Oh what a beautiful World
Switch off ‘cuz they’re shutting the freeway down
Sit on your roof and listen to your heart
Everything’s gonna be alright…

I crashed down to the under-land
Can’t remember who I am
For miles and days I crawled alone
This labyrinth became my home
I felt he light but could not see
I saw the sun but could not feel
I walked the desert crossed the sea
Praying one day I would be free

We’ve got to learn to be happy with just an ordinary day
There is no ordinary day

And gradually I found my way
And learned to live just for the day
I felt the wind and watched the trees
I learned to sing their harmonies
And all the demons that I fought
I turned into songs of pure love
And I will ne’er fall again

Wouldn’t it be nice
You could live your life
Waking everyday with the purpose just to be happy
Why don’t we believe
Why don’t we conceive that we all can be happy

In summertime
I wished that I could fly
High above the brown smog
Drifting through the dark night
Flying with the stars

In summertime I wished that I could rise
Floating on a grey cloud
Looking down upon you

All rise

Everybody’s livin’ in screens, livin’ in screens
Everybody’s livin’in screens

Ya gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up
And get perspective

Everyday, praying at you laptop

 

A blink of the eye became a soul on the hill
The soul became a boy
Standing still
And the dreams of a working-class boy
Became the light that we breathe
Becomes the day that we be
But the fears of this working-class boy
Became the tears of a middle-class man
And the tears of the middle-class man
Became some kind of hell that we make for ourselves

I hope there is communication beyond the shopping mall
Those vampire corporations suck your life
We’ve got these pills for sleep
Our dreams are digitized
The ‘information junkies’ tapping on into the night
When are you gonna realise you’re still free

When you’re relying on machines to do your life
The only place to look is sky
When you’re relying on machines to do your life
The only place to go is sky

And the breaths of all the worlds
Become the gravity that keeps you down
And a billion little thoughts
A cacophony of beautiful sound
And the channels that you choose Become the love you leave behind
And the love you leave behind becomes the meaning of your life

I opened up the door to heaven
And a faint white ghost the old cheese moon looked down on me
As the sun poured through an ethereal screen
Like a momentary image from a beautiful dream
I thought of you and breathed a sigh of relief

I met a drummert in the desert but he’d lost his name
So we looked in the sand for a year and a day
Put our ears to the ground and heard the distant machines of LA
I said “Don’t worry my friend, this is what I believe
We should sit beneath the shade of a Joshua tree
When the sun brings out the lines ‘round you eyes you might feel
L;ike sleepin’”

I’ve felt the fear
I’ve felt the bliss
I’ve walked through the tears and rain and mist
And I’m never gonna give up
I’m never gonna give up

There’s somethin’ goin’ on around here
There’s somethin’ goin’on around here
I see the BIG DARK clouding the sky
And I think it’s gonna make me cry
Who put the devils in the machine?
Who put the devils in the machine?
I’ve been runnin’ ‘round the city like a man on fire
Tryin’ to find out where the water’s clean

I’m just tryin’ to do the work with my spiritual brothers…
All the animals, children and sisters and mothers

Don’t carry me
I walk on my own two feet
God give me strength
I’ve got my own two feet

Let me tell ya ‘bout a man I knew
Let me tell ya ‘bout a man I know
Lost his mind to the “WongaMan”
And dug himself a great big hole
Who put the devils in the machine?
Who put the devils in that hole?
‘Cos when you’re stuck underground and see the worms come out
It’s too late to save your soul!

I love my little monkey girl
She gently ties me to the ground
With strings of love to hold me down

Oh, messin’ about with you
Crazy naked dancing in the morning time
I thank God, whatever that is…
for you

I love my little monkey girl
Don’t ever let me be unbound
From strings of love that hold me down

This is the day come back from the dead
And all the noises in my head
This is the day, this is the sound
Of me escaping from a hole in the ground
I saw the yellow of the Autumn leaves The sky cracked and the sun came through
I thank you all a million times
I thank you all that this dream is mine

LifeLoveLife

This is the day come back from the dead
And all the noises in my head
This is the day, this is the sound
Of me escaping from a hole in the ground
You’ve gotta know that you’re beautiful
You’ve gotta know that you’re beautiful
You’ve gotta rise no matter what they say

You’ve gotta know that you’re beautiful

LifeLoveLife

I’m Happy!

Fade
All of this will fade
And all you’ve got is what you’ve made
All of this will fade

All of this will fade
Give it while you can
There’s no master plan
Take it all the way
‘Cos all of this will fade

All of this will fade
Give it while you can
There’s no turning back
Give it all away
‘Cos all of this will fade

All of this…
