Learning to Live - Live at Roseland Ballroom, New York City, NY, 8/30/2000

There was no time for pain
 No energy for anger
 Sightlessness of hatred slips away
 Walking through winter streets alone
 He stops and takes a breath
 With confidence and self-control
 I look at the world and see no understanding
 I'm waiting to find some sense of strength
 I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart
 To show me understanding
 I need to live life
 Like some people never will
 So find me kindness, find me beauty, find me truth
 When temptation brings me to my knees
 And I lay here drained of strength
 Show me kindness, show me beauty, show me truth
 The way your heart sounds
 Makes all the difference
 It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
 The way your heart beats
 Makes all the difference
 In learning to live
 Here before me is my soul
 I'm learning to live
 I won't give up till I've no more to give
 No more to give
 ♪
 Listening to the city
 Whispering its violence
 I set out watching from above
 The 90's bring new questions
 New solutions to be found
 I fell in love to be let down
 Once again we dance in the crowd
 At times a step away
 From a common fear that's all spread out
 It won't listen to what you say
 Once you're touched you stand alone
 To face the bitter fight
 Once I reached for love
 And now I reach for life
 ♪
 Another chance to lift my life
 Free the sensation in my heart
 To ride the wings of dreams
 Into changing horizons
 It brings inner peace within my mind
 As I'm lifted from where I've split my life
 I hear an innocent voice
 I hear kindness, beauty and truth
 The way your heart sounds
 Makes all the difference
 It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel
 The way your heart beats
 Makes all the difference
 In learning to live
 Spread before you is your soul
 So forever hold the dreams within our hearts
 Through nature's inflexible grace
