Jem - Down To Earth - lyrics

So many lyrics but so little time! Thanks to those who have asked and at least I have made a start!

Down To Earth

Friends I have to tell you
They sent me on a mission
Down to earth
To watch and observe life
And gather information 'bout
Your birth

But what I mostly see is misery
And it makes me sad

So capable of love yet,
Too scared to open up and
Just wanna be accepted,
But can't show that you care.
Creating problems daily,
No wonder some go crazy
So special and so gifted,
But most don't know, it's there

Friends I have to ask you
Surrounded by the beauty
of this place
Why do you make it so hard
For all the things you want
To come your way

Well I don't think you see
Your destiny
And it makes me sad

So capable of love yet,
Too scared to open up and
Just wanna be accepted,
But can't show that you care.
Creating problems daily,
No wonder some go crazy
So special and so gifted,
But most don't know, it's there

Do it, just let it all out
Express emotion
Say how you're feeling
It's liberating
Nothing can hurt you
You can be happy
But you must believe it
[Believe it]

Well I don't think you see
Your destiny
And it makes me sad

So capable of love yet,
Too scared to open up and
Just wanna be accepted,
But can't show that you care.
Creating problems daily,
No wonder some go crazy
So special and so gifted,
But most don't know, it's there
So capable of love yet,
Too scared to open up and
Just wanna be accepted,
But can't show that you care.
Creating problems daily,
No wonder some go crazy
So special and so gifted,
But most don't know, it's there

Won't you let me take you
Down to earth?


Crazy
Take your aftershave
take your rings.
Take your clothes just take
all of your things.
Move your flash car it's
Wasting my space.
Now take yourself and
get outta my place.

You think I'm crazy,
Well hell I may be
Boy you are not welcome here
But if I'm crazy you made
me crazy so
Boy you're not welcome here

Don't like problems
I don't like stress
Don't like to argue like
tears even less
Ya' think it is clever to play
all these games.
Well say goodbye 'cause the
rules have just changed.

You think I'm crazy,
Well hell I may be
Boy you are not welcome here
But if I'm crazy you made
me crazy so
Boy you're not welcome here

[Bo dom bom bom banna bom] x 4

I've got brains an' a
hot body too
I'm not stupid I leave
that to you
Don't think you counted
on me being strong
Well I'm calling time now
you just run along

Not too perceptive,
not too perceptive
Boy I'm not that kind of girl
Go find another, sleep
with another
Boy I'm not that kind of girl

And if I'm crazy
you made me crazy so
Boy you're not welcome here.


I Want You To...

Maria, salimos esta noche?
- Ay, no se.
Maria, igual encuentras un chico guapo.
- No se, estoy cansada.
Sabes que? Que vas a salir y
será una gran noche.

Spinning round
And I touch the ground
An' I let go of my mind
Let the music take
Over my body
An' I start to unwind
Feel the heat as I rock the beat
An' I see your sexy smile
Intense attraction,
Bodies like magnets
My thoughts start to run wild.

De arriba nace el amor

I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to...

Moving forward and
Arching back
With that hot look in your eye
Up so close I can feel
You touching me
No time to be shy
Head to head no I
Won't be lead.
Well I, I'll put up a fight
Feel the bass, now my
Pulse is racing
And I'm flying tonight.

De arriba nace el amor

I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to...

I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
(De arriba nace el amor)
I want you to show me
I want you to love me
I want you to touch me
I want you to know me
(De arriba nace el amor)
I want you to...


It's Amazing

Do it, now, you
know who you are
You feel it in your heart and
you're burning with ambition.
But first, wait, won't get it
On a plate.You're gonna have to work for
it harder and harder.

And I know, 'cause I've
been there before
Knocking on the doors
with rejection
(rejection)
And you'll see, 'cause if
it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to
deserving your dreams.

It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes
my heart sing
Now it's up to you.

Patience now, frustration's
in the air
And people who don't care
well it's gonna get you down
And you'll fall, yes,, you
will hit a wall
But get back on your feet an'
you'll be smarter and stronger.

And I know, 'cause I've
been there before
Knocking down the doors
won't take no for an answer
And you'll see, 'cause if
it's meant to be
Nothing can compare to
deserving your dreams.

It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes
my heart sing
Now it's up to you.

Don't be embarrassed
Don't be afraid
Don't let your dreams slip away
It's determination and
using your gift
Never give up
Never believe the hype
Trust your instincts and
most importantly
You've got nothing to lose
So just go for it.

It's amazing, it's amazing
All that you can do
It's amazing, makes
my heart sing
Now it's up to you.


Keep On Waiting

The world's got so dark I need
some guidance to see
'cause this pain in my heart is
taking everything from me.

It is true that love makes the
world go round
Please give some love to me
'cause I'm feeling so alone
right now, it's suffocating me.

God give me strength
to keep on walking
God give me strength
to keep on, keep on
God give me strength
to keep on walking
God give me strength
to keep on, keep on

The air's got so thick I find
it hard to breathe
And before have
I felt so desperately in need

I know that I must start listening
to the voice inside of me.
The truth is that when I speak to
you, I hope to speak to me.

God give me strength,
to keep on walking
God give me strength,
to keep on, keep on
God give me strength,
to keep on walking
God give me strength,
to keep on, keep on

Oooh, oooh, my darling
God is you
God is you

God give me strength,
to keep on walking
God give me strength,
to keep on, keep on

God give me strength,
to keep on walking
God give me strength,
to keep on, keep on

God give me strength,
to keep on walking
[God, keep on, keep on giving
me strength]
God give me strength
to keep on, keep on.

God, keep on, keep on giving
me strength. Repeat.


You Will Make It

Go to bed everything's alright
Don't know the whole
world's changing
As you sleep through the night
Wake up slowly and it's a
different world.

Hear the news and the
floods begin
Screams so loud but only
felt within
Heart is shattered
The pieces can't be found

I feel your pain, I wrote this
song for you, for you
You will make it, you will
make it through
I promise you, he would
want you to.

Months go by, still living
in a daze
Don't know what you've done
With the last seven days
Soul is numb and and life
is like a dream

Helping hand but you
push them away
How could they understand
Don't wanna share you pain
Afraid to heal, 'cause that
would mean goodbye

I feel your pain, I wrote this
song for you, for you
You will make it,. you will
make it through
I promise you, she would
want you to.

One day sunlight hits
a photograph
And it makes you smile
The memories dance
around you now
And they make you smile.
You're not alone
You'll never be
Just like the stars
They oversee
And they whisper to you
You're still, you're still
you're still, you're still alive.

I feel your pain, I wrote this
song for you, for you
You will make it,. you will
make it through
I promise you, they would
want you to.

Do not stand at my
grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds
that blow
I am the diamond glints
on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the
morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that
shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave
and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.


I Always Knew

I always knew I would
one day be here
But I couldn't be a
puppet on a string
I've had my fights often
I've been KO'd
But I've got back up
No. I won't give in.

And now I know how it works
If you're too nice, you lose

I'm gonna make it to the
top well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen
up then that is what I'll do
But don't make me a monster
baby you'd be crazy
that's for sure
Becoming a bit is not
what I got into music for

Remember back to a bench
in Wales
Where two young boys
started mocking me
I looked at them, thought
I'll show you one day
But I didn't fight or stand
up for me

And that young girl's learnt
the hard way
If you're too nice you loose

I'm gonna make it to the top
well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen
up then that is what I'll do
But don't make me a monster
baby you'd be crazy
that's for sure
Becoming a bit is not
what I got into music for

I'll make it crystal clear
I'm not going anywhere
As long as there is music
I'll be here. here

I'm gonna make it to the top
well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen
up then that is what I'll do
But don't make me a monster
baby you'd be crazy
that's for sure
Becoming a bit is not
what I got into music for

I'm gonna make it to the top
well let me show you
And if I've got to toughen
up then that is what I'll do
I've sold you a million baby
not just maybe that's for sure
Given the chance I'll show you
I can sell a zillion more


Got It Good

If I had one wish, if I
had one wish
It would be to be free
of this fighting all around
@Cause it is so wrong
and it could be so right.
In my heart I know we're
here to grow
To love, to give, to learn.
to live together

And I believe in miracles
open up you eyes

Got a soul, got a mind got
a heart that beats in time.
You've got a smile, got a voice
got the gift of love
You've got it good, don't
forget how lucky you are
Darling, darling
Use it to connect with everyone

Don't you know we're golden,
covered up with mud
One day you'll see the truth
that we all share the
same blood
Supposed to love thy neighbour,
together we should stand
Whatever colour, race or creed
come on and hold my hand

'Cause I don't differentiate
we're all the same to me
Got a soul, got a mind, got
a heart that beats in time.
You've got a smile, got a voice
got the gift of love
You've got it good, don't
forget how lucky you are
Darling, darling
Use it to connect with everyone

And it's getting so serious
Crush my heart in pieces
But I know I'm not alone in
wanting peace. No, ooh
And if you feel what I feel,
raise your hands with me

Got a soul, got a mind got
a heart that beats in time.
You've got a smile, got a voice
got the gift of love
You've got it good, don't
forget how lucky you are
Darling (darling) darling
(darling)
Use it to connect with everyone
Got a soul, got a mind got a
heart that beats in time
You've got a smile, got a voice
got the gift of love
You've got it good, don't
forget how lucky you are
Darling (darling) darling
(darling)
Thank you for the moments
that we have

How Would You Like It

Put on your clothes
I know what's underneath
You think you're separate from#everyone, but it's just
from yourself
Without all the colours in the
world, there'd be no picture
We are interwoven more than
you'll ever know

So I say

Please stop talking to me
I don't agree
How would you like it
Just 'cause the colour of my
skin's the same no you
don't know me
How would you like it if
Please stop, stop right there
with your hipocisy
Don't wanna hear it
You don't realize if you take
away any one of us
We all fall down now

I wanted to write this a
long time ago
But I thought someone would
say who are you to
speak of this
Well I've got eyes and ears
and a heart and I can feel it
And it pains me more than you
will ever know

And I Say

Please stop talking to me
I don't agree
How would you like it
Just 'cause the colour of my
skin's the same well you
don't know me
How would you like it if
Please stop, stop right there
with your hipocrisy
Don't wanna hear it
You don't realize if you take
away any one of us
We all fall down now

So sad, so sad
It's said we wouldn't know
love without hate
I'd really rather just have
the love
I'm tired of our history
repeating enough is enough
Please stop talking

Please stop talking to me
I don't agree
How would you like it
Just 'cause the colour of my
skin's the same well you
don't know me
How would you like it if
Please stop, stop right there
with your hipocrisy
Don't wanna hear it
You don't realize if you take
away any one of us
We all fall down now

In the end life'll go on and on
But I for one are clear
we're all brothers and sisters

And So I Pray

Storm is brewing in the
air tonight
So many pressures on my mind
Want to escape just
wanna run away
But it's not an option
I have to stay

And so I pray
I wish that all these things
would go away
To disappear if only for a day
Know I can't go but I don't
wanna stay

Can't believe the irony
The thing I wanted is killing me
All the happy smiles I miss
Didn't think it would be like this

And so I pray
I wish that all these things
would go away
To disappear if only for a day
Know I can't go but I don't
wanna stay

Storm is brewing in the
air tonight
So many pressures on my mind
Want to escape just
wanna run away
But it's not an option
I have to stay

And so I pray
I wish that all these things
would go away
To disappear if only for a day
Know I can't go but
I don't wanna stay
To be left alone if only
for a day
I wish that all these things
would go away
(pray to you I hope it will
be alright)
To be someone else
if only for a day
(and over soon, I feel it)
Know I can't go but I don't
wanna stay
(hope that you hear me)


On Top Of The World

Too much information
Need to calm down, let go
Breathe in peace
Worry and anxious feelings
Need to close your eyes, let go
Breathe and release

All of a sudden the people,
the talking, the telephone,
all fades away
You visit a place in a timeless
dimension where all of your
fears are at bay

You can fly away
fly like a bird
Across the sky
Above the clouds so high
Moon and the stars
Light up the sky

Presence fights illusion
It's not all as serious as
your mind
Wants you to think it is
Unsure of your future
Need to focus on,
what you want
And something will come
your way

You can fly away
fly like a bird
Across the sky
Above the clouds so high
Moon and the stars
Light up the sky

Sun sets low across the bay
A beautiful light
Closes the day
You can visit anytime
It's always there
Just close your eyes
(repeat)

(You know, you know,you
know, you know, you know
If you wanna be, home free,
just breathe
You know, you know, you know,
you know, you know
if you wanna be be, home free,
just breathe
You know all you need, all you
need, all you need. all you
need, is to feel connected
You know all you need, all you
need, all you need. all you
need, is to feel connected
Slow down, slow down,
what you rushing for?)

I finally finished but I will have made mistakes! Please let me know but , in the meantime, just enjoy the album simply for what it is!


These for track 9 (Aciiid) I will never be able to complete... but wonderful nevertheless.



It is early days but, if any one track brings her first album, Finally Woken, to mind then it is 'Keep On Walking' (track 5).
