One voice cries in the wilderness
One voice cries alone
One voice calls the storms to cease
One voice to atone

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

One man walks like a miracle
One man represents
One hand stretched far to the east
The other to the west

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

Friday morning, like a velvet rose
Up the hill, comes a brand new day
Free at last, ah they took your life
But they could not take it to their graves

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love

Solemnly I write these words, well aware that they are not the ones that come to mind.

Another thought is left unsaid
I thought i saw you in the car ahead
The suns in my eyes but I can clearly see
No matter how hard i try it's just not meant to be

I told myself no, oh no
Said it was better to be all alone
Id never stay mad at myself for long
And my heart wouldn't break
When I hear that song
All these memories have no place to go
All along I told myself no..

Love was a risk and the stakes were high
I took a chance and gambled with my life
And I told myself not to fall so far
Now I'm telling myself not to fall apart

I've got your name on my heart
Never thought I'd play this part
And now nothing can soothe my soul

I told myself no, oh no
Said it was better to be all alone
Id never stay mad at myself for long
And my heart wouldn't break
When I hear that song
All these memories have no place to go
All along I told myself no..

Laugh today to make up for tomorrow's tears.

I found that I could not learn to write, until I was no longer afraid to dream.

I see you crying
Thinking it's the final straw
Wondering if you have it in you
Before the final curtain call

You ask yourself if this is worth it
The makeup and the masquerades
Entertaining all these people
Underneath the lights with a pretty face

Close your eyes
Even the brightest stars
Can't be seen sometimes

The show must go on
It's not the time to take a bow
The show must go on
Even though you wonder how
Take a breath it's okay
If you make mistakes
That's what we do
In this business we call life
We live and learn it's not too late
The show must go on

I can tell your nervous
Like you've got something to prove
You walk out there trying not to fall
Trying so hard not to play a fool

Well yes it's tough
But the best things don't come free
Nothing worth it is ever easy
If it was imagine what the world would be

Take your time
You've still got
The rest of your life

But The show must go on
It's not the time to take a bow
The show must go on
Even though you wonder how
Take a breath it's okay
If you make mistakes
That's what we do
In this business we call life
We live and learn it's not too late
The show must go on

Your love spreads
Just like a cancer
And it's killing me
To wish it away

Your love burns
Just Like a fire
And it destroys everything
That's ever in it's way

So you can say
"Woe is me
Enough is enough
And it's time to leave"
But when push comes to shove
When I've finally had enough
Tell me do you have a clue
Whos going to be there waiting
To open closed doors for you?

You play a good part
As the hero
But you never tell
The story true

Your friends all
Know my name
I guess you've got
A good thing going for you

So you can say
"Woe is me
Enough is enough
And it's time to leave"
But when push comes to shove
When I've finally had enough
Tell me do you have a clue
Whos going to be there waiting
To open closed doors for you?
