Hey There Amigo
Hey there Amigo I need some time alone
so walk away I'll call you on the telephone
Look there Amigo there's a little girl shedding tears
Go tell her all the words she hopes to hear
When I see that little girl smile again
when Amigo's love and help are on the way
When I see that she can see again
that the love she found is here to stay
Hey Amigo how can she end the hatred?
People killed her father in the war of man
Hey Amigo her mother ran away from home
she's gone now and no one understands
When she was in the foster home they kicked her out
she was never going to go to school
now she lives at the bench at the main street
and the life she lives is horrible and cruel

Times Have Changed
I've seen those smiling faces frown at me
and anger held out strong towards those laughing
but inside my own heart I am free
and thank God that I'm not the only one.
I've seen those people who have set the scene
and the men whom afterwards take the claim
and inside their own minds they know they cheat
thank God that I won't be led to that.
I've heard all my secrets told back to me
By men who overheard these secrets told
but of course these men have not been in my shoes
and have also had to bend and tie my laces too

Hard To Hide
They were once lovers
But they don't talk much anymore
It was too hard to suffer
Knowing there was no way to be sure
He tried to be gentle
He tried to be kind
but it was breaking her heart
it was breaking her heart
(Chorus)
and it was hard to hide
it was hard to hide
she couldn't hide it
sometimes it's hard to hide what
ever is on your mind
They met on the road
he was a traveler hoping to settle down
they found themselves a home
but soon his trucking job just stole him out of town
he headed down south
neath the borderline
and it was breaking her heart
it was breaking her heart
(Chorus)
She lost her patience
A face of anger covered with a mask
She spent two months waiting
and his growling truck came rolling back
and he asked her what is wrong
She said, "don't you care about our love?
You know it's breaking apart
you know it's drifting apart"
(Chorus)
Sometimes it's hard to hide what's seen in every eye.

Tearless Eyes
Standing there at my door
about to walk out of my life
you turn towards me with your tearless eyes
It doesn't matter
whatever I said
Don't give up now
There's still enough ahead
(Chorus)
For I have fought the battle was long
to gain your love that stayed so strong for the longest time
Tearless Eyes
And I will stay 'til you accept that I'll be here but don't you ever let
your feelings hide
Tearless eyes
You came out of the blue
you swept me off my feet
well I must admit I've fallen back onto my feet
don't be upset if you pass me by
when I'm out on my own someday I'm gonna see you cry
(Bridge)
Someday you'll be standing alone
Someday you will speak with your eyes
Someday there'll be nothing to show
Someday your luck is gonna get you down
(Chorus)

Across The Mountainside

Across The Mountainside
See all the pain
Hear them cries
Endless rage
Has gripped the times
Tomorrow's rain
Falls tonight
While we wait
'til day comes near
(Chorus)
Far across the mountainside
There's a hunger that cries
There's an echo that dies without any meaning
and as mutiny stands alone
someone's lost without a home out there
and their story will always be told
with no one believing.
There's a way
Out of here
But you'll never be free
From your fear
(Chorus)

Sultans Of This World

Sultans Of This World
I walk the streets in total confusion
where was my mind when yesterday
I was convinced it was an intrusion
of my soul held up for ransom
Everybody laughed out loud
and they told me it doesn't matter
for we are just the sultans of this world
We showed ourselves to be so strong
but often I questioned our fate
Would we be able to hold out long
when the blaze does come our way?
And the blaze will hunt us down
and hatefully steal our crown
for we are just the sultans of this world
And I know that I chose to be slow
during this day of confusion
I might as well get up and go
outside and watch the sun
but the blaze may hurt my eyes
for that is the reason I'll cry
when I recall that I'm a sultan of this world.

Never Run Away
I know I've been through pain my soul is scarred with sorrow
the day you ran away it has been written in them books
and shown to the world and told to every girl
that you should never run away from a loving man
It has just not been the same and I won't be here tomorrow
I'm taking the next train and every other thing you took
Will be shown to the world and told to every girl
that you should never run away from a loving man
When our love faded away you stepped underneath the shadow
while your mind said it was too late your eyes said nothing's wrong
and then you ran away my troubled mind leads me to say
that you should never run away from a loving man
I know I've been through pain my soul is scarred with sorrow
the day you ran away it has been written in them books
and shown to the world and told to every girl
that you should never run away from a loving man

The Lighter Side Of The Dark
She's a real good girl
with a complex in her pocket
She knows how to figure it out
when life gets rough
She makes love to everyone's wishes
She can't get enough
She can't get it all
(Chorus)
Oooooh She Sees
Oooooh She Sees
Oooooh She Sees
On the lighter side of the dark
like me
She can't smell trouble burning
through the winter night
and her basement clothes are worn with all her pride
She trusts nothing but her own shoes
She can't get enough
And she's lost inside
(Chorus)
She's a real good girl
under a cloud of corruption
She's gonna smile
when she's lost in the rain
Surrendering to something all the time
She can't get enough
Of her ball and chain
(Chorus)

Day Of Confusion

Day Of Confusion
The anger grew the arrows flew while he lay there quietly listening
Cries of terror and despair surrounded by his fear
Cascading through the corridors blinded by the swirls of dust
He's had many a day of confusion.
There's thunder crashing slashing through all the halls of silence
As he waits for every star to pour their light into light
His words that still have not been said "It's either faith or fate"
For he's had many a day of confusion.
The silence grew the day was through but the night was quickly refused
for the boy whose eyes had witnessed pain had grown accustomed to the dark
but as the sun drifts up the boy awakes from his mysterious encounter
and he gazed into his dreams with fearless eyes
The anger grew the arrows flew while he lay there quietly listening
Cries of terror and despair surrounded by his fear
Cascading through the corridors blinded by the swirls of dust
He's had many a day of confusion.

Maybe
Maybe baby's been too far away from home
swept her off her feet put her back on her throne oh yeah
Maybe steering clear from every guy she's known
but I bet you pretty soon she won't be all alone again
maybe been refused by everyone she loved but
deep inside her heart she knew they had enough of her
(Bridge)
You must admit there were kinder days
when you danced to the beat of your heart
but no one was around to share those moments
and as all those years in your life passed you by
you were waiting for a better man
waiting for just one more chance
while you watched each man ride away
into another girl's heart
Maybe baby's eyes are used to seeing pain
how her mother took away everything that she gained
Maybe she has felt all the blows that were thrown
by other people's minds from the opposite side of the road.

Everlasting Myth

Everlasting Myth
You're barely breathing when the night comes on you like an arrow
Let out a shout or two to dispel the silence
(Chorus)
Looking back at it now
The truth came down so hard
and the truth is something we can all do without.
There's someone there standing outside on the corner
An old friend of yours who used to court his soul
(Chorus)
He put his trust upon you now
and the truth hits you so hard
Maybe he's someone you can do nothing about.
Remember to laugh when you hear tomorrow's echo
Gone are the days when one could smile alone
(Chorus)
For the times are harder now
You can guess that there's little doubt
You'll catch me where you left me on this ground.

The Cure
And now I'm stranded out near nowhere
because there's something in the way
And when I'm nowhere
I've got nothing left to lose but maybe that's ok
And I'm running back home in the sun
And I'm running back home
(Chorus)
Ooooh - love's worth more than gold
but broken hearts are free
Ooooh - It's time to go for broke
you're the cure for me.
Let every man be his own Jesus
Take care of what he has to do
when nothing's rhyming when nothing pleases
Gotta trust my point of view
Gotta step to some higher ground
Tired of people seeing me down
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And I want you to know
that I want you to know
I am here at your command
And I want you to know
that I want you to know
Everything will go as planned
(Chorus)

Younger Than Yesterday

Younger Than Yesterday
Nobody really cares what may have happened to you
Forget about the people that remember you
Time stands still when they can't help but follow you
(Chorus)
Fall into the void
for tomorrow will soon be today
and everyone is younger than yesterday
All those voices in your mind have begun to cry
Forgotten souls have invaded your unstable mind
forcing you to boast of things you wouldn't try
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Although those outlaws in the distance
are swept away by fast talking fools
to the shores across the mountains
they will work hard with their tools
and escape what may only seem
a fate that lives through a dream
and the air is so thick they can almost taste their fear
All your followers are drunk and full of spite
in the meantime you find out that something just ain't right
You think twice about where you might have set your sights
(Chorus)
Well the time will soon be gone
and vanish from your hands
as you gaze up from underneath the starlight forever
