Where No One Stands Alone
(words & music by mosie lister)
Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried oh lord
Dont hide your face from me
Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I dont know a thing
In this whole wide world
Thats worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way, every hour every day
Come here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Take My Hand, Precious Lord
(words & music by thomas a. dorsey)
Precious lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
Im tired, Im weak, Im lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home
When my way grows drear precious lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home
When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home
Precious lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
Im tired, Im weak, Im lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home

You Dont Say Us Anymore
Giving you an ultimatum
Try to figure out why you
Act the way you do ,avoiding me
And trying to keep your distance
Saw your image in a photograph
Couldnt cry so I had to laugh
And the jealousy that I felt inside
Gave way to pure frustration
And you dont fool me with your sexy innuendos
And all the secrets you hide
You find adventure when your sleeping
In a brave new world
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont)
I stand alone (no you dont)
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
But you dont say us anymore (no you dont)
And the light is gone (no you dont)
No you dont say us anymore , anymore
(you dont say us , you dont say us)
Like the devil in the deep blue sea
Gotta have you and must be free
And all you do is torture me
And question what I stand for
Im a victim of circumstance
Just like in modern romance
And in my situation we go
Straight to a hotel room
And we take our chances
And when I met you ,
You were standin in the moonlight
And your defences were down
I took advantage of a golden opportunity
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont)
I stand alone (no you dont)
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
Soon , when the night is young
Ill be old and gone
All because Im down
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
(break)
And you dont fool me with your sexy innuendos
And all the secrets you hide
You find adventure when your
Sleeping in a brave new world
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont)
I stand alone (no you dont )
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
Come , hold me like before
Do the things you need to do
What I asked before
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
But you dont see me anymore (no you dont )
I stand alone (no you dont )
Your head is full of illusions
Your heart is stone
(you dont say us , you dont say us )
Come , hold me like before
Do the things you used to do
What I asked before

Hold My Hand
With a little love, and some tenderness
Well walk upon the water
Well rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
Well take the world together
Well take em by the hand
cause Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
Well take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, cause
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Wont you let me run with you? yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I dont wanna be part of your problems
Dont wanna be part of your crowd, no
cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
cause I wanna run with you
Ah, wont you let me run with you?
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I...oh...no, no, no, no, no
Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we cant change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, best that I can
Oh, the best that I can

Lord Hold My Hand
Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light:
Refrain
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.
When my way grows drear,
Precious Lord, linger near,
When my life is almost gone,
Hear my cry, hear my call,
Hold my hand lest I fall:

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand,
Guide my feet, hold my hand:

The Law
How many times did you call me
And I knew it was late
I left everybody
But I never went straight
I dont claim to be guilty
But I do understand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Now my hearts like a blister
From doing what I do
If the moon has a sister
Its got to be you
Im going to miss you forever
Tho its not what I planned
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Now the deal has been dirty
Since dirty began
Im not asking for mercy
Not from the man
You just dont ask for mercy
While youre still on the stand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
I dont claim to be guilty
Guiltys too grand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Thats all I can say, baby
Thats all I can say
It wasnt for nothing
That they put me away
I fell with my angel
Down the chain of command
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand
Theres a law, theres an arm, theres a hand

You Dont Anymore
(toby keith/eric silver)
We stood at the altar, repeating our vows for life
For better or worse, forever a husband and wife
Loves not always easy and dreams dont all come true
Whyd you lose your faith in me, I never gave up on you
When I said I do, I did, and the words were truly spoken
I gave you my heart to hold thinkin it would go unbroken
You drifted so far you cant see the stars that we wished upon before
When I said I do, I did, but you dont anymore
These days nobody seems to try
To love through the hard times instead of just saying goodbye
We built this world around us, together hand in hand
And even if you walk away, it wont change where I stand
When I said I do, I did, and the words were truly spoken
I gave you my heart to hold thinkin it would go unbroken
You drifted so far you cant see the stars that we wished upon before
When I said I do, I did, but you dont anymore
You drifted so far you cant see the stars that we wished upon before
When I said I do, I did, but you dont anymore

Inside The Puppet Head
As your body floats down third street
With the burn-smell factory closing up
Yes its sad to say you will romanticize
All the things youve known before
It was not not not so great
It was not not not so great
And as you take a bath in that beaten path
Theres a pounding at the door
Well its a mighty zombie talking of some love and posterity
He says the good old days never say good-bye
If you keep this in your mind:
You need some lo-lo-loving arms
You need some lo-lo-loving arms
And as you fall from grace the only words you say are
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Ads up in the subway are the work of someone
Trying to please their boss
And though the guys a pig we all know what he wants
Is just to please somebody else
If the pu-pu-puppet head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
It would be a better thing for everyone involved
And we wouldnt have to cry
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Memo to myself: do the dumb things I gotta do
Touch the puppet head
Quit my job down at the carwash
Didnt have to write no-one a good-bye note
That said, the checks in the mail, and
Ill see you in church, and dont you ever change
If the pu-pu-puppet head
Was only bu-bu-busted in
Ill see you after school
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside the puppet head
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside
Put your hand inside the puppet head

Take My Hand Precious Lord
Precious lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
Im tired, Im weak, Im lone
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home
When my way grows drear precious lord linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious lord, lead me home

And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand

You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone
I need a breeze blowing softly
To keep my wind vane from standing
I need a whole lot of sunshine
To keep my sundial advancing
I need some soil fore my grass will grow
I need some spark to make my candle glow
Relief I cried
Aint no shuck n jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone
I need a spark by a fire
To stop the cold of my winter
I need a burst of your raindrops
To keep a flow in my river
I need a call for my phone will ring
I need your song for my voice will sing
Please realize
Im not half alive
Without a mess of help to stand alone

To heat my frostbitten sorrow
I need your hand on my shoulder
To lead todays to tomorrows
I need your strength to lock me to the track
I need your trust to bust the things I lack
Belief I cried
Aint no shuck n jive
I need a mess of help to stand alone

Before the altar of life
Before the altar of life
He stands with a bowed head
and nail marked hands spread wide.
Some prayers rise up to Him
and in the souls of others
there’s some cry out that He hears.
He stands there longing for the breaking day
when He will wipe all tears away
from the cheeks of those that follow Him
He was once clothed
in humanity and now is at His place
at the right hand of the Almighty One.
“See my blood and offering, ”
says He to His great Father
while they measure the insignificant lifes,
words and deeds of man.

Psalm 21
With a crown of gold upon His head
He is the king of the living and the dead
And all who are alive in Christ will see
That they once were bound but now are free
The power of life is in His hand
Yet in the darkness His enemies stand
And the light of Christ it shines from above
From darkness to light, from hatred to love
Into His hand God delivers them all
The great and the lowly, the short and the tall
And who can resist when Christ Knocks on the door
The broken, the crushed, the rich and the poor
Come one, come all come now in the day
Come now while there's light, with heads bowed to pray
And though you be many come shout with one voice
For salvation we praise you, in this we rejoice!

Dont Let Go
Words and music: mike reno, brian macleod
Does anybody out there
Ever want to stand up
And shout it out
Tired of going nowhere fast
Gotta turn your world about
You know you have to keep on tryin
Cause sooner or later
You get what you want
Show em what youre made of
Ohh, its just a matter of time
So tell me can you feel it
Can you touch it
If you feel it in the palm of your hand
Dont let go
Aint it funny how the gross looks greener
On the other side of town
Dont you ever get tired of feelin
Like the whole world is bringing you down
Nows the time to get things movin
Follow what youre feelin
Prove that you can do it
Show what you believe in
Ohh, its just a matter of time
Tell me, can you feel if
Can you touch it
If you feel it in the palm of your hand
Dont let go
Tell me, can you feel if
Con you touch it
If you feel it in the palm of your hand
Dont let go
I know where you con get it
If anybody wants if
I know if made you feel so right
All you gotta do is stand up and be counted
Show me that youre out there tonight
Can you feel it
Can you touch if
If you feel it in the palm of your hand
Dont let go
Come on
Can you feel it
Can you touch it
If you feel it in the palm of your hand
Dont let go
Tell me, can you feel it
Can you touch it
If you feel it in the palm of your hand
Baby, dont let go
Dont let go
Dont let go
Dont let go

Hand Over Fist
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
Hand over fist
Paper around the stone
Scissors cut the paper
Cut the paper to the bone
Hand over fist
Paper around the stone
Scissors cut the paper
And the rock must stand alone
I could disappear into the crowd
But not if I keep my head in the clouds
I could walk away so proud
Its easy enough if you dont laugh too loud
I thought I was okay alone
Wait for the postman and the telephone
Lost in a world of my own
I thought I could run alone
Thought I could run through the night alone
Hand over hand
Doesnt seem so much
Hand over hand
Is the strength of the common touch
You talk as we walk along
You never imagined I could be so wrong
Humming your favorite song
You know Ive hated that song for so long
How can we ever agree?
Like the rest of the world
We grow farther apart
I swear you dont listen to me
Holding my hand to my heart
Holding my fist to my racing heart
Take a walk outside myself
In some exotic land
Greet a passing stranger
Feel the strength in his hand
Feel the world expand
I feel my spirit resist
But I open up my fist
Lay hand over hand over
Hand over fist

Stand Beside Me
He left me cryin late one sunday night outside of boulder
He said he had to find himself out on the road
I guess when love goes wrong
Youve gotta learn to be strong
So I worked two jobs and I moved three times
I ended up south of memphis workin down in riverside
I may not be so lucky in love
But the one thing Im sure of
I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart
Stand beside me
Be true dont tell lies to me
Im not lookin for a fantasy
I want a man that who stands beside me
I didnt expect to see him one hot july morning
His hair was longer but his eyes were the same old blue
He said, Ive missed you for so long. oh baby, what can I do
I said, I want a man that stands beside me
Not in front of or behind me
Give me two arms that want to hold me not own me
And Ill give all the love in my heart
Its hard to tell him no when I want him so bad
But Ive got to be true to my heart this time
Im not lookin for a fantasy
I want a man who stands beside me
I want a man
Who stands beside me
Stand beside me
Stand beside me

Just leave it to me
Dont ever be ashamed
Just give me a chance
Ill take care of everything
Your troubles Ill share
Let me know and Ill be there

Anyplace and anywhere
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
Be truthful to me,

Im in love with you so
Till I dont know what to do

Except dont forget to pray
And shake a hand evry day
Shake a hand, shake a hand,

Cinder Alley
Lovely lovely carol sue
I see the heel of the father
Crush the head of the serpent for you
An that beast who found
His way up to your room
You know the one the one
Whos colors are never true
Yeah you do
Yet all the while neath
His banner you did stand
neath the shadow of his wing
Do you remember
Sorrow stands near an close at hand
Sorrow stands an in sorrows hand
The burning ember
Hell come a cinder
Fire call the kettle black
The dark can only hinder it
It will not hold you back
Nor tear you asunder
And the good shepherd
Lo he left all the others
An went to look for you
Yes an he did find thee
An with bruised hands
He did unbind thee
Brought you out
Into the light of day
Hell come a cinder
Fire call the kettle black
The dark can only hinder it
It will not hold you back
Nor tear you asunder
O come and stand with me mother
As we wait for the masters voice
An head that way together
Hell come a cinder
Fire call the kettle black
The dark can only hinder it
It will not hold you back
Nor tear you asunder

The Chornicles of a Dark Heart Part 15 The Invisible Person
The only thing you can see
is but a part of me
you need to do more more. then just care
you say i can see you, i know you, but dont you dare
don't lie, you don't know anything
without your stars i can't sing
so now I'll stay in my world and you stay in yours
this apathy, no one can see me its eating at my core
This is worse, the darkness worse then acid someone help
I would rather eat my heart seasoned with fresh kelp
Someone save me, o wait you cant see me at all.....
I'll yell and scream, but no answer not even when i cant stand tall
cant stand tall when this happens soon i wont stand at all
I've become invisible, fair lady please see
see me see see me! please see me my dear please through the sea
just see me please help me my dear...

I Dont Know Where I Stand
Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there
Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil and wrote I love you in my finest hand
Wanted to send it, but I dont know where I stand
Telephone, even the sound of your voice is still new
All alone in california and talking to you
And feeling too foolish and strange to say the words that I had planned
I guess its too early, cause I dont know where I stand
Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green
Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream
All muted and misty, so drowsy now Ill take what sleep I can
I know that I miss you, but I dont know where I stand
I know that I miss you, but I dont know where I stand

Thru It All
I used to think that lonely was what Id always be
I used to lie awake at night afraid of facing my fear
But I found my strength, the very day that I found you
My guiding light, just like a fairy tale come true
-bridge-
My self-esteem was low but just like superman
You took me by the hand made me understand
Showed me happiness was never to far- thru it all
Youve been at my back- thru it all
Youre the reason I stand so tall
Youve always been there to catch my fall
Youve been at my back- thru it all
Youve been my boo my best friend and my confidant
When Im sad and blue youre the only one that I want
And youve got a way with words that makes everything okay
Youre poetry in motion you brighten up my night and day
-bridge-
You said dont be afraid and to never doubt myself
And now that I found you I dont want no one else
Wont you take my hand lets reach for the stars- thru it all
Youve been at my back- thru it all
Youre the reason I stand so tall
Youve always been there to catch my fall
Youve been at my back- thru it all
-bridge-
You said dont be afraid and just like superman
You took me by the hand made me understand
Showed me you would be there when I call- thru it all
Youve been at my back- thru it all
Youre the reason I stand so tall
Youve always been there to catch my fall
Youve been at my back- thru it all
Youve been at my back- thru it all
Youre the reason I stand so tall
Youve always been there to catch my fall
Youve been at my back- thru it all
