At This Time
Please
Explain
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
There was a song
I remember
Said “What the world needs now…”
Where is the love
Where did it go
Who broke our hearts cause we need to know
Where are the dreams
That we once knew?
Please explain
Please explain
Where is the love
Where did it go
Who broke our hears cause we need to know
Where are the dreams
That we once knew?
Please explain
Please explain
The sun and the moon are crying
The stars and our hearts
Crying
Please explain
The fathers and mothers crying
Sisters and brothers crying
Please explain
Please explain
The sun and the moon are crying
The stars and our hears
Crying
Where
Did It Go
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
Stop the clock
Make it stop
Where’d it go
I don’t know
Stop the clock
Make it stop
Where is that world
Where did it go?
When I was a young boy
12 years old
Growing up in New York city
I could ride the subway by myself
And never, ever be afraid
Where did it go?
And tell me what happened to that world I knew
Is it really gone?
How did we wind up in this place instead
Is it really gone?
Now I have a boy who’s 12
And a girl who’s 9
And a son in college
And I worry all the time
Worry ‘bout their future
What will it bring?
‘Cause nobody is safe these days
Where did it go?
How do we get back to that other place?
There’s gotta be a way
How do we un-do a thousand mistakes?
See there’s got to be a way
Where is that world
Where did it go?
Who
Are These People?
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach and Tonio K.
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who’ll stop the violence cause it’s out of control?
Make em stop
Who are these people that destroy everything
And sell off the future for whatever it brings
And what kind of leaders can’t admit when they’re wrong?
Make em stop
This stupid mess we’re in just keeps getting worse
So many people dying needlessly
Looks like the liars may inherit the earth
Even pretending to pray
And getting away with it
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
And who’ll stop the violence cause it’s out of control?
We’ve got to make them stop
Who are these people that keep telling us lies
And how did these people get control of our lives
and who’ll stop the violence cause it’s out of control?
Make em stop
See things really have to change
Before it’s too late
Is Love Enough?
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
Times keep
changing
Always movin'
Things never
change
Things stay the same
Things fall apart
Life breaks your heart
Things keep
changing
Always movin'
Things never
change
Things stay the same
Things keep
changing
Always moving
Things never
change
Things stay the same
Things fall apart
Life breaks your heart
Things fall
apart
Life breaks your heart
Is love enough?
Nothing
but love's
Ever enough
But love's enough
Things never
change
Things stay the same
Nothing
but love's
Ever enough
But love's enough
Things fall
apart
Life breaks your heart
Is love enough?
Nothing
but love's
Ever enough
Can't Give It Up
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
I'll never
ever change you
I'll
never try to
I'll never
understand love
I'll
never get it
I'll never
ever change you
I'll never try to
'Cause you're my only
Broken valentine
Just like you are
I'll never
understand love
I'll never get it
But
I can't give it up
I'll never
ever change you
I'll never try to
You'll be my only
Broken valentine
Just
like you are
I'll never
understand love
I'll never get it
But
I can't give it up
I'll never
ever change you
I'll never try to
'Cause you're my only
Broken valentine
Just
like you are
Go
Ask Shakespeare
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
I’ve been hoping for a better day
It’s a long time coming but I wait anyway
Till the dark clouds have all blown away
And the sun shines again
I keep trying; I’ve been holding on
Though the days are empty in a world that’s gone wrong
Life’s a miracle—or a foolish tale
I don’t know; Go ask Shakespeare
Love’s the answer like I said before
It’s the one thing we needed maybe now even more
Love’s the secret we’ve been looking for
Till the sun shines again
So I keep hoping; and I’m holding on
There a cold wind blowing but I know love is strong
There will come a dsya when the sorrow is gone
And the sun shines again
I keep hoping for a better day
It’s a long time coming but I wait anyway
Life’s a miracle or a foolish tale
I don’t know; Go ask Shakespeare
Dreams
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
Dreams will
come
And dreams will go
I'll
be there beside you
All the
time
And everywhere
Standing
there beside you
I'll love
you
And you'll love me
Hopefully
forever
Dreams will
come
And dreams will go
I'll
be there beside you
Fade Away
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach
Things fade
away
Then it's all gone
That's what they say
Always Taking Aim
Lyrics by Burt Bacharach & Tonio K.
Nowhere
to go
To find the answer 'cause there is
No
one but you to find it
No world
to save
Except the one in your heart
There's no love to lose
You'll
lose it
No time
to lose
No tears to waste
No world to change
No
love to make but yours
I know that
things may never ever change
Things will stay the same
But I know love is never far way
Always
taking aim
