"Has our consciense shown? Has the sweet breeze blown? Has all the kindness gone? Hope still lingers on... I drink my self of new found pity... Sitting alone in the same old city. And I don't know why.

Are we listening... To hymns of offering? Have we eyes to see... That love is gathering? All the words that I've been reading, Have now started the act of bleeding... Into one.

So I walk up on high... And I step to the edge... To see my world below. And I laugh to myself, As the tears roll down... Because it's the world I know... It's the world I know."

--Collective Soul "The World I Know"

"Sattelite comes and goes... and gives us all that we know. In the silence we still talk... by the light of a stereo waltz. Now will you rain down... in your cinematic love truck? I'm gonna' hold you like... nothing's gonna' stop us.

And here you come to take me away! Well, you're all that I needed. I don't breathe another lover...

Picture on a t.v. screen... and everything is more than it seems. The mighty backward fall... now I stare at the light on the wall. Now, I swear to this... I'll be like velvet. Second blonde child... like velvet.

And here you come to take me away... Well, you're all that I needed. I don't breathe another lover...

I'm an alien... you're an alien.. it's a beautiful rain... a beautiful rain.... beautiful..."

--Bush "Sixteen Stone"

"As I was looking back on my life... and all the things you've said to me. Well, I'm still looking for the answer... I'm still searching for the key. The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me. It just won't leave me alone! I still find it all a mystery... or is it just a dream? The road to nowhere... leads to me.

The road to nowhere is going to pass me by. You know I never want to say goodbye. I never want to live without you..."

--Ozzy "The Road To Nowhere"

"If I listen... long enough to you. I'd find a way... to believe it's all true. Knowing... that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried.

Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you...makes it hard to live without somebody else. Someone like you... makes it easy to give. Everything about myself..."

--Rod Stewart "Reason To Believe"

"Change will come. Change is here. Love fades out... then love appears. Now, my water's turned to wine. And these thoughts I have... Well, I now can claim as mine.

I'm coming home...

Change has been. Change will be. Time will tell, then time will ease. Now, my curtain has been drawn. And my heart can go.... to where my heart does belong.

I'm coming home..."

--Collective Soul "Reunion"

"Let's take a blast to the moon, baby! I sit around wishing you well... And how I'm craving you! Everytime that I'm near you, I always want to swallow you down... I'll be right here, if you need me...

In my life... I need you here. Don't ask why! And I'll never disappear... Why is it everyday that I feel the pain?

Let's take a trip to the stars, far away. Where were you when I was down? Staring into the dead... My pain is caused by my pleasure... My soul mate lives in your body! And I can't get you out of my head... It never goes away!

In my life... I need you here. Don't ask why! And I'll never disappear... Why is it everyday that I feel the pain?

(It always comes when I least expect it... when I'm looking for love and always seem to be regretting it...) Why is it everyday... that I feel the pain?"

--Godsmack "Moon Baby"

"Johnny was a schoolboy, when he heard his first Beatle's Song. "Love Me Do", I guess it from there it didn't take him long. Got himself a guitar. Used to play every night. Now he's in a rock and roll outfit, and everything's all right.

Don't you know, yeah, yeah.

Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one. Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing his song. He climbed so high... frightened he'd went so fast. But Johnny looked around and said, "Hey. I've made the big time at last!"

Don't you know, yeah, yeah.

Johnny died one night. He died in his bed. Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day. But, if you listen to the wind....you can still hear him play!

Don't you know? Yeah, yeah! Don't you know that you shooting star? Don't you know? Yeah, yeah. Don't you know that you are a shooting star? And all the world will love you just as long... as long as you are! A shooting star..."

--Bad Company "Shooting Star"

"So... so you think you can tell? Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Warm air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange... a walk-on part in the war, for a lean roll in a cage?

How... how I wish you were here! We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl... year after year. Running over the same old ground... and how we found, the same old fears. Wish you were here..."

--Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"

"She's a picture perfect child of innocence... searching out in childlike ways for knowledge. Now, she's questioning her mother. Yeah, she's questioning her father. And she's looking for the answer... to the problem that confronts her.

Do you know where the Sun goes when the water falls? Do you know where the rain goes when the water falls?

Though I think her subjects could run far and wide... she's centered on the topic of the sky. And she's questioning...

Do you know where the Sun goes when the water falls?

--Collective Soul "When The Water Falls"

"Love and hate... you get it wrong. Then you cut me right back down to size. I'll sleep the day, and let if fade. Who was there to take your place? (No one knows. Never will...) Mostly me and mostly you. Do you sigh? Do you do? When it all comes down?

Because, I don't want to come back down from this cloud! It's taken me all this time to find out what I need... No, I don't want to come back down from this cloud! It's taken all this... all this time!

There is no blame... only shame. When I'm bad you just complain. The more I come, the more I try... all it leaves is you paranoid. So am I... and so is the future. And so are you... to be a creature. Do you sigh? Do you do? When it all comes down?

Because, I don't want to come back down from this cloud! It's taken me all this time to find out what I need. I don't want to come back down from this cloud!! It's taken all this, all this time..."

--Bush "Comedown"

"Now that she's back in the atmosphere With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey. She acts like summer and walks like rain... Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey. Since the return from her stay on the moon, She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey.

Tell me did you sail across the sun? Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded? And that heaven is overrated... Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star? One without a permanent scar? And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there?

Now that she's back from that soul vacation, Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey. She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo, Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey. Now that she's back in the atmosphere, (I'm afraid that he might think of me as plain ol' Jane.) I've been told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land... Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day? And head back to the Milky Way... And tell me, did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken... Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you're wrong. Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance? five-hour phone conversation? The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me. Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day? And head back toward the Milky Way..."
