well there ain't no point in moving on
until you've got somewhere to go
and the road that I have walked upon
well it filled my pockets
and emptied out my soul

all those insecureties
that have held me down for so long
I can't say that I've found a cure for these
but at least I know them
so they're not so strong

you look for your dreams in heaven
but what the hell are you supposed to do

I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me

Well there ain't no point in moving on
Until you've got somewhere to go
And the road that i have walked upon
Well it filled my pockets
And emptied out my soul

All those insecurities
That have held me down for so long
I can't say i've found a cure for these
But at least i know them
So they're not so strong

You look for your dreams in heaven
But what the hell are you supposed to do

Oh she knows
She takes his hand
And prays the child will understand
At the door they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
Mothers pride
Baby boy
His father's eyes
He's a soldier waiting for war
Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son

And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before

No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when i go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Were right here from the start
And they won't go when i go

And i'll go where i've longed
To go so long
Away from tears

Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him i'll bide
Because they won't go when i go

Big men feeling small

(George Michael)
Higher, higher
Won't you come with me
Baby gonna get my soul free
Now you and me
I guess we see things differently
We're night and day
A bad connection some would say
And i don't want nothing to change
I don't want nothing to change
Because
When you touch me baby
I don't have no choice
Oh that sweet temptation
In your voice
Higher, higher
Won't you come with me

(George Michael)
When your heart's in someone else's hands
Monkey see and monkey do
Their wish is your command
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same
All you do is love and love is all you do
I should know by now the way i fought for you
You're not to blame
Everyone's the same
I know you think that you're safe
Mister
Harmless deception
That keeps love at bay

(George Michael)
Let me tell you a secret
Pur it in your heart and keep it
Something that i want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have something to show
You tell me you're old on the inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
Because nobody else
Has the power to make you happy
How can i help you

(George Michael)
These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances

(George Michael)
If you've got something to say
Why don't you say it
If you've got something to give
Why don't you give it to me
Day after day i have to say it
We're moving further from heaven
And closer to the deep blue sea
'Cause i have no secrets from you
And i have nothing left to hide
And i'm open to all your questions
Why can't you reach inside
Like i have
Like i have for you

(George Michael)
Now every day i see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a white
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well
I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a too! Boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well
It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday

each morning I get up I die a little
can barely stand on my feet
take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord, what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
bu I just can't get no relief, Lord!
somebody, somebody
can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
at the end I take home my hard earned pay
all on my own-

so you want to be free
to live your life the way you wanna be
will you give if we cry
will we live or will we die

tainted hearts heal with time
shoot bad love so we can
stop the bleeding

solitary brother,
is there still a part of you that wants to live?
solitary sister,
is there still a part of you that wants to give?
solitary brother,
is there still a part of you that wants to live?

it was the third of september
that day I'll always remember, yes I will
'cause that was the day that my daddy died

never had a chance to see him, no
never heard nothing but bad things about him
mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth
mama just hung her head and said

chorus
papa was a rollin' stone
wherever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died
all he left us was alone
(repeat)

sometimes I get the feelin'
I was back in the old days-long ago
when we were kids, when we were young
things seemed so perfect-you know?
thedays were endless, we were crazy-we were young
the sun was always shinin'-we just lived for fun
sometimes ot seems like lately-I don't know
the rest of my life's been-just a show

those were the days of our lives
the bad things in life were so few

a desert road from Vegas to nowhere
someplace better than where you've been
a coffee machine that needs some fixin'
in a little cafe just around the bend

I am calling you
can't you hear me?
I am calling you
(2x)

a desert road from Vegas to nowhere
someplace better than where you've been
