I can't believe you're doing this to me
What have I done to you
I analyze the scene, I'm guilt free
I've got nothing to lose, but you, but you

'Cos I'm doing all that I can
'Cos your only an average man
'Cos I'm doing all that I can
'Cos your only an average man

I've stood by your defense
So many times I've protected your land
But like the foolish man
You built your castle on the sand
You won't listen to no-ones thoughts but yours
Then you don't understand
When I reach out to you
I'm offering you a helping hand, my hand

Why won't you understand
I just want to hold your hand
When I'm reaching out to you
I just want to help you

I'd nothing to lose
When I helped myself to your heart
I'd nothing to prove
I was straight with you from the start

Show me your company
Come and tell me who you be
I'll try and take things easy

I'll be loose I'll be carefree
I'm living for tomorrow not today
Gotta make my plans so in case
I'll be prepared when I see you you smiling

(Chorus) 'Cause I feel so when I'm reaching out for your sky
I've boundless energy. I fell I could run a million miles
I'm riding on the wheel of fortune taking me to places far and free
I feel so high when I approach your sky

When I touch your sky, I want my joy to be discreet
Can't seem to to hide the feeling that you knock me from my seat
When I'm talking with my friends, you're the subject every time
I know I bore them but they do it to me sometimes

I've seen you exposed your thoughts are nude
Come on take off your pride baby
You should wash your attitude
I'm sitting here watching you baby
Trying to pretend your cool and calm
Come on now you can tell me baby
Did the gypsy read your palm

(Chorus)

I feel so high, when I'm touching your sky baby
I feel so high
I feel so high, when I'm touching your sky baby
I feel so high yeah, yeah
I feel so high, when I'm touching your sky baby
I feel so high

Do you recall the sun of '79
I was young but I remember you fine
You were tall and handsome so sweet so divine
One day you'd be mine
Do you recall the sun of '79
You used to tease me saying in ten years time
I still loved you I was biding my time
One day you'd be mine

Now I've revealed my thoughts to you
What's your conclusion? Did you have a clue
Some say your feelings should be aired
Now with you mine have been shared

Do you recall the sun of '79
Playing silly games behind the washing line
We were scolded 10.000.000 times
Happiness then made us blind
The sun's behind the sea of '79
Will it rise again, maybe not in my time
I'll remember you as long as I'm alive
I'll see you again

Dumma dumma dum dum, dah dah dah dee
Yeah, yeah yeah
Dumma dumma dum dum dah dah dee dee

Why should I love you?
You treat me so bad, you make me glad
Why should I care for you
I'll tell you my feelings honestly

There are a few factors that lie in your favour
Yet I'm attracted also distracted
Pride may ruin you slowly, harbouring feelings
You never let go

Trying to tell me that I'm in the wrong
Though we've been together for so long
There is something there that I need
Yet far away from you I shall be free

You wake up the sun shines on your face
You crack a smile you got big plans today
Your freedom lies way up in the skies
You'll fly high with invisible wings

Ooo ooooh oooo, oooh oooh, ohh oooh oooh
Why?

If I was down and came to you
What would you say what would you do?
I can sit here and die away
You said you came to help and stay
I don't wanna seem weak, I don't wanna seem down
I'm gonna rise up and stand on my own ground

Dumma dumma dumma dum dum, dum dum dum
Dumma dumma dumma dum dum, dum dum dum
Stand on my own ground, stand on my own ground

I find my strength in simple things
Things that in nature and birds that sing
Had to realise what I had to do
And that involved fleeing far from you

I don't wanna seem weak, I don't wanna seem down
I'm gonna rise up and stand on my own ground

Adjacently we stand keeping out the cold
Emotions flowing through us, are we being to bold
To say we're in control
Time is moving on soon well be gone
The wall will crumble and fall, it had to be that way

'Cos this competitive world, may let you down
Hearts and souls and minds, they get churned around
People tread on your heart and they don't fear
That brave look in your eye, which says you care

Clouds that float on by, furnishing the sky
So beautiful you want to be there too, oh you can make it there
Stones may block your path people they may laugh
Say your acting like a fool, this fuels your will to prove

So don't ever let go, when someone says its so
Don't give up the flight, cos you know its right
That brave look in you eye, says your dreams won't die
This formulates your key

Don't let the wall crumble and fall
Build it up, keep it up
Cos this competitive world may let you down
Rise up and defend yourself

This competitive world, this competitive world
Rise up and defend yourself

Many lifetimes have I seen, all are vivid in my dreams
Different stories, different themes
Mind adventures
Many mountains have I climbed, to kiss the sky of sweet July
Exotic birds go flying by
Mind adventures, yeah yeah

Would you like an invitation, to my destination
It ain't hard its easy to find
I won't beg or buy ill borrow love, hey what are you thinking of
Adventures take place in my mind

Many stories I've been told by wise men young and some are old
They were strong and they were bold
Mind adventures
Many seasons have I seen, unconventional indeed
In places they have never seen
Spring or summer

Futuristic I may be, I don't feel differently
About strange things I hear and see
Mind adventures
You may have eyes you may not see, you may possess dry chemistry
These mean nothing much to me
Mind adventures, ooh wee

Mind adventures they will set you free
It's easy as you'll see
Mind adventures they will set you free, its easy and you'll see
Ooh ooh, yeah yeah, aiy aiy, eee eee

I see your picture solemn on the wall
There's no expression no laughter there at all
Why are you there watching me, eyes grey and heart of stone
Oh I've tried to please you, seems as though I've failed

Shall I pour some laughter upon your weary soul
You used to be so happy, your life complete and whole
Shall I pour some laughter upon your weary soul
You used to be so happy, your life complete and whole

You must communicate please don't turn away
I'm here to help you and I plan to stay
I see confusion revolves inside your mind
Oh I'm here to help you, I'll be patient, I'll be kind

Baby I can see your burning up inside
There's so much you want to hide
I see confusion revolves inside your mind
Oh I plan to stay here, I'll be patient, I'll be kind

Shall I pour some laughter, we'll drink a smile together
Who I'll share my jokes with, don't want to laugh alone
I'll rinse you in my laughter, we'll both smile together
Where did that smile go baby where did it gooooo
The sun shines through my eyes I'll look at you
You can feel it too

Times in my soul when I feel low, no one can help me
Words I need evade me, you always hear me cry
Your love inside of me you know what I'm feeling
I need you, yes I do. Save me

Save me, save me
Cos I want to climb much higher
So I can see
I need saving like a mother saves her child
Like a brother going wild
Can you hear me, can you hear me? Save me

Is it only when things go wrong, then I call your name
I feel bad inside, I try to hide, you always know where I am
Watching over me, shielding me. You know what I'm feeling
I need you, yes I do. Save me

Why do I doubt you? Forgive me Lord
Can't do without you I live by your word
No one stands near to you
I shouldn't doubt you, forgive me Lord
Can't do without you I live by your word, 
no one stands near to you

Ooh oooh, oooh oooh
Mm mmm mmm mmm 

Save, save, save, save me

When your mother starts to scold you
She says it's cos I love you
Momma please don't cry
But it don't make matters better
When you resemble you father and you learn
That the alimonies run dry

Momma please don't cry
You know you'd never ask me why
I'll wipe the tears that flow from your eyes
And hold you like you're used to hold me

So she smiles but is she happy
She smiles but she ain't happy
Sadness still glistens in her eyes
When she thinks of that man who
She gave most of her life to
In her heart she feels like she would die

So you try to console her, she sees her baby's growing older
One day you'll rise up and take your leave
Then she'll stand by the window, looking pale as a shadow
Words of love faintly echo in her ear
