Rebuilding
I need you out of my energy.
Out of my flow of thought
That gnaws at my good nature,
And grinds it to a halt!
I need you out of my focus!
Like a plague of locusts,
I need you out of my mind!
Out of my heart!
Out of any remnants of love
That may be left over!
Tagging along with ill intent!
You represent a resenting time departing!
I'm starting over!
I know that too well now.
You've been dismissed!
I'm letting go of this abusive degradation.
Packing a cracked foundation I am...
And there is not a view cast upon you!
I am rebuilding on rock solid ground.
With a contentment,
You can not cement!

Solid Rock
Well, Im hangin on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I wont let go, and I cant let go, wont let go
And I cant let go, wont let go, and I cant let go no more.
For me he was chastised, for me he was hated,
For me he was rejected by a world that he created.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,
People are expecting a false peace to come.
Well, Im hangin on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I wont let go, and I cant let go, wont let go
And I cant let go, wont let go, and I cant let go no more.
Its the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
Using all the devices under the sun.
And he never give up til the battles lost or won.
Well, Im hangin on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And I wont let go, and I cant let go, wont let go
And I cant let go, wont let go, and I cant let go no more.

Don't Only Focus On The Money
When you go for the money,
You'll be selling your soul.
And when one goes for just the money,
The heart turns cold.
So don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
Bling is nice but there's more to life.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Open your mind with bright wide eyes,
To take a ride that will excite you.
With a view to greater heights.
So...
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
When you go for the money,
You'll be selling your soul.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't let your heart grow old and cold.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
So...
Don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
So...
Don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
So you just don't focus on the money,
Don't.
So you just don't focus on the money,
Don't.
No don't you focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
'I feel funny when I don't have any money.'
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't you only focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't keep your focus on the fact that you always stay broke.
Don't focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't only focus on the money,
Don't.
Don't stay focused on the money,
Don't!
Don't keep your focus on the fact that you always stay broke.
Don't focus on the money,

Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart
Intro (listen to recording for timing)
Since the day I was led to temptation
And in weakness did let your love down
I have prayed that with time and compassion
Youd come around
Chorus:
I keep waiting for you to forgive me
And you keep saying you cant even start
And I feel like a stone you have picked up and thrown
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
To the hard rock bottom of your heart
Now this home we have built is still standing
Its foundation is on solid ground
Do we roll up our sleeves and repair it
Or burn it down
Go to chorus
We cant just block it out weve got to talk it out
Until our hearts get back in touch
I need your love I miss it I cant go on like this is
Hurts too much
Go to chorus, repeat last two lines of chorus for ending.

Common Ground
These are not dispassionate words of the cool
The headline still rules the editors a fool
Shall we douse out the flames or will everybody fuse
And leave us stranded here tomorrow
I heard a calling out, a cry from the heart
From the towns of cement and the beauty
A whisper its turned howl, man he didnt know
He was standing waiting for tomorrow
Nothings left, nothings found, there must be some common ground
I could never figure the calendars flow
Nor can I work out how the wild, wild wind blows
But were ready from within and were starting to go
Away from the place of no tomorrow
Nothings left, nothings found, there must be some common ground
Nothings left, (? ? ? ) I see there must be some common ground
Oh the wrecking fields are a terrible place
With a sulphurous smell and a frightening pace
And the hook goes early and the critic is king
Its hard to stay human and stand in the ring
Theres no time to be absent, a clown or a fool
While shylock is smiling were loaded like mules
If we surrender ourself to industrial rules
Well wake up in the wreckage of tomorrow
Now
Nothings left, nothings found, there must be some common ground
Nothings left, somethings found, can we see some common ground

One Good Love
(duet with waylon jennings) written by: neil diamond and gary nicholson
It took a while for me to know
What I was looking for
And every heart Ive ever known
Has left me wanting more
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
Lead it back to solid ground
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
When all you really need to find
Is one good love
I followed all of lifes pleasures
Wherever they will be
But someone I can treasure
Is all I really need
One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love
Can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love
One good love

America's Foundation
Jesus Christ is our foundation
The solid Rock
Which shakes our nation!
He lived,
He shared the Good News
He took our depts,
And paid sin's dues.
Jesus died,
With his arms open wide -
Not a sinner is denied!
The loving forgivness -
It is freely given.
And on the third day,
Was Jesus risen!
He saved all men
From the gates
And flames of Hell!
To those who repent -
He plants in thier hearts
A joyful swell.
Jesus bought us with
His blood -
'Tis our ticket to heaven,
And eternity!
So ask Jesus into your heart,
Today, every nation!
The gift of life is free.
Recieve it in great jubilation!
Live with Jesus in heaven,
For all eternity!
Let Him be your rock,
In life's restless sea.
So,
Spread the good news!
Spread it far and wide!
Proclaim life to the nations!
Reveal to them how our sins,
Can be justified, and forgiven!
Then all the world shall say -
' Jesus Christ is our Foundation,
The Solid Rock,
Which shakes the nations!

Robin Hood
When you're starting to choke take some pills with your coke
It's inspirational
When your life is a mess light one more cigarette
It's so logical
Well it's something your mother can't abide
But it's something that I freely prescribe
Take yourself for a ride
It never felt so good
As the night that you and I played Robin Hood
Stealing from the backrooms of my mind
Remembering a time when we were five
A time I thought we'd left behind
When I'm starting to cry
Come and sit by my side
I will love you so
And when nightmares come
I will try to be fun

A Philosophy That Isn't Preached
A philosophy that isn't preached,
But works to keep one's mind at peace...
Is a gem to be treasured.
Some minds conditioned to be fixed,
To aged old values dusted in cracked cement...
Feel protected within traditions.
No matter how falsely kept.
And the one who accepts and respects...
With an acknowledgement no approval is sought.
Has the best chance for each day to be enhanced,
With happiness, contentment and a restfulness one gets.

so I'mma save face and imma be on my way
(Chorus 2) (1x)
Now I got my head right I can finally say

lonely nights so fucus and I made up
my mind you were just a waste of time but

(Chorus 1)(1x)
(Verse 2)
I never thought that you would treat me like

(Chorus 2)(1x)

(Chorus 1)

Let Go Of Attachment
A guru said to his student
'Look at me, look at how I hug the tree.
Letting go of attachment the guru put his hands down
guru's hands pointed at the ground.
That's how easy it is to let go-
just let go and the universe will flow.
You will find things come to you-
some people might manipulate that's true
trying to make you react and be blue—
but that is their game they playin their mind
you can release them in no time.
Release them happily in your intent
it's that simple naturally when good endings are sent.

Solid As a Rock
Do not fool yourself with beliefs,
You have the power to prevent another's progress.
What you do is further cement your own defeat.
And in time your stagnation,
Becomes as solid as a rock.

Expecting More From Ratty
We still represent ... represent.
I cant change I just wanna do it.
On the microphone just get into it.
Come on tonite from left to right.
Everybody now get ready for the night.
Tough like steel and dangerous, we gonna rock the house, its still like this.
No time to chill so keep on moving, get into the place, mc is grooving.
Tough like steel and dangerous, we gonna rock the house, its still like this.
No time to chill so keep on moving, get into the place, mc is grooving.
Expecting more from ratty.
Expecting more from ratty.
Expecting more from ratty.
Expecting more.
As a matter of fact in 92.
I cant explain. its up to you.
If you know what I mean its the freaky scene.
And things have changed a lot in between.
So come on tonite and let them go.
For those about who left the show.
I recommend to join the case.
The last call to rock the place.
Expecting more from ratty.
Expecting more from ratty.
Expecting more from ratty.
Expecting more.
We still represent ... represent.

Allowed To Prick As It Grows
Not to settle quickly,
What should have long been nipped...
From a blooming bud of nonsense,
And allowed to prick as it grows...
Rots the remnants of a significance,
Thought to be left of any relationship.
With a bitterness that smothers,
The ease of a simple forgiveness dismissed.

My love is built on solid rock
My love is built on solid rock
My love is built on solid rock
All other love is sinking love
My love is built on solid rock
The eagle bird is flying through
The royal bird is flying through
The golden bird is beautiful
My love for you is standing sure
My love is built on solid rock

Understatement
Sometimes we say something
and then ask ourselves
why the heck did we say that.
Our mouth went in one direction
while our mind went in another.
When someone asks
what we meant by that
we feel a bit bemused
and can’t give an answer.
We do it all the time,
putting our foot in our mouth
and wish we had left it where it was
standing on the ground.
I once went out with a girl
in my very younger years,
who when she dumped me said
“I love you and I don’t want to hurt you
which why I’m packing you up.”
That statement makes no sense.
If you love someone, so much
you’d want to be with them all the time.
As for not hurting them.
Whenever someone leaves
the person, who is left always feels the hurt.
Now that is what you call
an understatement.
