Same Old Lang Syne
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I brushed her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize my face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried
(instrumental break)
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in the light I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude
She said she saw me in the record store
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly but the traveling was hell
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence, another auld lang syne
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
Running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back at school ...
And felt that old familiar pain ......
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul;
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole;
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free!
Its better with the music....The Enemy Is Dead
I Can't Believe What I Said
The Enemy Is Dead
Did it Only Exist in Our Head?
Sheltered from the Evils of the World until the Truth Is Seen
Sheltered from Realities of Life, Your Human Rights Are Free
Freedom, Taken for Granted 'Cause We Don't Know What Oppression
Means
Freedom, Taken for Granted by the Leaders Who Would Crush the Dream
A Crack, Exposing Human Rights
Light Against a Granite Sky
A Crack, Exposing Human Life
A Fire Burns
For the Freedom, for the Freedom, for the Freedom
Never Given but Taken
For the Freedom
Die for the Reason
One Man Stands
Hard as He Waits for Freedom's Hand
A Unified Voice for Freedom of Choice
One Man Stands for
Life
He'll Give His
Would You Give Yours to Fight for a Cause
One Man Stands
And the Wall Cracks, and the Wall Cracks
And the Wall Cracks, and the Walls Come Crumbling
Down with Old Ideals That Could Never Work in Modern Times
Free Choice, Religious Freedom, Basic Rights Are on the Bottom Line
Down with All the Icons of the past Cold War and Detente
The Flock No Longer Fears the Wolf, the Flock Is Taking What it Wants
A Crack, Exposing Human Rights
Light Against the Granite Sky
A Crack, Exposing Human Rights
A Fire Burns
For the Freedom, for the Freedom, for the Freedom
Never Given but Taken
For the Freedom
Die for the Reason
One Man Stands
Hard as He Waits for Freedom's Hand
A Unified Voice for Freedom of Choice
One Man Stands for
Life
He'll Give His
Would You Give Yours to Fight for a Cause
One Man Stands
And the Wall Cracks, and the Wall Cracks
And the Wall Cracks, and the Walls Come Crumbling
Down!
One Man Stands for Life - I Never Questioned
One Life Costs Us All - They Love Their Children
Every Man Stands and Fights - Who Is My Enemy?
One Man's Rule Will Fall - One Man Stands
One Man Stands
Hard as He Waits for Freedom's Hand
A Unified Voice for Freedom of Choice
One Man Stands for
Life
He'll Give His
Would You Give Yours to Fight for a Cause
One Man Stands
And the Wall Cracks, and the Wall Cracks
And the Wall Cracks, and the Walls Come Crumbling
Down!
Brothers in Arms
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm
Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
