A Full Moon in the Mountains

     High above the mountains an eagle is wandering 'cross the sky.

     It soars across the valleys, and way over the ocean to be by your side.

     Then spreadin' out its wings,

     it carries you on its back,

     across those seven seas,

     to where you and I can be free.

Chorus:

     Then it soars the mountain heights across a moonlite sky,

     it carries you on the winds circling higher all the while,

     I dreamt I was an eagle, so you and I would never be apart.

Vs2

     The cloud cover breaks, and a moonbeam shines across the sky,

     It shines clear across the mountains, to close the open space that's come between you and me.

     Then skips across the roof tops,

     to wrap around the world

     and shine a guild light,

     where ever you would be.

Chorus:

     Then it soars the mountain heights across a moonlite sky,

     it carries you on the winds circling higher all the while,

     I dreamt I was a moonbeam, so you and I, would never be apart.

Too Much Too Soon

     At night as you look to the west you'll notice that the sun sets with a sigh.

     As it travels o'er the earth it's sometimes glad the cloud obscures its sight.

     It sees how many people try to make ends meet

     and that all for one and one for all is nothing but a load of bull

     so many people say to him, 'I want to rule the world all for one'.

The Teacher

Chorus:

     We are all pupils & teachers lookin' for the light,

     that shines out between us through the darkest night,

     we are drawn together to help each other learn to live this life,

     we come around again and again

     until we get it right.

Into the Wild

     Now life has a rhythm that puts a beat in your stride,

     and nothing can beat the feelin' you get when the rhythm is right.

     And the love you give and the love you take are all for one cause;

     so you and I can live together as one.

     We're movin' on into the wild blue...

I Saw a Clown

     I saw a mountain without a summit, and a river with no-where to go.

     There was a stage and nobody on it,

     I was an actor without a show.

     Met an eagle afraid of heights,

     talked with an owl in broad daylight,

     gazed at a clear sky that wasn't blue,

     and saw myself without you.

Love & my Life

     When you said good bye and tha you didn't want to stay with till the end.

     I walked outside and I realised, what a big world it is we all live in.

     I nearly crumbled to the floor -

     when I saw you walkin' out the door I could see now

     how much love and life were one.

     Ooh ooh love and my life.

The Fire Within

    I've been walking on this road so long,

    Trying to find the dreams I've seen,

    That run wild across the fields,

    And on out to the deep blue sea.

    Yet all that I can ever find,

    All these eyes have ever seen.

    Is old highways and dusty roads,

    Wooden fences, and fallen trees.

Chorus:

    They say the road goes on forever,

    stretching out beyond the sky,

     And that there's a light that burns into the night,

     And a fire within that will never die.

Everything is (the Reverse)

     Chorus:

     And now looking back it would seem,

     as we stand with our backs to the wind,

     we're about to walk down two seperate roads

     and everything is the reverse,

     to what it would seem.

Take on the World

     But now you're tellin' me that you can't go.

     It hurts like hell to hear you talk like,

     you're sayin', "My life, it ain't goin' now where,

     and pretty soon I won't be here."

     It seems like only yesterday you were sayin',

     tellin' me you could take on the world.

Come Rain or Shine

     There's a hole in the sky where the sun is shinin' down,

     and you and I are walking hand in hand but hey,

     "What's the big idea?"

     We're lookin' for a place where we can find some shade

     but everybody else is thinkin' just the same,

     it's crowded in the shade....

No Regret

     She's better when she gets to sleep at night,

     she's not aware of what goes on in her mind,

     there's a movie that's playin' back to back every night

     and it make her scared when the sun goes down.....

     And now the time has come when she must walk away

     from a situation that's causing endless pain

     and so she's leavin' town.

     she's runnin' out of time, she dunno where to go,

     and pretty soon her mind is going to explode.

Why Pretend

     Your affection comes

     when you want to give it

     and it seems that you can only

     give when you can gain.

     But you better get

     everything you can

     'cause I'm leavin'

     on th midnight train.

Chorus:

     I so why is it that we hurt the ones we love?

     Why do we play with this gun

     Why do we play these games with each other?

So You're Having a Tough Time Too

     Runnin' through the hearts on man, there's a dream of another land,

     where we can be exactly what we wanna be,

     while the children of the streets are out there

     throwin' rocks at the moon,

     dreamin' of a place that they can all call home.

The Little Tin Box

     I gave you the key to my little tin box,

     that thing in my chest that I call my heart,

     but you turned around and left it out standing in the rain,

     ain't no good to anyone no more.
