This Island Earth
When will we know love?
When will we listen to heaven above?
And how will we return?
Someone said that weve been tempting fate
But I believe this song just wouldnt come if its too late.
Chorus:
When will we see a light upon the ocean.
Shining like a star
That leads us ever onward
Theres a new world waiting
When will we see rebirth
This island earth
Maybe our moment is gone
Maybe weve stood and watched
A moment too long
So why do I believe?
Someone said
That the truths too much to take
But tell me how we can face it
If we only want to look the other way
Chorus
To a new beginning
Shine for all its worth
This island earth
Why, what will we say to the angry child,
Try to explain away her fears while were crying burning tears
Maybe its time to cry the tear that matters
Chorus
Oh as we sail
Through the stars
Were alive on this island of ours

Devils Island
The light that fills my lonely cell,
Is blocked out by the key,
That locks the door to this hell,
The place they wanted me.
Times racing like the wind,
Executions near,
Oh lord, I wait for death,
And, yes, I have no fear.
I recall that night, my every breath,
And, step along the way.
Closed my eyes, walking,
As danger paved the way.
The devil, and the darkness
Let her evil wander free
And, here on devils island,
The final stop for me.
Chorus:
Devils island, devils island.
Oh, there is no escape,
The sea is full of sharks.
The tide takes you away, and
Smashes you on the rocks.
The sun is shining,
But feel not today,
Its warmth, its dying,
And fading away.
Chorus (repeat):
Devils island, [here I stay,] devils island.
Oh, hear the call,
From the grave beyond.
Oh, so pernicious,
Her soul it creates song.
As there is no man, that is
Here upon the earth,
Able to terminate our
Noisome will since birth.
The priest that reads the sermons,
Is walking next to me,
To the stake, my last request,
To have her burn with me.
But, so it did, the heavens opened,
Rain began to fall.
The final judgement came, and
Was spread before you all.
Final judgement.
Old, weak, and feeble,
But the lesson taught to me,
To stay away from evil,
She doesnt care for me.
She haunts me in my sleep,
Though I tore that page away.
And, here on devils island,
Ill always have to stay.
Chorus (repeat):
Devils island, devils island.
[devils island, devils island.]
Here I am.
Chorus (repeat [4 times]):
Devils island, devils island.

Our Last Goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Open your eyes
Here in the dead of the night
Lying here with you by my side, dont know if this is wrong or its
Right
Wishing this was just another day, baby, I can feel its too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen
Chorus:
Baby, dont cry, I can see weve lost the feeling
Wont you open your eyes and try to find your smile
Weve known each other too long to let it all slip away
But when alls said and done, weve said our last goodbye
Baby, dont cry
Baby, weve been living a lie
And even though it hurts deep inside
I know there can be no, no, no compromise cause too many chances have
Passed
And if you want a love that can last, never try to push things too
Fast
And even though Ive no regrets, I still recall the night we met
We said wed never end, so, baby, listen
Repeat chorus
Rap:
All the memories we had, I wouldnt change a thing
And with the lights down low, Im dreaming of what could have been
Even though weve tried so many times before
Ill take one look around before I close the door
With this one last kiss, I know deep down inside
The beginning of the end, the ending of our time
Maybe we could try, but, no, its just too late
Just another cruel twist of fate
Looking back through the years, time has dried all our tears
But all good things must end, oh, just listen
Repeat chorus to fade

One Sweet Day
Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now its too late to hold you
cause youve flown away
So far away
Never had I imagined
Living without your smile
Feeling and knowing you hear me
It keeps me alive
Alive
Chorus:
And I know youre shining down on me from heaven
Like so many friends weve lost along the way
And I know eventually well be together
One sweet day
Eventually well sing in heaven
Darling I never showed you
Assumed youd always be there
And I took your presence for granted
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared
Chorus
Although the sun will never shine the same
Ill always look to a brighter day
Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep
You will always listen as I pray
Chorus

Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say

Peace In Our Time
Go swiftly
The flags and drums can hypnotise
When glory has faded the dream
Is worth more than the prize
A twisting turning flame
And a freedom burning bright
Knows all of the names
And all of the games
Of the yellow black and white
Weve gotta have faith
To work it out
Faith and hope
Without any doubt
Give us strenght to make a start
Put a song in our hearts.....
Chorus:
Were never gonna break down these walls
And build a prison with the stone
cos you and I know what love is worth
Were gonna build heaven on earth
Were running in the wheels of fortune
Turning water into wine
Were gonna take love and make it shine
Were gonna find peace in our time
Softly, softly
When there is lightening in the sky
When the rivers are rising and
Trouble rolls in on the tide
Well keep on keeping on
til all the tears are dry
Well weather the storm and
Welcome the dawn
Of tomorrow you and i
Weve gotta have faith
And get it fast, faith and hope
And make it last
Give us strength
To reach the stars
Put a song in our hearts
Repeat chorus
Solo
Were raisin the dust
Its heaven or bust
And well see this dream come true
Were gonna have faith.....(faith)
The road will be long
But theres hope.....(hope)
To carry us on
Well have strength....(strength)
Well never go wrong
With this song in our hearts
Repeat chorus
At the sign (sign)
Of the dove
Its gonna shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
On a wing
And a prayer
Well be fine
Fine
Fine

Sail On By
Ive got a mind that youll never see
Ive got amazing remedies
Ive got a heart that only wants to please
You wouldnt notice if I slapped you and i
Let go my friend
Telling you I let go my friend
You know I had to let go my friend
Telling you I let go my friend as you
Sail on by
No girl is an island
I live in denial as you
Sail on by
Theres more behind this crying
Than meets the eye
Ive got a hand on the radio
Ive got a song on the video
I work my fingers to the bone
You wouldnt notice
If I were a slacker and i
Let go my friend
Telling you I let go my friend
You know I had to let go my friend
Telling you I let go my friend

No girl is an island
I live in denial as you

Theres more behind this crying
Than meets the eye you

Odyssey
From a far off galaxy, I hear you calling me
We are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times weve met, met along the way
Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in wing-ged flight
As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see
Now and then, the victory
Chorus
Theres a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
Theres a place in the desert
Where an ocean once danced by
Theres a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme
On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be each others destiny
One anothers odyssey
Chorus
Weve met along the way....
Weve met along the way

Time To Make You Mine
Only in my dreams
Ive seen the way its gonna be
Ive waited for this moment
The moment when we share ourselves
This moment cant be thought about
It has to be felt
Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before
Chorus:
Ive dreamed your fingers touch me a thousand times
Dreamed the warm skin of your body burning next to mine
Kissed your sugar lips, caressed your hips
Now were together baby now its time
Time to make you mine
Time to make you mine
The sweet anticipation of hands I know will touch me soon
Two fascinating shadows move in time
(chorus)
Spoken:
I know what its gonna be
Me and you, you and me
I thought that it would never be
I only knew it in my dreams
Even though youre here with me
I never thought Id feel such ecstasy
Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before

Take A Ride
Listen Baby
You need direction, Love and Affection
Someone to be there, a man that truly cares
Put your trust in me, and I will set you free
I know of a better place
And I happen to be going that way
[Chorus]
Take a ride, Win me baby
On a highway that leads to love
Come with me, sail free under the sky way
Just both of us
[Repeat]
Relax, enjoy the ride
Cuz soon we will be there
Leave troubles way behind
Cuz joy is waiting there
So hold on to my hand
Picture us on a island
Making love on the pouring rain
You and me will be like cast away
[Chorus]
Soon well reach our destiny
Once were there we'll know we're free
Your body screaming as we lay
Girl our love, take us away

Im On An Island
Im on an island
And Ive got no where to swim
Oh what a mood I am in
Im on an island
Im on an island
Since my girl left me behind
She said that Im not her kind
Im on an island
But there is no where else on earth Id rather be
Then if my long, lost little girl was here with me
Im on an island
And Ive got no where to run
Because Im the only one
Whos on the island
But there is no where else on earth Id rather be

Dont Say Its Love
Weve had it good for years now
Dont let the change
Weve never needed answers
To find the way
Now all of a sudden
Like waves on a beach
Love has come crashing down
The truth has been lost and found
(chorus)
Dont say its love, baby
cos you are to me
What you want to be
Dont say its love, baby
If our friendship is to survive
Dont say its love
Weve shared so many secrets
Now kiss and tell
You make one move to love me
And its farewell
cos somewhere theres someone
Whos waiting for you
To love you more than I could
Your heart was misunderstood
(chorus)
Dont be a fool
Youll be alone in your confusion
If loving me is an illusion
Then let it go
Oh no no no no
Now I never counted
On ending this way
I always trusted fate
But if we are no too late

Stranded on a Sandbar
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin around
Like the wind that blows
Tide that flows
Have my ups and downs
All a part of some strange plan Im sure
Start a new chapter each day
Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed
cause weve both got our own different ways
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth
Now I used to go crazy for days at a time
Now Im takin my time with my days
Havent found the answers like some that I know
Im just stuck in a fairly nice maze
Climb to the top of the island tonight
Sit beneath the cashew tree
I want to count the stars, lights on the cars
That are shinin up and down on me
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Baby Im stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth
Chorus:
I feel like Im stranded on a sandbar
Sugar Im stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin it for all that its worth
Im just payin for my sins on earth

I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin around

Little Island
LITTLE ISLAND
Randy Newman
In two long wars, my country bled
To save the world for everyone
As through the years, the fight we've led
Too long, we stood alone, too long alone
And when at last, the battle won
We asked for no reward
An empire gone
Two generations turned to blood and dust
Only the best were lost
Only the best
And now the years have passed
The times have changed
The foe is risen up
He stands astride the world
His dreams of conquest all fulfilled
Little island, little island
Glory lost in the mists of time
They will pay for what was done
To those of us who died so young
They will pay for what was done
Little island, little island
Little island

Howd you like to spend chrismas on christmas island?
Howd you like to spend the holiday away across the sea?
Howd you like to spend christmas on christmas island?
Howd you like to hang a stocking on a great big coconut tree?

Howd you like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend christmas on christmas island
You will never stray for everyday your christmas dreams come true

You're An Ocean
Written by tony scalzo
Verse
Can you make it easier for me to understand,
How you're holding my heart, in your trembling hands...
Eyes that rise to meet me half way up among the stars,
You may be from venus but i'm definitely not from mars
Chorus
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down,
What's the commotion,
I'm an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time
Verse
Make the warm winds circle round my head just like you do,
If i could do it, i'd be doing it to you,
I believe i'd buy whatever you would sell to me,
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee,
Chorus
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down,
What's the commotion,
I'm an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time
Break
I believe i'd buy whatever you would sell to me,
Nothing in my life ever came with a guarantee,
You're an ocean, you're an ocean
Settle down, settle down,
What's the commotion,
I'm an island, but you're an ocean,
It's a stormy sea of love and emotion,
You've got me suspended motionless in time

Old temptations
New frustrations
Open up your eyes
Lets get high on new sensations
Let your spirits fly
Everybodys crazy
Youve got to find a way
Weve got to come together
Let me hear you say
Heaven is waiting
And well all shine on
Heaven is waiting
And well all shine on
Shine on, baby
In a world of
Self destruction
No one ever wins
You see
Revolutions
No solution
The answer lies within
Were crying out for freedom
Well find it someday
Weve got to come together
Just dont be afriad
Heaven is waiting
And well all shine on
Heaven is waiting
And well all shine on
Heaven is waiting
And well all shine on
On and on

All shine on

And well all live on

In An Island Of Light
some people have always loved
the island of light
and they do everything to be
inside
that island of light
to a certain extent of disregarding
civility and forgetting courtesy
and setting aside
the reservation that the island of light
is too small and cannot be
the place for all
some people have to live outside
the island of light
for that is what is meant to be
in the word of
destiny
and there will be time for all
a season for some
luck for the other
fate for four
disaster for more
the island of light soon dissolves itself
for the light of day
the sun of mercy
and it is for free.

Peace In Our Time
Out of the aeroplane stepped chamberlain with a condemned mans stare
But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken,
As he waved a piece of paper in the air
Now the disco machine lives in munich and we are all friends
And I slip on my italian dancing shoes as the evening descends
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime
And we can thank God that weve finally got
Peace in our time
Theres a man going round taking names no
Matter who you claim to be
As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies,
Youre still a part of some conspiracy
Meanwhile theres a light over the ocean
Burning brighter than the sun
And a man sits alone in a bar and says oh god,
What have we done?
Chorus
Theyre lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land
Just another tiny island invaded when hes got
The whole world in his hands
And the heavyweight champion fights in the
International propaganda star wars
Theres already one spaceman in the white
House what do you want another one for?

You'll Be There
Hope is an anchor, and love is a ship
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
Til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars
Well you better have a map
A compass and a conscience
so you don't get lost at sea
Around some lonely island, no one wants to be
From the beginning of creation, I think our maker had plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide to the waves and the wind
To the beaches and a world where have never been
And we'll climb upon a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried they'll be the first to sing
CHORUS:
Woah My My
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
Cause you'll be there
Oh my my
You don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees from praying
Scarred my back from falling down
Spent so much time flying high, til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me, can you talk to God and say,
Tell him I might need a hand to see a boat someday
Repeat Chorus
Cause you'll be there
Oh my my

Dont Walk Away
Cant believe were standing here
Saying that were leaving
While holding back the tears
I remember everything weve shared
Through all the years
Why does it have to end this way
Is this the bitter pill
That we have to take
And now weve come this far
Is this the price we pay
Can we win it back again
Chorus:
So dont walk away
We can save our love
If we just keep the faith
Lets turn the tide, before its too late
Dont let it go, dont walk away
Sometimes we dont see eye to eye
And in the past, we may have danced a little out of time
And after all the different roads weve walked together
Lets make it right
Lets start tonight
Chorus
All it takes is understanding
The answers right there in our hearts
We can reach a new horizon
If we keep the hope alive
And all the things will turn out right

We see right through his disguise
He tries to scare us, with angry words
But we all know that theyre lies
Whole world is waiting
Just see the fear in their eyes
Whole world is watching, observing every move
Is it beginning or the end?
Just like a chess game, but so intense

Open your heart, try to remember
Two worlds apart, but so close

But weve been here before
All our lives leading up to this day, watching and waiting

Open your heart, try to remember
Two worlds apart, but so close
