Pray	Riding High
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton	music: Dieter Horns / words: John Lawton
.	.
pray - pray -	catch the sunrise of the morning, watch the eagle fly
pray - help me get through the night	just behind the moon the calling, glides between
pray - outa mind out of sight	the desert and the sky
just playing mind games that is leading to your soul	the shifting sand that guides me and leaves behind no trace
you’ll hear the screaming of the stories never told	through the sea of madness, that hides the masquerade
	.
come face the yearning of another lonely day	riding high with angels, drifting up through the burning sky
if only time could speak the words you never say	reaching out for the glory, the dreams that passed us by
.	.
pray - help me get through the night	moving all that lies before me, sweep away the years
pray - outa mind out of sight	in the distance rides the stranger, speaking words
.	that challenge all my fears.
your drowning so fast in a stream of insanity	.
your spinning the dreams that you’ll need to survive	he rides the horse of freedom, a trail of angry souls
.	the freedom goes unanswered, the signs he leaves go cold
pray - help me get through till dawn	.
pray - when your breaking the fall	riding high with angels, drifting up through the burning sky
.	reaching out for the glory, the dreams that passed us by
the price you pay for riding the storm	riding high with the angels, leaving those who have lost their way
there's nothing left inside the feelings have all gone	all that’s left of illusions, to fight another day
there's no denying it’ll put you to the test	.
just shape your feelings to hell with all the rest	(solo)
.	(repeat chorus 2x)
I gotta stay out of this race, tearing me down leaving no trace	.
the shadows that creep through the night inviting the touch	This Road
slipping and sliding away	music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton
.	.
pray - help me get through till dawn	you know I’m living the dream.
pray - when your breaking the fall	another sunrise and its not what it seems
.	blinded by hunger and the fear to learn
living the moment until I crash and burn	take down the message, there could be no return
those tired eyes of mine, will they never learn	.
roll back the nightmare, let the fantasy begin	I don’t feel nothing its as cold as ice.
.	I don’t feel nothing and I could make no choice
(solo) (pause) (chorus)	.
.	.this roads gonna carry me home
Did you Ever	I’m at the crossroads on the way to your soul
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton	no tide can take me away
.	I’m building bridges till the shadows remain
I don’t want to fight anymore	.
a sea of darkness all that’s left of your war	your in the air that I breathe
you don’t see the heartache and pain and i can’t feel the same	you’re my creation you fulfil every need
someday when the daydream has gone	another moment in time
your gonna need me there to carry on	you give ,me shelter, all I need to survive
one lie that could move into place….and i can’t feel the same	.
one day when the heartbreak remains….and i just got to say	you make me helpless and I'm just a man
.	no life surrender and I'm doing the best I can
did you ever	.
did you ever	this road’s gonna carry me home
did you ever….. feel this way	I'm at the crossroads on the way to your soul
did you ever	no tide can take me away
now or never	I'm building bridges till the shadows remain
did you ever …...see me cry
did you ever
did you ever
did you ever - say goodbye and I just got to say
.
right now as your walking away
no turning back, cos your lost in the haze
you built me up now your bringing me down as life circles around
so strange as the silence remains, reach on out
and make that change
(chorus)
(solo)
I don’t want to fight anymore
a sea of darkness all that left of your war
one lie that could move into place and i just got to say
(chorus 2x)
