Speed Of Sound
Oh when you see it then youd understand
If you could see it then youd understand
Birds come flying from the underground
To show you how it all began
And the earths gone flying at the speed of sound
Oooh
Some get made, and some get send
Some things you cant invent
All those signs, I knew what they meant
Oh when you see it then youd understand
Refr.
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
Some things you have to believe
All the land that I couldnt see
The sign that I couldnt read
Japan and China all lit up
All the buildings that you put up
All the inventors could never design
Ideas that youll never find
If you could see it then youd understand
Birds come flying from the underground
To show you how it all began
And the earths gone flying at the speed of sound
And all those spaces, I got found
And all that noise, all that sound
Refr:
Before I see things that I made up
Ill start before I can stop
With my head stuck under the sand
How long am I gonna stand
If the chance that you get, is the chance you seize
Climb up, up in the trees
Planets are moving at the speed of light
Look up, I look up at night
Up on the side of this mountain of mine
How long do I have to climb
If you never try, then you never know
Where to, where do I go
Before I know what it feels like
How long before you decide
Before it starts, before I begin
How long before I get in

If Youd Ever Needed Someone
Stop right there and listen,
Before you say something you might regret
I know somethings missing
But I cant begin to accept what you said
Maybe, you can show me
Exactly where Im goin wrong
Cos lately Ive been thinking
Maybe Ive been round here too long
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me lo let her go
If youd ever needed someone
One way or another
Whatever I do it seems you criticize
Is there any wonder
The hurt that I feel is so thinly disguised
I cant help but notice
Little things that tell me so much
Is it only a matter of time
Before Im missing your tender touch?
If youd ever needed someone in your life
Maybe then youd know
Why my heart just wants you to stay
But my head tells me to let her go
If youd ever needed someone
If youd put yourself in my place
You could never say whats gone is gone
If youd ever needed someone

Hang In Long Enough
The signs are getting clearer, clearer than you need
The writings on the wall, for you to see
You never thought youd ever get the taste
You never thought that it could be this good
Just tell me what you want and Ill find the key
Reach out and touch its all yours.
If you hang in long enough, youll do it
Just hang in long enough
Youre down on the ground, or so you say
Youd sell the hole in your pocket, if you could find a way
Dont ask me how I know, you dont wanna hear
Its been a long hard road, and the end is getting near.
You never thought youd ever get the chance
You never thought your break would come along
If you tell me what you want, Ill find the key
Just reach out and touch its all yours
If you hang in...
They always say
The best things in life are free
But you want to have everything
Well youre going to have to beg if you want it all.
So hang in long enough, youll do it
Hang in long enough
Theyll let you out, then pull you in
Playing hell with your emotions,
Youll feel like giving in.
So just hang in long enough...

Childs Garden
(myles goodwyn)
Published by goody two tunes, inc. - bmi
Not so long ago, when I was just a child
I never realized the way I felt inside
And how much you meant to me
How much you meant to me
And I dont think Ive ever told you so
And I thought youd like to know
That now I see and I can understand
I understand
I was unkind, I must have been blind to your sorrow
And night after night, trying to live with your sorrow
And I was a bastard and I was wrong
And I was lost in things Ive done
And I was stealing just for fun
And it was breaking your heart
So long ago, when I was just a child
I never understood, never realized
How much you meant to me
How much you meant to me
And I dont think Ive ever told you so
And I thought youd like to know
That now I see and I can understand
I understand
I was unkind, I mustve been blind to your sorrow
Night after night, tryin to live with your sorrow
I was unsure, and lookin for more, I was anxious
To be on my own, livin at home I was restless
And I was a bastard and I was wrong
And I was lost in the things Id done
And I was stealin for fun
And it was breakin your heart
It was breakin your heart

If You Were A Bluebird
(butch hancock)
If you were a bluebird youd be a sad one
Id give you a true word
But youve already had one
If you were a bluebird,
Youd be crying
Youd be flying home
If you were a raindrop,
Youd shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop,
The conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop,
Youd be falling
Youd be calling home
If you were a hotel
Honey, youd be a grand one
But, if you hit a slow spell,
Do you think you could stand one
If you were a hotel,
Well Id lean on your doorbell
Id call you my home
If I was a highway,
Id stretch alongside you
Id help you pass by ways
That had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway,
Well Id be stretchin
Id be fetchin you home

Love Will Follow
I run out of breath and start to shake
I love you with all my heart can take
I hold you beside me in my sleep
And long to be dreaming in my sleep
Weve come into a place in time
Where I am yours and youre mine
A circle filled with love
If youll come away with me
I could show you ecstasy
Close your eyes and we will lead
And love will follow
Take a chance and hold my hand
I know youll understand
Well find a special land
And love will follow
A smile on your lips and in your eyes
A stranger adrift in paradise
You touch me and slowly move away
Take all of the night you need to take
Just wait a little while and see
What you mean to me
Ive waited all my life
If you come away with me
I could show you ecstasy
Close your eyes and we will lead
And love will follow
Use your wings and fly away
And come with me today
Your heart will lead the way
And love will follow
(if this was just a chance of make-believe)
(youd never feel it this way)
Ive always wanted to love somebody
As much as i, I wanted you now
Weve come into a place in time
Where I am yours and youre mine
A circle filled with love
If youll come away with me
I could show you ecstasy
Close your eyes and we will lead
And love will follow
Take a chance and hold my hand
I know youll understand
Well find a special land
And love will follow
Girl, I swear Ill never fall
Its a natural pure law
And everywhere we go
Love will follow
Use your wings to fly away
And come with me today
Your heart will lead the way
And love will follow

I Dont Want To Be Your Lover
Rick astley
I dont want to be your lover
Last night I heard you creeping
I was almost sleeping
When I heard you come home
You knew I loved you madly
And I would gladly
Do anything for you
You climbed the stairs to heaven
But you may never climb those steps again
You thought youd be forgiven
But I was driven to make you understand
I dont want to be your lover
When theres another lover in your head
I dont want to be your lover
When theres another lover in your bed
Tell me how you could do it
Why put me through it
When you said youd be true
You said that it was nothing
But it was something
And sometimes thats enough
So climb the stairs to heaven
But you may never climb those steps again
You thought youd be forgiven
But I was driven to make you understand
I dont want to be your lover
When theres another lover in your head
I dont want to be your lover
When theres another lover in your bed
(instrumental)
You climbed the stairs to heaven
But you may never climb those steps again
You thought youd be forgiven
But I was driven to make you understand
I dont want to be your lover
When theres another lover in your head
I dont want to be your lover
When theres another lover in your bed

Waiting On A Miracle
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
A prima donna or a debutante, you say
A first offender, you had your chance, and you threw it away
So why dont you just get on your pony
And ride out somewhere where you can be lonely
All by yourself, instead of tellin me
Here we are, and we never get very far
Things are never as you say they are
And youd rather be somewhere else in time
Anywhere, well you dont mind
The legal tender was the motive for your shame
You knew the truth, but never took the blame, you knew it was wrong
But never one to open your heart
You held it inside till it tore you apart
And you couldnt go on, and now youre tellin me
Here we are, and we never get very far
Things are never as you say they are
And youd rather be somewhere else in time
Anywhere, well you dont mind
Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle
Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time
Under pressure till it got the best of you
False images, silhouettes, the old and the new
Nothing ventured, theres nothing gained
You take your chance, it may never come again
Then throw it away, and dont go tellin me
Here we are, and we never get very far
Things are never as you say they are
And Id rather be somewhere else in time
Anywhere, well I dont mind
Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle
Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time

So-called Chaos
Deadlines, meetings and contracts all breached
D-days and structure responsibility
Have-to's and need-to's and get-to's by three
Eleventh hours and upset employees
I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that youd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to who I was meant to be
Heartburn and headaches and soon-to-be ulcers
Compulsive yearnings non-stop to please others
I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that youd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet
All wont be lost if Im governed by my own uniqueness
Stop lights won't work I'll get home sound and safe regardless
Wont deem me had if I'm led by my own rulelessness
My fire wont quell and Ill be harm-free and distressless
Trust me
Line towing, and helping, expectations up to living
Inside box obeying, inside line cutting
I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that youd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations at the shoes upon my feet
I want to be naked, running through the streets
I want to invite this so called chaos, that youd think I dare not be
I want to be weightless, flying through the air
I want to drop all these limitations and return to who I was meant to be

The Stone
The stone
The stone by the dave matthews band
Ive this creeping, suspicion that things here are not as they seem.
Reassure me, oh why do I feel as if Im in too deep.
Now Ive been praying, for some way to show them Im not what they see.
Yes I have done wrong, but what I did I thought needed be done, I swear.
Oh, unholy day, if I leave now I might get away.
Oh but this weighs on me, as heavy as stone and as blue as I go.
I was just wondering if youd come along.
Hold up my head when my head wont hold on.
Ill do the same if the sames what you want,
If not Ill go, I will go a long...
..long way, ah, from that fools mistake.
And now forever pay, no run, I will run and Ill be ok.
I was just wondering if youd come along.
Hold up my head when my head wont hold on.
Ill do the same if the sames what you want,
But if not Ill go, I will go a long...
...long way, to bury the past for I dont want to pay.
Oh how I wish, this, to turn back the clock and do over again.
Now Im hust wondering if youd come a-long.
Hold up my head when my head wont hold on.
Ill do the same if the sames what you want,
But if not Ill go, Ill go alone.
I need so, to stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close.
And now it weighs on me, as heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold.
I was just wondering if youd come a--long.
Tell me you will.

Whose head was bending lord
I met him in the evening
He was headed down that long lonesome road
(well now youd better run)
Run when I say, somebodys calling you

Summer Side Of Life
He came down throught fields of green
On the summer side of life
His love was ripe
There were no illusions
On the summer side of life
Only tenderness
And if you saw him now
Youd wonder why he would cry
The whole day long
There were young girls everywhere
On the summer side of life
The talked all night
To the young men that they knew
On the summer side of life
Goin off to fight
And if you saw them now
Youd wonder why they would cry
The whole day long
He came down through field of green
On the summer side of life
He prayed all night
Then he walked into a house
Where love had been misplaced
His chance to waste
And if you saw him now
Youd wonder why he would cry
The whole day long

Your eyes like a flash of lightning
The answer to all desire
And Im gonna tame you, wild thing

And Ive tired of waiting (oooh-a-la-la)

And my patience is fading (oooh-a-la-la)

The Fowls Flying In The Air
Methinks I see a sight most excellent,
All sorts of birds fly in the firmament:
Some great, some small, all of a divers kind,
Mine eye affecting, pleasant to my mind.
Look how they tumble in the wholesome air,
Above the world of worldlings, and their care.
And as they divers are in bulk and hue,
So are they in their way of flying too.
So many birds, so many various things
Tumbling i' the element upon their wings.
Comparison.
These birds are emblems of those men that shall
Ere long possess the heavens, their all in all.
They are each of a diverse shape and kind,
To teach we of all nations there shall find.
They are some great, some little, as we see,
To show some great, some small, in glory be.
Their flying diversely, as we behold,
Do show saints' joys will there be manifold;
Some glide, some mount, some flutter, and some do,
In a mix'd way of flying, glory too.
And all to show each saint, to his content,
Shall roll and tumble in that firmament.

Try to Understand Me Too (Autism)
Today might not be my day,
You might understand what I want to say.
There are times that I want to wave my hand,
And you might think it is something that I am trying to demand.
Can you hear the soun
ds as I pound my feet,
Well maybe not, but all I am doing is trying to sound a beat.
Do you remember when I read the book with you?
It was about the ghost and you made me laugh when you said BOO.
I love to hear it when we whisper and shout Lullabies, songs and rhymes,
To me I wonder, if they can hear us while we do this during school time.
This is one reason why I always say things over and over again,
And when you try to stop me, I get mad every now and then.
I only wish I can understand everything that I'm being told,
But to me it feels like I am always being controlled.
Can you remember when you asked the class a question and I wanted to answer it when was not my turn,
All I am just trying to do is show you that I can remember things that I learn.
I try to understand why I get so mad and I cannot control myself and I hurt you,
When I think about it I get sad and cry because I wish someone could, Try to Understand Me Too.
I wish the other kids would let me play,
If they took the time to talk to me, they might understand things my way,
I also love it when you want to teach me how to pray,
And you ask the Lord to help thru this day,
I know that you understand me and even, if no one ever wants to even take a guess,
So, this is my ways of saying thank you and telling you that I will always try and do my best.

Goin Home
Midnight on a southern highway
Dont know if Im going the right way
I havent seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since Ive seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
Ive got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
Im drivin as fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waitin there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
Youre the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
Im a man in emotion
With only one compulsion
Ive got to follow these dreams inside my heart
Im not looking for a fight
No ones wrong and no ones right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
Im doin the best that I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin home
And I hope that its still waitin there for me
Solo
I thought youd might understand
Im drivinas fast as I can
And you said youd wait for me
Chorus
Goin home
Cause Ive been away much too long
Goin home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin home
Going back where I left my family
Goin home
And I hope that theyre still waiting there for me
Going home
Going home

You Know What To Do
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
The night is filled with pretty girls
Dancing shoes and flying hair
Not one of them would refuse
To follow you up the stairs
You could have your pick of them
Why decide to pick on me
You promised me youd stay away
You promised me youd set me free
Pounding of my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings Ill just never understand
Chorus:
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do to me
You know what it does to me
You know what to do
The night is filled with shooting stars
I watch them fall cause I cant sleep
I pray that you wont call at all
Im still awake at ten to three
I hear your motorcycle roar
You pull up short outside my door
I dont know how I got outside
I dont know why Im on this ride
We make love like a house on fire
We make love like dogs gone mad
Somethings Ill just never understand

Pounding out my heart
Trembling of my hands
Somethings Ill just never understand

While I Cry
They told me what youd do
If I ever stayed with you.
They told me that youd laugh
While I cried.
They told me what youd say
That youd turn and walk away
And find another place to play,
While I cried.
Now I think back on those times
I didnt read between the lines.
How all the things that you said
Never seemed to match the things you did.
Thoughts keep turning round in my mind
Now I see reason and rhyme.
Time spent with you has brought me something
And Ive lost nothing if you are that kind.
They told me what youd do
If I ever stayed with you
And sure enough,
It all came true.

Blue blue days, and long black nights
Lonesome tears youre gonna cry for me
And little baby
Youd better start baby
And leave
Think it over before you leave
I got the love - that kind you need
And little baby
Youd better start baby
And leave
Ill rave on with the things you say
You say youre gonna leave but thatll be the day
Maybe baby, you dont know
I left peggy sue, a long time ago
Shes the girl on my mind
Everyday through all the time
And little baby
Youd better start baby
And leave
Solo
Ill rave on with those things you say
You say youre gonna leave but thatll be the day
Maybe baby, you dont know

Shes the girl on my mind
Everyday through all the time

17 Again
Yay though we venture through
The valley of the stars
You and all your jewelry
And my bleeding heart
Who couldnt be together
And who could not be apart
We shouldve jumped out
Of that airplane after all
Flying skyways overhead
It wasnt hard to fall
And I had so many crashes
That I couldnt feel
At all...
And it feels like
Im seventeen again
Feels like Im seventeen
Times might break you
God forsake you
Leave you burned and bruised
Innocence will teach you
What it feels like to be used
Thought that youd done everything
You didnt have a clue
And it feels like
Im seventeen again
Feels like Im seventeen
Looking from the outside in
Some things never change
Hey hey Im a million miles away
Funny how it seems like yesterday ...
All those fake celebrities
And all those viscous queens
All the stupid papers
And the stupid magazines
Sweet dreams are made of anything
That gets you in the scene
And it feels like
Im seventeen again
Feels like Im seventeen
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybodys looking for something
Yea
