There's a stillness in timeWhich I cannot defineDoes your heart bleed like mine all the time yeahFor a place we can goWhere the troubles of our time are far away Hey they are so far awayAnd I had all my life in front of meNow my darkness days are trouble freeThere are so many wonderous things for you to see If you find that somethings going wrongLook around at what your running fromYou can wait a thousand years in lineFor that stillness in time I found love in that wayAnd I'm never sad, and I'm always gladAnything you give me todayOh yeah I will will be thankful forPeople find it hard to be strongCause they don't know where they're coming from Ooh there was nothing left to do but hang onFor that stillness in time There's a stillness in timeSearch the space inside my mind If this world is turning too fast for your headJust remember how bad times can roll insteadGuess I'll have to search the space in my mindFor that stillness in time. Oh yeah I found love in that wayAnd I'm never sad, and I'm always gladOoh yeah anything you give me todayOh yeah I will be thankful forPeople find it hard to be strongCause they don't know where they're coming fromHey, there was nothing left to do but hang onFor that stillness in time. I know that this is the peripheral side of blissThere is no me, for the love I have will stay the sameI have been wrong if I don't know where I'm coming fromIf I don't see the things that are inside of meApart of me, in front of meOh, see it's all around me Said I know, said I want to find that stillness in timeStillness in time Hey la, la, la, la, la, lo (repeat until end)

People tell me I'm no good Cos I'm expressin' all my sentiments Now I got to channel all my vehemence For the benefit of my self defence And you can be a do gooder But true sincerity ain't charity It can take a life time to be How you wanna be. You can be light years Away from serious intention And I thought I knew it all Someday I'd get to turn mankind This way If you don't know you can be light years Away from your true destination. No conscious escalation Until I get with good vibration I'm never gonna get to use that use that earthly power Substitutes Can never take the place of peace of mind Losing all sense of direction. When you're light years. Too far away to turn you back on substitution There is no u-turn on a one way route Goin' up when I learn to love the life I can bite the fruit Now I got sunshine in my life. Light years Never to return to Babylon See money don't make a man But if you really want you get there anyway you can.

Four hundred years or more Since you came to crucify They were taken far away from homeThere were promises of paradise But if they have been told that day They would be told that this way To satisfy the souls of chosen men See I had to look carefully At the shame of my ancestry To re-define the story line again If I was taken for a day And shown another wayEvery child can learn a different thing See i tried a million timesbut i had to change my mindSadness was the best thing I could bringOn the inside he was dead and this is what he said As he took away the blue above the cloudsSuperiority was clearly meant to be So destiny will manifest in time So where was the love all gone A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale Of how I was put down where I don't belong Woman, child and man for sale For ethnical slavery is just an absurdity How can you be alive when you are dead With these chains of hypocrisy The shame of my ancestry Forever stained by blood in which you tread (repeat chorus)

Now we're getting nasty. Everybody's talking about the kids The kids got funky soul and groove emotion But if you don't give the kids the chance to use it They're always morethan likely to abuse it Everybody's talking about the kids It's taking time for you to realise Now hunger turns to anger in our eyes I say the revolution will be televised Yes it will, Gil Everybody's talking about the kids The kids needs space to get their heads in place And every day this world we have to face I just can't seem to find my proper place. Kids get down Stormy weather Fifteen years of royal pleasure Kids get down underground Everybody dance to the funky sound. Everybody's talking about the kids It won't be long before we get our own And every kid can truly feel at home I told ya you should give the dog a bone Everybody's talking about school But I get more pleasure breakin' all the rules Cos lesson one begins with "Life Is Cruel" Well I guess I'm just an educated fool Everybody's talking about the kids Mom and Dad make efforts to excuse it Government officials will confuse it Members of the bench will try to prove it You're going down sucker. Everybody's talking about the kids now Everybody's talking about the kids now The kids got funky soul. Kids get down Stormy weather Fifteen years of royal pleasure Kids get down, celebrate Now we're going to kick the thing we hate Everybody's talking about high But kids get high to satisfy For reaching out to touch the sky Is all I can identify, and you know why. Kids get down Stormy weather Fifteen years of royal pleasure Kids get down, celebrate Now we're gonna kick the thing we hate Kids get down, pressurized To live the life that you devised Kids get, celebrate Life's too short to complicate.

Have you gone astray ?Or lost your way ?You should have seen me yesterdayWell I knew this kind of loveWas written in the starsIt's only once or twice that you're in line with Mr MoonThen it was youTook me on your cloudGive me flowers for my painBut with some degree of certaintyMy destinySeemed to slip away from meBefore I got to know your name. Just give me a chanceI'll do what you want me toEverybody wants to danceSo how come I can't dance with youYou really turn me onYou're the one that makes me smileIt's Mr Moon who plays in tune, Mr Moon who knowsAnd if it's Mr Moon who gives the sign then that's the sign that goesI never know what to doTill I'm there with you. Did you lose your mindFor a dayYou don't remember anywayLike the waters of a dreamEncapsulate my mindA place I haven't seen sits at the end of space and timeSo lost in timeThen I think I'm blindTo perchance upon this circumstance is something of a miracleSo spiritualIt's verging on the physicalSearching for a love I cannot find.

You say you fight to give us freedomBut often more than not this is abusedAnd the faces of a tired generationhave decided they are sick of being usedfor the purpose of current declarationsStill the same, it'll never change until the endIs to buy appreciation of the nationTo cover the mistakes you must defendAnd you say there'll be a chance for evryoneto proptest against your calculated greedBut I can see into the futureWon't be long before the welfareSend me letters telling me how much they needAnd it's not been in my interest to please themFor the only interest rate to fall is mineSee a brand new generation in demandingWhat you've been doing with out money all this time ScamPeople try living life at speed of lightScamDon't know why but I have to do the things I doScamGive me ten, that's the move I give you fiveScamPeople say it's the way to stay alive So you see you have to be a schemerIf you wanna love the life you have to liveAnd it don't matter how much I earn'Cos I always get my fingers burnedWhen the man gets down to his businessAnd I've been searching for a reasonWhy I have to give it all up just when I want to get aheadSee I had to lose car, job, wife, dog and homeDebts and threats on the telephoneMaybe I should bust a move insteadNow we all know when we watch the televisionNot confused between a puppet or convictionGlued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of widsomIt ain't what it seems when it's a single sided systemSomeone's got a hold on my livingSo I'm gonna have to do the things that's fairThey got to justify for what I should be givingShould I lie, should I steal or should I care'Cos now I've got to scam

All of my visions were untrueTill I had a vision of youAn untimely end for allBut it was only then, only then that I sawSaw the morning glory Can't you take me thereCan't you take me thereAway from soliloquies of sadnessAnd prophecies of painFor us all to see I had a vision in my mindI had a vision of peaceI had a vision of you
