One morning walking down the street
Where nobody walks nobody can hear
Started listening to a sound so clear
To the world around me
Incredible scene I had to believe
I saw a difference to the way I see
The Mystery said come and see
The world around me
See the world all around--ahhh...
I started to laugh but a grin took its place
And my heart beat louder
Like it never did before
I saw things that I never saw before
In this world around me
I can't resist
I couldn't see how this could be an accident
I can't resist
I wanna see more
See the world all around--ahhh...
Solo
See the world all around--ahhh...
See the world all around me!!!
Hey!!!
See the world
All around
Hey!!!!!

The looks are
The smile is a lie
The clock drags on
The smoke is in your eyes
You know that blame is someone's
But you don't quite know who
(In your mind)
If it could only be different
(In your heart)
If only you could run away from it
Chorus:
Prisoner, prisoner
(If you could only say)
Choosing death for life
Prisoner, prisoner
(You are a prisoner)
Smiling executioner
If money
If love was in your life
Ifs run out
Gotta realize it's time
Confusion, Delusion
Alive in destitution
(In your mind)
If it could only be different
(In your heart)
If only you could run away from it
Chorus:
Prisoner, prisoner
(If you could only say)
Choosing death for life
Prisoner, prisoner
(You are a prisoner)
Smiling Executioner

She's got everything I need
And more to live my life
Ever thought to think of never survive
The circle has been broken
It's always been this way
The funny farm, our work
We're on our way
Chorus:
The Big Picture
I wanna see
I know you're listening
So let it be
Golden rules and Sunday schools
It was my way
A rock-n-roll, a spritual
Give me any day, yeah
The final chapter, the morning after
Blowing in the wind
Taking away the other day
Where time stands us still
Chorus:
The Big Picture
I wanna see
I know you're listening
So let it be
Solo
Chorus:
The Big Picture
I wanna see
I know you're listening
So let it be
(repeat)

Moving in a bus - too close for comfort.
Listening to all the gibberish around me.
Wonder, how much longer can I stand it?
Looking for a phone I cannot find.
Ohh woe is me. Like a politician in disguise,
you know I had to look you in the eyes and
smile, while I crawled another mile in
Germany. Lost in Germany
Swimming in an ocean of your feelings.
Counting every moment, go one by one.
Laughing to keep from crying out in anger.
Praying that I can make it through this night.
Ohh woe is me. It was like a never ending week,
but I learned to turn the other cheek and
smile, while I ran for one more mile in
Germany. Lost in Germany
Germany. Lost in Germany
Shooting at a target that eludes me.
Hammering on a nail that just won't go in.
Biting on a tongue that wants to speak out.
Searching for a light that I can shine.
Oh woe is me. But now I have crossed that
borderline, and I wonder if I'll ever find
your hand, 'cause I did not understand in
Germany. Lost in Germany.
Germany. Lost in Germany.

If I could only have one thing,
Give me the loving
(Loving is nothing to doubt)
A shot to the left and I fall down
Cover me
I hear the music again all around
Are you going my wa-ay
Who can I talk to without a sound
Out of the planet comes Gretchen
With faith, hope and love
Never the dull of a moment
Ever to ever be true
(Ever forever be true)
Touching the sky just to hold it maybe
It won't be so blue
I hear the music again all around
Are you going my wa-ay
Who can I talk to without a sound
Out of the planet comes Gretchen without.....
Give me not a little bit of love without measure
Now and ever on to you
Let me hear the beat to make my heart beat strong
(Make it beat stronger)
Swing down sweet chariot song (Come on)
Let me ride
To take a look at what I'm looking ooh
(What I'm looking after)
A little spark something to
Analyze, analyze, analyze
Ahhhhhh-Ahhhhhh
Uhhhhhh-Ahhhhhh (yeah)
Ahhhhhh-Ahhhhhh
(And the choir sings)
Do-wa-diddy-diddy
(As they walk down the aisle)
Dum-diddy-doo
Let me hear the beat to make my heart beat strong
(Make it beat stronger)
Swing down sweet chariot song (come on)
Let me ride
To take a look at what I'm looking oooh
(What I'm looking after)
A little spark something to
Analyze, analyze, analyze
If I could only have one thing
Give me the loving
(Loving is nothing to doubt)
A shot to the left and I fall down
Cover me
Ever to ever be true
Touching the sky just to hold it
I hear the music again all around
Are you going my wa-ay
Who can I talk to without a sound
Out of the planet comes Gretchen with....
Give me not a little bit, love without measure
Now and ever on to you
Give me not a little bit, love without measure
Now and ever on to you
I hear the music again all around
Are you going my wa-ay
Who can I talk to without a sound
(Guess that's it)

It's not so simply anymore
Sometimes it can't be done
But then there is wisdom
To fix a broken door
And throw away the key
Reject what doesn't matter
Ohhhhhh.........
It's not so hard anymore
Sometimes it can be hard
If there is wisdom
The house will shake the more
Hang on if you dream
'Cause everything matters
Ohhhhhh..........
Solo
The rest is to endure
To be the first and last
Is the only action
A vision quest of sorts
To get the story straight
And live forever after
Ohhhhhh..........

Junior's gone wild, can't stand the strain.
He's looking for the morning in the pouring rain.
The sky is black, the water runs,
If it falls into the cracks, the battle's done.
Junior's gone wild, he's trashed his room.
Double takes, things they break, revealing who is who
The truth is life, the lie is doomed
To crumble from the thunder that has come into the room.
Help him keep his head above water.
Hold him up, so he won't drown.
Help him keep my head above the water.
Hold him up, so we won't drown.

I find it hard some days to rememberI find it hard some days to forgetAnd some days I give everything within meAnd some days I don't give a bit
Chorus:Will it be??(It will absolutely be)Can you see??(With the eyes that God gave me)Are you free??(From the chains that fall on me)Well it's not just something deep inside my headIt's not just for the dead
Walking in a smog that's all around meAnd thru it somehow life lives tooBefore I let it all just overwhelm meI think of something good in you
Chorus:Will it be??(It will absolutely be)Can you see??(With the eyes that God gave me)Are you free??(From the chains that fall on me)Well it's not just something deep inside my headIt's not just for the dead
Chorus:Will it be?(It will absolutely be)Can you see?(With the eyes that God gave me)Are you free?(From the chains that fall on me)Well it's not just something deep inside my headIt's not just for the dead
Dead!!!Dead!!!Dead!!!Dead!!!

From a simple word,
To a simple phrase
Communication
And forgiving all
The poet with a way to see
And a time to say it all
Chorus:
I would never have known
(never have known)
What I know about love
LOOOOOOVE!!!!
LOOOOOOVE!!!!
If not for this.......
If not for you.......
If not for me.......
If not for truth
But I work so hard
Just to keep
This treasure chest of trash
Chorus:
I would never have known
(never have known)
What I know about love
LOOOOOOVE!!!!
Solo
Chorus:
I would never have known
(never have known)
What I know about........
Oh I never woulda known
Oh yeah.

A year in the hole had taken its toll
When I took a good look at me
And what a surprise
the scope of my eyes could only see black
And I remember someone who was taking them two by two
And lately I'd become the one who'd have laughed at you too!
There was a Black Flag on my morning
There was a Black Flag on my day
There was a Black Flag on everything around and I was
walking backwards again
I walked in the day, my usual way,
Looking through a 2 by 4
It colored my view, I couldn't see you
Or maybe I just wouldn't
And I remember the time when the sunlight fell on my head
And lately I'd become a member of the walking dead
There was a Black Flag on my morning
There was a Black Flag on my day
There was a Black Flag on everything around and I was
walking backwards again
And I know that I was wrong.
It was up to me
If I wanted to see
And I remember the day when I saw the mask on my face
And I knew that it was time to put the thing in its place
I'd put the Black Flag on my morning
I'd put the Black Flag on my day
I'd put the Black Flag on everything around and I was
walking backwards again
And I know that I was wrong
. . .

I'm walking in a foreign winter breeze
Don't think of home too much
It may just bring me to my knees
And I'm watching people playing in a place
They call their home
And I can't remember
When I ever felt so all alone
So far from home
Chorus:
If I have a dream in my life
I dream I'm with you
If I have a dream in my life for you
When I was young I knew just what I'd do
And so much more than that has come
In sharing life with you
And I take another step in the direction I must go
And I feel the truth inside me
It's the one this that I know
I know, I know
Chorus:
If I have a dream in my live
I dream it with you
If I have a dream in my life
I dream it will all fit together with you
I know this is the way it has to be
But it doesn't make it easier
I can't just pay a fee
That will make pain go away
So I accept it for another day
Our hope is deeper that the pain we often feel
So we take these steps together
As the hurt begins to heal
and we know it is for real
So we accept it for another day
Solo
And suddenly I don't have to run
I see the place where dreams and life become one
And our paths run together
Trailing off in the sun
Chorus:
Yes I have a dream in my life
I dream it with you
Yes I have a dream in my life
And you dream it too
Yes I have a dream in my life
I live it with you
Yes I have a dream in my life
We both feel it's true

What did you say there
My sister, my brother you talking to me?
What denomination?
The whole thing seems crazy to me
Don't know.
I sometimes wonder if we're walking
Down the same line
Must go.
I'm sorry to say that while you talk
I keep my eye on the time
Chorus:
And when we pray
Do we listen to the Silent Wind?
And if you pray
Do we listen for the Silent Wind?
What did you say?
Well the truth is just what it simply is
Maybe I'm lazy
Or maybe I never was a conversation whiz
Don't know.
But can we pull down the walls
For just a moment or two
Must go.
And maybe look beyond ourselves
To see whatever is true
Chorus:
And when we pray
Do we listen to the Silent Wind?
And if we pray
Will we listen for the Silent Wind?
And when we pray
Is our hand against the Silent Wind?
And if we pray
Will we breathe in the Silent Wind?
Solo
Chorus:
And when we pray
Do we listen to the Silent Wind?
And if we pray
Will we listen for the Silent Wind?
And when we pray
Is our hand against the Silent Wind?
And if we pray
Will be breathe in the Silent Wind?
