Truth
Then there is another side
Were the truth will often hide
In a dark recess and wait
To play out the hand of fate
Changing lives for good or bad
Making one happy or sad
Either way it's good to know
Whether you should stay or go

I Saved The World
Monday finds you like a bomb
That's been left ticking there too long
You're bleeding
Some days there's nothing left to learn
From the point of no return
You're leaving
Hey hey, I saved the world today
And everybody's happy now
The bad thing's gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
There's a million mouths to feed
and I've got eveything I need
I'm breathing
There's a hurting thing inside
And I've got everything to hide
I'm greiving
Hey hey, I saved the world today
And everybody's happy now
The bad thing's gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay
Let it stay
Let it stay
Doo doo doo doo doo the good thing

Coin Of Fate
In my hand is my coin of fate
It tells me at who I am to project my hate
With just a flip of the coin we shall see
What fate has determined what is your destiny
On one side is written of forgiviness and prayer
The other side is covered in scratches and shown little care
If me catching the side with prayer is your fate
Then you will be left alone and safe from my hate
But if the side displayed is the latter
Then save your breathe for your pleas will not matter
You will meet the side of me that is deaf to your cries
And know that anyone who meet this twisted being inside me dies
So, now let us play my little game
Let us see what fate has in store
*Flips the coin*
Well, it seems that I will stay tame
What say we play once more

Lady Of The Lake 2
I saw the old lady
again today
the one who lives
across the way
She took my hand
and walked me
towards the light
It was so beautiful and bright
heavenly souls all waiting in a line
but I had to close my eyes
and turn away
The old lady said
don't go back into the dark
it's time to start a new life
with souls of the same heart
I said
I've got to stay behind
and watch over my daughters life
I trust nobody but me and
her mother to make sure
she has a good start in life
so I will walk on the dark side
to be by her side
when she's made her life
and I know she's happy inside
I will come to the light

Wondering
If you want me to wait, I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering
Go!
(Yeah, yeah)
Since I was a young man
I never was a fun man
I never had a plan and no security then
Ever since I met you
I never could forget you
I only wanna get you right here next to me
'Cause everybody (a-whoa-oh-oh) needs someone that they can trust
and...
You're somebody (a-whoa-oh-oh) that I found just in time
If you want me to wait, I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering
Now my life is changing
Tt's always rearranging
Always getting stranger than I thought it ever could
Ever since I found you, I wanna be around you
I wanna get down to the point that I need you
'Cause everybody (a-whoa-oh-oh) needs someone that they can trust
and...
You're somebody (a-whoa-oh-oh) that I found just in time
If you want me to wait, I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering
Go!
(Yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah)
Don't tell me
The bad news
Don't tell me anything at all
Just tell me
That you need me
And stay right here with me
If you want me to wait, I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering
If you want me to wait, I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay, I would stay right thru
If you don't wanna say anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Crawl Through The Darkness
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x2]
Can you see the eyes and the daggers that follow?
Anything and everything that stand in the way
Wait, please wait, to the boy who hears the father
Reaching for his hand as his heart starts to sway [x2]
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x4]
Truth by truth you'll break men in town
What makes a man drink
And another man cry
If not a gift
No change to make way
Through these fine hours of a our lonely lives
Through these fine hours of a our lonely lives
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x4]
I need to be alone, I'm halfway to nowhere
More 'n the cold on now that I am alone
Wait means wait, to the boy and his father
Raching for a hand as my heart starts to sway [x2]
Crawl through the darkness, fear all that don't, fate is a gift [x5]

You Cant Hide The Real You
i try and try to keep him in,
but he refuses to stay in side,
we talk and play when no one near,
but when they come i hide in fear,
he sits and waits all day long,
and when i say get inside,
he tells me to stay quiet,
so i duck and wait until its safe,
the very next day we sat and played,
for we are alike in many ways,
we care for eachother,
the only difference is he is violent and i am not,
he is me and i am him,
we share the same mind,
sometimes he stays inside,
and wait to fight,
i try and try to keep him in,
but all he says is,
you cant hide the real you,
like i said i am him and he is me.

Stay
Please stay with me now
Dont you let me go
Ill make it somehow
I got to let you know
That Ill make it
Somehow, some way
Though I wait on the day
What Im doings got to pay
Someway, somehow
My baby, when he cries
Its cause somethings on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, thats life, thats life
Stay, stay, stay, stay (wont you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
It fits, but you cant make it work
Where theres pain, theres got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, thats a fact of life alright
The good lord stands behind every step
We are blind to fate, thats life, thats life
Stay, oh wont you please
Stay, stay (wont you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay (right here)
Stay, stay (dont you go, no no)

Stay, stay (dont listen to what people say)
Stay, stay (stay, stay, listen now yeah)
Stay, stay (stay, yeah yeah now)

Be Happy At It
Whatever that is,
Making you feel good...
About you and who you are.
Keep doing that!
And be happy at it.
Do not strain your brain,
Listening to a multitude of opinions...
From those who prefer to see you change.
Or those who complain,
About how you are different.
And somehow you are not the same...
As you were twenty years ago,
When you were stuck with a given nickname.
Just be 'you'.
And be good at it too!
Some people seek approval,
Of every move made.
Even faking moods...
If another is not pleased,
With an attitude you've chosen...
They did not choose.
Whatever that is,
Making you feel good...
About you and who you are.
Keep doing that!
And be happy at it.
Refuse to be an addict to habits,
Others enforce...
Because their lives are full of static.
Erratic and nomadic.
And confused!
Just be 'you'.
And be good at it too!

So Good To See You
Words and music by rick nielsen
Ooh, its so good to see you
I couldnt wait another day
Ooh, I hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay
Home in one month
Couldnt feel better if I tried
Wont even write

I cant expect to be a household word
I dont mind, just let me inside
I dont expect to be seen or heard
I wont mind, Ive nothin to hide
Ooh, its so good to see you
I couldnt wait another day
So good to see you
Ooh, I hope everyone missed you
You know they want you to stay
Home in one week
Gettin so much closer all the time
Seems like overnight
Its better thatll be a surprise
We shouldnt get to be too close friends
I dont mind, Ive nothin to hide
We couldnt get to be too close friends
You wont mind if youve nothin to hide
Ooh, its so good to see you
I couldnt wait another day
So good to see you
Oo, I hope everyone missed you

Dont stop to think what youre doin

Ooh, its so good to see you

So good to see you
Oo, I hope everyone missed you

Good Enough
When footsteps from that Sunday march faded out into the dark
The melody blows in to ease the pain
Two thousand years and we're still here fighting over the same old fear
The muddy steps of hate can't stand this rain
I'll stand up on this stage as if it was my altar
I'll face down all the rage and no, I will not falter
Say I'm good enough to play but not good enough to stay
In your heart
The mat on the floor says welcome, the sign on the door says no
Says 'No coloreds allowed unless you're playing in the show'
Well I've never seen a color except the ones up in the sky
When I see this kind of hatred I die a little inside
I'll stand up on this stage as if it was altar
I'll face down all this rage and no, I will not falter
Say I'm good enough to play but not good enough to stay
And when you finish your song boy you've got to be on your way
But if I'm good enough to play then I'm good enough to stay
In your heart
This one's for the Godfather, Duke, Ella, and the Count
And for all those who fought their way here no matter the amount
For all of God's children walking through dumpsters in the back
Had to finish their show and leave just because their skin was black
They stood up on the stage as if it was their altar
They faced down all the rage and no, they did not falter
They were good enough to play but not good enough to stay
And when they finished their songs boy they had to be on their way
They were good enough to play and somehow they've always stayed
In our hearts
And if I'm good enough to play then we've got to find the space
In our hearts

Making A Good Thing Better
(peter wingfield)
Although I know our love is going strong
Little surprises kind of help it along
We mustnt let our lives become routine
Dont do anything we dont mean
There is no limit on love at all
It can always get better the deeper you fall
Im sure without that love we wont survive
So come on and show it; lets keep it alive
And well be making a good thing better
But with luck its gonna last forever
Youll see
Making a good thing better
Thats the way were gonna stay together
You and me
If were to make each other satisfied
Gotta keep on tryin; dont let it ride
It all comes over in the morning kiss
Dont do it like that; do it like this
Making a good thing better
But with luck its gonna last forever
Youll see
Making a good thing better
Thats the way were gonna stay together
You and me
Make it so much better
It is better better
Make it so much better
Make it better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Make it better better better
Better better
Making a good thing better
But with luck its gonna last forever
Youll see
Making a good thing better
Thats the way were gonna stay together
You and me

To Make Somebody Happy
By eric clapton
Feel like someones put the hurt on me,
And its making me feel sad.
Feel like someones trying to turn me away
From the good times to the bad.
Feel like someones trying to teach me
What is wrong from what is right.
And I cant belong to everyone;
Let me stay with you tonight.
And I hope it makes somebody happy.
Lord, I hope it makes somebody happy.
This rivers hard enough for me to swim,
But theres nowhere left to hide.
I aint no swimmer but I wont give in
Till I reach the other side.
Chorus
cause its all to make somebody happy.
It takes us all to make somebody happy.

Paths
Sometimes things shape our lives
for the good or for the bad.
We can never tell
until they touch our lives.
What these things will do,
if they will rise us up
or put us down,
we just have to wait and see.
Whatever happens to our lives
we are but pawns in a big game
that starts when we are born
and it ends when we die.
Our lives are guided by an unseen hand.
Some call it fate
others call him God.
We will never know
until our living days are through.
Until then
we will move along
paths chosen for us.

Agoraphobia
Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing in else in the world but one another
The 42nd floor
On a distant shore
I wonder how we strayed so far from this
Remember when we were
Just flesh and bone you sir
May have forgotten how good your world could be
So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And know that fate is what you make of it
Please end this
Before it ends us
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good
I read the news today
And everything they say
Just makes me want to stay inside
And a better part of me knows
That waiting in the throws
Is on the par with reading with my eyes closed
"What Can I do?", You say
It's just another day
In the life of Apes with ego trips
Put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lover's lips
And learn that fate is what we make of it
Please end this
Before it ends us
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good
I'm gonna stay inside
I'm gonna stay inside for good
I'm gonna stay inside
For Good
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
Don't want to stay inside for good

Their Favorite Toy
Out in the field I went today
A big ball of fur coming my way
So happy she was I come to play
When from my side comes the other one too
I take off running together they persue
Sure wish I had a good running shoe
In the tall grass I dive in to hide
back at me they came running side by side
get out of the way before we collide
I love my dogs they bring me such joy
Sometimes I think I am their favorite toy

Social Enemies
Social weapons that miss
Pretend them to save
Cowards, bastards to shame
Condemned social slaves
Here to save the freaks again
You think
And I bet you always will
Here to save the freaks again
You think
Here, here to save the freaks
Snakes causing the fate
Sadistic and free
So free
Traders, defendants behave
Lieges stay away from me
Saints keep knocking,
Go home dont sell me mary, no
Making the crazies well inside you
Think and I bet you always will
Chorus:
Calling us no good
You are the social enemies
We change the people day to day
Making us no good
You are the social enemies
Changing the people day to day
Agitators talking the show
Messing with heads
To be the number one
Smashers battling the hivs
Proud of yourselves
Arent you
Making the crazies well inside you
Think and I bet you always will
Chorus
Why must we play
So bitter me
Im suffering now
The nowhere me
Stop trying to say you fell into this place
So tragic you found the nowhere me
Here to save the freaks again
You think
Here, here to save the freaks

Let's Stay Together
I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my whole life with you
Ooh
Since, baby
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
And I'll never be untrue
So let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Ooh
Good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why people break up
and turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me
Cause being around you is all I see
All I wanna do is
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, baby, happy or sad
Let's, let's stay together, yeah
Loving you whether, yeah, loving you whether
Good or bad, baby, happy or sad, yeah
Good or bad, baby, happy or sad, yeah

You're All I Need
Album: Eternal (2001)
All alone for so long
All the hope I had in finding love was almost gone
Then an angel came along
Oh I believe good things come to those who wait
And destiny, girl I know it must be fate
Now I see, cuz I found my soulmate
You're all I need
Oh so wonderful, beautiful
But the words don't do you justice, girl
You're so much more
And I dedicate my life to love you so
Love you so, oh
Oh, I believe good things come to those who wait
And destiny, oh it must be fate
Cuz now I see, babe
Cuz I found my soulmate
You're all I need
Oh let me say it
I wanna say it again girl
Oh, I believe that good things come to those who wait
And destiny, girl I know it must be fate
Cuz now I see, cuz I found my soulmate
You're all I need
Never, never, never, never, never
Never leave me, babe
Stay right there, right there, right there
Oh, so hard to describe babe
You bring tears to my eyes
You're all I need
