Chicago Ii

We know it's hard for you to see
That this is all we want to be
A constant urge within us grows
To do the thing that we propose

We tried so hard to make the grade
By making music day to day
Although our task is never done
You ought to know it's just begun

And now it's time for us to say
But most of all we like to play
A song or two that makes you feel
Like all the good in you is real

Together now we've lots to hear
To warm my heart to shed a tear
So come and listen if you choose
And feel a joy you'll never lose
So everybody listen
Yeah
Everybody please give a listen

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up i close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much i can take
Should i try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like i ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

A warm summer night
The moon above us
The stars for a wish come true
Are memories of love
A motionless pound
A beautiful swan
The smell of flowers growing near
Make me shed a tear
Memories of love gone by
Make me stop and cry
Now i kneel and pray
For the lord took her today
And all that's left to think of
Are memories of her love

As time goes on
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now
Now that you're near
Promise your love
That i've waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you

If you'd like to get together
Then come right over to me
Ooh, we can do anything
That you like to do

If you'd like to give your love
Then please just feel free
Because i may be gone tomorrow
And not even know your name

Now please don't misunderstand my loneliness
Let's never ever talk of time
Cause friends may fade away
And our hopes will say goodnight
And our friendship would be lost
It would be such a waste of time
So let's just
Let's have a good thing girl
And let's not worry
Let's do everything we want
And let's not cry
When it's over
When i leave
Our thing won't die

If you really understand
Then come right over to me
We can play together for a while
And still be free

Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again i see your face smiling inside

I'm so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you're near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

Living life is just a game so they say
All the games we used to play fade away
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago

Oh my darling
Got to have you
Feel the magic
When i hold you
Cry sweet tears of joy
Touch the sky

Going where the orange sun has never died
And your swirling marble eyes shine
Laughing
Burning blue the light
Bittersweet the drops of life
Memories only fading

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever did see
When we're down at the sea
We see things so very clear at the sea

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever can do
The morning covered with dew
We do things so very fine in the dew

Fancy colours
Fancy colours

All we ever do hear
But whether we're here or there
We hear things so very fine when we're there

Now i need you
More than ever
No more cryin'
We're together
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile

If the people only knew
If they could visualize
Just open their eyes
Even stop to think about
If they could open their minds
They could get beyond
The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny

Could the people understand
In only whisper and screams
And colorless dreams
Could they finally comprehend
If they could suddenly see
And suddenly feel

The world's a funny place you know
Most of what goes on
Is rarely funny
Rarely funny

Can't stand it no more
The people dying
Crying for help for so many years
But nobody hears
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend

Can't take it no more
The people hating
Hurting their brothers
They don't understand
They can't understand
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon

Hey, everybody
Won't you just look around
Can't anybody see?
Just what's going down
Can't you take the time?
Just to feel
Just to feel what is real
If you do
Then you'll see that we got a raw deal
They're killing everybody
I wish it weren't true
They say we got to make war
Or the economy will fall
But if we don't stop
We won't be around no more
They're ruining this world
For you and me
The big heads of state
Won't let us be free
They made the rules once
But it didn't work out
Now we must try again
Before they kill us off
No more dying!
No more killing
No more dying
No more fighting
We don't want to die
No, we don't want to die
Please let's change it all
Please let's make it all
Good for the present
And better for the future
Let's just love one another
Let's show peace for each other
We can make it happen
Let's just make it happen
We can change this world
Please let's change this world
Please let's make it happen for our children
For our women
Change the world
Please make it happen
Come on
Come on
Please
Come on
It's up to me
It's up to you
So let's do it now
Yeah
Do it now

Can't stand it no more
The people cheating
Burning each other
They know it ain't right
How can it be right
Better end soon my friend
It better end soon my friend
