==Album lyrics==
'''"Can You Hear The Song"'''

Can you hear the song we're singing? 
Is it so very hard to see the signs of the times 
Can you hear the song we're singing 
Don't close the book 
Don't be afraid to take another look at life 
 
Do you hear the songs they're signing? 
Do you try to understand what's in the lines 
What kind of songs are these they're bringing? 
That tell you black is white 
To try and put out the light that's in your eyes 
 
Now that reminds me of the times I'd walked away 
'Cos I'd heard the tune so many times before 
But when I hear those melodies 
That used to be so dear to me 
They haven't got the magic anymore 
 
All those nights that you spent crying 
Did you think the tears were all in vain? 
Did you think that no one saw you trying 
To bring it back together when 
You'd lost a love you'd hoped would never end 
 
Anyone can sing the song we sing 
If they have an ear to hear the song we've sung 
They can sing along with the song we sang 

'''"The World In Her Heart"'''

Doesn't anybody want her? 
Doesn't anybody care? 
Has anyone got what she really needs 
Who knows what's missing there? 
"I really love you" she hears them say 
But they just don't want to know 
How can they understand? 
They only see the wrong she's done 
And refuse to take her hand 
 
All of her life in bondage 
To the world in her heart 
That's tearing her apart 

'''"Joan Of Arc"'''

Joan of arc, where are you now? 
Joan of arc, will you show us how? 
Where are you riding 
Can you take us there 
Where are you riding, Joan of arc 
Joan of arc, will you lead us now? 

'''"The Prophet"'''

Picture a prophet 
Standing in the light of God 
With a message for the people 
Given from above 
But he lost his inspiration 
Wanting the glory for his own 
Leaving millions in starvation 
For the word they'd never known 
Oh "Why do you keep on 
Speaking without my light? 
You once had the vision 
But now you've lost your sight". 
 
Now the prophet thought he was the greatest one 
And he just went right on talking 
As if he didn't know the light had gone 
The scene looked almost funny 
The people laughed at the foolishness 
Until they discovered that they had nothing 
And were sitting in total darkness 
[Foolish prophets, foolish prophets ahh] 
 
Another prophet 
Stood up holding high a torch 
Which lightened the darkened landscape 
And everyone could see once more 
Healing their wounds with wisdom 
As the beauty of a flower 
And they all knew that he had come 
To show them God's true power 
"Many have come in my name 
Speaking without my light 
It can happen to you just the same 
You won't know wrong from right". 

'''"When I Looked To See The Sunshine"'''

When I looked to see the sunshine 
All I saw was a grey skyline 
So many people were so unkind 
Only seeking their own 
This present day doesn't show me anyway to go 
So I gotta find my own way home 
 
I been waitin' by this roadside 
Everyone has gone and passed on by 
No one cares no one wants to share 
What is on their mind 
As I hear them talking 
I'll just keep walking along 
This road 
Oh it's gonna be a long way home 
Yes it's gonna be a long way home 
 
I'm tired of words and I've grown so weary 
Oh God I'm dying inside 
So dark it hurts, does no one hear me? 
Oh God where do you hide? 
 
Now I know that I was born blind 
And never really saw the daylight 
Until it got so close to midnight 
When in the dark I saw 
The outstretched hand 
Which would lead me from this land 
Below, now I know 
That I couldn't find my own way home 
No I couldn't find my own way home 
I couldn't find my own way alone 
Then I looked to see the sunshine 
Take a look and see the sun 
Take a look and see the sunshine 

''Lyrics for re-recorded version of this song from the "Flee" album ("Sunshine"):''

You were looking for the sunshine 
High up above, 
I saw you in ther window crying. 
 
I was standing on the outside 
As I caught your eye 
How could you think that I could let you down. 
 
(chorus) 
Your tired eyes look so weary 
Oh girl, why do you hide 
To hold you close, I need you near 
Oh girl, stay by my side. 
 
Then I looked & saw the sunlight 
Breakin' in through the clouds, now 
I just wanna see it shine in your heart 
 
(chorus) 
Your tired eyes look so weary 
Oh girl, why do you hide 
To hold you close, I need you near 
Oh girl, stay by my side 

'''"Let's Get On The Ball"'''

Let's get on this ball together 
Let's do everything for the Lord 
The seed you're sowin' has been falling on stone 
And they won't grow 
Because the words are your own 
So come along you don't have to be alone 
 
Let's get in this boat together 
And get his children out of the storm 
Waters of fear are now on the rise 
The dragon is near in a sheepskin disguise 
Hold onto the line 
Get out of the flood of his lies 
 
Truth is turned around 
Driven underground 
For towers made of sand 
But the coming rain (reign) 
Will wash them all away 
His kingdom is at hand 
 
Let's get on this ball together 
Let's do everything for the Lord 
Don't choke his love with the world 
And it's cares 
And be rooted up with the thorns 
And the tares 
Then fall by the wayside 
Devoured by the fowls of the air 
 
The time has come to escape from the night 
That is coming on all the world 
When the moon will not shine 
And the sun has no light 
And the stars are gonna fall to the earth 
 
Let's get in the ark 

'''"Someone Told Me"'''

Someone told me the things to tell you today 
What's going to happen will surely come someday 
And he told me these things were not far away 
And he showed me these things were not far away 
 
Sirens humming and people running outside 
The people's Army have taken over the right 
And he told me these things were not far away 
Then he showed me these things were not far away 
 
What will you be going through? 
As the dawn is breaking? 
What will you have to go through 
Before the sun breaks through? 
 
The skies look so blue as we are talking right now 
But they are red with warning 
And black with gathering clouds 
And I know that these things are not far away 
And you know that these things are not far away 
 
"The end is come, the end is come 
It watcheth for thee 
Behold the end is come". 

'''"Beauty For Ashes"'''

My heart beats so fast whenever I'm with you 
And when I look into your eyes 
This must be the last night I'll spend with you 
Forgive me for making you cry 
 
I used to think I was really something 
I really thought I was so cool 
Thinking that you were the only one 
That ever needed this love 
But oh how I need you 
 
Beauty for ashes, joy for sorrow 
The sweetest of songs must come from this pain 
We'll see as the night passes, 
Our love only grows 
When it's given to be returned again 

'''"War Horse"'''

I hear them yelling "Peace and safety" 
Telling me everything's gonna be all right 
But they just took my eighteen year old brother 
Teaching him how to kill and to fight 
 
Another young man dead, but who gives a damn 
Those Generals on Wall Street 
Got control of our land 
 
Lift up your voices 
And shout out the warning to them 
Open the eyes of the blind 
Show the people their sins 
The lamb's book predestines your end 
 
I see the smoke rising up from the fire 
And it's our heads that you see in the noose 
Oh Lord someone's got to warn the people 
Tell them that the war horse is on the loose 

'''"I Believe in Jesus"'''

This old world was just getting me down 
I couldn't give, I had nothing to give 
Not a word ever lifted the frown 
In fact I had no reason to live 
Now I know, I want to show 
I believe in Jesus 
 
Almost all of the time I was searching my mind 
For an answer to things that I see 
My life had gone by and I didn't know why 
So many things had happened to me 
Then I found out 
I didn't know what it was all about mm, mm 
 
I ain't ashamed of a thing that I'm saying 
I can't help it 'cos I know it's the truth 
It's all in his name you can ask for the same 
Why else should I be singing this song to you 
When all you do mm mm is believe in Jesus 
All you do is believe in Jesus, believe in Jesus 
Just believe in Jesus
