I raise my hand and touch the wheel of change
taking time to check the dial

Midday (Avoid City After Dark)

I like to take a walk out in the Midday
Checking life out in the park
I like to take a walk out in the Midday
But avoid city after dark

O I love to see the children playing in the rain
Splashing boots and kicking mud
I love to see the kids playing in the rain
But avoid city after dark

I love to feel the ocean blowing in my face
Wave as the old boats depart
I love to feel the wind blowing in my face
But avoid city after dark


Heaven/Where True Love Goes

The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
Oh, will you? Will you? Will you?

I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes

And if you walk alone and if you lose your way
Don't forget the One Who gave you this today
Follow True Love, follow True Love
Follow True Love, follow True Love

Oh, will you? Will you? Will you?

I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes

And if a storm should come
And if you face a wave
That may be the chance for you to be saved
And if you make it through the trouble and the pain
That may be the time for you to know His name

The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you

The moment you said "I will,"
I knew that this love was real,
And that my fate was sealed – oh!
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment I looked into your eyes,
I knew that they told no lies;
There would be no goodbyes –
Ah, 'cause
Heaven must've programmed you

I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes


Maybe There’s a World

I have dreamt of a place and time, where nobody gets annoyed
But I must admit I'm not there yet but something's keeping me going

Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Open up a world and let me in
Then there'll be a new life to begin

I have dreamt of an open world, borderless and wide
Where the people move from place to place and nobody's taking sides

Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Open up a world and let me in
Then there'll be a new life to begin

I've been waiting for that moment to arise
All at once the palace of peace will fill my eyes - how nice!

Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Maybe there's a world that I'm still to find
Open up a world and let me in
Then there'll be a new life to begin

I've been waiting for that moment to arrive
All at once the wrongs of the world, will be put right - how nice!


One Day at a Time

One day at a time, we can learn to leave the past behind
One day at a time, we can look the future in the eye
One day at a time, we can learn to live

The gates of the Garden are open, wide; and the trusting
Seventy thousand will enter of them, without reckoning

One day at a time, we can learn to leave our fears behind
One day at a time, we can stare our hopes in the eye
One day at a time, we can learn to live

And if you meet the evening, don't wait for the Sun to rise

One day at a time, we can leave old treasures behind
One day at a time, we can watch the clocks unwind

One day at a time, a child is born into this world, eyes blind
One day he will find his sight, and glimpse another kind of Light
To live by - one day

One day at a time, we can put machines behind
One day at a time, we can learn how birds survive
One day at a time, we can learn to fly


When Butterflies Leave

When butterflies leave their silk palaces
And the scent of the garden blows
Towards Heaven's way,
Like the toils of man,
Those who worked for tomorrow
Will not miss the dreams of yesterday


In the End

You can't bargain with the truth
'Cause whether you're right or you're wrong
We're gonna know what you've done
We're gonna see where you belong - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth
‘Cause whether you’re black or you're white
We're gonna know who's right
We're gonna see you in the light - in the end

O and every little thing you do
You'd better know it's coming back to you

You can't bargain with the truth
'Cause one day you're gonna die
And good's going high,
And evil's going down - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth
‘Cause whether you're old or you’re young
We're gonna see what you've done
There'll be nowhere else to run - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth
Whether you're rich or you're poor
You're gonna meet at the same door
You're gonna know the real score - in the end

And if you want to help your fellow man
You better start with what’s in your hand

You can't bargain with the truth
'Cause whether you're right or you're wrong
We're gonna know what you've done
We're gonna see where you belong - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth
'Cause if the world you chose
No further than your nose
Will be where the doors will close - in the end

You can't bargain with the truth
'Cause for those who were deceived
There'll be no reprieve
There'll be no time to believe - in the end

O and every little thing you do
You better know it's coming back to you

You can't bargain with the truth
'Cause one day you're gonna die
And good's going high,
And evil's going down - in the end


Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood (Benjamin, Caldwell, Marcus)

People, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
When things go wrong, I seem a little sad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

You know sometimes, I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Sometimes, seems that all I have is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get more than my share
But that's one thing I never mean to do
I don't mean it

People, don't you know I'm only human
Don't you know I have thoughts like anyone
But sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some little thing, some foolish thing that I have done
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood
I'm just someone whose intentions are good
Don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be misunderstood


I Think I See the Light

I used to trust nobody, trusting even less their words
Until I found somebody, there was no one I preferred
My heart was made of stone; my eyes saw only misty grey
Until you came into my life, I saw everyone that way
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a blind man all my life

I think I see the light

I think I see the light
I think I see the light

I used to walk alone; every step seemed the same
This world was not my home, so there was nothing much to gain
Look up and see the clouds, look down and see the cold floor
Until you came into my life, I saw nothing, nothing more
Until I found the one I needed at my side,
I think I would have been a blind man all my life

I think I see the light
I think I see the light
I think I see the light
I think I see the light
I think I see the light

So shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine

I think I see the light
Coming to me, coming through me
Giving me a second sight

So shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine

(Keep on shinin’)

I think I see the light
I think I see the light
I think I see the light
I think I see the light


Whispers from a Spiritual Garden

The eternal Source of Love has implanted in every part of existence,
The desire for another;
Though night and day outwardly appear as enemies,
Yet both serve one purpose -
Each seeking the other


The Beloved

His wisdom flowed from Heaven's Book
Just like threaded pearls, just like threaded pearls
He left his self to flee to God, and God sent him back to us

He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
He was born to be the Beloved; he was born to guide

He prayed all his nights alone, in stars’ and Angels’ sight
And in the day, he lit the way, with blazing words so bright

He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
He was born to be the Beloved; he was born to be kind

He taught the people to worship
Bowing to One God, bowing to One God
His mercy stretched from East to West, to every man, woman and child

He was born to be the Beloved – a will of the Divine
He was born to be the Beloved – nature, sublime

He opened up the doors of love, for every heart parched with thirst
He was a mercy to the worlds and unto the universe

He was born to be the Beloved; a will of the Divine
He was born to be the Beloved; he was born to guide


Greenfields, Golden Sands

Green Fields and Golden Sands
Are all I need, are all I want

Let the wind blow hard - I don't mind

A small house and an olive tree,
To keep and feed my family

Let the wind blow hard - I don't mind

One day we'll all realize, I'm not the only one
Just raise your eyes up and you'll be gone,

To those Green Fields and Golden Sands
That's all I need; that's all I want
That's all I really need
Let the wind blow hard - I don't mind

One day we'll all realize, I'm not the only one
Just raise your eyes up and you'll be gone,

To those Green Fields and Golden Sands
That’s all I need; that’s all I want
That’s all I need; that's all I really want


There Is Peace (bonus track)

There is peace
You can taste it if you try
You can embrace it if you try

There is love
You can live it if you try
You can give it if you try

People walk this earth
People rush around
But there is no rest ‘til their hearts bow down

There is a Dream
You can reach it if you try
You can make it if you try

There is a God
You can know Him if you try
You can approach Him if you try

There are angels
They are with you day and night
You can know them if you try

I have searched this world
I have seen the signs
But I will not rest till I pass the line

There is heaven
You can know it if you try
You can go there if you try
And if God wills, it will be
