Gotta Get It One Time
03:33

Too many funky figure facts floating in my brain
It feels like I can't slow down
The world keeps turning and my mind keeps burning
On this crazy merry-go-round
There's too many people and too many places,
Things are moving way too fast
I'm lost, then I'm found, down on the ground
No way things are gonna last
But oh... I gotta get it one time
It's only by my might, at the speed of light
That my things are gonna come to be
And it's only by moving at the speed of sound
That's the only way I can see
I'll pick it on up and run the whole nine yards
And run right on past the finish line
I got to keep provin' that I can keep groovin'
I can't afford to waste no time
Well I'm a jump-n-jack flash do the hundred yard dash
Make you feel like you're standing still
And in a moment of light i'll be out of sight
No I ain't got no time to kill
I got firefly feet and a pain in my gut
Yes I'm running like a rat in a maze
I'm throwin' down switches as I'm pullin' out stiches
Stumblin' through this crazy haze

Lead Me On
05:25
|
|||
|
I am just the clay, keep me soft and make me strong
Help me to walk in your way and lead me on, lead me on
Through the dark and lonesome valley, Oh your path help me to stay upon
Through the back streets and the alleys, lead me on, lead me on
Lead me on like a flowing summer river
Lead me on like the birds in the spring
Lead me on like the sunshine in the winter
Lead me on, Lead me on
Past vanities and idols, past created moon and created sun
Past self consuming bridles, lead me on, lead me on
In loneliness and heartache, when all the colors bleed to one
Through the storms and the earthquakes, Lead me on, lead me on
On step after the other help me to know that's where I belong
And teach me to love my brother and lead me on, lead me on
Walking day by day teach my voice to sing your song
On through to where you heart lay, lead me on, lead me on

Rainbow Sun
06:18
|
|||
|
Help me to love while letting go
And to ask the questions without needing to know..
And to be near her heart and yet leave room to grow
New and alive, this miracle of old
Alive and burning, this love burning bright and bold…
It’s holy ground, its a gift of gold
***
Spoken word deep in my heart..
You pull me together Lord and You pull me apart..
And You take my evil pride and You pull it undone
And its only then that I can see the Rainbow Sun
Help me to hold her hand and to walk side by side
And help me to love her with all I have inside..
And help her have nothing to fear and help me have nothing to hide
Now holy Lord, be my guiding light
And make me a man who will treat her right
Help me to love her every day and love her every night
***
**Move my heart to beat in your time
Align the thoughts in my mind
Restore my eyes to a sight divine…
And in Every word, let your words be mine

I love you like the sunshine in a blue sky
I love you like the thunder and the eagle's cry
I love the way you gun to see me through
I love the way you love me, I love my loving you
I love you like the motion of water falling down
I love you like the flower that sings without a sound
I love you way you warm my heart when it's blue
I love the way you love me, I love my loving you
**So take my heart and let it beat with your wonder
Take my hands and use them as yours from above
Take my weakness and keep me from going under
Take my life and teach me how to love
I love you like the laughter that knows no sense of time
I love you like the warm breeze that eases my mind
I love the way you make everything new
I love the way you love me, I love my loving you

If I Ever
05:28
|
|||
|
If I ever felt like I had to run and hide
You'd be my hiding place
If I ever felt like breaking down to cry,
Your love would take me in embrace
If I ever felt like flying away
Into your arms I would go
And if I ever felt like the dying of the day
You'd take your life and breathe it in my soul
You told me so
If I ever felt like there were no words in my mouth
You'd give me something to say
If I ever felt like my heart was heading south
You'd give me a reason to stay
And if I ever felt like my eyes were fading to black
You'd help me see the light, this I know
And if I ever felt like life was breaking my back
You'd be there to lighten up my load
You told me so
If I ever felt like my head was hanging down
You'd lift my eyes to see the sky
And if I ever felt like the dirt upon the ground
Your love would give me strength to try
And if I ever felt like I just wasn't good enough
You'd simply say I have some room to grow
And if I ever felt like my life was gonna be rough
You'd give me wings of peace on which to go
You told me so

Long Time Coming
04:28
|
|||
|
I'll have just a dram of that whiskey
I'll have a drop of that wine
I'll have just a bit of that mystery drink
Feeling fine. I'm out of my mind
Oh... It's a long time coming
Yeah... It's a long time coming
Mr. Bourbon says he'll have another
Go on and help yourself
Just put my hand upon that bottle
That's sittin' up there on the shelf
And drink to my health
Oh... It's a long time coming
Yeah... It's a long time coming
Now Gin'll have one of me shaken
And Scotch'll have me on ice
They don't care that it's my life they're takin'
They'll drink me dry and won't think twice
And I'll pay the price
Oh... It's a long time coming
Yeah... It's a long time coming

When I asked you for a cigarette, you offered me a light
And when I asked you for a little drink, you let me drink all night
And when I asked you for a little love, you found me a one night stand
But when I asked you to bail me out you left me high and dry in the sinkin’ sand
In the sinkin’ sand
And now hear I am all by myself cryin’ these blues once again
When I asked if I could tell a lie, you said, “Go right ahead.”
And when I asked if I could call in sick, you said, “Maybe you should call in dead”
And when I asked if I could cheat the IRS, you said, “That’s a small detail”
But when my world came crashin’ down, I was all alone and you’d left no mail
No you left no mail
And now here I am all by myself cryin’ these blues on a lonely trail
***
Well I know that I could just say I love you
But I know that just wouldn’t be true
Well I know that I could just say I love you
But all you do is go and leave me blue
Well I know that I could just say I love you
And that you probably would take me for a ride
Well I know that I could just say I love you
But I’d be lovin’ somebody who’s workin’ for the other side
When I asked if I should confess a sin, you said, “There too much pain.”
When I asked if I should right a wrong, you said, “Leave ‘em out in the rain.”
When I asked if I should go outta my way just to lend a helping hand
You said, “What do you gain by doin’ that stuff?
You’ve got to make yourself a one-man band, a one man band.”
But now here I am all by myself, crying these blues once again.
So I’m not gonna love you any more so get on out of my way
I’m not gonna listen to your bad advice or to another single word you say
I’m not gonna straddle this line no more between right and wrong
I’m tired of gettin’ stuck with a losin’ hand and of crying these blues all night long
All night long
I ain’t gonna walk your walk no more and I ain’t gonna sing your song

Missing You
04:26
|
|||
|
In another time and in another place and under another name
In a different light and on a different night, playing a different game
I’m not too sure just what I said, or what I did do
All I know is I’m missing you
I was running wild and running hot, it seemed I could do no wrong
I was a lonely child, far from meek and mild, making trouble all along
But now I’ve got no antidote for when I’m feeling blue
All I know is I’m missing you
Here I am down the road and things don’t look the same
I’m seeing from a different point of view
And now it’s very clear to me that I’m the one to blame
And that you were not the one who was untrue
But understanding myself now don’t help make things anew
All I know is I’m missing you
Oh I wish when I was younger so much younger than today
That I could have seen just who I was and made him go away
Cause looking back it’s plain to tell that I didn’t have a clue
All I know is I’m missing you
***
Oh maybe tomorrow or maybe another day
I won’t have so many sorrows to keep so far away
Perhaps some grace will find me and give everything a different hew
All I know is I’m missing you
Oh all I know is I’m missing you

Crazy Rain
04:32
|
|||
|
As the moon pulls on the water and the wind pushes through the trees
With the gentle hand of a potter, You have this pushing pull on me
And maybe it’s your crazy sunshine, And maybe it’s your crazy flame
And maybe it’s your crazy motion, And maybe it’s your crazy rain
The sun will open up a flower, Your love will open up my arms
And standing in Your light I feel the power, Your love surrounds and keeps me warm
And maybe it’s your crazy sunshine, And maybe it’s your crazy flame
And maybe it’s your crazy motion, And maybe it’s your crazy rain
Ahhhh, when I’m standing alone…
Ahhhh, and everything’s hazy
Ahhhh, and there’s nobody home…
Ahhhh, You offer me……. Your crazy rain
As the fire removes the imperfections so your flame purifies my soul
And Your water falls with soft affection and it heals and makes me whole
And maybe it’s your crazy sunshine, And maybe it’s your crazy flame
And maybe it’s your crazy motion, And maybe it’s your crazy rain

Lost and Lonely
04:42
|
|||
|
Well I know you think you love me but you treat me like a chore
Don’t you think I see you sneaking out that door
Well I’m not so naïve that I can’t see just what’s begun
You’re a sucker for looser whose living on the run
Well you’re crying ‘cause you’re lonely and then you run away
Taking all your troubles and you hide them in the grey
And you wear your face of sunshine each and every day
While you’re dying on the inside and keeping you sorrows at bay
Oh, lost and lonely, Love is calling out your name
Oh, lost and lonely, can’t you hear?
You don’t have to fear the darkness you can leave you sorrows on the floor
‘Cause I died once before and now I’m knocking on your door
There’s no need to be lonely anymore
Now any time you’re with me, things they seem to be just fine
Until you’re itchin’ for some cocaine or some fine Italian wine
Ah but don’t it feel good to feel the sun coming down?
An but you can’t feel anything ‘cause you’ve
buried your heart under ground.
Now this looser that you’re loving, he play’s his own game
He’ll tell you that he loves you as he whispers out your name
Ah but ask him just once to step on into the light
And you’ll feel his claws about you choking with all of their might

Filled With Wonder
04:14
|
|||
|
I strain to hear your voice through the rolling of the thunder
My heart wants to rejoice just to keep from going under
***
So I……… will praise you
I…….. will praise you
And I ………...am filled with wonder
The beating of your heart fills me with hunger
I'm crying for a start as I'm being torn asunder
I loose my peace of mind as I fall and I blunder
And wake only to find that the thief has been to plunder

When I was in the fourth grade I had me a love
I thought that she was wonderful, as pretty as a dove
I threw her on the ground and I dragged her through the mud
And I never really even noticed
** I can't believe the things that I've said
And I don't know what goes on in my head
There're probably people that wish I were dead
And I never really even noticed
Later on in life when I started high school
The world revolved around me 'cause I was so cool
I kissed Rebecca Roberts and I dumped her in the pool
And I never really even noticed
On my twenty-second birthday when my love was just a bud
Growin' like a rose bush stuck in the mud
I stole her fire cracker and I left her with a dud
And I never really even noticed
She was tall and she was lovely and blond as could be
And she looked so good standing next to me
But I left her for a beauty with a birthmark on her knee
And I never really even notice
Now selfish and alone with my blinders all gone
Lookin' at all of these fishes in the pond
I realize now that I've had it all wrong
And I never really even noticed
