You Are The Reason
(Graham Russell)
Here's on the street
a tear in the seam
of pleasure and pain
Life carries on
a cloak of deceit
brings honour to shame
But the voice I used to know
(Where are you now?)
is the one I can't let go
Chorus:
You are the reason
my faith in tomorrow
A Distant horizon
the one I must follow
You are the first, You are the last
I'help you to see
the light in the dark
the sun through the rain
until you are free
and facing the truth
that words can't explain
But the truth I think you know(Tell me)
I could never let you go
Chorus
you are the future from the past
You are the spell that has been cast
You are the reason
my faith in tomorrow
A distant horizon
the one I must follow
Chorus
You are the first
You are the last to me
oom hm.....You are to me...You are

Bread And Blood
Graham Russell)
I'm not afraid of losing you or saying goodbye
If someone needs you more than me, I will understand why
I'd never stand between someone who's holding your heart
But I can't let a superstition tear us apart
Who has the right to speak fire from above
If heaven is away from you, that is the place I'll give up
For falling in love can't be taking these lips from the cup
CHORUS
Don't fill her mind with bread and blood
Don't confuse strength with pride and mud
I have a faith in love that's thicker than all bread and blood
I'm not afraid to face the truth of what I believe
If love was never menat to choose, it could never succeed
And we may always stand alone in everyone's sight
And be the judge unto ourselves between wrong and right
Who puts a price on eternity's sin
Who throws the first stone shall search for perfection again
For you are the reason that pleasure was taken from the pain
CHORUS
I won't see you cry, should it make you cry

Faith
(rick hahn, george thatcher)
Easy come and easy go
Hard to get a hold on
Searching for what you dont know
Blind to where you belong
Feel the power in your dreams
Vision in your sight
Nothings dark as it may seem
We can make it right
(chorus)
I have faith
In your love
I have faith
In your heart
You dont need to hide from what you want
Youve just got to give it all you got
The first thing that you need
You got to have faith
Truth hidden between the lies
We both know the chances
Nothing comes from compromise
Only strength advances
I will be here at your side
For everything you do
When the world tears at your pride
Ill be there for you
(chorus) when the worlds coming at you like a hungry alligator
You got to have faith
When youve got to pay them now or theyll take it from you later
You got to have faith
When you feel like the futures hiding on a distant cloud
You got to have faith
And you feel like shouting at the good lord out loud
You got to have faith
(chorus)
When you know that youre ready but the time is not right
You got to have faith
And you lie awake staring at the ceiling all night
You got to have faith

Midnight Wolf
Tell me what the rain knows
A distant shadow flickering along a white wall
No one there to make it
Where I go the rain does follow
Midnight wolf of fading shadows
For whom which do you cry?
Why do you follow me?
Why? Please tell me why!
Someday tomorrow the rain will cease to follow
I am the only one that dares to believe
I can only see what other's don't see
Oh midnight wolf of sorrow
You still will always follow
Why are you the only one who believe's in me?
Oh come time tomorrow
The rain again will follow
And I will be the only to see
Oh midnight wolf of sorrow
Come please, please do follow
For we are the only one's who see
That the rain is the knowledge of past and future profits
The profits that only we can see
Midnight wolf that follows
The rain the cries in sorrow
I hope you both will never leave me
So dear midnight wolf of flickering shade
Do tell me what the rain does say

One Reason To Believe
Lighting candles in the church of my choice, loving strangers in the dark
Looking for someone to give me what I lack
Searching for something 'till you showed me the gun in my back
I'm human and I need it, I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love, yeah
And I love you 'cause you showed me a merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave me the reason
Chorus:
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (to believe)
One reason (my baby), one reason
Trying to get faith from the eight fifty paperbacks
Hoping they'll show me the way (the way to what?)
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
She's trying to help him when she tells him it's all in his head
I'm human and I need it, I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love, yeah
I love you 'cause you showed me a merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave me the reason
chorus
I bow to the east or I kneel to the west, it's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it
chorus
(Solo)
One reason, one reason, one reason, one reason
I bow to the east or I kneel to the west, it's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it
One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (one reason), one reason (my baby)
One reason (that's all I need), one reason (to believe)
One reason (to believe), one reason (just give me one)
One reason (one reason), one reason (to believe)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (my baby)
One reason (my baby), one reason (my baby)
One reason (you are the reason), one reason
One reason (that's all I want), one reason (that's all I need)...

God Will Be Back
Between belief and non-belief
Battle the reason and faith
When one fails, the other takes over
Down on our knees, we surrender.
Faith in reason finds no reason in faith
An escaping belief in god's presence
All the testaments don't live up to the truth
When reason reigns, god makes no sense.
But then reasons can't bring solace
Rationality is hard and ruthless
When the fire brings tormenting pain
Reason flees and god soothes like rain.

You Are The Flower
You never lose a minute, if in it there is love
And old man time always pulls you through
Its better not to depend on the morning dew
For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you, hard and blue
Some folks take money, some take their life, some take forever to see
Blind faith, blind love, theyre no mystery to me
You must take the time, for thats the fee
Chorus:
Its worth the pain that makes the tears
Its worth the light of a million years
Only your love I cant explain, you are the flower for my rain
You light the sun that shines from my eyes
Its all in return for what youre givin me
You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet
And you kill the space that I call free
Chorus:
(instrumental break)
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain

Keep The Faith
I've seen the lightning flashing
Heard the thunder roll
I feel the cold winds blowing
Trying to conquer my soul
[Chorus]
If I just hold my peace
Let the Lord fight my battles
If I can keep the faith through the night
I hear the voice of reason
Telling me to fight on
Cuz I come to know I've come too far to turn around
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy is gonna come tomorrow
Though I go through the fire
I shall come out as pure gold
When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
If you just stand your ground
[Chorus]
When problems come just keep the faith
It won't be long until the day
Things will turn around if you just
If you just

Bring Out The Magic
(graham russell)
When all else fails and you have nothing
You know you really should believe in something
Take a look at what you have
To a dream thats not all that bad
Dont waste time with all your thinking
Wake up now your dreams are sinking
Making the change is up to you
Youll accept nothing less than the best
(chorus)
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Come, come, come on
Bring out the magic
Its much quicker than the eye
Its your mind and its there all the time
Say good-bye this is tomorrow
Make your mind up not to follow
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
(chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say
You can stay with me now
And tell me what you know
You can stay with me now
And tell me all you know
(chorus)
You can lead yourself away
Understand, you can have what you say

Live The Life
Preach the gospel to all the world, and if necessary, use words. -st. francis of assisi
Were passengers aboard the train
Silent little lambs amidst the pain
Thats no longer good enough
And when its time to speak our faith
We use a language no one can explain
Thats no longer good enough
And God knows its a shame
As we look to pass the flame
We are not the worthy bearers of his name
Chorus:
For the world to know the truth
There can be no greater proof
Than to live the life, live the life
Theres no love thats quite as pure
Theres no pain we cant endure
If we live the life, live the life
Be a light for all to see
For every act of love will set you free
Theres something beautiful and bold
The power of a million human souls
Come together as one
And each in turn goes out to lead
Another by his word, his love, his deed
Now the circle is done
It all comes back to one
For it is he and he alone
Who has lived the only perfect life weve known

Follow The Wind
I give, cause every road was tough
I give, cause I cant find love
So I live, its where I was
But in my darkness
You were there to light my way
Ill follow
Follow the winds into tomorrow
I trust where it leads me
And I know, that Ill blow home
I give, cause I tried and failed
I give, to choose someone else
No one lives here
Its what I tell my self
But like a compass you were there to point the way
Ill follow
Follow the winds into tomorrow
I trust where it leads me
And I know, that Ill blow home
Now that Ive come to know your love for me
No reason to look any further
Now that the sun has come and set me free
I will stand and take your hand
Ill follow (Ill follow)
Follow the winds into tomorrow (tomorrow)
I trust where it leads me
And I know, that Ill blow
Ill follow (Ill follow)
Follow the winds into tomorrow (tomorrow)
I trust where it leads me
And I know, that Ill blow home
(Ill follow)
Follow the wind into tomorrow
(tomorrow)
I trust where it leads me
And I know that Ill blow home
Ooh blow home

Is Anybody There?
(rick wakeman)
Producer for bonnie: rick wakeman
Recorded in 1998 (released 1999) for rick wakemans album return to the centre of the earth - a follow-up to his 1979 album journey to the centre of the earth. lyrics taken from the uk album sleeve.
Chorus 1:
Does anyone know my name?
Is there anybody there?
Youre as near me as you can ever be
Watching me
Watching me
Tag1:
Does anyone love me?
Does anyone need me?
Nobody knows my name
Takes my blame
Feels my pain
Chorus 2:
Does anyone care for me?
I just need a life to share
All my life Ive searched
For someone just like you
Is there anybody there?
Is anyone there?
Anyone there?
Verse 1:
I dont know why you make me wanna stay
cos theres no-one left to love
Im losing my life for a reason
Im losing my life cos of you
Tag 2:
Is anybody really there?
Bridge:
No-one waits for no-one
No-one cares at all
Nowhere left to hang around
No-one left to call
Patience is my virtue
By virtue of my shame
Broken pieces everywhere
Everythings a game
Where have all the people gone
That once were in my life
Why has everybody gone away?
Chorus 3:
Does anyone know my name?
Or does anybody care?
Theres a reason
Why I know I have to stay
So is anybody there?
Im losing my life for a reason
Im losing my life cos of you
I want to know youre out there just for me
Chorus 4:
Im tired of waiting here for you
Now Ive made up my mind
Youre no good
I dont need you
I dont care anymore when you cry
Im sending my love far away
With a piece of my heart
And a tear for each day
That I cried
So there must be a reason for living
There must be a reason for loving
Its all right
Its all right
Tag 4:
Will anyone really care
If I just walk away
With a tear in each eye
And a reason not to stay?
Does anyone really know me?
Does anyone really care?
Is there anybody there?

One more time
Play it again before you put your guitar down

Now that you got me dreamin
About the good times.
Come on girl
You said to me, lets fly away
Follow me wherever I will go
And we wont worry about tomorrow

So things go
And so you left, and we drifted apart
Sorrow came, built in my heart a home
And now Im thinking about tomorrow.

Cause I know the truth hurts {truth hurts}

What Happened To You?
Before you started tokin you used to have a brain
But now you dont get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
Man youre really losin it
And youve really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin it
What in the world happened to you
Its bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know thats something else
I say Im not that kind of person
Im not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life
Chorus
So Ill see you tomorrow
Youll be gackin up again
Ill see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just dont understand

Time For Change
I heard some kids telling me
How theyve lost all the faith in the way
Theyve been talking world peace
And the wars in the streets
(pre-chorus)
The lines on their faces so deep
A revolution, or reach out
And touch the day
Were overdue, child

Change
Now its time for change
Nothing stays the same
Now its time for change
I feel the the future in the hands
Of our youth will be safe
No more lies
Old, tired fools tell our future
With tarot cards, and lie of crime

Not tomorrow but today

Primitive Man
(graham russell/guy allison)
Oh where did it begin,
This desire in my heart
Born from out of the wind,
Left alone in the dark
Sow the desolate plain,
New horizons to share
All my eden divide,
Generations to share
(chorus)
Dont stop, it feels so familiar
Stay here and show me a new sunrise
You know I want you,
Can the innocent survive
And if I love you, can we touch to stay alive
For every reason, I will do the best I can
Daytime hunger, night is woman,
Primitive man
All the future is passed
With a wave of my hand
All direction is cast
From the woman and man

Christmas Never Comes
Talk about the heart of christmas,
Talk about the reason and the rhyme.
Talk about the sentimental feelings,
Talk about the candlelight and wine,
Talk about the children.
Listen to the voices singing.
Listen to the laughter as they play
But listen to the whisper of a heartbeat
Whose loneliness is never far away.
(chorus)
In some hearts its never christmas,
But its winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts its always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.
Dont forget the winters children,
Shadows on a star that never shines.
Looking for the love that never happened
Looking for the chris in christmas time.
The lonely voice,
That cant rejoice,
That has no choice.
(chorus)
In some hearts its never christmas,
But its winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts its always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.

In some hearts its never christmas,
But its winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.

For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.

The Voice Of Reason
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Tired and washed out by the pain
Do we share this problem, will it slip away?
Or do we fight another day?
Was I looking for a friend?
One I could on til the end
Is there something that I didnt do?
Does it all begin with you?
[chorus]
So how did I, oh I
Give you reason?
But how did I, oh I
Give you reason?
After all the fallen tears
When we wake the token dream
Who let the water slowly draw away?
All the colours we made
[chorus]
To give you reason, to change the rivers flow
To give you reason, to point the bone
To give you reason, to set your spirit free
I don't know, I don't know why
Is there nothing I can say?
Is there nothing I can do, girl?
Didn't mean to break your life
Didn't mean to burn your world, no
[chorus]
You can keep the silver band
You can have the memories, girl
Now as pilate cleans the hands
It's no more to do with me, no

Youre Only In Love
(graham russell)
I remember an evening so long
How your innocence sang
And the notes made me shiver inside
Like your honesty can
You asked me to please explain some things that seemed new
What was it that felt like pain, and cuts in two
(chorus)
Youre only in love, only in love
Where life is new and dreams come true
Youre only in love, only in love
To rise and fall and wait as we learn from it all
When conscience pulls you away and your destiny calls
Just follow your heart all the way,
Youll never need more
More than the burning light when evening must die
Youll never forget this night, or wonder why
(repeat chorus)
You thought that everything was just a lie
Now, after so much time, dont let this secret pass you by
