All the things we've done
Shape the lucky one
Creates-a picture sun
Forerun
Racing down the past
Future coming fast
No time to look round
Fades-to gas
Little girl of mine
Wears a simple sign
Vanished over time
Little girl of mine
Where has your time gone?
Out the door and on.
I've lost sight of what we've seen
Now that love and war have been
I look for our dearest dream
Now that life has shattered at the seam
You thought the world real
Instead you found ideal
Shaped to your surreal
Go steal
You never found the key
So you’ll always be
Without the things you need
Indeed
Little girl of mine
Wears a simple sign
Vanished over time
Little girl of mine
Where has your time gone?
Out the door and on.
I've lost sight of what we've seen
Now that love and war have been
I look for our dearest dream
Now that life has shattered at the seam

I’d love to say good bye and never meet again
Until I die I think I’m done with you forever, now and then I hear your name
I get a feeling that you’re taking me apart
I’m sick and tired of all the waiting and the shadows and the dark
Ahh…
Cripple the wing without saying anything
Ahh…
Breaking the bones and beginning to sing
You got it all
You got anvil in your heart
When you fall
You can say I fell apart
You got it all
You got anvil in your heart
When you fall
You can say I fell apart
I’m going to a country far away from yours
And when I settle down I’ll think about the distance between us, and then I’ll laugh
Because the wind that blows, and flowers that do grow
Will have a turn to live again in harmony without your aching pain
Ahh…
Cry to yourself if your going to complain
Ahh…
My what a talent you have for disdain
You got it all
You got anvil in your heart
When you fall
You can say I fell apart
You got it all
You got anvil in your heart
When you fall
You can say I fell apart

You think you’ve got me on my knees
You think you know it all
You think you'll show me where to go
You don't know where I'll fall
I knew I'd never see you round
Now that was most if it
You went to prison in a ball
You knew not where to sit
I'm a singer
But don’t you take me for real
Politician
And now you take me for real
You saw me one time but you
Never thought I'd put you away
Young people got me
Wracking up my brains every day
I'm a singer
But don’t you take me for real
Politician
And now you take me for real
Five runners couldn’t
Pull your horses away
Young flowers got me
Beating up my bones anyway
I'm a singer
But don’t you take me for real
Politician
And now you take me for real
I'm a singer
Don’t you take me for real
Politician

I’ll give you time to think about my mind
You’re gonna lose yourself you’re on a fine line
Standing around in the rain and the clouds
You’re like a ten year lady gotta figure it out
If you open your eyes to the dirt and the sand
To the dogs who come running at your command
You got drips coming down, hips to get ‘em up
The sweat getting sticky, the skin to blow up
Yeah!
I’ve got to tell you what you need to know (Couldn’t love you anyway)
You’ve got to listen to me now (I couldn’t love you anyway)
Your beauty fires up inside me but (Couldn’t love you anyway)
I’ve got to tell you how it is, I couldn’t love you anyway!
The way you move the way you make me feel
Got all my money on a kiss to seal
And the time it never comes, time that you see
5 or 6 people here talking to me
You’re so pretty with your hair up high
And your sweet red lips with a touch of shy
Baby so fine at the end of the line
And every boy walks in says “If only she was mine!”
I’ve got to tell you what you need to know (Couldn’t love you anyway)
You’ve got to listen to me now (I couldn’t love you anyway)
Your beauty fires up inside me but (Couldn’t love you anyway)
I’ve got to tell you how it is, I couldn’t love you anyway!

OVERTURE
INTRO: I REMEMBER
I walked through a field, the colors around brought thoughts of beauty.
Times had changed, I remembered, voices, so many voices the spirit was raw and torn, stretched thin from the constant pull of a thousand hands.
As the summer sky turned to autumn and the colors of my heart were changed I felt.
Heavy.
I remember.
Not the light memories of my youth, but the weight, wait.
The crushing weight that was upon my shoulders, that strengthened my resolve.
Cold.
My back is broken, the wrists are red and my feet have grown callous, the snake winds around my ankles.
No longer am I what I am, I am what I've become. Stronger, my wrists are healed through You, my ankles bear their scars. My hands are strong but soft as if with wisdom.
I feel the grass, I remember.
PART 1: THE PAST
Gazing into the past, gone so fast
You've lost your independence away
So long ago the mold was cast
Without anything to say
No honest thought left today
Goodbye soul
PART 2: MIND DESIGNS
Where I stand isn't known to me
But where I walk I am free
The places I've been
Are lost to sea
But still remain in my memory
I
Design
Castles deep in my mind
I
Resign
To break apart and redefine
Where have they gone, my gentle friend
What are these scars on hands that once steel
could bend
How was it lost, all things must end
Have you forsaken me, your spirit is mine to mend
I
Design
Castles deep in my mind
I
Resign
To break apart and redefine
PART 3: THE STRUGGLE
PART 4: RETROSPECTION
You'll calculate to reevaluate
Look out and disassociate
You'll seek yourself through others eyes
Just to keep your own disguise
PART 5: LOSING FAITH
Now that you've made up your mind
You can find someone else to share
They'll share with you their truth
And now you've lost your way
How many times can fate provide?
An astral door through which to hide
The longest night is closing in
The single thing you ever had
The single thing you ever had
Is gone.
PART 6: FRACTURED ADOLESCENCE
You'll calculate to reevaluate
Look out and disassociate
You'll seek yourself through others eyes
Just to keep your own disguise
Great divide, couldn't hide
Look outside, the place where you reside
Now resign, and recline inside
Sheltered mind
You always seek assimilation
To help avoid humiliation
Your images are made of clay
To shape but never long to stay
Great divide, couldn't hide
Look outside, the place where you reside
Now resign, and recline inside
Sheltered mind
CONCLUSION: THE COVENANT
I will walk with you
For through you all things can I achieve
I will not rest or want
I will be for you and thus for myself
I will not be for anyone else
I will strive for this
