What did he find there when he
He sent him burning so he
Came up so fast
Sunlight through glass
The papers start to smolder and he's
Back to the wall
Slipping to fall
And no one seems to notice
He's the king of the western world
The king of the western world
He's the king of the western world
The king of the western world, the western world
How many welcomes did they
Pour down like silver in the
Path of the king
Listen, he sings
A lullaby and watches as the
Anchor's drawn in
Drifting to spin
And no one seems to notice
He's the king of the western world
The king of the western world
He's the king of the western world
The king of the western world
Who saw him smile as he
Listed the reasons but the
Spinning the stream
Echoes the screams
Of sirens as the buildings start to
Shake to the ground
Look what he's found
Now everybody knows that
He's the king of the western world
The king of the western world
He's the king of the western world
The king of the western world, the western world, the western world
Oh mother, sweet mother, tell me what have they done?
I watch our children play together their games
And though we are informed against whom they defend
Come brother Abraham, into my home
When my time is over, will you follow me into my bed?
Please come to my bedside, there is something left for me to share
I remember you when I was nine
But if you take these words of mine
'Cause you came to my bedside and you
I tried to keep a garden
I set my heart on fire
And in the early evening light
Picture a girl in an ivory veil
Arab night tide rises over
Sailor's luck and a porter's tale
I dreamed a dream and strained my eyes
You showed me suns I'd never seen
You flew with me through ancient halls
And when I had to close my eyes
Towers Of Denmark
The darkness that's rising, I fear that it's come
And the winds at midnight blow cold by the door
And the time that we had, we don't have anymore
I study their faces, I see they're the same
Oh father, please tell me what it is they have done
Have they pulled down the sky, have they stolen the sun?
And though the towers of Denmark are thrown into the dirt
I will stand by your side with your star on my shirt
Oh Abraham, Abraham, lift up your eyes
It is not out of fear but for love that I cry
When I look in your eyes I see only my friend
Oh Abraham, Abraham, don't be afraid
For alone we are drowned, but together we're saved
And though the towers of Denmark are thrown into the dirt
I will stand by your side with your star on my shirt
Oh Abraham, Abraham, lift up your eyes
It is not out of fear but for love that I cry
For as long as we breathe you will not be alone
My land is your land and I feel your fear
And as long as there's danger, you will stay hereAnd though the towers of Denmark are thrown into the dirt
I will stand by your side with your star on my shirt
Oh Abraham, Abraham, lift up your eyes
It is not out of fear but for love that I cryNothing Like Today
For I have thought about this and I think that you will carry me
Upon your back
And I fear this is the real thing,
And my fingers are not trembling
I would love to come and read these walls today
Oh, I have seen tomorrow
I know it's nothing like today
Some love to give and hands to touch,
A little warmth, a little press
Behind my eyes
Soon I'll close them for forever
And my words will lose their meaning
If you hold them back and wait another day
Oh father, I am here now
Am I a little bit too late?
You held my hand, said everything's all right
I am here now
Then there's nothing left to say my friend
in all my life
It's all I've left from all those years
I'll stand right by your side
I'll be by your side
Held my hand and warmed me with your breath
And I am ready, I've been planning all this for some time
Now don't you cry
'Cause I'm not going anywhere without you
You will look for me and I will look for you
It's nothing like today
You know that I have seen tomorrow
I know it's nothing like today
You know that I have seen tomorrow
I know it's nothing like today
It's nothing like today
Stones
I coaxed the seeds to grow
I watched the sunlight follow
Down where the raindrops go
I saw the streambed dry up
The green leaves turn to brown
I dug to find a harvest
But stones were all I found
Summer marches through Bethlehem
In this season, season of stones
I swore my tongue to burn
I pledged myself to nothing else
And waited for my turn
And when the wait was over
I opened up my bag
And reached inside to find my prize
But stones were all I had
Summer marches through Bethlehem
In this season, season of stones
The city turned to gold
I listened as the old men sang
And heard their stories told
Across the square a young girl sat
She played without a sound
I looked for laughter in her eyes
But stones were all I found
Summer marches through Bethlehem
In this season, season of stones
Summer marches through Bethlehem
Again and again and again and again and again
And again and again and again1001 Nights
Diamonds on a sterling soul
Once upon a time she says
and lays his head down on her lap
She starts
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand
Thick bazaar in a desert town
Holy men crisscross the land
That their fathers crossed and uncrossed
A thousand cries, a thousand sighs
A thousand dreams, and all from the mouth of a child
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand
The city built upon a will
Stories twist and turn, collide and overlap
They're sealed together on fire
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nights
One and a thousand nightsUnderneath the Big Sky
To where the sidewalk meets the sky
And certain stars shot forth from their spheres to catch a sight of you
You came to me and you took my hand
And danced with me across the sands
Spinning so fast that our feet didn't touch the ground
You showed me what was in between
The lines that I had read for so long
Here underneath the big sky
Here underneath the big sky
You held my hand
I watched the wind fill up your sails
And showed me how to see things I never knew were there
And I held my breath
As you pointed out history
Here underneath the big sky
Here underneath the big sky
You held my hand
You held my hand
Here underneath the big sky
Here underneath the big sky
You held my hand
