Could've sworn I heard you say amen this morning,
showing some kind of sign that you believe Did it fall from your tongue without warning or just another trick to fall from your sleeve Did I hear you say that you believe in angels? I guess I bring the devil out in you But we can both remove our halos 'cause even an angel needs love too even an angel needs love too The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me Some things never change; Some things never stay the same But your so innocent, I'll take all the blame How I hate to remember for that means the day is past Sometimes I wonder if I know her or if I really need to ask or if i really need to ask The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me Woman...(x7) Half-man walks with no shadow of life he utters his distaste No apology is expected Love carved sorry in his face Love carved sorry in his face The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me Woman...(x10) |

The Will to Live
I met a girl whose heart was on the right hand side and upon the left an angel did reside they told her mother that she never would survive but she kept the rhythm and is still alive We must all have the will to live you got to have the will to live Then I met a man who had to walk with his hands born into a world he couldn't stand blessed with life but cursed as a man still he walks taller than most of us can We must all have the will to live you got to have the will to live Some are born with more and some born with less so don't take for granted the life we've been blessed it's hard to understand that we're only a guest and each one of us shall be put to life's test We must all have the will to live you got to have the will to live |

With such a good mother too They have blessed me, they have blessed me In the good graces of you Now I I have heard a hundred violons crying And I I have seen a hundred white doves flying But nothing is as beautiful as when she believes When she believes, when she believes When she believes, when she believes When she believes... in me Oh in me Mmmm... oh How good it must feel to be so young, young and free And a song that pleases a queen will always please me Now I have heard the wisest of wisdom And I have dined in palaces and kingdoms But nothing is as beautiful as when she believes When she believes, when she believes When she believes, when she believes When she believes... in me Oh in me, yeah Mmmm... oh no no, oh no Now all, all of life is just passing the time Until once again your eyes look into mine Now I I have been adored by a stranger And I I have heard the whispering angel But nothing is as beautiful as when she believes When she believes, when she believes When she believes, when she believes When she believes... in me Yeah, oh no no, no no, oh no |

The more i talk, the less i think The less i think, the more i feel Folks don't change They just reveal My mind is broke, my last nerve is shot What you want from me, i ain't got Two plus two will never be twenty-two So please don't tell me twice what i need to do There's no rules to lust Only passion, and it can be so unjust If we don't speak, we'll get along just fine Don't ask me how i'm doing 'cause i don't feel like lying Take me as i am Or leave me the way you found me |

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to
Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever. No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low. That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about. Strawberry Fields forever. Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream. I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree. Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout. Strawberry Fields forever. Strawberry Fields forever. |

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds Would you hear me if I told you That my heart is with you now She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun Did you find what you were after? The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees But if the sun sets you free, sets you free You'll be free indeed, Indeed She's only happy in the sun She's only happy in the sun Every time I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing It makes me cry Like the story of life, of your life Is hello, goodbye Shes only happy in the sun Shes only happy in the sun |

Battles over which direction to kneel
People reaching out to touch But forgetting to feel Daily breath shouldn't be a daily penance Is that what you believe Or just a life sentence I look into the mirror And i see someone there i used to know They all want you to serve them But the only one you got to serve Is your soul So much time And at such a cost We spend looking for what we've lost Now that you know You can't find it from him You're gonna have to find it within I look into the mirror And i see that life has taken its toll They'll all want you to serve them But the only one you got to serve Is your soul Listen to the wind it won't lie to you If you love it let it go And watch it fly to you Every setting sun gently weeps You can always hear it 'cause trust never sleeps |

Roses From my Friends
I could have treated you better but you couldn't have treated me worse but it's he who laughs last is he who cries first Sometimes I feel I know strangers better than I know my friends why must a beginning be the means to an end The stones from my enemies these wounds will mend but I cannot survive the roses from my friends When the last word has been spoken and we've beared witness to the final setting sun all that shall remain is a token of what we've said and done When all we've had has been forsaken distant church bells no longer ring that's the sound of a heart taken and the story of tears from a king The stones from my enemies these wounds will mend but I cannot survive the roses from my friends This may be the last time I see you forgive me for holding you close this may be the last time that I see you so of this moment I will make the most This may be the last time I see you but if you keep me in your heart together we shall be eternal if you believe we shall never part The stones from my enemies these wounds will mend but I cannot survive the roses from my friends |

It hangs above my altar
Like they hung Him from a cross I keep one in my wallet For the times I feel lost In a wooden frame with splinters Where my family kneels to pray And if you listen close You'll hear the words He used to say I've got a picture of Jesus In His arms so many prayers rest We've got a picture of Jesus And with Him we shall be forever blessed Now it has been spoken He would come again But would we recognize This king among men There was a man in our time His words shine bright like the sun He tried to lift the masses And was crucified by gun He was a picture of Jesus With Him so many prayers rest He is a picture of Jesus In His arms so many prayers rest With Him we shall be forever blessed Somedays have no beginning Some days have no end Some roads are straight and narrow And some roads only bend So let us say a prayer For every living thing Walking towards a light From the cross of a King We long to be a picture of Jesus In His arms so many prayers rest I long to be a picture of Jesus With Him we shall be forever blessed. |

there is not a river wide Not a mountain high And neither sin nor evil Could change how i feel inside Could change how i feel inside Not all the strength of the ocean Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun Though others have tried, i just can't deny For me you are the one For me you are the one But true love is priceless For true love we pay a price But there's nothing can keep me from loving you Not fire, no, not ice Not fire, no, not ice Like the hero or the champion You are the best, you're the best Like religion or superstition With you i am blessed With you i am blessed Now the river may grow wider The mountains may reach past the sky But wether or not you feel the same My love shall never die My love shall never die But true love is give and take True love is sacrifice But there's nothing can keep me from loving you Not fire, no, not ice Not fire, no, not ice |

like an old man
sitting alone at a lunch counter never leave lonely alone like a small town girl a big city devours never leave lonely alone some of us laugh even in our darkest hour never leave lonely alone unspoken rules of solitude wound without a trace a lifetime of dreams roll down your face all that we can't say is all we need to hear when you close your eyes does the world disappear there's something in everyone only they know never leave lonely alone it moves in the hidden ways of joy and sorrow never leave lonely alone |

Last night I dreamed that I was a child
Out where the pines grow wild and tall I was trying to make it home through the forest Before the darkness falls I heard the wind rustling through the trees And ghostly voices rose up from the fields I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path [way] With the devil snappin' at my heels I broke through the trees and there in the night My father's house stood shining hard and bright The branches and brambles tore my clothes and caused me harm But I ran till I fell shaking in his arms I awoke and imagined the hard things that pulled us apart Will never again sir, tear us from each other's hearts I got dressed and to that house I did ride From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light I walked up the steps and stood on the porch A woman I didn't recognize spoke to me through a chained door I told her my story, and who I'd come for She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore" My father's house shines hard and bright It stands like a beacon calling me in the night Calling and calling, so cold and alone Shining cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned |

A finger's touch upon my lips
It's a morning yearning Pull the courtains shut, try to keep it dark But the sun is burning The world awakens on the run And will soon be earning With hopes of better days to come It's a morning yearning Another day, another chance to get it right Must I still be learning Baby crying kept us up all night With her morning yearning Like a summer rose, I'm a victim of the fall But I'm soon returning Your love's the warmest place the sun ever shines My morning yearning |

Goodbye
Hasn't been so good to me Stepped out into the night Back against the moon I saw ten thousand hands with candlelight We all think that we're right It's hard to tell If the night is full of hope or doom My eyes Burn with unshed tears My body is weak From so many silent years Too many people say goodbye Before they say hello Step into the morning And disappear What more than sorry can i say What more than sorry can i be Before our love fades away What more than sorry Do you want from me |

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew 'bout you're plans to make me blue with some other guy that you knew before. Between the two of us guys you know I love you more. It took me by surprise I must say, when I found out yesterday. Don't you know that... I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey yeah. I know that a man ain't supposed to cry, but these tears I can't hold inside. Losin' you would end my life you see, cause you mean that much to me. You could have told me yourself that you love someone else. Instead... I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey, honey yeah. People say believe half of what you see, son, and none of what you hear. I can't help bein' confused if it's true please tell me dear? Do you plan to let me go for the other guy you loved before? Don't you know... I heard it through the grapevine not much longer would you be mine. Oh I heard it through the grapevine, Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind. |

How Many Miles Must We March?
Exactly how much will have to burn Before we will look to the past to learn We walk along this endless path Which has led us in a circle So here we are right back We can't let the future become our past If we are to change the world Won't you tell me Tell me please How many miles must we march How many miles must we march When I was a baby I was not prejudiced Hey how about you This was something That I learned in school Something they taught us to do We can't let our future become our past If we are to change the world Won't you tell me Tell me please How many miles must we march How many miles must we march There must come a day When a box is not somebody's home The unfinished work of our heroes Must truly be our own We can't let the future become our past If we are to change the world Won't you tell me Tell me please How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march How many miles must we march |
