Sing your night away if you find yourself alone
In the light of day
All your troubles will be gone
Sing your night away when you’re searching on your phone
Don’t know what to sing?
Make some music of your own!
Sing your night away
Sing your night away
There will come a day when the fight may seem so long
Sing despite the way something right can't be so wrong
Sing your night away
Sing your night away
What if the sky should fall. What if it rains today
Don’t worry bout every little thing
Just sing today

Children In Need

Billion dollar smile across his face
Just back from a trip to the edge of space
Livin life like “Alice In Wonderland”
Searching for a new Bethlehem
While the rest of us sing a requiem
For those small footprints in the sand
There’s angels of death in the Holy Loch
We’ll never deal with the aftershock
And they won’t stop Mariupol dying
When it’s party time up on the hill
And the chosen few have had their fill
Children of Yemen are still crying
When children in need… bleed… and concede… for greed
We can’t just leave them. Don’t deceive them.
Believe them. Don’t mislead them now
Alexa talks to your command
But she will never understand
The words she speaks to your living room
She replies to every task
But she can’t answer what she ain’t asked
Just call her name and she’ll play a tune..
When children in need… bleed… and concede… for greed
We can’t just leave them. Don’t deceive them.
Believe them. Don’t mislead those
children in need…
They’re caught in a war zone all alone
Don’t condone their gravestones now!

Take a ride thru Georgia
To Atlanta from the sea
Take a train thru Birmingham Ala b
Thru a never never land
Of cotton bales & hay
And there’s good old boys & whiskey makin you stay
Back in 1862..
Old Jack he passed this way Stonewalled them old Yankees There that day
And the boys were smiling pretty As they marched along the way. With their blue eyes... Cryin..”Dixie Away!’
Tennessee..
Accept my own surrender Capture me..
And take me home to stay Can’t you see..
You’re where my dreams have ended Tennessee..you win!
You blew my heart away!
Sail down the Mississippi to Memphis Tennessee Or up to Johnson City for the Fall
When that Last train to Clarksville
Sounds her whistle thru the trees
You can see these blue eyed boys still marching tall!
Well I’ll lay my hat in Nashville
Where I’ll sing my song
Where the music still remembers these old days And the boys still smiling pretty
Cos they know where they belong
With their blue eyes.
Cryin..”Dixie Away!”
Tennessee..
Accept my own surrender Capture me..
And take me home to stay Can’t you see..
You’re where my dreams have ended Tennessee..you win!
You blew my heart away!
Tennessee..
Accept my own surrender Capture me..
And take me home to stay Can’t you see..
You’re where my dreams have ended Tennessee..you win!
You blew my heart away!

Take a look around, in your mind
Ear to the ground. Your unheard in a world of sound.
Visions in the sky. It's a long long fight
Sittin all alone at night. Open up your eyes!
My father told me. Never wonder why, yeah
Time is runnin out on me [time out]
Just another minute [time out]
I think you are beautiful!
Just another minute!
Just another minute with you!
Just another minute!
Just another minute!
Just another minute with you
Just another minute!

The Illusive Butterfly

Take the time to ease my mind
In the modern world you see me now
And I will always be
One who waits, one who waits to see
All my life singing among the drifting dragonflies
I will wait for you
When will you lead me, When will you lead me, How long must I wait for you
When will you lead me magic butterfly
When will you lead me can we leave right now
When will you lead me to the mountain
Out of time. Summer’s almost done
Just a single day then you’ll be gone
Sunlight on your wings my butterfly
Fluttering towards the sun
When will you lead me to the mountain
In the early morning light
And when I see you magic butterfly
Will you give me all your happiness
Before the night
Rest your wings upon my shoulder
The mountain air is getting colder
When will you lead me to the mountain
In the early morning light
There are precious moments I’ll be counting
But when you float above my shoulder you must stay with me… stay with me… stay with me...
On wings of happiness I’ll fly to you
My illusive butterfly.

You'll love me to the very end of the world. As if you could live that long
Creation of Earth and the Virgin Birth are singin' the same old song yeah!
You gotta call time on the water to wine, it's only a matter of when.
You stayed out all night but it's quite alright, cos' you'll never do it again
Get outta here do you expect me to believe you? why the hell should I?
Get outta here do you expect me to believe it's true? I see with my own
eyes. That nothin's gonna change till you get outta here
Believe in the word cos the word is good, because someone tells you to.
There's angels and demons and visions and dreams and omens and
miracles too.
Yeah! your thoughts can be read when you lower your head by a power
beyond our ken
You tell me you love me and always think of me, and broken hearts can
mend
Get outta here do you expect me to believe you? why the hell should I?
Get outta here do you expect me to believe it's true? I see with my own
eyes. That nothin's gonna change ...
I just can't believe its true...
Get outta here do you expect me to believe you? why the hell should I?
Get outta here do you expect me to believe it's true? I see with my own
eyes. That nothin's gonna change... nothin's gonna change till you get
outta here.

I Hassan am running from my home
Running from my homeland, searching for a kind hand
Hassan! Hassan! Hassan! wake up!
Pure human emotion. Drowning in the ocean.
Please will you believe me? And can you receive me?
Hassan! wake up! Hassan! Hassan!
Please will you receive me? One day you could be me!
Pray God I may arrive!

Pale Blue Dot
05:39
|
|||
|
A speck of dust, in which we must absolutely trust, goes wandering
carrying thru space the human race, a fundamental thought, worth pondering
how many of us will survive, how many things can stay alive?
maybe not a lot. let's hold that thought
what kind of birdsong will we hear when the trees all disappear?
the only home we got is just a pale blue dot
and it makes me wonder, wonder....
the only home we got, is just a pale blue dot
just a pale blue...just a pale blue... just a pale blue... just a pale blue
just a pale blue...just a pale blue dot
all the hopes and fears, ecstasy and tears
of every kind of life since trylobites
a precious atmosphere, 4 seasons in the year
a shelter that provides us with day and night
when the smoke begins to clear, we will need a volunteer
when it gets too hot......an astronaut
at the moment we're alive, but just how long will we survive?
the only home we got is just a pale blue dot
and it makes me wonder...wonder
the only home we got, is just a pale blue dot
just a pale blue...just a pale blue... just a pale blue... just a pale blue
just a pale blue...just a pale blue dot
the harvest in east Africa has failed again
once there was enough, just can't remember when
rivers overflow, why we just don't know
consult the weatherman...here comes the rain again
man can tether time nor tide, we can't commit mass suicide
we may have lost the plot, I guess we just forgot
we only have ourselves to blame, it's gonna happen all the same
the only home we got is just a pale blue dot
and it makes me wonder...wonder
the only home we got...is just a pale blue dot
just a pale blue...just a pale blue... just a pale blue... just a pale blue

You and Me

There's an elephant in the room
She’s searching for savannah grass in bloom
But the river’s all cracked & dry
Maybe the preacher man can tell her why?
It’s up to you & me…..no-one else is gonna do it
You and me….. its maybe not too late to save this
Wonderland…its mind over matter
We gotta do better…We gotta do this thing together
Some people just close their eyes
But maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised
They need that shopping mall in the sky
It's just the evidence they deny
And when you say you know somehow
It might just be over now
I didn’t really realise
Things had reached a tipping point
Somewhere on this earth there lies a way
To save the day
It’s up to you & me…..no-one else is gonna do it
You and me….. we may just have the time to save this
Wonderland…its mind over matter
We gotta do better…We gotta do this thing together
You & me…..
It's up to You and me….. it's not too late for us to save this
Wonderland…its mind over matter We gotta do better…We gotta do this thing together
You & me…..no-one else is gonna do it
You and me….. we've got to try to save this
Wonderland…its mind over matter
We gotta do better…We gotta do this thing together

The Unicorn

In my minds eye the twinkling lights of home
the love that lies awaiting my return
that lovely glen for a' I ken is gone
cos here I lie on Culloden field alone
and through the rain I feel the pain sae sair
but I can feel the future in the air
and now my achin heart is breakin and
I'm dreamin' of my Unicorn again
sweet Unicorn, you bore their scorn for you
they stole your sacred cross of white on blue
caged and chained, your heart remains so true
up for the fight to claim this right for you
oh Unicorn, my Unicorn your hearts still strong
sweet Unicorn, my Unicorn your hearts still strong
through prison bars, a billion stars above
shine down on all the people that you love
when skies are blue and summer's in the glen
we will free the Unicorn again
we will free the Unicorn again
we will free the Unicorn again
with hearts so true, white cross on blue,
that's when we will free the Unicorn again.
