Foreverywhere
© 2001 Neil LoRe
I come from another planet
I was born of another species
My heart beats to another rhythm
My eyes, your eyes, another world see
Everywhere I look
I see things I can’t explain or don’t believe in
Alien at best, not like the rest
But I don't think I want to be, is it plain to see?
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe just blue
One thing I'm sure of, I'm not anything like you.
The telltale signs abound, while we numb the pain
It’s all gonna end my friend and Jesus won’t complain
It’s time to choose, for you and I to stand
Inside each other's shoes - What have we to lose?
My heart beats but it will never be the same.
Your world has driven me away.
But I will follow love wherever she may go.
Anywhere, everywhere, wherever where,
Even nowhere is somewhere.
We are Foreverywhere.
You won’t admit it, that will never be,
I think the answer is; you really feel like me.
Where is your courage? Are you not free?
Your children are at war now, at war with your beliefs
Why won't you stand up?
Is it any harder than waking up on Monday?
Must be
I will follow love, Foreverywhere
I will follow her, Foreverywhere
I will look for love, Foreverywhere

The Cats in the Window
© 2001 Neil LoRe
September four that's when I met you
Never before has anyone loved me like you do
And I love you, too. Yes I do, I do.
And now I can see how you reached out to me
The cats in the window remind me of you
You've sacrificed many things for me
And helped me see - my eccentricities
You've forgiven me, forgiven me
And now I can see how you reached out to me
The cats in the window remind me of you
And now I can see what you mean to me
The cats in the window remind me of you
Can you feel our souls ignite - out in the sunlight
And our love has begun - to lead us to life
The gift of our love is a gift from above, from above.
And now I can see how you reached out to me
The cats in the window remind me of you
And now I can see what you mean to me
The cats in the window remind me of you

What is Love
© 1998 Neil LoR3
What is love? No one ever taught me.
What is love? No one ever told me.
Seems no one knows completely.
They make believe discreetly.
What is Love
What is Love
Where is love? They say it's all around us.
Where is love? Its meaning is hidden from us.
The battleground divides us.
A sleeping world deceives us.
Where is Love
Where is Love
I thought I knew it – I really blew it.
You say I'm wrong – It’s the same old song.
We can both be right - or we can fight all night
I think we knew it all along
I think we knew it all along, yeah
Why look for love?
You know it won't include you.
Why look for love?
You know it will elude you.
Confine you and confuse you.
And all the while will lose you.
The battleground divides us.
A sleeping world deceives us
What is Love?

Lonely Girl
© 2001 Neil LoRe
I Lonely girl, in a lonely world
Do you need someone, to share the morning sun?
Lonely girl, in a lonely room
Surrounded by the things that keep away the gloom
Lonely, lonely girl - Lonely, lonely girl
Angry girl, your angry words build walls so high, I cannot scale or fly Lonely girl, there you wait by the Golden Gate I hesitate
You've driven me away
Lonely, lonely girl - Lonely, lonely girl
You've lived inside your head for way too long
You're not expecting me to be your only friend
When you know you only break my heart
Learn it all; forget it all, toss it all into the blue
For all it's done for you
Lonely girl, in your lonely room
Surrounded by the things that keep away the gloom
My clock keeps time; my heart keeps listening for you
But I can't tell blue from true, and it's about time
That you know you only break my heart
Lonely, lonely girl

Draw the Line
© 2001 Neil LoRe
When is enough, enough for you?
How long can he go on hurtin' you, please tell me
You are both prisoners, lock and key
Prisoners of love yet to be
Draw the Line. Draw the Line
So many times you've had the chance
To run the gauntlet to your freedom
So many times you’ve drawn the line
But the line keeps moving can’t you see that
Draw the line. You must hold it this time
Draw the line. You don't have to take it this time
Scale the walls - yes scale them all
The break in the fences will free you
Follow the way of the soaring wind
Keep your eyes on the distant ocean
Draw the line. You must hold it this time
You've been free and you've loved me
But that was so long ago
When you love someone that much
It's hard to know where to draw the line
Draw the Line. You must hold it this time
Draw the Line. You don't have to take it this time
Draw the Line. Draw the Line

Five Hundred Years
©2001 Neil LoRe
In just 500 years, we've spoiled all that's good
And yet nobody hears, or even thinks that they should
We never do the right thing
When the chips are really down
Take a good look at the road history took
Not the lies that they taught us in school.
Yours. Is. Yours is on its way
It's written in the stars; reflected in the sea.
It's right before your eyes, but you don't even see
That it's on its way, yours is on the way
Anger is in my blood, yet love is in my heart
Music is in my soul, my mind is torn apart
I'm not the only one, but I’m the only one I know
Who sees the Red man turning the corner, heading for the status quo
Yours. Is. Yours is on its way
It's written in the stars; reflected in the sea
It's right before your eyes, but you don't even see
That it's on its way, yours is on its way
Retribution, is on the way
Call it Karma, but it's on the way
What goes around, is on its way
Your conscience, is on its way

Love That Must Be
© 2001 Neil LoRe
I ride to the shore to howl at the moon,
Scream at the sea; I pray that you can hear me.
I stood on the mountain and reached for the sky
I drank from a fountain that kissed me good-bye.
Tears fill my eyes when love fills my sea.
I know beyond this land is a love that must be.
Love that must be. A Love that must be.
Love is more than we can know.
Love is more than man or woman.
Love is more. For Love is Love is Love.
Sounds that can sway me, light that protects.
Words that can wound me I no longer collect.
And I know now there's more than you or I can see;
In a Love that surrounds us; a Love that must be.
Love that must be. Love that must be.
Love is more than we can know.
Love is more than [Em] man or woman.
Love is more. For Love is Love is Love.
Love was here before the dawn.
Love will be after tomorrow.
Love will be. For Love is Love is Love
And I know now there's more than you or I can see;
In a Love that surrounds us; a Love that must be.
Love that must be. Love that must be

You, Called Man
© 2001 Joanna Sharp and Neil LoRe
Verse I (female voice)
Sometimes I'm all alone, even though you’re by my side
Surrounded by your presence, but it's not aligned with mine
Verse II (male voice)
How could you be so close to me, and yet so far away?
Hoping tomorrow would bring, what I missed today.
Pre-Chorus
How could this be, this wasn't in the plan
(male): I revealed my soul
I placed it in your hand. Placed it in (my) your hand
Only to find the burden was too much
Chorus
Even for you. You, Called Man.
Verse III (female and male voices weaving)
Female: Time goes by and yet the problems remain
Male: Together we could be so good so right
Female: Why can't you grow inside, inside, don't hide inside
Male: Inside, don’t hide inside
Pre-Chorus
How could this be, this wasn't in the plan
(male): I revealed my soul
I placed it in your hand. Placed it in (my) your hand
Only to find the burden was too much
Chorus (male voice in brackets)
Even for you, You Called Man (I don’t think you understand)
Even for you, You Called Man (I don’t think you take the time)
Even for you, ooh, You Called Man (I don’t think you understand)
You Called Man
Even for you, You Called Man
Even for you, You Called Man (I don’t think you understand, at all)
Every time I think of you and every time I look at you
And every time that I’m with you, I know, I love you

Parallel Lines
© 2001 Neil LoRe
In traffic jams & ticket lines or riding on the bus
Cubicles like Rubik's Cube
Contain each ones of us.
Millions of people hanging clothes out on the line
Neighbor to neighbor
We’re Parallel Lines, Parallel Lives
Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines
Charlatan, Samaritan, or friend out getting high
Family ties, lonely sighs
Parallel lines, Parallel Lives
Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines,
Blame it on industry, Blame it on theology
They've bought and sold your mind
No more businessman, no more preacher-man
They lay parallel lines (they want to touch again)
They lay parallel lines
They lay parallel lines
They lay parallel lines
Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines
Secret Dreams and Fantasies, we hold them all inside
Secret thoughts of deep blue seas
Parallel Lines, Parallel Lives
Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines, Parallel Lines,
Parallel Lines

You Know
© 2001 Neil LoRe
You came into my life on the wings of a prayer
You looked into my eyes; it was more than I could bear
Your skin, your lips, your hair, are with me everyday
You don't even have to be there, to be the best part of my day
You know I miss you; You know I need you
You know I want you; You know I love you
Like a butterfly you landed on my shoulder
Your multi-colored wings have rendered me stronger
I feel you in my arms; I can't let go.
It scares me how often I think of you, I think you know...
You know I miss you, miss you every single day?
You know I need you more each passing day
You know I want you, to understand my way
You know I love you, what more can I say?
All I know is what I feel; I thought you felt it too.
Will our feelings bring us happiness, nothing less?
Look ahead & pray for sunlight that may bring us through
To a world that lies beyond us, belongs to us.
I pray that's not too much to ask.
The numbers and the stars each tell their own story.
The story of a dream that lives in my memory,
A memory of summer days and summer nights.
How can it be wrong what the universe has made right?
You know I miss you...

Life is but a Dream
© 2001 Neil LoRe
The more I look at life, the more I turn to dreaming
It cuts just like a knife, I always dream of leaving
When will we all wake up to see
We live too seriously and life is but a dream
I remember very young, spending my days just dreaming
I [never saw much joy in the faces I was seeing
But I saw in other things, in the song of a bird that sings
A meaning there, a glimpse outside the dream
I looked above, looked for love in heaven's fantasy
It never shawn, I hurried on, to meet my destiny
I in bed, dreams in my head, voices telling me I'm right,
Life is but a dream
Now I am a man, seems now I can see through everything
But I can't understand, the silent tears of knowing
That we may never understand
Our petty wars and greed devour us indeed
I looked around, heard a sound
Never thought that what I'd found was a world of people, bound by hatred, yes we are blind, So unkind, so unfeeling, and maligned, it has to be a dream
Now an old man he walks past, lost in time still dreaming
He wonders on how fast, we've lost the light of morning
Will we ever wake, or is it just too late to see that life is but a dream
And we have no one to blame,
Progress is all in vain and meaningless inside the dream

You Are Not Alone
© 1990 Neil LoRe
Do you wish upon a star?
Do you wonder who you are?
Wonder how we've come this far?
You are not alone, my friend.
Do you sometimes lie awake
In fear your heart will always ache
Until it feels like it will break
You are not alone, my friend.
You're not far from home, my friend.
Life goes on as if we're dreaming it away.
Nothing's certain so we take it day to day.
Does anybody listening feel the same
Does anybody listening, feel the pain
I've looked deep into the cunning eyes of man.
He fails to see we're missing pieces to the plan.
Does anybody listening feel the same?
Is everybody willing to end the game? The game.
Look on high
And watch the stars igniting
You're looking deep into the soul
And the telling eyes of old.
Looking back they tell of the long forgotten fighting.
The children must, in time, be told.
Do you wish upon a star
Do you wonder who you are
Are you scared of who you are
You are not alone, my friend.
You're not far from home, my friend
I've looked deep into the cunning eyes of man.
He fails to see we're missing pieces to the plan.
Does anybody listening feel the same
Does anybody listening feel the pain
Does anybody listening feel the same
Is everybody willing to end the same
Have you wondered on the ways
The masses seek to know the maze
To explain away the craze
You are not alone, my friend

Don't Take Me Away
© 2000 Neil LoRe
Where do we go when we're gone
Which way is up and which down
Is it over before it begins
Will we pay for our sins
And what is the fruit of our labor
If we never get to know our neighbor
The pain that I brought about
The precious things that I threw out
Now I sit all alone in that chair
Feeling like there's nobody there
There's only you, there's only me
That we can be sure of
Only you, only me that we've any proof of
And preacher you've done me no good
I’d've done better than I've shown I could
if your god had been kept in his case
I wish now I'd never seen his face
‘Cause he sits all alone in that chair
Feeling like there’s nobody there
There's only you, there's only me
that we can be sure of
Only you, only me that we've any proof of
Now go to sleep and dream
And dream about a day
When all your fears wash away
Will I be taken today,
what about that other day
Will I return to finish the play.
I think I’ll be back again,
better than I was then
Don't take me, don’t take me away
Someday but not today
Hear me, for I have something to say.
Don’t’ take me, Don’t take me today.
Not today.
Love has fallen from favor
Just the hint of light
in the eyes of a dreamer
Where do we go when we’re gone
Will we find love when the light comes on
Or will we sit all alone in that chair,
feeling like there’s nobody there
There's only you; there's only me
that we can be sure of
Only you, only me that we've any proof of
Now go to sleep and dream
And dream about a day
When all your sorrow’s gone away
Will I be taken today,
Can you wait another day
You know I really want to finish the play.
