D. Davies

Charity, all the world really needs is charity
We're living in a dream.

I'll plead with you all till it tears me apart
Is this all that we want ? Is this all that we really are ?

Hey, if you want, turn away if you want, turn away if you like
For the rest of your life, every day, every night
In your house and your car, yes I know who you are
Can you not hear the world in its pain trying to call to you ?

Oh oh, charity, we're living in a dream
(Charity) can't fool me with your vanity
I've seen what's in your heart.

I'll plead with you all till it tears me apart
Is this all that we want ? This is all that we really are.

Will our hearts ever change ? Does it sound so strange ?
When people touch children cry, can you not wonder why ?
In your own little world, can you not say a word ?
Try to help someone else on the search or assert yourself.

Oh oh, charity, we're living in a dream
(Charity) can't fool me with your vanity
I've seen what's in your heart.

(Charity) all the world really needs is charity.

Is this all that we want ? Is this all we really are ?

D. Davies

You got a mean disposition
You got no inner vision
And you're cruel in addition.

I can tell by the way you look
I can read you like a book
Oh, you're out there on your own
Without friends to call your own.

Remember the days
When we thought they would last for always
Life full of dreams
And we really believe that they come true some day.

Too-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo
Too-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo
Too-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo.

You got a mean disposition
But no goal or ambition
Oh, you're out there on your own
With no place to call a home.

Remember the days
When we thought they would last for always
Life full of dreams
And we really believe that they come true one day.

Whatever happened to the man
With a future and a plan.

You got a mean disposition
Too-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo
Too-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo.

You got a mean disposition
You got no inner vision
And you're cruel, oh yes you are.

D. Davies

Love gets you any way, any way it can
Love gets you any way, any way it can.

Close my eyes and think of you, my love
This space is full of you, my love
Oh, hold me tight here in your arms tonight.

Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way, it's true
Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way.

Goodbye lonely, now my life's begun
All the nights I used to sit alone
Oh, promise me you'll need me always.

Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way, it's true
Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way.

All I want's your love
Keep telling me soft and clear
There's no other one
Love me for ever, dear.

Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way, it's true
Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way, it's true
Love gets you any way you want it
Any way it can
Love gets you any way you want it
Any way it can
Love gets you any way you want it
Love gets you any way, it's true
...

D. Davies

Ooh, I wrote you a letter and you never sent a reply
It's a shame, always money or power and it doesn't really matter what you think.

Oh, I'd give you all I had to give, over and over again
While the government hides its head in the sand
We live in a danger zone.

We're living in a danger zone
You're living in the twilight zone
Watch out, fall out, gonna get ya, check it out.

All the sad politicians hold the world in the palm of their hands
It's a lie, just an old film on the late show, in the end everybody dies.

Oh, I'll give you all I have to give, over and over again
Oh, when will we get it into our heads ?
We live in a danger zone.

We're living in a danger zone
You're living in the twilight zone
Watch out, fall out, gonna get ya, check it out.

We're living in a danger zone
You're living in the twilight zone
What's wrong with solar power ? (No profit)
Money money money makes me sick
You can't get enough of it, of it.

We're living in a danger zone
You're living in the twilight zone.

D. Davies

As I walked home the other night, I looked up to the sky
It hit me like a light in the head
He showed me of the world in a different way
Oh, I'll never be the same.

(This is space-sector calling) are you talking to me ?
(We have a message for you) I could not help but listen
(Children of earth must all become) one family.

(Your leaders will not listen) but what can I do ?
(People will listen to you) I'm just a poor fool
(Reach out and help us and) make them understand.

A place for everyone in their sacred plan
Living in all lands
I'll never turn away, now my life has changed
I'll never be the same.

(This is space-sector calling) are you talking to me ?
(We have a message for you) I could not help but listen
(Children of earth must all become) one family.

(Your leaders will not listen) but what can I do ?
(People will listen to you) I'm just a poor fool
(Reach out and help us and) make them understand.

(This is space-sector calling) are you talking to me ?
(We have a message for you) oh, what can it be ?
(Children of earth must all become) one family.

(Your leaders will not listen) but what can I do ?
(People will listen to you) I'm just a poor fool
(Reach out and help us and) make them understand.

D. Davies

Ooh, I don't understand in this crazy world we live in
Just look around, is it true ? No one gives a damn
Trapped in a world of illusion, is it too late for us ?

Ooh, baby, we'll never know why we're stranded here
Lost in this crowded room
I noticed you the minute you came into view
But you're so hard to me, oh why do I care for you so ?
I never ever doubt, my love
The time is oh so right for love.

Take one more chance, this is the last dance
Take one more chance, this is the last romance.

I don't understand, been avoiding me all evening
Each time I looked you just dance again on the floor
Like life itself had no meaning
If I could touch you but, oh deep in my heart I know
There's a destiny through all this sadness I see
It's not too late to change, my love
Tonight the stars are made for love.

Take one more chance, this is the last dance
Take one more chance, this is the last romance
Take one more glance and give our life a chance
Take one more glance and give our life a chance
Take one more chance, this is the last dance.

D. Davies

Freedom, there's more to your life so now
Old laws man has made only blind
Oh, give us freedom, a call to the brave and the strong
To stand in the face of all wrong and show the way.

Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.

Freedom, to live out the dream in a song
Give hope to the hearts of the young
Oh, give us freedom, to act out of love and not fear
So all that is true will be clear.

Hear tomorrow
Calling : 'Hold me, show me'.

Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies.

Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies
Freedom lies, freedom lies, freedom lies
...

D. Davies

I'd be home free if I could make up my mind
What to do about you
One minute I think I love you
The next I'm playing the fool.

You're such a part of me, can't tear myself away from you
Don't care what people say, I just wanna be close.

I've changed my mind a thousand times
Now it's a case of do or die
There's no more time to reason why.

Now it's a matter of decision
Why can't I make up my mind ?
I can't stand this indecision
I'm going out of my mind.

The world is in such a sorry state
In the papers, in the news
Politicians can't see their hands from their feet
Nobody cares about the truth.

Wish I could make the world a better place for you and me
You always run and hide, I only wanna be close.

The teachers stuff your head with lies
And make it hard to realize
What's going on ? What's wrong ? What's right ?

Well, it's a matter of decision
We all must make a stand
For everything that we believe in
Every woman, every man.

It's a matter of decision.

A matter of decision
A matter of decision
A matter of decision
A matter of decision.

D. Davies

They say you're as cold as ice
All that matters to me is what I see inside you
You know what people are like
Talk about you when your back is turned
But don't you worry 'bout a thing
Oh, some people they just never learn.

They just can't understand you, all the things you do
But I'm glad that I've found you, to share this love so true.

(Do you really wanna stay with him ?) they say
(Do you really go away with him ?) they say
(I don't know I'm sure).

Is it any wonder ?
You surely gotta wonder
(But I love you, honey, I can't let go)
Is it any wonder ?

Sometimes people make me laugh with their false morality
Judging other people's lives but I don't care as long as you're with me
One day when the world has grown and we see things as they really are
Please, remember two souls struggling hard to reach a star.

There's a life that is planned here just for me and you
That goes beyond understanding, all the little things we do.

Do you really like the way you live ?
Why is it always take, not give ?
I don't know I'm sure.

Is it any wonder ?
You surely gotta wonder
Is it any wonder ?

Is it any wonder ?
You surely gotta wonder
(But I love you, honey, and I can't let go)
Is it any wonder ?

Is it any wonder ?
(Well, I love you, honey, and I can't let go)
Is it any wonder ?
(Well, I love you, honey, and I can't let go).

. . .


D. Davies

See your face everywhere
Giving you all my life
All I own is for you.

There's a fire, a fire burning in my heart
Can't deny it, a fire burning in my heart for you
A fire burning in my heart.

It only goes to show
The world is full of miracles
I thought I'd never know.

Touch my soul with your light
Freeing me of all doubt
Of all fear, here in me.

There's a fire, a fire burning in my heart
Can't deny it, a fire burning in my heart for you.

Fire, a fire burning in my heart
A fire burning in my heart for you.

There's a fire, a fire burning in my heart ..

D. Davies

Glory is on our way
Worship the sun, Great Spirit
Born of the Mother Earth
Seek for the true, white brother.

We are the chosen people
Give back our sacred land
We are the four grandfathers
A destiny for man.

It is written in our prophecy (it is written in our prophecy)
That we shall find the true white brother (we shall find the true white brother)
Who will help us, joined together, to build humanity
There is a place for everyone.

We are the chosen people
Give back our holy land
We are the ever forest
We are Great Spirit's hand.

She will call us soon
She will shake her body
Bringing your land to ruin
Why will the world not hear us ?

We are most ancient teachers
We know Great Spirit's plan
We learned by Nature's secrets
The inner side of man.

We are the chosen people
Give back our sacred land
We are the four grandfathers
A destiny for man.

. . .


D. Davies

I've seen you, cold winter
I know you, cold winter.

You showed me no mercy
Still I shan't forget the warning.

You'll never know how it feels to be loved.

I know you, cold winter
You broke my heart, cold winter.

I missed you, warm summer
Never thought I'd see you, cold summer.

You'll never know how it feels to be loved.

I thank you, cold winter
Never leave that game to life's story.

You healed me, cold winter
You taught me how to face the morning.
