I'm guessing there is no Lyrics tab in VGMdb (I feel like there should be), but here are the typed out lyrics. Some of them differ slightly from the original Mother album, but I also think there are a few typos.
Quote:
1. Pollyanna (I Believe in You)
I believe the morning sun
Always gonna shine again and
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end oh
I believe in roses kissed with dew
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
I believe in make believe
Fairy tales and lucky charms and
I believe in promises
Spoken as you cross your heart, oh
I believe in skies forever blue
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
Say I'm just like Pollyanna
Say I'm crazy as a loon
I believe in silver linings
And that's why I believe in you
I believe there'll come a day
Maybe it will be tomorrow
When the bluebird flies away
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
I believe in friends and laughter
And the wonders love can do
I believe in songs and magic
And that's why I believe in you
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' this way about you
There's not much I can do
I'm gonna be this way my life through
'Cause I still believe in miracles
I swear I've seen a few
And the time will surely come
When you can see my point of view
I believe in second chances
And that's why I believe in you
2. Bein' Friends
When you are happy
With laughter to spare
Fun is twice as fun
With someone to share.
When you are lonely
And full of despair
Things aren't half as bad
When somebody cares.
Maybe now you have figured it out
That's what bein' a friend is about
When you're lookin'
For someone you can rely on
Won't you think about me
When you're lookin'
For someone you can rely on
Don't you ever doubt me
I'll be there someway, somehow
That's what bein' friend is about
When you are restless
And want room to breathe
I will give you all
The space that you need
And when you're ready
For my company
I will come around
Just call on me
Maybe now you have figured it out
That's what bein' friend is about
When you need someone
Who feels the way you do
Won't you think about me
Someone who can pick up you
When you are blue
Don't you ever doubt me
I'll be there someway somehow,
That's what bein' friend is about
I'm your friend till the end
Count on me
In the sunshine and the rain
Paradise and back again
Count on me
Let me be a friend in need
Let me be a friend indeed
Count on me
And if you ask me
You know that it's true
There is not a thing
That I wouldn't do
I'd follow you
To the ends of the earth
That's how much I think
Our friendship is worth
Maybe now you have figured it out
That's what bein' friend is about
When there's something
That you just don't understand
Won't you think about me
I'll be more than glad
To lend a helping hand
Don't you ever doubt me
I'll be there someway, somehow
That's what bein' friend is about
Tell me all your secret
I will swear to keep them
Let me know your problems
I will help you solve them
When your heart is aching
I will stop it breaking
When you are in danger
I'm your guardian angel
I will stand beside you
Be the one to guide you
When your dreams are crumblin'
Call me I'll come runnin'
That's what friends are all about
3. The Paradise Line
The Paradise Special's
Pullin' into the station
Harry up, gotta get on board
Adventure is the ticket
To our destination
Come on, now don't be slow
Here we go, on down the track
Paradise Special movin' down the track
Half the fun of travel's
Just the journey there
Lighten up and enjoy the show
We're gonna make it now
With hours to spare
Hey don't you hear that whistle blow
Moanin' low, the wheels talk back
Raisin' a racket like a yakity yak
Now we're goin' in style
Let's start wearin' a smile
Life keeps getting' better all the time
So much better
Takin' the Paradise Line
Now the locomotive's steamin'
Like a runaway
So come on, let's rock and roll
And by this time tomorrow
We'll be so far away
If there's one thing that I know
Then I know we won't be back
Paradise Special never comin' back
Just relax for a while
Watch the world goin' by
Just as long as we're together we'll be fine
We'll be fine
Takin' the Paradise Line
Life is fine on the Paradise Line
You and I on the Paradise Line
Wave your trouble goodbye
Leave your sadness behind
We can ride away forever you and I
Yeah forever
Takin' the Paradise Line
Takin' the Paradise Line
Takin' the Paradise Line
5. Wisdom of the World
Through ice and through fire
A wilderness of stone
With dreams and desires
I have come alone
Seeking the answers
Only you could know
Show me the wisdom of the world
Tell me the secret of the heart
And the sweet mysteries of love
Come fill my eyes with visions
So that I may see
Reveal the ancient powers
Whisper them to me
Here I stand before you
Ready to receive
Show me the wisdom of the world
Tell me the secrets of the heart
And the sweet mysteries of love
Does a place called paradise
Wait beyond the azure skies
Bright as day?
Look into your crystal ball
Read the future in the stars
Does it say?
Will I give my heart in vain
To a lover or a friend
Come what may?
Who to trust and where to turn
There's so much I've yet to learn
Show the way
I am down on my knees
Begging now, begging please
Show me the wisdom of the world
Tell me the secrets of the heart
And the sweet mysteries of love
6. Flying Man
Life is but a moment
A single grain of sand
That slips right through the hourglass
And slips right through your hand
You've shown me how
To make each moment count
And I know now
What life is all about
Life is but a twinkle
The winking of an eye
A star that lights the universe
A flash across the sky
You came to me
Just like a shooting star
You gave to me
The love that's in your heart
When you live for love
How precious life can be
When you give your love
I truly do believe
If only for a moment
It's a miracle to see
So shine for all the world tonight
And live for love
Give your love to me
Na na na na na na na
Life is but a twinkle
The winking of an eye
A star that lights the universe
A flash across the sky
You came to me
Just like a shooting star
You gave to me
The love that's in your heart
When you live for love
How precious life can be
When you live for love
I truly do believe
If only for a moment
It's a miracle to see
So shine for all the world tonight
And live for love
Give your love to me
Na na na na na na na
When you live for love
How precious life can be
When you give your love
I truly do believe
If only for a moment
It's a miracle to see
So shine for all the world tonight
And live for love
Give your love to me
So shine for all the world tonight
And live for love
Give your love to me
Shine on me Shine on me Shine on me
8. All That I Needed (Was You)
I used to think I was so smart
But I couldn't hide the hole in my heart
Sad as it seems, none of my dreams
Ever came true
I used to walk the avenue
All by myself with nothin' to do
Kickin' at cans, half of a man
Till I met you, and I knew
I've looked for you all of my life
Round every corner
Wishin' on stars
Like some kind of fool, ooh ooh
But now I see the stars in your eyes
Those days are over
I took one look and I was hooked
I found heaven in you
And though my dream was overdue
My prayer was answered out of the blue
And now I know, I know it's true
All that I needed was you
(Chorus)
You were all that I wanted
You were all that I needed
I was lost, anyone could tell
Just tossing dimes in wishing wells
Out of money and down on luck
Was I surprised when lightnin' struck
And suddenly, you were sent to me
My destiny, it was meant to be
I didn't know before
What I was living for
But now I know for sure
I have been waiting for you
I never knew what I had missed
Until the moment that we kissed
Angel divine, now you are mine
I feel brand new
And now at last, my life's complete
Baby, your love's the missing piece
Here in my arms, here in my heart
All that I needed was you
I've looked for you all of my life
Round every corner
Wishin' on stars
Like some kind of fool, ooh ooh
But now I see the stars in your eyes
Those days are over
I took one look and I was hooked
I found heaven in you
And though my dream was overdue
My prayer was answered out of the blue
And now I know, I know it's true
All that I needed was you
10. Eight Melodies
Take a melody
Simple as can be
Give it some words
And sweet harmony
Raise your voices
All day long now
Love grows strong now
Sing a melody of love, oh love
Love is the power
Love is the glory
Love is the beauty
And the joy of spring
Love is the magic
Love is the story
Love is the melody
We all can sing
Love is in the bin
Love is in the den
Love makes a din
Love is Love is Love is Love is
