Pride Of Man (4:05) Hamilton Camp
Turn around, go back down, back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around, go back down, back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around, go back down, back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For theose who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be repayed,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
Turn around, go back down, back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make a new pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people.
Light Your Windows (2:36) Duncan / Freiberg
Hold on girl, now don't be blue, dry those tears for me and you,
Can't you see our love is true, when you remember,
To do just what you say you'll do, can't you see I live for you,
And I need you to trust me too, open your eyes,
So the sun can shine lights in you, will light on your windows,
And change all your baby blues to golden sparks that light your eyes,
When you finally realize that your fears were all just lies,
So open those eyes and let the sun shine lights in you,
Light on your windows and take all your baby blues.
Dino's Song (3:03) Valenti
I don't ever want to see you crying,
And I don't ever want to see you blue,
oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry
For anything you've ever said or done,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
And maybe hope you could love me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,
Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you,
There may be hope you could know me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,
Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
There may be hope you could love me too.
Gold And Silver (6:40) Duncan / S. Schuster
It's Been Too Long (?) N Gravenites
I'll stay a while, but I won't stay long.
I'll stay a while, but I won't stay long.
No I won't, it's been too long since I've been next to my lover,
I sure had fun, but now I'm thinking you're here,
'Cause I recall in the letter I read,
It's been too long since I've been next to my lover, hey hey hey hey,
Evening driving wheel will come to rest some time.
Evening driving wheel will come to rest some time.
It's been too long since I've been next to my lover, o woh woh woh yeah,
It's been too long since I've been next to my lover, o woh woh woh yeah,
It's been too long
The Fool (12:03) Duncan / Freiberg
Can you hear it in the morning, it sings the golden song,
I saw his moving ever on the run, from and to the sound of one
Turning in, turning out, spirals high, never down,
Wonder, wonder wanders, loving, loving lovers,
Freefall, tumbling walls, one world, one one truth,
If if it's above___ life is low, life is slow,
Love is life, it's love, love.
