Before God and family we made the perfect start
And swore death would be the only thing to keep us apart
But we're fighting just like soldiers on a field of battle now
And the life we made together is our only common ground
She's got your eyes, my nose and our hearts
We can't unmake love
And just erase all the years
The sweetest little girl
In all the world will still be here
We promised love would last
She's living proof it still does
So even if we wanted to give up
We can't unmake love
Remember how the future looked as we'd lie awake and dream
Thinking just how powerful the love we made could be
And I can't help believing it's all still possible
But if coming to our senses is gonna take a miracle
What do you do when you're scared inside?
When all of your feelings just seem to collide
Emotions just seem to let go
All of your tears always follow
All of these things that you're feeling deep down
And you realize that you're calling out loud
I love Thee
Rescue me
Shine your light lead me home
Lord, all I need is your love
I love Thee
Rescue me
Shine your light lead me home
Lord, all I need is your love
Rescue me, rescue me
What do you do when the path leads nowhere?
When you need someone to be there
Now you're afraid of what's gonna come
And now there's nowhere to run
All of these things that you're feeling deep down
Then you realize that you're calling out loud
Oh it's love's sweet salvation
With Christ the Blessed Lamb
Anyone can read the sign
Or the writing on the wall
It's all right there to see
Except someone like me
Who can't see the truth at all
It takes a special kind of fool
To stand out in the rain
Somewhere in between
Nothing left to lose
Nothing to be gained
What kind of fool does it take
To go on loving alone
Like there's some answer in the ruins
Some silver lining to be found
An even bigger fool might think
That you would care if my heart breaks
Before the time that I admit
I'm just the kind of fool love makes
A wiser one would see
Nothing's gonna change
There's a time for giving up
A time for letting go
To learn from our mistake
But I keep holding onto hope
In spite of everything I know
What kind of fool does it take
To go on loving alone
Like there's some answer in this ruin
Some silver lining to be found
It takes a bigger fool to think
That the dawn will never break
On this day that I admit
I'm just the kind of fool love makes
On this day that I admit
Words and Music by Gary Burr and Mike Reid
Love that's worth fighting for
That's what this is
And how, how could I want more
Than the warmth of your kiss
No matter how many mile and dreams
Come between us now
In each step I take, with each prayer I make
This love will last somehow
(chorus)
Let the mountains rise I will climb them all
When my body's weak, I will not fall
Baby come what may I'll find a way to get through
There's nothing that I won't do
To be loved by you
There will be lonely nights
When you'll whisper my name
Know on those lonely nights
I'll be doing the same
Should every star in the sky go out
Just keep your faith alive
We were meant to be, this is destiny
It cannot be denied
Even when we're worlds apart
You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor 'cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolf away
You need a car with good tires on it
The right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in you walkin' shoes
The main thing you're gonna find you need
Is a fertile place to plant your seed, boy
You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love ain't no good 'til you give it away
You got to give it away
I recommend you get some life insurance and be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with the gun
You need a reason to get up in the mornin'
Make sure your clock has got a snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
'Cause overnight things can sure get cold
You're gonna find that sooner or later
They say theres a state of heaven
Somewhere way beyond the clouds
I know theres a piece of Heaven
In every little thing that you do
Cause every time you walk in the room
My angel is here
Im so protected and heavens so near
When I am under your wing
My wounds are healed and my spirit is clear
Come on angel make my heart sing
So when I'm lost and alone who will find me
Whos there whenever I call
Show me the strength thats inside me
Pick me up whenever I fall
You say love is no conditions
Each soul is free to come and go
Stay strong I dont need permission
Cause paradise is waiting for me
Every time I hear my heart speak
There's no king when love is the thing
We play the same rules
In a heartbeat a wise man can be a fool
There's no guarantee that love will be
A stranger or friend
A prayer that's answered or a heartache that never ends
Through the darkest hours when all is said and done
It has the power, you go from lonely to the lucky one
Love's funny that way
No matter who you are
Well it can shake your faith
Or it can break your heart
Once in a while the mountains move
We all long for those days
You live, you laugh, you say
Love's funny that way
Not long ago I got to know the lonely side
Just me and my pain and nowhere to hide
It amazes me
How my world turned around
If it's meant to be
That's all that matters to m anyhow
Love's funny that way
No matter who you are
Well it can shake your faith
Or it can break your heart
Once in a while the mountains move
We all long for those days
You live, you laugh, you say
Love's funny that way
So when you don't understand
Best you leave it in love's hands
Just live, laugh and say
Seen a lot of trouble
At my door
I've never known a day when
I ain't been poor
But I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end
Hard times
Is all I see
I've lost the ones
That are dear to me
But I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With Jesus in the end
These poor bones
Are tired and old
Meeting my savior
Redeem my soul
'Cause I'm gonna live
With Jesus
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
With Jesus
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna live
There's not much of a moon tonight
Clouds are covering the sky
The only guiding star in sight
Is the light in your eye
And though I want to follow you
Right now it's more than I can do
Oh baby, hold onto this moment with me
Show me how to start
I'll find my way but until then
If I'm slow to surrender
Try to remember
I'm learning to live with love again
Kisses are sweet, passion strong
You make it feel so right
But there was a love that went so wrong
It's still here with me tonight
I don't want to live in the past
A little understanding is all I ask
That's the same engine under the hood
Carried young Elvis to Hollywood
Been cross country a time or two
And look at it now, it's just like new
He had a weakness for Cadillacs
A girl in the front and his friends in the back
That's the original paint job too
And look at it now, it's just like new
Elvis was happy, he felt pretty good
Here he was drivin' to Hollywood
Gassin' it up and pushin' it through
And look at it now, it's just like new
According to one of Elvis's friends
He took it up to a hundred and ten
He just wanted to see what his Caddy would do
And look at it now, it's just like new
And my, my what a beautiful machine
Oh boy, it rides just like a dream
Just think of all that it's been through
And look at it now, it's just like new
He drove it to Memphis come Christmas time
Weather so fair, the future so fine
Say, Mama them girls ain't as pretty as you
Look at her Daddy, she's just like new
Elvis was always a dutiful child
And here everybody was thinkin' he's wild
He bought his folks a Cadillac too
Once upon a Christmas morning
There was a pretty little baby boy
It seems like I remember sadness
Mingling in the joy
For Mary saw the future
And the sadness it would bring
And that's when Mary started crying
When she heard the angels sing
Let's make a baby king
Let's make him Lord of all
Let's give him everything
Let's make a baby king
Now, you remember little King David
He's the little baby's kin
He's cousin to the man named John
And I know you all remember him
And John said, "Let's get ready!"
The herald angels sing
'Cause this old world needs to know
The good news that I bring
Let's make a baby king
Let's make him Lord of all
Let's give him everything
Let's make a baby king
Now we could use a revolution
The world is turned upside down
We need a new direction
We've got to turn this whole thing around
And we need a Lord to guide us
Teach us wrong and right
And we need a lamb to lead us
You've dropped pennies in a wishing well
And wished on every star that fell
Trying to find a heart of gold
You've even called the psychic line
But all of that's a waste of time
I know what your future holds
If you want a love that never ends
Take my hand and let forever begin
I've got your love
Don't need to wish upon a star
Dreams don't have to be that far
Just look inside my heart
I've got your love
Don't need to wear that lucky charm
To keep the magic goin' strong
Cause here in my arms
I've got your love
If you just take a chance, believe in me
It won't be long until you see
What I've known all along
I'm meant for you, you're meant for me
There's no escapin' destiny
I promise from this moment on
I'll give you a love that never ends
Take my hand and let forever begin
There's a stairway to heaven
Been caught in a downpour of a rain of stones
Felt like an exile in the world I had known
So I sought the shelter of my own soul
And stayed inside
I found no comfort in placing blame
I saw the hope that lay just beyond the pain
The past is a prison and I won't wear those chains
And I won't hide, oh no
I will be here
I will be strong
I'll face my fears
When the night is long
And still go on
I will be brave
I will be bold
Follow my faith
To a higher road
And I'm not there yet
But I will be
I could choose to keep my feet upon the beaten path
Never cross the open field for the one snake in the grass
But I'd rather risk my heart then never get the chance
I laid a red rose
On your front porch
Wrote I love you
On a note
I rang the door bell
And turned to go
Baby when the curtains moved
I couldn't believe the view
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
So take your cheatin' hands
Off my red dress
'Cause I ain't wearin'
This thing for you
I see you clearly now
And your lies too
They say that love is blind
Baby not this time
Why baby why, should I listen to you?
I cried, baby, cried, now I'm walking out the door
Help me
I think I'm falling in love again
When I get that crazy feeling
I know I'm in trouble again
I'm in trouble
'Cause you're a rambler
And a gambler
And a sweet-talking ladies' man
And you love your lovin'
But not like you love your freedom
Help me
I think I'm falling
In love too fast
It's got me hoping for the future
And worrying about the past
'Cause I've seen some
Hot, hot blazes
Come down to smoke and ashes
We love our lovin'
But not like we love our freedom
Oh, didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good
Help me
I think I'm falling in love with you
Are you going to let me go there by myself
That's such a lonely thing to do
Both of us flirting around
Flirting and flirting
Hurting too
We love our lovin'
To see him walking by
He might not catch your eye - here's why
Not quite heaven-sent
Kinda Clark Kent - yeah, that's it
He's got the profile of an average Joe
But wicked on the weekend
When he's on a roll
He rocks, he kicks
Born for a good time
And he don't miss a lick
He can talk it, he can walk it
He can throw down with the best
Gets you thinking things
That you never would confess
Send your mama into shock
He rocks
He's got all the moves
Showed me one or two
He'll take you 'cross the floor
Charm you to the core, for sure
Throwing on some makeup
Kinkin' up my hair
Come on taxi driver
I tried to live without you
What a misery it turned out to be
Sorry for the time I doubted you
Can't seem to get nowhere 'less you're next to me
And everyday I wonder what it would be like
Just to see the one who's always by my side
Lookin' out for you and I
I do my best to do right, got to get to the way up high
Oh, my Lord I can't wait to meet you
Love the life I'm livin' though
I'm looking forward to the day I fly
I can't wait to meet you
So glad to have a love that's true
And I wanna thank you now
For seeing me through
I'll never be the fool to go astray
Gonna stick with you always
And everyday I wonder what it would be like
Just to see the one who's always by my side
Lookin' out for you and I
I'll never be enough to give what you give me
But I can sing my heart out for you and tell everybody
All that He asks of us is only to believe
Disappear your low, low, lows
And your woe, woe, woes
Just like that, it's a natural fact
I can't wait 'til He comes back
Oh my Lord, I can't wait to meet you
Words and Music by David Tyson,Tina Arena and Dean McTaggart
Two smilin' faces, that's how it used to be
What once was forever is now a faded memory
The perfect illusion
For a while I guess it was
Without explanation
The bloom fell off the rose
(chorus)
Heaven help my heart
'Cause it's a lot like me
I'm wondering when this all will end
And I'll find the love I need
I know it's out there somewhere
Somehow I still believe
I'm asking please
Heaven help my heart
This world can get crazy
These are troubled times
I'd walk through the fire
If love is what I'd find
It's out of my hands now
So I put my faith in you
And say a little prayer
And hope that it comes true
What good's a dollar
Without your baby sister?
Two scoops of ice cream
On a summer afternoon
We ran wild
And all we ever wanted
Was to rule the world
Between our house and school
We move on
Put those dreams away
Thinking that we'll find them
Come some rainy day
First time I saw you
I knew I would love you
Half way through sophomore year
I finally asked your name
When I kissed you
I lost my heart completely
All we wanted
Was just to stay that way
We move on
Put those dreams away
Hoping that we'll find them
Come some rainy day
How could I know
That everything would change
Except the way I miss you
Come some rainy day
I'll sit and laugh with friends
At what we've all been through
But I still catch my breath
If I could reach the stars
I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
That this love inside, is everything it seems
But for now I find, it's only in my dreams
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was somethin' good
Baby, if I could change the world
If I could be a queen, even for a day
I'd take you as my king, I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule, in this kingdom that we made
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be travelin' on now
There's too many places I got to see
And if I stay here with you boy
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Bye and bye baby it's been a sweet love
Oh this feelin' I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
Lord knows, I'm to blame
And if I stay here with you boy
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows, I can't change
Lord help me, I can't change
Lord, I can't change
Can't nobody love you like I do
Not now, no not ever
There ain't no doubt I know this thing
We have, could last forever
Others may promise the stars in the sky
But sooner or later you'll find
Can't nobody love you like I do
Can't nobody hold you quite this close
All night like I want to
Baby put your sweet lips here on mine
You'll see 'cause I'm gonna show you
Just how an angel like you should be loved
I can't feel you enough
Can't nobody love you like I do
Can't nobody love you like I do
Who knows when it's meant to be
Well love knows and it sent you to me
You don't know how I live for the day
You look at me and you say
Can't nobody love you like I do
Can't nobody love you like I do
You told me that you wanted somebody to talk to
You told me that you needed a friend
You told me that you wanted somebody to stay with you
Somebody to stick with you to the end
So let me introduce you to someone who knows you
He knew you before you got your name
He's closer than a brother more than your father
And all you've got to do is just call His name
Dance! Shout!
Come on everybody let's turn His praises out!
Dance! Shout!
Come on everybody it's all worked out!
It's all so very simple! It's all so very plain!
You won't need nobody to explain
When you believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord
You will know for yourself that you've been born again!
When we get to Glory we will tell the story
Of how we lived in this world below!
My soul will look back and wonder
How I made it over!
I can see a cotton field
An old man working in the mill
I can see loadin' the trunk of my old blue Oldsmobile
I see the tears in my mama's eyes
When she kissed her baby goodbye
I can still feel all of that love from here
I can see the cotton sheets
They're swingin' in the wind, out swingin' in the wind
I close my eyes and my mind flies
And I'm right back home again
I'm right back home and
I can get lost while I'm chasing my dreams
I find my way 'cause my heart has wings
And I can still feel all of that love from here
I was raised on love's foundation
The Rock of Ages goes unshaken
The faith and hope that was given to me is stronger than the blackjack tree
My mama taught me how to stand alone
She let me go but she still holds on
Got a wishbone in my pocket and money to burn
I ain't got no worries ain't got no concerns
The feeling's goin' through me from my fingers to my toes
'Cause my baby loves me he let's ev'ry body know
A little bit of love
Goes a long, long way
A little bit of love
Gets you through the day, yeah
A little bit of love
Makes you feel alright
Gets you through the night
Now let me tell you, my heart's so busy jumpin' that it skips a beat
Got me runnin' round in circles, dancin' in the street
Now, you might think I'm crazy, I don't care
I'm a girl about the town and I'm walking on air
You got me shakin' down to my knees
Road blocks, red lights
Dang brakes, that's life
People say what they want
I don't care it's just talk
Go, let's start this show
I ain't gonna let 'em hurt me now
They ain't gonna break me down
I ain't gonna let 'em kick me around
No one's gonna take my crown
Hey nothin's gonna break me down
Got my back against the wall
Cities rise, cities fall
Reckless ride, wild abandon
I'll be the one left standin'
No you can't roll this stone
Bridge
I might trip up and I might stumble
But you won't ever see me crumble
Oh, oh...
I ain't gonna let 'em hurt me now
They ain't gonna break me down
I ain't gonna let 'em kick me around
No one's gonna take my crown
If life was a classroom
And love was just a lesson
An answer you can guess
Until you get it right
You with your hand up
Who are you impressing
It's just when everything
Is clearly in your sight
Will cast you adrift
But I'm of the notion
It is what it is
Say it with me
It's only love
You take it until it's gone
The thing to build your world upon
When it's getting rough
It's only love
There's nothing like a fantasy
The way we think it ought to be
It's never quite enough
If life was a spaceship
Cruising through the cosmos
Then love will be the rock that
Blows you from your sky
Though it can be emotive
It can be explosive
And when it leaves you cold
All you can do is lie
So bite your lip
Hide your emotion
It is what it is
End of the night and my money's spent
Gotta hock my clothes to pay my rent
It's a roll of the dice and it's the same ole game
Those crazy snakes done bit me once again
Now I wanna tell you
It's been a long road and a difficult time
My life's been so blue
But I ain't giving up
And I'm ready now to try, try, try
(Chorus)
I've seen the time when you could not stop the rain
When nothing changes and every day stays the same
Those bitter grapes have now turned to the sweetest wine
I'm ready for the sun to shine, a new day is dawning
When it gets too tough, comes to push and shove
I swear it was you baby who invented love
It's the same ole rhythm, it's the same ole rhyme
It's the same ole stuff that gets me every time
Now I wanna tell you
It's been a long road and a difficult time
My life without you
Ain't been easy babe
But I'm ready now to fly, fly, fly
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Get ready, get ready
Everybody get ready
Pack up all your tears
Bury the past
Send them away
Don't let 'em hold you back
Love will find you again
You'll find another way to begin
And you'll trust in someone
Your day will come
Throw it on the line
Let your heart break down
Know that at the right time
Love is gonna come around
Open up your soul and
Let the moment hold you
Don't push it away
Oh I know you know
You belong in the sun
Your day will come
Don't go back there
Don't tear yourself apart
Just listen to you
Remember who you are
Wait for true love
What's one more day
You'll find the one
Your day will come
Throw it on the line
Let your heart break down
Know that at the right time
Love is gonna come around
Open up your soul and
Let the moment hold you
Don't push it away
Oh I know you know
You belong in the sun
Your day will come
Pack up all your tears
Bury the past
We all want to make our place in this world
We all want our voices to be heard
Everyone wants a chance to be someone
We all have dreams we need to dream
But sweeter than any star you can reach
Is when you reach and find you've found someone
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing
The greatest gift this life can bring
If you can look back and know
You were loved.
CHORUS:
You were loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Meant something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart along the way
You can look back and say
You were loved.
You can have diamonds in your hand.
Have all the riches in the land
Without love do you really have a thing
When someone cares that you're alive
When someone finds their world in your eyes
Then you'll know you've find all you need
You'll hold this world's most priceless prize
The sweetest treasure in this world
If you can look back and say
You were loved
CHORUS
So many roads that you can take
Whatever way you go
Don't take that road alone
Better you should know...
You were loved by someone
Touched by someone
Held by someone
Meant something to someone
Loved somebody
Touched somebody's heart along the way
You can look back and say
You did OK
You were loved.
So remember to tell that one
How do you do it anyway?
Like there ain't nothing to it
To make me stay
No tricks with smoke and mirrors
Not anything up your sleeve
A second look and it can't be clearer
It's no mystery
It's in the way you love
It's in the little things you say
It's in the way you live
And give your heart away
It's in the chance you took
It's in the way you look at me
That sets you a world apart
And makes you who you are
And you are beautiful
You are
Pressed on my soul
Your fingerprint
Going where no one's ever been
Well, I don't know how
But I know you're in it
My life, my world, my dreams
I try but I just can't pin it
Somewhere off
In a distant dream
You were long ago
Like a memory
Now you're back
Standing here
Sayin' all the words
You think I want to hear
Did you finally realize
What I knew all along
That you never needed me
Until I was gone
Why now
Should I turn my life around
Just to let you bring me down
Another time
Oh, why now
After all the years apart
Should I open up my heart
And let you in my life again
Everything, that I tried to forget
Thought I left behind, guess it ain't over yet
And babe, it's almost worth all the pain
Just to look in your eyes and hold cause it's starting all over
Hold on, cause it won't be the same
Hold on, letting go would be better
Letting go of the pain
How did you think I would be
Waiting for you for an e-ter-nity
Why now
Should I turn my life around
Just to let you bring me down
Another time
I can tell myself I'm in control
I can live this life without you
But you know it's just a lie
You know it's just my pride
I can tell myself I'm broken down
One too many times
But then I start to cry
Don't want to live this life without you
Who am I tryin' to fool
Why must I walk away so strong
When I feel so weak
Who am I tryin' to fool
Everybody knows I still love you
I can tell myself there's someone else
Out there tryin' to find me
But it doesn't make much sense
When I've already found you
Only you, I love only you
Only you, ooh
I can tell myself I've had enough
I can't do this anymore
But what about my heart, what about my heart
I can't forget it still belongs to you
Who am I tryin' to fool
Who am I tryin' to fool
I've been alone too long
Wondering how to go on
Without you here by my side
So many lonely nights
Only memories keeping me alive
It never crossed my mind
So much would take me to you and I
I could have known you wouldn't stay
Now it's a lonely day
It used to be your love lifting me away
I can't go on now that you're gone
I feel this emptiness
If it's not you I'm thinking of
If it's not you - who am I supposed to love
Nobody stands in your place
I can't see another's face
Only a trace of what I knew
Only a shadow
I can't picture anyone but you
I can't go on now that you're gone
I feel this emptiness
If it's not you I'm thinking of
If it's not you - who am I supposed to love
I should have known, something so strong
Couldn't go on and last forever
If it's not you, who am I supposed to love
Now just a trace of what I knew
Only a shadow
I can't picture anyone but you
I can't go on now that you're gone
I feel this emptiness
If it's not you I'm thinking of
When I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
And I will turn and look inside me
And bid farewell to one more day
Every light begins with darkness
Every flower is once a seed
And with the sun and wind to test us
We are bound to be released
I will fly beyond this valley
I will open up the gate
And when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
We have hands to hold our sorrow
We have tears to heal the pain
And though your eyes ask many questions
On your lips I hear my name
I was born without a whisper
I was born beneath the rain
But when I reach the place I'm goin'
I will surely know my way
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall
In love
In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended
Before it's begun
And too many moon
Light kisses
Seem to cool
In the warmth
Of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give
My heart
And the moment
I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love
With you
And the moment
I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love
I look around at all the faces and I see
All the lonely people looking back at me
Rich, poor don't matter we're all the same
Everybody's hungry in a different way
We're clawin' and climbin' and kickin' and screamin' and fightin' but really
What the world needs now is love
Love and only love
A little help from up above
Faith to make a better day
Let's come together
Lay our differences down
Spread it all around
That's what the world needs now
(La, la, la, la, la)
Sometimes all it takes is just a smile
To change somebody's weather
Chase the clouds out of their sky
Sometimes you gotta give and not receive
Sometimes you gotta live what you believe
Open your arms cause that's where it starts
Right here with you and with me
Nobody likes the cold
We all need someone to hold
No one wants to be alone
"Let's come together, lay our prejudices down...")
A troubled heart and a troubled mind
Is all I'm gonna leave behind
I'm movin' on down the line
Don't shout me down I'm doin' fine
You've been hard and heavy on my soul
Gotta lighten the load and let you go
Life's too short, ain't got the time
For a troubled heart and a troubled mind
Got a v-8 Ford slung low to the ground
Got a highway leading me outta town
A road map open to the promised land
I've taken just about as much as I can stand
Windshield wiper slappin' off the rain
Bright lights shinin' on the passin' lane
One more mile, one less tear
Everybody read about it
You can find it in the checkout line
They say I got husbands a-leavin', boyfriends a-callin'
And problems that ain't even mine
Well all that trash don't bother me none
It's all just part of the game
I'm just a good-hearted down-home country girl
And you all know my name
I like to ride, I need my space
And I love being at home
But if you wanna get right into my heart
Take a left at the wyld unknown
They wyld unknown
You don't wanna cross my little mama
And you sure don't wanna mess with me
'Cause there's a wild streak running down from the roots
To the top of my family tree
I'm a woman of passion, a woman of faith
As honest as I can be
To tell you the truth, I'm bulletproof
So take your best shot at me
I like to ride, I need my space
And I love being at home
But if you wanna get right into my heart
Take a left at the wyld unknown
Left at the wyld unknown
The wy-ld un-known
I'll show you somethin that
You ain't never been shown
Whenever trouble finds me
I always take my share of the blame
I'm the kind of girl, who can rock your world
Or love you like a hurricane
I'm a woman of passion, a woman of faith
As honest as I can be
To tell you the truth, I'm bulletproof
So take your best shot a t me
I like to ride, I need my space
And I love being at home
But if you wanna get right into my heart
Take a left at the wyld unknown, yeah
I'll take you there
So, you're at the end of your wits
The end of your rope
You just can't fix
Everything that's broke
Got to turn it loose, babe
Hey, just let it ride
Cause it ain't about pride now
Well, it ain't about guilt
You've just come to a bridge
That you still ain't built
Sit down here with me
I'll tell you about the other side
The other side of loneliness
The other side of the blues
There really is a place like this
Where the sun is gonna shine for you
You'll feel that old restlessness
Your tears have all been cried
You'll find your way over this
And you'll make it to the other side
Life gets hard
Life gets cold
No matter who you are
Gonna settle on your soul
There comes a time
When you go looking for a place to hide
But one of these days
You're gonna lift up your head
Whistle up those hell hounds of yours
And make them sit up and beg
That's when you'll be ready
All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
That reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation lives to testify
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak
what love has done
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify....
I will testify to love
(For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love)
I'll be a witness in the silences
when words are not enough
With every breath I take
Will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
Lyrics by Karla Bonoff
Ev'rywhere I look the sun is shining
But it's always raining here inside
I can see, you really had a hold on me
It's a mean old love with a flame that never dies
Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Everywhere I go your in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared
Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why
Ask anyone you know
And they'll say love fades away
But this hearts cryin' just like yesterday
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared
Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why
Its in the wind
Noise and steam
‘neath your skin
And in your dream
It’s who you are
It’s how you feel
A guiding star
Your driving wheel
Sing
(Let it take you
Let it make you
Never break you down)
Sing
(Let it mold you
Let it make you bold
And never hold you down)
Sing
Sing, your heart out
Its on the street
The neon glare
The hard concrete
The cold night air
Its in your voice
The way you sound
Have no choice
But come unwound
Sing
(Your songs of truth and pain
All the things you can’t explain)
Sing
(The way you feel inside
Let the music be your guide)
Sing, your heart out
Sing it like you hear it
Like you have no need to fear it now
Sing it like you know it
Like you’re not afraid to show us how
Sing from somewhere way down deep
Sing and make the angels weep
Sing and open heaven’s door
Sing ‘til you can’t sing no more
Sing
(Your songs of dark and light
Make your mark with all your might)
Sing
(Your songs of hope and fear
Sing the song that sent you hear)
Sing, your heart out
Sing
Sing
Sing, your heart out
Sing
Billy was a small town loner
Who never did dream
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
Never cared about climbing any ladder
He knew the way in a small cafe, found the will
He met Miss Bonnie
And a little bit of her was a little too much
A few movies and a few months latter
The feeling got strong enough
They didn't own a car
So it must have been love
That drove him uptown for a diamond
That's when he started goin'
Over the line
Working overtime
To give her things just to hear her say she don't deserve them
But he loves her and he just kept going overboard
Over the limit to afford to give her things he knew she wanted
'Cause without her where would he be?
See, it's not for him
She is his only need
Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
A new promotion every now and then
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
And my, how the time did fly
The babies grew up and moved away
Left 'em sitting on the front porch rocking
And Billy watching Bonnie's hair turn gray
And ev'ry once in a while you could see him get up
And he'd head downtown
'Cause he heard about something she wanted
And it just had to be found
Didn't matter how simple or how much
It was love
And, boy, ain't that love just something
When it's strong enough to keep a man goin'
Over the line
Working overtime
She is his only need
His only need
Overboard
Over the limit
Just for her
She is his only need
I have sailed a boat or two, out on the wild blue
Yonder to dreams rarely come true
As far as I can see from the island of green
I can put my trust in just one thing
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
Peaceful waters, raging sea, it's all the same to me
I can close my eyes and still be free
When the waves come crashing down and the thunder rolls around
I can feel my feet on solid ground
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
Only love
Only love sails straight from the harbor
And only love will lead us to the other shore
And out of all the flags I've flown
One flies high and stands alone
You'd think I'd have the sense to run
Knowin' where you're comin' from
I can't bring myself to go
Heaven help me I can't say no
I see forever in you deep blue eyes
And I know where the danger lies
Tell me what's a girl to do
When she's up against the likes of you
I'm old enough to know better
But too young to resist
I'd lay awake at night
Wonderin' what I might have missed
But somethin' tells me your trouble
The only trouble is
I'm old enough to know better
But too young to resist
Now good things come to those who wait
Somethin' tells me this is fate
And after all that I've been through
I'm gonna trust my heart to you
I suppose where love's concerned
Some fools just never learn
Lying here in your arms tonight
I can't help but feel
I've been a rock and I've got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love, I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now I'm out of control
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth was ever worth it
No one can love me like
No one can love me like you
You can make me want you any time you want to
You're burnin' me alive
I can't deny you even when I catch you
Weavin' a weak alibi
'Cause when the night falls you make me forget
Your love is killing me and it ain't over yet
How did you get to me?
I shivered once you broke into my soul
The damage is done now I'm out of control
I've been a rock, and I've got my fences
I never let them down
When it comes to love, I keep my senses
I don't get kicked around
I shivered once
You broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm out of control
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like,
No one could love me like you.
You could make me want you anytime you want to
You're burning me alive
I can't deny you even when I catch you
Weaving a weak alibi
Cause when the night falls
You make me forget
Your love is killing me
And it ain't over yet
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like,
No one could love me like you.
I shivered once
You broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm out of control
How did you get to me?
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like,
No one could love me like...
No one else on earth
Could ever hurt me
Break my heart the way you do
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like,
No one could love me like you.
No one else on earth
Was ever worth it
No one could love me like
No one like you
End of the night and my money's spent
Gotta hock my clothes to pay my rent
It's a roll of the dice and it's the same ole game
Those crazy snakes done bit me once again
Now I wanna tell you
It's been a long road and a difficult time
My life's been so blue
But I ain't giving up
And I'm ready now to try, try, try
I've seen the time when you could not stop the rain
When nothing changes and every day stays the same
Those bitter grapes have now turned to the sweetest wine
I'm ready for the sun to shine, a new day is dawning
When it gets too tough, comes to push and shove
I swear it was you baby who invented love
It's the same ole rhythm, it's the same ole rhyme
It's the same ole stuff that gets me every time
Now I wanna tell you
It's been a long road and a difficult time
My life without you
Ain't been easy babe
But I'm ready now to fly, fly, fly
Get ready, get ready
I can tell myself I'm in control
I can live this life without you
But you know it's just a lie
You know it's just my pride
I can tell myself I'm broken down
One too many times
But then I start to cry
Don't want to live this life without you
(Chorus)
Who am I tryin' to fool
Why must I walk away so strong
When I feel so weak
Who am I tryin' to fool
Everybody knows I still love you
I can tell myself there's someone else
Out there tryin' to find me
But it doesn't make much sense
When I've already found you(Repeat Chorus)
Only you, I love only you
Only you, ooh
I can tell myself I've had enough
I can't do this anymore
But what about my heart, what about my heart
I can't forget it still belongs to you
(Repeat Chorus)
Who am I tryin' to fool
Who am I tryin' to fool
Everybody knows I still love you
