Volume 1 of the Essential Series introduced two previously unheard songs, Butterfly and Kulderachna. Most of the other tracks are edited, some quite extensively. Larry described it thus: "Instigator collects the very best songs written in the 50s and the 60s. This new CD contains some music which has never been heard before. Perhaps the most famous track which has never been released is "Butterfly". But "Kulderachna" and others are also included, making this a truly "best of" collection of recordings"
lonely boy
[Go to Song Page]
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
born to be unlucky
[Go to Song Page]
I was born about eighteen years ago in a little wooden shack
I was born about eighteen years ago on the wrong side of the tracks
I never knew my father and I never had a home
Well I don't know where I came from and I don't know where I'm going
I was born to be unlucky from my shoulders to my shoes
And I guess I'm stuck with my unlucky blues
When I was just a young boy I was raised on beans and trout
And on my seventh birthday, well my mama she kicked me out
They say I'm good for nothing, no one treats me kind
I don't care 'cause pretty soon I'm gonna leave this world behind
I was born to be unlucky from my shoulders to my shoes
And I guess I'm stuck with my unlucky blues
I jumped into the river to try to put myself away
A man jumped in and saved me, he spoiled a perfect day
He dragged me to the river's edge, he said he knew I had a need
Then he pulled out a soggy bible and that man began to read
Well he told me things I did not know, I'm glad I did not die
'Cause he told me God's my father and my real home is in the sky
And I said [Instrumental]
He said I'd done a very foolish thing to try to drown myself and die
And I told him I was glad he happened to be passing by
He said God would forgive me, so I repented of my sin
Then he said I must be baptised and he threw me in again
Aww I was born to be unlucky from my shoulders to my shoes
I thought I must be stuck with these unlucky blues
Aww yeaow
My life has changed in many ways, I'm such a different man
Well I know now who my father is and I know just where I stand
With one foot up in heaven and one foot on the ground
I travel through this world of ours, I try to spread God's word around
I was born to be unlucky, I knowed it, from my shoulders to my shoes
But I came unstuck from my unlucky blues
Yeaow maybe you can too
Alright woo

moses in the wilderness
[Go to Song Page]
Moses tending sheep in the fields one day
When he thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say
Gotta free your people
From the Pharaoh's hand
Gotta take 'em all to the promised land
Moses knew that God was talking to him
So he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim
And Moses bugged the Pharaoh, he bugged him
And he bugged him
'Till he got his people freed
He used real bugs
Yes indeed, ow ow
He got his people freed
Ow ow ow ow [x2]
Moses on the banks of the wide Red Sea
He stuck out a stick and one two three
The water rolled back
And the people walked down
Everybody knew they wouldn't drown
Pharaoh told his army to bring 'em all back
An' here come the chariots, clickety clack
Why Moses took his stick
And he closed up the water
An' the 'Gyptians all took a bath
Ow ow ow ow
What a laugh
Ow they all took a bath
Ow ow ow [cough] ow
Ow ow ow ow
Dirty 'Gyptians
Grab my foot, take my hand
Lead me on to the promised land
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Me and all my people is here
So keep on sending manna
From the atmosphere
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
After forty long years in the wilderness
They finally saw their potential metropolis
They all gave thanks
And they all praised the Lord
Even though it took time he kept his word
He grab their foot and he tooken their hand
And he brung 'em all over
To the promised land
But it seems to me like an awful long time to be
Looking for a home
Ow ow ow ow
A mighty long roam, home
Looking for a home, a home a home
Never borrow money needlessly [cough]

hard luck bad news
[Go to Song Page]
Hard luck and bad news
Has followed me from town to town
All my life my luck's been down
I'm getting so weary
I don't have one friend
Folks turn their backs when I'm around
And where I walk the grass turns brown
No one will come near me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die
My life's been lonely
I've never heard a kindly word
Ugly names is all I've heard
And mean is how they treat me
Nobody trusts me
They blame me for the fires in town
Claim that hell is where I'm bound
And pray that God will speed me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die
Woo
Life's not worth living
My sorrow's more than I can say
Tomorrow's just another day
I hate to see the sun rise
Yet maybe someday
I'll find a man to call a friend
I'll be his friend until the end
In loneliness my heart cry
Hard luck and bad news

If you were in my shoes you'd die [x2]

walking backwards down the stairs
[Go to Song Page]
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
Wonder what I'm doing
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free but actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
Watching life elude me
Slipping through my grasp
Oh I know the truth at last
But to reach the top I've got to stop from
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
People stop to watch me
Wonder what I'm doing
What direction I'm pursuing
I pretend I'm free but actually I'm
Walking backwards down the stairs
Trying to get higher, higher
How can I get anywhere
Walking backwards down the stairs
pardon me
[Go to Song Page]
Pardon me
Kissing you like I'm afraid
But I know I'm being played with
And you'll leave me when you get the chance
Off you'll go
In the darkness of the night
Like a bird in freedom's flight
You're thinking only of deliverance
Close your eyes
And pretend that you are me
See how empty it can be
Making love if love's not really there
Watch me go
Watch me walk away alone
As your clothing comes undone
And you pull the ribbons from your hair
Pardon me
Pardon me
Kissing you like I'm afraid
But I know I'm being played with
And you'll leave me when you get the chance
Off you'll go
In the darkness of the night
Like a bird in freedom's flight
You're thinking only of deliverance
Close your eyes
And pretend that you are me
See how empty it can be
Making love if love's not really there
Watch me go
Watch me walk away alone
As your clothing comes undone
And you pull the ribbons from your hair
Pardon me
soul survivor
[Go to Song Page]
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy
My life was good when she was hanging round
My love was flying so high and free
But when she left my dreams came tumbling down
Now I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy
I'm trying so hard to forget my pain
And leave my past behind
But when your life is suddenly filled with rain
You keep remembering how the sun used to shine
And I can't stand the loneliness, the constant emptiness
Why has unhappiness ah-come into my life
I spend my mornings waking and thinking
And cry my evenings late into the night
I never knew that things could go so wrong
Until this happened to me, and I'm telling you
If you're in love you better hold on strong
Or be the soul survivor of this tragedy
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
The soul survivor of this tragedy
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
(Yes I am) Oh yes I need somebody's (I don't want nobody's sympathy) sympathy (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Don't leave me here alone don't let me be (Soul survivor soul, survivor)
The soul survivor of this tragedy
I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Ah yeah yeah yeah) (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be

baroquen spirits
[Go to Song Page]
Waiting around since last night sitting in your garden chair
When you decide to come home I suppose I'll still be there
(Ooh ooh ooh) Everything comes to the man who waits for everything to come
But what (Ah ah ah) can he do when the thing he wants the most he's farthest from
Yes I guess I see your point
Patience growing thin
How can you respect a man
Who needs you more than you need him
Baroquen spirits do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say
Baroquen spirits do you love me
Baroquen spirits I can't say
(Ah ah ah ah ah ah)
Give me your love or let go but don't play with my affairs
(Ah ah ah) Kiss me goodbye or hello but don't take lightly what we share
Yes I guess I see your point
Patience growing thin
How can you respect a man
Who needs you more than you need him
Baroquen spirits (oh baby do you love me) do you love me (do you love me)
Baroquen spirits I can't say

i don't believe in miracles
[Go to Song Page]
I don't believe in miracles
I know what's real, I don't pretend
I don't believe in miracles
Or stories with a happy end
Life is no one's friend
But when we met I felt so free
And suddenly I felt a change come over me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
I don't believe in miracles
I've been around, I've seen enough
The only way to get along you must be strong
You must be tough
Life is one big bluff
But then you opened up the door
An' I walked right in and all my fears fell on the floor
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Pa [x35]
But then you opened up the door
An' I walked right in and all my fears fell on the floor
Do you suppose
I don't believe in miracles
I know what's real, I don't pretend
I don't believe in miracles
Or stories with a happy end
Life is no one's friend
But then we met and suddenly
I felt so strange
I felt a change come over me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me
I don't believe in miracles
I know what's real, I don't pretend
I don't believe in miracles
Or stories with a happy end
Life is no one's friend
But when we met I felt so free
And suddenly I felt a change come over me
Do you suppose a miracle is happening to me

i am a servant
[Go to Song Page]
I am a servant, I am listening for my name
I sit here waiting, I've been looking at the game
That I've been playing, an' I've been staying much the same
When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame
I am a servant, I am waiting for your call (Aah aah)
I've been unfaithful, so I sit here in the hall
How can you use me when I've never given all
How can you choose me when you know I quickly fall
So you feed my soul and you make me grow
And you let me know you love me
And I'm worthless now, but I've made a vow
I will humbly bow before thee
Oh please use me, I am lonely
I am a servant, getting ready for my part
There's been a change, a rearrangement in my heart
At last I'm learning there's no returning once I start
To live's a privilege, to love is such an art
But I need your help to start
Oh please purify my heart
I am your servant
I am a servant, I am listening for my name
I sit here waiting, I've been looking at the game
That I've been playing, an' I've been staying much the same
When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame
I am a servant, I am waiting for your call (Aah aah)
I've been unfaithful, so I sit here in the hall
How can you use me when I've never given all
How can you choose me when you know I quickly fall
So you feed my soul and you make me grow
And you let me know you love me
And I'm worthless now, but I've made a vow

nothing really changes
[Go to Song Page]
One two [Spoken]
Nothing really changes
Everything remains the same
We are what we are till the day that we die [x2]
If we could live in Shakespeare's days
I wonder who we'd be
If people then could live today
I wonder who we'd see
They'd prob'ly stop a corner cop
And ask what the whole world's coming to
If people then could live today
I wonder what they'd do
Yes I wonder what they'd do
Would Romeo and Juliet watch Nelson Eddy kiss Jeanette
Would Bacchus read Police Gazette
And window peep at silhouettes
Would Caesar pay to see the Mets
Would Icarus join the jet set
Would Satan smoke menthol cigarettes
Would Samson razor with Gilette
Bi di dip'n bow
Nothing really changes
Everything remains the same
We are what we are till the day that we die
Unless we love the Lord
(Nothing really changes) Nothing really changes
Everything remains the same
We are what we are till the day that we die
Would Henry the eighth use etiquette
In a busy New York luncheonette
Would Cleopatra die when bit
Or save herself with a tourniquet
Would Beethoven join a jazz quartet
Would Ben Hur drive a blue Corvette
Would Aristotle be an acid head
Would Cain kill Abel with a bayonet, ah
Nothing really changes
Everything remains the same
We are what we are till the day that we die
Yeah
Nothing really changes
Everything remains the same
We are what we are till the day that we die
Unless we love the Lord
(Nothing really changes) Nothing really changes
Everything remains the same
We are what we are (till the day that we die) Till the day we die
Unless JC sets you free (Nothing really changes)

strong love, strange peace
[Go to Song Page]
Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtains up and house lights down
I sing love songs and pass myself around
But afterwards
Some people say they thought I put them down
They feel so bad
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They seem so trapped
They need release
They need your strong love and strange peace
Reporters question me, is this a new direction for the young
How lamb like their faces
How snake like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced we're all some new kind of freaks
I feel so good
It does not matter what they say
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
We're all so trapped
We need release
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtains up and house lights down
I sing love songs and pass myself around
But afterwards
Some people say they thought I put them down
They feel so bad
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They seem so trapped
They need release
They need your strong love and strange peace
Reporters question me, is this a new direction for the young
How lamb like their faces
How snake like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced we're all some new kind of freaks
I feel so good
It does not matter what they say
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
We're all so trapped
We need release
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
ha ha world
[Go to Song Page]
Ha ha world
Every day I used to write you a letter
But you never wrote back
And you never made me feel any better
Always sitting here
Fretting and getting confused
Halfway desperate
For a headline of hope in the news
When the telephone rang
I spilled it all over my sweater
Oh yeah
The call was for me
And I answered the phone in the kitchen (Ha ha world, ha ha world)
But the room was too hot
I forgot I was cooking my chicken (Ha ha world, ha ha world)
I was burning like hell
But the stove wasn't on
Then the voice on the line
Says the chicken is gone
The receiver goes dead and it
Hums while the plot starts to thicken
Oh oh yeah oh
Would I have hung up the phone had I known
The whole room would start swaying (Ha ha world, ha ha world)
I was instantly cold
And I knew why my life wasn't paying (Ha ha world, ha ha world)
I had money and fame
But my wealth wasn't wise
What good are the coins on a dead man's eyes
And the ringing of chimes in my head
Said it's time to start praying
Oh oh yeah oh
I’ve been sitting here praying
And laying up treasures in heaven (Ha ha world, ha ha world)
I was home and the front door was locked
When the clock struck eleven (Ha ha world, ha ha world)
I heard the bride outside yell millennium
Though the sun was still up
The twelfth hour has come
The bible says
Without a vision the people perish
Ha ha world
Every day I used to write you a letter
But you never wrote back
And you never made me feel any better
Always sitting here
Fretting and getting confused
Halfway desperate
For a headline of hope in the news
When the telephone rang
I spilled it all over my sweater
Oh yeah
The call was for me
And I answered the phone in the kitchen (Ha ha world, ha ha world)

forget your hexagram
[Go to Song Page]
Ah forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep the table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
OK now [Very faintly]
Oh
Heaven is in your mind
When love is in your heart
Maybe you'll find the way
But first you have to start
Forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep your table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no
Re-incarnate episodes
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good
The rules were set down long ago
When the spikes went in the wood
Ah forget your hexagram, you'll soon feel fine
Stop looking at the stars
You don't live under the signs
Don't mess with gypsies
Or have your fortune read
Keep the table on the floor
And don't you listen to the dead
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
The devil's closed the roads
You live once and you die once with no

You can't hitchhike to heaven
Or get there by just being good

feeling so bad
[Go to Song Page]
Well I'm feeling so bad in the middle of love
And it's easy to see that it isn't quite me that you're thinking of
Must be somebody else, but I'm wondering who
I can't seem to recall anybody at all who's in love with you
Every night you'll hear me say what a day
Well I saw you last week, you went out on the sly
You walked into some church, I suspected the worst, bet you met some guy
Then I waited outside, but you came out alone
With a satisfied look and a little black book, then you went straight home
Every night you'll hear me say what a day
Well I got something I wanna say to you
And this is what it is
So listen [Guitar solo]
Well this morning at ten, you invited me in
As you poured me some coffee you told me straight off that you'd found a friend
Well I wasn't surprised, no I wasn't surprised
Cause you look so content baby, I see a different look in your eyes
Every night you'll hear me say what a day [x2]
Aw ah
What a day
Well I'm feeling so bad in the middle of love
And it's easy to see that it isn't quite me that you're thinking of
Must be somebody else, but I'm wondering who
I can't seem to recall anybody at all who's in love with you

let that tape keep rolling
[Go to Song Page]
Hello [Spoken]
Well I woke up in the morning, I said a morning prayer
I washed my face with soap and ran my fingers through my hair
I went down to the studio on Hollywood and Vine
The clock said 'leven thirty, well I made it just in time
I greeted the musicians, I grabbed the nearest chair
I started playing my guitar and told the engineer
C'mon let that tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon let that tape keep rolling, c'mon c'mon c'mon
The first song that we cut was called "Lonely By Myself"
I'll do the vocal later you can leave it on the shelf
The second song we cut was called "Unlucky Blues"
The session's getting better now, we're turning on the juice
The last song took us seven takes, the first one took us ten
Let's give it all we got and do the chorus once again
C'mon let that tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon let that tape keep rolling (c'mon) let it roll (c'mon)
Do you hear me singing on your record machine
The piano's banging, the guitar's twanging
The water cooler's clanging, the light bulb's hanging
Yes the music's playing, the production's clean
Cross fade all the tracks, don't leave no spaces in between
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling, c'mon (c'mon) c'mon c'mon (c'mon) c'mon, c'mon
Hehehe
(C'mon) [x2]
(C'mon) (Ba ba ba da ba) [x3]
(C'mon)
Well I started out ten years ago, my guitar in my hand
I took the music in my heart and played it with a band
I went down to the Tower to record Upon This Rock
I sang it like I felt it, I just let the music talk
I know where I am going and I know who I must be
Don't care how long it takes because there's lots of things to see
C'mon let that tape keep rolling, c'mon let that love keep flowing
C'mon let your faith keep growing, c'mon get that good news going
C'mon let your light keep shining, c'mon be careful what you're signing
C'mon (c'mon) let that love keep flowing
C'mon (c'mon) c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon (C'mon, c'mon)
Aoww (C'mon, c'mon) heheheh (C'mon, c'mon)
Oh yeah alright alright (C'mon, c'mon c'mon c'mon)

i think i love you
[Go to Song Page]
I think I love you
I've only known you for a couple-a hours
I think I love you
When you're near it’s like a room full of flowers
Oh yeah
We met last monday in the LA heat
In the downtown section on a one way street
A man with a bible dropped a tract at my feet
You know the rest, your way is always the best
I think I love you
You're the best thing that's happened to me
Yes you are [Spoken]
I think I love you
I used to wonder where you could be
I used to seek after truth and follow where it led
So many facts and philosophies inside my head
I've heard so many people telling me you was dead
I bet they all own a bible that's never been read
Mm-hmm-hmm
Woo-ooh-hoo-ooh
Woo hoo ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh hoo
All my life I've been wondering what I should do
Suddenly I stopped wondering
‘Cause I really found the answer when I fell in love with you
Wooh
I think I love you
I think I love you
And I know that you love me
I think I love you
I think I love you
I think I love you
And I know you first loved me
You're not dead, you're not even sick
Mmmm whoahahahah whoo whoa bapanba.....

With a love like yours
A man could live in beauty and in grace
If I were a king I'd give everything
Just to see your face
With a love like yours
A man could be completely satisfied
He'd have no more fears
He'd shed no more tears
And have no more need to hide
You have saved me
You have saved me
You have saved me from myself [x2]
Ah, you have saved me

up in canada
[Go to Song Page]
When I was up in Canada
I didn't have much money
You know my toes were cold
And my clothes had holes
My nose was kind of runny
I met a long-hair on the street
He said look you look like you'd like to eat
I said a glass of coke and a hotdog's fine
He said well how 'bout some bread and a glass of wine
I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing
He took a loaf of Wonder bread
Then he bowed his head
Then he filled my cup drink it up my friend
It tasted better than the health food blend
He looked straight in to my eyes
I was quite surprised
He said you're locked inside but I can set you free
You will live forever if you follow me
I said lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh
I said my body's tired but my heart's inspired
My hunger's growing wo-oh
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going oh

My hunger's growing
Ah when I was up in Canada

And my nose was kinda runny
It wasn't funny
I met a long-hair on the street
He said look you look like you'd like to eat
I said a glass of coke and a hotdog's fine
He said well how 'bout some bread and a glass of wine

My hunger's growing wo-oh
Lead me on, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on where you're going wo-oh

lonely by myself
[Go to Song Page]
If I could find someone who really cared for me
Someone to share my love and keep me company
If I could find someone, I'd let them take control
And in exchange for love I'd give my very soul
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
If I could find someone who really loved me right
They'd make my life complete, they'd make my soul shine bright
I've looked around the world, I've walked down every street
Still I can't find no one to give me what I need
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me, fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
I get so lonely, so lonely
So lonely by myself
Who can I turn to, is there anybody there
Doesn't anybody care
Oo-ooh, doesn't anybody listen
Doesn't anybody care
If I could find someone who really cared for me
Someone to share my love and keep me company
If I could find someone, I'd let them take control
And in exchange for love I'd give my very soul
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
If I could find someone who really loved me right
They'd make my life complete, they'd make my soul shine bright
I've looked around the world, I've walked down every street
Still I can't find no one to give me what I need
It's such a lonely life, I almost cry each night
'Cause fate has put me, fate has put me on the shelf
I get so lonely, so lonely by myself
I get so lonely, so lonely
So lonely by myself
Who can I turn to, is there anybody there
Doesn't anybody care
Oo-ooh, doesn't anybody listen

You need love but you never show it
You need warmth
You need love
You need nature to give you a shove
You want to start living you gotta start flying
Spread your wings and fill the sky
You're a butterfly
And yes I know and you're a butterfly
You gotta let it show pretty butterfly
Won't you come out just for me yeah
Oh won't you come out just for me
Now look at you
You're a butterfly
And yes I know and I love you
But it's time to go pretty butterfly
Well it's time for me to set you free ye-eh
Well it's time for me to set you free
One more thing before you go
Something I never let anyone know
I am lonely, so confused
But I never will forget the day I ???
As I passed along your way
I saw you underneath a leaf
And that's when I decided to be a thief
I said honey you're a pretty cocoon
I just know you're gonna come out soon
You're a butterfly
Yes I know and I love you
But it's time to go pretty butterfly
Well it's time for me to set you free yeah
It's time for me to set you
Bye bye baby

I found an old man on the beach
Looking for his shoes
I said look for the footprints
There's a path, but you must choose
Kulderachna om a la na [x4]
Nan na la la la ly ly
La la la la la ly ly
La la la la la ly ly ly ly
La la la la la la la la

Kulderachna
You will gain what you are lacking
You will find what you have lost
If you're looking for the footprints
They will lead you to the cross
Kulderachna om a la na [x2]
La la la la la ly la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Kulderachna, oh
Kulderachna, oh
