Keep the Faith
04:59
|

You gotta start somewhere
So how about how to begin
You got to be careful
Build from the ground up
if you're going to win
Got to read the signs
What to pursue / chase
what to leave behind
Got to choose your faith
keep the faith in mind
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you keep the faith
When it's getting dark
and the shadows fall
You hold up your hand
and see nothing at all
And you're wondering now
how you got to be in this place
The only thing that's clear in your mind
is the shape of her face
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you keep the faith
When you're back to front
and feeling inside out
you decide to stay
to hear the story out
And you get to the middle
you can just about see the end
It might sting sometimes
but you gonna know your friends
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you keep the faith
Ooh - So you show your face

Heard it from the Buddha
04:35

I’m gonna look around me
I’m gonna look around me
I’m gonna see everything that I can see
I should have known
Better than to think it would be easy
I should have known
Better than to think it would be easy
You should have known
better than to doubt my word
I made an agreement, I made a pact
I made a decision I signed a contract
with myself
Now I’m standing back
and breathing in
I heard it from the Buddha
Now I’m going to take my time
I’m feeling happy, not feeling bad
I’m feeling snappy, I’m feeling glad to be alive
I think I’ll drive
I heard it from the Buddha
Now I’m going to take my time
I heard it from the Buddha
Now I’m going to take my time
I’m gonna look around me
I’m gonna look around me
I heard it from the Buddha
Now I’m going to take my time
I heard it from the Buddha
Now I’m going to take my time

Strange Days
03:33

Strange days ahead
If you believe the signs
They're all in alignment
No one gets left behind
I heard a story this morning
Some people on the run
They're trying to get to a place
Better than they're running from
Strange days ahead
I’m a stranger in a strange land
And if I look straight ahead
I believe I can see the promised land
Strange days have come
Coming right down the street
Better change my arrangements
Better start thinking on my feet
Strange days are here
No longer round the corner
Running up to meet us
Like a train coming round the bend
Strange days ahead
I’m a stranger in a strange land
And if I look straight ahead
I believe I can see the promised land
Like a long lost friend
Like a long lost friend
I walk in somebody's footsteps
They passed this way in the night
If there's a lesson for the learning
I wonder will I ever get it right
is it you? Is it me?
it should be obvious but I don’t see
I'm not trying to be bad
I'm just trying to be free
Strange days ahead
I’m a stranger in a strange land
And if I look straight ahead
I believe I can see the promised land
Strange days ahead
I’m a stranger in a strange land
And if I look straight ahead
I believe I can see the promised land

I just got back And I heard the news
Just got back And I've paid my dues
I got back was Like I've never been gone
Just got backBut it's good to be home
Ooh ooh do you wanna be me
Ooh ooh Do you want to see the things that I see
Ooh oohDoes it suck to be you
Ooh ooh Do you want to do the things that I do
I just got back and I heard you say
You Just got back You’ve been away
I got back and it was good to be gone
Just got back and it seems like you’re on the run
Ooh ooh do you wanna be me
Ooh ooh Do you want to see the things that I see
Ooh ooh Does it suck to be you
Ooh ooh Do you want to do the things that I do
Want to see the things that I see
Want to be the things you want to be?
Ooh ooh do you wanna be me
Ooh ooh Do you want to see the things that I see
Ooh ooh Does it suck to be you
Ooh ooh Do you want to do the things that I do
Want to see the things that I see
Want to be the things you want to be?

Mona Lisa
04:19
|

There's every reason to be happy
Look at the clear blue sky
And the people in the street
Everybody says hi
The wind is blowing at your back
That's a matter of fact
Circumstance is on your side
This could be an easy ride
But you have to complain
Again and again
About the way that you feel
And It's such a shame
You're a Mona Lisa
And it's hard to please yer
But it's easy to tease yer
When you just don't smile
The way you talk about the world
Is like something that you stood in
I can tell you from this angle
I have a different conclusion
Is there a sense of disappointment
Is this the final straw
Is there a promise that was broken
Is it time for you to slam the door
But you have to complain
Again and again
About the way that you feel
And It's such a shame
You're a Mona Lisa
And it's hard to please yer
But it's easy to tease yer
When you just don't smile
I think it's time for an inspection
About what's right and what is wrong
No reason for you to be downhearted
Unless you think it takes too long
It's like a scratch that needs some itching
Like the storm before the calm
Like the existence of meaninglessness
Like choosing to be cold, when you could choose to be warm

Living or Trying
06:47
|

It doesn't take much to feel alone
It's not hard to know the great unknown
I don't have to recall my every regret
I remember enough and it's not over yet
I don't pretend that I'm floored with the pain
I could do with a choice, and choosing again
A light in the darkness, a flame in the night
Back to the starting point, back to the light
Back to the light
I keep seeing things as they look to me
They're not the way I see them, but they ought to be
It doesn't take much to make things right
I'd like to take what's wrong and make it alright
Make it alright
It doesn't take long to make up my mind
But it takes much longer to change what I find
There's a consciousness it calls me back from the dead
I'd better start living, or trying, it said
living, or trying, it said
There’s a tree and a river and a lake
The water fall from the mountain side
I’ll meet you there when its getting late
Under the moon in a cloudless sky
Nothing to say, nothing to do
and no-one there but me and you
Before the sunrise you and I...
There's a consciousness it calls me back from the dead
You'd better start living, or trying, it said
living, or trying, it said
There's a consciousness it calls me back from the dead
You'd better start living, or trying, it said
living, or trying, it said

Cactus
02:48

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I grow lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

In Shadow's Heart
05:09

All things must pass
This I know When its time to go
All things must pass
This I know George told me so
All things must pass
An endless dream Eternal sky
All things must pass
In the day In the night
All things must pass
In the dark In the light
The things we need are all around
The souls we feed on higher ground
They’re up above and out of sight
Its never dark always light
Just because something is
Doesn't make it easy
Just because someone gives
Doesn't make them fools
All things must pass
Under sun And starless sky
All things must pass
Under moon-light shining down
All things must pass
At highways end, in shadows heart
All things must pass
This i know, this I know
All things must pass
this I know, George told me so
All thing must pass
this I know when its time to go
All things must pass
The boundless seas where love begins
