LYRICS :
Hang in long enough
The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
The writings on the wall, for you to see
You never thought youd ever get the taste
You never thought that it could be this good
Just tell me what you want and Ill find the key
Reach out and touch its all yours.
If you hang in long enough, youll do it
Just hang in long enough
Youre down on the ground, or so you say
Youd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
Dont ask me how I know, you dont wanna hear
Its been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.
You never thought youd ever get the chance
You never thought your break would come along
If you tell me what you want, Ill find the key
Just reach out and touch its all yours
If you hang in…
They always say
The best things in life are free
But you want to have everything
Well youre going to have to beg if you want it all.
So hang in long enough, youll do it
Hang in long enough
Theyll let you out, then pull you in
Playing hell with your emotions,
Youll feel like giving in.
So just hang in long enough…
That’s just the way it is
All day long he was fighting for you
And he didn’t even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
And I don’t know why
Why do we keep holding on
I don’t know why
Pretending to be oh so strong
Oh why
Is there something I don’t know
Or something very wrong, with you and me
or maybe
That’s the way it is, there’s nothing I can do,
That’s just the way it is.
They’ve been waiting for word to come down
They’ve been waiting for you night and day
They won’t wait any longer for you
It may already be too late
And I don’t know why…
You see the dying, you feel the pain
What have you got to say
If we agree that we can disagree
We could stop all of this today
It’s been your life for as long as you can remember
But you cannot fight no more
You must want to look your son in the eyes
When he asks you what you did it for
‘Cos all day long he was fighting for you
And he didn’t even know your name
Young men come and young men go
But life goes on just the same
I don’t know why…
Do you remember ?
We never talked about it
But I hear the blame was mine
Id call you up to say Im sorry
But I wouldnt want to waste your time
cos I love you, but I cant take any more
Theres a look I cant describe in your eyes
Yes we could try, like we tried before
When you kept on telling me those lies
Do you remember…?
There seemed no way to make up
cos it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me
Its a look I know Ill never forget
You couldve come over to my side
You couldve let me know
You couldve tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed too far for you to go.
Do you remember…?
Through all of my life
In spite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes
cos they just cant wait
To get hurt again
Do you remember…?
There are things we wont recall
Feelings well never find
Its taken so long to see it
Cos we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But I love you wasnt one of those things
And now its too late
Do you remember…?
Something happened on the way to heaven
We had a life, we had a love,
But you dont know what youve got til you lose it
Well that was then and this is now
And I want you back
How many times do I have to say Im sorry
How can something so good go so bad
How can something so right go so wrong
I dont know, I dont have all the answers
But I want you back
How many times can I say Im sorry
You can run, and you can hide
But Im not leaving less you come with me
Weve had our problems but Im on your side
Youre all I need, please believe in me
I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldnt let go
And I want you back
How many times do I have to say Im sorry
You can run…
They say you cant take it with you
When you go
And I believe it
But taking what Ive got or being
Here with you, you know
Id rather leave it
You can run…
Colours
Deep inside the border
Children are crying
Fighting for food
Holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone
All along the roadside
People are standing
Watching the sun
Shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face
Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name
All around the township
Young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst
The well has run dry
The tears from her eye feeds her son
Tell me…
You can say youre pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere
But what we dont see is whats
Going on behind the closed doors
And you dont seem to care
Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head
And make him drink
No matter what you say, it never gets any better
No matter what you do, we never see any change
People living without rights
Without their dignity
How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free
You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles
And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?
No matter what you say…
What makes you so high and mighty
What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom
But how many more have died
You decide to sit in judgement
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and noone else
I wish it would rain down
You know I never meant to see you again
And I only passed by as a friend
All this time I stayed out of sight
I started wondering why
Now i, I wish it would rain down, down on me
Yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
You said you didnt need me in your life
I guess you were right
Well I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again
Now i, I wish ….
Though your hurt is gone, mines hanging on, inside
And I know its eating me through every night and day
Im just waiting on your sign
cos I know, I know I never meant to cause you no pain
And I realize I let you down
But I know in my heart of heart of hearts
I know Im never gonna hold you again
Another day in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
sir, can you help me?
Its cold and Ive nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?
He walks on, doesnt look back
He pretends he cant hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Oh think twice, its another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
Shes got blisters on the soles of her feet
Cant walk but shes trying
Oh think twice…
Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that shes been there
Probably been moved on from every place
cos she didnt fit in there
Heat on the street
Youve gotta shout if youve got something to say
I know its getting bad, you read it every day
And you, you can try your best ot fight it
But you cant make it on your own
Someone better tell the people up there
I think they ought to know, the bubbles just about to bust
Tell them theyd better beware
The word is on the street, get up on your feet, and shout out
The kids out there dont know how to react
The streets are getting tough and thats a matter of fact
And i, I cant take it any longer
But we cant make it on our own
The people there find it hard to relate
They dont know how it feels to be standing there on your own
Believe me, its never too late
Its time to make a move, get up on your feet and shout
Stop, look down, everybody, do you see whats going on
Around you, stop…
Shout out, shout it out, shout loud
Shout out, shout it out, shout loud
There are pepple who give and there are people who take
But I believe its gonna get better
Realise what a difference you make
And dont turn away, hey! Im talking to you!
So theres only the one solution
Stop and think whats going on
You can draw your own conclusions
But we wont make it on our own
Someone better tell the people up there
I think they ought to know
The bubbles just about to burst
Tell them theyd better beware
The word is on the street
Get up on your feet and shout
Stop, look down, everybody
Do you see whats going on
All of my life
All of my life, Ive been searching
For the words to say how I feel.
Id spend my time thinking too much
And leave too little to say what I mean
Ive tried to understand the best I can
All of my life.
All of my life, Ive been saying sorry
For the things I know I should have done
All the things I could have said come back to me
Sometimes I wish that it had just begun
Seems Im always that little too late
All of my life
Set em up, Ill take a drink with you
Pull up a chair, I think Ill stay
Set em up, cos Im going nowhere
Theres too much I need to remember, too much I need to say
All of my life, Ive been looking
But its hard to find the way
Reaching past the goal in front of me
While whats important just slips away
It doesnt come back but Ill be looking
All of my life
Set em up…
All of my life, there have been regrets
That I didnt do all I could
Making records upstairs, while he watched tv
I didnt spend the time I should
Its a memory I will live with
All of my life.
Father to son
Somewhere down the road, youre gonna find a place
It seems so far, but it never is
You wont need to stay, but you might lose your strength
On the way
Sometimes you may feel youre the only one
Cos all the things you thought were safe, now theyre gone
But you wont be alone, Ill be here to carry you along
Watching you til all your work is done
When you find your heart, youd better run with it
Cos when she comes along, she could be breaking it
No theres nothing wrong, youre learning to be strong
Dont look back
She may soon be gone, no dont look back
Shes not the only one, remember that
If your heart is beating fast, then you know shes right
If you dont know what to say, well, thats all right
You dont know what to do?
Remember she is just as scared as you
Dont be shy, even when it hurts to say
Remember, youre gonna get hurt someday, anyway
Then you must lift your head, keep it there
Remember what I said
Ill always be with you dont forget
Just look over your shoulder Ill be there.
Find a way to my heart
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
From wherever you are, I’ll be waiting
I’ll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
This journey’s not easyfor you, I know
If your footsteps get too faint to hear, I’ll go
Cos you know, questions are never that easy
And never the same
You have the answer believe me
If you have the faith
Find a way to my heart…
Time may come, and time may go, I know
If you should call out for me, I’ll go
But you know, there is a code to be broken
I wrap it around
Without a word being spoken
Without a sound
There’s a reason I hide my heart
Out of sight out of mind
And when I find out just who you are
The door will be open for you to..
Find a way to my heart…
