Life, moving on and on forever,
G C D
Life, breaking steel and stone however
B Em
Strong, life has no defense
C D G C D7
Against indifference - your indifference.
G C
Who made this world he blessed life to grow
G C D
And stand in a hot fire and cold snow,
B Em
But, he gave it no chance
C D7 G
To stand indifference, our indifference.
D B Em
Oh no, he gave it no chance
C D7 G
To stand indifference, our indifference.
G C D7 G Em
And only love - his ever lasting love,
C D7 G Em
From far away, through ashes and through cold,
C B Em C
It will reach out to us - and it will save the world.
G D G
His gracious love - will save the world one day.
(Chorus)
Yes it is love, His ever lasting love.
C D7 G G7
From far away, through ashes and through cold,
C B Em C
It will reach out to us - and it will save the world.
G D Em C
His gracious love will save the world one day.
G D G
His gracious love will save the world one day.
I see the Earth in flames and ashes,
I feel how it all quakes and crushes,
Breaks under the offense
Of indifference -
Our indifference.
G Em
And if - if I never find you,
C D D7
If I go astray, will you forgive?
G Em
The light that you left behind you,
C D7
Will show me the way, will make me believe
That only love, your ever lasting love,
From far away, through ashes and through cold,
It will reach out to us and it will save the world.
Your gracious love can save the world today.
C E
Rain. And there is no place to run.
Am A7
Rain. It reaches to everyone.
Dm G C Am
Rain. All the colors have died,
Dm G
And nowhere to hide, to hide from -
Rain. Once I had a dream to fly.
Rain. I know that you never lie.
Rain. I like to be in your prison.
Rain. But I do not know the reason -
Why sometimes it is cool and blind -
Rain. It's bringing you to my mind,
But - there is nothing to gain,
And nothing to lose, and only -
Rain. The world is one grayish hue.
Rain. There's nothing what we can do.
Rain. And no one to stop it falling.
Rain. But I am still calling, calling -
You.
Rain. One day you will end the siege.
Rain. One day I shall build a bridge,
Bridge - to the sky of blue,
Bridge from me to you.
C7
I suddenly became imaginative,
And I am very easily upset,
F7
It's hard for me to speak my language native,
F7
And I went to my doctor and he said -
G7 C7
I'm sorry, you've got the feeling of love.
I've always been a very heavy sleeper,
I always had the best of appetite,
My knowledge of the world was growing deeper,
And everything about me was right,
But now it's over -
I've got the feeling of love.
E7
With every day I lose another pound,
A7
With every day I'm looking more like dead,
E7
And nobody's of any help around,
A7
And I went to my baby and I said -
B7 E7
Oh baby, help me - I've got the feeling of love.
And baby was about to believe me,
I saw her turning pale then turning red,
But suddenly she turned away to leave me,
But suddenly she made me so upset, she said -
I'm sorry,
I've got no feeling for you.

Am Dm E
Power, I know no other word so strong,
Am Dm E
Power, and everything is moving on,
Am A7
And no one really can avoid
Dm E
To be forgiven or destroyed by
Power - the only thing that rules the world,
Power - who dares to have it and to hold,
Who calls and armies go to fight,
And day is turning into night.
Am Dm E
But I - I will not comply,
Am F E
Oh no - I will not comply!
Am A7
I'll stand up and fight,
A7 Dm
I'll win or I'll die -
F E
But I will not comply!
Oh no - I will not comply!
Not me - I will not comply!
I'll stand up and fight,
I'll win or I'll die -
But I will not comply!
I will not comply!
Am Dm E
Power - it's only fear it is made of,
Am F E
Power - was meant for you to be afraid of.
The world of power knows no tears,
And when you cry then no-one hears.
But power - it disappears like a ghost,
Power - they never know when it is lost,
Because they know it can brake,
Because they know it is fake.
And I - I will not comply!
Oh no - I will not comply!
I'll stand up and fight,
I'll win or I'll die -
But I will not comply!
No, I will not comply!
(modulation)
And we - we will not comply!
Oh no - we will not comply!
We'll stand up and fight,
We'll win or we'll die -
But we will not comply!
We will not comply!
Yes we - we will not comply!
Hell no - we will not comply!
We'll stand up and fight,
We'll win or we'll die -
But we will not comply!
We will not comply!
We will not comply!
C D
When I abandon faith, I ask God for the truth,
G G7 C F G
When I lose hope, I ask for love,
C D G
When I see many roads, but only one to choose,
E Am
No answer coming from above -
F G7 C
I'm lost in the ocean of reality,
F G7 Am
There is no way to cross it straight,
F G7 E Am
There is no way to know how far there is to go,
F G C
How long it'll take to wait.
When I saw islands green that disappeared in haze,
And stormy clouds taking shape,
And when I missed your smile in those rainy days,
Then I was trying to escape -
Escape from the ocean of reality
There is no way to cross it straight,
There is no way to know how far there is to go,
How long it'll take to wait.
But if you hide yourself you never stand to gain,
However hard you may pretend,
And I was trying to deceive myself in vain,
Until I came to understand -
I live in the ocean of reality,
There is no way to cross it straight,
There is no way to know how far there is to go,
How long it'll take to wait.
C6 Dm6
All the thoughts, that have gone through my mind,
C6 Dm6
All the words that have passed through my lips,
F6 Dm
All the things, that I could not control,
F
You've been a part of them all,
C
You've been a part of them all.
You have gone, you have closed the door,
You have left all what happened before,
You have gone, you have left me behind,
But you are in my mind,
But you are in my mind.
C6
You've been a part
Dm6
Of all my joy and sorrow
C6
I believed
Dm6
That you would stay tomorrow
F Dm
I believed in your dream, in your smile -
F
That it'll linger a while,
C
That it'll linger a while.
E E7
But I know and you know
Am F
We can not part -
C Fm
'Cause we were meant to be together
G
From the start.
Let's brake the wall
And I will call,
And I'll be on my way.
And we'll start together another day.
Please don't feel sorry,
No need to worry,
No need to fear or doubt,
'Cause when we are together
We can work it out.
I don't know what life will bring tomorrow,
Other dreams or only pain and sorrow,
But I know that we can't move apart,
That we need a new start,
That we need a new start.
And I know and you know
...
Am Am G F
When Moon is young and night is slowly falling,
Am G F E
And brand new game is just about to begin,
Am F C G
The stakes are rising and the dice is rolling,
F Dm E
And everybody wants to win.
And there you find yourself - alone among the crowd
Where no one cares about what you got to say.
And you just have to win and hope it'll make you proud.
There is no other way - you have to play.
Dm G
But once there was a place
C
With love and grace
Am
That you called home
Dm G
And today it seems
C Bm Am
That it was only in your dreams.
Dreams you left behind
Now they are hard to find
And you're chasing them across the space
In an endless race.
And if you lose, the game is never ending,
And you'll just have to face another lonely day.
So while the game is on you'd better start pretending,
That you're ready to go, go all the way.
Am F C G
And you're playing this game with fire,
Am F C E
Holding balance on the edge of a knife,
Am F G E E7
But time is running out and stakes rising higher
F E
In this final game, in the game of life.
But there must be a place
Of love and grace,
That is your home,
With laughter and light
And no one to fight.
Dm G
And there's got to be a way
C Bm Am
That will take you there one day
Dm G
And that's when you'll begin
C
To win.
C
We're never fighting with temptation
F
No matter what the situation,
G F
We're going out to other nation,
C
Looking for love.
We're even losing sense of danger,
We're always friendly to a stranger,
And in the harmony with nature
We're looking for love.
F G
Looking for love,
C Am
Looking for love.
F
And when the way is long
G
That's where we belong
C C7
Looking for love.
Looking for love,
Looking for love.
Here and everywhere
We'll be always there
Looking for love.
And does not matter what's the reason,
Whether in heaven or in prison,
In any time and any season
We're looking for love.
When sky is bright or when it's hazy,
We're never tired, never lazy,
We're always marching on like crazy,
Looking for love.
Looking for love,
Looking for love.
In sickness and in health,
In poverty or wealth
We're looking for love.
Looking for love,
Looking for love.
For better or for worse,
A blessing or a curse,
We're looking for love.
Join our sisters and our brothers,
It does not matter if it bothers,
Come join the millions of the others
Looking for love.
Looking for love,
Looking for love.
No matter what it takes
And how much my heart breaks
I'm looking for love.
Looking for love,
Looking for love.
We can only hope,
To take it to the top
Looking for love.
Looking for love,
Looking for love.
Here and everywhere,
We'll be always there
Looking for love.
C Em F
Gee, I like your style, your fancy dress,
G G9 C
Your very fascinating smile,
Em F
Your change of mood, please tell me why,
G G9 C
please, tell me why you look so good,
Em F
And why today, of all the days
G G9 C
You do not seem to notice me,
Am Dm
You do not care how I may feel,
G C
And all you want is to be free.
Dm G F
And I'm trying to chase you in-vain
Dm G# G
And I know I did nothing wrong
C Dm E Am
And despite all my struggle, despite all the pain
F Fm
You are turning me on and I just can't go on
C G Am F
But one thing you need to know -
C G F
I just cannot let you go
C G Am F
Cannot do it now and could not do it then
C G F Fm
Never, never, never, never, never again
Now, I only fear that deep inside
You are again accusing me,
You do not hear that love is true
And I am losing, losing you.
And I know I was doomed from the start
All I've built now it's falling apart
All I planted had no chance to grow
But I can't let you go - no I can't let you go
That's one thing you need to know -
I can never let you go
Cannot do it now and could not do it then
Never, never, never, never, never again
Am Dm
With all these people in distress
G C E
And all bad news that make you worry
Am Dm
How really bad will be the end of story
G C E
And how we got into this mess?
And I don't know where to start
To rectify the situation
That place which used to be my nation
G C E
It's now falling all apart
And where did we go wrong
How did our lives all turn to rubble
And who will help us out of all this trouble
G F E
That's going on and on
C G Am
But I say - let there be light
F G
That will signal new beginning
G7 C E Am
And will give our lives new meaning
F G C
So I say - let there be light!
Yes I say - let there be light
That will bring us all together
And then we'll end this fight,
So I say - let there be light!
Our dreams are turning into dust,
We never used to judge the others
We used to call each-other brothers
How come it didn't last?
How come we managed to forget
That there was time of understanding?
And now it's war without ending
Which we will certainly regret.
The beast is out of the gate
We cannot stop this evel action
We're on the path to self-destruction
And it already seems too late.
But I say - let there be light
That will signal new beginning
And will give our lives new meaning
So I say - let there be light!
Yes I say let there be light
That will bring us all together
And we will end this fight,
So I say - let there be light!
And we say - ...

Dm G
When the day is dawning
C Am
Early in the morning,
Dm
And the Sun is coming out
F G C
To start another day.
Dm G
When wind is blowing breezy
Am
Then it seems so easy
F C G Am F
To just take off and fly away,
F Fm C
To just take off and fly away.
But standing on the ground,
I see flames around
I hear the siren sound
Coming my way.
This war I didn't start
E Am
And it brakes my heart
F C G Am
And all that I can do is pray,
F Fm G
All that I can do is pray.
----------------------------
G7 C G Am
And I pray - that there be light
Dm F G G7
That'll chase away the night
G7 C E Am
Ane then we'll end this fight

So, I pray let there be light.
Yes, I pray - let there be light!
That'll chase away the night
And then we'll end this fight
G7 F G Am
So, I say - let there be light,
F G C
Let there be light.

C Dm G
And when the night is gone
G C Am
And there's no worry
Dm
And stormy clouds
F G G7
Vanish out of sight,
C Dm
When the war is won
E Am F
It's not the end of story,
C G Am F
It's only when we see the light,
Fm C Am
It's only when we see the light
Fm G
When we see the light
-----------------------------
G7 C G Am
So let's pray that there be light
Dm F G G7
That'll chase away the night.
G7 C E Am
And then we will end this fight
F G Am
So, let's pray that there be light!
G7 C G Am
Yes we say - let there be light
Dm F G G7
That'll chase away the night
G7 C E Am
And then we'll end this fight
F G C
So, we say let there be light.
G7 C G Am
So we say - let there be light
Dm F G G7
That'll chase away the night.

And then we will end this fight
F G Am
Let's all pray that there be light!
F G C
Let there be light!
C Am Through the night the stars will guide us mile after mile, F G C They never spoil the view, C Am Never casting shadows, never giving a smile - F G C They are so much like you. When the sea is calm or when it's roaring with a storm, You never take off your mask, In the cold and windy night you can't make me warm, You only make me ask - F G What's behind your face, C Am That you try to hide - F D Just an empty space Am Or a flame inside? F G Whether high or low, C Am Just give me a sign F Fm I just need to know - C Am Will you ever be mine. F Fm C But I know the season when the stars big and small Are falling down here. And I see no reason why in this dazzling fall May you not come, my dear. And I'll take your hand and I will tell by your eyes, For what my heart would ache, What was lying, what was sleeping under disguise - A star or just a fake, And what's behind your face That you try to hide - Just an empty space Or a flame inside. Been through high an low, One day I will know - Will my love wear out Or will it grow.
A7 D7 A7 E7 D7 A7 E7
A7
I've been trying and trying every day,
D7
I've been doing everything they say,
A7
Whether rain or pain,
E7
I did never complain,
D7 E7
And I've been always there to stay.
A7
Through the sudd and the mud I would toil,
D7
But inside of my mind I would boil,
A7
Is this what I should strive,
E7
For the rest of my life,
D7 E7
Keep on digging myself in that soil.
A D E
But now I can take it no more,
A D E
And I'm ready to walk out the door,
D E
It's been pretty tough,
A F#m
And I've had enough,
D E A
And I can take it no more.
A D E
Oh no, I can take it no more
A D E E7
And I'll walk right out the door,
D E
And I know they are waiting,
C# F#m
And it can be frustrating,
D E F#m
But I can take it no more.
D E A
Oh no, I can take it no more.
A7
Every day when I wake up at dawn,
D7
I don't feel it's the place I belong,
A7
I can work for hire
E7
But my deep desire
D7 E7
Is to ditch this job and be gone.
A7
It was never my intention to quit,
D7 A7
But today I can tell you - that's it.
A7
So far I've made no sound,
E7
And been pushed around,
D7 E7
But I can take no more heat.
But now, I can take it no more
And I'm ready to walk out the door.
It may be unexpected
And someone gets affected,
But I can take it no more.
Oh no, I can take it no more
And now I'll walk out the door.
I've done my part
And I've played my card,
And I can take it no more.
Oh no, I can take it no more
I can take it no more
And I'm walking right out the door.
May this be unexpected,
May someone be affected,
But I can take it no more,
No, I can take it no more.
C F
Once upon Christmas white sheets of snow
C G
Covered what's left of my pain,
C F
Covered the roads we used to go
Dm G
Dreams that we nourished in-vain.
C F
On a white canvas made out of snow,
C G
Lying so empty and cold,
C F
A different picture I want to draw,
Dm G
The picture of a brand new world.
World full of joy and understanding,
World where nothing goes wrong,
Friendship and peace, love never ending -
All in one beautiful song.
But chains of the past tie me to the ground,
Heavy thoughts lurking behind.
Cold winter night is all around,
Taking over my mind.
Dm G C Am
But when the night will fade away
Dm G C C7
And time will come for starting something new
F E Am F
Then I will try to find my way
C G Am F
If only I can forget about you.
C G C
I wonder if I can forget about you.
F G C Am
And when the time is right for me to go,
F G C C7
And rain will wash away the world I knew,
F E Am F
Then I will leave behind the world I know
C G Am F
But will my story end without you?
C G C
How can my story end without you?
Maybe this world is an illusion
That's something we may never know,
And if there was a simple conclusion
It's hidden under the snow.
But I can see the light is returning,
Braking up this winter dance.
If we just wait until the morning
We may be given a chance.
Dm G C Am
And when the night will fade away
Dm G C C7
There's no regret, no longing for the past.
F E Am F
And then one day I'll find my way
C G Am F
And I will not forget to make it last.
C G C
Then I'll make sure that it will last.
F G C Am
One day I know there'll be light
Dm G C C7
And Spring will come again and bring us something new
F E Am F
And on that day I'll do what's right -
C G Am F
Then I'll do all I can to find my way to you.
C G C
Yes, I'll do all I can to find my way to you.
F G C Am
One day I know we'll see the light
F G C C7
And Spring will come again and bring us something new
F E Am F
And then I'll brake the chains and do what's right -
C G Am F
I will do all I can to find my way to you.
C G C
Yes, I'll do everything to find my way to you.

Siren's call -

Slowly grinding through my brain.

On this exhausting ride
Em
Hell was a bit too close.
D C
And then I died,
Am B
And then I rose.
When shots were fired
Then I ran
Scared and tired
I joined the caravan
My veining power
Was dragging me along
D C
And hour by the hour
Am B
I hear them sing a song

People say

Don't long for yesterday

And live your life

Like there's no tomorrow. So,

Don't get bored

Just come on jump on board,

Enjoy the ride.

Roads go

Where weeping willows grow,

And where you'll soon forget

All pain and sorrow.

The whole new world to take

If only you can make it

To the other side.

The whole new world to take
Cm
If you can make it

To the other side.
All my past
Is flashing though my eyes,
It was all turned to dust
For the dreams of paradise.
A tiny glimpse of light
Still keeps me on the track
But there's no end in sight,
And there's no turning back.
Heavy doubts
Creeping though my head.
Siren sounds
Luring me ahead
Where Sun is low
And where I don't belong
But as we go
I hear their song:
Take 3:
MP3
Music track written in rational scale (MP3, MIDI) using the method of dynamic transposition.
C G Endless skies as far as eyes can see, Am Em Tide of time bringing some hope for me, F G C Never ending winds of changes, F G C Taking me from sea to sea. F G C And when the world is filled with pain and sorrow, F G Am When clouds are coming back to stay, F E Am When all that's left is just one step before tomorrow, F G C I pray for yet another day. Endless skies as far as eyes can see, Tide of time bringing some hope for me, Never ending winds of changes, Taking me from sea to sea. Dreams of love suddenly turned to dust, Times of joy that never meant to last, I can see my destination Slowly fading in the past. And when the world is filled with pain and sorrow, When clouds are coming back to stay, When all that's left is just one step before tomorrow, I pray for yet another day. Heaven's door used to be open wide, Now the Moon is my eternal guide, Gently peeking through my window, Waiting on the other side. Aiming high but sometimes falling low, Trying hard, hoping my seeds will grow, Wishing for a happy ending, But I never really know. And when the night is falling cold and silent Covered by the sky of gray, I'm out in the sea, sailing to a lonely island Made up of dreams from yesterday. And there's no end and no beginning - It's only one long way To find your peace, to give another meaning To yet another passing day.

C D7 G
There was a time of love.
If life was nothing but a mess Unleashed with every passing day Between misfortune and success How could I find my only way? How could I see the only light Upon the hills of passing youth And in the darkness of the night How could I find the only truth? I drifted slowly in the sea Pushed by the winds of someone's fame, And it was then she noticed me And whispered tenderly my name. Where agitation reigned supreme She cast on me her magic veil, And took me out of my dream, And brought me back to fairy-tale. I'm captured in her wonderland, I'm dazzled by the flame she's lit, It's at her feet where we all stand, It's on her shoulders where we sit.
I beg your pardon if the Summer time is really short, I beg your pardon if the Autumn is so near, I beg your pardon if this town is such a rainy spot, I only ask you to be close, to be here. The tiny strings of birds are passing on the cloudy sky, July has gone away and sunny days are few, There is no way to get it back, there is no help to cry, We have to live it through together - me and you. Here the November night knocking at the window pane, I feel the world behind it gloomy and unreal, I hear the music of your voice, the music of the rain, And it is all I need to know, I need to feel.
When I'm tired of all this noise, If I ever feel run down, I am free to make my choice, I am free to leave this town. And I'll sail out in a boat, On a farm I'll be a farmer, All my friends - the happy lot - That's the Summer, that's the Summer. Better times are going fast, But nobody really cares, While we're living in the past The present takes us unawares. And I'm sinking in the rain, Going down to the bottom, Heavy burden on my brain - That's the Autumn, that's the Autumn. Snow is falling on my head, And I hide myself in feather, And I hide away in bed - Dreary weather, dreary weather! The Queen of Snow is very smart, And she flings her icy splinter To my eyes and to my heart - That's the Winter, that's the Winter. All year long they run away From their worries and from dangers, I don't run, I only pray For some changes, for some changes. And one day new winds will blow, They will ask, what it might bring, I won't ask, because I know - It is Spring, yes, it is Spring.
Little Vanya was a fool - Drowned in the swimming-pool, He was simply unaware That there was no water there. In the rain I like to sleigh on a greasy piece of clay, In the snow I never try, 'Cause the clay is getting dry. All my house is in smoke When my neighbor's frying pork, All his house is in quake, When my friends are dancing "Break". Once I had a pretty girl, I gave her my heart and soul, But she was a real witch - Sold it all to someone rich. I met my baby in a barn, And we had a lot of fun, But next day I was upset - It's been my brother whom I met. When I married I was glad, Having breakfast in my bed, In a year my wife's gone mad - Now I have it on my head. When I was a little girl, I was dreaming of a doll, Now I'm satisfied in full 'Cause I've married such a fool. I don't reason with my wife 'Bout the reason of our life, She just nails me to the wall With no reason - that is all. When my darling goes to market I do never really like it - He is always back at dawn Scattered all over the lawn. When my wife is on her diet, She goes fishing every night, As for me, I'd never wish To give up vodka for some fish. Every Saturday I work From midnight till one o'clock - For my wife I do my best, Then I have a six-days rest.
You, laymen, listen to me now, You, musing on your softened coach, The hurricane is on the bow - Now's time for you to wake and watch. Now's time to ruin an illusion About all your funny arts, Now's time to make a revolution - The revolution in your hearts. Let skeptic voices all be drowned In dinning of the iron bells, I've come to get you off the ground, To get you out of your shells. Now is no time to be a coward Proliferating pity theft, Line up for a march, and forward, forward, Left, left, left! Now I can see new world amazing Is coming out of the dust, And it is growing, it's rising Above the relics of the past.
When many stars fill the sky to the brim In numbers I can not conceive, It is the right time to make real your dream, It is the time to believe. If I could get me a pair of wings I wouldn't care 'bout the price, Then I could see many wonderful things, Hovering up in the skies. But day is coming to hold me in leash As if I knew it all through, If you are eager to know my wish - It's something that never comes true. May be there is not much new I can see In every color and line - Only one star that is shining at me, Only one night that is mine.
For every stupid creature There must be a good teacher Who'll make all your learning Much pleasure and fun - It is lesson number one. I'm not the one who's willing To educate by drilling, You have to believe And your dreams will come true - It is lesson number two. It always makes me wonder Why the world is full of blunder, It's only through knowledge That men can be free - And it is lesson number three. Some people after college Feel burden of their knowledge, It's not always worth All the money you earn, But it's the last thing you should learn.
Nothing in life comes easy, Life is a big surprise - Rain coming after sunshine, Fall coming after rise, No one can stop the weather Going from bad to worse, But if we try together, Then we shall break this curse. Our life is seldom sunny, It is so often dark It is so stubborn to give us Its little bit of luck, But life will give it Someone who tries, I do believe it, Looking into your eyes. And life can make you clever, And life can make you wise, But never happy, never, With mind as cold as ice, But there's no need to worry - It's something we can do - We can be happy, Just me and you.
In my dreams I see the world Which is somewhat strange - Simple problems are hard to solve, Things are hard to change. Where I don't know what's wrong and right, And which road to choose, And every time I start to fight, Every time I lose. You're moving on and you don't know That there is not a long way to go, That waiting just behind the door Are changes you are fighting for. If you know all the rules You will never fail, Even in the world of fools Reason will prevail, And you'll get the answer straight That you want to hear, But the miracle will fade, It will disappear. The day has come and you have won, And now the mystery is gone As a part of life that was before The changes you were fighting for.
I traveled on see and land, I suffered from heat and frost, Crossing from end to end, Going from coast to coast. Counting miles and days I never failed to see That the hardest of all the ways Was that one from you to me. Come along, my friend, come along - It's not hard, believe, it's not hard. Hold my hand - you won't be alone - Here's my song and here's my heart. Let everything move and change, Let several years go by, But you're still out of my range, and I still don't know why. We live in a world of strain, I feel it in every string - Don't break down, my friend, refrain - Just give me your hand and sing.
Hey, stop old man, look around, You don't know what you've found, You don't see where you are, my friend - Seems like the ruins of Rome, Seems like nobody's home, Like nobody's land. I do remember the day When the birds flew away To the country of coming spring, Then we decided to stay, It was gloomy and gray, But we used to sing Oh, it's gonna be a sunny day, Oh, it's gonna be another sunny day. Several years we would wait, But the Summer was late With no hope for a sunny day, And we could no longer remain, We have broken the chain, And we've run away. Ages and ages have gone Since the time we were young, Since we are on the run, oh man, But we still travel and sail, We still try and we fail, And we try again.
Sometimes I'm tired of words and can not hear a sound, Then in my dreams I see another world Where only children live and play around And I am one of them and shall be never old. There every day and night the sun is out, For everyone there is a lot of room, There no one knows of pain or fear or doubt, And all year long the roses are in bloom. The house where we live stands near the ocean, But no one knows what lies at the other end, And we have built a ship, and without any caution We set off on a journey to wonder land. At first we all would dance and sing and shout, At first how calm the sea, how clear the sky, But when the darkness came with a stormy cloud, Then for the first time we began to cry. We struggled with our fears but could not cope, And squeezed between the reefs we could not see How little chance was left for luck and hope, For any shelter in the roaring sea. The lucky ones survived, but some were drowned, And only few of us have reached the land, The land with only stones and cliffs around, With a little wreckage on the yellow sand.
There can be times when night is all around And I can't see the road up ahead. At times like these I can not hold my ground And can't escape from thoughts I came to dread. And I would toil and run where roads would take me, And I would lose my home completely out of sight, And only distant hope would stay and not forsake me - That sun will rise again, that I will see the light. The only hope that never would forsake me That sun will rise again, that I will see the light. And I would find my sole in an empty prison Where one can't hear a sound or a word. The world without purpose, without reason Keeps me encaged and lonely like a bird. And I would try to smash the walls and cages, And break away and wonder through the night, And call for help though spaces and though ages That sun will rise again, that there'll be light. And call for help though spaces and though ages That sun will rise again, that there'll be light. And nobody could bring me to submission - My destiny was mine to overcome. Whoever gave the purpose to my mission He also give a glimpse of things to come. And I'll start it all over again, rejecting doubts For as long as it will take to make it right, For as long as hope can break through the darkest clouds, As long as sun will rise, and bring the light. As long as hope can break through the darkest clouds As long as sun will rise, and bring the light.
The last leaves of autumn, Like never before, Like something forgotten Are coming to my door. And I know I shall retreat And I know I shall forgive Leaves of autumn, falling to my feet, Calling me to leave. When spring was around I knew they would grow, But still on the ground They are waiting for snow. Like the words I could not say, And like love I could not give, Leaves of autumn are covering my way, Calling me to leave. I hear them falling, I see how they fly, And rustling and rolling And whispering good-bye. Any color for your heart, Any hue you may conceive, Leaves of autumn - it is time to part, It is time to leave.
Spinning round in the web of rhymes, Living bound by the rhythm of times, Trying to escape from paradise - Of lies. Burning out till the very end, Trying hard to win the upper hand, Looking over the deserted land - For a friend. You do not give up trying To catch up with running years You don't believe in crying You don't believe in tears Looking early at the morning skies, You feel tears are coming to you eyes 'Cause you know well the Sun is yet To rise. Going lonely now or driving fast, Trying only to forget the past, You can have it all but you can't find a love To last.
When in fear or in doubt, Suffering from heat or drought, When you see no light upon your head, When your fire turns to snow, When you don't see where to go, And the rivers vanish in the sand - And as long as you live You should keep the love we give 'Cause we have every reason to believe, That through winds and snow, On the dusty roads we used to go The seeds of good, the seeds of love will grow. When the sun is lost in clouds, When you see the hungry crowds, Waiting for the words you dare not say, When you cutting off the rope, Leaving no more place for hope, And you have no God for whom to pray - And as long as you live . . . If your eyes are full of sorrow, If there is no joy tomorrow, If you're dragging on through mud and slime, If you know the price of danger, If you're just another stranger Carrying the burden of your time - As long as you live . . .
In a hut that stood upon the hill I never dreamed to see the end of winter As if someone exercised his will To make the world a silver mist, And more winds were coming from the north And flakes of snow were dancing at my window, Fire, casting shadows back and forth Invited me to the final feast. But I knew a very simple clue Was just to wait and keep your fire low, And one day above the planes of snow I saw a tiny patch of blue. And I heard the rivers breaking ice, And heels of snow all melting into rivers, And I knew that sun was soon to rise, And bells of spring were soon to chime, And I said - it's gonna be my day, But then I heard - the days are short in winter, And I said - I'm free to choose my way, I heard - we all are slaves of Time. Looking over cold and silent heels I never dreamed to see the end of winter, But one day I opened wide my window And saw the land of daffodils.
I never vent to other countries, and I never left my place - The only place I knew and where I was born, But ones I heard about the land of beauty and amazing grace, But it's the land from where you never, never return. Never return, never return, There is a land from where you never, never return. And then I asked - I want to know, I want to see the way - They said - the way you want to see is nothing but wrong - And then I said - just let me go - and then I heard them say - You may not cross the point from where you never return. Never return, never return, You may not cross the point from where you never return. It's been so long I left my home and ever since I furrow the sea While there are still fresh winds to blow and coal to burn, While there is still a chance to know, there is yet time to see What lies beyond the line from where you never return. Never return, never return, What lies beyond the line from where you never return.
I know the laws of nature, the laws of arts, I studied the rules of wisdom and meditation, But I know one thing which will take me right into your hearts, The science which is stronger than any imagination - The laws of magic - thousand years old, The laws of magic, which rule the world, The laws of magic - they are my loyal friends. The laws of magic - not simple rules, The laws of magic - my handy tools, The laws of magic, I hold them in my hands. In my work I meet with danger in every step, But I never give in to sentiment and confusion, I know the way out of every malicious trap, I never fall victim to prejudice and illusion. The laws of magic . . . In peace and in fighting we follow the will of God, But every our struggle we lose to the whims of nature. The winners are those who know the sacred word, Who follow the rules of the mightiest legislature - The laws of magic . . .
Through the hazy clouds of memories I made my way to the beginning, Through the times of darkness, Through the life of ease To the starting point of any meaning. Through wind and snow, Through the fire below, Through mud and slime To the break of time. And at the crossroad where the day was born Where words have first acquired meaning There I asked God to start the dawn, And let me begin from the beginning. But no reply, No word, no cry, No tune no rhyme, And only beat of time.
Winter. No light and no glow, Snowstorms send blow after blow. And Your life is like a dream When the silence reigns supreme, The silence of snow. Home you're bound to stay. Hour on the hour and day after day. Time goes by and deep inside In you heart you try to hide, Hide your love away. Winter - my present and past. Winter, how long will it last? But the time will come, I know, When the rivers start to flow, Snow turning into dust.
I know for sure That life is just a game, And it's been this way Since the days of creation. Someone's got secure, Someone's got the name, And I am a victim of starvation - I'm starving for love, I'm looking for love, I'm dying for love. Some people go crazy And furrow the sea, Some go to the mountains Higher and higher, And some are too lazy To do anything, And I am the one who stands in fire - The fire of love, I'm starving for love, I'm dying for love. I went to the West and I saw The mountains of gold. I went to the East and saw Destruction. And I've got me something To have and to hold, But I haven't got no satisfaction - I'm starving for love, I'm longing for love, I'm looking for love.
Why every road I take Leads only to destruction As if I try in vain To overcome my grief? And every wall I brake Gives little satisfaction, And neither kills the pain Nor brings about relief? Why is the chain of time So relentlessly fateful? While in the best of days I lose the most of luck, And covered with the slime I am becoming grateful To the rare sunny rays Still gleaming in the dark.
I am longing for a rain, With its rainbows so amazing, With the sun above us rising, As if life will start again. ( And again I'm free from pain, Far away in my home-town. In the skies and all around Sun is shining after rain. ) I like waking up at dawn Trying to guess my destination, Asking God to bring salvation, And to help me go on. And as long as time will last I shall see a new beginning If the future bears no meaning I shall find it in the past. But the light is never strong, And so fragile are those rainbows - Like this day, which comes and goes, They will never stay for long. No, I did not strive in-vain For an unknown destination. In the end there'll come salvation Like a sunshine after rain.
There was captain Willy Brown, He was known all around. Forty times he crossed the sea Four times he drowned. He was bitten by a shark, Suffered savages attack, But he always kept his ship on the right track. When in peace or at war He would always sing the song that he adored - Captain Brown, captain brown, give a smile! With a smile you can capture the world. As we travel along mile-for-mile Wit and courage are more precious Than the gold. But one day our captain found Land where beauty was abound, And he fell in love and started loosing ground. He would pale and he would blush, He would lose a lot of cash, And whatever he did - did it in a rush. He would moan all alone, And nobody was around to sing that song - Captain Brown, captain brown, give a smile With a smile you can capture the world. As we travel along mile-for-mile Wit and courage are more precious Than the gold.
C Over the hills and highways, Dm7 Through the breaking of dawn F C I never lost the sight of freedom C F I new where I came from, where I belong Dm G But it has taken me so long G7 C To see I was blessed C F G# To have you by my side, G# C Was blessed to see the children laugh C Dm Was blessed with your touch Dm F With your smile, F E Am But no - I wasn't blessed with love. F G C Am Oh, no I wasn't blessed with your love. F G C Oh, no I wasn't blessed with love. When you were by my side When you were gone I never swayed - I held it on. I held my faith in you - in you alone And it has helped me to be strong. I knew I was strong - was strong in my faith. And it was lifting me above - Above the cloudy sky - above it all But no - it did not bring me love. Oh no, it did not bring me your love. On no, it did not bring me love. Our footprints on the beach Washed out long ago So many days and fights were gone. So many friends I lost, and many had to go But you are still the one You are still the one - the one I was fighting for- I fought for each and every smile. And as I thought I won, I thought I've got enough, I saw I did not win your love Oh no, I did not win your true love - On no, I did not win you love.
When I will pass my days of glory When I will see my days of gloom, Then in the end of all the story There's the only one to whom I'll owe the bloom - My heart, you are my source of inspiration, My heart, you give me power to live, My heart, though you can lead me to temptation - I thank you, my heart, for all the love that you can give. Love often comes in times of waking, Love often comes in times of pain. But every time instead of breaking And of hiding love invain - I would refrain: My heart, ... Whenever fate throws us in trouble, Whenever you're all alone, You can grow back from all the rubble, And forget about what's gone - And sing a song - My heart, ...
