so let it be We are the children of a thousand days, we are the people of the hard rain We are the children of a thousand days, we are the people of the hard rain We are the people of the hard rain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: LET'S STAY TOGETHER People walkin' round all lost and confused Ready to throw their lives out in the gutter Ain't no love between 'em, father to son, man to woman, brother to brother You and me we move in opposite directions Like two spheres on their separate planes Ain't nobody loved me better than you done So why can't we just find a way to (ooh) stay together Chorus: Let's stay together, life's too hard to make it all alone And peace and harmony don't come in packages with bows And true love ain't somethin' you find layin' around Don't you know, let's stay together Let's stay together Mothers don't you turn your backs on your children Children don't you leave the family Ain't no point in livin' life all by yourself So why can't we just find a way to (ooh) stay together chorus repeats 2x Let's stay together (repeats) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: DON'T WALK AWAY Standin' in the doorway, forgot to say one thing You've always had the power to lift my wings I know I shouldn't need so much, and we could say goodbye Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flyin' high We can start over darlin' it's clear, love is what brought you here Chorus: Don't walk away, oh, to see if I'll follow Don't walk away, victory's hollow Been that road, it didn't take us home Turn around, you won't be alone Somethin' brings us together, keeps tearin' us apart The wounded are much wiser, we'll just take it from the start We can start over darlin' it's clear, love is what brought you here chorus (Solo) We could start over darlin' it's clear, love is what brought you here chorus repeats 3x ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: TOO LONG A SOLDIER We were the children of 45, loaded like pistols and taught how to die We looked the enemy straight in the eye (and never surrender) Through trenches dug in the back of my mind, I go over the top time after time Me and the ones, we left behind (faces I'll always remember) Now there's no fight left within me, but the writing of this wrong As nations we're divided but as people we are one Like brothers in blood it seems that we've been too long a soldier In the city of monuments, among the flags of all governments The order of battle is written in the shadows of a hard black line Where people cry for a nation's scars And heros sleep beneath a blanket of stars Too young to die but never too old to play the general's game Now there's no life left within them, but their memory lingers on As nations we're divided but as people we are one For brothers in blood we sing that we've been too long a soldier Eternal flames blow in the wind, I've been too long a soldier Captain of the guard, I'm coming in, too long, too long a soldier I've seen so much worth dying for, so little worth killing over (Solo) Eternal flames blow in the wind, I've been too long a soldier Captain of the guard, I'm coming in, too long, too long a soldier I've seen so much worth dying for, so little worth killing over Soldiers gone before me, I will surely fade away My eyes have seen the glory and the suffering and the pain I've been too long a soldier, too long, too long a soldier I've been too long a soldier (too long a soldier) Eternal flames blow in the wind (too long a soldier) My eyes have seen the glory of (too long a soldier) Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: COOL ZERO Art attacks from subway walls, sprayed like bullets into concrete face Everywhere you turn knuckles are crackin' Suburban monkeys break ghetto habits, body guns loaded for a dime See 'em shed their celebrity skin for a life of trash and crime Chorus: Cool Zero, you wanna go where the wild ones go Cool Zero, you wanna know where the bodies are burned Crawlin' under every rock, you gotta see what time forgot (Cool Zero) Cool Zero, (Cool Zero) Nothin' stops the hit parade, money makers will be shaken down Everywhere you go, fingers are snappin' Commercial prophets shout revolution, throwin' dirt upon a good man's name Watch 'em sell his soul for shoes and dance upon his grave chorus - Cool Zero Cool Zero, (Cool Zero) Cool Zero In this junk food civilization they will eat and not think twice For a dance in the dragons jaws they will gladly pay the price An' eat their fill Headlines turn in violent days, run like blood across the printed page Everywhere you look, atoms are smashin' Politicians smilin' for the camera, and the pictures make you wanna scream Maybe baby, we'll just play it cool, like Elvis at 19 chorus - Cool Zero Cool Zero, (Cool Zero) Cool Zero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: CEREBRAL MAN What's your line this time, cerebral man Whenever you walk through my door I start to sweat, I'm falling in slow motion, and I'm losing control And the walls are too high to jump, the walls are too high to jump Chorus: I hear thunder, it's in my soul Can you hear the thunder roar, you better get back I hear thunder, who's in control Can you hear the thunder roar, better get back cerebral man The cutting edge, it hides behind those eyes of woe Your tears won't make a bed of roses, what we had I cannot love The walls are too high to jump, the walls are too high to jump chorus (Solo) And the walls are too high to jump, the walls are too high to jump chorus repeats 2x [1.: both parts '..., you better get back'] Cerebral man, cerebral man ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: LIFT 'EM ON UP Lately I been wastin' this hard, hard life Seems like nothin' ever turns out right The day's too short, the nights too long Meet you in the middle if it turns out wrong - hey! Johnny got a job but it ain't no good Nickels and dimes you know he never could Seem to make it clean, I'm tellin' you When the devil got your soul there ain't much you can do Chorus: Now he prays for a light in the dark to lift 'em on up An' he swears with his hand on his heart to lift 'em on up You can tear the night down and turn it inside out Johnny looks around but all he sees, is a tired old city livin' on its knees Blue jean faces fadin' fast, backs are breaking but the hard times last (And now he) chorus You can tear the night down - yesterdays, Johnny (Solo) Johnny and me used to have a dream, if ya ran real fast, it'd set you free So we kept on running, but our legs got tired And the dream just kinda faded when the spirit died - hey! An' now he prays for a light in the dark to lift 'em on up An' he swears with his hand on his heart to lift 'em on up You can tear the night down, you can tear the night down You can tear the night down and turn it inside out... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN Sweet Melissa, I often pray for you I hope your suffering was brief I hope the angels that watch over all little children Came for you an' took you someplace beautiful and sweet Suffer the little children Dear Melissa, I often think of you Every time I hold my baby in my arms I say a prayer for your mama and daddy too I know they miss you, miss you since you're gone Chorus: Suffer the little children at the hands of evil men No baby dolls, no teddy bears, no lullabies for them Every mother's nightmare, will it ever end Suffer the little children at the hands of evil men You who done the deed better do some prayin' too Better hope that God's forgivin' like they say 'Cause somewhere, somebody keeps a list of the evils that men do An' your names right up there, I heard 'em say chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: WIDE AWAKE IN DREAMLAND Movin' light, dream machinery, crashin' in through my balcony oh no I shout down the line but could not get through Cause the telephone never rings when you want it to Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland Words of love take your breath away Just a game that you like to play oh no Sleepwalking through a world of pain Just another pretty face in the romeo rain Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned Now you're wide awake in dreamland (Solo) Now you're wide awake in dreamland You know your paint by number life does not excite you It's a watercolour world that you're livin' in And when you close your eyes at night You're wondering just where you've been You were young when you heard the call Saw it all in your crystal ball and chains A problem child who could pick and choose When the sandman calls your name you cannot refuse Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland Oh, now you're wide awake in dreamland Chemical decisions never turn out like you planned Now you're wide awake in dreamland, in dreamland, in dreamland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
