It is so amazing how a whole world full of angels
Could be so aloof to all the blinding fear
It's just an illusion built upon a cold decision
To be afraid of things that we don't understand
And brothers and sisters, can we not ride away
Out of this mess, into a brighter, a brighter day?
To save the world for our children to play
Hey, hey, hey ..
Hey, hey, hey ..
There is a new story that we know needs to be written
It tells of a world that needs a kind and gentle hand
We pushed it so far with our destruction and aggression
We need a new story in this old, forgotten land
I say it again, brothers and sisters, can we not find a way
Out of this mess, into a brighter, a brighter day?
To save the world for our children to play
Hey, hey, hey ..
Hey, hey, hey ..
And how do we know, i said how do we know
What is real and what is not?
Cuz i think about it a lot
And how did you save
All of those things that you thought you'd forgotten?
Thought you'd forgotten?
Yeah, my things, and lord, so forgotten
So forgotten
Oh brothers and, sisters and, uncles and, daughters and ..
All over the world
She's na na na na na ..
And every mother
Brothers and sisters, can we not find a way
Out of this mess, into a brighter, a brighter day
Come now for the children to play
Hey, hey, hey ..
Yeah yeah
Momma, momma, momma ..
And make it go away ..
And now ma, find a way into your heart
And now ma, find a way into your heart
And brothers and sisters, and uncles and daughters
Take it all away, this is what you say
Brothers and sisters, ride in your heart

Looking out for your way of love
Walking tall, in the light
Moving forward with time to kill
Moving forward was such a thrill
Who's to say if we ever make it home alive
Cuz the captain's here with all his dice
And you would swear this is paradise
The word on the street is that everybody's in the mood
The four on the floor at the sound of dawn
Beating point to the break of dawn
Tell me now, doesn't that sound alright?
Can you all feel the light .. shining?
Shining, shining ..
[? it goes]
Can you all feel the light .. shining?
Shining, shining ..
[? don't you know]
Everybody's feelin' alright
Living free is the way to be
Living free is our destiny
Don't let anyone tell you any different
Cuz man is meant to be whole
Not kicked around, bought, and sold
I'll tell you something now
In the end you'll see
The four on the floor at the sound of dawn
Beating point until the break of dawn
Tell me now, doesn't that sound alright?
Can you all feel the light .. shining?
Shining, shining ..
[? it goes]
Can you all feel the light .. shining?
Shining, shining ..
[? don't you know]
Everybody's feelin' alright
Looking out for your way of life
Looking out for your way of love
Looking out for your way of life
Ba-ba-ba-ba-baba ..
Ba-ba-ba-ba-baba ..
Shining, shining ..
Can you all feel the light .. shining?
Shining, shining ..
Everybody's feeling alright
Shining, shining ..
Can you all feel the light .. shining?
Shining, shining ..
vGossard/Smithv
One glance is all it took
And every single day is like no other
I don't care what you say
I don't care what you do
Drop it down and take it on the road
It's called anew
Stolen time and stolen places
Beats and rhymes and always ?
You gotta go for it all
Or not go together
I don't care what you say
I don't care what you do
Drop it down and take it on the road
It's called anew
[mumbles]
I don't care what you say
I don't care what you do
Drop it down and take it on the road
It's called anew
..

If there's any way I could prove
That I would never try
To do those bad things to you
To make you feel like you do
All we were saying was
Lets be friends and
Never let each other down
All we were saying was
Lets pretend that
We never let each other down
Words can be weapons, my friend
You never know until the end
Why did I say a word?
Why did I have to love?
All we were saying was
Lets be friends and
Never let each other down
All we were saying was
Lets pretend that
We never let each other down
We never let each other down ..
All never knows, in the blink of an eye
When the leaves turn the light to the floor
Each shares his own way of looking at love
In the stars you will find, after all
All we were saying was
Lets be friends and
Never let each other down
All we were saying was
Lets pretend that
We never let each other down
We never let each other down ..
Promised we would ..

Whenever the skies are grey
There's always a way up
A way to your heart today
And if you can make it, good
If you can make it, good
If you can make it, good
And if you can make it, good
When I want to find out
Whether I lost my way
Well isn't it any wonder
That this is what she had to say
It's gonna be good
And if you can make it, good
And if you can make it, good
And if you can make it, good
If you can make it, good
If you can make it, good
If you can make it, fly ..
Once in the middle of the night
In the fire burning bright
The shining's coming onto me
Yes, you can fly ..
Whenever the sun comes out
Whenever your skies are grey
Always a way up
A way into my heart today
If you can make it, good
vHagar/Smithv
Tell me something that I want to hear
Give me something now that I don't have to fear
I'm whurring like a motor
Tell me what I want to do
All I know now is that I want to get next to you, again
Everybody gather 'round and raise up the flag
It's a new revolution, yeah one you never ever had
Yeah, get up and dance
This is something that you know that is ? the same
When this whole world just falls right 'round the way
I don't want to hear you laugh, don't want to hear your stories, oh no
All I want to hear now is a nasty rock and roll
So give me some now
So give me some na-na-now
Shake up and dance
Stand up and dance
??
??
Tell me something nice, tell me something nice I can love
I want to love, I want to love!
I want to love, I want to love!
It's a new revolution, yeah one you never ever had
Yeah, stand up and dance
Shake up and dance, baby
Come on now, my baby
Get up and dance, my baby
Come on now, my baby
Get up and dance!
vSmithv
We can all walk farther into the sun
And I believe that sometimes if you wait just a little bit
You'll find out everything's on the one
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine
I don't know if we'll ever find our way back home
It's been so long and i don't know if i feel like drivin'
Everybody worries about it but I don't give a damn
Push on all through, it's all you got to do
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine
I don't ever want anything to come between you and me
I don't want anything to come between you and me
Can't you see?
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine
Hey, takin' it easy
We got all the time to kill and that's all fine

vGossardv
I'll scrape the ledge, too late, down the drain
And I'll pull the looking glass down on this side
To hide the raisin the size of my pride
And at the elbows, I'll reach for the sky
Bye, bye, bye ..
Bye, bye, bye ..
Could you pull the face from my hands
Can you help me scatter the ashes
Boiled in the heat of this man
Piled up like molasses
And I'll pull the looking glass down on this side
To hide the raisin the size of my pride
And at the elbow, I'll reach for the sky
Bye, bye, bye ..
Bye, bye, bye ..
And I'll wonder why anyone would be fighting
And I'll wonder why anyone would be fighting
I'll pull the looking glass down on its side
To hide the raisins the size of my pride
Bye, bye, bye ..
Bye, bye, bye ..
Bye, bye, bye ..
vBerg/Smithv
Feelin' not too hot now, yeah this is the scene
And you know that the world, is falling into times
Yeah the motor city, is sinking into the seas
Yeah yeah
Open up man, tell me do you like ?
??
Everbody's been tellin' me that we can be doin' fine
If we all give it time
It should be an open world and i am feelin' fine
You know the world will never die
Because ..
Open the door, tell them ?, come inside
Open the door, letters fall, come inside
Open the doors, letters fall, come inside
Open the door, letters fall, come inside
??
Against hatred
Against hatred
??
Against hatred
Against hatred
??
All is one, all is one, all is one ..
vBrad/Smithv
Oceans swell to have the final say
But who's to give, and who's to take away?
Have to try, it's better to try
So we all can sit together
It's one for all, and all for one
It's holding hands, you havin' fun?
It's who you are, we are alone
So hold on tight and don't let go
Don't be afraid to let it show
A king and queen, oh don't you know?
A king and queen, oh don't you know?
That you are me ..
In the bottom of my heart
In the stories of the past
Watch the face, you know too well
Watch the shadow made of diamonds
It's one for all, and all for one
It's holding hands, you havin' fun?
It's who you are, we are alone
So hold on tight and don't let go
Don't be afraid to let it show
A king and queen, oh don't you know?
A king and queen, oh don't you know?
That you are me ..
vSmithv
I get this feeling when I wake up late at night
Yeah you know, you ever wake up
And just a-frightened feeling down in your soul?
And you know you're gonna find pretty love most of the time
I don't give a damn either way
Cuz pretty soon you're gonna be with us
And no lights are gonna shine on us
There's no prison, hate, hunger, or greed
You can come on over until you can see
Woke up and ?? made me
Yes, and sometimes that's gonna break me
It's so cold and lonely, and I just need some sun
So whatcha gonna do
When it seems like everything's comin' after you?
You just gotta dig in your heals again [again, again, again]
Cuz pretty soon you're gonna be with us
And the lights are gonna shine on us
There's no prison, hate, hunger, or greed
You can come along until you, you'll see
You need to come bury your, go bury your favorite toys
Very own, your very own favorite toys
And I don't know what anybody's gonna say
If this whole thing just goes up and blows away
Yeah, I know you listen to what you heard
But you didn't hear a word
Oh it's pleasant sometimes
So satisfying to spend this time with you
Cuz pretty soon you're gonna be with us
And the lights are gonna shine on us
There's no prison, hate, hunger, or greed
You can come along until you, you'll see
La la la ..
La la la ..
?? this one time you'll see
Yeah you never think ?? me
Cuz the lights are gonna shine on us
Yeah the lights are gonna shine on us
vSmithv
It's the sound of a choir
Sing along with the music in the air
It's like being in love
You're lost but not heart-broken
And you're wondering if you'll still be around
It's like catching a falling star
When a girl is your own best friend
You are, yeah, you are ..
So where on earth do you wanna go?
To New York city or Southern Mecixo?
Where the sky is bright and the leaves are green
Where the air is clear and lost but not heart-broken
And you're wondering who's really around
It's like being your own best friend
It's like being your own best friend
You are, yeah, you are ..
So let me know whenever the time comes
If you need any assistance
Cuz you know I'll always lend a hand
And many can begin it again
Cuz I'll tell you who knows
Who knows how the story goes
Now this life will come to an end
When the flowers are blooming
And all your friends are gone
There couldn't be a more fitting end
Being in this movie where you're loss
And sometimes you're heart-broken
You're wondering if you even want to be around
But sometimes your own best friend
Is a girl
You are, yes, you are ..
