Days Like This

When it's not always raining there'll be days like this
When there's no one complaining there'll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me there'll be days like this
When you don't need to worry there'll be days like this
When no one's in a hurry there'll be days like this
When you don't get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
Oh my mama told me there'll be days like this
When you don't need an answer there'll be days like this
When you don't meet a chancer there'll be days like this
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
Then I must remember there'll be days like this
When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember there'll be days like this
When no one steps on my dreams there'll be days like this
When people understand what I mean there'll be days like this
When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well my mama told me there'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this
Oh my mama told me
There'll be days like this

I Wouldn't Be
03:59

I wouldn't be who I am, without you
I wouldn't sing the way I sing, without you
You fill my eyes up with colour
And you'll always be my mother
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be the son that I am
Without a father who showed me I can
Face all the bullies at school
You taught me how to keep my cool
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be the brother I am
Without a sister who understands
My ambitions and dreams
We always were on the same team
I wouldn't be who I am
Without the people
We don't see no more
And all the imperfections on my skin
The family tree, with its branches around me
Oh, I just wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be the human I am
Without the friends that let me fly and help me land
Our foundations go deep
I'll always have a place to sleep
I wouldn't be who I am

Morning light streams softly through my window
Through the night I've prayed for peace within
Hear the planet cry it's gentle heart still beating
Holding tight to feel the power of love
From deep within I feel my spirit stronger
Unknown until it is our only choice
No greater power for change
Than knowing what we care for
We begin to feel the power of love
We band together with common purpose
Bring healing to a wounded world
We stand together, changed forever
Rising from the ashes of who we used to be
To feel the power of love
Through my day I treasure sights of wonder
Each one displays compassion to the fore
No single kindly act, however small is wasted
And so we pray to feel the power of love
We band together with common purpose
Bring healing to a wounded world
We stand together, changed forever
Rising from the ashes of who we used to be
To feel the power of love
To feel the power of love

Don't You Wanna know
03:36
|

Found myself outside your door
And it hit me: What am I here for?
Thought I'd caught your laughter there
Oh like something trapped under a star
But I don't come here anymore
And I noticed I don't miss you at all
What if we met face to face?
Yet you're miles away in your own place
What if I cried when you left?
Said some things just better left unsaid?
What if I wonder, if only matter of fact
What if I wonder, did you ever look back?
Don't you wanna know how I am?
Don't you wanna know 'bout those plans?
Cause I remember one time
When it wasn't always bad
So you can be free
You can be what you wanted to be
But don't you know that sometimes
Life gets cold when you do it on your own
And it was stupid of me
To think that you could fill the pieces I lack
You were too blind to see
Past your passion, to ever look back
There's a wheel keeps turning
Turns to burn you up
Where you end up see; I still wish you luck
What if I cried when you left?
Said some things just better left unsaid?
What if I wonder, if only matter of fact
What if I wonder, did you ever look back?
Don't you wanna know how I am?
Don't you wanna know 'bout those plans?
Cause I remember one time
When it wasn't always bad
So you can be free
You can be what you wanted to be
But don't you know that sometimes
Life gets cold
All of these words unsaid
All the best plans are never laid
What if I wonder, late at night?
What if I wonder, was I right?
Don't you wanna know how I am?
Don't you wanna know 'bout those plans?
Cause I remember one time
When it wasn't always bad
So you can be free
You can be what you wanted to be
But don't you know that sometimes
Life gets cold when you do it on your own

Galileo
03:41

Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Galileo fell in love as a Galilean boy
And he wondered what in heaven, who invented such a joy
But the question got the better of his scientific mind
And to his blind and dying gaze
He looked up high and often sighed
And sometimes cried
Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you and made them mine?
Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then
But just remember the alternatives for I remember when
I was lonely and unhappy
And my lips were cold as ice
But you kissed me and good heavens
Now I'm here in paradise
So if ever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eyes
I won't be blind and I won't cry
I'll look up high and gladly sigh
And thank the guy
Who puts the rainbow in the sky?
Who lights the stars at night?
Who dreamt up someone so divine?
Someone like you and made them mine?
And made them mine?
Galileo, Galileo, Galileo fell in love

Fire
03:59

I sleep in my clothes, in case he arrives when I'm dreaming
He's got nothing to hide, his life ain't got no hidden meaning
And I'll hold you tight, and I'll wake you if I hear him callin'
Cause I sleep in my clothes as soon as the snow stops fallin'
Is it gonna rain, is it gonna snow?
How're we gonna now if he gets here?
Is it gonna rain, hurricane?
How're we gonna know if he's alive?
Is it gonna snow, gonna rain?
Who we gonna blame for the sunshine?
Will he get my mail through the hail,
Does he even know that we're alive?
I sleep in my clothes, in case there's a fire when I'm dreamin'
I got nothing to hide, my life ain't got no hidden meaning
And I'll hold you close, and I'll wake you if smoke stops you breathin'
Cause I sleep in my clothes, in case there's a fire when I'm dreamin'
Is it gonna rain, is it gonna snow?
How're we gonna now if he gets here?
Is it gonna rain, hurricane?
How're we gonna know if he's alive?
Is it gonna snow, gonna rain?
Who we gonna blame for the sunshine?
Will he get my mail through the hail,
Does he even know that I'm alive?
He can tell that I'm lying awake even though I ain't moving
And the beat of your heart in my ear keeps love alive
And to tell you the truth, all I'm thinking about is fire
Is it gonna rain, is it gonna snow?
How're we gonna now if he gets here?
Is it gonna rain, hurricane?
How're we gonna know if he's alive?
Is it gonna snow, gonna rain?
Who we gonna blame for the sunshine?
Will he get my mail through the hail,
Does he even know that I'm alive?
He can tell that I'm lying awake even though I ain't moving
And the beat of your heart in my ear keeps love alive
And to tell you the truth, all I'm thinking about is fire
Is it gonna rain, is it gonna snow?
How're we gonna now if he gets here?
Is it gonna rain, hurricane?
Is it gonna snow, gonna rain?

Carrickfergus
03:23

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman
To ferry me over, my love and I
I wish I was in the land of Eire
Where the mountains reach the sea
Where flowers blossom as I do remember
Where my true love came to me
But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman
To ferry me over, my love and I
Oh I wish I was in Carrickfergus
To be together, my love and I

To You I Belong
02:15
|

Rain fell down
You were there
I cried for you when I
hurt my hand
Storm a-rushing in
Wind was howling
I called for you, you were there
Whenever dark turns to night
And all the dreams sing their song
And in the daylight forever
To you I belong
Beside the sea
When the waves broke
I drew a heart for you in the sand
In fields where streams
Turn to rivers
I ran to you, you were there
Whenever dark turns to night
And all the dreams sing their song
And in the daylight forever
To you I belong
To you I belong
To you I belong

No I won't turn my back on you
When the call of a brother
In need is heard
When there's a prayer to be answered
And all you feel is hurt
I will lend you a shoulder
I will lend a helping hand
No I won't turn my back on you
When your world has been shattered
In pieces on the ground
When your spirit has been broken
And a friend just can't be found
I will offer you comfort
I will answer your call
No I won't turn my back on you
No I won't turn my back
No I won't turn my back on you
Though your days may seem darker
And the clouds are hanging low
If we face it together
Then our spirit's light will grow
And it will shine from within
And light our way
No I won't turn my back on you
When you're worried
There's one thing that you should know
I'll never leave you
To face this world alone
Oh no I won't turn my back
No I won't turn my back on you
No I won't turn my back
No I won't turn my back on you
No I won't turn my back
No I won't turn my back on you
