Up Above My head, there is blue sky, below my feet there is dark, somewhere in the middle there is me, lost in thought.

A man adrift at sea dreams of a place that he would rather be
Feeling sick to his stomach as the waves heave him up and down again
But there is hope a light beckons on the horizon to set him free
And a lifetime passes before his eyes as he rests upon the sea
Upon the sea.

But that was a lifetime ago when an ocean felt like tears upon a veil
And loneliness wasn't right taking comfort from the blowing of a whale
With the sea you pass a thousand years and you learn to quickly face your fears
And a lifetime passes before your eyes as you gaze upon the sea and sky
So warily upon the sea.

I just want to let you know how I feel
This is something that I'd rather not conceal
Close your eyes the sea will sweep you off your feet
Don't ever throw in the towel admit your defeat.

A man adrift at sea can't think of a place he'd rather be
At home amongst the waves he dreams of a life that he has saved
And he is home he feels the tears welling in his eyes
Certain assurance from a lifetime that passed him by
Now he is free upon the sea
Now he is free upon the sea.

PLEASE TELL ME WHY: Music and Lyrics Steven Jackson

Look at you
Now look at me
The Earth and sky
And the place in between
The setting Sun
And the rising Moon
If only we could co-exist
Like them too.

I close my eyes
And I drift away
To another time
To another place
Please tell me why
With all of Heaven above
We cannot find peace on Earth
We cannot find the love.

I don't know what it is I'm trying to do
But the only thing that's working is me and you
I don't know what it is I'm trying to say
Please tell me why
Please tell me why.

So when you think
You've finally found your truth
Climb up a ladder
And stand upon your roof
Then gaze upon
The world that's waiting below
Are you feeling small
Feeling insecure
Please tell me why
With all creation below
We watch the ripples we create
With the stones we throw.
Please tell me why
With all of Heaven above
We cannot find peace on Earth
We cannot find the love.

I don't know what it is I'm trying to do
But the only thing that's working is me and you
I don't know what it is I'm trying to say
Please tell me why
Please tell me why.

Look at you
Now look at me
The Earth and sky
And the space in between
The setting Sun
And the rising Moon
If only we could co-exist
Like them too.

MY BEST FRIEND : music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

These are words to you I'd like to send
I'd like to thank you for being my best friend
You stuck with me when all was dark
Kept me together when I was falling apart
You were the one who held a candle up for me.

I'd like to say I'm the luckiest man in the world
You ease my pain and you take away the hurt
You never let me feel alone
You gave me shelter gave me a home
You were the one who gave me light when all was dark.

And I will never stop saying how much I love you
And I will never stop saying what it is you mean to me
And I will never ever take you for granted
Oh this I mean, this I mean.

I pray that you will never ever leave me
I pray that you will always be there by my side
And if we ever have to part
I know that day will break my heart
I can't imagine life being without you.

They say all good things must come to an end
I'd like to thank you for being my best friend
You stuck with me when all was dark
Kept me together when I was falling apart
You were the one who held a candle up for me.

SHE WALKS : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

And she walks through the storm
And the wind blows through her hair
Wasn't conscious of losing him
Walked into another life looking behind.
I sense a change coming on
The storm clouds above my head are moving on
Turn my head as the Sun reaches out to me
Watching the shafts of light kissing the sea
Kissing the sea.

Walks to find another side of herself
She walks to see the images inside her head
She walks to rediscover what it is to be alive
Never looking back at trails left behind.
I sense a change coming on
The darkness above my head is moving on
Turn around as the Sun reaches out to me
Cannot help but stare in disbelief.

She sent you a ghost of a smile
To keep you happy for awhile
Separated by many years
You've climbed to the summit of your fears.

Viewing the past through rose-coloured eyes
Tends to mask the present in disguise
Awkward silences fill the air
Undermine the memories that you've shared.
Ooh she's not there, ooh she's not there, she's not there.

And she walsk throught he storm
And the wind blows through her hair
Wasn't conscious of loving him
Walked into another life never looking behind.
I sense a change coming on
The storm clouds above my head are moving on
Turn around as the Sun reaches out to me
Watching the shafts of light kissing the sea
Kissing the sea.

SHOULDER TO SHOULDER : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

We grow older but no wiser
It seems to me there are no answers
But what the question is I can't define.
Messages keep getting scrambled
It's all too much to handle
My brain is overloaded I cannot think.

We're standing shoulder to shoulder
As we're pushing on the boulder
We can't afford to keep still
Gotta push it up that hill
But don't ask why.

I know it seems as though there is no purpose
As if we're living in three-ring Circus
But I guess it has to make sense to someone else
I'm not sure and I ask no questions
Seems easier and there are no headaches
Thinking is somthing that i can do without.

We're standing shoulder to shoulder
And still we're getting older
We can't afford to keep still
Don't wanna be over the hill
But don't ask why.

Something is building inside now
Something that I cannot hide now
We're standing shoulder to shoulder
And we're pushing on the boulder now.

We grow older but no wiser
It seems to me there are no answers
But what the question is I can't define
Messages keep getting scrambled
It's all too much to handle
My brain is overloaded I cannot think.

We're standing shoulder to shoulder
As we're pushing on the boulder
We can't afford to keep still
Gotta push it up that hill
But don't ask why.

LOOKING THROUGH A WINDOW : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

I am looking through a window
Of a world that I have known
And I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I have gone
As I leave the past behind
The future's all in front of me
One foot goes before the other
That's the place I want to be.

I am looking in a mirror
But I do not see the past
Lines that are etched upon the face
Are the lines that will not last
Growing older is not something
That I really want to do
I am fighting with all my might
It's something that I have to prove.

And I don't know what I can do
To convince you how much I need you
You may try to push me away
I will never go astray
I will not leave, no no.

I am looking at the changes
That are passing in our lives
When we seem to lose each other
Yet we gain a peace of mind.
There's a peace and understanding
That we find along the way
As we gently close our eyes
On the passing of the day.

And I know what I can do
To convince you how much I need you
And I promise that I'm here to stay
I will never go away
I will never leave, no no.

WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

Out of darkness there is light
Out of Hell comes Paradise
Out of death there grows life
Out of peace there is strife.

What do you mean to me
What do you mean to me.

Out of love there grows hate
Loneliness finds a mate
Eyes being shielded by the Sun
A walk that turns into a run.

Find out what you mean to me
Find out what you mean to me.

Cause there is something that is on my mind
Something that I can't define
Something that is won and lost
Something where I weigh the cost
Of what you mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me.

Out of a seed there grows a flower
Out of minutes grow the hours
A river flows to meet the sea
A hunger grows until it's greed.

What do you mean to me
What do you mean to me

Rain that falls upon dry ground
Silence fills the air with sound
A smile that falls upon a face
Signals hope for the human race.

Find out what you mean to me
Find out what you mean to me.

Cause there is something that is on my mind
Something that I can't define
Something that is won and lost
Something where I weigh the cost of what
You mean to me
What you mean to me
What you mean to me.

A GOOD MAN : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

When I'm six feet under the ground
What will people say about me
When I'm a picture on a mantelpiece
Will it be a happy memory

Ooh was I a good man
Ooh was I a good man.

Has my time upon the Earth
Been all that it should be
I hope that I have made more friends
Than I've made enemies.

Ooh was I a good man
Ooh was I a good man
I hope I've been a good man
To be known as a good man
Remembered as a good man
Oh a good man.

I know I've had my quarrels in days gone by
It isn't always possible to see eye to eye.

Ooh was I a good man
Ooh was I a good man
I hope I've been a good man
To be known as a good man
Remembered as a good man.

Don't tell me what I don't want to hear
Don't tell me anyhting thta's negative at all.
Don't tell me if it's not the right words
Cause I'm sorry Father I'm sorry.

I hope I haven't hurt too many people in my life
To those I've hurt I'm sorry
I 'd like to put it right.

Ooh was I a good man
Ooh was I a good man
I hope I've been a good man
To be known as a good man
Remembered as a good man
Oh a good man.

UP ABOVE MY HEAD : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

Up above my head
There is blue sky
Below my feet
There is dark
Somewhere in the middle
There is me
Lost in thought.

Trying to make sense
Of a crazy world
When nothing makes sense
To me at all
We're all just looking
For the answers
Hoping for more.

Is this all there is ?
What happens when we die ?
Do the bad souls descend to Hell
While the good souls rise to the sky
Ah Heaven !.

Are we just pawns on a giant chessboard
being moved by some power above
Are we just actors
On a stage
Looking for love.

Walking blindly
With nowhere to go
Watching ourselves
As we age and grow
Staring in the mirror
Staring at the sky
Waiting to die.

Is this all there is ?
Do we continue when we die ?
Does being bad condemn you to Hell
While being good means you rise to the sky
Ah heaven !.

Up above my head
There is blue sky
Below my feet
There is dark
Somewhere in the middle
There is me
Lost in thought.

I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

I just want to tell you something
I want to let you know
How I feel about you.
And these words that I am singing
They're coming from the heart
Aint no doubt about it.

And I want to tell the world
What a difference you have made to my life
And I want to share with the world
How I became a better man with you by my side.

And I hear the whistle blowing
And I feel the train a rollin'
And I know that we are going
On a journey that will change our lives.

Who knows where it'll take us
Who knows what is just around the bend
Life is such a strange journey
Made so much better with a friend.

And I want to tell the world
What a difference it is to have you by my side
And I want to share with the world
How good it is to be alive.

And I hear the whistle blowing
And I feel the wheels a rollin'
And I know that we are going
On a journey that will change our lives.

And I want to tell the world
What a difference you have made to my life
And I want to share with the world
How I became a better man
With you by my side.

And I hear the whistle blowing
And I feel the train a rollin
And I know that we are going
On a journey that will change our lives.

GOODBYE : Music and Lyrics by Steven Jackson

Goodbye to you my friend
I can clearly see the end
There's been laughter
There's been pain
But I would do it all again
Goodbye to you, goodbye
Goodbye.

Goodbye to a world so blue
It saddens me what we've done to you
I hear you crying in your pain
I'd like to take it all away
Goodbye to you, goodbye
Goodbye.

Goodbye I will close my eyes
Goodbye please do not cry
Don't be sad I'm leaving you
Cause it's the only thing to do
Goodbye to you, goodbye
Goodbye.

Goodbye to you my friend
This is feeling like the end
There's been laughter
There's been pain
But I would do it all again
Goodbye to you, goodbye
goodbye.
