I can't wait for another day Now that I've turned a new corner in life Movin' through this change of season It's the same old song, for a different reason Looking back on the years gone by Into the past for a moment in time Moving in that rolling thunder The memories that drag you under Deeper into the days of wonder Dreams dissolve without a sound Love can turn the world around Or leave us torn assunder These are the days, the days of wonder After all is said and done That's all we need to know Holding on to the reins of emotion Waiting to turn a new page in our lives Driven by a sense of freedom That are given to the laws of reason [And give into the laws of reason] Can we see this could go on forever Now that we drink from the waters of life Waking to the change of season Turn the tide and start believing Dreams dissolve without a sound Love can turn the world around Or leave us torn assunder These are the days, the days of wonder After all is said and done That's all we need to know Oohh, oohh... Dreams dissolve without a sound Love can turn the world around Or leave us torn assunder These are the days, the days of wonder After all is said and done That's all we need to know I can't wait for another day Now we take the time to show Movin' through this change of seasons Give the love we have to grow Looking back on the years gone by Take the time to let love show Moving in like rolling thunder Take the time to say hello. ************* 2. Light In My Life (Squire/Sherwood) Setting out on the open road Leaving your life behind Where you're going you just don't know But you know you're sure to find It's true what they say It's darkest before the dawn Hey Hey You You are the light in my life The only one I need to get by You are the only one who understands When life seems like a lonely walk Down a long and narrow hall You carry on with no end in sight [You carry on when no end's in sight] Searchin' for a sign But the feeling cannot be denied anymore [And the feelings inside cannot be denied anymore...] Hey Hey You You are the light in my life Now that you're standing here by my side The only one who understands Hey Hey You You give me all of your love You give me all I need to get by The only one Hey Hey You Understand me Do you understand me? Hey Hey You You are the light in my life The only one I need to get by You give me all of your love Now that you're standing here by my side You are the light in my life The only one I need to get by You are the only one You are the only one Hey Hey You Hey Hey ************* 3.

No Rhyme (Squire/Sherwood) You can make the best of moments in life You can take the path that leads from darkness Can you feel the power of the sunlight? Our future is full of hope and promise When you've given up feeling lost in the maze Wondering, wonder when you'll find your way home If ever We can never stop the hands of time On Earth as it is in Heaven No need to fear the other side [Never fear the other side] You have always wondered what it feels like You have always known the truth that's in sight Can you feel the hour is approaching? When you add it up, we are locked in the cage All prisoners, lost until we're found On Earth as it is in Heaven Stop the hands of time On Earth as it is in Heaven No need to fear the other side On Earth as it is in Heaven Stop the hands of time On Earth as it is in Heaven No need to fear the other side No reason No rhyme No reason No rhyme On Earth as it is in Heaven No reason No rhyme On Earth ************* 5. Lonesome Trail (Squire/Sherwood) Riding the wind We drift along Moving across the desert land Into the night Shadows dissolve Nomads wandering through the Sands of space and time The spirit of adventure Raised within our hearts The time is now The time has come To journey farther from the sun Let's not hold back We've just begun To understand our destiny We can carry on forever Driven by the spirit in our hearts Leaving the world behind We travel on through silence With only the stars to guide us Along the lonesome trail Never to return One million miles of silence With only the stars to guide us Along the lonesome trail The lonesome trail For distant lands We set our course To sail across the ocean We've come so far We can't turn back It's a test of our devotion As we race into the future Expectations grow within our hearts We rode the storm We've braved the seas This passes from our history Into the skies The great beyond To reach escape velocity We can carry on forever Driven by the hope within our hearts Leaving the world behind We travel on through silence With only the stars to guide us Along the lonesome trail Never to return One million miles of silence With only the stars to guide us Along the lonesome trail The lonesome trail We can carry on forever Share the universe together Is this the life that we chose for ourselves Travel along the lonesome trail [Traveling on the Lonesome Trail] The lonesome trail The lonesome trail Leaving the world behind We travel on through silence With only the stars to guide us Along the lonesome trail The lonesome trail The lonesome trail The lonesome trail The lonesome trail With only the stars to guide us Along the lonesome trail The lonesome trail ************* 6. The More We Live (Squire/Sherwood) You and I can change the world The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know From this moment on we share the world The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow The spirit of imagination can lead us through the dark The more we see, the more we try, the more we show The evidence of our confusion, life has left its mark The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide As we walk into tomorrow Turning away from the path we know Holding the future with our hands We carry the weight of the world we go [we grow] It's up to you and I we hold the key, we hold the answers All our thoughts of doubt and fear are leaving one by one The more we live, the more we learn, the more we know For each of us the road is clear, life has just begun The more we give, the more we love, the more we grow It's time to reach the goals we've set for ourselves The more we fear, the more we lie, the more we hide All we need is just to believe in ourselves We face the truth, we see it clear, with no disguise Cast away our doubt and sorrow Turning away from the past we know The universe at our command Conserving the fate of the world we grow Together you and I we hold the key to all the answers Let go Let go Let go ************* 7.

Watching The World (Squire/Sherwood) One day we all may see a new sunrise One day we all may learn to comprimise Standing on common ground Building our relations for tomorrow One day we all may feel the changing tide One day the earth may no longer provide [One day the Earth may wander, divide] Can we continue to live and deny [Can we continue to live and to die] Innocent people who don't have the right [ride] Leave it to decide the policy makers of tomorrow [Weavers who decide the policy makers of tomorrow] How long can we hold burmles(?) at bay [baubles] Keep turning away Pay no mind to the lives thrown away Keep fanning the flames Are we chained to a dark world turning around Are we enslaved by our own evolution Watching the world Watching our world running down Are we amazed by our own contributions Watching the world Watching our world running down One day we all may open up our eyes One day we'll stop long enough to realize One world is all that we have to divide We're holding on to sacred ground [Holding our own sacred ground] Building our defenses for tomorrow One day peace will inspire every race One day everything falls into place Leave us to decide the policy shapers of tomorrow [policy shakers of tomorrow] Are we enslaved by our own evolution Watching the world Watching our world running down Are we amazed by our own contributions Watching the world Watching our world running down Yeah, yeah, yeah....

Red Light Ahead (Squire/Sherwood) You fought for your freedom You understood the pain Tell me was it worth it Would you do it all again You tried to save your honor While fighting through the trials And all along the madness Still drives the people wild Danger, there's a red light ahead Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead You thought we could make it Now you know it isn't so What we never realized Was how far we had to go We tried to make our fortunes Work to ??? us for a while [worked wonders for a while] It seems so very clever But no one raised a smile Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead Look out there's a danger, there's a red light ahead You walk through the city No shelter from the rain Wand'rin' through the sea of faces The ranks of the insane [the wrecks of the insane] You thought you could fake it Now you know that wasn't sound Sensing something's just not right You stop to look around Danger, there's a red light ahead Look out for danger, there's a red light ahead Danger, there's a red light ahead red light ahead Look out Look out Look out .... ************* 11. Open Your Eyes (Squire/Sherwood) Ahhh.... We carry on in the same old way No lesson learned from yesterday Talk of changes lost in pages of paper work [words] How can we refuse to see What could be our final destiny Still we go on from day to day knowing what could be true Wish I knew, oh Wish I knew We've cast the world, we've set the stage For what could be the darkest age Short exchanges from perfect strangers we'll never know Wish we knew It's time to face reality Questioning the powers that be Are we too confused to see Wish I knew Wish I knew, oh Wish I knew Turn, turn to love (?) Love for another Turn, turn to love Love one another Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come Open your eyes Wish I knew It's time to face reality Things aren't what they used to be What I see in you you see in me Wish I knew Wish I knew Wish I knew, oh Wish I knew Open your eyes and discover you're not the only one In disguise do you wonder when the change is gonna come Open your eyes Open your mind ************* 12.
