I remember when I was a little girl, our house caught on fire I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up In his arms and raced through the Burning building out on the pavement And I stood there shivering in my pajamas And watched the whole world go up in flames And when it was all over I said to myself Is that all there is to a fire? Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And when I was twelve years old My daddy took me to the circus, the greatest show on Earth There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads And as I sat there watching I had the feeling that something was missing I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself Is that all there is to the circus? Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is And then I fell in love With the most wonderful boy in the world We'd take long walks by the river or Just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes We were so very much in love Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't And when I didn't I said to myself Is that all there is to love? Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep I know what you must be saying to yourselves If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me, I'm not ready for that final disappointment Because I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you That when that final moment comes and I'm Breathing my last breath, I'll be saying to myself Is that all there is, is that all there is? If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is

Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Is that all-?

Julie's sick and tired of her job and all the reasons lately She took it out on God and laid her soul to hell and let the baby die Julie's child was born without a need or a reason for being Took it as a message from a real and a distant life Shirley gets to help her with the child Though she's strung out on crack time Shirley never knew what it was to be held in real love Together getting high to get to mess up their night Anything to get up so they're losing their mind Just to get high, breaking out from this life Gotta get them a drug to get higher Julie gets to walking out and drags the child, says 'come on' How we'll walk in the dark of the morning Car is screaming round the corner, drugged to heaven, Guns are loaded, locked in vengeance Who shoots the child? Watching in the ghetto is the spine and the cruel of the gang life Sign language of the get go you get in the gang life Fear the only law, fear is all we hear about, Feed us in the raw, fear is all we fear about, Listen, get up, quickly get up, get up It's the answer to punishement given you Don't give us reasons, Caught in the crossfire dying God give us reasons, God give a reason, God give a reason Why lay dead a child's life? That talk is just a worry and a worry in a man That life is just a worrying and getting in a mess That deal is just awakening his spirit to be giving him The pleasure of the giving things within This day is of a meeting of the manner to be borne And like a ship you come safely to the shore of love eternal That talk is just a worry and a worry in a man That life is just a worrying and getting in a mess That deal is just awakening his spirit to be giving him The pleasure of the giving things within That word is in it, that talk is in it This day is of a meeting of the manner to be borne And like a ship you come safely to the shore of love eternal That beat is of the wanting of the where you're going That street talk is the basis of the push and shove They never told you that you have the right The spirit of the angel, angels sing "Shaava, shava shava-shaava" They be waiting for you, they be asking for you We depending on you We depending on your healing of the structure centre Until you reach and touch your own redemption They never give you a reason, they never give you a reason They never give you a, give you a, give you a, give you a reason All in all the wisdom call, you shall be young, you shall be free Watching for the signals that come easily Take it as a point of love, a reference place to where you are Every step a step to set you free All for the sake and the calling of light Ask as you give, as you measure in time All in all this will to give, this sacrament, this need to live Take it as a step to bring love easily All in all the wisdom call, you shall be young, you shall be free Waiting for the waiting to be free Talk is the easy end, everyone heard Ask as you seek the clear, ask and you can This play is of a myriad of conscience sitting This day is of a special way of love relating This sight is in it, this way is in it This dream is of the positive to make you wonder How did heaven begin? This time is in it, this thought is in it, this light is in it, When you see, you get it All in all the wisdom call, you shall be young, you shall be free Take it as it comes so easily We'll be there beside the sign, the wherewithal, this will to be, Bringing all the love that's meant to be All in all we shall be young, we shall be free, we shall be there All in all this time is meant to be These days are just a worry to the children of the world These days are just a worry to the children of the world How did heaven begin? How did heaven begin? Don't imagine any way So any fool can take away the drugs and the pressure Asking for the level where a world divides its answers To the gang lords of evil life, they can't show you how Look upon this life as just a picture you are painting There is a reason for this being Look upon this place as just a part of all that is It is a spiritual part of being Live with the power, you can be the strength it is Walk among the living, you can be the strength it is To give, to live, this hope, comes through, It takes the trust to agree this agreement Live for the breaking free Live for the breaking freedom Just let it come through come through

I wanted you for life, you and me in the wind I never thought there'd come a time that our story would end It's hard to understand but I guess I'll have to try It's not easy to say goodbye For all the joy we share, all that time we had to spend Now if I had one wish, I'd want forever back again To look into your eyes and hold you when you cry It's not easy to say goodbye I remember all those great time we had So many memories, some good, some bad Yes and through it all, those memories will last forever There's peace in where you are, maybe all I need to know And if I listen to my heart, I'll hear your laughter once more And so I have to say I'm just glad you came my way It's not easy to say goodbye Goodbye

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen To hear the sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white

And darlin' Is there a cure for this hunger? A terrible curse to be under I'll be sleepin' with that And it's no small thing You'll smoke me out in your own ways And chase me around until mornin' And follow me back And, lovely You're tearin' me down with your cheekbones They're warm, but they hit me like sharp stones When you pull away Now I walk slow I wander the streets in the morning I still smell your scent like a warning When the wind blows Oh, when the wind blows So leave me When you're sleepin' alone in the basement And my parents are home, but I'm vacant And I'm watching the news Because I'm slow now I'm young but I feel like an old man The tar in my lungs and these cold hands They held onto you No, keep me Inside of your mind when you're achin' Lord, 'cause for now, we're mistaken In thinkin' we fit But I'll stay steady But nights are a-blazin' and heavy Alone in my room and I'm ready To rest for a while Oh, to rest for a while Oh, but I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind, honey, I don't mind Oh, but I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind it And I don't mind it I'll wait and I'll listen (I don't mind it) And see through to the kitchen (I don't mind it) I'm not taking it back (I don't mind) Oh, and I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind it I don't mind it I- Oh, honey, I don't mind

I remember way back, late night, throwback Sitting on the front lawn talking when I lost it And oh, I lost it I remember you were saying you would come back, run back Find me on the front porch like that but you waited So I got wasted And I've always said I'd never let myself hold on this long 'Cause people change overnight Things get strange, but I'm alright I'm still here, and I'm still high And I'll still meet you in the middle of the night But if you lie to me, lie to me Lie to me I'm gone I still wonder if I called you, what would I do? Leave a too long voicemail that I hate and then erase it Like I planned it And I wonder if I still lived in the city Would I see you at a party Take a big sip of my whiskey and then leave quickly And pray you missed me And though I still know Exactly how this ends I keep holding on 'Cause people change overnight Things get strange, but I'm alright I'm still here, and I'm still high And I'll still meet you in the middle of the night You know, I'll meet you in the middle of the night But if you lie to me I'm gone Oh, I feel it in me Please forgive me Leave this memory Don't say you miss me I know it's still in me Please forgive me Leave this memory Don't say you miss me 'Cause people change overnight Things get strange, but I'm alright I'm still here, and I must still be high 'Cause I'll still meet you in the middle of the night But if you lie to me, lie to me Change overnight Things get strange, but I'm alright I'm still here, and I must still be high But I'll still meet you in the middle of the night Oh, if you meet me in the middle of the night You know, I'll meet you in the middle of the night But if you lie to me, lie to me Yeah, lie to me I'm gone
