Somebody said, they don’t like the way I’m walking Got into my head, feeling it, ‘cause I’m too proud But look, wait a minute, there’s something I’ve gotta say Look in the mirror, it’s I-to-I, say I can find a better way You tell me to wait forever ‘Cause true love’s all that you know And all that you make’s so clever Telling me there’s nowhere to go I’m not gonna spend anymore time Tryin’ to make you see I’m telling you, baby, it’s now or never Gonna get down to lovin’ me Somebody said, they don’t like the way I’m talkin’ I’m outta my head, so tell me, ‘cause I ain’t too proud To ask, is there something about me I gotta break? Is this the time for just one more dance, or else, a chance I gotta take? You tell me to wait forever ‘Cause true love’s all that you know And all that you make’s so clever Telling me there’s nowhere to go I’m not gonna spend anymore time Tryin’ to make you see I’m telling you, baby, it’s now or never Gonna get down to lovin’ me I never asked for you but You never asked for me to go and Change the way I am Changing day by Day, what’s that you say...? You tell me to wait forever ‘Cause true love’s all that you know And all that you make’s so clever Telling me there’s nowhere to go I’m not gonna spend anymore time Tryin’ to make you see I’m telling you, baby, it’s now or never Gonna get down to lovin’ me Baby, it’s now or never Gonna get down to lovin’ me

Can’t see summer Moon is in the way Tired of waiting But it’s me who chose to stay So why don’t you come ‘round? Why don’t you come down to me? You’re no angel Content to play it cool Still I’m stymied Inventing all the rules So why don’t you come ‘round? Why don’t you come down to me, yeah... So, what about me? What about you and all you know? What about we? So lost so far below As the seasons come and go Through with playing You know I love the game Win or lose it No, I will not stay the same So why don’t you come ‘round? Why don’t you come down to me, yeah... So, what about me? What about you and all you know? What about we? So lost so far below As the seasons come and... The seasons come and go Ooh, the seasons come and go Seasons come and go So, what about we? What about you? What about me? So, what about me? What about you and all you know? What about we? So lost so far below ‘Cause it’s not this time, I know As the seasons come and go

Take a step back from the edge It doesn’t matter, you can hold my hand I feel it too, there’s an energy Inside of you, we’ll give it space to grow Did you know you’re my beautiful adventure? Face the day, find your way to shine When you go, my beautiful adventure You’ll light the way, I’m right behind Over the water we fly Ever astounding when you’re in my arms I’ll say it now, you’re incredible I don’t care how, gonna give you space to grow

Come on in and drink my wine Come on in and play your game Ten years of run and hide and you’re still the same Take a look inside my soul Take another piece of me Feels bad, but I’m still glad for the company These games we play I never found the time Ever more than I’m today We carry on ‘Til we can lay it down and, oh The story can move along Make a joke at my expense Make a claim to be so wise, still Know we can’t play our fear through another’s eyes Tell me what I ought to know Tell me what I ought to do And I’ll throw it down my wishing well, wishing well for you These games we play I never found the time Ever more than I’m today We carry on ‘Til we can lay it down and, oh The story can move along I said another wave passes We’ve got to show what we can do Time is running over 
 With the weight of all the world on you... Nothing more that I can say Nothing more that I can give Can’t find a way to say it’s ok to live Shake a hand and make your peace Shake a tail and make your way And I’m gonna keep your silence safe for another day These games we play I never found the time Ever more than I’m today We carry on ‘Til we can lay it down and, oh The story can move along

say our summer days have ended say it’s time to move along summer, like something, always seems to come around i can see the way the leaves are comin’ down say i might still be a stranger say i bring a winter’s song but summer, like something, always seems to come around i can see the way the leaves are comin’ down show me a season show me a name you know inside we’re all the same say it’s dark beneath the madness and this old world don’t give a damn but i know a way to make a smile out of a frown i can see the way the leaves are comin’ down... comin’ down... comin’ down... say we walk this road together say you’ll take me as i am lend me your hand now, take you to the edge of town we can see the way the leaves are comin’ down and summer, like something, always seems to come around i can see the way the leaves are comin’ down

don’t give me no box to put me in don’t care if you think that it’s a sin i want a world to call my own you tell me my song gone bring you down know it ain’t mine what made you frown I want a world to call my own and if I shine a ray of sunshine on it doesn’t take a lot to let it be set a kindly gaze upon it and we’ll be fine now never too late for letting go of all of that, wait, i know you know we all want a world to call our own <vocal interlude> </vocal interlude> and if we shine a ray of sunshine on it doesn’t take a lot to let it be set a kindly gaze upon it and you’ll be fine now give me no box to put me in don’t care if you think that it’s a sin I want a world to call my own...

Another wave passes Still I smile That’s one going over Gonna wait a while Never need to be the fastest Take one more day to another life ‘Cause I give you time Say some have, say some have not Gotta make make do with what you got The new man comes, listen what he say Gotta back back down, gotta do it the same old way Another wave passes Still I smile That’s one going over Gonna wait a while Never need to be the fastest Take one more day to another life ‘Cause I give you time Gonna set my sail to the seventh sea Gonna find out what was gonna be right for me ‘Cause I ain’t gonna cry when the fat man sings Givin’ me ‘ole holy mama, but be sayin’ the same old things Another wave passes Still I smile That’s one going over Gonna wait a while Never need to be the fastest Take one more day to another life ‘Cause I give you time Give you time, give you time, give you time Give you time, give you time, give you time... Someday I may have, someday I may have not Gonna give my thanks for every little thing I got Will I walk alone? Walk night and day Gonna find that road, gonna do it my own way Another wave passes Still I smile That’s one going over Gonna wait a while Never need to be the fastest Take one more day to another life ‘Cause I give you time Give you time, give you time, give you time Give you time, give you time, give you time...

The road, roadblocks ahead And the whisper is saying turn back All I can see is the rain And the world, took out its anger on me But before I fall It's you I call Oh love, curse you with all of your truth 'Cause I knew you were there But all I can see is the pain And the world, said that I should be ashamed Of those tears I cried But still you tried, to Light up these eyes All I can say is you show me the wonder inside Your words, etched on my soul Like the songs I would sing as a boy When all that I knew was the blame I believed, you'd bring me up to cut me down So I pushed away Now I wish you'd stay, and Light up these eyes (So I can see) Light up these eyes (What you mean to me) Light up these eyes All I can say is you show me the wonder inside There's a world that I know Ever since knowing you Gotta get you back in my arms Gotta do what I can Let me Light up these eyes All I can say is you show me the wonder inside Light up these eyes (So I can see) Light up these eyes (What you mean to me) Light up these eyes All I can say is you show me the wonder inside

didn’t hear a word that she said clearing out the fires in her head gotta mind to forgive this ‘cause I’d be blind to the signs for her show and the world that i know used to be something to gain hanging on the ends of complain but the bangin’ in my head says there’s a new way, and i’ve yet to see that it’s waiting for me ‘cause we’ve come a long way and the way that you held me before (s’)not gonna work anymore saying i’m a-leavin’ ‘cause i believe in the writing on the wall say we can have it all (y’)know i gotta tell you no lie got a lot to lose with goodbye they(’ll) be givin’ me a rainbow i gotta live through the pain though, they say i'm-a find a new way (so) show me all the somethings i’ve missed puppy love and the ocean, sun-kissed not a moment expected it’s a new day, accept it, and go and the world’s gonna know that we’ve come a long way and the way that you held me before (s’)not gonna work anymore saying i’m a-leavin’ ‘cause i believe in the writing on the wall say we can have it all and the world that i know is the world i’ll let go ‘cause we’ve come a long way and the way that you held me before (s’)not gonna work anymore saying i’m a-leavin’ ‘cause i believe in the writing on the wall say we can have it all

there is a light inside of me there is a hollow that must fall away there is a might inside of me and to find it, I must follow there is a must inside of me and now a wish to live beyond the fray there is a trust of inside but to find it, I must follow do I follow where she goes? find a new way to listen (listen) do I know the way he knows? or step aside and let it grow Ananda and when the shadows fade away I will forever trust the joy within but there are shadows still today and behind them, still I follow do I follow where she goes? find a new way to listen (listen) do I know the way he knows? or step aside and let it grow Ananda do I follow where she goes? find a new way to listen (listen) do I know the way he knows? or step aside and let it grow Ananda

I’ve lived more life than this one heart can remember I’ve seen a lotta “world-can-do” When you’re so outta light your own lovin’ soul can deceive you Don’t you ever hide, she’ll be by your side, to shine her light on you Baby, I’m bound to find my way out Now I got nowhere left to roam ading my way through muddy waters, oh Baby, I’ll find my way back home So say it don’t matter, ‘cause there ain’t no one can save you When it all brings you to your knees So let the sun shine down, but you gotta let it in though Don’t you ever hide, she’ll be by your side, by your side, and now Baby, I’m bound to find my way out Now I got nowhere left to roam Wading my way through muddy waters, oh Baby, I’ll find my way back home Wading my way through muddy waters, oh Baby, I’ll find my way back Baby, I’ll find my way back home
