SEVENTH AVENUE LYRICS

1. Theme From Rainbowland

[Instrumental]

2. Rainbowland

Life isn't as colourful as it once was
The colour of blood determines the day
Warring countries, warring streets
Shots ringing through each dark night
And you hear the children screaming
You could, if you would, hear the unborn cry
No cry as in good past days
Or on better ways

[Chorus:]
And you darken your brow in consternation
Asking me, pleading me, fully against
How one can live, hope, or dream today
Without resigning or drowning

The end of a day, worse than yesterday
No work, no money, no land in sight
Only one thing's for sure: It can't get worse
'Cause you've reached the pit
Just enjoying TV, watching the killing,
'Till you turn away, 'cause you're hurt inside
But the stillness of evening is ravaged by a scream
And a siren blares through the night

[Refrain:]
Give me your hand, I will show you the way
To the Rainbow Land
'Cause the meaning of life is to live after life
And you need not commit suicide
Give me your hand, I will show you the way
To the Rainbow Land
Come with me on a trip where you can see
The way to the Rainbow Land

The rich and famous are dying in drugs
Or into materialism or a new religion
And everyone else is following blindly
Not as much cash, but they are doing it
Just don't stand so you can think
Don't look behind or you'll realize the game
Who cares what it costs, if it's not your money
What does it matter, if you have the gain?

[Chorus]

I tell you: Life is a long journey
There is a time after time without time
And there will be two heavens in eternity
You can tell them Rainbow Land and downtown
Or you can say heaven and hell
They are just names, the places remain
You're deciding now, where you'll be then
It's the story of Rainbow Land , from the book of life.

[Refrain]

3. Way To Paradise

[Refrain:]
Way to paradise
Now you can't see how nice
Way to paradise
Take off all your lies
Break down the wall
Now it's time for all
Fight against the sin
Don't let the devil win
Don't let the devil win

Blow up the wall
Which prevent you from being reborn
Destroy the chain
Which prevent you from a new beginning
Pray to Jesus
And follow him

[Refrain]

In the life after life
In a night without darkness
We will see the perfect freedom
Although you think
We are captives of the bible
But that's the map of our life

[Refrain]

4. Pray

If your mother dies,
You will pray;
If your father dies,
You will to God all say;
If your sister is raped
Then you will pray
If your girl gets a baby
Then you will to God all say.

[Refrain:]
Pray, now there's time to say
Pray, now it's time for a new beginning
A prayer in the night, sometimes seems like a fight
A prayer from the heart is bringing sunshine in the dark

If you have to pass an exam,
Then you will pray;
If you take by force a bank,
Even then you will to God all say
You pray to God in your life;
You say him all your wishes
Won't you end with your sin,
God helps you go the way to him.

[Refrain]

You'll see a prayer makes you free, makes you free
Then you'll see no danger, you are free, you are free

5. Loving You

I was close to you
Dreaming my dream
I was far away
So it seems
I need honesty
A stone of hope
I need your love
Now look at me

I'm loving you
Looking for paradise
I'm loving you
Changing me now
I'm loving you
Looking for every day
I'm loving you
Looking for you now

I'm loving you
I need security
I feel your love to me
What can I do?
I'm loving you
I need reality
No world of fantasy
I'm loving you

I'm loving you
Looking for paradise
I'm loving you
Changing me now
I'm loving you
Looking for every day
I'm loving you
Looking for you now

I'm loving you
Looking for paradise
I'm loving you
Changing me now
I'm loving you
Looking for every day
I'm loving you
Looking for you now

6. On The Road Again

I feel so alone, so alone
But, baby, believe me, I'll never cry for you, never cry for you
Deep inside I'm so alone,
Broken promises tell me: our memories will never come to be
Don't fill my heart with pain,
I'll say it to you again and again

[Refrain:]
Again on the road
I will thank you oh my God
That you have shown me, I'm not alone
Again on the road
I will thank you oh my God
That you have shown me, I'm not alone

No more dirty games, no more days full of blame,
Baby believe me, I'll never cry for you, never cry for you
I can't see a way for you and me
Broken promises tell me: our memories will never come to be
I hope you'll find the right way
That's always for what I pray
But don't fill my heart with pain,
I'll say it to you again and again

[Refrain]

[Live performance only:]
Maybe this song wasn't the whole truth
But baby believe me, I'll never cry for you, never cry for you
I don't; but if I can, I'll carry it like a man
So I hope, despite our promises: our memories will come to be
Times will come and times will go
I hope time will show
But don't fill my heart with pain,
I'll say it to you again and again

[Refrain]

7. Funeral Speech

I am the Resurrection and I am the Life, says the Lord.
Whoever has faith in me shall have life, even though he die.
And everyone who has life, and has committed himself to me in faith, shall not die for ever.
As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and that at the last he will stand upon the earth.
After my awaking he will raise me up; and in my body I shall see God.
I myself shall see, and my eyes behold him who is my friend and not a stranger.
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and giving life to those in the tomb.
The Sun of Righteousness is gloriously risen, giving light to those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death.
The Lord will guide our feet into the way of peace, having taken away the sin of the world.
Christ will open the kingdom of heaven to all those who believe in his Name, saying, Come, O blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom prepared for you.
In paradise may the angels lead you.
At your coming may the martyrs receive you, and bring you into the holy city, Jerusalem.
Everyone the Father gives to me will come to come; I will never turn away anyone who believes in me.
He who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies through his indwelling Spirit.
My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; my body also shall rest in hope.
You will show me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.
O God, whose blessed Son was laid in a sepulchre in the garden: Bless, we pray, this grave, and grand that he whose body is buried here may dwell with Christ in paradise, and may come to our heavenly kingdom; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Rest In Peace.

8. Rest In Peace

Faster than fast your time is running
Day by day
You know what you do, you do what you want
Living your life
Be one of the top, you want to exalt yourself
You
Against devil and death with your fate in your hands

All you wanna be
Rest in peace
You've lost your own chance, forever
All you wanna be
Rest in peace
Never, there's no return, ever

People are living to fast they're bleeding so hard
But not you
You're just hunting the future, hunting some
destiny in time
searching, not finding, loving but killing
lead by the devils arms
Are you beating your enemies, killing your friends
In the end you will killing yourself

All you wanna be
Rest in peace
You've lost your own chance, forever
All you wanna be
Rest in peace
Never, there's no return, ever

Can you feel Satan
He'll destroy your life
There is just one chance
Turn your life, repent your sins

You will never be
Rest in peace
You will never be
Whenever you see light
At every turn
Take it deep inside

9. Die

It's hard to die
And you don't know
Where you will go;
The time runs down
You look at friends
Someone will ask
Where - where do you stand?
If the sound of graveyard bells
Go away from your friends
And they stay there -
Now where are your excuses
Where's the smile on your face?
You don't need tears in your eyes
And you need not weep and cry.

[Refrain:]
Alone, alone
With the father and the son
Alone, alone
What would you have done?
One day you will die
And, I hope, you need not cry

Don't wait until
Your death
Make everything clear
In your life
Don't believe
Your good acts were enough
Only grace
Counts in the front of the judge

[Refrain]

You don't need tears in your eyes
And you need not weep and cry.
God has given his son
For what you have done.

[Refrain]

10. Just Believe

Where is the promised land
Where is the way
Turn everything away
What is right to do
Where we have to go
You can say yes or no
Who counts the time
What's the reason
Of all death and decay
You have some goals to reach
Realize your dreams
Go along your way
And you'll get a better world

[Refrain:]
Just believe, just believe me
We've got to reach some goals together
Let it shine on your life
Let the love begin again
Just believe, just believe me
Remember the moments of love
Time to go, time to say
How you think and how you feel

[Chorus:]
There are so many ways to go along
I want to say: you be tough and strong
It's not always like it seems
We always have time for our dreams
I say: Just believe me

What makes us blind
And why we have to fight?
All the love is gone
Where are the friends
Who tell the truth?
Why it's hard to say what you feel?
We can fly over mountains
And follow our dreams
We can try it again
And use our second chance

[Refrain]

[Chorus]

Don't let the feeling die
And never say goodbye
One more chance
One more time
To think about a change

11. Love Goes

They love your body
It's perfect and without flaw
And with the right clothes
Even the dead rise to their feet
What do you have to do
So that they all will love you?
How long will it last?
Love - that's just a cloud

[Chorus:]
Not only nights full of storm I know
This love is a gun
Sometimes I don't know right or wrong, but I know
This love was here and is gone

[Refrain:]
Come on and open your eyes
Turn your head back from the wall
Don't tell yourself these lies
Your perspective isn't that small
Don't get too caught up in the ways of this world
They'll tear you up and throw you down
Come on and open your eyes
You've got to think and rise

They love your success
And they love your possessions
So many things, but always the same
If you're not on the top you're the wart
And they'll all just pass by
How long will it last?
Love - that's just a cloud

[Chorus]

[Refrain]

12. Children

Waste my life and see tomorrow
Waste my life and see today
See this world full of pain and horror
Why can't they understand?

Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms

Overfed with crime and terror
Sitting, watching war TV
Demonstrating people want to
Live in peace and harmony

Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms

After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you'll feel no loneliness

Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms

After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you'll feel no loneliness

13. Prince Of Peace

We live in a world full of pain and hate man
We live for a life after life to see them
I see my father with his open arms he says
Come on everybody lift your hands up and pray
Crime and terror every day on the street
Fire of destruction in the face of the heat
The hawk of evil will extricate your soul
Headless children run for their last fall

[Chorus:]
He died on the cross for you and for me
That everybody in the world could see
He is the only one who can save us
He is the only one his name is Jesus
J-E-S-U-S Jesus was his name
J-E-S-U-S Jesus was his name

[Refrain:]
Praise him 'cause he can change you
He is the king of kings
Praise him 'cause you can taste him
He is the prince of peace

You scatter your time in the vortex of every day
You spend your life without law in anarchy
The devil has opened the battle to your soul
He wants to tear you in a black hole
He anasty your conscience with his dirty venom
So you can't see that he is the greatest loon
If you're not alone his venom has no chance
Father was your antidote bible evidence

[Chorus]

[Refrain]

There is one light where you can hold on
There comes the time when we can catch the crown
After the days in which you can say something
You have no chance to turn back and pray
I hope in these days of thunder and firerain
You don't need tears of blood and loose your brain
Open the way to the bride of your heart
Only the way to the right eternal start

[Chorus]

[Refrain]

King of kings and lord of lord glory hallelujah
King of kings and lord of lord glory hallelujah
Jesus prince of peace glory hallelujah
Jesus prince of peace glory hallelujah

14. Loving You
