If we can turn a leaf then we can flick a switch
We can open up a door to our own consciousness
If we can write a song then we can write a wrong
Mobilise benevolence, make people belong
If we can utilise the power of our minds
We’d open up realities we never could find
If we can lend our arms out to those in need
We’d understand the truth about why we should lead
We all live in this crazy world
Take a swipe, just say the word
We defend inequality
A statute of hypocrisy
If we can build a house then we can build a home
If we can water plants then maybe we’ll also grow
If we can spare our time for every desperate soul
The well won’t run dry and your heart won’t go cold
We all live in this crazy world
Take a swipe, just say the word
We defend inequality
A statute of hypocrisy
We know, we know, we’re not home now
But we know, we know, we can grow now
And we know, we know, we’re not home now
But we know, we know, we can grow
And we know we know we’re not home now
But we know, we know, we can grow now
And we know, we know, we’re not home now
But we know, we know, we can grow

The Grey

With and epiphany
Life makes more sense to me
The letter is written
And it is plain to see
And with perspective shown
My spirit’s strong as bone
The sinner a saviour
Count your behaviour
Rooted and grown
Not everything is bad in life
Not everything is gay
Not everything is black and white
You need to see the grey
Like blood from an orange
Like juice from the heart
It pains me to love you
It drains from my art
But shoulder to shoulder
And cheek to cheek
We’ll climb up the mountain
Problems surmounted
En route to the peak
Not everything is bad in life
Not everything is gay
Not everything is black and white
You need to see the grey
Not everything is bad in life
Not everything is gay
Not everything is black and white
You need to see the grey
Not everything is bad in life
Not everything is gay
Not everything is black and white
You need to see the grey

I’m pleased to see you smilin’
Smile away my love
I see the stars alignin’
As I catch your gaze
So dance with me
We’ll waltz upon the moon
Je t'adore ma jolie lune
They say the world
Hangs on your every word
When your smile says you’re in love
They say your kiss
Barely touches lips
Before the world explodes
It’s good to be beside you
Spend the evening long
You fulfil and excite me
Make me feel so young
So stay with me
We’ll take the whole world on
Toi é moi en refera la monde
They say the world
Hangs on your every word
When your smile says you’re in love
They say your kiss
Barely touches lips
Before the world explodes
They say it’s heard
In the song of birds
When your voice says you’re in love
You mean so much
Your caress and touch
We should let our feelings flow
Flow, let our feelings flow

The Best of Us

It’s only two on Sunday
I’ll take my time till Monday
You’re on the wire forever
Why do you always know best?
I’ll follow clouds an hour
I’ll pick some pretty flowers
You’re screaming something, nothing
Why don’t you give it a rest?
All of the time you’re just making a sound
Children occupying the lost and found
Something for nothing, nothing for something
Is that society’s best?
We pray to the god of fortune
We ask for larger portions
Just what happens with rising oceans?
Is humanity facing a test?
We act in double standards
Selling goods and then firing them backwards
Are our leaders really method actors?
How did they rise to the crest?
All of the time you’re just making a sound
Children occupying the lost and found
Something for nothing, nothing for something
Is that society’s best?
We can only make the change if we listen to the breeze
We can only turn the world if we truly desire to be free
Life’s too short to spend wasting time on material wants and greed
Life is long for those who learn to respect the world for free
We know that we’re worth the change
We know that we’re an evolving race
It’s time to consolidate our links
It’s time for us to sit and think
Just think
Just think
Just think
Just think, think, think, think, think, think, think
Just think, think, think, think, think, think, think
Just think, think, think, think, think, think, think

Take my hand
Trust me I’m your biggest fan
See this out
You’ll leave this room with fewer doubts
See the rain
That lightly falls on your window pane
It’s not in vain
I’m sure that sky’ll smile again
And it’s overhead and it’s up above
Those colours shine for you my love
Taking turns to dodge the rain
Not saying goodbyes but see you agains
Moving on and up and out
Twist and shake and scream and shout
Read the signs
And read between those narrow lines
Take your pick
If it’s me you want, then you’d better be quick
Silence stands
Like new-born innocence, like lambs
Give it your ear
And you’ll hear its beauty, loud and clear
And it’s overhead, there flies a dove
It flies its path for you, my love
Taking turns to dodge the rain
Not saying goodbyes but see you agains
Moving on and up and out
Twist and shake and scream and shout
Taking turns to dodge the rain
Not saying goodbyes but see you agains
Moving on and up and out
Twist and shake and scream and shout
See the rainbow’s child
Running free and wild
Hear the sunshine’s song
Make sure you sing along
See the rainbow’s child
Running free and wild
Hear the sunshine’s song
Make sure you sing along
