The Prayer.
I pray you’ll be our eyes, and watch us where we go, And help us to be wise in times when we don’t know. Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way. Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace, To a place where we’ll be safe. La luce che tu hai, I pray we’ll find your light. Nel cuore resterà, And hold it in our hearts, A ricordarci che, When stars go out each night, L’eterna stella sei, Nella mia preghiera, Let this be our prayer, Quanta fede c’è When shadows fill our day, Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace. Give us faith so we’ll be safe. * Sogniamo un mondo senza più violenza, Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza, Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino, Simbolo di pace, di fraternità, La forza che ci dà. We ask that life be kind, È il desiderio che. And watch us from above. Ognuno trovi amor, We hope each soul will find, Intorno e dentro sé, Another soul to love. Let this be our prayer, let this be our prayer, Just like every child, just like every child. Need to find a place. Guide us with your grace. Give us faith so we’ll be safe. È la fede che, Hai acceso in noi, Sento che ci salvera.
END.
*Translation:We dream of a world without more violence, A world of justice and hope, Let each one shake hands with his neighbor, Symbol of peace, brotherhood, The strength it gives us.

Still in Love with You.
I get the same old feeling, Whenever I’m with you. What else can I do, I can’t help it. I can’t help it. I’m still in love with you, ooh.
I get the same old yearning, When you were by my side, A feeling I can’t hide. I can’t help it. I can’t help it. I can’t help it. Oh baby, I can’t help it, I’m still in love with you.
No one thrills me like you do. No one hurts as much as you. (In a long and lonely night) Well I wake up calling out your name, Since you’re gone babe, Nothing seems the same, No, no.
Nothing seems the same, baby. I can’t help it. I can’t help it, I’m still in love with you. Why don’t you listen to what I say now, No one thrills me like you do. No one hurts as much as you. (In a long and lonely night) Oh I wake up calling out your name, You know since you’ve gone, Babe, Nothing seems the same, believe me darling. Ooh, ooh.
I get the same old feeling, Whenever I’m with you. What am I, what am I, gonna do. I can’t help it. I can’t help it. I can’t help it. Oh baby, I can’t help it. I’m still in love with you. (Same old feeling) You know I’m still in love with you. (Same old feeling) Baby, baby, baby. (Same old feeling) You know I’m still in love, still in love with you. END

Dear Hate.
Dear Hate, I saw you on the news today, Like a shock that takes my breath away, You fall like rain, cover us in drops of pain, I’m afraid there we just might drown.
Dear Hate, Well, you sure are colour-blind. Your kiss is the cruellest kind, You could poison any mind, Just look at mine, Don’t know how this world keeps spinning around and around.
Chorus. You were there in the garden, like a snake in the grass, I see you in the morning staring through the looking glass, You whisper down through history and echo through these halls, But I hate to tell you, love’s gonna conquer us all.
Dear Hate, You were smiling from that Selma bridge, In Dallas, when that bullet hit and Jackie cried, You pulled those towers from the sky, But even on our darkest nights, The world keeps spinning around.
Repeat Chorus.
Dear Love, Just when I think you have given up, You were there in the garden when I ran from your voice, I hear you every morning through the chaos and the noise, You still whisper down through history and echo through these halls, Then tell me, love’s gonna conquer us all. Gonna conquer all.

May the Road Rise to Meet You.
Summertime the sun would shine, we’d lay out in the field, Sheltered in the shadow of a tree. We write our songs to take along, And sing out on the road, And you would always sing this song to me.
Chorus. May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be at your back, May the sun shine down warm upon your land, May the rain fall soft upon your face until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Autumn leaves would leave the trees, In colours on the ground. Swirling patterns beautiful to see. I’d lay my head down on your lap, I would not make a sound, And you would always sing this song to me.
Repeat Chorus.
In the winter days the trees would shiver in the wind, Waiting for the warming touch of spring, You’d hold me in the firelight. We’d stare into the flames, And this is what you always used to sing.
The lyrics, hereunder, were inspired by the novel ‘The Grapes of Wrath’, written by American writer (and winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize for Literature) the late John Steinbeck(1902-1968).

Here Comes That Rainbow Again.
The scene was a small roadside café. The waitress was sweeping the floor. Two truck drivers drinking their coffee, And two Okie* kids by the door. “How much are them candies?” They asked her. “How much have you got?” She replied. “We’ve only a penny between us”, “Them’s two for a penny,” she lied. And the daylight grew heavy with thunder, With the smell of the rain on the wind. Ain’t it just like a human? Here comes that rainbow again.
One truck driver called to the waitress, After the kids went outside. “Them candies ain’t two for a penny”. “So what’s it to you?” She replied. In silence they finished their coffee, Then got up and nodded goodbye. She called, “Hey, you left too much money”. “So what’s it to you?” They replied. And the daylight was heavy with thunder, With the smell of the rain on the wind. Ain’t it just like a human? Here comes that rainbow again.
