Incomplete 04:23
I got my information second hand That life was better in the promised land Now my shoe leather's gone And the scenery's all wrong 'Cause now I'm finding what it really means True love is harsh compared to love in dreams Of a broken canon law and a sinner's first hallelujah There's a lock for this key But the map is incomplete I don't know how to go But if you'd set your eyes on me You'd set me free The truth is slippery but it seems to me You find it mainly in uncertainty When the volume's turned down But you're singing The promise isn't necessarily Just exactly what they said it'd be It doesn't have to be true If it gets you where you're going to

You left without a goodbye Not a good reason why Just an hour before midnight I can't understand why you'd run I thought we were having fun I just hope it turns out alright More, I always asked you for more But how do you keep the score? And am I getting the questions right? Clear, it's never been very clear But what I can see from here Is the dark makes the stars shine bright And I remember the warm sunlight I just hope it turns out alright Can't you remember the way that it was in the start? I never believed you and me would be this far apart Truth, if I could leave here today Think I'd go right away But I guess that it's just not right I'm lost Because I can't hear your tune Please come back to me soon I'll be staying up late tonight Because I remember the warm sunlight I just hope it turns out alright Can't you remember the way that it was in the start? I never believed you and me would be this far apart I just hope it turns out alright

Melodies soothing the heart of a king Words and a voice and a new song to sing Music to burn like a fire Igniting an aching desire That’s what I want, that’s what I want Colors that dance for the cold distant soul Where hope has bowed down to the darkest control A prism of harmony To sing in the place that knows a need to be free That’s what I want, that’s what I want Now compassion has learned how to lie To the man that I saw in the street who forgot how to cry And blessed is not what I see But is this the cup that you have given to me That’s not what I want, but that’s what I want A father whose joy is his son A new kind of love that’s only just begun It’s the life that I’ve dreamed of Made from pain mixed with hope found in death given life Saved by love

Nagai aida machitsuzuketeita 長い間待ち続けていた Kokoro hikare tsuite iku 心引かれついて行く Anata wo sakebi tsuzuketa あなたを叫び続けた Kono namida de nagasareta この涙で流された And I'm waiting for you Take my heart Kimi dake ni ageru 君だけにあげる I was made for loving you And I will wait Anata wo machitsuzukeru あなたを待ち続ける I was made for loving you Anata ga aishite kureta kara あなたが愛してくれたから Sono ai ni kotaetai その愛に答えたい Boku no kokoro torae 僕の心とらえ Mitsumerareru sore dake de 見つめられる、それだけで

A humble lunch - soup and sandwiches In boxes on a stony ledge A line of hungry men A son asks, "Why are we here every week?" "With old men on a losing streak," "We could probably find some better friends" The father's only words The best advice he'd ever heard There's a sunshine That you need to find In everyone you're looking at The light that's in you It's in them too Just don't forget about that Self-assured, strong, and cynical The safest life but oh so dull We stay a million miles apart The other path, the logic of the wise That "without a teardrop in your eye" "There'll be no rainbow in your heart" Love’s an elementary creed That breaks us and them down to you and me

Who's the dude in the news got the blues gonna lose all ewes in the pews he's seducin' Cat got out of the sack now he's back with an axe to attack for the greenbacks he's losing In the hole on the dole 'cause he thought he could ransom his soul to stop the bleeding Tried to aid and abet but the best he could get was a "No!" without a reason Hey ya, hey ya, it's a simple symphony Hey ya, hey ya, never seemed that simple to me Nihongo hanaso to omou dakedo boku ne, mada heta kuso desu Nihon de sundeiru ai shiteiru from the uyoku trucks to the the Hello-Kitty-cuteness But I can see that look on your face that says. "Ano gaijin's trying to impress" But if that's what you think, I can't believe that's what you think, shikatta nai, maji de, sou desu

My dark-eyed friend you're spending so much time to get it right You see a man of faith I see someone trying to add a meaning to his life Hear the constant voice drowning in the noise of an angry crowd Don't confuse the truth with a blind old man who's just talking loud No running away, living life like a refugee I believe you'll remember the way 'Cause you'll find that you're suddenly not alone Not so far from home There's a place to go Even in the great unknown Rewind to simpler times if onward's not your strongest hand Realize that endless tides will wash away all the little fortresses of sand And when you think it's done, you start re-telling a story you thought you knew Love's like speaking a new tongue that's not native to either one of you

Remember when our dreams all crumbled into dust There was barely moisture for tears back then When planted seeds wouldn't grow up from the ground But I think those days are at and end You just gotta believe with me now We were looking for hope, and it's found 'Cuz tonight there's a river bubbling up from the ground Deferring hope has made your wounded heart sick Left your spirit badly bruised But find your dreams and try to wake up again 'Cuz I just got some good news

My Song 6 02:50
It's the divine right of kings: people who end up at the top don't want to think they got there by accident Johnny's still a boy make a big noise playing in the street gonna song a love song I like But the truth is that it was because he loves the buzz that comes mainly in the summer night Col and Les stress success with less excess a mess of guests with a song in mind While Tommy's got tattoos infused with clues coming from his truths with views to a soul refined All I need's a mustard seed The danger in dreaming is that our dreams don't come true And it's hard for us when things we envisage don't work out But the danger in not dreaming is that without our dreams We don't know WHAT to do In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth In the beginning God CREATED
