All I Ask

All I Ask
I’m just a poor boy
There was nothing I could do
I never had a chance, unlike you
I worked so hard all my days
The money I earned was spent before I got paid
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
Yeah, I made enemies along the road
I’ve seen so many stories still to be told
If I’ve done wrong then please forgive
We never know how long we get to live
I’ve known love for most of my time
Been through dark tunnels along the line
Been through times they were good and were bad
I’ve been happy and I’ve been sad
But all I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection, with affection
I tried not to hurt anyone
At one time I followed The Son
Never forget we’re made of dust
To dust we’ll return when we must
I wanna live for as long as I can
But the truth is that I’m just a man
I’ll accept my fate when the time comes
And my soul will fly up towards the sun
All I ask, all I ask when my day is done
That I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone
All I ask when my day is done
Is that I’ll be remembered with affection by everyone, with affection

How Long Must We Wait?

How Long Must We Wait?
I’ve been waiting for you to come
Like night time waits for the rising sun
To give light and life to this earth
Like a good Mother giving birth
I’ll follow you till the end of time
For as long as the sun continues to shine
For as long as the earth turns in space
How long, how long till I see your face?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long, how long must I wait?
Your face will shine brighter than the sun
You will be seen by everyone
There’s a donkey in the stable
He’s willing, ready and able
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
One day you’ll be here
I can’t say what day or year
For I know and believe that it’s true
I have always put all my faith in you
Just give us the word
That all the world will hear
That you’re on the way
I can’t wait for that day
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait?
How long must I wait, Lord?
Your face will shine brighter than the sun
You will be seen by everyone
There’s a donkey in the stable
He’s willing, ready and able
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
Tell me, how long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
How long must we wait?
Tell me, how long?

Bridges And Walls

Bridges And Walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
I’ve been to many lands with different names
And I found there that everyone is the same
People are people wherever you go
They wanna be happy and see their children grow
Let’s build bridges for our children to cross
It really doesn’t matter what the cost
Come-on let’s help build that bridge of hope
That will bring together ordinary folk
Let’s build bridges and join our hands
So that everyone around the world will understand
Let’s knock down walls that stand wide and tall
So that ignorance and hate will eventually fall
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Walls keep you in and keep you out
That’s why they are built what they are all about
I’d much rather build a bridge than a wall
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
We’ll cross that bridge to the other side
We’ll join hands and nothing will divide
There’s always hope that we’ll be as one
After all we all see the same rising sun
Let’s build bridges for our children to cross
It really doesn’t matter what the cost
Let’s knock down walls that stand wide and tall
So that ignorance and hate will eventually fall
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Bridges and walls
Walls keep you in and keep you out
That’s why they are built what they are all about
I’d much rather build a bridge than a wall
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all
Peace and happiness to one and all
And bring peace and happiness to one and all

Those Were The Days
05:25
|

Were Those The Days?
Those were the days of wine, women and song
Oh Mary, don’t tell me that I’m wrong
Has nostalgia made me blind?
Can I be so wrong this time?
Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?
Things were better then, or so they say
More time to breathe, more time to play
Maybe my mind's playing tricks
Now or then, should I pick?
I was younger then and in my prime
Things have changed with the passage of time
Things were slow, now they move too fast
In this day and age things aren’t built to last
This day and age things aren’t built to last
Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?
Those were the days of wine, women and song
Oh Mary, don’t tell me that I’m wrong
Has nostalgia made me blind?
Can I be so wrong this time?
Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?
Those were the days
Were those the days?
All lost in a foggy haze
Those were the days
Were those the days?

I Believe

I Believe
I believe in a better tomorrow
That's not far from today
I believe that pain and sorrow
Will disappear and go away
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
I believe, I believe
Don't hurt others with words or deeds
Don't turn your back on those in need
Teach your children to love and respect
Show them the way that's true and correct
I believe, I believe
I believe that we will see a new day
And we'll find a new way
I believe in pure love that's true
I believe you will one day too
I believe you will one day too
I believe, I believe
Learn from mistakes and grow within
Reach for the stars let life begin
Peace and love inside you are the keys
To open your heart and set you free
I believe, I believe, I believe
I believe in a better tomorrow
That's not far from today
I believe that pain and sorrow
Will disappear and go away
I believe, I believe

Angel Fallen From The Sky
Angel falling, Angel falling
Angel you fell from the sky
Right into the arms of mine
Angel fallen, Angel fallen from the sky
Angel fallen, Angel fallen from the sky, from the sky
I cleaned your dirty halo
I fixed your broken wings
Angel fallen, Angel fallen from the sky, Angel fallen
Angel our two hearts rolled
United soul to soul
Angel fallen from the sky
Angel fallen
I looked at your face
I looked in your eyes
I tried to believe
That belief hadn’t died
Angel fallen
Angel fallen from the sky, from the sky
He’s knocking at the door
He’s a friend of mine and yours
Says ‘Come back where you belong
You’ve been away too long
Angel fallen from the sky’
Try to fly up, fly up to the sky
You don’t belong here but on high
I fixed your wings now you can fly
I fixed your wings now you can fly
Angel fallen from the sky
Angel you fell from the sky
You fell from the sky, you fell from the sky
Right into the arms of mine
Angel fallen from the sky
I cleaned your dirty halo
I fixed your broken wings
Angel fallen from the sky
Angel our two hearts rolled
With our soul to soul
Angel our two hearts rolled
With our soul to soul
Angel fallen from the sky
Angel fallen from the sky
Angel fallen from the sky
Angel fallen from the sky
Fallen from the sky
Fallen from the sky
Fallen from the sky
Angel fallen from the sky

Am I Good Enough For You?
You took me in and touched my soul
I was broken up you made me whole
Am I good enough for you?
You showed me again how to live
I was empty you made me give
Am I good enough for you?
Are your emotions just a game
Ecstasy and pain are they the same
Am I good enough for you?
Am I good enough for you?
You healed my scars
You felt my pain
You followed me then
Through the pouring rain
Am I good enough for you?
Am I good enough for you?
Sharing love with only you
My love will always be true
Am I good enough for you?
I was lost with you I'm found
My love for you knows no bounds
Am I good enough for you?
Am I good enough for you?
You took me in and touched my soul
I was broken up you made me whole
Am I good enough for you?
Are your emotions just a game
Are they the same
You healed my scars
You felt my pain
You led me then
Through the pouring rain
Am I good enough for you?
Am I good enough for you?
Sharing love with only you
My love will always be true
Am I good enough for you?

The River is Wide
04:42
|

The River Is Wide
The river’s so wide
Carry me a cross
Carry me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide
Carry me a cross
Carry me across
To the other side
The river is wide
I crossed the Jordan to be where you are
Your love is greater than the brightest star
I’ll be with you till the end of the earth
Only you know what my love for you is worth
The river is wide, the river is wide, the river is wide
The river’s so wide
Carry me a cross
Carry me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide
Carry me a cross
Carry me across
To the other side
I am found where once I was lost
It took so long to carry me across
You carried me safe in your arms
You protected me from hurt and harm
I can’t believe that I survived
I can’t believe that I’m here alive
You helped me to make it through
I wouldn’t have made it without you
The river is wide, the river is wide,
The river is wide, the river is wide
The river’s so wide
You carried me a cross
You carried me across
To the other side
I’ll always be by your side
My love for you I cannot hide
You saved me from my certain fate
I’ll face the world and all its hate
Though I face scorn every day of the week
You taught me how to turn the other cheek
They can’t understand what it is I feel
That my love for you is eternally real
The river’s so wide
You carried me a cross
You carried me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide, the river’s so wide
You carried me a cross
You carried me across
To the other side
The river’s so wide
Everyone put your hand's together
The river is so wide
The river’s so wide

Years of Plenty
04:41
|

Years of Plenty
Father would tell me
With pride in his eyes
'Tomorrow you'll see
The Turtle-Dove fly
Just wait and see
Tomorrow they'll be
Years of plenty
Years of plenty
For you and me'
Although we were poor
And it was hard to cope
Life was like a war
'Never give up hope'
It's what he'd say to me
'Your spirit will fly free
Yes, in years of plenty
For you and me'
'To enjoy good times
You've had to suffer pain
To reach the sunshine
You had to walk in the rain'
'To enjoy good times
You've had to suffer pain
To reach the sunshine
You had to walk in the rain
Walk in the rain'
'The tunnel's so long
The end's within view
For we must be strong
To make it on through
Then when that time comes
Our hearts will sing
We'll dance in the sun
We'll dive in the spring
Years of plenty
For you and me
Years of plenty
For you and me
Years of plenty
For you and me
Years of plenty
For you and me'
I'm staring at the door
Waiting for that knock
Since Father's been gone
I've felt I've been lost
But I remember that
What he'd say to me
As I sat on his knee
Is 'Always believe
In years of plenty
For you and for me
For you and for me'
Years of plenty
Years of plenty
Years of plenty
For you and me
Years of plenty, Lord

The Answer To My Prayers

The Answer to My Prayers
The day is almost done
I haven’t yet begun
To think about the night
When the stars shine bright
Lighting from the power above
Lighting his love
The sun is sinking low
It must be time to go
I feel a chilly breeze
Blow through my memories
Calling to the power above
Calling for love
A star from heaven fell
A good sign I could tell
I made a wish inside
I opened up my eyes
Wishing to the power above
Wishing for love
When I called out through the air
I knew that you were there
Telling me that you cared
You were the answer to my prayers
You were the answer to my prayers
At night I’m not alone
I feel it in my bones
I feel Him here with me
I feel it completely
Dreaming to the power above
Dreaming of love
A rainbow lights the way
It shines bright in the day
Follow it to the end
Though it winds and it bends
Leading to the power above
Leading to love
When I called out through the air
I knew that you were there
Telling me that you cared
You were the answer to my prayers
When I called out through the air
I knew that you were there
Telling me that you cared
You were the answer to my prayers
You were the answer to my prayers
You were the answer to my prayers
You were the answer to my prayers
You were the answer to my prayers

I Have a Dream
I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream
There’s a new day a-dawning
There’s a dove in the sky
It’s a wonderful morning
To be alive
There’s a baby crying
There’s lambs in the fields
Butterflies are flying
Over the hills
A time of peace
Over this world
Hatred has ceased
For men, women, boys and girls
For men, women, boys and girls
There’s no more war
Or hurt or pain
Now there’s no locked doors
And falls pure rain
Man has ceased
After all this time
To uncage the beast
Hear the bells chime
Hear the bells chime
A time of peace
Over this world
Hatred has ceased
For men, women, boys and girls
The walls are down
There are no lines
Dividing the towns
With no entry signs
Love has won
We hoped it would
Destroy the guns
Now do only good
Now do only good, only good
Love has won
We hoped it would
Destroy the guns
Now do only good
A time of peace
Over this world
Hatred has ceased
For men, women, boys and girls
I have a dream
I believe will come true
I have a dream
Will you share it too?
I have a dream
I believe will come true
I have a dream
Will you share it too?
I have a dream
I have a dream
I have a dream
I have a dream
I have a dream

In The Vineyard

In The Vineyard
These hazy days these lazy days
Will last forever I pray
With the sun up above
Shining down with love
As sweat runs down my brow
I wish you were here now
Walking through the vineyard so green
With the sweetest grapes ever seen
Come pick the fruit of the vine
Come let’s drink the sweet wine
Come let’s eat the bread
And remember The One risen from the dead
In the cellars like a tomb
The wine will ferment and bloom
Fill the caskets of brown oak
Seal the corks with fire and smoke
Our cup is full and overflows
One day we’ll reap what we sow
I live here under the sun
I always knew you were The One
Sometimes I strayed and got lost
But trying to be free has its cost
Looking up to the top of that hill
It seems that time has forever stood still
Walking through the vineyard so green
With the sweetest grapes ever seen
Come pick the fruit of the vine
Come let’s drink the sweet wine
Come let’s eat the bread
And remember The One risen from the dead
When the moon replaces the sun
When my working day is done
Sweet Mary, let me lie in your arms
When the moon replaces the sun
When my working day is done, is done
Sweet Mary, let me lie in your arms
Sweet Mary, it’s the only place I can feel safe from harm
When the moon replaces the sun
When my working day is done
Sweet Mary, let me lie in your arms
Sweet Mary, it’s the only place I can feel safe from harm, from harm

We Were The Young Ones
03:44

We Were The Young Ones
We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
I was well schooled and well read
We were the young ones
My back aches my feet are like lead
We were the young ones
All these memories ringing in my head
I woke up this morning
With the sun in my eyes
Alone in my bed
And the room full of flies
I switched on the TV
With the remote control
There was a plastic woman
Saying she’s 'the new living doll’
We were the young ones
Like a shiny new car
We were the young ones
Now covered in marks and scars
We were the young ones
All fresh and unwed
We were the young ones
Well these tyres have worn treads
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
I’ve been rocking and rolling
For most of my days
Been through the rain
And the purple haze
Never ever thought
As I went round the world
That girls could be boys
And that boys could be girls
We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
We’ve all been so mislead
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
People just don’t talk anymore
It’s all done by text
Feelings are cheap
Like throwaway sex
I was always taught to show respect
I’m told I’m like an old shipwreck
We were the young ones
My back aches my feet are like lead
We were the young ones
All these memories ringing in my head
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last
We were the young ones
In those times well past
We were the young ones
I wish those times could last
We were the young ones
Or so they all said
We were the young ones
We’ve all been so mislead
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones
Oh we were the young ones
We were the young ones
We were the young ones

Show Me The Way l
So dark is The Way
And cold is the night
It’s so easy to stray
Show me your light
From the circle of ice
To the ring of fire
The darkness will rise
On the wings of desire
By the light of thy soul
Show me the way
By the light of thy soul
Everyday
I was lost in the night
And you showed me the way
Turned darkness to light
By you I’ll stay
From the circle of ice
To the ring of fire
The darkness will rise
On the wings of desire
By the light of thy soul
Show me the way
By the light of thy soul
Everyday
You’re the first and the last
You’re the light of this earth
You’re the future and past
You gave my life worth
By the light of thy soul
Show me the way
By the light of thy soul
Everyday, everyday, everyday
