Still a friend of mine


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull)

You know it�s true as trees are tall
And autumn leaves do fall
Oh, it sometimes rains in paradise
And even the warmest heart
Can turn to ice

I know it happens to us all
Every kind of people fall
Hey, and after all the tears are gone
Do we have the heart to carry on

Here and now
Still somehow

Still a friend of mine
Oh, you're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine
You're still a friend of mine
Still a friend of mine
You're still a friend of mine
Oh


Think of all the times I hurt you
And never thought it through
Oh, I treated you so badly baby
Could such a cruel heart ever be free

I know it happens to us all
Every kind of people fall
Oh, and after all is said and done
Do we have the heart to carry on

Chorus

I know as long as I've got you
And we do the things we do
The next time baby
That our love breaks down
I'll do the best that I can
To turn it around

Chorus

Time and time and time again
I'm gonna be right here for you baby
Seasons come
And seasons go
Gonna be right here
For you

Repeat x 3 (Fade)


Smiling faces


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull/G. Harvey)

(Scat)

Everybody that you meet
People on the street
Going places
Music in the air
People everywhere
Smiling faces

(Scat)

Where do we go from here


(J.P. Maunick/R. Hayden)

Na na na na na na na na na hey
Na na na na na na na na na hey

Without you baby
There's no love in my life (No)
My head's been spinnin' (Spinnin')
These scars cuts like a knife
Oh mother

Without you baby (Without you)
My lonely heart can't find a way (Find a way)
My whole world's fallin'
Apart when you go runnin' away

I just wanna know where we go from here
Could this be the end of fear
I just wanna know where
Where do we go from here

Na na na na na na na na na hey
Na na na na na na na na na hey
I just wanna know where
Where do we go from here

We both know that it (Aha)
Don't matter who's wrong or right (Who's wrong or right)
Just as long as we feel the yearnin' inside

Chorus

Without you baby
My lonely heart can't find a way
Don't you know my world is falling
Apart when you go runnin' away

Chorus

Na na na na na na na na na hey

Repeat (Fade)


Positivity


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull/R. Hope Taylor)

(Oh)
(Get up, face the power)
(Oh, hey)

It's early in the morning
The light outside is blinding
You don't want to know
You're so tired of complainin'
'Cos your nine to five ain't workin'
While your dreams just seem to grow and grow

Nothing's clear
It's so confusin'
Intuition's left you
There's no one left to turn to
Until you hear a voice within your heart
Telling you which way to go (Don't you know)

You have got to learn to please your mind
Positively (Oh)
Tryin' to find a way to spend your time
In positivity

Spend the days here waiting
And all your nights in wishin'
Seasons come and go
As you sleep the tide is risin'
One by one your dreams are drownin'
While you stare and watch the waters flow

Nothing's clear
It's so confusin'
Intuition's left you
There's no one left to turn to
Until you hear a voice within your heart
Telling you which way to go (Don't you know)


Chorus

Don't spend your days
Watching the way
(Face the power)
(Got to please your mind)

Chorus

Repeat (Fade)


Deep waters


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull)

Is it a crime
For me to be feeling this way
I�m going out of my mind
And there's no change
From a runaway love

Is it a dream (Is it a dream)
That I'm throwing in the wishing well
I'm losing control
Body and soul (Body and soul)
Standin� here waiting
For a train that may never come

I saw the signs
I read the book
I should have had a second look
But, boy you caught me dreamin'
And there were times you'd come around
And we'd agree just to be friends
Tell me who is fooling who

Deep waters
I'm drowning in
Deep waters
Slowly drowning in
Deeper
Deep waters
I'm drowning in
Deep waters
Slowly drowning in
Deeper

What do I say (What can I say)
Where words have failed me before
What do I do
When I'm feeling so blue
And there's no place
For me to run and hide

I saw the sun inside your smile
And wished for more than just a word
Cause, boy you caught me dreaming
A giant step into the dark
We threw caution to the wind
Tell me who is fooling who

Chorus

(I'm drownin')
(Deeper, deeper, deeper)
(I'm drownin' in deeper)

Oh, I saw the signs
I read the book
I should have had a second look
'Cos, boy you caught me dreamin'
And there were times you'd come around
And we'd agree just to be friends
Tell me who is fooling, fooling who

Chorus

Repeat (Fade)


Pieces of a dream


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull)

(Oh, holding)
(Still holdin�)
(Oh)

Before you go
I'd like to say
You give me so much satisfaction
Started up a chain reaction
Tryin' to work out in my mind
A way to let you know
Oh darling

You're asking me to be strong
But I can't see the wrong
In what I'm doing
Just want to hold you every day
Locked inside this feeling
I want you here to stay

(Holding)
Cause I'm holding (I'm holding)
I'm holding on
To the pieces of a dream
Holding
I'm holding on (Still holding)
Still holding on
To the pieces of a dream

What can I do
But to be true
I'm getting such a strong sensation
And it's not my imagination
It's not me to pretend
So try and understand
Oh darling

My heart is chosen to belong
And I don't see the wrong
In what I'm feeling
I know it's time to say goodbye
But I'm not living in a lie
I want you here to stay

Chorus x 2

Oh, baby
You're asking me to be strong
But I still can't see the wrong
In what I'm doing
Just want to hold you every day
Locked? inside this feeling
I want you here to stay

Chorus x 2


Talkin' loud


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull/G. Harvey)

There's a new generation
Takin' up the challenge
To raise the conciousness of all mankind
Down and straight before the chaser
Like train to motivate?
Hangin' on new dimensions
To fundamental vibes
Holding a revelations from
A universal source
People wear this
For the wonders of the world
People yearning for their learning
Positive where life's concerned
Optimistic in the quest for peace

So detach yourself from stress
And ignite the cultural view
We're standing in the frontline with
The message clear for all
The common search of wisdom
Inspiration, information

Listen it loud

Talkin' loud
And sayin' something
'Bout the way
We live our lives today
Talkin' loud
And say something
Revelations from a rising generation

Build on solid ground foundation
Complete with soul seduction
Come together
Elevate your mind
What've got if not each other
You can lean on me my brother
We got clear intentions
On planetary vibes

Detach yourself from stress
Ignite the cultural view
We're standing in the frontline with
The message clear for all
We're in search of wisdom
Inspiration, information

Listen it loud

Chorus


Do right


(J.P. Maunick/R. Hayden/G. Harvey)

(Do right)
(Do right)

Everytime I say
Come closer my dear
I need you to be by my side
And every night I feel
You're driftin' away
Is there something you're trying to hide

I can tell what it means
That look in your eyes
'Cos I've seen it before
And it holds no surprise

(Do me right)
You've been holding me tight
But your mind's on the new girl in town

Now you know that you're lying
And there's no use denying
'Cos this is the time baby

Do right
(Baby do right by me)
(Just want you to)
Do right
Baby do right by me


Bop ba dop bop ba dop bop ba dop (Hey)
Bop ba dop bop ba dop bop ba dop

All that I need from you
Is that comes straight from the heart
You have to be cruel to be kind
And if I should lose you now
I may hurt for a while
But I'll leave all the sadness behind

Life's not always the way that I want it to be
But given the choice I would rather be free

(Do me right)
You've been holding me tight
But your mind's on the new girl in town

Now you know that you're lying
So there's no use denying
This is the time baby

Chorus

Bop ba dop bop ba dop bop ba dop (Hey)
Bop ba dop bop ba dop bop ba dop

Chorus

Repeat (Fade)


Keep the fires burning


(J.P. Maunick/R. Hayden)

(We got to keep the fire)
(We got to keep the fires burning)

When you find
You're all alone
And the walls come closing in
No place to run
And no one there to turn to
Now your options running thin

Don't be afraid to step into the darkness
Reach out for the flame within
From ancient times
A lesson given to you
Never give up until you win (Hey)

(We got to keep the fires burning)
Burnin'
(A flame so bright to show the way)
Oh, come on people sing
We got to keep the fires burnin'
that/god leads us to a better day (Yeah)

Look to the light
Children of the future
You got you through that stormy sea
But keep and eye for hiding in the shadows
All those who stop you bein' free

Chorus

Repeat (Fade)


Givin' it up


(J.P. Maunick/R. Bull)

It's taken time to say goodbye to my sadness
But now I know I'm free
You took my hand and led me out of the darkness
To help me find a brand new me (Baby)
Though all the world around me critizised
The love you gave was never compromized
I never heard you say through all of the madness
Maybe, maybe

There's no denyin' I feel the same way too
Baby, I would die for you (Yeah)
I would (Die for you)
With you I know I'm in a place
That darkness can not touch

Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Givin' it all up to the feelin'
Givin' it up
Givin' it up
Baby, I know you've got that somethin'
(Givin it up)


Turning the truth that exposed me to my blindness
Has opened up my world
Don't know the barriers that kept me out in darkness
Living in a twillight world
You guided me, we're on this fear to try
And through it all no grudging words were said
I never heard you say through all of this madness
Maybe, maybe

There's no denying I feel the same way too
Honey, I would die for you
I would (Die for you)
With you I know I'm in a place
That darkness can not touch

Chorus

Repeat (Fade)

You're still a friend of mine
Oh
