The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly A caterpillar to a moth before I die I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound I knew my feet could never leave the ground I went about my way, unsteady and afraid How could I know I was headed for this day? All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days And the weeks And the months And the years of my life It was all worth it To be here now I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown A branch to rest upon A place to call my own Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why I wasn't dreaming; I was awake, I was alive Gave up the ghost; he had nothing left to say But it was him who brought me to this day All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days And the weeks And the months And the years of my life It was all worth it To be here now I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free |

In the morning
When the birds are still asleep You can feel it No cars are on the street It’s anybody’s day It could go any way Why wouldn’t you want to make The most of it? In the morning There’s nothing left to prove If it’s your game It’s time to make a move Don’t look the other way You’re gonna have your say Why wouldn’t you want to make It really count? In the morning Yesterday is just a dream Out the window Take a look at all you see Baptized by the sun Go on and have some fun Why wouldn’t you want to have The greatest day? |

She's got a life livin' in her heart
She's got these eyes, well, where do I start? Like lookin' at the deep night sky So many worlds inside her eyes She's a spectacular girl Part of the job of bein' her man Is knowin' when to let go of her hand Her kind of power, it can't be reigned in To hold her back would be a sin She's a spectacular girl She sees the beauty in things we all miss All good things are defined by her kiss If you're feelin' like you can't believe Well, then, how do you explain the miracle I see? She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl Not a desire and not a need Some things just happen 'cause they have to be I'm gonna get there, I'm tellin' you, sir I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl Aw, yeah My love |

My friend was lyin', the grass was dyin' It felt like a story you don't care where it leads A change of venue, will it mend you? If the grass is not greener, you know what it needs I knew that I had to throw down some seeds Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Fair weather friends, they make amends But you look in their eyes and you know it's not real A little carin' and soul-barin' The actor's contract pays him how to feel I knew it was time to make a new deal Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Jacaranda bloomin' No clouds are loomin' The trees are swayin' In the wind Up in the mornin' without a warnin' The sun is a shinin' like a new born's smile It's time I faced it, don't wanna waste it I could run away but that's just not my style And I think that I just might stay here a while Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Yeah My friend was lyin', the grass was dyin' It felt like a story you don't care where it leads A change of venue, will it mend you? |

Look in the mirror
I am The Man Mrs. Miller says I am The Man Ask the birds singin' I am The Man Everyone is a fan A little walk through the neighborhood People nod 'cause it's understood Mr. Henry comes out to stand A wave and shout-out To The Man Ask the birds singin' I am The Man By popular demand The little skinhead with the tattooed face Shows me a moment of style and grace The old hippie with the tie-dye headband Flashes a peace sign to The Man Ask the birds singin' I am The Man Well, I do what I can The angry redneck in his pickup truck Tips his hat and gives the thumbs-up The New Age guy with the yoga mat Blesses me with a pat on the back The longhaired indie rock kid in a band Looks through his hair and shakes my hand The old homeless guy who smells like pee Stops talking nonsense and says "Morning, E" Ask the birds singin' I am The Man It's all part of the plan The thug rapper with the gold and chains Puts in his grill and says "Good day" The politician going door to door Says "No vote means more to me than yours" Ask the birds singin' I am The Man You know I'd win if I ran |

I like your toothy smile,
it never fails to beguile. Whichever way the wind is blowing I like the way this is going. I like the color of your hair, I think we make a handsome pair. I can only see my love growing I like the way this is going I like to watch TV with you, there's really nothing i would rather do. Then maybe we can go to bed, get up and do it all again. I like the way your pants fit, how you stand and how you sit, whatever seeds that you're sowing, I like the way this is going. I don't care about the past, none of it was made to last, it's not what who you've known, but who you're knowing, I like the way this is going I like the way this is going. |

How does a little baby know how to smile?
How does a cat land on his feet? Why does it feel like you've been here before? How do the two perfect people meet? Pain in my heart, twistin' like a knife Disappeared just overnight Good morning, mystery of life La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la How does a mother wake up in the night When she knows her daughter's sad On the other side of the earth? How does she know the kind of day she's had? Ghosts flyin' all around my life Sent a message both bold and bright Good morning, mystery of life La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la How does a man lose all that he loves And find the strength to rise above Havin' nothing to call his own? How does he find that he still has love? No more sorrow, no more strife Always some daylight followin' the night Good morning, mystery of life La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la |

If the world's a rotten place
You better just forget it In the crowd just another face Gonna make 'em regret it Take a heart and squash it hard Like a little grape Push it down 'tween boot and ground 'Til it loses shape And if you feel like you can't swim When you're thrown in the lake Just watch the bugs Passin' by you as you Slip under their wake Again If you let your feelings shine You better cover 'em up, kid Ain't no sense in wastin' time Dream behind your eyelids Take a heart and squash it hard Like a little bug Swig it down and spit it out And kick it under the rug And if you feel like you can't swim When you're thrown in the lake Just watch the bugs Passin' by you as you Slip under their wake Again Take a heart and squash it hard Like a little ant Scrape it off the sole of your shoe On the welcome mat And if you feel like you can't swim When you're thrown in the lake Just watch the bugs Passin' by you as you Slip under their wake Again Ooh Ooh |

Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I didn't get my invite Could be lost in the mail or something I'm gonna be there tonight I never cared about her anyway And I guess she never cared About me And what do you mean that I can't go? Where does it say that I'm a fool? Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? Let's ruin Julie's birthday I can see right through her act She said something about me And all the cool kids made a pact I never cared about her anyway And I guess she never cared About me And what do you mean that I can't go? Where does it say that I'm a fool? Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? Let's ruin Julie's birthday What does she have to celebrate? It's not a party if I'm not there Just her stupid friends and a birthday cake I never cared about her anyway And I guess she never cared About me And what do you mean that I can't go? Where does it say that I'm a fool? Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? And what do you mean that I can't go? (What do you mean I can't go?) Where does it say that I'm a fool? (You take me for a fool) Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? |

Where do you go when
The day is done But you are not? You look for a friend, but Maybe I'm All you got Hard to pretend that I've always been here Ready to be your man And I heard sounds Comin' through The bedroom wall Somebody cryin' Echoin' Down the hall Never knew what it is to be a man But now I know that I can It's all here for you It's all here for you And when you need me You know that I'm Always here It's not gonna be like It ever was Before, my dear Hard to believe the dyin' words of a lyin' man But that's not me Here I am It's all here for you It's all here for you |
