Gloria

    I try to sing this song.
    I try to stand up.
    But I can't find my feet.
    I try, I try to speak up.
    But only in you I'm complete.
    
    Gloria, in Te Domine
    Gloria, exultate
    
    Oh lord, loosen my lips?
    I try to sing this song.
    I try to get in,
    But I can't find the door.
    The door is open.
    You're standing there,
    Let me in.
    
    Gloria, Gloria
    
    Oh Lord, if I have anything, anything at all,
    I'll give it to you.
    
    Gloria, Gloria

I Fall Down

    You know he says I'm getting nowhere.
    I wrote this letter hoping to get someplace soon.
    I want to get up when I wake up.
    When I get up,
    I fall down
    
    You let him wake up.
    You let him tell the story.
    You wrote the letter,
    Said you were gonna get there someday.
    Gonna walk in the sun, and the wind, and the rain.
    Never walk back again.
    Now you fall down.
    You fall down.
    
    You let him say something.
    You let him say I'm sorry.
    You're gonna get better.
    You better not leave me here anyway.
    I want to get up when you wake up.
    When I get up,
    I fall down.
    I'm falling down.
    
    I've run myself.
    I fall down when you fall down.

I Threw A Brick Through A Window

    I was talking, I was talking to myself, somebody else.
    Talk, talk, talking.
    I couldn't hear a word,
    A word you said.
    He was my brother.
    I said there was no other,
    Way out of here.
    Be my brother.
    I got to get out.
    
    I was walking, I was walking into walls.
    I'm back again, just keep walking.
    I walk into a window to see myself, and my reflection.
    When I thought about it,
    My direction,
    Going nowhere, going nowhere.
    
    No one, no one is blinder.
    Who will, who will not see?
    No one, no one is blinder than me.
    
    I was talking, I was talking in my sleep.
    I can stop talking.
    I'm talking to you.
    It's up to you.
    Be my brother.
    There is another way out of here, 
    In my brother.
    Gonna get out, gonna get out of here.

Rejoice

    He's falling, he's falling,
    And outside the buildings are tumbling down,
    And inside all over the ground.
    Do it again.
    But what am I to do?
    What in the world am I to say?
    There's nothing for us to do.
    He says you'll change the world someday.
    I rejoice.
    
    He's building, I'll follow.
    Bear with him.
    I'm listing to what he's saying.
    Everyone's crazy, but I'm too lazy.
    Why? what must I do?
    
    
    What am I supposed to say?
    I'll never change the world.
    But I can change the world in you.
    
    Rejoice, rejoice.
    
    What am I to do?
    Tell me what I am supposed to say.
    I can't change the world.
    But I can change the world in me.
    Rejoice
    
    I don't know
    I don't know what to change.
    Rejoice
    Rejoice

Fire

    Falling, falling
    The sun is burning black.
    Falling, falling
    It's beating on my back,
    With the fire.
    Falling, falling
    And the moon is running red.
    It's pulling me instead, with the fire.
    Fire.
    
    but there's a fire inside.
    I'm falling over.
    There's a fire in me.
    And I call out.
    And I feel some fire.
    I'm calling out.
    The stars are falling down.
    They knock me to the ground.
    With the fire, fire.
    
    And there's a fire inside.
    When I'm falling over,
    There's a fire in me.
    When I call out,
    There's a fire inside.
    When I'm falling over,
    I feel the fire.
    I'm burning fire, falling.

Tomorrow

    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    
    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    Can I sleep tonight?
    Outside, somebody's outside.
    Somebody's lookin at the door.
    There's a black car parked at the side of the road.
    So go to the door.
    Let him out.
    Go in outside, mother.
    Go in outside.
    
    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    
    Who broke the window?
    Who broke down the door?
    Who told the cutter?
    And who was he for?
    Who heals the bounds?
    Who heals the stars?
    Open the door.
    
    Won't be back tomorrow?
    Won't be back tomorrow?
    Won't you come back tomorrow?
    Can I sleep tonight?
    
    Cause I want you, I want you.
    I really want you.
    
    I want you to be back tomorrow.
    I want you to be back tomorrow.
    Will you be back tomorrow?
    
    Open up the way to love, oh God.
    Come back, heal me.
    Jesus, come back.
    I'm gonna be there tomorrow.

October

    October.
    And the trees are stripped bare
    Of all they wear.
    What do I care?
    October.
    And Kingdoms rise,
    And Kingdoms fall,
    But you go on, and on.

With A Shout

    Where do we go?
    Where do we go from here?
    Where to go?
    To the side of a hill.
    Blood was spilt, we were still.
    And staring at each other.
    We were doing nothing.
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
    Shout, Shout.
    With a shout, shout it out.
    
    I want to go
    To the side,
    To the one who made me sing,
    To the side of the hill.
    We were still, we were filled,
    With a love.
    We want to be loved.
    
    Jerusalem, Jerusalem.
    Shout, shout.
    With a shout.

Stranger In A Strange Land

    Stranger, stranger in a stange land.
    He looked at me as one who should run.
    We asked him to smile for a photograph.
    Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh.
    
    So did I seek for a cigarette.
    His smiling face I can't forget.
    It looked like it crossed the street.
    He said, I'll wait here.
    I wish you were here.
    I wish you were here.
    
    Stranger, stranger in a strange land.
    He look at me like I was the one who should run.
    I watched as he watched us get back on the bus.
    I watched there it was.
    The way it was there.
    He was with us.
    And I really don't mind sleeping on the floor.
    I can't sleep after what I saw.
    I wrote this letter to tell you,
    The way I feel.
    I wish you were here.
    To see what I could see, and hear.
    I wish you were here.

Scarlet

    Rejoice, rejoice.
    Rejoice, rejoice.

Is That All?

    Singing this song makes me angry.
    I'm not angry with you.
    Is that all?
    Is that all?
    
    Sing me a song that makes me happy.
    I'm happy with you.
    Singing this song makes me pale.
    Is that all?
    Is that all?
