Something broke the place where the rain is bornb Something stole the promise from the light of dawn People, people were everywhere struggling to get their share Honest cruelty in the eyes of the innocent Squeezing one more harvest from this tired earth They call to you, but the wind just blows away their words Didn't believe in miracles, didn't believe you'd come Didn't see any reason to carry on But in my african dream, you touched my face Raised up my children and gave them grace In my african dream you wiped away my tears And whispered the promise of a thousand years Children with eyes like souls ready to fly Looking at me -- for some kind of sacred sign Who will teach the young, the names of the ancient ones Who will tell them from whence they come I have no answer, don't even have a prayer All I can do is close my eyes and hope that you will be thre In my african dream you blessed the rain Let me stand proud, eased the pain, You raised me up, Gave me love, filled my cup. Old man sits in the shade of the thorn treee He says "these thorns are all that are true Life is suffering, suffering is life, Be happy with the small things that come to you They will come to you, come to you."

Just take a break, I'm feeling broken Too late for words unspoken Don't show up early morning I can't forget you, erase you I'm running out of time To replace you or chase you Ignoring all the signs 'Cause I see you, I need you To ruin my life Even if I go blind tonight You're still stuck in my mind Took the framing off the wall but kept the pictures inside Go and leave me for dead Then come and bring me to life An eye for an eye leaves the both us Blind Too late to get some distance Your touch is too persistent You love with blurry vision Even if I go blind tonight You're still stuck in my mind Took the framing off the wall but kept the pictures inside (Oh-oh) Go and leave me for dead Then come and bring me to life An eye for an eye leaves the both us Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Leaves the both of us) No-no-no (Leaves the both of us blind) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Leaves the both of us) No-no-no (Leaves the both of us blind) I can't forget you, erase you I'm running out of time To replace you or chase you Ignoring all the signs 'Cause I see you, I need you To ruin my life Even if I go blind tonight You're still stuck in my mind Took the framing off the wall but kept the pictures inside Go and leave me for dead Then come and bring me to life An eye for an eye leaves the both us Blind Tonight, you're still stuck in my mind Took the framing off the wall but kept the pictures inside Go and leave me for dead Then come and bring me to life An eye for an eye leaves the both us Blind

I am a simple man I learned to work with my hands Out here on these waves Sha la la la la! I guess I've always known That I would die alone here One cold november day Sha la la la la! I heard that you did take A brother in the mornin' Another without warnin' Sha la la la la! And who am I to think That I'd be any different As God is my witness, I saw Davey Jones Underneath the water With a thousand of my fathers Calling me home. Yeah. I saw Davey Jones Waving his black flag Counting up his bones. They say when I was five The day I cast my first line I fell over the port side Sha la la la la! And as I was sinking down I heard my mother singin' I heard the church bells ringin' Sha la la la la! And when they pulled me in I felt him tuggin my hand; I saw Davey Jones Underneath the water With a thousand of my fathers Calling me home... yeah. I saw Davey Jones Waving his black flag Counting up his bones. Now the waves have snapped the mast I'm takin' water so fast I let go of the lines; And I can feel my father's stare From beyond the grave somewhere As I fail him one last time; 'Cuz I would never be The man he thought I should be The lesser of his sons. So Jesus help me now Help me to forgive him Before the darkness floods in. I saw Davey Jones Underneath the water With a thousand of my fathers Calling me home. Yeah, an' I saw Davey Jones Waving his black flag Counting up his bones. Yeah, an' I saw Davey Jones Wavin' his black flag Counting up his bones.

I could be at a red light You grab my hand and hold it tight You look at me and suddenly There's one or two more butterflies You're sippin' on a cherry coke Barely getting through the joke That you've told me 10 times this week But somehow it ain't gettin' old I say it and I mean it At least I think I do It has a different meaning Every time that you Steal another kiss Off my lips I love you and then somehow I love you more Spinnin' you around the kitchen floor Lookin' in your eyes it hits me out of the blue I love you and then some nights you say it back And my heart starts beating twice as fast Darlin' right when I think I can't keep fallin', I do I love you and then some (And then some, and then some) I love you and then some (And then some, and then some) When your hair's a perfect mess And you wear my hoodie like a dress When I swear it can't Happen again It happens again I love you and then somehow I love you more Spinnin' you around the kitchen floor (Kitchen floor) Lookin' in your eyes it hits me out of the blue (Out) I love you and then some nights you say it back (Say it back) And my heart starts beating twice as fast Darlin' right when I think I can't keep fallin', I do (Oh-oh) I love you and then some (And then some, and then some) (I love you) I love you and then some (And then some, and then some) I love you and then sometimes It all multiplies just like 2 When you hand's in mine Cause then somehow I love you more Spinnin' you around the kitchen floor Lookin' in your eyes it hits me out of the blue I love you and then some nights you say it back (Say it back) And my heart starts beating twice as fast (Twice as fast) Darlin' right when I think I can't keep fallin', I do I love you and then some (And then some, and then some) (Oooh) (I love you) I love you and then some (And then some, and then some) (I love you, I love you) (I love you) I love you and then some
