Swift as a wind song
You sang the music of an honest bird I waited for some contradiction But truth was ringing in your every word And every moment since then The one thing I can tell Is that I belong with you And no one else Lay down those heavy burdens On the banks of this river deep Know that every piece of your past Is always some place safe with me And there's no room for judgment I want you as yourself Cuz' I belong with you And no one else We have both been broken Bent into painful shapes We almost let those old fears Carry over and get in our way Every struggle just makes our love get stronger Than it was yesterday So here we are now Ain't it lucky we survived it all Searching for self in separate rivers Ending up in the same waterfall And when we're gray and wiser The story I will tell Is that I belonged with you And no one else |

Got these feet
in these shoes they walked a mile or two, got these legs they've done work that's left them black and blue, got these hips they are wide but they know how to move, got these hands to lift the weak or slap down a racist fool {chorus} This is all I this is all I got Got this place I call my home but it's no Taj Mahal, got these pockets they ain't full grown but I won't steal from no one, got this heart well it's been broke but it's still beating strong, got this song it ain't much but it helps me carry on {chorus} Got a will that lifts me up when my body can't got a way of getting' through with no helping hands got a mind that lends me strength so I ain't afraid to stand got a love so deep in me can't be stopped by any man |

Across the room
across the street across the water where the two big blues meet across the widest space til you reach infinity my love will still be beyond the sorrow beyond regret beyond the tremors of a quake you can't forget beyond the hardest times man you ain't seen nothing yet my love will still be my love will still be It's out of , out of my hands you see chorus in your present and future over and under inside and outside close and asunder from the moment you awake til' the moonlight adorns your face when your memory begins to fade never will my love above the sunset above the trees above the highs and lows that make up reality above the resting place of the body that I leave my love will still be |

In a land far away where the sun doesn't spare a soul
and a twisted tradition has a girl in a strangle hold Lies a desert with the footprints of little girls with a secret of a pain that you and I could never know Little feet running fast as they can like the bird in flight through days of sand with a fire in the sky And through indigo nights she runs away from a life spent Being witness to other unwilling participants of a pain that you and I will never know (Chorus) Your'e a bravebird (bravebird) of the rarest kind (kind) You may be one of the walking wounded but still you fly You're a bravebird (bravebird) you put yourself on the line When you shared your secret with the world You saved another mother's child As she speaks, you can tell that the words are not easy to say They hold the power to transport her back to that impossible day but she hasn't any regrets cuz' she won't become a woman with a secret of a pain that you and I could never know you and I could never know you and I could never know (Chorus) |

Now could we go to the square they call Congo
I need to go and lay my feet upon the stone Where the first of us stood before, before, before Where we came and played to revive our depleted souls Where we went to forget our freedom was not our own Where we went to hold onto the memory of way back home Now could we Now could we Now could we go Get to cong, get to cong congo Get to cong, get to cong congo Repeat Now could we go to the square they call Congo I need to go and lay my feet upon the stones Where the first of us stood before, before, before Where we made music in remembrance of human bodies sold Where the sound of an old pain became a new music of hope Where they paved me a road so I could get to congo Now could we Now could we Now could we go chorus And I would not be here today if they had not been so displaced so displaced But still But still they made time to sing and play a song A song in congo chorus |

As gravity is to every human
As the earth is to the trees I couldn't drift away from your love because it's implanted in my memory If there was some uncertainty [chorus] You're dear to me You know who you are You're always here with me You know who you are You're dear to me and I hope you know who you are Watching you slumber drawn to the splendor of your face when it's completely still Standing under the flood of your laughter into every cell in me you spill After you everything else is weak [chorus] It's out of, out of my hands you see [chorus] |

Down
Where I'm going is down 'Cause you danced me around Made me too dizzy to see Down Boy did you let me down There's a permanent frown Where my smile used to be Pride has kept me from crawling But sorrow is constantly calling 'Cause you are the man who's not falling for me Down I'm the fool of the town Someone send in the clowns That song's about me (bridge) Carelessly I let you saunter in And out of the chambers of my heart Disguised as a gentleman Heartlessly and much to my chagrin You quickened your step as you left And that's where my soliloquy begins Down isn't it profound You're the wolf on the bound I'm the helpless sheep (adlib) (bridge) Down my heart makes not a sound It's somewhere on the ground Breaking...beneath my feet (adlib) |

I work hard for what I got
Plenty overtime When I clock out I'm worn and beat down But still ready to fly ( here you come with those ) unsteady eyes like you been looking for something you cannot find right through me like my fruit ain't fit for makin' pie chorus you got to earn my affection put your back into it before we get this show on the road don't make me lose all my self respect I ain't desperate yet so come on now stop actin' out and act like you know you're a beautiful mess but every attic has a treasure and I been known, to throw my apron on and scrub to reveal a shine (let the good lord have) mercy on you before I do if you were in the area and just passing through come correctly, come strong and don't drag your good foot behind chorus you set a pretty table and serve me raw meat ask me to the show but don't save me a seat say together we can sail, then add me to your fleet the perfect pair of pants are ruined with the addition-of-a-pleat I demand a flat surface Where I can Firmly-plant-my-feet And stand It's my democratic right to say man you shoulda|.

I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day
I like the new day it brings new hope they say I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky Nighttimes so weary and oh so am i Every evening I wish upon a star That my brand new bright tomorrow isnt very far When that heavy blue curtain on night Is raised up high way out of sight I like the sunrise so heavenly to see I like the sunrise and I hope it likes poor me Here comes the sunrise... |

I used to think it might be fun to be
Anyone else but me. I thought that it would be a pleasant surprise To wake up as a couple of other guys. But now that I've found you, I've changed my point of view, And now I wouldn't give a dime to be Anyone else but me. What a day, Fortune smiled and came my way, Bringing love I never thought I'd see, I'm so lucky to be me. What a night, Suddenly you came in sight, Looking just the way I'd hoped you'd be, I'm so lucky to be me. I am simply thunderstruck At the change in my luck: Knew at once I wanted you, Never dreamed you'd want me, too. I'm so proud You chose me from all the crowd, There's no other guy I'd rather be, I could laugh out loud, I'm so lucky to be me. CHORUS: What a day, Fortune smiled and came my way, Bringing love I never thought I'd see, I'm so lucky to be me.

Is there nothing sacred anymore?
when celebrities are deified and we're still calling some countries third world and crimes against little ones are punished with little laws and girls are taught to hide their curves as though they're flaws and other girls are taught to expose them but not own them and boys are taught they can own it all Is there nothing sacred anymore? in the 21st century and I still get followed 'round in stores and governments are using our money for reasons other than what they say they're using it for and small countries fold as their big debt keeps on growing and silent pain is golden under the guise of religion and boys are taught they can own it all Is there nothing sacred anymore? well maybe there never was, at all |

Once I was happy once I was alive the spirit of my guilty in the mimic of the sky Watching lives be taken Must be something in... Cause every day is another for my spirit to survive See I was lost oh where's the key? Cause this soul's simply cramped outside of me Somebody tell me where to go Searchin' for my soul Thought it was stayin' but now I know Searchin' for my soul It left an empty space you know Searchin' for my soul If you should see it send it home I tried to be strong but my strength is getting weak Happiness is clearing I hope I have the vision to see I'm so heavy-hearted I've got clearly blues Lately I can't even bring myself to watch the news Oh I feel the weight of all the world Is resting on the shoulders of this girl Every time one of us goes down Like I'm looking at my own blood on the ground Seems like everybody's lost their minds And I just might be the next one in line searchin' for my soul searchin' for, searchin' for, searchin' for my soul repeat |

Detrimental to my life Put my trust in some translucent people Now I see through them just fine I've come back to the real world And put my bitterness behind Cuz revenge is not as sweet as my freedom And no one's taking mine Promises Broken With endless waiting Been so many mountains I've had to climb I got this feeling Something is waiting My destiny's changing I'm about to shineExperience has taught me What I need to take me far See I can mingle with my enemies Cuz now I know who they are I'm stronger then I've ever been Got to be to survive There's a test around the Corner trying to bring me down But I'll never make the same mistake twice (Break) Oh shine 4xs |

If you've never been in love
And you're longing for the happiness it brings Try your wings If you're hungry for the sound Of a lover saying sentimental things Try your wings Even the tiniest bluebird Has to leave its nest to fly What a bluebird can do You can do too, if you try If you've always had a dream But you've been afraid that it would not come true, hitherto Fall in love and you will find That it's just what you've been dreaming of A first love never comes twice So take this tender advice When it comes, try your wings And fly to the one you love |

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Oh ?? I know it just ain't right But it seems to pop up in my head Morning, noon, and night I just can't release it The memory of you Mama never told me Love would leave me so damn blue And I got misery Cause I know loving you's a sin And I'll be on my knees Praying that I don't give in Now baby you and me Never ever could have been So I got misery Because I'll love you till the end You said that you loved me That I'm your only one But what you call monogamy Is lying to everyone Well I can't be ? But that's not the end of that Cause you reached in and stole my heart And now I want it back And I got misery Cause I know loving you's a sin You got me on my knees Praying that I don't give in Baby you and me Never ever could have been So I got misery Because I'll love you till the end I'm so blue Can't let go of you I'm so blue Can't stop loving you I'm so blue Can't let go of you I'm so blue You give me sweet misery Cause I know loving you's a sin You got me on my knees Praying that I don't give in Baby you and me Never ever could have been So I got misery yeah I'll love you till the end Oh I know loving you is a sin You got me on my knees Praying that I don't give in And baby you and me Never ever could have been So I got misery Oh I got it bad, I got it bad I got it so darn bad, so darn bad Baby I'm praying that I don't give in, baby You and me we never ever could have been So I got misery cause I'll love you till the end Oh baby, oh baby Oh baby, ooh wee baby Oh, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, baby Sweet misery, sweet misery Sweet misery I got some sweet, sweet misery, misery Misery, misery, sweet misery |

they speak of jobs and positions
who's seeing who, who's settled down they casually mention your name the power in the a word's insane how it triggers everything to come tumbling down into the pit of my stomach boulders and butterflies coexist that chemical reaction shared by all romantics threatens to persist chorus and this unanswered question lingers on to this later date can i resign to never knowing if i was your one that got away the back and forth, the on and off the "don't call anymore" the leaving, the wishing i had stayed a self inflicted prison i can't escape like if i did the memories would decay and there'd be no more hours of dreaming bout what a life with you would have been that chemical reaction shared by all romantics has some twisted need to exist Bridge say you feel nothing when you see me say that where i walk ,flowers have grown say that i rocked your world say that i was never your girl just give me somethin' give me somethin' i can put in stone chorus |

Can you tell that I've been hurt so?
Can you tell I wanna lay low? Can you tell that I'm a flower Waiting for a sunshower? Can you tell that love denied me? I need someone to revive me If you give me a reason, I'll be with you through the seasons (Bridge) And we'll shed of our skin like trees do with leaves We'll glide together down on winter breeze And rest in the earth intertwined at the roots Until we have grown into one, me and you... (Chorus) And we can be new And we can be new And we can be new Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo And we can be new Can you tell me a story That ends with morning glory? Can you tell I will believe you If I could remember how to? Can you tell the girl I once was Come back, there's nothing here to fear, love? If you give me a reason, I'll be with you through all seasons (Bridge) (Chorus) Want to begin, want to begin to grow our new future, love Where the ground is still fertile, full of hope and life Never again, never again will pain and lies do you in Let's bury them beside us, so they can remind us of when we... (Repeat chorus) |

This woman is growing weary
Of having to be so strong Of having to pretend I'm made of stone So I won't end up with no broken bones I can't fight every battle alone I want someone to lift me Heal my wounds and give me kisses on my head Say words that should be said Fear is not the matter I would so much rather open up my heart And lay down my guard Chorus: If I could trust someone To have my back and never do me wrong Then I would give my love up Just like that stop singing this soldier song (repeat) whomever said love was overrated must not be getting' none my independent days have had their fun but when the parties over and the workin' day is done I just want to come home to someone I want a love to take me As I am not make me compromise myself Or be like no one else Fear is not the matter I would so much rather open up my heart And just lay down my guard Chorus |

If ever you awake and find your inner light is gray
May I suggest a simple remedy to make your day? Open up your windows and then open wide your eyes Let your vision feast upon the golden yellow sunrise You might be aching 'cause the one you love is far away Thinking it's impossible to make it through another day You can feel better, take it from me Just look at the colors of the falling autumn leaves Let them put you at ease (Chorus) As long as we have the weather The dark skies that bind us will send the clear day to remind us As long as we have the weather The sunlight will guide us and the rainbows will surely find us God created changing seasons not in vain The beauty of the weather's here for some distraction from our pain Let a warm summer's night romance you Let a winter's snow fall entrance you You don't have to pay nothing to take in the view (Bridge) Let the winter winds blow your pain away Let the blue sky be your secret getaway I got the antidote to keep you cool You should loosen up because nature has no rules Chorus Bridge Chorus |

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind Give me more than one grasp To satisfy this hungriness We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins Like a leaf clings to a tree Baby please cling to me We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins And you kiss me With your kiss my life begins Love me, love me, say you do Let me fly away with you |

I've been 'neath the moon before
Held by the charms of other arms I heard love's old tune before And it used to bore me 'till you stood before me You're my thrill You do something to me You send chills right through me When I look at you 'cause you're my thrill, You're my thrill How my pulse increases I just go to pieces When I look at you 'cause you're my thrill Hm Nothing seems to matter Hm Here's my heart on a silver platter Where's my will? Why this strange desire? That keeps mounting higher When I look at you I cant keep still You're my thrill Thrill |

I touch your hands
And my heart grows strong, Like a pair of birds That burst with song. My eyes look down At your lovely face, And I hold a world In my embrace. Younger than springtime, are you Softer than starlight, are you, Warmer than winds of June, Are the gentle lips you gave me. Gayer than laughter, are you, Sweeter than music, are you, Angel and lover, heaven and earth, Are you to me. And when your youth And joy invade my arms, And fill my heart as now they do, Then younger than springtime, am I, Gayer than laughter, am I, Angel and lover, heaven and earth, Am I with you! And when your youth And joy invade my arms, And fill my heart as now they do, Then younger than springtime, am I, Gayer than laughter, am I, Angel and lover, heaven and earth, Am I with you |

Your eyes greeted mine
And whispered softly, slowly A secret only for me Your eyes took there sweet time Silently penetrating mine Sent a wave through me, through me Straight through me, through me Spoke to me, solely Just to me Your eyes, the sleepy kind So still and warm I had to dive So deeply, deeply To your meaning, meaning Those eyes, round and sweet Fruit they were, I had a piece And they fill me, fill me So full and sweetly Spoke to me, solely Just to me Sleepy eyes Will we meet again Do my eyes Make you feel like I'm feeling (Ad lib runs till end) |
