Zeppelin never left her
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her
(chorus)
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again said its nice to see her
Brendan now you’ve got to come she’s where I get my smile from
I’d like for you to meet her
Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh
(chorus)
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me
Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find.
I want a car that will crash through the barriers
to a road no one knows.
I want to feel less control,
want to bend and I want to land far from home.
The revolution of the earth around the sun
is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if i cannot learn
to journey and return,
to never rest till I've seen all I can see...
I want to learn a completely new language,
one I don't understand.
I want to help someone lost, someone helpless,
with the strength of my hand.
I want to come to the base of a statue built
before they counted the years,
and there i'll fall with my face in my hands and cry
and feel their hope in my tears.
The revolution of the earth around the sun
is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn,
to journey and return,
to never rest till I've seen all I can see...
Train rides and pastures colliding...
colors and customs i've never seen...
I know I, yes I know I,
I know I will stumble
but time is precious my friend.
Those who journey can easily understand,
the more they see the more they'll learn,
the more that they will be.
So this I swear to you, and this I swear to me,
I'll never rest till I've seen all I can see.
No, I'll never rest till I've seen all i can see.
I want to know where the stength of a person lies,
in their past or their future.
Is it in the way that they hurt or they love themselves
or is it all an illusion?
I want to crawl from this skin that i'm painted in...
Body, please let it give.
I want to find the creator of all good things
and ask what it means to live.

Here I am
In the desert again
A compass and a weapon
A lost American
I started out with a simple plan
And a locket in my hand
But the sun is so unforgiving
And the wind so hard to stand
Fall out, fall out
With the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
Carry out what your leader says
For what his leader says
Is that his leader says
This is right for the people
No one will ever understand what
Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live with
Doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
In the water, in the sand
Is the blood of a culture
Is the blood of an ancient people
In whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar
Say I can win this war
I promise them this
Isn’t what I signed up for
No one will ever understand what
Thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live
With doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I cannot die this way
No one will ever understand what
Thousands of beautiful healthy young soldiers must fall
Smoke and explosions surround me
A flood of hate, it drowns me
I cannot live this way
No I cannot live
With doubt and confusion
They find me
They run up right behind me
I cannot die this way
No, I will not die this way

There used to be nothing in common, there used to be nothing to share
It used to be sit by the window, and stare at what used to be there
It used to be lonely in numbers, impossibly weak on my feet
When the game starts and one person’s left out, it used to be me
But that was then and she is now, I once was lost with her I’m found, on this early April morning
Water falling from the sky, the sun that’s breaking fills my eye, and it came without a warning now
There used to be nothing in common, there used to be nothing to share
It used to be sit by the window, and stare at what used to be there
Like a king in his court at his table, who is blind to the power he holds
I could never come to understand all the powers I had of my own
But that was then and she is now, I once was lost with her I’m found on this early April morning
Water falling from the sky, the sun that’s breaking fills my eye, and it came without a warning now
I trust my love, I trust myself, I trust the love of someone else
I trust that I will get what I’ve been hoping, waiting for
The prison walls are crashing down as winter dies without a sound, on this early April Morning
Let the struggle end, the joy begin, it’s true it’s love I’m falling in, and it came without a warning now
And that was then and she is now, I once was lost with her I’m found on this early April morning
The water falling from the sky, the sun that’s breaking fills my eye, and it came without a warning now

I was a child once, the fear of the world in my eye
far from the safety of the other side
I colored by numbers, learned how to tie my own shoes
like all of the others I just prayed I’d make it through
prayed I would make it through
Oh Mother, look how your boy turned out 300 miles from that small town
You never stopped believing
Oh Daddy, it hurt to watch you walking out, but understand it made me stronger now
And so satisfied, so full of pride, thank you here from the other side
I’ll always remember, the kids and how mean they’d been
Eleven years old and I could not fit in
But I made it through high school and college according to plan
where pressure was never greater to become a man
Would I become a man
Oh mother….
Mother look how your boy turned out 300 miles from that small town
And Dad it hurt to watch you walking out, hear the piano do the crying now
For all the preachers and the teachers now, for all the ones who never let me down
I’m so satisfied, so full of pride, standing here on the other side, thank you here from the other side
Outro:
Here on the other side I’m taking my time
There’s nothing to fear, there’s nothing to worry about on the other side
I remember when I thought I’d never find
The other side

Can you feel the room spinning?
Can you feel what's happening?
Walls are caving, colors change.
The red you're wearing turns to grey.
Oceans rise and oceans subside.
Seasons give up, and so have I.
Holding you is holding you back from what you could be, what you could have.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
You never know what you're gonna find out there.
No, you never know until you look.
Memories as sweet as these, you cannot take them.
They belong to me.
Don't you worry, worry 'bout me.
Don't make this harder than it has to be.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
Run away, run away before it's too late.
You never know what you're gonna find out there.
No, you never know until you look.
Run away before it's too late to run away.
Run away before it's too late to run away before it's too late.
Run away, run away before it's too late to run away.
I want you to stay.
You never know what you're gonna find out there.
No, you never know until you look.

Become the champion of the numb.
Earn their trust.
Embrace the strength of one.
Decide it can be done.
Corrupt the worst of us.
Capsize their sinking love.
Forgive them from the start.
Command with a melting heart.
Begin, be not afraid.
Fall in, the day is brave.
Remember what has happened in our past.
So much is happening right now. So much can come.
So much will come.
So much will come.

The sun will rise the sun will save me
The sun will change me change the way I feel
The day will make this heart a fortune from the fruit of a hundred orchards
From the water rivers bring
The sun will rise the sun will save me from the night the sun will change me
Change the way I feel
I’ve had enough of the hard and harder times are tough and I’ve drifted farther
Farther from myself
I won’t dwell baby on my failures
It won’t help baby it won’t bring changes
I won’t run baby when all I want is to run
I won’t forget the morning’s sure to come
The sun will rise the sun will save me from then night the sun will change me
Change the way I feel
The love I want the love I need is sure to come is sure to lead me
Lead me home again
The light is low the night is burning, my head is still but my mind is turning
Turning round again
If only I can make it through this lonely night if I can do this
If I can drift away
Then the sun will rise the sun will save me from the night the sun will change me
Change the way I feel

Plains and painted trees, the long south willow street
A raging river turning.
Feelings never change, the names remain the same, and children go on learning.
Like all the town she fights, she prays she'll do it right.
With nature's sounds to guide her safely through the night.
All of Manchester together to carry on the weight that is life, that has changed over night
Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young.
This is all of Manchester together to carry us on
Shades of red and white in the blinking of an eye, the blues not far behind.
Free to live for the price of the cold November night,
A chill that never dies
Like all the town she fights, she prays she'll do it right.
With nature's sounds to guide her safely through the night.
All of Manchester together to carry on the weight that is life, that has changed over night
Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young.
This is all of Manchester together to carry us on
All of Manchester...
Father Roger speaks, he brings us to our knees...
Oh it's beautiful
All of Manchester together to carry on the weight that is life, that has changed over night
Let the good lend their hand and the old teach the young.
This is all of Manchester together to carry us on

If he came down from heaven and cleared the lines from your face
Said so long to the mistakes and questions and start over again.
Look in his eyes; you’ll find your own reflection, a face of hardship and pain
Your money saved and spent, your loves and losses, they’re not worth it again.
I feel like as people we’re afraid to wonder, afraid of our heaven and our hell.
My mother raised me with strength and measure; my father raised me too late.
Let your beat go on forever, they say we’re made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever, let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music, when their words are said and done.
Now fate lands you out in the open, a slave to the man inside your head
Your second chances, they’re buried deep in rock canyons
As you lie here in bed.
I feel like as people we’re afraid to question, afraid of uncertainty and death.
Pulling half my weight along, I’m begging for attention.
It’s hard to find a place to fit in.
Let your beat go on forever, they say we’re made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever, let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music, when their words are said and done.
It’s times like in our search for peace,
That it’s fear we’re most afraid of.
But the blood we bleed and the air we need
Are hardly cold or used up.
Let your beat go on forever, they say we’re made to live as one
Let this need to fear each other not be passed on to my son
Let your beat go on forever, let your fears down rivers run
Let the silence be the music, when their words are said and done.

Forget about Norman
Small town Rockwell
Scenes of simple life
Forget about savings and poignant phrasings,
Cigarettes and schoolyard fights
Let us out now Lord of our speed and fancy
Of our “can you hear me” now’s and our techno loves
Drop us off on 55th and keep us reading Vonnegut
Point out now what we’re careless of
My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they’re setting so
Forgive me
If I’m so ordinary with extraordinary reasons to live
It’s just like a boy to save his honor and his money
It’s just like a girl to feel
It’s just like a child to stand and interrupt us all
And say I’ll gladly take the fall for you
Now love, love, love, yes
It’s all you need
John and Paul Ringo George profess
If I’ve got love
I can feel I can remember every meal
But like a gift it can be taken all away
My chance in life is worth letting go
Of all the trends they’re setting so
Forgive me
If I’m so ordinary with extraordinary reasons to live
It’s just like a boy to save his honor and his money
It’s just like a girl to feel
It’s just like a child to stand and interrupt us all
And say I’ll gladly take the fall for you
I’ll gladly take the fall for you
