Keep on - Coming on - Keep on
You got me movin’ to the rhythm of your love
The very heavens are openin’ above
My mind is surely gone
And from this moment on
The magic you create drives me wild ----- extend to chorus
Chorus
Keep on - coming on - keep on
Keep on - coming on - keep on
Just keep on - coming on - keep on
Why don’t you keep on - coming on - keep on
Oh baby keep on - coming on - keep on ------- extend into 2nd verse
Make up your mind c’mon and find the way to dreams
These things are never really quite the way they seem
Let’s take it from the start
Before we drift apart
And recreate that fantasy again ------- extend to chorus
Chorus
Ah said keep on - coming on - keep on
Why don’t you keep on - coming on - keep on
Keep on - coming on - keep on, Keep on - coming on - keep on,
Keep on - coming on - keep on, Keep on - coming on - keep on.
(Building up tempo in last two lines to finish)

Island of Skye (***) (3:28)
Towering mountains reach out into space
Pounding waves rushing along the rock face
Fishing boats leaving, with seagulls on high
Call out the name of my Island of Skye
The songs and the music fill my heart with pride
A soft gentle sadness that I try to hide,
The cliffs and the moorland, where eagles may fly,
Reminders again of the Island of Skye
Bridge
ooOh the Misty Island - ooOh of the highlands
A gem of the ocean, over the sea
That land is my land it’s calling to me
Chorus
Oh Island of Skye, the land of my birth
The places and people, the salt of the earth
Memories of childhood, that bring me a smile
Please let me return - - ooOh let me return
To my Misty Isle
Bridge
ooOh the Misty Island – ooOh of the highlands
A gem of the ocean, over the sea
That land is my land it’s calling to me
Chorus (with changes)
Oh Island of Skye, the land of my birth
The places and people, the salt of the earth
Memories of childhood, that bring me a smile
Please let me return - - let me return
Calling to me – Calling to me -- (echo)
Let me return to my Misty Isle
Let me return to my Misty Isle.

I’m Flying High
So many people told me
That I couldn’t fly
Then you came into my life
An’ lifted me so hi-hi-high---
I’m flying higher
Than I’ve ever flown before
I’m flying higher
An’ all I want is more-more-more
I’m flying hi-hi-hi-high---
I’ve never been so high before Chorus
We’re reachin’ for the sky now
Ah couldn’t ask for any more
I’m flying high----I’m flying hi-hi-high----
(Repeat 1st verse, then Chorus)

A World Together? (***)
Christmas joy and birthday fun
Opening presents one by one
No special day to shed some light
The broken doll is held so tight
Picnics, swimming at the beach
Friends and family all in reach
A windswept hovel in the sand,
No one comes to lend a hand
A world together ---- but so far apart---- Chorus
We have the means to do--- so--- much
Let’s give them more than straws to clutch.
A bruise kissed better, then a hug
Playing games on a cosy rug
Wounds so deep they may not heal
This game of life seems so unreal
Bath-time fun delighted screams
Bedtime story happy dreams
No clean water, ragged clothes
Haunted nightmares with no repose
Theirs is a bittersweet refrain---- Bridge
Where only fragile hope remains
Schooldays learning how to write
Painting pictures with such delight
No books or joy to fill the breach,
Is this what life has come to teach?
A world together ---- but so far apart---- Chorus
We have the means to do--- so--- much
Let’s give them more than straws to clutch.

This song really needs two singers (Duo) Preferably one male & one female, to sing the two parts to the song - in each verse - where the first two lines would be sung by one singer and the last two by the other.

MY TIME (My Place, My Country)
I’ve travelled widely, this whole world over
lookin’ for somethin’ that really wasn’t there
like that elusive four-leaf clover
‘stead I wound up inside the foxes lair
Some things I’ve done were truly wrongful
I’ve paid the price now, far too many times
When greed sets in it sure is harmful
And only leads the way - to many crimes
This is my time, my place - - my country (chorus)
that’s the way it will always remain
‘cause in this land of the free
there’s no better place to be
it’s so good to be home once again
I’ve been thinking my life over
putting right the wrongs I have done
can’t change this life for any other
but now I know for sure -- the battle’s won
This is my time, my place - - my country (chorus)
that’s the way it will always remain
‘cause in this land of the free
there’s no better place to be
it’s so good to be home once again
