3 - Flower Power
She is a lady comes from all around
She’s many places but she’s homeward bound
Now she walks kinda funny
I think she knows
Day by day by day
Our love grows
She’s a lantern in the night
She’s outta sight
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Heyyyyy
It turns to night, fire light
Star shines in her eye
Makes me feel like I’m alive
She’s outta sight, yeahh
Awww yeaahhhh
She’s alright she’s alright she’s alright
She’s outta sight, outta sight
Electric gold our love with tender care
Hills of satin grass and maiden’s fair
Now she rides through the night
On a silver storm
Sword in hand
Our fate’s torn
She’s a sparrow of the dawn
Our love is born
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
Heyayay
Turn to night, fire light
Star shines in her eye
Makes me feel like I’m alive
She’s outta sight, yeahh
Awww yeaahhhh
She’s alright she’s alright she’s alright
She’s outta sight, outta sight
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oo yeah oo yeah oo yeah
And as the days pass by my mind
You are the wrong, the right
You are my sunshine
And as the night begins to die
We are the morning birds that sing against the sky
4 - Black Smoke Rising
I didn’t know there was a tower
Where they look out to the land
To see the people quickly passing by
This is for their own desire
As they spit down to the earth
To feel the power
Boiling in their veins
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
And the black smoke rises
From the fires we’ve been told
It’s the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold
Many people are dividing
And a world apart
With just one heart
Is bound to keel and fade away
None of us will be deciding
And the fate of man is in the hands
Of he who stands and heeds the call?
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah
And the black smoke rises
From the fires we’ve been told
It’s the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
Stand up in the cold
Oh Oh
Oh Oh
We won’t stand alone, we will stand up in the cold
We won’t stand alone, we will stand up in the cold
We won’t stand alone, we will stand up in the cold
Yeahhh
And the black smoke rises
From the fires we’ve been told
It’s the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
(repeats)
And the black smoke rises
From the fires we’ve been told
It’s the new age crisis
And we will stand up in the cold
stand up in the cold
