Days Of Wonder
(Squire/Sherwood)

Oohh, oohh...

I can't wait for another day
Now that I've turned a new corner in life
Movin' through this change of season
It's the same old song, for a different reason

Looking back on the years gone by
Into the past for a moment in time
Moving in that rolling thunder
The memories that drag you under
Deeper into the days of wonder

Dreams dissolve without a sound
Love can turn the world around
Or leave us torn assunder
These are the days, the days of wonder

After all is said and done
That's all we need to know

Holding on to the reigns of emotion
Waiting to turn a new page in our lives
Driven by a sense of freedom
That are given to the laws of reason

Can we see this could go on forever
Now that we drink from the waters of life
Waking to the change of season
Turn the tide and start believing

Dreams dissolve without a sound
Love can turn the world around
Or leave us torn assunder
These are the days, the days of wonder

After all is said and done
That's all we need to know

Oohh, oohh...

Dreams dissolve without a sound
Love can turn the world around
Or leave us torn assunder
These are the days, the days of wonder

After all is said and done
That's all we need to know


I can't wait for another day
      Now we take the time to show
Movin' through this change of seasons
     Give the love we have...
Looking back on the years gone by
      Take the time to let love show
Moving in that rolling thunder
      Take the time to say hello.
Light In My Life
(Squire/Sherwood)

Setting out on the open road
Leaving your life behind
Where you're going you just don't know
But you know you're sure to find

It's true what they say
It's darkest before the dawn

Hey Hey You
You are the light in my life
The only one I need to get by
You are the only one who understands

When life seems like a lonely walk
Down a long and narrow hall
You carry on with no end in sight
Searchin' for a sign

But the feeling cannot be denied anymore

Hey Hey You
You are the light in my life
Now that you're standing here by my side
The only one who understands

Hey Hey You
You give me all of your love
You give me all I need to get by
The only one

Hey Hey You

     Understand me
     Do you understand me?

Hey Hey You
You are the light in my life
The only one I need to get by
You give me all of your love
Now that you're standing here by my side
You are the light in my life
The only one I need to get by
You are the only one
You are the only one

Hey Hey You
Hey Hey
Violet Purple Rose
(Squire/Sherwood/Stevens)

Amber sunrise
Calming blue sky
White cloud
Fade in to gray

Topaz twilight
Black dead of night
Silver star
Light the way

Scarlet sea flowing
Evergreen growing
Orange horizon
Violet Purple Rose

Emerald moonshine
Golden skyline
Cascading yellow sand

Crimson firelight
Brown wood burn bright
See through the turquoise haze

Indigo river rolling
Burgundy mountain grow
Orange horizon
Violet Purple Rose
....

Indigo river rolling
Burgundy mountain grow
Orange horizon
Violet Purple Rose
No Rhyme
(Squire/Sherwood)

You can make the best of moments in life
You can take the path that leads from darkness
Can you feel the power of the sunlight
Our future is full of hope and promise

When you've given up feeling lost in the maze
Wondering, wonder when you'll find your way home
If ever

     We can never stop the hands of time
     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     No need to fear the other side

You have always wondered what it feels like
You have always known the truth that's in sight
Can you feel the hour is approaching?
When you add it up, we are locked in the cage
All prisoners, lost until we're found

     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     Stop the hands of time
     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     No need to fear the other side

     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     Stop the hands of time
     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     No need to fear the other side

     No reason
     No rhyme

     No reason
     No rhyme

     On Earth as it is in Heaven
     No reason
     No rhyme
     On Earth
Lonesome Trail
(Squire/Sherwood)


Riding the wind 
We drift along
Moving across the desert land

Into the night 
Shadows dissolve
Nomads wandering through the 

Sands of space and time
The spirit of adventure
Raised within our hearts

The time is now 
The time has come
To journey farther from the sun

Let's not hold back
We've just begun
To understand out destiny

We can carry on forever
Driven by the spirit in our hearts

Leaving the world behind
We travel on through silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail

Never to return

One million miles of silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail

For distant lands
We set our course
To sail across the ocean

We've come so far
We can't turn back
It's a test of our devotion

As we race into the future
Expectations grow within our hearts

We rode the storm
We've braved the seas
This passes from our history

Into the skies
The great beyond
To reach escape velocity

We can carry on forever
Driven by the hope within our hearts

Leaving the world behind
We travel on through silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
Never to return

One million miles of silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail

We can carry on forever
Share the universe together

Is this the life that we chose for ourselves
Travel along the lonesome trail

     The lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail

Leaving the world behind
We travel on through silence
With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail

     The lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail

With only the stars to guide us
Along the lonesome trail
     The lonesome trail
The More We Live
(Squire/Sherwood)


You and I can change the world
     The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know
From this moment on we share the world
     The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow
The spirit of imagination can lead us through the dark
     The more we see, the more we try, the more we show
The evidence of our confusion, life has left its mark
     The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide

As we walk into tomorrow 
     Turning away from the path we know
Holding the future with our hands 
     We carry the weight of the world we go
It's up to you and I we hold the key, we hold the answers

All our thoughts of doubt and fear are leaving one by one
     The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know
For each of us the road is clear, life has just begun
     The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow
It's time to reach the goals we've set for ourselves
     The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide
All we need is just to believe in ourselves
     We face the truth, we see it clear, with no disguise

Cast away our doubt and sorrow 
     Turning away from the past we know
The universe at our command
     Conserving the fate of the world we grow
Together you and I we hold the key to all the answers

Let go
Let go
Let go
Love Conquers All
(Squire/Sherwood)

Love can seem such a mystery
Confusing though it may be
It's the one thing that we all need most

Love can make your world go round
Sometimes it can bring you down
Yet there's no way to avoid the fall

Love conquers all
Love conquers all
Love conquers all

Love will finally bring us all 
Together eventually
There's only one road for us all

Releasing our fear of the unknown
Believing in what could be
Now it's time for each of us to answer the call

Love conquers all
Love conquers all
     Love conquers all
Love conquers all
     Love conquers all
Love conquers all

Sometimes love can be so true
Sometimes it's running out on you
No matter how hard you try 
You can't avoid the fall
Only love conquers all

We can solve the mystery
Believe in what could be
Now its time for each of us
To answer the call

Love conquers all
Love conquers all
     Love conquers all
Love conquers all
     Love conquers all
Love conquers all

We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all

We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all

We can solve the mystery
Together eventually
Love conquers all
You're The Reason
(Squire/Sherwood)

You mean so much to me
I believe this love was meant to be
My heart belongs to only you
Let these words of love speak so true

I've got to find my way
I've got to find my way back to you
To let you know that I would give
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live

I'll be the one you can turn to 
When the world comes down on you

Pay no mind to what people have say (?)
Because this love will never fade away

I've got to find my way
I've got to find my way back to you
To let you know that I would give
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live

You're the reason

Only you can take me
To the place we were before
We've got to see this love through

You're the reason I live

I live for the moments we share together

You're the reason I live

Need to have you back where you belong

I've got to find some way

I've got to find my way back to you
To let you know that I would give
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live

Only you can take me
To the place we were before
We've got to see this love through

I've got to find my way back to you
To let you know that I would give
All I have to hold you
You're the reason I live
Watching The World
(Squire/Sherwood)

One day we all may see a new sunrise
One day we all may learn to comprimise
Standing on common ground
Building our relations for tomorrow

One day we all may feel the changing tide
One day the earth may no longer provide
Can we continue to live and deny
Innocent people who don't have the right
Leave it to decide (?) policy makers of tomorrow

How long can we hold  burmles(?) at bay
     Keep turning away
Pay no mind to the lives thrown away
     Keep fanning the flames
Are we chained to a dark world turning around

Are we enslaved by our own evolution
     Watching the world
Watching our world running down

Are we amazed by our own contributions
     Watching the world
Watching our world running down

One day we all may open up our eyes
One day we'll stop long enough to realize
One world is all that we have to divide
We're holding on to sacred ground
Building our defenses for tomorrow

One day peace will inspire every race
One day everything falls into place

Leave us to decide the policy shapers of tomorrow

Are we enslaved by our own evolution
     Watching the world
Watching our world running down

Are we amazed by our own contributions
     Watching the world
Watching our world running down

Yeah, yeah, yeah....

Are we amazed by our own evolution
     Watching the world
Watching our world running down
Red Light Ahead
(Squire/Sherwood)

You fought for your freedom
You understood the pain
Tell me was it worth it
Would you do it all again

You tried to save your honor
While fighting through the trials
And all along the madness
Still drives the people wild

Danger, there's a red light ahead
Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead

You thought we could make it
Now you know it isn't so
What we never realized 
Was how far we had to go

We tried to make our fortunes 
Work to ??? us for a while
It seems so very clever
But no one raised a smile

Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead
Look out there's a danger, there's a red light ahead

You walk through the city
No shelter from the rain
Wand'rin' through the sea of faces
The ranks of the insane

You thought you could fake it
Now you know that wasn't sound
Sensing something's just not right
You stop to look around

Danger, there's a red light ahead
Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead
Danger, there's a red light ahead
                           red light ahead

Look out 
Look out
Look out ...
Open Your Eyes
(Squire/Sherwood)

Ahhh....

We carry on in the same old way 
No lesson learned from yesterday
Talk of changes lost in pages of paper work

How can we refuse to see
What could be our final destiny
Still we go on from day to day knowing what could be true
Wish I knew, oh
Wish I knew

We've cast the world, we've set the stage 
For what could be the darkest age
Short exchanges from perfect strangers we'll never know
Wish we knew

It's time to face reality
Questioning the powers that be
Are we too confused to see
Wish I knew
Wish I knew, oh
Wish I knew

Turn, turn to love (?)
Love for another

Turn, turn to love
Love one another

Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come
Open your eyes

Wish I knew
It's time to face reality
Things aren't what they used to be
What I see in you you see in me

Wish I knew
Wish I knew
Wish I knew, oh
Wish I knew

Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one
In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come
Open your eyes
Open your mind
Man In The Moon
(Squire/Sherwood)

I am the man in the moon
And I hope to shine upon you very soon
Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight
I am the man
I am the man in the moon.

Silently revolving wandering through the heavens above 
On my own
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

I am a creature of the night 
And I hope to come and shed a little light
Although the universe our teacher I remain the central feature
I am the man
I am the man in the moon.

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know

Silently revolving wandering through the heavens above 
On my own

I am the man in the moon (round and round)
And I hope to shine upon you very soon (round and round I go)
Waiting in the night to bathe you all in moonlight
I am the man
I am the man in the moon.

Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know (I am the man)
Round and round and round I go (Man in the moon)
When I stop no one will know  
Round and round and round I go
When I stop no one will know
Say Goodbye
(Squire/Sherwood)

Have I wasted a lifetime waiting for the sun
Thinking I was the only one
I watched as all my dreams came crashing down
I believe it's time for me to say

Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

Seems like now more than ever
We need to find some way
To guide our endangered world
To brighter days

The future of the earth depends on you and I
To live or die we must decide (Say goodbye)
You'll never see the tears I cry
Inside ??? now I say goodbye     Oh

Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Oh
Say goodbye

To think that we can last forever going on this way
Burning down the very key to our survival
To see the forest falling like a rain
To believe again in our revival

The less we fail the more we try
Abandon fear, say goodbye

Where will we be tomorrow
So many roads to follow
From the mountains to the sea
Hear the voice of reason calling for you

Save the children save the old
Stop the world from growing colder
We're reaching out for you (?) now say goodbye 

Like a teardrop in the ocean 
We dissolve in our emotion
Release the pain within our heart
Say goodbye 

Watching as all our dreams materialize 
Before our eyes
Now we don't have to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Now we don't have to say goodbye
Say goodbye

Say goodbye to all the anger
All the vengeance that we hold inside
Say goodbye
Lift all the lies and confusion ???
Say goodbye
