From Sarah with Love



Lyrics:

For so many years we were friends
And yes I always knew what we could do
But so many tears in the rain
Felt the night you said
That love had come to you
I thought you were not my kind
I thought that I could never feel for you
The passion and love you were feeling
And so you left
For someone new
And now that you're far and away
I'm sending a letter today

From Sarah with love
She's got the lover she is dreaming of
She never found the words to say
But I know that today
She's gonna send her letter to you

From Sarah with love
She took your picture to the stars above
And they told her it is true
She could dare to fall in love with you
So don't make her blue when she writes to you
From Sarah with love

So maybe the chance for romance
Is like a train to catch before it's gone
And I'll keep on waiting and dreaming
You're strong enough
To understand
As long as you're so far away
I'm sending a letter each day

From Sarah with love
She's got the lover she is dreaming of
She never found the words to say
But I know that today
She's gonna send her letter to you

From Sarah with love
She took your picture to the stars above
And they told her it is true
She could dare to fall in love with you
So don't make her blue when she writes to you
From Sarah with love

From Sarah with love
She's got the lover she is dreaming of
She never found the words to say
But I know that today
She's gonna send her letter to you

From Sarah with love
She's gotta know what you are thinking of
Cause every little now and then
And again and again
I know her heart cries out for you

From Sarah with love (Come on)
She's got the lover she is dreaming of (from Sarah, from Sarah with love)
Never found - words to say, ahh
But today, but today...

From Sarah with love (woo...)
She took your picture to the stars above
And they told her it is true
She could dare to fall in love with you
So don't make her blue when she writes to you
From Sarah with love
So don't make me blue when I write to you
From Sarah with love

The Grave




Lyrics:



The grave that they dug him had flowers

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.

He's gone.



When the wars of our nation did beckon,

A man barely twenty did answer the calling.

Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,

He's gone,

But Eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done.



And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers

Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.

And deep in the trench he waited for hours,

As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.



But the silence of night was shattered by fire

As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.

And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.

In morgue of Marines, alone standing there.



He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.

They can't let me die! The can't let me die here!

I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth.

I'll cover myself! I know I'm not brave!

The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave.



The grave that they dug him had flowers

Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,

And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.

He's gone.

Life is Life



Lyrics:

When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute of an hour
Don't think about the rest
And you all get the power
You all get the best
When everyone gets everything
And every song everybody sings

And it's life (nanananana)
Life is life (nanananana)
Life is life (nanananana)
Labadab dab dab life (nanananana)

Life is life when we all feel the power
Life is life come on, stand up and dance
Life is life when the feeling of the people
Life is life is the feeling of the band

When we all give the power
We all give the best
Every minute of an hour
Don't think about the rest
Then you all get the power
You all get the best
When everyone gives everything
And every song everybody sings

And it's life (nanananana)
Life is life (nanananana)
Labadab dab dab life (nanananana)
Life is life (nanananana)

Life (nanananana)
(nanananana)
(nanananana)
(nanananana)

Life (nanananana)
Life is life (nanananana)
Labadab dab dab life (nanananana)
Live is life (nanananana)

And you call when it's over
You call it should last
Every minute of the future
Is a memory of the past
Cause we all gave the power
We all gave the best
And everyone gave everything
And every song everybody sang

Life is life

One



Lyrics:

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops at me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
(instrumental break)
Back in the womb it's much
too real
It pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me

Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me

(instrumental break)

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
