Is there someone to hear my prayer? I'm a simple man with simple words to say Is there some point in asking? Asking for more only got us where we are today Lost and alone and afraid Give me, love for the lonely Give me, food for the hungry Give me, peace in a restless world Give me, hope for the children Give me, a worldwide religion Give me, peace in a restless world Dear God, can you hear me crying? A whole world crying Looking for something to say We had it all and we threw it all away Is there somebody watching Somebody watching over the mess that we've made We're lost and alone and afraid Give me, love for the lonely Give me, food for the hungry Give me, peace in a restless world Give me, hope for the children Give me, a worldwide religion Give me, peace in a restless world And we need to know there's something good Though all our years of solitude go on and on and on... Give me, love for the lonely Give me, food for the hungry Give me, peace in a restless world Give me, hope for the children Give me, a worldwide religion Give me, peace in a restless world Dear god, is there somebody out there, Is there someone to hear my prayer Drums: Mark Brzezicki Bass guitar: Steve Brzezicki Additional keyboards: Robbie Kilgore @SONG: The Leaving (So Long) I'll walk away from my town See which way the wind blows my future - Oh Find what's before me There must be something better Must be something more than I've had so far Something new, something good, something worth being put here for So long, So long, So long Move into the city Find myself a job with a purpose - Oh I'll work for a reason And hope that reject turns to warm self-respect And I'll start to live Live the life that I thought would be mine From the day I was born So long, So long, So long Find myself a partner Turn my partner into a family - Oh We'll grow old together Then I'll know that it can be All that it should be and then And only then I'll know that I've had What by rights is mine So long, So long, So long @SONG: Just For You Just for you, I could fly Just for you, I could walk the oceans I would cross all divides To satisfy your whims and notions For you, I could break the system I would take every blow Survive upon a poor man's wisdom And if you want I'd chase the world away And when you cry I'd kiss the tears away Just for you, I would cry Just for you, I would fall down to my knees And pray that I could raise a love that's fit to please you And if you're lonely I will be with you If you're in doubt I'll tell you what to do I would take your hand and I'll lead you through I'd give my very soul to be with you And when infatuation fades I'll still be by your side I will be there when you call There's not one thing I wouldn't do That I couldn't do at all that I wouldn't do at all Just for you, I would change Just for you, I would break the system I would take every blow Survive upon a poor man's wisdom Bass guitar: Mark King Drums: Mark Brzezicki Additional keyboards: Robbie Kilgore @SONG: Hell To Heaven If I could understand why one land Throws aside what others need to survive Then maybe I could justify what I am seeing I can't quite accept that we who have so much watch others die Who designed this world we live in? Hand giving a hand Giving the world a helping hand It's falling around us now If I could understand why one man Lifts his hand to strike another down Then maybe I'd believe the reasons that I'm given I'd like to think it's just a few Who make the rest of us comply Who designed this world we live in? Help turn round this hell to heaven Hand giving a hand Giving the world a helping hand It's falling around us now Help turn round this hell to heaven Help turn round this hell to heaven Who designed this world we live in? Help turn round this hell to heaven Who designed this world we live in? Help turn round this hell to heaven Who designed this world we live in? Additional keyboards: Robbie Kilgore @SONG: Lied One thing I know I've learned over all The more that you trust The harder you fall The more you believe The more you recall You'll see the signs You'll hear the sound When your feeling of hope Is turned upside down My hope lay in tatters Lying cold on the ground When I found You lied Form your head down to your toes You lied But somehow I know I'll survive And I can't believe another word you say So go your way You lied You lied From your head down to your toes, you lied But somehow I know I'll survive And I can't believe another word you say So go your way You lied Every little word you said, you whispered lies And right now I despise Every thing I find that came from you 'Cos I hurt too You lied You lied As you looked me in the eyes, I say you lie But somehow I knew I'd get by When nothing seems to matter anymore Who did you lie for You lied From your head down to your toes, you lied But somehow I know I'll survive And I can't believe another word you say So go your way You lied Every little word you said, you whispered lies And right now I know I despise Every thing I find that came from you 'Cos I hurt too You lied Bass guitar: Steve Brzezicki @SONG: Homeland Sometimes I find the ghost from behind me won't go You think by this time You'd be gone from my mind But it isn't so Sometimes I hear your voice ringing clear on the radio Hearing you tell words that I knew so well Not so long ago And though it's changed for us all I know you will always be near And though you watch from afar I know where you are You walk the homeland I remember that night Of that year when the tears wouldn't clear my eyes I'd seen it before Like a dream I'd ignore It was no surprise I tried to pretend that the madness would end and you'd realise That all that was left was the whisper of death and your children's cries And though it's changed for us all I know you will always be near And though you watch from afar I know where you are You walk the homeland You slipped away like snow in a warm hand You welcomed that warm hand You made it too easy Additional keyboards: Robbie Kilgore @SONG: Remembrance Day While I was standing I saw Two men before my eyes, Isaw One man all dressed in truth The other man was dressed in lies One man held green and gold The other man blue, white and red And they smiled as they held guns to our heads While I was standing I saw Two men before my eyes Watch as the rain begins to fall Like tears from heaven on us all To clean the sins we've made And wash them away, wash them away While I was standing I saw Two countries go to war, I saw Faces of children wondering What their friends were fighting for A crowd of people stood in silence On Remembrance Day and I cried As they blew them all away While I was standing I saw Two men before my eyes Watch as the rain begins to fall Like tears from heaven on us all To clean the sins we've made And wash them away, wash them away While I was standing I saw Two men with one God to share Both wanting peace by war Both want to win by prayer How long before they find This holy war a heinous sin And they find that there's nothing left to win Drums: Mark Brzezicki Bass guitar: Mick Karn Additional keyboards: Robbie Kilgore
