Lyrics - Vision: Easy Answers

Easy Answers - (C. Mayfield)

Whose name you screaming out in the night?
I know it ain't mine.
Should’ve made all those decisions baby
Before you told all those lies.

I feel like I’m running through the night.
But I ain’t getting no where.
I feel like when I get to where I’m going
You’re gonna be right there.

I know you think I’m crazy, for the way that I’m feeling now.
I know I seem crazy, gotta get out somehow…

There ain’t no easy answers. For the way that I feel.
There ain’t no easy answers, when you’re love’s for real.

Do You Know - (P. Blackwell)

Wander 'round downtown
Tonight the streets are empty
And the rain's so serene.

Take a left and then cross main
Head into the alleyway
And though the door that tonight's escape from reality...Say

Do you know what it's like my friend
To live in the story you created?
Do you know what it's like? Tell the truth.
Do you know what it's like my friend
When they all want a piece of you?
There's never enough to go around

Every night is pretty much the same
Find another way to numb your brain but
It's a dead end road paved in gold

Got a bottle that I call friend
Getting home at 5AM
Sleep all day then it starts again...so tell me

All and all it's pretty much the same
I've only got myself to blame
But I wear the mask that fools them all.

Somewhere in all of us, there's a little bit in all of us
Somewhere in all of us, it can happen to any of us.

Love or Money - (S. Eakins)

Dollar and cents, nickels and dimes
Is that what it takes to make you mine?
Fancy cars are just a start
Is that what it takes to buy your heart?

I been searching for the real thing baby, got one question on my mind....

What makes the world go round? Is it love or is it money?
What makes the world go round? Is it love or is it money?

I see your stocks are rising higher and higher
I found the flame that burns your desire.
The high cost of love is a game your playing
Your love and affection ain't worth the bills I'm payin'!

I been searching for the real thing baby, got one question on my mind....

What makes the world go round? Is it love or is it money?
What makes the world go round? Is it love or is it money?

Cry Tomorrow - (C. Mayfield)

One summer evening don’t sit so well
When you need someone, everyone can tell.
I can hear he echo of my own heartbeat
All settled in, but I wish I could leave.

Outside the mist falls down like tears
And with everyone of them I think of all the years.
I travel back through time to find the truth
I’ve been there a thousand times, but it’s no use.

I’ll cry tomorrow. There’s too much pain today.
I’ll cry tomorrow. Maybe the tears will wash this all away.

Real For A Minute - (C. Mayfield)

Nothing is as it seems. Could it be we’re all in a dream?
Lady says no, she means yes. All of the facts are anybodies guess.

Gotta get real for a minute. Stop my life. Real for a minute.
Real for a minute. Then I’ll come back to here. Gotta get real for a minute.

My head is up in the clouds. Give myself a chance to fall.
Reality is just too much for my brain, I guess I’m just afraid of it all.

I peeked inside the door. There were no monsters or traps.
This light of knowledge I’ve found, will chase away the dark.

Angel - (S. Eakins)

When I look back in time on our lives together
I seem to find, as I write you this letter.
What started out as friendship has grown so strong you'll see.
Cause when I look at you, I see my destiny.
The angels above must have granted me one wish...

You're the angel on my shoulder. Life can be so hard sometimes.
You're the angel on my shoulder. Life can be so unkind.

Your eyes how they dance in the glow of laughter
Like a warm summer day, sun rays we try to capture.
The fire in your kiss, sets my heart aglow.
And when you wrap your arms around me, I feel it to my soul.
There aint too much in this old life I cant get through, baby without you by my side..

You're the angel on my shoulder. Life can be so hard sometimes.
You're the angel on my shoulder. Life can be so unkind.

You know I love you with all of my heart, soul and body...

You're the angel on my shoulder. Life can be so hard sometimes.
You're the angel on my shoulder. Life can be so unkind.

Into Your Fire - (C. Mayfield)

I’m alone again. Where I’ve always been.
But I’m alright as long as the sun is high.
But lord it’s hell at night.

There’s a moth on my lampshade.
He thinks he wants what’s in the light.
Just like me he’s drawn into he fire from his own desire.

Can I fly into your fire tonight?
I’m so weak I just need a place to light
I'll probably get burned alright
Can I fly into your fire tonight?

When my heart has been burned, I’ll struggle home tonight.
Saying this time I’ve really learned
But I know I’ll call tomorrow night.

Beautiful - (P. Blackwell)

You're B-E-utiful
And you're mine all mine
Yeah U-R wonderful
Want to be my partner in crime?

Watching you is like a dream
I follow the shadow that falls
And when I look over your shoulder
I see things I've never saw.

I don't know how to tell the story
You know I never read the book
I didn't know that you would know it
When you gave me that look

Because you're mine all mine.

You're everything that I hoped for
You make me feel so complete
You make me want to reach higher
You know you keep me off the street.

You're B-E-utiful
And you're mine all mine
Yeah U-R wonderful
You've got me dangling on your line.

Look At You - (C. Mayfield)

The neon lights are shining bright tonight
And they look good on your long blonde hair
When you’re out getting wild on the town
You know I wish I could be there…

But Oh, oh Look at you!
Oh oh what you trying to prove?
Oh oh Look a you!

Everybody is watching you
Wondering what you’re gonna do next
I wish for once on a Friday night
You’d call me and give my mind some rest!

Babe you know what it does to me
When I see you out with somebody new
All the things that you said to me
I feel like a number one fool.

Run To Your Brother - (C. Mayfield)

So much pain and fear
Why make it hard while we’re here
Ain’t it enough that we’re dying
We need a love you can’t deny.

Where’s the answer you seek?
I think it lies deep inside of you
Look for the key to unlock that door
Unlock the door for me and you, me and you..

Run to your brother
Run to your sister too
Run to help each other
We can make it through.

Do you find yourself feeling down?
Not ever knowing which way to turn?
Look to your brother and you’ll find peace
Love one another the way it should be, way it should be!

Give It Some Time - (P. Blackwell)

How did I get to know ya?
You're like a fragrance of a magnolia
There is something in the making
On the trail that we're blazing.

I can't say what I'm thinking
Words betray anticipation
But before you I was grieving
You gave me something more to believe in.

You know you've got to give it some time
You know you've got to give us some time
You know you've got to give it some time
Just a little time.

You're looking for a reaction
I'm looking for a distraction
Burning bridges to the past
They're burning fast but I want to make them last

I see the light of a new day
In your voice and all the things that you say
You've been waiting for me at light speed
But a little time is all that I need

You know you've got to give me just a little more time.

So Mean - (C. Mayfield)

They said that you were not my style
They told me you were wrong
But still my hearts filled with desire
And I’m still singing the same old song.

You’re so mean. How can you do a boy that way?
You’re so mean. You tortured me in every way.

I didn’t see the danger signs
I even thought you were mine
I guess that’s why I’m crying
All those times that you were lying.

Everything they said was true
Now I'm here without you
And I'm wondering if it's just me
Or should I have agreed.

A Long Way Home - (P. Blackwell)

At times it seems life is the just the same interstate
Everything looks the same, nothing changes but the date
People, signs, and towns go flashing by
And day turns to night, another day in the life.

Before you know it you're back on a different stage
You do your number then they roll you back in the cage
She told me that she loved me from the start
I shook my head and made my escape in the dark.

It's such a long way home, it's such a long way home

A thousand miles closer, we'll see if I remember you
We'll find out then if all those things you said were true
She told me that she loved me from the start
She smiled at me and threw me the keys to her heart.

It's been so long since I've been there.

Back In Time - (C. Mayfield)

Stormy days take me back
Back to when you were almost mine
High above everyone
Way up there next to the sun.

We only have ourselves to blame for drawing the line
Between the here and now and the yesterday we’d like...
But you can’t go back in time.

I never thought I’d look back
Like staring into a crystal ball
We choose our roads the best we can
It’s too bad we can’t have them all.

If we could only figure how to travel to the past
Then maybe we would know for sure which love was meant to last
But you can’t go back in time.
