Lifting My Heart
So, I was feeling lowdown Shoveling pain by the pound Looking down at my shoes Felt like a human in doubt Really, my inside was out Very hard to amuse Then I heard something outside All about Mister Sun Somebody singing outside Making me a lucky one Your song it lifted my heart Your song it lifted my heart You were there in the backyard Playing and working so hard Making pies out of mud I was all wrapped in my head Wanted to be back in bed Sinking down in the flood Then I heard singing outside All about the golden sun Somebody singing outside Making me a lucky one Your song is lifting my heart Your song is lifting my heart La la la la la La la la la la You're a miracle change in my life Sending me to my soul Sweet miracle changing my life Thrilling me head to toe Your love is lifting my heart Your love is lifting my heart

Watching The River Run
On summer nights when the moon is full The warm wind's sigh...I remember it still The path we'd walk to the rivers edge The way my father's eyes spoke when nothing was said And I'd take his hand As we walked I'd understand That we would sit there watching the river run All our dreams were there Every secret that we shared In the setting summer sun Watching the river run Seasons came and so did love We spent our days on the banks by the bluff Kisses cool as the water's touch We lay down with our promises, secrets and trust Side by side The sound of the water rushing by We would lay there watching the river run All our dreams were there Every secret that we shared In the setting summer sun Watching the river run The tangled web & the day by day We soon forget what we lost on the way But I go back take my child's hand Walk that path to the river and sit in the sand With her by my side The sound of the water rushing by We'll just sit there watching the river run All our dreams are there Every secret that we share In the setting summer sun Watching the river run

Wild One
Change your life wild one Change your life Make it strong Change your life wild one Sing your own song Now Now that the dark has come And the virgin green was made unclean By the foolish one Now Everyone has to pay And the more that we resist the more the blindness stays Yeah the more that we resist the more the blindness stays

Don't you cry Wipe your weeping eyes Don't you cry Don't you cry Wipe your weeping eyes Don't you cry All your sorrow Soon be gone away All your sorrow Gone like yesterday All your sorrow Soon be gone away Let me hold you till tomorrow Don't you cry Wipe your weeping eyes Don't you cry Don't you cry Wipe your weeping eyes Don't you cry....

There Must Be Some Way
There must be some way to mend your heart There must be some way In this world of ours some place to start There must be some way Oh my darlin', oh my lover There may never be another chance Like this Long as I remember I've been waiting for this moment To be true With you There must be some way to make amends There must be some way I believe that we can love again There must be some way

Changed Forever
Forty years by her side To have and to hold All their lives They raised up the kids The best they knew how Buried the youngest And carried on somehow Now he works in the yard The children are grown Till the day that she died He was never alone He keeps himself busy The best he knows how Buries the past And carries on somehow In the wind that blows west In a baby's first breath In a moment Lives change forever With a chance that goes missed Or a lover's first kiss Changed forever He tells stories of war And of hard lessons learned The day his friends flew without him And never returned Of the day that they met And the night he came home With his lifetime of memories He carries on alone In the wind that blows west In a baby's first breath In a moment Lives change forever With a chance that goes missed Or a lover's first kiss Changed forever He turns down the bed He turns out the light He talks to his daughter He talks to his wife He says "i'm gettin' along The best i know how I feel you there with me And carry on somehow" In the wind that blows west In a loved one's last breath In a moment Lives change forever Oh with fire or a fist Or a lover's last kiss Changed forever

Boiling River
Boiling river River of tears Rushin' over A bed of fears Too much tension Too many questions Deep the forest Dark the earth Warm and tender Life and birth There's no directions No prescriptions It's your decision Feel the tremble feel the burn Feel the life within you turn All the fear all the doubt It almost tears your heart right out Can you make it through alive Crossin' over This boiling river River of tears

Stand
They're standing on the corners Marching in the rain They shout what they believe in And lead the way to change Some think it won't make any difference That nobody is listening But centuries of people speaking their minds Has proven time and time again Stand...and let your voice be heard You can believe in the power of the word Stand and let your voice be heard Some are born to silence To slip through life unchanged They leave no path behind them And they look the other way But some are born to courage To take life face to face They cannot turn their backs on the world And the things that must be changed Stand...and let your voice be heard You can believe in the power of the word Stand and let your voice be heard Stand...stand together Stand up...and right what's wrong Stand...with your hands together Stand...and let your voice be strong Stand...and let your voice be heard You can believe in the power of the word Stand and let your voice be heard

I'm On The Edge
I'm on the edge. I'm on the edge. Yeah, I'm feelin' kinda lovesick I gotta get home to you Let me tell you, now You're my heart's desire I've been hummin' that tune about a fever Like Peggy Lee My thermometer's Cruisin' higher and higher I'm in a mixed up state I gotta get straight Instead of like a cat up a tree I'm on the edge....... Well you know I've been Travelin' much too long I've been burnin' up the wires on the telephone Day and night Now I'm gonna sing One more doggone song Then I'm headed for the gate I got a heavy date I don't wanna miss my flight I'm on the edge........

Time Will Take Its Toll
Is there a silence Of unspoken words Running through our days We dare not disturb We take it for granted For better or worse There's those things in life You can never reverse Oh, i remember When we were new I never doubted How i felt about you I'd had all that i needed Of freedom and fate I never dreamed What a difference you'd make Time will take its toll on love Every word and every touch Is not what it was Time will change us, you and I Who will we find As time takes its toll on love All around us Are friends filled with doubt Is this solemn promise What life's all about Then there are others Who don't wanna see They don't question why It's just the way it should be I'll never know If some kind of voice Was leading us both To think we'd made the choice But i know that together Is where we belong I never dreamed This feeling could last so long Time will take its toll on love Every word and every touch Is not what it was Time will change us, you and I Who will we find As time takes its toll on love After all that's passed And all we've been through No one makes me laugh The way that you do The passion and thrill That comes with the new I would trade in a moment For a lifetime with you Time will take its toll on love Every word and every touch Is not what it was Time will change us, you and I Who will we find As time takes its toll I hope it's you that I'll find As time takes its toll on love

Goodbye
Well I come downstairs its after four AM And this song is in my mind As it unfolds and the melody grows I recognise the story line Well it's all about us and the years gone by And the way I feel tonight How we built this home how our love has grown And how the passion died Goodbye The song says goodbye Write it down or it'll be a lie Write it down and then I start to cry Start to cry And I'm crying over you Well it's late at night I can't be thinkin' right And there you are at the foot of the stairs I just quietly play I turn my eyes away So you can't see the tears You say is something wrong I say it's just a song And you turn and go back to bed I just had to lie 'cause I'm afraid that I Can't say the words I dread Goodbye The song says goodbye Write it down or it'll be a lie Write it down and then I start to cry Start to cry And I'm crying over you

Call Up An Old Friend
Call up an old friend Chip through the ice Find a new threshold Find a new price Oh, call up an old friend Pick up the phone Call up an old friend And hope that he's home Call up an old friend Get to the reason The reason for quits Stamp out the reason The reason for it Call up an old friend Chip through the ice Find a new threshold Find a new price Oh, call up an old friend Pick up the phone Call up an old friend And hope that he's home Call up an old friend Make some sense out of The last parting words Make some sense out of The things that you've heard Call up an old friend Chip through the ice Find a new threshold Find a new price Oh, call up an old friend Pick up the phone Call up an old friend And hope that he's home Call up an old friend
