Les paroles

1. TEARS IN THE SKY

World is turnin',
But society's standing still
Vows of eden have burned
Thru compassions' will

[Pre-Chorus]:
Now we're only human or so they say
Just another deformed analogy
Further from
What we all thought was near
Now the clouds r cryin'

[Chorus]:
Tears in the sky r fallin' down again,
No sun 2morrow
Tears from the sky r rainin',
We're near the end

Peace, love & joy,
Expressions oblivious
Talk is cheap in the words
That r dangerous

Now we're dumb & blind
& so misunderstood
Ignorance dims our,
Our dare 2 recover
No more faith in life,
No more surprise
If we never, ever cease the cryin'

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

Can you hear the cryin'


2. CRAZY (SEAL COVER)

A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there 4 is
2 unlock the door
While those around him criticise & sleep

Through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see u my friend,
& touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we speak

[Chorus]:

But we're never gonna survive
Unless we get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive
Unless we r a little crazy
Crazy,
Yellow people runnin' thru my head
1 of them's got a gun
2 shoot the other 1
Yet 2gether they were friends
At school

If i were there when u 1st took the pill
Then maybe..
Miracles will happen as we speak

[Chorus]

But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy

In a sky full of people
There's only some want 2 fly now
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people
There's only some want 2 fly
Isn't that crazy
In a heaven of people
There's only some want 2 fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people
There's only some want 2 fly
Isn't that crazy

[Chorus]


3. BODY

Babe, if u got the time
I'd like 2 reward u
With this gift of endowment
& babe, put aside your pride
Yo' body's what i'm about
& i can't wait 2 taste it

Mama, don't act so shy
Cuz, i've heard your confessions
Thru candles & wine
Now, mama, at this point & time
It ain't yo' mind i'm thinkin' of
When your sweet ass is smiling

Comin, i'm comin'
I need it, like never b 4, want your,

[Chorus]:

Body, i need your, body
Just as the night turns 2 mornin',
I know i must feed on yo'
Body, now colour my, body
Give me your version of heaven,
I now surrender 2 u

Babe, don't waste my time
Now, u've worked up the tower,
Now u must work your way down
Now, babe, if i had a dime
4 all the ways i wanna do ya,
I'd b the wealthiest man around

Comin', i'm comin', i'm screamin'
Cryin', i'm cryin', i need it,
Like never b 4, want yo'

[Chorus]:

I'm grindin' more ways than 1,
I'm playin' down by the river
I'll drown if u come 2 fast
Is this the right way it's done?,
I'm playin' down by the river
Now scream if u want me
2 make it last, want yo'

[Chorus]:

This groovy direction deserves
What u do, need yo'
C'mon everybody, grab a body


4. TEMPTATION

Fightin' 4 the livin', prayin' 4 the day
Freedom 2 deliver my design
Not the latest fashion, not the flavour
Of the year
Same old situation everytime

Pre:

But i'll tell u something, it ain't nothin'
But nothin'
Than a little blasphemous dissuasion
I'll give u 2 time chances,
3 strikes & i'm dancin'
I'll see u on the way up as u go down

[Chorus]:

It's o.k., it's alright
I'll b the 1 u always dreamed about
I'm o.k., i'm alright
The chosen 1 u just can't live without

The game is in my favour,
Now your tail between your legs
Take a look at
Your consciousness 2day
Now i ain't burnin' bridges,
But i ain't just your
Average ordinary man,
Ain't gonna b pushed down
Ain't gonna b pushed away

[Chorus]

A word 2 so-called visionaries blind
2 our design
While u buy your puppets lacking soul
U missed the boat & now your're
Sayin' we go back so far
Don't kid yourself
Cause we already know

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

It's o.k., it's alright
I'm the temptation
That u dreamed about
It's o.k., i'm alright
The chosen 1 u just can't live without


5. LOVEBLIND

There're times all my visions r
Black & white
The colours fade 2 gray
Every page draws me closer
2 who i am
A dreamer lost in a daze

Dead & gone r the days of divinity
I won't pretend anymore

No 1 can know
No1 knows,
So no 1 really cares when
Love leaves u blind & all alone

All the shame gathered
Thru all the evidence
It turns me inside out
Turn the key, lock the door,
Cuz i won't let u in
It's cuz i'm still in doubt
No 1 can know
No 1 knows,
So no 1 really cares when
Love leaves u blind & all alone
No 1 can know
No 1 i know honors
The shadows sorrow
Love leaves u blind & all alone

Would u know if the lines i've
Submitted
Could relate 2 u

No1 can know
No 1 knows, so no 1 really cares when
Love leaves u blind & all alone
No 1 can know
No 1 i know honors
The shadows sorrow
Love leaves u blind


6. SOUL 2 SOUL

...once upon a time in a land
Of perfect love
1 soul not 4tunate enough
2 live it how she dreamed
Ups & downs like every 1 else,
But this story's kinda special
It just happens 2 b about some 1
I know

She sits & stares
The memories roll by in slow motion
A sign of the times
Reality's as blue as the ocean

Life's dealt her a losin' hand
But love will come in time

[Chorus]:

From 1 soul 2 soul
Don't run away
Cause a change is comin'
From 1 soul 2 soul
Don't turn away
Cause a change is comin'
She comes undone
When the cynicals around her
Simply turn their heads
She prays 4 the day
She'll get 2 live her dreams
& fantasies that lie ahead

Y no 1 will understand
A bleedin' heart cryin'

[Chorus]:

Like any 1 else,
She knows what she wants
Only higher power can save her
From a fall

[Chorus] (x2)

...here's where the story ends
Well at least all we know thus far


7. ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS

Take all the pain u've turned 2 sorrow
No need 2 b afraid or ashamed
They say there's nothing ventured,
Nothing gained
So don't u turn your back again

[Pre-Chorus 1:]

& if creation as we know it
Would just crumble from our reach

All u could say is i shoulda, woulda
But by then it's 2 late

[Chorus]:

All that really matters
Is a truce will come in time
Visions torn & shattered will come
Back in a sign
All that really matters
When life is all but tears
Now take a look around u the answer
Will come in time

Honor is something gained,
Not granted
It all begins with thou & u
It's not all behind a secret meaning
U'll get your deserves that r due
Now given the chances
Life's bestowed u
Given the seasons washed away

[Pre-Chorus 2:]

Now don't u let me down
Cuz i won't allow
The words u love 2 say


8. A LIFE

Momma, do u feel the pain as i'm travelin'
Thru the fields of your soul
Momma, please take my hand,
Help me 2 understand
Cuz, i'm afraid 2 face this life alone

People, faces everywhere
Everytime i turn i see another stop& stare
2 much, 2 soon, take a picture
Of the modern world
Televisionaries, hari-kari, quite contrary
U'd think the trials of life were scary
4 a boy growin' 2 a man,
Now watch my flag unfurl, good god,

The mirror on the wall shows a frightened man
The lessons i've learned could not explain
The meaning of love now sees thru puzzled eyes
No 1 could define the joy & the pain, i'm born again

I'd die 4 your love if u'd take me in
True life begins, as i embrace another miracle
I live 4 your love, til the day we die with no tears 2 cry,
I'll guide u thru fear & desire, oh

All i know, in the shadows of where i've been
All i know, no more cares if i lose or win now i know,
As i watch my children grow now i know,
I'm fulfilling my mother's soul all i know,
While the world is spinnin' around all i know,
& the hands of time r tickin' down now i know,
I look back 2 my days of youth
Now i know, i'm much older now, but i'm not yet thru

I'm still searchin' the keys of my life
The war's far from over inside

I died in your arms as your tears recite
Our pictured life, did i fulfill my prediction
Was it all i yearned 2 know, so long ago
If i had the chance 2 do it all again,
I wouldn't change a thing


9. SYMPATHY

Could u ever believe the words
Of honor again
Like a dissarayed poet
Who's lost his yen
Could u ever believe love
& war hand & hand
2 the core, life of riley,
Now wouldn't that b grand

[Pre-Chorus]:

I don't know, where i'm turning
I got it all my way yet i'm all alone
I'm all alone, the more that i try, now
The further i'm running

Could u ever feel emotion
4 some 1 again
Seems your obscuring views r
The same as your friends
Could u ever think
Another would take it your way
Funny how the tables turn
When ties go astray

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]:

I'm a former lovechild lookin'
4 sympathy
I'm a master in the art
Of passion calamity

Could u ever believe in a perfect desire
Satisfaction begins
When the power is mine
Could u ever decide
That u've had enough
Cuz someday, someway,
Somehow i'll finally call your bluff


10. SO LONG

Vivid images i've had of u
If your imagination only knew
The passion i had in mind,
Words can't explain

Thru the night in2 the waking hours
I feel your silhouette,
I touch your flower
Nothing can take the place,
The place of u
I been lookin' 4 the means 2 carry on

[Chorus]:

So long,
I can still remember nights 2gether
So long, now i can't get over
So long, i recall the vows we sang
2gether 4 so long

The rythym of your breath beats
On my skin
Anticipation starts 2 settle in
This night ain't gonna last 4ever
But i'm gonna make u wish it did,
Now baby,
Cuz 2morrow u'll b gone

[Chorus]

Call it what u will but i must disagree
Everything we built
From a mere fantasy
But the moral 2 this tale is far
From learning

All the promises were just words
In the night
& i made u my religion,
But i missed the light
But the answers still lie
In the wake of 2morrow
Until then i know,
U know it's been so long


11. HOW WAS I TO KNOW

I've waited 4 so long,
I've waited 4 this time
The signs can't b wrong,
The answers in your eyes
& I never thought I'd spend
Another night alone
So alone, but I turned & u were gone

[Chorus]:

How was I 2 know that I would b the only 1
How was I 2 know that I would b the lonely 1

Another year gone by,
A thousand tears I've cried
This lonliness invades
& sorrow fills my mind
as I pray I'd never spend
Another night alone
so alone, cuz I just can't go on

[Chorus]

How was I 2 know that I would b the only 1
...that's fallen, I'm callin' I'm pleadin' on my knees
I been cryin', & I'm dyin'
So wont'cha let me in

[Chorus]
