I am weeping, always sleeping
Dreading when the light comes in
Dreaming of tomorrow and the happiness that it can bring
Contemplatin' and debating as the time just drifts away
You will find today can be tomorrow if you let tomorrow be today
Don't wait, don't hesitate
'Cause I want to tell ya
And I have to tell ya
Dreaming isn't good for you unless you do
The things it tells you to

Seems I've got to have a change in scene
Every night I have the strangest dreams
Imprisoned by the way it should have been
Left here on my own or so it seems
I've got to leave before I start to scream
Someone's locked the door, she's took the key

Feelin alright?
I'm not feelin to good myself
Feelin alright I'm not feeling to good myself

Well, boy you sure took me for one big ride

I was born by a river in a little tent,
And just like this river,
I've been running ever since.
It's been a too long, too long-time a-coming,
But I know a change gonna come,
Oh, yes, it is.
It's been too hard living,
And I'm afraid to die.
I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.
It's been a long time a, long time a-coming,
But I know, Lord I know a change gonna come, Lord.

When the shrill winds are screaming
And the evening is still
Lady samantha glides over the hill
In a long satin dress that she wears every day
Her home is the hillside, her bed is the grave
Lady samantha glides like a tiger
Over the hills with no one beside her
No one comes near
They all live in fear
But lady samantha, she sheds only tears

Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' for night to fall
A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
Satin and lace, isn't it a pity
Didn't find time to call
Ready or not, gonna make it to the city
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball

Dress up tonight, why be lonely?
You'll stay at home and you'll be alone
So why be lonely?

Eli's comin'
Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')
Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)

I know the desert can't hold all the love
That I feel in my heart for you,
If I could spell it out across the sea,
I know my love would cover it up.
Ain't that a lotta love
For one heart to hold.

If the bees only knew how sweet you are, baby,
They would seal up their honeycomb.
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up their song.

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard, easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend, I need a friend

You've got your head up in the air
Act like you don't even care
When I tell ya I'll be there
Come on, stop what your doin to me.

Circle for a landing, get your feet back on the ground
Circle for a landing, its time to come on down
Just the thought of losing you is more than I can take
Circle for a landing before it's too late

No one loves you like I do
When I think I think of you
