"How I'll Say Good-bye"
1st verse I wish I'd never listened Conversation overheard Nothing left for me to say After those soft-spoken words Heard you whisper" I love you" "I can't wait until tonight" I'll make it easy for you This is how I'll say good-bye
chorus I'll put roses on your pillow Then I'll turn down the lights Pull the drapes; put on some music Get some ice to chill the wine Lay out your fancy negligee You know, you sure look good in white I'll leave my keys and broken heart This is how I'll say good-bye
2nd verse Most men would stay and argue I can see you've made up your mind I want you to be happy Even if I'm left behind Until I heard you talking I had told my heart a lie There's no need to stay here now This is how I'll say good-bye
chorus I'll put roses on the pillow Then I'll turn down the lights Pull the drapes; put on some music Get some ice to chill the wine Lay out your fancy negligee You know, you sure look good in white I'll leave my keys and broken heart This is how I'll say good-bye
bridge Today while you are working I'll pack memories and cry You'll be surprised when you see This is how I'll say good-bye
music softens I'll leave my keys and broken heart this is how I'll say good-bye

Glad To Meet Me Steve Pierce 2006
Thought I'd take some time to talk to you Tell you all the things that I've been through Took a down turn on the day you left Spent most my nights drunk and depressed Had bout reached the short end of my rope Lost my will didn't think I could cope Then I met some guys who took me in Helped put my life back on track again
My life had become so hollow From the years spent in the bottle Since losing you Then some friends helped me along showed me I was stronger Than the booze In the mirror my old smile Where so long a drunkards scowl, had been, And I'm so glad to meet me again
Took a drive down that old country road Where you and I always loved to go Stopped a while down by the creek Took off my shoes waded in bare feet Went for a walk up through the woods Been way too long since I felt this good Of course I don't really need to tell you From up there You've got the greatest view
My life had become so hollow From the years spent in the bottle Since losing you Then some friends helped me along Showed me I was stronger than the booze In the mirror my old smile Where so long a druckards scowl, had been, And I'm so glad to meet me again
I awake and face each day with great pride Now that I'm living, not just alive
My life had become so hollow From the years spent in the bottle Since losing you Then some friends helped me along Showed me I was stronger Than the booze In the mirror my old smile where so long a drunkards scowl, had been, And I'm so glad to meet me again

Beltane Night
Lael Whitehead Copyright Socan 2005
Moon rise and star fall Fire burn and night wind call Drum beat the wild song That heart sings at summers dawn
Sown are the new fields With bright seed of harvests yield Far down the roots bind The hearts joy to summers time
Leave the fire and come with me Well lie beneath the flowering tree And feel the breathing of the earth Rise and fall The green time sings its song again To wake the hill, to wake the glen And raise in every living thing An answering call
Leap oer the May fire Hold close your sweet desire For lifes wheel will grant soon The hearts wish for summers bloom
Green shoot and pale flower Garland the Beltane bower Circle with joined hands For heart shines with summers dance
Leave the fire and come with me Well walk beside the dreaming sea Following the fading stars As the new day dawns Well try to catch time in our hands To hold the wave against the sand And watch this glow upon the land That soon will be gone
So drum beat and flute sound Once more well circle round For the world turns and the wheel spins And all ends that once begins
This green hour, the heart knows, Is brief as the budding rose Though wheel turn and bloom fade The heart sings the birth of May

~*~Gods Loving Angels~*~
Copyright 2006 APRA Shannon Leigh Rogers All Rights Reserved!
V1) Let me paint a picture A sad filled starry night Back in the mid summer When I saw a shining light While crying in the backyard With news grandma passed away The tears froze right on my cheek When I heard voices say
Ch) We are gods loving angels With a message filled with love From a lady that you treasured Your grandma up above She says please dont be sad For this is not good-bye God has sent his angels Til we meet up in the sky
V2) It gave me the closure, That night I got the call To know she was at peace Up in heaven after all As god has chosen wisely For this I do commend And I would like to thank him For these angels that he sent
Repeat Ch)
Br) One thing I learned that night Is grandma was right When you feel a little blue Gods angels can comfort you
Repeat Ch)

Perhaps, my dear
Copyright 2005 by Kennan Zishka
Its a cold day outside Rain on the brink of snow It seems Ive lost my way To everything I know
Perhaps with another year Ill forget about the time, my dear All of the days All of the ways That our laughter disappeared
Walking now for hours My feet are cold and wet Neon signs along the way Seem to spell out my regret
Perhaps with another tear Ill forget about the hurt, my dear All of the pain All of the rain On days that should have been clear
A place Ive got to find somewhere To drown my sorrow Ill stay there As long as it takes The clouds to leave tomorrow
Its a cold day outside Rain on the brink of snow All the faces are strangers Theres no one that I know
Perhaps with another beer Ill forget all about you, my dear All of your charms There in your arms Right now I wish were here

Country Song (Female Vocal) "You Better Love My Mama and My Dog" Copyright(c)2006 Lynn R. Orloff
Mama has been with me from the time that I was born, She stood beside me through the thick and thin, Daddy died when I was young, it broke her heart and mine, But mama's love was strong and didn't end.
Whenever I was feelin' down, she knew just what to do, One day she said she had a big surprise, She'd found a mongrel runaway and laid him on my lap, I melted when I saw his big brown eyes.
1st Chorus Oh you better love my mama and my dog, If your intentions are to make this house your home, It's not just one, but three of us, So go ahead and make a fuss, But you better love my mama and my dog!
It ain't so bad since mama likes to do the cookin', And my dog, he eats and sleeps and guards the house, Their address has to be the same, if we're to share a same last name, There's room for four of us on my old parlor couch.
Well my mama's gettin' older that's for certain, And the whiskers on my dog have turned to gray, You can come and try to flatter me with flirtin', But my mama and my dog are here to stay.
2nd Chrous Oh you better love my mama and my dog, And that's a given if you want to settle down, It doesn't matter how you feel, You see we're all a package deal, So you just better love my mama and my dog!

You 2006 words by Calvin Stewart/music by Kaley Willow
I sit alone Carry the torch for you So sad when Good love is through
The sun still shines But, my world is turning black I'LL wait but, you Won't be coming back CHORUS I just lost it all The sweet part of every day Our reflection in the mirror The loving things we used to say Only thing that made me smile And made me think life's worthwhile Was you....................... Oh girl....it was you Winds of Change Have called out your name Offered you A brand new game
A lover who Could be there full time I hope his love Is as strong as mine CHORUS I just lost it all The sweet part of every day Our reflection in the mirror The loving things we used to say Only thing that made me smile And made me think life's worthwhile Was you Oh girl....it was you Bridge I couldn't expect you to wait for me That's no way...for a heart....to be CHORUS I just lost it all The sweet part of every day Our reflection in the mirror The loving things we used to say Only thing that made me smile And made me think life's worthwhile Was you Oh girl....it was you

Remember Me 2006 Bill Robinson
Verse Im sitting on the roadside by this cross on the Oak tree Wondering if in your afterlife you remember me Oh! I wish I could have been there to hold your hand When you left this earth to enter into the Promised Land
Chorus Oh! The days are so lonely and the nights are so long I cant stand livin since you been gone Darlin I miss your touch, the good times and the bad How we stuck together when love was all we had Oh-oh! Will you remember, will you remember me
Verse I went to your gravesite and fell down on my knees Prayed to God in heaven you would remember me When my life is over and I leave to follow you I hope youll be there waiting at the gate to lead me through
Instrumental lead into bridge
Bridge I could stand this livin if only I could only see You waiting there in heaven, waiting there for me Each time I feel a gentle breeze touch upon my cheek I wonder if youre whispering, you remember me
Chorus Oh! The days are so lonely and the nights are so long I cant stand livin since you been gone Darlin I miss your touch, the good times and the bad How we stuck together when love was all we had Oh-oh! Will you remember, will you remember me

Dead Will Dance Copyright Moira Nelson, 2006.
The scent of magic lies heavy in the air Dark is the moon, but fires burn everywhere And sparks drift through the blackened sky And shouts ring out and night birds cry.
For the old years done, and a new one just begun And the Dead Will Dance, Oh the Dead Will Dance Yes the Dead Will Dance tonight.
Wandering wraiths among the shadows creep Sighs and whispers steal the hours of sleep And ancient witches cast their spells Amidst the tolling of the bells.
For the old years done, and a new one just begun And the Dead Will Dance, Oh the Dead Will Dance Yes the Dead Will Dance tonight.
A dance macabre, a dance of solitude, A dance of pain, a dance of joy, A dance of heaven or a dance of hell, Whichever serves you well, For the Dead Will Dance tonight.
The mournful wind his weary song repeats An eerie tale of trials and conceits While pious souls their prayers have said And sinners bow their heads in dread.
For the old years done, and a new one just begun And the Dead Will Dance, Oh the Dead Will Dance Yes the Dead Will Dance tonight.

"So Wrong"
Gonna leave me so hard It wont matter where I land Any ground that finds me Is a good enough place to stand Got another name I go by When Im feeling down And tonight everyone seems To be calling my name out
Chorus: Ive been so wrong Ive been so wrong Ive been so wrong For so long
Your life before me Always sounded a little better I wonder what youll make of me In a little later Memories have a funny way Of going down And only leaving The sweetness in your mouth
(Chorus)
Try to keep it simple Try to keep it clean Try to keep it separate So I can find some place between
(Chorus)
But tonight dont let me down I have stumbled through myself And I have hurt you going down Despite all these troubles now Just might find a better time Will start coming round
I gave away more of me Than I could stand to lose I figured that everyway Was the only way to love you But no I wouldnt change a thing Even if I could I still love you like the first day I always said I would
(Chorus)
2006, Rana

When the War is Won (written by Erik Balkey & Pat Wictor) Our father sent his only son to come forth in his name A messenger for peace and love is a soldier just the same A soldier for love, a soldier alone with a call not all will heed And he would pay the price in blood the burden of those in need
(chorus) When the war is won In the memory of Take the hands of your daughters and sons And fill their hearts with love
1955 the call rang out from the front of a crosstown bus To stand up for a simple dream she sat for all of us From a Birmingham jail, he would endure 'til the trumpets of freedom sound And he would pay the price in blood til justice like water rolls down (chorus) When the war is won In the memory of Take the hands of your daughters and sons And fill their hearts with love
My son prayed and followed his heart in March he went to war And I received that fateful call Palm Sunday, April 4 36 years to the day since shots from a Memphis gun And I would pay the price in blood so others won't lose their sons
(chorus) When the war is won In the memory of Take the hands of your daughters and sons And fill their hearts with love

There Goes the Neighborhood
This was our land for fifteen thousand years. No Spanish or English, we kept our ancient ways. Then they came with guns and horses, blankets, beads, and beer, Singing God Save the King and Amazing Grace.
Gold was jewelry, now its the soul of greed. We used to share the land, now its privatized. The animals were our brothers, now theyre commodities, And we cannot bear to look in our neighbors eyes.
Chorus: We cannot speak our native tongue, We cannot hear each others hearts, We fear the stranger, hes up to no good, There goes the neighborhood.
Did we fingerprint the Pilgrims and Billy Penn? Did we ask Columbus for papers when he came? Refugees dont need a jail, they simply need a friend. Has money finally driven the world insane? (Chorus)
Their sacred border used to start in Oregon, Tejas, California, it was all Mexican land. They built their malls and freeways on the altars of Aztlan, And they guard it now with vigilante bands. (Chorus)
Will these factories roar when we are in the streets? Who will work the orchards, the restaurants, the trucks? We are just as American as the ground beneath our feet. We didnt cross the border, it crossed us. (Chorus)

COME HOME SOLDIER by Karen Davis 2006 Karen J Davis - BMI
V1 You're feeling so excited yet you're weary to the bone Many hours you'll be flying just to find your way back home. You've given all that you can give, grown accustomed to the pain Of losing friends and taking lives so that freedom will remain.
V2 Not long ago I weakened when the planes flew in from hell Took the lives of many people, you know I stumbled and I fell. Then you held me up with muscle built with patriotic blood And an angered soul that's driven by the force of God above.
CHORUS COME HOME SOLDIER, TAKE ME BY THE HAND DIP YOUR HEAD TO TASTE MY WATERS, DIG YOUR TOES INTO MY SAND. COME HOME SOLDIER, FEEL MY SUNSHINE, HEAR ME SING YOU'VE PROTECTED ME, YOUR HOMELAND LET MY FREEDOM RING LET FREEDOM RING.
V3 Your daddy's arms are opened and your momma starts to cry When they see you stepping off the plane after many months gone by. Every body passing by all seem to stop and stare At the way you hold your head up high And the ribbons that you wear.
CHORUS COME HOME SOLDIER, TAKE ME BY THE HAND DIP YOUR HEAD TO TASTE MY WATERS, DIG YOUR TOES INTO MY SAND. COME HOME SOLDIER, FEEL MY SUNSHINE, HEAR ME SING YOU'VE PROTECTED ME, YOUR HOMELAND LET MY FREEDOM RING LET FREEDOM RING.
Outro (to fade): COME HOME SOLDIER, RING RING COME HOME SOLDIER

I Feel The Heat by Don Wood 2006 All Rights Reserved, BMI Music
Girl, when your up close and personal with me My whole temperature rises a few degrees And the heat from your body collides with the heat from mine Well my eyes start to blur and my heart skips a beat Then I lose track of time and feel light on my feet When you're lying with me girl you know how to make me feel fine
I feel the heat ... from your body I feel the heat ... from your touch I never knew just what I was missing I never loved anybody this much I feel the heat ...
Now I'm walking around with a school-boyish crush And my friends wonder why I don't hang out as much When I look at my past, all I see is a meaningless blur Everything has new meaning since I saw your face All the mem'ries we're making, I'll never erase Girl, if you are my fever, I hope that there isn't a cure
I feel the heat ... from your body I feel the heat ... from your touch I never knew just what I was missing I never loved anybody this much I feel the heat ...
All the things that I needed before Are here within your eyes Girl, you know that it's you I adore You've caught me by surprise
I feel the heat ... from your body I feel the heat ... from your touch I never knew just what I was missing I never loved anybody this much I feel the heat ...

Wish It Would Rain (lyrics written by Gentry Bronson, copyright 2006)
Verse 1 You got a blessing and a curse You got a sickness growing worse You need a magic wand and a dream that you can rely on You got scars on your back You’re like an animal caught in a trap You got a pocket full of sand and a trembling hand That no one can understand
Chorus Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry, dry ground Rain all over the sad, sad souls That surround You and me
Verse 2 You’re a soldier who can’t come home And a mother looking out the window Waiting for her loved one At the door You feel blind at the carnival Stumbling like a criminal With nothing but a bottle And an old baby rattle in your hands
Chorus Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry, dry ground Rain all over the sad, sad souls That surround You and me
Bridge Rain take away the sadness Take away the madness Can you wash us clean Wash us clean
Verse 3 You’re a small voice on the phone Calling from somewhere I don’t know You say “Man, I don’t think I can keep going on”
Chorus Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry, dry ground Rain all over the sad, sad souls That surround You and me

I CANT IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT ISRAEL Words and music copyright 2005 by Karen Daniel
Theres a man singing a song on Ben Yehuda Street I put two shekels in his cup before Shabbat And as the sun sinks low over the Mediterranean Its like its telling me, lhit-ra-ot.
Ive been here and there and seen places I have prayed about My feet have touched Jerusalems stone streets. And everywhere I go, it becomes easier to tell, I cant imagine a world without Israel!
Bit by bit and day by day there are people who try to steal Our homes, our hearts, our souls, our lives, our land. And from Hadera to Masada, Yerushalayim, Rosh HaNikra, Its all ours, and now I understand.
There is so much beauty in the blue of sea and sky So much beauty in our peoples survival. And as I sing these songs now, theres a change in how I feel: I cant imagine a world without Israel!
Oseh shalom, oseh shalom Bimromav, bimromav. Hu ya-a-seh shalom aleynu Val kol, val kol Yisrael. May the One who makes peace in Heaven above Make peace down here on earth for all of us. It was once just a hope, but now it is real: I cant imagine a world Dont ever let there be a world Without Israel.

THings I'd Do 4 U By Grant Baciocco Music To Throw Toasters By (ASCAP)
Baby for you, I would climb up Mount Everest, Stick a flag right on top. Baby for you, I would swim across the English Channel, By myself, non stop.
These are all the things I'd do for you. I'll admit that none of them are new. They've all been done by other men it's true. But baby... So have you.

The Notes He Didn't Play 2005 Clay Hotchkiss
Started out the day A casual mess. Then I found some words to say... and some notes that I could play.
Spoon-fed my way Observing the rest Reflecting imperfections in this mess, I do my best.
Shifted the focus with his will... mimed out the bar chords, then sat still. Trying hard not to fly away, He sat still with the notes that he didn't play.
In the middle of the day, My mind began to roam With the color of the sounds And the sound of light And the pattern of the groove makin' syrup in the stone And the lines in my hand were blending into the tone ... and the tune whistled through me
Winding down the day I knew I did my best; but my best just was'nt good enough; I failed the test.
A single note remained... alone and afraid; hangin out there upon the scale, never to be played.

Kickin' Stones Rik yerzik RYME 3-24-2006 Intro(4 bars)
Verse 1
I'm walkin' along this road with nowhere to go Just the clothes on my back to keep out the cold
I Close my eyes and dreams appear They take me so far from my home That as my eyes open I'm here kickin' stones, stones, stones So far from my home, home, home I'm just kickin' stones
Verse 2
Thinkin' 'bout my last lover Livin' in some other town Let her go for another Seems I can't, just can't settle down
Another life I disappointed Somewhere down this road I realize that I miss her Now Im kickin' stones, stones, stones Somewhere down this road, road, road I'm just kickin' stones
Bridge One broken heart left unattended Died a long long time ago Never knew that when love ended Would lead me down this crazy road
Verse 3
This town has many faces No one that I know I'm now a man with no traces of who I was before
Watch my life disappear A Shadowed ghost along this road I swear I'll never be one As I'm kickin' stones, stones, stones At ghosts along this road, road, road I'm just kickin' stones
Ending
Even though I can't see clear There still are things I should have known How could I know that road would lead here Walkin' down this road, road, road Feeling all alone, ahhh- lone (ritard) I'm just kickin' stones (slow) --- --- ----- stones Im just kickin stones (repeat and fade just chords no voice)

Letter from a Citizen (Sheridan Malone copyright 2004)
Dear Mr. President, Im writing you this letter As citizen and resident I want things to get better I see you still are sending sons and daughters off to die, When the reasons that we went to war have all become a lie And I guess therell never be an answer to the question Why?
Chorus How can you teach a lesson that you still have yet to learn? And wheres the good in killing or in causing things to burn? Democracy and freedom you defend at your own door For no one ever really wins when you choose to go to war
Im trying hard to understand just what this war is for, Did you really want to save us, or just settling an old score? It seems you want this country to come rally to your side, But protecting us from terror you have taken freedoms pride, And that flag unfurled around you wont provide a place to hide. (Chorus) So Mr. President I think we disagree. You cant enrage the entire earth expecting to be free. This mess you have been making is mistaken and its wrong Youve made the way to world peace more difficult and long, And if you ever read this letter, please write me back a song. (Chorus)

(a narrow escape.) (c) 2006 good evening music lyrics by david cloyd
bombs are falling to the east you are lying to my right the fight is lighting up your face from outside since we all lost power, my eyes can see darkness louder
there's a gunboat on the lake where we lost our youngest son years ago before the fires started since we all lost power, my eyes can't see him older
salvation hasn't looked at us yet salvation couldn't bribe me from this bed i feel the ceiling i feel the ceiling i feel the ceiling
maybe next year we'll save some more we've never seen the world before we'll take our cameras on a tour and put new pictures on the wall pack up the car and drive somewhere find a hotel and we'll sleep there maybe the rest that we find inside will be better better
bombs are falling to the west you are lying under me it was a narrow escape it was a narrow escape

original lyrics by Elise Lebec copyright 2006
BREATHING STILL
You caught me waking up from a deep sleep I was flying high with a broken wing Looking for a place to land safely But everywhere I tried looked so lonely
I was going through the pages in my mind Looking for the day you finally came and Swallowed me right down Im breaking all my rules this time around Im breaking all my rules this time around
Wont you tell me? Am I breathing still or did I lose myself in your world? I can hardly tell but I felt the change and Im not the same girl.
I was sitting in the yard reading the paper. I could feel the sun beaten on my neck. You were there just touching me so gently I couldnt even find the words I failed to speak
Tell me where do all the lonely girls go? Cause, I dont ever want find myself there. Im loving you more than I ever hoped for. Ive fallen in really deep and now Im scared. . Wont you tell me? Am I breathing still or did I lose myself in your world? I can hardly tell but I felt the change and Im not the same girl.
So if you see me smiling dont ask why. If you see me crying dont try to ease it Love is just a drug. Love is just a drug and Im addicted. Wont you tell me? Am I breathing still or did I lose myself in your world? I can hardly tell but I felt the change and Im not the same girl.

Woolly Mammoth Robert Farrell 2003
Hes just a little cave man Dont have nothing on his feet Leaving handprints on the wall And his descendants in the peat.
He just wants to have some fun And walk the forest floor Til the big ole Woolly Mammoth Come and chased him to his door.
When you hear ole Woolly Coming at you just like thunder Gets you moving fast to hide Old Woollys got your number.
Rumble oh yeah
Little cave man calls a plan Says its time to meet Says its time to make a plan Cause Woollys good to eat.
Get some rocks and get some sticks Theyll sharpen up just fine Corner Woolly in the bog Then Ill make him mine.
The plan was working out just right To his surprise and wonder Until two more Woolly Mammoth Come upon them just like thunder.
Rumble oh yeah
Little cave man tries so hard Hes so easy to adore But he can never quite figure out Just what hes trying for.
Homosapien has got the fire and the wheel Maybe he will have more luck With Woolly as his meal.
When you hear ole Woolly Coming at you just like thunder Gets you moving fast to hide Old Woollys got your number.
Rumble oh yeah

OPEN YOUR EYES By Alison Freebairn-Smith Copyright 2004 Alisongs / BMI
Listen up people Before it's too late The freedoms you cherish Are being taken away When profits determine Our world policy There is no democracy
And, what further rage Will our country unleash When yesterday's allies Become today's enemies We sell them our weapons Then we make them bleed When they no longer serve our needs
What will it take for the future to change Will you be one of the heroes that we all thank You know, no one can hear you if you don't raise your voice Don't be a fool, make some noise While you still have a choice
So, what have we come to? A nation of greed Where the rich just get richer While we do their deeds They take from our schools And they cut down the trees So they can pay the next enemy
The business men send All our children to war And, not enough question What they're fighting for It's innocent people Who pay with their lives So the greed can survive So these weeds they can thrive People, open your eyes
What would it take just to get you to see The products you buy give them just what they need To ensure their control over what you believe This is no democracy It's a damned tyranny Open your eyes, won't you please Please...

Not Today submitted by: Robin Brantley (music & lyric songwriter) copyright 2005
-GET REAL- Stand in line Take a number No one knows Why we're under This spell-
Will their way Past the others Take a peek 'Neath the covers Tonight-
All they ever really wanted was a moment to shine, Does it really matter this time?
(CHORUS) Get real I feel I need More than just A new twist Get this I need More than just Reality...
Stay in time Take a picture No one knows How to make sure This time-
Give a kiss To another Eat a bug For your brother Tonight-
All they ever really wanted was a moment to shine, Doesn't really matter this time...
(2nd CHORUS) Get Real I feel I need More than just A new twist Get this I need More than just Reality...
(3rd CHORUS) So Get real! I feel I need More than just A new twist Take this! I need More than just Reality- Reality...
Stand in line Take a number No one knows Why we're under This spell...

How To Treat A Woman By Richard Bates
Well I met her on the first full moon of fall I knew without a doubt she had it all But the words that came from me that night Were not the words that sounded right
How to treat a woman, I want to know How to treat a woman If you ask me sincerely, I really dont know Im asking for help, I know it dont show About how to treat a woman
I took some advice from my old man He said I could only do what I can He said the words you say if they come from the heart will find their way and make their mark
How to treat a woman, I want to know How to treat a woman If you ask me sincerely, I really dont know Im asking for help, I know it dont show About how to treat a woman
That woman married me that spring She doesnt know the joy that she brings Ill always remember what the old man said Ill speak from my heart and not from my head about
How to treat a woman, I want to know How to treat a woman If you ask me sincerely, I really dont know Im asking for help, I know it dont show About how to treat a woman
I want to know how to treat a woman Please tell me how to treat a woman

The Same Mary by Kathy Hussey 2004 rakukat music, bmi, all rights reserved
Im over here in the corner At yet another family affair Its strange to be the old relic Propped in this rocking chair The kids are all frightened of me They only come with Moms hand at their back Its okay Theres no way They could know that...
Im the same Mary Who once was her daddys little girl Im the same Mary The pillow fight champion of the world Catcher of lightning bugs, Bull frogs and garden slugs Climber of sky-tall trees Im the same Mary
They raise their voices at me So Im sure to hear what they say Usually some pearl of wisdom like Are you feeling okay? Young men rush to my rescue When I show signs of wanting to stand I dont need it yet, but I accept Cause they dont understand
That Im the same Mary Who danced til they threw us out at dawn Im the same Mary Who played tackle football on the front lawn Fixer of broken joys, Mother of four strong boys Coach, and referee Im the same Mary
But then he comes in the room Not just a tired old man, but the love of my life And Im saved by his wink at my cranky ways Cause I know that in his eyes Im the same... shy little thing in pearls prettiest of all the girls just like the day he met me
Im the same Mary Its just me... The same Mary

Party Girl by DJ Hamouris
Verse 1: Shes there, sitting on Friday night on a barstool, drinking getting a light for her cigarette her first cigarette of the night Laughing, smoking, hoping to feel less alone for one night her & her cigarettes all those cigarettes
Party Girl, Party Girl such a tangled sorry history Party Girl, Party Girl how you learned to love is a mystery But lovin you show enough to watch your baby grow & you love a good party, its true But when will you learn to love you?
Verse 2: Searching, failing, having to take just one more dead end job enough for the bills & the cigarettes need those cigarettes thru the day One more boyfriend knocks on the door and buys heartache for two who can compete with those cigarettes All those cigarettes
Party Girl, Party Girl staying close is so hard to do Party Girl, Party Girl No hard feelins, boyIm just quittin you And failures such a friend you always knew how this would end Youre on your own & feelin blue When will you learn to love you?

MOLLUSK by Brent Crowe
Its the failings of invertebrates and mice that inspire a young man to use his spine and size You know if youd just stand up straight you would find that youre bigger than all of the things you confide in me
Its an open bar that leads me to believe that if everything were just free youd abuse everything
Misadventures of old war heroes and spies inspire a young man to lead a double life Youre Heckle and Jeckle, youre Jeckyl and Hyde You still stop at one when you count the magpies in your reflection
Its an open book but at least theres something to read Until you give away the ending and ruin everything Its in open arms that you finally start to breathe And Im saying it til I scream Dont you do anything stupid!
Its the failings in a young mans twisted mind that inspire a mollusk to be thankful for the simple life

Its just the devil in you
Yeah, hes gonna try and lend your ear Tell you all the things you wanna hear And entice you with the sound of his fife To the crossroads in the mid of night
Dont believe that its true Dont believe that its true Dont believe that its true Its just the devil in you
Dont those baubles look good my dear They way they sparkle on you in the mirror In your pocket now they feel so light Who say two wrongs dont make it all right?
Dont believe that its true Dont believe that its true Dont believe that its true Its just the devil in you
(bridge) I hear him talking in that sweet old voice Hes a man, a woman, girl and boy He can sure talk anyone down Get em to wear his thorny crown
If you want a dollar cut in line Go grab your pistol and your moonshine Whats to stop you from a whole lot more? Just lay your soul down for him at the door
Dont believe that its true Dont believe that its true Dont believe that its true Its just the devil in you

Infibulation 2005 by Tony Parker
Early morning inna Africa Today she will be five I tell you she gotta be tough fi dat Pitiless turning point of life Female attraction is no purpose for her yet But a wicked complexion has a goal for her to get
She gotta stand what her mother did Her grandma did it too And society wont care a bit Believe me cause its true From a child to a woman with a knife thats full of dirt But the fine lickle woman doesnt know how it will hurt...
Infibulations mutilation of Jah Jah creation and nothing else Dont justify excision by tradition! get in coalition to break the spells Infibulations mutilation of Jah Jah creation and nothing else Dont justify excision by tradition! get in coalition to break the spells
Boom! - As the blade cuts into her skin Too late for her to fight Yes she could try but she wouldnt win Blindfolded from the light Screaming and crying all the figting is in vain And redeeming her trying she was told to stand the pain...
Infibulations mutilation of Jah Jah creation and nothing else Dont justify excision by tradition! get in coalition to break the spells
Voluntarily killing a soul Now what is wrong with dem? Whats the reason now and whats the goal? Just google FGM So many children lose their laughter day by day And for the sake of their children stop the suffering, I say
Infibulations mutilation of Jah Jah creation and nothing else Dont justify excision by tradition! get in coalition to break the spells Infibulations mutilation of Jah Jah creation and nothing else Dont justify excision by tradition! get in coalition to break the spells

White light White light White lights coming for you White light White lights coming for you tonight
Never saw it coming Only heard the sound All it takes is just one round
Screaming tires Breakn glass All thats left in the aftermath Is a white light A white light coming for you
Never saw it coming Only heard the sound All it takes is just one round
White light White light White lights coming for you White light White lights coming for you tonight

I RIDE MY BICYCLE
Round and round the town we go on our bicycles, Round and round our pedals go, moving fast, moving slow, Up and down the hills we go, huffing, puffing as we go, Riding to the greatest places you could want to go.
I ride my bicycle to work every day, And I take my bicycle, home every night, Dealing with cars, who get in my way, and, Dealing with potholes left and right. And, when I ride, my bicycle at night. I use a handle bar head light. So I can see where I'm going.
I ride my bicycle to the grocery store, And I take my bicycle, when I run my chores, Dealing with drivers who yell, get out of the way, Because they think I ride my bike real slow.
I try to ride, my bicycle really safe because, I don't think that roads are safe for race. I watch out for cars, cuz cars are dangerous, I watch out for trucks, cuz trucks endanger us, I keep my eyes upon the road.
Round and Round the country we go, on our bicycles, Round and round our wheels go, clicking, ticking as they go, Up and down the hills we go, building muscles as we go, Riding to the greatest places you could want to go.

CLAY COUNTY, CLAY COUNTY GENTLE MOTHERS SMILE CLAY COUNTY, CLAY COUNTY HAPPY BAREFOOT CHILD
I REMEMBER WHEN, I WAS TRYING TO BE A MAN I CAME HOME SO DRUNK, I COULD BARELY STAND MAMA CLEANED ME UP AND HELPED ME OFF TO BED THE NEXT MORNING, NOT A WORD WAS EVER SAID IT TAUGHT ME MORE THAN A SERMON EVER COULD ABOUT KINDNESS AND LOVE AND DOING WHAT I SHOULD
CLAY COUNTY, CLAY COUNTY HEAR THE BANJO RING CLAY COUNTY CLAY COUNTY, HEAR THE GOSPEL SING
WHEN I LEFT, TO GO OFF TO THE WAR MAMA HID HER TEARS UNTIL I CLOSED THE DOOR I WROTE TO HER AND SHE WROTE TO ME EXPRESSING HER PRIDE IN THE MAN ID GROWN TO BE I BURIED HER THERE, IN THE CHURCHYARD ON THE HILL BUT SHE AND WEST VIRGINIA ARE WITH ME STILL

Friday Night at the Ice Cream Stand 2006 - Charlie Cheney
It's Friday night I'm feeling like a really big man With a pocket full of quarters And a snow cone in my hand I'm leaning on the juke box Pounding on the arcade games Watching Sal burn burgers On his world famous charcoal flames
There's a pom-pom squad In the booth in the corner Shook-a-shooka boom-bah Sal rolls his eyes Because all they drink is water
It's Friday night at the ice cream stand It's Friday night at the ice cream stand
The alpha-sig girls Just drove in from college One got her daddy's car She's using up the privilege Her hair's dyed blonde Her lipstick's a frosted rose She's painting the ceiling With the rouge from her upturned nose
That pom-pom squad In the booth in the corner Shook-a-shooka boom-bah Are all dreamin' 'bout bein' Alpha-sig girls next quarter
It's Friday night at the ice cream stand It's Friday night at the ice cream stand
This is better than being at home This is better than being alone Being alone...
Johnny's in the lot Pitchin' pennies with the vagrants They're bleedin' him dry But what the hell It's just a couple of cents Me I'm living large With a burger on a barstool I'm jawing with Sal Acting like the royal court fool
That pom-pom squad In the booth in the corner Shook-a shooka boom-bah Are all gettin' up to leave They're primping in the mirror
It's Friday night at the ice cream stand It's Friday night at the ice cream stand

Just A Cowboy at Heart 2004 David Wells
He's got a big cowboy hat he wears And he's got a pearl button shirt His blue jeans are faded his boots are broke in And covered with just enough dirt
Yes, he drives a pick-up And its got a gun rack and he plays a little guitar But he's never been close to Dallas or Houston He's only a cowboy at heart
<Chorus> Yodel-ay he's a cowboy at heart Yodel-oh who is playing a part Yodel-ay he's a cowboy deep down inside him He's only a cowboy at heart
Now he's got every record Hank ever wrote He knows all of those words to the tunes He loves puppies and babies Drinks beer on week-ends And there ain't a favor he wouldn't do And he likes the old west and all of them stories Louis Lamoure has written his part But he's never been close to El Paso or Waco He's only a cowboy at heart <Chorus>
He'll never be famous like Waylon or Willie But he's a star just the same to his wife And she loves her cowboy and he loves his bride And they're having the time of their lives The neighbors all like him, his handshakes a promise He means what he says from the start So if he's not a cowboy according to cowboys He's more than a cowboy at heart
Yodel-ay he's a cowboy at heart Yodel-oh who is playing a part Yodel-ay he's a cowboy deep down inside him He's only a cowboy at heart
Yodel-ay-he yodel-oh-who Yodel-ay-he oh-who-he Yodel-ay-he yodel-oh-who Yodel-ay-he oh-who-he So if he's not a cowboy according to cowboys He's more than a cowboy at heart

The Love Residing Daily Phil Darkins 2001
If he wrote a song about you, could he clearly say The way your sweetness touches him just like it did today? The loving for no asking you so naturally provide Astounds him every time hes wise enough to put aside The cares & troubles he perceives to be of some import When truth be told and clearly seen theyre nothing of the sort
Before his eyes were opened he would blindly curse & swear Expressing mainly anger from some source he knew not where His deepest delving only served to fuel that fervent fire Until exhausted unconsciously deigning to retire All throughout such tirades there would play a tragic scene The likes of which a blindly raging man had never seen.
Til somewhere deep inside him, a voice would faintly say Open up your eyes & ears and take whats here today. Now with eyes a-glistening and cheerfully wide open And ears a-patient listening to what is simply spoken He gladly takes whats offered in the spirit its intended And finds himself feeling strangely silent and contented
Oh why so hard to turn and see The love residing daily here for me?

silent by Adriana Roze, for the Endless (c)Queen of the Moon Music BMI
night has day surrounded but you are wide awake a subtle supplication the quiet call of Grace
for you to dream keep dreaming dream of Peace please
this year for you was a shaken sphere the months got lost from there to here you had to watch your star burn by no net to carry you away this time
this is the rest of our lives all of our Cassandras had blinders on their eyes, but the tree of life will bear fruit in time the tree of life will bear fruit in time
and dream keep dreaming dream of Peace please
the worm across the world is spinning her silken thread the lines of fear and love connecting in your head
this year for you is not yet done the lines you crossed can be redrawn
light speeds faster than its absence you want love but you're out of practice fill this silent night with your dovesong
don't let this night go silent

Were did you love go by Dennis Davey
Verse 1 Your love for me there is no more There is something in its place A problem or a boy perhaps It seems to be the base Verse 2 Remember all the fun we had The promises we shared That has all ended now You really hadn't care Verse 3 Each night before I go to bed I pray to God above To please protect you and keep you safe You are my only love Verse 4 I pray that He may shower you With blessings of His own I pray that He may keep you safe And bring you safety home End verse Your love for me there is no more There is something in its place A problem or a boy perhaps It seems to be the base

Phases
Phases evolution Time changes Drifting structure Media arranges Greenhouse effect Micro-waves Hey what to do Back to the caves
Painted pictures on the wall Animals men large and small Stories were told history recorded Missile afar mission aborted
War and more Dying children Corporate corruption Political persuasion Endangered creatures Self righteous preachers Hey I say Back to the ancient ways
Painted pictures on the wall Animals men large and small Stories were told history recorded Missile afar mission aborted
Bridge:
Phases in the world, Phases throughout time Phases of the season The reason in the rhyme Economic suicide, Environmental genocide
Phases evolution Time changes Drifting structure Media arranges Greenhouse effect Micro-waves Hey what to do Back to the caves

Oil Barons
Asphalt or concrete, highways and backstreets Billions of gallons, mile after mile, Rubber on pavement oil enslavement, Keep cracking that carbon year after year.
Barons of oil building their empires Euros or dollars? prices climb higher. Blood of our planet sold by the barrel; Invisible hand becomes Iron Fist.
Limited sources, strong market forces The work of the many brings wealth for the few Internal combustion; outdated destruction Change gears to forward, turn to the new.
REPEAT Chorus
Im not a fossil, let me fill your tank. Keep it flowin keep it rollin Keep it pumpin keep it speedin Yeaheah % %

The Falling Ascent 2005 By: Pollard Wright Berrier
have mercy they dont know have mercy they dont see
they are the weak playing the part of the strong they are the past leading the future along they are the voice leading you and i to the slaughter they are the reflection of everything that we have created
so have mercy no, they dont know have mercy, mercy, mercy
wake up theres no time to fall asleep arise and flee from the falling ascent wake up no time to drown in your sleep arise flee from the falling ascent
troubled times, we must be blind we cant go down this road again you know why troubled times, we must be blind we cant go dont this road again you know why
because yesterday is broken hands tied to feet the cool eyes of morning must be slipping away and im not used to smiling at the pure velveteen sun without first kissing the moon hello, goodbye, anon

Looking for America
Drove through a small town, with quiet dusty roads The whole town took the day off for a carnival Nice to know there's towns like this These are the places that I miss
God bless America, sea to shining sea Sometimes it feels like we've forgotten to be free I know you're out there and I'll find you again To see if you're the same as you've always been
Saw a man walking down an empty road Shoulders stooped from years of heavy loads I asked him "hey mister, you need a ride" He said "there's no hurry, time's on my side"
God bless America, sea to shining sea Don't you forget about those simple folk like me I know you're out there and I'll find you again To see if you're the same as you've always been
Drove into a seaport - or it was one bygone day Where all the fishing boats sat anchored in the bay Close to heaven as it gets Lost in a time we shouldn't forget
God bless America, yeah sea to shining sea Home of the brave and land of the free I know you're out there, I hope I find you again But will you be the same as you've always been?

Ladybug (c)2loose Productions - 2006 Written by George Einar Nelson
She came to me in the black lagoon Sixteen eyes reflect the moon Tried to scream she held me tight Insect arms and deadly bite Stars came out in bloodshot skies Thick black hair to wipe me dry She dragged me limp to her insect tomb Den of Hell her silky womb
Ladybug, ladybug, take me home So much better than dying alone I want you ladybug Grind your black stilettos Grind them down to my bones
I beheld the fangs of death I inhaled my last good breath She spit her venom; rolled me out To complete the journey to her big black mouth I slipped inside her warm embrace I melt in the Hell of this disgrace If love is a god; deaths a drug I have loved a crimson bug
Ladybug, ladybug, take me home So much better than dying alone I want you ladybug Grind your black stilettos Grind them down to my bones
In the sands of time we said goodbye My time had come my eyes were dry In the lair she dug my grave So erotic, so depraved I travel now against the wind And the tides of the hive that suck me in I once had a lady who was twice my size With a poison tongue and blood red eyes
Ladybug, ladybug, take me home So much better than dying alone I want you ladybug Grind your black stilettos Grind them down to my bones

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY
Every day Every day is a new day.
So long as the earth endures Seedtime and harvest Cold and heat, summer and winter Day and night shall not cease
Some wrongs I cant right But if day follows night I can start again, I can start again When my harvest is fear Fear and anger and tears I can plant again, I can plant again Every day
If the tide hits the shore Bringing waves in a roar I can float again, I can float again If the sun warms away The waters of today I can try again, I can try again
Summer follows winter Day turns into night Ice melts down to waterfalls And grass grows green and bright Every day
Robin Paglia-Dennis 10/05

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
