This Road 03:10
This Road At the start of a journey, Is a heart that is learning To be free of the troubles in the world But it wont be satisfied, if the journey is a lie An illusion there to keep him pacified I know this road is for me I know it's here I'll be free I know its here I'll find I I know its here, I know its now So I put my best foot forward and I decide to go So I might find some beauty in the world Let the beauty be my guide, Let the beauty make me smile So I might escape this branded life Oh how I've longed to be free To break these shackles that were holding me (But) I know that those shackles are (in) my mind (They) were the very structures that were wound up in time. At the heart of a journey is a heart that is learning To be true to the colour of his soul He must make that colour shine, reflect in other's eyes And fill all the world with his light I know this road is for me I know it's here I'll be free I know its here I'll find I I know its here, I know its now Oh how I've longed to be free To break these shackles that were holding me I know that those shackles were (in) my mind They were the very structures that were wound up in time.

Better Day 05:41
Better Day Well I'm sick of hypocrisy and I'm sick of lies And I'm sick of the wool that's been over my eyes And I'm sick of them and I'm sick of me All I really want, is a better way to see I can see the future and it's looking pretty dim I'm looking at my past and now I never seem to win All that I can't see is what's right before my eyes I'm going to have to change that, I'm going to have to try Now there is no future, Now there is no past There is just this moment and this moment wasn't meant to last I'm gonna to gather all my tears and fears and throw them all away Make this my better day I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of being alone And I'm tired of always feeling like I'm running on a rolling stone I'm tired of doing what you want and I just want to be me Well what I'd really like: Is to be free (I) just want to be Now there is no future, Now there is no past There is just this moment and this moment wasn't meant to last I'm gonna gather all my tears and fears and throw them all away Make this my better day Now there is no future, Now there is no past There is just this moment and this moment wasn't meant to last Gather all your tears your fears and throw them all away Make this your better day...Yeah!

Evermore 04:21
Evermore Something I saw in your face Looked in my eyes and said "hey lets get out of this place" Well you were my perfect escape Just one of life's little chances coming my way I wish that I could look in your eyes And see that our world is a box of old toys We'd play our game, it'd all be the same as ever before And Evermore I tend to a victim of circumstance It's always been the wrong girl, the wrong day, the wrong time or the wrong place But the first time I saw your beautiful face I hoped my bad timing was changing I wish that I could look in your eyes And break through the lies that we use to survive You said to me that we never can be I, I guess I agreed I wish that I could look in your eyes And see that our world is a box of old toys We'd play our game, it'd all be the same as ever before Evermore, Evermore, Evermore, Evermore.

Losing My Mind If I ever lost you, I would go and find you If you couldn't remember, I would remind you If you ever get tangled, I would unwind you Losing you would be like losing my mind I will never put any other before you I will always love you, I will always adore you And I'll do my very best never ever to bore you Losing you would be like losing my mind Sing it in the mountain(s), Sing it at sea, Sing it in the river, Sing it in the streets, (That) I'm so glad I found you, and that you found me, Losing you would be like, Losing my mind. When I'm lost and lonely, You are here beside me When I want no one to see me, I go to you to hide me You mostly make me smile but, Sometimes you annoy me Losing you would be like losing my mind Sing it in the mountain, Sing it at sea, Sing it in the river, Sing it in the streets, I'm so glad I found you, and that you found me, Losing you would be like, Losing my mind. Sing it in the mountains, Sing it at sea, Sing it in the river, Sing it in the streets, That I'm so glad I found you, and that you found me, Losing you would be like, Losing my mind. Sing it in the mountain(s), Sing it at sea, Sing it in the river, Sing it in the streets, I'm so glad I found you, and that you found me, Losing you would be like, Losing my mind. Losing you would be like, Losing my mind.

St. Stephen's Day The rain is falling down again another year On St. Stephen's day The turkey and the ham are cold I've always felt that they taste best that way Santa in his Coca Cola Suit Is sleeping in his sleigh He will sleep for a couple weeks But he's waking up much earlier each year Now the kids are bored with all the toys That they got yesterday And ring-a-ring-a-rosy Is their favorite game today Mama's trying to get some rest She's too tired to play And we're all tired of Christmas On St. Stephen's Day I'm so sick of chocolate now That I can hardly breath It's pushed out all my Christmas cheer With all the other things I didn't need I'm too full to eat another bite As the morning fades away And the day it slowly melts into the night Now I'm going out to play Now I'm probably going to take a drop And I'll meet all my old friends Now that the day is over And the night is here again And we'll talk about the good times And our friends who've gone away How the best thing about Christmas Is St. Stephen's Day.

Everything Is Fine (I Don't Mind) It was a natural funny thing to do Yeah, I thought it was funny too But I wonder if you'd laugh if it happened to you You were drunk and foolish, didn't fool around But I wonder what I would have found If I was a fly on the wall You woke up with a mighty fright And you wondered if you might have done something wrong But then you laughed, said I wouldn't mind, nothing happened, Everything was fine Everything is fine You know I wouldn't mind If you didn't talk about it all the time Jealousy is a funny thing Everyone loses cause there's nothing to win But I look at the world the way I look at myself If I was drunk in your bed with somebody else How would it feel? How would it feel? Would everything be fine? If I laughed about it all the time? Everything is fine I don't mind Just don't laugh about it all the time

I have Seen The Light I have seen the light I stepped out of the endless night For too long now I've been in this cloud I've been held down and I couldn't get out Now I'm free, I'm FREE I do not hear the ticking clock I broke the chain, I've picked the lock I'm breaking down that door I'm FREE I have seen the light I stepped out of the endless night Every day was a bitter dream I could not wake, I could not scream Now I'm screaming, I'm FREE There's a world of color Vibrant Lights No more the dull, the black, the white They're all free, they're FREE I have seen the light I stepped out of the endless night I have seen the light I have seen the light, light, light I have seen the light.

Naked 03:43
Naked Eve told Adam forbidden fruit, it was the one with all the juice And that's what Adam told the Lord It leaves a bitter aftertaste, but that's the way with most mistakes I'd put it down to another lesson learned He took a bite it made him fly, for a minute he could taste the sky But back at Eden's gates I heard him crying Back at Eden's gates I heard him crying Save me I'm Naked, I can't take it anymore There's poison running through my veins It's killing me but I want more Chew it up I can't spit it out Forbidden fruit we don't talk about it Outside the gates I hear the serpent call. Fight it fight it make it strong, it feels so good it can't be wrong But tomorrow will you sing a different song It's her fault it can't be you, is she a poison apple or forbidden fruit? Oooorr forbidden fruit? You took a bite it made you high, for a minute you were a different guy But just like Adam I can hear you crying Just like Adam I can hear you crying. Save me I'm Naked, I can't take it anymore There's poison running through my veins It's killing me but I want more Chew it up I can't spit it out Forbidden fruit we don't talk about it Outside the gates I hear the serpent call.

Out Of The Cold I should have sealed it with a kiss Why do I always let it end like this I feel like such a fool When the doors of my heart open up to you I don't need you, but I feel you You're weaved into my soul If it feels good, you know you should Let me in out of the cold If we move a little closer And we just lay here for a while You'd maybe look into my sad brown eyes Maybe you can make them smile I don't need you, but I feel you You're weaved into my soul If it feels good, you know you should Let me in out of the cold I don't need you, but I feel you You're weaved into my soul If it feels good, you know you should Let me in out of the cold Let me in out of the cold

May The Road Rise May the road rise up to meet you May your heart be filled with joy That there's a friend in every stranger And you soul will always shine with the light That glows around you That the light will always guide you And there's ten smiles for every frown No thing will upset you Or ever bring you down for too long Keep on smiling My thoughts will be with you, as you journey on And when a day it comes again That you wish to return Our arms are always open And we'll be glad to learn of the road That you have wandered And should dark days come upon you May you soon again be strong Fear not any evil Know that you belong to the light That shines around you This prayer will be with you, as you journey on May the road rise up to meet you May you walk on it with grace May the beauty that it shows you Put a smile upon your face And you keep on smiling My love will be with you, as you journey on
