[00:20.35]With the graceful and grotesque the morning rings
[00:27.46]Hear the garbage truck roll by
[00:30.55]Hear the birds begin to sing
[00:33.35]Their song of love and praise
[00:36.99]And may their happy sound
[00:40.23]Be strong enough to raise
[00:43.62]Our spirits off the ground
[00:48.70]Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance
[00:58.72]
[01:05.38]I'm on the trail of a storm and everywhere I look
[01:12.16]Appear the ones that life has torn
[01:15.49]Like pages from a book
[01:17.95]Left to soldier on
[01:21.62]No shoulder for to lean I'd be lost without a song
[01:28.06]But if your love wasn't there for me
[01:33.15]I just wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance
[01:45.02]
[01:50.90]From where I sit
[01:52.10]There's too many eyes crying tears
[01:55.57]Too many lives living in fear
[01:58.81]Wondering where their sweet dreams have all gone
[02:05.26]Too many hands stirring the pot In a land of haves and have-nots All wondering why it's all gone wrong
[02:18.09]
[02:30.24]Now as the ballet and burlesque commence to play
[02:36.92]Give to me the strength to act
[02:40.18]And not look the other way
[02:42.80]For there's a war outside
[02:46.60]Can't take it lying down
[02:49.68]Got to look it in the eye
[02:53.35]We've got to stand our ground
[02:57.62]Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance
[03:07.82]Love don't stand a ghost of a chance
