Children's Lullaby
Little girl was down by the waterside
The sun so hot and the roses so red where she lie
As little boys sit and watch as she twirls all around
Sunny smiles not a raincloud could bring that girl down
But now...
What's behind those big brown eyes
Do you dream at night
Without your lullaby
Little boy sits alone as he sings in the dark
Wondering if his own dreams had pulled them apart
He sings a song of tomorrow he never can see
Mostly sings of a lost little girl's memory
And now...
As his dreams go flashing by
He begins to hear
A lonely lullaby
Well now...
We used to sing
And we used to cry
Through everything
In our children's lullaby
Little girl on the street with nobody around
Has her head in the air dirty feet on the ground
She shuts her eyes and wonders if this is a mistake
Now she's gone from the warmth of her little boy days
And still...
She believes that she'll get by
On her own without
Her little boy's lullaby
Little boy prays to God to answer his song
To hold her hand when everyone else's are gone
Time goes by and the wounds slowly turn into scars
So he makes his final wish on the midnight stars
And he screams...
Little girl won't you hear my cry
Won't you come back home
To your lover's lullaby
Little girl down by the waterside
Goodbye
Footprints in the Snow
Seems like only yesterday
But it started long ago
Trials tribulations
And notes in the autumn nights
We didn't know way back then
What brothers we really were
Letting the time pass quickly
And watching it go
But we stood together
And we made each other strong
We tried to comfort ourselves when the nights were long
And we held back the tears
When they needed to flow
But where we once stood lie only footprints in the snow
Even when it was hard
To find a smiling face
And when others would leave us
Without a trace
We never thought about tomorrow
Or what she might bring
We never stopped to realize
That we might not always sing
Chorus
Seems like only testerday
God where'd the time go
Where we once laughed lie only tears in the snow
Liberty
We met as two total strangers
As many lovers often do
But who could have ever seen the danger
I didn't know I'd fall in love with you
You are this lonely picker's daydream
Like a wish that's wishing to come true
So Liberty just now I'm waiting
To share this love song with you
But do you think about me when you're lying in his bed
Won't you take the time to expalain
Do you ever think you'd rather be with me instead
Or do you only think about me when it rains
We shared some special nights together
We said we'd watch the morning rise
But when the sun was all around us
Wasn't nothing I hadn't seen in your eyes
I try so hard to keep it hidden
But I am hurting deep inside
For every time I've seen you smile
There are two times that I have cried
Chorus
Now and forever my love will be the same
I will be waiting underneath the pouring rain
Lines Upon Your Face
A small group of boys walks down the street
Throwing a ball in the air
One says to another
Hey I'll always be your brother
I'll always be your friend
Do you remember
When we thought we were immortal
And the games we played always had a happy end
But in the game of life all the roses wither
And time writes its lines upon your face
Summers here and three young men
Drive through the town in the night air
When fall comes they'll part again
One turns to another and he says
Chorus
It's three a.m. and he's been feeling lonely
Work's been hard and the city's hard too
He picks up the phone and halfway across the country
A brother listens to his blues
He says
Chorus
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now
Sometimes I wish
That we all were immortal
And the game of life always had a happy end
But I know it's not true oh time keeps passing
But I'm just glad to spend my time with you
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for brotherhood right now
Lift your voices loud and clearly
Sing for sisterhood right now
Love's Light
Well I know that no one is to blame
But do you feel my strength when you call my name
'Cause I feel yours inside
How could this be more right
And I have travelled through my mind
I've given all my dreams up to time
Tell me what else can I do
Well I'm nothing wothout you
But you, you just don't know what to do
I guess I'll have to lose my love for you
These feelings cannot stay
'Cause I'm withering away
I'm withering away
Withering away
And teardrops are all that I can give
But do you really know what true love is
Don't let it slip away
This doesn't happen everyday
And you'd have no problems without me
So take this song as my apology
But you have closed my eyes
And love's light shall never rise
Shall never rise on me
Shall never rise
It shall never rise
And I'm scared I'll never hold you again
But I know that no one is to blame
On the Sea
No fog clear in the moonlight
The stars shine so bright now's the time
I close my eyes
Soft wind touch my face
Cool sand upon the place where I once kissed you
And held you close
Now I will reach for the stars
Because
Oh my love that's where you are
Though the storms of black night rage on
I still see your face
I still feel your lips on mine
And though my heart feels all alone without you
I still hear you sing to me
I still hear your voice on the sea
Waves crash break the silence
Gulls cry their song of lament
I walk on through the stormy night
The air cries flash of anger
Dark night enshrouds the stranger
All alone
Without you
Now I will reach for the stars
Because
Oh my love that's where you are
Chorus
The Mountain Song
This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive
It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time
If you're lost and you need someone to count on
Oh you've got to look to me
Because it's times like these when a good friend is a saviour
Oh you come running on back to me
It's time now
We must be moving onward
It's time for us to fly
Take care and look over your shoulder
I'm there all the time
And someday when you're feeling awkward
And someday when you're down
Come to me I will give you anything
I'll turn your frown around
What you've done for me is more than I could hope for
Oh you are my friend
And I'll be there for you through happiness and sad times
Oh our love will pull us through
This mountain we must climb over
This mountain we must climb
I will follow you over
We will survive
Trying to Find Purpose
Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind
The wind and your love to carry me
Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But I know in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy
In jealousy
Chorus
Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind
Chorus
To carry me
Please carry me
Willingly
When I was just just a young boy
My mama said to me
Don't fall in love willingly
Now that is all forgotten
Unwilling memory
But if you change your mind
I will walk the line
I'll follow...
Willingly
We used to talk about it
But now it seems the wind has blown your way
And I have come to doubt it
That you and I will ever love again
'Cause good enough is one thing
That I will never be
And I admit it all
Willingly
And now the times are changing
The things I've seen before don't look the same
My life is rearranging
But falls apart with whispers of your name
And though I swear to love you
With all sincerity
I'll slowly fade away
Willingly
The sun is on my shoulders
Perhaps it's colder for I've lost some pride
Or maybe it's the absence
Of all the joy I felt right by your side
And when the storm was over
I found your memory
And I will hold it warm
Willingly
