Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hand
Across the land through fields of joy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
The fields of joy
Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I know our love will never die
Just you and I
Through fields of joy
Through fields of joy

Always On The Run
my mama said
that your life is a gift
and my mama said
there's much weight you will lift
and my mama said
leave those bad boys alone
and my mama said
be home before the dawn
and my mama said
you can be rich or poor
but my mama said
you can be big or small
but i'm always on the run
my mama said
that it's good to be truthful
but my mama said
don't take more than a mouthful
and my mama said
that it's good to be natural
and my mama said
that it's good to be factual
but i'm always on the run
my mama said
baby don't ride that crazy horse
and my mama said
you must push with much force
and my mama said
go get all that your after
and my mama said
that love's all that matters
but i'm always on the run
that your life is a gift
and my mama said
there's much weight you will lift
and my mama said
leave those bad boys alone
and my mama said
be home before the dawn
and my mama said
you can be rich or poor
but my mama said
you can be big or small
but i'm always on the run
my mama said
that it's good to be truthful
but my mama said
don't take more than a mouthful
and my mama said

and my mama said

and my mama said
that love's all that matters
but i'm always on the run

Stand By My Woman
There were times I wasn't kind
And there were times I wasn't even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say goodbye
When you want to talk
I'm on the phone
But now baby, yeah, I am here for you alone
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home
There were times I didn't understand
And there were times I wouldn't hold your hand
But baby now I'm here for you
'Cause baby, yeah, I am so in love with you
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
I'm gonna stand by my woman now
'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home, yeah

It Aint Over Til Its Over
Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby It ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeah
If I'd always, always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby It ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive

The Difference Is Why
I'm just a human
I never said I was God
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we start?
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?
The difference is why, the difference is why
You say you can't trust me
Have you tried?
You say you don't love me
That's a lie
There are so many so many rainbows
That we were to climb
But baby baby why can't we survive?
We've got to get our heads untangled
And free our state of mind
The difference is why,
Hey yeah, hou!, the difference is why
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?
The difference is why
Yeah ! , the difference is why
Does this have to mean goodbye?
I never said I was God
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we start?
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?
The difference is why, the difference is why
You say you can't trust me
Have you tried?
You say you don't love me
That's a lie
There are so many so many rainbows
That we were to climb
But baby baby why can't we survive?
We've got to get our heads untangled
And free our state of mind
The difference is why,
Hey yeah, hou!, the difference is why
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?
The difference is why
Yeah ! , the difference is why
Does this have to mean goodbye?

Fields of Joy (Reprise)
Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly, slowly through the fields
And touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly, slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hands
Across the land through fields of joy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
The fields of joy
Let's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly, slowly through the fields
I know our love will never die
Just you and I through fields of joy
Through fields of joy
Through fields of joy
Through fields of joy
Slowly, slowly through the fields
And touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly, slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hands
Across the land through fields of joy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you

With you through the fields
With you through the fields

We both are hurting
And It's gonna take a little time

When The Morning Turns To Night
Little girl with heroin so blue
You've got to find the future in you
Your scepters and needles will put you away
Forever and a day
Your future will haunt you before you get there
Imagine a planet with no air
All mute no light no sun only night
As far away as neverland
As the sky comes tumbling down to the head
And the valleys are all filled up with dirt
As many people as there are sands in the sea
Will die the morning after
Yeah
So little girl with heroin so blue
I guess our future is all up to you
Through the battle sequence you must fight
'Til the morning turns to night
So imagine our world with no air
Just follow the son, He'll take you where
The night and the seas are all full of light
'Til the morning turns to night
'Til the morning, yeah, turns to night
You've got to find the future in you
Your scepters and needles will put you away
Forever and a day
Your future will haunt you before you get there

What the Fuck Are We Saying?
Will we ever understand?
Or is the fate of man at hands?
Will we live or shall we die?
How will we ever know if we never try?
The government's the devil's hands
It's a lie and it's a scam
They wind us up, put us down, and watch us go
And if you close your eyes
There's a big surprise
What the f*** are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light
I've been lost in the name of love
And we kill our brothers daily in the name of God
We'd better chill before we take on some tribulation
And if we realized
Then we'd make a little love now sing
What the f*** are we saying?
Do we believe what we read about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light
And one day we'll see the light
And one day we'll see the light
And one day we'll see the light
What the f*** are we saying?
Do we believe what we dream about?
We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light
And one day we'll see the light
And one day we'll see the light

Butterfly
You are the most beautiful thing
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so
Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know ?
Your mind's full of everything
That I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly
I've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so
Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know ?
Your mind's full of everything
That I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you so
You're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly
