Sleep Theory - Gravity

 
Girl you gotta tell me something
Is he the kinda man you wanted
Can he really give you everything you need?
When you see him, do you get excited?
Does he really know the way you like it
'Cause the way you're looking at me tells me differently

They say love is not a game but he keeps playing with you
And does he keep the promises he always makes you?
All your friends keep telling me you want something new
And I know it, and you know it, baby

He says he loves you but I know how you feel inside
Your eyes say everything I know you've been trying to hide
Don't try to fight it after all you been through
Got your head in the clouds, nothing bringing you down
I could be the gravity that brings the ground to you

Let me know
Is there anywhere for this to go
Your body your body, don't wanna look away
I'm sorry, not sorry, there's nothing left to say

Love is not a game but he keeps playing with you
Playing with you
And does he keep the promises he always makes you?
All your friends are telling me you want something new
And I know it, and you know it, baby

He says he loves you but I know how you feel inside
Your eyes say everything I know you've been trying to hide
Don't try to fight it after all you been through
Got your head in the clouds, nothing bringing you down
I could be the gravity that brings the ground to you

Love is not a game, love is not a g—
He's playing with your heart
And I won't do the same
And I won't do the same
Love is not a game, love is not a game
He's playing with your heart
But I won't do the same

All of the ways you look at me
My perfect match, my harmony
It's grabbing me like gravity, it pulls me into you
All of the ways you look at me
My perfect match, my harmony
It's grabbing me like gravity, it pulls me into you

He says he loves you but I know how you feel inside
Your eyes say everything I know you've been trying to hide
Don't try to fight it after all you been through
Got your head in the clouds, nothing bringing you down
I could be the gravity that brings the ground to you

He says he loves you but I know how you feel inside
It's grabbing me like gravity
Your eyes say everything I know you've been trying to hide
All of the ways you look at me
Don't try to fight it after all you been through
Got your head in the clouds, nothing bringing you down
I could be the gravity that brings the ground to you 

 

Nightly - No Vacancy

 
Break through the neon lights
Stay up to talk all night
Sneak in the windowpanes, you call my name
When I'm with you
Feels like fire

Hey, but you feel it too
Inhale and exhale you
It's a little too much for me
Too much too soon
When I'm with you
It feels like fire

Nothing is easy, baby
I wish I could let you in
But inside of me
There's a sign that reads, 'no vacancy'

Flashbacks to hotel rooms
Echoes of me and you
What I wouldn't give to be there one more time
Without you here
Feels like fire

Nothing is easy, baby
I wish I could let you in
But inside of me
There's a sign that reads, 'no vacancy'

Nothing is easy, baby
I wish I could let you in
But inside of me
There's a sign that reads, 'no vacancy'
No vacancy
No vacancy

Nothing is easy, baby
I wish I could let you in
But inside of me
There's a sign that reads, 'no vacancy'
No vacancy
No vacancy

Teddy Swims - Blinding Lights (The Weeknd cover)

 
I been tryna call
I been on my own for long enough
Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
I'm going through withdrawals
You don't even have to do too much
You can turn me on with just a touch, baby

I look around and Sin City's cold and empty
No one around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone

And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
And I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
Hey, hey, hey

I'm running out of time
'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
So I hit the road in overdrive, baby

Oh, the city's cold and empty
No one around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone

And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
And I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust

I'm just walking by to let you know (By to let you know)
I can never say it on the phone (Say it on the phone)
Will never let you go this time

I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
(Hey, hey, hey)

Ooh...

(Hey, hey, hey)

Ooh...

And I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch 

 

Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton - Say Something

 
Ooh
Yeah, alright
Ooh

Everyone knows all about my direction
And in my heart somewhere
I wanna go there, still I don't go there

Everybody says, "say something that says something"
"Say something that says something", say something that says something
I don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it

But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have

Everyone knows all about my transgressions
Still in my heart somewhere
There's melody and harmony
For you and me, tonight
Whoa, I hear them call my name

Everybody says, "say something that says something"
"Say something that says something", say something that says something
I don't wanna get caught up in the rhythm of it

But I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No, I can't help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)

Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes, the greatest way to say something is to say nothing

But I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no
Caught up in the middle of it
No I can't help myself, no I can't help myself, no, no, no
Caught up in the rhythm of it

Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)
Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have
(Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have)

Sometimes the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes the greatest way to say something is to say nothing at all
Sometimes the greatest way to say something is to say nothing 



 

Breathe - How Can I fall

 
Give me time to care
The moment's here for us to share
Still my heart is not always there
What more can I say to you?

Could I lie to you?
I'm just too weak to face the truth
Now I know I should make a move
What more can I say?

How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all

When all faith is gone
I fight myself to carry on
Yes, I know of the harm I do
What more can I say to you?

Now I hold this line
I know the choice to leave is mine
I can't help what I feel inside
What more can I say?

How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all

I'll follow through, I'll say I do
When the time is far more right for you
I'll make that move, and when I do
Will I doubt again, the way I do?

How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all

How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons

How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons

Just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons at all

How can I fall, I fall, I fall?
How can I fall for you?

How can I fall, how can I fall?
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons

 

Bad English - Straight To Your Heart

 
I can't reach behind your eyes
You always look away
You hide behind your alibis
And change your mind
From day to day
If there's something I can do
Then I'll be there
Outside your broken world
You'll see it's me who cares
Take me straight to your heart
Cause this time's real
And real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause you know
I've been there before
Straight to your heart
I watch you move
And I watch you dance
I watch you drift away
And I'd give anything for you
And you know that's bad
When it gets that way
You can't go on like this
And I don't wanna fight again
I don't give a damn anymore

Right or wrong you're gonna let me in
Straight to your heart
Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause you know I've been there before
Straight to your heart this time this time
Baby I know where you are
Cause you know I've been there before
Then maybe I'll break down the walls
And my love will go
Straight to your heart
Inside
Take me inside yeah
Straight to your heart
Cause this time's real and real lasts forever
I know where you are
Cause this time we're goin' all the way
Straight to your heart
This time
This time
Baby it's straight
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
This time it's straight to your heart
Oh yeah
Cause this time it's real 

 

Lionville - I Will Wait

 
In the darkness of the night
I will find my shelter
Patiently wait for your tears to dry
Come on and give me a sign
Tell me what is going on
Cause I´m really not a stranger
I am the one who´s been always there

I will wait for you
Till the hurricane blows over
Save you from danger
Until you find your way
I will wait for you even
Through the witching hour
Love don´t come easy but I am here to say

Second guesses in the dark
In a maze of shadows
There´s nothing right now making sense to you
I know it´s hard to believe
But even though his gone
And it feels like it´s all wrong
something much better will come your way

I will wait for you
Till the hurricane blows over
Save you from danger
Until you find your way
I will wait for you even
Through the witching hour
Love don´t come easy but I am here to say
I will wait for you
While you fight your sea of sorrow
I´m right beside you, I won´t let you drown
I will wait for you even if it takes forever
I still be holding on yes I am here to say

Alain Bashung - La nuit je mens (Again & Again)


 
On m'a vu dans le VercorsSauter à l'élastiqueVoleur d'amphoresAu fond des criquesJ'ai fait la cour à des murènesJ'ai fait l'amour, j'ai fait le mortT'étais pas née
 
À la station balnéaireTu t'es pas fait prierJ'étais gant de crin, geyserPour un peu je trempaisHistoire d'eau
 
La nuit je mensJe prends des trains à travers la plaineLa nuit je mensJe m'en lave les mainsJ'ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questionsOù subsiste encore ton échoOù subsiste encore ton écho
 
J'ai fait la saisonDans cette boîte crânienneTes penséesJe les faisais miennesT'accaparer seulement t'accaparerD'estrade en estradeJ'ai fait danser tant de malentendusDes kilomètres de vie en rose
 
Un jour au cirqueUn autre à chercher à te plaireDresseur de loulousDynamiteur d'aqueducs
 
La nuit je mensJe prends des trains à travers la plaineLa nuit je mensEffrontémentJ'ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questionsOù subsiste encore ton échoOù subsiste encore ton écho
 
On m'a vu dans le VercorsSauter à l'élastiqueVoleur d'amphoresAu fond des criquesJ'ai fait la cour à des murènesJ'ai fait l'amour j'ai fait le mortT'étais pas née
 
La nuit je mensJe prends des trains à travers la plaineLa nuit je mensJe m'en lave les mainsJ'ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questionsOù subsiste encore ton échoOù subsiste encore ton écho
 
La nuit je mensJe prends des trains à travers la plaineLa nuit je mensJe m'en lave les mainsJ'ai dans les bottes des montagnes de questionsOù subsiste encore ton écho

 

Calogero - 1987

 
Tu te souviens
Les couleurs sur les baskets
Les crayons dans les cassettes
Je rembobine
Tu te souviens
Tous ces rêves plein nos disquettes
À Paris c'était les States
1987

Il y a certains jours où je reprends mon skate
Et je vais faire un tour en 1987
Il y a certains jours dans lesquels je me jette
Et je suis de retour en 1987
Tu sais de tous ces jours y a rien que je regrette
Mais parfois je retourne en 1987, en 87

Tu te souviens
Les survêt et les houppettes
Sabrina et 7 sur 7
Dans la cuisine c'était rien

Que 12 mois sur la planète
L'URSS, INXS
On chantait I want your sex

Il y a certains jours où je reprends mon skate
Et je vais faire un tour en 1987
Il y a certains jours dans lesquels je me jette
Et je suis de retour en 1987
Tu sais de tous ces jours y a rien que je regrette
Mais parfois je retourne en 1987, en 87

Tu verras bien qu'un jour une chanson dans la tête
Tu auras à ton tour ton 1987
Tu verras bien qu'un jour une chanson dans la tête
Tu auras à ton tour ton 1987
C'est tout ce que je te souhaite
Tu auras à ton tour ton 1987
C'est tout ce que je te souhaite
Tu auras à ton tour ton 1987
C'est tout ce que je te souhaite
Tu auras à ton tour ton 1987
Tu te souviens
J'aime les paroles 

 

Alain Souchon - Les Regrets

 
Rêvant des révolutions
Sur le bord de la rivière
Il y avait des illusions
Dans ma main que tu laissais
Sous ton pull-over

De mal penser, la faiblesse
De n'avoir pas fait d'études
Les chansons de ma jeunesse
Et de Robert Zimmermann, l'altitude

Oh, des regrets, des regrets, des regrets
Des regrets
Oh, des regrets, des regrets, des regrets
Des regrets

J'ai perdu mon allégresse
Sur des bateaux de conquêtes
J'ai perdu, par leur vitesse
Quelque chose que, dans mon cœur
Je regrette

Oh, des regrets, des regrets, des regrets
Des regrets
Oh, des regrets, des regrets, des regrets
Des regrets

2 CV Citroën
Où sont les gens, dedans
De mon baptême
La timbale d'argent?

Je voudrais que tout revienne
Alors que tout est passé
Et je chante à perdre haleine
Que je n'ai que des regrets
Des regrets

Oh, des regrets, des regrets, des regrets
Des regrets
Oh, des regrets, des regrets, des regrets
Des regrets 

 

Peter Gabriel ft. Youssou N'Dour - In Your Eyes (❤️)

 
Love, I get so lost sometimes
Days pass, and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away, I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go, I come back to the place you are

All my instincts, they return
The grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
In your eyes, to a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes, oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted, and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired, working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

In your eyes your eyes, your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir

In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

U2 - Every Breaking Wave

 
Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one there'll be one more
Every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you're really there for
Summer I was fearless
Now, I speak into an answer phone
Like every falling leaf on the breeze
Winter wouldn't leave it alone, alone

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave?

Every sailor knows that the sea
Is a friend made enemy
Every shipwrecked soul knows what it is
To live without intimacy
I thought I heard the captain's voice
It's hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave?

The sea knows where are the rocks
And drowning is no sin
You know where my heart is
The same place that yours has been
We know that we fear to win
And so we end before we begin
Before we begin

If you go
If you go your way and I go mine
Are we so
Are we so helpless against the tide?
Baby, every dog on the street
Knows that we're in love with defeat
Are we ready to be swept off our feet
And stop chasing
Every breaking wave? 

 

Stephan Eicher - Hemmige

 
S'git Lüt die würde alletwäge nie
Es Lied vorsinge so win ig jitz hie
Eis singen um kei Prys nei bhüetis nei
Wil si Hemmige hei

Si wäre vilicht gärn im Grund gno fräch
Und dänke das syg ires grosse Päch
Und s'laschtet uf ne win e schwäre Stei
Dass si Hemmige hei

I weiss das macht eim heiss verschlat eim d'Stimm
Doch dünkts eim mängisch o s'syg nüt so schlimm
S'isch glych es Glück o we mirs gar nid wei
Dass mir Hemmige hei

Was unterscheidet d'Mönsche vom Schimpans
S'isch nid di glatti Huut dr fählend Schwanz
Nid dass mir schlächter d'Böim ufchöme nei
Dass mir Hemmige hei

Me stellt sech d'Manne vor wenns anders wär
Und s'chäm es hübsches Meiteli derhär
Jetz luege mir doch höchschtens chly uf d'Bei
Wil mir Hemmige hei

Und wenn me gseht was hüt der Mönschheit droht
So gseht me würklech schwarz nid nume rot
Und was me no cha hoffe isch alei
Dass si Hemmige hei

Kim Wilde - You Came (Up!)

 
Someone I know is staring at me
And when I look into her eyes
I see a girl that I used to be
I hardly recognise
Cos in the space of a year
I've watched the old me disappear
All of the things I once held precious
Just don't mean anything anymore
Cos suddenly

You came, and changed the way I feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

I've never felt good with permanent things
Now I don't want anything to change
You can't imagine the joy you bring
My life won't be the same
And I'll be there when you call
I'll pick you up if you should fall
Cos I have never felt such inspiration
Nobody else ever gave me more because

You came, and changed the way I feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place

I watch you sleep in the still of the night
You look so pretty when you dream
So many people just go through life
Holding back, they don't say what they mean
But it's easy for me
Since you came
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place
You came, and changed the way I feel
No one could love you more
Because you came and turned my life around
No one could take your place 


Frida - I Know There's Something Going On

 
I can see that it won't be long
You grow cold when you keep holding on
You know you've changed and your words, they lie
That's something you can't deny

I call, you're not at home
You're home, but you're not alone
If you wanna leave then why don't you say it
Your love has gone anyway

I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on

I know a good thing must come to an end
But it's hard to take losing a friend
I know what you think and what's in your mind
So darling, look, why pretend

I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on

I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on
There's something going on 

 

Killing Joke - A Southern Sky (Up!)

 
Peace at the break of dawn, mist on the shore
Time is healing everything, time is standing still
A voice, that is singing in my head
With the breeze, the waves, the sea
As we start to move as one

Down from the hills, into the forest
Walking on sand, into the water
I've been dreaming - islands on my mind

Down from the hills, into the forest
Walking on sand, into the water
I've been dreaming -under a southern sky

Bright are the scented flowers, many shades of green
Water from the purest spring - man is finding wealth
Down by the clearing in glades of fern and palm
Invocations rising from servants of the Star
And walk with the breeze, the waves, the earth
As we move in unison

All the seeds blowing further to the south
Continuity when all's said and done.
All the seeds blowing further to the south
Continuity when all's said and done. 


Within Temptation - Stand My Ground (Up!)

 
I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?

Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape
Now once it sets its eyes on you
But I won't run,
Have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

It's all around
Getting stronger, coming closer
Into my world

I can feel
That it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run,
There's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground 


Ivan Torrent ft. Lara Ausensi - Beyond Love

 



Nightly - Twenty Something

 
Talk you down
Wasted on the couch
Say what you're feeling now
Don't hold back
Spell it out
Spare me your dirty mouth
Whatever is keeping you here now
Don't let it fade

Caught in a web of your memories
Like the way we would talk, we were 17
But I'm losing the feeling that's keeping me
Here now, here now

So don't freak out, we're only twenty something
All I know is that with you there's something
So different, and I will never slow down
And I will never slow down
Lay right here and we can waste away
Taste the corners of your pretty face
All I know is that with you there's something
And I will never slow down

What's there to cry about
Such a shame to see a face like yours
Fallin' to pieces on the bathroom floor
We can stay up all night
Till you're sure
Oh it's alright

And if you decided
That you don't wanna stay
I won't try and stop you
From moving to LA
But know that I still hate it
Every time you say
"Will you forget about me?"

So don't freak out, we're only twenty something
All I know is that with you there's something
So different, and I will never slow down
And I will never slow down
Lay right here and we can waste away
Taste the corners of your pretty face
All I know is that with you there's something
And I will never slow down

Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something
Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something
Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something
Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something

Lord Huron - Looking Back

 
With a little bit of money, I'll get gone, and I won't be found
With a little bit of luck, I'll find the place where I can stay forever
If I get a little bit of money, I'll get gone, and I won't be found
Don't want nothing but a lonesome, quiet place where I can think

Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was
Something changed the day you left, and I'll never know just what
I'll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am
Something tells me you and I will never meet again

Had a few good years out on my own, but it didn't last long
Had a couple, good friends, we used to pass the lonely days together
Made a little bit of money, and I got stoned, and I let it all go
All I want is a noisy, crowded place where I can drink

Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was
Something changed the day you left, and I'll never know just what
I'll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am
Something tells me you and I will never meet again

I'm gonna see if I can live outside the lines of my body and mind
I'm gonna see if I can find the time to sit and wonder why forever
If I need a little money, I'll sell my soul, though it isn't worth much
Maybe I can pay my cosmic debt before I turn to dust

Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was
Something changed the day you left, and I'll never know just what
I'll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am
Something tells me you and I will never meet again 

 

Kaleo - Run No More

 
Oh, one day
One day, we will rise
Oh, enough to find
Little hope left alive

Just one day, baby
Just one day at a time
Say you're blind
If you can't see the light

Push me down, push me out
Pushed around all my life
All my life
Been afraid of the dark

'Cause when I turn to you, Lord
Turn me down every time
Say you're blind
And you can't see the light

Oh, stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more

When I rise
When I rise from the dark
Whoa, your eyes
They won't judge me no more

And if you turn to me, Lord
I will not turn you down
Whoa, child, we've been running all our life
All our lives

Stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more

Is it down to you and me?
Is it only us that see?
Someone here's got to change this world
Start to feel that we never will

Oh, is it only you and I?
Has everyone else gone blind?
Someone here's got to change this world
If you never dream, then you never will

Oh, one day
Yes, one day
Oh, one day, hey, hey
Oh, one day

Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)

Oh, one day (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
One day (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)

One day, baby, baby (One day, baby)
Don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more
