there are many ways (To live there) in the sun or shade (Together) we will find a place (To settle) where there’s so much space (Without rush) and the pace back east (The hustling) rustling just to feed (I know I’m) ready to leave too (So that’s what) we are gonna do (What we’re gonna do is)
life is peaceful there (Go west) there in the open air (Go west) where the skies are blue (Go west) this is what we’re gonna do (Life is peaceful there) Go west (in the open air) Go west (baby, you and me) Go west (this is our destiny) Come on, come on, come on, come on (Go west) sun in wintertime (Go west) we will feel just fine (Go west) where the skies are blue (Go west) this is what we’re gonna do (Come on, come on, come on)

Calling up the promised land Johnny Seven’s coming over the sea He’s taking your time When you want to be free
Holding out a helping hand Are you ready for a real career Will you be so cool When it’s happening here
It don’t say nothing that I haven’t heard If what I hear is true You won’t keep the law with a broken word So what are you gonna do
Heart like a wheel Turning away From anything that’s real Heart like a wheel Changing in time Beating colder steel
Pass the message around the world The medium is in retreat The power is here And packing some heat
Sell your soul to a holy war Set the captive free We make no promises anymore But it isn’t fooling me
Heart like a wheel Turning away From anything that’s real Heart like a wheel Changing in time Beating colder steel
You can’t keep the wheels turning anymore With anger, blood, and fear Or make any friends with an M16 When you blast your way through her
Ohhhh
Heart like a wheel Turning away From anything that’s real Heart like a wheel Changing in time Beating colder steel
Heart like a wheel Turning away From anything that’s real Heart like a wheel Changing in time Beating colder steel
Heart like a wheel Turning away From anything that’s real Heart like a wheel Driving the world Is gonna be a steal

Jesus to a Child Album: Older Date: 1996 Genre: Pop
Lyrics by George Michael
Kindness In your eyes, I guess You heard me cry You smiled at me Like Jesus to a child
I’m blessed I know Heaven sent And Heaven stole You smiled at me Like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned From all this pain I thought I’d never feel the same About anyone Or anything again
But now I know When you find your love When you know that it exists Then the lover that you miss Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you’ve been loved When you know it holds such bliss Then the lover that you kissed Will comfort you when there’s no hope in sight
Sadness In my eyes No one guessed Or no one tried You smiled at me Like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold With your last breath You saved my soul You smiled at me Like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned From all these tears I’ve waited for you all those years And just when it began He took you away
But I still say When you find love When you know that it exists Then the lover that you miss Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you’ve been loved When you know it holds such bliss Then the lover that you kissed Will comfort you when there’s no hope in sight
So the words you could not say I’ll sing them for you And the love we would have made I’ll make it for two
For every single memory Has become a part of me You will always be My love
Well, I’ve been loved So I know just what love is And the lover that I kissed Is always by my side
