Bella's Birthday Cake lyrics - Five For Fighting
Bella played the bridge every second loneliest night of the year
Took a certain liking to a fellow there - Bella
She said I brought her back to some old better man - fellah
Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Like Lightning, Like Fire
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning...
Bella made her bed in red every loneliest night of the year
Tied me to the rages of her rocking chair - Bella
Fed me quiet offer through her ever wares - I'll tell ya
Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Like Lightning, Like Fire
Bella's Birthday Cake was burning
Ever yearning Forest Fire
and all of her lines she left unread
"spirits and battles won," she said
and over her mountian tops she ground me off
where...I can't remember...
Bella played the bridge on the second loneliest night of the year
Bella she was born today...
BELLA'S Birthday Cake was burning
Bella's BIRTHDAY Cake was burning
Bella's Birthday CAKE was burning
Bella's Birthday Cake was BURNING...50 years gone.
Day By Day lyrics - Five For Fighting
Day by Day I wake up for you I do
and I rise to who knows who
well if I can say...some other day
Day by Day I reach out to you I do
and I pretend there's something to it
And if I can say...I've had better days
Day by Day I resort to you I do
and I wash up after you're through
If I can say...that's O.K.
You're in my head again
You're in my bed again
You're in my mirror again
And if you don't mind me...I don't mind you
Day by Day I reflect on you I do
I reflect on you I do
The Garden lyrics - Five For Fighting
Do you believe in the man in the garden
Do you believe that he was there
Do you believe in the man in the garden
Do you believe or do you care
Did he rise from the ashes and lead the sky above
Did he lie in the name of love
....in the garden
Do you believe in the path that you follow
Do you believe it takes you where you want
Do you believe in the lies that you swallow
Do you believe it takes you where you go
See the man. He never lies he never will
Did he fight for the right to kill
....in the garden
....in the garden
There's a little man in a house alone...waiting
He doesn't lie.
He doesn't wait for love to hold on to
He doesn't lie. He doesn't wait...
Johnny's in the garden
I see the err in my ways
....in the garden
Do you believe in the man in the garden
Ocean lyrics - Five For Fighting
I got a thing for fish with no eyes
Who swim deep in the sea
With nothing to see
I've got a thing for mountians of sand
Left all to their own
To quietly stand
won't you help me now...
Take me to the bottom of...
Take me to the bottom of...
Take me to the bottom of...the ocean
I got a thing for mermaiden tails
Swim naked with me
Your hair of seaweed
I got a thing for sunken shipwrecks
With booty of gold
I don't care if it's wet
won't you help me now...
Take me to the bottom of...
Take me to the bottom of...
Take me to the bottom of...the ocean
I don't need no air.
Happy lyrics - Five For Fighting
Big Daddy's in the back seat taking to the Mammas
God don't the world smell good today
I'm bigger than a fruitcake
Smaller than your honor
A farmer for a daughter..HEY
Love Song lyrics - Five For Fighting
Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes.
Put away your bullshit.
Big Boys they don't cry to their mammas.
She'll be back soon.
Put away your rain coat and make your bed.
Take another bullet right to your head now.
We're going on a picnic
and we'll get there soon.
And she says maybe it's over.
And he says, there's plenty more fish in the sea
But I say, don't go away...from me.
So put away your dinner and have a snack.
Tie your little brother up in a sack.
We're moving to the country
And we'll get there soon.
Pack up all the things that you don't deserve.
Take another swing, well here comes a curve ball.
I betcha can't hit it
Cause you'll swing too soon.
And she says maybe it's over.
And he says, there's plenty more fish in the sea.
But I say, Don't go away...
Don't go away...
Please don't go away...from me
But can you take it to heart...
I'll never leave...
So take those damn pictures off of that shelf.
Put away your mommy. You don't need her.
I found you a new one.
And she'll be here soon.
And she says, My God it's over.
And he says, I found another fish in the sea
But I say, why me...why me
why...is it me?
White Picket Fence lyrics - Five For Fighting
I've cut off the curls
I shaved half my face
Became half the man you asked to replace.
I'm willing to save you
You said you're worth saving
But half of my appetite's lost half it's craving
Stand in the mirror
That's me beside you
The one with the smile, the one who abides you.
Don't mind the madman
The killer, the lover
He's slowly fading one into the other.
Where is that white picket fence
That I painted myself in the late days of April?
Where are the daffodil mountians?
I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.
You say that you're happy
Well you should know better
I see that you've sewn up that rip in your sweater
That some lover tore off you
That left you both shaking
That bled deep inside you the wound you'd forsaken
Where is that white picket fence
That I painted myself in the late days of April?
Where are the daffodil mountians?
I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.
Don't fear I will save you
Don't shout you'll awaken
The corpse in the desert staked out beside you
I cut off his wing
And shaved half his face
But I thought that I saw his eyes...move
2 Frogs lyrics - Five For Fighting
I sing above my vision. I sing above my face.
A fat old amphibian speaker for the dead.
Gather round ye animals. Gather round this lake.
Take upon your vigil. Wallow in the wake.
It was glorious of glories-a maple April day
With a pocket full of horseflies and eyes as bright as rays
They said walk away walk away if you can
but one leap out the village and our caravan began
Traveled to a forest, nestled in the sky.
He ran beside the buffalo-wrestled with the lions
Every day a saturday, a summer waking morn,
His skin burned golden ember due the shine that toad had born.
While riding back an eagle, laughing with the sun
He spied an old hairy fairy man upon the river Young.
and Sol said, fly away fly away if you can
But he settled next the oarsman, said I'm my own man and this is my life...
Heed above my meter, Heed above my fate. Can't go back again...
I got a reason to be fevered-summer waking morn.
Back back when the poor poor boy was born.
Now cross into his fortune. While enchanted by the queen.
A lone shady shelter stood beckoning his lean.
And in the time it takes a pillow to figure out a face.
Out from in the white tree she rose to take its place.
And the battle for his spirit then caused him to remain.
And he fought as a thousand Visigoths and he cursed the night in vain.
She said run away run away if you can
But last he heard a voice of...I'm my own man and this is my life...
Off to in her castle, laid upon the stairs
She showered him with daffodils and tied ribbons in his hair.
He woke for bare a moment but she wouldn't let him weep.
With lips of only roses kissed him down to sleep.
So royal loyal subjects now let your ears unbend.
For here ye this traveled tail must sadly meet it's end.
What's fate done to our hero I cannot reply...
The last that I saw him, a flection in her eye.
10 Miles From Nowhere lyrics - Five For Fighting
How have you been
in the shape you were in
I'm suprised that you got where you're going
Who would believe
What a date you would be
If I knew I'd have thought about knowing
And in between now and the last time we met
I'd open the door if I met you again
And I swear that we'd be better/fair ever friends
From here until 10 miles from nowhere
What is that there
In your brown paper box
I can see that you kept all the memories we'd lost
I'd sworn it was you
Who was destined and gone
To the pressure of past undertakings
Had I had known that it might have been me
I might have returned a letter or three
Or gave you a call from the sanctuary
for the cracks in these walls tell time for a fee
From here until 10...
From now until 10...miles from nowhere
The Last Great American lyrics - Five For Fighting
Mr. Merry cries in his coffin for days he says he can remember
And through the town some pallbearers sing old songs of a beautiful
and purple mountian
From every walk of life we've come to see the last great American
So may I now present you the speaker
....friends he was a man of men, yeah a man of gold
....he had a (how to you say) ethical like sense
That's when the President started to giggle
Then the children gave the blessing
though the service weren't half done
each of them sued the other one...for the last great American
Wait...Time for my coffin
Wait...Time for my break
Wait...Time for my coffin
Merry reaches up and we bow our heads
Pulls the lid on down and his stone is read
Here lies our Merry
The man with the heart so spent
That in this day in age
is sick of living
Still judges argue letters
And fabric comes undone
For every daughter...every son..of the last great American
(European B-Side) lyrics - Five For Fighting
Finally in the meantime since you paid for my room
I thought I'd write the European B-side or 2
See Mr. Merry's in the garden
Trying to tie his high top shoes
Johnny's off of daff-dill mountian
Praying for the news
and Oh what a piece I am
if you'd...be my friend
Thanks to all that you made me replace
For all you gave to me you left on my face
See Mr. Merry is the garden
Bella's taking ludes
Daddy's off without a pardon
But nothing left to lose
and Oh what a piece I am
Oh what a piece I am
If you'd...be my friend
if you
would you
be my friend
All I Know lyrics - Five For Fighting
(originally by Art Garfunkel)
(from "Chicken Little" soundtrack)
I bruise you
You bruise me
We both bruise so easily
Too easily
To let it show
I love you
And that's all I know
All my plans
Keep falling through
All my plans they
Depend on you
Depend on you
To help them grow
I love you
And that's all I know
When the singer's gone
Let the song go on
It's a fine line between
The darkness and the dawn
They say in the darkest night
There's a light beyond
And the ending always
Comes at last
Endings always
Come too fast
They come too fast and they
Pass too slow
I love you
And that's all
It's really all I know
It's all I know
It's all
I know
Amazing Grace (Live From Grace Notes) lyrics - Five For Fighting
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see
Blood On My Hands lyrics - Five For Fighting
Got blood on my hands
Got blood on my hands
And I don't understand
What's happening
There's blood on these hands
And still American's
Left to the Taliban
Now how's that happening?
Winkin' Blinken
Can't you look me in the eyes
Willy Milley
Tell me when did you decide
This we'll defend
Your sacred motto
Now means... never mind
Hands
Got blood on my hands
Got blood on my hands
Flag of the Taliban
Over Afghanistan
General Austin is there no honor in shame?
Can you spell Bagram without the letters in blame?
Did Uncle Joe stick a drip in your veins?
Hands
I can't hear her scream if she's not, she's not
She's not on TV
I can't hear him scream if he's not, he's not
He's not on TV
To every Afghan ally that we left behind
Every child who won't know freedom
Faces covered and blind
As for this American promise
Now... shit in the Fire
Hands
Got blood on our hands
Hey Joe, just one American
Asking what's happening
Can One Man Save The World? lyrics - Five For Fighting
Who is this comedian?
His audience more mice than men
This superman Ukrainian
I don't know
Great-grandson of the Holocaust
An eastern heart the west has lost
Nail or carry up his cross
I don't know
But he's got everyone thinking
Yeah, he's got all of us thinking
Can one man save the world?
In a thousand years
Will they say your name
Or is this all in vain?
Can one man save the world?
Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand?
Still in the end
Can one man save the world?
Olena pulls him to her breast
The bear, the devil, stabs their chest
Can one embrace raise the oppressed?
I don't know
Does freedom still have appetite?
Is there the will, the goods to fight?
Can a single flame light up the night?
I don't know
Yeah, but he's got you all thinking
'Cause everyone's thinking
Can one man save the world?
In a thousand years
Will they say your name
Or is this all in vain?
Can one man save the world?
Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand?
Still in the end
Can one man save the world?
"Am I alone in this?" He says
"Am I alone in this?" He says
Are we alone?
In a thousand years
Will they know your name?
Can one man save the world?
Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand?
Still in the end
Can one man save the world?
Will you take my hand?
Raise up lesser men
In the end...
Who is this comedian?
This steel that is Ukrainian
We die, but maybe live again
Can one man save the world?
China On The Horizon lyrics - Five For Fighting
Take a sail on a big ship, head west till you stop
You'll find a razor in your brown paper cup
Her eyes are diamonds, and she smiles like a clown
She knows what you need before you turn around
China (China)
Is on the Horizon (China)
She will take you out, turn you inside, leave you flat on your back
She'll put your heart in high state of attack
She comes with roses, but she's nearly insane
The boys on Wall Street, you can bet all know her name
China (China)
Is on the Horizon (China)
China (China)
Is on the Horizon (China)
China (China)
Is on the Horizon (China)
China (China)
Is on the Horizon (China)
(China)
(China)
Christmas Where You Are lyrics - Jim Brickman (feat. Five for Fighting)
There are stockings full and waiting
From sea to shining sea
Jingle bells a ringing
In keys of liberty
Children celebrating
Santa and his sleigh
Of reindeer who found their way again
Across the home, home of the brave
Tis the 25th day of December
In a season best to remember
That blessings and bows and mistletoes
Are not without tolls, guardian souls
A soldier has a soldier's duty
That takes no holiday
So because you're far from home this winter
There's one thing I'd like to say
Thank you for the gift of freedom
That lights these holy stars
Thank you for each and every Christmas tree
Across this sacred land of ours
May angels fly beside you
May Heaven steal your hearts
May God remind you in his grace
Though tonight I cannot touch your face
It doesn't matter if you're near or far
It's Christmas where you are
Your chair is empty at the table
Still I take your hand
As we pray for peace in this small world
On our knees we stand
Of this body of this nation
You are the heart and spine
So to each great generation
Of heroes down the line
Thank you for the gift of freedom
That lights these holy stars
Thank you for each and every Christmas tree
Across this sacred land of ours
May angels fly beside you
May Heaven steel your heart
May God remind you in his grace
Though tonight I cannot touch your face
It doesn't matter if you're near or far
It's Christmas where you are
Everyday is memorial day
Every day the 4th of July
Let all religions celebrate
The freedom that you provide
For if we stand together
We will never fall
Merry Christmas to the one I love
Merry Christmas to one and all
Thank you for the gift of freedom
That lights these holy stars
Thank you for each and every Christmas tree
Across this sacred land of ours
May angels fly beside you
May Heaven steel your heart
May God remind you in his grace
Though tonight I cannot touch your face
When home seems a hundred million miles away
Just close your eyes and you will see his sleigh
It's doesn't matter if you're near or far
It's Christmas where you are
Hello It's Me lyrics - Five For Fighting
Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much
But something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
Spend the night if you think I should (It's important to me)
Spend the night if you think I should (It's important to me)
Spend the night if you think I should (Important to me)
Spend the night if you think I should
OK lyrics - Five For Fighting
We're gonna give you four words
We are not alright
We are not alright
When we see young girls
Pulled from their home
And dragged to the streets
When we see grandmothers
Being pulled away
And children shot in front of they family's
We are not all right
When right here
In the city of New York
You have those who celebrate
At the same time
When the devastation is taking place
This is a time for choosing
This is a time to mourn
The moral man is losing
Forbidden, lost for long
I don't understand
I don't understand
How you can look yourself
In the mirror
I don't understand
I don't understand
How did that blood flood your eyes
We, we are, we are not
We, we are, we are not
Ok (he-ehe, he-hei, ei)
Ok (he-ehe, he-hei, ei)
Yeah, hide behind your babies
Yeah, hide behind your kid
The Harvard hands has rabies
They'd hold acost again
I don't understand
I don't understand (I don't understand)
How you can look yourself in the mirror
I don't understand
I don't understand (I don't understand)
How did that blood spill from your eyes
We, we are, we are not
We, we are, we are not
Ok (he-ehe, he-hei, ei)
Ok (he-ehe, he-hei, ei)
Evils on the march
Evils on the march
Time to face the test (he-hei)
Evils on the march
Evils on the march
Need every good woman
Every good man
We, we are, we are not
We, we are, we are not
Ok, ok, ok, ok (we, we are, we are not)
Ok, ok, ok, ok (we, we are, we are not)
Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok
Ok!
Song For The Innocents lyrics - Five For Fighting
Who is that calling out
Who's that crying
Do you wonder
Where do the guiltless go
Do angels know
Mother - Father
I have no gun
Sweet Guardian
Where should I go?
Where should I go?
We are the Innocents
We are the Innocents
The righteous
Unimpeachable
We are the Innocents
We are the Innocents
We are you
Who is that watching out
Who's the hero
Do you wonder
Where do the guilty go
Do devils know
Mother - Father
I have no gun
Sweet Guardian
Where should I go
Tell me you know
We are the Innocents
We are the Innocents
The righteous
Unimpeachable
We are the Innocents
We are the Innocents
And we are you
We are the Innocents
We are the Innocents
The righteous
Unimpeachable
We are the Innocents
We are the Innocents
We are
We are…
