    Hang In Long Enough
    The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
    The writing's on the wall, for you to see
    You never thought you'd ever get the taste
    You never thought that it could be this good
    Just tell me what you want and I'll find the key
    Reach out and touch it's all yours.
    If you hang in long enough, you'll do it
    Just hang in long enough
    You're down on the ground, or so you say
    You'd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
    Don't ask me how I know, you don't wanna hear
    It's been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.
    You never thought you'd ever get the chance
    You never thought your break would come along
    If you tell me what you want, I'll find the key
    Just reach out and touch it's all yours
    If you hang in...
    They always say
    The best things in life are free
    But you want to have everything
    Well you're going to have to beg if you want it all.
    So hang in long enough, you'll do it
    Hang in long enough
    They'll let you out, then pull you in
    Playing hell with your emotions,
    You'll feel like giving in.
    So just hang in long enough...

    That's Just The Way It Is
    All day long he was fighting for you
    And he didn't even know your name
    Young men come and young men go
    But life goes on just the same
    And I don't know why
    Why do we keep holding on
    I don't know why
    Pretending to be oh so strong
    Oh why
    Is there something I don't know
    Or something very wrong, with you and me
    Or maybe
    That's the way it is, there's nothing I can do,
    That's just the way it is.
    They've been waiting for word to come down
    They've been waiting for you night and day
    They won't wait any longer for you
    It may already be too late
    And I don't know why...
    You see the dying, you feel the pain
    What have you got to say
    If we agree that we can disagree
    We could stop all of this today
    It's been your life for as long as you can remember
    But you cannot fight no more
    You must want to look your son in the eyes
    When he asks you what you did it for
    'Cos all day long he was fighting for you
    And he didn't even know your name
    Young men come and young men go
    But life goes on just the same
    I don't know why...

    Do You Remember?
    We never talked about it
    But I hear the blame was mine
    I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
    But I wouldn't want to waste your time
    'Cos I love you, but I can't take any more
    There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
    Yes we could try, like we tried before
    When you kept on telling me those lies
    Do you remember...?
    There seemed no way to make up
    'Cos it seemed your mind was set
    And the way you looked it told me
    It's a look I know I'll never forget
    You could've come over to my side
    You could've let me know
    You could've tried to see the difference between us
    But it seemed too far for you to go.
    Do you remember...?
    Through all of my life
    In spite of all the pain
    You know people are funny sometimes
    'Cos they just can't wait
    To get hurt again
    Do you remember...?
    There are things we won't recall
    Feelings we'll never find
    It's taken so long to see it
    'Cos we never seemed to have the time
    There was always something more important to do
    More important to say
    But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
    And now it's too late
    Do you remember...?

    Something Happened On The Way To Heaven
    (Collins/Stuermer)
    We had a life, we had a love,
    But you don't know what you've got 'til you lose it
    Well that was then and this is now
    And I want you back
    How many times do I have to say I'm sorry
    I only wanted someone to love
    But something happened on the way to heaven
    It got a hold of me and wouldn't let go
    And I want you back
    How many times do I have to say I'm sorry
    You can run, and you can hide
    But I'm not leaving less you come with me
    We've had our problems but I'm on your side
    You're all I need, please believe in me
    How can something so good go so bad
    How can something so right go so wrong
    I don't know, I don't have all the answers
    But I want you back
    How many times can I say I'm sorry
    They say you can't take it with you
    When you go
    And I believe it
    But taking what I've got or being
    Here with you, you know
    I'd rather leave it
    You can run...

    Colours
    Deep inside the border
    Children are crying
    Fighting for food
    Holding their heads
    Breaking their bread with a stone
    All along the roadside
    People are standing
    Watching the sun
    Shielding their eyes
    Brushing the flies from their face
    Tell me, what can you say
    Tell me, who do you blame
    Like a mirror you see yourself
    These people each have a name
    All around the township
    Young men are dying
    (Of) hunger and thirst
    The well has run dry
    The tears from her eye feeds her son
    Tell me...
    You can say you're pulling back
    We see the pictures everywhere
    But what we don't see is what's
    Going on behind the closed doors
    And you don't seem to care
    Do you expect me to believe you
    How can you really think
    You can take your horse down to the water
    Hold a gun at his head
    And make him drink
    No matter what you say, it never gets any better
    No matter what you do, we never see any change
    People living without rights
    Without their dignity
    How loud does one man have to shout
    To earn his right to be free
    You can keep your toy soldiers
    To segregate the black and white
    But when the dust settles
    And the blood stops running
    How do you sleep at night?
    No matter what you say...
    What makes you so high and mighty
    What makes you so qualified
    You can sit there and say
    How many have their freedom
    But how many more have died
    You decide to sit in judgement
    Trying to play God yourself
    Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
    Stop with you and no one else
    No matter...

    I Wish It Would Rain Down
    You know I never meant to see you again
    And I only passed by as a friend
    All this time I stayed out of sight
    I started wondering why
    Now I, I wish it would rain down, down on me
    Yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
    You said you didn't need me in your life
    I guess you were right
    Well I never meant to cause you no pain
    But it looks like I did it again
    Now I, I wish ....
    Though your hurt is gone, mines hanging on, inside
    And I know it's eating me through every night and day
    I'm just waiting on your sign
    'Cos I know, I know I never meant to cause you no pain
    And I realize I let you down
    But I know in my heart of heart of hearts
    I know I'm never gonna hold you again
    Now I...

    Another Day In Paradise
    She calls out to the man on the street
    "Sir, can you help me?
    It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
    Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
    He walks on, doesn't look back
    He pretends he can't hear her
    Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
    Seems embarrassed to be there
    Oh think twice, it's another day for
    You and me in paradise
    Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
    You and me in paradise
    She calls out to the man on the street
    He can see she's been crying
    She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
    Can't walk but she's trying
    Oh think twice...
    Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
    Oh lord, there must be something you can say
    You can tell from the lines on her face
    You can see that she's been there
    Probably been moved on from every place
    'Cos she didn't fit in there
    Oh think twice...

    Heat On The Street
    You've gotta shout if you've got something to say
    I know it's getting bad, you read it every day
    And you, you can try your best ot fight it
    But you can't make it on your own
    Someone better tell the people up there
    I think they ought to know, the bubble's just about to bust
    Tell them they'd better beware
    The word is on the street, get up on your feet, and shout out
    The kids out there don't know how to react
    The streets are getting tough and that's a matter of fact
    And I, I can't take it any longer
    But we can't make it on our own
    The people there find it hard to relate
    They don't know how it feels to be standing there on your own
    Believe me, it's never too late
    It's time to make a move, get up on your feet and shout
    Stop, look down, everybody, do you see what's going on
    Around you, stop...
    Shout out, shout it out, shout loud
    Shout out, shout it out, shout loud
    There are people who give and there are people who take
    But I believe it's gonna get better
    Realize what a difference you make
    And don't turn away, Hey! I'm talking to you!
    So there's only the one solution
    Stop and think what's going on
    You can draw your own conclusions
    But we won't make it on our own
    Someone better tell the people up there
    I think they ought to know
    The bubble's just about to burst
    Tell them they'd better beware
    The word is on the street
    Get up on your feet and shout
    Stop, look down, everybody
    Do you see what's going on
    Around you, stop...

    All Of My Life
    All of my life, I've been searching
    For the words to say how I feel.
    I'd spend my time thinking too much
    And leave too little to say what I mean
    I've tried to understand the best I can
    All of my life.
    All of my life, I've been saying sorry
    For the things I know I should have done
    All the things I could have said come back to me
    Sometimes I wish that it had just begun
    Seems I'm always that little too late
    All of my life
    Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
    Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
    Set 'em up, cos I'm going nowhere
    There's too much I need to remember, too much I need to say
    All of my life, I've been looking
    But it's hard to find the way
    Reaching past the goal in front of me
    While what's important just slips away
    It doesn't come back but I'll be looking
    All of my life
    Set 'em up...
    All of my life, there have been regrets
    That I didn't do all I could
    Making records upstairs, while he watched TV
    I didn't spend the time I should
    It's a memory I will live with
    All of my life.

    Saturday Night And Sunday Morning

    Father To Son
    Somewhere down the road, you're gonna find a place
    It seems so far, but it never is
    You won't need to stay, but you might lose your strength
    On the way
    Sometimes you may feel you're the only one
    'Cos all the things you thought were safe, now they're gone
    But you won't be alone, I'll be here to carry you along
    Watching you 'til all your work is done
    When you find your heart, you'd better run with it
    Cos when she comes along, she could be breaking it
    No there's nothing wrong, you're learning to be strong
    Don't look back
    She may soon be gone, no don't look back
    She's not the only one, remember that
    If your heart is beating fast, then you know she's right
    If you don't know what to say, well, that's all right
    You don't know what to do?
    Remember she is just as scared as you
    Don't be shy, even when it hurts to say
    Remember, you're gonna get hurt someday, anyway
    Then you must lift your head, keep it there
    Remember what I said
    I'll always be with you don't forget
    Just look over your shoulder I'll be there.
    If you look behind you, I will be there.

    Find A Way To My Heart
    Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you
    From wherever you are, I'll be waiting
    I'll keep a place in my heart, you will see it shining through
    So find a way to my heart, and I will, I will follow you
    This journey's not easy for you, I know If your footsteps get too faint to hear, I'll go
    'Cos you know, quesations are never that easy
    And never the same
    You have the answer believe me
    If you have the faith
    Find a way to my heart...
    Time may come, and time may go, I know
    If you should call out for me, I'll go
    But you know, there is a code to be broken
    I wrap it around
    Without a word being spoken
    Without a sound
    There's a reason I hide my heart
    Out of sight out of mind
    And when I find out just who you are
    The door will be open for you to..
    Find a way to my heart...
