--from the band Coldplay, William Champion--and bassist Guy Berryman--and Jonny Buckland--frontman Chris Martin everyone...
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor; that's not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone; I should like to help everyone if possible--jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. This world has room for everyone, and the good Earth is rich, and can provide for everyone. To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed; the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. The Kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power; the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful--to make this life a wonderful adventure!
Oh, I think I landed
In a world I hadn't seen
When I'm feeling ordinary
When I don't know what I mean
Oh, I think I landed
Where there are miracles at work
For the thirst and for the hunger
Come the conference of birds
Saying it's true
It's not what it seems
Leave your broken windows open
And in the light just streams
And you get a head
A head full of dreams
You can see the change you want to
Be what you want to be
When you get a head
A head full of dreams
Into life I just been spoken
With a head full, a head full of dreams
Oh, I think I landed
Where there are miracles at work
When you got me open handed
When you got me lost for words
I sing, oh-ohohoh
Oh-ohohoh
Oh-ohohoh [repeats]
A head full of dreams
A head full of dreams
Into life I just been spoken
With a head full, a head full of dreams

Turn your magic on
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
And we are legends every day
That's what she told me
Turn your magic on
To me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds
Now I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
And I feel my heart beating
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Said I can't go on
Not in this way
I'm a dream that died by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me
And I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Oh, I can feel my heart beating
'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Turn your magic on
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure under this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape
If we've only got this life
This adventure, oh, then I
And if we've only got this life
You get me through
And if we've only got this life
In this adventure, oh, then I
Want to share it with you
With you
With you
Yeah I do
Woohoo
Woohoo
Woohoo

Been standing in the corner
Studying the lights
The dreaming of escape
Will keep you up at night
But someone had put the flare up
Got me in rays
So... I guess I better stay
"Uh uh, no come on!" you say
It's a fools gold thunder
It's just warning rain
Don't let the fears just start, what if
I won't see you again
Around here you never want to
Sleep all night
So start falling in love,
Start the riot
And come on rage with me
We don't need words
We'll be birds
Got to make our own key
Only got this moment
You and me
Guilty of nothing
But geography
Come on and raise it
Come on raise this noise
For the million people
Who got not one voice
Come on, it's not over!
If you mean it say loud
Come on, all for love
Out from the underground
Away with me
We don't need words
Close your eyes and see
We'll be birds
Flying free
Holding on in the mystery
Fearless through this you said
We'll go
Through this together (ooohh)
When you fly won't you
Won't you take me too?
In this world so cruel
I think you're so cool

iv. Fun
04:55

I know it's over before she says
I know it falls at the water face
I know it's over, an ocean awaits
For a storm
The sun on snow, rivers in rain
Crystal ball can foresee a change
And I know it's over, a parting of ways
And it's done
But didn't we have fun?
Don't say it was all a waste
Didn't we have fun?
From the top of the world
Top of the waves
We said forever, forever always
We could have been lost
We would have been saved
Now we're stopping the world, stopping its spin
Oh, come on don't give up
Don't say we give in
Don't say it's over
Don't say we're done
Oh, didn't we have fun?
Oh, didn't we have fun?
I know it's over before she says,
"Know someone else has taken your place."
"I know it's over," Icarus says
To the sun
The sword sinks in, lightning strikes
And two force, two forces collide
And fight 'til it's over,
Fight 'til it's done
But didn't we have fun?
Don't say it was all a waste
Didn't we have fun?
From the top of the world
Top of the waves
We said forever, forever always
We could have been lost
We would have been saved
Now we're stopping the world, stopping in its tracks
But nothing's too broken to find a way back
so, before it's over, before you run
Ah, didn't we have fun?
'Cause you and me
We were always meant to... always meant to be
We were always meant to... always meant to
Oh, didn't we have fun?
Oh, didn't we have fun?
But then...
Maybe we could again

05:37

Oh they say people come
They say people go
This particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you celestial
And I should but I can't let you go
But when I'm cold, cold
When I'm cold, cold
There's a light that you give me
When I'm in shadow
There's a feeling within me, an everglow
Like brothers in blood
Sisters who ride
Yeah, we swore on that night
We'd be friends 'til we died
But the changing of winds
And the way waters flow
Life as short as the falling of snow
And now I'm gonna miss you, I know
But when I'm cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
And I know you're always with me
And the way you will show
And you're with me wherever I go
That you give me this feeling, this everglow
What I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold
Because I live for this feeling, this everglow
So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you give me will everglow
God is watching me
God don't praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don't give nothing about Joe Frazier
God don't care nothing about England or America as far as real wealth… it's all His.
He wants to know how do we treat each other?
How do we help each other?
So, I'm going to dedicate my life to using my name and popularity to helping charities, helping people, uniting people
People bombing each other because of religious beliefs.
We need somebody in the world to help us all make peace.
So when I die – if there's a heaven – I'm gonna see it.

Been around the world, the wonders to view
Been around the world, looking for someone like you
Pyramids try, Babylon too
But the beautifullest treasures lie in the deepest blue
So I never say die, aim never untrue
I'm never so high as when I'm with you
And there isn't a fire, that I wouldn't walk through
My army of one is gonna fight for you
Been around the world, the universe too
Been around flying, baby, it's nothing I wouldn't do
Tanzaku stars, Lasso the moon
And be standing there beside you right
When the storm comes through
'Cause I never say die, aim never untrue
Never so high as when I'm with you
And there isn't a fire, that I wouldn't walk through
My army of one is gonna fight for you
My army of one is gonna fall for you, yeah!
'Cause you reign, all 'cause you reign
All 'cause you reign
My army of one is gonna call it through
Sayin my heart is my gun, army of one
Yeah my heart is my gun, army of one
It's my only weapon, army of one
Sayin my heart is my gun, army of one

ii. Hymn for the Weekend

Oh, angel sent from up above
You know you make my world light up
When I was down, when I was hurt
You came to lift me up
Life is a drink, and love's a drug
Oh, now I think I must be miles up
When I was a river, dried up
You came to rain a flood
You said drink from me, drink from me
When I was so thirsty
Poured on a symphony
Now I just can't get enough
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low
I, oh, I, oh, I
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I
Now I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Woo!
Oh, angel sent from up above
I feel it coursing through my blood
Life is a drink, your love's about
To make the stars come out
Put your wings on me, wings on me
When I was so heavy
Poured on a symphony
When I'm low, low, low, low
I, oh, I, oh, I
Got me feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
Oh I, oh, I, oh, I
Now I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
I, oh, I, oh, I
La la la la la la la
So high, so high
I, oh, I, oh, I
I'm feeling drunk and high
So high, so high
That I shoot across the sky
That I shoot across the...
That I shoot across the sky
Watch me shoot across the..
That I shoot across the sky
That I shoot across the...
That I shoot across the sky
That I shoot across the...

The Guest House
02:47
|

|
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival
A joy, a depression, a meanness
Some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor
Welcome and entertain them all!
Be grateful for whoever comes
Because each has been sent as a guide
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

i. Amazing Day
04:59
|

|
We sat on a roof, named every star
Shared every bruise and showed every scar
Hope has its proof put your hand in mine saying,
"Life has a beautiful, crazy design."
And time seemed to say,
"Forget the world and its weight."
And here I just want to stay
Amazing day
Amazing day
We sat on a roof, named every star
You showed me a place
Where you can be what you are
And the view, the whole Milky Way
In your eyes, I drifted away
And in your arms I just want to sway
Amazing day
Amazing day
Amazing day
Amazing day
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
And I asked
Can the Birds in poetry chime?
Can there be breaks in the chaos sometimes?
Oh, thanks God, must have heard when I prayed
'Cause now I always want to feel this way
Amazing day
Amazing day
Amazing day
Amazing day
Yeah, today

ii. Miracles
03:55

From up above I heard
The angels sing to me these words.
And sometimes in your eyes
I see the beauty in the world.
Oh, now I'm floating so high.
I blossom and die.
Send your storm and your lightning to strike
Me between the eyes,
Eyes
Sometimes the stars decide
To reflect in puddles in the dirt.
When I look in your eyes
I forget all about what hurts.
Oh, now I'm floating so high.
I blossom and die.
Send your storm and your lightning to strike
Me between the eyes
And cry.
Believe in miracles.
Oh hey, I'm floating up above the world now!
Oh hey, I'm floating up above the world now!
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!

Fixing up a car to drive in it again
Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
Up and up
Up and up
Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick on your orange field
Up and up
Up and up
See a pearl form a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It's in your blood
It's in your blood
Underneath the storm, an umbrella is saying,
"Sitting with the poison takes away the pain."
Up and up
Up and up, saying
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up
Up and up
How come people suffer? How come people part?
How come people struggle? How come people break your heart?
Break your heart, oh
Yes, I wanna grow, yes, I wanna feel
Yes, I wanna know, show me how to heal it up
Heal it up, oh
See the forest, there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love
Just need love
When the going is rough, saying
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
But you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind or take a risk
You can say, "It's mine," and clench your fist
Or see each sunrise as a gift
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
We're gonna get it, get it together, I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and glow
Up and up and up
Oh
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you're in pain, when you think you've had enough
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up
