I have a friend, a very good friend of mine,

Who lives with the sound of a child that never cries,

One day he was there, the next day she was gone,

How can there be blame for the act of some-one’s God.

My brother he ain’t but I think that he must know,

If I could take his pain away I would,

But I can’t say I know how he must feel,

We only see a part of some-one else’s real.

What am I to do,

How am I to feel,

What am I to say,

We only see a part of some-one else’s real.

I have a friend who never learnt to walk at all,

She tried so hard but the Doctor said she’s always fall,

So now she’s got a set of wheels and I have feet,

It’s just another way to get from A to B.

But I never hear her complain about her lot,

She’ll only talk of all the things she’s got,

But I cant say I know how she must feel,

We only see a part of some-one else’s real.

Chorus

Solo

But when they see me,

What is it they see,

We only see a part of,

Only see a part of,

Some-one else’s real.

Whisper me your secrets,

About how you feel inside,

The things you told no living soul,

And spent a lifetime trying to hide.

Whisper me your dreams,

About where you want to be,

Your fantasies and ambitions,

Whisper them to me.

And I will listen with an open mind,

And a heart that sees your pain,

To maybe give the love you need,

To get a chance to start again.

Shout to me your anger,

About those who’ve done you wrong,

The times you held it all inside,

Tell me everything they’ve done.

Shout to me your hopes now,

About all you want to be,

The chances time took away from you,

Shout them all to me.

Chorus

Scream to me the hatred,

They made you feel inside,

How they watched you sit alone, and,

laughed at the tears you cried.

Scream to me your vision,

About the way your want to be seen,

Your fantasies and ambitions,

Scream them out to me.

Chorus

The silence cracks as another dies,

And the angels claim a brother.

A mother bleeds as a baby cries,

One life exchanged for another.

And the old man in the corner bar,

Orders his key to life.

He says he's been drunk for a thousand years,

But still can't get it right.

No escape, no release,

No freedom, this is life

On the city streets a speeding car,

Young men steal for a fix,

Neighbourhoods being torn apart,

To push living to it's limits.

And the young man in the corner flat,

Opens another can,

Says he wants to drink for a thousand years,

And that's his only plan

Chorus

As the midnight moon stares down on me,

It kisses my hangover,

Maybe I've been drunk for a thousand years,

And can't care anymore.

It's dark out there and I can't find a light,

A way to guide me through,

So I wrap myself in a drunken haze,

Until I work out what to do.

Chorus

Solo / Ad lib/ Chorus

Do you believe,                    

Can you believe,

In anything,

That you can’t see?

Coz I believe in                     

Love without pain,                

Hope without tears               

…..us                                     

Do you believe,

Can you believe,

That what we do,

Has to be real

Coz I believe in

Love at first sight,

Hope at the start

….us

You scare like a girl who’s alone and afraid,

But you fight like a cat that’s killing it’s prey,

And you cry like a child who wants Mother’s Milk,

and you think that it makes you a fool.

You’re strong as a Woman who has seen it all,

But as weak as a baby who’s starting to crawl,

As gentle as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings,

But as hard as a Mother enforcing her rule.

And I can see me in you,

I can see me in you.

I’m scared like a boy who’s becoming a man,

Who’s trying so hard to be all that he can,

Who has to grow up through his work and his play,

And who wants the chance of alone into two.

And I’m here like a boy who’s still trying to prove,

What I’m able to walk in a real man’s shoes,

I know that I’m ready and I wait for the day,

That gives me the chance to show me to you.

And I can see me in you,

I can see me in you.

And we’ll scare like children so alone and afraid,

But we’ll fight for each other like cats with their prey,

And we will grow together more every day,

To prove that we are the right place to be.

And we’ll find our way to find a way through,

Growing together in all that we do,

No longer alone and never afraid,

Finding our strength in who we will be.

And I can see me in you,

I can see me in you,

And you in me.

Drive too fast in a thirty zone,

Lights cut the darkness from the night,

Look for numbers put in order,

Too many cars, none of them right.

A hotel bed sees pillow fights,

Coffee rings, room service blindfold,

Darkened back room, TV spotlight,

But who is there for you to hold.

And I’m still looking for you,

Are you just a dream, yeah,

I’m still looking for you,

Are you just a dream.

Orange floodlights on street corners,

By now you’ve found a place to hide,

In the houses, behind the doors,

One of us will get through tonight

Crowded places lost in people

One for the road lit by your stars,

Forgotten fools left by the wayside,

Offer hearts to the way you are.

And I’m still looking for you,

Are you just a dream, yeah,

I’m still looking for you,

Are you just a dream.

Solo

Chorus

Chorus

Mother Nature never gives any reasons,

Why she loves but can butcher those she loves.

An innocent party is now left confused

Asking  questions that have no answers

And they tell her it will be alright

And they tell her to describe how she feels

But who can describe

The shape of the rain as it falls.

Once the rain was a comforting mist,

That wrapped her in a life giving shroud,

Now the rain cuts cold to her skin,

She feels the pain but can't scream out loud

And they tell her it will be alright

And they tell her to describe how she feels

But who can describe

The shape of the rain as it falls.

There are people who will sympathise

Who offer words of polite support

So she dries her eyes and mourns on her own,

Coz no-one know just how she feels the loss

And they tell her it will be alright

And they tell her to describe how she feels

But who can describe

When all there was was alone

When I could see no way out

With the smile of an angel

You brought love into my life

All I want is one more chance

For this to be forever
All I want is one more chance
Can this be forever
Loosing you would be too much to take
Too much to take

When all there is is this pain

When I work out why it hurts,

It’s not about what we did,

It’s what we could have been

All I want is one more chance

For this to be forever

All I want is one more chance

Can this be forever

Loosing you would be too much to take

Too much to take

Solo

When all there is is alone,

When I can see no way out.

It’s not about what we did,

It’s what we could have been

All I want is one more chance

For this to be forever

All I want is one more chance

Can this be forever

Loosing you would be too much to take

Too much to take

I have a voice

Louder than thunder

Sharper than lightening

I have a voice

Can you hear it

No you can’t, I know you can’t

Coz it was taken away from tme

As a boy and as a man

They took it away

I have a dream

Something to build on

Futures to look to

I have a dream

Can you see it?

No you can’t, I know you can’t

Coz it was taken away from me

As a boy and as a man

They took it away

I have a voice

Louder than thunder

Sharper than lightening

I have a voice

Can you hear it                   

Video nightlife fast forward,

freeze frame memory,

Solitaire without playing cards,

The ace could be me.

Honeycomb choices maze of paths,

But which is the way,

The future’s never seen or heard,

Signpost from today.

And if I made a choice,

it was only to be me,

And if I had a voice,

it would only be to scream,

Let me be me, let me be me,

Let me be free.

Pressurised lifestyles, their ideas,

Their normality,

Imposing what they want to see,

Their vision of me.

Settle down boy and you’ll get respect,

Name on office wall,

Growing pains are over now,

It comes to us all,

Chorus

Solo

Don’t judge me by your standards,

Don’t make me what you’re not,

Don’t fail me by your answers,

Don’t tear my world apart.

Chorus.

Romeo in streetlights, chasing the stars,

Pounding the streets, to find your arms,

Through the driving rain, to be at your side,

Getting close to you with ev’ry stride.

Got to keep going,

Got to keep on moving

I'll be running forever

Got to keep going,

Got to keep on moving

I'll be running forever

Forever running, forever running

Dodging the traffic, with practised ease,

Racing the wind, a man made breeze.

Nothing can stop me, I’m on my way,

Running for a lifetime, getting closer ev’ry day.

Got to keep going,

Got to keep on moving

I'll be running forever

Got to keep going,

Got to keep on moving

I'll be running forever

Forever running, forever running

stop/intro./solo

Romeo in street lights, chasing the stars,

Pounding the streets, to find your arms,

Through the driving rain, to be at your side,

Getting close to you with ev’ry stride.

Got to keep going,

Got to keep on moving

I'll be running forever

Got to keep going,

Got to keep on moving

I'll be running forever

I met a dying man,

And in the silence of the night

I hear the voices of the future talk
Telling me of the things to come,

And how I will face them all alone.

As I look deeper into the night

The voices change from whisper to scream
Telling me of how things will end,

How I must be the forgotten friend.

Voices, another chance

Voices, a better place
Voices that will talk to you
Voices that will take you away
 

The voices talk of lights and stars,

And of the places I will never go,

Telling me of worlds without light,

And I look at  life forever night.

The voices talk of promises,

And of the things that will come your way,

Telling me of how I must leave,

For the freedom you must have to live.

Chorus

Solo

But when the voices talk, tell me what they say,

So when the time comes, for you to turn away,

There will be reasons, that I can understand,

And I will walk with you, as far as I can.
