STONE COLD RAGE
Stone cold rage in the alleway
Something like I ain’t never see
I been out to California
I been to St. Augustine
Something’s happening in the back woods
And it’s spreading out like water
Stone cold rage in the hinterland
Mama’s gonna be a martyr

I ain’t saying that I don’t understand
I ain’t saying we don’t all need to be free
I ain’t saying I’ve got some better plan
But I ain’t asking no one to follow me

Stone cold rage in the alleway
Something like I ain’t never see
I been out to California
I been to St. Augustine
Something’s happening in the back woods
And it’s spreading out like water
Stone cold rage in the hinterland
Mama’s gonna be a martyr

People talking ‘bout a revolution
People talking ‘bout taking it to the streets
Some folks saying there’s no solution
Some folks ain’t waiting ‘round to see

I ain’t saying that I don’t understand
I ain’t saying we don’t all need to be free
I ain’t saying I’ve got some better plan
But I ain’t asking no one to follow me

Stone cold rage in the alleway
Something like I ain’t never see
I been out to California
I been to St. Augustine
Something’s happening in the back woods
And it’s spreading out like water
Stone cold rage in the hinterland
Mama’s gonna be a martyr
Mama’s gonna be a martyr
Mama’s gonna be a martyr

Stone cold rage

Mama’s gonna be a martyr

DRAWN THAT WAY
Where is your mansion? How much did it cost?
Is that your or Jesus on the cross?
What made you cross that line? Was it the boy next door?
Do you like yourself better now than before?

Cartoon savior
No matter what you say
You’re not really a man of God
You’re just drawn that way

Where were your disciples when you were living on the streets?
Before you figured out how to make ends meet
Now you get to judge everyone not just those on trial
Where do you find room for all that denial?

Cartoon savior
We all pay to play
You can’t really see the light
You’re just drawn that way

Cartoon savior
How do you spell prey?
You can’t  stop yourself from lying
You’re just drawn...

PRESSURE UNDER FIRE
Just another song about the same thing, so many have been written
By now you’d think we’d know better
Maybe just one lonely voice is never gonna be enough
We’ve all got to sing it together

We’re all fighting the same fight
We’re all traveling down life’s road
There’s only so much you can do by yourself
People, we got to share the load
Yeah we got to share the load
The next sound you hear, pressure under fire
Living in fear of what we don’t understand
It all seems so clear, pressure under fire
Ain’t no way to live in this land

We all know how this ends, so many times, so many places
By now you’d think we’d have learned
From any one of those times that it blew up in your faces
How many times can you be burned
We keep on moving in the wrong direction
We keep on heading down the same old track
There’s only so much you can take
Only so many times, we can turn our backs
People, we can’t keep turning our backs
The next sound you hear, pressure under fire
Living in fear of what we don’t understand
It all seems so clear, pressure under fire
Ain’t no way to live in this land
Amd a wise man said
“Human race is the only race
You can’t dispel darkness with darkness”
It’s been said so many times
We got to learn to work together if we’re gonna get out of this mess

Just another song about the same thing, so many have been sung
By now you’d think we’d know better
The next sound you hear
Pressure under fire
We’re living in fear of what we don’t understand
It all seems so clear, pressure under fire
Ain’t no way to live in this land

Pressure under fire
Living in fear of what we don’t understand
It all seems so clear, pressure under fire
Ain’t no way to live in this land
No way to live, oh
No way to live in this land

THE MAN I WANT TO BE
I’m here today because there’s some things I want to get off my chest
Some things I’m just starting to realize
They say as we get older we get wiser
I don’t know if that’s true
But I know a fog’s been lifted from my eyes

You see it seems sometimes when someone wins
That someone has to lose
And I’m afraid I’ve been the winner too much
When it comes to me and you, baby
You’ve always been there
There were times when I was gone
And you needed my touch

But you know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
I can be everything those people see, everything
But I can’t be the man I want to be

I refused to listen, baby, when you tried to tell me so many times
I was headed down a wrong-way street
I got this one-way ticket, baby, I think I might have to cash it in
Maybe coming home would be the best thing for me

You see I don’t want to lose you and if I do nobody wins
I know it’s up to me to make it right this time
So give me one more chance, baby, I swear I won’t let you down
Take my hand, let me say what’s on my mind

I’m here today
Because there’s so many things I want to say
Some things I finally realized
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
I don’t know if that’s really true
But I know I drid a thousand tears from my eyes

And you know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
I can be everything those people see, everything
I can’t be the man I want to be

You know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
I can be everything those people see, everything
I can’t seem to be the man I want to be

I can’t be the man I want to be
I can’t be the man I want to
I can’t be the man i want to be

I can’t be the man I want to be

You know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me

TRAVELING TUNE
Just another highway song
Just another traveling tune
They say sing about what you know

Well, hello people, it’s been a long time
So good to see you, how ya’ feeling?
It’s good to be together, even for a shor while
Nothing like a little rocking and reeling

So many familiar faces
Scattered in with the new ones
We got to keep spreading the word
You keep on coming
We’ll keep on coming back
Even when the lines are getting blurred

Just another highway song
Just another traveling tune
They say sing about what you know
Well, I know I’ve been down this road a time or two
So, let’s sing another road song before we go

Here’s one for the fallen ones that didn’t make it through
This life’s challenges and pressures
We gotta keep on rising, keep singing in their honor
Maybe even enjoy some of life’s pleasures

Just another highway song
Just another traveling tune
They say sing about what you know

They say “How many road songs can you write?”
As many as it takes to get it right
Here’s one I just wrote the other day
Let’s sing it, then be on our way
I try to inject myself into the show,
It’s all I know

Well, goodbye people, we’ll see you down the road
Some other time, some other place
And we’ll raise our voices, maybe even a glass in toast
To those that can never be replaced

Just another highway song
Just another traveling tune
They say sing about what you know
Well, I know this old heart’s been broken a time or two
So, let’s sing another sad one before we go

Just another highway song
Just another traveling tune
They say sing about what you know

THORNS OF LIFE
Let me take you on a hillside, clouds streaming overhead
I can’t take these lies, hanging over my head
Better off leaving it behind, running away instead

Thorns of life seem to be penetrating my soul
Something is fading in me, something’s taking its toll
Hard to stay a step ahead when you’re losing control

Takes everything I can do, just to make it through these times
I’ve got to get back to you, gotta make it this time

Dying inside till I feel you
Burning on my skin
Under the moonlight I’ll reveal you
Again and again

Thorns of life seem to be penetrating my soul
Something is fading in me, something’s taking its toll
Hard to stay a step ahead when you’re losing, oh you’re losing control

Let me, let me, let me feel you

Let me feel you
One more day
One more day
Gimme one more day

Dying inside till I feel you
Burning on my skin
Under the moonlight I’ll reveal you
Again and again

Dying inside till I feel you
Under the moonlight I’ll reveal you
Again and again and again and again

Let me take you on a hillside, clouds streaming overhead

DREAMS & SONGS
My whole life’s been filled with songs and dreams
When I was a child I had a time machine
Little did I know, it would go too fast
Little did I know, you could see the future but no the past

Leave it all behind, come what may
Always thought I’d be coming home someday
Little did I know, life is hard
Here I am now, staring out a window at my old back yard

Is there any comfort to be derived in knowing that most of our lives
Can never be the same, we can never go back home
And those that can are lucky, I guess
To somehow escape from this mess
Me, I can only do it in dreams and songs

Trying to fill a hole while running a race
Leaves an even bigger empty space
But a moving target is harder to kill
Never was one for taking it easy or standing still

Nowadays I find myself again
Throwing stones and caution to the wind
Nothing’s really changed but the scenery
And staring in to my child’s eyes, I realize what it all means to me

Is there any comfort to be derived in knowing that most of our lives
Can never be the same, you can never go back home
And those that can are lucky, I guess
To somehow escape from this mess
Me, I can only do it in dreams and songs

Is there any comfort to be derived in knowing that most of our lives
Can never be the same, you can never go back home
And those than can are lucky, I guess
To somehow escape from this mess
Me, I can only do it in dreams and songs

Dreams and songs

SARAH, SURRENDER
For so long I’ve been watching you
Never thought I could out through the distance
Woman, I know what you’ve been through
And I understand your resistance

But somthing’s different today
I feel you breaking away

Sarah surrender yourself to me
We will always remember the day we broke free
I feel your heart beating faster, I think it’s finally time
Sarah surrender your soul into mine

From the first moment that you looked at me
I couldn’t catch my breath
I wanted to be part of your mystery
But it scares me to death

But somthing’s different today
I feel me breaking away

Sarah surrender yourself to me
We will always remember the day we broke free
I feel your heart beating faster, I think it’s finally time
Sarah surrender your soul into mine

But somthing’s different today
I feel us breaking away

Sarah surrender yourself to me
We will always remember the day we broke free
I feel your heart beating faster, I think it’s finally time
(Sarah surrender), oh come on now
(Sarah surrender), oh surrender
(Sarah surrender), your soul into mine

Surrender your soul into...

REVOLUTION COME, REVOLUTION GO
Smiling in the face of your enemies
They can’t kill your dreams
New faces are welcome down at the meeting place
Where the gold of the future brightly gleams

Down the street you hear the sound of confusion
Echoing like a million voices
On the wave of a wind you may ride
But only if you’re not scared to fall

I think this change is here to stay, don’t you know
Revolution come, revolution go

New master riding in on a white horse
All the new kings with their feet of clay
Lying to the people about some new deal
Cump change happens everyday

People in the streets raising their voices high
Trying to be heard over the thunder
World is rumbling and trembling
Is it some spell that we’re under?

I think this change is here to stay, don’t you know
Revolution come, revolution go

Sun is rising on a sinking town
Don’t let us die before the sun goes down
Bells ringing in the hope of a brand new day

We come flying on the wings of a song
Singing the message of right and wrong
Keep on ringing them bells for the brand new day
For the brand new day

Keep on ringing them bells
For the brand new day

Smiling in the face of your enemies
They can’t kill your dreams
I think this change is here to stay, don’t you know
Revolution come, revolution go

BURNING POINT
Are we that much different? Tell me what can bring us together
Drawing lines in the sand, never does make things any better
We’re testing ourselves to see if we’re gonna survive
All this rampant stupidity seems to be spreading like fire

We’re pushing it to the burning point
Whole thing’s going up in flames
Somebody tell me
Has the whole world gone insane?

We protect ourselves, guess we’re wired that way
But who is the enemy at the end of the day?
Locking each other out, is only locking ourselves in
Solitary solitude, ain’t never gonna be our friend

Push it to the burning point
Whole thing’s going up in flames
Somebody tell me
Has the whole world gone insane?

Burning point, us in all our glory
And when the smoke finally clears
Ain’t nothing left but the story

Keep on pushing it
Keep on pushing it

Hell, we keep on testing ourselves to see if we’re gonna survive
Burning point, whole thing’s going up in flames
Somebody tell me has the whole world gone insane?

We push it to the burning point, us in all our glory
And when the smoke finally clears, yeah
And when the smoke finally clears, I said
And when the smoke finally clears
Ain’t nothing left but the story

Ain’t nothing left
Ain’t nothing left but the story

Ain’t nothing left but the story

EASY TIMES
I remember laying under the stars, showered by moonlight
No thoughts for tomorrow
Nothing to do but live our lives, the way we choose
No time for sorrow
Running the distance of the day before our skies turned grey
Those were easy times
You were oh, so easy on my mind
Everyday was another journey just to see what we might find
Those were easy times

I remember hiding from the world, kissed by the rain
Walking arm in arm
No one could tear us apart, we were always even stronger
After the storm
Back then even the darkest night
Somehow gave way to the light
Those were easy times
You were oh, so easy on my mind
Everyday was another journey just to see what we might find
Those were easy times

Looking back we can never really see, where things went wrong
Or why we couldn’t save it
We didn’t know that time was such a precious thing, we let it slip away
Now it all seems so crazy
In the end, life got so much harder and we turned on earch other
But I remember those easy times

You were oh, so easy on my mind, those were easy times
Everyday was another journey just to see what we might find
Those were easy times
I can see the whole world in your eyes
Those were easy times
Now and then I still can and it feels just like a sunrise

Easy times

I can see the whole world in your eyes
Oh, I know it’s easy time
Now and then I still can, still it feels, feels just like a sunrise
(You were so easy on my mind)
Feels like a sunrise

DARK WAS THE NIGHT, COLD WAS THE GROUND
Dark was the night and cold was the ground

Blue on one side, black is on the other
We all see red and it’s defining our color
Are we in a hurry to see what happens in the end?
If we don’t find a new start the end is nigh, my friend

Dark was the night and cold was the ground

Rue the day that we can’t live together
Cuts so deep that they keep bleeding forever
Are we so blind, can’t see the road ahead
Travelling to somewhere we’d be better off dead

Dark was the night
And cold was the ground
