I REMEMBER DAYS GONE BY

LOVE THAT I THOUGHT I KNEW

NOW I CAN’T CRY

I OFTEN WONDERED WOULD IT LAST

LOVE THAT I’VE GIVEN TO HER

NOW THAT’S ALL PAST

ALL THAT I WANTED WAS HAPPINESS

BUT SOONER OR LATER

THE DAYS, THEY GET BRIGHTER

YOU LOOK ROUND AND NOTICE

YOU’RE BACK ON YOUR FEET

I’VE TAKEN LESSONS ON HOW TO FEEL

SO MAYBE NEXT TIME I’LL KNOW

IF LOVE’S FOR REAL

SO MAYBE NEXT TIME I’LL KNOW

LEARNING HOW TO FEEL

 

JUST A FRIEND

WHEN I WAS DOWN YOU CAME AROUND

JUST A FRIEND PASSIN BY

SEEMED LIKE I’D NEVER SEE THE OTHER SIDE

BUT YOU CHANGED MY MIND

TIMES ARE HARD I KNOW

IT’LL COME AND GO

LOOK AHEAD DON’T LET IT SHOW

THIS IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO GROW

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE

THEY NEVER KNOW

WHAT THEY WILL DO TO YOUR LIFE

SOME ARE SINCERE, SOME SACRIFICE

SOME ARE JUST THERE FOR THE RIDE

TIMES ARE HARD I KNOW

IT’LL COME AND GO

LOOK AHEAD DON’T LET IT SHOW

THESE ARE THE WORDS YOU GAVE ME I KNOW

YOU’RE A FRIEND FOREVERMORE

I WILL NEVER WONT AGAIN

I HOPE I CAN GIVE BACK TO YOU

A GIFT SO PRECIOUS AND TRUE

OH JUST A FRIEND

WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST YOU WERE THERE

OH JUST A FRIEND

STEP INSIDE YOU KNOW I’LL ALWAYS BE THERE

OH JUST A FRIEND

JUST A FRIEND YEAH

OH JUST A FRIEND

GONNA BE THERE GONNA BE THERE

OH JUST A FRIEND

YOU’LL BE MY FRIEND TO THE END

OH JUST A FRIEND

MY FRIEND MY ONLY FRIEND

OH JUST A FRIEND

I WANNA GIVE IT BACK

GIVE IT BACK

 

RELATIVITY

Albert Einstein - explanation of E=mc2

  

SHELLS OF TIME GIVE ORDER TO THE

OBJECTS FALLING DOWNWARD TO THE EARTH

AND IN THE FALL IT’S EVER SLOWING DOWN INSIDE

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT’S WORTH ?

SO MANY THINGS GO ON AROUND YOU

YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT IT TO BE TRUE

YET THE TREES ARE BREATHING TOO

AND WHEN I WAS A CHILD OF SEVEN

I KNEW THAT THINGS WEREN’T ALWAYS HOW THEY SEEMED

THE FORWARD ROLLING MARBLE ON THE BUS

WAS MOVING FASTER THAN I’D DREAMED

WHEN UNDERSTANDING FLOODS YOUR MIND

THEN YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS REALLY TRUE

THAT THE TREES ARE BREATHING TOO

**THE EQUATION E IS EQUAL M C SQUARE IN WHICH ENERGY IS PUT EQUAL TO MASS, MULTIPLIED WITH THE SQUARE OF THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT SHOWED THAT VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF MASS MAY BE CONVERTED INTO VERY LARGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY AND VISE VERSA. THE MASS AND ENERGY WERE IN FACT EQUALIVENT, ACCORDING TO THE FORMULA MENTIONED BEFORE. THIS WAS DEMONSTRATED BY COCKCROFT AND WALTON IN 1932, EXPERIMENTALLY. - ALBERT EINSTIEN

AND I BELIEVE THAT IN THESE EVER CHANGING TIMES

THAT THESE THINGS STAY THE SAME

THAT WHAT ONE SEES CAN BE SO DIFFERENT

FROM ANOTHER PERSON’S REFERENCE FRAME

WHEN UNDERSTANDING FLOODS YOUR MIND

THEN YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS REALLY TRUE

THAT THE TREES ARE BREATHING TOO.

 

ME LOVIN’ YOU LOVIN’ ME

WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, LADY OF MY DREAMS BESIDE ME

MY HEAVENLY ANGEL, MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE

THE LORD MUST HAVE SEEN YOU’RE THE ONE FOR ME

ME LOVIN’ YOU LOVIN’ ME

I WATCH YOU SLEEPING AND I THINK BACK

TO THE DAY THAT I MET YOU IF I KNEW THEN

I’D HAVE FALLEN DOWN ON MY KNEES

THANKED GOD FOR YOU AND ME

ME LOVIN’ YOU LOVIN’ ME

SHOULD I AWAKE YOU TO GREET THE DAY

TALK OF OUR LOVE, DON’T LET TIME SLIP AWAY

OUR LIFE, OUR HOPES, AND DREAMS

AND WHAT TODAY MAY BRING

ME LOVIN’ YOU LOVIN’ ME

I'D HAVE FALLEN DOWN ON MY KNEES

THANKED GOD FOR YOU AND ME

ME LOVIN' YOU LOVIN' ME

SHOULD I AWAKE YOU TO GREET THE DAY

TALK OF OUR LOVE, DON'T LET TIME SLIP AWAY

OUR THOUGHTS OUR PRAYERS AND DREAMS

AND WHAT TODAY MAY BRING

ME LOVIN' YOU LOVIN' ME

SOMEWHERE IN TIME

WERE YOU THERE?

I REMEMBER THE WAY YOU WALKED IN THE ROOM

I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES AND YOU SUDDENLY KNEW ME

FROM WAVES OF DEPARTED TIME

HAVE OUR SOULS WALTZED TOGETHER THROUGH TIME AND DIMENSION

SPINNING THE THREADS OF OUR LIVES?

OH OH OH

HAVE WE BEEN HERE BEFORE

SOMEWHERE IN TIME?

SOMEWHERE IN TIME

LIKE A BLACK AND WHITE POSTCARD

SENT TO US FROM THE PAST

SPEAKING OF LAUGHTER, OF PASSION AND HEARTACHE

TWO LOVERS ARE PICTURED ENTANGLED AS ONE

AND SOMEWHERE IN TIME

COULD THAT POSTCARD HAVE BEEN YOU AND ME?

WOULD WE RATHER BE

SOMEWHERE IN TIME?

SOMEWHERE IN TIME

DOES IT ALL START OVER

UNTIL WE MAKE IT RIGHT?

WILL WE BE TOGETHER AS LONG AS FOREVER?

WILL FATE TWIST ITS COIL AROUND OUR LIVES?

AND SOMEWHERE IN TIME

WILL WE COME FACE TO FACE AND SEE

THAT IT’S YOU AND ME

SOMEWHERE IN TIME?

 

SOMEDAY

John Gajdos

John Gajdos - rhythm guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, vocals

SOMEDAY I’M GONNA LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND

INTO ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME

WHERE DEATH WILL NO MORE HAVE IT’S STING

ON THAT DAY I WILL NOT BE THE ONLY ONE

SOME WILL BE CAUGHT UP BE THE SON

SOME WILL BE LEFT HERE TO REMAIN

WHEN THE SPIRIT GOES AWAY

THERE WILL BE NO PLACE TO HIDE

MAN WILL BE LEFT TO HIS OWN DESIGN

ALL OF THE THINGS OF THE EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY

AND YOU DON’T WANT TO BE LEFT BEHIND

YOU CAN COME WITH ME

DON’T YOU WANT TO GO

WHERE YOU’LL BE FOREVER FREE?

COME FLY AWAY BEYOND THE FARTHEST STAR

THE EARTH WILL BE REMADE

AND WE’LL BE BACK AGAIN SOMEDAY

(voice of Jesus)

I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END

I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA

I AM COMING SOON

I DREAMED OF YOU AGAIN LAST NIGHT

YOU SMILED AND SAID YOU WERE DOIN' ALRIGHT

AND AS YOU WALKED AWAY I SIGHED

LOSING YOU WAS THE WORST THING IN MY LIFE

SO EVERY NIGHT I PRAY

I WILL SEE THE DAY

I CAN TOUCH YOUR FACE AGAIN

THE TIME WE HAD TO SPEND

WAS NO MORE THAN MERE GRAINS OF SAND

IN THE HOURGLASS OF TIME

WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME NOW?

I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEHOW I KNOW

IN A PLACE WHERE ANGELS MEET THE SKY

AN ANGEL CAME TO ME TODAY

SAID SHE TAUGHT YOU THE WAY

YOU WILL SEE HER AGAIN

SHE’S SMILING OVER YOU RIGHT NOW

SHE LOVED YOU SO, THOUGH SHE HAD TO GO HOME

SO EVERY NIGHT I PRAY

I WILL SEE THE DAY

I CAN FEEL YOUR LOVE AGAIN

THE TIME WE HAD TO SPEND

WAS NO MORE THAN MERE GRAINS OF SAND

IN THE HOURGLASS OF TIME

AND IN MY HEART I KNEW

ALL THE THINGS YOU TAUGHT ME WERE TRUE

THERE’S A PLACE WHERE ANGELS MEET THE SKY

ONE NIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN

ANGELS CLOSED YOUR EYES

YOU WOKE UP IN GOD’S ARMS

I’LL SEE YOU WHEN THE ANGELS CLOSE MY EYES

I’LL SEE YOU WHERE THE ANGELS MEET THE SKY

 

TO BE ALONE

John Gajdos

RAIN STREAMING DOWN MY WINDOW PANE

HERE I AM ALONE AGAIN

BY MYSELF AS FAR AS I CAN SEE

…WISH THERE WAS SOMEONE FOR ME

HAD A LOVE I LOVED WITH ALL MY HEART

NEVER FOUND OUT WHY WE HAD TO PART

MAYBE IT WAS HER OR MAYBE ME

HOPE SOMEDAY THAT I MAY SEE

CAUSE IT FEELS AS THOUGH I WAS MEANT TO BE ALONE

AND IT FEELS AS THOUGH I WAS MEANT TO BE ALONE

THE RAIN IS SOFT IT SOOTHES THE PAIN

I’M LOOKING FOR A LOVE AGAIN

AND WHEN I FIND LOVE HOW WILL I KNOW?

AND WHY DOES LOVE HAVE TO COME AND GO?

CAUSE IT FEELS AS THOUGH I WAS MEANT TO BE ALONE

AND IT FEELS AS THOUGH I WAS MEANT TO BE ALONE

AND IT FEELS, FEELS SO LIKE I WAS MEANT TO BE ALONE

DREAM OF LONG AGO. WHEN LIVIN’ WAS EASY AND SLOW

WE’D DREAM OF YOU AND ME. AND ALL THE THINGS OUR LIVES WOULD BE.

WHERE DID ALL OUR LOVE GO?

PLEASE DON’T SAY GOODBYE. IF YOU LEFT ME RIGHT NOW I WOULD DIE.

SO DON’T YOU GO AWAY. CAN’T YOU SEE THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD STAY?

I NEED YOU HERE RIGHT NEXT TO ME DEAR. DON’T BE COLD TO ME.

THIS AIN’T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

CALL ME ONE MORE TIME. IF YOU WANT I WILL GIVE BACK THE DIME.

I’VE GOT A FEW THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BEFORE YOU GO AWAY.

I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES. I’M BEGGIN’ YOU PLEASE. DON’T DO THESE THINGS TO ME

NO, THIS AIN’T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

OH NO. OH NO.

WHY CAN’T YOU SEE THAT IT’S ME?

NO, THIS AIN’T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

THIS AIN’T THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

 

THE POP SONG

I’D LIKE TO BE AN ESKIMO ON TOP THE OLD NORTH POLE

I’D BUILD MYSELF AN IGLOO AND I’D DIG A FISHIN’ HOLE

A HOLE

I’D HOOK MYSELF A WHALE AND I’D PULL HIM TO THE TOP

I’D MAKE ME BLUBBER SANDWICHES

I’D EAT EM AND I’D WASH THEM DOWN WITH POP

I'D LIKE TO BE AN INDIAN I THINK IT'D BE QUITE FUN

I'D RIDE AROUND ON MY HORSE AND SAY "HOW" TO EVERYONE

EVERYONE

I'D STICK MY EAR UPON THE GROUND AND LISTEN TILL I'D STOP

I'D MAKE ME RATTLE SNAKES FOR LUNCH

I'D EAT 'EM AND I'D WASH THEM DOWN WITH POP

AND OF ALL THESE THINGS I’D LIKE TO BE

I KNOW ONE THING FOR SURE

I GOTTA HAVE MY POP WITH ME

I’D LIKE TO BE PIRATE AND I’D SAIL ALL AROUND

I’D HOIST THE MIZZEN MAIN RIGHT UP AND BAT THEM HATCHES DOWN

HATCHES DOWN

I’D WALK AROUND UPON THE BRIDGE MY WOODEN LEG WOULD CLOP

I’D GO TO THE APPLE BARREL AND I’D EAT EM AND I’D WASH THEM DOWN WITH POP

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

PAST WHERE EAGLES FLY

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

WHERE YOU’LL NEVER CRY AGAIN

GONE FROM DECISIONS

GONE FROM THIS PRISON

FREE AS A BIRD

GONE FROM OUR CONVERSATION

LEAVING ALL YOUR FRUSTRATIONS BEHIND

SOMEDAY OVER THE RAINBOW

WHEN WE MEET ABOVE

SOMEDAY OVER THE RAINBOW

WHERE HE RULES WITH PEACE AND LOVE

NO MORE DILUTION

NO MORE CONFUSION

ALL THINGS ARE REVEALED

GOD IN HIS AWESOME GLORY

TELLS HIS CHILDREN THE STORY OF TIME

I WANNA GO HIGHER AND HIGHER

WHERE THE STREETS ARE GOLD

I WANNA GO HOME

NO MORE CRYING NO MORE PAIN

DANCING AND SINGING

TOGETHER AGAIN

ALL TOGETHER AGAIN

WE WILL DANCE AND SING AGAIN

ALL TOGETHER AGAIN
