A place to call home 01:WE COME ALIVE Well it's early evening And I'm at your door And I'm thinking of things to say It's been a long hard week since I saw you now, Babe you're always worth the wait I feel kinda restless Nervous I guess But so lucky to be alive And we take the city by the hand It's our time tonight We come alive Yeah, we come alive With the night Yeah, we come alive With the night You've got your black jeans on And your worn out shirt Like the casual girl I know I'm gonna take you down town to this place I know Where they play our kind of rock and roll And for a moment I feel When I look in your eyes That I've found what I'm searchng for Heaven's right in front of me And I'm steppin through the door We come alive Yeah, we come alive With the night Yeah, we come alive With the night LOOKOUT! Well we walk on in and the music's loud And the lights are way down low And the air fills up with ecstacy As we dance the whole night through I love the way we touch And express ourselves Such a natural way to be Now I know why the night belongs To fools like you and me Well like theives we steal eachother's time We have to go back home Got my arms around you So glad I found you And It's something I've done on my own Baby in just a little while We could go our separate ways But we both know We'd fool ourselves This night ain't over yet We come alive Yeah, we come alive With the night Yeah, we come alive With the night 02:UNDER THE INFLUENCE Maybe you've taken on a different name Tired of playin' everybody elses game Maybe you're livin' in a jealous town Oh so tired of rumors going 'round What we do Under the influence of love Maybe you'll try out a new set of clothes Begin to like the things that you hated the most There ain't no rule there ain't no circumstance To save you baby now when you're in a trance What we do Under the influence of love Yeah Hush now baby Don't cry To make it right We have to see both sides And the day is never done Think about it Oh Maybe you'll learn how to communicate With that someone who just can't wait Maybe you'll see the world Through different eyes Maybe you'll even make a sacrifice What we do Under the influence of love Yeah What we do Under the influence of love Some they can't live within Some they can't live without When love finally arrives They keep shutting it out And maybe this ones for you Baby don't be afraid There ain't nothing you can do When it takes you away Maybe you'll give up everythng you've got To prove you're right when they say you're not Maybe you'll change just about everything around you Become a slave to the spell that bound you What we do Under the influence of love Yeah What we do Under the influence of love Hush now baby Don't cry To make it right We have to see both sides And the day is never done Think about it For the fortunate one Maybe you'll give up everythng you've got To prove you're right when they say you're not Under the influence of love Maybe you'll change just about everything around you Under the influence of love 03:A PLACE TO CALL HOME I was out the front door Like nothing was lost Wanted my freedom No matter what the cost It made no difference What anyone said I didn't follow my heart I followed my head Well a man is an island But the water is deep And the shore on the other side Is ragged and steep Well I built my castle For just one man Without the love of a woman It's made out of sand The tower of strength With no one around To pick me up When it all came down Well I should have known We all need a place to call home Oh yeah, uh huh Well you travel the highways And you travel the world When there ain't much left you haven't Seen or heard To look for perfection Is a lonely old ride It takes a whole lot of courage And a whole lot of pride And then one day When you really care She touches your soul But you're far too scared Well I should have known We all need a place to call home Oh yeah, uh huh, oh yeah I'm trying everyday To find out more about myself Learning how to love Now I need it from somebody else Yeah, yeah Come poets and writers Come spare me some time Come tell me the reason Come tell me the rhyme When you look for independence And you get what you want How come you look back Thinking "what have I done?" But time and again It dawns on me It's the price we pay for liberty Well I should have known We all need a place to call home Oh yeah, home God I miss you tonight We all need a place to call home Oh yeah 04:PLEASURE AND PAIN I hate it when you wander So sensual and free And I hate it when you're psychic With the things I cannot say I hate it when you lead on Like you know which way to go And I hate it when you stumble And you never touch the floor A pathological liar I'm falling again With a flood of desire I walk the line between pleasure and pain I hate it when you're lyin' So close to me at night And I hate it when you whisper Sweet words into my mouth Yeah a woman be the reason A woman be the light A woman be the color If faith would be my sight I'm a man of contradiction With a heart so restrained So afraid of commitment I walk the line between pleasure and pain It may take one lifetime Or it may take one day For me to find the courage Not to walk away If this is all that matters If this is all we know If enlightenment is our journey It will never ever let us go (never let us go) I hate it when you want me Passion in your eyes I struggle and I reason This couldn't possibly be right And I fight you with honor And I fight you with fear So afraid what I would find out If I would let your heart come near And I believe in redemption For a fool's domain And I ask for forgiveness I walk the line between pleasure and pain Between pleasure and pain I walk the line between pleasure and pain 05:ELSEWHERE There's a place that I'd like to reach I have tried, and tried, and tried, and tried To the secret places that you keep I am repeatedley denied Oh, won't you let me in I'm on your side Do you still love me Do you honestley care Cause I am still with you But you are elsewhere Yes you are elsewhere There's a voice that I'd like to hear Words of a poet that I used to know Now your eyes they keep starin into nowhere If I knew what was hurting you so Oh won't you take me there Dark places you hide Do you still love me Do you honestley care Cause I am still with you But you are elsewhere Yes you are elsewhere Oh won't you let me in I'm on your side Do you still love me Do you honestley care Cause I am still with you But you are elsewhere Do you still love me (do you still love me) Do you honestley care Cause I am still with you (I am still with you) But you are elsewhere Yes you are elsewhere You are elsewhere 06:LORD OF THE MANOR Lord of the manor Come shed me some light Lately my life has been a struggle and a fight Hope I'm not asking too much of you tonight So Lord of the manor Come shed me some light Been through some hard times My woman and I We've been working so hard just trying to get by But I'm not complaining just wondering why So lord of the manor come shed me some light Lord of the manor Come light up my way Lately the devil Has been tryin to lead me astray Come show me your glory Show me what's right Lord of the manor Come and shed

some light Cause lately my life has been a struggle such a struggle and a fight I hope I'm not asking too much of you tonight So Lord of the manor Come shed me some light Shed me some light 07:DON'T GO CHANGIN' ON ME If you really wanna love me Oh then love who I am But if you only wanna change me Now baby I'm not your man I might not be an angel Hey we are what we are Oh set love free Know how you want it to be Don't go changin on me I was looking for a lover When I found something true I figured one day or another I'd get lucky Meet someone like you Now I don't wanna loose you Cause we think differently Oh set love free Know how you want me to be Don't go changin on me I know I might not be a hero Say things you want me to If you look for someone perfect I'm afraid I just won't do But if we're meant to share this future Come happiness or pain If we're meant to help eachother Well thank God we're not the same 08:HARDER TO LEAVE A FRIEND THAN A LOVER I come to you As an act of faith Please convince me that I'm wrong When I say we don't belong and It's not too late I sense the call From your soul to mine Is it mean't to hurt this way Every hour every day It steals our time And it all comes clear As if the moment draws near That it's harder To leave a friend than a lover All the dreams that you have built Leaves you with a sense of guilt in the eyes of the other So here we stand Stubborn woman Stubborn man Is it worth it to carry on Is it time we moved along Have we done all we can And the damage done Oh can we overcome Cause it's harder To leave a friend than a lover You might love the way you touch But it will never mean as much As when you care for each other Is it all we can say We never wanted it this way Cause it's harder To leave a friend than a lover And the wounds will run so deep And the friendship that you keepwill never recover It's harder to leave a friend than a lover When you know someone so well You would rather walk through hell before you'd hurt one another Yeah yeah yeah 09:RIGHT TO RESPECT No one owns the water No one owns the earth No one owns the mountains The flowers, and the dirt No one owns a race Colors cannot hurt But we all own The right to respect One and all No one owns the words Spoken by someone Who's fighting for his right Just to be treated like someone No one owns the hope That burns in everyone But we all own The right to respect One and all And when we say we, we've had enough We've really had enough And when we say we don't want no more We really don't want no more Yeah No one owns a woman No one owns a man No one owns a country Their people and their land No one owns a life Yet I see blood upon your hands But we all own The right to respect One and all Yeah yeah yeah One and all Yeah yeah yeah One and all One and all One and all One and all Yeah yeah yeah yeah One and all 10:ALWAYS A FRIEND OF MINE I see a boy down on the corner He has nothing to his name I see the dreams that we can follow And die for just the same And I see someone I believe in Through hard and troubled times If I ever loose my way yeah You're always a friend of mine Then you step out in the big world Take the chances that you can I see the sweat I see the tears Yes, brotherhood of man And I see someone I believe in Through hard and troubled times If I ever loose my way yeah You're always a friend of mine Then you learned about your people (then you learned about your people) Some are weak and some are strong Some might stand up for you Do anything for you Others might do you wrong And I have someone I believe in Through hard and troubled times If I ever loose my way yeah You're always a friend of mine Yes you are How I used to long for happiness Whatever it would take How I'd die for that old true love Make no mistake How I used to think all that glittered was gold And all of that was mine Now all I have is this moment Hoping it's never gonna pass me by Pass me by Now did you find as you went searching All that you were looking for And has time began to heal you Well I got I got more than I bargained for And I see someone I believe in Through hard and troubled times If I ever loose my way yeah Your always a friend of mine Oh yes you are If I ever loose my way Your always a friend of mine Friend of mine 11:HOW COME YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET ? Thought I'd sit right down and write this song for you I think you never understood my point of view You came into my life the smell of supple wine Poisened up my blood and left me behind Mysterious you were so unpredictable Your charming ways were always so believable Circumstances made it all come shining through To tell the truth was not what you intended to Oh no You could not live without me you said So baby how come you're not dead yet Well everything you said to me about being true Now I realize that words don't mean that much to you Can't believe you wasted all this time on me Showered me with promises and poetry You could not live without me you said So baby how come you're not dead yet People come and people go We hurt eachother This I know But it's not that simple When the hour is late Baby don't go I see you walkin by but I don't feel a thing Funny how I thought that we were everything Someone else will now be fallin for that smile I'm proud to say that I'm no longer worth your while You could not live without me you said No you could not live without me you said So baby how come you're not dead yet Could not live without me... 12:FOR MY COUNTRY Like a vision That I keep inside A memory locked away No borderlines No enemies No religion to betray And I have felt the change And it hurts me too That no distance can deny This is for my country Still battered and still bruised I've come to offer all I can I will fight for you I will firght or you You climb a hill Yet you fall down a mountain When the truth is hard to face And I envy you So proud and strong Still your people you embrace And I am part of that What you've given me I have come to give it back This is for my country The spirit of my song I've seen you suffer long enough And It's where I belong And It's where I belong I will keep my word I will retrify With all that I am worth This is for my country Forever I am bound With every bit of strength I hold I'll never let you down I'll never let you down No It's where I belong
