"Weep In Silence"
(Hensley Wetton)

You who thought your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you who had seen man dyin'
And you heard their children cryin'
While their women weep in silence

And you, who thought you were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then you'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life

And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way
And the people that you try to show the way
Never believe you, never believe you - no way

And you, who thought you were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence

THE RIVER

River, rising to hide
Across the midnight
Wanderin’ westward by daylight
Take us and lead us to tomorrow
As fast as you come and can flow

River, you’re windin’
An unending rhythm
The sooner keep
Movin’ to warn him
The spirit that keeps
Us from sinking
Guide us from going astray

Point us a way
To a shoreline ahead
Through the mist and the fog
Of this valley of death
Too many years we have
Walked in a sleep
Now we’re awaken and ready fo flee

River, we hitchhikers
Beggin’ for mercy
Survive us from yesterday’s curses
Don’t damn us
Before you receive us
We’re needin’ your face
And your trust
