For my country
From "A place to call home" album

Like a vision
That I keep inside
A memory locked away
No borderlines
No enemies
No religion to betray

I have felt the change
And it hurts me too
That no distance can deny

This is for my country
Still battered and still bruised
I?ve come to offer all I can
I will fight for you
I will fight for you

You climb a hill
Yet you fall down the mountain
When the truth is hard to face
And I envy you
So proud and strong
Still your people you embrace

And I am part of that
What you?ve given me
I have come to give it back

This is for my country
The spirit of my song
I?ve seen you suffler long enough
And it?s where I belong

It?s where I belong
I will keep my word
I will retrify
With all that I am worth

This is for my country
Forever I am bound
With every bit of strength I hold
I?d never let you down
I?d never let you down

It?s where I belong

joey tempest "the one in the glass"

When you get what you want In the struggle for you
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
See what that person has to say

Now some people call you a straight shooting man
They think you?re a wonderful guy
But the one in the glass says you?re only a fool
If you won?t look him straight in the eye

For it isn?t your lover, your father or mother
Whose judgement upon you must pass
No, the verdict that counts the most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass

Now the one you should please never mind all the rest
Who is with you clear to the end
And you?ve passed the most dangerous difficult test
If the one in the glass can be your friend

You can fool the whole world down the pathways of years
Get a pat on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you cheat on the one in the glass

For it isn?t your lover, your father or mother
Whose judgement upon you must pass
No, the verdict that counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass

a place to call home

I was out the front door like nothing was lost
wanted my freedom no matter what the cost
It made no difference what anyone said
I didn't follow my heart I followed my head

well a man is an island but the water is deep
and the shore on the other side is ragged and steep
well I built my castle for just one man
without the love of a woman it's made out of sand

the tower of strength with no one around
to pick me up when it all came down
well I should have known
we all need a place to call home o
h yeah, uh huh

well you travel the highways and you travel the world
when there ain't much left you haven't seen or heard
to look for perfection is a lonely old ride
it takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride

and then one day when you really care
she touches your soul but you're far too scared
well I should have known
we all need a place to call home
oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah

I'm trying everyday to find out more about myself
learning how to love now I need it from somebody else
Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers come spare me some time
come tell me the reason come tell me the rhyme
when you look for independence and you get what you want
how come you look back thinking what have I done?
but time and again it dawns on me
it's the price we pay for liberty
well I should have known
we all need a place to call home oh yeah, home
God I miss you tonight
we all need a place to call home oh yeah

always a friend of mine

I see a boy down on the corner he has nothing to his name
I see the dreams that we can follow and die for just the same
and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times
if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine

then you step out in the big world take the chances that you can
I see the sweat I see the tears yes, brotherhood of man
and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times
if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine

then you learned about your people (then you learned about your people)
some are weak and some are strong
some might stand up for you do anything for you
others might do you wrong

and I have someone I believe in through hard and troubled times
if I ever loose my way yeah you're always a friend of mine
yes you are

how I used to long for happiness whatever it would take
how I'd die for that old true love make no mistake
how I used to think all that glittered was gold and all of that was mine
now all I have is this moment hoping it's never gonna pass me by
pass me by

now did you find as you went searching all that you were looking for
and has time began to heal you well I got I got more than I bargained for
and I see someone I believe in through hard and troubled times
if I ever loose my way yeah your always a friend of mine
oh yes you are
if I ever loose my way your always a friend of mine
friend of mine

always on the run

It?s the way we live and it?s killing me
and the silence here is deafening
everything is just a lie until you tell the truth
there?s got to be another day

we were always on the run
I was always leaving you, you leaving me
now you never cross my mind
sometimes

I just know the rain won?t change a thing
I?m already lost to sugar and caffeine
it?s these days in between I never understand
there?s got to be another day

we were always on the run
I was always leaving you, you leaving me
now you never cross my mind
sometimes

it?s the way we live and it?s killing me
and the silence here is deafening

don't change

every now and then
you find someone
who?ll stand out in a crowd
who?ll soar high above the rest
ask you to come along
for a while

I get high so alive
the way you throw your love around
cause I know what's keeping me sane
is knowing you, knowing you
are mad to

every now and then
you lose the one
who stood out in a crowd
who soared high above the rest
asked you to come along
for a while

I get high so alive
the way you throw your love around
cause I know what's keeping me sane
is knowing you, knowing you
are mad to

and your twisted point of view
always seem to set me straight
how your mind is somewhere else
and your heart still in its place

don't go changin' on me

If you really want to love me
Then love who I am
But i you only want to change me, now baby
I?m not your man
I might not be an angel
Hey, we are what we are

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don?t go changin? on me

I was looking for a lover
When I found something true
I figured one day or another I?d get lucky
Meet someone like you
Now I don?t wanna lose you
?Cause we think diferently

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don?t go changin? on me

I know I might not be a hero
And say things you want me to
If you look for semoone perfect
I?m afraid I just won?t do
But if we?re meant to share this future
Come happiness or pain
If we?re meant to help each other
Thank got we?re not the same

So if you really want to love me
Then love who I am
But if you only want to change me, now baby
I?m not your man
I might not be an angel
Hey, we are what we are

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don?t go changin? on me

Set love free, not how you want it to be
Don?t go changin? on me

dreamless

all good people giving out
all these feelings with no doubt
I've been running down this avenue
with a monkey stuck on my back
thinking I'm giving out what I should have
and I'm never looking back

she says hey hey it's about time
she says hey hey you can do what you like
but don't leave me dreamless
don't leave me dreamless

all good people dreaming hard
carry all that matters in their hearts
I've been running down this avenue
with a monkey stuck on my back
thinking I'm giving out what I should have
and I'm never looking back

she says hey hey it's about time
she says hey hey you can do what you like
but don't leave me dreamless
don't leave me dreamless

hey catch the rhyme
can't stand rocking sitting down
through this mike down the wire
the amplifier

elsewhere

There's a place that I'd like to reach
I have tried, and tried, and tried, and tried
to the secret places that you keep
I am repeatedley denied
oh, won't you let me in
I'm on your side

do you still love me
do you honestley care
cause I am still with you
but you are elsewhere
yes you are elsewhere

There's a voice that I'd like to hear
words of a poet that I used to know
now your eyes they keep starin into nowhere
if I knew what was hurting you so
oh won't you take me there
dark places you hide

do you still love me
do you honestley care
cause I am still with you but you are elsewhere
yes you are elsewhere

oh won't you let me in
I'm on your side

do you still love me
do you honestley care
cause I am still with you
but you are elsewhere
do you still love me (do you still love me)
do you honestley care
cause I am still with you (I am still with you)
but you are elsewhere
yes you are elsewhere
you are elsewhere

every universe

the world is big and round
there's a sky above it
and when I let you down I feel like nothing
our universe is deep when everything is sweet
don't you just love it

the day precedes the night
it just gets better
unlike this life of mine it lasts forever
our universe is void when you seam annoyed
you?re hard to measure

from here my seat on this plane
I see where you live and I'm coming home
so I, I am the first to witness your love
your every universe

I love the way you stare into the distance
if there's no one there nobody listens
our universe is here as I face my fear of indecision

from here my seat on this plane
I see where you live and I am coming home
so I, I am the first to witness your love
your every universe
your every universe
