So let the people talk
It’s Monday morning walk
Right past the fabulous mess we’re in
It’s gonna be a beautiful day
So do the bluebirds sing
As I take your hand
And you take my kiss
And I take the world
‘Cause out of all the people I’ve known
The places I’ve been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I’ve seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on throughIt’s you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position
To live, to learn, to love in the major keyAnd I know how you’ve hurt
And been dragged through the dirt
But c’mon get back up
It’s the time to live
So give your love to me
I’m gonna keep it carefully
Deep in the treasure chest below my breast
‘Cause out of all the people I’ve known
The places I’ve been
The songs that I have sung
The wonders I’ve seen
Now that the dreams are all coming true
Who is the one that leads me on throughIt’s you
Who puts me in the magic position, darling now
You put me in the magic position, darling now
Let me put you in the magic position, darling
‘Cause I’m singing in the, the major keyLet me put you in the major key

You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
But you saw no fault no cracks in my heart
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you
And we’ll live a long life
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
‘Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we’ll be alrightSo lead me back
Turn south from that place
And close my eyes from my recent disgrace
‘Cause you know my call
We’ll share my all
Now children come and they will hear me roar
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
‘Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold as long as you like
Just promise me we’ll be alrightBut hold me still bury my heart on the cold
And hold me still bury my heart on the coldSo give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
‘Cause oh that gave me such a fright
But I will hold on as long as you like
Just promise me that we’ll be alrightBut the ghosts that we knew made us blackened or blue
But we’ll live a long lifeAnd the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
And we’ll live a long life -
Show me your reasons to fight,
The new world tonight,
And I will be here by your side,
So true.Because I couldn’t see truth from my eyes,
They blinded me with rules from when I was a child,
Because all around the vain ones decide,
The ways in which we live our lives.But we’ll breathe,
Our dreams,
And we’ll scream,
Louder, so we’ll be seen.Show me the truth that you hide,
The world needs to know,
That there’ll be no sacrifice,
The love we share has to grow.Take off that burden that persists,
There’ll be no miracles to make you fit.
And look deep into my eyes,
You’ll see the truth you long to find.And we’ll breath,
Our dreams,
And we’ll scream,
Louder, so we’ll be seen.Show me the tears that you cry,
Some problems can cut deep inside,
But I believe there’s ways to climb,
Up out into another time.Where we’ll breath
Our dreams,
And we’ll scream
Louder, so we’ll be seen…Love…
Is.
Freedom… -
I don’t know what he’s conquered
Is there really a surprise?
Love won’t always haunt me
Though it definitely tries
I know you can see
That there is so much more to meOh, I’ve only just, I’ve only just begun
Oh, I’ve only just, I’ve only just begunI hate that I’m not perfect
And it eats me up inside
But hate cannot prepare you
For the hurdles in your stride
I know you can see
That there is so much more to meOh, I’ve only just, I’ve only just begun
Oh, I’ve only just, I’ve only just begun
Only just begun, I’ve only just begunI don’t always learn the first time
I don’t always learn the first time
I don’t always learn the first timeThe first time
Oh, I’ve only just, I’ve only just begun
Oh, I’ve only just, I’ve only just begun
I’ve only just begun, I’ve only just begun -

The darkness has a voice tonight
It seeps in from the summer sky
It fills me up and it sounds so sweet
A lullaby that’s haunting meAnd I’m waiting for a lifeline
Perhaps I’ll be here a lifetime
Oh it’s grown through the years
Starting ringing in my ears
Saying just know
Wherever you go
I will follow…And the darkness has a voice tonight
So beautiful but so unkind
I’m floating in the boiling ink
I’m terrified of how I thinkAnd I’m waiting for a lifeline
Perhaps I’ll be here a lifetime
Oh it’s grown through the years
Starting ringing in my ears
Saying just know
Wherever you go
I will follow…The darkness has a voice tonight
The darkness has a voice tonight
The darkness has a voice tonight
The darkness has a voice tonight -
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
Up and up
Up and upDown upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
Up and up
Up and upSee a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It’s in your blood
It’s in your bloodUnderneath the storm an umbrella is saying
Sitting with the poison takes away the pain
Up and up
Up and up, it’s sayingWe’re gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and upLying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up
Up and upSee the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love
Just need love, when the going is rough sayingWe’re gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and goAnd you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind and take a risk
You can say “It’s mine” and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a giftWe’re gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and upWe’re gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Whoa
We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and upFixing up a car to drive in it again
When you’re in pain
When you think you’ve had enoughDon’t ever give up

“Something was changing inside of me, insisting I shed the pretense and be real. I was like a turtle who’d outgrown his shell. I needed new shelter. A place to grow and stretch and be myself. My real self.”

I won’t laugh now that your precious sun has gone
I won’t pray for the rain to come
Words make me feel like a newborn
A new time has come, I will live it on my ownBut how did it all come down?
Keep your head up now, your precious sun has grown
You’ll have to wait for the rain to come
A blank page’s worth a thousand words
When only one song could destroy them allAnd why couldn’t it be this one?
I wrote it on my own before the dawnI won’t cry now, the insiders are free to leave
And I feel at peace with the flood still waiting
I created these worlds, one by one, word by word
If there was a song that could destroy them all
Why should I sing it now that I feel all alone?And why couldn’t it be this one?
I wrote it on my own before the dawnI was warned but now that my time has come
Please let me drown just one more time
Before the dawnI was strong but now my kingdom’s come down
I’ll wear my crown just one more time
Before the dawnHow did it all come down? why am I the only one?
Leave the dark and see the light
There is no need to look back
Leave the dark, life seems so bright
We’ll free yourself from your thoughts
Now that it’s time to grow up
Don’t tell me so when no one’s around
Leave the dark, life seems so bright
We won’t stab you in the back
But how did it all come down?I was warned but now that my time has come
Please let me drown just one more time
Before the dawnI was strong but now my kingdom’s come down
I’ll wear my crown just one more time
Before the dawnBut how did it all come down? -

To die with you
