I CAN'T WAIT
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MORNING TO COME
RAN MY WHOLE
LIFE JUST TO BE HERE TODAY
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MORNING TO COME
TO SEE THE WORLD IN THE LIGHT OF THE DAY
HOW CAN YOU HOPE IF YOU NO LONGER DREAM
WHAT CAN YOU FIND IF YOU NO LONGER SEE
WHERE WILL YOU STAND WHEN YOU'RE
NO LONGER FREE
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MORNING TO COME
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MORNING TO COME
WHAT WILL I DO IF THIS NIGHT NEVER
ENDS
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MORNING TO COME
RAN MY WHOLE LIFE
JUST TO BE HERE TODAY
WHY MUST WE FIGHT IF WE'VE NOTHING TO GAIN
WHEN DO WE REST FROM THE LOSS AND THE PAIN
WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE, WHAT WOULD REMAIN
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MORNING TO COME
RELIGION
DON'T TELL ME ABOUT GOD, TELL ME ABOUT LOVE
NOT ABOUT HISTORY, OR YOUR COUNTRY, OR YOUR RELIGION
DON'T TELL ME ABOUT SIN, TELL
ME ABOUT LOVE
AND LEAVE MY ETERNAL SOUL THE HELL ALONE
IT
AIN'T ABOUT THE BOOK YOU READ
IT AIN'T ABOUT YOU AND ME
IT'S
ABOUT LOVE
DON'T TELL ME WHAT'S RIGHT, TELL ME ABOUT
LOVE
NOT ABOUT ALLAH, NOT ABOUT KARMA, NOT ABOUT WHAT TRIP YOU'RE ON
DON'T QUOTE ME FROM THE TORAH, DON'T BRING ME TO JESUS
DON'T CONFUSE THE TRUTH WITH
WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
IT AIN'T ABOUT BEING SAVED
OR WHAT WORDS
YOU PRAY
IT'S ABOUT LOVE
DON'T TELL ME ABOUT PEACE, SING ABOUT LOVE
NO CONCLUSIONS, NO SOLUTIONS, NO KINGDOM'S
COME
DON'T RAVE ABOUT YOUR FREEDOM, SHOUT ABOUT LOVE
PEOPLE
ENSLAVE THEMSELVES EVERYDAY WITH POSSESSIONS
FORGET ABOUT EQUALITY
BREATHE AND JUST BE
BE ABOUT LOVE
FOR THE FALLEN
EVERYONE SEES, AND
EVERYONE KNOWS
WE CAN NEVER GO BACK TO THE WAY THAT IT WAS
THE
DAYS GROW SHORT, BUT THE NIGHTS DRAG ON
WE YEARN FOR A TIME THAT IS ALL BUT GONE
SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW THAT WE'VE LOST OUR WAY
WE CAN'T JUST STAND HERE,
WE CAN'T JUST WAIT
FOR ANSWERS TO FALL LIKE RAIN FROM THE SKY
WE PAID THE COST, REBUILT OUR LIVES
WE FORGAVE, AND NEVER THOUGHT TWICE
FORGOT OUR HATRED, AND FROM ASHES MADE
A WAY TO MOVE ON, A WAY TO EASE
OUR PAIN
BUT OH HOW WE'VE CHANGED, COMPLETELY TURNED AROUND
ALLOWED
OUR FEARS TO DRAG US DOWN
THERE'S NO ALL FOR ONE, NO MORE ONE FOR ALL
AND SO I CRY, THEN CRY SOME MORE
FOR THE
FALLEN, THEN FOR US ALL
IT'S JUST SUCH A SHAME WHAT WE'VE BECOME
AMERICA
THE SUM
OF ALL I'VE BEEN
I'M PASSED THOSE DAYS OF WONDER
WHEN
IT WAS EASY TO SURRENDER
WHEN I'D SIT FOR DAYS AND PONDER...FOREVER
I'VE REACHED THAT AGE OF REASON
LIKE THE CHANGING OF THE SEASON
I'M WHERE THIS ROAD I TOOK'S BEEN LEADING...FOREVER
RF: IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE SO MUCH OF LIFE HAS GONE BY
TO WRAP MY MIND AROUND SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS
AND YET HERE
I AM...THE SUM OF ALL I'VE BEEN
I'M A REFLECTION
IN A WINDOW
EASILY FORGETTABLE
SAYING NOTHING IN MY PASSING
THEN DISAPPEARING
I'M THE WORDS TO A SONG I ONCE WROTE
IT'S BEEN SO LONG I REALLY DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY HOW IT WENT
NOR WHAT IT MEANT (RF)
EVENTUALLY, IT'S
A MATTER OF KNOWING
THERE'S MORE TO LEAVING THAN JUST GOING
MORE
TO LIVING THAN JUST SHOWING UP
MORE TO PEOPLE THAN THE SMILES ON THEIR FACES
MORE TO THIS WORLD THAN RUNNING A RACE I CAN'T WIN
EVENTUALLY...(RF)
WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
TAKE A STEP IN MY DIRECTION
A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME
IS ALL THAT I'M ASKIN
THAT YOU OPEN UP YOUR MIND
CH: THERE'S A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
A REASON THAT WE FEEL
A REASON WE BELIEVE
IT'S ALL TOO REAL
NO MATTER HOW IT SEEMS
A WORLD WITHIN A WORLD
A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM
YOU GOTTA STAND FOR SOMETHING
HOW ABOUT STANDING UP WITH ME
IT'S ALL SO CONFUSING
BUT TOGETHER WE WILL SEE (CH)
ALL OUT OF TIME
THE ROOM IS GROWING DARK, I GOT SHADOWS ON MY EYES
THE ROOM IS GROWING DARK, I GOT SHADOWS ON MY EYES
THEY SAY THAT'S WHAT
YOU SEE, YEAH, RIGHT BEFORE YOU DIE
MY HANDS CAN'T
STOP SHAKING, I'M COLD RIGHT TO THE BONE
MY HANDS CAN'T STOP SHAKING, I'M COLD RIGHT TO THE
BONE
I KNOW I LEFT YOU STANDING, BUT DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE
I TRAVELLED ALL MY LIFE, NO PLACE TO CALL MY HOME
I TRAVELLED ALL MY
LIFE, NO PLACE TO CALL MY HOME
NEVER HAD MUCH MONEY, OR NOTHING TO CALL MY OWN
TELL MY CHILDREN NOT TO MOURN, MY FATHER NOT TO CRY
TELL MY CHILDREN NOT TO MOURN, MY FATHER NOT TO CRY
I'M LEAVING THIS
OLD WORLD, GO WALKING ON THE OTHER SIDE
I GOT NOTHING
LEFT TO LOSE, NOTHING LEFT TO FIND
I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE, NOTHING LEFT TO FIND
I'M ALL OUT OF DREAMS, AND NOW I'M ALL OUT OF TIME
UNTIL WE CAN'T ANYMORE
IS IT IMPORTANT THAT I FIND THE ANSWER
I'M LOOKING EVERYWHERE I GO
PERHAPS IF I UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION
THE EXPLANATION WOULD COME ALL BY ITSELF
THERE IS NO YESTERDAY AND NO TOMORROW
ONLY THIS MOMENT REALIZED
A MOMENT OF BOTH JOY AND SORROW
MOVING FREELY, AND COMPLETELY ALL BY ITSELF
WE WANT, THEREFORE WE SUFFER
WE
WANDER, THEREFORE WE STRAY
WE STRUGGLE UNTIL WE CAN'T ANYMORE
WHEN
THE TIME JUST MELTS AWAY
TRUTH IS FOUND IN A MINEFIELD
THERE ARE NO EASY ROADS TO TAKE
EVENTUALLY WE MUST SURRENDER OURSELVES
TO THE REALITY, AND FINALITY THAT WE FACE
YOU NEED LOVE
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR NUMBERS,
CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR WORDS
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR SMILES
LOOK
WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO YOUR WORLD
SOME FOLKS NEVER LEARN
YOU
CAN'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT, CAN'T TRUST IN MEDICINE
YOU NEED MORE THAN GOOD INTENTION
TO GET YOU THROUGH THE DAY
TO HELP YOU ON YOUR WAY
RF: READ THE HEADLINES, HEAR THE NEWS
SENSE THE FEAR, THAT'S THE WORLD CLOSING IN ON YOU
WELL YOU
COULD RUN, BUT WHERE WOULD YOU GO
YOU NEED LOVE, YOU NEED
SOMEONE YOU CAN HOLD
YOU CAN'T BE BLIND IN YOUR FAITH,
FAITH IN YOUR FELLOW MAN
HE'LL MANIPULATE, AND COMPLICATE
AND
TAKE EVERYTHING HE CAN
THEN REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND
YOU CAN'T
BE SLOW TO REACT WHEN YOUR LIFE IS ON THE LINE
YOU CAN'T WAIT ON SOMEONE ELSE
TO LEAD YOU TO THE LIGHT
MAN, OPEN YOUR EYES (RF)
HOLD ON TO YOUR LOVER, TAKE SOLACE IN YOUR FRIENDS
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND LEAVE ALL THE REST
TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED, LET GO OF YOUR
WANTS
PURSUE WHAT MATTERS
AND THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS
IS LOVE
IN BAGHDAD TONIGHT
A CAR DOOR SLAMS, SOMEWHERE IN THE DARKNESS DOGS BEGIN TO HOWL
SHOTS RING OUT, AND IN THE ECHO LIVES ARE CHANGED FOREVER
UNCERTAINTY PREVAILS AND
RIPS THROUGH THE NIGHT, LIKE A BULLET IN FLIGHT
NEVER BOTHERS ASKING ABOUT THE WHO, WHAT,
OR WHY UNTIL THE COFFINS ARRIVE
AND THE WIDOWS ALL CRY
RF: NO ONE SLEEPS IN AFGHANISTAN TONIGHT
THERE AIN'T NO DREAMS COMING TRUE IN BAGHDAD TONIGHT
AND THERE'S
SOMETHING VERY WRONG IN WASHINGTON TONIGHT
TRUTH
IS A LIE, PEOPLE BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT
AND IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR TRUST, YOU WON'T FIND IT
CULTURES COLLIDE, AND IN THE CONFUSION INDIFFERENCE IS BORN
AND SUSPICIONS
RUN WILD
WAR KNOWS NO FRIEND, IF YOU'RE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
WELL,
YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE
IT'S DESOLATION ONLY SPREADS, IT'S HOPELESSNESS ONLY GROWS
AND IN TIME NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR (RF)
