I: if she runs
If she runs, let her run, run, run
just hope that she comes back
if she breaks let her break, break, break
let apologies attract
And is sheand's free let her be, let her be
sheand's not in such bad company
the big manand's still got her name written on the wall
If she cries let her cry, cry, cry
and'till there isnand't anymore
if she cracks, let her crack, crack, crack
if thatand's what cheand's looking for
And if she waits, let her wait, wait, wait
youand'll have to leave this one to fate
it canand't ever be too late, when she comes to call
Itand's hard -- living with such uncertainty
itand's hard -- climbing the statue of liberty
itand's hard -- calming the beatle inside of me
itand's hard -- missing my max and melody
ii: mr. wonderful
Her lips were ruby red
she had a pretty head
not even once did she miss sunday school
remember what mama said, andquot;stick to the rulesandquot;
This boy was something else
someone she knew so well
echoes of snakes in paradise
saw the strangest fire burning in his eyes.
His name was wonderful
and itand's wonderful, just to be near him
his name was majesty
and his majestyand's requesting your presence
He took her for a ride
into the starless night
talked about far away place heand's been
could take her down to the city of sin
andquot;grab it while you are young
trust me thereand's nothing wrong
but she feard what was and'round the bendandquot;
said andquot;thank you, but no thankand's, and'cause iand've got a friendandquot;
His name was wonderful
and itand's wonderful, just to be near him
his name was majesty
and his majestyand's requesting your presence
iii: lost and found pt. 1
Donand't you think if you could be lost
donand't you think you can be found
donand't you think if you were the world, youand'd turn it around
donand't you start look behind
donand't better stand up and'cause this is your time
donand't you think that youand'd better start changing your mind
iv: temple of the gods
In the temple of the gods
we can get it on
in the temple of the gods
we will make our home
far from these boulevards
we will plunge headlong
in the temple of the gods
we will sing this song
Give all the reasons that you know
slide down where the time moves nice and slow
ease back and relax
no figures and no fax
awakening the stranger in your soul
In the temple of the gods
we can get it on
in the temple of the gods
we will make our home
far from these boulevards
we will plunge headlong
in the temple of the gods
we will sing this song
v: motherless children/if she runs (reprise)
Left the countryside for the city
she resides now on the second floor
no more gardening in the backyard
busy keepinand' the wolves from the door
Motherless children, ainand't going nowhere
running in circles, time after time
careless, confused, frozen, faithless
dreaming this dream to ease our minds
And if she runs
let her run
come on and'cause now the time has come
the big manand's got the mother and the son
written on the wall
Donand't want to hear it now.....
