Stand beside me
I will never let you fall
Stand beside me

Like a rumble fish
Waiting to drown like all of my rivals
Hiding in rooms so hot
To the human touch

6- Kansas – Lamplight Symphony
7- Kansas – The Wall
To pass beyond is what I seek
I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who’ve seen it through
To glimpse the other side
The promised land is waiting
Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
8- Kansas – What’s On My Mind
9- KANSAS – Need to Know
10- Kansas – One Man One Heart
You’ve broken my defenses
And opened up my soul
The love I tried to keep inside
I cannot control
So let the wind be silent
The ocean turn to sand
And let your body dream of me
And see me as I am
11- Kansas – Once In A Lifetime
12- Kansas – All The World
13- Kansas – I Counted On Love
14- Kansas – Reason to Be
Someday something will find you
A magical feeling you could not foresee
A feeling so devastating
From that moment on your life’s a comedy
And suddenly you’re light as a feather
You’re falling like a leaf from a tree
The things you thought you needed are fading
Your reason to be
15- Kansas – Hope Once Again
16- Kansas – Right Away
All of this days and nights we shared
Remember the good, forget the bad
All of the things that we’ve been through
Don’t they mean anything to you
Oh, when the night comes I feel all alone
Knowing that you won’t be there
It was a good thing, what we once had
Can’t live without it, I’ve gotta get it back
17- Kansas – Anything for You
18- Kansas – Bells of Saint James
I don’t remember when those words changed
Like Kansas summer turns to fall
But she quit talking ’bout the future
Never mentioned dreams at all
19- Kansas – Dust in the Wind
Released in 1977, this acoustic ballad became one of Kansas’s biggest hits. It reflects on the fleeting nature of life and love, reminding us of the importance of cherishing the moments we have.
