Love don't need to find a way
You find your own way
I forget that I can't stay
And so I say that
All roads lead to where you are.
True love never can be rent
But only true love can keep beauty innocent.
Lights go down, it's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
A thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
It can't be bought
Your mind can wander.
Started a landslide in my ego
Looked from the outside to the world I left behind.
In the world I left behind
Wipe their eyes and then let go
In the world I left behind
Shed a tear and let love go.
And a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world.
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?
I tied myself with wire
To let the horses roam free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me.
And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone
Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it.
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry.
Take these hands
Don't make a fist.
Take this mouth
So quick to criticize
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss.
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love where love may please
The soul and its striptease
Hate brought to its knees
The sky over our head
We can reach it from our bed
You let me in your heart
And out of my head, head.
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up.
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live.
I, I believe in love.
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight,
We can be as one, tonight.
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind:
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme.
In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows they'd learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret and waves of joy.
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy.
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.
Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit.
Monday morning,
Eighteen years are dawning,
I said "how long?"
I have climbed highest mountain;
I have run through the fields.
Only to be with you;
Only to be with you.
I've conquered my past
The future is here at last
I stand at the entrance to a new world I can see.
The ruins to the right of me
Will soon have lost sight of me.
Love, rescue me.
Blinded, you lost your way
In the side streets and the alleyways
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight.
