NEW HORIZONS

I'm moving, I'm hoping, I'm praying you'll come too
I'm chasing a feeling
A dream that must come true

Follow me where I go
I'll never leave you stranded
Stay with me if you can
Together to new horizons

There's no one to touch me when I am in your arms
So hold me so closely and never let me go

Follow me where I go
I'll never leave you stranded
Stay with me if you can
Together to new horizons


CRUEL WORLD

It's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
She doesn't even want to know my name
I've asked in hope but the answer's still the same

It's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
She doesn't even realise I'm here
I want to be close but I can't get nowhere near

It's a cruel world, it's a cruel world
She doesn't want to play my game
I've tried so much but it was all in vain

Such a cruel world
It's such a cruel world


I WILL

I feel so restless in this heat and cannot get to sleep
My mind is churning endlessly about what could have been
And how I lived before
And cannot love once more

I will

And when deep sleep descends on me
I cannot help but dream
The message is the same
"You'll never love again"

I will


WORLDS APART

One fine day we'll smile and shake hands
And who'll believe we've settled our differences?
Because presently we're on shaky ground
Always ready to put each other down
There's little forgiveness and a lot of mistrust
We'll choose our weapons as we see just

In every way, we're worlds apart
And we've just started
Yes, everyday we're worlds apart
And we've just started

Some fine day we'll sign a treaty
The media types will declare it's history
But currently we're on opposite sides
Always willing to put up a good fight
There's a lot of suspicion and so much doubt
It's a wonder if we'll ever sort it out

It's still the same we're worlds apart
And we've just started
In every way we're worlds apart
And we've just started


CALL ON ME

Lost in some magical world that doesn't exist
To escape from the humdrum of life it's hard to resist

I know what you're feeling
I know how you think
But it stands to reason
Your troubles won't shrink
If you need help call on me

Locked in some fantasy world that doesn't exist
Evading the problems of life which will not desist

I know what you're feeling
I know how you think
But it stands to reason
Your troubles won't shrink
If you need help call on me

If you need help call on me


WITH HIM

I came with sorrow and apologies
To find you laughing and embracing him

With him

I tried to hurry back
No will or no way could cope with the thought of you
With your face to his face

I came with regrets but left in peace
Nothing can part you now you're with him

With him


HAPPY TOGETHER

When your with me I'll never be lonely
When you're not here I think of you only

Everything was grey until you came my way

I hope we stay happy together
Now my life couldn't be better

Everything was grey until you came my way
Clouds just blew away when you came my way


DISAPPOINTMENT

In this life there's lots of disappointment
But in your eyes I'm loved
In this life there's lots of disappointment
Of which I have seen enough

You can tell what you're doing to me
Because I can't hide what I'm feeling

In this life there's lots of disappointment
Which I hope I've left behind
In this life there's lots of disappointment
Sometimes life's unkind

You can tell what you're doing to me
I can't hide what I'm feeling

In this life there's lots of disappointment
I'm sure I've had my share
In this life there's lots of disappointment
But I know that you will care

You can tell what you're doing to me
I can't hide what I'm feeling


CAPTURED

We were dreamers
Nothing came between us
Because we were lovers
We were captured by the moon

We were believers
No one came between us
We were so close
So it hurt me when it ended

When the dream failed the world came crashing down
And all my faith went
It's last time I'm caught out

A kiss in twilight
Under a spotlight
Like a photograph
We were captured by the moon

You held me so tight
In the still of the night
Wouldn't let me go
So it hurt me when it ended

When the dream failed the world came crashing down
And all my trust went
It's last time I'm caught out

Now all I've got are hopeless memories
The ones that mattered I can't rely on them

We were dreamers
Nothing came between us
Because we were lovers
We were captured by the moon

BECAUSE WE CARE

Because we care because someone has to
Because we love and want to be loved
Because we will never give in
Because we are up against it

Because we care

Because belief is not a dirty word
Because we are struggling to be heard
Because we want honesty
Because we are not afraid to cry
Because we care

Because we reject their rules
Because we find hope in anger
Because we are fuelled by disgust
Because we dare because we must

Because we care


THE BLUE AND THE GREY

I hear you calling across an ocean of apathy and unconcern
You know we're dealing with the unfeeling
Who disregard all we have learned

Listen when I shout these words
Or else I will stay unheard
They have used up all their time

I hear you crying across a desert of honour and of purity
You know we're fighting with the uncaring
Who have no sense of integrity

Listen when I shout these words
Or else I will stay unheard
They have used up all their time

Change will come to the unkind
For too long we've been behind
One day soon we will be fine

Help me to realise my dream
They don't know how tough it's been
How rough it's been

Listen when I shout these words
Or else I will stay unheard
They have used up all their time
Change will come to the unkind
The sort of people I despise
One day soon we will be fine


SET ME FREE

Will you return
Will you return your hold on me
Your hold on me
Let it go, let it go
Your hold on me
Your hold on me

Let me go
Let me go
To walk out free

Will you release
Will you release the chains on me
Let me go please let me go
Just set me free
Please set me free

Let me go
Let me go
To walk out free


HERMIT

Do you want to find someone?
Don't you even want to try?

Do you want to find someone to care?
All the answers could be out there

Do you want to find someone to love?
Can living on your own be enough?

Do you want to find someone to share?
All the answers could be out there

From days to months you count the time
Years will swiftly pass you by

Do you want to find someone?
Don't you even need to try?

Do you want to find someone to care?
All the answers could be out there


TIME STANDS STILL

Time stands still whenever you appear
Time stands still whenever you are near

When you go away from me I don't ever feel apart
From the love you give to me
You are always in my thoughts
You are everything to me

When you go afar from me I don't ever feel alone
You are always here with me
Even when I'm on my own
You are everything to me

Time stands still...


BELIEVE

I thought that I had seen it all
But I've been far too cynical
I'd been alone too long

I've watched afar at all their games
A test of strength that lovers play
So I vowed to stay away
They always end in tears some day

She blew through my life like a summer breeze
She brought me to my knees
She taught me to believe

Now my faith has been restored
A sense of calm I can't ignore
I found what I was looking for
And I can smile once more

She blew through my life like a summer breeze
She brought me to my knees
She taught me to believe


HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT YOU CARE?

Your love has liar written on it
Your lame desire has nothing in it

If you no longer want me
Well I don't mind
It's just the way you fake it

How can you say that you care?

How could you walk out and say you loved me
When we both know that it's faded away
Who do you meet when you state you're with friends

How can you say that you care?

If you no longer need me
Well I don't mind
It's just the way you use me
How can you say that you care?


BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE

My heart skipped a beat when you were near to me
You touched my lips and I'd start quivering
And everyday was once worth living

I've been in love before

And then I doubted she was true to me
I'd look for signs that she was lying to me
Those little things that keep you wondering

I've been in love before

I look around me and everyone's afraid
They might be alone some day

I saw her smile in my direction
I wanted more just for a second
Then killed it dead before love beckoned

I've been in love before

I look around me and everyone's afraid
They might be alone some day
I look about me and everyone's the same
They might be alone some day

I've been in love before
