(Uh 1, 2, 3, 4) There is a fine line, between recklessness and courageIt's about time you understood which road to takeIt's a fine line, your decision makes a differenceGet it wrong, you'll be making a big mistake Come home brother, all is forgivenWe all cried when you were driven awayCome home brother, everything is betterEverything is better when you come home to stay Whatever's more important to youYou've got to choose what you wanna doWhatever's more important to beThat's the view that you've gotta see There is a long way between chaos and creationIf you don't say which one of these you're gonna chooseIt's a long way and if every contradictionSeems the same, it's a game that you're bound to lose Come home brother, all is forgivenWe all cried when you were driven awayCome home brother, everything is betterEverything is better when you come home to stay Come on backCome on backCome on back to me It's a fine lineIt's a fine line (It's a fine line) Whatever's more important to you(It's a fine line) You've got to choose what you wanna do(It's a fine line) Whatever's more important to beWell that's the view that you've gotta see It's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine lineIt's a fine line

How kind of you to think of meWhen I was out of sortsIt really meant a lot to beIn someone else's thoughtsSomeone else's mindSomeone else as kind as you The thoughtfulness you showed has madeA difference in my lifeI won't forget how unafraidYou were that long dark night I thought that all was lostI thought I'd never findA someone quite as kind as you I thought my faith had goneI thought there couldn't beA someone who was there for me How kind of you to stick by meDuring the final boutAnd listen to the refereeAs I was counted out I thought my time was upI thought I'd never findA someone quite as kind as you I thought my faith had goneI thought there couldn't beA someone who was there for me How kind of you to think of meHow kind of you

Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could singBut a broken heart took her song away Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wingShe could see the world and its foolish ways How we spend our days, casting love asideLosing sight of life, day by day She saw poverty breaking up her homeWounded warriors took her song away But the day will come, Jenny Wren will singWhen this broken world mends its foolish ways Then we'll spend our days catching up on lifeAll because of you, Jenny WrenYou saw who we are, Jenny Wren

At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy roadWho can handle such a heavy load? At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy dayWe can think of nothing more to say If you show me love, I won't refuseI know you'd never make me chooseBetween the love I've got and the love I'd lose Sometimes I'd rather run and hideThen stay and face the fear inside At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy dayWho can bear to turn their head away? At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy roadWe can watch the universe explode If you take me up, I won't say noI guess you'd rather see me growInto a better man than the one you know Sometimes my head is hanging lowIt's time to get on with the show At the mercy, at the mercyAt the mercy of a busy dayI can think of nothing more to say

Laugh when your eyes are burningSmile when your heart is filled with painSigh as you brush away your sorrowMake a vow that's it's not going to happen again It's not rightIn one lifeToo much rain You know the wheels keep turningWhy do the tears run down your face?We used to hide away our feelingsBut for now, tell yourself it won't happen again It's not rightIn one lifeToo much rain It's too much for anyoneToo hard for anyoneWho wants a happy and peaceful life?You've gotta learn to laugh Smile when you're spinning round and roundSigh as you think about tomorrowMake a vow that you're gonna be happy again It's all rightIn your lifeNo more rain It's too much for anyoneToo hard for anyoneWho wants a happy and peaceful life?You've gotta learn to laugh

I bit my tongueI never talked too muchI tried to be so strongI did my bestI used the gentle touchI've done it for so long You put me downBut I can laugh it offAnd act like nothing's wrongBut why pretend?I think I've heard enoughOf your familiar song I tell you what I'm gonna doI'll try to take my mind off youAnd now that you don't need my helpI'll use the time to think about myself You're not awareOf what you put me throughBut now the feeling's goneBut I don't mindDo what you have to doYou don't fool anyone I'll tell you what I'm gonna doI'll take a different point of viewAnd now that you don't need my helpI'll use the time to think about myself The definition of friendshipApparently ought to beShowing support for the one that you loveAnd I was open to friendshipBut you didn't seem to have any to spareWhile you were riding to Vanity Fair There was a timeWhen every day was youngThe sun would always shineWe sang alongWhen all the songs were sungBelieving every line That's the trouble with friendshipFor someone to feel itIt has to be real or it wouldn't be rightAnd I keep hoping for friendshipBut I wouldn't dare to presume it was thereWhile you were riding to Vanity Fair While you were riding to Vanity FairWhile you were riding to Vanity FairWhile you were riding to Vanity Fair
