Spiral in the sky – wandering so high Spiral down below – saying “Ho, ho ho!” Ha, ha, he – hee, hee, hee – things are going good you see Ha, ha, he – hee, hee, hee – look inside, we all can see… The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life Spiral in my heart – it’s time to start Spiraling around – moving to the groovy sound Get on up – get on down – wear a smile and lose the frown Get on up – get on down – things are going ‘round and ‘round… The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life Spiral in the sky – wandering so high Spiral down below – saying “Ho, ho ho!” Ha, ha, he – hee, hee, hee – things are going good you see Ha, ha, he – hee, hee, hee – look inside, we all can see… The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life The Spiral of Life

Do you remember if it started in the summer or a rainy night indoors? When we were drawn together by a sweet scent from our pores. We danced the days together and we sang the night away, But could we ever figure out a way to make love stay? Well we think we’re on a roll – we start to lose control, One thing will make us who-o-ole: A way to make love stay. A way to make love stay. It started as a sunset kiss - we danced beneath the moon. And though the night was magic, the dawn came all too soon. Our hearts were soaring up so high like eagles on the wing. We scanned the years ahead and could not fathom just one thing. When you reach out your hand will I finally understand? You know that I’ll be da-a-amned, if I know: How to make love stay. A way to make love stay. Our hearts they were aflame with all that passion and desire. You’ve heard the story many times – like Icarus we flew on higher. It’s history and her-story – the turning of a page. I ask the gods to answer us the question of the age. We’re born and then we’re gone, our kisses are outworn, One question still clings o-o-on: A way to make love stay. A way to make love stay. A way to make love stay.

Everybody makes mistakes – There’s no exception to this rule Everybody makes mistakes – If you think you never do then you’re a fool Everybody makes mistakes – But do you got what it takes To learn from your lesson, and get it right the next time around? Sometimes it takes a while to learn a lesson – trial and error ‘til we work it out For all these little things we count our blessings – ‘coz life is for learning, and there ain’t no doubt What can you do when one and three make two, and it don’t seem to make no sense? Look deep inside, for the truth will not hide – you’ll have chance to make recompense. Everybody makes mistakes – There’s no exception to this rule Everybody makes mistakes – If you think you never do then you’re a fool Everybody makes mistakes – But do you got what it takes To learn from your lesson, and get it right the next time around? Show me someone who never missteps, and I’ll show you someone who’s not yet born Know that sometimes it is painful and hard - know that sometimes you will fall Don’t beat yourself up, ‘coz to err is human – forgive but don’t forget – there’s no point fuming Get on the track, set your sights and get back – to the destination in your heart Everybody makes mistakes – There’s no exception to this rule Everybody makes mistakes – If you think you never do then you’re a fool Everybody makes mistakes – But do you got what it takes To learn from your lesson, and get it right the next time around? Sometimes it seems, you’ve lost all your dreams - so easy to give up hope That your free will, had a license to kill – and they gave you out too much rope Well just check the manual they gave you at birth – a step-by-step manual for your life on earth And if you do your best, no-one could despise ya – We have to mess it up, to get any wiser Everybody makes mistakes, Everybody makes mistakes… Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody…. Everybody makes mistakes – There’s no exception to this rule Everybody makes mistakes – If you think you never do then you’re a fool Everybody makes mistakes – But do you got what it takes To learn from your lesson, and get it right the next time around? To learn from your lesson, and get it right the next time around? To learn from your lesson, and get it right the next time...
