Promised Land
(hicks / lynch)
Where where is the promised land
Where where is the promised land
It cant be found in viet nam
It cant be where the eagle has landed
If we want peace for every man
Weve gotta make the world demand it
Now I see the flag is flying
Weve got to help them stop the dying
We must bring back the soldier boys
We mustnt let them die for nothing
Wars a better game when played with toys
Lets change the game and lets start loving
Soldiers never fight alone
Theres just as much fighting going on at home
Protests, violence, marches
Its all going on at home
Bring them all back home (repeat)

When You Gonna
Rick & lisa (astley & carter)
[rick]
Love is a special thing
It means more to me than just a wedding ring
When two people join as one
They dont know just what has begun
It comes to love, honour, cherish and obey
You promised girl that you would not go away
When you gonna come back home girl
You know Im all alone, girl
When you gonna come back home
When you gonna come back home girl
You know Im all alone, girl
When you gonna come back home
[lisa]
Love is a precious thing
So cant you see the joy that it can bring
So how can you be so cruel
Youve gone and broken every rule
You promised to love, honour, cherish and obey
You promised me youd never go away
When you gonna stay at home boy
You see I was alone, boy
When you gonna stay at home
When you gonna stay at home boy
You see I was alone, boy
When you gonna stay at home
[rick]
Loves got a hold on me
I need you girl, cant you see

Never gonna be alone, no
You see I should have known
Never gonna leave you home

Games Of Power
(nick feldman)
I dont wanna play these games of power
I dont wanna fight this war no more
Dont wanna twist the knife
Just wanna better life for me & you & me & you
Chorus:
Is this what you call love
Is this what weve been fighting for
Is this what you call love
There must be so much more
Is this what you call love
Forget old scores we should be making love
Not war
Make love not war
Gotta try to break this vicious circle
Gotta find the love weve nearly lost
Its time to stop the pain
Weve played the blaming game for far too long
For far too long
Repeat chorus
You hurt me then I hurt you a bit more
Is this the love to end all the wars
We gotta escape this no mans land
And throw away all our battle plans
Oh yeah all right...
Oh yeah all right...
Oh yeah all right...
Oh yeah all right...
Is this what you call love
Is this what weve been fighting for
Is this what you call love
Is this what weve been fighting for
Is this what you call love
There must be so much more
This fight is not for us
Forget old scores we should be making love
Not war
Make love not war
Forget old scores we should be making love
Not war
Make love not war

Hungry Again
The thrill, the desire, the excitement is gone
We seem to have found a safe comfort zone
We worked so hard to get where we are
That romance got lost on the way
It used to be never enough
Wed melt with each look and each burning touch
We laughed and we loved and we just ate it up
Back when we were hungry that way
Chorus:
Lets love like were hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, we forgot what it meant
Lets love like were hungry again
Dont you miss those feelings we had at the start
And that fire that got started from each little spark
Oh its good where we are, but I miss where weve been
Lets love like were hungry again, now and then
Lets love like were hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, now weve grown too content
Lets love like were hungry again, now and then
Lets love like were hungry again

Coming Home
Ive not been home
For so many years
And I did not regret being gone
Please tell me when did we talk
And when did we show
That we do care for something called love
Oh no, dont you despair now
Im as grown up as can be
Cant you forget everything
And this time listen to me
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - why dont you help me
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - why dont you love me
Its time to remember
What weve done together
I guess it is more than we know
And we should be open
And turn back the wheels
As far as we can go
I know I am your son
And everything else dont seem real
I want you back like never before
I cant take another goodbye
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - please, cant you be there
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - please, dont you leave me
Whats dones done - Im your son
Ive been hurt by your lies
I want peace after all
Thats why I want you to let me come home
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - lets fight together
Im coming home - home
Im coming home - Ive so much to tell you
Home - Im coming home
Im coming home - time heals the scars of the past
Im coming home
Im coming home - to be by your side
Im coming home - Im coming home
Im coming home - Ive so much to tell you
Im coming home - Im coming home,............

War Is Over
Old soldiers talk about the battles fought
To build a better world for me and you.
They sacrificed their lives to make a dream come true.
Now theyre forgotten men remembered by so few.
But the war is over and the fighting ended many years ago.
The war is over. the battles won but what is there to show?
Side by side they marched together fighting so their children
Could be free,
To build a better world, a new society
All classes unified to live in harmony
Now the war is over so lets forget and leave the past alone.
The war is over, its time for all the soldiers to go home.
Rich men, poor men make history,
Fighting for the land of hope and glory
A nations voice will sing as one,
A battle cry until weve won
The was is over and the patriotic comrades are no more.
The war is over
Now theyre going home to live just like before.
Arm in arm we sang our patriotic songs of love and sentiment.
Tears of joy to hide the sorrow,
New tomorrows till we meet again,
With a new world to build well say auf weidersein.
What did they do for us?
What did it prove to us?
As we stand beside the silent grave
The unknown soldier cant be saved.
The war is over
The war is over, its time for all the soldiers to go home.
The war is over.

World Wars
Soldiers Fight. Enemies Fight Back
World Wars Come To An End.
The Loved Ones Go And Fight For They're People.
They Shall Fight For Land
They Shall Fight For Glory
They Fight For The People That Live.
They Shall Not Let Anyone Down
They Must Do Much As They Can.
The Soldiers Fight.
The Soldiers Protect.
Once One Soldier Dies, Others Soldiers Die
they must bring peace to the land they protect.
We Remember The People Who Went To War.
Some Of The Families Lost A Member In War.
Some Of The Families Didn't Lost A Member In War.
In War, It's Hard To Survive In War.
You Gotta Be Strong And Brave.
The War Is All About The People We Care About And Keeping Enemies Away.

The Defector
Orbison/dees/angie morrow
It's the bonnie and clyde days
Where the girls wear curls and lace
And the boys can't stand the pace of war
It's not the war but the cause the country's fighting for
The seed of discontent is sown
They're burning card back home, back home
The old folks just can't ignore
The posters with ink anymore
I'm not sure what to think
Now i wonder why i'm on this foreign shore
To find peace of mind
For now i walk alone
Amd it's no better to leave than stay
And give more than i had to give
My life was not my own the wife i've never known
I may never know i may never go back home
To the land of the free, back home
To the land of the free back home
Would there be a place for me back home back home?
Well i always wonder why
Will they take me when i die back home

Nervous
Why I am so nervous
Please explain to me
Why I cant sleep
I close my eyes to shelter
In the dark I try to hide
If you leave me on my own
Im worried I could lose my way
In my mind confusion
I see you everywhere
But we dont speak
I try so hard to touch you
But youre always out of reach
If you walked right by
Would I see in it your eye
Would you turn away
Seems to me
Ive been a long time
On this road
Has there been a sign
Another way
And Ive passed it by
I dont know what it is that drives me on
Gotta keep movin
Gotta keep movin on
Bring it on home
Lets bring it on home - your love
Bring it on home
Lets bring it on home your love
Bring it on home
Lets bring it on home your love
Down parallel lines
Dont question faith
Dont answer lies
Tell me why Im nervous
Please explain to me
Why I cant sleep
Please explain to me
Why youre always out of reach
If the water ran dry
Would I see it in your eye
Would you walk away
It seems to me Ive been a long time on this road
And I wonder why
Has there been a sign that points another way
And Ive passed it by
I dont know what it is that drives me on
Gotta keep movin
Gotta keep movin on
Bring it on home
(straight lines before my eyes)
Lets bring it on home your love
Bring it on home
(straight lines before my eyes)
Lets bring it on home your love
Bring it on home
(straight lines before my eyes)
Lets bring it on home your love
Down parallel lines
Dont question faith
Dont answer lies
You know you gotta keep movin
Bring it on home
(straight lines before my eyes)
Lets bring it on home your love
Bring it on home

Lets bring it on home your love

Day Is Done
Do you like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you like me
Then I think Im gonna to have to like you too
Well share our things
And have some fun
Then well say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
If you tell me
Ill tell you too
And well say the things
And do the things that lovers do
Well keep it to ourselves
We wont hurt no one
Then well say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
Well carve our names
On a tree
Then well burn it down
So no one in the world will see
And well make love
While we watch the flame
Then well walk away
As if we never had no shame
Now we must hide
To be alone
And we cant say
Our sweet things on the telephone
If we cant stop
What weve begun
We should say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
Do you still like me?
Well I hope you do
Cause if you still like me
Then I think Im gonna have to still like you
We shared our things
And had some fun
Now well say goodbye
And go back home when the day is done
Yeah, well say goodbye
And go back home while
We still have one
Lets say goodbye and go back home
Now the day is done

Fly To Me
Dont turn your back on me
Conceal and protect me
I need you to stop me
From reeling around
The times gonna come
When you no longer need me
But stay by my side til the sun has gone down
When I am an old man
And live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
As much as I want you
I cant hold on to you
When will you return to your old home again?
May love lie around you
Good fortunes surround you
You know where to turn to
When you need a friend
When I am an old man
And live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
When I am far away from the places weve known
Will all your love bring me home?
When I am an old man
And live by the sea
Will all your thoughts fly to me?
When I am far away from the places weve known
Will all your love bring me home?
Bring me home?

You gotta make isles, and thats it man. you gotta move back.

Where will you sleep tonight
Will you be alright
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Wont you make here your home so youll never live alone anymore, oh
We both took a ride on that merry-go-round
Weve seen a lot of faces of the same ole clowns
But lets not be a part of that continuous game
Lets start a new life that will never change
Joey, where are you going
Wont you take me along, your place is my home

Theres no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
True fortunes are deeper than the world is old so
Weve got to dig up and plant love again
Just dont let it vanish, no
And you settle

Bring On The Change
Here comes the angel of death
You may not remember her yet
Concrete all over her face
Child bride of the human race
Until you see life in the forest
Until you hear youve been abolished
Forget everything that you think youve been promised
Bring on the change
Sunscreen all over your face
Chatswood wasnt built in a day
Mysteries are in this game, I say
Shine on, take me away
Heads in the bank, hearts in the closet
Souls out to lunch, will soon be upon us
We believe everything that we see, lets be honest
And bring on the change
Lift up your eyes, look to the heavens
Could be a sign, or a seven-eleven
Some day well see everything theyve been selling
Bring on the change cmon, cmon
Bring on the change, I say
You gotta bring on the change

Give It Up
You come home late at night
You tell me its all right
But something must be wrong
I wanna hold you close
But your reaction shows
You keep me hanging on
Im tired of all your lies
Your silly alibies
Dont wanna play that game
If you dont know the rules
Ill send you back to school
You put a man to shame
Give it up, give it up

I know Im not the only one, only one
Maybe youre the lonely one, lonely one
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
cause I know you bring me down, bring me down
The lover of my life
What happened to our plans
Weve got a one night stand
Youd better let it be
If theres another man
Ill do the best I can
To bring you back to me
Give it up, give it up
I just wanna make it stop, make it stop
I know Im not the only one, only one
Maybe youre the lonely one, lonely one

I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
I didn't even start this stupid fight
Whatever the reason, killing don't seem right
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
The reasons and facts all tend to confuse
Fighting for land that I will never use
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
I'm tired of shooting and blasting and running
And killing and choking and falling and gunning
I don't wanna die

I don't wanna die
Through history soldiers can be heard
Shouting in pain the following words
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home!

Bring It Home
You can make it better in this world of sin
Wanna make it better, wrapped in arms of silk
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
So you wanna feel better, in your crazy heads
Learn to breath the air, drown away despair
You wanna swim oceans, and feel the sun
You wanna get closer to the one you love
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
Who's gonna bring it back
Who's gonna bring it back, bring it home
Who's gonna send it back
Who's gonna send it back, bring it home
So you wanna feel better, in this world of sin
Wanna watch the sunset turn from gold to pink
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
So you wanna feel better, cause it still hurts
Find yourself the answer, someone you can trust
You wanna climb mountains and reach the stars
You wanna lie next to the face you know
You're not alone, yeah
You're not alone
Who's gonna bring it back
Who's gonna bring it back, bring it home
Who's gonna send it back
Who's gonna send it back, bring it home
Bring it home, bring it home, bring it home

A Soldier's Prayer
This poem is written for our soldiers over seas. May God be with them all.
A Soldier's Prayer
By: Adam M. Snow
O' Lord my God I pray;
for I am far away;
on a land, not my home;
I'm on my knees and all alone;
as I fight for freedom and peace;
I ask, 'Let this bloodshed cease.
I am fighting a war;
on a distant foreign shore;
fighting for my family and friends;
hoping that this would soon end.
I bow my head to a flag-draped casket;
to a soldier, not a rank past private.
I pray for salvation for all soldiers dead and gone;
as I continue to fight through the red of dawn;
for I fight what I believe is true;
I am but a lonely soldier living for you.
Forgive us Jesus for we have sinned;
I now end this prayer O' Lord, Amen.

Lead Them Home My Dreams
Intro:
Lead them home
Lead them home my dreams,
My dreams
Verse 1:
Some people stand
Some choose not to understand
Some people fight (fight, fight)
Some people dream
Some people wake up
In the middle of the night
With the eyes of a tiger and a childs curiosity
Cant turn from my conscience when its starin at me
Chorus:
Lead them home
Lead them home my dreams
You can hear
When you disguise whispers as screams
(lead them home my, lead them home my...dreams)
Verse 2:
Some people climb
Some people wait for time to pass
Looking for a miracle (a miracle)
Some people could care less
Some people dwell on the impossible
And I always remember the times I let myself slide
And I put all the bad things like money
Far lower on the list than pride
Bring me home
Bring them home my dreams (lead the home)
Bring them home my dreams
(bring the home my, lead them home my)
You can hear, you can hear (you can hear)
When you disguise whispers as screams
(lead them home my, lead them home my)
Bring them home (bring them home, bring them home)
Bring them home my dreams
(lead them home my, bring them home my)
You can hear, you can hear when you
Disguise whispers as screams
(lead them home my, bring them home my...dreams)
Verse 3:
Wait a lifetime
Then my wish will drag on slowly
Come into ones own
At the time of conception (ooooo...)
Give in over time
You may as well change your mind
Now is when I see the light (I see it)
Im gonna touch it, grab it -
Make it mine.....
Bring them home.....
Bring them home.....
Lead them home (lead the home)
(bring them home my, lead the home my)
(lead the home, lead them home, lead them home)
Lead the home (lead them home)
Lead them home my dreams
(lead them home my, lead them home my)
Disguise whispers as screams - yeah!
Lead them home (lead them home)
Lead them home (lead them home)
Lead them home (lead them home)
Lead them home (ooooo...)
Lead them home
Lead them home my, my, my dreams.....
Lead them home my dreams
Bring them back to me
Lead them home my dreams
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa.....
