ALIVE
By
Bee Gees
***************
Maybe you talk too high, man.
Maybe I talk too slow.
But you’ve got to live a little bit faster
’cause you’ve got a little less time to go.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the wind and make it blow the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell .
That I’m alive and that’s all.
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about the people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive .
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive , alive.
I ain’t lost and I ain’t searching.
But then you know me very well.
And I can’t change the world and make it go the other way.
I’m a fool and I can tell.
That I’m alive and that’s all .
That I can get up just as fast as I fall.
And I can walk and run but I’ll never crawl.
And in the end it doesn’t matter at all.
I don’t know about those people that I read about in books.
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks.
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive.
I know I should be going somewhere I just can’t arrive.
There’s a reason for believing that I’ve never been alive, alive, alive.
I SURRENDER
***************
From the highest tower, I will call you home
It’s the same old story, love will find it’s own
You come to me conspiracy of the night
The heart that you want just happens to be mine
Thieves in the dark, you ought to be locked in chains
But you wind up on my side, and what will be will be
That you wear a disguise, the epitome of deceit
The face of a friend invisible on the street
If you are battling to be mine, I’m victorious in defeat
And I surrender, I surrender
Anybody want me, anyone know my name
Do it in a lifetime, you be dust and the soul survives
Evens up the score
From the highest tower, I will call you home
It’s the same old story, love will find it’s own
And I surrender, take me for all time
Love that lasts forever, I surrender
We are elite, prisoners of the night
We fight to the finish and savor the delights
It’s your body that got me beat and I’m crumbling at your feet
I surrender, I surrender
I will walk through fire, keep you safe and sound
In the final hour turn my life around
And I surrender, take me for all time
This is my life story, I’ve been lost and found
In the final hour, turn my life around
And I surrender, take me for all time
Love as warm as wine, and I surrender
Take me for all time, love that last forever
WE LOST THE ROAD
***************
We must have lost the road
Don’t you think it’s getting late
Maybe if it’s colder we can stop and wait
We must have lost the words
All the little things we said
And now the world is frozen only you in my mind
Oh ,we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
We must have lost the tune
Where did I step out of line
I’ll search for the melody that calls you mine
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
Oh, we lost the road
LET THERE BE LOVE
***************
Let there be love, so I can be loved by you
In Paradise Avenue
Let there be life, so everyone lives to love
Let it happen to me and you
I am a man, so take me for what I am
I’ll never have everything, but let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
I can be nothing, I can be something
I’ve got to give you my life
I’m tired of living without your giving
I’ve got to get you for my wife
Feeling’s getting stronger
Can’t hold on much longer
I never begged, but I’m begging now
Let there be love, so I can be loved by you
on Paradise Avenue, oh yo
Let there be life, so we can live to love
And let it be both of us
I am a man, so take me for what I am
I’ll never have everything, but let there be love
Let there be love, let there be love
CHILDREN OF THE WORLD
***************
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
We are searchers of the truth, every man’s a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it – there ain’t no easy way
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he’s born
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world – asking every question why
From arrival to survival – just to make it worth the waiting
We are faces in the night – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – there ain’t no easy way
In the back of your mind there is always a mark
There’s a wandering solo alone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it apart
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life – keeps us all anticipating
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he’s born
Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
THE EXTRA MILE
***************
I want to go where no one’s gone before
And my faith will find the way
And I’m not afraid
Now I am here with all that is true
So many times
You lived with my strength and my pain
You are my friend
I’m ready to walk that line
Ready to fight, for
I’m not alone in the night
You’re always in sight and it’s so right
For once in your life, let your soul shine through
And know I will go
That extra mile for you
In all the years, you suffer for your love
And my tears will fade away
Heaven above
Now I can steer my ship to the shore
Borne on the wind
All’s fair in love and in war
Steady and sure
I’m ready to walk that line
Ready to fight, I’ll
Weather the storm in the night, you’re always around and it’s so right
For once in your life let your soul shine through
And know I will go
That extra mile for you
Ready to walk that line
Ready to fight, I’ll
Weather the storm in the night
You’re always in sight and it’s so right
For once in your life let your soul shine through
And know I will go
That extra mile for you
