1.You're The Voice
Written:Mandy Qunta/Chris Thompson/Keith Reid/Maggie Ryde
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
2.Pressure Down
Lyrics:Harry Bogdanovs
Music:Harry Bogdanovs
Set the wheels in motion, and watch them turning round
I want to sail across the ocean, I've grown weary of this town
Take the pressure down
Cause I can feel it, it's rising like a storm
Take hold of the wheels and turn them around
Take the pressure down
In this city full of danger, we lead our separate lives
And I was frightened by a stranger, with desperation in her eyes
Someone turned the pressure on
I called your name and you were gone
And I was trapped like a prisoner in this lonely town
I'm gonna let things slide, until the pressure comes down
Oh the winner tells his story, the loser hides in shame
The winner steals the glory, while the loser takes the pain
3.A Touch Of Paradise
Lyrics:Ross Wilson/G Smith
Music:Ross Wilson/G Smith
Flamingos walk, and sway in peace
Seeing this, it makes my troubles cease
The sun is hiding, leaving a pink scar
That stretches right across the sky
That's all we've seen so far
And all I do is look into your eyes
For that special touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a special touch of paradise
You hold my hand, that's when we kiss
And it doesn't take long no, until I get the gist
Of this love that stretches out across the land
Where rainbows flash, as we're walking in the sand
And all I do is look into your eyes
A touch of spring, and autumn sweet
Well the trees vibrate when our eyes meet
And I think of all the love that we have been making
You touch my hand and I walk off shaking
And all I do is look into your eyes
4.Reasons
Lyrics:Sam See
Music:Sam See
Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out - somehow
Others get caught in, yesterday's papers
Too busy reading, to get on with living
But I - live for now
Sometimes it's easy to make up excuses
On the flimsiest pretext and then call them reasons
But where are they now?
Like I'm way too busy, I can't be involved now
And then there's the standby about understanding
But they're - wrong somehow
I'll climb more than a mountain
Swim more than an ocean
Build up an island
Live for a lifetime
Just give me a reason and I'll come running
When I have reasons, I know the way
I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
Give me a reason
Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out - somehow
5.Two Strong Hearts
Lyrics:Bruce Woolley/Andy Hill
Music:Bruce Woolley/Andy Hill
No need analyze this kind of emotion
'Cause it comes naturally
A simple case of feeling love and devotion
So tell me tenderly
I want to give my life to you
I want to feel my blood run through you
And oh I want to touch you
Over and over and over again
We got two strong hearts
We stick together like the honey and the bee
You and me
We got two strong hearts
Reaching out forever like a river to the sea
Running free
I feel there's no need for compromising my reputation
When you lead me astray
I'm proud to be a part of this fascination
When I hear you say
I want to be there to guide you
I'm going to feel my love inside you
And oh oh I want to touch you
Over and over and over again
6.Age Of Reason
Written:Todd Hunter/Johanna Pigott
From the day that we were born we've been heading down a track
Sometimes it's made for good sometimes for bad
But if we look behind us there's a wave coming down
Carrying us forward to a new age
What about the world around us
How can we fail to see
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason
So why can't we be still why can't we love each other
Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindness
And if we look behind us there's a wind blowing in
To create the age of reason
If we consider carefully the options put before us
So much wisdom so much love so much waiting for us
And if we look ahead there's the sun and the seasons
Another day another age of reason
7.That's Freedom
Written:T.Kimmel/J.A.Chapman
Arranger:John Farnham/Daid Hirschfelder/Ross Fraser
I don't know what you want from me
Or what you think a love ought to be
I want something that's open & strong
As the country this road's moving on
From the mountain to the valley
From the ocean to the alley
From the highway to the river
One emotion to deliver
One heart one way one love
To share but not to chain
That's freedom
Chorus
It's a song of the heart
A race in the wind
A light in the dark
THAT'S FREEDOM
I don't know why it takes so long
To remember
What the world's doin' wrong
Never wanted to shove my plan or another
Who can't understand
All I want is a fast lane to
Where the road across this plain
Won't take you
I want something you understand
To make us stand proud
As nothing else can
Chorus
It's a measure of trust
When love is alive
It's tender & tough THAT'S FREEDOM
It's all love is about
The opening up & letting out
Let freedom ring
8.Chain Reaction
Written:D.A.Stewart/S.Stewart
Arranger:John Farnham/Daid Hirschfelder/Ross Fraser
One Shot in the revolution
One drop from a poison pen
One fruit too small & bitter
One tree too proud to bend
One man to start the trouble
One kiss to seal your fate
One link in a chain reaction
I got a fever, a fever in my soul
No I don't want to die
Before I get old
It took some time just to bring me here
Nobody's gonna put me down
Do I make myself clear
I've got trouble, trouble in my life
And I've been living
On the edge of a knife
But I don't intend to let you down
I'm gonna give you love
Before I hit the ground
One cruel and callous lover
One blow below the belt
One chance without another
One heart too cool to melt
One kid that needs some action
One link in a chain reaction
9.Burn For You
Written:P.Buckle/J.Farnham/R.Fraser
Arranger:John Farnham/Daid Hirschfelder/Ross Fraser
I got myself into some trouble tonight
Guess I'm just feeling blue
It's been so long since I've seen your face
This distance between me and you
That voice you showed me is not the one I know
I must be strung out on what I do
Don't hang up again
There's nothing else I know how to do
Chorus
But I burn for you
What am I going to do
I Burn for you
I guess it feels like you're always alone
And I feel that way too
It's so hard to explain to you
Please understand what I do
Took my trouble to a bar tonight
For another point of view
But there's nothing new
I'm missing you
10.Seemed Like A Good Idea
Written:Ross Wilson/John Farnham/Ross Fraser
I've been a fool, I have been cruel
You put your faith in me
Ask myself why, no alibi
Now that you're facing me
Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
I know I was wrong, I'm holding on
Learning is hard to do
It's not too late, if you will wait
I'll make it up to you
If you refuse, then I will lose
I let our life unwind
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed like the ring thing
'Til I watched you go
Seemed like the right thing
But I lost control
Out in the darkness I saw a light
And now I know
A bitter taste has taken the place
Of kisses that were so sweet
Open my eyes, I realise
My lesson is complete
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it
Sometimes I crossed that line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
It seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Did things my way, I've had my say
Sometimes I crossed the line
But it seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
Seemed like a good idea
Seemed like a good idea at the time
11.Talk Of The Town
Lyrics:Shane Howard
Music:Shane Howard
The sun goes down on a cloudless sky
The tide is in the waters high
The fisherman are back in town
Tonight they'll either drink or drown
Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town, goin' 'round
If you're ever in that Gulf country
Strangest land you've seen
Sun's so hot the ground's on fire
Thermometer won't go no higher
Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town, goin' 'round
If you want to lose those lonely blues
You best put on your dancing shoes
The ringers make for the water hole
Tonight the town will rock 'n roll
Wait for rain to come down
Wait for rain all year round
It's the talk of the town, goin' 'round
Now, Murray knows this ancient land
Like the back of his own hand
See the brolga on the plain
Thousands dancing, bring the pain
And that rain coming down
Hear that rain what a mighty sound
It's the talk of the town, coming down
And that rain coming down
Hear that rain what a mighty sound
It's the talk of the town, coming down
12.Angels
Written:Tom Kimmel/Jennifer Kimball
The touch of your hand, will let me know
You take me in, and let me go
If not for love, why would we meet
How is it done, two into one, so easily?
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
We're lifted up by angels
You understand, yet never say
How every plan would fade away
If not for love, where would you be?
Ashes to dust, water to rust
Away from me
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
Given wings to fly
Leave the night behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise
We're lifted up by angels
We're close enough to heave
Above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
We're lifted up by angels
13.Have A Little Faith
Written:R.Desalvo/A.Roman
Arranger:John Farnham/Chong Lim/Ross Fraser
See the lovers in the faded photograph
She's making funny faces, he's trying not to laugh
Do you remember the way we used to be
When love lifted us up, made us feel so free
How we betrayed each other
Trying to rediscover
That feeling once again
This is not the end
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no history that we can't remake
Have a little faith in us
For all we know the best is yet to come
We like the wind under our wings, you and I
We stay on the ground too long, we get that urge to fly
And it seems that the grass world be more green
In any other place, with any change of scene
Here is the love we long for, open the secret door
And it will take us in
And sweep us off our feet again
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no history that we can't remake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no destiny that we can't create
Have a little faith in us
For all we know the best is yet to come
And we can climb that mountain and go
Where this love has never gone before
And in our wildest heart of hearts we will know
That we have been reborn
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no history that we can't remake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no ghost from the past, that we can't shake
Have a little faith in us (have a little faith in us)
There's no destiny that we can't create
Have a little faith in us
For all we know the best is yet to come
14.A Simple Life
Written:J.Lind/R.Page
Arranger:John Farnham/Chong Lim/Ross Fraser
Show me the magic
I must've lost it somewhere
In my dreams, so far away
I turned around, everything's changing but me
Where is the soul in my song?
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies?
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life
Out of the blue, temptation's all around me
The train came along and I got on board
I danced with the darkness
The skies were the limit
It's such a long way to fall
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies?
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life
'Cause I've done my time in paradise
I've tried it all maybe once or twice
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life
Stars keep me going
And the moon is there to light my way
I need to go where my heart is free
Looking for the way back
Hoping for the way back
Somebody show me how to
Get back to ... the simple life
'Cause I've done my time in paradise
I've tried to all maybe once or twice
Somehow the grass was always greener
On the other side
Once there was heaven in my eyes
Whatever happened to those skies?
Somebody show me how to
Get back to the simple life
15.Heart's On Fire
Written:T.Kimmer/S.Lynch
Arranger:John Farnham/Chong Lim/Ross Fraser
Last rites first blood
Maybe a dream but then it's clear enough
Can't hide can't sleep
Is it the vision or the body heat?
True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire
One step too deep
I made a promise now it's hard to keep
One word one kiss
Come any closer and you burn like this
True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire
You're talking trouble when you move this fast
You're never certain that the light will last
You've got to wonder when the place will blow
Leaving nothing but a bed of coals
I made a promise not to fall this time
And not to watch another love go blind
Not to let another flame burn low
Now I'm praying that you won't let go
Well all right it's hot stuff
It's hard to focus but it's clear enough
The weak run, the lost hide
The strong forever hold the flame inside
True love's when your heart's on fire
If I'm the paper you're the sparkin' wire
True love's when your heart's on fire
16.When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
The ice is melting in my glass there's a storm out on the ocean
A picture in a golden frame lying cracked and broken
If you lined up all the losers and stood them in my shoes
They'd put me on a pedestal and crown me prince of fools
Cos even though you did me wrong
My heart denies the fact
If you gave me half a chance
You know I'd take you back
If there's a fool born every minute
Then I'm the man of the hour
Seems I've been living a lie for so long now
If there's a spotlight and I'm in it
Cos I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour
There's a time for giving up on love, and a time to stay and
fight
I would give anything to be with you tonight
God I mustbe twisted, cos I know you're just no good
If you asked me to blind my eyes, then girl you know I would
If there's a fool born every minute
Then I'm the man of the hour
Seems I've been living a lie for so long now
If there's a spotlight and I'm in it
Cos I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour
Pull this dagger from my heart, let it beat again
In my world of self delusion, only you can stop the pain
Even though you did me wrong, my heart denies the fact
If you gave me one more chance, you know I'd take you back
If there's a fool born every minute
Then I'm the man of the hour
Seems I've been living a lie for so long now
If there's a spotlight and I'm in it
Cos I haven't got the power
To know when love is over
I'm the man of the hour
If there's a fool born every minute
If there's a spotlight and I'm in it
If there's a fool born every minute
If there's a spotlight and I'm in it
If there's a fool born every minute
If there's a spotlight and I'm in it
17.Everytime You Cry
Lyrics:S Peiken/G Sutton
Music:S Peiken/G Sutton
Never before have I seen you look so blue
I can't find a cure and nothing comforts you
But the light at the end of the tunnel
Doesn't shine at the end of the day
Every time you cry
Save up all your tears
I will be your rainbow when it disappears
Wash away the pain
'Til you smile again
I will be the laughter in your eyes
Every time you cry
Time has a way of wounding what has healed
What can I say? I know just how you feel
Your soul is dark and troubled
Like a river running wild
Every time you cry
Save up all your tears
I will be your rainbow when it disappears
Wash away the pain
'Til you smile again
I will be the laughter in your eyes
Every time you cry
Well, you know that's what I'm here for
I will give you what you need, more
There will be no hesitation
I will reap no reward
Every time you cry
Save up all your tears
I will be your rainbow when it disappears
Wash away the pain
'Til you smile again
I will be the laughter in your eyes
Every time you cry
