Different World

[Smith / Harris]

You lead me on the path

Keep showing me the way

I feel a little lost

A little strange today

I think I'll take a hold

Of whatever comes my way

Then we'll see what happens

Take it day by day

I though I had it all

I had it all worked out

Just what my future held

That there would be no doubt

But then the card came up

And I took another turn

But I don't know if it's

Fulfillment that I yearn

Tell me what you can hear

And then tell me what you see

Everybody has a different way

To view the world

I would like you to know

When you see the simple things

To appreciate this life

It's not too late to learn

Don't want to be here

Somewhere I'd rather be

But when I get there

I might find it's not for me

Don't know what I want

Or where I want to be

I'm feeling more confused

The more the days go by

2. These Colours Don't Run

[Smith / Harris / Dickinson]

It's the same in every country

When you say you're leaving

Left behind the loved ones

Waiting silent in the hall

Where you're going lies adventure

others only dream of

Red and green light this is real

and so you go to war

For the passion, for the glory

For the memories, for the money

You're a soldier, for your country

What's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth

We fly a flag in some foreign earth

We sailed away like our fathers before

These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war

There is no one that will save you

Going down in flames

No surrender certain death you

Look it in the eye

On the shores of tyranny you

Lonely unmarked graves

For the passion, for the glory

For the memories, for the money
