Blue Train
04:19
|
|||
|
I'm on the Blue Train baby
got a first class seat and my tickets punched
I'm on the Blue Train baby
no better reason than a hunch
all my calls go unanswered
seems your always out to lunch
The days we spent together
we lost all track of time
it never really mattered
if it was your place or it was mine
Cause I'm on the Blue Train baby
seems our love was just a fling (if there is such a thing)
You broke my heart with a one way ticket
Blue Trains non stop and it's right on time
They punched my first class ticket
And they pulled me out of line
and they say my destination
won't be your place and it won't be mine
I'm on the Blue Train baby
and it's non stop headed down track 49
and it's right on time
but ya know it really doesn't matter
there's a little brown eyed cutie
sittin cross the isle on the same ride
and she's givin me the eye
When this blue train left the station
and you closed the door behind
it didn't take me long girl
to see the favor it was mine
I'm on the Blue Train baby
and it's headed down the track
got a ticket in my pocket
and I'm never lookin back

You'll Never Know
03:30
|
|||
|
There's a day that's etched so deeply in my mind
with a smile wide and bright as brown your eyes
how could I see how would I know
how much my heart would be affected by your glow
As hours passed days quickly turn to years
the lonely hearts only hope their fears
can be turned back with loves sweet tears
trust your heart don't let it part, don't let her go
And in a moments time your glow gave life to mine
and the seasons now have rhyme
cause you never know you never know how deep the love
Yes you never know you never know how high the reach
Cause you never know you never know the life you give
The more you give the more it is you receive
In love and life sometimes once is all you get
to grab a hold that love, takes away your breath
A missed chance in life will only bring
A heavy heart chained deeply with regret
And in a moments time your glow gave life to mine
and the seasons now have rhyme
oh you never know you never know how deep the love
Oh you never know you never know how high the reach
Cause you never know you never know the life you give
The more you give the more it is you receive
Oh you never know you never know how deep the love
oh you never know you never know how high the reach
cause you'll never know you'll never know how much you mean
You are my world, you're all that I need

Called By The Wild
04:18
|
|||
|
Give me fields in the hills of Montana
A campfire and my favorite bandana
A sky full of stars, not a street full of cars
A six string, a song, and no alarm
With the flicker of the firelights sparks rising
The songs in the night lifted high
The canopy of trees gently swaying their leaves
Are echoed by the wild dogs of night
Called by the wild and the whispering
Far from the crowd not listening
There's signs in the clouds and their singing out loud
There's peace in the call of the wild
Give me fields in the hills of Montana
A campfire and my favorite bandana
A sky full of stars, not a street full of cars
A six string, a song, and no alarm
Far from the cities of game
Hills of the wild call my name
I get lost in the country and charms
With my lady asleep in my arms
There's signs in the clouds,
And their singing out loud
There's peace in the call of the wild
Ooooooh there's peace in the call of the wild

Just A Chance
03:26
|
|

There was a boy
born to a world
on his mothers last day
he would carry the scars of her ways
and a father he never would know
little odds for a long life to grow
just a dream, just a chance
is all that anyone everywhere asks
just to love, just to know
that your someone with something to be
Miracles are from heaven
but it's people that carry it's seed
it's people we need
This little boy, was seen with joy
by a woman who cared
enough to love, sent from above
his mother she would become
her sacrifice, his fight for life
with lungs that struggle to breathe
given a home, he's fought and grown
A boy with dreams of his own
Just a dream, just a chance
is all that anyone everywhere asks
just to love, just to know
that your someone with something to show
miracles are from heaven
but it's people that carry it's seed
it's people we need
This little boy almost a teen
has become a leader in sport
He plays the game and made a name
with his courage and heart
the mark he is leaving
and the future is his to write
This boy named Bryce
Just a dream, just a chance
is all that anyone everywhere asks

Into The Night
03:46
|
|||
|
Somethings not right, but it's worth the fight
Gotta sort it all out and drive
Headlights flash by, I'm still asking why
Into the night I drive
I play it all back, but it's still just a fact
I'm hoping it's all just a lie
Changes, there'll be changes in my life, changes, time to do or die
Repeat
Suns on the rise, and I realize
What has to be done, so I'll drive
Suns on the rise, and I realize
What has to be done, I'll drive
So I'll drive

Another Day On The Farm
05:42
|

Kafkaesque
Kafkaesque
In this place, In this time
2 plus 2 equals 5
Crowded streets, shuffling feet
Captive minds eyes cast down
Welcome to the farm
There's no need for alarm
Your numbers crypted in the feed
They know your every need
People ask hey what's your score
It represents so much more
Rise of fall happens fast
But they determine what's your class
Captive minds, captive minds
They know when your online, they know when you e-sign
Travel the west side and land on the east side
They know who your friends are, located your parked car
Your ATM withdrawal, the tab at the last bar
Repeat
They're listening in now, it's all stored in Utah
They know all about you, you'll never get that far
You try to go under but your digital number keeps telling on you
Yes it's telling on you
Welcome to the farm, there's no need for alarm
Your numbers crypted in the feed, they know your every need
The time is here the time is now
Before there's no time to proceed
Their plan for you their plan for me
Is the need for Orwellian seas
It's time to face reality
Were numbers now no longer free
Time to raise the alarm, and never spend another day on the farm
Not one more day on the farm

Clean Off The Rails
05:18
|
|||
|
Look around, and see what's going down.
Ohhhhhhhh
Too many people standing by
Watching evil tearing down the freedom halls
They divide and censor classes with their walls
Get in line, do what I say, take away their pay
Drunk with power comes the hour for their prey.
So-called leaders want to take it all away.
Take the mind, start with the young; that's how they play
Look around. It's how we've gotten here today
Driving, Driving, we can't let em drive, we can't let em drive
We can't let em drive us clean off the rails
What's going down, without a sound
If you believe, you're free to be free
Home of the brave, land of the free
Sleeping giant rising up tear down the walls
Now's the time like you and me so many see
That it's time to take away the keys
Yes, it's time for us to take away the keys
Yes it's time to draw the line it's time to say
the fights begun our freedoms here and here to stay
Driving, Driving, we can't let em drive
we can't let em drive,
we can't let em drive us off the rails
Off the rails
Off the rails

Cold City
04:18
|
|||
|
Another day, the skies are grey, I've been walking since the break of day
Another street, another city, faceless people in a nameless game
Such a hurry, looks of worry, faces buried in their handheld scurry
Social curtains, terms uncertain, there's an echo every footstep taken
Modern days, advanced they say
Cold city, cold city
It's a lonely way these lonely days
Cold city, cold city
Oh what's happened to people today, everyone seem so far away
Living in a world so alone, with no other view but their own
People don't talk anymore, seems it's always to settle a score
So be careful for what you say, for a word can put you away
Cold city, cold city, we're living in a cold cold city
Repeat
There's still time for a change of heart
Turn these cold, cold cities evermore.

That Distant Shore
02:42
|
|||
|
Signs of my times
Now etched on my face
Where have the years all gone
Children have grown-out on their own
Suddenly time has revealed
Things I no longer can field
Then there was you
who gave me a view
of a life that I so want to share
and like a bad dream
a sickness unseen
could take you before I get there
There's been mountain top glories
and wonderful stories
life felt like I had control
But fairytale endings and fictional renderings
Don't look like my story at all
So I write this open letter
and pray for the better
and cherish the things we have sown
and tell you each day of a love that has grown
One that's prepared us a way
To meet this new challenge
With God given courage
When one leaves the other for home
When I reach that door
I'll be singing my song
And meet you on that distant shore
That Distant Shore

Silver Lining
03:49
|
|||
|
Drove the mountain pass to town the other day
Thought about the things I've learned along life's way
Your best laid plans will change
2 hands are better than 1
And cloudy days don't always bring you rain
There's nothing like a friend to share your pain
Cause worryin will drive a man insane
Season's change along the way
And the humbled learn to pray
Silver linings will appear some day
If everyone would lend a helping hand
Things would be better across this ol land
And the things that we hold dear
And all the things we fear
God's promise to wipe away the tears
If only we don't waste all our years
Take our hands off the wheel and let him steer
Take another point of view and see what that can do
You just might be someone's silver lining...come true
There's nothing like a friend to share your pain
And together with grey clouds-drops of rain
with the rain sent from on high, tears are washed away from your eyes
And hope is passed on for another day
Give someone's eyes another sunrise...today

Dark Storms

Johnny sits in silence, he's an ordinary man
gets up every morning, works the best he can
with the world around him, spinning out of control
seems mankind after all this time has finally lost his soul
pass the man on the corner, tattered cardboard in his hand
the best days of his youth have passed fighting for this land
see the anguish in his eyes as the politicians pass
turned us all against ourselves while drowning in their lies
C'mon Johnny time to plow the fields, it's time to take a stand
come together as brothers and sisters, begin to heal our land
Seed the fields with hope and meaning instead of more of the same
Remove the grip, grip of oppression put away your finger of blame
Heavy fields of senseless killings our skies are darkened by the paths
That take us from our faith and hope, that led us in the past
God help us as a nation to rise above the evil seas
Turn away the darkened paths, return us to our knees
C'mon Johnny time to plow the fields, it's time to take a stand
come together as brothers and sisters, begin to heal our land
Seed the fields with hope and meaning instead of more of the same
Remove the grip, grip of oppression put away your finger of blame
Ooooh
C'mon Johnny
C'mon Johnny time to plow the fields, it's time to take a stand
come together as brothers and sisters, begin to heal our land
Seed the fields with hope and meaning instead of more of the same
Remove the grip, grip of oppression put away your finger of blame
Ooooh

Sweet Sunday Morning
03:50
|

|
Sweet Sunday morning, down by the sea
Nothing but daybreak looking back at me
Pick me up salty breeze, makes me weak in the knees
Lean on each other, a servants heart will please
So teach the children, a better place we'll leave
Sweet Sunday morning, high among the trees
Nothing but blue skies as far as i can see
Purple mountains majesty
Freedom calls to you and me
Lean on each other, a servants heart will please
So teach the children, a better place we'll leave
Lean on each other, a servants heart will please
So teach the children, divided hearts will bleed
We were meant to be free
We were meant to live in harmony

Lay Me Down Easy
04:26
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Nothin bout this road we're on, hints of what's around the bend
no landmarks to guide or turn, no preparation for my heart
there's nothing familiar bout this road, no secret lovers code
just what we learn from growing old, no proper way to part
Lay me down easy, so hard to let go
Lay me down easy, I want you to know
From all of the pieces your wings will emerge
Believe and be free, believe and be free
Just believe
Trumpet Solo
Lay me down easy, so hard to let go
Lay me down easy, I want you to know
From all of the pieces your wings will emerge
Believe and be free, believe and be free
Just believe
Reasons for being, reasons for not
reasons for seeing that this was our lot
Opposites move
Wanting and waiting, beating hearts desire
follow the call to where the peaceful river flows
the truth of the song, where our hearts belong;
it's led us all along
Lay me down easy, I want you to know
Lay me down easy where the river edge flows

Winter Cheer
03:22
|
|||
|
It's that time of the year, time to spread cheer
Singing those carols of joy
The fire it's a roaring, Grandad's a snoring
And the snow begins to fly
Making traditions, reasons for giving
Reflecting on simpler times
It's crisp and cold outside
A perfect day to huddle inside
While nature paints patterns in frost
It's that time of year, filled with winter cheer
Smiling faces ear to ear
With loved ones gathered round
Winter solace abounds
And the air is filled with hints of ginger
Laughter fills the halls
It's the time of the year, time of the year for winter cheer
Winter Cheer!
