Northern Soul

People in power waste their time
To young and creative, to lives of crime.
Logic's a tool so very unusual,
We all had enough of the crack abuse.
It's time to change our nation's rules.
Freedom's a right, ignored by fools.
We choose our selves between right and wrong.
We've got to be free, we've got to be strong.

[chorus]
Life - could be so beautiful
If truth were known.
And life should be so wonderful
But it sears our soul.
Life - could be so beautiful.
Make your life your own.

They lived their life in a love-shy city.
They got no cure, they got no pity.
They got no taste, they got no vision
And gilted by their own malicement.
Tris jumped down for some fleet street clown
For straight lies as they come down.
All we need is a sense of truth
So why lay the blame on this nation's youth?

[chorus]

Make your life your own.

Freedom's a right not privilege.

Life never ending all transcending.
Play the game by the rules of ending.
Never surrender. lecture be spender.
Train for hours. hacienda.

[chorus] [x3]

[chorus]
Come on and walk with me through this landscape of love.

[chorus] [x2]

Free, free like the bird that is waiting to fly.
Free, free like the mountains, almost to the sky.

Free.

[chorus] [x2]

(come on and) [x4]

Hold my hand, walk across this land. (come on and) [x4]

(come on and)

[chorus] [x2]

I wake up in the morning, i think i want to drink
A cup filled with water from the kitchen sink.
Well the dog that we both love and raised from a pup...
And i tried to hide the pain, oh lord,
Every time i pick him up.

And all because i need you more
My whole world is falling down.

Oh-hoa, the tears in my eyes burn, we built this world within.
Turned my back on you when you had so much love to give.
Oh, this home is just a house, oh, a place to lay my head.
Oh, the roof must have a leak, oh lord,
'cos it's raining in my bed.

And all because i need you more
My whole world is falling down.
Oh yeah, falling all around.

I never knew that you would leave me
Even though you've been mistreated.
Oh, won't you know your love is needed now.
My whole world is falling down.

Since the day you've gone, i can't get no sleep.
Even a part-time job, my love, is mighty hard to keep.
Well, i miss the evening meal that you used to cook
And all my clothes are hanging off.
You should see the way i look.

And all because i love you more
My whole world is falling down.
Oh is falling all around.
Said is falling all around, yeah.

Mmmm (someday!) [x4]

The world is cold and times are bad.
Everytime i think about it, it makes me sad.
War and drugs are everywhere
And it's getting so hard to breathe the air.
But it doesn't have to be like this,
All the rancour and bitterness.
If we can just open our eyes
We can make this world a paradise.

Someday.
We'll live as one family in perfect harmony.
Someday.
If we all pull together we will all be free.

Someday (someday!) [x3]

Free from the pressure and the prejudice
We can change it all with tenderness.
There'll be no void between black and white.
We'll be able to walk the streets at night.
I won't be fooled while someone dies of starvation,
The whole world will be my nation.
We will walk hand in hand.
I'll go to south africa and be called woman.

Someday.
We'll live as one family in sweet harmony.
Someday.
If we all pull together we will all be free.

Mmmm, someday.
We'll all be free - mmmm, you and me.
Someday (someday!) [x3]
We will all be free, (someday) free, free!

Someday!
I wanna be
Someday!
Free!
Someday!
Free!
Someday! [x2]
Someday! (someday) [x2]
Someday!

Someday we'll all be free... [x2]
Hmm,
Someday [x6]
We'll all be free...
Hey i wanna be free, free, free!

There'll be no ghettos, no addiction.
All today's troubles will seem like fiction.
We will walk hand-in-hand.
I'll go to south africa and be called woman.

Someday (someday!) [x2]
Hey , i wanna be
Someday (someday!)
Free!
Someday...
[repeat to end]

When you find, when you find that your world is upside down
And you feel that life is a circus and you're the clown.
Don't give up, don't be down, don't let your face carry a frown.
Life's too short to waste it away.
It's your time, it's your day.

[chorus]
Oooh, it's your world.
(it's your world, it's your world yeah)
Oooh, it's your world.
(it's your world, it's your world yeah, heh, heay)

When you wake, when you wake up this morning it's your day.
You can make, you can make it your own world, rest or play.
So much to see, so much to do.
Dream all your dreams and make them come true.
It's your time don't waste it away.
Live for tomorrow, live for today.

[chorus]
(yeah, yeah, yeah, it's your world)

Never stop dreaming, never stop scheming.
Keep on reaching, children need teaching.
Open your hearts, stand up, and be bold.
Don't make life make you feel old.

[chorus]

Oooh, it's your world.
Life's too short to waste it away.
(oooh, it's your world)
Live each second of every day. (yeah heh)
Oooh, it's your world.
(it's your world, it's your world yeah)
Oooh, it's your world.
(oooh, it's your world yeah, heh, heay)
Oooh, it's your world.
(oooh, it's your world yeah)
Oooh, it's your world.
(oooh, it's your world yeah, heh, heay)

You're my masterpiece, my priceless friend,
My inspiration, love 'til the end.
Like a ray of light, a flower in bloom,
You change the day, sun and moon.

[chorus] [x2]
Colour my life, ooh child you've got to
Colour my life. mmmm i said
Colour my life.
Fill my canvas with everything nice.

Like a cactus flower in the desert sand,
An oasis of love in a desolate land,
Our emotions flow, paint from a brush.
Sweet thing i love you oh so much.

[chorus] [x3]

Colour my life, ooh child you've got to
Colour my life. mmmm i said
Colour my life. mmmm i said,
Fill my canvas with everything nice.
