The Way Home 04:48
The Way Home Buy a box of dreams, and take it to your room But someone else's dreams, if you're not careful, will take up all the room. But I remember when we made our own. Yes I remember my way home. Walk a mile in my shoes, and I'll walk a mile in yours. And you know that when we get there we're both gonna say whatever's mine is yours. And we'll remember how we make our own. Yes we'll remember our way home. Walk down my street, see all that's going on Come and listen at the wondow, can you hear the song? You can be in my dream, if I can be in yours We're both walking in the gutter, but let's keep looking at the stars We remember how we make our own Yes we remember our way home.

Jesus is a friend of mine Jesus is a friend of mine He's my bread and He's my wine He's my comfort when I'm low Come living waters and overflow. He says: "Come all who are weary, who hunger and thirst I am the last and I am the first. Give me your burdens and share mine with me For I'm humble and gentle and I will set you free" Jesus is a friend of mine He's my bread and he's my wine When shadows gather He's the light That's always shining, he gives me sight. He says: "I'm there when you weary or stumble or fall, You'll be with me and Im over all The word that I speak it stills all the strife And I have come that you might have life"

Somethin' Wrong This morning when I woke up Just before the dawn First thing that I was thinking again was Where did it all go wrong? All the good people, And my happy home, When it's all going right somethin' always goin' wrong (x2) Well I must be doin' somethin' wrong (x2) Well baby I think about you. I miss your lovin' you know its true. Right now I'm thinkin' about you. Wondering why we couldnt get along, Wondering why Im sitting here writing this song. When it's all going right somethin' always goin' wrong (x2) Well I must be doin' somethin' wrong (x3) You know the pressure's growin' It's hard together Lord it's harder apart. Turn the TV on the blood is flowin' Time was when some things were for sure When we knew the names of the people next door When there wasn't no shame in being poor when to prove you were alive you didn't have to have more (x2) Well I think we're doin' somethin' wrong (x3) Stop children what's that sound everybody look what's going down (quoted from "For what it's worth") I used to think everything was cool, gonna have to send myself right back to school. Used to think everything was fine but sometimes I can't seem to find the time.

Shelter 06:12
Shelter I need shelter Hmm I need shelter from the storm / from the storm I need shelter Give me shelter from the storm / from the storm I need you to help me on I need a still point I need a still point 'cos all / all around is change Where is the still point? I need a still point 'cos all / all around is change Oh it's always just out of range I'll be your shelter I'll be your shelter from the storm / from the storm I'll be your still point I'll be your still point when all / all is out of range But all and everything is change

Hearts and Minds or The businessman, the advertiser, the banker, the children and me They're selling tickets for the Titanic Two for the price of one Special offer come and Buy Buy Buy, Yes and bring the children along Turning forests into matchsticks Sucking all the rivers dry Fishing all the fish from the ocean Special offer this week Buy Buy Buy Bye Bye But some say Life's too short to worry 'bout tomorrow So we might as well party till dawn. Somebody somewhere do something, One man dies and another one's born. One man dies and another one's born. If I haven't got the Nike trainers I'm dead what i really need is Sky TV I've gone into debt for Christmas And I've got to consume to be me, to be me, to be free And he's making money out of money Enjoying the merry go round Telling me and selling me more, more, more And there's never gonna be enough to round Never gonna be enough to go round It's what he says to me Hearts and Minds One at a Time We're gonna turn it around We're gonna make a new sound (repeat) Meanwhile over on the other side of town Johnny's just sittin' in the sun, watching everything that's going down. Tryin' to raise enough for a cup of tea. Well he don't have much, no he don't have much. Enjoy the day, Johnny, enjoy the day, enjoy the tea Hearts and Minds One at a Time I wanna sing a new song I wanna turn you on (repeat) (repeat opening verse)

Do it 04:35
Do it Well now everybody trippin' over why and how but the time is good yes the time is now lots of people runnin' crissin' crossin on the street Goin' nowhere with no one to meet You got to do it Do it for somebody Come on and Do it Do it for somebody (x3) Right now (x3) So don't worry where we're goin' or where we comin' from Up is sometimes down and right is often wrong You can run for your Mama or stand with your Pa It's all right yes it's all good so far So now my little song is almost done I hope that you've enjoyed it, yes it's been lots of fun So remember do it for your sister or do it for your bro Just do it for somebody and it's all gonna flow.

Waiting for You If you're looking for me you know where you'll find me You know that I'll always have time for you These people around me, don't always understand me They think that I'm waiting for somebody new. Im waiting for you, to see through these complications. And I'm hoping too, to break through. (repeat) When I saw you yesterday there was something i forgot to say It's that I love you, and I need you so bad. You know I sometimes try to pray, I know I've got to find a way, 'Cos if I don't, I think Im gonna go mad I'm waiting for you to see though these complications And I'm hoping too, to break through I'm waiting for you to see through all these f**k ups of mine, And I'm hoping too, to break through. But darling don't make me wait too long Oh my sweet life don't make me wait too long.
