Grail
Guinevere
Shine
V1.
In
the wide green land runs a river. It is flowing down
to meet the strand.
After millions of years of just
wind and rain a tribe of people come and claim the land.
CHORUS
Sharp,
bright eyes are watching. Dark wings take to the air.
They
cannot speak they can only cry as they see what is happening
down there.
V2.
More
people come and live by the river as the tall ships
and the traders take hold.
Houses and inns line the
market squares and everything is something to be sold
CHORUS
V3.
The
king commands the building of a tower. Down beside the
river it will stand.
Stone by stone and year by year
it grows and becomes a place to fear throughout the
land.
MIDDLE
EIGHT
Seven watchers are taken to the tower. Seven
for the secrets they can never tell.
Their dark wings
are clipped but their eyes still see as they watch from
their stony prison cell
But if ever a dark one of
the seven should fly free then sorrow & destruction
he would bring.
For the tower would crumble & the
city would fall & there would be an end to
everything.
V4.
But a day will come when mans endeavours will crumble
& return to grains of sand.
Then the watchers
will be free & nature restored & by
the river there will be a wide green land.
V1.
Who
am I ? What can I do ?
I can close my eyes and dream
but I can't make a dream come true.
Feel the earth,
touch the sky.
See its fragile beauty choked and
crushed before your eyes.
And the ripples from the
pebbles that we toss away each day,
The motion of
a butterfly ten thousand miles away,
Every little
thing we do can make a change some way.
CHORUS
We,
we can make it be.
V2.
Every
word, every deed,
Every thing we do now is planting
a seed.
Take my hand believe with me.
If we act
together we can make this dream fly free.
And the
ripples on the water are spreading all around.
A
storm is blowing up and the wind is whistling round.
But
there's still time to change things if we help each
other now.
CHORUS
V3.
There's
a place we long to be.
This could be the place if
we set it free.
There's a sun that shines on you.
There's
beauty all around us; can you see it too.
Leave the
car at home today; take action with your feet.
Regenerate
the broken glass and paper from the street.
Know
good friends are just strangers we have yet to meet.
CHORUS
CHORUS
I
want to be there to hold your hand in case you fall.
I
want to be there beside you through it all.
I love
you and I always will.
I want to be there oo oo oo
I want to be there.
V1.
I
can see the road ahead, a river shining in the sun,
And
its calling us to follow where it leads.
Every step
we take together is a magical step into the light.
Don't
care where it goes as long as you are here with me.
CHORUS
V2.
When
we hold each others hands I feel the warmth of love
that binds
And flows between us like an electricity.
You're
so very precious to me; a gentle touch, a caring thought.
I
believe in you and you believe in me.
MIDDLE
EIGHT
And when its time to part our lives will not
have been in vain.
Treasured memories and friends
live on and I know we'll find each other again
CHORUS BREAK
V3.
Our
thoughts combine together, dance and flow in harmony
And
lift our spirits to infinity.
We fly among the stars
a being finally made whole;
Heart to heart and soul
to soul eternally.
CHORUS
Go
to Top
V1.
Feel
the heat from the flames, Blood is burning in our veins,
And
the fire will spread throughout the land and sweep us
away.
CHORUS
In
the land of the free it's a good day to die.
I will
always remember a land that is free; its where my heart
lies
V2.
As
the waves lash our shore we're surrounded by war,
And
our tears will flow down to the sea 'til we are no more.
CHORUS
MIDDLE
EIGHT
And my spirit flies up to touch the
sun.
I see all that is past and all yet to come.
This
battle is lost but the war's just begun.
A new age
will dawn when we will be one.
When our spirits will
join and see what we've done.
And hatred, greed and
war will all be gone.
CHORUS
V1.
He
was different from the rest; wasn't sleek, wasn't sure,
But
deep inside his spirit longed to fly.
He lined up
to be counted. He waited with the best,
And when
his turn came round he had a try.
CHORUS
Fly
like an eagle. Show us what it means
To follow your
dreams no matter how high.
Take us with you as you
go. Don't let your fear show,
And fly like an eagle
Eddie fly.
V2.
As
he raced to needless death the crowd all held its breath,
And
when he took the jump into the sky.
No longer tied
to earthly things this hero soared on shining wings,
And
the crowd all shouted, "Fly, Eddie. Fly"
CHORUS
V3.
Well we knew he wouldn't win but we really didn't
care;
He was the man we all wanted to see.
We
watched him leap up high and we wanted him to fly;
For
we knew, if he could do it, so could we.
CHORUS
V1.
Walking
on a spiders web, unseen but everywhere.
Dangling
by a single thread, something is waiting there
CHORUS
For
me. For me. For me.
V2.
Everything
I do or say; everywhere that I go
Thread is weaving
day by day making the pattern grow
CHORUS
MIDDLE
EIGHT 1
Here I am up here; feel like I'm walking
on air
But I'm really only balanced on a high wire.
V3.
Twisting,
turning in a spin; where is my freedom now ?
Just
can't let the spider win; have to break free some how
CHORUS
MIDDLE
EIGHT 2
Have to get to solid ground; to know where
I stand.
Have to cut away each biting strand.
V1.
Remember
the long, hot summer days.
Jumping in the river,
climbing trees in the park.
Remember the wonder of
it all.
Make believe magic and dreams in the dark.
CHORUS
Deep
inside hear the call.
Listen to the child; the child
inside us all.
V2.
Remember
thinking you would stay forever young.
And life was
something special; full of treasures to be won.
Remember
love so easy and so strong.
Laughing with your best
friends, running free under the sun.
CHORUS
MIDDLE
EIGHT
I want to live like that again. I want to take
away the pain.
I want to feel I can become anything
and anyone.
I need a new reality. I have to find
the child inside of me.
V3.
Its
very dark outside my window tonight
But the blackness
makes it easier to see the stars so bright
And I
know I can be what I want to be.
Stars are shining
in the eyes of the child inside of me
CHORUS
V1.
There
she sits the light plays softly on her gentle, glowing
skin.
But deep inside her is a hunger and its growing
from within.
She cannot stop the rising tide and
she's burning up inside.
There is anger and confusion
and it has nowhere left to hide.
CHORUS
Run
red like a river running down to the sea.
Run red
like the blood that's flowing deep inside of me.
V2.
There's
no escape; she is a prisoner, just a slave to the moon.
She
can only look on helpless as her fingers start to move.
And
as the light begins to gleam on the dark side of her
dreams
She is scarlet, she is silver; her voice a
chilling scream ...
Oh oh oh
CHORUS
V3.
In
the darkness that decends she will find the light.
And
the answer whispers round her as clear as black and
white;
Only flesh and blood is she and on love she
must feed.
She is woman; the life giver. She is the
earth and she must bleed ...
Oh oh oh
CHORUS
V1.a
This
is our home, a refuge in the emptiness,
A
jewel of life, a miracle of birth,
A bubble of air
between us and oblivion,
Spinning through time, across
the universe.
Tell everyone the time has come to change things,
Shout
it out loud for everything you're worth,
Follow your
heart, believe & make it happen,
Join hands
together, friends of the earth ...
CHORUS
We want to live ...Save the world
We
want to live ...Save the world
V2a
Can
we be friends, live our lives together ?
In meadows
of green, under skies of blue,
Be a part of my world,
stand up & say you're with me,
Be there for me
& I'll be there for you.
Tell everyone the time has come to change things,
Shout
it out loud for everything you're worth,
Follow your
heart, believe & make it happen,
Join hands together,
friends of the earth ...
CHORUS (x2)
V1.
I'm
driving through the night in the pale moonlight,
But
at least I know you're waiting for me.
Here at the
wheel I can' help but feel ...
CHORUS
There's
shadows on the road waiting at the bend.
They're
waiting to catch me. They'll get me in the end.
The
shadows. The shadows.
V2.
I
feel safe inside this shell but I know I cannot tell
Just
what I will find as I go on.
I'm tired but I must
drive until I'm back by your side.
MIDDLE
EIGHT
Here all alone on the dark side of the world
Everything
seems black and grey.
But I think of coming home
and the sunshine in your eyes
And like magic the
shadows fade away.
V3.
Chasing
dreams in the night trying to catch these beams of light.
The
wheels keep turning but they're always out of reach.
But
I don't really care 'cos we have a life to share.
CHORUS
V1.
She
is beautiful; hair the colour of corn.
Her eyes reflect
the sky blue of a clear and bright spring morn'.
She
is shining and her laughter fills the air.
She passes
through the woods and fields and leaves her blessings
there.
CHORUS
To
know her is to love her. She will always be;
Just
as the earth is turning in this spiral galaxy.
And
I have loved this woman. She gave birth to you and me.
She
will always love us and be with us endlessly.
V2.
I
can see her; her dress the colour of milk.
And, floating
'round her body, her mantle shines like silk.
In
the woven thread lies the pattern of life and love.
Of
timeless cycles turning; just like the stars above.
CHORUS
V1.
I believe in you and the light that shines
inside,
I believe in the future and the song.
I
know there's a road I must travel down.
I know that
love can't be wrong.
CHORUS
Love will find a way through the darkness.
Love
will find a way my friend.
Love will find a way through
the sorrows
Love will find a way in the end.
V2.
There's an answer to our questions if we just
wake up and see.
There's a message floating somewhere
on the wind.
When everything seems shattered by the
raging of the storm,
Hold on to the voice that speaks
within.
MIDDLE 8
We have stepped into the fire. We have
burned with desire.
Had our feelings torn apart and
cast away.
We have swallowed the flame and cried
with the pain
And from the ashes we must face another
day.
V3.
I know there is darkness as we walk along
the road
But its just because our eyes are closed
in pain.
Wake up and look around there is beauty
everywhere,
There are friends walking beside us in
the rain.
CHORUS
V1.
Doing
the best I can but I'm drowning in the rain.
Feel
I'm falling. Feel I'm going down.
Trying to do things
right but I just can't see the way
And its so dark
I'm going round and round.
CHORUS
And
I'm reaching out to you. Won't you tell me what to do
?
Give me something to believe in; show me the way.
My
life is in a mess and I'm choking with the stress
And
I'm trying to just hang on for one more day.
V2.
Hoping
to ride the storm but being carried on the wind.
Reaching
out for something on solid ground.
Trying to look
ahead but its all hidden in the clouds
And its so
black I can't see what I've found.
CHORUS
MIDDLE
EIGHT
I know in time the sun will shine. The light
will set me free
If only I can hang in there to see
VERSE BREAK
CHORUS
V3.
Listening
to the sound of distant music in the air.
Its the
song of life, the song of harmony.
Set the rhythm
to my heart beat. Breathe in the melody
And I'll
find the words within to set me free
CHORUS
V1.
A
light shines somewhere out there; it's a truth I have
to find.
A magic beyond each moment. A promise upon
the wind.
I fear the darkness of never knowing; so
I race through every door.
A constant restless searching;
like waves that crash upon the shore.
CHORUS
Drink
the pure spring water. Breathe the fresh, sweet air.
Run
free upon the earth. Find the magic everywhere.
Treasure
every moment. Find the peace inside your soul.
Live
and be happy. Love and be whole. Love and be whole.
V2.
In
a dream I see a woman and she's dressed in purest white.
She
is holding out a chalice; shining with an inner light.
She
tells me I must come to her and I need not be afraid;
Touch
the magic of the Grail and hear the words she has to
say.
CHORUS
V3.
The
answer lies within. Look inside see the light;
The
pulsing, glowing heart, the flowing ebbing tide.
Feel
the power all around us. Find the centre. Find the eye.
The
magic of the universe is part of everything alive.
CHORUS
Go
to Top
V1.
There once was a king and he wed a young queen.
So
fair was she she seemed like a dream.
He built
her a tower to lift her above,
And he planted her
roses to show her his love.
High in her room her mirror glowed,
As
wonderous visions its magic showed.
Enchanted, she
remained in her room,
While outside the walls the
storm clouds grew.
The rose bushes tangled
and thorny briars,
Scaled the castle walls ever higher,
And
out of the dark lands the dragons came,
And they
ravaged the country with ice and flame.
V2.
Like a beacon the light from the tower
shone,
And fell on a knight wandering on his own.
He
followed the light like a soul possessed,
For under
its spell he could not rest
He climbs up the rose bushes, sharp with thorns,
Ignoring
the cuts to his face and arms.
In through the window
he spies her there.
A beautiful lady with golden
hair.
But she doesn't see him she only knows,
The
magical world that the mirror shows,
So gently he
holds her and turns her head,
And the mirror cracks
and the spell is dead.
V3.
Together they search the room, wall and floor,
'Til
the shining knight finds the key to the door.
He
gives her the key and he bids her face,
Whatever
awaits her beyond this place.
They kiss fond farewell
and he bids her go
To face the strange world that
awaits below.
Weeping she walks down the tower stairs
To
find a dark lady waits for her there.
The dark lady
smiles and wipes her tears
And hands her a box she's
not seen for years.
A beautiful box carved with celtic
design
And she knows she will open it when it is
time.
V4.
The
queen takes the box and she steps outside
To a terrible
battle; she cannot hide.
The king fights a dragon
both red and bold
While the knight fights a dragon
of shining gold.
When the king and the knight see
where she stands
They run to her; each taking one
of her hands.
Both of them pull her, she cries in
pain.
The falling box opens and light scatters like
rain.
When the king sees the light he too cries out.
He
lets go her hand and he turns around.
With horror
he sees the red dragon grow.
The queen tries to reach
him but finds she cannot get close.
V5.
The
knight still holds her and can't set her free
But
the dragon of gold won't let the knight be.
The queen
shines the light from the box in his eyes
And the
gold dragon shrinks to an insignificant size.
Now
the queen and the knight stand hand in hand
And a
hush decends on that ravaged land.
There's a light
in their eyes and a lifetime to come,
While outside
the walls the king battles on.
Freed from the tower
to face the world.
Grown to a woman from shielded
girl.
With the wind in her face and her feet on the
ground
She walks into the light with the new life
she has found.
V1.
Flying
high in the sky. Feel the wind, touch the sun;
Its
a good day to die.
CHORUS
Shine.
Lift up your eyes to the distant horizon.
Free the
spirit. Let it burn. Let it shine.
V2.
Throw yourself into the blue. Follow your heart;
Find
the right. Find the true.
CHORUS
MIDDLE
EIGHT
And as you fly spread your wings.
Lift up
the hearts failing to begin.
Let your light touch
the sun.
Shine a message to everyone.
They can
make it if they try; just carry on.
V3.
Soar
on the wings of a dream. Believe in yourself
And
then you can be.
CHORUS
