I Ain't Mo

Money don't make my world go 'round
I'm reaching up for the higher ground
To a warm and peaceful place
I can rest my weary face
Life's answers we're trying to find
Battling inside our minds
Where do i go from here?
Will all my friends be there?

Cause we're livin, livin in a crazy maze
And we're fighting, we're fighting to rise above the haze
Light's at the end of the tunnel
Sometimes the journey is long
There are many theories
On who's right and who's wrong

Pressure is on i have to choose
I've got nothing to lose
I close my eyes i take a chance
I know there's different days
What's the key to a happy life?
A healthy mind and lots of spice.
Running barefoot through the trees
That's my idea of free

I've packed my bags i'm on my way
I don't know where i'm going to stay
I'm on a trainbound destiny
I can set my spirit free

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All i know, all i know, love will save the day
Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
My oh my heh, hey
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All i know, all i know, love will save the day
Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face
Oh oh oh remember
Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
My oh my heh, hey, hey
You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All i know, all i know, love will save the day
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All i know, all i know, love will save the day

Little child, my eyes they see your pain
My heart cries, when i hear you cry again
Frail and small, can you believe fifteen years old?
What is sad, he hasn't got far to go, oh oh, no no

Trying to figure out just where your life is goin'
Can you see the picture in the purple sky?
Silently you're walkin', but where are you headin'?
Questions terrorise, space inside your mind

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why
I'm strong enough for you,
Are you strong enough for me?
'cos down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

They try to take your soul and mind
But you won't let them
Never wear your destiny, outside your smile
Always talk in riddles, so you keep them guessing
Never criticise, keep an open mind

They're holding their hands, begging for some time
Can you spare a shilling, can you spare a life?
You try to give them food, but they just refuse you
Deep down inside, you know you've tried

When we were young we shared our dreams,
I was your queen, you were the captain of my sea
We felt we were the only ones to see
Mermaids combing their hair with coral brushes from the sea.

Chorus:
In my dreams you were food and wine
In my dreams we had space and time
In my dreams baby we could fly
In my dreams, you'll never die.
Sweet,sweet music, we made our own
The tree in our garden was our surrogate home
We drank lemonade and ate mud pies
We owned the land
Oh yes we owned the sky.

Chorus

Can you believe, every secret i had
I shared with you, yes with you
Always in our games
I took the blame for you, yes for you

Chorus

Can you believe, every secret i had
I shared with you, yes with you
Always in our games
I took the blame for you, yes for you

Chorus
