Sweet things within your makeup; These things will always last, These things will make Sweet dreams of conversation, Sweet dreams of love affection. Sweet words within your makeup; Sweet words of things to Come on and write your letter, You know it will be better anyhow. You're gonna laugh again, You're gonna smile again, You're gonna love again.

[B]The Prophet[/B] Long ago a tall man told a tale of yesterday, Searching for the truth to life and not for just a way. Finding pleasure from this house his ears, they did obey; In his life a moment's pleasure, never to delay. He was lost and in his trust he found a new meaning; Seeing the things in diff'rent lights his life was redeemed. Words of peace will fill his mind and change his way of life; Peaceful meetings with his heart have made him more alive. Meeting wise old women on the cliffs of life itself; Asking not for pers'nal meaning, more for just himself. Soon we'll be as he proclaimed in a new way of living; Take the things you need in life but remember the giving. Prophesy within your mind and you will work it out; Prophesy that some will die but only those who doubt. Then you'll never worry as somtimes you used to do; Just remember when you're gone there's someone after you, you. [B]Clear Days[/B] I once knew a sweet young girl; Her body was her world of love, Her laughter was as happiness is. Of all the times I treasure this. And on a day we will remember, On a clear day we will love forever. I once knew a sweet young dream, That if life itself were all we had And who are we to ask for more; Let's not decide, let's be sure. And on a day we will remember, On a clear day we'll all be together, Together. [B]Astral Traveller[/B] And in the ruins Caught in the noose around me, Glasses tell lies. Wondering when To do it again of another Flying to the sky, Somewhere flying high. Astral trav'ller, Leaving without her, Wond'ring where lives go; In and out the valley below. Once in the air, We could expect a great respect in being. (astral trav'ller.) Memories fly Over the sky, and oh, the Sight's worth seeing, Just believin'. Astral trav'ller, Leaving without her, Wond'ring where lives go; In and out the valley below. [B]Time and a Word[/B] (anderson/foster) In the morning when you rise, Do you open up your eyes, see what I see? Do you see the same things ev'ry day? Do you think of a way to start the day Getting things in proportion? Spread the news and help the world go 'round. Have you heard of a time that will help us get it together again? Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong? Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear When you get things in perspective. Spread the news and help the word go round. There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me, It's right for me, and the time is now. There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me, It's right for me, and the word is love. Have you heard of a time that will help get it together again? Have you heard of the word that will stop us going wrong? Well, the time is near and the word you'll hear When you get things in perspective. Spread the news and help the word go round. There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me, It's right for me, and the time is now. There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me, It's right for me, and the word is love. There's a time and the time is now and it's right for me, It's right for me, and the time is now. There's a word and the word is love and it's right for me, It's right for me, and the word is love.
