1. OVERTURE/WHIRLWIND

Catch your breath as you watch your step
Head spinning round as you hit the ground
Present tense time is of essence
Hold the second hand going round the dial

And we got caught in the whirlwind
Torn by the storms of our lives
We counted - counted on something
That never could hold up our lives

By chance to see an inner light
Your wildest dreams bring a certain fright
Doubt arising from the shock
It's your head that's back on the block

Then we got caught in the whirlwind
Torn by the storms of our lives
And just when we though we had something
It turned into dust in our eyes

Out on the sea on a winter's day
Looking north over skies are grey
There I can see as the winds blow high
Do the storms still rage or maybe it's my eyes


2. THE WIND BLEW THEM ALL AWAY

The wind is blowing softer now
My eyes are still a blur
With remnants all around me
I survey the ones that were
They were strong and tall
They stood so proud
And when they walked the streets
The people bowed
But when the climate changed
They tried their best to stay
But the wind blew them all away

Picture in your mind
A silent statue in the sand
A dust cloud comes
And leaves no hiding place
For beast or man

And in the master's house
They're partyin' down
But there's no resting place
In this prodigal town
But there are some we know
Thought they'd go all the way
But the wind blew them all away

In the master's house
There's an easy chair
Some would like to think
It's easy there, but if you look for long
So many have gone astray
Cause the wind blew them all away

While they were looking the other way
The wind came and blew them all away
They thought they could stand in the stormy day
But the wind came and blew them all away
The wind came and blew them all away
They thought they could stand in the stormy day
But they wind came and blew them all away


3. ON THE PROWL

Blow them down - stir up this mess
Make them think their leaders
Have become possessed
Rock the house - send pestilence
Send the whirlwind down 'til no one's on the fence

Listening to the wind - a bark and a howl
Changing voices from a moan to a growl
You best stay in here because the wolf's on the prowl

Take the take - a trial and test
Take all that they love until there's nothing left
Break the banks - fill them with fear
Will they turn to me or turn to something here?

But listen through the wind you'll hear him now
Working wonders though we know not how
Before we're raised up he's got to break us down


4. A MAN CAN FEEL

So you think you're in control?
Yet another gloomy day unfolded
Pushing panic from your door
One boss - one lie - one world order

Old classics are long overdue
New frontiers - it's a scary prospect
Hollow icons - revolving doors
Pale riders of no tomorrow... of no tomorrow

A man can feel he's left out on his own
Like a stranger in his home
Now - what makes it all come apart?
A man can sense the speed of falling down
No feet on solid ground
Still time for a change of heart...

The dogs of labor leaning on their spades
That Pokerface won't stand a fall from grace
Now did you find the satisfaction needed?
Or did it leave you with an empty feeling?

Old classics are long overdue
New frontiers - it's a scary prospect
Hollow icons - revolving doors
Pale riders of no tomorrow... of no tomorrow!!!

A man can feel he's left out on his own
Like a stranger in his home
Now - what makes it all come apart?
A man can sense the speed of falling down
No feet on solid ground
Still time for a change of heart...


5. OUT OF THE NIGHT

Coming out of the night - stepping out
Where the winds are warmer
It's a sudden alright - coming out of the night

Coming out of the night - stepping out
From the darkest corner
With new eyes I can see - I can do what I please

Catch your breath as you watch your step
Head spinning round as you hit the ground
Present tense time is of essence
Hold the second hand going round the dial

Coming out of the night - stepping out
Where the winds are warmer
It's a sudden alright - coming out of the night

I was once at the forefront
Once I was happy in life
But mostly I don't think about it now
I smile like I'm doing alright

Coming out of the night - stepping out
Where the winds are warmer
It's a sudden alright - coming out of the night

Coming out of the night - stepping out
From the darkest corner
With new eyes I can see - I can do what I please

By chance to meet an inner light
Your wildest dreams bring a certain fright

Doubt arisin'
From the shock
Keep your head
And lead the flock

Then we were back
In the whirlwind
Torn by the storms
Of our lives
And just
When we thought
It was over
It came
Blowin' through
One more time


6. ROSE COLORED GLASSES

Long ago he saw the light of day
Then the wind it blew the man away
And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses
But I believe the man is going home

Long ago he set the ship aright
Then he sailed away into the night
And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses
But I believe the man is going home
And I know that we are more than dust and ashes
And one day we will know what we have known

But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)
But as the pages turn
One day we'll learn of everything
But now we see through glass...

When the ending came I said goodbye
I hope to meet him on the other side
And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses
That I believe we have the greatest hope
(I believe we have the greatest hope)
And I'll sing this as we're scattering the ashes
I believe the man has gone back home...
(I believe the man has gone back home)

But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)
But as the pages turn
One day we'll learn of everything
But now we see through glass...

This world is not our home
You can live like a rollin' stone
But you cannot escape with your life

We seek a city on fire
With the heart of a child's desire
We will cross that bridge
And enter into life....real life...

But on the dark side
There are times of suffering
But as the pages turn
One day we'll burn like lightning
In that city in the sky!


7. EVERMORE

Down from the mountain top - to the river
Your deep blue secret meets the sea bed
Down from the skies - now face your forgiver
Your deep blue soul is ripe and ready

A dream of perfection of a face
Dreams to travel through time and space
Pieces of heaven to bring back home
Traces of evidence that we're not alone... not alone... not alone...

Down from the mothership to the groundfloor
Travel these roads with a stranger's eyes
Land and water - you feel no borders
The same old people - same old cries

A dream of perfection of a face
Dreams to travel through time and space
Pieces of heaven to bring back home
Traces of evidence that we're not alone

And while we wait we wage our wars
And send our sons to evermore - evermore!

Is it really happening?
Is it really going to be?
Is it really happening?
Is it what our minds can see?
Is it really dangerous?
Is this what our God intended all along?


8. SET US FREE

Look at the people
Tossed in turmoil in the street
Satan like lightning falling down
The ungodly world
Is like a vicious troubled sea
Feels like our ship is sinking down

We have been blinded in our hearts
We want to say
And somewhere inside we know
It's not supposed to be
Come bring this ship
Out of the whirlwind and
Set us free, free, free, free...

Look at the person
Who is standing to your right
See how he's slowly going mad
Watch how he smiles
And acts like everything's alright
But if you close your eyes
You'll understand

We have been blinded in our hearts
We want to say
And somewhere inside we know
It's not supposed to be
Come bring this ship
Out of the whirlwind
Set us free, free, free, free!

(Set us free, set us free, free, free)


9. LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE

Roll up it's a storm chaser's life
With a burnin' yearnin'
For excitement every night
With the world in breakdown you run
Shout through the streets
Like an atomic gattling gun

You've got to lay down
You've got to lay down your life
You've got to come down to a place where
The low will get high

When it feels like mayhem may reign
When your mind is cold
And confusion swirls in shades of grey
When nothing's black - nothing's white
When you shiver in the darkness
Refracting from the light

You've got to lay down
You've got to lay down your life
Like rain in Spokane
You've got to fall through the sky

You've got to lay down
You've got to lay down your life
Like rain in Spokane
You've got to fall through the sky


10. PIECES OF HEAVEN

(Instrumental)


11. IS IT REALLY HAPPENNING

Is it really happening?
Is it really going to be?
Is it really happening?
Is it what our minds can see?
Is it really happening?
Is it really going to pass?
Is it really happening?
Is it really going to last?

Is it really happening?
Is it really going to be?
Is it really happening?
Is it what our minds can see?
Is it really happening?
Is it really going to pass?
Is it really happening?
Is it really going to last?

Is it really happening?
Is it really going to be?
Is it really happening?
Is it what our minds
Were meant to feast upon?


12. DANCING WITH ETERNAL GLORY

And as the summer turns its head
Cowering to the ground
At night the winds abate to the chase
Tomorrow to be found

A whisper of such tenderness
Peels through the skies of grey
The voice of one who holds the better way
Hey...

All we are, all we are, this is all we are
Just a page, just a life, reaching from afar
Take a breath, close your eyes
You'll see what you are
When you look inside your mind

Take a step, take a chance, take it where you will
Ask the light for a dance, moving standing still
Reaching out for his hand
Blowing daffodils like a million stars in the sky

And you're dancing with eternal glory
Taking a step to another land
You are dancing with eternal glory
This is much more than time and chance
When the giver of life is asking you to dance

What can we in ourselves really ever know
Just a blink in the life's swooning ebb and flow
But there's a way
There's a side you will come to know
When you go outside our time

And you're dancing with eternal glory
Taking a step to another land
And you're dancing with eternal glory
This is much more than time and chance
When the giver of life is asking you to dance

And you're dancing with eternal glory
Taking that step to another land
You are dancing with eternal glory
Don't be afraid come and take his hand

And you're dancing with eternal glory
Taking that step to another land
You are dancing with eternal glory
There's a reason you're here, this is not by chance
When the giver of life is asking you to DANCE!

A man can feel his spirit hit the sky
Like a window open wide
Like a sunlit valley floor
A man can sense when all the storms are gone
And he's back where he belongs
Walking through an open door

We're on trip in a foreign land
Reach for home, where the kingdom stands
There is the key he has given you, search it out
All who seek will find the truth!

After all the storm will pass you by

There is, in the heart of the whirlwind
One who has been for all time
And he was sent to deliver
And bring forth the river of life
And we are, here in the wilderness
Seeking some shelter inside
And now that it's done
Out of the whirlwind
Comes forth the true breadth of life

And from the whirlwind
Comes the breath of life...


DISQUE 2


1. SPINNING

Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning

Crazy
They say you've gone crazy
But still you amaze me
Day in, day out

It's your magic
And the way you embrace me
With stories and faces
All about

Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning

Changes
A time beyond changes
The promise of ages
Under the sun

Now watching
The balance of powers
Some mighty king
Will have to step down

This big blue ball
Is spinning round
Sun goes up and sun goes down
The slightest move is making waves
It turns me on on precious days

The big blue sky is all above
Deep inside the words of love
Clouds may bring some rain today
Love will find a way

Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning

Crazy
We've almost gone crazy
The light we are chasing
But can't be found

Now racing
Within or without you
The silence in seasons
The time passes by

This big blue ball
Is spinning round
Sun goes up and sun goes down
The slightest move is making waves
It turns me on on precious days

The big blue sky is all above
Deep inside the words of love
Clouds may bring some rain today
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning
Still spinning, so beautiful
Everyday, a new beginning


2. LENNY JOHNSON

Seems things turned out a little rough on good old Lenny Johnson
He didn't qualify to put his feet up on the moon
He never won a medal and he run no fancy mansion
He's been a mess and always outside looking in

The world is bigger than a cake, said good old Lenny Johnson
He never jumped up on a bus and went away
The girls all seem to look right through the poor old Lenny Johnson
He wasn't handsome and his mind just went astray

There's no promotion waiting for a man like Lenny Johnson
No invitation wedding in his mailbox anytime
His life is just a kill of time without a real sensation
One of those lonely people, silently in line

The world is bigger than a cake said good old Lenny Johnson
He never jumped up on a bus and went away
The girls all seem to look right through the poor old Lenny Johnson
He wasn't handsome and his mind just went astray

The world is bigger than a cake said good old Lenny Johnson
He never jumped up on a bus and went away
The world is bigger than my heart said good old Lenny Johnson
He never jumped up on a bus and went away
The girls all seem to look right through all that is Lenny Johnson
He wasn't handsome and his mind just went astray

Nothing's waiting for Johnson's Lenny
He's just a boy, like so many
Others, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers

Nothing's waiting for Johnson's Lenny
He's just a boy, like so many
Others, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers

After all, maybe Lenny went around the world
On a bus or a plane
Never said goodbye


3. FOR SUCH A TIME

Lost in a world of a thousand ways
All our dreams turn to yesterdays
And you want to know what you're doing here
Shine the light
Make it ever clear

For such a time as this God brought you here
For such a time as this he'll give you grace to stay
For such a time as this he brought you through the mist
You've lived your life up to this day
For such a time, for such a time as this

Caught like a rat trying hard to win
Even if you do you'll still be like them
And now you can turn there's a better way
Just be still, let him lead the way

For such a time as this God brought you here
For such a time as this he'll give you grace to stay
For such a time as this he brought you through the mist
You've lived your life up to this day
Oh for such a time, for such a time as this

And when the walls come tumbling down
You'll be alright, maybe tonight
You'll feel the clouds are turning white

For such a time as this God brought you here
For such a time as this he'll give you grace to stay
For such a time as this God brought you here
For such a time as this
This is your day today
For such a time as this
For such a time as this he'll give you grace to stay
For such a time as this
For such a time as this
You've lived your life up to this day
Oh for such a time, for such a time as this


4. LENDING A HAND

What am I supposed to say?
This circus rides for days and days
And after all it's somebody else who lends you a hand

I can't talk to you on the telephone
On nights like this I feel so alone
But once again it's somebody else who lends you a hand

And I don't know if I'm going to make it back
From time to time
But I know we're going to need some peace of mind

There's a kind of dread when you're at home
All the loneliness running through your bones
All I can wish is that I could be there to lend you a hand

It's a crazy life and it's hard to me
I need to get back so we can be
So that I am your somebody there who lends you a hand

And I don't know if I'm going to make it back
From time to time
But I know we really need the peace of mind

And I don't know if I'm going to make it back
From time to time
But I know we're going to need some peace of mind

No I don't know if I'm going to make it back
From time to time
But I know we really need to get some space for peace of mind

And I don't know if I'm going to make it back
From time to time
But I know we really need the peace of mind

What am I supposed to say?
This circus rides for days and days
And days and days...


5. THE RETURN OF THE GIANT HOGWEED

This is called "The Return of the Giant Hogweed"

Turn and run
Nothing can stop them
Around every river and canal their
Power is growing
Stamp them out
We must destroy them
They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odor
They are invincible
They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering

Long ago in the Russian hills
A Victorian explorer found the regal Hogweed by a marsh
He captured it and brought it home

Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge
The royal beast did not forget
So he came home to London
And made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew

Waste no time
They're approaching
Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter
Strike by night
They're defenseless
They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom
Still they're invincible
Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering

Fashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens
In which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land

Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge
The royal beast did not forget
Soon they escaped, spreading their seed
Preparing for an onslaught
Threatening the human race

Mighty Hogweed is avenged
Human bodies soon will know anger
Kill them with your Hogweed hairs


6. A SALTY DOG

"All hands on deck! We've run afloat!"
I heard the captain cry
"Explore the ship! Replace the cook!
Let no one leave alive!"
Across the straits, around the horn
How far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course
And no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold
Could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh sea-sick day
We made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue
No mortal place at all

We fired the guns and burned the mast
And rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes
Have passed since we made land
Salty Dog, the seaman's log
Your witness in my own hand


7. I NEED YOU

We used to laugh
We used to cry
We used to bow our heads and
Wonder why
But now you've gone
I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you

And every day
I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came
That I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

I need you
Like the flower needs the rain
You know, I need you
Guess I'll start it all again
You know, I need you
Like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you
I need you, I need you

You don't realize how much I need you
Love you all the time and never leave you
Please come on back to me
I'm lonely as can be
I need you

You said you had a thing or two to tell me
How was I to know you would upset me
I didn't realize
As I looked in your eyes

You told me
Oh yes you told me
You don't want my loving anymore
That's when it hurt me
That feeling like this I just can't go on anymore

Please remember how I feel about you
I can never really live without you
So come on back and see
Just what you mean to me
I need you
I need you
I need you


8. SOUL SACRIFICE

(Instrumental)
