Too Close To The Sun
(parsons, bairnson, elliott)
There must be a thousand ways
Holding us within this maze
Every path we take leads us astray
Comfort me my only son
Till the day my work is done
Theres no earthly reason we should stay
And when the wind gets under these wings
You will feel what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk dont run
I dont want you flying too close to the sun
Turn your eyes towards the light
Steal away in silent flight
The skies are calling out to you and me
Over sea and over land
God protect us with your hand
Bring us safely to our destiny
And now the wind is under our wings
We can taste what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk dont run
I dont want you flying too close to the sun
God forgive his fall from grace
The sea conceals his resting place
Can we learn to stay behind the line
If we have the means to fly
Some of us will surely die
Being reckless was his only crime
And now the wind is under our wings
We can taste what freedom brings
Stay right by me, walk dont run
I dont want you flying too close to the sun

I Cant Look Down
(bairnson)
Another passenger
Your baggage thank you sir
I dont wanna go
What am I doing here
I feel so sick with fear
God dont let it show
I must control myself
You must control me too
Cover my eyes cause Im so high
I cant look down
Im scared to fly and Im so high
I cant look down
They say theyll care for me
But I would rather be
Both feet on the ground
What if the engine dies
These are no friendly skies
My heads spining round
Its all a twist of fate
But its myself I hate
Cover my eyes cause Im so high
I cant look down
Afraid to fly and Im so high
I cant look down
I must control myself
You must control me too
Cover my eyes cause Im so high
I cant look down
Afraid to fly and Im so high
I cant look down
I cant look down.....

Fall Free
(bairnson, elliott, parsons)
Whats the use of worrying
If well be here tomarrow
All we need to be is here today
Dont care if youre rich
Or if you have to beg and borrow
You can always find a way
Dive and breakaway
Fall free
Freedoms in the air
Its calling you
Your heart is there
Fall free
Blaze accross the sky
The perfect fall
The perfect high
Mother earth looks peaceful
As we climb towards the ceiling
We must be ten thousand feet or more
Hear the windrush screaming
While we fight to curb our feelings
As we stand beside the door
Let our spirits soar
Fall free
Freedoms in the air
Its calling you
Your heart is there
Fall free
Blaze accross the sky
The perfect fall
The perfect high

Blown By The Wind
(bairnson)
All along the shoreline
There are footprints by the sea
They head into the distance...
Then they lead right back to me
I made the break to freedom
Now Im following the dream
Youre never going to get here
If you hold the old routine
Now everything we possess
That fills our empty lives
Is only good for leaving far behind
We are blown by the wind
Just like clouds in the sky
We dont know where were going,
Dont know why
We just ride with the wind
And well drive through the rain
We dont where well get to
Or if well get back again
Call along the valley
And you just may find us there
I couldnt say for certain
Cause we may be anywhere
Head into the sunset
Or just wander out to sea
Wherever your heart leads you
Is the place youre meant to be
And someone who could be impressed
With ordinary lies
Could really use a little peace of mind
We are blown by the wind
Just like clouds in the sky
We dont know where well go,
But well get by
We just ride with the wind
And well drive through the rain
We dont where well get to
Or if well get back again
Now everything we possess
That fills our empty lives
Is only good for leaving far behind
We are blown by the wind
Just like clouds in the sky
We dont know where were going,
Dont know why
We just ride with the wind
And well drive through the rain
We dont where well get to
Or if well get back again

Dont Walk Away
Why do I say, dont walk away
Youll be the way you were before, when you dont want me anymore
Dont turn around, dont ever leave, a lonely room where empty days
Are gathering to meet me when youre gone, gone
How in the world will I go on
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay (dont walk away)
Chorus:
Dont walk away (dont walk away), dont say goodbye (dont say goodbye)
Dont turn around (dont turn around), dont let it die (dont let it die)
When shadows fall (when shadows fall), when day is done (when day is done)
All through the night (all through the night), all of my life (all of my life)
Dont walk away
Is it a dream, when will it end
When everything weve ever known has ended and Im all alone
Where will I go, where will I be, the feelings that Ive never shown
Maybe Ill find the answer when youre gone, gone
How in the world will I go on
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay
(dont walk away) all you gotta do is stay (dont walk away)
Chorus repeats 3x

One Day To Fly
(elliott, english)
Where does a dream belong
Locked in the mind on the edge of time
Like a ship lost in a storm
How do we find the key
Longing to see, through the artists eye
Maybe only birds can fly
The man must be insane who knows
A mind alive with images so strange
So close but never rode the sky
Watching the birds as they sail on the wind
Trying to figure out the reason why
Picturing wings held together with string
One day to fly
Someone said and I believe
Try if you dare, you can walk on air
A dream is all you need
A circle that takes you high
Lighter than air as the earth goes by
Through a spiral in the sky
The man must be insane who knows
A mind alive with images so strange
So close but never rode the sky
Watching the birds as they sail on the wind
Trying to figure out the reason why
Picturing wings held together with string
Just a charcoal sketch on canvas
Made them laugh but now they see
That the artist had a vision
That the wind could set us free
Its a bridge until tomarrow
Taking us beyond the sun
As the artist paints his picture
The storys just begun
Analyzing, criticizing
Fear of the unknown
Theorizing, visualizing
The road to take us home
If it takes forever
Someones gonna fly
We may never get to heaven
But still were gonna try
Watching the birds
As they sail on the wind
One day to fly

Who Am I?
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Im afloat in the ocean
Trying not to sick
Im a crack in the asphalt
You walk by on the street
Im a falling star you'll never see
The lash in you eye
The 'I' in team
So who am I
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Im the lesson you'll never learn
The sickness that was never your concern
Im the big suprise at the end of the night
The bridge in the gap
The corner of your mind
So who am I
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Im holding on
Yes I am careful what I wish for
I am the knot in your stomach
The phlegm in your throat
The message saying you're not home
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Dont say it will stay this way forever
Im afloat in the ocean
Trying not to sink

So Far Away
(bairnson)
We say welcome to the mission
Show us all what you can do
We need a man with vision
So we put our trust in you
And now we hope sincerely
That youll do the best that you can do
Oh for sure it wont be easy
And we will have to risk our lives
Some will try to break us
And cut us down to size
But jsut remember
There can be no consolation prize
Not in our eyes
Its a long way to go
We cant wait one more day
We need someone to light up the way
We may run out of time
Can you hear what we say?
Because heaven is so far away
Although time is getting short
Theres still some sand left in the glass
And now we have a living breathing
Rocket man at last
Its time to take a step
And nail our colours to the mast
No more talk of great adventures
When its movement that we need
It must be our intention
That we never loose the lead
So count us down to zero
And lets get up to speed
Were up and away
Its a long way to go
We cant wait one more day
We need someone to light up the way
We may run out of time
So believe what we say?
Because heaven is so far away
And so now they cry for justice
As if justice will be done
But the eye up in the sky
Was flying to close to the sun
The challenger has fallen
And the race has now been run....

Dont Stay Home
Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
Im only sayin this cuz I wish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration
I thinks its such a shame
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Oh how Id like to diffuse your time bomb anger
Its screaming danger danger this kind of world
Dont care if youre home so you better get some
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Everything Im sayin you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past christmas
I deserved to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
Hey dont break the mold kid just eat around it
Yeah thats what I did
Ill be running around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin youll catch me doin in any season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out
Biddy by by by by
Good-bye to the drout, yea
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home

Dont Go Far Off Pablo
dont go far off stay close
stay where you have always been
like the sun, for eons, never disappointing
sending its light and cheers
the moon, never haunting,
for eons sending its inspiraton
dont go far off stay close
make my day a blessing to have
and night a sanctuary to luxuriate in
dont go far stay close
let your laughters fill my day
and your breath, my breath
let the day brighten up with optimism
and the night a wonder drive for morrow
dont go far stay close
as close as the heart can be
because when you are gone
the days are as good as it is without
the sun and the night moon
and the beach without the water
to carress and serenade its love song

Dont Walk Away
I know what youre doing
You dont want to put the hurt on someone
Youve been trying to convince yourself
Youre better off if you just turn and run
But Im gonna hold on tight
Ive got a feeling
Youll only happen once to me
And no one, not even you
Is ever gonna make you wrong for me
Dont walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Dont walk away
Ill do everything to make you stay
Ive got to make a stand
Dont walk away
Im not afraid
Dont walk away
I dont know where youre going
But I know what youve got on your mind
And I think your fear is showing
You dont leave things like fear behind
And I hate to be the one
To break it to you that
Were only human after all
I can mend a broken wing
Ill give you everything I have
Dont walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Dont walk away
Ill do everything to make you stay
Ive got to make a stand
Dont walk away
Im not afraid
Dont walk away
You used to be the one
Who used to be so strong
What happened to your rationale
Your heart is on the line
It happens all the time
Dont walk away
Dont walk away
Dont walk away
Or are you looking for a price to pay
Is that your master plan
Dont walk away
Ill do everything to make you stay
Ive got to make a stand
Dont walk away
Im not afraid
Dont walk away

Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I cant believe Ive had this chance now
Dont let it go away
New, youre so new
You, youre new
And I never had this taste in the past
New, youre so new
My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
cause I never had this taste in my mouth
Oh youre not old
And youre not familiar
Recently discovered
And Im learning about you
New, youre so new
You, youre new
And youre consuming me violently
And youre reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac
cause I never had this taste in my past
Oh youre different
Youre different from the former
Like a fresh battery
Im energized by you
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I cant believe Ive had this chance now
Dont let it go away
Why am I so curious
This territorys dangerous
Ill probably end up at the start
Ill be back in line with my broken heart
New, youre so new
You, youre new
And I never had this taste in the past
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I cant believe Ive had this chance now
Dont let it go away
And I cant believe it
Cant believe it
Cant believe it
Cant believe it
Dont let it go away, this feeling has got to stay

A Man Could Get Arrested
(tennant/lowe)
--------------
Do it (do it do it do it do it do it...)
Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it...
Do it now do it now do it now do it now do it now do it now do it now
Do it (do it do it do it do it...)
Late on tuesday evening, such a commotion in the street
Someone broke a window, and someones head got beat
A wave of breaking bottles, crashed across the city street
And someone got arrested, for the breach of the peace
If you wanna walk (walk walk walk walk)
Dont talk (talk talk talk talk)
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna earn (earn earn earn earn)
Learn (learn learn learn)
How to do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
And if you wanna ride (ride ride ride ride)
Dont hide (dont hide)
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna stay (stay stay stay)
Dont say (say say say)
Prove it! (prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it)
How much longer are you gonna sit and talk to me?
You got so many problems and a split personality
You want to see a doctor before our love is tested
How much longer a man could get arrested?
If you wanna walk (walk walk walk walk)
Dont talk (talk talk talk talk)
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna earn (earn earn earn earn)
Learn (learn learn learn learn)
How to do it! (do it do it do it do it do it)
And if you wanna ride (ride ride ride ride)
Dont hide (hide hide hide hide hide)
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it)
And if you wanna stay (stay stay stay)
Dont say (say say say)
Prove it! (prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it prove it)
Youve got your health, youve got everything, thats what my doctor said
You may not have much cash, but youve got a roof over your head
Of course I said I loved you, not just cause you insisted
How much longer a man could get arrested?
If you wanna walk (walk walk walk walk)
Dont talk (talk talk talk talk)
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna earn (earn earn earn earn)
Learn (learn learn learn learn)
How to do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna ride
Dont hide
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it)
If you wanna stay (stay stay stay stay stay)
Dont say (say say say say say say)
Do it! (do it do it)
Do it! (do it do it do it do it do it do it)
Why dont, why dont we do it now?
Do it now?
Why dont, why dont we do it now?
Why dont we do it now?
Why dont, why dont we do it now?
Why dont we do it now?
Why dont we do it now?

Brother Up In Heaven
(bairnson)
A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But theres no release
Its strange here without you
And its so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
I still see his shadow
His laugh lingers on
When I dream, were all back together
When I wake, hes gone
Its strange here without you
This was not ment to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
And though we try to change the world
A flower when its cut will surely die
So why do men with so much hate
Destroy what they cannot create
While we all stand by
We will look back in anger
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me

If I Were You
The tenth of may
It seems so far away
When you and I were strangers moving close together
Sometimes it seems
Its almost like a dream
Driving across the country and the road is endless
If I were you
Dont wait until tomorrow
Id lead and wouldnt follow
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
The first of june
The summer came too soon
But from the day we met I knew youd never go away
Sometimes I feel
The passions not so real
Finding it strange to be together, not alone
If I were you
Id smile and close the door
Id never ask for more
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id say
If I were you go away
Fourth of july
With an independent sigh
I think the times arrived to take whats going to happen
Wise men may say
Its easier to stay
But if you are there Im only wasting time
If I were you
I know Id want to hurt me
It wouldnt disconcert me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away - today
If I were you - please listen
Walk away - dont stay
If I were you - believe me
Walk away - Id pray
If I were you - Id leave me
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Id leave if I were you

Dont
Dont walk too close, dont breathe so soft
Dont talk so sweet, dont sing
Dont lay oh so near
Please, dont let me fall in love with you again
Please let me forget all those sweet smiles
All of the passion, all of the peace, the heat, the pain
All those blue skies where your words were my freedom
Please, dont let me fall in love with you again
Too many times Ive cared too much
I stood on the edge and saw that you held my hand
And knowing too well I couldnt hide from those eyes
Please, dont let me fall in love with you again
Dont let me fall in love with you again

You Dont Have To Say You Love Me
(pino donaggio / vito pallavicini / english lyrics by vicki wickham / simon napier-bell)
When I said I needed you
You said you would always stay
It wasnt me who changed but you
And now youve gone away
Dont you see
That now youve gone
And Im left here on my own
That I have to follow you
And beg you to come home?
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
I cant help but love you
But believe me
Ill never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and so unreal
All thats left is loneliness
Theres nothing left to feel
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me
You dont have to say you love me
Just be close at hand
You dont have to stay forever
I will understand
Believe me, believe me, believe me

Show Some Respect
(t. britten, s. shifrin)
Producer: terry britten
Album: private dancer (84)
I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work
But I need you to make it work
Youve got to read the message, understand whats on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose it anytime
Weve got to show some respect
Weve got to learn to protect
Dont take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
Weve got to show some respect
But I believe in working, then I believe in a little help
Cause Im not a light unto myself
Without a thing of value, why settle for second best
We dont know whats up ahead
And we cant let ourselves forget
Weve got to show some respect
Weve got to learn to protect
Dont take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
Weve got to show some respect
For the things that I love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Dont let it walk out the door
Love follows everytime

Miracles Happen
If we just try
We can put it back together, you and i
And all the bad is blown away
I never said goodbye
Its the writing on the wall that makes you see
And its the saviour of my soul
And what I say that must be heard
With love in every word
(chorus)
Close your eyes, dont let go
Dont get lost in the falling snow
Always out of place alone
With someone youre not sure of
Broken wings, dont arrive
Its a storm but you still survive
Gonna take a miracle
So I go around believing you
Say goodnight, stay forever and
Nobody knows how much
I pray for you at night
And miracles happen...
Yesterday
There was nothing in my life worth living for
You were there when I was born
The very strength to carry on
A miracle has come
(chorus)
Hold on tight, call my name
Dont get caught in the midnight rain
Part of me believes in you
Youre someone Im not sure of
Dont look down, Ill be there
Like the wind in the cold night air
I can see a miracle
And through it all we rise and fall
Tear it apart and stay forever
I know where heaven is
And somewhere in-between
Miracles happen
(bridge)
Red, blue, black and white
True light, shine on anyone
Two hearts make it right
And all that love can change
(chorus)
Close my eyes, dont let go
Ill be lost in the falling snow
Always out of place alone
With someone Im not sure of
Dont look down, Ill be there
Like the wind in the cold night air
I can see a miracle
And through it all we rise and fall
We tear it apart, stay forever
I know where heaven is
And somewhere in-between
Miracles happen
Hold on tight, call my name
Dont get caught in the midnight rain
Part of me believes in you
Youre someone Im not sure of
Dont look down, Ill be there
Like the wind in the cold night air
I can see a miracle...

Not You Again
Oh, no, not you again
Please dont tell me
Youre here to stay
See I dont want to hear
Go away, go away
I like piano
I like to tv
Yeah I like my style, ya know, and I like to dream
I like color of the rainbow, they like to please me
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Ive told you before and Ill tell you again, and again, and again
Cant you get it thru your head
Youre not my friend
And Ive tried to be nice but now Im not going to lie
So I suggest you leave before I make you cry, bye
I like to be sulky
I like being vile
I like to make you angry, I like it all the while
I like to know that youre hated, it makes me smile
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
Why, why, why, why me?
Why, why, why, why me?
I like where Im living
I like my view
I like anyone who detests you as I do
So I must find everyone including me too
cause I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Im sorry
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you

I dont have to give a reason, if I dont want to
Hello? I said hello.
