Toto : The Seventh One

Lyrics

1. PAMELA

Oh! Yeah.

Side by side, I'll be yours forever
Rain or shine, any kind of weather
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
Let's take what's getting old and make it new

Oh, eye to eye, it's a blinding confrontation
You and I, we're a deadly combination
So don't start mixing truth with jealousy
The road we're on is clear as far as I can see

Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind

Black and white always go together
Day and night you're the precious juwel I treasure
Wanting every part of you is not a crime
Or could it be that you're the one who's wrong this time

Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind

All that I love (all that I love)
Thousands of miles away, but always in my heart

Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind

Pamela, don't break this heart of mine
Just remember, it may not heal this time
Pamela, there is no second chance, for the one who leaves it all behind


2. YOU GOT ME

Momma said be careful what you do, yeah you.
She said, don't you let just anybody talk to you, no no no
I can't hide the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid if momma only knew, it feels right

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

I confess I love the things you do, yes I do
Your caress keeps me coming back to you, only you

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long


3. ANNA

Anna, please turn around, we'll work it out somehow
Anna, don't turn me down, there's still a chance if we can hold out once more

'Cause we started out with love, that was more than enough
And that's a lot to give up

Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Anna, you gotta stay, it's just a stage we're going through
And Anna, this all can change, if we turn the page then we can start all again

'Cause we almost touched the sky, and it could never again be this right
Anna please change your mind

Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

Even if you turn and walk away, love will bring you back somehow
I will wait forever and a day, 'cause I believe without a doubt
The time will not run out on our love

And I believe without a doubt, the time will not run out on our love


4. STOP LOVING YOU

Reflections in my mind, thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on
I can almost hear a laugh, coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings
Well-intended lies, contemplating alibies
Is it really you, or is it me I'm blaming
A distant memory flashes over me
Even though you're gone, I feel you deep inside

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl

There's a window in a heart, I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking
Someone's broken something new, another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing

I held it in my hand, I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name
Tried to catch a shooting star, what seems so close can't be that far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl


Dancing with that look that's in your eyes

I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl

I can't stop loving you, time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop till I'm through loving you, girl


5. MUSHANGA

I can't forget you, my little Mushanga, I keep a place in my heart for you
The days of waiting, they keep getting longer, and not a thing I can do
I was a poet, a magazine writer, sent to report on political views
It was by chance, through a lens that I met you, a Cape town girl with no shoes

You were runnin' down the road, I was going your way
You stopped and turned around, and lent you my hand
You smiled though you were suffering, I didn't understand, then

You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart, had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh

I sat and watched as she danced by the fires
Through ancient songs did the tale unfold
They sang of diamonds that came from their mountains
And loss of lives mining white man's gold

I had to leave and go back to Manhattan
Where all my stories are bought and sold
I know the city would surely be saddened, if what I knew could be told

You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart, had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh

It's been so long since I last heard your laughter
So many letters and still no news
I hope you find all the things that you're after
You know my heart is with you

You broke into my heart, I saw your eyes and then I knew
You broke into my heart, like the wind and rain that followed you
You broke into my heart, had the Lord above forgotten you?
You broke in from the start, and all my tears belong to you
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh
Mushanga, oh, Mushanga, oh


6. STAY AWAY

You gave me too many chances, now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, 'cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now, but I won't let go

I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart

If you gave me three wishes, I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl, I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches, but your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl, who's afraid he's been caught

You're standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldn't be further from the truth

Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart

Remember how it used to be girl, makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down

I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart

Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart


7. STRAIGHT FOR THE HEART

Boy meets girl on the playground of life
Falls in love for the very first time
Late at night he sees her alone, but she's the type that can never be owned

He can't get her off his mind, but she knows he'll get over her in time
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Boy sees girl on the poor side of town
A city princess with her very own crown
He's too young to be taking such a chance
'Cause she walks the streets in the name of romance

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

Everywhere she goes he's there and she knows, he's just another fool who cares
And the world goes round and round

She goes straight for the heart, she serves it sweet and cold
But she goes straight for the heart
It's just the only thing that she's ever known

'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known
'Cause that's the only thing that she's ever known


8. ONLY THE CHILDREN

We keep hurting each other when words can't be easily said
No understanding or reason, just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future, and the young need a chance to survive
No one knows the pain that's felt by the innocent, they're
Fighting to stay alive, can no one see the tears in their eyes

Only the children, only the children cry, only the children

Why do those who have plenty ignore those with nothing at all
Why must the ones just beginning, stand with their backs to the wall
They keep asking for answers and we keep on telling them lies
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
It's the one thing they've known from the start

Only the children, only the children cry, only the children

Only the children, only the children cry, only the children


9. A THOUSAND YEARS

Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean?
The air has changed, it's getting harder to breathe, or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine

A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

Tell me my friend, can you imagine a place free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind and it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world where everything's fine

A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years

Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine

A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years


10. THESE CHAINS

Everybody keeps talkin' about you, I can't lie anymore
Been too long, what went wrong? It's a mystery
Why you ever walked out that door
What direction should I go? Girl what's next for me, I don't know

Is it gonna get easier than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier, without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh

I see your face when I look in the mirror
I feel your touch but you're not there
Wakin' up, had enough of this dream of mine, girl this just isn't fair
What direction should I go? Girl what's next for me, I don't know

Is it gonna get easier than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier, without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh

Day by day, until they break, ohhh ohhh

Is it gonna get easier than tryin' to break these chains around my heart
Ohhh ohhh
Does it ever get easier, without you I can't pull these chains apart
Ohhh ohhh


11. HOME OF THE BRAVE

Everything's gonna be alright boys, help is on the way
Hold your head up high now, there's no need to cry now
We're not running anymore

Leave the politics behind boys, they're not working anymore
There's so much more at stake here, it's make or break here
Haven't we been here before - tell me what we're waiting for

You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

Who sings the song of the people, you don't hear it anymore
I heard it late last summer, to the beat of a different drummer
It never sounded quite like that before

So you're trying to shake this feeling, that trouble's right outside the door
You lie awake each dark night, like a time bomb wound up too tight
A storm in waiting, just offshore - tell me what we're waiting for

You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave

You gotta remember, you don't have to be afraid
You still have the freedom to learn, and say what you wanna say
You gotta remember, don't let 'em take away
The land we call the home of the brave
