sun.
The pain of your memory paralyses me with fear,
But I'm still here.
And I'm still here, I'm still here.

I can't recall when my heart had mourned so much.
I look to the skies and wish there was no flight at all.
Except for the elevation of the human condition.
Moments of madness finally take their toll.

I'm still here, won't you feel me,
Won't you hold me, in your arms.
I'm still here, won't you call me,
I am waiting to hear your voice.
I'm still here, won't you call me,
Won't you let me know, that you are here.

A sharp intake of icy breath,
A chill runs down my spine.
A thousand years of struggle,
Echoes of another time.
Confounding me, astounding me,
Not knowing the final page.
Every chapter in the book,
Refers to a bygone age.
Waiting for something or someone,
To take me away.
And show me a better world,
A better way.

The visions I have of you remain so clear.
The warmth of your touch, the sound of your voice,
I'd swear you'd never left.
The scattered shards of memories like broken mirrored glass,
Are all I have of you now you have gone.
But I'm still here.
Can you feel me, can you touch me,
Can you take me for a while?
I'm still here.
Can I feel you, can I touch you,
Can I take you for a while?
