Carry On
03:24
|
|||
When the darkness drifts around you
You cannot find your way
Your hope is gone
And floods of tears
Have washed your dreams away
You can't go on
When the shadows of the past
Come creeping round your door
And all your good intentions
Lie broken on floor
On the floor
Carry on
Carry on
Freedom is a word
That I've heard you use before
But how can you be free
With demons breaking down your door?
They're back for more!
When poverty or sickness
Seem like your only friends
Life doesn't seem worth living
And you wish that it would end
That it would end
It's said:
'The darkest hour is just before the dawn'
So just keep hanging in there
It's not long till the morn
A brand new morn
Carry on
Carry on
Open up the door
Let the light come flooding through
Haven't you a place within your heart
For something new
For something new?
Don't give up now
Never give up now
Carry on
Carry on

Stranger In This World
04:30
|
|||
I've been travelling through this world
And I've seen all kind of things
That I don't wanna see no more
I can't seem to settle down
As I move from town to town
I feel like a stranger in this world
There has to be a better place for me
Where I can find some peace of mind
When I get there then I'll know
To call that place my home
Cos that's the place where I am meant to be
I've been hitching with this load
Trying to get on down the road
I've been standing in the afternoon sun
And the folks that pass me by
They don't wanna let me ride
Cos they ain't seen my type before
There has to be a better place for me...
Now there's a train at 3:05
Think I'll hop a car and ride
It's all bound for Canaan, I know
And there'll be no more turning back
Sure I'll meet you on the track
Somewhere down along the line
There has to be a better place for me...

The Open Road
05:47
|

As clear as the open road
I carry a heavy load
I offered my hand to you
You closed the door
You're not who you think you are
But I know just what you are
We're two different people
But one and the same
I don't understand it
I can't seem to find out why
There's no way around it
Though I try, try, try
Tomorrow's a long, long time
And we don't have that much time
Let's settle our scores right now
Before the dawn
Cause wars start within the mind
One word spoken out of line
Come down from your castle walls
I will not fight
I don't understand it
I can't seem to find out why
There's no way around it
Though I try, try, try
As clear as the open road
You carry a heavy load
I offered my hand to you
You closed the door
Closed the door

Here Comes Love
03:05
|
|||
Down by the water
Where the trees stand so tall
Here we sit and remember
Laugh at it all
Days that were cruel
Some that were kind
We were bruised
We were scarred
We were battered and blind
Now here comes love
Feel it everywhere
Here comes love
The feeling's here
The feeling's everywhere
When I was younger
I used to live alone
In a world of my own making
Where I could feel at home
Love was a thing
I was always looking for
I would walk round for hours
Go banging on your door
Now I've found love
Feel it everywhere
Here comes love
The feeling's here the feeling's everywhere
Everywhere
Here comes love

Carry Me Home
02:58
|
|||
Build me a house
With four strong walls
Foundations deep under all
I have lost everything I used to own
Carry me home
Sing me a song
And sing it well
A strong refrain
That I can yell!
I have lost everything I used to own
Carry me home
I don't need sympathy
I don't need lies
No more mystery
No surprise
I have lost everything I used to own
Carry me home
Carry me home
Just carry me home
