La Sagrada Familia (Parsons/Woolfson) - 8:44

Who knows where the road may
lead us, only the fool would say
Who knows if we'll meet along the
way
Follow the brightest star as far
as the brave may dare
What will we find when we get
there

La Sagrada Familia we pray the
storm will soon be over
La Sagrada Familia for the lion
and the lamb

Who knows where the winds may
blow us, only a fool would say
Who knows if we'll ever reach the
shore
Follow a rising sun with eyes that
may only stare
What kind of fire will burn us
there? What kind of fire?
Only a fool would say

La Sagrada Familia the wind has
changed the storm is over
La Sagrada Familia for the lion
and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia we thank the
Lord the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia there's peace
throughout the land

Under clear blue skies our voices
rise in songs of glory
And for all those years our eyes
and ears were filled with tears

Who knows where the world may
turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fate may
have in store
Follow the light of truth as far
as our eyes can see
How should we knows where that
may be? How should we know?

Then the angry skies, the battle
cries, the sounds of glory
And for all those years out eyes
and ears were filled with tears

Who knows where the road may
lead us, only a fool would say
Who knows what's been lost
along the way
Look for the promised land in all
of the dreams we share
How will we know when we are
there? How will we know?
Only a fool would say

La Sagrada Familia the war is won
the battle's over
La Sagrada Familia for the lion
and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia we thank the
lord the danger's over
La Sagrada Familia behold the
mighty hand
La Sagrada Familia the night is
gone the waiting's over
La Sagrada Familia there's peace
throughout the land

Until the next time
Until the next time

Too Late (Parsons/Woolfson) - 4:34

When you were standing in the
rain I gave you shelter
When I was knocking on you door
you gave me none
Well I don't make that kind of deal
with anybody
And I won't be that kind of fool
for anyone

How do you feel when the tables
have been turned?
What will you do now that the bridges
have been burned?

Cause it's
Too late now the magic's lost
Too late now the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain
unspoken

When I need you by my side you
stand above me
And when I look into your eyes
you turn away
Well if that's the best there is
then I won't buy it
Well if that's the only game then I
won'y play

How many danger signs did you
ignore?
How many times have you heard it
all before?

Cause it's
Too late now the magic's lost
Too late now the spell is broken
Too late now to count the cost
Of words that should remain
unspoken

Closer to Heaven (Parsons/Woolfson) - 5:54

Rising and falling lighter than air
Silently calling no one is there
Oh, bird that is flying so high and
so free
Closer to heaven than you and me

Voices of strangers keep me from
sleep
Guardian angels watch over the
deep
A ship that is sailing way out to
the sea
Closer to heaven than you and me

Visions of rain fall out of blue
skies
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
eyes
Answer my question tell me no
lies
Is this the real world or a fool's
paradise?

Wind that is blowing so wild and
so free
Closer to heaven than you and me

Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me

Visions of rain fall out of blue
skies
Rivers of tears flow out of dry
eyes
Answer my question tell me no
lies
Is this the real world or a fool's
paradise?

Love that lies sleeping wakes in
the night
Secrets for keeping that won't
see the light
I look to the future and I hope it
will be
Closer to heaven than you and me

Closer to heaven longing to be
Closer to heaven than you and me

Standing on Higher Ground (Parsons/Woolfson) - 5:02

I know the truth
But I can't say
And I have to turn my head
And look the other way

I'm not afraid
And I won't lie
As long as I see no wrong
I won't need to testify

I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

I breathe the air
While they're running in a rat
race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

I feel the blow
But I don't speak
And I have to close my eyes
Pretending I'm asleep

Well I see the tears
But I don't cry
As long as I do no wrong
I don't need an alibi

I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

I breathe the air
While they're running in a rat
race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

Money Talks (Parsons/Woolfson) - 4:23

Money don't grow on a money tree
The more you take leave the less
for me
Money don't buy what you really
need
It make an iceman cry, it make a
stone man bleed

But when you get right down to it,
no matter who you are
It rules your life like virgin
queen
One day you might get over it, but
in the meantime
It rules the world like a green
machine

In a bank, in a box, money talks
In the black, on the rocks, money
talks, money talk

Money doesn't lose in the money
game
It drags you down like a ball and
chain
So money don't come with a
guarantee
It make a fool of you, it make a fool
of me

But when you get right down to it,
no matter what you say
It ties you down but it can set you
free
Some day you might get over it, but
in the meantime
It burns you up in the first degree

Moscow, Bangkok, money talk
Park Lane, Boardwalk, money talk

But when you get right down to it,
no matter what you try
You deal the cards, give the
wheel a spin
One day you might get over it but
everybody knows
It's heads you lose and it's tails
they win
Don't have too much to show for
it, that the way it goes
You roll the dice abd they cash
you in

Pinball, jukebox, money talks
Redskins WHite Sox, money talks
Billboard, cashbox, money talks

Inside Looking out (Parsons/Woolfson) - 6:19

To touch the sky
A dreamer must be
Someone who has more
imagination than me

To reach the stars
A dreamer must fly
Somehow he must live more of a
lifetime than I
For sands of time won't wait
And it may be too late

Now it is the hour and the moment
Don't let the chance go by
Your ship is sailing with the high
tide
And all your dreams are on the
inside
On the inside looking out, on the
inside, looking out
Looking out, looking out, looking
out

To change the world
A dreamer must be
Someone who has more
determination than me

To free his sould
A dreamer must fly
Somewhere he must find a better
reason than I
The hands of time won't wait
And we may be too late

Now is the hour and the moment
Don't let a day pass by
You ship is sailing with the high
tide
You could be standing on the
inside
On the inside looking out, on the
inside, looking out
On the inside looking out, on the
inside, looking out
Looking out, looking out, looking
out
