My what a sight you are,
You look like you've come apart,
You move and the walls come down,
Now you're lost between the walls and the ground?
You try to face me,
But you could not face your own pain.
Calling you on,
Calling you out,
Calling you gone.
You clean yourself up very well,
So that it's hard to tell,
A bomb went off in your Soul,
Now you can't even fill up the hole.
You turn to face me,
But you could not face your own pain.
Calling you on,
Calling you out,
Calling you gone.
Pain!
Calling you on,
Calling you out,
Calling you gone.
Pain,
Calling you on,
Calling you out,
Calling gone.
You try to face me?
But you could not face your own pain.
Calling you on,
Calling you out,
Calling you gone.
Pain,
Calling you on,
Calling you out,
Calling you gone.
hopefully this will open some of your eyes and minds to new music by ONLY being able to read the lyrics...

Gain
written by John Williams
Here I am again,
I'm gonna cure the Common Cold,
End World Hunger and get my movie sold.
I'm gonna teach the world to sing,
And give them all a hand,
Gonna solve their problems and gonna take a stand.
Look around,
Come back down,
Try to re-arrange it all again.
Can you hold your own nails to the sow?
You got it and you don't know what it is?
What'd you gain?
Time after time,
It's the same old wrong,
You change and you change,
It's the same old song.
I'm bothered by the fact,
You cannot take it back,
It goes on record and mutliplies at that.
I gotta break it down to it's smallest part,
Put it back together and call it Art.
I look around,
Come back down,
And try to re-arrange it once again.
Can you hold your own nails to the sow?
You got it and you don't know what it is?
What'd you gain?
Time after time,
It's the same old wrong,
You change and you change,
It's the same old song.
What'd you gain?
Time after time,
It's the same old wrong,
You change and you change,
It's the same old song.
What'd you gain?

It's the same old song.

You change and you change,
It's the same old song.
Time after time,
It's the same old wrong,
You change and you change...
You change and you change,
You change and you change,
You change and you change,
You change and you change.
You change and you change,
But what'd you gain?

Wrong
written by John Williams
So now you know?
I spilled my guts and spoiled the show,
Thought I'd stirr up quite a mess,
But cleaning up just causes even more stress.
Did the only thing I knew to do,
But having "Faith" in something,
Does not make it true!
But I'm forced to force along,
I knew I had it wrong,
Was too proud to let it go,
But I knew I had it wrong.
I forget who,
When and what it was,
That made me change my tune.
Did the only thing I knew to do,
But having "Faith" in something,
Does not make it true!
But I'm forced to force along,
I knew I had it wrong,
Was too proud to let it go,
But I knew I had it wrong.
Wasted peices of their lives,
From their own lives,
Stretching inches into miles and miles,
Into my own mile,
I pulled the blanket from my eyes,
From my own eyes,
Cut rope and freed the lies.
But I'm forced to force along,
But I knew I had it wrong,
Was too proud to let it go,
But I knew I had it wrong.
I'm forced to force along,
But I knew I had it wrong,
Was too proud to let it go,
But I knew I had it wrong.
But I'm forced to force along,
And I knew I had it wrong!
So now you know?
I spilled my guts and spoiled the show,
Thought I'd stirr up quite a mess,
But cleaning up just causes even more stress.
Did the only thing I knew to do,
But having "Faith" in something,

And I knew I had it wrong!
The Blue Sky
written by John Williams
I find it hard to breathe as life just eats away,
And the faces that surround me,
They look tired today,
The Lady at my table doesn't want me here,
I just want to talk to her.
But would she laugh at my accent and make fun of me?
It doesn't seem like this blue sky's here for me.
There are no girls in here as far as I can see,
Only pin-up posters looking down at me,
Watching papercups of coffee growing cold before my eyes,
All these things I see they make me realize.
I'm in the big world without you,
Nothing to my name!
I never knew that blue sky meant such pain.
I'm dying to be different in the Coffee Shop,
I've lived on borrowed strength but my supplies are cut,
Although I'm older than my looks and older than my years,
I'm too young to take on my deepest fears.
I used to be confused but now I just don't know,
Since you left I've been watching blue skies come and go.
And since you left I've been watching blue skies come and go.
I find it hard to breathe as life just eats away,
And the faces that surround me,
They look tired today,
The Lady at my table doesn't want me here,
I just want to talk to her.
But would she laugh at my accent and make fun of me?
It doesn't seem like this blue sky's here for me.
There are no girls in here as far as I can see,
Only pin-up posters looking down at me,
Watching papercups of coffee growing cold before my eyes,
All these things I see they make me realize.
I'm in the big world without you,
Nothing to my name!
I never knew that blue sky meant such pain.
I'm dying to be different in the Coffee Shop,
I've lived on borrowed strength but my supplies are cut,
Although I'm older than my looks and older than my years,
I'm too young to take on my deepest fears.
I used to be confused but now I just don't know,
Since you left I've been watching blue skies come and go.
And since you left I've been watching blue skies come and go.
Where Does Love Go When It Dies
written by John Williams
Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God?
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost?
Could you ever take a life when all was lost?
And would it ever be enough?
Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more?
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds then spit it on the floor?
Could you open up your heart and then close the door?
Or would it ever be enough?
Every word you whisper,
All the tears you hide,
You die for love when it's alive,
But where does love go when it dies?
If you came across your dream would you walk on by?
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die?
And is there inside your mind for one more try?
But would it ever be enough?
I watch the time go rushing by,
It's like an Ocean Wave,
Showing you no mercy,
Throwing dirt upon your grave.
You're drowning in the darkness,
And you're blinded by the light,
And there ain't no prayer,
That's gonna save you now!
If you woke up from your sleep with blood on your hands,
Would you wash the pain away that no one understands?
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again!
Or would it ever be enough?
Every word you whisper,
All the tears you hide,
You die for love when it's alive,
But where does love go when it dies?
Could you ever steal a prayer to deny your God?
Could you ever buy your love and not count the cost?
Could you ever take a life when all was lost?
And would it ever be enough?
Could you bite the hand that feeds and then ask for more?
Could you kiss the wound that bleeds then spit it on the floor?
Could you open up your heart and then close the door?
Or would it ever be enough?
Every word you whisper,
All the tears you hide,
You die for love when it's alive,
But where does love go when it dies?
If you came across your dream would you walk on by?
Hold a candle to the wind and just let it die?
And is there inside your mind for one more try?
But would it ever be enough?
I watch the time go rushing by,
It's like an Ocean Wave,
Showing you no mercy,
Throwing dirt upon your grave.
You're drowning in the darkness,
And you're blinded by the light,
And there ain't no prayer,
That's gonna save you now!
If you woke up from your sleep with blood on your hands,
Would you wash the pain away that no one understands?
There must be someone out there who can help you breathe again!
Or would it ever be enough?
Every word you whisper,
All the tears you hide,
You die for love when it's alive,
But where does love go when it dies?
Velcro Heart
written by John Williams
When you feel it coming on,
Does it always feel the same,
Like a perfect Sunday Morning,
Like a needle in your vein?
Do you feed upon the feeling?
Does the lightening leave you blind?
Does it fill your empty Soul?
Or is it just another way to pass the time?
And there you go again,
Did I hear you say "Forever"?
Did I hear you say that this time won't end?
And it's like a perfect rose,
You thought you'd never find,
So you hold it in your heart,
And you say that this is mine.
But the leaves begin to dry,
And the pedals turn to Grey,
So you crush it in your hands,
And let the wind just blow the dust away.
And there you go again?!
Did I hear the words you love her?
Did I hear you say that that was your best friend?
Then move along,
Never getting caught,
Without a second thought,
Then you term it dead,
And pull it all apart,
And walk away with your Velcro Heart.
And you pull it all apart,
And then walk away with your Velcro Heart.
Are you frieghtened of the nighttime?
Scared to be alone?
Do you feel incomplete,
Without someone to own?
Well does it ever hurt you?
Do you ever bleed?
Have you ever been broken?
Or are you just shaking from the knees?
You gotta score again?
Gotta find another Lover?
Gotta find yourself a brand new best friend?
Then move along,
Never getting caught,
Without a second thought,
Then you term it dead,
And pull it all apart,
And walk away with your Velcro Heart.
There you go again,
Gotta find another Lover?
Gotta find yourself a brand new best friend?
And move along,
Never getting caught,
Without a second thought,
And you term it dead,
And pull it all apart,
And walk away with your Velcro Heart.
And walk away with your Velcro Heart.

Going Blind
written by Greg Michie & John Williams
And I know how it's to be,
There is nothing more for you and I,
Some are young and some are free,
And I think I'm going blind.
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Little Lady from the land beneath the Sea,
You're so young and so much different than I,
And I know how it's to be,
Can't you see I'm going blind?
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Little Lady can't you see?
You're so young and so much different than I?
I'm 93!
You're 16?
Can't you see I'm going blind?!
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
And I know how it's to be,
There is nothing more for you and I,
Some are young and some are free,
And I think I'm going blind.
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Little Lady from the land beneath the Sea,
You're so young and so much different than I,
And I know how it's to be,
Can't you see I'm going blind?
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Little Lady can't you see?
You're so young and so much different than I?
I'm 93!
You're 16?
Can't you see I'm going blind?!
Cause I think I'm going blind,
And I know how it should be.
Waiting
written by Damon Andelin, John Williams, & George Michael
There ain't no point in moving on,
Till you've got somewhere to go,
And the road that I have walked upon,
Well it filled my pockets,
But emptied out my soul.
All those insecurities,
That have held me down for so long,
I can't say I've found a cure for these,
But at least I know them,
So they're not so strong.
But you look for your dreams in Heaven,
But what the Hell are you supposed to do,
When they come true?
There's one year of my life in these songs,
And some of them are about you.
Now I know there's no way,
I can right those wrongs,
Believe me I would not lie,
You've hurt my pride.
And I guess there's a road without you,
But you once said there's a way back for every Man,
So here I am!
Don't people change?
Here I am!
Is it too late to start again?
Here I am!
There ain't no point in moving on,
