SONG LYRICS

1. POSITIVE EFFECT

I can't wait ....

I Can't wait
Till freedom comes
And life will be so dear

I can't wait
Till the darkness goes
After all these years

-
There's a light on the horizon
And darkness starts to fade
And all the shadows lose their deep dark corners
Reveal what was in their shade

There's always reason for complaining
But there also comes a time
When people put their hands together
And resolve all nations' crimes

Chorus:

-
What we need is some positive effect
Something real to reinforce our self-respect
Do you feel the effect is quite direct
What you feel when you put your hand in mine

-


If we agree that we're all equal
Then why infringe on another's rights?
Abuse their power and their magnitude
Do they believe that right is might?
 
Just to feed the greed of the corporate industries
They declare a permanent state of war in their ministries
Do they believe the people of the world dont see the discrepancies?
"Spread democracy" is the word, but the truth is malignancy

-

What's their justification
For the destruction of these nations
For all the killing, and billing, and banking, and spilling
Takes us one step back in humanity
And one step forward in primitivity
Free Palestine, free Iraq right now
It's the only way we can advance anyhow
Let's join our hands together, put these words into effect
Let's return to the world its self-respect!

2. RUNNING OUT OF TIME

.
Dont ask me when it all went wrong
I know it was some time ago
Dont ask me why its been so long
These are the things that I just dont know

We've been living here and whats out of sight
Goes out of mind
Even wrong and right
Becomes so hard
When you're running out of time

.
Dont ask me bout those crazy freaks
They been messing up for so long
Dont ask me why I try to speak out
By writing these heartfelt songs

I dont want the things that are out of sight
To go out of mind
Because wrong and right
Never change but now we're running out of time

Chorus:
Lets work together
We're running out of time
It's now or never
We're running out of time
Through stormy weather
We're standing side by side
Its a great endeavour
But we gotta start now
Cause we're almost
Running out of time


Dont ask me why they break the rules
They think that time is on their side
Dont ask me why they think we're fools
Maybe their eyes been blinded by their pride

THE WALL MUST FALL

Time flies
When you're having fun
Anyone who's been there can tell

But as days pass
Things are being done
And the story becomes harder to sell

If crime pays
Business is a boom
Your corporate devils soaring up high

But their violent ways
Are starting to consume
The fabric of the parachute
That keeps them in the sky

Chorus:
Even while you build your walls
Your self-conception is false
This land will never be yours

Cause the more hatred you cause
The more youll grieve for the loss
when the Apartheid wall falls


War games
Are what you know so well
Do you really think it works out to last

Fire and flames
Can make a living hell
But they'll never serve to fix up your past

Justice
do you know what it means
or do you think its something meant to avoid

But u must face
The inevitable scene
Your Apartheid wall is gonna be
Eventually destroyed

HOME

Desolately looking at what once was home
And wondering why it had to go
The little girl swallows her tears

Yesterday the soldiers came
Took everything she had away
Nothing left to live off but her fears


This crazy world is letting
The culprits get away

Refugees in their own land
Deported by a savage hand
And thrown into famine and despair

But around her neck the front door keys
Will keep alive the memories
Returning home is now her only care

And now she still remembers
How daddy used to say


Home is always in your heart
They can't take that away
Be strong, even when life gets rough
And nothing seems to go your way

Someday, justice will overcome
Their lies will fall apart
But till then let home live in your heart


Nightmares from the screams at night
Are keeping her from sleeping tight
Images of fire, blood and tears

The occupation is a crime
Defenceless people terrified
As desperation grows throughout the years

Resisting occupation
Is the only thing to do

Whatever happened in Jenin
Was deliberately kept unseen
A shameless crime was covered up in veils

But as time goes by we won't forget
The truth will be uncovered yet
As long as we are there to tell the tale

CASTLES IN THE SKY

They came with their power and their might
They never cared what was wrong or right

Creating the empire of their dreams
But sometimes the truth aint what it seems

There is a reason for this pain
That's how it feels when you only seek your gain

Go back to where you once came from
Leave whats not yours to whom it belongs

Cause it's a fake
A crazy dream
They're building castles in the sky


You can be my guest, but not my king
Trying to enslave me is a foolish thing

Do you believe this dream will last?
Have you learned nothing from the past

There is a reason for this pain
That's how it feels when you only seek your gain

Go back to where you once came from
Leave whats not yours to whom it belongs

Cause it's a fake
A crazy dream
They're building castles in the sky


You cant just take what is not yours
Indulge in your theft without remorse

Do you sleep at night
Are you satisfied

Or are you terrified
Are you petrified
That the people are going to claim their right

You can't build a castle in the sky
You can't build the truth upon a lie

What seems so strong can crumble away
Its a house of cards and the sky looks grey

The storm will come
Just wait and see
You will have to face
Reality

I have something to sing to you
It's the words I want you to listen to
And if you feel the melody
You will know how much you mean to me

My Love - You are my world
Always the girl
The girl of my dreams

And I love you so much
Your tender touch
Is heaven to me

So I will always be loving you
No way I'll ever let go of you
Cause you are so much a part of me
Always there, here in my heart with me

My Love - You are my world
Always the girl
The girl of my dreams

And I love you so much
Your tender touch
Is heaven to me

INTIFADAH

Occupation is a hazardous game
If you get your hands dirty it will burn you like a flame
They want us to bow down surrender our home town
For building colonies creating a show down

It's not political or meta-analytical
It's plain and straight war crimes targeting civilians
North American Indians, Australian Aboriginals
The people of the land all wiped into oblivion

It is never right to steal another people's country
Your uebermensch philosophy has smothered your morality
No fake excuses, no media control
Can cover up the crime
It is vivid to us all

Because in Palestine
There are people trying Just to live their life in peace
Though they're occupied
You can't control their lives
Because they're fighting to be free

Have you heard the story about 1948
I'm sure you've heard a story but not what took place
Ethnic cleansing like the kind you saw in Kosovo
Protected by the powerful and treated o so loveable

Justice? seems they don't know what that is
They say: power is a healthy way of solving this quiz
Military power, economical power
Without continuous infusions they wouldn't last an hour

You better stop breaking our bones
You better stop wrecking our homes
You better stop stealing our lands
Beware of the anger of the innocent

Because in Palestine
There are people trying
Just to live their life in peace
Though they're occupied
You can't control their lives
Because they're fighting to be free

It's a tragedy of inhumanity
Would you rather close your eyes?
Can't go on this way
Just wake up someday
Or you will have to pay the price

People of the world beware of Zionism
It's a racist ideology like National Socialism
United Nations Resolution 3379
You wiped it from the records but not from our minds

We will never give up
We're ready for the fight
Never give up
Beloved Palestine
Never give up
The struggle to survive
We're rising up
To rescue Palestine

We will never give up
We're ready for the fight
Never give up
Beloved Palestine
We're rising up
Intifadah
We're rising up
Intifadah

IF WE PRETEND

You can pretend you’re a sailor
Just because you have a boat in the isles
You can pretend you’re a tailor
Cause you’re always dressed to the nines

Or you might think you’re a policeman
Just because you told a man how to drive
Well I hate to be breaking up your peace, man
But it looks to me like you need a life

Chorus

If we pretend hard enough
We can say the worlds a beautiful place
If we pretend hard enough
We can hide its most ugly face

If we pretend hard enough
We can see what was accomplished by the human race
But it’s all about nothing
If they still can’t spare a child

What you pretend is only your imagination
Even if you need it to avoid all those frustrations
In the mean time life fulfils its cruel reality
Outside your bubble, there’s a world in deep discrepancy

You can pretend you’re a doctor
Just because you sold your herbal tea
You can pretend you’re a painter
Who will be recognized in history

You can pretend you’re a baker
Just because you baked an apple pie

Well I hate to be breaking up your peace man
But stop trying to pretend you’re civilized

FOR LIFE

I never thought that this love could happen
I'd never dreamed there was someone like you
But now that you're here I can see it's forever
I've got the power and it's all for you


Whatever it takes I'll be right here by your side
For life


I'm not a man who's afraid of decisions
But I take a chance when I know that it's right
Your mysterious eyes have shown me a vision
Without even knowing they've changed my whole life


What a difference it makes when you're right here by my side
For life


Chorus:
I'm waiting and calling and still anticipating
The life I'll be building with you
Whenever I see you I never wanna leave you
I'll always be waiting for you
The feeling keeps growing and always keeps me going
It's making me feel so alive
I know that it shows that it's always gonna grow and
that love is the reason for life
I want you to know that you're all that I care for
and that I believe in this love
I'll always be there, good times and bad times
I'll be your best friend for the rest of my life



_


I have a dream and you're right there in it
I can make it come true if you show me the way
You are a lady in all your expressions
A Queen among queens and I want you to stay


Whatever it takes I'll be right here by your side
For life


Beautiful lady, don't worry, don't worry
Cause everything 's gonna work out alright
If it takes the strength of a thirty-ton lorry
I've got the power cause I know it's right


What a difference it makes when you're right here by my side
For life

War

Takes its toll

Everyday

Wasting thousands of lives



Fear

Drains the soul

Of its fire

Making emptiness thrive



Love

Brings together what was torn apart

Bringing peace and joy into the heart

Making everything right

Love

Is the reason why we make the change

All that's shuffled can be rearranged

And brought from the darkness to the light



We're gonna have to make a change

And chase the darkness from the land

Its time for us to rearrange

And take our fates in our own hands



All the poisoned minds can be washed clear

We've got to let them see the light

It's time to cure their morbid fear

So we can end this dreadful night

With love, love, love

We can win this troubled fight



Pain

Is the hurt

Of a child

When it cries for its mother



Hate

Makes a man

Lose his faith

And turn on his brother

Sometimes I feel it all just goes too fast
It's time to take a break or two

Before you know it
The future's already past
There's barely time to do the things you want to do


There's gotta be a place where love is still in rule
There's gotta be a place where money's just a tool

Honey let's dream we're on a distant shore together
We'll spend the day just watching the waves and enjoy the sunny weather


There's gotta be a place where love is still in rule
There's gotta be a place where money's just a tool


I'm taking a time out from the game of life
I'm tired of being pushed around and 'round
Don't wanna be part of this ambition race
Just wanna lay back and rest my mind
 

Living for myself is not my scene
There's gotta be someone there to share your joys and pains
It's the only way we can accept this world
If we're in this together we can make it through the rains


There's gotta be a place where love is still in rule
There's gotta be a place where money's just a tool


I'm taking a time out from the game of life
I'm tired of being pushed around and 'round
Don't wanna be part of this ambition race
Just wanna lay back and rest my mind

I'm taking a time out from the game of life
But where would I be without your loving touch
Cause energy flows into my wasted mind
Whenever I look into your eyes
