I have walked all the earth
To find a solution
Now it’s time for the birth
Of a new revolution

Our mother world is dyin’
The children are all cryin’
They just keep on denyin’
Oh no no
What God has made is being laid to waste
No no

(Chorus 1)
So I’m giving my all today
I won’t give up, I’ll find a way

So many tears I’ve cried
With all the sufferin’ worldwide
Now I’m going to pick a fight
To those who won’t do right

I’ll be knockin’ into your brain
Have we all just gone insane?
It’s a wake up call for change
Oh yeah yeah
If we don’t act now, it might be too late
Uh huh

(Chorus 2)
I’m giving my all today
(A new revolution)
I won't give up, I'll find a way
(A new revolution)
I’m giving my heart away
(A new revolution)
And spread this love along the way

(Ukulele solo)

(Bridge)
Gotta save mother nature
Our children need a future
Let’s all come together
So our children won’t suffer no more

(Chorus 2)

Take the pain away
Take the pain away, Yahweh!
(Fade out)

Gone

Staring at the clock
Waiting for you, waiting for you
Think it’s been an hour
An hour or two
As I watch the sun go down
Sink into the sea
Then my phone rang
They said they’re so sorry you are gone

(Chorus)
You are gone

The light of day said goodbye
I couldn’t help but cry
Why'd you have to go
You said we’d grow old together
Now I’m all alone 
I have to face this world on my own
You’re all that mattered
But now you’re so far and oh so gone

(Chorus)
So gone

(Bridge)
I look back on the memories
It’s all I got
It’s  what you left with me
I’m picking up the pieces
I’m picking up the pieces
I’m picking up the pieces
From here

It’s been many years
Since you became an angel in the sky
And though I miss you so
I couldn’t help but feel high
Cos I know someday
We’ll be together, be together
And live in that beach hut up in heaven forever

(Outro Chorus)
Forever and ever
Forever.

Gone

Midlife Crisis

Hey, you sitting there
You’ve been stuck on that chair
Hangin’ around this musty bar
Your mind’s been drifting so far

Into the cracks of your soul
Into the pits of lost control

Seems everyone’s way ahead
You might as well be better off dead
Just when you thought you’ve seen the light
Then you’re struck by fear’s delight

Into the core of your heart
Into the wound, strikes a dart

You’re spinning, spinning downward
You’re fighting, struggling upward
You’re movin’, movin’ backward
As the universe goes forward

You’re movin’ backward
They’re going forward
You’re movin’ backward

Outta time
Caught in a bind
You’ve been so blind
You’re losin’ your mind

Outta time
Caught in a bind
Committed a crime
You’re losin’ your mind

Hey, you sitting there
You’ve been stuck on that chair.
