Something’s in the air Something in my life Something’s in the air Silent as a rose Tells me that it’s time to speak out To all my friends and foes And every single day Make the same mistakes Wonder if the day will arrive When life can really begin Please let it begin Something’s in the air Something in my life I would speak to you Softly in your womb Maybe you should stay for a while In that pink old room And all the days keep passing by Sailing on and on (I) keep smiling And wondering where they’ve gone Everybody knows Exactly who I am Pin me down without any care And file me neatly away Oh yeah you think that with a glance You know just where I stand You see me And everything I am But you have barely seen a glimpse For in a single given day I am a sinner and a saint Something’s in the air Something in my life And all the days keep passing by Sailing on and on You know me And everything about me All the good times and the bad You know my history my story, Yeah I’m a no good rotten saint

You’re gonna beat it you’re gonna beat it you’re gonna beat it You’re gonna get through you’re gonna get through you’re gonna get through it You’re gonna fight it And right it You’re gonna beat it you’re gonna beat it you’re gonna beat it You’re gonna get through you’re gonna get through you’re gonna get through it You’re gonna fight it And right it You’re gonna beat it you’re gonna beat it you’re gonna beat it You never give up no you never give in You never back down ever when they think they'll win You never lose your ground even when at times it looks like all times are gonna be grim You’re a part time fighter when the part comes your way There’s black or there’s white but there never is grey Hesitation is for the kind who lose and that’s Never a part you could choose You cover my back my front’s never bare If there’s ever trouble I know you’ll be there For I am weak and you are strong This is a prayer a psalm and a song For the one whom I’ve come from Yeah you are the giver of life You gave me everything under the sun The minute I opened my eyes And breathed in your wonderment breathed in your love In your love

My beautiful child it’s selfish I know But I want you at all times all to myself Watching the news I can’t help myself feel The world don’t deserve you But I do, I do My beautiful child I had a strange dream Don’t even ask me what it all means The world was on fire and the fire was blue Yeah I’m still a child, just older than you We’re thrown in this world without any idea, Looking on in wonder, horror and fear But we can find strength if we stick with each other Yeah we can find love when we stick with one another So beautiful child don’t ever leave me Or just go ahead, just go and leave me You know I don’t need you like you surely need me You know I don’t need you I’m not that damn needy Needy baby Can’t you see without me you don’t have a damn hope no Can’t you see I could thrive but you wouldn’t survive no Oh my baby oh my baby child Oh my darling oh my darling child Will you ever love me like I ever love you child And are you gonna break me like I'm gonna break you child Oh my sweet child And sometimes I wonder whether I shoulda’ had you Whether it’s worth it, whether life is all worth it Sometimes feel so guilty, sometimes feel so grateful Don’t want you to end up, all messed up and hateful But, you know, if I had a choice I wouldn’t have given this up for a thing And watching the news, I can’t help myself feel The world don’t deserve you At all.

I wanna be complicit in your scheme I wanna be a part of everything that you do You are the one, You are the one for me I wanna get involved in all your love I wanna be a part of all the love that you make You are the one, You are the one for me I wanna be the lover of your life I wanna be a pillow to your head Protect you from the cruel things they said all your life They were the ones They were the ones who hurt you It might be many years before they’re dead It might be many years before their words leave your head I’ll be the one I’ll be the one to soothe you I wanna be the lover of your life LET ME BE A PILLOW TO YOUR HEAD PROTECT YOU FROM THE CRUEL THINGS THAT THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE A WHILE BEFORE THEY’RE DEAD SO ACCEPT MY LOVE INSTEAD ACCEPT MY LOVE INSTEAD
