right now
If we don’t change direction soon
Then this ship will run aground
The smallest grain of sand
So difficult to see
Holds all life’s little mysteries
Like the grains of you and me
And I know you said that you can
Never fall in love again
But I hope that isn’t true
Because I’m standing here for you
And all I ever want to be
Is the exception to the rule
We Can Move Mountains
There’s a cross that we must bear
That’s a lesson I have learned
But we can bear that cross together
Or so I’ve been told
And we will travel this world
Leaving no stone unturned
And we will carry each other
Down that long and winding road
I’ve walked a mile in your shoes
And you’ve been in mine
And we’ve walked over beaches
Crossed the sands of time
But we step over dollars
To pick up the dimes
And we’ve taken the long way home
But we’re finally back where we belong
With just a mustard seed of faith
We can move mountains
If I had half the faith of Bernadette
I could change the world
We’ve got to have faith
Faith in one another
And we shall gather at the river
With our flags unfurled
Now you’ve got to go your own way
And I’m going mine
But our paths will cross again
Time after time
And I shall take you in my arms
And sing you this song
And it will be just like
You were never gone
A Brighter Day
If the sun should rise tomorrow
And you don’t know where to turn
Be grateful for the sunlight
And the images it’s burned
If the night should fall tomorrow
Before you fall asleep
And you need someone to talk to
Know that you can count on me
Hear my testimony
Hear my solemn vow
God has never spoken to me
But he’s singing through me now
I needed someone to believe in
But what I couldn’t see
Was the someone that I needed
Was lost inside of me
Now I’ve found
Another way
I know I’m going to make it through
Another day
And I’ve found
The most beautiful light
All it took for me to see it
Was to simply close my eyes
So if the sun should rise tomorrow
And you don’t know where you stand
Come and stand beside me
I will take your hand
But if you need someone to guide you
Because you think you’ve lost your way
Then you need to look inside you
I promise you will find a brighter day
Columbus Day
I am counting my blessings on this great day
This nearly forgotten holiday
This Founder’s Day
As I travel this vast expanse of blacktop
I see the faces of these fine people
These citizens of the most charitable land on earth
These proud people who are not afraid to help
The other countries of the world who would not think to offer
One minute of their time when our times are hard
And we would not ask
But will pull together as one
I would not hesitate to help a brother in need
As I know that he would do the same for me
And as the majestic Douglass fir trees tower above
On my left and on my right
I am grateful for my family
Who risked their lives to board the Mayflower
So that I might have a better life
And for the soldier who kept us free
That I may work and provide
Or take my chances and travel
Hit the road or sail the seas
And return the favor
So that my children
May have the same opportunities
This Man
I am but a man
But this man was a God
This man stood upright in all his undertakings
And blazed a path for me to follow
Will he return in my lifetime?
I think not
But when we meet face to face
This man will greet me as a brother
And defend my misgivings as though they were his own
We all have our crosses to bear
But this man would bear them all
Yours and mine
Just for you to have the opportunity
To live in the light
We all must sacrifice
But this man made the greatest sacrifice of all
This man taught us how to live
And to love our neighbor
This man opened his arms and embraced the world
And his flesh was pierced
So that I may be free
Sins of the Child
Nancy was a loner all her life
She didn’t take no shit from anyone
Paranoid, but she refused to hide
She’d stand straight with her razor and her gun
Now the sins of the mother
Are visited on the child
I don’t know who I can or cannot trust
Will it take another
Sacrifice to tame this wild
Passion building, and pounding in my chest?
My father died
On the roadside all alone
Struck down in his prime when I was eight
He searched wide
For comfort and a home
Taken before his time, now it’s too late
Because the sins of the father
Are visited on his son
I watch the sun go down across the sea
I take a drink
And face the world alone
Because nothing left to lose, can set you free
If I Was Your Man
I’m not as drink as you thunk I am
I just want you to come here and save me
And I might let you see inside this man
But I’m nobody’s baby
And I know that you know how I feel
Because you never let no one inside
But if you relent and let me get inside you
You’ll know you have nothing to hide
I’m not as feel as you scared I am
You have no reason to be afraid
I just want for you to understand
I know that you feel the same way
Because there’s no one who’s seen my face
Or lived this same life
The way that I feel that you do
And there’s no one who can take my place
Or make this sacrifice
As I’m standing here for you
And I know you feel it too
I know that you know that it’s true
I’m not as know as you strong I am
But if you’d take me by my hand
Then I know I could show you how wrong I am
I could stay if I was your man
I would stay if I was your man
