I wanna go back to the days, when I was young , and I walked in the garden. I can see my soul standin there and I swear it was callin...callin me, gonna make it to the cover, you can bet your life that I know how, gonna find me a lover, and I'll take her home, I'm gonna make it to the cover, I'm gonna make it to the cover......And I can see the sun, as it beat down upon my head, I said it cast a shadow, on the ground of a lonely man tell me can you understand, gonna make it the cover, you can bet your life that I know how, gonna find me a lover, and I'll take her home, gonna make it to the cover, gonna make it to the cover...@@@@...Lookin out the front door, climbin up the backdoor, have you checked the window, is he comin now. Climbing up the mountain, drinkin from the fountain, have you tastd the water, will it kill me now. Lord I'm fallin baby, said I'm callin baby, callin to the man, has he got the plan, will he make it stand, na na na na na, up the mountain, drinkin from the fountain, have you tastd the water, will it kill me now, lord I'm cryin baby, I said I'm flyin baby. Lookin out the front door , climbin up the back door, have you checked the window, is he comin now , ooh yeah. And I could see the dream, as it's realized, right in front of me, well there ain't no need for fantasy, it's only reality, who would've beleived, beleive me now. Gonna make it to the cover, you can bet your life that i know how,gonna find me a lover, and I'll take her home, I'm gonna make it to the cover, gonna make it to the cover,gonna make it to the cover...........
Shadowed paths and rubys lying in the yard, do you know who you really are, counting sunsets, and counting on, all your pennies, can't you see the're gone.......... Cruisin through the city, and i think I've got it all, then I crash into a deja vu, of when i was just small. The world it was my playground, imagination my wheels, I could ride as far eyes could see, but I forget now how it feels, to ride again. And then the people started sayin, son you gotta walk the line, but it looked so straight and narrow, that I thought I'd lose my mind. And pages turn, and children learn, and five years down the way, we're all a bunch of cattle, tryin to graze away the day. I said stop, oh thank you jesus, as i bumped into a tree and the sunlight hit my eyes, and I got down with feelin free. I said now freedom is the question, oh yes I think that is the call, but the more I search for answers, it's conform or leave it all. I want to ride again....like we used to do, when you we're you, oh like we used to do, when blue was blue, and you we're you. throw me down upon the ground, if my voice outta scream that sound, of a boy cryin out in the night, that the day ain't mine, yeah mine, ooh mine, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, cause I wanna ride again yeah, said I'm gonna ride again, gonna ride again.........o like we used to do, when you we're you, ride again like we used to do, when blue was blue, and you we're you. Now it seems the farther that I get, the tighter that I roll, the pushin and the pullin, and the rippin at my soul, why must the rebel be the outcast, not the outcast be the norm. Lets all throw away the prudence and get on with being born. Teach me a new dance baby, show me some style, I swear i won't run off with society, I'll stay and dance a while. One by one we'll go, two by two we'll fly, and you'll catch me on the roadside, gettin high....I'm gonna ride again, gonna try again, don't be afraid to cry, like we used to do, when you we're you, oh you gotta remember , back to the days of splender, we did'nt care about no bender when you we're you.........oh you gotta remember, those sweeeeeeet days of splender, when you we're you, take it home.........
II. Love comes a Callin
There's a band down on the highway,writing words.Always reachin for the sky hey hey,songs to sing,songs to be heard.And I said who am I to stand here and listen,who am I to say that I'm missing, who am I to try to be kissing,on a heart so beautiful.Who am Iż. If I told ya that I loved you, would you stay here with me. Then I think why should you, do I have what you need. Still that bands out on the highway, singing songs from the heart. If you leave me now girl, It'll tear me apart. And I said who am I to stand here and listen, who am I to say that I'm missing, who am I to try to be kissing, on a heart so beautiful. Who am I. Now I'm looking in the mirror, reflections of happiness, cause Ive been shown by the angels, how love can caress. Now I'm shaking from the touch, of emotion and the rush, How your voice sounds so sweet when your talking just to me, said I never felt this way, hope I never hear you say, that I gotta leave your arms, cause I love the way you are.....And I said who am I to stand here and listen, who am I to say that I'm missing, who am I to try to be kissing , on a heart so beautiful. Who am I. I held you once, now i miss your touch, thinking back to the days when I had you standing by my side. See you now, standing there, I was lonely, don't you care, teach me all I need to know,walk me out in the cold. I was feeling so fine, but I know that I lost, everything that I had, said I know that I lost everything that I had. To be listening, oh to be missing, to be kissing, on a heart so beautiful.
When you wake up in the morning, and the light it hits your head. Do you heed into the calling, do you run and hide instead. Maybe I'm a freeman, maybe I believe. Take me by the river and I'll show you what I see. I met me an old man, sitting on the lawn. Told me that the poor hand, It's got a hold, don't let go When you wake up in the morning, and the light it hits your head. Do you heed into the calling, do you run and hide instead. Well I met this old man sitting on the lawn, told me that his spirit, it just got up and it's gone. I cried for a moment, thought for a night. Something must be pulling him, it's got a hold, don't let go. Maybe I'm a freeman, but the way I feel inside, it's something I can't tell you, it's a matter of pride. If I get the chance to tell you, the way I feel, maybe I'll be free then, maybe I'm a freeman, maybe I'm just dreaming. When you wake up in the morning, and the light it hits your head. Do you heed into the calling, do you run and hide instead. When you wake up in the morning. When you wake up in the morning. I said maybe I'm a freeman. Maybe it's just hut two, three, die, just dreaming.
All I see leaves me standing at the backdoor waiting for the limosine. Cast counting calls me yeah, gotta play the part of a man who's never been. Sitting by the window looking for the future, tell me it's not a dream I can do anything that I want. On the first day everythings new and everythings true. And all I create, waking by the Dawn, never to be the same. Cry baby cry. Watch the tears roll down, should've been something there. All that I dream fades like water through my fingers, Christ I said, it just ain't fair. Still I'm sitting by the window looking for the future, tell me it's not a dream and i can do anything that I want. On the first day everythings new and everythings true. And all I create, awaken by the Dawn, never to be the same. On the first day everythings new and everythings true. And all I create, awaken by the Dawn, never to be the same,never to be the same,never to be the same.On the first day everythings new and everythings true. And all I create, awaken by the Dawn, never to be the same. On the first day everythings new and everythings true.On the first day everythings new and everythings true.On the first day everythings new and everythings true. And all I create, awaken by the Dawn, never to be the same.
III. The Kid
Eve of Glory,why don't you answer to my name. I write the stories, but it comes out just the same. It's I've been down and kicked around, I tell you I don't like it much, cause I ain't no fool, I ain't no fool who plays the rule, won't you listen what I say. The world is ours, and I'm a believer. Feel the heat that burns to be a shining star on the eve of glory. I walk in patience cause I know no other way. And the ladies, they don't even know my name. It's I've been down and kicked around, oh they all seem to know it. It's diamond days and foolish ways, won't you listen what I say. The world is ours, and I'm a believer. Feel the heat that burns to be a shining star on the eve of glory. I said the devil knows my name, hey the devil plays my game, and the lady by the river treats me just the same.Oh the devil made my game, and the devil used my name, still the lady by the river treats me just the same. It's I've been down on sacred ground, I talked to god. Said don't you lye, less you wanna die, won't you listen what I say. The world is ours, and I'm a believer. Feel the heat that burns to be a shining star on the eve of glory. Feel the heat that burns to be a.............................................on the eve of glory.
Half my life's spent runnin, the other halve I see, shadows in the darkness, they will not let me be. You can ask me bout my future, you can ask me bout my past, but don't come marchin on my fields, hey steppin on my grass. Round and round the circles go between what I see and what I know, howlin out like wild dogs to keep them satisfied. Cause it's a long way to go to get to memphis. A long way to go baby I don't know. It's a long way to go to get to memphis...maybe I'm better off to let it go. I'm a true believer in dreams that do exist, but bangin on my lovin door don't tantalize my kicks. Move the buttons left to right and get a perfect mix, keep me on my way, if I can keep from gettin sick. Still, round and round the circles go between what I see and what I know, howlin out like wild dogs to keep them satisfied. Cause it's along way to go to get to memphis, it's a long way to go baby I don't know, It's a long way to go to get to memphis. Maybe I'm better off to let it go. A simple man is best to leave the acting to the cast.You can clothe the childs naked soul, but that don't mean he'll last. Water down decision and lighten up the glass, but don't ya know the drink straight up will kick you in the ass.Round and round the circles go,between what I see and what I know,howling out like wild dogs to keep them satisfied.Cause it's a long way to go to get to memphis. It's a long way to go to get to memphis, it's a long way to go to get to memphis,long way to go to get to memphis. If you see me standin there with my back against the wall, won't you put out your hand and I'll tell you, said I'll tell you about livin here so long, Ive got to callin it my home. cause it's a long way to go. It's a long way to go to get to memphis, maybe I'm better off to let it go.

IV. Reality
One man wanders lonely, another paces time, one he sits atop a hill and thinks another crime, but if he looks inside his soul, I'm sorry but he'll find a thousand dreams can pass you by in a seconds time. Livin in a rainstorm, you try not to get wet, but your feet they're gettin heavy it's like walkin in cement. A car goes by, the man inside, his face it rings a bell, but what he's hidin up his sleeve you can never tell. I've got an answer,I'm gonna fly away,get up and fly baby. Cause I have lived but have yet to learn, about fast cars and tables turned, no amount of money is worth payin with your life, you can run but you cannot hide, from the feelings that you have inside,something heavy's in the air, can you feel it now. Something heavy's in the air can you feel it now. Your mind is racin backwards, when the thunder cracks a sound. Then appears a mighty ghost, to tell you of his plans, to master life by false pretense he does not understand. But I've got an answer, I'm gonna fly away, get up and fly baby.Cause I have lived but have yet to learn, about fast cars and tables turned, no amount of money is worth payin with your life, you can run but you cannot hide, from the feelings that you have inside,something heavy's in the air, can you feel it now,can you feel it now,can you feel it now. So these thoughts they're layin heavy on my head, I see a man speak on TV, he turns my eyes much too red. Close those eyes and try to sleep, I hum a different song,does anybody out there really know whats goin on. I've got an answer, I saw it in a dream of mine, faced with disaster, I'm gonna fly away,Cause I have lived but have yet to learn, about fast cars and tables turned, no amount of money is worth payin with your life, you can run but you cannot hide, from the feelings that you have inside,something heavy's in the air, can you feel it now.Cause I have lived but have yet to learn, about fast cars and tables turned, no amount of money is worth payin with your life, you can run but you cannot hide, from the feelings that you have inside,something heavy's in the air, can you feel it now.
