almost paradise

I thought that dreams belonged to other men
cause each time I got close
they'd fall apart again
I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
how could I have known
that all my life I only needed you

almost paradise
we're knockin' on heaven's door
almost paradise
how could we ask for more
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
paradise

it seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
you must have read my mind
and all these dreams I've saved for a rainy day
they're finally comin' true
I'll share them all with you
cause now we hold the future in our hands

invisible

whatcha’ doin’ tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
are you really alone
who's stealin' your dreams
why can't I bring you into my life
what would it take to make you see that I'm alive

if I was invisible
then I could just watch you in your room
if I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight

if hearts were unbreakable
then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
if I was invisible

saw your face in the crowd
I call out your name
you don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
each move that you make
wish I could read what goes through your mind
wish you could touch me with the colors of your life

I reach out
but you don't even see me
even when I'm scream out
baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
just a shadow passing through

harry houdini

I wanna be like Harry Houdini
and be the one to make the great escape
I wanna be where no one'll see me
you've gotta learn a lesson give and take

I wanna be where lovin' is easy
if I could go it wouldn't be a dare
cause when you look in my eyes
how can you not realize
that I could go and couldn't give a care

I wanna be like Harry Houdini
where there ain't nothin' that'll keep you in
I wanna be where no one'll see me
can't find a way to say I can't begin

and when I'm gone I know how you'll miss me
how could there ever really be a doubt
cause when you look in my eyes
how can you not realize
that you could never really be without

how much more can I believe in
the things they say
I'm past the point I'm leavin'
I gotta get away

why should you try to change me
you never will
my past comes back to chase me
I won't be happy till

-konkan's-

the search is over

how can I convince you
what you see is real
who am I to blame you
for doubting what you feel

I was always reachin'
you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you

I was living for a dream
loving for a moment
taking on the world
that was just my style

now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
the search is over
you were with me all the while

can we last forever
will we fall apart
at times it's so confusing
these questions of the heart

you followed me through changes
and patiently you'd wait
till I came to my senses
through some miracle of fate

now the miles stretch out behind me
loves that I have lost
broken hearts lie victims of the game
then good luck it finally struck
like lightning from the blue
every highway leading me back to you

now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
the search has come full circle
our destinies are one
so if you ever loved me
show me that you give a damn
you'll know for certain
the man I really am

land of confusion

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
been haunted by a million screams
but I can hear the marching feet
they're moving into the street

now did you read the news today
they say the dangers gone away
but I can see the fires still alight
there burning into the night

there's too many men
too many people
making too many problems
and not much love to go round
cant you see
this is a land of confusion

this is the world we live in
and these are the hands were given
use them and lets start trying
to make it a place worth living in

ooh superman where are you now
when everythings gone wrong somehow
the men of steel, the men of power
are losing control by the hour

this is the time
this is the place
so we look for the future
but there's not much love to go round
tell me why, this is a land of confusion

I remember long ago
ooh when the sun was shining
yes and the stars were bright
all through the night
and the sound of your laughter
as I held you tight
so long ago

I won't be coming home tonight
my generation will put it right
we're not just making promises
that we know, well never keep

owner of a lonely heart

move yourself
you always live your life
never thinking of the future
prove yourself
you are the move you make
take your chances win or loser

see yourself
you are the steps you take
you and you - and that's the only way
shake shake yourself
you're every move you make
so the story goes

owner of a lonely heart
owner of a lonely heart
much better than a
owner of a broken heart
owner of a lonely heart

say you don't want to chance it
you've been hurt so before
watch it now
the eagle in the sky
how he dancin' one and only

you lose yourself
no not for pity's sake
there's no real reason to be lonely
be yourself
give your free will a chance
you've got to want to succeed

after my own decision
they confused me so
my love said never question your will at all
in the end you've got to go
look before you leap
and don't you hesitate at all

-yes's-

open arms

lying beside you here in the dark
feeling your heart beat with mine
softly you whisper you're so sincere
how could our live be so blind
we sailed on together we drifted apart
and here you are by my side

so now I come to you with open arms
nothing to hide believe what I say
so here I am with open arms
hoping you'll see what your love means to me
open arms

living without you living alone
this empty house seems so cold
wanting to hold you wanting you near
how much I wanted you home
but now that you've come back
turned night into day
I need you to stay

-journey's-

you and I

all the man I am
you are the reason for me you help me understand
I'll be your shelter from the rain that never ends
girl, you've always got a friend in me

all the love we had
I should've known our love was older than the past
throwing my life away on songs I never heard
just the speaking of a special word
I made you die inside but you loved me

and don't believe the world
no, the world can't give us paradise
when you make your love to me
til I just could not see the light

as long as I got you
as long as you got me
as long as we got you and I

I wont let you down
no better love will be there when you turn around
I'll be living for you till the ocean turns to sand
there will never be any man
could love you just the way that I love you....

so don't believe the world
no the world can't give us paradise
in the eye within the storm
when I just could not make it through the night

-kennyroger's-

love at second sight

if we learn to pace ourselves
it won't seem so dramatic, it won't be so unclear
'cause if we learn to pace ourselves
the ghost up in the attic might just disappear
you may not agree that it could happen here

and in the morning
I think we're gonna laugh somehow
at what we are afraid of now
'cause in the morning
we'll know better than tonight
if it's gonna end up love at second sight

and if we learn to trust our hearts
and disregard the voices leading us away
and we can make a better start
we have all the choices, we have all the say
you might not agree, but, you can't walk away

and in the morning
I think we're gonna laugh somehow
at what we are afraid of now
'cause in the morning
we'll know better than tonight
if it's gonna end up love at second sight

through the barricade

mother doesn't know where love has gone
she says it must be youth
that keeps us feeling strong
see it in her face, that's turned to ice
and when she smiles she shows
the lines of sacrifice

and now I know what they are saying
as our sun begins to fade
and we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades

father made my history
and fought for what he thought
would set us somehow free
they taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart
but now that's torn in two

and now I know what they are saying
in the music of the parade
and we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades

born on different sides of life
but we feel the same
and feel all of this strife
so come to me when I'm asleep
and we'll cross the line
and dance upon the streets

and now I know what they are saying
as the drums begin to fade
and we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades

oh, turn around and I'll be there
there is a scar right to my heart
but I'll bare it again
oh I thought we were the human race
but we were just another borderline case
and the stars reach down and tell us
that there is always one escape

I don't know where love has gone
and in this trouble land
desperation keeps us strong
fridays child is full of soul
with nothing left to loose
there's everything to go

and now I know what they're are saying
it's a terrible beauty we've made
so we make our love on wasteland
and through the barricades

and now I know what they are saying
as our hearts go to their graves
so we made our love on wasteland
and through the barricades

time

time waits for nobody
time waits for nobody
we all must plan our hopes together
or we'll have no more future at all
time waits for nobody

we might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
but it seems to me we've not listened to
or spoken about it at all
the fact that time is running out for us all

time waits for nobody
time waits for no one
we've got to build this world together
or we'll have no more future at all
because time - it waits for nobody

you don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
you know what's going on
but it seems to me we've not cared enough
or confided in each other at all
it seems that we've all got our backs against the wall

all you need is love

there's nothing you can do that can't be done
nothing you can sing that can't be sung
nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
it's easy

there's nothing you can make that can't be made
no one you can save that can't be saved
nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
it's easy

all you need is love, all you need is love
all you need is love, love, love is all you need

there's nothing you can know that isn't known
nothing you can see that isn't shown
nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
it's easy

crying in the rain

I'll never let you see
the way my broken heart is hurt in me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
all my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

if I wait for stormy skies
you won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
you'll never know that I still love you so
though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

raindrops falling from heaven
could never take away my misery
but since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
to hide these tears I hope you'll never see

some day when my cryin's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then, darling, you'll,
never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

-aha's-

shattered dreams

so much for your promises
they died the day you let me go
caught up in a web of lies
but it was just too late to know

I thought it was you
who would stand by my side
and now youve given me, given me
nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
feel like I could run away, run away
from this empty heart

you said youd die for me
woke up to reality
and found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
that maybe things could work out right
