It's time that you know
It's now that you show
It's now that you show
That we are one
(that we are one)

How in the world can we speak in one language
Can you even count all the voices to hear
How in the world can we speak in one language
Let all the people be heard loud and clear

In handshakes and high fives
Slow dances
With stolen kisses
Romances
In stares and smiling faces

How in the world can we speak in one language
How do you say
Say you understand

It's time that you know
It's now that you show
It's now that you show
That we are one
(that we are one)
It's time that you know
It's now that you show
Let us speak as one
Let's speak as one...yeah

It's time that you know
It's now that you show
Let us speak as one
Let's speak as one...

In tapping your feet
To a different beat
In humming a song
To find where words belong

CHORUS

Walk on, she's gone
Better leave the girl alone
Walk on, she's gone
Don't even call her on the telephone
Walk on, move on now
You've got to be strong, so they told me
But when i see you and my heart drops
I still remember and it won't stop
The night i kissed you on the rooftop
We reached up and touched the sky
But then you told me goodbye
Don't try to tell me that a man don't cry

Chorus

My friends they want me to forget you
Pretend i never even met you
I try to smile but i bet you
Loneliness and tears still show
One thing that nobody knows
You hold my heart and you won't let it go

Chorus

And if i get you back you'll see
All the love in me
So take my hand and
Your heart will grow stronger (heart will grow stronger)
Never, never, never let it go..

Chorus to fade

See her
Dreamin'
Don't wake me
'Cos it's real
Angel

Come fly
Through the sky
I see
A distant light
It's burning so bright
A mystical sight
A glorious flight
In the moonlight

So it's a secret I can tell you 'bout
What I saw, it was astounding now
Want this feeling forever in my life

Can you see her
Am I dreamin'
Please don't wake me
'Cos it's real
She's my angel

Angel
Can you see her
Am I dreamin'
Please don't wake me
'Cos it's real

She's my angel
She's my angel
Angel
She's my angel

I'm dreamin'
Of love
I'm jumping
Between the clouds
Come rain or come shine
I'm falling up to heaven
Race all through the night
Pray magic's in the air

So it's a secret I can tell you 'bout
What I saw, it was astounding now
Want this feeling forever in my life

Can you see her
Am I dreamin'
Please don't wake me
'Cos it's real
She's my angel

In this world of confusion
Under the same sun
Save us from complication
Let the message run
I was speaking so many tongues
In a voice loud and clear
We'll bridge communications
Let the message run

So do I have to talk to another?
Can we speak as one?
And if we talk to each other
We should all be
We should all be
We should all be one
One

Let us run free
Oh let us see (oh let us see)
and through the eyes of a child
Let the message run free (free)

Let us run free (let us run free)
Oh let us see (oh let us see)
Through the eyes of a child
Let the message run free

Through the wires like lightening
Over land and ocean, yeah
No more in isolation
We should all be

We should all be one

Your love is temptation
Racing through my veins
Temptation
Stop playing silly games
Temptation
Ain't that a crying shame
Temptation
To me

Some call it evolution
I just call it odd
All these indecisions
People playing God
And Heaven and earth can take one piece of me
But I'm taking all of you

And so
Your love is temptation
Racing through my veins
Temptation
Stop playing silly games
Temptation
Ain't that a crying shame
Temptation
To me

I got a crazy notion
Something's coming over me (yeah)
You gave me some kind of potion
Now I've lost reality
Heaven and earth can take one piece of me
But I'm taking all of you

And so
Your love is temptation
Racing through my veins
Temptation
Stop playing silly games
Temptation
Ain't that a crying shame
Temptation

Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
Temptation
To me
Temptation
To me

Heaven and earth can take one piece of me
But I'm taking all of you

And so

Stop playing silly games
Temptation
Ain't that a crying shame
Temptation
Your love is temptation
Racing through my veins
Temptation
Stop playing silly games
Temptation
Ain't that a crying shame
Temptation
To me

I was afraid
Of ever letting you in now
And showing you my heart
Was something that won't begin
I was on a road
Blown by the wind
Life was just a stormy sea
Just waiting to rescind

But you lift me up
And you give me hope
And with every breath in my body
I want the world to know why

She is the one that I am certain of yeah
She is the one that I am sure of oh yeah
She is the one
She is the one
And I thank the Lord for what she's done

I was amazed
Too good to be true
You know I never planned this
Coming out of the blue
So off that road
I've made my mistakes
I open up to you now
Hope your heart will not break

But you lift me up
And you give me hope
And with every breath in my body
I want the world to know why

She is the one, that I am certain of yeah
She is the one, that I am sure of oh yeah
She is the one
She is the one
And I thank the Lord

She is the one that I am certain of yeah
She is the one and I thank the Lord
For what she's done
Thank the Lord
For what she's done
And I thank the Lord for what she has done

Oooh

No one seems to think too much of me here
and they're glad to tell it to my face
And though I am not suppose to be here
I'm completely out of place
Somehow there has got to be a reason
even as I try to think it through
There's a bold from the blue

And I see a shooting star (And I see a star)
Set apart from all the rest
While the other stars are standing still (ooh)
He's on a quest
Every night this shooting star (Every night this star)
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in (ooh)
and he's longing to know why, why (longing to know why)

I feel so much better when it's night-time
That's when I can sort of disappear
When the sun is set and it's the right time
for pretending I'm not here
Sometimes I just start into the heavens
Wondering if the answer is inside
That's when I see the light

Of my sent that shooting star
On his way to who know's where (On his way to who know's where)
He's a one like all the stars (ooh)
But he outshines out there (shines out there)
And the solitary star (solitary star)
Is an awful lot like me (ooh)
On an endless search through time and space
Far a place that won't seem wrong (place that won't seem wrong)

If we both hang on for long enough
we both somehow are strong enough
We'll find out were we belong

Every night this shooting star (every night this star)
dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in (ooh)
and he's longing to know why (why)
Know why (why)
Why (why)
Why (why)
Know why (why) (to fade)

Live your life to the fall
With a lifetime of smiles
Made us know right from wrong
Always knowing a lie
You made us to be tough
But never too rough
Rise above what you said
Never easily lead.

And one day we'll all sing along
'cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two

You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'cause this is your song

So i'll try and go on
Loving all that we know
Through the hardest of times
You put on a show

You made us stand tall
When all around us would fall
Even when you were alone
You believed you could fly

And one day we'll all sing along
'cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two

You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'cause this is your song

And one day we'll all sing along
'cause this is your song
We wrote it for you
It'll take all our lives
Just to help us get through
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'cause this is your song.

Get up and get over
Any old particular place
Get up and get over
Ain't nobody dragging me down
(nobody, nobody)

Don't you know that
Hey, it's a great day
Wake an early hour
Get up and take a shower
Pray in some way
Take all the sunny weather
We'll spend the time together
We can take this dream and last forever
We can make it as one

Get up and get over
Show me you want it
Any old particular place
Get up and get over
I know we'll get closer
Ain't nobody dragging me down
(nobody, nobody)

Get up and get over
Show me you want it
Any old particular place

I know we'll get closer
Ain't nobody dragging me down

Don't you know that plain name like Jane
Never no doubt about it
She won't live without it
I say it's a fine way
To have you home by eleven
When we're in seventh heaven
That we can take this dream and last forever
We can make it as one

It's all in a perfect way
Just a part of the perfect way
And as long as the world goes around
I will pray as i lay me down
At the end of a perfect day
I wake to greet another morning
And feel the cold beneath my feet
I rise to hear my future calling
It's calling to me

I watch the people through my window
Then turn the radio up loud
And then i sit and watch the sun go
And i know as the rain's coming down

Chorus

Everybody needs some highs and lows
I guess we're lucky to be here
And i don't care which way the wind blows
Cos i know through the laughter and the tears

Chorus

Just a part of the perfect way
And as long as the world goes around
I will pray as i lay me down
At the end of a perfect
At the end of a perfect
At the end of a perfect day

I sit and watch the time go by
Can someone please tell me the reason why
How can a man stay dignified
When all he does is cry inside?
I need to know
And question how I'm feeling
I have to know
Why girl, it's still been keeping us apart (yeah yeah)

If I ask myself
What you mean to me
If I could reach inside
I'd see that you're everything I've waited for
And I tell myself what you mean to me
I'm down on my knees for you
Praying you'll hear what I'm saying
Believe me its true (yeah yeah)
I'm waiting for you

Do you feel alone
On your own tonight
And would you like someone to hold you tight
We've gotta keep this love alive
Hand in hand and side by side

I need to know
Please tell me how your feeling
Guess you should know
Why girl its still been keeping us apart (yeah yeah)

If I ask myself what you mean to me
If I could reach inside
I'd see that you're everything I've waited for
And I tell myself what you mean to me
I'm down on my knees for you
Praying you'll hear what I'm saying believe me its true (yeah yeah)
I'm waiting for you

Right here for you
Waiting for you
I'm waiting for you

I keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you babe
And a happiness that died
I let it get away
Keep paying every day

When you were so in love with me
I played around like I was free
Thought I could have my cake and eat it too
And how I cried over losing you

See I'm down and out
And I ain't about to go
Living my life without you
Hey every day, I made you cry
I'm begging girl, 'til the day I die

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe
With a burning love inside
Yeah I'm working my way back to you, babe
And a happiness that died
I let it get away
Keep paying every day

I used to love to make you cry
It made me feel like a man inside
If I had been a man in reality
Then you'd be here baby loving me

Now my nights are long
And only a lion could prowl
Girl, I guess we're too slow
Girl, but you're too proud
And you won't give in
But when I think about all I can't win

CHORUS

My heart is kind of low
I just gotta get back home

I'm really sorry
For acting that way
I'm really sorry
Ooh, little girl
I'm really sorry
For throwing away our love
Sweet little girl
I'm really sorry
For making you cry
I really need you
Don't you hear me talking to you
Really sorry
For telling you lies
For so long
Oh please

CHORUS X 2

Working, working
I'm really working
Working baby
Can't you see me working..(fade out)

You took the lot and there's only dirt
You took the bet and you lost my shirt
You walked my dog and you let it run away
You took yourself on a holiday
You said you needed to get away
Then I got a postcard from the room...

Here I must have known you
For so many years but
You always seemed to slip away...

(Where have you been?)
I'm been upon the sea
(Where have you been?)
Out on the Twilight Zone
(Where have you been?)
I've been to the other side
and it's good to be back home..
(Yeah yeah yeah)

Two potatoes you won't get far
You got some air and blew yourself away..
Here I must have known you
For so many years but
You always seemed to slip away...

(Where have you been?)
Laying upon the sea
(Where have you been?)
Out on the Twilight Zone
(Where have you been?)
I've been to the other side
and it's good to be back home..
(Yeah yeah yeah)

(Where have you been?)
I've been on a rocket ride
(Where have you been?)
I've been for a million miles
(Where have you been?)
I've been to the other side
and it's good to be back home..
I said it's good to be back home..

I don't know, but I believe
That some things are meant to be
And that you'll make a better me
Everyday I love you

I never thought that dreams came true
But you showed me that they do
You know that I learn somethng new
Everyday I love you

'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad
It's a smile when I get mad
All the little things I am
Everyday I love you

Everyday I love you boy
Everyday I love you

'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)

And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul

If I asked would you say yes?
Together we're the very best
I know that I am truly blessed
Everyday I love you
And I'll give you my best
Everyday I love you

Toi, tu m'ainais plus fort que tout
Et moi j'allias courir partout
J'voulais tout avour en meme temps
Maintenant je pleure comme un enfant

See I'm down and out but I ain't about to go

Ton absence, tes silences
Oui tu joues un jeu qui me rend fou

Pardonne-moi
Let's start romance
Pardonne-moi
Let's start again
Pardonne-moi
Je veux t'aimer encore et encore et encore et encore

CHORUS to fade

Un poco de ti para sobrevivir
De esta noche que viene fria y sola
Un aire de exstasis en la ventana
Para vestirme de fiesta y ceremonia
Cada vez que estoy contigo
Yo descubro el infinito
Tiembla el suelo, la noche se ilumina
Y el silencio se vuelve melodia

Y es casi una experiencia religiosa
Sentir que resucito si me tocas
Subir al firmamento prendido de tu cuerpo
Es una experiencia religiosa
Casi una experiencia religiosa
Contigo a cada instante a cada cosa
Besar la boca tuya merece una aleluya
Es una experiencia religiosa

Vuelve pronto mi amor
Te necesito ya
Porque esta noche tan onda me da miedo
Necesito la musica de tu alegria
Para callar los demonios que llevo dentro

Cada vez que estoy contigo
Ya no hay sombra, ni peligro
Las horas pasan mejor entre tus brazos
Me siento nuevo ya nada le hago caso

Y es casi una experiencia religiosa
Sentir que resucito si me tocas
Subir al firmamento prendido de tu cuerpo
Es una experiencia religiosa
Casi una experiencia religiosa
Contigo a cada instante a cada cosa
Besar la boca tuya merece una aleluya
Es una experiencia religiosa

Y es casi una experiencia religiosa
Sentir que resucito si me tocas
Subir al firmamento prendido de tu cuerpo
Es una experiencia religiosa
Casi una experiencia religiosa
Contigo a cada instante a cada cosa
Besar la boca tuya merece una aleluya
Es una experiencia religiosa
