In The Moment
Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
Thats bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea
In the moment you take possession
Itll all disappear and theres the lesson
And the minute you think its over
Say the word and your dream
Is coming back
All the way
I followed the road that was real to me
And suddenly
You take it for granted
And things dont turn out
Like you planned
When you think youve found
What is good and true
Through the open door
It can really turn on you
So here we are
We look for the light in so many eyes
And in our life
When hope starts to fade
Theres a strength that
We give to each other
Walking in the sky over everyone
Head above the coulds
As were touching the sun

Hope
Written by gerry beckley, 1994
Found on hourglass.
Theres a clock timing the world as it turns
Theres a man marking the candle as it burns
Keeping track of every minute that remains
Still we hope somehow
Its gonna be alright
Its gonna turn out fine
Theres a light shining beyond the southern cross
Burning bright for everyone of us whos lost
More than faith more than a reason to go on
Rise on up knowing
Youre gonna win the fight
Its gonna turn out fine
You gotta hope itll be alright
Come on and hope itll turn out fine
Yeah, hope itll be alright, please
When the night turns to the deepest shade of black
At that point there is no reason to turn back
High above angels are falling from the sky
Lift your heart knowing
Its gonna be alright
Its gonna turn out fine
You gotta hope itll be alright
Come on and hope itll turn out fine
Yeah, hope itll be alright, please
You gotta hope, ya gonna win the fight
Come on n hope with all your might
Yeah hope its gonna be alright, please
Millions of people alone in the dark
Awaiting a moment of hope
Please
You gotta hope (whenever times get tough) itll be alright
Come on and hope (and when the road is rough) itll turn out fine
Yeah, hope (just when youve had enough) itll be alright, please
You gotta hope (whenever times get tough) youre gonna win the fight
Come on and hope (and when the road is rough) with all your might
Yeah, hope (just when youve had enough) its gonna be alright, please
You gotta hope (whenever times get tough) itll be alright
Come on and hope (and when the road is rough) itll turn out fine
Yeah, hope (just when youve had enough) itll be alright, please
You gotta hope, youre gonna win the fight

Turn Out The Light
Lover, lover, why is there light
In the itchy gitchy evening and its dark outside
And whats the difference between wrong and right
Wrong and right
Isnt it funny how pain goes away
And then comes back another day
The air feels very good today
Good today
Lover, lover, why is there light
Did you forget to turn off that light
Well thats all right but its way too bright
Way too bright
See the eagle above the hill
The lake reflects and is so still
The tension has gone from my will
From my will
Moon on the mountain shining bright
First there is dark and then there is light
And sometimes the light is way too bright
Its way to bright
Why dont you turn out the light
Oh, turn out the light
Why dont you turn out the light
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
Turn out the light

Whats In It For Me
(billy burnette, bekka bramlett, annie roboff)
Thought we had a good thing baby
You pulled the wool over my eyes
Shouldve seen it coming baby
Now all I see is a cool love dying
Honey I dont want to hold you down
Why you gotta own the lock and the key
Oh tell me baby
Good things just dont come around
And you cant have them for free
No not me
Youve been a river of give
And an ocean of take
Darlin for heavens sake
Youve got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that
You say you want to work it out, boy
Tell me whats in it for me
Youre living in your own world
You act like Im just passing through
Oh yeah
Dont you want to be happy
Dont you know how good I could be
Seems everybodys telling you something
That they know you just want to hear
Oh but you aint gonna hear it from me
Youve been a valley of love
And a mountain of need
Baby, its time you see
Youve got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that
You say you want to work it out, boy
Tell me whats in it for me
Up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that
You say you want to work it out boy
Tell me whats in it for me
Youve been a river of give and a mountain of take
Darlin for heavens sake
Youve got me up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that
You say you want to work it out, boy
Tell me whats in it for me
Up and down and in between
Acting nice then being real mean
Hey
Well you hold me tight then you turn your back
Who could deal with that
You say you want to work it out boy
Tell me whats in it for me

Fears Not More
My heart was deceived
By a weaker tongue
That was bound by captivity,
A feeble voice
And an uncertain wrong
That were clearly divested
Of my world's gravity...
I let my silence be stripped
Of a real and touching story
That wanted to be translated
Into a language barely heard,
When down below the surface,
A deeper need
Was damning my mind
Which at that particular time,
Was no longer bridging any words...
I told of nothing at all
When aloud I wanted to call,
So imprisoned I was,
That if I saw an open door,
I would not dare to trust it
That it was really open
And would not suddenly disappear...
The walls around me
Were tightly closing,
pressing out the air
From my weaken lungs
And getting then trapped
Within a building vanishing
Slowly from the horizon...
Time was passing rapidly
A desperate I was getting,
Hope and Faith were running low,
But suddenly, at the distance,
I saw a powerful bright light
Approaching me closer
Every minute that collapsed...
By surprise, my human's spirit
Started to rise very high,
Not knowing that you
Were the one behind the light,
Ready to welcome me
Into your warm open arms!
My life regained its strength again
And feeling happy with you,
The woman of my dream...

Just A Man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, I am just a man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
And every night I shut my eyes
So I dont have to see the light
Shining so bright
Ill dream about a cloudy sky,
A cloudy sky
Ill dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy
Man was born to love-
Though often he has sought
Like icarus, to fly too high-
And far too lonely than he ought
To kiss the sun of east and west
And hold the world at his behest-
To hold the terrible power
To whom only gods are blessed-
But me, I am just a man
And every night I shut my eyes
So I dont have to see the light
Shining so bright
Ill dream about a cloudy sky, a cloudy sky
And every night I shut my eyes
But now Ive got them open wide
Youve fallen into my hands
And now youre burning me
Youre burning me

That Lonesome Road
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Dont turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees
If I had stopped to listen once or twice
If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
Id not be on this road tonight
Carry on
Never mind feeling sorry for yourself
It doesnt save you from your troubled mind
Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Dont turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees

Its Not The Spotlight
(gerry goffin, barry goldberg, 1973/1976)
If I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I dont have to tell you what a welcome it will be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
But I still keep on believing that itll come back some day.
Its not the spotlight, its not the camra light,
Its not the street lights of some old street of dreams.
It aint the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
But Ive seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.
Some times I try to tell myself the light was never real,
Just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel.
But you and I know better, even though its been so long,
If your memory really serves you well, youll never tell me no wrong.
Its not the spotlight, its not the camra light,
Its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It aint the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
But Ive seen it shining in your eyes you know what I mean.
So if I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I dont have to tell you what a welcome it would be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
But I still keep on believing that itll come back some day.
Its not the spotlight, its not the camra light,
Its not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It aint the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
But Ive seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.

Fair Warning
You know, wishing wont make it so
Hoping wont do it, praying wont do it
Religion wont do it, philosophy wont do it
The supreme court wont do it,
The president and the congress wont do it
The un wont do it, the h-bomb wont do it,
The sun and the moon wont do it
And God wont do it,
And I certainly wont do it
That leaves you, youll have to do it
I know that youve been wondering
If Im the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
cause Ive got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
til Ive seen paradise with my very own eyes
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all
But the world doesnt own me
Dontcha follow me now
I aint afraid to say I may have been wrong
I have to go now
Id rather live by a dream than live by a lie
And thats why
There aint no cure for what Ive got baby
We just have to suffer
I feel no pain, I cant complain,
Things could always be rougher
But I picked up this banner
And I just cant put it down (no)
I cant let the world die just cause no one would try
Dontcha follow me now
Everybodys got to find his own place in the sun,
Everyone
So shine on me now
Id rather live by a dream then live by a lie
You can say what you will about me
Talk is cheap and I dont mind
When you lay your life down in them grooves
You know youre bound to get scratched up sometime
Its only just a song, pay me no mind
I have to go now
Youve got to walk that road alone
If you walk it at all
Dont follow me now
I gave you all fair warning
Now its goodbye
And every once in a while why dont you think of me
cause its a long, long time and a long way to go
Cant you see the light shining in my eyes
cause its just one victory
cause your dream goes on forever
Dont you know that Ive been trying
To get my trip together
Be a real man
I got to be a real man
1, 2, 3, do it one more time
Be a real man
Everybody be a real man
Go then, dont believe, and I dont know
cause I got to be a real man
You can be a man, a real man
Ill swim that river, climb that mountain
You and me, we all gotta be, real men

Dream Away
(d. warren)
When this world, the real that world youre living in
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find too many troubles on your mind then
Feel just like there is no escape
And it seems your heart has forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
Theres a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free (fly free)
(chorus)
Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream..., dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining (find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just to dream away
Remember when (remember when)
The dream could take you anywhere (anywhere you want to)
Just to wish (yes) anything could be
When the father sol is one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart
cause thats where dreams are where start
Anything is real if you just believe (believe...)
(chorus)
All it takes is faith to make your dream come true (ah ah)
And somewhere in this world therell be somebody
To share your dreams with you

One Kiss From You
Im dreaming of one kiss from you
A love long and true
Well go on and on and
I dont wanna hear that Im too young
To know its love that makes me feel this way
cause I dont have to feel the heat of the sun
To know its shining on me every day
When its warm outside
And the look in your eyes
Is longing to show me the way
I dont want to wait
Chorus:
Just one kiss from you, and suddenly
I see the road laid out in front of me
You give me strength, you give me hope
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me whole
And I dont know just what I would do
Without one kiss from you
I dont wanna hear my time will come
When it feels like its already here
We should learn to walk before we run
But why go anywhere when youre so near
cause when I reach out to you
So sad and confused
And feeling like I could cry
You dry my eyes
Chorus:
Just one kiss from you, and suddenly
I see the road laid out in front of me
You give me strength, you give me hope
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me whole
And I dont know just what I would do
Without one kiss from you
Im dreaming of one kiss from you
A love long and true
Well go on and on and
Im looking for one kiss goodnight
To last all my life
On and on and
Chorus:
Just one kiss from you, and suddenly
I see the road laid out in front of me
You give me strength, you give me hope
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me whole
And I dont know just what I would do
Without one kiss from you
Im looking for one kiss goodnight
To last all my life

Coming Back To You
Maybe Im still hurting
I cant turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
Its just that I cant speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
Ah theyre shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields theyre under lock and key
Tho the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And theyre handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while im
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
Theres many that youll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Whove left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
Ill never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
Ive got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all Ive said was just instead of
Coming back to you

Dream On

I surround myself with superficial things
Somethin to toy with
They dont mean a thing

And hope to see me through

If you wanna be a dreamer

And Im blowing every chance

Nothins gonna make me dance

Oh, theyre always sayin

And hope to see me through

And in wishes coming true

Romance
Away with all those tales of romance
You try so hard
And I cant take the heartbreak you weave
Dont cry alone
Oh baby baby dont give up on me
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up and you will see
Oh baby baby this I guarantee
Turn it up, turn it up itll be alright
Alright, I said some things need to change
Desires? . . . maybe
But I dont like to rearrange your lies (your lies)
So cry alone
Oh baby baby dont give up on me
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up Im begging please
Oh baby baby this I guarantee
Turn it up, turn it up itll be alright
Loves a special thing
Lovers only need honesty
Two hearts the same (two hearts the same)
Beating in the name of romance
And I dont care who gives in
cause its only a game
The end is just the same
And what remains is why youre crying alone
So alone
Oh baby baby dont give up on me
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up Im begging please
Oh baby baby this I guarantee
Turn it up, turn it up, itll be alright
Turn it up, turn it up, itll be alright
Turn it up, turn it up, itll be alright

Unforgiven 2
Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you.
Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me, this won't hurt I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes she'll be there when I'm gone
Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
Dead sure she'll be there!
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've felt, what I've known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven too?
(Solo)
Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes now I see it!
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?
What I've

A Psalm of Hope
When the world beats
the rhythms of joy and sorrow,
when our hearts keep the hope
to light the dark shadows,
when our hands touch the strings
for our common song,
then I know there is a way to go:
a way to peace
a way to hope
a way to light.
When a child is caressed
by love and kindness
and a stranger is welcomed
by our hands of faith,
when each moment bears
the seed of a bright new day,
then I know there`s a dream
to find and rebuild:
a dream for peace
a dream for hope
a dream for love.
When pain in our life
numbs our senses
and the will to survive
seems extinguished,
yet a ray of hope
comes shining through,
then I know there's a place to go:
a world of peace
a world of light
a world of love.

A Little Bit Of Heaven
Written by richard kerr & graham lyle
The last guest has gone
I can tell youre as thankful as i
A good time was had by all
And a little wine
I know by that look
(hmm) youve got other things on your mind
And I cant resist that sign
So turn out the lights and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world-just let it spin
Why dont we make a little bit of heaven
Just talk to my heart
(ooh) say the words that I want to hear
Darling, tonight I need you near
So turn out the light and close the door
We need some time to be alone
Shut out the world-just let it spin
And maybe well touch
A little bit of heaven
Oh---, oh, oh, hmm---
Shut out the world-just let it spin
Maybe well touch a little bit of heaven
Heavens right here for us
We dont need a mountain to climb, no, no, no
Theres just the two of us
And the love between the lines
Turn out the light and close the door
We need the night to be alone
Shut out the world just let it spin
Why dont we make a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light and close that door
Maybe well find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light, baby, and close the door
I know we can make a little bit of heaven
Honey, turn out the light, yeah, and close the door
Maybe well find a little bit of heaven
Turn out the light and close the door
Maybe well find, oh, a little bit of heaven

The Downstream
Lay down your head & look to your window
Where do you go when its not where youre going
And how do you see when the light isnt shining
Where you could be if you worked out the timing
And how does it feel when the world comes on so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
If I were a king & you were a lady
What would I sing to say what Im saying
And would you believe the verses left open
My heart on my sleeve the rhyming all broken
And how does it feel when the world comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
Sell me a river and Ill skate away
To the downstream where I did play
So easy minded like a hill on the skyline
Tripped up and blinded getting lost on the sidelines
And how does it feel when each word comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you

Out Of Control
Everyone says sooner or later youll reach the end of the line
When things get rough some think its easy to jump the ship . . .
You decide
I say--dont throw it away
Theres about a million reasons why
Though youve heard them all before
And youre getting very tired
Lay your head on my lap and Ill sing you this lullaby
Chorus
Dont you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today
Youre out of control yeah--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning itll only be a dream
Youre out of control . . .
Theres a cloud-rollin overhead and it seems to rain on no one else
Theres a black sun--casting a black shadow,
And I know you feel so all alone
Youre out of control--and you want the world to love you
Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
That you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner and youve got nowhere to go
Nothin for nothin--everythings right at your fingertips--for a price
Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise
I say--dont throw it away, youve got too many things to say
If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . .
The world will never be the same
Chorus
Youre out of control--and you move without direction
And people look right through your soul
Youre out of control--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning itll only be a dream
And I wish that I could tell you, itll only be a dream
