HIgh above the heavens an moonlight Suspended in tar Growing safe in a blanket Sewn up with stars You are someone's miracle Aching to be You could have gone anywhere You came to me You Shine on Find Something Beautiful in everyone you shine on in your own way Some are raised by the lion Some by the wolf Should you ride in a carriage or pull by the hoof You Shine on Find Something Beautiful in everyone you shine on in your own way To learn to live you have to love To learn to love you have to give From you I can understand From a crack in the window A door ajar Guided by the sound of An out of tune guitar You step into the spotlight and looked up at me I cut your life line Set you free You Shine on Find Something Beautiful in everyone you shine on in your own way You Shine on Find Something Beautiful in everyone you shine on in your own way

Suddenly I Do Rise and shine Ms. Turpentine Here's a little peace of mind You can't savor a valentine If you find it's a waste of time You're enshrined all the time To me you only shine I still Cherish Solitude But every time I get close to you I sing a different tune I use to say I had my doubts when we use to scream it out I'm not sure what it's all about maybe you're just down and out I awoke to a beautiful change I rubbed my eyes you looked the same I wander through your solitude every time I get close to you I change my attitude Suddenly I do Want you in the morning Suddenly I do need you in the evening too Suddenly I do want every moment with you Rise and shine Ms. Turpentine Here's a little peace of mind Most people I still find do nothing but waste the time If you want an alibi how I can change my mind I still cherish solitude but every time I get close to you I sing a different tune Suddenly I do Want you in the morning Suddenly I do need you in the evening too Suddenly I do want every moment with you Here's a little peace of mind Suddenly I do Want you in the morning Suddenly I do need you in the evening too Suddenly I do want every moment with you

Tomorrow's Junk The clock strikes 6 but the hands stick a little and I'm always late (late again) You say, 'today is the day for change A new watch awaits'. You trust the hands of time I'm in the arms of fate. Like a fool I've traded in the old for the new like a fool I made my final stand out on the street with an old phonograph, a black and white screen and a used paperback I know if I stayed I'd end up here one day sharing the curb with a worn out trunk Tomorrow's Junk You've become possessed by your possessions and you grow tired The empty hole in your soul grows wider What have you acquired? scarcely more than kindling for the fire Like a fool I've traded in the old for the new like a fool I made my final stand out on the street with an old phonograph, a black and white screen and a used paperback I know if I stayed I'd end up here one day sharing the curb with a worn out trunk Tomorrow's Junk Like a fool I've traded in the old for the new like a fool I made my final stand out on the street with an old phonograph, a black and white screen and a used paperback I know if I stayed I'd end up here one day Like a radio that still longs to play A dog eared book with the underlined phrase sharing the curb with a worn out trunk Tomorrow's Junk
