BETTER DAYS

Ive seen better days,dripping down your face

We dont have to talk,

lets danceFor all the times youfelt alone, dreaming

Two voices carry farther

than meI seek your help so thatmy song may become free

Two voices carry fartherthan me

And in the morning, sing

me loveAnd in the afternoon,

its loveAnd in the evening, if

they loveAnd in the morning, wake

up

And if we sing together,love will sing along

Two voices carry fartherthan one

Together we can bridge achorus to the dawn

Two voices carry far....all the days

Time and mind they melt

away, like the stars and

songs of yesterdayLike the melody youcant recall, but the

harmonies you felt themall the days

This song of solitude

has sung its melodyTwo voices carry farther

than meI seek your help, so

that song may become

freeTwo voices carry fartherthan me

And in the morning, sing

me loveAnd in the afternoon,

its loveAnd in the evening, is

there love?And in the morning, wake

up

Time and mind they meltaway, like the stars and

songs of yesterdayLike the melody you

cant recall, but theharmonies you felt them

all the days

And if we sing together,love will sing along

Two voices carry fartherthan one

Together we can bridge a

chorus to the dawnTwo voices carry fartherthan one, farther than

one, carry onAnd in the morning, wake

IF I WERE FREE

If I were free, I wouldrun into battles with f

lowers and hugs

And bow at the boots ofour well-oiled thugsOh, if I were free

If it were me, I would

yell out I Love You!to all I passed

I would disrobe anddisco and rip off my

mask

Oh, if I were free Id bethe U that crossed the I

to simply bMining our ref lections

at the bottom of the seaWhat did you see?

I saw that you and Iforever have been free

The light become tooheavy and I feel into a

dreamWhat did you dream?

I dreamed a wind that

would sweep every castle

made of sandOut across theancient holy land

Oh, if this were freeIf this were free, wed

be free of the terror ofthe grave

And fear masquerading asthe brave

Oh, if this were freeI woke upon a pig of

red, white and blue

The circus got on heavyso we fell into the zooWhat did you feel?

I felt the fear thatevery queer does in his

headFirst to starting over,

I made sure I was deadWhat did you dream?

Swimming with ancients,

laughing, tired ofgetting lost

We took our left,remember, when we leaned

upon the crossWhat did you see?

I saw that you and Iforever have been free

The light became tooheavy and we fell into a

dream
