SONG LYRICS

(IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)

EVER WONDER WHY?

VERSE I

Ever wonder why—it makes us so confused?

Ever wonder why—to win you have to lose?

Ever wonder why—we wander far away?

Ever wonder why—we only want to stay?

Ever wonder why—we never seem to learn?

Ever wonder why? Ever wonder why?

VERSE II

Ever wonder why—the world is full of pain?

Yet no one will believe we could ever change

Ever wonder why—we live so fast to die?

Never taking time for ever asking why

Ever wonder why—we feel so all alone?

Ever wonder why? Ever wonder why?

BRIDGE

Well I don’t know which way to go,

I got my mind messed up you know,

Just livin’ in this crazy place,

Ain’t nothin’ if you haven’t spaced

On what is high and what is low

And where we come from

Where we go

It’s all a riddle, all a show,

So call me up and let me know

Oh no! I want to know!

VERSE III

Ever wonder why—we dream our lives away?

Ever wonder why—to learn we have to play?

Ever wonder why—we never question what we’re told?

Ever wonder why—the more we learn, the less we know?

Ever wonder why—we pretend we’re not afraid?

Ever wonder why? Ever wonder why?

I CAN’T THINK OF A TIME

CHORUS

I can’t think of a time, when you weren’t on my mind

VERSE

I’m not supposed to feel this way,

I’ve got my life—my plans in place,

I haven’t got the time to waste

On these new feelings

I’m not supposed to stand and stare,

But when I see you I don’t care,

Your smile, your face, your flowing hair,

They drive right through me

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do,

Cause everywhere I look I just see you,

I change my mind, my time, my place,

But still my eyes look for your face,

That I—that I might see you

For a moment more…

CHORUS

I can’t think of a time, when you weren’t on my mind

Every day, every day, every day, every day

BRIDGE

And I don’t know just what to say,

Maybe I’ll just stay away,

I don’t know what you’d see in me,

-- or even why…

I’m livin’ in this jeopardy,

Of wanting you, but can’t believe,

That this could happen anyway,

Am I in love? Am I in love?

CHORUS

I can’t think of a time, when you weren’t on my mind

Every day, every day, every day, every day

I CRY ON THE INSIDE

VERSE

Listenin’ to the problems of the world,

Watchin’ all the sadness from this chair,

Hopin’ that somehow you might get better,

Never seems to help with your despair

CHORUS

And I cry, on the inside,

Because I know I’m the biggest fool of all,

Yeah I cry, on the inside,

I never let you see what I recall

VERSE 2

Waitin’ for the never comin’ phone call,

Growin’ colder one degree each day,

Actin’ like it doesn’t matter to me at all,

Knowin’ that you’ve chosen your own way

CHORUS

And I cry, on the inside,

Because I know I’m the biggest fool of all,

Yeah I cry, on the inside,

I drink alone so you won’t see me fall

BRIDGE

Yeah I cry, on the inside, Yeah I cry where you can’t see

Yeah I cry, on the inside, Yeah I cry for you and me

VERSE 3

Here’s to all the good times, all the memories,

Here’s to when we knew how to find our way,

Here’s to innocence with no boundaries,

Here’s to no more black and white, just grey

CHORUS

And I cry, on the inside,

Because I know too much yet nothin’ much at all

Yeah I cry, on the inside

Because I know I’m the biggest fool of all

I REACH OUT

CHORUS

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But you don’t even try at all, there’s nothin’ I can do

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But all I ever get from you is nothin’ I can use

VERSE I

I don’t know why—I take the risk at all,

When I try—I always take the fall,

I’m just a guy—who’s looking for a call

From that someone who cares about me

CHORUS

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But you don’t even try at all, there’s nothin’ I can do

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But all I ever get from you is nothin’ I can use

VERSE II

I’m so confused—I don’t know what to say,

I’ve learned to lose—it’s always been that way

But I refuse—I’m gonna see the day

When there’s someone who cares about me

CHORUS

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But you don’t even try at all, I feel like such a fool,

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

You lead me on just to let me down, you couldn’t be more cruel

VERSE III

Don’t want to live—pretending all the time,

I want to give—more than a player’s line,

Cause I believe—that someday I will find

That there’s someone who cares about me

CHORUS

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But you don’t even try at all, there’s nothin’ I can do

I reach out and reach out and reach out to you,

But all I ever get from you is nothin’ I can use

IT DOESN’T MATTER

VERSE

It doesn’t matter if you laugh or cry

It doesn’t matter if you scream

It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white

It doesn’t matter much to me

It doesn’t matter if the sun goes down

It doesn’t matter what you’ll be

It doesn’t matter if you’re high or low

It doesn’t matter don’t you see?

CHORUS

You gotta dance, gotta dance to your own beat

Dance like it’s all a dream

You gotta dance, gotta dance to your own beat

Dance to a different scene

You gotta dance, gotta dance to your own beat

Dance all your cares away

You gotta dance, gotta dance your own beat

Dance to a brand new day

VERSE 2

It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor

It doesn’t matter if you’re small

It doesn’t matter-- where you were born

It doesn’t matter much at all

It doesn’t matter who you say you know

It doesn’t matter how smart you may be

It doesn’t matter what you buy

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Don’t you know that you have much more in you

Than you may ever see?

There’s a part of you that will see you through

To where you want to be

If we only knew that all we do

Only brings insanity

So I’m tellin’ you, ‘cause I know it’s true

Letting go can set us free

VERSE 3

It doesn’t matter what you’re supposed to know

It doesn’t matter if you try

It doesn’t matter if you failed before

It doesn’t matter if you cry

It doesn’t matter if you win the war

It doesn’t matter who’s the best

It doesn’t matter if you’re left or right

It doesn’t matter that’s the test

CHORUS

LIVE FOR TODAY

VERSE

I haven’t got a crystal ball,

And I won’t try to pretend

That I could see the future

Or how my story ends

I know I’ve got a past in mind

That tells me where I’ve been

But all those people are forever gone

I’m my only lifetime friend

CHORUS

Live for today, it’s all we really have

Live for today, the past is just the past

Live for today, it’s all that’s gonna last

VERSE 2

And I am slowly letting go

Of all that might have been

I know I gave it my best shot

With what I had back then

I see the changes in my face

As each day passes by

I see the things I want to know

The things I want to try

CHORUS

VERSE 3

Today I love with all my heart

Today I will not miss

The opportunities given me

The chance to truly live

The taste of wonder, the loudest laugh

The first to get in line

The moment when you finally touch

The words you can’t define

CHORUS

MULTITUDES

VERSE I

Everyone I see here, is wearing “black and white”

Everyone around me =, just has to look alike,

I’m not afraid of my own non conformity,

But I can’t seem to find my own identity

BRIDGE

I’m just a drop in an endless ocean,

A child of infinity,

I write this song and before I know it,

Ten thousand more are released

CHORUS

Multitudes and multitudes, are overwhelming me,

Multitudes and multitudes, are everywhere I see,

Multitudes and multitudes—more than I can believe

VERSE II

I don’t belong to anyone, I don’t belong to me,

I got my fingerprint of DNA for free,

And all around me, the crowds press on their way,

Marching to the rhythms of whatever others say,

BRIDGE

I got a line that I keep in my pocket,

From a fortune cookie I received,

It says someday I will be happy,

When I’m finally true to me

CHORUS

Multitudes and multitudes, is there any room to breathe?

Multitudes and multitudes, more than I can count, than I can see,

Multitudes and multitudes, can anyone be free?

VERSE III

Mass production, mass marketing, mass sex appeal for all

A pill for me, a pill for you, isn’t anyone appalled?

I can’t escape the sound of the messages to buy,

Everything to make me, indebted ‘til I die

BRIDGE

I want to live where somebody knows me,

I want to have my name,

It’s not a choice when you’re just a number,

It’s how you go insane

CHORUS

Multitudes and multitudes, despair is all I see,

Multitudes and multitudes, are devastating me,

Multitudes and multitudes, everywhere surrounding me

THE ONLY ONE

VERSE

I wish I knew the answer,

I wish I knew the plan,

When I am in my darkness,

And you are in your pain,

I never thought I’d see you,

Be the one who’d take the blame,

But I will never leave you,

Even if I can’t remain,

CHORUS

The only one, the only one

VERSE II

Everything reminds me,

How you used to laugh and play

But even though it hurts me,

I can’t put those dreams away,

I never felt so helpless,

Watching you go on your way,

And you won’t even let me,

Try to find the words to say,

CHORUS

The only one, the only one

The only one, you’re the only one

BRIDGE

I give you my heart, my hands, my every inspiration,

I understand that you might throw it all away,

But here’s where I am, with my

Long standing invitation,

According to plan, we’ll find

One step for every day, every day, every day

VERSE III

I never thought they’d hurt you,

I believed you knew your way,

I didn’t even notice,

Until I saw I was too late,

But the only thing that matters,

Are the words I have to say,

You belong to me, I belong to you,

It will always be that way

CHORUS

The only one, the only one

The only one, you’re the only one

WHEN WE ALL BELONG

VERSE

Without a flame, there’s no reason for a fire

With nothin’ to gain, there’s no reason for desire

Without a stream, there’s no river, there’s no sea

Without a dream, there’s no hope for you and me

There’s no hope for you and me…

CHORUS

When we all belong, we will be free (Repeat 3x)

VERSE 2

Without a smile, there’s no laughter anywhere

Without a child, there’s no mother for her care

Without a heart, there’s no rhythm in our soul

Without a soul, there’s no place for us to go

There’s no place for us to go

CHORUS

BRIDGE

We will be free of hunger, free of pain,

Free of living with the shame, of

Those who have and those who don’t

Those who live and those who won’t

--Free of anger, free of war,

Free of hating any more

Free to feel, to hear, to see

Free to live our destiny

We all possess the dignity

Of livin’ one humanity

VERSE 3

Without a word, there’s no song for us to hear

Without a home, there’s no community to share,

Without a seed, there’s no flower on the stem

Without you and me, there’s no us, there’s only them

There’s no us, there’s only them

CHORUS

WITH THE GOOD COMES THE BAD

CHORUS

With the good comes the bad,

Knowing the difference, is where it’s at

With the good comes the bad,

Makes you grateful, oh so grateful,

For the good that we have

VERSE

The good times we had, have all gone away,

We tried to keep them for tomorrow, but lost them yesterday,

And all that we have are memories to share,

But no one will listen, nobody cares

Well this life’s a balance-- a tight rope we share

This world’s the tension between hope and despair

And all that we see makes no difference to me

It all comes and goes in one passing fantasy

CHORUS

VERSE 2

Is happiness good fortune?

Or fortune a curse?

Is living with nothing, what we really deserve?

We need the choice if we want to be free

It’s not just the light but the shadows we see

The yin and the yang, the black and the white,

The light and the darkness, the wrong and the right,

Help us to see what really is there

One holy vision, one life to share

CHORUS
