HERE I STAND

Maybe you know its true
We could spend a life together
But from our varied points of view
I'll try to be a man about it
All that I ever hoped to be
Exactly who I am
No matter where you run to
Here I stand

Maybe you're a sad one too
We could work it out together
About our varied points of view
I'll try to be a man about it
All that I ever hoped to be
Exactly who I am
No matter where you run to
Here I stand

You've been lonely
You've been lonely
You've been lonely too
And I been thinking about you

Maybe when you hold my hand
Tell me everything about you
And I will try to understand
I'll try to be a man about it
All that I ever hoped to be
Exactly who I am
No matter where you run ta… 
Here I stand

Are we getting high?
Or we gonna cry?

LAMP IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR

This time tomorrow I'm miles away
Miles from my window, this table and flower
This time tomorrow the skies could be gray
I look for the lamp in the midnight hour

Show me your heartaches, show me your tears
Show me the trouble that caused you to cower
I turned a blind eye, in darkness for years
But look for the lamp in the midnight hour

There is a light from a light to a light
Cuts through the darkness, the wind and the showers
There is a light from a light to a light
The lamp from the midnight hour

Here is a story that's just like your story
They scrambled the words like a babylon tower
You found all the struggles but never the glory
Come look for the lamp in the midnight hour

There is a light from a light to a light
Cuts like the darkness, the wind and the showers
There is a light from a light to a light
The lamp from the midnight hour

This time tomorrow we're faded away
Miles from our windows and tables and flowers
Miles ahead looks like skies could be gray
Look for the lamp in the midnight hour

There is a light from a light to a light
Cuts through the darkness,the wind and the showers
There is a light from a light to a light
The lamp in the midnight hour
There is a light from a light to a light
There is a light from a light to a light
There is a light from a light to a light
The lamp from the midnight hour

RAPPING TELEPHONE LINE

(meditation for Adam Yauch)

Minds
Like telephone lines
Easy to find
Even in broad daylight
Get High
Like telephone lines
Easy to find our souls...

Find
Your telephone line
Our moment in time
Here in the fine white line
Try
Meditative mind 
It's easy to find our souls...

In Time
You tried to design
A filament so fine
That we could speak our minds
This time
In your decline
You helped us find our souls...

Whipping up this lightning storm

(If you have the)Time
Please get in line
And we'll make it shine
Even in darkest night
Goodbye
Rapping telephone line
From all of our hearts and minds
