Why Cant We
Look how the wind carries the seed
See how the soil supplies what it needs
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks free
And it all works together, why cant we
And I have seen children at play in the park
Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
Well, my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
They were playing together, why cant we
Chorus:
Why cant we, why cant we
I can love you and you can love me
Why cant we, why cant we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why cant we
I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
They were playing together and there was peace in the land
And swords became plowshares cause there were no enemies
And I woke up and wondered, God why cant we
Repeat chorus

Why Can't We
Look how the wind carries the sea
And see how the soul supplies what it needs
The rain falls, the sun shines and a flower breaks reed
And it all works together, why can't we
And I have seen children at play in the park
Skin shades of ivory, red, yellow and dark
While my eyes saw colors their little hearts could not see
They were playing together, why can't we
Why can't we
Why can't we
I can love you and you can love me
Why can't we
Why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
And I had a dream about a lion and a lamb
They were laying together and there was peace in the land
And so it became precious 'cause there were no enemies
And I woke up and wondered, God why can't we
Why can't we
Why can't we
I can you love you and you can love me
Why can't we
Why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
Set our foolish pride free, just be and let be
Why can't we
Oooooh, why can't we

Let's Get Free
I went searching
For something I could believe
So I turned on the TV
I was fed hypocrisy
Leading me towards the sea
Of confusion
I heard a voice
Ringing like music in the air
Breaking hearts most everywhere
All the people in despair
Cry out for justice to be fair
To every people
(Chorus)
Saying lets get free, lets get free
Dont just believe in what you hear
Dont just believe in what you see
Lets get free, lets get free
You gotta open up your mind
Cause truth is what ya need, oh truth is what you need
Our love
Can prop you up and make you stand
Some are sinking in the sand
With all that silver in their hand
Take a message to that man
That wisdom is power
And tell me now
You have Allah on your side
Or is it Jesus or your pride
Will it get you through the night
Every man has to have something to believe in
(Chorus)
Lets get free, lets get free
You gotta believe in what you feel
And feel what you believe
Lets get free, lets get free
oh love is all you need
Before the dawn
Comes the darkest hour of night
Either walk into the light
Or you turn and close your eyes
And fade into a dreamless sleep and hide
Every human
Is gonna laugh and sometimes cry
Every tear that fills your eyes
Falls with the weight of sacrifice
Forgiveness hears the pain of disappointment
(Chorus)
Lets get free, lets get free
Dont just believe in what you hear
Dont just believe in what you see
Lets get free, oh lets get free
Everythings as it should be
So faith is all you need, oh peace is all you need, oh truth is all you need
yeah oh
What the world needs now is love love love
What the world needs now is love love love
What the world needs now is love love love

Unreleased impossible princess track
Its night time,
Were driving,
Lights go by and make stars in my eyes.
Its cold out and its warm in,
When I have you by my side.
And I know this is special,
When the breeze is on my face.
For now and for always Ill dream about this time and place
Chorus:
This is the feeling I want for always,
This is the feeling I want for always,
Free, so free.
Its special,
The feeling,
Its really nice,
So nice and new.
Slip into, believe it,
Well do whatever we choose.
And I know this is magic,
On the road to God knows where,
For now and forever Ill dream about this time we share

Free, so free
This is the feeling I want for always,
This is the feeling I want for always,
Oh i,

Free At Last
Now I am trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give you insight might just change your life
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,
Im free from fooling round wasting time,
Floating in this abyss of your dreadful love
Free is a feeling so high in the sky
Higher higher higher
Free from the quarrels unsatisfaction
Free from the false dream that you planted
In me with your submissive love
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,
Now I am open like the sky
For the sun to shine and colors true
To find me blue
Oh what a joy to be free
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,
Im free of cheating your poor heart at my own damn expense
The cost was heavy and it rent as a thunder cloud
A hurricane sure racked in my heart
Now the rain is gone and I am gone
Yes, I am moving on
Im free at last, Im free at last, Im free at last,

Set It Free
I can see the rain,
Come into my room again.
Broken window pane,
Now reminds me Im alive.
Could it be right,
Givin up, my darlin?
Ill wait for you now,
To remind me why Ive gone.
How I love to write,
Songs that have no answers.
Oh, theres nothin on my mind,
That I want to let go of.
Letting it go on pretendin,
Everything has its way of endin.
And Im a loner,
The way I should be.
Set it free,
Let it free my love to fly,
Set it free.
Set it free,
Let it free my love to be,
Can I be free?
(instrumental)
Still its gotta rain,
Wonder when Ill see a change in weather.
Somethins gettin tangled up again,
And I cant find an end.
Cant let it go on returnin,
Ive given everything that the harlequin boy can find.
And Im tired of trying,
Id rather leave than tell lies.
Set it free,
Let it free my love to fly,
Set it free.
Set it free,
Let it free my love to be,
Youll be free.
Youll be free my love to fly,
Free to be what I cant face.
In love again,
Set it free.
Free,
Set it free,
Set it free my love.
Free,
Set it free,
Set it free my love.

Foolish Pride
She stayed up all night
And cried into her pillow
And fought off the urge
To just break down and call
Last night the fight, the fall
Seemed so darned easy
But now who's to blame
Don't matter much at all
She thinks if she calls him
It just shows weakness
So the hurt goes on
With every tear she's cried
Ain't it sad to see
A good love fall to pieces?
Chalk another heartbreak up
To foolish pride
[CHORUS]
Turn out the lights
The competition's over
The stubborn souls
Are the losers here tonight
And while the bridges burn
Another hard, hard lesson's learned
As in the ashes
Passion slowly dies
And this romance goes down
To foolish pride
He relives every word
They spoke in anger
He walks the floor
And punches out the wall
To apologize to her
Would be so simple
But instead he cries
"I'll be damned if I call"
If he loses her
He's lost his best friend
And more than just
A lover can provide
So he wrestles with emotions
That defeat him
Chalk another love lost up
To foolish pride
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Chalk another love lost up
To foolish pride
Yeah

Lion's Pride
The Lion, He sits upon the mountain.
Watching over the pride, which is His joy.
Emotionless.
He shows no fear.
With Him, a calmness and peace.
He struts with confidence.
As he approaches the pride,
No one will challenge Him.
He is Alpha.
The true leader.
Both Trusting and trusted.
When confronted, it is not His pride He protects.
To protect His pride is foolish.
He knows He is Alpha
It is the pride,
The pride is for Him to sacrifice for.
The Lioness respects him
He is the head of the pride.
He loves Her and for the pride would lay down His life.
It is His cross to bear.
For it was the role, He was born to play.
As the Lion leads the pride,
A man should lead His pride & joy.
Whatever pride He protects,
Determines if He is Alpha.

You Are The Flower
You never lose a minute, if in it there is love
And old man time always pulls you through
Its better not to depend on the morning dew
For the rose you plant in your bed tends to you, hard and blue
Some folks take money, some take their life, some take forever to see
Blind faith, blind love, theyre no mystery to me
You must take the time, for thats the fee
Chorus:
Its worth the pain that makes the tears
Its worth the light of a million years
Only your love I cant explain, you are the flower for my rain
You light the sun that shines from my eyes
Its all in return for what youre givin me
You are the reason for the earth beneath my feet
And you kill the space that I call free
Chorus:
(instrumental break)
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain
You are the flower for my rain, you are the flower for my rain

Easy To Love You
By randy travis
Intro:
You were pure to me as fresh untraveled snow
Skin as soft as a petal, of an uncut rose
I gave you all I had everything I own
Right down to the pedestal, I put you on
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away
Well this morning when I woke up
I knew everything had changed
But it aint so simple for a man
Whose whole world he has to rearrange
Chorus:
Said you found something in another
You just couldnt find in me
Baby I love you so much
But I guess Ill have to set you free
And it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away
Ive been pleading with my maker
To ease this pain and take my pride
But it still feels like my hearts been
Laid open wide
My hands are shaking and I think
Of all I have to do
My life will never be the same
Not like it was with you
Repeat chorus:
Lord it was so easy to love you
So hard to walk away

Take A Ride
Listen Baby
You need direction, Love and Affection
Someone to be there, a man that truly cares
Put your trust in me, and I will set you free
I know of a better place
And I happen to be going that way
[Chorus]
Take a ride, Win me baby
On a highway that leads to love
Come with me, sail free under the sky way
Just both of us
[Repeat]
Relax, enjoy the ride
Cuz soon we will be there
Leave troubles way behind
Cuz joy is waiting there
So hold on to my hand
Picture us on a island
Making love on the pouring rain
You and me will be like cast away
[Chorus]
Soon well reach our destiny
Once were there we'll know we're free
Your body screaming as we lay
Girl our love, take us away

I'm Free
I'm free
as free as the birds
as free as the clouds
as free as the wind.
I'm free to sing
even if my voice
is not like the voice of an angel
I'm free to dance
even if I'm out of the rhythm
I'm free to cry
even if it means to worry you
I'm free to laugh
even if my heart is aching
I'm free to love
even if it will only hurt me
I'm free to dream
even if I cannot reach it.
I'm free
as free as the birds
as free as the clouds
as free as the wind.
I'm free to be happy
even if I'm in the middle of crisis
I'm free to live
even if it will then
end in dying.
I'm free
as free as the birds
as free as the clouds
as free as the wind.
I'm free...
I'm free!

Ill Never Set You Free
Theres nothing I can say
Theres nothing I can do
To show you the love
That I got for you
Theres nothing in this world
That could ever take your place
When I look into your eyes
I see a sweet face
Ill never set you free
till you give your love to me
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
And I need you (Ill never set, set you free)
Yes I want you (Ill never set, set you free)
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
Will you open up your heart
So love could make a start
I know that if you do
Dreams will come true
Ill never set you free
till you give your love to me
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
And I need you (Ill never set, set you free)
Yes I want you (Ill never set, set you free)
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
Ill never set you free
till you give your love to me
Theres nothing you can do
To stop my love for you
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)
And I need you (Ill never set, set you free)
Yes I want you (Ill never set, set you free)
cos I love you (Ill never set, set you free)

A Day In Park
swings, slides and sand
the park so peaceful early in the day
the sun rising, shadows casting across the grass
the breeze flow so soft, quiet and free
the ball diamond so peaceful and empty
soon the sounds of children laughing and parents chatting
the park comes to life with all to enjoy
dogs playing catch, kids flying kites
grills cooking and picnics galore
the fields so full from footballs to baseballs
playing catch, to playing tag
reading on a bench, laying on a blanket for a tan
the park so pictureous and a masterpiece
It's art and spirit so priceless
we never have enough parks for all to see
to be free and play
Parks nature's playground for us to play

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Gagged, balled and chained

Mauled by a hound
Hangin around

I dont know when Ill be found
Set me free

Ah, ah, ah set me free
Ah, ah, ah set me free from you
Taken by force
By you of course
Far from my bed

Burn me insane
Makin your mark
Dont leave me here in the dark

American Hearts
(dominic bugatti, frank musker)
They were married in september back in 1969
They traveled east to india to find some peace of mind
They stood for love and freedom
They were children of their time, wo wo
They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring
They swore they would change it with love and sharing
They never lived like their parents had done
Their innocence shone like the sun
(chorus)
American hearts, so filled with emotion
American hearts, so easily broken
Now theyve got a family and a cottage in the hills
Hes always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills
And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo
Who are these strangers who used to be lovers?
Now theyve got nothing to say to each other
Too far apart to discuss their mistakes
They fought with divorce and it breaks their
(chorus)
Now that its over, they each go on living
Never forgetting but somehow forgiving
Theyll care for their children
Protect them with pride
And thats how the dream will survive in
(repeat chorus)

Dancing In The Rain
Let the children dance
In the rain
They are free!
Let them run on the
Green grass in the rain
They are free!
Let us hear their sounds
Of excitement
They are free!
Let us see them drink
Raindrops
They are free!
Their shoulders caressed
By rain dropping from
Roof tops to their toes
Let us see them
Play in the rain and in the
Mud
Let them get dirty
Let them be washed by the rain again
They are free!
Don’t you see we are all
These children dancing
In the rain?
We are free!

Like A Bird
Chorus:
I would do anything if I could fly
Escape into the sky
Im feeling like a bird
I would do anything if I could see
The world in harmony
Im feeling like a bird
Chorus b:
Im feeling like a bird
I spread my wings and fly away
Im feeling like a bird
I close my eyes my dreams come true for one day
Vers 1:
In these days,
Dont know whats right or wrong
The world has gone to far
I found a little something to hold on
And then I see a rainbow shining through the clouds
See the birds are flying, they are free no doubt
And imagine its me, imagine its me
I wish I would have wings
Vers 2:
Tell me why, this circle never ends
When will we ever learn
All the cultures in this world come to one sense
But then I see the children playing in the street
Will they have a future, and enough to eat
And I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I hope my dreams comes true
Mid-part:
Free, free like a bird
What is this world without love
Free, free like a bird
From high above

All Of You
(robert ellis orrall, anna wilson, rebecca maples)
I think about
Holding you and kissing you
Wanting you and missing you
Clock is ticking and the wind is howling and
Im just staring at the candle burning
Bottle of red that we never opened
Your voice in my head tossing and turning
The radio is playing our song
Cant sing along, cant even listen
I dial your number but I dont let it ring
Chorus:
I think about holding you and kissing you
Wanting you and missing you
Building up and breaking down walls
I dream about finding you and keeping you
Loving you and living you
Im telling you
I want it all, all of you
I cant let go and I cant keep
Holdin on to nothing but I just
Keep trying to tell myself theres
A damn good reason but its not
Enough to keep me from crying
Ive memorized every look, every touch
Every time you told me our hearts werent lying
Im wondering now do you even know
Repeat chorus
I cant break free of you
I dont know how
Oh Im not about
To let go
Of you
I love you
I need you now
Repeat chorus
All of you
