lonely boy
[Go to Song Page]
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
my feet are on the rock
[Go to Song Page]
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone
And I am not alone
So when I feel the need I dance before the throne
Take it easy, nice and slow
Feel his presence, don’t you know
If he says follow, I will go
I feel like dancing, ‘cause he saved my soul
Goliath had a sword, David had a stone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
So if you knock me down (Ooh woo woo woo)
Oh brother I will not fight you back (Ya ya ya ya, woo wo-wo wo-wo woo-oh wo wo)
You know God loves all his children (Wo woo woo woo)
Red, white, yellow, brown and black (Wo-oh oh oh oh oh)
Go Charley go
My my my, such a little boy too, mmm hmm
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving never satisfies my soul
Don’t wanna do the stroll
When I’m down I go off on my own
And I am not alone
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Mmm mm mm
Back off Jimmy, it’s not wrong
This kind of music comes from the church not from the devil
Now I hope you heared me
Good night
God bless you
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone

Goliath had a sword, David had a stone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
So if you knock me down (Ooh woo woo woo)
Oh brother I will not fight you back (Ya ya ya ya, woo wo-wo wo-wo woo-oh wo wo)
You know God loves all his children (Wo woo woo woo)
Red, white, yellow, brown and black (Wo-oh oh oh oh oh)
Go Charley go

country church, country people
[Go to Song Page]
Last Sunday there was preaching
We all went out to hear
The little church was crowded
The rich and poor were there
It was a splendid sermon
The singing full and free
Country church, country people
With their eyes upon the Lord
Built a church with a steeple
As a place to hear his word
You can live and die in the same small town
But the Lord spreads his love all around
The choir was dressed in glory (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Their voices dressed in love (Ooh ooh ooh)
The music told the story (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Of God who sent his son (Ooh ooh ooh)
How Jesus came from heaven (Ah ah ah ah)
To set the sinner free (Ah ah ah ah ah)
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
The choir was finished singing
And the congregation stood
While the spirit touched and filled them (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
With power, love and good (Ooh ooh ooh)
From God who reigns in heaven (Ah ah ah ah)
Always watching every man (Ah ah ah ah ah)
And guiding all his children
With his kind protecting hand
Oh (Oh oh oh)
Country church, country people
With their eyes upon the Lord
Built a church with a steeple
As a place to hear his word
You can live and die in the same small town
But the Lord spreads his love all around
But the Lord spreads his love all around (Ah ah ah ah)

sitting in my kitchen
[Go to Song Page]
I was sitting in my kitchen
Thinking about my life
And how some men end up all alone
Some men take a wife
How old men get discouraged
And young men go astray
And for every sinful thing we do
Somehow we will pay
I got up to get my bible
Some pages fell onto the floor
Well it’s an old one that my father had
And his father before
It’s been with me since my childhood
I was saved in '52
When I look back at my troubled life
I give thanks I’ve made it through
I am free, I can see
And I’m who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me (Ooh)
Yeah
Na na na na na na na na na na
Why does it take so long
Na na na na na na na na
To learn to stand and be strong
I grew up in San Francisco
In a real rough neighbourhood
Where they beat you bad if you were tough
And worse if you were good
But I came through those times
With a lot of love for those boys that knocked me down
And I pray some day I’ll see them
And we’ll be standing on sacred ground
I am free, I can see
And I'm who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Ah mercy me, mercy me, mercy me (Ooh)
Oh yeah
I am free (mercy mercy), I can see (mercy mercy)
And I'm who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mercy me, mercy me (yeah yeah), mercy me (Ooh)
Yeah, woh woh ah yeah oh
I am free (yeah yeah yeah), I can see
I'm who I wan’ to be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Oh ah I’m free, I can see ah ah ah ah ah
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me
Yeah oh ah
I am free (oh oh), I can see (Ooh I can see)
And I'm who I want to be (Ooh ooh ooh)
(Woh ho ho oh ho ho oh)
(Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me) Mercy me now, mercy me, mercy me
Yeah, yeah, he's coming back again (Oh oh oh oh)
I am free, I can see
Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me
Ah mercy me ya-hey-hey-ah

camel through a needle's eye
[Go to Song Page]
Well I got something that I think you’ll want
It’s not for sale, it can’t be bought
Lean closer, let me fill you in
Baby you need a friend, yeah
You've got money, you've got diamond rings
You’re finding out that don’t mean a thing
What good’s the soul that cannot sing
So take a chance, take a chance with me
Open your eyes and you will see
Yeah, I own nothing but I’m a wealthy man
I’ll share it with you if you take my hand
Your daddy’s money gonna give you the blues
Tell your mamma take her hands off of you, wo-oh
Pick up the cross, God’ll see you through
You know I love you baby
I love you hard and I love you long
And I don’t want this love to perish
So listen to the message and the music
And the lyrics of this song
Yeah
A camel through a needle’s eye, mmm
Not all the rich have to die
Follow closely, do not stray
You can probably keep the money
Just give your soul away, ye-ah yeah
Don’t negotiate, just stop and pray
Lift your head up to heaven and say
Please forgive me, take these things away
And then keep walking
Walk tall doll
Carry that cross
A light unto your path
A lamp unto your feet
You fall down
Get back up again
It’s foolishness to them that perish [Spoken]
Yeah yeah ah-ya-ah
Yeah yeah yeah-ah-ah-ah
I’m gonna love you till your dying day
Till you're born again or turn me away
It’s up to you, there’s nothing left to say
Hmm mm mm mm just keep walking
Well I got something that I think you’ll want
It’s not for sale, it can’t be bought

nightmare #49 (Part one)
[Go to Song Page]
I was playing guitar at 34th and M
When a man said are you him
I said am I who, he said I don’t know
So ineluctably I gave him a scenario
I said jump back, back in time
Back to ‘68, I didn’t have a dime
I was more poor than I’d ever been
And I was living like an orphan
In the city of sin
Yeah, that’s right
Uh huh oh
Capitol Records, Hollywood and Vine
I was following God, I was feeling fine
I was preaching on the corner
Singing in the streets
An ancient message with a modern beat
My hair was long
I might’a dressed like a bum
But my music made it clear
Where I was coming from
And where I’m going to
When my life is done
Well have you seen your brother baby
Standing in the son
In the son
In the son
I was playing guitar at 34th and M
When a man said are you him
I said am I who, he said I don’t know
So ineluctably I gave him a scenario
I said jump back, back in time
Back to ‘68, I didn’t have a dime
I was more poor than I’d ever been
And I was living like an orphan
In the city of sin
Yeah, that’s right
Uh huh oh

Singing in the streets

But my music made it clear
Where I was coming from
And where I’m going to
When my life is done
Well have you seen your brother baby
Standing in the son
In the son
In the son
oh how i love you
[Go to Song Page]
Oh how I love you
The words they don't come easily
How I love you
You've opened my eyes
Oh how I love you
The words they don't come easily
How I love you
You've opened my eyes
queen of the rodeo
[Go to Song Page]
Ah, well stay away from that girl
She’s the queen of the rodeo
You might ride her to ecstasy
But are you sure that’s where you wanna go
'Cause you’ll never find
A love that’s true
So far below the son
And you’ll spend your life
Hiding in the shadows
Stay away from that girl
She’s the queen of the rodeo
You might ride into ecstasy
But are you
Ah, well stay away from that girl
She’s the queen of the rodeo
You might ride her to ecstasy
But are you sure that’s where you wanna go
'Cause you’ll never find
A love that’s true
So far below the son
And you’ll spend your life
Hiding in the shadows
Stay away from that girl
She’s the queen of the rodeo
You might ride into ecstasy
But are you
he really loves you
[Go to Song Page]
When are you gonna love him, love him
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
He really loves you, I know it’s true [x2]
You’re not getting any younger and time moves on
Stop standing in the shadows, start looking for the son
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Yes he really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
Well think about the day we met, for so long I said that prayer
Then you finally bowed your head, sitting in my kitchen chair
And once you walked where Jesus walked, but now you’ve run away
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
He really loves you, you know it’s true
He really loves you, heaven high above you
He really loves you, you know it’s true
If you don’t die once you’re gonna die twice
Obedience is better than sacrifice
He really loves you, yes he really loves you [x2]
Oh I had a vision near Otsego Gate
I saw you in Sud San Duphaey
Unborn children weep and wait
For that resurrection day
The saviour sits in heaven and he’s calling out your name
He really loves you, yes he really loves you
He really loves you, I know it’s true
He really loves you, heaven high above you
He really loves you, I know it’s true
Well I love you my brother so heed this well
If you want to go to heaven you've got to get past hell
He really loves you, yes he really loves you [x2]
When are you gonna cross that line, when are you gonna love him
When are you gonna make up your mind, when are you gonna love him, love him
Cross that line, ‘cause he crossed that line for you
Cross that line, and if you do the son will shine on you
Yes he will
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (He really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Yes he really loves you)
He really loves you, yes he really loves you (Bom bom bom bom bom bom) [x2]
Stay away from that girl (When are you gonna cross that line)
She’s the queen of the rodeo (When are you gonna love him)
La la la la la la (When are you gonna cross that line)
Now you’re laying on that sandy beach (La la la la la na la la)
Thinking ‘bout your thinning hair (When are you gonna love him)
I love you (When are you gonna cross that line)
He loves you [x4] (When are you gonna love him)
La la la la na la
He loves you [x5] (When are you gonna cross that line)
(When are you gonna love him)
La la na la
He loves you [x5] (When are you gonna cross that line)

here comes the king
[Go to Song Page]
(Wo wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh ooh ooh)
The world is ending with a shout from above
Here come the angels with the champion of love
The fight is over, the victory belongs to the king
The gates of heaven have been opened for you
The prince of darkness and his minions are through
The demons are in terror of the song that the angels sing
Ah here comes the king, oh here comes the king
Here comes the king, mmm-hmm, here comes the king
The earth will shake, the moon will turn to blood
Armies will be drowned in the crimson flood
No one can escape the coming battle that the end will bring
This world’s imprisoned at the end of the age
The king of hearts holds the keys to the cage
The palace of shadows will be invaded and the halls will ring
Here comes the king, here comes the king
Here comes the king, wo-oh, here comes the king
Here comes the king (Here comes the king), mmm-hmm, here comes the king (Here comes the king)

You can hide in the night
But you never will escape
From the total revelation of the heavenly light
(Wo-oh)
I can see it coming and it won’t be long
He’ll change the night from day and the right from wrong
Death is all around us, let us waken from this dream
There is no escape for the human race (Ooh ooh ooh)
Faith alone will take you to the edge of space (Ooh)
You can enter by the door or you can stand in the shadows and scream (Ooh ooh ooh)
Here comes the king (Here comes the king) [x2]
Here comes the king (Ooh woo-ooh), Oh oh

letters to the church
[Go to Song Page]
[Sarah]
Every time I see you, you know I start to cry
I know what you’re doing and that you’re living a lie
And Jesus is waiting outside your door
But you don’t love him like before
And you don’t listen anymore
[Larry]
You speak of compassion but you don’t really care, m-mm-mmm
You can talk of heaven but are you going there
God’s trying to touch you but you’re out of reach
And you don’t practice what you preach
I know the shadows you seek, I know the places you're weak
[Both]
You’ve run away
And you’re looking so much colder [Sarah mis-sings the word 'older']
Won’t you please stop and pray
And your spirit’s getting colder
Let him take the weight off your shoulder, oooh
You seek after fortune and you live for yourself, oh oh-oh
You stand in the spotlight and leave God on the shelf
You smile, you gesture, each hair is in place
But I can see behind your face, the sorrow you can’t erase
Woh ho oh oh
Oh ho ho oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Sarah]
Every time I see you, you know I start to cry
I know what you’re doing and that you’re living a lie
And Jesus is waiting outside your door
But you don’t love him like before
And you don’t listen anymore
[Larry]
You speak of compassion but you don’t really care, m-mm-mmm
You can talk of heaven but are you going there
God’s trying to touch you but you’re out of reach
And you don’t practice what you preach
I know the shadows you seek, I know the places you're weak
[Both]
You’ve run away
And you’re looking so much colder [Sarah mis-sings the word 'older']
Won’t you please stop and pray
And your spirit’s getting colder
Let him take the weight off your shoulder, oooh
You seek after fortune and you live for yourself, oh oh-oh
You stand in the spotlight and leave God on the shelf
You smile, you gesture, each hair is in place
But I can see behind your face, the sorrow you can’t erase
Woh ho oh oh
Oh ho ho oh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
we three twogether
[Go to Song Page]
Will true love smile on you
Sometimes you never know
And I myself was lonely
Not so very long ago
Life was hard, times were bad
Heart was broken, I was feeling sad
My dreams had blown away like a feather
Could not smile, could not sleep
Nothing helped, not even counting sheep
Heart filled with rain, no change in the weather
My faithful friend
Whose name is Phydeaux
He could not chase away my blues
Ah but he tried though
Empty heart, full of strife
Then one day love walked into my life
And all at once we stood there together
Bra ba ba
Bra ba ba
Bra pa pa pa pa ba da pa da
Wha pa pa pa pa
Wha pa pa pa wa
Held our breath for a baby boy
Two months early, big fat bundle of joy
And now we three are happy together
Our dearest friend
Old faithful Phydeaux
He could not come along to the baby ward
But he tried though
Love abides, life makes sense
Great big house with a little white picket fence
And now we three are happy together
Will true love smile on you
Sometimes you never know
And I myself was lonely
Not so very long ago
Life was hard, times were bad
Heart was broken, I was feeling sad
My dreams had blown away like a feather
Could not smile, could not sleep
Nothing helped, not even counting sheep
Heart filled with rain, no change in the weather
My faithful friend
Whose name is Phydeaux
He could not chase away my blues
Ah but he tried though
Empty heart, full of strife
Then one day love walked into my life
And all at once we stood there together
Bra ba ba
Bra ba ba
Bra pa pa pa pa ba da pa da
Wha pa pa pa pa

Two months early, big fat bundle of joy
And now we three are happy together
Our dearest friend
Old faithful Phydeaux

Love abides, life makes sense
Great big house with a little white picket fence
And now we three are happy together
somewhere out there
[Go to Song Page]
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife
I’ve never wanted to be no star
And I’m afraid that God is still the only reason
That I pick up my guitar
Oh oh oh [x3]
When you’re awake I try to show you all the love I can give
So you’ll have strength for the fight
‘Cause as you get older life gets harder to live
I love you more than anything else on earth
I think about you all the time
And every night I’m praying that the second birth
Will someday be the first thing on your mind
Oh oh oh [x6]
Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when you’re trying to live the way you should
Sometimes you don’t know right from wrong and white from black
And when you’re trying to love the best you can, baby you don’t hold nothing back
Whoa oh oh whoa woah oh oh whoa woah oh
Well I hope that when you’re older you will understand
Why your life ain’t turning out exactly the way it was planned
'Cause everything keeps changing on this crazy planet
Sometimes I don’t know what I can do, but I’m working hard for our future
So be good to your mother and you’ll make your father happy too
Oh oh oh [x2]
Oh ah ah
Oh oh oh [x3]
Love might be blind

Whoa oh oh
Oh oh oh [x2]
Since you came into my life these last three years, I’ve felt a new kind of pain
It really breaks my heart when each tour starts and you’re waving goodbye to the plane
I’d like to live at home for the rest of my life and spend every day playing with you
But that’s not the reason I was put on earth
I gotta make my father happy too
Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh, yes I do
Mmm mm-hmm-mm-hmm-mm, oh oh ho whoa oh ho
Oh oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh oh ah oh-oh
Well I hope that somewhere out there it’s all waiting for you
And I hope that when you get there you know what to do
If you fall down get back up, you know I love you so much
And I hope that when you’re out there you will make it through
Oh oh oh [x11]
Ah ah ah
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife

lonely boy
[Go to Song Page]
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
There's no place left for me
I've been everywhere in the world there is
I've sailed the seven seas
But when I return it's always the same
No one's waiting for me
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world
So now I'll sail the seas once more
Now I'll sail the seas
I'm in the middle of an island
I'm in the middle of a sea
I'm staying here 'cause there's no place left for me
Yay yay yay
I'm a lonely boy in a lonely world

hard luck bad news
[Go to Song Page]
I've been having some hard times
All my life
I hope things change pretty soon
Hard luck and bad news
Has followed me from town to town
All my life my luck's been down
I'm getting so weary
I don't have one friend
Folks turn their backs when I'm around
And where I walk the grass turns brown
No one will come near me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die
My life's been lonely
I've never heard a kindly word
Ugly names is all I've heard
And mean is how they treat me
Nobody trusts me
They blame me for the fires in town
Claim that hell is where I'm bound
And pray that God will speed me
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die
Woo
Life's not worth living
My sorrow's more than I can say
Tomorrow's just another day
I hate to see the sun rise
Yet maybe someday
I'll find a man to call a friend
I'll be his friend until the end
In loneliness my heart cry
Hard luck and bad news
Hard luck and bad news
If you were in my shoes you'd die [x2]
I've been having some hard times

sitting in my kitchen
[Go to Song Page]
I was sitting in my kitchen
Thinking about my life
And how some men end up all alone
Some men take a wife
How old men get discouraged
And young men go astray
And for every sinful thing we do
Somehow we will pay
I got up to get my bible
Some pages fell onto the floor
Well it’s an old one that my father had
And his father before
It’s been with me since my childhood
I was saved in '52
When I look back at my troubled life
I give thanks I’ve made it through
I am free, I can see
And I’m who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me (Ooh)
Yeah
Na na na na na na na na na na
Why does it take so long
Na na na na na na na na
To learn to stand and be strong
I grew up in San Francisco
In a real rough neighbourhood
Where they beat you bad if you were tough
And worse if you were good
But I came through those times
With a lot of love for those boys that knocked me down
And I pray some day I’ll see them
And we’ll be standing on sacred ground
I am free, I can see
And I'm who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Ah mercy me, mercy me, mercy me (Ooh)
Oh yeah

nightmare #49
[Go to Song Page]
I was playing guitar at 34th and M
When a man said are you him
I said am I who, he said I don’t know
So ineluctably I gave him a scenario
I said jump back, back in time
Back to ‘68, I didn’t have a dime
I was more poor than I’d ever been
And I was living like an orphan
In the city of sin
Yeah, that’s right
Uh huh oh
Capitol Records, Hollywood and Vine
I was following God, I was feeling fine
I was preaching on the corner
Singing in the streets
An ancient message with a modern beat
My hair was long
I might’a dressed like a bum
But my music made it clear
Where I was coming from
And where I’m going to
When my life is done
Well have you seen your brother baby
Standing in the son
In the son
In the son

Don't believe in Beatles, I don't believe in rock
I don't believe in the cutting edge, that's just journalist talk
I don't believe in the cover story or the gospel chart
You can easily hit number one with a bullet but totally miss the heart
Oh I, yeah I believe in God
I don't believe in politics while the masses stay unfed
Till the leaders change priorities and supply the poor with bread
Don't believe in the revolution or the empty words of peace
You can tear all of the governments down, you still won't find release
But I, oh I believe in God
I believe in God
I don't believe the papacy when fallible lies are told
If they really want to help the poor they should sell some of their gold
And I don't believe the Aryans are the master race
If you think that Jesus is white you'd be surprised to see his face
But I, oh I believe in God
I believe in God
Don't believe in Esperanto or the dreams of Babylon
If we all spoke the same language, long ago we would'a built the bomb
And I don't believe in money, the way lives are bought and sold
And when the world is ended bankrupt I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
No I don't believe in evolution, I was born to be free
Ain't gonna let no anthropologist make a monkey out of me
And I don't believe the devil, I ain't gonna be his slave
And when I'm finished dying I'm a gonna bust out of my grave

When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
They don't seem to take you far
And you just can't keep from stumbling
Though you try so hard to stand
And the truth can be so humbling
When it's just beyond your hand
As though youth were my invention
As though love lay undefined
To stay free was my intention
To stay young and unconfined
And so I held my pride above you
Oh yes what a fool was I
Holding back those words God loves you
And letting out that word goodbye
I was wrong to let you go
I was a child and I did not know
About the love that we both could have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
I was foolish in my younger days
To think they'd never end
Life confused me with its changing ways
And I could not comprehend
All the meaning in those moments
Now lost like footprints in the sand
And I'm standing here remembering
But it's so hard to understand
I was wrong to let you go
I was a child and I did not know
About the love that we both could have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
I've been sitting in this garden
In the middle of my days
And my memories fade and harden
As the years they slip away
And I've been looking in this mirror
At the age around my eyes
Time is such an earnest labourer
Precision is his neighbour
Lay my body in the ground
But let my spirit touch the skies
And I was wrong to let you go
I was a child, how could I know
About the love that we both could have, should have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
If I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
Well if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven

One two one [Spoken]
Well it ain’t no good to lay in bed at night
And think about the past
About how you coulda done things differently
But they just happened way too fast
Why don’t you close your eyes, go to sleep
And let the angels bring you dreams
Let those years unwind behind you
And float away on silent streams
You’ve got to live your life the best you can
Though you sometimes do your worst
You’ve got to laugh when you fail
It doesn’t matter anyway
Life is a play that’s unrehearsed
Don’t make too many plans for tomorrow
You can’t control what lies ahead
Why don’t you try to live each moment as it comes instead
(Ooh ooh) Sha la la la la la la la la la la

It’s only today that counts
So live it like it might be your last
Well it never helps to worry
And it never hurts to pray

leaving the past behind
[Go to Song Page]
I'm putting on my walking shoes, please help me find my hat
It's time that I was leaving, got no time for looking back
I'm going away, yeah feeling fine, wo-oh
When it's time to go you've got to leave the past behind
When I look out through my window, it's as dark as it could be
But I know the son is coming to wake the world from sleep
I'm going away, going away, feeling fine woah wo-oh
And when you follow where he leads
You've got to leave the past behind
Man is born in trouble, everybody got the blues
People looking for an answer, people wishing for good news
So if you got the answer then there's one thing you must do
You must tell them what you know and you must live a life that's true
Wo-hoo
Aoww man is born in trouble, everybody's got the blues
People praying for an answer, people hoping for good news
So if you know the answer there is one thing you must do
You must walk, you must talk, you must hurry up to beat the clock
You must tell them to get ready so they can leave the past behind
Well my circle is completed, I've got to travel on
So if you understand, don't talk about me when I'm gone
I'm going away (going away)
I'm going away (going away)
I'm feeling fine, 89 is really 99
I'm going away, going away, going away
Island in the sky is number nine
I'm going away, going away, going away
I'm feeling fine
Well it's a good good feeling when you leave the past behind
Yeah I've got to start another circle, got to leave the past behind
Wo-ooh
I'm going away, you won't see me for a while
I gotta do some things, I got to walk an extra mile
But I'll see you in the city of the lost angel
I'm going away
I'm putting on my walking shoes, please help me find my hat
It's time that I was leaving, got no time for looking back
I'm going away, yeah feeling fine, wo-oh
When it's time to go you've got to leave the past behind

if you don't love the lord you'll fall
[Go to Song Page]
I saw you come
And I watched you go
Your words of faith were just for show, mm hmm
You sang so sweetly
In the spotlight's glare
So full of grace and savoire-faire
Behind the curtain
You're full of greed
The things you want, the things you need, oh-oh-ah
You pose for pictures
Aim for the headlines
But you will end up in the breadlines
The only thing I know
The only thing I know
The only thing I know
Is if you don't love the Lord, you'll fall
You run in packs
Full of pride
Caught up in sins you've learned to hide
You walk in darkness
With friends and fools
Who seek earth's gold
Not heaven's jewels
The more I give
The more you take
Endless desire became your ache
Oh you call me friend
Oh pretty please
The smiles and warmth of enemies, enemies
And the only thing I know
The only thing I know
The only, only thing I know
Is if you don't love the Lord, you'll fall
(Da da da da da ra da da)
I had the blues (I've had the blues)
But now I'm feeling well (But now I'm feeling well)
You've got to aim for heaven (You've got to aim for heaven)
Or you'll wake up in hell (Wake up, wake up in hell)
You've got to fight that fight (Fight that fight)
You've got to run that race (Run that race)
Or you'll never see him face to face
A soldier's heart
A love of wealth
A fear of death
Soon will undermine your health
Oh so remote
And out of reach
If you don't change
You'll end up stranded at the, stranded at the beach
You call it love
God calls it lust
You burn inside from lack of trust
The thinning hair
The lizard grip
The dreams of glory slowly slip
The only thing I know
And the bible says it's so
The only thing I know
Is if you don't love the Lord you'll fall
(If you don't love the Lord, if you don't love the Lord)
You'll fall
I saw you come
And I watched you go
Your words of faith were just for show, mm hmm
You sang so sweetly
In the spotlight's glare
So full of grace and savoire-faire
Behind the curtain
You're full of greed
The things you want, the things you need, oh-oh-ah

out of my system
[Go to Song Page]
The switch is off, the lights are out
It took no special wisdom
To pull the plug and cut the wires
And now you're out of my system
It took me years to change the gears
I could barely twist 'em
But now you're gone the tears have dried, I died
Now you're out of my system
You're out of my
You're out of my system [x2]
You led me on with words of love
I just couldn't resist 'em baby
You never meant those things you said, that's all right
You're out of my system
Wo oh oh oh
You're out of my
You're out of my system
You're out of my
You're out of my
You're out of my
You're out of my system [x2]
You'd disappear until the morning light
So many alibis I can't list 'em baby
I used to lie awake at night, all right
Now you're out of my
You know you're out of my
You ran around with other men
Ooh you made love and kissed 'em baby
But now you're gone do what you want
I don't care because you're out of my
You know you're out of my
You're out of my
You're out of my system
You're out of my
You're out of my
You're out of my
You're out of my system
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The switch is off, the lights are out

You're out of my system
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
somewhere out there
[Go to Song Page]
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife
I’ve never wanted to be no star
And I’m afraid that God is still the only reason
That I pick up my guitar
Oh oh oh [x3]
When you’re awake I try to show you all the love I can give
So you’ll have strength for the fight
‘Cause as you get older life gets harder to live
I love you more than anything else on earth
I think about you all the time
And every night I’m praying that the second birth
Will someday be the first thing on your mind
Oh oh oh [x6]
Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when you’re trying to live the way you should
Sometimes you don’t know right from wrong and white from black
And when you’re trying to love the best you can, baby you don’t hold nothing back
Whoa oh oh whoa woah oh oh whoa woah oh
Well I hope that when you’re older you will understand
Why your life ain’t turning out exactly the way it was planned
'Cause everything keeps changing on this crazy planet
Sometimes I don’t know what I can do, but I’m working hard for our future
So be good to your mother and you’ll make your father happy too
Oh oh oh [x2]
Oh ah ah
Oh oh oh [x3]
Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
Sometimes you try to live the way you should
Don’t know right from wrong, white from black
And when I’m trying to love you the best that I can, baby I don’t hold nothing back
Whoa oh oh
Oh oh oh [x2]
Since you came into my life these last three years, I’ve felt a new kind of pain
It really breaks my heart when each tour starts and you’re waving goodbye to the plane
I’d like to live at home for the rest of my life and spend every day playing with you
But that’s not the reason I was put on earth
I gotta make my father happy too
Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh, yes I do
Mmm mm-hmm-mm-hmm-mm, oh oh ho whoa oh ho
Oh oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh oh ah oh-oh
Well I hope that somewhere out there it’s all waiting for you
And I hope that when you get there you know what to do
If you fall down get back up, you know I love you so much
And I hope that when you’re out there you will make it through
Oh oh oh [x11]
Ah ah ah
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife
I’ve never wanted to be no star

Me and my brother went to Russia
We sang our songs and played our drums and guitars
Am I supposed to be impressed with Glasnost
Well what about the christians still behind bars
Selah [x4]
Oh oh

You ripped me off but I ain’t gonna sue you
Our father doesn’t like it when we act that way
Here take my cloak, but what good will it do ya
You’d feel much better if we’d stop and pray

let the rain fall down
[Go to Song Page]
My woman left me, felt like she left me for another man
You know it came as some surprise, it wasn't in the plan
She never told me nothing was wrong, she didn't give me a clue
But one morning there was a knock on the door and I found out we were through
I saw my future fading and with the papers in my hand
I found myself transported into this desert land
My feet are burning, the hour is getting late
My journey is much too long and time will not wait
So heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
As through this life you ramble and through this world you roam
You might live in a lot of places and never find your home
As down the road you wander, through the open fields you cross
You must never stop believing, for all is not lost
And don't worry 'bout the unfaithful lover and false friend
For the love that you have given is what matters in the end
Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall down on me
Oh let the rain fall, let it fall on me
Oh let the rain fall down on me
Life is complicated, very hard to live
I try to turn my cheek to everything my enemies give
I got a lot of compassion for the sinners and the slaves
I've got a message for those not in their graves
He will cover you with water and baptize your pain
If you let his power wash you clean and soothe your fevered brain
Oh heavenly father
Help me thine to be
You let the rain fall on the quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me
Let it fall
I didn't know you were my father
I thought you were the hanging judge
And when I came into your courtroom
I thought you'd hold a grudge
I thought I was a lowly servant
I didn't know I was your son
And I didn't know you had forgiveness
For anything I might have done
This world is crumbling, your kingdom is at hand
Give me the strength to live and help me to stand
There's gonna be a collision, the world is going fast
A mortgaged future meets a bankrupt past
A change is coming and people slumber in their bed
Storm clouds are bringing rain, the moon is turning red
Heavenly father
Thou who all doth see
You let the rain fall on the good and the bad
So let the rain fall on me
Dearest father
Help me thine to be
You know the rain falls on the quick and the dead
So let the rain fall down on me
Let the rain fall down on me
Let it fall on me
Let it fall on me
Let this good life be the life we lead
Let our faith grow like a mustard seed
Let his love be all the love we need
To carry us all the way home
My woman left me, felt like she left me for another man

goodbye, farewell
[Go to Song Page]
Goodbye, farewell
We'll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye my friend, goodbye
The light grows dim
But in this hour
I have no tears to cry
My heart is full
My joy complete
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
I feel no loss of hope as I've grown older
Only this worlds weight upon my shoulder
My heart beats to a slower song
So softly in my veins
The night is warm but in my sleep
I dream of heaven's rain
Everything I am I’ve tried to show you
In this life I’ve been so blessed to know you
Goodbye, farewell
We’ll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will walk with God
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
Goodbye, farewell
We'll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye my friend, goodbye
The light grows dim
But in this hour
I have no tears to cry
My heart is full
My joy complete
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
I feel no loss of hope as I've grown older
Only this worlds weight upon my shoulder
My heart beats to a slower song
So softly in my veins
The night is warm but in my sleep
I dream of heaven's rain
Everything I am I’ve tried to show you
In this life I’ve been so blessed to know you
Goodbye, farewell
We’ll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will walk with God
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
