Higher Ground Composer(s): Steve Dorff Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Walk me over this horizon let the sun's light warm my face once again the times are changin' once again I lost my way well the words of ancient poets fall like dust upon my shoes greed has robbed me of my vision turned my heart from higher truths so take my hand and lift me higher be my love and my desire hold me safe and honor bound take my heart to higher ground
I have walked too long in darkness I have walked too long alone blindly clutching fists of diamonds that I found were only stones I would trade the world of ages for a warmer hand to hold the path of light is narrow but it leads to streets of gold so take my hand and lift me higher be my love and my desire hold me safe and honor bound take my heart to higher ground
in this world we move through shadows never sure of what we see while the truth that lies between us come and share the truth with me so take my hand and lift me higher be my love and my desire hold me safe and honor bound take my heart to higher higher ground

Yeah
I'm keeping your smile on my mind every day I'm feeling your touch on my face even while you're away Like when was together in that dream that could've been so right, hey Like when was together in that dream that could've been so right
Tornerò, tornerò La mia vita ti darò Tornerai, tornerai Mia per sempre tu sarai
Tornerò, tornerò La mia vita ti darò Tornerai, tornerai Mia per sempre tu sarai

High, Low And In Between Composer(s): Townes Van Zandt Performer(s): Townes Van Zandt
I come from a long line high and low and in between same as you hills of golden hails of poison time's thrown me through and I believe I've come to learn that turnin' round is to become confusion and the gold's no good for spending and the poison's hungry waiting
What can you leave behind when you're flyin' lightning fast and all alone? Only a trace, my friend spirit of motion born and direction grown A trace that will not fade in frozen skies your journey will be and if her shadow doesn't seem much company who said it would be?
There is the highway and the homemade lovin' kind the highway's mine and us ramblers are getting the travelling down you fathers build with stones that stand and shine heaven's where you find it and you can't take too much with you but daddy, don't you listen it's just this highway talkin'
All things at our life are brothers in the soil and in the sky and I believe it with my blood if not my eyes I don't know why we can't be brothers here I know we should be answers don't seem easy and I'm wonderin' if they could be
Starship Trooper Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Steve Howe - Chris Squire Performer(s): Yes and multiple other artists
I. Life Seeker
Sister Bluebird flying high above Shine your wings forward to the sun Hide the myst'ries of life on your way Though you've seen them, please don't say a word What you don't know, I have never heard
Starship Trooper, go sailing on by Catch my soul, catch the very night Hide the moment from my eager eyes Though you've seen them, please don't tell a soul What you can't see, can't be very whole
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways I still remember the talks by the water the proud sons and daughters that In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Mother life, hold firmly on to me Catch my knowledge higher than the day Lose as much as only you can show Though you've seen them, please don't say a word What I don't know, I have never shared
II. Desillusion
Loneliness is a pow'r that we possess to give or take away forever All I know can be shown by your acceptance of the fact there shown before you Take what I say in a diff'rent way and it's easy to see that this is all confusion As I see a new day in me, I can also show if you and you may follow
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways I still remember the talks by the water the proud sons and daughters that In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways
Never Let You Go Composer(s): Alexander Lunyev - Karen Kavaleryan - Irina Antonyan First performance by: Dima Bilan - 2006
Heavy clouds, no rain, and every move causes pain Ready kiss, but no love, I feel I'm torn in half Burning look, but no heat, it's not you really need Baby, now it's happened with us We are dancing on broken glass Can't stand no more
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
Gentle words, no aim, it seems we're playing a game Easy smile, but no fun, sweet music for no one Close embrace, but no more, cold champagne we forgot to pour Baby, now it's happened with us We are dancing on broken glass Can't stand no more
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
Love's carving it in my heart Ooh... baby, now it's happened with us We are dancing on broken glass (Can't stand no more)
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
Never, never let you go You are the one I'm searching for Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone Love's carving it in the stone
Never, never let you go Return the days we had before Soul of my soul, blood of my blood Love's carving it in my heart
High Time Composer(s): Garcia; Hunter Performer(s): Grateful Dead
You told me goodbye, how was I to know you didn't mean goodbye, you meant please don't let me go?
I was having a high time, living the good life, well I know
The wheels are muddy, got a ton of hay now listen here, Baby, 'cause I mean what I say
I'm having a hard time, living the good life, well I know
I was losing time, I had nothing to do no one to fight, I came to you Wheels broke down, leader won't draw the line is busted, the last one I saw Tomorrow come trouble, tomorrow come pain now don't think too hard Baby, 'cause I know what I'm saying
I could show you a high time, living the good life, don't be that way
Nothing's for certain, it could always go wrong
We could have us a high time, living the good life, well I know
We are civilized and free from all confusion And yet we always worry for the things that we can't see But now to give your love away, a miracle in motion You know what seems invisible will never ever be disguised to me
I start to lose control I start to lose control
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes Until my arms surround you and build the world around you All I see are the stars in your eyes
First you hear the angels sing and then you see the wedding ring Shining as the threads of life so secretly are woven You know what you've found, you want to last forever You heart has found its wings and left for never never
And then I lose control I start to lose control
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes Until my arms surround you and build the world around you All I see are the stars in your eyes
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes
I know I will remember for longer than forever All the love and the stars in your eyes Until my arms surround you and build the world around you All I see are the stars in your eyes

Twist Of Love Composer(s): Niels Drevsholt First performance by: Sidsel Ben Semmane - 2006
Once upon a time there was this guy called Johnny He was kinda shy and so in love with Connie But so was O'Smarty, who played it cool The king of the party, but oh... what a fool (What a fool)
He didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to make a girl insist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist
Twist, he didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist
Once upon a night there was this guy called Johnny He was kinda high and dancing with his honey The queen of the party proclaimed him king While poor ol' O'Smarty was left in the ring
He didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to make a girl insist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist
Twist, he didn't know how to twist He didn't know how to move, he didn't feel the groove He didn't know how to twist Hit it, Johnny
A twist of love, a twist of pain A twist of me and you A twist of things you can't explain Will make your dream come true
Be sure you know how to twist Be sure you know how to make a girl insist Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist
Oh... (Twist) Yeah, twist Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist
Be sure you know how to move, be sure you feel the groove Be sure you know how to twist

A Star Fell Out Of Heaven Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
There was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky How could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by There was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected Then love came along so unexpectedly, for me
A star fell out of heaven, right into my arms A star fell out of heaven, right into my dreams And since that very moment, life is so divine I never heard a star speak before This one said : "Will you be mine?"
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
High Powered Love Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
I've been running low on inspiration Tired of the physical intrigue There's nothing left to imagination Living in a world that treats love so carelessly Don't want no smooth Tallinn' lover I can't play the role It just leaves me cold I need a high powered love I wanna feel that lightning streak High powered love Got to be down in the heart with me Sometimes it's hard to keep believing Too many pretty faces all skin deep Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven And won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me If you're looking for a good time A notch on your gun I ain't the one I want a high powered love Got to have intensity High powered love Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat I can't turn back I'm on a mission I know there's someone out there for me I need a high powered love One that'll defy gravity High powered love Got to be strong and keep on lifting me Yeah I need a high powered love I wanna feel the lightning streak High powered love Got to be down in the heart with me Got to be down in the heart with me
High On A Windy Hill Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney Performer(s): Glenn Miller; and various other artists
High on a windy hill I feel my heart stand still All I can hear you calling my name Into a misty blue I go in search of you There in the shadows calling your name Why are you just beyond me When will I see your face Why do you just elude me And leave me this lonely space Oh, into eternity your love will beckon me I can't forget your voice that calls my name
Into eternity your love will beckon me I can't forget your voice that calls my name..
No No Never Composer(s): Jane Comerford First performance by: Texas Lightning - 2006
My love is stronger now than you'll ever know And it won't ever let you go My love is wider than the ocean can be And it's deeper than the deep blue sea
My love goes higher than a mountain can rise And I see it there, in your eyes My love gets tougher when the going gets rough And believe me, I got more than enough
Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on There's a place we belong Where things are good, where love is strong
I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn No, no, never No, no, never
My love shines brighter than a twinklin' star Baby, no matter where you are And my love keeps burnin' like an eternal flame You can feel it when I'm callin' your name
Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on There's a place we belong Where things are good, where love is strong
I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn No, no, never No, no, never
Oh... never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
High On A Mountain Composer(s): Steve Katz Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears
High on a mountain where the sun still shines And the water runs a little lazy Wild-eyed and lonely, running out of time Some will say I died half-crazy
One time a hustler took me for a ride All because I tried to deceive her She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her
Carry me 'cross the water I've been over there once before Stayed with a poor man's daughter I can't live in this country no more
Death beds and ragged threads are my last home Someone should have known of my ending Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy Ain't much left of me worth defending
Carry me 'cross the water I've been over there once before And I stayed with a poor man's daughter I can't live in this country no more
