Bridge Across Forever

I: Motherless Children Have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night? You wish you could start dreaming in clouds of white But everything could change tonight When you duel with the devil living in your mind Time reveals nothing - it's a suicide love affair Whispers in the darkness and revolution in the air Will you see or look behind When you duel with the devil living in your mind Motherless children Wandering nowhere Feels like there's miles to go Reaching for water Longing to go there Flooding into your soul Into your soul Do you know the difference between who and what you are Will you ride off in the distance like some highway star Will you try until you make it good Or will you sell your body down in hollywood Motherless children Wandering nowhere Feels like there's miles to go Reaching for water Longing to go there Flooding into your soul Into your soul... II: Walk Away There's a time to understand There's a time to see the sun There's a time for makin up There's a time to come together Fall into the learning curve Feeding on experience Never turn your back on me Never paint it black by numbers It's so easy to waste away It's a simple operation Far too many givin' in Fall into dark temptations Everybody needs a King Everybody needs a Captain When you hear the fallen angels sing in your private Armaggedon And you walk away (With nowhere to go) For another day (Turn the lights down low) But you'll never know (While you walk away) When you walk away with nowhere to go Everybody had their doubts So they tried to pull me under Everytime i felt the strain Someone sent a sense of wonder Everybody walked the hard road In the dark they felt the grind Everybody heard the thunder No one ever read the signs And you walk away (With nowhere to go) For another day (Turn the lights down low) But you'll never know (While you walk away) When you walk away with nowhere to go III: Silence of the Night Have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night? You wish you could start dreaming but it's always black and white Looking for that big sky that'll finally make it right Well everything could change tonight IV: You're Not Alone Nighttime falls it came too fast Down the halls tiptoeing past Out come the shadows of life itself To clap along and wish you well Motherless children Wandering nowhere Look up you're almost home Reaching for water Longing to know you're not alone V: Almost Home Have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night? You wish you could start dreaming in black and white Well everything could change tonight When you duel with the devil living in your mind Motherless children Wandering nowhere Feels like there's miles to go Reaching for water Longing to go there Flooding into your soul Into your soul...

I: If She Runs If she runs, let her run, run, run Just hope that she comes back If she breaks let her break, break, break Let apologies attract And is she's free let her be, let her be She's not in such bad company The big man's still got her name written on the wall If she cries let her cry, cry, cry 'Till there isn't anymore If she cracks, let her crack, crack, crack If that's what che's looking for And if she waits, let her wait, wait, wait You'll have to leave this one to fate It can't ever be too late, when she comes to call It's Hard -- Living with such uncertainty It's Hard -- climbing the statue of liberty It's Hard -- calming the beatle inside of me It's Hard -- missing my max and melody II: Mr. Wonderful Her lips were ruby red She had a pretty head Not even once did she miss Sunday school Remember what mama said, "Stick to the rules" This boy was something else Someone she knew so well Echoes of snakes in paradise Saw the strangest fire burning in his eyes. His name was wonderful And it's wonderful, just to be near him His name was majesty And his majesty's requesting your presence He took her for a ride Into the starless night Talked about far away place he's been Could take her down to the city of sin "Grab it while you are young trust me there's nothing wrong But she feard what was 'round the bend" Said "thank you, but no thank's, 'cause I've got a friend" His name was wonderful And it's wonderful, just to be near him His name was majesty And his majesty's requesting your presence III: Lost and Found Pt. 1 Don't you think if you could be lost Don't you think you can be found Don't you think if you were the world, you'd turn it around Don't you start look behind Don't better stand up 'cause this is your time Don't you think that you'd better start changing your mind IV: Temple of The Gods In the Temple of the Gods We can get it on In the Temple of the Gods We will make our home Far from these Boulevards We will plunge headlong In the Temple of the Gods We will sing this song Give all the reasons that you know Slide down where the time moves nice and slow Ease back and relax No figures and no fax Awakening the stranger in your soul In the Temple of the Gods We can get it on In the Temple of the Gods We will make our home Far from these Boulevards We will plunge headlong In the Temple of the Gods We will sing this song V: Motherless Children/If She Runs (Reprise) Left the countryside for the city She resides now on the second floor No more gardening in the backyard Busy keepin' the wolves from the door Motherless children, ain't going nowhere Running in circles, time after time Careless, confused, frozen, faithless Dreaming this dream to ease our minds And if she runs Let her run Come on 'cause now the time has come The big man's got the mother and the son Written on the wall Don't want to hear it now.....

There's a bridge made of light That crosses between death and life Where shadows walk in the sun And desperate lovers run One day a child and an angel Stood on either side Of a magic river That there was no crossing But as they tried The water began to rise Then they raised their eyes And as the river fell away They built a bridge across forever Between tomorrow and today There is a bridge across forever I've had this dream all my life That doesn't live in black and white It has no end it just begins In distant sands and magenta winds And my love she is standing by the side Of a magic river that there is no crossing Maybe someday when our spirits begins to rise And light fills our eyes We will meet again someday On the bridge across forever I know that we will find our way To the bridge across forever Between tomorrow and today There is a bridge across forever I know that we will find our way To the bridge across forever.

I. Sleeping Wide Awake Once, not so long ago I lived far below Where you are I didn't even know Home was far a way I was sleeping wide-awake Breaking down Waiting for the sound But I can hear it now Is it all too late 'Cause I would sell my dreams If I could be awake If I could be awake There - waling into walls Piercing through the pain Here we are Reaching through the rain I almost caught a glimpse To feel that Sunday high I would fall This makes no sense at all But I can hear it now Not a single word And though I'd strain my voice I cannot be heard Outside the smile The insider breaks And I would give my dreams If I could be awake Whatever you're looking for Don't ever start looking behind Whatever you want to change You better start changing your mind 'Cause everything can be done Stand up 'cause this is your time II. Hanging in the Balance Go where you're going to You can rule your mind You will not decay Decay is always waiting You've got nowhere to go So you look behind What you sought to find Is always fading Wish to be wishless Less can live evermore More doesn't satisfy The deeper meaning Lose if you want to find Find what you're looking for For all your dreams can live Live as if to satisfy the meaning Whatever you're looking for Don't ever start looking behind Whatever you want to change You better start changing your mind 'Cause everything can be done Stand up 'cause this is your time Drink in the big dream Dream but you have to wait Wait 'til you get it right Write down every letter Paint with the broadest strokes Stroke through the deepest sea See what you have in mind To make it better Get in on the ground floor Floor to ceiling is so high High will become the low It will make sense Want always wants some more More is never enough Enough is enough Remember life is hanging in the balance Whatever you're looking for Don't ever start looking behind Whatever you want to change You better start changing your mind 'Cause everything can be done Stand up 'cause this is your time III. Lost and Found Pt. 2 Don't you think if you could be lost Don't you think you can be found Don't you think if you were the world, you'd turn it around Whatever you're looking for Don't ever start looking behind Whatever you want to change You better start changing your mind 'Cause everything can be done Stand up 'cause this is your time IV. Awakening the Stranger In the time it takes to be lost or found In the wake of something not for the crowd Awakening the stranger in your soul It isn't always quite that easy Awakening the stranger in your soul All the rage the wolrd goes on outside It's alright come in here - it's safe to hide Awakening the stranger in your soul Is more than just a thought or feeling There is no wordly danger beyond control Awakening the stranger in your soul V. Slide Give up all the reasons that you know Slide down where the time move nice and slow Ease back and relax No figures and no fax Awakening the stranger in your soul It's alright to give up your control (come in where it's safe-there is no I) Move along we've paid your expressway toll (look at all the others floating high) It's the 5:00 am alarm No time to use your charm Surrender is the only way to go Awakening the stranger in your soul No thought for yourself you just let go VI. Stranger in Your Soul When you come to make love, your only goal Words cannot describe the feeling Awakening the stranger in your soul From the shadow to the deepest meaning When you come to make love your only goal Words cannot describe the feeling Now we're here in full sight - we can be whole Let's dive and never hit the ceiling There - walking into walls Piercing through the pain Here we are Reaching through the rain I almost caught a glimpse Brighter than the sky A child grown A stranger coming home And I can hear it now Every single word And when I strain my voice I will be assured Outside the storm But here the big break That I might chance to dream That I be awake Awakening the stranger in your soul
