1. _ Free
Should I break like my father?
Should I cry like my mother?
Had I stayed with the others
I had not found my brothers
Free
Yeah we are free
Had I followed my teachers
Like the christian the preachers
I had not cut the wire
Which tied up my desire
Free
Yeah we are free
Free
Yeah we are free
I want to fly
I want to be
I want kiss eternity
I have a dream
I have a time
Tomorrow is a friend of mine
To you and me
We are free
Yeah we are free
We are free
Free

3. _ Wherever You Are
Whenever your shadow falls on stony ground
And there's not a hand for you to hold
Whenever the dreams you dream come crashing down
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
And if you should lose your path along the way
And find yourself walking in the dark
Whenever the ones you love seem far away
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
Whenever the fears you hide come reaching through
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
Every time you think of home
Remember that you're not alone
And we'll be with you heart and soul
We'll be with you heart and soul
Wherever you are
We're with you heart and soul

4. _ Forgive Me
Silent wave coming down on me
Washing out the lie
Living inside me
Life's not hard
Now i'm on tv
This sudden twist of fate
I am direct salvation
Just send in your donation
I can promise that you'll be saved
Forgive me, world
I'm just a man who's lost his way
Forgive me, these two words i pray
It's time to make a change
Yesterday was a different day
Thought i knew the answer
A vision in my mind
Search my soul
And then you will find
A shelter for my pain
The truth is in the open
And now my heart has spoken
Hoping maybe you'll hear my cry
Forgive me, world
I'm just a man who's lost his way
Forgive me, these two words i pray
It's time to make a change
Forgive me, world
I'm just a man who sins today
Forgive me, these two words i pray
My faith is still the same
Maybe i can't change the past
Maybe love can bring us back
Maybe we can try and start again.
Forgive me, world

5. _ The Longest Night
"what passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, -
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires."
(wilfred owen, 1918)
Now the day has run
When the cover comes
But any fool can see
Ahead
Silence is my friend
But it has to end
Any fool can see
Ahead
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On the longest night
So we write our letters
To those far away
Any fool can see
Ahead
The distant sound of thunder
A choir of wailing shells
Any fool can see
Ahead
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On the longest night
I don't want to fight
I don't know who's right
Cold winds they blow
On this longest night
It's the longest night
It's the longest night
Cold winds may blow
On this longest night

6. _ On The Coldest Day In Hell
Do you remember years ago?
All our hopes would ebb and flow
We thought we'd find a promised land
Our footprints in the sand
The mysteries, the twists of fate
Have changed the path from love to hate
But won't erase sins of the past
They hide behind the mask
If i could conquer all our fears
Can forgiveness dry the tears?
If i falter, my soul i'll sell
On the coldest day in hell
I'll never let you down
How can i tell you now?
But only heaven knows
I won't let you go
I dream of demons through the night
A restless fever till morning light
My body's cold, my head's on fire
Give me back my life
Kill this ghost inside of me
Let me sail on deep blue seas
A new beginning, another page
Dawn gives in to day
I will conquer all our fears
Let forgiveness dry the tears
If i falter my soul i'll sell
On the coldest day in hell
I'll never let you down
How can i tell you now?
But only heaven knows
I won't let you go
I swear i'll stand my ground
How can i turn this round?
As this time heaven knows
I won't let you know
When i'm dreaming, i'm dreaming of you
When i'm breathing, i'm breathing with you
But only heaven knows
I won't let you go

7. _ Awake
(adapted from 'the rubaiyat' of omar khayyam)
"the dawning of a brand new day
The waking of the whispers say:
That sleeping heavens will return
In deepest night the secret learned
And from these walls this city lies
The past will be our future
The journey will be over,
Awake!"
I saw the writing on the wall
The story of our birth then fall
Within their tombs of holy stone
The scrolls of life, one man alone
So if we try, we can live and learn
The sands will pull you under
Don't let them pull you under
Awake!
I travelled to a foreign land
Through stormy seas and burning sand
Led by the stars the ancient stream
The call of treasures yet unseen
So if we climb to the rocks of kings
Together we'll discover
The source of all our wonder
Awake!
Someday we're going to go back to the stars
And find the answer, who we really are
A traveller through the lonely mists of time
Creation from the sky
The dawning of a brand new day
The waking of the whispers say:
That sleeping heavens will return
In deepest night the secret learned
From these walls this city lies
The past will be our future
The journey will be over
Awake!
Someday we're going to go back to the stars
And find the answer who we really are
A traveller through the lonely mists of time
Creation from the sky
Someday we're going to back to the stars
And find the answer who we really are
If we try, we can live and learn
Together we'll discover
The source of all our wonder
Awake!
We saw the writing
We read the story
Awake!

11. _ You're The Stranger
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
On the seas
They came from far away
From the skies
Their silver birds of prey
In one day
Ten thousand years could change
We are fools
To live your pilgrim ways
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
And we drive
Five hundred miles this time
To the edge
Of crystal-cut blue sky
Silence breathes
South of the border line
Silent trees
Look back and wonder why
Did father and his holy son
Spread the word and point the gun?
And where the eagle used to fly
They carve their concrete in the sky
Tearing at our mother's skin
Taking all her blood within
Remember how it used to be?
Did father and his holy son
Spread the word and point the gun
And where the eagle used to fly
They carve their concrete in the sky
Tearing at our mother's skin
Taking all her blood within
Remember how it used to be?
Stand up again and say:
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger
Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger
Don't try to talk to me
You're the stranger

12. _ Kings Of The Day
(regis diem)
Heroes of the future
The keepers of the past
And objects of our beauty
Remaining till the last
Walking on the water
The oceans at our feet
The passage of our nature
The taste of bitter-sweet
So shall we be kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
And we wish that this life would go on and on
Looking in the distance
The fever on the street
Cast away the covers
Let my people see
Rulers of the network
Leaders from the dark
Embrace a generation
The first will be the last
So shall we be kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
And we wish that this life would go on and on
Shall we be kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
We will never give up till the day is done
Shall we be kings?
Born just to win
Proud voices sing
And we hope that the word will live on and on
Time waiting
Time taking
Life

13. _ Ready To Go Home
On the street below these walls
Where i used to walk
Now i can barely crawl
All this darkness rising tall
Lord, shine a light for me
I'm waiting to be called
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to heaven's door
Show me where tomorrow lies
I'm waiting to be home
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise i must keep
I'm ready to go home
Sometimes i lay down with these memories
Breathe shallow, deep inside of me
Time has run its course with me
And i'm ready to go home
When the evening shadows fall
When the time has come
I let defences fall
To surrender's to survive
I will give up everything
To those i leave behind
I'm ready to go home
I'm ready to receive
Forgiveness for my sins
I'm ready to begin
I'm ready to lay down
I'm ready now to sleep
A promise i must keep
I'm ready to go home
Again

14. _ The Last Time
If you want it
Don't look at my face
It's the last time
It's not forever
The dust in the wind
It's the last time
One world, one dream
The stars in your hand
No light, no life
The scars are made by man
Heaven can't help you now
In this madness
Take it while you can
It's the last time
This holy water
Running away
For the last time
One world, one dream
The stars in your hand
No light, no life
So heal the scars of man
One chance, this night
To shine on this land
This time, with pride
Give back now while you can
All these fields, that once were green
Have turned to smoke and steel
The sun will fall, and the last moon rise
Don't turn this tide away
If you want it
So start it again
It's the last time
(the scars were made by man)
It's not forever
The dust is the wind
For the last time
One world, one dream
The stars in your hand
No light, no life
So heal the scars of man
One chance, this night
To shine on this land
This time, with pride
Give back now while you can
