ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW

ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW

A LIFE FILLED WITH UNCERTAINTY

IS THE KIND OF LIFE I'VE HAD

I NEVER SAW IT COMING, BUT I KNEW AT EVERY TURN

SOMETHING NEW TO DEAL WITH

SOMETHING TO GET USED TO, SOMETHING TO LEARN

AND THOUGH I TRIED TO PREPARE MYSELF

FOR LIFE'S LITTLE EVENTUALITIES

SOME REALITIES I'D OF PREFERRED NOT TO KNOW

THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES

THE WINDS OF CHANGE NEVER CEASE TO BLOW

ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW COULD NEVER BE ENOUGH

TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH UNSCATHED

PROTECT YOU FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE

ONE DAY HERE AND ONE DAY THERE

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT TWENTY YEARS SLIPPED BY

YOU WONDER WHAT IT IS TO EASE THE PAIN

THAT YOU HAVEN'T TRIED

THE SKIES SEEMED BLUER THEN

NIGHTS WERE INNOCENT AND LONG

EVERYONE WAS KINDER THEN, BROTHERHOOD WAS STRONG

I KNEW BETTER WHERE I STOOD

NOT AT ALL LIKE TODAY

STANDING HERE ON THIS CRUMBLING GROUND

HOW COULD CENTURIES HAVE GOTTEN PAST

SO MANY AND SO MUCH DIDN'T LAST

IN A LIFE FILLED WITH UNCERTAINTY

I FOUND MY COMFORT WHERE I COULD

I PUT MY TRUST IN FATE, THREW IT TO THE WORLD

CAST IT ON THE WINDS OF CHANGE

TO SEE WHICH DIRECTION IT WOULD GO

I'LL ALWAYS BE

I'LL ALWAYS BE

LIKE THE SUMMER RAIN FALLING SOFTLY ON MY CHEEKS

TASTE IT ON MY LIPS, FEEL IT IN MY SOUL

LIKE A FULL MOON ON A WARM SUMMER NIGHT

SHINING DOWN ON THE TREES

REFLECTED IN THE WATER

JUST AS PRETTY AS YOU PLEASE

I FEEL IT IN MY SOUL, IN MY HEART, I LET MY LOVE GO

SCATTERED AROUND LIKE THE STARS

I CAN STILL FIND WONDER HIDDEN IN THE WORLD

YOU CAN'T HOLD LOVE IN, IT WAS MEANT TO FLY

HELLO GOODBYE

ALL THIS LOVE STILL NEEDS SOMEWHERE TO GO

STAND IN FRONT OF ME AND WATCH ME GLOW

TAKE ALL YOU NEED, PUT IT AWAY

IN CASE YOU SHOULD NEED IT ONE DAY 

DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES

 TO ALL THE LOVE THAT SURROUNDS YOU

IT MIGHT HELP YOU, TO KEEP YOUR HEART LIGHT

FILL YOUR SOUL, UNTIL IT OVER-FLOWS

MAKE SURE SOME ALWAYS COMES TO ME

I'LL ALWAYS BE READY FOR YOU

I'LL PUT MY ARM AROUND YOU

AND HOLD YOU REAL REAL CLOSE TO ME

WATCH THE FIRE IN EACH OTHERS EYES

WE WATCHED THE SUN GOING DOWN

SAW THE MAGIC GLOW

IN FIELDS OF WHEAT AS THE BREEZE MADE IT DANCE AND BLOW

ALL ACROSS THE FIELDS, I LET MY LOVE GO

GAVE IT ALL TO YOU

YOU'VE GOT ME BY THE HEART

THAT'S A REAL GOOD START

TAKE IT HOLD IT OWN IT

CULTIVATE IT LIKE A FLOWER, KEEP IT GROWING

AND YOUR LOVE SHOWING

AND SMILE EVERYDAY

A THOUSAND DREAMS BEFORE

***

A THOUSAND DREAMS BEFORE

PUFFY LITTLE CLOUDS FILL THE SKY

AS THEY LAZILY DRIFT BY

ON A WARM AFTERNOON

IN THE PARK I LIE, WITH MY FACE TO THE SKY

I'M JUST TRYING TO CLEAR MY HEAD

LET GO OF THINGS I DON'T NEED

JUST EMBRACING MY NEW CREED

WORLD IS PUSHING HARD

JUST TAKE ANOTHER CARD

AND BE ON YOUR WAY

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP ON MOVING

YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO SAY, NO NO

GET OUT THERE AND GO

NO REST FOR THE WICKED

NO REST FOR YOU

SORRY THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN DO

AT LEAST YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALIVE

EVERYTHING YOU SEE HAS REAL MEANING

EMOTIONS RUN DEEP INSIDE OF YOU

NOTHING YOU COULD ESCAPE FROM

NOTHING YOU COULD EVER DO, YOU FEEL IT TO

YOU CATCH A FEELING ON THE WIND

SOMETHINGS GONNA CHANGE AGAIN

YOU FEEL IT ALL AROUND YOU

JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO

THOSE PUFFY LITTLE CLOUDS ARE CHANGING

INTO GREY BLACK SHROUDS

THE FIRST DROPS OF RAIN BEGIN TO FALL ON YOU

WHY DOES IT FEEL COLD AND BLUE

A THOUSAND DREAMS BEFORE

OPENED UP TO MORE

NOW I'M ALWAYS DREAMING

I'VE ALWAYS A REASON TO SMILE

IF IT'S GONE I DIDN'T NEED IT

LETTING GO OF THINGS I DON'T NEED

JUST EMBRACING MY NEW CREED

A THOUSAND DREAMS BEFORE

INDECISION

INDECISION

ONCE I THOUGHT I HAD A PLAN

I HAD FOUND A WAY

TO RISE ABOVE IT ALL AND FINALLY HAVE MY SAY

I STARTED CLIMBING A MEANS TO AN END

A SUDDEN STORM BLEW ME OFF

I HAD TO START AGAIN

ONCE I THOUGHT I HAD FOUND SOME GOLD

IT GLITTERED IN THE SUN

WHEN I TRIED TO CASH IT IN

THE MAN SAID YOU'RE DONE

ONCE I THOUGHT I'D FOUND A PRINCESS, I TOOK HER IN

BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS THE DEVILS DAUGHTER 

I PUT HER BACK AGAIN

HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO BLIND

THINKING I HAD ALL THIS TIME

LEARNING IT WAS BORROWED

NONE OF IT WAS MINE

BUT ON WE GO DRIFTING THROUGH EACH DAY

WONDERING IF THERE'S STILL A WAY 

WILL SOMEONE TELL ME

OR WILL IT REMAIN HIDDEN AWAY

ONCE I THOUGHT I'D FOUND PARADISE

BUT I WASN'T SURE, SO I SEARCHED SOME MORE

AND THE PARADISE I'D FOUND WAS LOST

IN THE TIME I WASN'T THERE

THAT'S THE COST, INDECISION LOST

ALL I KNEW WAS GONE

I HAD TO KEEP ON GOING

AND HOPE THERE WOULD COME A DAY

THAT I'D FIND ANOTHER PARADISE

AND THAT'S WHERE I WOULD STAY
