An Atheist, And I Dont Know!
an atheist told me:
'i dont believe in God....'
'okay, what do you believe? '
'well, you know,
there's something out there,
something bigger, beyond
all our conceptions,
some reason behind creating
and destroying....
i dont know... just dont know....
some reason we feel the things we feel,
some reason we do the things we do.....
some reason we live our lives,
some reason we love who we love....
something that knows why things are,
why some people are hungry,
and some have too much...
some reason there's so much suffering...
some reason there's so much beauty...
i dont know, just dont see some bearded
old man casting judgements...
i just dont know....'
i thought for a little bit and answered:
'that's kinda like what i believe,
i just call the 'i dont know',
God! '

I Thought I Knew It All
Somewhere theres a reason
Why things go like they do
Somewhere theres a reason
Why somethings just fall through
We dont always see them
For what they really are
But I know theres a reason,
Just cant see it from this far
Maybe I dont like it, but I have no choice
I know that somewhere, someone hears my voice
I thought I knew it all
I thought I had it made
How could it end this way?
I thought I knew
Somewhere theres a reason
Why things dont go my way
Somewhere theres a reason
That I cannot explain
Just like the change of season,
Just may not be my turn
But I know theres a reason,
The lessons mine to learn

A Million Miles Away
I dont want to know the reason why you dont love me

I dont want to know the reason why youre leavin me

Reasons
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without reason
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without reason
Little children dont you feel so sad
When you come home feeling lost and bad
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Oh woman, I gave my heart to you
When I found out what youve been through
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
How could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without a reason in my heart
How could you know?
(I know)
When they find you crying sorrows tears
And its too late after all these years
You got a reason, gimme that reason
Its boys be strong and girls be weak
But children, careful how you speak
You got a reason, gimme that reason
Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
How could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Gotta reason in my heart and dont you know?
I believe in love
I believe in you baby
What about love?
Give it to me, you gotta give me a reason baby
Little children dont you feel so bad
When you come home feeling lost and sad
You gotta reason
Believe it in your heart and it will show

Is It My Name?
There is cause and effect
Theres a reason Im so erect
Theres last night and theres today
Theres a reason you feel this way
Is it my name?
Dont miss the boat barry, dont miss the plane
I dont think I can make this scene again
Why dont you love me?
Is it my name?
All the lies, all the truth,
All the things that I offer you
All the sights, all the sounds
All the times that you turn me down
Is it my name?
My voice goes so high you would think I was gay
But I play my guitar in such a man-cock way
Why dont you love me?
It is my name?
You only love me for my machine

Straight Out Of Line
Theres no reason, theres no compromise
Change in seasons, living the high life
I dont know you so dont freak on me
I cant control you, youre not my destiny
Straight out of line
I cant find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I dont need a reason, you dont need to lie to me
Ill confess this: youre my tragedy
I laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me
Gone forever, banished the memories
Displays of pleasure are masked by your misery
Straight out of line
I cant find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I dont need a reason, you dont need to lie to me
Lie to me
Straight out of line
I cant find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I dont need a reason, you dont need to
Dont need to lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

I Love....
i love...
that's the reason i walk,
the reason i breathe.
the reason i grieve.
the reason i dance.
the reason i smile.
the reason i listen.
the reason i offer a hand.
the reason i see beauty.
the reason i see both darkness,
and light....
the reason i take chances.
the reason i keep going.
the reason i get angry.
the reason i forgive.
the reason i touch.
the reason i question.
the reason i believe.
the reason i am tolerant.
the reason i understand.
the reason i fall.
the reason i fly.
the reason i write...
the reason i am what i am!

You could make it all so easy. (aaah)
Girl you know just how to please me. (aaah)
Dont you do it if you think you got to. (aaah)
Dont you do it cause you think you ought to. (aaah)
Ooh, do it in the name of love.
If you really want me thats reason enough.

Sometimes Love Just Aint Enough
I dont wanna lose you,
I dont wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I dont wanna hate you
I dont wanna take you
But I dont wanna be the one to cry
That dont really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough
Now I could never change you
I dont wanna blame you
Baby you dont have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change
But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough
And theres no way home
When its late at night and youre all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay
And theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they cant touch.
Theres a reason why people dont stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.

Never Say Die
People going nowhere, taken for a ride
Looking for the answers that they know inside
Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme
Snow whites mirror said partners in crime!
Dont they ever have to worry?
Dont you ever wonder why?
Its a part of me that tells you
Oh, dont you ever, dont ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Sundays satisfaction, mondays home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold back, 'till its ready, taking it slow
Dont they ever have to worry?
Dont you ever wonder why?
Its a part of me that tells you
Oh, dont you ever, dont ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Dont you ever say die
Dont you ever say die
Never say die
Panic, silver lining, writings on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Futures on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down, turn around, everythings fine
Theres no need to have a reason
Theres no need to wonder why
Its a part of me that tells you
Oh, dont you ever, dont ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Give Me A Reason
Well we change from one extreme to another
Can you help me with my shame
I didnt mean to when I kicked and punched
From nowhere this demon came
Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Dont use me for the devils food
And throw away the key
Give me a reason so Ive got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so Ive got
Something else to blame
I only meant to wipe away the cries
With the softness of my hand
I didnt mean to break the tie
Im after all a family man
Give me a reason so Ive got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so Ive got
Something else to blame
Give me the reason
Give me a reason
I am the master of this house
Dont try to run away
I tried the same things at your age
And I was also made to pay
Forgive me for this mindless mood
Accept this honest plea
Dont use me for the devils food
And throw away the key
Mister patience and misses alike
Upon and throughout the land
A lot of attention
With a heap of affection
Wouldnt go astray
Give me a reason so Ive got
Someone else to blame
Give me the reason so Ive got
Something else to blame
This is the reason, one of the reasons
I am the reason so Ive got only myself to blame
I am the reason so Ive got no-one else to blame

Freak Of Nature
Dont it please you, daddy, dont it feel good?
Well, I always say, thats enough reason not to call it a freak of nature
Dont it stand out, daddy, dont you see it?
Well, I always say, thats enough reason not to call it a freak of nature
Man, if youve got a one in a million girl, dont let her get away
cause the next one in a million girl is a million girls away
So get up off of your ass, daddy, and call me on the phone
cause Im sitting here waiting for you to ask me to be your one and only
This isnt lonely, just serious
Dont you want to, daddy, dont you need it?
Well, I always say, thats enough reason not to call it a freak of nature

Listen To Me
You came down as if from heaven
Laid a soft hand on me
I kept on walking and thinking
Where my lifes gone I should weep
Well I dont know where Ive been going
Ive never known the reason why
So listen to me
Im scared to cry
The angel sat down at my table
I told her all my doubts and pain
She said there always is a time for love
That it will come to me again
But I dont know where Ive been going
Ive never known the reason why
So listen to me
Im scared to cry
Well I dont know where Ive been going
Ive never known the reason why
So listen to me
Im scared to cry
Yeh listen to me
Im scared to cry
Without me you would be nowhere
All alone Ive cared
You owe it all to me

Go Away
Well I think of you when I fantasize
The best I ever had
And I think of you when Im drivin
Myself completely mad
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
Walkin on the footbridge
High above the clouds
Listenin to your yesterday
Didnt make a sound
Dazzled by your sweet lips
Touchin on me
Here comes trouble
Cant you see?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
(why dont we go)
(why dont we go)
Why dont we go away?
Well I think of you when I dramatize
The things we never did
And I think of you when Im flyin
Or when Im feelin just like a kid

Why dont we go away?

Why dont we go away?

Short people
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
'round here
Short people are just the same
As you and i
(a fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(its a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
Theyre gonna get you every time
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people

Heart Of Mine
Heart of mine be still,
You can play with fire but youll get the bill.
Dont let her know
Dont let her know that you love her.
Dont be a fool, dont be blind
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back home,
You got no reason to wander, you got no reason to roam.
Dont let her see
Dont let her see that you need her.
Dont put yourself over the line
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back where you been,
Itll only be trouble for you if you let her in.
Dont let her hear
Dont let her hear you want her.
Dont let her know shes so fine
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine you know that shell never be true,
Shell only give to others the love that shes gotten from you.
Dont let her know
Dont let her know where youre going.
Dont untie the ties that bind
Heart of mine.
Heart of mine so malicious and so full of guile,
Give you an inch and youll take a mile.
Dont let yourself fall dont let yourself stumble.
If you cant do the time, dont do the crime

Heart Like A Wheel
In the days of confusion
Youve turned angry and cold
You say its an ilusion
Theres no fire in your soul
Say you dont love me
Say you dont care
But dont leave me standing here
Your hears like a wheel
Just waiting to roll
Its longing for freedom
To get out on the road
Youre hungry for something
That you may never find
So many reasons
Your love has made you blind
You say you dont love me
You say you dont care
So dont leave me standing here
Dont leave me standing here
You say you dont love me
You say you dont care
Dont leave me
Dont leave me standing here
Life aint been easy
Full of passion and pain
Told me no reason
Why I was to blame
Dont leave me standing
Dont leave me standing
Dont leave me standing

Pastel
Another falls in place
You wonder if youre only human
Its blood, dust, and paste
Were held together by a single thread
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it
What is it with this place?
Or is it that Im missing something?
You want to see my face
When I cant even see it for myself
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it

Just go away
And I dont want to know how to play
Cant I make it just go away?
I dont want a game that I dont no how to play

Cant I make it just go away?
