Dust In The Wind
I close my eyes, only for a moment,
and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes,
a curiosity
Dust in the wind,
all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water
in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground,
though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind,
All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on,
nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away,
all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Icarus - Borne On Wings Of Steel
Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I won't come down no more
Higher than a bird I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel I have so much to feel
And I won't come down no more
Sail on, sail on, I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I'd surely die
I found my freedom flyin' high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Floating on a cloud of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
Earth so far below me,
I'm here alone, free
I can't come down no more
Carry On Wayward Son
(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher,
but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see
I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think
I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say
(Chorus)
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man,
it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune,
but I hear the voices say
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
(Chorus)
The Wall
I'm woven in a fantasy,
I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now
has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel
a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me,
a dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty, towering,
marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase
To pass beyond is what I seek,
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through
to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting
like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece,
the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there,
the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering,
blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see
Gold and diamonds cast a spell,
it's not for me I know it well
The treasures that I seek
are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure
in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me,
I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be,
in harmony
Shining true and smiling back
at all who wait to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS
What's On My Mind
Well you told me that I was just not the one,
And you left me standing out in the cold
It's been a long time and I'm so much better now
That I'm looking back and seeing it all
And for the first time there's no pain in my life
Though it's a long hard road that I've gone
We had a good thing
and it made me a man cause I know
(Chorus)
You got me goin',
pardon me my feelings are showing
I'm only saying what's on my mind
Well I found you or maybe I found myself
And I think we knew it all of the time
We fit together just like a lock and a key
And we opened up each other's minds
Yeah, I was laughing
'caus there was no room to cry
There was too much growing to do
We had a good time
and it ain't over yet 'cause I know
(Chorus)
You came from nowhere
and you just jumped in my life,
And I know it never will be the same
You made me love you
and now I'm home once again
No, I never want to leave you no more
'Caus I'm attached to the better half of myself
And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be
You filled an empty,
you fixed a bad broken heart, and I know
(Chorus)
