See yourself beneath blue skies In a place much like paradise The sound of music fills the air There’s no need to worry here What I see with open eyes Is a place that’s far from paradise So many people with so much to fear There’s a need to worry here This is the world we live in It’s the only one we’re given The world, world we live in Oh, we’ve got to start believin’ The world, world we live in And you know that together we can change it The world, world we live in Let’s change the world we live in Now I feel like we’ve got the strength And the power to communicate Are we just going to stand and wait Till the winds of war blow our dreams away This is the world we live in It’s the only one we’re given The world, world we live in Oh, we’ve got to start believin’ The world, world we live in And you know that together we can change it The world, world we live in Let’s change the world we live in This is the world we live in It’s the only one we’re given The world, world we live in Oh yeah, we’ve got to start believin’ The world, world we live in And you know that together we can change it The world, world we live in Let’s change the world we live in The world, world we live in Oh, we’ve got to start believin’ The world, world we live in And you know that together we can change it The world, world we live in Let’s change the world we live in

She was cool and tall, a living doll I fell head over heels, no chance at all She had a walk so hot, like a fireball My friends said, boy, you’re gonna learn You play with fire and you’re gonna get burned I guess I learned the hard way Where there’s smoke there’s fire You gotta take the heat, if you wanna play I wanna play Hey, I guess I learned the hard way Ooo, do me the hard way A lady like that don’t come along every day Well it happened so fast, like a hurricane My head’s still spinning and my heart’s in flames But now she’s gone and it’s not the same My friends said, boy, have you gone mad But I can’t forget, I want her so bad I guess I learned the hard way Where there’s smoke there’s fire You gotta take the heat, if you wanna play You wanna play Hey, I guess I learned the hard way But a lesson like that No, you don’t learn no other way I guess I learned the hard way But a feeling this strong don’t come along every day, no way Hey, I guess I learned the hard way Oh, so give me the hard way A lady like that, don’t come along every day She was cool and tall, a living doll I fell head over heels, no chance at all Well it happened so fast, like a hurricane My head’s still spinning and my heart’s in flames I guess I learned the hard way Where there’s smoke there’s fire You gotta take the heat, if you wanna play I wanna play I guess I learned the hard way A lady like that don’t come along every day No, you don’t learn no other way Where there’s smoke there’s fire You gotta take the heat, if you wanna play I guess I learned the hard way But a feeling this strong don’t come along every day, no way Hey, I guess I learned the hard way Oh, so give me the hard way A lesson like that, don’t learn any other way

Billy was a young man Who wanted to do things right But when the sun went down And the gang came around He’d go out and steal the night Running in the fast track Nobody’s little boy He told me, reach out your hand Grab as much as you can And make one hell of a noise Hide your heart away for a rainy day Till someone says Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave your hell behind you Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave it all behind you Robin was a young girl Read her teenage magazine She fell in love with the star With a golden guitar Now it’s over, short and sweet Hide your heart away for a rainy day Till someone says Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave your hell behind you Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave it all behind you Now Billy had the last laugh But nobody got the joke But I understand with a rope in his hand His misery would go up in smoke Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave your hell behind you Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave it all behind you Come on, escape the hell No one will ever find you Come on, escape with me And leave your hell behind you

I should have known this time But now it’s all too late You pulled the perfect crime You stole my heart then stole away I call your telephone You won’t answer, you’re no alone Heartache calling Love on the line Tears start falling One more time Why did I lose my head I should have slipped away Yeah, it was sweet surrender And baby, how did you make me feel this way I was too blind to see Your love was never meant for me Heartache calling Love on the line Tears start falling One more time And so I return Full circle, I never learn I was too blind to see Your love was never meant for me Heartache calling Love on the line Tears start falling One more time Heartache calling Love on the line Tears start falling One more time I’m calling for you baby, it’s a heartache I’m falling for you baby, it’s a heartache

There’s east and west And then there’s you and i Two people not allowed To cross the line But I don’t understand Why we can’t walk hand in hand And now I just can’t see How we’re gonna get closer When you’re so far out of reach Tear it down, bring it down The wall that stands between you and me Tear it down, to the ground Just a little freedom is all that we need We stand apart Afraid to make a move Who’s right, who’s wrong It’s just a point of view But I don’t understand Why we can’t walk hand in hand And now I just can’t see How we’re gonna get closer We’re so far out of reach Tear it down, bring it down The wall that stands between you and me Tear it down, to the ground Just a little freedom is all that we need Tear it down, bring it down The wall that stands between you and me Tear it down, to the ground Just a little freedom is all that we need Everybody in Moscow to the streets of Berlin Everybody in Chine in the streets of Beijing Everybody in Warsaw and Hungary, too South Africa to South America Beirut, Tehran, all the way to Lebanon L.A., D.C. to New York City

I met a fallen angel Standing alone by the side of the road Heading out of town She said she’d just fallen from the sky She said, I hate to complain But it sure looks like rain And I, I could use a ride and she said Take me back where love lives Take me back tonight I’ll be your vision I’ll be your passion I’ll be your reason to try Your guiding light We rode for miles, never said a word She stared at the sly, the clouds in her eyes Rained one single tear Then all at once she woke from her dream She looked at my face And her eyes seemed to trace All my hopes and fears and I said Take me back where love lives Take me back tonight I’ll be your vision I’ll be your passion I’ll be your reason to try Take me back where love lives Take me back tonight I’ll be your vision I’ll be your passion I’ll be your reason to try Take me back where love lives Take me back tonight I’ll be your vision I’ll be your passion I’ll be your reason to try Your guiding light

Alone Out on their own No one to care Only the streets call their name Young Caught in a life With people who deal but have no shame Afraid To break from the crowd To take someone’s dare Unwilling to face the unknown Confused Lost in two worlds They stand on the edge and fight alone And all the children have hearts of gold It’s just the world that may turn them cold They have the will to survive But to stay alive, they’d sell their soul Cry a tear, don’t turn away These innocent hearts that bleed A thousand tears to wipe away They won’t cry anymore if you’d believe Cry a tear, don’t turn away These innocent hearts that bleed A thousand tears to wipe away They won’t cry anymore if you’d believe Free To walk down the road To never look back To turn from the easy way out Strong At such a young age They see what their life is all about And all the children have hearts of gold It’s just the world that may turn them cold They have the will to survive But to stay alive, they’d sell their soul Cry a tear, don’t turn away These innocent hearts that bleed A thousand tears to wipe away They won’t cry anymore if you’d believe Cry a tear, don’t turn away These innocent hearts that bleed A thousand tears to wipe away They won’t cry anymore if you’d believe Cry a tear, don’t turn away These innocent hearts that bleed A thousand tears to wipe away They won’t cry anymore if you’d believe Cry a tear, don’t turn away These innocent hearts that bleed A thousand tears to wipe away They won’t cry anymore if you’d believe

Summer’s gone And the heat of passion is cooled Wasn’t long Until I saw how love had me fooled The fiery nights Insincere in the light Still I went on Leaving all I had behind Summer’s gone Must have been dreaming And if I’m wrong You’ve got to believe that I wasn’t strong I never meant to fall There you were Just saving my place in your heart Had your fears Believed that I’d gone too far You stood alone You watched while the world kept turning Still I went on Leaving all I had behind Now the mystery’s gone I should have known all along So if you’d only let me Then I would give you the world Summer’s gone Must have been dreaming And if I’m wrong You’ve got to believe that I wasn’t strong I never meant to fall Summer’s gone I must have been dreaming I know I was wrong I never meant, never meant to fall Summer’s gone, I must have been dreaming Summer’s gone Summer’s gone

Everybody take your place All aboard the paper chase Synchronized insanity Is the order of the day Fortune hunters watch the scenes Of broken lives from limosines Then drive away escaping Primal screams Skyline scraper, reaching for the sun Future shaper, of the many and the one Psycho racer, oh he runs the mental maze Find the secret way in this urban daze Watch the strangers passing you Some have no face, some have two Sterilized in apathy Never seeing any clue Prostitutes and debutantes Trade in t heir needs to get their wants Climbing social ladders to the top Skyline scraper, reaching for the sun Future shaper, of the many and the one Psycho racer, oh he runs the mental maze Find the secret way Skyline scraper, reaching for the sun Future shaper, of the many and the one Psycho racer, oh he runs the mental maze Faceless stranger, wander through the haze Jury chaser, take the case that pays Find the secret way in this urban daze
