from Answers to Nothing
One thing I know I've learned over all
The more that you trust The harder you fall
The more you believe The more you recall
You'll see the signs You'll hear the sound
When your feeling of hope Is turned upside down
My hope lay in tatters Lying cold on the ground
When I found
You lied
From your head down to your toes
You lied
But somehow I know I'll survive
And I can't believe another word you say
So go your way
You lied
You lied
Every little word you said You whispered lies
And right now I know I despise
Every thing I find that came from you
'Cos I hurt too
You lied
You lied
As you looked me in the eyes I saw you lie
But somehow I knew I'd get by
When nothing seems to matter anymore
Who did you lie for?
Dear God
from Answers to Nothing
Dear God, is there somebody out there?
Is there someone to hear my prayer?
I'm a simple man with simple words to say
Is there some point in asking?
Asking for more only got us where we are today
Lost and alone and afraid
Give me, love for the lonely
Give me, food for the hungry
Give me, peace in a restless world
Give me, hope for the children
Give me, a worldwide religion
Give me, peace in a restless world
Dear God, can you hear me crying?
A whole world crying
Looking for something to say
We had it all and we threw it all away
Is there somebody watching?
Somebody watching over the mess that we've made
We're lost and alone and afraid
Give me, love for the lonely
Give me, food for the hungry
Give me, peace in a restless world
Give me, hope for the children
Give me, a worldwide religion
Give me, peace in a restless world
And we need to know there's something good
Though all our years of solitude go on and on and on...
Guns and Arrows
from Breathe
Come lay your head upon my breast, she said
Come turn your worries into mine
I want to hear it all, so let your fortress fall and you'll be fine
Then she said
When you're tired of all your sorrows
Just fire your guns and arrows and nail me through my heart
Oh, this open heart
Told her all the things I'd kept inside,
The things I wouldn't tell a soul
She smiled and took my hand, with a look of understanding she eased it all
Then she said
When you're tired of all your sorrows
Just fire your guns and arrows and nail me through my heart
Oh, this open heart
Take me through my heart
Oh, this open heart
She gave herself up to me, the first to touch her soul
She cried and kissed my hand with a look of understanding she eased it all
Then she said
When you're tired of all your sorrows
Just fire your guns and arrows and nail me through my heart
Oh, this open heart
Just love me for my heart
Oh, this open heart
