Down By The River

 

Verse 1.

                Down by the river, in the warmth of the sun,

                I saw a young girl, a smile she sent my way,

                She asked me to join her, so I sat down by her side,

                We talked so easy, like we had met before.

 

Chorus.

                & now that we are one,

                you fill my heart with fun,

I've never felt so good inside,

                Like a bird that flies to summer sun,

                A child that loves everyone.

 

Verse 2.

                We talked for hours, 'till the sun fell from the sky,

                I did not want this moment , to stop, I felt so high,

                I  said I must be going, my heart it felt so low,

                But can I see you, 'cause now I have to go.

 

Chorus.

 

Middle eight.

 

Verse 3.

                Now we are together, every day is like a dream,

                What could be better, to me you are everything,

                Stay with me forever,  always make me smile,

                And we'll be together,  through every test and trial.

 

Chorus.

To fade.

 

Face another day

 

 

Verse 1

Times are bad but your not calling

out for help from any side

you think that it cant get no harder

but you've said it many times

 

Chorus

So don't you wake up in the morning

afraid to face another day

don't you wake up in the morning

afraid to face another day

 

Verse 2

moneys low and your not living

how you think you ought to be

but in your mind it's all so clear now

why you dont begin to care

 

Chorus

 

Verse 3

You worked all day and every night

your time was hardly yours

but money came in thick and fast

riches filled the cask

friends you had to fill your life

when the money used to pour

but now that all the moneys gone

they've left and now your one

 

Chorus

 

Land of Fantasy 

Verse 1

Sadness seems to fill our lives,

When will it, feel alright,

You live your life for you no not,

From mothers womb to that flowered plot,

Is this world we live for fools,

For happiness has no golden rules,

One day happy, the next day sad,

It really must help to be half mad.

 

Chorus

But if I walk along with you,

Everything seems clear and true,

Walking round just you and me,

Into the land of fantasy.

 

Verse 2

Another life is what you want,

No more crawling in the dirt,

You want it good and you want it strong,

But what price happiness for so long,

Is life really a living hell,

A tormented mind in a human shell,

One day happy the next day sad,

It really must help to be half mad.

 

Chorus

 

Verse 3

Is it heartache is it pain,

Does sorrow really fill our day,

Do we live our life for best,

Or do we fall like all the rest,

Taking roads that lead to hell,

Is something we all do so well,

Why can't we lift our hearts,

And make believe, loves is ours.

 

Chorus

 

Life you Lead

Verse 1

My mind is like a homeless child,

Wondering day and night,

I never know which way to turn,

How will I ever learn.

 

Chorus

And I don't want the life you lead,

I want something I can't reach,

Leave me in my helpless way,

To live my life, day by day.

 

Verse 2

People think that I am cold,

I try to reach but cannot hold,

If I could only see the light,

I would never have to fight.

 

Chorus

 

Verse 3

Now each day it brings relief,

From battles fought from deep within,

Of troubles that invade the mind,

Are exorcised to deep confines.

Chorus

 

Verse 4

Standing tall and standing straight,

To face the world and all its hate,

To make a difference we stand here,

To challenge all and never fear.

 

Chorus

 

You've got a lot to lose

Verse 1

The city streets are streaming like tears from a child

that never ending ritual why cant they get wise

the days and days of working for what you may ask

a bigger car a better house isnt life just a farce

 

Chorus

 & you've got a lot to lose

 you've got a lot to lose

but you wont care till you do

 

Verse 2

the media gives the warning in there special way

with war death destruction every day

the banners are out but you'll never see

'cause middle class living is the fruit on the tree

   

Chorus

   

Verse 3

you try to break the circle but your just a pawn

there is'nt another way you have been warned

the way people act you should have got wise

but your life is your life & theirs you despise   

 

Chorus

 

Love Within Our Hands 

Verse 1

I cry a tear most every night,

As I watch the evening news,

The sickness death and poverty,

That fills the jaded screen,

But if we had all the answers,

Would we change anything,

Would we sacrifice the wealth we have,

And start afresh again.

 

Chorus

And we could change 'most anything,

If we could understand,

That the only thing that matters,

Is love within our hands, in our hands.

 

Verse 2

When we decide to stop the wars,

When we say no one's to blame,

When there are, no city walls,

Then there'll be no pain,

When money stops corrupting,

When we all know the truth,

When weapons stop political wealth,

And we feed the mouths that need.

 

Chorus

 

Verse 3

Sacrifice our future,

Sacrifice our pride,

Stop blaming other countries,

Stop all this genocide,

Stop blaming everybody,

Of a different colour skin,

Stop all this class and wealth bullshit,

And let us start again.

 

Chorus

 

Verse 4

Take down all the barriers,

Stop all this prejudice,

We are all just skin and bone,

Of this I think we've missed.

 

Chorus

 

Never going back.

Verse 1

 Sitting in a railway station, the last trains gone

Her eyes are crimson, and all she feels is pain,

All night long, she sits and stares.

Will my life ever be the same.

 

Chorus.

But she's never going back,

To that hurt and pain,

 No she's never going back

To that loveless game.

 

Verse 2.

Fighting back the tears, she takes the morning train,

Into the city of lights,

What will the day bring, what does the future hold,

How can she rise above the day.

 

Chorus.

 

Verse 3.

A note left on the table, I'm never coming back,

I never wanted it, to be this way,

For years I tried to tell you, but you never seemed to hear,

How can you ever understand.

 

Chorus.

And I'm never coming back,

To your hurt & pain,

& I'm never coming back,

 to your loveless game.

                (Repeat to fade. )

 

Never Never Land

Verse 1

Days go by as I watch the morning sun,

Never thinking there would be another one,

Tales of woe, that turn to happiness,

Brighten up my day, to make each day complete,

And love will flow like an avalanche,

when my dreams come true.

 

Chorus

And I can see your walking here alone again,

Looking for someone,

Can't you see I'm here in never never land,

Waiting for your love.

 

Verse 2

As you walk through fields of evergreen,

Your heart it cries for love, to heal your life,

Take the day and break those ring of chains,

Make your life, a life of harmony,

Then  love will flow like an avalanche,

And make your dreams come true.

 

Chorus

 

Middle eight

 

Verse 3

Now the story has to have an end,

Will you take the road, that leads to hurt and pain,

Or will you make my dream come true,

Take my heart and soul and set me free.

And love will flow like an avalanche,

And make our dreams come true.

Chorus

 

Save This Land 

Verse 1

Sitting in the morning daylight,

Looking at the sun,

I dream that all those pretty faces,

Are loving everyone,

Children playing in the courtyard,

There having so much fun,

Touch the hearts of all that watch them,

A smile to everone.

 

Chorus

And I can see you don't understand,

Wht hurt and pain is not the plan,

Why fighting wars and killing man,

Was never mean't to save this land.

 

Verse 2

Lovers walk through paths and hillsides,

Talking to the sun,

So much love, so much to live for,

& they don't have a care,

people talking in the gardens,

there's a party here today,

so much fun so much to live for,

isn't this the way.

 

Chorus

 

Verse 3

Sitting in the morning daylight,

Looking at the sun,

I dream that all those pretty faces,

Are loving everyone.

 

Chorus

 

Reprise

I dream that all those pretty faces,

Are loving everyone.
