Silent Legacy
Why did you steal the matches
From the one room motel
Once they gave you answers
Now they give you hell
They will never understand
They wonder where did they go wrong
How could you be so selfish
Why can't you get along
[CHORUS]
And as you pray in your darkness
For wings to set you free
You are bound to your silent legacy
You've seen it in the movies
And you've heard it on the street
Craving the affection
Your blood is full of heat
They don't listen to your reasons
As original as sin
Deny all that you feel
And they will bring you home again
[CHORUS]
Your body is alive
But no one told you what you'd feel
The empty aching hours
Trying to conceal
The natural progression
Is the coming of your age
But they cover it with shame
And turn it into rage
[CHORUS]
You are digging for the answers
Until your fingers bleed
To satisfy the hunger
To satiate the need
They feed you on the guilt
To keep you humble keep you low
Some man and myth they made up
A thousand years ago
[CHORUS]
Mothers tell your children
Be quick you must be strong
Life is full of wonder
Love is never wrong
Remember how they taught you
How much of it was fear
Refuse to hand it down
The legacy stops here
Oh my child...

Only The Children
We keep hurting each other when words cant be easily said
No understanding or reason, just fear and confusion instead
We need hope for the future, and the young need a chance to survive
No one knows the pain thats felt by the innocent, theyre
Fighting to stay alive, can no one see the tears in their eyes
Chorus:
Only the children, only the children cry, only the children
Why do those who have plenty ignore those with nothing at all
Why must the ones just beginning, stand with their backs to the wall
They keep asking for answers and we keep on telling them lies
They only want to understand what they feel inside
The hunger that tears them apart
Its the one thing theyve known from the start
Chorus - (only the children cry)

Home Again
Where is she going - ooh, she looks like shes lost
Wont someone help her - somebody give her a hand
Shes got such sweet eyes - look like theyve seen too much
Knew someone like here - nobody helped, but shes
Home again...home again...home again
Where are you going - to see a crazy old man
What will he tell you - hell tell me where Im going
What will you do then - I might just quit my job
What will you do then - Im gonna find my way
Home again...home again...home again
(chorus)
(wherere we going, wherere we going, home again,
Were home again, were home)
Where is he going - why does he walk that way
Sticking his chest out - what is he trying to say
Hes got charisma - but when hes all alone
He curls up in a ball - and wishes that he was
Home again...home again...home again
Where are we going - why do we feel so small
Alone and helpless - in this big crazy world
Looking for something - thats so hard to describe
But just like children - going along for the
Ride again...ride again...ride again
(chorus)
Well, aint that something - guess I lost my head
Must have took a wrong turn - when I got outa bed
Ended up on the wrong street - wrong side of town
People here are the wrong type - theyve got me down
Im eating the wrong food - drinkin the wrong wine
Cant hardly see straight - cant walk the line
Shakin all the wrong hands - makin the wrong talk
Steppin on the wrong feet - every time I walk

Complicated Disaster
COMPLICATED DISASTER
She knows about me
I heard about your secret life
She thinks that youre a family man
You got two babies and a wife.
I never thought you'd sink this love
(Would did you have to paint a picture)
Two many lovers in this wrong
I'm suffocating.
Chorus:
And now youre standing in front of me
Begging me not to leave
Complicated disaster
And as I struggle to understand
What we came over with
Promised me ever after
I turned our way but I keep wrong
Youre all that I remember.
It's been three hours
Since she shared her story in this room
She seems like such a gentle girl
You came and left her much too soon.
She said it lasted just six months
(But I could feel her devastation)
The fear of being completely wrong
Has taken over.
Chorus
All the plans we were making
Just got washed away with the tears
I'm drowning but you cant save me this time
No no, complicated disaster.
And as I struggle to understand
What we came over with
Promised me ever after
I turned our way but I keep wrong, oh no.

Gettin Hard
Found me golden angel
Gonna do me for a song
Love me till tomorrow
Who knows if shell be gone
For once I tried to keep her
I guess that I was wrong
She just wants some money
To line her silver tongue
(pre-chorus)
And when the animal that lives inside you calls
When you cannot feed the hunger
Then the hammer falls
(chorus)
Gettin hard
Hard to live with
Somethings gotta give
Try to make a living
Overworked and underpaid
Slaving so one day
I can get away
Man looks at me for answers
Poor boy take the blame
Seein it through the boss mans eyes
We all must look the same

Wish I Was Wrong
I never saw it coming
Learned the hard way love is blind
But you can't deny the bitter truth
When it's right begore your eyes
Chorus:
But I wish I was wrong
Your love for me is gone
I know beyond a doubt there's no use in hanging on
But I wish I was wrong
The world trembled there beneath me
It was more than I could stand
That you'd take comfort in the arms
Of another man
I searched my heart for answers
I looked deep down in my soul
From denial to revelation
That I'd have to let you go

Yes, I wish I was wrong

I cant pretend its all right
Maybe well find a way somehow
Why do we need to turn it on?
Why does it always feel so wrong?

The truth is so complicated now

Hate is so heavy when youre weak
Now were both lost in anger
When were alone well find some peace

The truth is so complicated now

When I'm With You
Vs.1 No one knows just how I feel.
I never thought this could be real.
But you've proved me wrong, you see.
I know that you're perfect for me.
(chorus)
There's no one else that makes me feel this way.
No one else that believes in what I say.
Only you can understand the way I think.
My heart can't sink when I'm with you.
Vs.2 Everyday I seem to think about
What my life would be like without
You right there by my side.
Boy, when you're with me I feel alive.
(chorus)
(instrumental-piano)
Bridge: No more heartbreak, no more fear.
No more worries with you here.
I know that you won't cause me harm.
I feel safe when I'm in your arms.

Yeah, only you can understand the way I think,
And I know my heart will never sink.. When I'm with you. :)

Whats Wrong With That
I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store
The same as any dirty old man
I know Im not the first to see
I guarantee Im not the last
So take some good advice from me
Just try it once before you ask
I hear an enticing voice
(live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I dont like the other choice
(live it up, live it up)
Chorus:
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with the fountain of youth
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Who you think is foolin who
And who will be the last to laugh
Heres another lame excuse
Youre old enough to be her dad
Ive heard all the reasons why
(give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I turn them my blindest eye
(give it up, give it up)
Repeat chorus
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a flower in bloom
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Days dont hide secrets of the heart
Only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart
And any way they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I cant wait around to satisfy you

The Great Beyond
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
Ive watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I cant believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
Theres a new planet in the solar system
Theres nothing up my sleeve
(chorus 1)
Im pushing an elephant up the stairs
Im tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I dont want to stay around
Why cant we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet
(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great beyond
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
Look into the stars
Look into the moon
(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2 2x)
Im breaking through
Im bending spoons
Im keeping flowers in full bloom
Im looking for answers from the great, answers from the great
Im breaking through
Im bending spoons

Im looking for answers from the great, answers from the great, answers

Changes
Dont you feel a change a-coming
From another side of time
Breaking down the walls of silence
Lifting shadows from your mind
Placing back the missing mirrors
That before you couldnt find
Filling mysteries of emptiness
That yesterday left behind.
Chorus:
And we all know its better
Yesterday has passed
Now lets all start the living
For the one thats going to last.
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
That will stay and remain
When your children see
The answers
That you saw the same
When the clouds have all gone
There will be no more rain
And all the beauty of all things
Is uncovered again.
Chorus
(repeat chorus)
Dont you feel the day is coming
And it wont be too soon
When the people of the world
Can all live in one room
When we shake off the ancient
Chains of our tomb
We will all be born again
Of the eternal womb.

Don't Tell Me
You held my hand and walked me home
I know
While you gave me that kiss
It was something like this
It made me go: "oh, oh"
You wiped my tears
Got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go
Guess it wasn't enough
To take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
(Pre-chorus)
Did I not tell you that I'm
Not like that girl the one who
Gives it all away, yeah
(Chorus)
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you
This time
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do
And cry
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah
Don't think that your charm
And the fact that your arm
Is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants
I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
Thought I liked you a lot
But I'm really upset (I'm really upset)
So get out of my head
Get off of my bed, yeah that's what I said
(Pre-chorus)

This guilt trip that you put me on won't
Mess me up I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone
Away, way, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Someone To Hold
Sometimes I stare at the bed
Knowing that no ones there
Something is telling me
That you feel the way I do
I dream of you all the time
Wishing that you were mine
Im feeling so empty
Hoping youll think of me
I need ya here tonight
[chorus:]
If Im all alone
And youre all alone
Aint nothing wrong
Having someone to hold
Oh, your tender touch
It means so much
It feels so right having someone to hold
Its very plain to see
I want you next to me
Give me your hand and
Ill try to understand
Girl I love you so
I cant let you go
Aint nothing wrong with having someone to hold
Every now and then
I get to wondering
Are you with someone else
Or could you be by yourself
I turn on the tv
Its a picture of you and me
And Im going crazy
Cuz I miss my baby
I want you here tonight, tonight
[chorus]
Baby, I love you so
And everything that you have done for me
No one has ever done before
And Ill never let you go
You mean the world to me
And baby the way you make me feel
Whenever Im alone with you
Is irreplaceable
(girl, there aint nothing wrong so)

What Is It My Love
You hurt me, you use me, you lie
Youre heartless and hateful and cold
You dont care how you make me cry
You must have the last word
And be in control
What is it about you I love
Youre selfish and stubborn and proud
Youre arrogant, boastful and vain
Youre careless and thoughtless and loud
A flirt and a tease
And you cause me such pain
What is it about you I love
What is it, what is it my love
Chorus:
Theres something about you
That I seem to need
I have a hunger you know how to feed
And you satisfy me like nobody else
Those moments of heaven
Are worth all this hell
And I know you love me in your own crazy way
And I know you need me more than you can say
I may be a fool but Ill never give up
cause theres something about you I love
What is it, what is it my love
Chorus:
And theres something about me
That you seem to need
cause you have a hunger I know how to feed
And I satisfy you like nobody else

Youre insecure and defensively tough

What is it, what is it my love

(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman
Lookin' out on the morning rain,
I used to feel so uninspired,
And when I knew I had to face another day,
Oh, it'd make me feel so tired
Before the day I met you,
Life was so unkind,
But you're the key to my piece of mind
CHORUS:
'Cause you make me feel,
You make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
When my soul was in the lost and found,
You came along to claim it,
I didn't know just what was wrong with me, no,
Still your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for,
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more
CHORUS
Oh, baby watcha done to me?
Ooh, you make me feel so good inside,
And I just a-wanna be
Close to you, you make me feel so alive

You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)
You make me feel (Oh, you make me feel),

What I Feel About You
In these eyes, Were the words more than
Anything that I've spoken
As the skies, Turn to grey my heart's
Just about to crack open
So the story goes
There's something you should know
Before I walk away and I blow the ending
[chorus]
I never want to be without you
Oh I go here you go now I know
What I feel about you
There's no runnin'
I must of been wrong about you
Oh no there I go no control
And I'm fallin' so now you know
Feel so light, Craving not searchin'
All this truth's left me empty
When you run, Can you handle it
'Cause I need you to tell me
Maybe this is bold
But I'm hoping you will stay for the happy ending

I never want to be without you
Oh I go here you go now I know
What I feel about you
There's no runnin'
I must of been wrong about you

No I won't look back when I tell you what I think about you (2x)

And people are stupid
And love means nothing
In some strange quarters

War war is stupid

And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers
People fill the world
With narrow confidence
Like a child at birth
A man with no defense
Whats mine is my own

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
Now were fighting
In our hearts
Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

In the search for something new

Fighting in the street
Wont somebody help me?

The Day I Broke The Law
Tomorrow I'll be coming home Verse 1
I hope to find you all alone
With open arms to greet me at the door.
You cried as I was led away
It seems like only yesterday
But after all these years I can't be sure
While I've been dreaming dreams of you Chorus
Not knowing what your going through
I prayed that you'd remember me
But I know life goes on you see
I broke your heart the day I broke the law
The man you know don't hurt no more Verse 2
My tears were shed behind locked door
I've told myself your gone ten thousand times.
Still when it got to much too bear
I'd run my fingers through your hair
Your kissing lips were always on my mind.

They gave me back my liberty
They gave me something else I can't ignore

Look Heart, No Hands
I remember how it used to feel
Riding down old two mile hill
Tennis shoes up on the handle bars
Paying no mind to the passing cars
No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here
Chorus:
No chains, no strings, no fences, no wall
No net, just you to catch me when I fall
Look heart, no hands.
It took a little time to get up to speed
To find the confidence and strength I need
To just let go and reach for the sky
You know sometimes it felt I could fly.
No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here.
Chorus
It doesnt take much, just a smile or a touch
And Im a kid again, I can almost feel that wind
Look heart, no hands then play full chord to end

And hold you close to me, all night long.
So many lovers games I could play with you
And on that hand I see no reason why its wrong

But on the other hand, theres a golden band
To remind of someone who would not understand
On one hand I could stay and be your loving man
But the reason I must go is on the other hand

When I looked into your eyes I found myself
When I first kissed your lips I felt so alive
Ive got to hand it to you girl, youre something else

Ready To Meet Him
[talking]
Please give me the strength I need to live...
Bear with me
Amen
We each walk the path, that weve chosen
[chorus]
Im ready to meet him,
Were Im living aint right
Black hate white
White hate black
Its right back
To the same fight
They got us suspecting a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the lord
Lord, you left me stranded
And I dont know why
Told me to live my life,
Now Im ready to die
Ready to fly
I cry, but I shed no tears
You told me you would dead those fears, its been years
Snakes still coming at me
Just missing
Sometimes I think all you doing me is just listen
I thought that I was special
Thats what you told me
Hold me
Stop acting like you dont know me
Whatd I do so bad that it sent you away from me
Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me
(my child Im here, as Ive always been, it was you who went away,
And now are back again, what did I say? )
Follow your word, and be true
(what did you do? )
Wellwhat I wanted to do...
(what have you seen? )
Darkness and hell at a glance
(what do you want? )
All I want is another chance
Chorus
(just because you went away, my doors are not locked, wanna come back home,
All you gotta do is knock)
Ya see, I left home a boy, I returned as a man
Full grown, and Im still not able to stand
(I gave you a hand)
Well...but I was looking the wrong way
Figured out the plan, then I started to pray
And that prayer, took me from here to over there
Back to over here,
Now they got me like where?
Do I belong?
Do I fit in?
Things on my mind, where do I begin?
Its easier to sin, but it hurts my heart
Im really tryin to win, so where do we start?
(thou shall not steal)
But, what if he stole from me?
(thou shall not kill)
But what if hes tryin to kill me?
(thou shall not, take my, name in vain, no matter how hard it rains,
Withstand the pain)
Chorus
Our father, who art in heaven
Im not ashamed to ask for guidance, at 27
No longer afraid to knock on your door
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
After what I just saw, Im ridin with the lord
Cause I really cant afford to lose my head by the sword
And now that Ive seen, what I need to see
Please take me, where I need to be
(what have you learned? )
Its better to tell the truth than to lie
(what have you learned? )
To love my life until I die
(what have you learned? )
Violence isnt always the key
(what have you learned? )
You cant always believe what you see
(what have you learned? )
Its better to forgive and forget
(what have you learned? )
Give as you expect to get
(what have you learned? )
That I cant go on without you
(what have you learned? )
I musta been a fool to ever doubt you
