letra de Heaven in My Hands
I'm going nowhere

Gotta face up to it

Gotta wake up to it

I feel so guilty

Killing time is a sin

A dam burst of dreams flows thru' me

They show me where I could be

Flash point feelings flow

Thru' my mind moving

When my friends tell me

You just can't connect

You ain't got no respect

They tell me nothing

'Cos I know about that

Yes I know about that

I'm not gonna take what people say

Don't feel that I belong today

Sense of freedom and

Sense of pride

From the mountains to the sea

I'll run across this land

Looking out for strength and beauty

A diamond in the sand

And I will chase the four winds over

Trying to understand

And I won't stop until I'm holding

Heaven in my hands

I won't let nobody

Turn me off the track

Now there's no turning back

Won't let no worries

Turn my inside down

Now there's no room for doubt

I'm heading for my destiny

And it feels electric to me

Flash point feelings flow

Thru' my mind

I was lonely going nowhere

Drowning on dry land

I was almost stranded there a

Shipwreck on the sand

But now I'll chase the whole world over

Making my demands

And I won't stop until I'm holding

Heaven in my hands

From the mountains to the sea

I'll run across this land

Looking out for strength and beauty

A diamond in the sand

And I will chase the four winds over

Trying to understand

And I won't stop until I'm holding

Heaven in my hands

I was lonely going nowhere

Drowning on dry land

I was almost stranded there a

Shipwreck on the sand

But now I'll chase the whole world over

Making my demands

And I won't stop until I'm holding

Heaven in my hands

letra de Take a Look
I'm a ragged man with a ragged heart

but I wear my soul with pride

you can see me on the road

see my carrying my home

and perhaps it seems that I'm all alone

but I'm happy here inside

you can keep your fancy dress

'cause to me it don't impress

when I look in your face

that camera smile looks out of place on you

by the look in your eyes

I can see you realize

so lend yourself to me

I'll show you what could be

well I've come so far down so many roads

I've experienced your pain

you know that that's a fact

I can see the way you act

but I learned to see what was wrong with me

and I won't go back again

I know I've made mistakes

but I also made the break

you surround yourself

with secrets you are afraid to show to the world

you convince yourself

there's no other way to go don't you

see the smile on my face

does it look so out of place

so lend yourself to me

I'll show you what could be (yes I will)

so many ways

for you to spend the passing days

loving and living or losing and using

life is forgiving so use it well

feeling revealing or wheeling and dealing

life's not for stealing and time will tell

take a look at your face

take a look at your face

you must surely know

if man made heaven then man made hell

so take a look at yourself

what's this secret you can't tell me

(when I look in your face

I see that smile so out of place on you

and by the look in your eyes

I can see you realize, oh yeah)
Over ThereVer letra 3:59

letra de Over There
I'm a soldier of fortune

I've come to save the day

There's a country that's needs me

And an enemy to slay

All my friends are in uniform

God is on our side

But I'm leaving my baby back home

As we head for the ocean

Our spirits are high

"To battle, to glory, what a lovely way to die!"

Looking back at the shoreline

Ringing in my ears

Are the words of my baby back home

Where are you going to so far away

Your dreams of glory will soon fade away

We are so young, so much in love

Your country needs you but I need you more

So far away

Over there

Out on the frontline the story has changed

For the glory of battle is the myth on printed page

As my friends fall around me

I wonder when I die

Will they carry my body back home

What are you searching for so far away

Your dreams of glory will soon fade away

We are so young, so much in love

I'm so afraid I won't see you again

Your country needs you but I need you more

So far away

Over there

So far away

Over there

Where are you going to so far away

Your dreams of glory will soon fade away

So many lives wasted away

So many die again and again

Some people say that the knights are all gone

Some people say that the dragons are dead

But the dragon lives on

As the spectre of war

And the killing and slaying goes on as before

Will it ever end

Oh ... will it ever end

Will it ever end .... ?
SilenceVer letra 4:56

letra de Silence
Lonely girl lies awake at night

Silence ringing in her ears

There's a boy who is on her mind

So much promise unfulfilled

She had waited so patiently

He had nothing more to say

Not a sound as she slowly walked away

Lonely boy watching from the bridge

His reflection in the lake

There's a girl who seems out of reach

And a choice he has to make

Lonely boy what will you become

If you let her slip away

Tomorrow's pain of regret may come too late

Too many people

Suffer in silence

Because they're afraid

Love will never come their way

So many walk behind a veil of sorrow

So many know they have themselves to blame

Good reasons not to wait until tomorrow

So don't be afraid

Love will always come your way

He should say he's a lonely man

She may have heard it all before

He should say he's a faithful man

She can never be too sure

If only he would communicate

There'd be nothing in their way

Only then would she understand his pain

Too many people

Suffer in silence

Because they're afraid

Love will never come their way

So many walk behind a veil of sorrow

So many know they have themselves to blame

Too many people

Suffer in silence

So don't be afraid

Love will always come your way
TracieVer letra 4:53

letra de Tracie
Steppin' out from underneath my shadow

Walking home from fridays nine to five

Rememberin' the long way round the meadow

The one we used to take from time to time

I thought about you

How you must have changed now baby

Far away from me

How I used to savour all your kisses

Where no one else could see

Exchanging knowing glances across the schoolroom

Dreamin' of a love down by the sea

Changing plans to cover up for one another

Working on our secret fantasy

But now as I walk down the road to your house baby

There's no one there but me

How I wish that I could steal your kisses

Just as they used to be

And I wanna know

Tracie, where are you now girl

I don't know why this feeling's so strong

Tracie, where have you been

You know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong

Countin' by the street lights to the phone box

Where we used to meet before the dawn

Smoking on the top floor of the school bus

Promising the moon as we rode along

But now if I saw you across a crowded dance floor

Or somewhere in the town

Would you show me what I have been missing

And spin me round and round

Tracie, where are you now girl

I don't know why this feeling's so strong

Tracie, where have you been

You know there's no one now to tell us we're wrong

'cause deep inside from some other place

I turn to find we're there face to face

We laugh, we cry, we work and we play

As love filled night gives way to the day

[repeat chorus]
Staring at the SunVer letra 4:39

letra de Staring at the Sun
No one heard you say your prayers ... for love

No one ever seemed to care ... for you

Blind as you run

Aware

You were staring at the sun

Always someone's favorite fool ... playing

Games that they'd invent for you ... losing

Your heart and soul

Aware

There's no way you can repair yourself

Your fragile face reflects

Years of neglect

Love for so long denied

Dies in your eyes

And so you kiss and give

Your heart away

Far from the start

You knew

There was something out of view

Like a burning spear of stars ... falling

You dissolve the night in tears ... so tired

Blinded you run

Aware

You were staring at the sun

You've given it all away

No more prayers today

You got a homeless heart

That's tearing you apart

You couldn't feel more cold

Inside your secret soul

You never found no one

You were staring at the sun

(staring at the sun)

(staring at the sun)
Two Hearts CollideVer letra 4:10

letra de Two Hearts Collide
Sold in silence

I never thought I could ever fall so deep

Now I need to know how you feel

And with a kiss

I steal the silence from your lips

Hearts colliding

Making waves that will echo through the years

Never thought I would find a love so real

And I know this

I want the life that love can give

Now I know what it means

A love so rare

In years of wasted promises

A love to care

Only love can make some sense of it

A love affair

I know it's only just begun

A love to share

When two hearts collide and beat as one

Now I know you care

And I'll provide you

With a dream that will never disappear

With the words that I know you want to hear

Without end

I've found a love I will defend

Now you know what I mean

[Repeat Chorus]
ManVer letra 7:23

letra de Man
Hey man where you been

You can't run away

From the life you made your own

Now that it's gone and left you down and out

You're not so complete

Now what do you say

All the answers you propose

Nobody chose to hear this time around

Hey man you're so vain

You rise up again

To perform to pressure now

No way to treat that precious heart at all

Calm down you're too proud

Now what do you know

You present some facts to face

But nobody chose to look this time around

Head in the clouds

No silver lining

What could be wrong

Hey man why so blue

What's come over you

Sentimental apathy

Ain't gonna buy no sympathy today

Wide world wearing thin

Wild words deafening

Shout about integrity

And then you go and throw your dignity away

We're all the same

We're all to blame

What could be wrong, yeah

Hey man you got carried away

Carrying on the games that you play

Playing is not the way to win

'cos winning can be a way that you lose

And losing is not the way you would choose

Given the choice you're trying to change

Changing again you're carried away

Do you remember the day

So long ago so far behind

That history wrought in the fire

That filled your mind with mad desire

Chasing the centuries down

Long roads you cut through flesh and field

Pulling the past as you run

And it's dragged you to your knees

It's time to pray

It's getting harder to pay

Too many people

For the rent

Given a number of ways

Is there no way you can change

Hey man sing the blues
