25 Years Ago
V1
Mamma I found the letter that you sent,
25 years ago and every word you said
came whispering in the wind like an old friend
visiting for the moment, then gone again, and...
Chorus
I don't want to pretend
'cause mama this world around me
is not the one you left
in every letter you said,
"the sun don't stop from shining,
they'll be happiness again.....again
V2
Walking alone along these empty streets
People have all gone crazy
stop and stare at me
like never before I need all my old friends
Life is here for the moment, then gone again, and...
Chorus
I will never pretend
'cause mama this world around me
is not the one you left
in every letter you said,
"the sun don't stop from shining,
they'll be happiness again.....again
Bridge
Confusion in a world that lost it's face
the smiles have disappeared as
memories fad-ed.
Mama I found the letter that you sent
25 years ago, 25 years ago,
came....whispering in the wind,
like an old friend.

Watching All The Children Play
V1
Another day has just begun, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
We turn our faces toward the sun, ahh, ahh, ahh
Outside this window there's a door,
where the children play
There's been a thousand times before....
Not today
V2
How quickly innocence it fades ahh, ahh, ahh,
Our numbness teaches us to hate ahh, ahh, ahh,
Look what this hatred has become,
mothers lose their precious sons to
all the rockets flying in the air
but God He doesn't care what we believe
or what we wear.
Chorus
He wants to watch the children play
He wants to watch the children play
He wants to watch the children play
V3
And we are brothers with these guns ahh, ahh,
We stand apart where we were one ahh, ahh,
How quickly innocence it fades,
numbness teaches us to hate and shoot our
rockets high up in the air,
But God He doesn't care what we believe or what we wear.
Chorus
He wants to watch the children play
He wants to watch the children play
He wants to watch the children play
He wants to watch the children play
Doin' What We Do
V1
You, memories in my head
the colors seem so red
captured by the days of fall
Me, so much I should have said,
but in a box instead
and hung in pictures on the wall
Pre-chorus
And suddenly the sky has lost it's Blue
everything looks different
The roses in the sunshine
all faded on the other side of glass
Silent walls are echoing the laughter...
Chorus
In photographs
V2
We, heavy from the rain
broken from the pain
waiting for the sun to rise
Love, love lost all of her seeds
she feels that she can't breath
the clouds have come to say goodbye
Pre-chorus
And suddenly the sky has lost it's Blue
everything looks different
The roses in the sunshine
all faded on the other side of glass
Silent walls are echoing the laughter...
Chorus
In photographs
Bridge
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh
Pre-chorus
And suddenly the sky has lost it's Blue
everything looks different
V1
Walking with time
innocence comes and it slips away
It's like we are blind
time comes along
and changes everything
Pre-chorus
We laugh
We Cry
Chorus
What if the world could change and,
We could be blind, innocent and true
Just like the games we played when
We were just children
Doin' what we do
Doin' what we do
Doin' what we do
V2
Under one sky
one side is dark
and one side blue
i think deep inside
we're not do different me and you
Pre-chorus
We laugh
We Cry
Chorus
What if the world could change and,
We could be blind, innocent and true
Just like the games we played when
We were just children doin' what we do
Doin' what we do
Doin' what we do
Bridge
Humming
V3
Grains in the sand
in a world of anything we want to be
walk hand in hand
there are no walls for separating
Pre-chorus
you
me
Chorus
What if the world could change and,
We could be blind, innocent and true
Just like the games we played when
We were just children doin' what we do
Doin' what we do
Doin' what we do
What if the World could change and...
Love, Words Can't Erase
V1
Everything we've been through yea
the hours of our life
Looking back on what's true yea
'cause nothing's black and white
Pre-chorus
It's not the way
I gave my life to you
It's the words, of what she meant to you
Silence inside, thoughts rang like suicide
lost in the rain
Moments in time, numb paralyzed
all slipped away
Chorus
With Love words can't erase
Love words can't erase
V2
No one ever but you yea
the mirror of my eyes
And I know what is true yea
Oh, between you and I
Pre-chorus
It's not the way
I gave my life to you
It's the words, of what she meant to you
Silence inside, thoughts rang like suicide
lost in the rain
Moments in time, numb paralyzed
all slipped away
Chorus
With Love words can't erase
Love words can't erase
Bridge
Shadows in darkness fade
but love, you can't erase
