Oh, yeah
Side by side
I'll be yours forever
Yes I will
Rain or shine
Any kind of weather
Any kind

There isn't anything
I wouldn't do for you
Let's take what's getting old
And make it new

Oh, eye to eye
It's a blinding confrontation
You and I
We're a deadly combination

So don't start mixing
Truth with jealousy
The road we're on is clear
As far as I can see

Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time

Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind
Yeah, yeah
I love you, little girl

Black and white
Always go together
Day and night
You're the precious jewel I treasure

Wanting every part of you
Is not a crime
Could it be that you're the one
Who's wrong this time

Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time

Pamela
There is no second second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind
Leave all

Oh, Pamela, oh
Thousands of miles away
But always in my heart

Pamela
So don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time

Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all behind

Pamela
Don't break this heart of mine
Just remember it may not heal this time

Pamela
There is no second chance
For the one who leaves it all
Leave all behind
Leave all behind

I still love you, little girl
I still love you
And you know it, little Pamela
I still love you, yes I do
And you know it, little Pamela
Come on
Oh, little Pamela

Momma said: be careful what you do, yeah you.
She said, don't you let just anybody talk to you, no no no
I can't hide the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid if momma only knew, it feels right

Chorus:
If you want me, you got me,
and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

I confess I love the things you do, yes I do
Your caress keeps me coming back to you, only you

Chorus:
If you want me, you got me,
and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

(Instrumental break)

Chorus:
If you want me, you got me,
and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

Chorus:
If you want me, you got me,
and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

Anna please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna don't turn me down, there's still a chance
if we can hold out once more

'Cause we started out with love, that was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up

Chorus:
Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Anna you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going through
And Anna this all can change, if we turn the page
then we can start all again

'Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out
And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out on our love

Reflections in my mind
Thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on

I can almost hear a laugh
Coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings

Well-intended lies
Contemplating alibis
Is it really you or is it me I'm blaming

A distant memory
Flashes over me
Even though you're gone I feel you deep inside

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you, girl

There's a window in the heart
I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking

Someone's broken something new
Another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing

I held it in my hand
I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name

Tried to catch a shooting star
What seems so close can't be that far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you, girl

Oh, dancin' with that look that's in your eyes

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you, girl

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you
Loving you

. . .


I can't forget you my little Mushanga
I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting they keep getting longer
And not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer
Sent to report on political views
It was by chance through a lens that I met you
A Capetown girl with no shoes

Chorus:
You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then

You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you

Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh

I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
The loss of lives mining white man's gold

I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened
If what I knew could be told

(Chorus)

It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you

You were runnin' down the road
I was going your way
I stopped and turned around to lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering
I didn't understand, then

You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart
Like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart
Had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke into my heart
I saw your eyes and then I knew

You broke in from the start
And all my tears belong to you

Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh (repeat 3x)

. . .


You gave me too many chances, now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, 'cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now, but I won't let go

I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart

If you gave me three wishes, I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl, I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches, but your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl, who's afraid of being caught

You're standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldn't be further from the truth

Stay away, stay away from my heart - I'm doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart

Remember how it used to be girl, makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down

(Instrumental break)

I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, I'm doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart...

Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned

He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known

. . .


We keep hurting each other
When words can't be easily said
No understanding or reason
Just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future
And the young need a chance to survive
No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent
They're fighting to stay alive
Can no one see the tears in their eyes

Chorus:
Only the children
Only the children cry
Only the children

Why do those who have plenty
Ignore those with nothing at all?
Why must the ones just beginning
Stand with their backs to the wall?
They keep asking for answers
And we keep on telling them lies
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
It's the one thing they've known from the start

Chorus - (only the children cry)

(Instrumental break)

Chorus repeats ...

. . .


Day after day
I feel myself slowing down
What does it mean?
The air has changed
It's getting harder to breathe
Or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine

Chorus:
A thousand years
Lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin'
The world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

Tell me my friend
Can you imagine a place
Free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind
And it's come all of the way
From faraway skies
Take me away to a different world
Where everything's fine

Chorus

A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years

(Instrumental break)

Sail me away to a distant shore
Where everything's fine

Chorus

A thousand years
One day for every life
Just keep on going
We'll find you a home underground
In a thousand years

. . .


Everybody keeps talkin' about you
I can't lie anymore
Been too long, what went wrong?
It's a mystery
Why you ever walked out that door
What direction should I go?
Girl what's next for me?
I don't know

Chorus:
Is it gonna get easier?
Than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier?
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh

I see your face
When I look in the mirror
I feel your touch but you're not there
Wakin' up -- had enough
Of this dream of mine
Girl this just isn't fair
What direction should I go?
Girl what's next for me?
I don't know

Chorus

Day by day
Until they break
Ohhh ohhh

Chorus repeats out

. . .


Everything's gonna be alright boys
Help is on the way
Hold your head up high now
There's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore

Leave the politics behind boys
They're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here
It's make or break here
Haven't we been here before?
(Well come on!)
Tell me what we're waiting for

Chorus:
You gotta remember
You don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn
And say what you wanna say
You gotta remember
Don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

Who sings the song of the people?
You don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer
To the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like this before

So you're trying to shake this feeling
That trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night
Like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore
(Well, come on!)
Tell me what we're waiting for

Chorus

Chorus repeats 2x
