@ALBUM: city.angels Author: Jon Anderson Album title: In The City Of Angels @SONG: Hold On To Love There you have it You see this love regretting There's something wrong again But you had it In the palm of your hand Your heart has started bleeding You gotta get out You're leaving You're on your own forever It's not the space or time or whether You can leave You want You can't have You need You can't touch You plead It's enough, enough There's something happening to ya Love can see right through ya In a world of make believe Don't go throwing it all away Hold on to love Hold on to love Treat it as a good thing Be always ready With that electric feeling You work so hard To be in love with her She tries so hard You gotta let it go Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on The more and more you hear it The more it seems to make sense To hold love in the palm of your hand But you think that round the corner They're queuing up to hold her But that won't make a difference in the end There's not the space or time or whether You can leave You want You can't have You need You can't touch You plead It's enough, enough There's something happening to ya Love can see right through ya In a world of make believe Don't go throwing it all away Hold on to love There's nothing more important Treat it as a good thing Be always ready With that electric feeling You work so hard To be in love with her She tries so hard You gotta let it go Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on - Solo - You work so hard To be in love with her She tries so hard You gotta let it go Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on Hold on to love There's nothing more important Hold on to love Don't let it pass you by Hold on to love There's nothing so important Hold it in the palm of your hand Yeah, yeah Hold on to love There's nothing more important Hold on to love Don't ever let it pass you by Hold on to love Hold on to love Treat it as a good thing Treat it as a good thing Treat it as a good, good thing @SONG: If It Wasn't For Love (Oneness Family) If it wasn't for love The moon would disappear The seas would crash into the land The sun would not appear And tears would dry up in the sand If it wasn't for love If it wasn't for love The children of the sun They would all but melt away Believe me that would be An unnecessary day - oh my If it wasn't for love If it wasn't for love I'd still be all alone And completely in the dark No friends would help me through the night No singing in the park - oh my If it wasn't for love All we need is the truth in our hand Someone to call a friend Never fear the darkness All we need is just the sun in the sky And the hope of a summer to come With the meaning of love If it wasn't for love Well how do you expect A woman to need a man They'd dry up all inside As if life has never begun If it wasn't for love If it wasn't for love The world would disappear And we would fly off to the sky The hatred and the sorrow would be Showing in our eyes - oh my If it wasn't for love When the moment of truth comes alive How we'll rejoice and sing the blues away There's no telling just how we will feel So important is that very day We'll imagine a change in our heart Sometimes it's hard to explain the truth But we'll see and will know There's no doubt about it The meaning of love - Solo - If it wasn't for love The moon would disappear The seas would crash into the land The sun would not appear And tears would dry up in the sand If it wasn't for love If it wasn't for love The children of the sun They would all but melt away Believe me that would be An unnecessary day - oh my If it wasn't for love Oh my - if it wasn't for love Oh my - if it wasn't for love Oh my - if it wasn't for love @SONG: Sundancing (For The Hopi/Navajo Energy) I, he said, release hold it there Cannot hold it down at all anymore I begot a singer of song How it looked to find this destiny there I, he said, release to the laws As he set to find the answer to give How he chased so far for the laws They would change his whole perception to live See the sun can dance to the sky So he walked to path a mountain to climb With a song he walked right up to the sky There amazed he saw as clear as the day Getting into tune we shout at the system How we play this man-made dream of the fear How we play this man-made dream of desire How we dance awake this song of the earth - Come along The four new laws will enter the world Add a new dimension changing it all One new law we travel so fast Number two will be the salt of the earth Number three will be our guide to the stars Number four will be the witness to love As the four new laws will enter the world As the four new laws will enter the world Come alive the singers out of the sun Come alive the dancers out of the moon Come alive the passion all to the great We can dance the sundance all of the way Can you dance the dream awake in your life As he said, release can't hold any longer Only wanted too Ever wanted too Getting ready too Always wanted too As it ever is As it ever will As it ever can As it ever is Get, get, get, get, get, get what you need - Solo - See the four new laws will enter the world See the four new laws will enter the world See the four new laws will enter the world See the four new laws will enter the world @SONG: Is It Me Is it something Is it something said I know you're lost Like someone who's lonely And cannot see the way I still love you There's some things that bind And so the tale is just a moral of love It comes and it goes with time Don't think about the worries My love will change you Someday you'll find room In your heart for my love again Is it me Is it me that Hurt you so badly Are you ready Are you changed for this Because I know that it's not always going The way you see Things don't easily change Those facts of love That come with the moment Just memories remain Don't think about your worries My love will change you And open up this feeling of love In your heart again Was it me Was it me that Hurt you so badly Are you ready Are you changed for this I couldn't stand another day without you Is it love Is it this love Are you ready to be counting I'm your lover I'm your everything And you won't always be telling me It's all over - Solo - Was it me It's another world Was it me that It's another time Hurt you so badly I can't believe in love without you Are you ready It's another day Are you changed at all It's another place I couldn't stand another day without you I can't believe in love without you I'm in love It's another world I'm in this love It's another time It's not easy when I feel so strong about you I can't believe in love without you There's no other It's another day There's no one but you It's another time I couldn't stand another day without your love I can't believe in love without you @SONG: In A Lifetime You never realize How you throw your love away You never know how much it hurts Living without love I was the one Who wandered on my own Looking for some familiar road I was a diamond man at night I was a fool that couldn't believe at all Then I met you once again And you showed me you can't give Until you're strong enough to love How could I begin With no foundation in my heart And it wasn't until I saw My life in your eyes At last I've found true love Without someone to love, without someone There's no reason to live At last I've found true love In a lifetime It's never the same When your dreams have gone away A day seems like a year When your love has disappeared I'm suddenly more aware of you N' all the things that I've got to do I'm yours forever and you're mine And I just don't want to waste another Day of time At last I've found true love Without someone to love, without someone There's no reason to live At last I've found true love In a lifetime There was a time, there was a time I got caught in the middle Of the darkest night - suddenly Suddenly I could feel A power so divine Oh don't you ever deny my heart And all the things love stands for 'Cos there's no way I could ever find a love so right Not in any other lifetime I believe this love's so right At last I've found true love Without someone to love, without someone There's no reason to live At last I've found true love True love True love In a lifetime In a lifetime At last I've found true love Without someone to love There's no reason at all @SONG: For You Tell me that I would sing Soft as a song would bring All of a union together in my life Tell me I'm everyone As where my heart is searching Now is finally resting again Oh, for the perfect sound Jon, Jon, for my life As it's something that I must Explain this and all to you Haven't you guessed it Haven't you guessed it at all This song is for you This song is for you -
