you came from out of nowhere

yesterday

well you blew my cool but that's ok!

I guess I couldn't run forever

anyway

I knew I'd have to face the truth someday



strange after all these years

after all my tears

to find you there in front of me

when I lost you in the crowd

I was so full of doubt

but that's not the way it's meant to be



ego and pride

the great divide

I was but I'm not crazy now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world



I grew up with a small town

mentality

yeah, it's a universal frame of mind

I was trying to make the changes

but I couldn't see (oh, why are we so blind)

couldn't see above the bottom line



searching for common ground

used to bring me down

I had better ways to spend my days

then I lost you in the crowd

I was so full of doubt

but that's not the way I feel today



ego and pride

the great divide

I was but I'm not faking now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world

can't be denied

or justified

hold me and stop me shaking now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world



hey you

you gotta break out

you gotta follow through

you gotta try to find a way

dream on

but don't lose the feelings

when there's nothing to hold on to

you gotta learn to feel your way



strange (strange) after all these years

after all my fears

to remember things we used to say

(strange) when I lost you in the crowd

I was so full of doubt

but that's not the way I feel today



ego and pride

the great divide

I was but I'm not crazy now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world

can't be denied

or justified

hold me and stop me shaking now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world

ego and pride

the great divide

I was but I'm not faking now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world

can't be denied

or justified

hold me and stop me shaking now

don't multiply

the tears we cry

I want love in a peaceful world



transmit and receive

you gotta feel to believe

wear my heart on my sleeve

I'll never lie or flatter to deceive you

transmit and receive

you gotta feel to believe it

wear my heart on my sleeve

now that I found you - never gonna leave you



transmit and receive

I'll never lie or flatter to deceive you

you gotta believe

now that I found you - never gonna leave you
