If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

Yee, Of Little Faith
Why are you heading in the other direction?
Didn't you just hear it confirmed,
By those in leadership positions...
They are confident in their decision,
To ensure a satisfactory ending to all...
Who have endured and promise they do,
In succeeding to fulfill each and every need.
'Yes.
I heard exactly what was said.
However...
The key word 'YOUR' was missing.
Leaving 'THEIR' needs implied.
And I have learned to listen.
That is why I am heading in the opposite direction.
And...
Although I can not guarantee to succeed,
In fulfilling each and every need I have...
I know, without a doubt,
Where my focus will be.'
Yee, of little faith!
'Yo, of overdosed promised hope.
Later! '
Good luck?
'I'm glad you questioned that.
You took those words right out of my mouth.'

Heading For The Light
Ive wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
Ive rolled and Ive tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldnt see the sign that warned me, im
Heading for the light
Ooh - I didnt see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didnt know the mess I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I dont see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as im
Heading for the light
Ooh - my hands were tired
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I dont see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling, as im
Heading for the light
I see the sun ahead, I aint never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now theres nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light
Now theres nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

Heading South
Orbison/dees
I want to talk to folks back home again, to walk along a lonely country lane
To spend some time with that woman of mine, heading south, heading south
Things look bright and I feel alright yeah Im heading south
Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light,to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom
Under the cumberland moon heading south, heading south
Give me room to travel on my way to a place where dreams all fade away
Where the river flows and tobacco grows heading south heading south
Cause the sun is hot and people love a lot yeah Im heading south
Heading south to see the sun go down on camp fire light, to join the singing at night
Heading south to cotton rows and honeysuckle bloom under the cumberland moon
Heading south, heading south

Great Escape
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
You're holding on, you're holding on ...
I. The Last of You
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the high cloud-nine
Heaven number seven
Heading for the long goodbye
Uncurl the fingers that hold
Summon the strength to let go
Out of the tired world
Out of the upset
Into the sunset

Never Change
Someone's always tellin' me I'm no good
well I don't care what you say
someone's always givin' me a hard time
well I live day to day
someone's always puting me in my place
like I don't know where I am
so I'll just sit here in the corner
without any
direction
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
I understand that some things will
never change
never change
Someone's always kickin' me to the curb
well it's grindin' off my face
someone's always pushing me to the side
like I'm standing in the way
someone's always getting up in my face
like I don't know who I am
so once again i'm in the corner
without any
direction
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
I understand that some things will
never change
Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
understand some things will
never change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
understand that some things will
never change
never change
Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
understand some things will never change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
understand some things don't change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
understand some things don't change
Never change
some things never change
some things never change

Heading For A Fall
(hicks / clarke / nash)
You say that you want me
Ive no cause to doubt you
My friends tell me different thats all
They say that Im blind
But I know all about you
I know that Im heading for a fall
I know that Im heading for a fall
I seem to be hypnotized by all your beauty
A subject to your beck and call
Your arms magnetize me
When Im here beside you
I know that Im heading for a fall
I know that Im heading for a fall
Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time
Or am I wasting my time
What is it about you that tempts me and taunts me
I cant understand it all
If I try to leave you I know that youll haunt me
I know that Im heading for a fall
I know that Im heading for a fall

Change Directions
Change directions
I'm not happy; so I'm deprressed
That's the way it goes in my book
I'm the best or I'm the worst?
If anything could change,
The paint on my house
The program on my tv
The direction the wind goes
It has to be for the better
I don't see how
There could ever be
I worse paint color
I worse program on my tv
A worse direction for the wind
So please,
Owner, change the paint color
Boss, change the tv program
Earth, make the wind change directions
Make the wind change directions
Change dircetions

Quiet
Words & music by paul simon
I am heading for a time of quiet
When my restlessness is past
And I can lie down on my blanket
And release my fists at last
I am heading for a time of solitude
Of peace without illusions
When the perfect circle
Marries all beginnings and conclusions
And when they say
That youre not good enough
Well the answer is
Youre hot
But who are they
Or what is it
That eats at what youve got
With the hunger of ambition
For the change inside the purse
They are handcuffs on the soul, my friends
Handcuffs on the soul
And worse
I am heading for a place of quiet
Where the sage and sweetgrass grow
By a lake of sacred water
From the mountains melted snow

Our Chikangawa Forest
Our green sea, our Chikangawa forest
How beautiful you are in our eyes
Like our precious stone you glitter
from above
You are our hope in our frozen hearts
But where are you heading to?
From northern star but to the south
You stretch your hand
From eastern Nyasa but to the west is your head
From up and shine is aray
broadcasting words of arch smiles
Our Kamuzu dreamt about you
And walked over your grin soils
Yes, he planted you, Chikangawa
Our man made queen caressed in green
But where are you heading to?
Our rock today and tomorrow
Our source of rain now and next day
Our medicine today and near the future
Our only man made gavalnised in Africa
And slide in as asingle pine parade
But where are you heading to?
But solely you are in sweeping winds
Over you it blows and goes
On your leg cancer has engulfed
Yes, is our hatrege stinging you?
We hate you now, our flower of Africa
We hate your roles, and plung into your fresh
But where are you heading to?
Our man made green are you afraid, afraid of climate change?
To the right leg the bruises are seen
As we reduce you to some ages
But where are you heading to?
O' no! We need you the more
We need you for timber
We need you for paparwork
And build us with the eastern sky
O' yes, tie us while you are still alive
But where are you heading to?
Are you going with your dreamer man
Our president, how proud we're in him
and Chikangawa forest welcomed him
And said, my author plant me, plant me
But where are you heading to?
You are our pillow ever and ever
Our precious stone, embelded in our hearts
And we love you for your freshness
And inside you, we catch our air breath
With our bliss we still stand in Central Africa
But where are you heading to?

Hey Now (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun)
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night my image bends it's shape
I'll be written on the wind like you never set a street
Heading for the moon
I reach out (echoes) My pulse begins to race (echoes)
The crashing sounds are fears I never faced
Let them echo off these waves without us, brave as they once were
Heading for the moon
Oh look how we ride over the white
And shadows they chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind
Oh heading for the moon
Don't close your eyes or I might drift away
Under the night of never ending shapes
I'll be wishing of the blue
I'll still wanna send my stars
Heading for the moon
Oh look how we ride over the white
Shadows they chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind
Oh heading for the moon oh heading for the moon
Over the white
And shadows they chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind
Heading for the moon

Heading For The Moon
Dont close your eyes
Or I might drift away
Under the night
My image bends its shape
Ill be written on the wind
Like in every sailoers dreams
Heading for the moon
I reach out (echoes)
My pulse begins to race (echoes)
The crashing sounds
Of fears Ive never faced
Let them echo off these waves
With thoughts as brave as they once were
Heading for the moon
And, look
How we write
Over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
Dont close your eyes
Or I might drift away
Under the night
Of never ending shapes
Ill be wishing off the blue
Ill still wanna send my stars
Heading for the moon
And, look
How we write
Over the white
Shadows may chase from behind
But just put them out of your mind, oh
Heading for the moon
Ha ha
Heading for the moon
So dont close your eyes
Heading for the moon
Over the white
Your shadows may chase from behind
You might just put them out of your mind

Heading For The City
All my friends packing up,
Loading up their Volvo's
And their pick up trucks
Going down the road,
To try their luck
So spin that dream,
Go heading for the city
Roll that dice,
Say a prayer,
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city
Well I got a problem hear what I say
They're telling me I got to move away
I was happy here,
They tell me I can't stay
Now whats screaming rain is heading this way
For those who sleep and choose to stay
The game they didn't know
They had to play
So win or lose
We're heading for the city
So roll that dice
Say a prayer
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city

Change! Change! Change!
change! change! change!
everybody talkin' about change.
change your look,
change your luck,
change your politics,
change your religion...
change the country,
change the world....
change the day!
change your underwear!
loose change, pocket change,
winds of change, march for change....
but all real change begins within...
let's work on that,
and then everything else
will change in turn!

No Direction Home
Crawl upon the earth, scour the universe you know
Set my compass north, circumscribe the earth and go - no direction home
Whats my part in this, whats this dream I cant let go
Whats your weight of this, what d'ya want to see and who d'ya want to know
You've no direction home, no direction home, no direction
Feels like all is lost, there's nowhere left to go
Through the seasoned sands, cross the sky to the morning snow
Is there no direction home, nowhere left to go, no direction home

Can't Stop Now
Can't stop now (different than the version on reba live)
I can't say i didn't know what i was doing
I can't pretend things just got out of hand
I should of kept my distance
While i was still strong
But i got caught up in the feeling
Carrying along
But it's too late baby
I can't stop now
Well i walked right in with my eyes wide open
But i was blind when you told me you'd be mine
Just as soon as you were free
I should have slowed down
Before push came to shove
But i was already falling
Now too deep in love
And it's too late baby
I can't stop now
Chorus:
Can't stop now
Crazy heart running out of control
Can't stop now
I'll be falling apart somewhere down the road
I might be heading for a breakdown
But i can't stop now
Well i'm sitting here wondering
How i ever let myself fall
I keep hearing promises
But nothing seems to change it all
The love we made
Has got a life of it's own
It'll keep on going long after you're gone
Now it's too late baby
Can't stop now
Repeat chorus
I might be heading for a breakdown
But i can't stop now
I might be heading for a breakdown
But i can't stop now

Flexibility
If you can’t change the sun
Change the direction where you stand
River doesn’t go straightly to the sea
It flows following hills, valleys
Becomes rain, waterfall
but in the end always comes to the sea

The Great Escape
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)
Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday
Heading for the winter trip
Heading for the slide
Heading for the dignified walk away
Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that
Heading for the automatic overload
Standing in the open boat
Standing in the swing
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
Waiting to be recognised
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
Youre holding on, youre holding on ...
(I) the last of you
Just when I thought Id seen the last of you
You come here scratchin at my door
Your pain and angers in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still dont know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?
(ii) fallin from the moon
Dont ask me why Im doing this
You wouldnt understand
Youre asking the wrong questions
You couldnt understand
A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isnt far to fall
When youve fallen from the moon
Theres murder on the street
Im ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
I have fallen, fallen from the moon

Golden Age
All the screens are filled with heroes and losers
but the sky's still filled with stars
this junky palace might be on fire
til the winners lose desire
let it go let it go.
So tell me what you see
tell me what you hear
if it's the same as me it's the golden age.
Big brother tries to stitch and bend
but channel surfers find new friends
see freedom's silhouette increase
its time to claim that sweet release
let it go let it go.
I can see a purple patch of jacaranda
framed in eucalypt from this wooden floored verandah
heading past the watermark
heading for the hills
heading for the edge of time
heading for the thrills of the golden age.
Now tell me what you see
and tell me what you hear
if it's the same as me it's the golden age.
Now everybody's talking about the golden age.
