Safe Harbor © 2002 Vondelle L. Hebert
1. Watching you gaze out on the shining sea Knowing it's time for you to take that journey Setting sail with all your dreams.
Chorus I'm wishing you safe harbor Like a ship sailing into a quiet bay Safe harbor Where the sun shines gently everyday May your love be such a place A shelter full of grace I'm wishing you safe harbor.
2. Walking on the beach on a stormy day Watching the waves and feeling the spray Knowing some storms are headed your way.
I'm wishing you safe harbor Like a ship sailing into a quiet bay Safe harbor Where the sun shines gently everyday May your love be such a place A shelter full of grace
I'm wishing you safe harbor Like a ship sailing into a quiet bay Safe harbor Where the sun shines gently everyday. May your love be such a place A shelter full of grace I'm wishing you safe harbor.

This Lyric is: #101 Title: One Wish What would *YOU* wish for ... if *YOU* had found that genie in a bottle?! -steale Story Behind the Song: As I laid in bed on a Saturday morning my 5 year old daughter crawled in next to me. She asked me, "If you could have one wish, daddy, what would it be?" ... I thought about her mom ... The song was written that same day. -steale 1ST-VERSE: I walked along the ocean Like a thousand times before Lost in thoughts of you I noticed something on the shore It was a bottle made of gold And when I wiped the away the sand Towering before me Stood the image of a man 2ND-VERSE He said that I had set him free And fate had just smiled down on me One and only one wish now was mine All the riches of the world, you see Were at my beckon call Whatever I decide, yeah I would have it all 1ST-CHORUS: Then suddenly it was clear to me No decision to be made If one and only one wish would come true, Then I wish that I could stop loving you. 3RD-VERSE: He said I am the greatest That has ever walked this land I've made kings, queens and history Ever since the dawn of man Then his eyes filled with sadness As he looked down towards the sand And said, "Though I am the greatest of them all..." 2ND-CHORUS: There is one thing I confess to you That even such as I can't do There's one wish even I can't make come true He said he couldn't stop my heart from loving you. BRIDGE: Somethings in this old world Are forever cast in stone So my memories and love for you Are better left alone Though the stars burn out, the earth stand still And the sun refuse to shine This pain that lives inside of me Is with me for all time (Instumental) 1ST-CHORUS: ------------------ Steale [This message has been edited by Brian Austin Whitney (edited 09-01-2002).]

This Lyric is: #102
Morning in the Promised Land Snow drifts down like wasted time, parachuting ecstasy, with promises of better times while birds warm up their melodies, feeding on the scattered crumbs. We're waiting for the light to come, while I hold your little hand, this morning in the promised land.
The traffic coughs along the street churning snow to smoke and ash. The radio admits defeat, tossing hope into the trash, leaving love somewhere behind, buried in this heart of mine, to make its solitary stand this morning in the promised land.
Chorus: And as I watch the falling snow I think of all the cold and bitter things no six-year-old should ever have to know. It’s something I don’t understand, But every time I take your hand, it's morning in the promised land.
It was nearly seven years ago when I was wearing out my shoes watching bills pile up like snow, when your mother broke the news, and people said this crowded world had no use for one more girl, as if they could have ever planned this morning in the promised land.
(Chorus)
But now we celebrate the day when you were born and grew in faith, who taught her sister how to pray for promises that Jesus made. I love to see you smile like that, a princess in a party hat, who helped her father understand it's morning in the promised land.
(Chorus)

Walk Away Copyright 1/14/02 Written By: T.K. Durham
I grew up in a real small town My daddy was seldom around I was so young when I heard him say “I may or may not be back tonight” And then he walked away And then he walked away
Daddy spent his life workin’ on the loadin’ docks ‘Cause that was all that he could do One day daddy just didn’t come back I guess he’d had enough too So he walked away Then he walked away
Momma sat me down in that kitchen chair She said son sometimes life just ain’t fair So listen close to what I say Sometimes the best thing you can do... Is walk away Oh walk away I heard her say... walk away
Late one night in a real small town I saw a big man knock a pretty girl down So I ran up and did the same to him But he never got up again I should’ve walked away I should've walked away
As I looked down in her pretty bruised face She looked up at me and quickly looked away And so I asked her “Gonna be ok?” She just whispered “I think…... You better walk away… You better walk away….. I heard her say…. You better walk away
And as I did I felt so sad ‘Cause that was the last time I ever saw my dad As I walked away…I walked away… I walked away…I walked away…... I grew up in a real small town

Secondary Roads
The house needs some new siding And there’s a junker in the yard Ed’s workman’s comp ran out last month And life is just damned hard
Inside him there’s a tug-o-war For land he swore’d never be sold But developers pay top dollar Out on secondary roads
Since ’89 the corral’s been empty And now there Dixie and Clyde Hope seemed a long time comin’ But now the smiles are hard to hide
Teaching kids the love of horses Was the dream of Ken and Rose Now the dream’s coming ‘round again On this secondary road
Chorus The stories are full of passion as the snowy silent dark When winter’s icy pincers grip the land It’s a hang-on fight to stay and make a go But one by one they’ll tell you, For better or for worse Life in all its grit and glory lives Down secondary roads
Townships on the interstate Build more suburbs every year They sell ‘em off for half a million, A tiny lot and not a tree
God knows where the money comes from I don’t even want to know But I know my dreams are richer Out on secondary roads
On the chance I get to Heaven I’ll admire those streets of gold But I expect that I’ll find Jesus Out on secondary roads Chorus The stories are full of passion as the snowy silent dark When winter’s icy pincers grip the land It’s a hang-on fight to stay and make a go But one by one they’ll tell you, For better or for worse Life in all its grit and glory lives Down secondary roads

"YOU ARE MY HOME" (Mike Hansen)
(verse 1) There are millions of people on this earth That bring one another light And there are many roads along the way Which offer wrong and right Well the road I took that led to you Was lit so bright Like an Angel’s light Struck and lit a fuse…
(Chorus) You…you are my home, you are my resting place You’re my center of gravity in this space When I’m cold inside, you warm my soul When I fall apart, you make me whole With you by my side, wherever we may go I’m at peace…Cause you’re my home
(Verse 2) There are so many that drift along through their lives And that’s fine for some to be I Thank God that you reached far beyond And awakened reality You came along and took my life And filled it up For the world to see With you I’m truly free…
(Chorus) You…you are my home, you are my resting place You’re my center of gravity in this space When I’m cold inside, you warm my soul When I fall apart, you make me whole With you by my side, wherever we may go I’m at peace…Cause you’re my home
(tag) With you by my side, wherever we may go I’m at peace…Cause you’re my home You…you are my home, you are my resting place…

Reflections in a Bottle Marty Helly © 1978. 2001
Waste away my life Facing every day Working on another bottle of gin Wish that I could know Would someone please tell me How to get out of this state I'm in
Because I'm killing myself slowly I'm dying all the time This poison that's inside me keeps me going I am so alone Hiding in my bottle To try and keep my loneliness From showing
Times always so short It seems to fly on by Hung over in the morning and drunk at night If I could touch your hand See the smile on your face Maybe I'd have the courage to set things right
But I am killing myself slowly I'm dying all the time This poison that's inside me keeps me going I am so alone Hiding in my bottle To try and keep my loneliness From showing
A smile on my face Glazed look in my eyes Stare at the glass and take another shot There's a reflection in the bottle I see your picture on the wall Reminding me again of what I haven't got
So I keep killing myself slowly I'm dying all the time This poison that's inside me keeps me going I am so alone Hiding in my bottle To try and keep my loneliness From showing

I Can't Stand The Pain © Words and music by Calvin Stewart(2002)
Intro...............
A sad wind blows The blues my way Here's the reason why
My baby's gone My sky's are grey She told me goodby
CHORUS The girl that stole my heart away, has found somebody new I need someone to please tell me, what's a man to do I'll grab a silver needle and , I'll stick it in my vein I need a shot of something cool, before I go insane You might not understand my ways, please let me explain I can't live witout her love, I can't stand the pain
Instrumental break..........
I need her love For ever more You know that's no lie
But she just walked Right out the door Left me a lonely guy
CHORUS The girl that stole my heart away, has found somebody new I need someone to please tell me, what's a man to do I'll grab my shiny fourty four, and put one in my brain Or lie down on the cold steel tracks, and wait there for the train You might not understand my ways, please let me explain I can't live without her love, I can't stand the pain
The end is here They've dug my hole But there's no need to cry
Cause I think God Will bless my soul He knows that I tried
Cause I can't live without her love, I can't stand the pain Cause I can't live without her love, I can't stand the pain Cause I can't live without her love, I can't stand the pain Cause I can't live without her love, I can't stand the pain
Outro....

All Over You Words and Music by Kurt Chandler
Off the top of my head You're in the back of my mind I'm in the palm of your hand You're running up and down my spine When I'm flat on my back There's nothing more I can do I'm all over you, I'm all over you
Right in front of your eyes Right at the end of your nose If I'm up to your neck Or down to the tip of your toes When I'm all out of breath There's nothing more I can do I'm all over you, I'm all over you
When I'm on my last leg (Standing solo) You're at my fingertips (Nowhere to go) On the tip of my tongue (Down so low so) Or with a shake of your hips (You don't know)
The corner of my eye Then I'm up to my ears Right behind my back I'm laughing in my own tears Now you're just out of reach There's nothing more I can do I'm all over you, I'm all over you
With a nod of your head (Standing solo) With a flick of the wrist (Nowhere to go) You got me under your thumb (Down so low so) And in the clench of your fist (You don't know)
The bottom of my heart Deep inside my chest Now you're out of my hands Time to give it a rest I go out of my mind There's nothing more I can do I'm all over you, I'm all over you

Birthday Bliss Written on June 1, 2002 (my mother's birthday) by Jamie Cunningham Copyright © 2002
Today would have been her birthday Had she lived Now there's no need to celebrate No card to give
She wanted no funeral She hated anything to do with God Hypocrites they all are A false, superficial facade
She didn't pretend To be something she was not She drank and lived hard No room for tommyrot
Children-well they were things that happened In a drunken stupor Fathered by God knows who Considered just another blooper
Babies kept coming Eight in all Born to raise themselves As mommy's thoughts ran of alcohol
Drunken nights After the bar closed Wake up the kids Where anything goes
Children grew Escaped at their first chance Knowing things weren't normal Feeling like a pissant
Holidays They turned into a family brawl Blame running rampant Free to disenthrall
Finally they just stopped coming Who needs this? Dislocate from them all No sweet family bliss
Then comes the news That's she's dying Wants to see you Some sort of rectifying
Regrets For not being a better mother Drink came before Any other bother
She died in bed Weighing less than 90 pounds Forgiveness Makes the mind sound
So today would have been her birthday Do you think she would have wanted a drink? Just one for the road To celebrate

Mobster in Costume (July 2001)
You led me into a twisted world I guess I should write a book about you. But I wouldn’t know where to start.
In the park? A stolen car? Ten thousand dollars in your pocket. We had ourselves one wild first time.
The buzz of adrenaline was as addictive as the heroin you peddled. In two short days, I was hooked on you.
One crazy scheme after the next, You were nonchalant about things After all, it was ‘just business’
Mobster in costume Hollywood makes films about you
You’re infamous in Antwerpen The diamond merchants are you friend and villains. They’ll hire you out And then they’ll turn you in.
And man, you’ve got a vengeful streak. You’d even up the score with style. You could leave them quakin in their boots.
Mobster in costume Hollywood makes films about you Mobster in costume Won’t forget the day I met you
You told me more than I should know. At times, I had to flee the town for safety. The best way they could get you was through me.
You wouldn’t stop your wild ways Really couldn’t Even if you tried. There’s no escape once you’ve been inside.
Mobster in costume Hollywood makes films about you Mobster in costume Won’t regret the day I left you

BREAK OF DAY words and music by Michael Maffei, copyright 2001 by Michael Maffei and Falling Star Music, BMI
Come to me now, in a dream again. Hold on to me like you used to, when The stars were setting on the Boulevard- We were trying not to crash too hard.
Doing shots at dawn, at the Blue Dot Bar. Never wondering how we got that far. We'd welcome the day, Yet we prayed for the dark- Craving one last needle, One last spark.
Now, my cigarette was just a running light On that late flight we took every night. Those days- We were squeezing the life from a stone. Never admitting- We were too scared of going home alone.
Years went by, we all moved on. I guess I thought all the feelings were gone, Until I got that call one late summer's night- A friend said you'd either won or lost your fight...
There was so little left for me to do- Plane reservations, a card or two... You know I've never even Seen your grave- This was one thing I could not control or save,
Now, my cigarette's just a running light On this late flight that I'm on tonight. These days, I'm still squeezing the life from a stone. Never admitting- I'm too scared of going home alone.
Never admitting- I'm too scared of being alone...

I wrote this song, lyric and music, in the week before the tragic events of 9/11. Never thought it would have the meaning that it turned out to have -- a soldier in a war zone writing a letter to his wife back home...
SINCERELY YOURS © 2001 Tom Guertin, All Rights Reserved -------------------------------------------
(Verse 1) Thought I’d share my love in a letter Cheer you up, make you feel better With the stroke of a pen I’m in your heart
Wish upon a four-leaf clover My tour-of-duty will soon be over End the lonely miles keepin’ us apart
Sincerely yours
(Verse 2) Think of you in the mornin’ sunrise Dream of your magnetic blue eyes A vision of beauty etched in my mind
Day and night my thoughts will wander To the life I love to ponder With you and the kids I left behind
Sincerely yours Sincerely yours
(Bridge) Can’t wait to get back home My love, my love, my love (Back-up singers) I'm weary of the combat zone My love, my love, my love (Back-up singers) Soon I’ll be callin’ on the phone My love, my love, my love (Back-up singers) To hear your voice whisperin’, Whisperin’ (Back-up singers) To hear your voice tremblin’ Tremblin’ (Back-up singers) When knowing that I’m finally... On my way
(Verse 3) I send all my hugs and kisses To the woman I call my missus Knowin’ that you love me I will survive
I’ll seal this letter as the sunsets Now a tear’s as close as it gets To make me feel that I’m alive
Sincerely yours Sincerely yours Sincerely yours Sincerely yours

Jesus Put You Into My Life Robert H. Mahone (c) 1997
{ verse 1} I remember the first time that I saw In Heaven there is no marriage, (There’s no marriage!) Just the power of God
I was devastated, thinking that this could mean forever I’d miss The greatest pleasure that a heart could ever own.
But then it occurred to me I’ve got eternity And once the truth is revealed you will see That the greatest joy of my time on this earth Has come from loving you for all that I’m worth.
{ chorus 1} I know that Jesus put you into my life My heart is pumping so strong I could love you Forever and a day I’m no longer of this world and it’s strife I’m reconciled unto God Where love just goes on Forever and ever and more Forever .. and ever forever forever and ever and more {}
{ verse 2} Ever since the day the Lord showed you to my heart I’ve treated you as mine, yes I’m believing we will never part (We’ll be together)
There are so many people who’ve been burned before And they would rather not trouble themselves with love anymore
Undeniably I’ve known failure in my life (in my life) So I’ve been hesitant to even consider a wife
But then I fell down on my knees To the One who strengthens me (my Jesus) And I asked Him comfort you So you too will see
By the washing of the water of the word (with a brand new heart) I can love and share with you that my Jesus is Lord
{ chorus 2} Believe me Jesus put you into my life My heart is pumping so strong I could love you Forever and a day I’m no longer of this world and it’s strife I’m reconciled unto God Where love just goes on Forever and ever and (more) Love is forever (Forever) and ever (Forever) Forever and ever and more {}
{ Bridge } When scripture says put not your trust in a man It’s telling you about salvation which only Christ has to give (Jesus alone) But from the start of God’s eternal plan He made a true love relation as the way we should live
If the day never came that we married (that’s okay) I’d have done what my Lord had told me (He said to love you) For He’s certain to come and not tarry (Look up be ready) Then together we’ll step into eter-nity
One thing I know (Ahhh) Will make it through the fire (I uh) And that’s my earnest desire (I) that you know (know)
that Jesus put you into my life (I’m so happy) My heart is pumping so strong I could love you Forever and a day (Look what God has done) I’m no longer of this world and it’s strife (He’s let me love you) I’m reconciled unto God Where love just goes on Forever and ever
Jesus put you into my life (I didn’t know what to do) My heart is pumping so strong I could love you Forever and a day (Then my Jesus He gave me you) We’re no longer of this world and it’s strife (And He told me I’m supposed to love you) We’re reconciled unto God Where love just goes on Forever and ever and more (I’m gonna love you) Forever and ever and more (For my Jesus) Forever and ever and more Forever and ever, forever and ever Forever and ever, forever and ever and Love is forever (and ever) Forever Forever and ever and more
Jesus Put You Into My Life Robert H. Mahone (c) 1997

All Very Well by Simon Holden ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, Copyright 2001
They say there’s billions of stars in the sky But I only see one and I’m wondering why. They say there’s plenty more fish in the sea My only question is which one’s for me?
Sayings are all very well. Sayings don’t tell my story at all.
They say there’s nothing to worry about But try telling that one to a drowning boy scout. Statistically speaking, your chances are fine. Compared to your chances, I’d rather take mine.
Numbers are all very well. Numbers don’t tell my story at all.
They say you can find it all on the Net But a virtual sauna won’t make you sweat. They say you’re only as old as you feel But you’re too senile to know these feelings aren’t real.
It’s not lies! It’s not true! It means nothing Unless it means something to you.
They say that housewives have all these old tales, That little boys are made of puppy-dogs tails And little girls are all sweetness and light. If you ask my opinion, it’s a load of old shite!
Lyrics are all very well. Lyrics don’t tell the whole story at all.
They say that many a truth is spoken in jest And that Oscar Wilde always put it best. They say that beauty’s in the viewer’s eyes. Well, so very often it’s just a good disguise
This song is lies! This song is true! This song means nothing Unless it means something to you. It’s not lies! This is true! Words mean nothing Unless they mean something to you.

Candy On A Tray - erin gailsdaughter copyright 2001
verse 1:
Well you've gotta be kidding, You want me again? Your finger on the doorbell When you've already let your Self in. Your vaselined tooth smile, Your candy on a tray... And I am watching my Own mouth move in Disbelief as I ask You to Stay.
verse 2:
Don't you Beg I Am not Listening. Don't just Stand there A starving child! Don't you Even Try to Tame me, I was Born to Be this wild...
bridge:
We've all become so easy... Hand me a pill to please me, I've forgotten Why I tried... Sometimes it's only your face and daises, That pick me up where I'm lazy and can Bring me... To the other Side!
chorus:
Cause this monkey on my back, Keeps clinging through this shaking. And the pieces of myself Are begging to be taken Back! This one-way whispered Coversation selling Cellular sedation, I
outro:
Want to feel! I want to fee e e e e e eel.. I Want To Feel! ...Maybe I just want to feel, ...Maybe i just want to feel, Maybe I Just want To be Real...

Fixer-Upper
My poor old pickup is a long time paid for But she don’t run the way she used to do Th’guy I bought her from neglected to tell me She had been abused She’s got a lot of heart and decent tires Too bad the owner was a jerk It’s not her fault that she’s not what she used to be She just needs a little work
chorus: You’re talkin’ to me with your hungry eyes but I smell a smokin’ gun I know you’re lonely since she broke your heart, but I don’t need another one- I don’t need another fixer upper I don’t need another one
Had a lover once I gave my heart to He filled me up, he made me feel so fine Then the shadows of his past brought rain clouds Shadows of other times He couldn’t trust me and he feared my freedom He didn’t know that he was hurting me I couldn’t prove that I was not the same as The one who made the memory
Repeat first chorus
2nd chorus: Someday the sky will clear and memories leave you your heart will be your own Come and see me when the hurt’s healed over I don’t need another one- I don’t need another fixer upper I don’t need another one

TITLE: "Doorway Of My Soul" COPYRIGHT: Mary A. Lobsinger(Ali) November 2001
In the Doorway of my Soul I saw you standing there How Long had you been watching What did you come to share?
This wall around my heart now Has never been exposed You came into my life through the Doorway of my Soul through the Doorway of my soul
(chorus) The doorway of my soul the doorway of my soul The door was open Baby walk on through
I can not fight your presence I can not stop this train How long will we be riding Is the question that remains
I can not turn around now and yesterdays so far I only know that I want you Baby No Matter where you are No Matter where you are
(chorus) The doorway of my soul The doorway of my soul The door was open Baby Walk on through
Take all of me you need now And Fill your every wish For when its time to leave me Your Love is what I'll miss
I will always treasure your love I'll never be the same For I'll always feel this longing Babe At the mention of your name the mention of your name
(chorus) The doorway of my soul The doorway of my soul The door was open Baby walk on through... The door was open Baby walk on through... The door was open Baby walk on through

Again ©2002 Raymond G. Mills
I hold you in my arms again I try to read your mind again I hold this moment Like a childhood music box I watch you dance into my veins
Our hearts so young, our hearts so pure I gave you the key and you opened up the door With only candlelight I let you look inside You lit a fire I cannot hide
I hold you in my arms And I will never let you go Again
Is this passion or the rain? Both crept up on us and can wash us just the same But your words like razors cut So deep across my veins Why did it have to come to this?
I hold you in my arms And I will never let you go Again
Never let you go again Never let you go again…
I hold you in my arms And I will never let you go Again

“In Black And White” copyright '97 Katherine Sawyer Hand Wash Music/BMI
All these words that I've written seem to go nowhere They sit in piles and wrinkle No one to read them
All my fears
And aches and pains remembered in some new way As I write them out Page by page
Let them drain, trickle out through the years No one to read them
All my fears
Forget the price they may bring With some new light shed Never to illuminate As if the language could recreate The things I feel
All these words go by me Never enter me Always leaving me more alone Exploring me
All my fears
Never heard Deafening Endless suffering
All my fears
I give to you I want you to know them too
All my fears
Take them from me and hold me Near
Forget the price they may bring With some new light shed Never to illuminate As if the language could recreate The things I write
All these words define me Explain away my life There in black and white Filling all the lines
All my fears

BABY DON'T GIVE UP ON ME © 2001 moses hauffen
You lay my clothes outside the door I guess I know what you're intendin'
An' I stand frozen I can't speak All I wanna' do is disappear
Then I tremble like a winter leaf Waitin' for the final chillin' breeze
To tear me from your tree Baby don't give up on me Baby don't give up on me
We were too young I will admit Being married's harder than pretendin'
An' I'm forgetful about you So you ask yourself why keep me here
Then I crumble like an Oreo All dunked out with no where else to go
It's silly yeah I know So baby don't give up on me Baby don't give up on me
Baby don't give up on me please believe I never meant to hurt you Lovin' you has been the only thing I've tried to do right So baby don't give up on me Baby don't give up on me please believe I never would desert you Lovin' you has been what gets me through this life So baby don't give up on me
Your mama say's I'm a good man That only needs some understandin'
But when's the last time you recall That we understood 'bout anything
So I'm pleadin' for my life with you Be my judge be my jury too
Be the sentence that I need But baby don't give up on me
Baby don't give up on me Baby don't give up on me Baby don't give up on me

Happy by Jen Tobey c 2002
And my mind's turning to stone Where has my body gone? Lie as you've done to me And let my body greive
What it takes to make me happy? It's unlike anything you've seen! And I can't stand to be exactly What you want me to be 'Cause I'm already torn
Bruises fit the lives they leave Colored by the jaded lives we lead You can't do much to take it back The past is already gone away
What it takes to make me happy? It's unlike anything you've seen! And I can't stand to be exactly What you want me to be And I just want to be me 'Cause I'm already torn

author: robbin thompson copyright: 2002 title: ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE BLUES
you do everything to mak'em go away but you know in the end there's nothin' you can do. they tell you that it's part of lifes price you pay so you try not to let'm get the best of you. buildin' walls behind you, hopin' that they won't find you but you know when they do you're gonna let'em walk on thru so, you're tryin to stay... one step ahead of the blues.
there ain't nobody that's immune. though i've seen a lot of people hide it all inside. but when they're alone it's a different tune, tears tumble down like a landslide. 'cause when they've finally found you, the walls crumble down around you, you're hopin' that it's wrong, but you know it's true... your just tryin to stay... one step ahead of the blues. tryin to win in a game, your bound to loose. you tried every trick in the book, you knew how to use, there just ain't no way you can stay... one step ahead of the blues.
...buildin' walls behind you, hopin that they won't find you, cause you know when they do you're gonna let'em just walk on thru... so you're tryin to stay... one step ahead of the blues. tryin to win in a game, that your bound to loose. you've tried every trick in the book, you knew how to use, but there ain't no way you can stay a step ahead of the blues. you keep tryin to stay... one step ahead of the blues.

TISSUE PAPER FLOWERS Mollie Baxter (c) 2001
Tissue paper flowers arranged in my window On my hands I had a few spare hours So I made a summer in a day This morning it was raining But now the sun is shining And there’s no work tomorrow and so Everything’s ok
Chorus: Dung dung dung dayoh godayoh Day lay lay dung a dayoh Umbum bum dikada dum Umbum bum dikada dum Dung dung dung dayoh godayoh Day lay lay dung a dayoh Bum bum dikada dum
I have a friend called Lazy She lives in the room above Sometimes I hear her singing When she thinks nobody else is home She has her hair in beads and braids When she walks sometimes it sounds like rain We keep meaning to do my hair that way But we never get round to it
Chorus
Sometimes I go to Samuel’s Buy a coffee and sit for an hour or two Writing things as the people pass outside Something Lazy says she could never do She says I’m self-contented I try to tell her I’m just bad tempered And not used to this people-thing just yet There’s far too much catching up to do
Chorus into Bridge:
Throw your window open wide See pavements grow slick with caught sunlight If you stand just so you can see right through Breathe it in and fall into the blue
Lazy’s sister Katy is counting her footsteps On the pavement below She’s been finding the price of things too high Leaves a trail of sand wherever she goes She says she’s wasting time The grains are falling fast in the hourglass in her mind I’m not sure if she really needs to find A man to turn it for her
Chorus

The lyric: A GIFT
Here I have a gift I'm giving you my heart My heart's my gift for you I want to see it through All I want to do is give
With this gift to you You must hold it true For if not I'll be blue Which then will show you My heart's not for you.
A gift so true A gift pure without blue I give my heart to you My heart's my gift for you
Therefore deep within I hope you don't pretend But take this gift (my heart) My heart's mt gift to you All I want to do is give
I have a gift for you All I want to do So take my heart A gift
So take my heart A gift so true My gift to you....

This Lyric is: #130 IN A LIFE by Steve Goldberger From my new album, GUMBO DREAMS. To hear a clip of this song: www.stevegoldberger.com --------------------------------------------- In A Life (S. Goldberger) In a life there's hope and dreams of love and wishes made of gold But as years go by reality sinks in And takes its bitter hold and stays until you're old. In a life we live and dream of a peace that can't be bought and sold But the fear and hate that has lived forever Will always be our ball and chain as we cause each other such pain In a life, the moments just speed by In a life, they're gone in the blink of an eye In a life you hope to have good friends who'll be there when you cry Oh but when your world comes crashing down, And you thought that they would be around, They always let you down. In a life, the road you take is your own In a life, sometimes you gotta go it alone In a life, the time goes by so fast In a life, gotta make the good times last In a life we have a power to heal and help our fellow man But we sit around crying 'why why me?" When we could be out there lending a hand - And doing the best that - -- could be out there taking a stand - -- could be out there leading the band And doing the best that we can. Steve: bass, acoustic guitar, kalimba, synthesizer, lead and background vocals Eric Mahar: guitar / David Norris: drums Penner MacKay: djembe, triangle, shaker Conrad Kipping: mandolins / Jan Hanko: fiddle / Mark Lalama: piano Rob Wilikinson: tin whistle /Jane Johanson & Jenny L.

Copyright 1999 Bruce Madole
Paris in the Spring
Paris was a girl of most particular delights she liked her lipstick shiny and she loved her dresses tight and in the evening she would stroll along the boulevard she loved the way men smiled at her when she wasn't even trying hard and she wrote her letters home and laughed and signed them always Paris in the Spring
Paris said the world is made of stories, line by line and some of us are fairy tales and some of us are lies and we invent ourselves by merely daring to have dreams though someone else would do that for us even while we sleep and she wrote her letters home and laughed and signed them always Paris in the Spring
And Paris she was beautiful as spring leaves in the rain when the branches stand out black and wet against the bursting green and we will never see the like of Paris here again here along these mean and gritty streets, oh, these lonely, lonely streets
Paris filled our glasses then she said, I have to go like a strange exotic butterfly that fluttered through my window we used to drink our wine here in this café, don't you know I imagine that I'll sit here every night till I grow old but she left me with a letter, signed it Love, always Paris in the Spring.

"Thousand Years" words & music by Jim Quinlivan (c) 2001 Room 908 Music/BMI
Standing at the crossroads Of another place and time Flashing back and moving on And walking down the line The years are just like numbers Counting down inside my mind These days are like no others There is nowhere left to hide
These are millennium days If ever there was time for change ...Make it now
And either way the wind blows It's hard to know where you'll land The twenty-first century shadow Of a twentieth century man And dreams you've held your whole life long Can slip right through your hands So I am holding fast and strong With all the power of my prayers
Through these millennium days If ever there was time to change ...Take it now
Yes, these are days for holding on Times may change but time goes on And we go on...
Through these millennium days If ever there was time for change ...It's now Oh, these are millennium days Nothing can remain the same If ever there was time to change...
It's midnight, Cinderella But it's not your last chance Here's another thousand years To find some happiness Find some happiness Find some happiness...

Brandon Moved Away By Judy Domeny Bowen Copyright 1999
Tommy raced in with a shout, "Mrs. Bowen!" he called out, "Did you know Brandon moved away?" Tommy ran off to his seat as my heart fell to my feet Because Brandon moved away. It wasn't that I'd miss him, oh, no quite the opposite, He was trouble every minute of the day. But as hard as he would fight me I would try that hard and more, Now I don't know where he is and I just pray
Chorus Brandon, wherever you are I hope you're warm and safe as you can be, I pray someone will have heart enough To see that you are not so tough As you would like the world to believe, I wish you love within a family.
"Teacher," asked young Tommy, "did he get to say good-bye Before Brandon moved away? Did you know he's got a new school and a brand new family, Though he don't know how long with them he'll stay. Hey look--he left his schoolbox in his desk, do you suppose That I could have it? There's not very much inside. Just a few old broken crayons and a Valentine from you...." And with that I couldn't help but start to cry
Chorus
I turned to see his drawing on the wall behind my desk, A tiny person, scribbled out in black. Just a kindergarten kid with no one to call his own, It hurts that Brandon won't be back. Abandoned by his mother when the boy was only two, Where his father is we simply do not know. Moving 'round in foster care, throwing tantrums, throwing chairs, Lord, I wonder where in life that boy will go
Chorus
Brandon, you'll always be loved by me.

"Sea of Spirits" c 2002 Royce Miller
Today I heard you went away On the sea of spirits Through the screen I looked upon A vast expanse of green It rolls on forever, like eternity I could feel your spirit on the sea
Today I saw you drift from me On the sea of spirits Through my tears I spotted you Moving to the shore It was not as far away as I once imagined I saw you go through a bright pearl door
Then peace embraced my soul As I looked on the sea of spirits There you stood and looked at me From the other side We are separated by this ocean for awhile But I called out your name and saw you smile.

"The Driving Song" -by Maggie Daly (of Jackson Daly)
What's your driving song what pumps you up which broken-hearted, sad song really rips you up What do you like to hear, wind blowing through your hair smoke blowing back at you ashes, too, but you don't care
What is it that crosses your mind when nothing more than you and time are hanging out, side by side by side...
What's your living song what jams you out what funky, feel-good, strong tune really kicks it out What do you like to see, what makes you tick what long-lost, ancient memory hits you like a brick
What is it that crosses your mind when nothing more than you and time are hanging out, side by side by side...
They say it's a 'guy thing' a man and his car I guess my masculinity, well, it takes me pretty far This is my music, it's written in gold pouring out my molten soul along the road we toll
What is it that crosses your mind when nothing more than you and time are hanging out, side by side by side...

Thrift Store T-Shirt (c) 2002 by Lee Simmons
I had a dream About a suit size 13 A vintage all-weather With corinthian leather A lavender piece of work Made me look like a jerk Jonesin' like some fool Missed the bus to the old school So I set out this morning With very little warning And a vision of grandeur For a new look de rigeur I found the answer A little trendy enhancer In a throwaway bin That delivered me from sin
Some say a man without style Is a man full of hurt But I feel no pain in my Snappy new thrift store t-shirt
Well I'm not opposed To expensive new clothes But my shirt exceeds All others in deeds With its vintage silk screen print On aqua marine tint I'm a rebel with panache In my cold machine wash
Some say a man can't survive On only dessert But I take the cake in my Sassy new thrift store t-shirt
And I'm wearing it well Out from my Tommy Boy shell Everyone is ditching the cat walk And living to tell
Well some tell the future By learning the past The mistakes that were made The successes that last Like Klein and Armani Chanel, Rebagliati Donatella and Gianni And the Family Versace All bellwethers to be sure Of the new haute couture To each his own forte In the old pret-a-porte
If the clothes make the man Then I'm better off wearing a skirt But I found religion in my Brand new thrift store t-shirt

This Lyric is: #138 ALL I WANT NOW (c) 20002 Margaret MacDonald V1: Red bougainvillea grows Out by the garden wall Goes well with weeds and rust Sun fades the photographs And bakes the dusty road Where we once played our games CH: I didn't wait around To see how you turned out But you're all I want now V2: We sang Amazing Grace Just like a gospel choir I dressed up as a bride We had a hiding place Up in the old elm tree We planned our great escape I didn't wait around To see how you turned out But you're all I want now BR: And my heart never left here, just went for the ride And I didn't really think I'd miss you Look how long it took me just to realize That I really need to be back here with you V3: House needs a lick of paint And a bit of window glass And fresh new curtains too You know I'm not a saint And I don't have an alibi For all those years away I didn't wait around To see how you turned out But you're all I want now You're all I want now <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Brian Austin Whitney: Hi Folks,

The Wisdom Of A Child c. 2002 by Lisa Lukas
Verse 1:
The minute you were born, I belonged to you, My child and my new teacher Your arms outstretched, Flapping like a baby crow.
They laid you down Inside my arms and I could Hear you softly whisper Your new born voice Gave me all I need to know, 'cause
CHORUS:
The wisdom of a child Sees better than I The heart is big as the sky How to let this life just be, and then Like a blade of grass That bends in the wind Going up and down and up again, With a spirit that is free and wild I learned how to love -- From the wisdom of a child.
Verse 2:
How could I have ever known That you would leave This earth before me? Now I am lost, & Searching for you everywhere
A bird is flying high Up in the air The waves crash down below me Is that a sign from you? Are you still here? -- 'cause
CHORUS:
The wisdom of a child Is hiding from me & I can no longer see Will you cradle me to end this pain 'Cause my heart won't heal Til I find you again Now my sorrow is the winter rain & your silence is so deep and wild That I will go mad Without the wisdom of a child.
BRIDGE:
Whisper to me Inside my dreams I will be listening to all that you say -- You are the wind That blows through the trees & I will be waiting to meet you someday -- 'cause
CHORUS:
The wisdom of a child Understands more than me To look beyond what I see How to find your beauty in a stone With the endless sea, I will not be alone And I know your memory is my home Like a spirit that is free and wild Teach me how to live on From the wisdom of a child.

"Breathing Underwater"
I found you on your island warm and dry You never waded in over waist high But my home is far from shore and the current runs strong and I cannot stay in shallow water for long
I’m breathing underwater I’m not fighting for air I may drown in the deep but I don’t care cuz I love you and you love me but I cannot make you swim with me
My skin is glistening listening to you lie beside me on terra firma explaining why For a few precious moments I felt alive and I don’t know how but I know I’ll survive
I’m breathing underwater I’m not fighting for air I may drown in the deep but I don’t care cuz I love you and you love me but I cannot make you swim with me, swimming in the deep
I know it’s safer in the water you tread but I’d rather dive in over my head
cuz I’m breathing underwater

This Lyric is: #141 "Dear God" Verse: Dear God, are You listening? Dear God, are You there? I’ve been wondering lately, what You might have to say About all the struggles and pain. Is it fair? Verse: Dear God, can You hear me? Dear God, are You really what You say? Creator of the universe, Maker of all things I just don’t seem to understand. Help me to understand, Understand Your way. Verse Dear God, can You help me? Dear God, sometimes my doubt just takes control. Blessed are those that believe, but have not seen. Lord, can You show me? Is there any in between? I mean no dishonor, But I’m blind by what I see, Dear God. Bridge: I am just a man who seeks Your heart. Searching as my world falls apart. Hoping for a chance to see Your face. I’m astounded by Your gift of grace. Verse: Dear God, do You love me? Dear God, why do You even care? When I just ignore You, don’t have the time to spare. I hope You’ll forgive me, when I come to see You there. I pray You’ll forgive me, Your love’s beyond compare. Dear God. I pray You’ll forgive me, when I come to see You there. © Copyright 2002 Fred Said Productions ASCAP 7206 Carrie Drive Indianapolis, IN 46237 (317) 887-2046 Email: synthkbd@hotmail.com Words & Music By Frank D.

DAZE LIKE THIS (Bruce Irving)
Walked out the door again with my shoes on the wrong feet Tried to find my car but it was parked on another street In the few days since I met you, girl It's like I'm living on a tilt-a-whirl Goin' up the down escalator It's my new infatuator - puts me in a
chorus DAZE LIKE THIS Like a wakin' dream I'm walkin' around in a DAZE LIKE THIS After just one kiss I knew I'd be happy to live The rest of my DAYS LIKE THIS
The first time you smiled at me I was too tongue-tied to speak And all that night I tossed and turned, it was impossible to sleep I can't do much but think of you But that's all that I want to do You've got to be the best thing ever And I never want to stop - living in a CHORUS

TALKIN’ LIKE AN ANGEL Music by Beth Thornley and Rob Cairns Lyrics by Beth Thornley copyright Stiff Hips Music, 2001
V1: Talkin’ like an angel while I left you there to dangle. I was talkin’ like an angel, so devine. Spinning pretty, spinning fine, wings and fingers intertwine. And I was talkin’ like an angel while I left you there to dangle.
V2: You were more intriguing ‘cause I knew that I’d be leaving. Timing always has been everything. But I can’t remember when I didn’t ache from end to end and you’re a sweet relief, however brief, you suspend your disbelief.
Chorus: Talkin’ like, talkin’ like, talkin’ like an angel. Talkin’ like, talkin’ like, talkin’ like an angel. V3: Never one for rumours I’ll just say I never knew you. Redemption comes in every size and style. And it’s better if forever lasts for just a little while and there’s no guarantees or quick remedies for most of these miles
Bridge: And this isn’t gonna hurt a bit, after all it helps when I close my eyes. And everything is gonna be alright, after all an angel never lies. (to chorus)

"Desire" Vicki Forman (c)2002
(V1) Why do I yearn for love I never had? Why do I travel on this dead-end path? Why do I flirt with untouchable affection? History of doing nothing has become the affliction
(V2) Why am I haunted by your silence dance? Why does your ghost hold a spellbound trance? You’re the smiling moon behind stormy clouds He's amused at this coyote’s lonely howl.
(Chorus) My desire is like a tidal wave When you’re here, I get swept away When you’re gone, I’m a grain of sand Passing through the fingers of your hand
(V3) Why does my heart long for you to care? Why do my eyes read more than what is there? How does a desire so dangerously wired? Become a moth to flame, burning with foolish desire.
(Chorus) My desire is like a tidal wave When you’re here, I get swept away When you’re gone, I’m a grain of sand Passing through the fingers of your hand

Jugs
Copyright 2001 Mark McAvoy Lyrics and Music by Mark McAvoy
Woke early this afternoon Once again missed the sun rise Up late practicing the Scallion Shuffle And my broken legs feel not right
Had a dream to be a Dillionaire Because country flows in my veins Got my sideburns low and a big belt buckle Bubba stomp hard bring me pain
All I know is what I was taught From Momma and her cane Can still smell the whiskey on her breath As she screamed, "I'm to blame" When darkness shines and the nightmares come, I cry Still feel the pain
Chorus ------ Yet I still believe an angel prays for me She's beautiful and she's free And makes me feel so easy Yet I still believe an angel prays for me She's beautiful and she's free And makes me feel so easy
Been playing in this jug band For nearly ten years now Been thinking it's time to call it quits But then I'd let Huff down
The old crow, he's so ornery Got a cough to match his temper Asks,"What's up you mad again?" No, you just make me miserable
Momma always said I was a sensitive lad A caning do me good Left me a million miles away But she never understood When darkness shines and my little star comes, I cry Yes, she's still true
Chorus
Still see Momma at Christmas Too frail to hit me now Always bring her a carton of smokes Says I done her proud
Asks, "What's up with you jugheads? You boys about ready for the road?" Tell her we lack direction Got nowhere to go
Momma gets mad, "Just wasting time. That crow, he's got no soul. Shiftless and lazy just like your daddy. The devil calls him his own." Yet from her window my little star shines, I cry She's still true
Chorus

I wrote this simple song on September 20, 2002, for my children and for hope: copyright, 2002, Sherrie T. Lyons
WE WILL SURVIVE
THE DAY THAT JESUS CRIED THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED WILL NEVER BE THE SAME I AM A LUCKY ONE I RUSHED HOME TO MY SON AND HUGGED HIM CLOSE ALL DAY
AND HELD MY DAUGHTER'S HAND SHE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE HORROR IN MY EYES BUT ALL THAT I COULD DO WAS TELL HER, "WE'LL GET THROUGH" I KNOW THAT WE'LL SURVIVE.
(chorus): WE WILL SURVIVE WE WILL GET THROUGH SOME WAY WE WILL SURVIVE ALITTLE BIT MORE EACH DAY......
SURROUNDED BY THE PAIN AND HELPLESS TO EXPLAIN THE LOSS OF ALL OUR LIVES WE CANNOT LIVE IN FEAR OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE I KNOW THAT WE'LL SURVIVE
SO PAUSE AND SAY A PRAYER FOR ALL THE HEROES HERE WHOM GOD HAS WELCOMED HOME FOR I AM PROUD TO SAY I'M FROM THE U. S. A. AMERICA'S MY HOME!!!!!
(repeat chorus on out).
Thank you for reading and sharing, Sher

If I Had Known Words and Music by Susan R. Jones c.1997. Susan R. Jones
(Verse 1) If I had known of all the joy I'd see, The delights this life would bring; If I had known of pending dreams come true, From which moments they would spring; I'd have raced to those days throwing precious time away Along with little gifts designed for me alone.
(Verse 2) If I had known about those lessons learned From my failures and my fears; If I had known about those darker days With the brokeness and tears; I'd have stood still in time, turned my back on what was mine And in my bitterness, resigned to stand alone If I had known.
(Bridge) If I had known of my own destiny I'd have followed my own plans. And, Lord, You know So You give in grace each time and place and Looking back I understand.
(Verse 3) If I had known about the mountain peaks I'd have never sniffed the rose. If I had known about the valley steeps I'd have never learned to grow. So, from anguish to bliss, Lord, I'm thankful for what is. You see, it's all that I'd have missed out on my own If I had known.
If I had known.

Window To Your World (c)2001 Lyric by Pam Hurley
This lyric is dedicated to my Grandmother who had Alzheimers.
Verse 1: I wonder where you are Wish I had a better view What’s heartbreaking for me I pray is easier on you Lord knows I’ve tried to break the glass But I still don’t have a clue Can’t seem to shatter through the pane No matter what I try to do
Chorus: I hope the window to your world reflects a warm and happy place Not a struggle day to day in an unforgiving race Well, I won’t stop the search however long it takes Until we open up the window to your world
Verse 2: What is in your heart As your days are fading by What are you thinking of When the tears fall from your eyes If you could find the words Would you be telling me That you continue holding on To all your cherished memories
Chorus: I hope the window to your world reflects a warm and happy place Not a struggle day to day in an unforgiving race Well I won’t stop the search however long it takes Until we open up the window to your world
Bridge: Give me a sign Just a hint so I can find A path to help you bridge the miles I know someday, somehow, someway I’ll look up to see you smile –again-Ooo
Chorus: I hope the window to your world reflects a warm and happy place Not a struggle day to day in an unforgiving race Well, I won’t stop the search however long it takes Until we open up the window to your world Until we open up the window to your world Until we open up the window to your world

Tear it Out
Verse 1: I walk beneath the streetlights casting thoughts of you against the dark – just an endless shadow asking why you chose to break my heart. Love is just the North Star glowing out of reach, but still in sight. A tiny pin of hope that’s poking holes into the dark of night.
Chorus: Sometimes I wonder where the love’s all gone I can’t seem to find any for my own. Sometimes I wonder what this heart’s about. I think I’d feel better if I tear it out. Tear it out. Tear it out.
Verse 2: I dialed the number she gave me. I'd scribbled it upon my mind – the code to a green-eyed fantasy, I doodled ‘til my ink ran dry. The lady on the phone was real nice, she said, "call back any time at all". Jenny hasn't lived here for years but, I still enjoy the calls.
Chorus: Sometimes I wonder where the love’s all gone– I can’t seem to find any for my own. Sometimes I wonder what this heart’s about. I think I’d feel better if I tear it out. Tear it out. Tear it out.
Bridge: I can't blame Lisa and I can't blame Sue. It's not their fault I'm feeling blue. My heart’s not broken ‘cause of what they did. It's because of what happened inside my head. I know it's trouble when my mind selects only the things my heart projects. By now I ought to know the warning signs, but a desp’rit heart controls my mind.
Chorus: Sometimes I wonder where the love’s all gone– I can’t seem to find any for my own. Sometimes I wonder what this heart’s about. I think I’d feel better if I tear it out. Tear it out. Tear it out.
Tag: I walk beneath the streetlights casting thoughts of you against the dark – just an endless shadow asking why you chose to break my heart.
