   The Happy Tapes           (Tune: Dido, Let Me Go)
   ===============

With the light on, I can see
A thousand points of reality
Sometimes I'm blind, Somtimes I'm unclear, 
Of the road I take, though these long years
All there is, at least it seems to me,
Is in my head, waiting to be set free
The flame is hot, the candle's near
High on hopes, disolving fear

Yes there's a chance, at least for me
That life will show me the way it should be
There's nobody there yet you're everywhere 
All I need is one answered prayer.


--

With this sword, I will stand
With this potion, the cure is at hand.
Sometimes it's hard to really be yourself
Weighed down with chains tied by everyone else
All I am is all I expect to be,
I am not perfect, just perfectly me
The fire is burning and the ice has melted away
The drugs don't work, the life is here to stay..

At last there's a chance, at least for me
To bring to the world this destiny
There's nobody there yet you're everywhere 
All I need is just one answered prayer.

--

The sound of freedom fills the air, the wind blows though my trees,
The dancing force that I have found is waiting to carry me -
Over fields of dreams, and planes of hope, to a land across the seas
The eden garden flowers at night - the truth is plain to see...

That there's this chance, at last for me
To see the world, the way it should be
Everybody's there, they're everywhere!
All it takes, is the time to care
All it took.. was just... one answered prayer.
