The Ultimate Collection lyrics

No sense pretending its over
Hard times just don't go away
You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
It's time you open up
Have some faith
Nothing good ever comes easy
All good things come in due time
Yes it does
You gotta have something to believe in
I'm telling you to open your mind

Gotta put your heart on the line
If you wanna make it right
You've got to reach out and try

Alone, she lays waiting
Surrounded by gloom
Invaded by shadows
Painting the room
The light from the window
Cuts through the air
And pins the child lying there
Scared of the moon

She pulls up the covers
And shivers in fright
She hides from the colour
That rides on the light

The light through the window
That lights up the sky
And calls this her mournful cry
Scared of the moon
Theres nothing wrong

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend

When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew

There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and it's time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children

He got kicked in the back
He say that he needed that
He hot willed in the face
Keep daring to motivate
He say one day you will see
His place in world history
He dares to be recognized
The fires deep in his eyes
How many victims must there be

Verse 1:
I was alone in the dark when I met ya
Uuuuuuuuuuh uuuuuuh
You took my hand and you told me you loved me
Uuuuuuuuuuh uuuuuuh

I was alone, there was no love in my life
(I was alone, there was no love in my life)
I was afraid, I'd like that you came in time <--still don't this it's right...
(I was afraid, I'd like that you came in time)

(exclusively released song from 1992)

Never try to talk about it
Itâs got to sound good to me inside
I just think about it

Iâm so undemanding
âcause they say love is blind
Iâve lived this life pretending
I can bear this hurt deep inside

The truth is that Iâm longing
For love thatâs so divine
Iâve searched this whole world wishing

Come on and

Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load
Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road

Still specualizing me
Still gettin the round and thee
I've got things to be...and da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da

Why you wanna get me
This won't last forever...oh oh..
Why you wanna fix me

See...please don't do it
God forsake it
I won't take it
Why you stab me in the back

You know I work to hard for this kinda play, (ho!)
I wrote a letter, for the getto of the CIA, (ho!)
I don't care a jack, or about what cha' do, (ho!)
Just put ya dime on the line baby, cos i own you, (ho!)

CHORUS
Somebody said, give up instead on how you feel, (ah-uh)
One blow to the head is all you need
(I aint takin it..ya,)

You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there
Chorus:
And oh - I'll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong

Spoken Intro
Maybe you and I can't do great things
We may not change the world in one day
But we still can change some things today
In our small way
1st Verse
Empty words are not enough
Where there's hurt, we'll be a crutch
When there's thirst, we'll fill each other's cup
Because we care, we love enough to share
Chorus
