The River - Garth Brooks
You know a dream is like a river
ever changing as it flows
and a dreamer's just a vessel
that must follow where it goes
trying to learn from what's behind you
and never knowing what's in store
makes each day a constant battle
just to stay between the shores . . .and
I will sail my vessel
`till the river runs dry
like a bird upon the wind
these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
if I never try
so I will sail my vessel
`till the river runs dry
too many times we stand aside
and let the waters slip away
`till what we put off `till tomorrow
has now become today
so don't you sit upon the shoreline
and say you're satisfied
choose to chance the rapids
and dare to dance the tide . . . yes
I will sail my vessel
`till the river runs dry
like a bird upon the wind
these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
if I never try
so I will sail my vessel
`till the river runs dry
and there's bound to be rough waters
and I know I'll take some falls
but with the good lord as my captain
I can make it through them all . ..yes
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry
Unknown you - Michael Patrick Kelly
Only the light colours the universe,
enflames the darkness in a rainbow ablaze
Only the dawn shimmers in the morning,
a red-glowing sun at each brake of day
Only the moon, sovereign over the night,
lays down in our dreams her star ridden crown
Only the sky lifts up our eyes
and our best-hidden mumbles towards unknown love
Only the earth holds fast to the roots
and sculpts in the clay your adorable face
Only the rain washes into the soil
and makes life spring up among desert sands
Only the wind beats after the clouds,
tumbles your hair like a lover so rough
Only the fire heats up my skin
and leads my soul to the burning azure.
Unknown you, unknown you,
who are you, where are you from?
Unknown you, unknown you,
do I look like you, do you look like me?
Unknown you, unknown you,
can we talk this through and take a walk?
Only the mountains pierce through the skies
and the thunder-bolt spikes into hundred-year trees
Only the whale makes the ocean sing
and the bird crosses the seas in ascending winds
Only the wild beasts perfume the woods
and the creeping things set the prairies in a nighttime symphony
Only life begets life to mystery, in a breath, in the dust
Unknown you, unknown you,
are you the genius behind it all?
Unknown you, unknown you,
are you the author of the book of life?
Unknown you, unknown you,
can I hear the secrets hidden in your heart?
Only woman enlightens the world with beauty and grace
and man changes matter into a holy place
Only friendship triumphs over storms and shipwrecks
and love makes our lips tremble with words and tender kisses
Only man and woman dance the dance of life
and watch over the child of love
Only brother and sister implore fraternity
and the prodigal children give back hope to mankind
Unknown you, unknown you,
are you the love I am looking for?
Unknown you, unknown you,
do you suffer too and are you happy, like me?
Unknown you, unknown you,
are you my friend and the father of us all?

A Simple Life
If we could be anywhere
Where would it be
Take what we need
And disappear
If we keep holding the ladder
For someone else
And know that one day
Will never come
Let me steal you away
To an open field
We can lie on the grass
Let our souls breath
And all I want
Is just a simple life
A little more time
For you and I
Lay your arms on your eyes and sing yeah
Singing yeah
