Album Information
Take Your Chances
Justin Hayward
The secret that you keep
Is hidden way down deep
I see it in the window of your soul
I hear it in your voice
I feel it in your touch
The love that's in your heart you can control
So take your chances
Let's not pretend
'Cause we may never
Pass this way again
The pleasures of the night
The darkness and the light
It's hard to see the writing on the wall
I hear it in your voice
I feel it in your touch
I see it through the window of your soul
So take your chances
Let's not pretend
'Cause we may never
Pass this way again
Is It Just A Game
Justin Hayward
The world is a lonely place
But I soon found out
That love was the saving grace
I know that once in a thousand years
There will come a time
When joy will replace our fears
And you and I
Will fly away together
Is it just a game that we're playing now?
Were we born to win? Can we lose somehow?
*Does it all come down to what we've done before?
*Is it truth and love that we're searching for?
The world is a lonely place
And the rain that falls
Like tears running down your face
I know that once I can feel
The sun shining down on me
I'll run to your warm embrace
And you and I
Will fly away together
Is it just a game that we're playing now?
Were we born to win? Can we lose somehow?
*Does it all come down to what we've done before?
*Is it peace and love that we're searching for?
The world is a lonely place
Is it just a game that we're playing now?
Were we born to win? Can we lose somehow?
Does it all come down to what we've done before?
Is it peace and love that we're searching for?
The truth may be hard to find
But then love is blind
*These lines are not found on the LP (Towerbell) version
One Again
Justin Hayward
Why worry?
It's alright
I'm with you through the night
I've listened to your dreams
I feel the presence that you've seen
Step out of the darkness
And into the light
The words of the promise
That was made were right
No tears and no troubles
No heartache, no pain
I know that we're going to be one again
Still waters run so deep
The world listens when you speak
One nation of the free
All believing that there'll be
No troubles and no hunger
No heartache, no pain
I know that we're living to be one again
Walk out of the darkness and into the sun
And wake to the morning when we live as one
Step out of the darkness and into the light
The fire that we've kindled is still burning bright
The dawn of tomorrow comes back to today
We'll capture that moment, and we'll fly away
Moving Mountains
Justin Hayward
The cool of the evening
The strange unknown of the night
The warmth of the morning
The graceful bird in its flight
Well don't be afraid of the world
Let me take you by the hand
We can move mountains
The gift of tomorrow
The friends we've left far behind
The ones we remember
Their love will live in our minds
Well don't turn around
Don't look back
Let me take you by the hand
We can move mountains
Cause the sands of time
Are on our side
Put your hand in mine
Let our fortunes ride
We'll sail away
On a wave of love
Let the four winds blow
From heaven above
The wind on the water seems
To whisper soft in my ear
The call of the ocean
Across the waves I can hear
Don't be afraid of the world
Let me take you by the hand
We can move mountains
Cause the sands of time
Are on our side
Put your hand in mine
Let our fortunes ride
We'll sail away
On a wave of love
Let the four winds blow
>From heaven above
Silverbird
Justin Hayward and Jeff Wayne
I can understand the rain that falls
Waves that crash upon the shore
And I know that everyone
Must have freedom today
And baby, in my dreams I see
I see you walking away
I can understand the moon and stars
Wonders of this world of ours
And I see the fire of life
Burning brighter each day
And baby, in my dreams I see
I see you walking away
So far away
I see you walking away
So fly, my silverbird
You know that I
Am waiting for you
And everywhere you go
I'm with you still
I know you will
Return someday
Through the rain and the snow
Whe there's nowhere left to go
I hope you'll say:
"Oh darling, now I understand and I'm home
To stay"
When I close my eyes, I see you there
In everyone and everywhere
And I feel the power of love
Like an ocean today
And baby, in my dreams I see
I see you walking away
So far away
I see you walking away
So fly, my silverbird
You know that I
Am waiting for you
And everywhere you go
I'm with you still
I know you will
Return someday
Through the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere left to go
I hope you'll say:
"Oh darling, now I understand and I'm home
To stay"
So fly, my silverbird
You know that I
Am waiting for you
And everywhere you go
I'm with you still
I know you will
Return someday
Through the rain
And the snow
When there's nowhere left to go
I hope you'll say:
"Oh darling, now I understand and I'm home
To stay"
Through the rain
And the snow
Where there's nowhere left to go
I hope you'll say:
"Oh darling, now I understand and I'm home
To stay"

Lost And Found
Justin Hayward
I was lost
I was wandering in the dark
I was searching for the spark
That would light my life
I was lost
I didn't know where I was from
I was always on the run
Trying to find myself
I was out on my own
Then you brought me back home
I was lost but now I'm found
I'm so glad that you're around
To shelter me
I was lost
I didn't know the words to say
I just couldn't find a way
To express myself
I was blind
I just couldn't read my mind
I didn't know what I would find
When I met myself
I was out on my own
Then you brought me back home
I was lost
But now I'm found
I thank God that you're around
To shelter me
I love the way you tell me
That you love me, yes I do
And I love the way you ask me
If I love you, yes I do
I was lost
There was so much I had to learn
I didn't know which way to turn
Till I turned to you
I was wrong
I should have seen it all along
I couldn't find where I belonged
'till I belonged to you
I was out on my own
Then you brought me back home
I was lost
But now I'm found
I thank God that you're around
To shelter me
Goodbye
Justin Hayward
Over and over
I keep going over
The things that you said
Then walked out of my life
The chain has been broken
The words have been spoken
The door it is open
And waiting for you
Somewhere there's a reason
There's a reason why
Why love has to falter
Why love has to die
And I know
Somewhere there's an answer
But it can't tell me
What I need to hear
What I need to see, and I go
Over and over
I keep going over
The things that you said
Then walked out of my life
Goodbye is all that comes to me
Goodbye is all I can hear
So long, it seems so long to me now
Somewhere in the distance
There's a child who sees
Looking for a reason
Looking to be free, and I know
Somewhere there's an answer
But it can't tell me
What I need to hear
What I need to see, and I go
Over and over
The things that you said
Then walked out of my life
Goodbye is all that comes to me
Goodbye is all I can hear
So long, it seems so long for me now
Who Knows
Justin Hayward
Sometimes I find myself searching
As I walk the streets all alone
Searching the faces for someone
Someone to take me back home
Back home
Who knows where the future leads us?
The waters are wide, the road is long
I pray for a hand to guide us
And welcome us back where we belong
So many miles come between us
And fate seems to keep us apart
Fortune once brought us together
Is there a still a place in your heart?
In your heart
Someday when my journey's over
I'll come stumbling back to you, my love
And I know when the circle's broken
I'll come tumbling back to you, my love
But I long for the day
I can call you and say
I'm a step on the way back to you
Sometimes I find myself searching
As I walk the streets all alone
I'm searching the faces for someone
Someone to take me back home
Back home
Who knows what the morning brings us?
The moment of truth, the power of love
I know where the future leads me
It's leading me back to you, my love
The Best Is Yet To Come
Clifford T. Ward
Where did we go wrong?
We had all the magic to put us on our way
And all the tragedy that we ever want to see
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
Where did we go wrong?
Was it so enlightening we couldn't find our way?
All so frightening
We couldn't see which move to make
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And if you leave me now
Like you say you might
Oh please don't leave me now
'Cause I know, if you do
None of this will come true, so
Where do we go now?
Now your heart is aching
And leading you astray
Me, I'm burning up
Tryin' to get you to stay
'Cause you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And you know the best is still to come
And if you leave me now
Like you say you might
Oh please don't leave me now
'Cause I know, if you do
None of this will come true, so
Where did we go wrong?
We had all the magic
To put us on our way
And all the tragedy
That we ever want to see
But you know I'm right
When I say the best is yet to come
And you know the best is yet to come

BONUS TRACK RELEASED ON CD
The Lights Are Low
Justin Hayward
The lights are low
And the music now is slow
And we ask the night
How can this be wrong and feel so right?
They say it's true
I'm a fool to trust in you
But then who are they
Who are they to know?
I need you so
Did you ever look in the mirror
And see a stranger standing there?
Did you ever drive for miles and miles
And wonder how on earth you got yourself there?
I feel your magic as we move and sway
Seems like my self-control is slipping away
Let me taste the love
Let me drink the wine
That's yours and mine
Did you ever wake up in the morning
To find that nothing
Nothing was the same
And the only thing that really matters
Is the pleasure and the pain
The lights are low
And the music now is slow
And we ask the night
How can this be wrong, and feel so right?
