The Children Of Paradise 06:03

The Children Of Paradise Words & Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) Just yesterday I saw an old French film where the people loved, yeah, but all in vain ‘cause at story's end everybody was unhappy It made me think about a girl I know, yeah with big brown eyes and a pretty smile but she won't look my way no matter how I try to tell her And then I think about the friends I know sittin' home alone with no place to go wonderin' if this shit gonna be this way forever People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December But long as your heart is yearnin' For love's wheels turning inside you realize We're all the children of paradise in the long run See Monterey where the cypress trees stand up to the wind and the prophet's voice still lives on today and rings out across the water Or Inverness where the rain beat down and rivers rode and the houses fell and the people learned to reach out to one another And over Shasta I see William Blake, yes, and Marc Chagall turnin' somersaults in the crustal air while the sun warms all the valleys People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December But long as your heart is yearnin' For love's returning to guide you realize We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise when the morning comes and the shadows fade and the light pours down in a gold parade and I look around, see the one I love dreamin' of the day that we reach out to one another And over Shasta I see William Blake, yes, and Marc Chagall turnin' somersaults in the crustal air while the sun warms all the valleys People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December But long as your heart is yearnin' For love's returning to guide you realize We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run We're all the children of paradise in the long run ...

It's Up To Me Words & Music by Tom Shellenberger Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) And my mind keeps telling me All I've really got to do Is to be happy -- it's up to me In the morning when I wake up Feel your warmth beside me Time transcends reality Yesterday is today, hate is love War is peace, down is up Down is up ... I love you so much, I feel like I've been born again And it doesn't really matter at all The answers to all those questions, well ... And my mind keeps telling me All I've really got to do Is to be happy -- it's up to me It's up to me ...

The Señorita Song (Sooner Or Later) Words and Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) There was a time when I thought that for every ounce of my devotion A heart out there somewhere would echo with love But as I watch the years just roll by it seems a fanciful notion And now I no longer know what I'm sure of I'm runnin' to her, she's runnin' to him Oh, why can't we see the mess that we're in And on the evenings you came crying, do your remember what you were saying? That it was over and time to move on Well, I know the tears were real but it was a game that you were playing And I'm getting tired of being your pawn I'm runnin' to her, she's runnin' to him Oh, why can't we see the mess that we're in Love is the answer say all the wise men Fear not to give your heart away Keeping track — I don't believe it but I'm holding on Sooner or later she's coming my way Love is the answer say all the wise men Fear not to give your heart away I know what you're thinking but I won't hold on Sooner or later she's coming my way So when that morning sun comes rising I'm running down into the ocean Feel those cleansing waters wash over me And I'll watch those waves go rolling by in perpetual motion While the rivers sing me in sweet harmony The wires get crossed, but love's never lost Someday we'll see the mess that we're in

The Cage Words and Music By Tom Shellenberger and Paul Marcus Copyright 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) Watch what we do, hear what we say This seems so real, so real -- it's the American way Maybe we see or maybe we think we know So take a good seat, take a good seat Sit tight for the show Having a good time out on the stage Not even caring it's minimum wage Go ahead — dig it, we're not in a cage Or at least we don't mind Take what you can, leave what you will You can count on me, on me -- that would be better still We could be coming back or maybe just coming on The twilight's in my eyes, the twilight's in my eyes Or is that the dawn I'll live till the castles all shiver and shake Shout through the silence we never could break We'll have to remember to sing at the wake But at least we won't mind Watch what we do, hear what we say This seems so real, so real -- it's the American way Maybe we see or maybe we just think we know So take a good seat, take a good seat I've saved you a seat beside me So sit tight for the show Having a good time out on the stage If we cared at all we would be enraged Look to the stars -- you can see the cage And don't pretend we don't mind!

You're Not Alone 05:24

You're Not Alone Words & Music by Paul Marcus Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music The situation shattered -- I knew that by the morning you'd be gone Tried to fall asleep that night knowing there were tears that wouldn't come And even if the fault was mine I couldn't bear the blame 'Cause I think that I might fall apart on feeling so ashamed Though I guess I could stand it if I tried I really don't know why I never cried I knew just what you wanted, but it was simpler "not to understand" You knew what you wanted, too, but somehow let yourself fall in my hands And every time you handed off to me I dropped the ball Though you seemed to be so certain that I'd never let you fall Well maybe, but I sure did let you slide And I really don't know why I never cried You said, "Don't forsake me, can't you see I cannot let you go “Like the stream fall from the mountain I just don't have another path to flow" Nothing you could promise me would make me change my mind In thinking I could somehow make the water taste like wine If I let you down, at least I never lied But I really don't know why I never cried The candlelight, it's burning, throws its crazy patterns on your face You say the pain is over, but in your eyes I still can see a trace You looked to me, I looked away -- it's always been the same Although in time I'm changing, for the better, so I claimed By now I thought those changes would apply So I really don't know why I never cried I've shared your fears, you're not alone And now I wish that you had known Those hidden parts of me I never shared with you And as the water passes down the valley never to return There are no easy answers and not too many chances left to learn Now I have the strangest feeling, as if I were afraid Though there really isn't anything you did I would trade What you left me will outlast the longest storm And I wish that I were crying in your arms I've shared your fears, you're not alone And now I wish that you had known Those hidden parts of me I never shared with you

On The Morning Of Creation Words & Music by Glenn Diamond Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) On the morning of creation the heavens with joy did ring The oceans sang in celebration of the goodness life would bring But now the world is veiled in darkness and no brother knows his own In the night that is upon us all are strangers, each alone Sit down, mama, let me share in your sorrow Let your tears fall, don't hide the pain Something tells me that by this time tomorrow We will ride that slow and holy train And the world will have learned to love again Will we learn for each other to feel at home on the Earth The time has come to discover just exactly what it's worth The call comes ringing down the ages, can you touch the soul of Man And though there's blood on history's pages we're still seeking the promised land Sit down, mama, let me share in your sorrow Let your tears fall, don't hide the pain Something tells me that by this time tomorrow We will ride that slow and holy train And the world will have learned to love again The call comes ringing down the ages, can you touch the soul of Man And though there's blood on history's pages we're still seeking the promised land

The Difference Words & Music by Tom Shellenberger Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) Tonight I'm feeling so alone And this cold, moonlit night, it feels so good I'd like to show you that I love you but I don't know if I could If you've got to go won't you tell me Where are you wanting to go And when you get there can you find someone else who loves you so You don't know the difference in my heart And you can't feel the difference in my soul Won't you please tell me which is the right way to go Is it true, is it true that you're leaving Can this be true that you've gone How can I face this world without you, how can I carry on Please just one time look right through me Stop thinking 'bout the things I've said and done I'm just like you, I can break down, turn my back and run You don't know the difference in my heart And you can't feel the difference in my soul Won't you please tell me which is the right way to go Won't you please tell me which is the right way to go

I'll Be Beside You Words and Music by Glenn Diamond and Paul Marcus Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP) Please my love, won't you lead the way and I'll come walking after A million miles I've been on my own still there's one path I don't know You know I would give anything to hear your joy and your laughter I love you now as I loved you then I'll be beside you but I don't know when that will be I lost my way so long ago from directions I was learning I really didn't even understand what went on in my mind But even as I turned away I felt my steps returning And In the eyes of truth I swore I would be true to you before you were gone Love is something that nobody ever taught us in school I just never learned the rules Every time I try explaining it I get mixed-up again But I found in your embrace that light I never knew Everybody's talking 'bout the times that you were hungry I know, I've been hungry Who really cares, anyway, what other people sayin' Together we can show 'em how it's done — just you and me So please, my love, won't you lead the way and I'll come walking after I don't know why I think I'm so damn smart when ther's so much I don't know You know I would give anything to share your tears and your laughter Come on, baby, don't you let me down I need you, darling, just to be around me today I love you now as I loved you then I'll be beside you if I can't say when But it won't matter if you'll let me into your heart And every time the bitter cold winds blow I can't explain it but I need just to know you are near
