If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears
If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side
If we only have love
Love that's falling like rain
Then the parched desert earth
Will grow green again
If we only have love
For the hymn that we shout
For the song that we sing
Then we'll have a way out
If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
We can use our own names
If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give the new world
To our daughters and sons
If we only have love
Then Jerusalem stands
And then death has no shadow
There are no foreign lands
If we only have love
We will never bow down
We'll be tall as the pines
Neither heroes nor clowns
If we only have love
Then we'll only be men
And we'll drink from the Grail
To be born once again
Then with nothing at all
But the little we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun and the stars
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn
If we only have love
To embrace without fears
We will kiss with our eyes
We will sleep without tears
If we only have love
With our arms open wide
Then the young and the old
Will stand at our side
If we only have love

Voices all across the nation
Echo in my mind
In the streets
In the factories
In the towns
Living out what imagination made real
Got to leave the old world behind
Use a fantasy
Imagination is real
I'm so much in love
I can't explain
Imaginations real
Build your dreams
And make them strong
Imaginations real

Hatred
Fear of what's to come
Don't cry
Can't you feel it inside
Can't you see it's the only way it can be
For our past has left us alone
With a cold reality
Imagination made real
If you use a dream
To change a mind

In my father's house are many mansions
If it were not true he would have told me so
He has gone away to live in that bright city
He's preparing me a mansion there I know
Jesus died upon the cross to bear my sorrow
Freely died that souls like you might have new life
But I know that soon there'll come a bright tomorrow
When the world will all be free from sin and strife
Do not shun the saviors love, from up in glory
Or you won't be there to sing the gospel story
In my father's house are many mansions
If you're true then to this land you'll surely go.
If it were not true he would have told me so
He has gone away to live in that bright city

You know people been talking about the end of time, ever since time began
We've been living in the last days, ever since the first day, ever since the dawn of Man
Well nobody knows when the end is coming, but some people tell you they do
Well it might be today, it might be tomorrow, or in a million years or two
In the meantime, in between time, let us make time, to make it right
And let us not fear what is not clear Faith should be your guide, just follow this advice
And!
Think about love, think about living
Think about love, sharing and giving
Drop this Doomsday attitude, let the spirit flow
These are wonderful times we're living in
God still walks in the hearts of Men
And Eden's garden waits within so let the flowers grow
Well we rant and we rave about the "good ol' days" and how different it was "back then"
Well the greatest days we've ever known, are the days we're living in
Well we worry about earthquakes, aliens from outer space, nuclear holocaust
Well we're so consumed with the fear of dying; the joy of living is lost
In the meantime, in between time, let us make time, to make amends
Live the good life, just treat this planet right, and try to all be friends and say with me again
Ohhh...!
Think about life, think about living
Think about love, caring and giving
Drop this Doomsday attitude, and get on with the show
We've walked on the moon, been to Mars
Technically we've come so far
But still we wonder who we are
The farther along we go
(Doodle-doodle doo-doo-doo...ooh-ooh)
You know people been talking about the end of time, ever since time began
We've been living in the last days, ever since the first day, ever since the dawn of Man
Well nobody knows when the end is coming, well that's what the Scriptures say
But that's a secret known only to God, He says to just watch and pray
In the meantime, what's the hurry?
In the meantime, now don't you worry
In the meantime, live, laugh, be merry
In the meantime, in the meantime
In the meantime, troubles gonna show us
In the meantime, the sky is still above us
In the meantime, you know God's gonna love us
In the meantime, in the meantime, in the meantime

Is this the only way
For the wheel keeps turning
Is there no other way
Ooh, my heart is yearning
There is hope in your eyes
And all the people say
You're a star
And you're playing the part
But how long do you think it will last
I know you, you're not so innocent
No way out
Well not by your intellect
Who are you
With no time to resurrect
Who are you
You say you're the president
I can't wait any longer
Ooh, my love's getting stronger
Ooh
Why do we need you so
Is there no other way
To lead our children home
There is a light that shines on you
You're in a hole and I'm in it too
Is this the only way
For the wheel keeps turning
Is there no other way
Ooh, my heart is yearning
AII your world's a disguise
For big business deals, oil bribes
Clever men, but where are the wise
Cause in reality, freedom lies
Who are you, smug in your intellect
Dishing out old fashioned politics
Money, war, solves everything it seems
Nothin' new, same as it's ever been

But for the grace of God it could be you instead of him

Lift up the fallin' ones and be a friend (be a friend)

Well a man walked down by Galilee
So the Holy Book does say
And a great multitude was gathered there
Without a thing to eat for days
Up stepped a little boy with a basket
Please take this Lord he said
And with just a five loaves and two little fishes
Five thousand had fish and bread
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
Now pay close attention little children
It's somebody you oughta know
You know it's all about a man that walked on earth
Nearly two thousand years ago
Well he healed the sick and afflicted
And he raised 'em from the dead
Then they nailed him on an ol' rugged cross
And put thorns on his head
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)
It was Jesus Christ our Lord
Well they took him down and they buried him
And after the third day
When they came to his tomb well they knew he was gone
Cause the stone was rolled away
He's not here for he is risen
The angel of the Lord then said
And when they saw him walkin' with his nail-scared hands
They knew he came back from the dead
Who was it ev'rybody (it was Jesus)

They want your mind and your body
But they don't understand
And don't care much about it
Gotta work for your country
Society's built on concrete and money
If this room was to vanish
And the toys of man turned to civilized dust
There'd still be you and me, honey

Build those highways, build those cars
On a planet full of scrap metal
There'd better be life on Mars

Je ne pourrai m'en detacher
Je voudrais tant avoir raison
De la garder dans ma maison
J'etais seul, seul devant la vie
Mais je l'aime celle que j'ai choisie
Je defendrai mon Amour
Jusqu'a la fin de mes jours
Je me demande jour et nuit
Si tout ce qui m'arrive
C'est ma chance de revivre
Et de refaire ma vie
Mais je crois bien avoir trouve
Le grand Amour et le vrai bonheur
Je ne peux pas m'etre trompe
Je ne veux plus d'un autre coeur
Mais oui j'espere avoir enfin
Trouve l'Amour sur mon chemin
J'etais seul, seul devant la vie
Mais je l'aime celle que j'ai choisie
Je defendrai mon Amour
Jusqu'a la fin de mes jours
Mais oui je defendrai mon Amour

John Daniel came to town one summer afternoon
Wearin' dirty work clothes so everyone presumed
He was just another logger from the loggin' camp nearby
And he was, but there was somethin' different in John Daniel's eyes
John Daniel was a young man, not more than twenty-four
And there was an air about him that one could not ignore
And in spite of callused hands & dirty clothes, his face was kind
And I wanted so to know what was in John Daniel's mind
John Daniel, tell me where did you come from, tell me where is it you've been?
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men?
John Daniel, there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?
I rented him a room, he went upstairs like all the rest
It was Saturday and he'd be goin' in to town, I guessed
But he left in a robe and sandals, with a Bible in his hand;
And I thought to myself, John Daniel, I don't understand
Now I'd planned to meet some friends of mine when I got off at three,
In the park we often gather to talk of love and peace
When I got there I found that a crowd had gathered 'round
And there I saw John Daniel a sittin' on the ground
John Daniel, tell me where did you come from, tell me where is it you've been?
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men?
John Daniel, there's somethin' about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?
So, "You want to be free," he said, "Well, this is how you can."
As he read from the Bible he held in his hand
We were searchin' for the truth not knowin' where to look,
Not knowin' that the answers all were in John Daniel's book
John Daniel told us all how we could be free
John Daniel taught us all a better way for you and me
He came to us in our own way so we'd be sure to see
He had the light and essence of the man from Galilee
John Daniel, tell me where did you come from, tell me where is it you've been?
John Daniel, tell me why are you different from all of these other men?
John Daniel, there's something about you that I don't quite understand
John Daniel, do you hold the answer to a higher plan?

[Spoken:]
Just like Mr. Greeley suggested
Back in the 1860s many young men went west
But they went with their pistols cocked
It seemed the only way to escape the horrors of war
But sometimes the horrors
Were even worst then the west
Back on the front, the losers
Johnny Reb they called him, fought all the way
[Song:]
Okay Johnny Reb, you can sound down the flag now
It's all over
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I saw you a marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
And even though you lost they speak highly of your name
You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
Saw the young boys when they began to fall
There were tears in your eyes but you couldn't help at all
You fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
I saw General Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red
When the smoke cleared away it took days to count the dead
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
And when President Lincoln heard the news of your fall
Everyone said there'd be a victory ball
But he asked the band if they would play "Dixie"
For you Johnny Reb and for what you believed
Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Good morning sister Mary
Good morning brother John
Well I wanna stop and talk with you
Wanna tell you how I come along
I know you've heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried
'Cause the battle is in my hands
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your king of Saul
There none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho
They tell me, great God that Joshua’s spear
Was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn
Yet bold and brave he stood
Salvation in his hand
Go blow them ram horns Joshua cried
'Cause the devil can't do you no harm
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried
'Cause the battle is in my hands
Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted glory
And the walls came tumblin' down
God knows that
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumbling down
Down, down, down, down, down
Tumblin' down
