*My love is a rock, an immovable force
Anywhere that you are, my love is right here With any tick of the clock Life can change it's course But my love will not My love is a rock Headed out into uncharted waters What you feel is your only guide And each step that you take brings you closer Just trust what you feel inside Cause something's telling you to keep on going Telling you that your aim is true Could be the voice of reason, or just blind devotion Whatever it is, it's calling out to you, singing.... *Repeat Mixed messages shoot through a wire Tender turmoil in your voice Change is spreading through you like a fire Bridges are burning, you made your choice And as you're searching for peace in your world You may find yourself spinning around, and around, and around While the pain you've endured Only serves to make you surer Of the strength you have found, and then.... *Repeat You may not be looking for love, but love may find you You may choose to close your eyes and run You may leave love far behind you In your eyes I can see the future In your heart I can always trust In your mind I will live on forever In your arms I will turn to dust These are feelings like I have never known The song of my very soul I can no longer silently sing it I'm gonna take it to the mountain and let it roll singing..... My love is a rock, an immovable force Anywhere that you are, my love is right here With any tick of the clock Life can change it's course Some things are here and then gone before you know Some things disappear without a chance to grow But my love will not My love is a rock |

When she turned away, you know it was just in time
Cause I'd used up all my strength And you can't let a woman see you cryin And you know it's real She's not gonna change her mind You choose not to change your ways Though she begged you a thousand times And you don't understand And you want to be a man about it *In time you'll learn to live without it And you know that you'll survive But still sometimes you doubt it If you can stand a little rain You're gonna grow again Cause you know that when love dies The heart survives Your stare at the empty walls Inside of this vacant home You walk through these hollow halls And at night you sleep alone *Repeat You've been over it so many times in your head Looking for a hidden message of hope In something she said Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend *Repeat |

Live it up, and let it go
Your time is up before you know In a world full of wonder Don't let your troubles pull you under You're telling me your life is tough And what you need is stronger stuff Well you can live under sedation Or get up and cause an overnight sensation Woah, live it up Life is what you make it Woah, live it up It's right there for you to take it You sit and watch your MTV You dream away in a fantasy If you don't dig the situation Then get a guitar and rock the nation You can't hold back once you light the fuse And if it feels alright, then let it roll You got nothin to lose Woah, live it up Life is what you make it Woah, live it up It's right there for you to take it |

All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue All heaven broke loose I was shaken by the power of love Taken by the power of you If I don't get to heaven For the things that I've done I guess it's all just history now Too late to be the innocent one I know that I've been led astray Love has torn me apart But each day is a victory now Since you have given peace to my heart Oh, I was a little bit crazy then Wheels kept turnin around And I kept losin ground ‘Till you stopped me from fallin again The love that you've given me Is a love that is true And each time I feel like running I come running home to you |

I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain If I can't see you through the air that we breathe What will love in the future be? I wanna watch my children laugh as they run I wanna hold their children on my knee And tell them stories of a vanishing sun Of how it used to be In my lover's life I want to share I want to see the world now through her eyes And about everything she sees, I care The time has come to rise I cannot bathe you in a river gone black I cannot hold you in a poison rain If I can't see you through the air that we breathe What will love in the future be? Will we make it a different story? Is there love in the future for you and me? We're looking for answers in outer space When will we discover the earth is a sacred place? |

How did we end up ending up this way
I always thought that we could work it out At times I wondered if we'd last out the day But my love was always stronger Stronger than my doubt Then here we are, are we running out of time? We've come so far to leave it all behind But that's how I feel I wanna know how you feel I'd walk all night for you baby Stand in the pourin rain But you gotta meet me baby, half way You know that I don't wanna give up Do anything to make you stay But you gotta meet me baby, half way I couldn't tell you what you meant to me I kept those feelings hidden far away And hoped that you could tell by looking at me Now you know what you needed Is too late to say.... That I love you more than I ever knew I could And I need you now like I never thought I would I thought about livin my life without you In this cold, cold world Well I'm no man of steel But I'd walk on fire for you That's just how I feel |

Love is a positive vibration
With love you find the good in a bad situation Everybody's gonna need a helping hand It don't really matter where you stand You're gonna need someone to lean on Hate is a constant inflammation A fire that's built on fear and frustration One man's heaven is another man's hell Every story has got two sides to tell Don't let anybody pull you under Some people just love to hate They criticize when they can't relate Some people don't love, they just love to hate Some people can hardly wait To tear down what you create Cause some people don't love, they just love to hate Somebody attacks without a reason He's just trying to drag you down in the hole that he's in Why are people so negative I think that everybody ought to just live and let live We could use a little understanding I guess some people been pushed around Now they're trying to even it up by putting somebody else down I believe that things can only get better When everybody learns to live together |

I feel you don't want to try Cause you won't see me as I am If you can't accept in me The good with the bad Then you won't see me cry again You won't see me Why'd you want to go and walk away? I have got some things to say But you won't see me as I am If you can't accept in me The good with the bad Then you won't see me try again You won't see me I'll be movin on, I'll be long gone You are in my range I am in your sight You say, things don't change I say, they just might You just might find that you can trust in me If you look at more than just what you want to see But you won't see me as I am If you can't accept in me The good with the bad Then you won't see me around here again You won't see me I'll be movin on, I'll be long gone |

A man once said love is all you need
And if not right he was close indeed It won't pay the rent Won't buy your shoes But it's time well spent if it keeps away the blues It won't turn the tide or stop the rain And deep down inside there might be a little pain But you still go through it Cause it gets you through the night Cause when you get down to it love is all right Love is all right Love is all right Oh, love is all right When your girl walks out you just want her back You got to have her now and that's a fact Jack Cause as big and bad and mean as you are You can't watch you're woman in another man's car You wanna keep that girl in you're passenger seat You wanna find her groove, wanna keep her beat So if you have to do it, you're ready to fight Cause when you get down to it love is all right |

My life is runnin like a stock car race
High speed and lots of curves Keep the pedal to the metal, win or lose But don't lose your nerve Some people live in fear If you can call that living I'm gonna keep my ass in gear And take the chance I'm given *I'm gonna go for broke, play to win Do or die, just don't give in Take a shot, roll the dice Don't look back, just go for broke My love is spinning like a steering wheel Just grab it and hold on tight Feel the power in your hands Take me right to the edge tonight Some people love in vain If you can call that lovin So let's hit the streets again It's all or nothin *Repeat Standing on the razor's edge But I'm not going under Every night I'm on the line Livin like my days are numbered |

I can't stop, can't stop rockin'... The whole thing started 1963 Young girls screamin' Black and white T.V. I was so ready, for something to set me free Those four boys from England, singin' right to me That night I had a dream, of a rock 'n' roll band Everyone said no, no, no. I said yeah, yeah, yeah I can't stop, can't stop rockin'... Never really fit in Couldn't quite be cool Got my ass kicked up and down the halls of my high school When things got too crazy When life got too cruel I would just remember the boys from Liverpool When I was lost, they were there to hold my hand When everyone said no, no, no. They said yeah, yeah, yeah I can't stop, can't stop rockin'... |

Now I'm standing here Wisdom came only after you'd gone Now I'm starting all over, with a tear in my eye I just never thought you'd disappear In the night your spirit arises With it comes the pain I hope I'm dreaming cus it hurts so bad When I reach out for you, I'm alone in some room I just never thought you'd disappear I still love you like a child Wasn't that good enough? I still want you, it drive me wild The pain is just too much Maybe I've lost enough Time heals all, so they say, I don't know Sometimes nothing's clear Maybe someday I'll understand But I know for a start There's a place in my hear that is yours And it won't disappear I still love you like a child Wasn't that good enough?

Father to son, husband to wife Brother to brother, black man to white Living together, falling apart Looking for the common ground in every human heart It all comes down to the two of us Yeah this is where we start We are building the bridge One small stone at a time With a lot of love And some help from above From your heart to mine There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride A mountain of hope, just on the other side Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there And we are building the bridge One small stone at a time With a lot of love And some help from above From your heart to mine As we seek out understanding As we learn to forgive When we open up our minds When our words are true and kind We are building the bridge |

Found myself heading down toward Springfield
The last sign said it was twelve miles west It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the sun sets The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday So I walked through his house and saw his tomb I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag I was tired of seeing monuments about other men's doom Now I don't want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now The people in the country certainly know how to play It may be a while before I'm ready But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin' I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel But I'm not singing `bout people who were just playin' music I'm singing about how fine their music made me feel There's a lot of people who have taken years of lessons Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin' special And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now The people in the country certainly know how to play It maybe a while before I'm ready But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday |

I can't fight this feeling
any longer And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow What started out as friendship Has grown stronger I only wish I had the strength to let it show I tell myself that I can't hold out forever I said there is no reason for my fear Cause I feel so secure when we're together You give my life direction You make everything so clear And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the wind On a cold dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever through I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crushing through your door Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you I've been running round in circles in my mind And it always seems that I'm following you girl Cause you take me to the places That alone I'd never find And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight You're a candle in the wind On a cold dark winter's night And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might And I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for It's time to bring this ship into the shore And throw away the oars forever Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore I've forgotten what I started fighting for And if I have to crawl upon the floor Come crashing through your door Baby I can't fight this feeling anymore |

Till the last day of forever, If I have it my way we'll stay together Till the rivers run dry I'll be loving you. Till the mountains have crumbled I'll always be true And if for some reason you say goodbye Ask me how long I would cry Till all the rivers run dry This path that we're walking May be rough and rocky sometimes But we'll believe in one another Whatever we find And when you need a hand to guide you I will be there walking beside you Till the rivers run dry |

There was a time some time ago When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day But now when the morning light shines in It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay I used to thank the lord when I'd wake For life and love and the golden sky above me But now I pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me Daybreak is a joyful time Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies But I wish the dawn would never come I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me 'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams We climb and climb and at the top we fly Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time And I don't know really what it means All I know is that you love me, in my dreams I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin' She touches me and suddenly I'm alive Oho, in my dreams |

Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind, Turned lovin' into leavin', and I'm on the outside. You can take these words to bed with you, and hold on to them at night, they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright. But your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear, No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is Here with me. Here with me. I don't know where you are All I know is I need you to be Here with me I know it's not too late to turn around and get it straight, It's my fate to have you here with me I can hear your voice, promising your love will never die I can feel your golden skin on mine, beneath the desert sky So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go? Let the story of your life with mine, forever go untold I can take these words to bed with me, and hold on to them at night, they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright. Cause your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is here with me. (chorus) (repeat chorus) Here with me (are you here with me?) I don't know where you are (don't know where) All I know is, I need you to be, ohohwhoa, Here with me I know it's not too late (know it's not too late) to turn around and get it straight Here with me... |

Building The Bridge
Father to son, husband to wife Brother to brother, black man to white Living together, falling apart Looking for the common ground in every human heart It all comes down to the two of us Yeah this is where we start We are building the bridge One small stone at a time With a lot of love And some help from above From your heart to mine There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride A mountain of hope, just on the other side Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there And we are building the bridge One small stone at a time With a lot of love And some help from above From your heart to mine As we seek out understanding As we learn to forgive When we open up our minds When our words are true and kind We are building the bridge |

The Heart Survives When she turned away, you know it was just in time Cause I'd used up all my strength And you can't let a woman see you cryin And you know it's real She's not gonna change her mind You choose not to change your ways Though she begged you a thousand times And you don't understand And you want to be a man about it In time you'll learn to live without it And you know that you'll survive But still sometimes you doubt it If you can stand a little rain You're gonna grow again Cause you know that when love dies The heart survives Your stare at the empty walls Inside of this vacant home You walk through these hollow halls And at night you sleep alone Chorus You've been over it so many times in your head Looking for a hidden message of hope In something she said Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend Chorus |

After Tonight Staring up at the moonlight Looking up at the stars I'm alone and I just want to be with you But I don't know where you are Maybe I took you for granted So blind, I let your love slip away Now I'm missing you so much I can't stand it Please believe me when I say, After tonight, I never will be the same again This time I'm sure that nothing means more Than giving you all the love I can After tonight I promise, I'm gonna be a better man Just hold me tight, and I'll be all right After tonight Anticipating the moment When I can make love with you again Patience is a virtue I'm finding Very hard to understand After tonight, I will never be the same again This time I'm sure that nothing means more Than giving you all the love I can After tonight I promise, I'm gonna be a better man Just hold me tight, and I'll be all right After tonight |

I know a place where you can go.
When you're flyin' high or layin' low. And I've got the time. I've got plenty to spare. I've got the time, and I've got the place, I just wish you were there. I've the will to have you around. Whether you're up, whether you're down. And I know the way To make you shine. I've got the will, and I've got the way, I just wish you were mine. |

My love is a rock, an immovable forceAnywhere that you are, my love is right here With any tick of the clock Life can change it's course But my love will not My love is a rock Headed out into uncharted waters What you feel is your only guide And each step that you take brings you closer Just trust what you feel inside Cause something's telling you to keep on going Telling you that your aim is true Could be the voice of reason, or just blind devotion Whatever it is, it's calling out to you, singing.... *My love is a rock, an immovable forceAnywhere that you are, my love is right hereWith any tick of the clockLife can change it's courseBut my love will notMy love is a rock Mixed messages shoot through a wire Tender turmoil in your voiceChange is spreading through you like a fireBridges are burning, you made your choiceAnd as you're searching for peace in your worldYou may find yourself spinning around, and around, and aroundWhile the pain you've enduredOnly serves to make you surerOf the strength you have found, and then.... * Repeat You may not be looking for love, but love may find youYou may choose to close your eyes and runYou may leave love far behind youIn your eyes I can see the futureIn your heart I can always trustIn your mind I will live on foreverIn your arms I will turn to dustThese are feelings like I have never knownThe song of my very soulI can no longer silently sing itI'm gonna take it to the mountain and let it roll singing..... My love is a rock, an immovable forceAnywhere that you are, my love is right hereWith any tick of the clockLife can change it's courseSome things are here and then gone before you knowSome things disappear without a chance to growBut my love will notMy love is a rock * Repeat

Live every moment - love every day'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.Live every moment - love every day'Cause if you don't you might just throw your love away. I walked for seven miles this mornin'. Footprints in the sand.Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.But I will walk on 'til I can no longer stand.I'll take you by the hand and we'll... Live every moment - love every day'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away. There's water in the wind tonight.There's a chill in the air.It's coolin' down my skin tonightSoakin' through your hair.There's warmth enough within' tonightfor both of us to share.We can take it anywhere. And we'll... Live every moment - love every day'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away. Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.I will search for that place but 'til I find it all I can say is... Live every moment - and love every day

Hometown lady, leavin' for the city Bags in hand, she's boardin' the train Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine I waved goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving. But a woman can't be high-class In a lonely farmer's town And the son of a poor man Ain't gonna turn your head around But if you ever get lonely Just pick up the telephone And the son of a poor man will bring you home. Maybe soon I'll see her on some television show Painted lips and fingers singing for the world A fashion plate for sure dancin' for your plastic world Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand But a woman can't be high-class In a lonely farmer's town And the son of a poor man Ain't gonna turn your head around But if you ever get lonely Just pick up the telephone And the son of a poor man will bring you home. |

Lost, lost in a dream (It's a dream) And I think, it's some evil scheme They say, that I don't feel, what I feel But I know, that this ain't no game What am I supposed to lie? That ain't what I'm saying You're telling me that I could be A little insane I tell myself to pull myself Together again 'Cause I Ain't been the same |

Another day in the city Another dancer to the music But lately, all the music sounds so strange Well some songs have no meaning And some songs try to hard Tryin to say it all And end up saying nothin Well maybe the words ring true What's right for them Maybe wrong for you So come out of the jungle Of another man's dreams And if you come to a clearing As lonely as it seems It's never too late to breakaway To Breakaway Another day lost in livin And another same old beginning And knowing where and why we went wrong Someone says I've changed And someone says that I've remained In the same place For maybe just a little too long (chorus) (piano solo) (chorus) |

Cool as the water melting from the winter snows You are the island I've been looking for I don't know where you come from But I can feel you comin on You're a storm inside my soul That's ragin out of control Call the wind out Call out the thunder Oh lightning, only you can will the weather I said come on Won't ya come on? Lightning you're mine Tonight, tonight You caught me while I was sleepin Restin from a heavy run I saw you in your evening gown You were lighting up the sky No matter what tomorrow brings Lightning, your mine tonight Woah, lightning your mine tonight Crack the horizon Only you can split the night Then comes your mother cloud to take you away Another wind will dry me And the sun will make me warm But to me my life will always be The calm before the storm (chorus) (solo) (chorus) |

We flew into town on Sunday, had to find a place by Monday Tried Bridgeport and Westport, 'til we found a place that we thought would do 157 Riverside Avenue. Saugatuck River's flowin', Mother nature's colors were showin' So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue Not enough time, too many things to do. We met a young girl on Main street, wanted to just pass her by She was homely, so lonely, She said, "Can I make love to you." We shouted 157 Riverside Avenue. It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving. Such a pleasant stay, I must say. So nice, so easy, we hate to say goodbye to you At 157 Riverside Avenue.

Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter. My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city. And I'm not missing a thing Watchin' the full moon crossing the range Ridin' the storm out Ridin' the storm out. My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me. She says that alone we've finally found home. The wind outside is frightening, but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city. It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give. |

You may not know this but you are everything you've ever needed. Heaven with a touch of New York. Silver with a touch of gold. And I can see where you're goin', but I don't really know the way. It's got too many changes, too much rearranging, Too many ways to go astray. So if you wanna go, let me go along I never walked that road alone I heard it was hard I heard it was long But we'll come back alive 'Cause only the strong survive You walk on a wire, make a game of desire, pitchin' pennies down a wishing well. You're leading the blind through there high and low times, but baby can you lead yourself? So calm down, honey, forget about the money. If you need me I'll always be there. Go ride your high horse alone of course 'Cause if you need me I'll always care |
