Moody Blues (music)

I've been thinking
The way people do
'Bout the things that matter
To me and you
I've decided
To do what I can
And to find the kind of man
I really am

-- Moody Blues

Underneath
A sea of doubt
There's a million voices shouting
Let me out, let me out
When we go
We never return
'Cos there's just one lesson
That we got to learn
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
Say, say, say
Say it with love

-- Moody Blues

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We’re part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

-- Moody Blues

I don’t know what I’m searching for
I never have opened the door,
Tomorrow might find me at last,
Turning my back on the past,
But, time will tell, of stars that fell,
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
You can never go home anymore.

-- Moody Blues

All my life I never really knew me till today,
Now I know why, I’m just another step along the way

-- Moody Blues

I lie awake for hours, I’m just waiting for the sun.
When the journey we are making has begun,
Don’t deny the feeling that is stealing through your heart,
Every happy ending needs to have a start.

-- Moody Blues

Weep no more for treasures you’ve been searching for in vain.
’cos the truth is gently falling with the rain,
High above the forest lie the pastures of the sun,
Where the two that learned the secret are now one.

-- Moody Blues

A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home

-- Moody Blues

Watching and waiting
For someone to understand me
I hope it won't be very long

-- Moody Blues

Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea

-- Moody Blues

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation, against nation, against nation
With racial pride
Sounds...
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light
(shun the light)
They think they're right
(think they're right)
Living in their empty shells

-- Moody Blues

After he had journeyed,
And his feet were sore,
And he was tired,
He came upon an orange grove
And he rested
And he lay in the cool,
And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it,
And it was good.
And he felt the earth to his spine,
And he asked, and he saw the tree above him, and the stars,
And the veins in the leaf,
And the light, and the balance.
And he saw magnificent perfection,
Whereon he thought of himself in balance,
And he knew he was.

-- Moody Blues

Just open your eyes,
And realize, the way its always been.
Just open your mind
And you will find
The way its always been.
Just open your heart
And thats a start.

-- Moody Blues

And he thought of those he angered,
For he was not a violent man,
And he thought of those he hurt
For he was not a cruel man
And he thought of those he frightened
For he was not an evil man,
And he understood.
He understood himself.

-- Moody Blues

Upon this he saw that when he was of anger or knew hurt or felt fear,
It was because he was not understanding,
And he learned, compassion.

-- Moody Blues

And with his eye of compassion.
He saw his enemies like unto himself,
And he learned love.
Then, he was answered.

-- Moody Blues

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

-- Moody Blues

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
Thats what the wall of love is for.

-- Moody Blues

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And shes waiting there for me.

-- Moody Blues

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?

-- Moody Blues

How is it we are here, on this path we walk,
In this world of pointless fear, filled with empty talk,
Descending from the apes as scientist-priests all think,
Will they save us in the end, we're trembling on the brink.

-- Moody Blues

You keep looking for someone
To tell your troubles to,
Ill sit down and lend an ear
Yet I hear nothing new.

-- Moody Blues

I've been searching for my dream
A hunderd times today
I build them up, you knock them down,
Like they were made of clay,

-- Moody Blues
