Fields Of JoyWords & Music by Michael Kamen/Hal FredericksArranged by Doug Neslund & Lenny KravitzLet's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I touch the leaves that touch the sky
Just you and I through fields of joy
All trouble slowly fades away
Slowly slowly fades away
I hold your hand inside my hand
Across the land through fields of joy
The sound of music that we hear
The blend of colors in the air
All cities, mountains disappear from view
All truth and beauty near to me and you
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
With you through the fields
The fields of joyLet's wander slowly through the fields
Slowly slowly through the fields
I know our love will never die
Just you and IThrough fields of joy
Through fields of joy
Always On The RunWritten by: Lenny Kravitz/SlashMy mama said
That your life is a gift
And my mama saidThere's much weight you will lift
And my mama said
Leave those bad boys alone
And my mama said
Be home before the dawn
And my mama said
You can be rich or poor
But my mama said
You can be big or small
But I'm always on the run
My mama said
That it's good to be fruitful
But my mama saidDon't take more than a mouthful
And my mama said
That it's good to be natural
And my mama said
That it's good to be factual
But I'm always on the run
My mama said
Baby don't ride that crazy horse
And my mama said
You must push with much force
And my mama said
Go get all that you're after
And my mama said
That love's all that matters
But I'm always on the run
Stand By My WomanWritten by: Lenny Kravitz/Henry Hirsch/S. Pasch/A. KrizanThere were times I wasn't kind
And there were times I wasn't even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say goodbye
When you want to talkI'm on the phone
But now baby I am here for you aloneI'm gonna stand by my woman nowI'm gonna stand by my woman now'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a home

And there were times I wouldn't hold your hand
But baby now I'm here for you'Cause baby I am so in love with youI'm gonna stand by my woman nowI'm gonna stand by my woman now'Cause I can't live my life alone
Without a homeI'm gonna stand by my woman nowI'm gonna stand by my woman now'Cause I can't live my life alone

Without a home
Stand by my woman nowI'm gonna stand by my woman now'Cause I can't live my life alone

It Ain't Over 'Til It's OverWritten by: Lenny KravitzHere we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I'd always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over(Repeat)
More Than Anything In This WorldWritten by: Lenny KravitzMore than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your manI'd walk through fire
Stand in the rainI'll go to hell and back
On a planeI'd scale the mountains
Swim the seas
I beg for mercy
Down on my knees
More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
More than anything in this world
I wanna be your man
I caused you sorrowI've caused you pain
But love is all we will have to gain
I searched to whole world, oh IAnd I want you to be my baby
More than anything in this world
I just want you to be my woman
I wanna be your man
What Goes Around Comes AroundWritten by: Lenny KravitzMy pockets were full and now my money's gone
My friends come around and now they're gone
Things come and they come and then they go
And where they go nobody knowsIt's gonna come around
What goes around comes aroundIt's gonna come around

Yet people push bullshit in my face

What goes around comes aroundIt's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
This world keeps on spinning does the future know?We're destined to screw ourselves one blowWe've ruined what's pure down from nature belowYou'd better look back it'll all be goneIt's gonna come around
What goes around comes aroundIt's gonna come around
What goes around comes around
So children please listen this world is yours
This message is too deep to ignore
Your forefathers said but they did not do
The things that would show that they cared for youIt's gonna come around
What goes around comes aroundIt's gonna come around
What goes around comes around

The Difference Is WhyWritten by: Lenny KravitzI'm just a human
I never said I was god
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we start?
Sometimes the scales get unbalancedDon't you know the reason why?
The difference is why
The difference is why
You say you can't trust me
Have you tried?
You say you don't love meThat's a lie
There are so many so many rainbows
That we were to climb
But baby baby why can't we survive?We've got to get our heads untangled
And free our state of mind
The difference is why
The difference is why
Sometimes the scales get unbalancedDon't you know the reason why?
The difference is why
The difference is why
Does this have to mean goodbye?

Fields Of Joy (Reprise)Words & Music by Michael Kamen/Hal FredericksArranged by Lenny KravitzAll I Ever WantedWritten by: Lenny Kravitz / Sean Ono LennonBaby can't keep on running
All I want you to do is to feel with me yeah
We both are hurting
And it's gonna take a little time
To heal all the wounds and save our family
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love
Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love
Darling darling darlingDon't you want to feel good inside?
It seems I've forgotten how it feels to be
Look up to the stars
And ask the heavens
To show you the truth
So that you can be free
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love
Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love
Tell me what's the answer?It's gotten so cloudy I just can't see
But you got your life and I got mine
Are we even?
When I know I want you
And baby you want me
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was love
Remember kissing in the moonlight?
How we held each other all night
All I ever wanted was love
When The Morning Turns To NightWritten by: Lenny KravitzLittle girl with heroin so blueYou've got to find the future in you
Your scepters and needles will put you away
Forever and a day
Your future will haunt you before you get there
Imagine the planet with no air
All mute no light no sun only light
As far away as neverland
As the sky comes tumbling down to the head
And the valleys are all filed up with dirt
As many people as there are sands in the sea
Will die the morning after
So little girl with your heroin so blue
I guess our future is all up to you
Through the battle sequence you must fight'Til the morning turns to night
So imagine our world with no air
Just follow the son, he'll take you where
The night and the seas are all full of light'Til the morning turns to night'Til the morning turns to night
What The Fuck Are We SayingWritten by: Lenny KravitzWill we ever understand?
Or is the fate of man at hand?
Will we live or shall we die?
How will we ever know if we never try?
The government's the devil's handsIt's a lie and it's a scam
They wind us up, put us down, and watch us go
And if you close your eyesThere's a big surprise
What the fuck are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the lightI've been lost in the name of love
And we kill our brothers daily in the name of godWe'd better chill before we take on some tribulation
And if we realized
Then we'd make a little love now sing
What the fuck are we saying?
Do we believe what we read about?We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the light
What the fuck are we saying?
Do we feel what we dream about?We've got to keep on praying
And one day we'll see the lightButterfly
Written by: Lenny KravitzYou are the most beautiful thingI've ever seen
You shine just like sunlight rays
On a winter snow
I just had to tell you so
Your eyes sparkle as the stars
Like the moon they glow
Your smile could light the world on fire
Or did you know?
Your mind's full of everything that
I want to know
I just had to let you know
I just had to tell you soYou're my butterfly
Fly high
Fly fly fly
