Absolute Reality
(MacDonald / Peters)
One two
Hey now now
Hey hey hey
You may be rich
You may be poor
You may have nothing in this world at all
You may be black
You may be white
You may be a prisoner in your own times
You may be lost
You may be found
You may have been
Beaten up and knocked to the ground
You may have belief
Suffer from deceit
Or you just might be blind
Ooh ho hoo
You may affect the truth
You may be seen as false
You may be a king or a vagabond
You may be up
You may be down
You may sit in judgement
With the rest of the clowns
You may have love
You may have hate
You may be the President of the United States
But even you
You can`t sit and hide
While the world resources die
This is
Absolute
Reality
Reality
Reality
We are all the cause
The solution to
Reality
Hey
Hey now now
Hey hey hey
You may be in control
You may be controlled
You may stay down `til you do as you`re told
You may work hard
You may never work at all
You may be accused
But you don`t know what for
You may be innocent
Or party to blame
You may just be afraid
In this power mad age
But there`s one thing
We all must find
Some peace in our time
This is
Absolute
Reality
Reality
Reality
If I may speak the truth
This is absolute
Reality
The absolute time
The absolute place
The absolute now
For the absolute solution
It`s absolute
Reality
Now

Rain In The Summertime
(The Alarm)
Whoo ho hooo
Hoo ho hooo
Under the anvil of the sun
Sweat like a train
I come I come
My body a dust
Scorched by the might of the sun
Burning light
Burning white heat
Like wildfire I sweat a fever
My body screams
Disintegrates in the heat
And love is the faith
That keeps on burning
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain
In the summertime
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain on my face
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain
In the summertime
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain on my face
Burnt at the stake on a bed of fire
My body rises
Taking me higher
My loves desire
Is pure ascension of fire
And love is the faith
That keeps on burning
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain
In the summertime
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain on my face
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain
In the summertime
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain on my face
And then I run `til the breath tears my throat
`Til the pain hits my side
As if I run fast enough
I can leave all the pain and the sadness behind
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain
In the summertime
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain on my face
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain
In the summertime
Ooh I
Love to feel the rain on my face
Rain on my face
Rain in the summertime

Sold Me Down The River
(MacDonald / Peters)

Spirit Of `76
(MacDonald / Peters)
Well I find myself in reverie
`Bout what we might have had
And what might have been
We had something going once
That was such a long long time ago
It was way back in`76
A friendship formed of pure innocence
We first met in Mathew Street
Where we heard something that would set us free
A sign stands over a door it says
Four lads that shook the world
In the depths of those heady nights
We would dream
Of those bright lights
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
And my friend John he went away
He made some mistakes
Spent time in Walton Jail
And now when I see him
We still talk
But there`s no light shining in his eyes
And Susie she was seventeen
And more beauty in this world
I swear you`ll never see
I was gonna be king
And she was gonna be queen
But now all she does is
Hide behind the tears
If there was more sense in this world
And work wasn`t so hard to find
You would not be going your way
I would not be going mine
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the streets
Somewhere beneath this city`s heat
In the eyes of strangers
Who pass me by
Well life is cruel
And so unkind
Oh ho
The spirit of `76
And Pete has seen his dreams come true
But that don`t make him no hero
He`s just one of the lucky few
If a man can`t change the world these days
I still believe a man can change his own
Destiny
But the price is high that has got to be paid
For everyone who survives there are many who fall
I`ve seen my friends caught out in the
Crossfire
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the
Funeral pyre
I will never give in
Until the day I die
Get myself some independence
Carve out a future with my two bare hands
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Oh my friend
Somewhere tonight out on the streets
Somewhere beneath this city`s heat
In the eyes of strangers
Who pass me by
Well life is cruel
And so unkind
Oh ho
The spirit of `76
Mersey lights
Shine in the distance
Same as they did for us then
Mersey lights shine
Bright in the distance
Where are you know my friend
You see
Some nights when I can`t sleep
I still think of you
And all the promises
All the dreams we shared
I know
Those lights still call to you
I can hear them now
I can hear them now
Oooh still shining for you
I`m shocked
Lights are still shining
Somewhere tonight out on the streets
Somewhere beneath this city`s heat
In the eyes of strangers
Who pass me by
Life is cruel
And so unkind
Oh ho
Where`s it gone
The spirit of `76
Strength
(The Alarm)
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Who will light the fire
I need to survive
Who will be the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Like a river flowing
That will never change
I need someone
I can
Depend on
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
`Cause I`m a man of emotions
Who can`t hide the tears
I`m a man of feeling
Who can`t hide the pain
I walk the outskirts of town
Where no one knows my name
I`m at the point of my life
Where I need
Affection
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
Oh won`t you
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
I need it now
I need it now
Someone write me a letter
I need to know that I`m still alive
Someone give me a telephone call
I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door
And let me out of this place
I`ve been caged up for oh so long
I don`t know if I`m living
Or dying
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
Someone better
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
I walk alone
Across the outskirts of town
I can`t control
What I`m going through now
Will you light the fire
That I need to survive
Will you be the life blood
Coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door
And let me out of this place
I`ve been caged up for oh so long
I don`t know if I`m living
Or dying
Ooh whoo ooh whooo
Oh won`t you
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone to live for
Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strenght
Give me someone
Someone to live for
I need it now
The Road
(MacDonald / Peters)
Come on
Every day I get up
From off the floor
I keep on coming back for more and more
So many times I get it in the face
I keep on running `til my dying day
Rain on the roadway
Thunder in the sky
The light of day disappears from sight
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
These wheels are burning
Up the miles
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
The only limitation
It`s in my mind
I drive awake my eyes are on full beam
The wind is screaming into my slipstream
Something keeps pulling me back from sleep
Whatever it is I want to see
These wheels are burning up the road tonight
The fuel is pumping into my mind
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
These wheels are burning
Up the miles
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
The only limitation
It`s in my mind
I`ll be there
When it all comes down
I`ll be there
I`ll be there
When it all comes down
I`ll be there
When it all comes down
Come on
Come on
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
These wheels are burning
Up the miles
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
The only limitation
It`s in my mind
The road
The fuel from the gazoline in my mind
From the engine to my mind
These wheels on fire
Yeah yeah yeah
As the road opens up
In front of my eyes
The only limitation
It`s in my mind
The road
The Stand
(MacDonald / Peters)
Lead voc: Choir:
Come on down
And meet your maker
Come on down
And make the stand
Ooh I have been out searching
With the black book in my hand
And I`ve looked between the lines that lie
On the pages that I tread
I met the walking dude religious
In his worn down cowboy boots
He walked like no man on earth
I swear he had no name
Had no name
I swear he had no name
Come on down
And meet your maker
Come on down
And make the stand
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
And make the stand
As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met Doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
Hey trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end your carrying
Shall I play the funeral march
Play the march
Play the funeral march
Come on down
And meet your maker
Come on down
And make the stand

The stand
Come one down
Come on down
And meet your maker
And meet your maker
Come on down
And make the stand
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
We`ll make the stand
When I looked out the window
On the hardship that I struck
I saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence
With hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross
It had no epitaph engraved
Epitaph engraved
It had no epitaph engraved
Come on down
And meet your maker
Come on down
Come on down
And make the stand
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
We`ll make the stand
Come roll out the red carpet
Come bugler sound the horn
The hero is returning
You`ve got to welcome him to his home
Don`t say I didn`t warn you
This prophecy is coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering
Riding over the hill
Riding over the hill
Come on down
And meet your maker
Come on down
And make the stand
Come on down
Come on down
Come on
And make the stand
Come on down
And meet your maker

Lie Of The Land
(The Alarm)
Too young to care too old to fight
I ain`t bothered about your life
Drop out fall out
Don`t go to school
Get out while the going`s good
Sign up for the dole make home
For your bones and moan ain`t got any cash
Have a lipstick man while you can
And your head of sand
Keep the lie of the land
Let`s keep the flames
Of hope
Alive
And never let
The fires die
Take a lie of the land
Today don`t wait don`t hesitate
Get out there and join the march
Join hands make plans
And take a chance
On the right hand side of the road
I fought the gang of the man named Vicious Henry
And his friend called Billy Wiz
Don`t stand in the dark where the sharks will rip you up
They`re gonna tear you apart
Let`s keep the flames
Of hope
Alive
And never let
The fires die
Take the lie of the land
We ain`t lying
And at home you`re alone
You`re the people that your parents warned you about
And all the walls are adorned with protest
As you always quote the
Let`s keep the flames
Of hope
Alive
And never let
The fires
Die
Let`s keep the flames
Of hope
Alive
And never forget
That if the fires die
There will be no light in the land
Take a lie of the land
Take a lie of the land
Take a lie of the land
Take a lie take a lie take a lie
Take a lie of the land
Take a lie of the land
Marching On
(MacDonald / Peters)
One two three four
There`s a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can`t control his anger
You can
See it in his eyes
He`s gonna smash the window
He`s gonna tear down the walls
Hey mister
You don`t understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes
These are the kids they`re powerless
So you tell them so
These are the kids they`re powerful
Don`t say you haven`t been told
And we`ll go marching on
Hear our sound
Hear our voice
We`re growing stronger
We`ll go marching on
We`re not alone
In keeping on
Marching on
Take walk round your city walls
Before they all fall down
Take a walk down any street
You`re gonna feel the stares of us all
Can you feel it burning
Shame is what it`s called
Just look at what you have created
Just think of
All the people who hate you
These are the people that made you
When you said you cared for us all
These are the people who`ll break you
Get prepared for the fall
And we`ll go marching on
Hear our sound
Hear our voice
We`re growing stronger
And we`ll go marching on
We`re not alone
We`re keeping on
Marching on
We`re the young who stand up
We must never be silenced
We`ve gotta speak out now
For all our sakes
Let`s lift our voices higher
Let`s sing our song
Keep on marching
Marching
And never forget
That when the power on the right side
Fights the power on the left
We have got to stand together
Forget the East and West
For there`s another voice
Crying in the ghetto
Another mouth to feed
Another heart
Beating in the ghetto
Another soul
To set free
And we`ll go marching on
Hear our sound
Hear our voice
We`re growing stronger
And we`ll go marching on
We`re not alone
We gotta keeping on
We go marching on
Keep on
Marching on
Marching on
We must never be silenced
Marching

Marching on
Lift your voices higher
Higher

Marching on
Sing the song

Marching on
Lift up lift up the voices

Marching on
We`ll never stop

No Frontiers
(MacDonald / Peters / Sharp)
A thousand miles before us
Long is the road
The mountain high
And the valley low
Our love is stronger than we know
In the tears of the river
I see the wrong
Hear the mountain cry
Cry with anger
Feel the pain in the valley below
I wanna run
Where the sunlight beats on my face
I wanna feel
The wind
In my hair
There are no frontiers
That we can`t cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
There are no frontiers
I am devoted to you
Like the sea to the shore
Like the tree to the forest
I can`t live without you
A river can`t live
Without water
I wanna run
Where the sunlight beats on my face
I wanna feel
The wind
In my hair
There are no frontiers
That we can`t cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
There are no frontiers
That we can cross
Whooo
There are no frontiers
That we can`t cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
There are no frontiers
That we can`t cross tonight
There are no borderlines
To keep us apart
No no no no
There are no frontiers
There are no frontiers
To keep us apart
There are no frontier
Rivers To Cross
(MacDonald / Peters)
Early one morning
Across the fields of dawn
Crooked is the shadow
That falls on my land
Storm clouds over head
Like birds and prey and wait
How can we undo
What can not be undone
I feel the darkness heavy
Heavy on my heart
There`s distance between us
Tearing us apart
Oooh whoo
How many rivers must I cross
Somehow
Somewhere
I will find a way
Oooh whoo
How many rivers must I cross
Somehow
Somewhere
I will find a way to cross
I`ve seen the proud black mountain
Beneath an angry sun
Under drowning valleys
A disappearing turn
How many battles must we fight
Before we start a war
How many wounds will open
Before the first blood falls
Once the banks are broken
Floods must surely come
Once the land rips open
Rivers of blood will run
Oooh whoo
How many rivers must I cross
Somehow
Somewhere
I will find a way
Oooh whoo
How many rivers must I cross
Somehow
Somewhere
I will find a way to cross
How many battles must we fight before
We start a war
How many wounds will open
Before
The first blood falls
Oooh whoo
How many rivers must I cross
Somehow
Somewhere
I will find a way
Oooh whoo
How many rivers must I cross
Somehow
Somewhere
I will find a way to cross

Blaze Of Glory
It's funny how they shoot you down when your
hands are held up high and you open up your
heart and sould but that's not enough for most.
I remember this much there is nothing you
shouldn't speak of if you've got something to say
and there is no one to be scared of jsut get them
out of the way. GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF
GLORY my heart is open wide you can take
anything you want from me there is nothing left
to hide GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY my
hands are held up high. I'm learning how to hit
back. I'm learning how to fight. THe law of the
jungle says that you look after yourself but I remeber
this much I love as I'd be loved myself. Don't
forget what I told you now when the question
keeps on coming and it's "How much more can
you take" when they've ripped you clothes to
peices "Shouldn't you be gone by now." But you
keep on GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
setting your sughtts for the sky. THey ocan offer you
anything at all but your dreams must not be sold.
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY no price is
hight enough. I'm fighting back with feeling I'm
fighting back with love. When the nails are biting
into your hands and the cross is heavy on your
heart now is the time to really make a stnad. MY
HANDS ARE EHLD UP HIGH
Declaration
Take this song of freedom put it on and arm yourself for the fight
Our hearts must have the courage to keep on marching on and one
Shout To The Devil
Son said the precher 'fore I break the news
Let me take you to the heart of this promised land
Built on the green hill far away
Where somebody cried where somebody died in the wind
You don't have to run to the palaces of gold
Those bricks and mortar one day must surely fall
And son you will look Monroe right between the eyes
And pray that somehow someone's goona come along
And save her, save her soul
SHOUT TO THE DEVIL SHOUT TO THE SKY
SHOUT TO THE GODS ALMIGHTY HIGH PREACHER TEACHER
It's in the hearts it's in the soul
Look no further than your own back yard
Live your life as it should be lived
Follow your heart for the truth is everlasting
And the wind runs cold in the blood of men
THe bread is dry, stale pushed into the back of you mind
And a senator's dream running wild today
And the bid duke's star in death
Still fighting off the hounds of hell
And we all fall short of the glory my friend
Even all the king's horses and all the king's business men
I've got a golden eagle flying high
But I and I still find it hard to keep the wolves at bay
SHOUT TO THE DEVIL SHOUT TO THE SKY
SHOUT TO THE GODS ALMIGHTY HIGH PREACHER TEACHER
It's in the hearts it's in the soul
Look no further than your own backyard
Live your life as it should be lived
Follow your heart for the truth is everlasting
IT IS FINISHED
Howling Wind
Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"Son, you shall reap whatever you sow"
I sow the seeds of my love
Deep underlying true love I sow
There is beauty out there somewhere
I will leave no stone unturned
There is a guitar and a bugle
I hears the sound of distant drums
Fire and water rage through my mind
Love on this wasteland I cannot find
There is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild wind is blowing
Tearing down my tears
There is virtue truthn abounding
Peace will come to every mane
There is a landmark on the skyline
There is a sign standing in the road
Sail on my brother sail on through the night
Love on this wasteland is waiting on down the line
Forty days in the desert sand
Forty nights on my hands and knees
Forty days the howling wind
Love on this wasteland holds no dominion
I refuse to lay me down
On the grapevine comes the saying
"Son, you shall reap what you sow"
I sow the seeds on my love
Deep underlying true love is what I sow
There is a HOWL HOWL HOWLING WIND
A ringing around my ears
And a wild wild windis blowing
Tearing down my tears
Sixty Eight Guns
And now they are trying to take my life away
forever young I cannot stay, on every corner I can
see them there. They don't know my name they
don't know my kind. They're after you with their
promises. they're after you to sign your life away.
For living in the backstreets that's our home from
home. the painted walls are all we've ever known
and "The Guns Forever" that's our battle cry. it is
the flag that we fly so high and every day they try
to drag us down but I cry with anfer I have done
no crime. For up no the terrace I can hear the
crowd roar and down in the subway I can hear
them whisper and through all the ragin glory of
the years we never once thought of the fears fir
what we'd do when the battle cry was over.
Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you
when you're young but have no illusion and no
disillusion the Sixty Eight guns will never die
THE SIXTY EIGHT GUNS IS OUR BATTLE CRY
The Deceiver
You are the power and the glory
You are the weakness in defeat
Like the rise and the fall of the British EMpire
You make me sick with your conceit
You are the weakness
You are the sickness that's in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you're cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
You are the maker of illusions
You break up every dream we've ever made
And as I rise up from the ashes
You raise your ugly head you have no shame
Too long you have lain there
Too far too long too strong I will break you hold
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you're a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
You sow the seeds of our destruction
You break up everything we've done
You hold you hands out for forgiveness
You bite the hands the hands that feed
You are the weakness
You are the sickness that's in my soul
You are you are you are the maker
You are called greed and you're a cheat
You are you are you are the deceiver
You are not welcome in my life
Tell Me
And if you know what is the answer
Why don't you tell me
What does it feel like to be set free
And if you've found
What you think you've been looking for
Don't look back Because you won't find nothing anymore
Take a look at the punks
One the run from all the ministers
Collecting for the criminals
And the judges or the blame
It doesn't mattere if you're innocent or guilty
Or you've never been given a chance
You will never find an answer
When there's always onre more link in the chain
The Stand (Prophecy)
Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn
For the hero is returning gotta welcome him to his house
Don;t say I didn't warn you the prophecy is coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering riding over the hill
COME ON DOWN AND MEET YOUR MAKER
COME ON DOWN AND MAKE THE STAND
Third Light
Your head on my shoulder Two months you've been a soldier
I feel so sick insde, two months and you've been alive
No one here knows your surname. no one knows from where you came
The red cross takes you to your grave for which the government kindly pays
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name
Here I stand by your graveside the steel helmet lies upon your cross
THey said you died for king and country but that's no comfort to the live
you've lost
FIRST LIGHT, the sniper saw you. SECOND LIGHT, took careful ain
THIRD LIGHT, he pulled the trigger on the gun dead dead dead
WHITE CROSS upon the hillside there lies that unknown soldier
No one can remember your name
SO here begins the human harvest
Another war to end all wars
To give a life for rhyme nor reason
There are no words to justify the cause
So if our future lies in the scarlet fields
Who would be a patriot at the price of humanity?
WHO WOULD BE A PATRIOT AT THE PRICE OF HUMANITY?
We Are The Light
People
Light up you light tonight I want to see you shine
Fight despair
Don't let it get you down don't let it tie you down
There's a man with a wife and three children
He's been told he can't work
There's a boy who's been told there is no future
He's been fed by the blind
And I can hear them crying as the try to sleep through the night
I can hear them cry I can hear them cry
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUR LIVES
Hold on
To what you believe is right don;t let anyone turn your eyes
Look ahead
Don't stop to look behind the past ain't no friend of mine
There's a failure who's standing on the corned
For he cannot see hope
THere's a blind man who's standing at the crossroads
For he cannot see light
And if we fire the candles we must make sure they burn through the night
For if they should die there'd be no light
WE ARE THE LIGHT
WE ARE THE LIGHT OF OUT LIVES
Where Were You Hiding When The Storm Broke?
Born into a war and peace
Forced to choose between right and wrong
Each man kills the thing he loves
For better or for worse
Face to face with a ragged truth
Mixed up and torn in two
Turned you back on the only thing
That could save you from yourself
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
After all time building up
Comes inevtiable knocking down ONE BY ONE
Comes receivers liars gamblers
Pick pocket entourage TWO BY TWO
Selling out is a cardinal sin
Sinning with a safety net
They say all things come in threes THREE BY THREE
Here comes the third degree
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
All cards are marcked
All fates will collide
The truth is the truth
Or the truth is surely a lie
Get back in your shelter
If you can't come down off the fence
And one more question
Where were you?
WHERE WERE YOU HIDING
WHEN THE STORM BROKE
WHEN THE RAIN BEGAN TO FALL
WHEN THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING STRUCK
AND THE RAIN AND THE FOUR WINDS DID HOWL
Eye Of The Hurricane
(The Alarm)
Mission bells ringing out from Kingdom world
Our loved one cries on the hillside
The winds from the north
Blow the sea to the shore
I walk away
In the faithful moonlight
Love forsaken land
Love forsaken man
For God`s sake don`t look back
Into the crusifix night
The storm of the cross
I live to love
Again and again all my life
Ooh eye of the hurricane
I walked away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
The pupular hill
Looks plain from where I stand
The waters are calm
And onto my shore
I can cry no more
As the bone dries up
There`s a river of tears
Flowing down to the sea
I`m a desolute soul
On a desolute shore
Destined to walk alone
Into the crusifix night
The storm of the cross
I live to love
Again and again all my life
Ooh eye of the hurricane
I walked away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
Hurricane
When will I see you again
Hurricane
When will I see you again
Will I see you again
Will I see you again
Whooo
I`m a desolute soul
On a desolute shore
Destined to walk alone
Into the crusifix night
The storm of the cross
I live to love
Again and again all my life
Ooh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
It`s in the eye of the hurricane
All my life
Ooh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
It`s in the eye of the hurricane
Face to face
Hurricane
Hurricane
Newtown Jericho
(MacDonald / Peters)
See them run
Like carridges
In paintings
Turn us
Frightning shame
Industrial
Inside a nation of
No escape
There`s no escape in my frightened face
As we run
Run run
And turn to stone
Oooh Lord
Hear me now
We fight first out
In a Newtown Jericho
Oooh Lord
We`ve heard the sound
Of helpless souls
In a Newtown
Jericho
See them fall
The Rebecca bride
That dawn
That she comes
Ghosts and thorn
Walk into reclame and I fall
No reward
There`s no reward my daughters adored as we run
Run run
And turn to stone
Oooh Lord
Hear me now
We fight first out
In a Newtown Jericho
Oooh Lord
We`ve heard the sound
Of helpless souls
In a Newtown
Jericho
Ooh I`ve been down watched the crying there
On my knees I`m dying
A frozen track cross the city walls
Upon a wooden halls
Walls
Walls
Walls
There`s
A
Jericho
Oooh Lord
Hear me now
Fight first out
In a Newtown Jericho
Oooh Lord
We`ve heard the sound
Of helpless souls
In a Newtown Jericho
Jerichooo

Whoo ohoo hoo
One Step Closer To Home
(Sharp)
Back in `75
When the kid was on the line
And he left no pain
`Cause there was none
He would bend in the wind takin` anything
Like sniffin` roses
And it was alright
Until he fell
And cut his hand
He just could not
Understand
He ran away
Blame pretence for defence
Or plain innocence
Said it was alright
The harder it fights
I`m one step closer to home
The deeper it bites
I`m one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can`t give in
`Till the sky turns black
I may get lost
I`m one step closer to home
Ooh yeah he ran
Hitch rides travelled lights
Left his bags behind
Said he lost down
He said
That`s OK
I`ll get money and a smile
From place to place
And they don`t mind
I`ve had the heads
Of businessmen
And I just give them
Right back again
I got no need for device
Disguise
Or plain compromise
Said it`s alright
The thougher it gets
I`m one step closer to home
The more that I sweat
I`m one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can`t give in
`Till the sky turns black
I may get lost
I`m one step closer to home
There ain`t no need for this
At all at all
Surely you could help me out say
I know a lot of people
Just like you
Plenty to live for
And nothing to lose
So tear it all down
Smash it all
Break it all down
And then just stop
Build it up
Build it up
And a build it up
And you build it up
Build it up
Right now build it up
Aaah build it up
Build it up build it up build it up
Up up up
And the thougher it gets
And the more that I sweat
And the harder it fights
And the deeper it bites
I`m one step closer to home
The harder it fights
I`m one step closer to home
And you can tie my hands
Or whip my back
I can`t give in
`Till the sky turns black
I may get lost
I`m one step closer to home
Only Love Can Set Me Free
(MacDonald / Peters)
Lead voc: Choir:
Somewhere in this world
I know that love exist
I`ve known the images
Sometimes in my sleep
I`ve been searching for more than these glimpses
For nothing less
Only to an excuse
There is a light
A light that never dies
Oh no
See the shine
Shining in my sorrow
There is a light
A light that never dies
I`m all alone now
The crowds have all gone home
There is a silence
Silence in my world
I wish that every moment could be peaceful
I guess that`s something
I can only pray for
There is a light
A light that never dies
Oh no
See the shine
Shining in my sorrow
There is a light
Light in my desire
See it shining
Shining for tomorrow
Only love
Can give me the answer
Only love
Ooh I know
That love can be
Only love
From the dust
A new hope rises up
Only love
Can set me
Can set me free
This world is crashing down in oh so many ways
I get so scared
Scared and so alone
I`ve had my desire live on this life and outlook
You say that`s nothing
To me it`s everything ooh
There is a light
A light that never dies
Oh no
See the shine
Shining in my sorrow
There is a light
Light in my desire
See it shining
See it shining
Shining for tomorrow
Only love
Can give me the answer
Only love
Ooh I know
That love can feel
Only love
Open the doors
A new world rises up
Only love
Can set me
Can set me free
I need a friend
Someone to turn to
Someone to turn to
In my hour of need
Someone
Someone
To give me an answer
Someone
Someone
To give me
The love I need
Only love
Can give me an answer
Only love
Ooh I know
That love can feel
Only love
Open the doors
A new world rises up
Only love
Can set me
Set me free
Oooh set me free
Only love
Can give me an answer
Only love
Ooh I know
That love can feel
Only love
Open the doors
A new world rises up
Only love
Can set me
Set me free
Oooh set me free
Only love
Can give me an answer
Only love
Only love
Can set me free
Only love
Only love
Can give me an answer
Presence Of Love

And you are silver you shine white light
The second heaven`s sacred
And you are sacred of pure soul
The third heaven is pearl
And your name is forever written

Strive for the pleasure
And the pain
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
The fourth heaven is white gold
And you cry white golden tears
The fifth heaven is holy
You are the angel of sweet mercy
The sixth heaven is of ruby
Of the wind and of the earth
Ooh don`t walk away

Strive for the pleasure
And the pain

Of love
I don`t wanna die
In a hell on earth
In the valley below
In the pain and the hurt
In the sea of danger
Drowning me
There`s a ray of hope
And I`m walking in the prescence
Of love
I`m walking in the seventh
Heaven
I`m alive with the agony the ecstasy
Strive for the pleasure
And the pain
I`m walking in the prescence
Of love

Of love
