1. _ Love And Only Love
Long ago in the book of old,
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
A battle raged on the open page,
Love was a winner there overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait.
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love, will break it down
Break it down, break it down.
Tomorrow is a long long time if you're a memory
Trying to find peace of mind
Spirit come back to me,
Give me strength and set me free
Let me hear the magic in my heart.
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love, will break it down
Break it down, break it down.
Long ago in the book of old,
Before the chapter where dreams unfold
A battle raged on the open page,
Love was a winner there overcoming hate
Like a little girl who couldn't wait.
Love and only love will endure
Hate is everything you think it is
Love and only love will break it down
Love and only love.

2. _ Mother Earth
Oh, mother earth,
With your fields of green
Once more laid down by the hungry hand
How long can you give and not receive
And feed this world ruled by greed
And feed this world ruled by greed.
Oh, ball of fire
In the summer sky
Your healing light, your parade of days
Are they betrayed by the men of power
Who hold this world in their changing hands
They hold the world in their changing hands.
Oh, freedom land
Can you let this go
Down to the streets where the numbers grow
Respect mother earth and her giving ways
Or trade away our children's days
Or trade away our children's days.
Respect mother earth and her giving ways
Or trade away our children's days.

3. _ White Line
I came to you, when i needed a rest
You took my love, and put it to the test
I saw some things, that i never would have guessed
Feel like a railroad, i pulled a whole load behind.
That old white line is friend of mine
And it's good time we've been making
Right now i'm rollin' down the open road
And the daylight will soon be breaking.
I was adrift on a river of pride
It seemed like such a long easy ride
You were my raft but i let you slide
I've been down but i'm coming back up again.
And i'm rollin' down the open road
Where the daylight will soon be breaking
Right now i'm thinking 'bout these things that i know
But it's good time that we've been making.

4. _ Fuckin' Up
Mindless drifter on the road
Carry such an easy load
It's how you look, and how you feel
You must have a heart of steel.
Why do i keep fuckin' up?
I can see you on a hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath your flowing gown
Only i could bring you down.
Why do i keep fuckin' up?
Dogs that lick and dogs that bite
Hounds that howl through the night
Broken leashes are all over the floor
Keys left hanging in a swinging door.
Why do i keep fuckin' up?
Keep fuckin' up!

5. _ Love To Burn
Late one night i was walking in the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said: you gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta grow to be tall
And then she me told something, something that i'll never forget.
You got love to burn.
You better take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
In the valley of hearts there's a house full of broken windows
And the lovers inside just quarrel all the time
Why'd you ruin my life?
Where you takin' my kid?
And they hold each other saying: how did it come to this?
You got love to burn.
You better take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.
Late one night i was walking in the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said: you gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta grow to be tall
And then she me told something, something that i'll never forget.

6. _ Country Home
I don't like to go down to flats
'cause i can't park on a hill
Instead getting a rolling start
I have to pay the bill.
I guess i need that city life
It sure has lots of style
But pretty soon it wears me out
And i have to think to smile.
I'm thankful for my country home
It gives me peace of mind
Somewhere i can walk alone
And leave myself behind.
It's only someone else's potatoes
You pickin' someone else's patch
And if you go down there anyway
It very seldom lasts.
I found that out once long ago
And it sure got me confused
I still don't know which way to go
To lose those old spud blues.
I'm thankful for my country home
It gives me peace of mind
Somewhere i can walk alone
And leave myself behind.

7. _ Days That Used To Be
People say don't rock the boat, let things go their own way
Ideas that once seem so right, now have gotten hard to say
I wish i could talk to you, you could talk to me
'cause there very few of us left my friend
From the days that used to be.
Seem like such a simple thing to follow one's own dream
But possessions and concession are not often what they seem
They drag you down and load you down in disguise of security.
But we never had to make those deals
In the days that used to be.
Talk to me, my long lost friend, tell me how you are
Are you happy with your circumstance, are you driving a new car
Does it get you where you wanna go, with a seven year warranty
Or just another hundred thousand miles away
From days that used to be.

8. _ Mansion On The Hill
Well, i saw an old man walking in my place
And he looked at me, it could have been my face
He's words were kind but he's eyes were wild
He said: i got load to love, but i want one more child.
There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill.
Around the next bend, take the highway to the sun
Or the rocky road, it really don't matter which one
I was in hurry but that don't matter now
'cause i have to get off that road of tears somehow.
There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill.

9. _ Over And Over
At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down
My heart goes running back to you
I love the way you open up and let me in
So i go running back to you,
Over and over again.
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.
Remember the nights of love and that moment on the beach
That wasn't really too long ago
But we paid the price of time, and now it's out of reach
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.
Somewhere in a fire of love, our dreams went up in smoke
We danced beneath silver rain
Upon the fields of green, where time was just a joke
And now the feeling's just the same,
Over and over again.
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.
