I need help with a song....

[xpunkisneatx]

Do any of you remember a song that was popular during Desert Storm?? It was done by various artists...I have been trying to find the damn thing and i haven't had much luck...Seeing as I was only 7 when the song came out, i can't really remember how it goes, only that it was about the war. Any help would be appreciated :)

[The Great Escape]

8. There Was One Going Through My Mind That Went Something Like...

you can reach my by airplane cross the desert in a pouring rain...I don't care where your going...get here when you can... something sort of like that. I remember that being popular during Gulf War 1 but I don't know if that is exactly how the lyrics go or not.

[The Great Escape]

9. Here We Go...Good Old Google....

You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer

(interlude, then repeat bridge)

You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can

I don't care how you get here, just -- get here if - you can.

[xpunkisneatx]

[auntAgonist]

13. Here Is Another One I Remember From That Era (War Related)...

Oh she knows
she takes his hand
and prays the child will understand
at the door they watch the men go by
in the clothes that daddy wore

mother's pride
baby boy
his fathers eyes
he's a soldier waiting for war
time will come
he'll hold a gun
his father's son

and as he grows
he hears the band
takes the step from boy to man
and at the shore she waves her son goodbye
like the man she did before

mother's pride
just a boy
his country's eyes
he's a soldier waving at the shore
and in her heart the time has come
to lose a son

and all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
they make no difference
no difference in the end
still hear the woman say your father died a hero
in the name of God and man

mother's pride
crazy boy
his lifeless eyes
he's a soldier now forevermore
he'll hold a gun 'till kingdom come

(George Michael)

10. On Through The Desert Storm Lyrics (Old Mans Child)

Old Mans Child - On Through The Desert Storm Lyrics

We hail our light
The sun of Satan
For with thy might
Come forth
We dominate the world
By one mightful force

See the slaughtering
Growing weak
Born by vice
And we drink of the
Doomsday chalice
And paint us with the blood of him

Sowed into flames
In their own pitiful graves
I kiss the raven that flew with me
Trough all the desert storms

Winged by sorrow -- grief of man
Flying high beneath the sky
Quiet and silent through the
Night cyclone

Tears wet my throne
Your dreams were not immortal
I enter then my realm

We hail our light
The ethereal sun
For with thy might paragon face
We dominate the million eclipses



** probably not eh? ** oh well..hmmmm

[auntAgonist]

14. maybe if you could hum a few bars ?

:eyes: :shrug:

[xpunkisneatx]

15. I know its frustrating...

Sorry! Thanks for the help though! I really cannot remember how it goes. But now its gonna bug me forever. lol

[POTGNE]

21. The Righteous Brothers?

LOL! My mother dated Bobby Hatfield (of TRB) right before they hit it big. I love that Unchained Melody Song....It's just too pretty. My mom is a song writer and has some of her stuff copywritten...She writes nice things...Sappy, but nice...LOL! Don't know what song you're referring to...Sorry. I'll check though and if I can come up with anything, I'll post it here for you.

[pamela]

16. Unchained Melody?

This song isn't about war but they played it constantly through out
Desert Storm.

"Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me"

[Contrary1]

17. How about this one?

» Same Dream (desert Storm)

T.V. nights and radio days
We all get the same news, all from the same place
We're going to war, they say it's for peace
So watch a few bombs drop and have a good night's sleep.
(chorus:)
Did anybody have the same dream as I?
Did anybody have the same dream last night?
They say that we're civil, they say that we're right
They say that we rain bombs down on them at night
And if you don't like it, what can you do?
You may try to sleep but it will follow you.
(chorus)
Oh baby, hold me tight
I just can't take the news tonight
They talk about war like it's a game
Don't hear about the people, only the planes
There will be lies never erased
Along with the lives never replaced
But if we try for peace in our time
We may get some peace of mind.
(chorus)

18. I FOUND IT!

Voices That Care Lyrics
Artist(Band):New Edition



Voices That Care Lyrics


(Ralph Tresvant:)
Lonely fear lights up the sky.
Can’t help but wonder why.

(Ralph Tresvant/Randy Travis:)
You’re so far away

(Celine Dion:)
There, you had to take a stand,
In someone else’s land,
Life can be so strange.

(Peter Cetera:)
I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose,
That we could find a way.

(Bobby Brown:)
(we could find a way)

(Brenda Russell:)
But I, won’t turn my again.

(Bobby Brown:)
(turn my back again.)

(Brenda Russell:)
Your honor I`ll defend.

(Warrrant:)
So hurry home, till then.

(Luther Vandross:)
(Till Then)

Chorus:
Stand Tall. Stand Proud!
Voices that care are crying out loud.
And when you close your eyes tonight,
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright.

(Luther Vandross:)
(Hurry Home)

(Garth Brooks/Kathy Mattea:)
I’m not here to justify the cause,
Or to count up all the loss.
That’s all been done before.

(Warrant:)
Just can’t let you feel alone,
When there’s so much love at home
We’re sending out to you.

(Michael Bolton:)
All the courage that you’ve known,
The bravery you’ve shown,
Clearly lights the way.

(Pointer Sisters:)
We Pray.
(Little Richard:)
To make the future bright.

(Pointer Sisters:)
To make the wrong things right.


(Will Smith:)
Right or Wrong
We’re all praying you’ll remain strong
That’s why we’re all here and singing along.

Chorus:
(Hey Hey)
Stand tall. Stand Proud!
Voices that care are crying out loud.
And when you close your eyes tonight,
Know in your heart how our love burns bright.

(Bobby Brown:)
Voices that care are crying out loud.

Chorus:
And when you close your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright.

(Kenny G playing the clarinet)

(Celion Dion:)
You are voice.
You are the light

Chorus:
Stand tall. Stand Proud!
Voices that care are crying out loud.

Luther Vandross:
(Are crying out loud, oooh)

Chorus:
And when you close your eyes tonight,
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright.

Chorus:
Stand tall. Stand Proud!
Voices that care are crying out loud.
And when you close your eyes tonight,
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright.

(Warren Wiebe:)
You are the voice and the guiding light,
Feel in your heart how our love burns bright.
