IT"S ALL ABOUT LOVE
I know some people who love fortune and fame
They spend a lifetime trying to play that game
If you became one of the chosen few
What would you do what would you do
I'd take the money but I would not run
From oppurtunities to touch someone
I'd do my best to have a real good time
But keep in mind keep in mind
It's all about love and how you use it
Don't keep it to yourself and never abuse it
If we help one another we'll get a little help from above
It's all about love it's all about love
Now when your children say they don't understand
Why any man would want to hate another man
Because he might not look the way they do
What can you do what can you do
Mothers and fathers tell your boys and girls
There ain't no easy way to change the world
But each and every one can do their part
Open your heart open your heart
(Chorus)
We've got to keep on pushin'
To get a message through
A better world is waitin' on you
And if we need salvation
We can look up and pray
Or we can take care of buisness today
TODAY!
So many people want to look way
So many people who have nothin' to say
So many think there's nothin' they can do
It ain't true it ain't true
Man and woman father and son
Maybe a teacher reachin' out to someone
They come together they've just begun to realize
realize
(Chorus)
EARTHBOUND
When we were children
Every day could make us feel
Like all we'd have to do is reach out
And every dream would seem so real
Any distance could be traveled any battle could be won
And every time the clouds got in our way
We'd fly up to the sun
But it seems as we grow older
The years bring about a change
And we see the world around us
Like we're livin' in a cage
Life is still a childhood game but we're too afraid to play
We just take the hand we're dealt
And then we turn and walk away
Everybody knows the answer
Everybody knows the way
Everyone can see a rainbow
Everyone can touch the sky
Why should we be earthbound you and I
And if you ask yourself what is it that you really feel
What do you think is really real
The answer can be found in dreams forgotten long ago
Things you told yourself you didn't know
As we build these walls around us
And the darkness closes in
There's a light that shines forever
There's a fire that burns within
It's your heart that you must follow
For there is no other way
To find a reason for tomorrow
In everything we do today
Everybody knows the answer
Eveybody knows the way
When our legs grow tired of running
And we're born with wings to fly
Why should we be earthbound you and I
MAN OVERBOARD
There I was livin' day to day
Never much to say about the world I'm livin' in
There you were a beacon in the night
The only one in sight and shelter from the howlin' wind
When you reached out to rescue me
You kept me from drowning in a lonely sea
I was sinking in your ocean
Drowning in your sea
Taking on a tidal wave as love came over me
But you sailed to harbor towards a brand new start
Leaving a good man overboard
Clinging to a broken heart
Swept away - pieces of a dream
Such a lonely scene beneath a starless sky
Hanging on to aching memories
Adrift in used to be and no one to answer why
You gave my heart no place to hide
From the raging storm so deep inside
Chorus
Only love can leave a man like this
Still he can't resist a woman so fine and true
Only love can help a broken man
Salvage what he can knowing what he must do
Someone will hear my desperate heart
Before my shipwrecked world falls apart
Chorus
SAILING SHIPS
Wandering down by the seashore
Watching the gulls fly away
Breathing the night air so deeply
I saw a ship out on the waves
Golden and shining against the new sunrise
Red on the waves
As I watched people were gathered
Waving to me on the shore
Not that I thought it would matter
I've seen the ship ten times before
Though it sails by and draws near
It refuses to land on the shore
Land on the shore
Land on the shore
Now every year seems so fleeting
Now every day seems so dear
Now comes the joy of just being
Only one soul part of the plan
Making the most of the time that he has
To do what he can
Bridge:
All through my life I've seen sailing ships
Thinking they're passing me by
Now I can see why they don't
Make a man of a child
I've seen the ship ten times before
Though it sails by and draws near
It refuses to land on the shore
To land on the shore
To land on the shore
ONE MORE DAY
Sometimes I wonder just what you had in mind
When I was just a gleam in my daddy's eye
Is the road I should follow the road I'm walkin' on
And does it do me any good to wonder why
And lord knows I ain't a man with much to say
I try to let my heart show me the way
To where I should be going to forget about where I've been
And to do the best I can for one more day
Give me one more day to get it right
One more chance to win the fight
One more clear morning maybe I'll see the light
Give me one more day to get it right
Tomorrow I'll reach out my hand
Make this fool a better man
Each and every grain of sand
Is put here for a reason
And if somebody's looking down
And sees me down here on the ground
I may not seem too profound
But I'm doing all I can
Sometimes this world will bring you right down to your knees
There ain't no justice no guarantees
But the answer locked within me is waiting to be free
Give me one more day to find the key
Chorus
