I walk through the night, a burning desire in me I'm searching for love, but this time where could she be Thoughts of a lady so fine, with blue in her eyes Just where will I find, the lady I have in my mind Fire burnin' in me Fire burnin' in me Just like a dream, I saw her when I was asleep But I know she's for real, cuz' somewhere this girl I did see Shining so bright, the lights of the city will show me The lady so fine, I have to satisfy my needs Fire burnin' in me Fire burnin' in me Where can she be, someone help me Somethin' told me to go into this place When I went inside, there she was right in my face And I said "hey you!", you're the one I'm searchin' for And she got scared, and ran right out the front door Fire burnin' in me Burnin' in me Burnin' in me Burnin' in me FIRE!

Woke up this morning, sweat poured down my face Couldn't shake this feelin', felt so out of place Was I really here or in my mind, take me back, to where my visions lie Things are happening, I see it in my dreams It drops the future right in front of me Good or bad, I see it every day, Destiny becomes my fate Waiting for the night Night approaches, anticipation grows My dreams will come, the secrets I will know And I can see the world within my mind, and I can see the future when I close my eyes And in the night, it's always there, that fatal vision come out from the air And tomorrow, I see it once again, destiny becomes my friend Waiting for the night Woke up this morning, sweat poured down my face Couldn't shake this feelin', felt so out of place Was I really here or in my mind, take me back, to where my visions lie Things are happening, I see it in my dreams, it drops the future right in front of me Good or bad, I see it every day, destiny becomes my fate Waiting for the night Just can't get away Waiting for the night, for the night, for the night for the night Waiting for the night Waiting for the night

I was sittin' home and thinkin', bout the times we had Bout all of the good times, though sometimes were bad Haven't seen your face, in so long but I can't let go But I had to call, just to let you know That baby tonight (baby tonight) Wanna feel your touch (wanna feel your touch) Baby tonight (baby tonight) Wanna feel your touch It sure seems funny, how time heals all wounds, yeah And I know I made some mistakes, but I still care about you And you're in my mind, wanna feel you close to me We'll forget all the bad times, and the jealousy That baby tonight (baby tonight) Wanna feel your touch (wanna feel your touch) Baby tonight (baby tonight) Wanna feel your touch It's nice to hear your voice, but you don't have to cry If you don't wanna talk to me, baby, we can just say goodbye Wanna hold you close, and just say it'll be alright Cause I want you near, all through the night That baby tonight (baby tonight) Wanna feel your touch (wanna feel your touch) Baby tonight (baby tonight) Wanna feel your touch

You'll find that sometimes, your fears can get you out of line And you don't know just where to turn Look around face the truth, and you'll find fear lookin' back at you, don't be afraid, 'cuz it's afraid of you Some people are afraid of the darkness, some are worried of what is unknown When you feel this think of what I say Never close your eyes, sometimes you have to see the light Never, never look away Faces in the dark, you can't have fire without a spark, demons that hide in the night Fear of walkin', fear of talkin', just can't seem to get away, Don't you know they're comin' after you? Why is there risk in taking chances? how does something good come out of bad? These are the words that you have to hear Never close your eyes, sometimes you have to see the light Never, never look away Times change, nothin' you can do, it's enough to scare the hell outta you Night-mares are things we all do see Fire burns, and water churns, don't touch the flames or you'll be burned You'll learn to face your enemies in time When you're about to face another, your heart is pounding out the time Face the truth, look at them and say Never close your eyes, sometimes you have to see the light Never, never look away Never close your eyes, sometimes you have to see the light Never, never look away

Creator of life can you hear, Oh I'm calling you Answer the questions that I bring before you, 'cuz I need to know the truth Why does the earth turn forever? (whoa) why does the sky have no ending? Why are we born, and we must die oh can you explain 'cuz I need to know why? I've lost someone who knew many answers, young one's calling, and I can't explain Why did it happen to be? the beginning and the end Won't you tell me why they must leave us, 'cuz I need to know the truth Now I am one as the teacher, why did it happen so quickly? I didn't have time to say bye and I can't understand it, how can it be? Time goes on for those of us to face it, life moves on and then it goes away Here are the answers you seek, the beginning IS the end You must reach your own destination, if you want to find the truth Time will bring us all together, somewhere amongst all the heavens The cycle of life brings us pleasure and pain is it all just a game we will see The cycle of life goes on and on The cycle of life goes on and on The cycle of life goes on and on The cycle of life goes on and on

Time to Tell A child is born in a world full of confusion An answer to a dream but he must lean of disillusion The survival of life is more than just a test There is work to be done before he's laid to rest We must learn from our mistake, and get the goin' straight Live and learn, love and laugh, before it's too late Time to let your feelings show Time to tell, don't wait until tomorrow Time, Time to tell Just a white pebble, you're one amongst the millions Yeah The babe grows older and begins to show that he has feelings, yes, he does But others warn not to look into inner meanings Then his mind starts to change, how others seem to shape He needs to know direction before it's too late His mind is too precious, not a thing to waste So, open your eyes and listen to what I say Time- to let your feelings show Time to tell- don't wait until tomorrow Time-Time to tell Just a white pebble, you're one amongst the millions The adolescent has made it through so many changes Through many roadblocks, he made it through and rearranged them And all I am saying is give life your best There might be a meaning, but we don't know it yet So, voice your opinion, stick out from the crowd Let's help everybody, we can be proud Time to let your feelings show Time to tell, don't wait until tomorrow Time, Time to tell Just a white pebble, you're one amongst the millions Time to let your feelings show Time to tell, don't wait until tomorrow Time, Time to tell Just a white pebble, you're one amongst the million other ones
