Foreverland

Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh
I took a chance when I asked for love and stamps in my passport
After all I've lost I'm ever insecure
I always fought for attention, bad decisions I never could mention
After all I've said I'm sure I closed some doors
My mother said, after all the tears have flowed away
Meet me at the edge where night meets day
We'll find pieces where we've been, and live off adrenaline
We'll lift off from where we stand, and fly to Foreverland
The time teaches as it's spent, we'll learn something when we can
And if we acknowledge it, we'll welcome Foreverland
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh
I thought I needed some distance, not knowing what I would be missing
After all these years I thought I knew for sure
That I could be young and neglectful, never meant to be disrespectful
And granted, though I fought we lost the cure
My father said, after all the fears have flown away
Meet me at the crossroads, come and pray Looking out across from the open shore
Life a life with open wings and soar
We'll find pieces where we've been, and live off adrenaline
We'll lift off from where we stand, and fly to Foreverland
The time teaches as it's spent, we'll learn something when we can
And if we acknowledge it, we'll welcome Foreverland
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh
We'll find pieces where we've been, and live off adrenaline
We'll lift off from where we stand...
The time teaches as it's spent, we'll learn something when we can
And if we acknowledge it, we'll welcome Foreverland
We'll find pieces where we've been, and live off adrenaline
We'll lift off from where we stand, and fly to Foreverland

I'm getting tired of chasing nothing
I'm running circles drunk and blind
If I died today would you forget me
Or could I hide up in your mind
As I'm falling, will you catch me? (Will you catch me?)
Or will I walk this road alone? (Alone?)
Before I leave, let's sit and be thankful for the memories (For the memories)
I love them more than you could know
The things we take with us, the light in the dark
The fire inside and the beat of my heart
Taken for granted and oh, I won't waste one more day of my life
It's a simple message and I digress
It's been awhile since I've seen the rain (seen the rain, seen the rain)
I think I must have broken some promises again (promises again)
This big blue heart and crystal and puzzle that you made me (hey)
I hope they're buried alongside me to remind me that love is still alive
The things we take with us, the light in the dark
The fire inside and the beat of my heart
Taken for granted and oh, I, oh, oh, I
The things we take with us, the light in the dark
The fire inside and the beat of my heart
Taken for granted and oh, I won't waste one more day of my life
The things we take with us, the light in the dark
The fire inside and the beat of my heart
Taken for granted and oh, I, oh, oh, I
(I'm running circles drunk and blind)
The things we take with us, the light in the dark
(I'm getting tired of chasing nothing)
The fire inside and the beat of my heart
(As I'm falling, will you catch me?)
Taken for granted and oh, I
(It's been awhile)
Won't waste one more day of my life

Soulful
04:33
|
|||
Some only know the places they've grown
Under the weight of stones that they've thrown
Losing their way, frozen alone
Horizons overgrown
Some only sing of birds under wings
Thundering spring above autumn leaves
Breathing unclean, how broken we've been
Awakened from our dream
In that small town we stood, and memorized those woods
We lived for the memories, but not the greater good
We never had a plan, but through the fields we ran
We were so soulful and free
Il m'a promit qu'il entend mes cris
Seul aujourd'hui douleur est fini
Cherchons ensemble, nous trouverons le fond
C'est l'heure, nous arrivons
In that small town we stood, and memorized those woods
We lived for the memories, but not the greater good
We never had a plan, but through the fields we ran
We were so soulful and free
In that small town we stood, and memorized those woods
We lived for the memories, but not the greater good
We never had a plan, but through the fields we ran
We were so soulful and free
Stand up, we're living soulfully
Stand up, we're living soulfully
Stand up, we're living soulfully
Come on, come on, come on, come on, stand up we're living soulfully

Pretend
03:52
|
|||
So this is where it ends
Or is it where we begin
Open your eyes and breathe into your mind
Your ever after's not the same as mine
When we hold onto faith
But don't say goodbye to broken yesterdays
Let it flow
And I will never, oh never pretend that I see us making it to the end
No, I won't even have to try if I feel us making it through the night
I hope you see the better part of me, 'cause I won't let you go
Settle down darlin'
Try to hold it together
Believe me when I say I thought we could be better
But even perfect days aren't meant to last forever
Still we hold onto our ways
As we justify our broken yesterdays
Let it flow, let if flow
And I will never, oh never pretend that I see us making it to the end
No, I won't even have to try if I feel us making it through the night
I hope you see the better part of me, 'cause I won't let you go
I will never, oh never pretend that I see us making it to the end
No, I won't even have to try if I feel us making it through the night
I hope you see the better part of me, 'cause I won't, no I won't
Let you go

On and On
04:41
|
|||
All our roads converge into one, if anything, we're closer to home
I've found my grace, I'm lost in your face, the brightest mind I've ever known
And you may decide to be cruel and unkind, but everyone falls in the end
In love and the arms of a friend
On and on, with your gentle wings
And your carefree dreams
You guide me through the dark
Sing your song, with your loudest screams,
They won't miss a thing
The rhythm of your heart beats on and on
All my walls come falling from stone, if anything, the battle was won
I've found my place through shame and disgrace, the brightest days have just begun
And you may decide that I'm losing my mind, if only I'd fought 'till the end
But beginnings are where we've been sent
On and on, with your gentle wings
And your carefree dreams
You guide me through the dark
Sing your song, with your loudest screams,
They won't miss a thing
The rhythm of your heart beats on and on
On and on, with your gentle wings
And your carefree dreams
You guide me through the dark
Sing your song, with your loudest screams,
They won't miss a thing
The rhythm of your heart beats on and on
On and on, on and on

Endlessly
03:22
|
|||
Follow me if you're running on empty, if you're living in a daydream
If you're feeling brave
Remember me, when moments are fleeting, when tables are turning
When you don't think you can
We will never be apart, no matter who you are
I'll be the one that brightens your day
You're the one who keeps me strong, even when we're moving on
Take my hand, we'll go our own way
Speak to me, I feel you pretending, the wall you're defending
Let's knock it down
Endlessly, it's fallen upon me to see what you can be
Not what you can't
We will never be apart, no matter who you are
I'll be the one that brightens your day
You're the one who keeps me strong, even when we're moving on
Take my hand, we'll go our own way
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
We will never be apart, no matter who you are
I'll be the one that brightens your day
You're the one who keeps me strong, even when we're moving on
Take my hand, we'll go our own way

Last Call
04:37
|
|||
One last call to close us out of body, out of mind
In this absent chorus, find our harmony in lies
But we've still got a world to see
Counting days that haven't been
Finding hope in places we've seen in our dreams
One last fall to form us, Autumn leaves and burning skies
In this lasting dormus, lost in boundary, lost in time
But we've still got a world to see
Counting days that haven't been
Finding hope in places we've seen in our dreams
Falling fast and falling short
Crashing waves against the shore
Finding hope in places we thought we forgot
Have you ever felt a twinge of pain as you sing goodnight?
Have you heard the whisper of the wind with its lullaby?
Sing out when your hope is gone and you're falling through
The light will guide you home, though you're alone
But we've still got a world to see
Counting days that haven't been
Finding hope in places we've seen in our dreams
Falling fast and falling short
Crashing waves against the shore
Finding hope in places we thought we forgot

So Sorry
05:05
|
|||
Life can change with seasons for no reason, and fall out of control
I thought about just leavin' this evenin', but I don't know where I'd go
Now we're running out of time, I'll sing for you one more night
I'm so sorry for wishing I could skip right to the end
And I still worry I'm missing out on happiness again
When I'm lost and so far, you're the light left in the dark
Though it's harder to find, it goes on
When I'm falling apart, you're the way back to the start
When you, please know I'm so sorry tonight
Well maybe I was hopin', unspoken, for a miracle or cure
Promises I broke and, blood-soaked in the pain I can't endure, ever insecure
Always running out of time, but I'll sing for you all my life
I'm so sorry for wishing I could skip right to the end
And I still worry I'm missing out on happiness again
When I'm lost and so far, you're the light left in the dark
Though it's harder to find, it goes on
When I'm falling apart, you're the way back to the start
When you, please know I'm so sorry tonight

War
03:04
|
|||
I didn't have to lie when I said I was fine
Could deny every time I didn't wanna see ya
At the end of my rope, given hope, give a twist and a jive
I don't think I wanna feel ya
Overdone and I'm burned on a roll
And it's taken its toll, and I cannot escape ya
If I'm alone, destitute and I'm cold
Guess I'm just growin' old, getting ready to fold
I'm getting read to fold
You wouldn't understand it, caught between an island stranded
No turning back until we're home
You came, now you're gone
I'm not fond of our song
I belong in a time when you wished I'd always be there
In a pinch, I'ma help you get on 'til the right isn't wrong
And I curse another demon
I don't know if I'm doing this wrong
But you know I'll scream this on and on, and on
You wouldn't understand it, caught between an island stranded
No turning back until we're home
This bridge is far behind
You wouldn't wanna see it, the way you left my ashes bleedin'
No turning back, we're going home
I won't be another waste of time
Woo! That'll break ya
You wouldn't understand it, caught between an island stranded
No turning back until we're home
This bridge is far behind
You wouldn't wanna see it, the way you left my ashes bleedin'
No turning back, we're going home
I won't be another waste of time

Minutes

Afraid of growing older, you're sighing when the day is done
An ancient memory haunts you, your shadow can't escape the sun
Woah, it seems you're far too blind to see
That oh, you found the promise to believe
You told me
One! Love without a reason, burn your inhibitions
Two! Trust your intuition, you'll always find your mission
Three! Live the world around you, it's the one that found you
FOUR! Count the minutes and memories
You know the day you told her she might be your only one
For a chance to hold her, you fought the power 'till you had none
Woah, forever fighting for our needs
Woah, you showed me victory in a dream
You told me
One! Love without a reason, burn your inhibitions
Two! Trust your intuition, you'll always find your mission
Three! Live the world around you, it's the one that found you
FOUR! Count the minutes and memories
Oh… Oh… Oh… Oh…
Ah… Ah… Ah… Ah…
Ah-ooo…
We'll find pieces where we've been and live off adrenaline
We'll lift off from where we stand and fly to Foreverland
The time teaches as it's spent, we'll learn something when we can
And if we acknowledge it, we'll welcome Foreverland

Midnight

The night isn't far behind as we both know, it blocks the road
We live in a world of flame and poison snow, sinking boat we row
The end is the path we've walked since winter's eve, product of your dreams
I'll wait 'till you break down, come crawl back to me, your last disease
The siege has begun as angels fall to me, the dragon breathes
We wake and we rise to cleanse the Earth with hate, instability
You stand as the world's last hope, the angel sent, the heavens bent
Now burn, resurrect your darkest thoughts of hurt and be submerged
Ooo, ah ah, ooo, ah ah
Oh, ah ah, ooo, ah ah
Ooo, ah ah, oo, ah ah
Ooo, ah ah, oo oh
Ooo, ah ah, ooo, ah ah
Oh, ah ah, ooo, ah ah
Ooo, ah ah, oo, ah ah
Ooo, ah ah, oo oh
Something is happening in our world - a threat.
The corrupt, the cheats and the deceivers.
One hundred years of delay have passed - the masses of people are rising up, since President Lincoln freed the slaves.
They are not yet free from the bonds of injustice, and they were ready and waiting to attack anyone who questioned the lies
"Dear Mr. Lennon, I believe there will be an attempt to assassinate you"
Despite all their censorship, despite all their intimidation, despite all their attacks, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defence establishment.
Propaganda, communication and intimidation…
Despite all their lies trying to divide us, we must guard against the acquisition of unwanted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex.
The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
But there's an abundant universe, and that abundant universe is with us.
You can conquer hate by ignoring it. You can destroy it by loving the person next to you.
This generation of Americans has already had enough, more than enough, of war, hate and oppression.
The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city.
We should take nothing for granted. Celebrating life may prosper together.
This is an us for humanity story, we don't care what you look like.
It's not enough to believe in something - we don't care what you believe in - you have to be willing to stand for something if you want this to change.
Are you ready for this to change? We don't care where you come from.
Whether they are in Johannesburg, South Africa; Canada; Brazil; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee -- the cry is always the same: "We want to be free.". Nothing will ever change that.
Only by sharing the truth will we win this war.
Ooo, ah ah…

Legacy

I don't know what it means, the distant melody
Calling out to me to live your legacy
And far out as it seems, sing across the sea
And surely as you breathe, you'll leave a legacy
