Here

I know i should feel welcome here
Way up in the atmosphere
But i am afraid
And if i land on earth again
I'll be happy just to cut my face
While i shave

Now the sky is floating by
But i am not a cloud
And i've decided
I was not designed to fly

After all, i'm only sand
To irritate the oyster and
To wait for a pearl
And even though i must concede
Greatness has eluded me
I'd still miss the world

And i would have regrets
Were i to pirouette inside a metal jet
And i am not prepared
To sprout a pair of wings and fly

What a brave new world we live in
What amazing changes we're seeing
When science and man go hand in hand
What a brave new world we live in

Sometimes i think of the advantages we have
Over the people in the past
There is no end to all the choices we can make
And the miracles we use everyday

What a brave new world we live in
What amazing changes we're seeing
When science and man go hand in hand
What a brave new world we live in

Sometimes we look at all the problems we face
And we can only complain
But look around at the advances we've made
After all we used to live in a cave

What a brave new world we live in
What amazing changes we're seeing
We live in the sky and people can fly
What amazing things we try

Technology is a double-edged sword
Especially when it's used for the weapons of war
But when you think about the progress we've made
To cure a disease or travel into space
Or simply pick up the phone and talk around the globe
What amazing powers we hold

What a brave new world
When science and man go hand in hand
What a brave new world we live in

I lived inside a tear
Time magnified my fear
That the world around me
Was only getting more severe

On may 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And i saw the stars align
And i knew that it was meant to be

I didn't know at the time
My heart was on the line
But the world was turning
And suddenly the sun was shining

On may 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And i saw the stars align
And i knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun

Maybe when you saw me then
You thought i had the world at my feet
Maybe when you looked again
You saw how i was empty
In a city by the sun

On may 1, 1990
Something changed inside me
And i saw the stars align
And i knew that it was meant to be

In a city by the sun

Underneath a burning sky
The tenants of the fire
Sit in silence as they ponder
Survival in the wild

With our love to keep us up
There is nothing in the world
That can knock us down
We can take whatever comes
If we face it hand in hand
We can stand our ground

Just a couple of kids with clouds in our heads
Trying to swim upstream; trying to make it good
But it happened so fast; when disaster came
That a river of teardrops couldn't wash it away

How do we now view ourselves,
Sitting victims in a shelter needing help?
How do we now regain control
Over the remnants of our life without a home?

If a bomb had hit us, nothing less would remain
Not a wall to lean on; not a fork or a plate
But at least we made it out and we're still alive
And we're starting over now in the middle of the night

It's a matter of time; a struggle to survive
But it doesn't need to be a lonely fight
If we stand by each other
We'll be sure of our survival in the wild

Underneath a burning sky
The tenants of the fire
Sit in silence as they ponder
Survival in the wild

When the smoke had settled
From the angry fires
That burned away part of my life
Then i thought i was standing
On the edge of time
But through the haze
I saw a light

I don't know what it was
I thought i'd find
Nothing left under the stars
I swam across the sky
And pushed the clouds aside
To find you there with my heart
I've come a million miles to be with you
I swam across the sky
Here i am

Here...underneath the sun
Here...we're the only ones
Here
And when i see your face
It lights another day
And all my broken pieces
Fall into place

I've come a million miles to be with you
I swam across the sky
Here i am

The day is blue, there's nothing to do
But watch the sad review of life going by...

All the broken people in a world of hurt
And all the hungry people crying in the dirt
All the living people dying to be free
From all the suffering in between

I turn my eyes away from it all
But still a wall of pain resides in me
Turn on the news, the killing continues
And there but for the grace of god go i

All the worried people hiding in their cages
And all the homeless people lying on the pavement
All the desperate people clinging to their greed
While all the lonely people close their eyes to dream...

We're living in a world of hurt
Living in a world of hurt
All the angry people fighting in the streets
While all the children pray
For peace on earth
