    SUBCITY


    People say it doesn't exist
    'Cause no one would like to admit
    That there is a city underground
    Where people live everyday
    Off the waste and decay
    Off the discards of their fellow man

    Here in subcity life is hard
    We can't receive any government relief
    Won't you please, please give Mr. President my honest regards
    For disregarding me

    They say there's too much crime in these city streets
    My sentiments exactly
    Government and big business hold the purse strings
    When I worked I worked in the factories
    I'm at the mercy of the world
    I guess I'm lucky to be alive

    They say we've fallen through the cracks
    They say the system works
    But we won't let it
    Help
    I guess they never stop to think
    We might not just want handouts
    But a way to make an honest living
    Living this ain't living

    What did I do deserve this
    Had my trust in god
    Worked everyday of my life
    Thought I had some guarantees
    That's what I thought
    At least that's what I thought

    Last night I had another restless sleep
    Wondering what tomorrow might bring
    Last night I dreamed
    A cold blue light was shining down on me
    I screamed myself awake
    Thought I must be dying
    Thought I must be dying

    BORN TO FIGHT


    They're tryin' to take away my pride
    By stripping me of everyhing I own
    They're tryin' to hurt me inside
    And make me into a white man's drone

    But this one's not for sale
    And I was born to fight
    I ain't been knocked down yet
    I was born to fight
    I'm the surest bet

    There ain't no man no woman
    No beast alive that can beat me
    'Cause I'm born to fight
    They're tryin' to dig into my soul
    And take away the spirit of my god
    They're tryin' to take control
    And monitor my every thought

    I won't let down my guard
    And I was born to fight
    I ain't been knocked down yet
    I was born to fight
    I'm the surest bet

    There ain't no man no woman
    No beast alive that can beat me
    'Cause I'm born to fight

    A HUNDRED YEARS


    Baby sweet baby
    Won't you please
    Come on back home to me
    I've been so lonely
    These few days feel like
    A hundred years

    How you make me worry baby
    How you make me worry about you
    Here I am I'm knowing
    That I can't live without you
    Here I am thinking
    Someday we make this a long time thing
    Here I am I'm knowing
    That I would do most anything
    If you keep on loving me
    Baby

    Baby sweet baby
    I've been waiting
    Seem like waiting is all I do
    Don't say you won't come back to me
    And make me have to go out chasing after you
    We get in a fight
    You stay out late
    You have no idea
    How much you make me worry baby
    Called everyone in town
    I think you know
    So come on now
    Come on come on
    Back home

    Baby sweet baby
    I'm a fool in love
    But I still got my pride too
    I'll wait a little longer
    I'll suffer for my heart
    Then I'll go find someone to worry about me
    As much as I worry about you

    THIS TIME


    This time
    I won't show I'm vulnerable
    This time
    I won't give in first
    This time
    I will hold out with my love
    This time
    I will not be hurt

    I'm gonna love myself
    More than anyone else
    I'm gonna treat me right
    I'm gonna make you say
    That you love me first
    And you'll be the one with the most to lose tonight
    This time

    This time
    I won't let my emotions rule my life
    This time
    I'm gonna keep my heart locked safe inside
    This time
    I'm gonna be my own best friend
    This time
    I'm gonna be the one

    To win
    Your love
    Your affection
    To hide
    My fear
    Of rejection

    ALL THAT YOU HAVE IS YOUR SOUL


    Oh my mama told me
    'Cause she say she learned the hard way
    She say she wanna spare the children
    She say don't give or sell your soul away
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    Well I was a pretty young girl once
    I had dreams I had high hopes
    I married a man he stole my heart away
    He gave his love but what a high price I paid
    All that you have is your soul

    So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    Why was I such a young fool
    Thought I'd make history
    Making babies was the best I could do
    Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
    Found out the hard way one can't possess another
    And all that you have is your soul

    So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    I thought, thought that I could find a way
    To beat the system
    To make a deal and have no debts to pay
    I'd take it all, Id take it all, I'd run away
    Me for myself first class and first rate
    But all that you have is your soul

    So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day
    A second chance
    A little luck to come my way
    A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again
    And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
    Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
    Hunger only for a taste of justice
    Hunger only for a world of truth
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    Oh my mama told me
    'Cause she say she learned the hard way
    She say she wanna spare the children
    She say don't give or sell your soul away
    'Cause all that you have is your soul

    All that you have
    All that you have
    All that you have
    Is your soul

    HEAVEN'S HERE ON EARTH


    You can look to the stars in search of the answers
    Look for God and life on distant planets
    Have your faith in the ever after
    While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth
    And heaven's here on earth

    We are the spirit the collective conscience
    We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world

    Heaven's here on earth
    In our faith in humankind
    In our respect for what is earthly
    In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

    I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise
    Of ordinary people leading ordinary lives
    Filled with love, compassion, forgiveness and sacrifice

    Heaven's in our hearts
    In our faith in humankind
    In our respect for what is earthly
    In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

    Look around
    Believe in what you see
    The kingdom is at hand
    The promised land is at your feet
    We can and will become what we aspire to be

    If Heaven's here on earth
    If we have faith in humankind
    And respect for what is earthly
    And an unfaltering belief that truth is divinity
    And heaven's here on earth

    I've seen spirits
    I've met angels
    Touched creations beautiful and wondrous
    I've been places where I question all I think I know
    But I believe, I believe, I believe this could be heaven
    We are born inside the gates with the power to create life
    And to take it away
    The world is our temple
    The world is our church
    Heaven's here on earth

    If we have faith in human kind
    And respect for what is earthly
    And an unfaltering belief
    In peace and love and understanding
    This could be heaven here on earth

    NEW BEGINING


    The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
    It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
    There's too much pain, too much suffering
    Let's resolve to start all over make a new beginning

    Now don't get me wrong - I love life and living
    But when you wake up and look around at everything that's going down -
    All wrong
    You see we need to change it now, this world with too few happy endings
    We can resolve to start all over make a new beginning

    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over

    The world is broken into fragments and pieces
    That once were joined together in a unified whole
    But now too many stand alone - There's too much separation
    We can resolve to come together in the new beginning

    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over

    We can break the cycle - We can break the chain
    We can start all over - In the new beginning
    We can learn, we can teach
    We can share the myths the dream the prayer
    The notion that we can do better
    Change our lives and paths
    Create a new world and

    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over

    The whole world's broke and it ain't worth fixing
    It's time to start all over, make a new beginning
    There's too much fighting, too little understanding
    It's time to stop and start all over
    Make a new beginning

    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over

    We need to make new symbols
    Make new signs
    Make a new language
    With these we'll define the world

    And start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over
    Start all over ...

    SMOKE AND ASHES


    I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
    About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
    About the sea of tears too wide to cross
    But a little bad press has never scared me off
    So I burned a path to figure out
    How to get me some of what you got

    I've got a red hot heart
    If the talk is true your's is the same
    And we should be together
    And let our passions fan love's flame

    When I looked for you I almost passed you by
    You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied
    But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
    It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got

    I've got a red hot heart
    If the talk is true your's is the same
    And we should be together
    And let our passions fan love's flame

    I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine
    I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other
    But my right is your wrong
    And when you're right then I'm left with nothing
    Your light and your heat have all been spent
    Leaving only smoke and ashes
    Only smoke and ashes baby

    I've got a red hot heart
    Any your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
    I say there's fire down below
    You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

    I'm crying all the time
    Salty stinging tears
    And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
    But knowing now for certain that you were always right
    Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
    It's only smoke and ashes baby
    Only smoke and ashes baby

    I've got a red hot heart
    And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
    I say there's fire down below
    You say it's only smoke and ashes baby

    I was blinded by devotion
    My unwavering love for you
    So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
    But now I know for certain since you've gone away
    It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
    Only smoke and ashes baby

    I've got a red hot heart
    And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
    I say there's fire down below
    You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
    Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ...

    COLD FEET


    There was a little boy once upon a time
    Who in spite of his young age and small size knew his mind
    For every copper penny and clover he would find
    Make a wish for better days, the end of hard times
    For no more cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    His clothes were always clean
    His face was always scrubbed
    There was food on the table, enough to fill him up
    His house was full of life, his house was full of love
    But when winter days arrived there was never
    Money enough to shod his cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    He grew up to be a worker determined to succeed
    He made a life for himself
    Free from worldly wants or needs
    But with nobody to share the life he'd made
    No body to keep him warm at night
    When he'd go to sleep - he'd sleep alone
    With his cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    One night he walked the streets
    Looking to the heavens above
    Searching for a shooting star, a benevolent God
    When a woman passing by brushed his arm
    He turned and found love
    He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger who she was
    To not have cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    One year later he stood beside her
    He vowed "I'll give you everything you want"
    She said "I'll take some love from my heart to keep your body warm"
    "You won't have cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet"
    He thought she'd like the party life
    And want the finer things
    So he promised more than he could buy
    And he'd promise her the sun and moon
    To not have cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    He worked day and night his fingers to the bone
    His worried mind guilty conscience drive him on
    He can give her what she needs
    He wants to give her what he thinks she wants
    Her sad-eyed face
    His empty pockets drive him on
    And his cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    He'd struggled all his life to be an honest man
    Proud that the dirt on his palms was the soil of the land
    But some guys he knew from high school
    Said they had a plan to get rich quick
    And they could count him in
    If he don't have cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    He thought about their offer
    Accepted it without qualms
    Dreamt about the life he'd buy
    The comfort that would come
    Without cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet
    He decided to drive the car
    He decided to carry the gun
    To take the biggest risk of all
    To prove his loyalty to his friends
    He decided to tell his wife
    Things would soon turn around
    He said "the little boy is dead, a man stands with you now
    Without cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet"
    He thought he'd set his clock right
    He thought he'd read his watch
    He left in such a hurry
    He didn't think to wish for luck
    Makes no difference if you're early
    No difference if you're late
    When you're out of time
    The flowers have been laid
    You're six feet underground
    With cold feet - cold, cold, cold, cold feet

    AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE


    Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
    Oh I, Oh I've
    Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right

    At this point in my life
    I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
    If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
    If you give me a chance I'll try

    You see it's been a hard road the road I'm traveling on
    And if I take your hand I might lead you down the path to ruin
    I've had a hard life I'm just saying it so you'll understand
    That right now, right now, I'm doing the best I can
    At this point in my life

    At this point in my life
    Although I've mostly walked in the shadows
    I'm still searching for the light
    Won't you put your faith in me
    We both know that's what matters
    If you give me a chance I'll try

    You see I've been climbing stairs but mostly stumbling down
    I've been reaching high always losing ground
    You see I've been reaching high but always losing ground
    You see I've conquered hills but I still have mountains to climb
    And right now right now I'm doing the best I can
    At this point in my life

    Before we take a step
    Before we walk down that path
    Before I make any promises
    Before you have regrets
    Before we talk commitment
    Let me tell you of my past
    All I've seen and all I've done
    The things I'd like to forget
    At this point in my life

    At this point in my life
    I'd like to live as if only love mattered
    As if redemption was in sight
    As if the search to live honestly
    Is all that anyone needs
    No matter if you find it

    You see when I've touched the sky
    The earth's gravity has pulled me down
    But now I've reconciled that in this world
    Birds and angels get the wings to fly
    If you can believe in this heart of mine
    If you can give it a try
    Then I'll reach inside and find and give you
    All the sweetness that I have
    At this point in my life

    At this point in my life

    THE PROMISE


    If you wait for me
    then I'll come for you
    Although I've traveled far
    I always hold a place for you in my heart

    If you think of me
    If you miss me once in awhile
    Then I'll return to you
    I'll return and fill that space in your heart

    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    If you'll be waiting

    If you dream of me
    like I dream of you
    In a place that's warm and dark
    In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    If you'll be waiting

    I've longed for you
    And I have desired
    To see your face your smile
    To be with you wherever you are

    Remembering
    Your touch
    Your kiss
    Your warm embrace
    I'll find my way back to you
    Please say you'll be waiting

    Together again
    It would feel so good to be
    In your arms
    Where all my journeys end
    If you can make a promise
    If it's one that you can keep
    I vow to come for you
    If you wait for me

    And say you'll hold
    A place for me
    in your heart.

    THE RAPE OF THE WORLD


    Mother of us all
    Place of our birth
    How can we stand aside
    And watch the rape of the world

    This the beginning of the end
    This the most heinous of crimes
    This the deadliest of sins
    The greatest violation of all time

    Mother of us all

    You know the sun shines
    Hotter than ever before

    Mother of us all
    Place of our birth
    We all are witness
    To the rape of the world

    Some claim to have crowned her
    A queen
    With cities of concrete and steel
    But there is no glory no honor
    In what results
    From the rape of the world

    Mother of us all
    Place of our birth
    We all are witness
    To the rape of the world

    She has been clear-cut
    She has been dumped on
    She has been poisoned and beaten up
    And we have been witness
    To the rape of the world

    Mother of us all
    Place of our birth
    How can we stand aside
    And watch the rape of the world

    If you look you'll see it with your own eyes
    If you listen you will hear her cries
    If you care you will stand and testify
    And stop the rape of the world

    Stop the rape of the world
    Mother of us all
    Mother of us all
    Mother of us all

    But you got to call me

    Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
    Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
    Said I don't want leave you lonely
    You got to make me change my mind

    I don't want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
    I don't want no one to squeeze me - they might take away my life
    I just want someone to hold me and rock me through the night

    This youthful heart can love you yes and give you what you need
    I said this youthful heart can love you and give you what you need
    But I'm too old to go chasing you around
    Wasting my precious energy

    Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
    Give me one reason to stay here - and I'll turn right back around
    Said, I don't want leave you lonely
    You got to make me change my mind

    Baby just give me one reason - Give me just one reason why
    Baby just give me one reason - Give me just one reason why I should stay
    Said I told you that I loved you
    And there ain't no more to say

    REMEMBER THE TINMAN


    There are locks on the doors
    And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside
    There's a gate and a fence
    And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside

    Who stole your heart left you with a space
    That no one and nothing can fill
    Who stole your heart who took it away
    Knowing that without it you can't live

    Who took away the part so essential to the whole
    Left you a hollow body
    Skin and bone
    What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key

    Who stole your heart
    The smile from your face
    The innocence the light from your eyes
    Who stole your heart or did you give it away
    And if so then when and why

    Who took away the part so essential to the whole
    Left you a hollow body
    Skin and bone
    What robber what thief
    Who stole your heart and the key

    Now all sentiment is gone
    Now you have no trust in no one

    Who stole your heart
    Did you know but forget the method and moment in time
    Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand
    A strong elixir or a potion that you drank

    Who hurt your heart
    Bruised it in a place
    That no one and nothing can heal
    You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men
    You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent

    But still all sentiment is gone
    But still you have no trust in no one

    If you can tear down the walls
    Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades
    If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay
    And don't forget that you defend an empty space

    And remember the tinman
    Found he had what he thought he lacked
    Remember the tinman
    Go find your heart and take it back

    Who stole your heart
    Maybe no one can say
    One day you will find it I pray
    Gaa wiin daa-aangoshkigaazo ahaw enaabiyaan gaa-inaabid
