Mother (EarthBound 0)

Mother (EarthBound 0)
Song Lyrics 1.0
10/20/99

Writer: Andrew R Morozin ([email protected])

To make note first I'd like to say I wrote this Song Lyric FAQ
not the song's lyrics. Second I am a huge EarthBound fan and
I see that Mother (EarthBound 0) is WAY better than Mother 2
(EarthBound for Super Nintendo). It has a better story, better
characters, and WAY better music!!!

{1} Something to Say

This is not a song. I have something to say. If you like teh
lyrics
and want to hear the songs but can't I can help. As soon as I can
I will put a small simple webpage just for downloading the seven
songs from the Mother soundtrack with the lyrics for a small fee
of nothing! Yep! You get all the songs that are worth buying
the soundtrack for, for free! This will give me a better chance
of gaining a Mother soundtrack CD for myself...

But I will need an inspiration. If you're interested let me know.

The songs come in Real Audio forms (like believe.ra).
But they come in a zip with the lyrics attached. I just need
to upload them somwhere...

To find out who sings the songs, the people are listed before
the lyrics in this FAQ.

Nevermind! You don't ahve to wait. Get Mother or Mother 2, or in
America EarthBound 0 and EarthBound 1 soundtracks here!!!
http://www.earthbound.net/ebounding/sound/index.html

Enjoy! And ignore the part where the guy says it has all
Japanese lyrics. He's nuts. And my webpage is on if you still
really want it and remember to get Real Audio!!!

{2} Eight Melodies

Great song! Sung by Catherine Warwick.
You hear this song after you get a tune and after you get....
Whatever it is you get in Mother 2 (EarthBound 1)

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

(Tune differs here, is in game. Not in Mother 2 or EarthBound 1
for Americans)
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

{3} I believe

This song is also great...let's save time. They're all great.
It's sung by Catherine Warwick. You hear it a lot. You can
hear it outside of Ness's house and when Jack (leader of Bla-Bla
Gang)
says he believes before he passes out.

I BELIEVE
A.K.A POLLYANNA (I BELIEVE IN YOU)

I believe in morning sun
Always gonna shine again and
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end, goes
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 even say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
You can call me 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 even 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 even 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

{4} Bein' Friends

This is sung again by Catherine Warwick. You hear it after you get
Jeff (the nerd) in the town he's from. You also hear it in other
towns I believe.

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' friends 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' a 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' friends is about

(Song differs here, not in game, just for oundtrack. Also gets
freaky
but this is indeed a friendly song)
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*Repeat 3 times
Let me be a friend indeed
Count on me
(Song differ ends here)

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' a 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' friends is about
I'll be there someway, somehow
That's what bein' friends is about

(Song differs again, not in game, just for soundtrack)
Tell me all your secrets
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 am 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 is all about

{5} Wisdom of the World

This song is not sung by Catherine. It is sung by some woman.
Sorry don't know 'er name. You hear it inside Queen Mary's castle
in Magicant.

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, oh

* Show me the wisdom of the world
Tell me the secrets of the heart
And the sweet mysteries
of love
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

(* Repeat)

(Tune differ begins - Not in game, soundtrack only)
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
hugging please
(Tune differ ends)

(* Repeat)

{6} The Flying Man

The Flying Man is sung by some dude. Don't know his name either.
It is heard inside The Flying Man's house. It is also heard after
you die and in The Flying Man's house in Mother 2 (EarthBound 1).

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

(*Repeat)

(**Repeat)

(Song differs here, not in neither game, just for soundtrack)
So shine for all the world tonight
And live for love
Give your love to me

{7} Paradise Line

This whole song is basically a remix of the train song. Pretty
much
soundtrack only, a little recognizeable, basically a song just for
the
soundtrack, but it's great! It is sung by another dude who I don't
know.

THE PARADISE LINE

The Paradise Special's
Pullin' into the station
Hurry 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 gettin' 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 going by
Just as long as we're together we'll be fine
We'll be fine
Takin' the Paradise Line

(Chorus:)
*Life is fine
On the Paradise Line
You and I
On the Paradise Line
(*Repeat)

Wave your troubles 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

{8} All I Needed was You

Surprisingly the whole song is in the game except the electric
guitar
parts and the beginning and end. This is the last song sung by
Catherine Warwick. It is heard when Ness sings at the bar in
Ellay.

ALL THAT I NEEDED WAS YOU

I used to think I was so smart
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

(Tune differ begins)
*I've looked for you all of my life
Round every corner
Wishin' on stars
Like some kind of fool, ohh ohh
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, ooh ooh ooh
(Tune differ ends)

**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

(*Repeat)

(**Repeat)
