LIVE FOR TODAY
WE DON’T DO WHAT WE OFTEN SAY
WE DON’T PLAY WHEN IT’S TIME TO PLAY
WE CAN’T WAIT FOR ANOTHER DAY
THE TIME IS NOW DON’T YOU BE AFRAID
WE’RE RUNNING AROUND BUSY IN LIFE
THERE’S ONLY ONE GAME; THERE’S NO OVERTIME
LIFE IS RIGHT HERE THEN GONE IN A BREATH
YOU BETTER LIVE NOW; THERE’S TIME TO REST
LIVE FOR TODAY, LIVE FOR TODAY
YOU RUN AROUND LIKE IT MEANS SO MUCH
FORGET TO FEEL THE HUMAN TOUCH
IF YOU WERE ASKED HOW WAS YESTERDAY
THE CHANCE IS GOOD IT’S GONE AWAY
THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW IT’S TIME TO FEEL
THERE’S ONLY ONCE CHANCE; LET’S MAKE IT REAL
DON’T TURN AROUND; THERE’S NOTHING TO SEE
LIFE IS RIGHT HERE; THERE’S YOU, THERE’S ME
LIVE FOR TODAY, LIVE FOR TODAY
IF SOMEONE SHOULD SAY THERE’S ONLY TODAY
TIME IS A GIFT DON’T THROW IT AWAY
I’M TELLING YOU NOW TO SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE
I JUST SPEAK THE TRUTH; I WOULD NEVER LIE
DON’T LIE, I DON’T WANT NO LIES
TELL ME NO LIES, JUST SPEAK THE TRUTH

450 MULBERRY (I WON’T FORGET)
FOR DR MARTIN LUTHER KING
THERE WAS A PLACE, SO LONG AGO
AND IN THAT PLACE
THERE WAS NOTHING
THAT WOULD GROW
IT WAS A TIME
A TIME THAT MAN FORGOT
AND IN THAT PLACE
SO LONG AGO
A SMALL SACRED SPACE
THE TEARS NEVER FLOWED
IT WAS A TIME
A TIME THAT MAN FORGOT
OH, IT WAS A TIME
THAT MAN FORGOT
OH, IT WAS A TIME
THAT MAN FORGOT
IT’S OUT OF OUR MINDS
BUT I KNOW THAT I WON’T FORGET
THERE WAS A PLACE SO LONG AGO
AND IN THAT PLACE
YOU KNOW THERE WAS A GREAT GLOW
IT WAS A TIME
A TIME THAT MAN FORGOT

Two Trains

TWO TRAINS
YOU’RE THE ONE WHO GETS IT DONE
NO LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE
GOOD INTENTIONS; OF THAT I’M SURE
LEAVES YOU FEELING LESS SECURE
WORKING HARD ALL THE TIME
NO COMPLAINTS; FEELING FINE
YOU MUST KNOW IT’S NO LIE
TWO TRAINS CAN’T RUN
ON THE SAME LINE
SAVE THE CHILDREN; DO WHAT’S RIGHT
YOUR PERFECT WORLD
YOU’RE LOSING SIGHT
IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME
DON’T LET YOURSELF GET OVERRUN
EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE
EVERYTHING CAME EASILY
YOU COULD NEVER BE OUTDONE
JUST TRUST IN YOURSELF
AND YOU WILL BE FREE
THERE COMES A TIME IN ALL OUR LIVES
WE STRUGGLE HARD TO GET IT RIGHT
IF WE ARE PATIENT, IT WILL COME
A MUCH BETTER DAY UNDER THE SUN
TWO TRAINS, TWO TRAINS
GET ON BOARD

If I Could Only Sing

IF I COULD ONLY SING
INSPIRED BY A POEM BY JEFF CARLSON,
“HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY” FOR SHERYL
I REMEMBER A TIME
DOESN’T SEEM SO LONG AGO
LOST AND CONFUSED
BUT I DIDN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
THEN SOMETHING INSIDE
OPENED UP AND I COULD SING
I’M SO THANKFUL TO YOU
FOR MAKING MY LIFE A PRECIOUS THING
DON’T YOU KNOW I’D GIVE EVERYTHING
I’D SING YOU A LOVE SONG
IF ONLY I COULD SING, IF I COULD ONLY SING
IF I COULD ONLY SING
THERE WAS A NIGHT
THAT WE SPOKE SO TRUTHFULLY
I KNEW THEN AND THERE
THAT OUR LOVE WOULD GROW ENDLESSLY
DID YOU EVER KNOW
I’M THANKFUL FOR THE LOVE YOU BRING
I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE
SO LET’S GO OUT AND FEEL EVERYTHING
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
HOW YOUR LOVE HAS SET ME FREE
ITS MY TIME TO SHINE, I JUST WANT TO SING
WE’LL GROW OLD
BUT OUR LOVE WILL NEVER FADE
WE’LL MAKE THE BEST
OF THE PROMISES THAT WE MADE

Circle of Friends

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
SO, YOU SAY YOU WANT TO SIT AROUND
IN A CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
THE THINGS THEY TALK ABOUT
WILL NEVER END
THEY ARE HERE FOR THE GOOD TIMES
THEN THEY JUST WALK AWAY
SO, YOU SAY THAT YOUR LIFE’S ABOUT
A CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
THE HURT THEY TOSS AROUND
WILL NEVER MEND
THEY ALL SAY THAT THEY LOVE YOU
AS THEY ALL LOOK AWAY
SO, YOU SAY THAT YOUR LIFE REVOLVES AROUND A CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
THE LOVE THEY WANT TO GIVE
WILL ALWAYS END
THEY ALL SAY YOU’RE SO SPECIAL
AS YOUR FRIEND THEY WOULD STAY
SO, YOU SAY YOU WANT TO FIGURE OUT
YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS
THE LOVE THEY’RE HANDING OUT
WILL ALWAYS END
THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE FAMILY
WHOSE LOVE NEVER BENDS

TALK TO ME
I WAS ALONE, COULDN’T FIND MY WAY
I KEPT SEARCHING FOR YESTERDAY
SO LONG AGO WHEN LIFE WAS EASY
I HAD NO THOUGHTS
WHERE LIFE WOULD LEAD ME
NOW WE’RE HERE, LIFE IS REAL
I NEVER IMAGINED THE WAY I’D FEEL
SO WE TRY, MOST TIMES FAIL
I JUST WANT TO RUN BUT MY HEART SAYS STAY
TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME
DIG WAY DOWN, DON’T BE AFRAID
JUST TALK TO ME
TALK TO ME
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
WITH MINDS SO CLEAR
THERE WAS NO TROUBLE, SO LITTLE FEAR
WE SEEMED TO DANCE A SINGLE STEP
BUT NOW OUR LOVE’S A SOLID MESS
TALK TO ME, LIFE WILL BEGIN
I WON’T BE AFRAID
WHEN YOU TALK TO ME
TALK TO ME

Explore Your Mind
03:41

EXPLORE YOUR MIND
YOU NEVER KNOW
WHERE IT’S COMING FROM
THE RAIN IS POURING
AND YOU START TO RUN
ALL YOUR LIFE YOU FELT SO SAFE
YOU WOULD WAKE UP TO A PERFECT DAY
MOTHER NATURE DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN
IF YOU ARE HOMELESS OR A WEALTHY MAN
NOW YOU SEE WE’RE ALL THE SAME
YOU SEE THE STORY NEVER REALLY CHANGED
YOU MUST EXPLORE YOUR MIND
TAKE THE TIME AND HEAL
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
WE WOULD RUN AND PLAY
IT SEEMED THE GOOD TIMES
THEY WERE HERE TO STAY
BUT NOW WE KNOW WE CAN START TO SEE
AT THE END THERE’S ONLY YOU AND ME
OOH, EXPLORE YOUR MIND, EXPLORE YOUR MIND EXPLORE YOUR MIND, OOH
ALL THAT’S LEFT IS THE LOVE WE HAVE
AND RESPECT FOR OUR FELLOW MAN
SOMETIMES IT TAKES SOME FIRE AND RAIN
BEFORE WE REALIZE WE ARE ALL THE SAME

The River

THE RIVER
Looking for a place to stay
Will I survive another day
Or will they take my home away?
I never dreamed I’d live this way
If you could only see my world
I must protect my little girl
Not proud of the things I’ve done
But now my baby’s number one
Chorus:
Oh, Oh, Oh, the river
Oh, Oh, Oh, the river of life
The water’s rushing over me
making it so hard to breathe
The river’s never been this deep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Does anybody notice me?
Am I really that hard to see?
If your brother was in my place,
Could you just turn and walk away?
Chorus
There are days and some nights
When I can’t breathe
And I’m scared all the time
And you know you must believe
If you lived in this place
Then you might see
There’s a much better place
Help me now and we’ll be free
Chorus
Take me from the river

OHANA TENNESSEE
FOR BRUDDAH ED
ON A MISTY FILLED MORNING
THE ROAD HARD TO SEE
I HAD A THOUGHT OF A PALM TREE
SWAYING IN THE BREEZE
I REMEMBERED WARM EVENINGS
AND SWEET HARMONIES
A FEELING SO WARM WASHED RIGHT OVER ME
I KEEP THINKING THAT I COULD BREAK FREE
BUT YOUR LOVE HAS A STRONG HOLD OVER ME
THERE REALLY IS NOTHING THAT I REALLY NEED
EXCEPT FOR THE LOVE OHANA TENNESSEE
IF I LISTEN REAL CLOSE TO THE MELODY
THE GUITAR PICKING SO EFFORTLESSLY
I SOMETIMES SEE THE LIGHT
SHINE THROUGH THE TREES
THE AMBER RED SUNSET
TAKES ME DOWN TO MY KNEES
A VERY WISE MAN
SAID ONCE LONG AGO
TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY
AND NURTURE THEIR SOULS
THERE’S SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER
THAN BEING ALONE
I FOUND IT RIGHT HERE
IN THIS PLACE I CALL HOME

THINGS HAVE CHANGED
YOU FIND IT HARD JUST TO LOOK AWAY
PLEASE DON’T WORRY WHAT THE NEIGHBORS SAY
YOU'RE WORKING HARD, SOME THINGS GONE AWRY
YOUR LITTLE BABY’S GOING OUT AT NIGHT
YOU TRIED TO RAISE ME IN A NORMAL WAY
LOVE IS LOVE AT THE END OF THE DAY
SEEMS LIKE THERE’S NOTHING MORE TO SAY
WHAT DOES IT MATTER IF I’M GAY OR STRAIGHT
WILL THAT CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL FOR ME
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO SEE, UNDERSTANDING’S ALL I REALLY NEED
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME NOW THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED
WHEN I WAS LITTLE WE WOULD LAUGH AND SING
THE FAMILY GATHERED JUST MEANT EVERYTHING
WE NEVER WORRIED NEVER GAVE IT A THOUGHT
OUR LOVE WAS FOUNDED ON A SOLID ROCK
BIT BY LITTLE THINGS STARTED TO CHANGE
I HAD TO GET MY CLOSET REARRANGED
DON’T TRY TO FIX ME; I’M DOING FINE, WAY DOWN INSIDE, I FEEL SO DIVINE
I STILL LOVE YOU; THAT WILL NEVER FADE
PLEASE DON’T TURN YOUR BACK AND WALK AWAY
NO NEED TO WORRY; YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME NOW THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED
LOVE IS LOVE, JUST CAN’T BE DENIED
MY SOUL IS STRENGTHENED BY THE TEARS I’VE CRIED
IF YOU LOVE ME LET ME BE; UNDERSTANDING’S ALL I REALLY NEED
DON’T WORRY YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME
I NEVER MEANT TO BRING THE FAMILY SHAME
WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME NOW THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED

INSPIRATION
YOU COME TO ME IN MY DREAMS
COMFORT ME WHILE I’M ASLEEP
CLEAR THE THOUGHTS THAT KEEP ME UP
YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I’VE BEEN DREAMING OF
YOU INSPIRE ME, SO PEACEFULLY
YOU INSPIRE ME
FOR ALL MY LIFE I WAS ALONE
NO ONE THERE THAT I COULD PHONE
YOU SHOWED UP IN MY TIME OF NEED
SO CONFUSED AND YOU WERE HELPING ME
STRUGGLING AND TRYING FOR DAYS NOW
DIGGING OUT OF THIS HOLE I CAN’T SEE HOW
YOU WERE THERE ALL ALONG NO DOUBT
INSPIRING ME
INSPIRATION, CELEBRATION
INSPIRATION, INSPIRING ME
I WAS ALL ALONE
YOU WERE RIGHT HERE HEALING ME EVERY DAY
COULDN’T FIND MY WAY
BUT YOU HELD ME NEAR
YOU WERE MY INSPIRATION
STRUGGLING AND TRYING FOR DAYS NOW
INSPIRATION
YOU WERE THERE ALL ALONG NO DOUBT
INSPIRING ME YEAH
