Rockapella

drift away


Day after day i'm more confused
But i look for the light thru the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame-oh

Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away


Beginnin' to think that i'm wasting time>br> and i don't understand the things
I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me thru-oh


Chorus


When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' thru to soothe me


Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know i believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along
You're makin' me strong


Chorus

On the edge of town
I will wait for you

Breaking up a lonely world
I'll be satisfied
Making up another world
With you at my side


On the edge of town
I will wait for you
Breaking up is what we do
We're hurting too much
Making up is what we do
When we're needing to touch


I got ties-so do you
But i can't help myself
Whenever i see you


Running to me with your burning love
Like a wildfire
I'm caught in the flame of your burning love
It grows higher and higher


Breaking up you say goodbye
And shakin' your heart
Making up another lie
Can't keep us apart


I got ties-so do you
To somebody else
I got ties-so do you
But i can't help myself
Whenever i see you


Chorus


Ooh...how it burns me up
To my very soul
Ooh...i can't get enough
When it's burning out of control


Chorus

Rise up rise up
Oh rise and show your power
Rise up rise up
Dance into the sun
Rise up rise up
It's time for celebration
Rise up rise up
Spirits time has come
Spirits time has come

We want lovin' and laughter again
We want heartbeat
We want this madness to end
We want dancin'
Wanna run in the street
We want freedom to live in this peace
We want power
Wanna make it ok
Want to be singin' at the end of the day
Children to breathe a new life
We want freedom to love who we please


Chorus


Talkin' 'bout the right time to be workin' for peace
Wantin' all the tension in the world to ease
We want to love
Run wild in the streets
We want to be free
We want to be free
We want to be free
Talkin' 'bout a new way
About changin' our names
Talkin' ''bout buildin' the land of our dreams
This tightrope's gotta learn how to bend
We're makin' new plans
Gonna start it again
Gonna start it again
We're gonna start it again


Chorus


Lovin'
Singin'
Dancin'
Feelin'
Startin' again


Chorus

Darlin' cross my heart
I have but one wish
We'll never part
Believe me, i'm never gonna let you down
Whenever you need me
I'll be around

Love this is love
Can you tell that it's real
All i know is that it's feelin' like
Love, this is love, this is real


Without you i'd be a lonely guy
It's straight from my heart, girl
Never say goodbye
Hey baby from the look in your eyes
I feel a fever beginning to rise


Cause love this is love
When your heart's on fire
And you're filled with desire
It's love, this is love, this is real


Why should i resist
When your kisses are like magic
Your lips taste sweeter than wine
If you leave i believe
That it really could be tragic
I'd be going out of my mind


Oh baby, never gonna let you down
Whenever you need me, i'll be around
Without you i'd be a lonely man
It's straight from the heart, girl
United we stand


Love, this is love
Can you tell that it's real
All i know is that it's feeling like
Love, this is love, this is real


This is it
There ain't no stopping it
Don't quit
Put all of your heart in it


Baby, ooooh, baby, ooooh
Without you, i'd be a lonely man
Ohhh
United we stand


Love, this is love
When your heart's on fire
You're filled with desire
It's love, this is love, this is real


Love, this is love
Can you tell that it's real
All i know is that it's feeling like
Love, this is love, this is real
(repeat)

Time has a way of going by
Tomorrow becomes today
If the beat goes on
When the song is gone
Harmony finds her way

Another lover may walk you home
Another goodnight kiss
But there will never be
Oh there'll never be
Another night like this


Some other arms may hold you tight
A love you can't resist
But there will never be
Oh never be another night like this
Oh there'll never be
Oh there'll never be another night like this


Because one day we may look back
On where we've been
One lonely night we might
Wish we could be there once again


Another star might guide you home
Moonlight through the mist
We'll never recreate this simple twist of fate
No other night like this
No there will never be another night like this


Time has a way of going by
Tomorrow becomes today
If the beat goes on
When the song is gone
Harmony finds her way


Another lover may walk you home
Another goodnight kiss
But there will never be
Oh there'll never be another night like this
Oh no no there'll never be
Oh there'll never be another night like this
Oh there'll never be another night like this
