And if my thoughts had wings I'd be the bird that sings I'd fly where love isn't shy And everyone is willing to try And if we had the time And time's so hard to find I could believe what you say Start sending those shadows away And if you know who you are You are your own superstar And only you can shape the movie that you make So when the lights disappear And only the silence is here Watch yourself, easy does it, easy does it, easy while you wake And if you know who you are You are your own superstar And only you can shape the music that you make So when the crowds disappear And only the silence is here Watch yourself, easy does it, easy does it, easy while you wake
Oh, when I was a small boy Well, I could see the magic in a day Oh, but now I'm just a poor boy; Well maybe it's the price you have to pay If you lock your dreams away If no-one wants to listen What's the story? I wish I'd been a minstrel Just think of all the maidens I'd recall Oh, I wish I'd been a gypsy Then maybe I could read the crystal ball 'Cause surrounded by these walls Just makes me feel uneasy I said: Hey, Sister Moonshine Won't you send me a little sun? I said: Hey, Sister Moonshine I'm a stranger to ev'ryone So make us all laugh, make us all cry Make us all give, make us all try Give us the secret show us the lie We'll strike up the music and light up the sky Oh, if I was a lion Well I could be the king of all the plain Oh, and if I was an eagle Well maybe I could fly above the rain Fly above the pain But I know I'm only fooling I said: Hey, Sister Moonshine Won't you send me a little sun? I said: Hey, Sister Moonshine I'm a stranger to ev'ryone Make us all laugh, make us all cry Make us all give, make us all try Give us the secret show us the light We'll strike up the music and light up the sky I said: Hey Sister Moonshine I said: Hey Sister Moonshine

...I want to tell you something, listen to me! I'm trying to say I'm better than you, I am only what I am... We must not stand still For the night is coming Every man, every woman and child Everybody help me...

Mary, tell me what I'm living for 'Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river Have you a son to deliver? I say, Father Washington, you're all mixed up Collecting sinners in an old tin cup You tell the children what they need to know But will they listen when it's time to go? Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up Collecting teardrops in a paper cup Can someone tell me what I need to know? Can someone help me to get on with the show?
If there's no way of knowing, where's the answer? You should know if you need me by now Tell me how You saw me in the first place; Who'd you think I am? How can you be so two-faced? And tell me where I stand Yeah, we've been here once before I see you by the door; You said you knew an all night party Yeah, you know you just can't lose; All you have to do is choose; Let me in on where your heart is You ain't nothing but another man's woman A-livin' on another man's land At night I hear the hound dog callin' A-callin' me a cheatin' man I tell you somethin', I need good lovin' But you don't understand At night I see your cannonball comin' To blow me to the Promised Land If there's no way of showing where your love lies Is it me, is it him, or no-one What will be done? How 'bout the mess you made me Or don't you give a damn?

I'm so helpless, can't you see Did you cast a spell on me? Say you love me, please I'm praying You ain't nothing but another man's woman A-livin' on another man's land At night I hear the hound dog callin' A-callin' me a cheatin' man I tell you somethin', I need good lovin' But you don't understand At night I see your cannonball comin' To blow me to the Promised Land

Can you believe me when I say There's nothin' I'd like better Than just to sit here and talk with you? Although I'll rant and I'll rave About one thing and another The beauty of it is (hope you'll agree) Though I'm a poor boy I can still be happy As long as I can feel free So many people I know gettin' old way too early (Well, are you feelin' kind of weary?) Just to impress you with the money they've made (You'd better, you'd better, you'd better change your theory) One drop of rain they complain And it's the same about the wage they're earnin' Well that is not the way I'm gonna be Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Well let us state our only point of view Why can't we all afford to live like you? This simple life is simply not enough We have appearances we must keep up Poor boy If that's the way it's gotta be (Poor boy) It's you for you and me for me I try all I can understanding all the fools And all their money When half of what they got You know they never will use Enough to get by suits me fine; I don't care if they think I'm funny I'm never gonna change my point of view Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Always – na, na, na Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me
Ooh, woke up crying With a break of dawning; I looked out at the sky The air was still Yet all the leaves were falling Can you tell me why? Well, I just don't know the reason I don't know what to say; It just seems a normal day And I've got to live my own life; I just can't spare the time 'Cause you've got strange things on your mind Well, I just feel That ev'ry minute's wasted; My life is unreal And anyway I guess I'm, I'm just not rated Leastwise, that's how I feel Well I just don't know the reason I don't know what to say; It just seems a normal day And I've got to live my own life; I just can't spare the time You've got strange things on your mind I eat a lot Sleep a lot Passing the time of day; Maybe I'll find my way Who am I kidding? Yes, it's just myself
Just look at the comfort that you call your home Just kidding yourself that you're never alone Well maybe there's something, there's one thing you shouldn't have said So you better beware And you'd better get, and you'd better get light in your head And you'd better get, and you'd better get peace in your bed If you wanna get, if you wanna get high You're watchin' the movie go blistering by Just look at the sadness, I wish I could cry Well maybe there's something, there's one thing that I should have said Well it better be said It's the beckoning, it's the reckoning holding your heart It's beginning to, it's beginning to squeeze you apart; Don't you wanna get, don't you wanna get high? You're holding the world in the palm of your hand What you're tellin' your children you don't understand If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is Meaning is, meaning is, meaning is… Oh you better beware And you'd better get, and you'd better get light in your head And you'd better get, and you'd better get peace in your bed If you wanna get, if you wanna get high Just look at the madness that glows in your eyes You're frightened your children will steal your disguise If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the answer is If you know what the answer is If you know what the answer is If you know what the answer is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is If you know what the meaning is…
Look at me, I'm a speck of sand And I'm building dreams in a strangers land Tell me, why do I care? Tell me, why do I care? Ev'ry time that I'm feelin' down Well they pick me up and they spin me round Tell me, where do we go Tell me, where do we go from here? What are we gonna find out What are we gonna find out In the wilderness That this loneliness brings? Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us I'll carry on Won't you hold me? When is man gonna find out When are we gonna find out What the universe Is just waiting to hear? Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us Just as long as there's two of us We'll carry on
