A friday tribute to Seal


"I'm Alive"

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
Fell on my feet this morning.
Two angels heard me cry...
This is your fate hereafter.
The future is my friend.
It hurts, but it treats me well.
Take hold and be it's master.
Gold as the sun,
As you turn me on.
And bath in it's sun red,
I'm alive, older and strong.
Let me be someone.
I'll take hold and be it's master.
Gold as the sun,
As you turn me on.
With echoes of laughter.
As I cry out loud...
Got my feet on the ground.
Your hand's found me.
Saw my blood on the ground
And it changed my life
So many parts that I have to play.
A tangle with life set me up that way,
Now I know,
These are the words that I have to say.
Won't you let me...
Won't you hear me cry...
Got my feet on the ground,
...feet on the ground.
Your hand's falling'...
Saw my blood on the ground,
And it changed my life...
Your face in the crowd,
You're my future.
Saw my blood on the ground.
And it changed my life...
Got my feet on the ground.
...feet on the ground.
Your hand's found me...
Blood on the cross,
And it changed my life...
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Fell on my feet this mornin'...

4. Bring it on
No not that one...

Flashback with Bees

Twas the night before Christmas

Bring it on
At first I didn't have the will to carry on
Illusions in my mind
Like that picture when you feel you can't go on
Like you've been left behind
Life goes on, now
Take me to that funky place where you and I were born.
Carry on, now
Psychedlic tendencies of love will bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on, Bring it on
Don't wait until tomorrow
Bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Give me something for the dream that I am in
You know I love the way you save me
A broken pawn,
I depended on.
Was only life, I was feeling
It goes on, now
Take me to that funky place where you and I were born
Carry on, now
Ain't no reason you should feel for shorn,
Unconditioned love will bring it on
Bring it on
Bring it on
Don't wait until tomorrow
Wait until tomorrow
Bring it on
...Bring it on....
...Bring it on....
Unconditioned love will bring it on
So what lies under.
Is your kingdom come?
Chase it way,
Down low.
It's only life.
Don't wait until tomorrow.
Don't wait until tomorrow.
Don't wait until tomorrow.
Don't wait until,
Wait until tomorrow.
Bring it on, bring it on bring it on
Bring it on

7. Prayer For The Dying Lyrics

sock puppets and incidential video


Prayer For The Dying Lyrics


Fearless people,
Careless needle.
Harsh words spoken,
And lives are broken.
Forceful ageing,
Help me I'm fading.
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on.
Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
Just say die,
And that would be pessimistic.
In your mind,
We can walk across water.
Please don't cry,
It's just a prayer for the dying.
I just don't know what's got into me.
Been crossin' that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through,
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
There is a light through that window
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Life carries on
Ohh!
It goes on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho oh...
I'm crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned....
I'm playing with fire,
And not getting burned....
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
There is a light through that window.
Hold on say yes, while people say no
Cause life carries on....oh-ee-oh, whoa-ee-oh ho on...
It goes on....oh-ee-on,
It goes on.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Life carries on.
When nothing else matters.
When nothing else matters.
I just don't know what's got into me.
It's just a prayer for the dying.
For the dying.

8. Dreaming In Metaphors
Love serenade,
Soothe me with the morning sun.
Help me find someone,
Peaceful and non-judgemental.
Holdin' me back,
And make me feel whole with life.
And stay the same.
Life.
Without the pain.
Why must we dream in metaphors?
Try to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand.
And why must we argue loudly?
When peace is our one salvation.
I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Yeah...
Ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh ohh
Someone lost their faith in, seeking God so they.
Turn to the needle, back to the cradle. They were...
Rocking it all too long.
Tell me what's going on with your life.
Has it stayed the same?
Well why do we dream in metaphors?
Try to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand.
Tell me why must we argue loudly? When peace is our one,
Salvation I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Yeah
Ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh ohhh...
Life will always stay the same
Life stay the same
Life will ease your pain
...life without no......pain or shame...
Why must we dream in metaphors?
We're trying to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand
Tell me why must we argue loudly when peace is our one
Salvation I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Now why must we dream in metaphors
Something that's lost
...couldn't understand stand stand, I couldn't understand.
And you know I know I couldn't understand I just couldn't
understand.
...Couldn't understand stand stand, I couldn't understand.
And you know I couldn't understand, I just couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand,
I just couldn't understand
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand,
I just couldn't understand
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand,
I just...

10. Don't Cry Lyrics

Reflection


Don't Cry Lyrics


Don't be so hard on yourself.
Those tears are for someone else.
I hear your voice on the phone.
I hear you feel so alone.
My baby.
Ohh my baby.
Please my baby,
My baby,
When we were young,
And truth was paramount.
We were older then,
And we lived our life without any doubt.
Those memories,
They seem so long ago.
What's become of them? When you feel like me I want you to know.
Don't cry.
You're not alone.
Don't cry,
Tonight, my baby.
Don't cry,
You'll always be loved.
Don't cry,
Tonight.
My baby.
Today I dreamed,
Of friends I had before.
And I wonder why.
The ones who care don't call anymore.
My feelings hurt.
But you know I overcome the pain.
And I'm stronger now,
There can't be a fire unless there's a flame.
Don't cry.
You're not alone.
Don't cry,
Tonight, my baby.
Don't cry.
You'll always be loved.
Don't cry oh...
Limousines and sycophants,
Don't leave me now,
Cause I'm afraid what you've done to me.
Is now the wolf.
In my bed,
In my head.
In my head.
In my head.
The challenges, we took were hard enough.
They get harder now.
Even when we think that we've had enough.
Don't feel alone,
Cause it's I you understand.
I'm your sedative,
Take a piece of me whenever you can.
Don't cry.... you're not alone.
...don't be so hard on yourself...
Don't cry.... tonight my baby
...Those tears are for.....someone else...
Don't cry.... you'll always be loved
...I hear your voice on the phone...
Don't cry.... tonight sweet baby
...I hear you feel... so alone.
Don't cry... don't cry... don't cry... don't you cry...
Cry... Don't cry...
Cause you still be loved
Don't cry
Don't cry tonight
Ohh..
My baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby my baby
my baby my baby my my baby my baby my baby my baby mymy baby my baby my baby
My baby....
Don't cry tonight
You'll still be loved

11. People Asking Why
Segue:

Why, am I changing?
Why do people, get complacent with the things they're told?
World disasters they come and go.
I'd give anything just to be back home.
Cause there are people, asking why.
There are people, who believe in...
In life, gets confusing but I don't know why.
But I've made my plans already.
Had this trouble with it all my life.
Well world disasters, they come and go.
I'd give all my strength to be back home
Cause there are people, asking why
There are people asking...
How do I get to where I've come from, now?
How will I paint this garden I've destroyed, green?
Can I get back to where I've come from?
Cause there are people, who believe in life.
Well how do we get to where we come from?
Peace and love ain't enough these days.
Evolution says time is running out,
We've been here too long..."
Cause there are people, asking why
Ohh, there are people, asking...
How do I get to where I've come from, now?
How will I paint this garden I've destroyed, green?
Can I get back to where I come from?
Cause there are people, who believe it.

12. Fast Changes
Peaches and R.Crumb


Fast Changes


Maybe if I search my mind a little,
I'd come across the reason why you're gone.
Maybe if I searched a little while.
And if I try to reconcile a little,
Then maybe I will know for how long.
This time...
Well here we are,
in separate rooms.
I can hear you sighing.
Saying "No way out" or so it seems.
Dry our tears, we're flying straight on through that window.
Fast changes arriving.
Slow changes are moving out.
Here we are.
Now maybe if I took the time a little,
Then maybe I would know for how long.
This time.
Here we are,
In separate rooms.
I can hear you sighing.
Saying "No way out" or so it seems.
Dry our tears, we're flying straight on through that window.
fast changes...
Fast changes arriving.
they come around... ...slow changes...
Slow change is moving out
...are moving out...
Here we are...
Fast changes they come around slow changes...
...Fast changes arriving.
Are moving out...
And slow change is moving out
Here we are.
Here we are.
A Change.......
Ohh
Here we are in separate rooms
I can hear you crying. Saying "No way out" or so it seems
Dry our tears, we're flying straight on through that window.
fast changes...
They come around... ...slow changes...are moving out...
Fast change is arriving and slow change is moving out
Fast change is arriving.
They come around... ...slow change is...
And slow change is moving out
...are moving out.
Here we are.
...fast change is arriving.
fast changes they come around, slow changes...
Are moving out...
Slow change is moving out.
Here we are.
Fast changes. They come around slow changes.... ...are moving out...
Fast change is Fast change is.................have come around
Here we are
..........Fast changes...
Here we are.
Here we are.
Here we are.
Here we are.
Ohh.....

13. If I Could
Light the end of the tunnel


If I Could


There's no reason for you to lose your mind,
Cause I've seen something,
That's gonna change our time.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Ah...
There's no hurry,
It's gonna come for sure,
Cause I know that someday,
We're gonna end our war.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Yes, I'd stand, and if I...I...
If I could I would now.
Oh my baby, oh baby...
And if I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, then I'd make you understand.
There's no reason for you to lose your mind.
Cause I've seen something that's gonna change our time.
If I..... could if I..... could and if I..... could....
...If I could ...if I could if I could....
Oh oh, oh hoah whoah oh, oh oh oh, oh...

14. Newborn Friend
To caring people, karma and cats that go merh


Newborn Friend


I wash my faith in dirty water,
Cause it gives my mind a little order.
And I play that game, just like I should do.
But my whole world, slips away.
I live my life, I live it slowly.
And I take my time, I'm in no hurry, yea... I'm livin'...
And when I go then I would surely.
I would dance with a total stranger,
And hold them in my arms.
Hell, there could be no danger if I open up,
Cause when the cryin' starts so,
If I chant for happiness,
Maybe that will make me feel better
I can't change my ideals, I can't lose my desire
Ohh, if I chant for happiness maybe that will make me feel better
I'd be a newborn friend for the world.
Well I wash my face in dirty water.
For life I have no order.
Cause I,
Know that feeling when you've tried so hard to make your way out,
Nothing mends.
So you search for the breed of the problems there lying,
Deep down in the soul.
Even if, they never end,
There's a whole bunch of reasons, tryin' to get out
But they can't make it out of the door.
Ohh, I know the reason,
I'm not enough.
There's nothing more... But,
If I chant for happiness, maybe that will make me feel better.
I can't changes my ideals, I can't put out the fire.
Ohh, if I chant for happiness, maybe that will bring us together,
For the better...
I can't changes my ideals, I can't lose my desire.
I'm just a newborn friend for the world...
Just a newborn friend for the world...
I'll be your newborn friend and I'll...
Sing loud... Sing loud... Sing loud... my friend
Gonna sing louder sing loud sing loud my friend
To my friend my friend and I...
I'll sing love, sing loud, sing a little louder of my friend.
Ohh, my darlin friend my friend my friend

20. Encore: Stay just a little bit longer
Hey wait a minute ...how'd Jackson Browne Get in here.

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play - just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song...

22. Tis okay ... and I thought it was Hendrix
The Wind Cries Mary Lyrics


by Seal



And after all the Jacks are in their boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed.
You can hear the happiness staggering on downstream,
Footprints dressed in red.
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping,
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weepin',
Somewhere a King has no wife.
And the wind cries Mary.
Mary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow,
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
Their tiny island sags on downstream,
'Cause the life that lived is dead.
And the wind screams Mary.
Now will that wind ever remember,
All those names it has blown in the past.
Now with its crutch, its old age and its wisdom,
It whispers "No, this will be the last".
And the wind screams Mary.
Mary.
Mary.
