The Earth, A Small Man, His Dog And A Chicken

Live it up, and let it go
Your time is up before you know
In a world full of wonder
Don't let your troubles pull you under

You're telling me your life is tough
And what you need is stronger stuff
Well you can live under sedation
Or get up and cause an overnight sensation

Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it

You sit and watch your mtv
You dream away in a fantasy
If you don't dig the situation
Then get a guitar and rock the nation

You can't hold back once you light the fuse
And if it feels alright, then let it roll
You got nothin to lose

Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it

How did we end up ending up this way
I always thought that we could work it out
At times i wondered if we'd last out the day
But my love was always stronger
Stronger than my doubt
Then here we are, are we running out of time?
We've come so far to leave it all behind
But that's how i feel
I wanna know how you feel

I'd walk all night for you baby
Stand in the pourin rain
But you gotta meet me baby, half way
You know that i don't wanna give up
Do anything to make you stay
But you gotta meet me baby, half way

I couldn't tell you what you meant to me
I kept those feelings hidden far away
And hoped that you could tell by looking at me
Now you know what you needed
Is too late to say....

That i love you more than i ever knew i could
And i need you now like i never thought i would

Chorus

I thought about livin my life without you
In this cold, cold world
Well i'm no man of steel
But i'd walk on fire for you
That's just how i feel

Chorus

Love is a positive vibration
With love you find the good in a bad situation
Everybody's gonna need a helping hand
It don't really matter where you stand
You're gonna need someone to lean on

Hate is a constant inflammation
A fire that's built on fear and frustration
One man's heaven is another man's hell
Every story has got two sides to tell
Don't let anybody pull you under

Some people just love to hate
They criticize when they can't relate
Some people don't love, they just love to hate

Some people can hardly wait
To tear down what you create
Cause some people don't love, they just love to hate

Somebody attacks without a reason
He's just trying to drag you down in the hole that he's in
Why are people so negative
I think that everybody ought to just live and let live
We could use a little understanding

Chorus

I guess some people been pushed around
Now they're trying to even it up by putting somebody else down
I believe that things can only get better
When everybody learns to live together

When she turned away, you know it was just in time
Cause i'd used up all my strength
And you can't let a woman see you cryin
And you know it's real
She's not gonna change her mind
You choose not to change your ways
Though she begged you a thousand times
And you don't understand
And you want to be a man about it

In time you'll learn to live without it
And you know that you'll survive
But still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
You're gonna grow again
Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives

Your stare at the empty walls
Inside of this vacant home
You walk through these hollow halls
And at night you sleep alone

Chorus

You've been over it so many times in your head
Looking for a hidden message of hope
In something she said
Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end
Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend

Chorus

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If i can't see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?

I wanna watch my children laugh as they run
I wanna hold their children on my knee
And tell them stories of a vanishing sun
Of how it used to be

In my lover's life i want to share
I want to see the world now through her eyes
And about everything she sees, i care
The time has come to rise

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If i can't see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?
Will we make it a different story?
Is there love in the future for you and me?

We're looking for answers in outer space
When will we discover the earth is a sacred place?

Chorus

Why can't we see eye to eye?
I feel you don't want to try
Cause you won't see me as i am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me cry again
You won't see me

Why'd you want to go and walk away?
I have got some things to say
But you won't see me as i am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me try again
You won't see me
I'll be movin on, i'll be long gone

You are in my range
I am in your sight
You say, things don't change
I say, they just might

You just might find that you can trust in me
If you look at more than just what you want to see
But you won't see me as i am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me around here again
You won't see me
I'll be movin on, i'll be long gone
