hey hey back to, hey hey back to blue
it looks like we are slidin’ down to our (the) end
cry back to the top and slide right down again
there’s no need for talkin’, heard those words before
just one more nice story, then right out the door
i’m all mixed up, or so it feels
might be what i need but it’s so damn real
it’s so messed up, to end this way
everything is broken & im just too
tired to stay – yeah oh
but that’s what we do
you turn away
and i’m turnin’ back to blue
yeah that’s what we do
you’re long gone
and i’m turnin’ back to blue
hey hey back to, hey hey back to blue
there’s no need for holdin’
i don’t want your touch
and no words i’ve said have ever hurt me this much
as hard as a mountain, as cold as the sea
is how my heart feels, please stop looking at me!
you’re all mixed up, to come back around
lookin’ for mercy,
but there’s none to be found
it’s so messed up, a dirty deal
there’s no going back now
this time - will be for real – oh
hey hey back to, hey hey back to blue

YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGING
UNTIL THE WALLS COME DOWN
YOU’RE NEVER GONNA SEE SOMEBODY WALKIN’ UP HERE
HANDIN’ YOU A CROWN
YOU’VE GOT TO JUST KEEP MOVIN’
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
IF YOU’RE CHASIN’ DOWN YOUR DREAM WALK RIGHT BY SOMEBODY
STANDIN’ IN YOUR WAY
YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGIN’ THE HAMMER
EVERY SINGLE DAY
YOU’VE GOT TO TRY TO KEEP LAUGHIN’
EVEN WHEN YOUR HEART BREAKS
YOU JUST KEEP ON PUSHIN’ UP THE MOUNTAIN
NO MATTER WHAT THAT MOUNTAIN TAKES
AW BABY JUST KEEP TRYIN’
UNTIL YOU FIND A WAY
AND WHEN THEY SAY TOO BLACK, TOO WHITE, TOO BLUES…
THEY’RE JUST JUST WORDS ANYWAY. YEAHÍ
YOU‘VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGING THE HAMMER
EVERY SINGLE DAY
AND WATCH THE WALLS COME DOWN….DOWN…DOWN
AND WATCH THE WALLS COME DOWN….DOWN…DOWN
YOU JUST NEED TO KEEP WANTING
TO BE YOUR OWN THING NOW
AND EVERY TIME THEY PUT THEIR HAND UP TO STOP YOU
YA ÍGONNA SMILE CAUSE YOU’RE GOIN’ ANYHOW
JUST KEEP ON SWINGIN’
TILL THE WALLS FALL AWAY
AND IF THE HAMMER’S TOO HEAVY , KEEP TRYING
MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE WHILE , THAT’S OK. THAT'S OK.
YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP ON SWINGIN’ THE HAMMER EVERY SINGLE DAY.

THERE’S NO DENYING - I’VE MADE A FEW MISTAKES
JUMPED IN THE BURNING FLAMES - WHEN IT MIGHT HAVE BEST TO WAIT
IT’S A PERFECT DISGUISE - PRETENDING THAT YOU JUST DON’T CARE
SO HOW COULD I BE SURPRISED - WHEN YOU LEFT ME STANDING THERE
BUT LOVE IS LIKE A MOUNTAIN NOW FOREVER
AND WHEN I FINALLY REACHED THE TOP
I COULD SEE FOR MILES
AND ALL I KNEW - WAS YOU WERE ON MY MIND
ALL I KNEW WAS - YOU WERE BY MY SIDE
AND WE GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON x4
UNTIL WE GET IT RIGHT - GET IT RIGHT
I’VE BEEN FIGHTING MYSELF - BUT I NEVER SEEM TO WIN
IT’S LIKE I’M SOMEONE ELSE - DEPENDING ON THE MOOD I’M IN
BUT BABY I TRY - YOU KNOW I TRY TO BE THE BEST I CAN
I’M MAKING NO PROMISES - NO EXCUSES FOR THE WAY I AM
AND AS THE FUTURE TURNS INTO THE PAST
I WISH THAT I COULD TURN BACK TIME
AND MAKE THE FEELING LAST
CHORUS
IN THE TIME - THE TIME IT TAKES TO BREAK A HEART
WE COULD JUST CHANGE OUR MINDS – THEN WE WOULDN’T BE SO FAR APART
CHORUS

Tell me what you’re gonna do
Tell me what you’re gonna do?
Darkness falls on the people’s hearts
So tell me what you’re gonna do
Tell me what you;re gonna say
When they come to take what’s yours away?
Will you type it out, or stand up and shout
Tell me what you’re gonna say
No i’m not gonna cry when i should be fightin’
I’m not gonna hide when I need to be strong
I’m not gonna run when i see what’s comin’
Been comin’ so long so long
Tell me how you're gonna feel
Tell me when it’s really real
Did you think your color meant
You would somehow be exempt? No
Tell me when it’s really real
Tell me if you’ll come with me
Tell me when you feel the need
I think we been here before
Ain’t this just another civil war?
So tell me when it’s time to bleed
(Chorus)
Bring it on, bring it on
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Tell me when you’re gonna prove
How you’re s’posed to feel about you?
If you don’t fight you might lose your light
Tell me you’re gonna do
Tell me you’re gonna do
Tell me you’re gonna do
Tell me you’re gonna do?

If love is an army
sadness the enemy
you know that i will fight for you
there’s no divine inspiration
something else calls us here
and our hearts know what to do
and if I see you stumble
you know i know just how that feels
i have fallen, sometimes i'm falling still
and the hands that catch you
are the ones that touch you everyday
call my name, call my name
love is an army, call my name
call my name, call my name
love is an army, call my name
look all around you
there ain’t no heroes here
you know there’s only flesh and bone
no wings no angels flying
there’s only walking here
but we don't walk alone
And when I hear you crying
You know I know just how you feel
I have cried some, our tears pour down like rain
and those arms that hold you
are the same that lift and carry every day
call my name, call my name
love is an army, call my name
call my name, call my name
we are an army, call my name

So darlin’ now just go to sleep
And I’ll go back to the cold dark, deep
CHORUS

So darlin’ now please go to sleep
And dream of me the way I want to be

We beg we kill we steal we feel we lie
Down below
That’s where I stay

IF I DIDN'T WANT YOU JUST THINK HOW GOOD LIFE WOULD BE
I COULD FORGET YOU SO EASILY
I’D NEVER CRY I’D BE OVER YOU
AND I COULD FACE THE TRUTH
IF I DIDN'T NEED U - I’D TURN THE RADIO ON
AND IT WOULDN'T KILL ME - WHEN I HEARD OUT OLD SONG
AND PHOTOGRAPHYS OF YOU & ME
WOULDN'T BRING BACK MEMORIES
WHAT I COULD DO – IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU
WHAT I COULD DO – IF I DIDN'T HURT FOR YOU
IF I WASN'T DYING - FROM THIS BROKEN HEART
I’D BE GOOD AS NEW - OH WHAT I COULD DO
IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU
IF IT WAS EASY SLEEPIN ALONE AT NIGHT
THERE’D BE NO REASON TO LAY THERE AND CRY
AND I’D NO LONGER BE YOUR FOOL
OH THE THINGS I WOULDN'T DO
IF MY HEART WASN'T BROKE I’D CALL UP AN OLD FLAME
I’D SHOW HIM THE STARS AND GIVE UP MY NAME
AND LOVE HIM MORE THAN I LOVED YOU
OH BUT WHO AM I TRYIN TO FOOL
CHORUS
UMM HMM - WHAT I COULD DO – IF I DIDN'T LOVE YOU

EAGLES FLY AND WALLS DIVIDE
MY HOME WHERE BATTLES RAGE

HERE IN THE IN THIS WORLD TODAY
MOM AND POP PROTECT THE BORDERS

LOAD THE GUNS FOR SONS AND DAUGHTERS
TO STEAL FREEDOM OF ANOTHER WOMAN & MAN
CHORUS
WOLF IS CROUCHING AT THE GATEHOUSE
POWER QUICKLY CHANGING HANDS
AND NO ONE SEEMS TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THIEF & A PROPHET - TRYING TO MAKE A STAND
CHORUS

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER TIME – IN HISTORY

Love To A Gunfight
03:46

I heard it on the news today
Freedom takes a holiday
She packed her things and moved away
Somewhere that there’s more than just rain
Momma called me just to say
Now is not the time to pray
Everybody’s so afraid
So maybe we get brave today
Oh oh oh oh
This song’s our weapon tonight
Oh oh oh oh
We’re bringing love to a gunfight
Oh oh oh oh
Sometimes it hurts when you try to do right
Oh oh oh oh
We’ll bringing love to a gunfight
We’ll build a wall arm and arm
Dressed in pink on the boulevard
they try to stop us every foot and yard
It don’t matter , on and on we’ll march
We stand up and step out of line
Break law when love’s a crime
And peace is the way we fight
In the summer night – singing…
Chorus
And we’ll be singing
And we’ll be singing yeah…
Mamma called me just to say
Now is not the time to pray
Everybody’s so afraid
Maybe we get brave today
This song’s our weapon tonight
We’re bringing love to a gunfight
Yes we are

THINKING BACK, WHEN I WAS YOUNG,
MIDNIGHT, SUMMER BREEZE
EVERYTHING WAS OH SO FUN
WE’D DANCE IN THE STREET
AND I - I THOUGHT WE’D
ALWAYS DANCE THAT WAY
YOUR HANDS, - MY WAIST
THE MEMORIES - DONT FADE
SOMETIMES ITS ANOTHER BATTLE,
NO SHELTER FROM THE PAIN
AND THOSE TIMES YOU THINK THAT
IT CAN'T CHANGE,
SOMETIMES IT’S ALL YOU NEEDED
THAT PERFECT GRACE
AND THEY’RE THE DAYS THAT YOU PRAY FOR WHEN IT RAINS
I BELIEVED YOU WE’RE THE ONE
A LIGHT ACROSS THE SEA
YOU CALLED ME BABE - I CALLED YOU THE SUN,
THOSE DAYS WE WERE SO FREE
MY HAND, - YOUR FACE,
I WISH YOU HAD STAYED,
CHORUS:
SOMEWHERE INSIDE
I GET THE FEELING EVERYTHING’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I FEEL, ALRIGHT

Some Kind Of Love
03:16
|
|||
|
I CARRIED THAT CROSS
TIL SOMEBODY CALLED MY NAME
THIS TIME IF LOVE FORSAKES ME
OH THAT WOULD BE SUCH A SHAME,
OLD WAYS AINT COMING BACK
I'M REACHING FOR BETTER DAYS
LIKE A DESERT PRAYING FOR RAIN
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME KIND OF LOVE
TO CURE ALL THIS PAIN
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME KIND OF LOVE
TO WASH IT ALL AWAY
LORD I'VE SEEN TROUBLE
AND LOST MY WAY
SO LORD SEND SOME KIND OF LOVE
DOWN MY WAY
WHEN YOU'RE LOW
WHEN YOU'RE IN PAIN
AND NOBODY KNOWS
YOU STUMBLE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
REMEMBER TRUTH FLOWS LIKE A RIVER
ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI PLAIN
SO SEND OUT FOR SOME LOVE
AND HOLD OUT FOR THAT CHANGE
CHORUS
