High and mighty lyrics

I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth

Miles and miles of smiles
Getting me nowhere
Opportunities I just can see
Can't lead me to the slaughter
‘Cause I'll already be there
I've been up that street
And I know what's waiting for me

Did you ever meet
The kind of a lady
She lives her whole life
Saying maybe
Running here and there
As she pleases
Not a thought
For the social diseases

Though she never
Thinks of settling down
She'll spend time
Turning your head around
But don't let your heart start dancing
The lady don't
Waste no time romancing

Are you mine or are you
The woman of the world

I can't stop singing
I can't see the end
Just a new beginning
As long as I keep on trying
I'll survive just fine
Free to take my time

Ridin' the moon in the midnight sky
I can see through
The man who lies with eyes
And the real thing that's wrong is
He has no song to lean on
So I'll take my time
Just to give you my rhyme
To try to be sure and open the door

I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand
That I've made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show
It's ‘cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you

Every living day
You fill my heart
With a breath of spring

I was missing my
Little Miss Misty Eyes
She made my life complete
I'd been waiting on
True love's sweet surprise
And it tasted so sweet
Oh it tasted so sweet

I could hear
The sound of the love bell
Told me all it could tell
And the sight of
The blue moon rising
Told me all was well
Told me all was well

I was just driftin'
As a wind blown wave
Like a stricken ship

I can't believe y'all are still sayin'
We're a long way from rock'n'roll
You won't look for the good
In the tunes we're playin'
Prefer to say we got no soul

But day after day in town after town
People say we're doin' alright
We play and we stay boogyin' down
And rockin' on into the night

It's breath and words
And time you're wastin'
When you should be tryin'
To have a good time

Just like footprints in the snow
Who knows where my heart will go
Will it lead me to you
Or will I see another empty day

Seasons come and quickly go
Kinda makes me
Wonder if they know
Why my heart keeps
Running near and far
If only they could tell me
Where you are

If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember when

I walked you to your doorstep
Believin' we could make a little love
And I let you have my heart
I was as certain as the stars above

Looked here and there
Every everywhere
I even searched beyond the dawn
But you were nowhere to be found
And I was going round and round
Lost like I'd never been born

Time after time
I've lost my love for a rhyme
A reason seemed good enough

You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you
Who had seen men dyin'
You heard their children cryin'
While their women weep in silence

And you who thought
You were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then
You'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side
And you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.

She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.

I havent’ listened to a word you’ve said
I’ve been wandering inside my head
Don’t care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright

Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young

There’s a lie that runs
Across the human race
There’s a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world

If we try to find some
Deep communication
Bring an end to war
And start a new creation
From the truth inside
It’s waiting, it’s waiting

Suddenly then
The clearest voice will call
Feeling the air

I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you're lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying

It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul

I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope
Until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on

But the wall of your secret heart

There's been some
Changes in my time
But this one's playing
Games with my mind
Stopped in my tracks
No thought of looking back
The lady's got me tied up
But I've already made my mind up
One way or another
She'll be mine

It wasn't anything I could define
None of those ringing bells
Giving me a sign
I just took a look
But I was on the hook
The lady's got me tied up

This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind ya

Easy livin' and I've been forgiven

Circle of hands
Cold spirits plan
Searching my land for an enemy
Came across love's sweet cost
And in the face of beauty
Evil was lost

Sky full of eyes, minds full of lies
Black from their cold hearts, down to their graves
Murdered the dawn, spreading their scorn
Cursing the sun of which love was born

We must keep them away
Or pretty soon we'll pay
And count the cost in sorrow

O:ngyilkos patka'nyok hulla'i boritja'k el a va'rost
Minden sarkon egy fe'lig ke'sz mauzo'leum
Hihetelenu:l ko:ltse'ges utcake'p
O:tmillio' tonna szu:rke feste'k
kell me'g!
Ez az a lepratelep
Ahol senki sem beteg
Itt festve vannak a foltok
Itt mindenki boldog
Mindenki jo'l van,
Mindenki fe'l
Mindenki jobban van
Mindenkine'l
Mindenki jo'l van
Mindenki ferto~z
Mindenki bu'jtat

What do you think I am
Do you think I'm dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming

Who d'you think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and
Turn it upside down
When it should be round

Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from
The evils of your mind

I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
