	Well, the site net-l.iastate.edu has lyrics for the movie, but they
don't look too official.  (For instance, one line in "The Touch" is put down
as "When all hell's breakin' loose / You'll be riding the eye of the storm".
Personally, I hear "right in the eye of the storm", which would make a lot
more sense.)  It's in /pub/lyrics/b/bush.stan/transformers-the.movie.Z (I
think.)   They may not be dead on, but they'll give us a baseline to start
from.


>>"Dare":
>>
>>Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered, there's nowhere to turn;
>> wonder how you keep goin'!
> ^- You
>>Think of all the things that really matter, all the chances you've earned (?);
>                                           ^^^and         (yes, that sounds OK)
>>The fire in your heart is growin'!
>>
>>You can fly if you try leavin' the past behind,
>>Heaven only knows what you might find...
>>
>>Dare!  Dare to believe you can survive;
>>You hold the future in your hands!
>>Dare!  Dare to keep all your dreams alive;
>>It's gonna      take a stand...
>      ^^^^^time to
>>You can win if you dare!
>>
>>Everybody's tryin' to break your spirit, keepin' you down;
>>Seems like it's been forever!
>>There's an early force (?), 'cause you're just healin',
>There's another voice, if you will just hear it (?),
>>                                                sayin' it's the last round;
			      ^^^^
			if you'll just hear it, sayin' it's the last round;
				(ok, I'm nitpicking)

>>Looks like it's now or never!
>>
>>Out of the darkness, you stumble into the light,
>>Fighting for the things you know are right...
>>
>>Dare!  Dare to believe you can survive;
>The power is there at your command!
>>Dare!  Dare to keep all your dreams alive;
>>It's gonna      take a stand...
>      ^^^^^time to
>>You can win if you dare! (dare! dare! dare! <echoing>)

>>(instrumental bridge)

>>(these final choruses are probably out of order)
>>Dare!  Dare to believe you can survive;
>>You hold the future in your hands!
>>Dare!  Dare to keep all your dreams alive;
>>The power is there at your command!
>Oh, oh, oh, Dare!  Dare to keep all your love alive;
>Dare to be all that you can be!
>>Dare!  There is a place where dreams survive;
>>It's gonna move on to victory!

	Ok...I agree on almost all but the last (admittedly incomprehensible)
line.  The file in net-l.iastate.edu has it as: "And it's calling you on to 
victory".  A friend of mine thinks it sounds like "It's part of your walk
to victory", and after repeated listening, I'm starting to agree with him.

	By the way, has anyone else listened to the album released by 
Stan Bush and Barrage?  (The name of the album AND the group.)  So far as
I know, it was only released on cassete and possibly LP.  Not bad at all,
IMHO.  It does have "The Touch" on it, but "Dare" is strangely missing.
(A great song, BTW.)  I'm pretty sure that this was released about the 
same time the movie came out, and I haven't heard anything else out of
them since.  (Nor have I been able to find it on CD, but I think it's 
unlikely that it was ever released in that format.)
