Charge "Glory Boy" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Charge"


Across the dark 
In a boat made of dreams
Took a thousand nights 
And the help of full moon beams
Tunes of glory playing 
By the pipers dressed in blue
But I can't hear the music 
Or the words without you

Across the light 
To a land in my mind
You must surely be 
The only love I'll ever find
Tunes of glory playing 
From the pipers dressed in red
When a hundred pictures of you 
Keep spinning through my head

Closing my eyes 
In worlds of sleep
Then I find 
I'm holding you
Upon waking
We laugh, sing and weep
When the day breaks
I'll feel I'm losing you

Across the night 
To a place whеre you'd be
Took a hundred lights 
But now you'rе seeing me
Tunes of glory playing 
From the pipers dressed in blue
And I hear the words and music 
For you love me too

Closing my eyes 
In worlds of sleep
Then I find 
I'm holding you
Upon waking
We laugh, sing and weep
When the day breaks
I'll feel I'm losing you

[Losing you] 5x

Charge "To My Friends" (lyrics found)
* From album: "Charge"


Will we find what we're all seeking?
Will we ever reach our goal?
Will the spirits hold a meeting
Soon to summon up my soul?

Give me time, please give me time
To tell my friends I love them all
I want to leave you in peace and joy
Before I answer to the call

Can I hear the sound of laughter?
Can I make it all come true?
Always pain but there's an after
And soothing thoughts to think of you

Give me time, please give me time
Let our loving friendship grow
I want to leave you all with peace of mind
I want you all to feel and know

I've made some bad mistakes 
And I've been a fool
I've hurt too many people
Well, I've had to, please understand
I make no excuses 
For the times I've played it cool
But I hope this song will make it 
Up to you

Bet you thought that I'd forget you
And those times that you helped me
But, my friends, I won't forget you
Though at times, it's hard to see

Let my guitar speak for me
That's how much I love you all
I really love you
Excuse my anger 
When you're missing me
Oh my friends, [I love you all] 2x
Yes, I love you all

Give me time, please give me time
To show my friends I love them all
Give me time, please give me time
Before I'm summoned to the call

Can I hear the sound of laughter?
Do my words reach deep in you?
If you feel that it's all over
There's no more I can say and do

Let my guitar speak for me
That's how much I [love you all] 2x
Excuse my anger 
When you're missing me
Oh my friends, I love you all

Will we find what we're all seeking?
Will we ever reach our goal?
Will the spirits hold a meeting
Soon to summon up my soul?

Charge "Got My Soul"
(lyrics found and bit modified)
* From album: "Charge"


Wanna be your lovin' man
Would if I could, you know that I can
I wanna do the things I must do 
Give you my love, share it with you 

Oh woman
I need you
'Cause you got my soul 
Wanna be your lovin' man
Would if I could show you I can? 

Wanna set your heart on fire
And turn it on, burn it on with the deep desire
Wanna take you on my magic trip 
I wanna take you sailing in my sailing ship 

Oh woman
I need you
'Cause you got my soul 
Wanna be your lovin' man
Would if I could show you I can? 

Take me home electric, inflamed
Wanna reach you, teach you all my loving game 
Wanna love you, be night and day 
Give you my heart every way 

Oh woman
I need you
'Cause you got my soul 
Wanna be your lovin' man
Would if I could show you I can? 
That sure I can
