Suggested donation of $7.Lost my job yesterday, bills are piled up unpaid, car broke down on maple street, the long walk home don’t bother me… cause everything’s okay. The roof is leaking again, my dogs jumped over the fence, neighbours bangin’ on my door, he don’t like me anymore. Have you seen my left shoe, library books overdue, then I see your smiling face, and all my problems wash away… (chorus)… cause everything’s okay… everything’s okay… everything’s okay… everything’s okay. Lost my job yesterday, I think I’ll sleep in all day, I see you dreaming peacefully, I touch your face and I can feel… (chorus)
Remember our old stomping grounds, just a place we could be ourselves and hang around… and we’d talk about the days gone by, and where we’d be a dozen years down the road… and oh don’t it feel, it was so long ago… and so many memories where did the years go… and I will always keep… each memory in reach, I just wanted you to know… (chorus)… and I will never forget, those summer days with you my friend… no I will never forget, those crazy days with you my friend. Look where we are standing today, did you ever dream thing’s could turn out this way… and just like you I’m a father too, I’ve got responsibilities… I got everything I need… and all those dreams of yesteryear… maybe its time for some of them to disappear, and look into your children’s eyes, and you will see the same fire that burned inside of you and me… man it’s right there for all to see… .and all there dreams… we can help them to achieve… (chorus)… and sometimes I do wish… we could do it all again… yeah sometimes I do wish… we could do it all again
I close my eyes and try to sleep, but thoughts of you won’t let me be and I’m yearning, and I’m burnin’… do you feel the same for me? I’ll give you all I have to give, come take my hand and tell me if you love me… cause I love you… say you do and I’ll take you away… (chorus)… and together we will learn, we’ll learn to laugh and cry… we’ll make the most of the times… me and you lady you and I… and I will never leave you, that’s something I just couldn’t do… so come close to me, and share your dreams with me. To feel your touch to see you smile, something girl I can never deny and I need you… truly need you… won’t you stay here by my side… (chorus)… so come close to me… and share your dreams with me
How I wish… how I wish I could turn back time… just to hear… hear your laughter one more time… is there serenity where your sleeping tonight?… did you hear… hear me calling you, late into the night… .(chorus)… cause I was there beside you when you cried out for me… I was there beside you when you reached out for me… I was there to guide you through the thundering sea… you were not alone. Talk to me… I still hear you… talk to me… hold my hand… I am near you… stand by me… don’t you be afraid, everything will be alright… did you hear… hear me calling you, late into the night… (chorus)… you were not alone… no no… you were not alone… no no… you were not alone… hmmm… you were not
The crystal vase is flowerless… in my mind roses bloom… haunted by the wildest of dreams, and the scent of your perfume… and how you leave me powerless… and how you leave me to assume… that all this emptiness, maybe over soon… wait a minute, was it something I said?… I still see it, your silhouette on my bed… wait a minute now, tomorrows another day… just a damn minute now, why you running… running away… (chorus)… was never meant to be… you and me… was never meant to be… you and me. I don’t see a problem here… explain to me what’s so wrong… the doubting voices you hear… may just be your own. Wait a minute… looks like rain today… give me a minute, I’ll chase the clouds away… wait a minute now… the sun is breaking free… just a damn minute now… won’t you wait around to see… (chorus)… The crystal vase is flowerless… maybe someday roses will bloom
Can call on you as a friend… can offer you a hand… I can banish all your fears, and wipe away your tears, stay with you till the end. When darkness comes for you… I’ll be standing right next to you… wish I could harness all your pain, and cast it away, this I’d do for you… (chorus)… and I’ll fight for you, stand this ground with you, give my life for you, my life for you… my life for you… give my life for you… my life for you… give my life for you… oooohh. Can I call on you as a friend… and I promise not to pretend… I can see your tears are real, and the anger you must feel, I can’t comprehend… so the bright light calls for you… guess there’s nothing more we can do… I’ll just leave you on your way, and all that remains, memories so true… (chorus)
I’m just a simple man with simple dreams and simple plans and, there’s no one else I would rather be. Play my tunes to pass the time I’ll, sing out of key the words won’t rhyme, it’s the only time, I can find some peace… my peace… I’m just a simple fool don’t, really care for any rules… spend my time… chasing a dream. If I fail if I fall I, really don’t care at all, just one chance is all I really need… (chorus)… can’t you see, that all we really need… is the will to follow our dreams… can you see what it is I see… take a chance, and follow your dreams. I’m just a simple man… ahhh… ahhh… ahhh… I’m just a simple man and I, really don’t care where I stand… wrong or right, it’s okay with me… .sometimes late at night I, wander off to the other side and let my mind take me far from here. I’m just a simple fool don’t really care for any rules, spend my time… chasing a dream… if I fail, if I fall I, really don’t care at all… just one chance is all I really need… (chorus)… I’m just a simple man
Is everything okay… I ask of you. Is there anything I can say… anything to do. Sometimes I’ve been unkind… sometimes untrue… if you read between the lines… I can prove to you… (chorus)… that sometimes I’m strong, and other times I’m weak… and sometimes the words get lost inside of me… I may be right or wrong, I may be out of sync… but I’ll cherish you as long as you let me… still I just can’t believe… your standing here by me… if I’m dreaming don’t wake me. And I will never stray… if I do will you lay a path for me… I’ll love you everyday… and I’ll share with you the love you share with me. Is everything okay… I ask of you. Is there anything I can say… anything to do… (chorus)… no I just can’t believe… your standing here by me… if I’m dreaming don’t wake me
When I grow up I wanna be like you… when I grow up I wanna be brave like you… and I could walk the world a thousand times, never will I find someone like you. When I grow up I wanna be strong like you… I wanna share my love just like you… and everyday I’ll remember you, and work so hard to be… just like you… (chorus)… If I stumble, and if I fall… I’ll think of you and I will stand so tall… It would be… a dream come true, if I could be… just like you. When I grow up I wanna laugh like you… when I grow up I wanna smile like you… and I’ll brighten every room, man it would be so cool to be like you. When I grow up I’ll never show my fear… cause I will always know that you are near… so many things I want to do, but most of all I want to be… just like you… (chorus)… just like you… just like you
And I’m sorry that I smashed your car, and I’m sorry that I lied… without wheels we won’t go far… but I still need a ride. And I’m sorry that I’m leaving you, somewhere else I need to be… tell me if your feeling blue… I’ll leave a photograph of me… (chorus)… and hey… maybe someday I’ll call… maybe someday I’ll call… maybe someday I’ll call… maybe someday I’ll call… And I’m sorry I don’t have a job, really not that kind of guy… ever since I was a child… I just managed to get by… and I’m sorry I ate all your food… I was hungry can’t you see… and I’m sorry I ain’t acting good… somewhere else I’d rather be… (chorus)… And I’m sorry you’ll be missing me… I really don’t know what to say… but aren’t you glad that you knew me… and don’t I make your day… and I’m sorry I can’t hand around… got to find my destiny… remember if your feeling down… I left a photograph of me… and hey… (chorus)
Don’t let love pass you by… I let love pass me by… If your, lost in the desert if your, lost in the desert I will… capture the rain and… pour you a river… there in the sand I will, pour you a river… if I called on you lady, if I called for you lady will you… remember me I’m the, man who once held you… then set you free, I’m the, man who once held you… don’t let love pass you by… I let love pass me by. Something’s come over me… now I understand… love ain’t blind it was there to see… each time I held your hand. Had I… told you I loved you had I… shown you I loved you maybe… you would be here and I’d… stand tall beside you… fearing no fear I would… stand tall beside you… fearing no fear I could… stand tall beside you… fearing no fear I would… stand tall beside you… fearing no fear I could
Come fly away with me, come fly so high and far away with me,
Leave your worries all behind use the theatre of your mind,
And fly away, far away with me,
Let’s take a ride and defy all reality,
We can kiss the sky and see what the eagles see
There’s a whole new world to explore,
We can open so many doors,
Just fly away, far away with me,
And in the morning you’ll wake up with a smile,
And you’ll know, it’s more than just a dream.
(Instrumental)
Let me welcome you with open arms into my dream,
Let me take your hand I’ll show you sights you won’t believe,
Cause there’s some magic way up here,
All your troubles will disappear,
Just fly away, far away with me,
And in the morning you’ll wake up with a smile, and you’ll know,
It’s more than just a dream.
(Instrumental)
Come fly away far away with me,
Won’t you fly away far away with me, ya,
Come fly away high away with me ya, just fly away
Far away with me…
Ever since I was a child I dreamed there’s something more out there for me,
Somewhere deep inside a hunger to survive to be the best that I can be
And one day soon I’m gonna some day,
Someday all the world will see,
Someday soon I’m gonna leave this all behind
And live my dream cause I believe…
(Instrumental)
I paid all my dues and I put in the time,
I know my day is near,
Pushed through all the pain fell down got up again,
Showed no mercy no fear,
Look into my eyes a fire’s burnin bright,
I want a taste of victory,
Don’t stand in my way,
Cause I am not afraid to bring to life a childhood dream.
And one day soon I’m gonna someday,
Someday all the world will see,
Someday soon I’m gonna leave this all behind
Live my dream cause I believe…
Someday soon, I’m gonna someday soon, someday all the world will see,
Someday soon I’m gonna someday soon, someday everyone will see,
(Instrumental)
Ever since I was a child I dreamed there’s something more out there for me,
Somewhere deep inside a hunger to survive to be the best that I can be,
And one day soon I’m gonna someday,
Someday all the world will see,
Someday soon I’m gonna leave this all behind,
Live my dream cause I believe…
Someday soon I’m gonna someday soon, someday all the world will see,
Someday soon I’m gonna someday soon, someday everyone will see, x2
YA!
Well it’s early Monday morning,
I just wanna go back to sleep,
Alarm clocks calling better be on my way,
Drag my feet to my old school,
A place I don’t wanna be,
Sneak in through the back unseen unhurt,
And there in the shadows I wait for the morning bell to ring,
And I close my eyes wish that I could be…
Anyone but me…
(Instrumental)
And the lunch bells still ringing as I race on down the stairs to find a newer secret hide away,
I can hear him calling yelling searching everywhere
And oh my God I’ve never felt so afraid.
And I can hear the children laughing playing endlessly and I just close my eyes and wish that I could be.
Anyone but me…
I wish that I could be anyone but me… I wish that I could be…
And it’s Friday after school I can’t wait to go home,
And when the coast is clear I race on down the road,
I can see my drive way hear my brothers playing games and their jumping laughing calling out my name, and I’m free and not afraid as we laugh the day away
And for this moment in time I don’t want to be anyone but me…
I don’t want to be anyone but me… I don’t want to be…
Anyone but me…
I guess I must have been crazy to fall in love with you,
You life is carved in stone and there’s nothing I can do,
Can you hear me calling, calling out your name,
Late at night I reach for you but I must be dreaming again…
So let them choose your destiny,
Show your smile and hide your tears,
My love for you they’ll never take from me,
I’ll be here, I’ll always be here…
(Instrumental)
I guess I must have been crazy to take a chance with you,
Two lives two worlds apart, on a road that breaks in two,
Maybe you can’t hear me maybe you feel alone…
Close your eyes and realize my hearts forever yours
So let them choose your destiny,
Show your smile and hide your tears,
My love for you they’ll never take from me,
I’ll be here, I’ll always be here.
So let them choose your destiny, show your smile and hide your tears.
My love for you they’ll never take from me I’ll be here, I’ll always be here.
I’ll be here, I’ll always be here… I’ll always be here… I’ll always be here…
Main tera hi saN, Main tera hi saN, Main tera hi, Main tera hi haN,
Main tera hi…rahanga…rahanga…rahanga…
And I will always be yours, I will always be yours.
I will always be yours, I will always be yours, I will always be yours…
And I will always be here, I will always be here, I will always be here, I will always be here, I will always be here…
Ya I will always be here, I will always be here, I will always be here, I will always be here,
I… will… always… be… here…
Main tera hi saN,
Main tera hi…saN…
Lost my job yesterday, Bills are piled up unpaid,
Car broke down on Maple Street, the long walk home don’t bother me,
Cause everything’s okay,
The roof is leaking again, my dogs jumped over the fence,
Neighbours banging on my door, He don’t like me anymore,
Have you seen my left shoe, library books overdue,
Then I see your smiling face, and all my problems wash away,
Everything’s okay, x4
(Instrumental)
Lost my job yesterday, I think I’ll sleep in all day,
I see you’re dreaming peacefully, I touch our face and I can feel
Everything’s okay x4
How can this be, we both work so hard and barely make ends meet,
Through all this time we stood our line, counted nickels saved our dimes,
Money would come and just like that it would go,
Remember my dream where I swore I’d make us rich beyond our needs,
And my blue guitar would take us far I’d be playing songs for movie stars,
Well, came back down to reality,
But look how far we’ve come, look at all we’ve done.
The road ahead might twist and turn and fade away but we’ve always found a way home,
Ya, we’ve always found a way home.
(Instrumental)
I’m not ashamed, I can wear the same old blue jeans every day,
And we may not have a place of our own.
But the things we’ve got are the things we love and maybe that’s all we really need,
I think I understand, that there never really was a master plan,
If we live our life one day at a time everything will be just fine
And never forget our journey to here,
Cause look how far we’ve come, look at all we’ve done.
The road ahead might twist and turn and fade away but we’ve always found a way home.
Ya we’ve always found a way home,
Ya we’ve always found a way home.
The earth came up to me like a beggar on a street,
Shabby clothes and wounded soul and tatters on her feet,
I knew I should have helped her,
But I turned and looked away.
A thousand one excuses for not reaching out that day it’s not my fault it’s too complex there’s nothing I can do, someone else can help her I’ve got better things to do.
Earth, it’s our home, she nurtures everyone and keeps us whole, earth ya it’s our home, she needs our help to heal her wounded soul ya.
Earth is our home and she needs our help today, the sands of time are running out to keep the end at bay, earth is our home so don’t just turn away the future is in your hands and everyone must pay
Earth, it’s our home, she nurtures everyone and keeps us whole,
Earth ya it’s our home, she needs our help to heal her wounded soul ya.
(Instrumental)
Mother Nature’s calling she needs our help today, let’s not bite the hand that feeds us let’s find a better way, to keep the air and oceans clean, for our children as their growing to leave the planet strong and green for generations coming,
Earth it’s our home she nurtures everyone and keeps us whole
Earth ya it’s our home, she needs our help to heal her wounded soul x2
Earth came to me like a beggar on the street I reached out and took her by the hand.
Lonely, feeling lonely, lately you don’t know me
Those big brown eyes, they hypnotise, I toss and turn,
There’s no sleep at night, lonely, feeling lonely,
Forever, forever, forever lost without you.
Show me, won’t you show me, your sensual smile the one that drives me wild,
A thousand times, you cross my mind, emotions high, feel I can touch the sky,
Show me, won’t you show me,
Forever, forever, forever lost without you.
Time is ticking away, wonder where you might be, is that you walking by,
Am I still in a dream.
Hold me, wont you hold me, make love to me, mmm so tenderly,
Hold me, wont you hold me,
Forever, forever, forever lost without you.
Forever, forever, forever lost without you.
Come fly away with me, come fly so high and far away with me,
Leave your worries all behind use the theatre of your mind,
And fly away, far away with me,
Let’s take a ride and defy all reality,
We can kiss the sky and see what the eagles see
There’s a whole new world to explore,
We can open so many doors,
Just fly away, far away with me,
And in the morning you’ll wake up with a smile,
And you’ll know, it’s more than just a dream.
(Instrumental)
Let me welcome you with open arms into my dream,
Let me take your hand I’ll show you sights you won’t believe,
Cause there’s some magic way up here,
All your troubles will disappear,
Just fly away, far away with me,
And in the morning you’ll wake up with a smile, and you’ll know,
It’s more than just a dream.
Was it only yesterday, the world seemed a different place,
And everything was moving along just fine.
And outside on a sunny day we watched your little one play,
There was not a worry on your mind, at all…
And in a bar we drank some beers, the band was killing our ears, some old man played the spoons so out of time,
And we tried so hard not to laugh but the feeling would not pass,
We laughed so hard tears rolled down our eyes…
And I won’t forget your endless smile, no I won’t forget that endless smile.
(Instrumental)
And it’s hard to comprehend why your story had to end, so many empty pages left behind,
And I look up to the sky and ask the question why, you take the best, leave fools like me behind,
And I won’t forget, your endless smile,
No I won’t forget that endless smile.
No I won’t forget that endless smile.
Stay tuned, lyrics for The Man Cold will hopefully be coming soon.
