for these lyrics.
Sleepy eyes, oh, your daddy lies
Look to the stars above
Oh, sleepy eyes, all your teachers lie
Look to the stars, baby, yes there's life on Mars
Oh, sleepy eyes
Throw away your fears if you dare
Life is everywhere, oh, sleepy eyes
Sleepy child, all your dream defiled
Trust in the stars above
Oh, sleepy child, life goes running wild
Trust in the stars, baby, yes there's life on Mars
Oh, sleepy child
Throw away your fears if you dare
Darlin' life is everywhere, oh sleepy child
You talk of love, you talk of trust
But I can see I sleep alone tonight
And where you go and what you do, baby I can't fight
It's not easy to forget though yesterday is far away
Yet still I can feel you close as breathing
You say you care, you want to know
But I don't know, I sleep alone tonight
And in my heart I feel you care more than you believe
I'll wait for you today and hope tomorrow takes you away
This yearning for the change--I look up at the new life
That I must find, I must find, I must find, I must find, I must find
Soon, oh, soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
I'll wait here for you, our reason to be here
Soon, oh, soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open, our reason to be here
Long ago set into a rhyme
Soon, oh, soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
Hold your head up high you know
You've come a long, long way
Tainted as a fugitive with nothing left to say
Temptation may come, hope your vision doesn't stray
in the name of God you might be forced away, forced away
Moving forward to the only place you know
Side-tracked by some indiscretion, changing as you go
Temptation may come, hope your conscience doesn't hide
the only trip you'll take is inside
Hearing, talking, yes, I love you
Set your heart, sail on the river
Look around as you drift downstream
Pouring souls into the ocean
take account of all you've seen
One people together, freedom for today
So easy the future, so see the children's way
Love me, teach me, know me

My whole life I've worked toward this
to shower you with the passion of my youth
Flash me on the big screen for to show you my potential
I don't think you heard me very clearly the first time
Did you hear me? Did you hear me?
If I admit to all my madness, then so must you
Awake and scared I'm held at the bay
and feeling the sting of the doubt of my promise
Flash me up on the big screen for to show you my potential
I don't think you heard me very clearly the first time
Flash me up on the big screen for to show you my potential
No I don't think you heard me very clearly the first time
Did you hear me? Did you hear me?
If I admit to all my madness, then so must you you
Flash me up and show me who I am
Ooh, to feel the wind
That rushes through those lips
With an ever quickening pace
Must I always see that face
Coming for my love to say
Coming for my love to say
Go away
Go away.
Oh, oh away....
There are no words to say
When you look I look away
When in my mind I dream
That you'd die to be with me
But I won't let my weakness show
I will never let you know
So leave me alone
Let me alone.
Oh, oh away....
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Truly He told us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus sing we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Words by Chappeau de Roquemaure

By Moon, I sing, by moon, I cry
By moon, I live, by moon, I die
On quarter moon
my harlequin is laughing at the heart within
and deep inside this cloud of grey
the hungry strange, I am the prey
By star you wish, by god you pray
By name I curse the light of day
On quarter moon
my harlequin is laughing at the heart within
and deep inside this cloud of grey
the hungry strange, I am the prey
By moon, I sang, by moon, I've cried
By moon, I've lived, bye moon, I'll die
On quarter moon
my harlequin is laughing at the heart within
and deep inside this cloud of grey
the hungry strange I am the prey
Introduce yourself
I know you know me well
you're my love
Introduce yourself
come on, come out
I am the prey of the strange
and he follows me
he's my love
I am the prey of the strange
Dark Thing, come out
Stay in your place
show me your peaceful grace
He is buried here
maker of my every fear
He is my friend and my enemy
and I'm the creator of my love
but now he's wanting me to die
come on, come alive
My anger stirs right here
I want to show you fear of my love
The skies are no longer clear
Dark Thing came out, came out
He is here, He hears me
Oh, hand of mine
wrap yourself around my neck
Then, oh, give me life, give me life
Oh, hand of mine
hold the strings to the fret
then, oh, give them life, give them life
Now there's a thing I don't control
It festers in my soul
It's not the heart, and it's not the mind
It's a force of a different kind
Oh, hand of mine
wrap yourself around my love
Then, oh, steal his life, steal his life
And oh, heart or mine
hold your music deep
Then, oh, give me time, give me time
Now there's a thing I don't control
It festers in my soul
It's not the heart and it's not the mind
It's a force of a different kind
