When 03:26
There's not a lot you can say To a friend who's in a bad way You try to find the right words Even though you know They won't be heard You've got to know when to hide And when to be by their side There's not a lot you can do When a friend is so blue Their emotions are askew Sometimes, they'll lash out at you You've got to know when to hide And when to be by their side It's tough to see somebody hurt When they feel they have no worth It's hard to see somebody down When they feel that no one understands You've got to know when to hide And when to be by their side
2.
No one can tell you how to see No one can tell you how to be No one can know, but you No one can show you the way No one can tell you what to say No one can know, but you Only you can know Only you can know No one can tell you whom to pray No one can tell you if you need to be saved Only you can know Only you can know
3.
And Begin 03:09
Take out the trash in your mind Take out the stone in your heart Take out the sleep from your eyes And take in the wonder of the stars Take out the fibs from your lips Take out the wax from your ear Take out the plug in your gut And take in the wonder of being here Throw the old guests out Bring the new guests in Throw the devil out And let the music in And begin
4.
Somewhere In the back of your mind There's something you can find To remind you Why you are here Somewhere In the heart of your soul There's something you can hold So close Something so dear Open the door Tear down the wall Let the light come through
5.
Sunrise 02:42
Sunrise, fixing up the morning New skies, coming into play Closed eyes, waiting to be open To see the unfolding of the day Sunrise Sunrise Sun ray, beaming on you sleeping Sunlight, glowing on your face Closed mouths, waiting to be open To take in the first breath of the day Sunlight Sunlight Sunshine, warming up the buildings New shades, moving through this place Closed doors, waiting to be open To bring the stories of the day Sunshine Sunshine
6.
Summer Fades 02:29
Summer fades Melts away But it will be back Another day Friends, they stray They drift away But there'll be more On their way Love will wane Fall away But it will return In another way
7.
Open your eyes Switch off your mind Come back to The light of the day Take a step in time Pull up the blinds Come back to The light of the day Thinking too much You know that it's rough on you Too long on your own And look at what you've sewn Only loneliness and sadness Bitterness and madness So, open your eyes Switch off your mind Come back to The light of the day
8.
Looking up at the sky Watching the clouds go by Looking out to sea Watching the waves roll free I remember me Looking in the dirt Watching things unearth Looking at the trees Watching falling leaves I remember me
9.
This old river Puts me in a dream A world of reflections A world of peace This old river puts me in a dream This old river sets me free This old river Casts a spell on me I seem to disappear And move like the breeze This old river casts a spell on me This old river sets me free This old river Makes my troubles sleep Takes me to a place Of tranquility This old river makes my troubles sleep This old river sets me free This old river's been good to me
