LOOK AT YOURSELF (Ken Hensley)

I see you running
Don't know what you're running from
Nobody's coming what d'you do that was so wrong
Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself

If you need assistance, or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding, tell me what you're frightened of
You've got a friend, just look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just look at yourself

Look back and turn back, look at yourself
Don't be afraid just look at yourself

I WANNA BE FREE (Ken Hensley)

As I wake up every day with no new songs to play 
Feeling like I ought to pack my bag and run
My imagination flies to some other sunny skies 
Where I felt so good and everything was done
And my time was my own and my heart felt so free 

I don't mind a little rain but it doesn't seem the same 
When the clouds shut out your beauty from my eyes
There's a storm inside my head and I know it doesn't lead
To a clearer day when nobody will cry
I can't stand here alone and I need to be free

So bring fire and bring steel for you know the way I feel
Bring a silver horse to carry me away
I'm no stranger, I'm a friend and my pain will never end 
Till the world will let us live our lives as one
And our time is our own and our hearts can be free

I wanna be free, I wanna be free

JULY MORNING (David Byron/Ken Hensley)

There I was on a July morning 
Looking for love
With the strength of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun
At the sound of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm and the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
la, la, la ...

I was looking for love in the strangest places 
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned
I must have tried more than a thousand faces
But not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
la, la, la ...

TEARS IN MY EYES (Ken Hensley)

I thought no-one could keep us from sharing the rest our lives
Like a fool I believed you were true and you had no disguise
There's a clear blue sky outside 
And the summer is fine
But with tears in my eyes I'm
No longer pretending you're mine

It's the same weary story of a woman abusing her man 
So I'll have to forget you though I'm not even sure I can

SHADOWS OF GRIEF (Ken Hensley/David Byron)

You're looking at me like I must be mad
But I've been through all this before
You'll kick and kick until I'm down
So don't think you're coming past my door
You think that love is such a pain
So the more it hurts the more you laugh 
You take it and shake it up and down 
Till you think you've had enough

But you wont get enough of my love

If you want to carry on in the same old way
Treating everyone like a piece of dirt
Take it and break it and throw it away
There wont be anyone left to hurt

North, South, East and West
Wherever you go you'll find the same
And the only way you'll ever learn 
Just realise that you're to blame

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE (Ken Hensley/David Byron)

So you think you've found a way of living
That prevents you losing any sleep
Well my friend take this that I am giving
It's your peace of mind you oughta keep 

You'll run into trouble for sure
By living behind a locked door

Will you run the risk of being taunted
By doing what you want to do
Or do you prefer to have your whole life to be haunted
By the ones who choose to care for you

Beware of their motives my friend
Take care you're still there at the end

Watch out for winter it'll bite you with cold 
Black spirits trying hard to bribe you with gold

Would you steal a nickel from a blind man
Well right now I do believe you would

It's not the thought of you doing it that hurts me
It's the mind behind it that's no good

If this is your way I don't want to know
There's only so far I can go

I want go no further not for you or anyone
I have my own ideas on what should be done

LOVE MACHINE (Ken Hensley/Mick Box/David Byron)

Lovely little lady you've got me on the run
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun
But I don't care 'cause I've got to know

You said you were a loser
The kind that came off worst
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst
But I don't care 'cause I've got to know

The only time she's happy
Is when the bullets fly
And she'll make you feel you're better than any other guy
And I don't care 'cause I've got to know

WHAT'S WITHIN MY HEART (Ken Hensley)

Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they've gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart

May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game

The one who doesn't give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am and
What's within my heart

I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble and
Cry upon the autumn stone below

And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told

You gave your love to one
Who only wants what you seem to be
And doesn't really care for you or
What's within your heart

On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don't suppose
Because I'm gone, my soul is dead
For I'll be here in spirit
And our love once more

There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety and
Take my life in hand

Then I'll know it's not someone
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares for what I am and
What's within my heart

What's within my heart ...
