For A Child
By michael mcdonald
Love is the answer to a child
Just as hope is the answer to us all
But its there at the beginning
That we learn to hope at all
And God help us if we dont
Chorus:
Tell me where is this place
From which theres no return
What can we know of another road
From the one that we made
With our anger and our rage
We dare not go where there is no hope
Not even for a child
If dreams fly over the rainbow
Truth lies waiting for us all
If sirens voices cloud our reason
Can we still resist their call
cause God help us if we dont
Chorus:
For so many people livin their whole lives
Waiting to be saved
For so many chilren taking that short trip
From the cradle to the grave

I hope that youve been thinking about me
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Pick up the phone to call you
But I hung up cause Im so afraid
Afraid of rejection
Or another woman in your face
Hopin all day that you would call me
And that youre thinkin of me too
Well in my case with the game of love
If I played I would probably lose
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that youre thinkin of me
And I pray every night you love me
I dont ever want what we have to end
And Ill always be your friend
Dont you feel me calling from afar
If you dont know Ive been there from the start
As sure as my name is what it is
Youll always have a place in my heart
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh....
I hope that you have been thinking of me
The way that I have been thinking of you
When I pray every night
That its me in your dreams when your sleepin
I really hope that Im the that youre thinking about
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Chorus
I hope that you have been thinking of me too (I hope that, I hope that youve
Been thinkin)
The way that I have been thinking of you (all the time, cant get you off my
Mind baby)
I hope that you have been thinking of me too
The way that I have been thinking of you
See I hope that its you
And I hope that you are baby
Thinking of me too
Ooh, yeah, yeah...
See I hope that you are
Ooh, youre thinking of me
I need for you to think about me
Like I think about you baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I hope that its you
And I hope that youre thinking of, thinking of, thinking of me too

We Are
Take a listen through the window
Take a lover on the radio
Ask her if shes got an answer
Do you know
Time enough to get a good one
Though they never seem to get done
I am standing for a reason
Do you know
Chorus
cause I dont know how
And I dont know where
We are we are
And I dont know why
I dont know if
We are we are
Seven days and not a return
Seven lives and not a thing learned
Take a lover on the highway
Do you know?
cause I am sleeping on a time bomb
And I am waiting for the light to come
You and I could get away now
Do you know
Chorus
I get up sometimes
Like somebody else
Am I just wasting time
For somebody else
Take a listen through the window
Another lover on the radio
Ask her if shes got an answer
Do you know?

Hope...?
Hope...
Hope is to wait
Waiting for anything to make the day
Waiting for sunrise or night
Waiting for the tears to dry
Waiting for that telephone call
Waiting for the path to end
Waiting for the struggles to past
Hope...
Hope is to keep on dreaming
Dreaming of prince charming
Dreaming of the perfect life
Dreaming of Utopia
Dreaming of chance to escape
Hope...
Hope is determination
Determined to reach the goal
Determined to make the dreams come true
Determined to prove everybody wrong
Determined to push away the nos and answer with a yes
Determined to reach that 100%
But that is what i only believe
What do you see in Hope....

I Dont Want To Be A Hero
Oh, send me off to war
With a gun in my hand
But I wont pull the trigger
Out destiny is here
neath the red, white and blue
So lead me to the slaughter
Now dont be afraid
Come and join the parade
For the ultimate in sacrifice
Its an old-fashioned story
Of hope and of glory
A ticket for taking life
(chorus)
I, I dont want to be a hero
I dont want to die for you
I dont want to be a hero
Oh send me off to war
In a far away land
I never knew existed
Subject me to the truth
To the horror and pain
Until my mind is twisted
And what if I fail
Will you put me in jail
For a murder I will not commit?
cos you dont understand
Till theres blood on your hands
That its time to forget and forgive
(chorus)
And those who return
Come back only to learn
That theyre hated by those who they love
cos youre not satisfied
Till the thousand will die
And your anger is paint for blood
(chorus)

Waiting For The Bell To Ring
Astley/west
Do you believe it what the papers say?
Theyre driving me insane they push me over my limit
Do you believe it they catch me every time?
It ought to be a crime. wo, the things they say
There ought to be a reason for turning black to white
Sometimes get the feeling that its done to spite
They dont need a reason to turn your world around
(chorus)
Im waiting for the bell to ring
I want the children to sing
And Im waiting for the bad man to fall
Im just about done with it all
Do you believe it, when politicians talk
And make, make the people walk into the fire
Do, you concede, is there no reprieve
From their power game, I know theres someone to blame
We ought to be forgiven for taking in their words
They dont even write them now is that absurd
They dont need a reason to tear your world apart
(repeat chorus)
And Im just about done with it all
With it all
And Im waiting, you know Im waiting
For the angels to sing for the freedom it brings
For the bad man to fall
When the children call, I want the angels to sing
And Im just about done with it all
And Im waiting for the bell to ring
I want the children to sing
And Im waiting for the bad man to fall
Im done with it all
(repeat chorus)

The Answer Lies
(graham russell)
Reach into your heart when you are near me
The answer lies at hand
Throw away all your fears of getting nowhere
For all your moves are planned
So dont spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru
Just walk right inside and Ill be there
The answer lies there for you
Come, oh wont you come, someone is calling and no one else will do
Wake, from the dream in which you are falling
The answer lies there for you
So dont spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru
Just walk right inside and I am sure the answer lies there for you
So dont spend too much time waiting by the door
For you will never see right thru
Just walk right inside and I am sure
The answer lies, the answer lies
The answer lies, there for you

Conversation
Chorus:
Conversation with the child who once believed in you
How does one explain to him what it is you do
He says daddy daddy please tell me its not true
What all the people are saying....saying about you
There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth
Is begging for you to tell the truth
Its such a hard way to learn....hard way to learn
This moment of truth will hurt for life
Dont need to tell you that aint right
Come now little boy dont you cry
cause the child in you is still alive
Chorus
There comes a time in this childs life when the boy becomes a man
So many things from his past he now can understand
Like all the times when dad would leave and be gone for so long
And he thought everything was all right
And he thought everything was all right
This moment of truth will hurt for life
Dont need to tell you that aint right
Come now little boy dont you cry
cause the child in you is still alive
This moment of truth will hurt for life
Dont need to tell you that aint right
Come now little boy dont you cry
cause the child in you is still alive
Such a hard way to learn......(repeat)

Who Do You Love, I Hope
I've got the question
I've had it for days
You've got the answer, dear
I'll put the question
In one little phrase
Say what I want to hear
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Who do you want I hope
Who do you need I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Is it the baker who gave you a cake
I saw that look in his eye
Is it the butcher who brought you a steak
Say that it is and I'll die
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
[2]
I heard your question
The answer you know
Love is my middle name
You asked a question
That worried you so
Mind if I do the same
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Who do you want I hope
Who do you need I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me
Is it the blondie who acted so shy
I heard the things that she said
Is it the redhead who gave you the eye
Say that it is and your dead
Who do you love I hope
Who would you kiss I hope
Who is it going to be
I hope, I hope, I hope it's me

Everything You Want
Somewhere theres speaking
Its already coming in
Oh and its rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now youre here and you dont know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who wont return
Chorus
Hes everything you want
Hes everything you need
Hes everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you dont know why
Youre waiting for someone
To put you together
Youre waiting for someone to push you away
Theres always another wound to discover
Theres always something more you wish hed say
Chorus
But youll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
Its only what youre asking for
And youll be just fine
With all of your time
Its only what youre waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who wont return
Chorus
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I dont know why
And I dont know why
Why
I dont know

The Best Of Me
So many years gone
Still I remember
How did I ever let my heart believe
In one who never gave enough to me
And so many years gone
And love that was so wrong
I cant forget the way it used to be
And how youve changed the test of love for me
Chorus
You were my one more chance
I never thought Id find
You were the one romance
Ive always had in my mind
No one will ever touch me more
And I only hope that in return
I might of saved the best of me for you
And well have no ending, no, no
If we can hold on
And I think Ive come this far because of you
Could be no other love but ours will do
Repeat chorus
No one will ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
I saved the best of me for you

Answer Man
You must retreat now
I just cant talk anymore
Your words make me empty inside
Theres nothing left of you
Time seems to change
Thoughts I have for you
Now Im so alive
But you seem to be
Drowning every minute
I say thats life
You say its alright
I cant be your answer and
I dont want to follow you
Into your cloud
I am tired of being the one
To live and learn from your mistakes
Im just so sick of my mind
It sees us like a light
Shining bright
In the middle
Dont you see us smiling now
You say thats life
I say its alright
Chorus
Please open your eyes
See where you sleep tonight
I hope you never call it home
But your bound to live bound to die in it
You say thats life
I say Ill still be here

Answer Me
It seems youre feeling down
You dont know how long
But you know you dont like it
Lost in your room
It seems youre feeling tired
You dont know what from
One too many parties
Makeup hides the wounds
Chorus
Answer me
Giving up wont get you out
Cant you hear me
Come and leave this room of doubt
Answer me
It seems youre feeling scared
You dont know how come
Hiding in the shadows
Praying for the sun
Chorus
It seems youre feeling old
You dont know how long
Holding on to memories
Waiting for the song

I Stand For You
By chuck sabatino and michael mcdonald
No greater power
No greater gift to lose
Then the message unspoken
The silence of the truth
Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light
Chorus:
One voice is not strong enough
One heart just wont do
In this world I dont count for much
Unless I stand for you
Oh, we are the beginning
Of a sound that might be heard
To the many who lie waiting
Our words break through the cold grip of silence
And they guide us through the night
Chorus:
One choice is all we got
One fact remains true
In this world I dont count for much
Unless I stand for you
Not another minute
Not another hour
Were gonna rise on up
Every man, woman and child
(I believe that the time has come)
Oh, I stand for you
Alone we hide in the shadows
But together we bring on the light

After The Storm
Open hearts
Open eyes
Open scars that are left upon
Open minds
Sacred words
Sacrificed
Storytellers exaggerate
Shallow lies
(chorus)
After the hurt has gone away
Oh will we feel the pain
After the storm begins to turn
Oh will we ever learn
Open doors
Open books
Tragic stories repeated still
Overlooked
Chase the wind
Catch a breath
Watch a child when it falls
Helplessness
(chorus)
Its never too late to say a prayer
It might be all we got to share
Theres always a hope that someones there
Dont confirm unless its sure
Dont pretend to know a cure
Dont convince the world youre right
Dont deny youve never lied

Short People
Short people
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
'round here
Short people are just the same
As you and i
(a fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(its a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
Theyre gonna get you every time
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people

Forever & A Day
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
Chorus
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If youve got the answer
Then I dont want to know
If youve got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I dont want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
Chorus
If youve got a vision
Then I dont want to see
If youve got a notion
Dont waste it on me

Taking The Chance
(graham russell)
Youre in-between a page of life you never dreamed
The answer wont come from that magazine
This time its real and youre not sure just what to feel
Who can I trust to say
Should I give love now should I take love now
(chorus)
Im taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If somethings not right then tell me Im wrong
I just want our love to carry on
Sometimes the fear of losing you has been so near
I needed to make this choice on my own
To let love in when Im so scared when things begin
Dont ever run away I feel close to you now
You know I need you now
(chorus)
Im taking the chance
And giving myself to you
If somethings not right then tell me Im wrong
I just want our love to carry on
Im taking the chance
I cant let this feeling leave
I dont want those nights of waiting so long
Im taking the chance before its gone
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
Taking the chance
On you

Were There Hope
I was never in a league of noble gentlemen
To whom she'd cast polite and flitting smiles,
Only distant hope and dying dreams for me!
Or perhaps descent into a game of wiles
To give a chance of sipping wine on heady nights
With her angelic presence to declare;
Above, an aura playing out hypnotic hues,
And I in awe of blonde cascades of hair.
But no! my tiring soul is sinking in a mire
To haunt me for an age and evermore, for
How could I expect to hold her silken hand
When I am but a soulless ghost of yore?
