Step one, I did it for fun It was a simple way to start Lights out, what's it all about? I only got one cheek to turn Some do it for the summit la cumbre, Some do it for the climb Some people know when to settle down I can't help but wonder what's on the other side I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Step two led to step three Led to my heading home in a rush Some kid won't admit what he did Just say, "Hey Hail Mary, can't forgive and forget about it" Some say they know it when they see it While others follow it blind Some science appliances made it all calculated It's just a chemical imbalance in the weaker mind I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh I know something you don't know I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey I'm not ever gonna give it away I said, Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh I know something you don't know I said, Hey hey hey hu-hu-hey hey I'm not ever gonna give it away Step one, I did it for fun It was a simple way to start Some doors don't close anymore once you have opened up your heart Some people gotta sell it 'Cause some people want to pay Some people like to stand on a steeple and tell me, "This is not the way, it's the wrong way!" I want love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me Love love love love love Love love love love love Love love love love love All around me All around me

Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong wait and see Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Who said that every wish would be heard And answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that And someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing? And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Are these the sweet sounds that call the young sailors? I think they're one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me

Listen to the people crying Hoping for the day they'll be free I don't have to tell you we're (they're) dieing Just wake up, take a look, what do You see? I see young men my own age in coffins And mothers in tears for their sons* And sweethearts and wives Alone with their memories And golden ribbon's those fortunes of war Thousands and thousands Shall gather together To seek and find the Way we all need And the son will bring (backhanded glory) us together Hallelujah And rid ourselves of the pain we all see We see young men our own age in coffins And Mothers in tears for their sons And Sweetheart's and wives Alone with their memories And golden ribbon's those fortunes of war What does it to avail a man To gain fortune And lose his soul?

I was sitting at a table on an open bay Waiting for drink of rum When I asked my waiter for the time of day She said, "Look out there's a centipede coming your way" In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I was lying by the water in the morning sun Shaded by a coconut tree When I turned around it was all I could see There was great big centipede staring at me In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I had only just a second to decide what to do While looking at his poisonous fangs When I said I thought it was a beautiful day He said, "Wow Mr. Hall, I think you're pushing my leg" In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet
