Then & Now

The sun was shining
The sky was crying
It just tore apart
And down came the rain

And i was soaking
Yeah i was freezing
But i was feeling
No kind of pain

Come a fireball
I held it in my hand
You see before you
A man who's known greatness

I had a vision
A revelation
I took a look inside of me
And i am a sensation

Days like these i feel like i can change the world {repeat}

It's either easy
Or it's impossible
And if you ain't got it
You ain't never gonna get it

But once you find it
You gotta grab it
Reach down your own throat
And yank it to the surface

That may be brutal
May be gory
But whatever else it is
It's my story

And i believe it
Yeah, i can see it
I sing it out, shout it out
Gimme death or glory

{chorus}

Days like these, days like these
I think i'll move a mountain or two
Days like these, days like these
Anything you want you know i'll get it for you

The sun was shining
I was crying
I saw a thousand people
Singing in the rain

And i was thinking
About the indians
And how they say true wisdom
Only comes from pain

Come a rumbling
Humbling feeling
Like things will never
Ever be the same

But what doesn't kill you
Only makes you stronger
Today i'm strong enough
And anyway, i love the rain

{chorus}

I've been flat out of luck
Spent my very last buck
Can't sink no lower than this
I'm so broken inside
Had to spit out my pride
This ain't no way to exist

Every place that i go
Everyone that i meet
Sees me like i'm some dog in the street
And it's bringin' me down to my knees

Now i'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
I'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin' for a miracle

Since i left you that night
Less than nothing's gone right
Living this hell that i made
So i'm back at your feet
I'm admitting defeat
Girl, i never felt so afraid

Just give back my life
I admit my mistakes
Now i'm willing to do whatever it takes
I'm begging you now, can't you see

That i'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle
Prayin' for a miracle

Don't walk away
'cause i know i'm still worth savin'
Can you forgive the way
I turned my back on you
And i'm prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle

Prayin', prayin'
Prayin' for a miracle ...

Standing there i've been watching you
All alone your face says it all
Desperately i need to talk to you
Can you see me will you answer my call

Am i in love or is it the magic of tonight
Am i in love or is it the magic of tonight
And will it be right tomorrow morning

Hold me now i feel you close to me
It's so good, so good i want more
Something stirs deep inside of me
Face to face as we move my life is yours

Just one kiss remember this
And it will stay with you forever

They decorated all the generals
Who fought the wars behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy put them way behind the times

Insanity has found its way to tv screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
I never would have thought this in my

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

The evening comes, we sit and watch the vjs
Clips and rushes come from who knows where
From washington across to california
With fighting breaking out in leicester square

We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams

They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformists anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in my

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams...

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that i would have know by now

{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when i die

{chorus}

{repeat first verse}
{repeat second verse}
{chorus}

{only time will tell}
You're on your own
Inside your room
{only time will tell}
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell...
