OPEN UP YOUR EYES AND SEE THE BRAND NEW DAY
CLEAR BLUE SKY AND BRIGHTLY SHINING SUN
OPEN UP YOUR EARS AND HEAR THE BREEZE ESSAY
EVERYTHING THAT'S COLD AND GRAY IS GONE
OPEN UP YOUR HANDS AND FEEL THE RAIN COME ON DOWN
TASTE THE WIND AND SMELL THE FLOWERS SWEET PERFUME
OPEN UP YOUR MIND AND LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN
THE EARTH HAS BEEN REBORN AND LIFE GOES ON
AND DO YOU CARE WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND YOU?
DO YOUR SENSES KNOW THE CHANGES WHEN THEY COME?
DO YOU SEE YOURSELF REFLECTED IN THE SEASON?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO CARRY ON?
RIDING ON THE TAPESTRY OF ALL THERE IS TO SEE
SO MANY WAYS AND OH SO MANY THINGS
REJOICING IN THE DIFFERENCES THERE'S NO ONE JUST LIKE ME
YET AS DIFFERENT AS WE ARE WE'RE STILL THE SAME
AND OH I LOVE THE LIFE AROUND ME
I FEEL A PART OF EVERYTHING I SEE
AND OH I LOVE THE LIFE WITHIN ME
A PART OF EVERYTHING IS HERE IN ME
A PART OF EVERYTHING IS HERE IN ME

LIVING ON FREE FOOD TICKETS
WATERING THE MILK FROM THE HOLE IN THE ROOF
WHERE THE RAIN CAME THROUGH
WHAT CAN WE DO?
TEARS FROM YOUR BABY SISTER CRYING
'CAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A DRESS
WITHOUT A PATCH FOR THE PARTY TO GO
AH, BUT YOU KNOW SHE'LL GET BY
BECAUSE SHE'S LIVING IN THE LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN
DADDY'S GOIN' TO BUY YOU A DREAM TO CLING TO
MOMMY'S GONNA LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS SHE CAN
AND SHE CAN
IT'S A GOOD THING YOU DON'T HAVE BUS FARE
IT WOULD FALL THROUGH THE HOLE IN YOUR POCKET
AND YOU'D LOSE IT IN THE SNOW ON THE GROUND
WALKIN' TO TOWN TO FIND A JOB
TRYIN' TO KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM
BUT THE HOLE IN YOUR SHOE LETS THE SNOW COME THROUGH
AND IT CHILLS TO THE BONE
BOY, YOU BETTER GO HOME WHERE IT'S WARM
AND YOU CAN LIVE IN THE LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN
DADDY'S GOIN' TO BUY YOU A DREAM TO CLING TO
MUMMY'S GOIN' TO LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS SHE CAN
AND SHE CAN
LIVIN' ON DREAMS AIN'T EASY
BUT THE CLOSER THE KNIT, THE TIGHTER THE FIT
AND THE CHILLS STAY AWAY
YOU TAKE THEM IN STRIDE, FAMILY PRIDE
YOU KNOW FAITH IS YOUR FOUNDATION
WITH A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE AND A WARM CONVERSATION
AND MANY A PRAYER
MAKING YOU STRONG, WHERE YOU BELONG
LIVING IN THE LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN
DADDY'S GOIN' TO BUY YOU A DREAM TO CLING TO
MUMMY'S GOIN' TO LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS SHE CAN
YEAH
LIVING IN THE LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
SMILES FROM THE HEART OF A FAMILY MAN
DADDY'S GOIN' TO BUY YOU A DREAM TO CLING TO
MUMMY'S GOIN' TO LOVE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS SHE CAN
YEAH

I SAW A BERKLEY WOMAN
SITTING IN HER ROCKING CHAIR
A DULCIMER IN HER LAP
A FEATHER IN HER HAIR
HER BREASTS SWAYED FREELY
WITH THE RHYTHM OF THE ROCKING CHAIR
SHE WAS A-SITTING AND A-SINGING AND A-SWAYING
HER CHEEKS WERE RED I DECLARE
TWAS HARD TO BELIEVE
WHAT MY EYES SHOWED ME THEN
THE COLOUR IN HER CHEEKS
WAS JUST HER NATURAL SKIN
SHE WORE NO MAKEUP
TO MAKE HER LOOK THAT WAY
SHE WAS A NATURAL MAMA WITH THE RED CHEEKS
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY
WELL I FINALLY REALISED
THERE WAS HUNGER IN MY STARE
IN MY MIND I WAS SWAYING
WITH THE WOMAN IN THE ROCKING CHAIR
BUT THE LADY I WAS LIVING WITH
WAS STANDING RIGHT BY MY SIDE
SHE SAW MY STARE AND SHE SAW MY HUNGER
AND LORD IT MADE HER CRY
SO WITH ANGER ON HER FACE
YES AND THE HURT IN HER EYES
SHE SCRATCHED ME AND SHE CLAWED ME
SHE SCREAMED AND SHE CRIED
OH YOU DON'T GIVE ME NEAR
ALL THE LOVING THAT YOU SHOULD
YET YOU'RE READY TO GO AND LAY WITH HER
YOU'RE JUST NO DAMN GOOD¡
WELL I GUESS SHE'S PROBABLY RIGHT
OH I GUESS I'M PROBABLY WRONG
I GUESS SHE'S NOT TOO FAR AWAY
SHE HASN'T BEEN GONE VERY LONG
AND I GUESS WE COULD GET TOGETHER
AND TRY IT ONE MORE TIME
BUT I KNOW THAT WANDERLUST WOULD COME AGAIN
SHE'D ONLY WIND UP A-CRYING
WELL NOW YOU'VE HEARD MY STORY
PLAIN AS THE LIGHT OF DAY
IT'S HARD TO FEEL GUILTY FOR LOVING THE LADIES
THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY
EXCEPT A WOMAN IS THE SWEETEST FRUIT
THAT GOD EVER PUT ON THE VINE
I'D NO MORE LOVE JUST ONE KINDA WOMAN
THAN DRINK ONLY ONE KINDA WINE

THIS SONG WAS FIRST RELEASED ON THE SPIRIT ALBUM. IT IS THE ONLY ALBUM IT HAS BEEN RELEASED ON.
BORN IN THE MONTH OF JUNE
NO SILVER SPOON TO HELP YOU OUT
YOUR MOTHER HAD YOU NATURALLY
NATURALLY'S THE WAY YOU CAME OUT
YOU KNOW YOUR YOUR OWN MIND
AND YOU SHOW IT TO ME
GIVE ME THE HIGH SIGN
WHEN YOU WANT TO BE FREE
AND OPEN UP MY EYES
TO THE WONDERS THAT YOU SEE
SEE THE AIRPLANE FLY
SEE THE TREES RUSH BY
BE BRAVE AND STRONG WHEN YOU HURT YOURSELF
AND DON'T YOU HAVE A WORRY IN THE WORLD
FOR THE LOVE THAT'S BEEN GIVEN YOU
IS THE ONE THING TIME CAN'T ERASE
AND EVRYDAY IT'S GROWIN'
LIKE THE KNOWIN' SMILE UPON YOUR FACE
YOU'RE STARTIN' OUT STRONG
YOU GET A KICK OUT OF LIFE
YOU LIKE TO SING SONGS
BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
AND WHEN EVERYBODY'S WATCHIN' YOU
YOU SHINE SO BRIGHT
SEE THE AIRPLANE FLY
SEE THE TREES RUSH BY
BE BRAVE AND STRONG WHEN YOU HURT YOURSELF
AND DON'T YOU HAVE A WORRY IN THE WORLD
YOU KNOW YOUR YOUR OWN MIND
AND YOU SHOW IT TO ME
GIVE ME THE HIGH SIGN
WHEN YOU WANT TO BE FREE
AND OPEN UP MY EYES
TO THE WONDERS THAT YOU SEE
SEE THE AIRPLANE FLY
SEE THE TREES RUSH BY
BE BRAVE AND STRONG WHEN YOU HURT YOURSELF
AND DON'T YOU HAVE A WORRY IN THE WORLD
WORDS AND MUSIC BY JACK WILLIAMS

SO MANY YEARS AGO, I CAN'T REMEMBER NOW
SOMEONE WAS WAITING FOR ME
I HAD THE ANSWERS TO ALL OF MY QUESTIONS
LOVE WAS SO EASY TO SEE, I DIDN'T KNOW
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
I THOUGHT NOTHING WAS NEW
THROUGH ALL THE SPACES, AND ALL OF THE CHANGES
WHAT I LOST SIGHT OF WAS YOU
I DIDN'T KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW
I COULD SEE YOU IN SINGING SKIES AND DANCING WATERS
LAUGHING CHILDREN GROWING OLD
AND IN THE HEART AND IN THE SPIRIT
AND IN THE TRUTH WHEN IT IS TOLD
MY LIFE BECAME SHADY, AND I GREW AFRAID
AND I NEEDED TO FIND MY WAY HOME
I JUST COULDN'T SEE YOU, I THOUGHT THAT I'D LOST YOU
I NEVER FELT SO MUCH ALONE, ARE YOU STILL WITH ME
SOMEHOW IN REASON, I LOST SIGHT OF SEASONS
I'M GROWING OUT, GROWING IN
SOMETIMES IN EVENINGS, WHEN DAYLIGHT WAS NEEDED
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN
ARE YOU STILL WITH ME, ARE YOU STILL WITH ME
I'M WITH YOU IN SINGING SKIES AND DANCING WATERS
LAUGHING CHILDREN GROWING OLD
AND IN THE HEART AND IN THE SPIRIT
AND IN THE TRUTH WHEN IT IS TOLD
IF MY FAITH SHOULD FALTER
AND I SHOULD FORSAKE YOU, AND FIND MYSELF TURNING AWAY
WILL YOU STILL BE THERE, WILL YOU STILL BE THERE
I'LL BE THERE IN SINGING SKIES AND DANCING WATERS
LAUGHING CHILDREN GROWING OLD
AND IN THE HEART AND IN THE SPIRIT
AND IN THE TRUTH WHEN IT IS TOLD
