The Cross - Prince

If there isn't light when no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe A story told that can't be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah Fade away, fade away Vanish into small Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Oh, it's the sign Feels like the time On a small world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer falls If an echo doesn't answer When it hears a certain sound Then the beast is free to wander But never is seen around Then it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross All right Sail away To the sky From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten song Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong Reach up above your dreams of pleasure Give a life to those who die Look beyond your own horizons Sail the ship of sighs And it's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Fade away, fade away I can't accept it any more On a real world west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere, all There's a rainbow, see it shimmer When the summer falls From the book the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten song Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong It's the sign of the southern cross It's the sign of the southern cross Don't live for pleasure Make life your treasure Fade away Eight miles high, about to fall And no one there to catch you Look for the sign, the time The sign of the southern cross Play on

With our last step We dance across this line into a new world Evening shadows fall and it must follow As the night, the day We wait for our given days and sleep What days may come, as the sun must rise again? Days like a flipped carnival Where up is down and down is up And life is mixed with death Are what we must survive If I wake from dreamless sleep May tomorrow begin like a dream?

Now that I fell into your arms My only lover Give out to give in I search for the capsule I lost Drag me to hell In the valley of The Dalles Like my mother Give wings to a stone It's only the shadow of a cross I slept on my back In the shade of the meadowlark Like a champion Get drunk to get laid I take one more hit when you depart I'll drive that stake through the center of my heart Lonely vampire Inhaling its fire I'm chasing the dragon too far There's blood on that blade Fuck me, I'm falling apart My assassin Like Casper the ghost There's no shade in the shadow of the cross

Jersey made, I was born and raised in the garden state And my mama prayed I would trust in God Growing up is hard so I made mistakes In the DMV getting my degree It was fun and games all 'fore the drinking again, oh I tried to fit in but didn't I'm different, yeah, I know (know) The houses I stayed in were great But they never felt like home (so) I'm going cross country I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong I'm going cross country Know they might judge me, I ain't gotta prove 'em wrong 'Cause I know it's okay to be in my own lane When I'm doing what they say can't be done I'm going cross country I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong (where I belong) Went to ATL where the nights are long Wrote a thousand songs that will never sell 'Til I dropped the bomb that would put me on Did it by myself, uh Heard the living's good out in Hollywood Thought I might as well, uh And I signed a deal (oh) I tried to fit in but didn't I'm different, yeah, I know (know) The houses I stayed in were great But they never felt like home (so) I'm going cross country I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong (I belong) I'm going cross country Know they might judge me I ain't gotta prove 'em wrong (prove 'em wrong) 'Cause I know it's okay to be in my own lane When I'm doing what they say can't be done I'm going cross country I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong (where I belong) Cross country I won't stop running 'til I find where I belong I'm going cross country Know they might judge me But I ain't gotta, I ain't gotta prove them wrong Ooh, ooh Ooh, oh-oh Ooh, ooh Ooh, oh-oh

We're fast asleep but wide awake Hoping our dreams come true We don't know what will come our way But we will feel brand new The stars go out We fade to black I'm counting down I will meet you there We say goodbye for one more night And I see you Like asteroids Soaring through the sky We feel like Strangers passing by Don't fight it Let our worlds collide We got to 'Cause I need you Like asteroids Soaring through the sky We feel like Strangers passing by Don't fight it Let our worlds collide We got to 'Cause I need you We can't really live without it Getting lost inside the void When the emptiness surrounds us Everything is possible My body feels lighter You're taking me higher I see you The stars go out We fade to black I'm counting down I will meet you there We say goodbye for one more night And I see you Like asteroids Soaring through the sky We feel like Strangers passing by Don't fight it Let our worlds collide We got to 'Cause I need you Like asteroids Soaring through the sky We feel like Strangers passing by Don't fight it Let our worlds collide We got to 'Cause I need you We're fast asleep but wide awake We're fast asleep but wide awake

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
