Light the fire, Burn the sky
Ride the cloud line
Higher and higher
On and on
On and on
On and on
I see the Earth
Fall behind
I can see heaven
In my mind
On and on
On and on
On and on
Ahh
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
I can’t turn around
The future has passed
And nothing will stop me
As I head for the stars
Ahh

The scent of lotus blossom hovers in the air
Beside the Nile a temple reaches the sky
All the kings and the queens of Egypt assemble one by one
The gods have brought them all here to come alive
The sound of mystical drums and trumpets cuts through the breeze
A seated pharaoh stands up to leave his throne
All the people stand quiet in wonder they wait to hear his words
Silence fills the humid evening air
Bowing to you, resurrect your life
Amun Ra my god, where have you been?
A fanfare plays as creature shadows cross the walls
It highlights writings by scribes that teach us about it all
All the years of light cascading through alabaster jars
Kings and queens now breath again but death befits them all
Bowing to you, resurrect your life
Amun Ra my god, where have you been?

Time to Dream

I see an eagle on the wing
And he’s busy going nowhere
I rest my spine to the ground
And watch him coming out of somewhere
Time to dream
I do what I do
Go where I go
I will be free
Come and talk to me
But I’m busy going nowhere
Come and take my hand
Let us escape of to somewhere
Time to dream
I know what I know
Like what I see
And I will be free
Free
Now watch me run away > Run away from it all
And I'll pretend I’m going somewhere > Somewhere in time
Tomorrow’s another day > I’ll just speak another day
And I’ve nothing else to say > No one hears me anyway
Time to dream
I’ve nothing to lose
I’m lost where you’re found
But I remain free
I’ll be free, time to dream

Here today, gone tomorrow
Do you remember yesterday?
Childhood smiles become ageing sorrow
Have you forgot what was today
Has life passed you by?
Did that bird ever fly?
Staring out from your window
I see you count the cars hurtling by
Was your life like a race to the end
The chequered flag waves goodbye
But it’s never over
If you look after number one
If you feel you’re always losing
Just tell yourself life’s just begun
Don’t let those wheels stop turning
Make sure your rock will roll
Don’t give in you must stand strong and proud
Just by knowing who you are
Strike a pose and show them all what you know
Tell them what’s in your head so far
I guess what I’m trying to say is
> What are you trying to say?
I’ve got a whole lot of faith in you
> I’ve got a similar faith in you
I think it’s sad to see you ever losing
> Losing’s nowhere in my mind
Cos you’re a winner through and through
It’s getting late and I’ve got to go now
But I’m always there for you

Holy Blues

Here comes that old cliché
How can something be so wrong yet feel so ok?
And just when you think you’ve got nothing else to lose
Life shows you, ooh yes you do
Cos you’ve got the holy rocking rollin’ blues
Wise words from a sad old man
You’ve got nothing else to do so just keep rolling, rolling through
We’ve done nothing wrong but we get nothing right
So just put it all in a song and I’ll sing it to you
Oh it’s like the time when you relax with nothing more to do
Then life shows you, oh yes you do
And when you hope that those bad times will never come again
Oh life shows you, oooh yes they do, yes they do
When you’ve got the holy rocking rollin’ blues
Ooohhh, do you feel like you’ve got so much to say
You don’t wanna keep it all inside in whatever way
Cos it’s a small man who hides and it takes a big man to cry
Oh, doing all the things you do although you’re wrong cos you might just get it right
Get it right someday, someway
And when you feel that you’ve nowhere, nowhere else to go
Well I will show you, ooh yes you do, yes you do
Whooo, and I will carry you, cos I’m strong
Hey, I will show you we all mean something, yes we do, yes we do, we all do
Oh, yes you do, yes you do
Even when you’ve got those holy rocking blues

Keep Your Head Down
06:02

He’s climbing up to see how high he needs to be, escaping what’s below
Claws are scratching, penetrating stone
There lies beneath him forever chasing serpents and monsters
Oh how he finds himself so tiny
Getting higher, raising hope that soon he evades capture
Once he’s feeling safe and sure he breaks and takes a sip of nectar
From the smallest flower only he doth know
Legs are aching, tail is dragging he finds a hollow in the shade
It’s here that he reflects on life
Feeling high with full relief that he evaded capture
Oh, he feels the sun
He’s as high as he can go
Many fall victim
They all climb too slow
But now he feels the warm embrace of survival
Survival
Now he’s covered in leaves
Keeping scent away from the breeze
Keep your head down, keep your head down
Cos only he will know how he’ll ever grow
Keep those eyes open and your ears might save you
Oh, he feels the sun . . . (Reprise)
It’s time to escape, make our way from the dark
We’re looking for the meaning to give life a spark
I’m sorry to say, that life is a test
Where some of us climb above from the rest
Although you might fall, or the climb is too great
Grab with both hands like it’s never too late

Am I a common Englishman with undetermined blood, I’m feeling so confused living’s not enough
I miss my mother all the time but I’m doing fine
In England, in England
But save me from the man I am
I’m full of bruises now but it’s damage I can heal, it’s all the things inside my head that I still feel
When I’m over here with daddy, my mummy’s far away
In England, in England
But save me from the man I am
Save me from the man
The politics of being me has had you both in chains, but neither of you have much regard for all my aches and pains
If I’m to be forgotten now then let me sleep in peace for I am still a baby, waiting for release
In England, in England
But save me from the man I am
There was a boy who had no place, he never knew his part
His life was caught between two places tearing at his heart
There is a place that he has found and no-one hurts him there
And should you ever hear his name, act is if you care
He’s just another Englishman with undetermined blood, he’s feeling so confused living’s not enough
He might have worked things out someday
Instead he gave it all away
In England, in England
In England, in England
He said, I know the man I am

It’s the way they call the numbers
It’s the way the dice will fall
It doesn’t matter what the numbers are
It’s chance that fools you all
Now you’re hoping for a win
But what you gonna do in case you lose
Spinning that roulette wheel
Throwing those old dice
Seeing how the deck was dealt
Is how you pay the price
And take your chances
You must be disappointed
Cos after all to lose would be a sin
How do you judge the prizes?
When you know you’re gonna lose before you win
You’re the gambler
Gentlemen place your bets please
Ladies lay your cards on the table
It doesn’t matter if your luck is in
It’s fate that rules us all
Is there a chance that you might win
But it’s really paper, scissors, stone?
Spinning that old bottle
Poker faced you pray
That no-one sees you cheating
If it’s the only way you play
Take your chances

I’d just like to say, there’s enough beauty all around
In all the things I’ve found on the way
Ohh but we’ve gotta realise that if we blow it all away
We’ll be left here as fools in the end
Oh by the way, mother nature’s the one
She’ll always pull through, she prevails
Yeah, but all I see is us destroying the land
I watch the sun, sea and sky fade away
Where’s the colours of the rainbow?
Where are those golden sands?
The world could be rescued if we all lend a hand
There’s enough here for everyone
There’s a forest for all
Plant more trees for humanity
Or just watch them fall
No lies
No more fear
No more envy
No more greed
No more jealousy
No, no more pain
Feed, feed the world
No hate > If there were no lies
No more lies > No more fear
No more fear > No more envy
No more envy > We’d have no more greed
No more greed > No more jealousy
Jealousy no > We’d have no more pain
No more, no more pain > So no-one goes hungry
Feed the world > We’d have no more hate
Then we’d say goodbye to war

Fame and Miss Fortune

The lights are dim, the play’s a grim tale you’ve heard before
The orchestra bows an unknown score
You’d give your life for a little more time, time to learn
Now the finale is over, over and done
Every line on every face, shadow falls beyond the lace
Just as the rose that blooms in the springtime
It seems so long ago to me, but it was yesterday for you
Your game is over, you know in your heart
Yesterday’s promises kiss you goodbye
Faded bouquets lay with the memories kept in your shrine
But still you believe the spotlight shines for you
Every line on every face, shadow falls beyond the lace
Just as the rose that blooms in the springtime
It seems so long ago to me, but it was yesterday for you
*
Every line on every face, shadow falls beyond the lace
Just as the rose that blooms in the springtime
It seems so long ago to me, but it was yesterday for you
