Every soul comes to the sun
Carried on angel’s wings to human birth
Born of love or born of hate
Each one is heaven sent to human fate

Dream
Little girl, dream
Dream
Little boy, dream
Dream

In joy and pain each one will grow
For wisdom is so much more than what we know
And every child will find their way
Of living the whole life story day by day

Dream
Little girl, dream
Dream
Little boy, dream
Dream

extra lyrics on Live at the Royal Albert Hall cd:

Many lifetimes comes and go???
But one man goes???

(written by Jason Swinscoe and Phil France - vocals by Patrick Watson)

Where the doors are moaning all day long,
Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn,

Where the windows are breathing in the light,
Where the rooms are a collection of our lives,

This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place that I call my home...

(written by Jason Swinscoe, Phil France, Stuart McCallum and Patrick Watson - vocals by Patrick Watson)

I'm sinking into you
Watch me dissapear
I'm sinking into you now
Watch me dissapear

Sweet song
Watch me sinking into you now

So much better here
So much better here

(written by Jason Swinscoe and Phil France - vocals by Fontella Bass)

How near
How far
How near, boy
Tell me, how far

How near
Ooooh yeah
How far

(written by Jason Swinscoe, Stuart McCallum and Patrick Watson - vocals by Patrick Watson and Lou Rhodes)

My darling, darling girl
Won't you shout it to the world
My darling, darling, darling girl
Shout it out, my golden girl
Wrap yourself with all the world

Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl
Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl
(Oh my golden girl)
Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl
(Wrap yourself with all the world)
Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl
(Shout, my golden girl)
Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl
(Wrap yourself around the world)
Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl

Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl
(Wrap yourself around the world)
Little bit of gold, little bit of pearl

(Oh that feelin's rising...
rising over me)
Oh, that song is singin'
Singin' in to me.
Over everything,
I used to be.

Oh, that song is singin'
Singin' in to me.

Slow and sweet
It caries me
Caries me (x3)
Out to sea

And swallows me
In to the deep
And comforts me (x2)

(Oh, it's all around me, it's all I can see
Even when I close my eyes, It's holdin' me)
Oh, that weight is liftin'
Liftin' on me

(Tenderly)
It caries me
Out to the sea
And swallows me (x3)
Into the deep
And comforts me (x2)
In ... In to the deep
And comforts me (x3)

Oh, that silence signin', singing to me...

Breathe up to me (x2)
Breathe in through me
Breathe out through me
Breathe in through me

ooh Breathe out through... through me
Why don't you breathe in... breathe in through me
and breathe out through me

(written by Patrick Watson and Jason Swinscoe - vocals by Patrick Watson)

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust...
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home...

Cause, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from me
from you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me...

Cause, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from me
from you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...

So far I see
That I hold the key to a
Ever may be
In this life for me
I know I'm strong
And I will make it through
I'll make it through

All I can say is keep looking forward don't look back
Take time to understand in this life just where you're at
You got so much precious time
To yourself just be true
Be true to you

You know your beauty shines within
You know your soul will always will
Waiting for motion to begin
Rising

In storm this day
There's a new horizon
Be you be free
And set your life to motion

Don't be afraid of who you are
Just keep on rising

'Cause all you can do is keep moving forward don't step back
Make the most of what you got and forget what's in your past

So difficult to see
Just open up your eyes
And realize...

You know your beauty shines within
You know your soul always will
Waiting for motion to begin
Rising
(repeat until end)

The stars light up my life (x2)
The stars light up the sky
So bright
Everlasting

Like the moon
Little we are there ???

The stars light up my life
The stars light up the sky (repeat)
So bright
Everlasting (repeat)

Like the moon
Little we are there ??? (repeat)

And now it seems
as if we're used to the shegree
We made our beds
and now we hate where these beds be
Took nothing at all to part this Red Sea
I'm a shackled child
singing the good song of Freedom
They've got no pride
they interrupt our grieving
Tear drop dropping
for the pain of the world
My best friend dies
when she was just a young girl
Left me here, to fend for myself
Now the pain never leaves
We just learn to cope
so when the devil needs haning
will you tie up the rope and shout PULL!
Let's put an end to this bull
zen thing
How many years
before we pratice what we preach
How many years
before we truly clinch the peak
Only to find that
there is no honey on the moon
Official goon
with the unofficial croon

I'm All Things to All Men
All of the Women
All the Children
Just say when
and I'll take you to my Tardis
Who's the Hardest
Who's the Hardest (4x)

16 bar cycles
heart felt recital
from the wacky blacky man
they should have called me Michael
Look at the monster you make
look at the monster you pay
But you claim no responsibility
cause it's each to his self
in these times that we live
Does God have a sense of humour
then the joke's on us
Cause we're chasing our tails
for how long
The tussle makes us how strong
vintage poor people fun
If we could ease up
on these booze and fags
then, just maybey
life wouldn't be so mad
Be a man my dad said
but what the hell he know
he lost his dreams
he lost his flow
And I don't wanna be alone
I'm born King
so where's my throne
I'm too intense
I'm too deep
I'm too nice for life
So what makes this place so nervous?

I'm All Things to All Men
All of the Women
All the Children
Just say when
and I'll take you to my Tardis
Who's the Hardest
Who's the Hardest (4x)

Look at the monster you make
look at the monster you pay
But you claim no responsibility
but you claim not
We're searching for Jezus
but I'll be damned
if I'll be crucified by 10,000 spies
compulsive lies
They Hate Me
They Love Me
They Hate Me

Cause I'm All Things to All Men, All of the Women, All the Children
Just say when and I'll take you to my Tardis
Who's the Hardest, Who's the Hardest
