Blessing In Disguise

Praying for a miracle
Daylight had begun
He saw a woman dancing
Dancing in the sun

Her silhouetted body
A jewel in the sky
Became his only reason
His reason to survive

Chorus:

The colours of the casbah
The laughter in the streets
Is this where her flame lives
And what he seeks
Even though he feels it
He knows he's never seen
The flame that's eternal
And never dies - never dies

He'd never known this feeling
A perfect work of art
Passion and the loving
Of a newly opened heart

She became the miracle
As the night drew near
Whispering a love song
That only angels hear

Repeat chorus two times

We spend our nights in shared dreams
Wrapped in a jade green mist
Our hearts running wild, as the spirit is free
Nothing compares to this
Can you picture this a beauty unexplained
All the stories every told revealing

Chorus i:

After the ocean is gone
Where do we go what do we do
Can we carry on in a world without love
Can i carry on in a world without you

Oooh

A message came to us all
Across a moonlit sky
A love flowing endlessly
Soft as a virgin sigh
Can you picture this, a beauty unexplained
All the stories ever told revealing

Chorus i

Chorus ii:

After the oceans are gone
What will we do where will we be
Will we carry on in a world without blue
Will you carry on in a world without me
Oooh, oooh

Bring your out-thereness in here
In here, in here.

Don't be afraid to be yourself
Love and light will wash away your tears
In here

We are all stars in the night
Fish in the mountain stream
No reason to cry
Nothing is as it seems
Can you picture this, a beauty unexplained
All the stories ever told revealing

Chorus i

Repeat chrous ii two times

Why must i wait for the morning sun to rise
That maybe then i can rest my eyes
So i won't think of you and our used-to-be's
Cause i can't turn the night
No i can't turn the night
Oh, i can't turn the night off

I watch the ceiling dance thru my midnight eyes
A screen on which i fantasize
All of our yesterdays and our used-to-be's
Oh, i can't turn the night
No i can't turn the night
Oh, i can't turn the night off

If only you and i were together now
We'd make it somehow
We were so young before; we didn't realize
You can't take back the goodbyes

And so i wait for the morning sun to rise
That maybe then i can close my eyes
So i won't look at you and our used-to-be's
And i can't turn the night
No, i can't turn the night
Oh, i can't turn the night off

A touch upon my forehead
A kiss so soft and warm
A smile that faded in the night
That never meant me harm
He lives inside a special place
That's deep inside of me
Sheltered by my feelings
That no one else will see

Chorus:

A whisper from marseilles
A whisper from a friend
That drifts along an empty shore
His love he tries to send

Imagining an ocean
Riding on the waves
Things we used to talk about
The things we used to crave
No footsteps left behind him
Or voice that can be heard
No questions left to ask now
Love was the final word

Chorus

All things living, moving, breathing
All we want to see
All things living, moving breathing
All we'll ever be

Chorus

Sung to sleep
By a distant lullaby
Filtered through raindrops and leaves.
Suddenly he's aware, this is no dream
Is this real
What's happening
For some nights now
I thought he lived in my dreams
But i hear him somewhere outside

Chorus:

Tempted and bewildered
Standing spellbound
All the crazy questions
Circling around
From my secret place
Somewhere in these magic trees
I can see his spirit clearly

In the midst
Of a thrash of rainy boughs
Still the song rides on the wind
Such a luminous sound.
He tried to trace
But it seems to come from all directions
Hidden miracles
Dancing just beyond our grasp
Will they ever be revealed

Tempted and bewildered
Standing spellbound
All the crazy questions
Circling around

Chorus

Hearing the wind blowing over the hill
Over the mountains so tall and so still
Down through the forests they're
Walkng alone
Walking alone
Out on the corners and out in the streets
This is their home now there's nothing to eat
These are the children longing to play
Maybe today will be the day

Chorus:

Children being brave
A symbol of the age
Touching people far away
Children kneel and pray
Children long to play
Some will find a way
To escape this living hell
Now only time will tell

Down from the village and into the town
Leaving their brothers and sisters behind
Innocent voices that cry in the night
Cry in the night
What did they do to deserve all this pain
Most of them won't see their mothers again
Taken from childhood they'll never return
Crying inside a silent pain

Chorus

So small so weak
They rarely speak
The days go by
They wonder why
Will someone help
Take them away
Their hearts just break
On each new day

Up in the morning they never do sleep
Looking so helpless with nothing to keep
People walk past them not facing the truth
Facing the truth
Dirt on their faces and dust in their eyes
Life passes them - not even a smile
Holding their hands out is all that they know
Holding each other in the cold

Chorus

Far off in the future
Through a crystal ball
There is someone waiting
Someone you have dreamed of
Further in the future
He will take your hand
Sit down right beside you
Promising a lifetime
See this through your eyes

Chorus:

Life so far hasn't been good
But now you see a face
That shatters pieces of the past
And brings a new found peace

Take his ring of fortune
Use it while you can
Binding you forever
Try to understand him
Put the past behind your
Let the man come in
Don't deny your feelings
He is in your lifeline
See this through your eyes

Chorus

Laying down beside you
On a shooting star
Burning deep inside you
Like a flame eternal
He has taken over
Now he's in your soul
Never dying laughter
All you ever dreamed of
See this through your eyes

Chorus
