"All The World" by Kansas
All the world's forgiving the change is all around And people everywhere have seen the light in what they've found It's a happy place in the human race When all our lives are lived forgiving
All the world's for living when love is what you find Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show It's great when life is full of living
Everyone's aware they know to change the world we've got to care And people all should know should have happened long ago Or could it be that I just now found out
Life is meant to share and it means the same thing everywhere Living everyday, helping people on their way Cause sometimes life gives everyone some doubts
Can I have time? Is it right what I feel? At times I doubt what I normally know is real But right now I don't know what to do And it's all because of you I could tell you if I knew that you'd believe
As slight and elusive as life sometimes is Right or wrong as we both know we all can be I could never have denied that I need you by my side 'Cause without you life don't seem that much to me
I can see an old man cry, it's his time to die And life no longer gives him any breaks He hasn't got a home, no one to call his own Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take
When the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it? What can you do?
All the world's forgetting the hate that filled our hearts The times of selfish reasoning that keeps us all apart This world was meant to share, let them know you care By making someone's life worth living
All the world's believing that this felling's got to stay till all the world is living till all the world is giving till all the world is loving every day

"Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton
It’s late in the evening She’s wondering what clothes to wear She puts on her make up And brushes her long blonde hair And then she asks me Do I look alright And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady That’s walking around with me And then she asks me Do you feel alright And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all Is that you just don’t realize How much I love you
It’s time to go home now And I’ve got an aching head So I give her the car keys She helps me to bed And then I tell her As I turn out the light I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

Your Song
Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Waiting For A Miracle By Bruce Cockburn Look at them working in the hot sun The pilloried saints and the fallen ones Working and waiting for the night to come And waiting for a miracle
Somewhere out there is a place that's cool Where peace and balance are the rule Working toward a future like some kind of mystic jewel And waiting for a miracle
You rub your palm On the grimy pane In the hope that you can see You stand up proud You pretend you're strong In the hope that you can be Like the ones who've cried Like the ones who've died Trying to set the angel in us free While they're waiting for a miracle
Struggle for a dollar, scuffle for a dime Step out from the past and try to hold the line So how come history takes such a long, long time When you're waiting for a miracle
You rub your palm On the grimy pane In the hope that you can see You stand up proud You pretend you're strong In the hope that you can be Like the ones who've cried Like the ones who've died Trying to set the angel in us free While they're waiting for a miracle

Soul Of A Man By Bruce Cockburn I'm going to ask the question Please answer if you can Is there anybody's children can tell me What is the soul of a man?
Won't somebody tell me Answer if you can Won't somebody tell me Tell me what is the soul of a man?
I've travelled different countries Travelled to the furthest lands Couldn't find nobody could tell me What is the soul of a man
Won't somebody tell me Answer if you can Won't somebody tell me Tell me what is the soul of a man?
I saw a crowd stand talking I just came up in time Was teaching the lawyers and the doctors That a man ain't nothing but his mind
Won't somebody tell me Answer if you can Won't somebody tell me Tell me what is the soul of a man?
I read the Bible often I try to read it right As far as I can understand It's nothing but a burning light
Won't somebody tell me Answer if you can Won't somebody tell me Tell me what is the soul of a man?
When Christ taught in the temple The people all stood amazed Was teaching the lawyers and the doctors How to raise a man from the grave
Won't somebody tell me Answer if you can Won't somebody tell me Tell me what is the soul of a man?

Night Train By Bruce Cockburn Not a knife throw from here you can hear the night train passing That's the sound somebody makes when they're getting away Leaving next week's hanging jury far behind them Prisoner only of the choices they've made
Night train
Ice cube in a dark drink shines like starlight The moon is floating somewhere out at sea On an island in the blur of noise and color Alcatraz, St. Helena, Patmos and the Chateau D'If
Night train
And everyone's an island edged with sand A temporary refuge where somebody else can stand Till the sea that binds us like the forced tide of a blood oath Will wear it down - dissolve it - recombine it
Anyone can die here they do it every day It doesn't take much effort tho it goes against the grain And the ultimate forgetfulness of violence Sweeps the landscape like a headlight of a train
Night train
Ice cube in a dark drink shines like star light Starlight shines like glass shards in dark hair And the mind's eye tumbles out along the steel track Fixing every shadow with its stare
Night train Night train
And in the absence of a vision there are nightmares And in the absence of compassion there is cancer Whose banner waves over palaces and mean streets And the rhythm of the night train is a mantra

"Light Years" Artist: Pearl Jam
I've used hammers made out of wood I have played games with pieces and rules I've deciphered tricks at the bar but now your gone i havent figured out why Ive come up with riddles and jokes about war ive figured out numbers and what there for Ive understood feelings and ive understood words but how could u be taken away
And wherever you've gone and where ever we might go it dont seem fair today just disappeared your lights reflected now reflected from afar we were but stones your light made us stars
With heavy breath awakens regrets backpages and days alone that could've been spent together but we were miles apart every inch between becomes light years now no time to be void or save up on life uh you've got to spend it all
And wherever you've gone and where ever we might go it dont seem fair u seem to like it here your lights reflected now reflected from a far we were but stones your light made us stars
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go it dont seem fair today just disappeared your lights reflected now reflected from a far we were but stones your light made us stars

If A Tree Falls By Bruce Cockburn Rain forest Mist and mystery Teeming green Green brain facing labotomy Climate control centre for the world.
Ancient cord of coexistence Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam - From Sarawak to Amazonas Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills - Cortege rhythm of falling timber.
What kind of currency grows in these new deserts, These brand new flood plains?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall?
Cut and move on Cut and move on Take out trees Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day Take out people who've lived with this for 100,000 years - Inject a billion burgers worth of beef - Grain eaters - methane dispensers.
Through thinning ozone, Waves fall on wrinkled earth - Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars, Speak of a drowning - But this, this is something other. Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world Where wild things have to go To disappear Forever
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall?
