I Am Fine
04:46
|
|||
|
There was a time when I had everything
You on my mind you made me sing
I'd look to you like an only child
Why do I keep the joker wild
I laid my heart upon my ragged sleeve
I never thought you'd ever leave
I vowed to you to be ever true
I am now decidedly blue
Chorus
I am low and feeling left
I am left and feeling low
I will learn from my mistake
What to give and what to take
I am low
Walkin' downtown my own best friend
When will the phone calls ever end
I stopped waiting by the phone
From now on I'm gonna be alone
I am low and feeling left
I am left feeling low
I will learn from my mistake
What to give and what to take
I won't give anymore
I wont wait at the door
Like a blind man I see
LIke a bird I am free
Chorus
I am fine and feeling left
I am left feeling fine
I will learn from this mistake
How much to give and never take
REPEAT LAST CHORUS
I am fine
I am fine, my mistake
I am fine, I am fine, I am fine.

Roots
03:07
|
|||
|
Some people livin' high on the hog
I live the simple life with no problems at all
These are my roots, these are my roots
The tracks were my friend
The old half tonne barely ran
I got six siblings gone
But I am not alone
These are my roots, I'm not alone, hey hey
Chorus:
My roots grow strong and deep
I can feel it in my feet
From my head to my toes
And the earth down below
These are my roots
Now some peeps have changed
And t'other way
I'm diggin my own trench
Gonna fight till I'm dead
These are my roots, I 'll move ahead
Repeat Chorus
Now don't think of me
Old fashioned and square
I want my 45's
And still know I can jive
These are my roots
I'm 45 and I can jive!
Repeat Chorus

Deceived
03:35
|
|||
|
Seems like every time I start somethin'
Its breaks apart like bread in my hands
I met you and I dreamed of heaven
But what we had seeped through like sand
Chorus:
Deceived
Broken and betrayed
Deceived
It cannot stay this way
Only my heart tells the truth
Of my next move
Where am I going to?
Now every time I see you in the street
It makes me want to scream out loud
How can you smile and say "see ya soon"?
All I want is to run and shout
Chorus
Break
Even when your heart is healed and done
And the tide is going out
I thought I could stand alone again
But I wish I had never met you before
I was....
Deceived....
Of my next move.

I'm goin' home on a flight named number ninety nine
The clouds will part the sea will wave me in to my shore
I'm goin' home to the family is always there
They stand alone and far away I'm gettin' near
To English Bay on a summers day
English Bay
Yea....
On Sunset Beach no snow on the reach

I'm goin home the people tall
The buildings small
The rent is due they can't sue me for my shoes
On English Bay on a summers day
English Bay
On Sunset Beach no snow on the reach
Is Sunset Beach
Don't fade away English Bay
Behind the mist
If you're gonna leave
Please take me
Cause I'd surely miss
English Bay on a summers day
English Bay
On Sunset Beach
No snow on the reach
English Bay on a summers day
On Sunset Beach
No snow on the reach is Sunset Beach
Repeat and fade....

I Know I've Been Changed

I know I've been changed
I know I've been changed
I know I've been changed
angels in Heaven done signed my name
Well if you don't believe that I've been redeemer
you know the (angels in Heaven done signed my name)
oh follow me down to that old Jordan stream
angels in Heaven done signed my name
I stepped in the water and the water was cold
you know the angels in Heaven done signed my name
oh it chilled my body but not my soul
angels in Heaven done signed my name

Will Ye Go Lassie Go
03:36
|
|||
|
Oh the summertime is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
Chorus
And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?
I will build my love a tower
Near yon' pure crystal fountain
And on it I will build
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, Lassie go?
If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie go?

Different
04:59
|
|||
|
I've seen you before
But not in this skin
I've seen your face before
But all in a dream
I've seen this before
But this time its gonna be different
I know it'll be different
It's gonna be different this time
With only you my friend
Take this hand I offer
It only happens once
Once and then it's over
But it's not over (its not over)
No its not over (its not over)
Its only just begun
To really make a difference
Yea, we're gonna make a difference
You and I
We can be different
If we try
Let's make a difference
You and I
It can be very very very different
This time
Mmmm....yea
Birds of a feather
They're gonna stick together
You can try and tear us apart
But you won't get far
No you won't get far
We're gonna stick together
Those birds of a feather
You can try and tear us apart
But you won't get far
We'll stick together
Birds of a feather
They always stick together.

I'm Waiting
05:40
|
|||
|
I'm waiting for a change in my life
I'm waiting for a time that feels right
I'm waiting inside a world of lost souls
They're also waiting for a time to grow old
And Its all inside our minds
And we'll go on living
Time after time
Though they tell us
That they'll send us all that we need
By the time it gets here
We're no longer in need
We're waiting...
I'm waiting for the wall to break down
I'm waiting for a war to break out
I'm waiting for I cannot help the poor
They're also waiting for the food at their door
Chorus
We're all waiting for God to help us cope
We're all searching for a glimmer of hope
We'll all be waiting for a long long time
Cause the answers we're looking for are deep, deep inside
Chorus....

Leave Her Alone
03:46
|
|||
|
All that it took was the touch of his hand
Caressing a baby who could barely even stand
How can we know what really happened there
This baby's face looks so scared
Leave her alone
She's only a baby
Leave her alone
She's just a child
And now that it's over
Doesn't mean she's OK
Its only just begun
Her life has just begun
It took a load of courage to do what she's done
It took a lot off her teenage years
She's lost all she'd won
She's burnin up in inside
Help her to put out the fire
You're all she requires
CHORUS X2
Spoken Word:
Mom: And tell Mommy again what you said you'd do to him if he came in here?
Child: I said I'm gonna kick his ask.
Mom: Oh, thats not nice.
Child: If he gonna come in here, he's gonna kick my ask
Mom: He will?
Child: Yea, he'll come out of the movie, he'll come out, he'll come out and kick my ask, but I can kick his ask.
Mom: But that's not a nice word, you should say kick his butt
Child: Oh......

Wayfaring Stranger
03:16
|
|||
|
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A-traveling through, this world of woe.
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land, to which I go.
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam;
I'm just go-ing over Jordan
I'm just go-ing over home.
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep;
Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come;
I'm just go-ing over Jordan
I'm just go-ing over home.
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm just go-ing over home.

Walk Over Water
03:05
|
|||
|
Dominus Sanctus Amen Amen
Everyday's a constant struggle
In the world we're all in trouble
Turn on the TV
Propaganda runnin' wild
We're all like children in a playground
Never knowing when we'll fall
Take my hand
A better world
Waits ahead
CHORUS
Then we'll walk over water
Yes we'll walk over water
Oh we'll walk over water
To the other side
Yeah....Oh....ohhh
Feed the children kill the forests
We're all blind until they show us
Nothin' left now
Unless we all
Take control
CHORUS

Kimelly
05:08
|
|||
|
Spoken: She came from the wilderness
She danced like fire
Like spark to a flame
She drank my desire
Your eyes
They shine in the night
And your smile
It gleams like a childs
When you walk all the world revolves around you
Never looking back on what they say or do
In time
You never tapped your feet
And with your mind
There was always a guarantee
I've always wondered
How two young hearts could know so well
They'd be the best of friends
CHORUS:
So open your heart, your heart baby
And feel me inside you
I warm the cold, the cold, the cold
Held captive inside your soul
Kimelly
Yea....
So now
Your show is on the line
And you've moved up
But they're not crying, no they're not crying
So all you've missed is the tears for your compassion
Nobody sees the love that is shot from your heart
Chorus
Vocal Break:
No no no.....
Um cha um cha um cha

Garden Of Eden
02:16
|
|||
|
He's out by the campfire
Jivin' with Doreen
Pitchin his fastball mighty fine
Smokin and swearin
Don't care whose carin'
In his Garden of Eden in the shade
Pickled his own onions
Stood his ground like a warrior
Grass was always greener on the other side
He wrangled seven children
Chief of the fire
In his Garden of Eden in the sun
Oh... he can fly
He is free to be
Dancin with angels
Shakin hands with Elvis
Walkin the bases with Satchel Paige
Meetin Ma and Daddy
Plantin his own 'taters
But thats nothing compared to his
Garden of Eden in the stars
Oh in the stars

Muddy Water
02:24
|
|||
|
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
You can look for me when you see me comin'
I may be runnin' I don't know
I may be tired and runnin' fever
But I'll be headed south to the mouth of the Ohio
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride
Well, I been down to the pain and sorrow
Of no tomorrows comin' in
But I put my pole to the river bottom
And I've got to hide some place and find myself again
Look out for me, oh muddy water
Your mysteries are deep and wide
And I got a need for going some place
And I got a need to climb upon your back and ride

The Water Is Wide
05:15
|
|||
|
The water is wide, I can-not cross o'er.
And neither have I the wings to fly.
Build me a boat that can carry two,
And both shall row, my true love and I.
A ship there is and she sails the seas.
She's laden deep, as deep can be;
But not so deep as the love I'm in
And I know not if I sink or swim.
I leaned my back up against a young oak
Thinking he were a trusty tree
but first he bended and then he broke
Thus did my love prove false to me.
O love is handsome and love is kind
and loves a jewel while it is new
but when its old love it growth cold
And fades away like the morning dew.

Missing You
04:05
|

|
Well the wind is blowin the trees are swayin
And I don't know what I should be sayin
I'm missing you
Well the sand is hot
I could have forgot
I'm here where I
want to be not
And I'm missing you
Chorus:
I......I'm missing you
I......I'm missing you
I feel the pain
My heart's on fire
To be with you
Hey come back you got my heart
Baby I'm torn apart
To be with you
Nothin else will do!
Chorus
I...I'm missing you
I...I'm missing you
I...I'm missing you
I...I'm missing you
Whoa...

DANCING WITH TEARS IN MY EYES
Those who dance and romance while they dance
They seem so happy and gay
Though they sing and they swing as they sway
Somehow I can't feel that way
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my heart's calling to
Trying to smile once in a while
But I find it so hard to do
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Trying to smile once in a while
But I find it so hard to do
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
