lyrics

Movement One: "Love Can Set You"

Champagne, cocaine,
It a'int nothing like your love!
You know I flew so very high
When you looked down from above.
Now you got me
Sleeping in the morning,
Dreaming all the afternoon.
'Cause when I got you in my dreams
There a'int no more missing you.

They tell you "Life is easy
"When your eyes don't see
"What this world can be."
I'm so sorry if you read me wrong.
You know by now
You can show me how
Only love can set you free.

Love can set you free...

Movement Two: "In the End"

Won't you tell me, baby?
You keep me wondering why
Our love can't touch the sky
Together.
When you call my name
I feel you hold my chain
It all feels like pain
In the end.

Watch out:
There will come a time
When some may see it as drowning,
But it sets you free.
When you fight the river
The waves start crashing.
If ahead you lies a wake
You have yet to reach the end.
When you too will know that
Love is one with all in the end.
In the end...

Movement three: "Adoration of the Land of Plenty"

The land of the free,
The home of the blue,
Praise be!
Glory to the auto,
Glory to the industry.
Have you found the peace you're after
Now the war a'int on TV?
Is this heaven on earth
When it's only what you see?

Where do you run to
If the river's running black?
Upon these streams of asphalt
There a'int no turning back.
Tell me:
Where do you go
If the flames should chase you down?
If they reach my doorstep,
Ashes make no sound.

Movement Four: "Love Can Set You Free"

Bodies burning.
Napalm falling oh so free.
Well, as I stare into the valley
I ask myself,
"Is this the way it has to be?"
Could the love we need so badly
Be waiting all around our hearts?
Close your eyes and drop the curtains:
What you feel is just the start.
