Jesse Jackson
He was walking with your brother on the streets of alabama
He was marching next to martin when he died
Working face to face in cuba and managua nicaragua
He did not yet beat the devil, but he tried
Chorus:
Hold on brother, jesse jackson
Theres a better world acoming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They aint ready for it yet, but its a start
And you moveem when you hitem in the heart
We must bring it all together we must start right from the bottom
Back to helping one another when we can
cause if hes hungry and hes human and hes fighting for his freedom
Then he shouldnt be too hard to understand
Chorus:
Hold on brother, jesse jackson
Theres a better world acoming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They aint ready for you yet, but its a start
And you moveem when you hitem in the heart
Chorus:
Hold on brother, jesse jackson
Theres a better world acoming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They aint ready for you yet, but its a start
And you moveem when you hitem in the heart

I Hope God Hears Me
so I always know what to say
I hope God hears me speak
because peace is what I seek
I hope God shows me how to cope
so I don't give up the hope
I hope God will stay with me
so I know what I am to be
I hope God will show me how to stand
and always be with me to hold my hand
I hope God will show me the way
so I won't give up in my day
I hope God will be patient with me
so the comfort I will see
I hope God will show me how not to hide
and always be with me by my side
I hope God will show me how to start
so I carry him in my heart
I hope God will keep me from harms
and be there to hold out his arms
I hope God will show me the love
so I will see the peace of the dove
I hope God will show me the lead
so I will find out my need
I hope God will show me how to turn
because I have so much to learn

Be With You
Rick astley & mark king
How can you turn and walk away
Leaving me here with things to say
How can you stand and watch me fall
Dont you feel no love at all
I only want to say to you
That it would break your papas heart
For him to hear the things you say
When we could make a brand new start
(chorus)
Will you hold me in your arms or let me go
Cause I want to show the world how much I know
That I love you
And I only want to be with you
How do I know youll always stay
Youre changing your mind most every day
Im telling you girl dont push too far no
Just who do you think you are
I only want to say to you
That it would break your mamas heart
For her to hear the things you say
When we could make a brand new start
(repeat chorus two times)
Oh I love you so
Are you ready, for a guy like me
Come on baby, Im on bended knee
Are you ready to be loved by me again
I only want to say to you
That it would break my loving heart
For me to see the things you do
When we could make a brand new start
Yes we could make a brand new start
(repeat chorus to fade)

Human Touch
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you dont surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl, aint no kindness in the face of strangers
Aint gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling
I got a deal for you right here
I aint looking for praise or pity
I aint coming round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Aint no mercy on the streets of this town
Aint no bread from heavenly skies
Aint nobody drawing wine from this blood
Its just you and me tonight
Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what Im askins too much
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
Well it comes at a hard hard price
You cant shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
Were all riders on this train
So youve been broken and youve been hurt
Show me somebody who aint
Yeah, I know I aint nobodys bargain
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...
You might need something to hold on to
When all the answers, they dont amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby, in a world without pity
Do you think what Im askins too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch

Whats In Your World
Tell me what world youre living in
Im trying so hard to understand
Searching my soul just so find any line
That connects me to whatever you are hiding
Remember how we used to be
We shared the best baby, the best of everything
Now it seems like were slowly drifting apart
Tell me when did we stop communicating
Heart to heart
Chorus:
Whats in you world
Whatcha trying to hide from me
I cant fight what I cant see
I need so know whats going on
Whats in your world
Im standing here with a broken heart
Trying to stop before l start
Falling all over again
Baby I need to know
Need for you to show
Whats in your world
Girl lm not ready to walk away from you
Unless you say that its over and done, I know
Iii do what I gotta do
Lts time to remind you that loves on the line
So baby say what you gotta say
But if youre gonna walk away (tell me)
Chorus: (repeat)
Now Im sure you understand
That a man must be a man
Ive got so many promises to keep
Maybe lm in too deep
Cant see tho other side
And baby all I want to do is satisfy
How can I give you what you need
When youre not telling me

Listen To Your Heart
(d. pickerill/p. odonoughue)
Spoken intro:
I can make it better, look around
Yes, honestly, take a look at yourself
If youre not sure of which way to go
Then how can you hope to survive
In this world you make your own way
No ones gonna keep you alive
If you wanna find out what its all about
You dont know where to start
Start looking inwards towards yourself
Listen in to your heart
Chorus:
Listen listen, ah listen to your heart (x3)
When life becomes too much to take
Then how can you hope to resist
The tempting hand of greed and guilt
Answers you at the top of the list
If you take the time to reassure yourself
That really its just a start
Stop, take one step back, look at yourself
Listen to your heart
Chorus
Just be sure of yourself ? ? ?
Even if you find yourself in a world of trouble
And you feel that friends will never see you through
Look down deep inside you, take out all your emotions
Its your heart that gonna help you through

Ain't That A Lot Of Love (feat. Simply Red)
Words and music by Willa Dean Parker and Homer Banks
I know the desert cant hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you, yeah
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are, Baby
They would seal up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet
Honey, youre my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just cant compare
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldnt need a fire
I cant think of a word that describes your love better
Than the sky above
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Yeah
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Oh thats a lot of love
Lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
For one heart to hold
For one heart to hold

I Aint Been Licked
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Roll down the gangway
So theyll see that its me
I know theyll wonder about my recovery
Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness
What my heart wouldnt accept
Put me to the test
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
They cant make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell em Im back again
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
Like outa nowhere my whole world fell apart
Till this day no one knows
What I felt in my heart
All those precious things
Inside me tried to still
Hands I thought would help
Pushed me over the hill
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes, it can be done
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
They cant make me run
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell em Im back again
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Just to start again
Rise
Show em that I can
Rise
Found a brand new dream
Rise
Just to prove one thing
Just say
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
Tell em for me
I aint been licked
I want the world to see
I aint been licked
Although my love is gone
I aint been licked
Somehow I carry one
I aint been licked
Ill find the strength somehow
I aint been licked
I think Im ready now
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked
I aint been licked

Angel By Your Side
I don't know how it got to this very point,
But i know i'll always be there to care.
I can't say that every thing is ok,
Because i can see the tears you're crying.
I can't promise to take the pain away,
But you'll know that i won't stop trying.
When the road may seem so long,
I'll always hold you in comfort.
When you're down and out,
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own.
I know that it feels you're running out of faith,
Because it's so hard to keep believing.
When the storm of life breaks out,
I will always be there to look out.
In the mist of all your worries and tribulations,
You'll always find me by your side.
You can lay your head on my shoulders,
When your heart is deeply in sorrow.
My ears will always be ready to listen,
When you need someone to talk to.
When ever your heart gasp for happiness,
You'll always find me there to show you one.
Even when the mountains seem so impossible to climb,
There you will find my back to climb on.
You'll always find my hands to hold,
When every where seem so cold.
In the darkest of your hours,
I'll always be the light to guild you.
When ever you find yourself in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you.
I'll make a heart that never break,
When ever your heart aches.
You can pour your heart to me,
When ever you are in agony.
No matter how difficult it may be,
I'll always brighten your face with an angelic smile.
I'll be your guardian angel,
That will see you through the night.
When ever you feel defeated,
And you think you've lost the fight,
Just let me be your angel,
The angel by your side.

Promise Aint Enough
Dont wanna open your heart
Youre afraid from the start
That a new loves gonna let you down
There is something you should know
Before you give up and go
I dont believe in the run around
I just want to define myself
And show you how you feel
Chorus:
If a promise aint enough
Then a touch says everything
Got to hold you in my arms
Till you feel what I mean
Know that my heart just tells me what to say
But words can only prove so much
If a promise aint enough
Hold onto my love
Though my words cant describe
How Im feeling all inside
Does my touch says anything to you
Im not afraid to take time
Cause Ill know youll find
That Im real and my touch is true
Its taken a lifetime to find my heart
And I give it all you
Chorus: (repeat)
It took a lifetime to find what I want
I wont let it get away

When the world is on your shoulders
Just too much to bear
Boy my love can make you stronger
I aint goin nowhere
When youre followin all the rules
But life will not play fair
Come to me and well roll with the punches
I aint goin no where
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere
I aint goin nowhere
I cant guarantee that your dreams
Wont fade into thin air
But as sure as Im livin breathin
I aint goin nowhere
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere
I aint goin nowhere
But straight to you
No one else would do
My love will shine right through your rain
I will left you up, I will lift you up
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere
I aint goin nowhere

October 1st / 09 - 9: 03 PM
just another ordinary day,
until the phone rang.
you said you needed to talk,
said that it couldn’t wait.
something’s been on your mind
and you feel now is the time
you tell me you love me
that this won’t be easy.
then you lay me down sweetly
with words spoken so freely
...it’s just a way of life,
you are only human..
...I understand your reasons,
I just can’t believe them..
my emotions start to rise,
as you tell me the news.
there’s no reason to fight.
when I know I’ll lose.
my heart begins to bleed
I tell myself this is all a bad dream
the words you speak,
you don’t really mean.
...it’s just a way of life,
you are only human..
...I understand your leaving,
I just can’t believe it..
--
if you could only see,
I mean ever word I say..
you’re the love of my life,
please don’t walk away..
you’re the beating in my heart,
the pain I feel to let me know this love is real..
please reconsider,
don’t let my heart wither..
...it’s just another feeling,
please keep on believing...
...this love that we feel,
is more than just real..
if you’re falling apart,
you need to follow your heart.
take a deep breath,
we can make a new start.
don’t give up on us,
we can make it all better,
just give me a chance to show you,
this love is worth its stormy weather.
...it’s just another feeling,
please keep on believing...
...this pain won’t last forever,
just take my hand we'll make it together...

True To Your Heart (feat. Stevie Wonder)
Baby, I knew at once that you were meant for me
Deep in my soul I know that I'm your destiny
Though you're unsure, why fight the tide
Don't think so much, let your heart decide
Baby, I see your future and it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes and see you searching for a sign
But you'll never fall, 'Til you let go
Don't be scared, of what you don't know
Chorus
True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby, shower you with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me
(Got to be true to your heart)
Someone you know is on your side can set you free
I can do that for you if you believe in me
Why second-guess, what feels so right
Just trust your heart, and you'll see the light
Chorus
(Ya know it's true) Your heart knows what's good for you
(Good for you) Let your heart show you the way
(Ya know it's true) It'll see you through
(Got to be true to your heart)
Girl, my heart is driving me to where you are
Well, you can take both hands off the wheel and still get far
Be swept away, enjoy the ride
You won't get lost
With your heart to guide you.
Chorus (2times)
When things are gettin' crazy (crazy)
And you don't know where to start (to start)
Keep on believin', baby (baby)
Just be true to your heart
When all the world around you (baby)
It seems to fall apart (apart)
Keep on believin', baby (baby)
Just be true to your heart
(Got to be true to your heart)

Building The Bridge
Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start
We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
Theres a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
Theres a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there
And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
As we seek out understanding
As we learn to forgive
When we open up our minds
When our words are true and kind
We are building the bridge

Baby Better Start Turnin em Down
(rodney crowell)
In this modern world were livin
The rules aint like theyve ever been
Speakin of spreading it thin
Thats what you do, flashing your soul
That aint no way to treat your lover
Aint no way to act with feelings
Baby, better start turnin em down
Now its a brave new wave were roarin in
Hanging out, out on the rock n roll fringe
Speaking of running around
All over town, lettin it show
That aint no way to treat your lover
Aint no way to act in public
Baby, dont better start turnin em down, start to turnin down
Sure is clear aint nothin easy any more
Sure gets cloudy when I look in all directions
Sure is rainin like this feeling in my heart
Sure is crazy how youre acting
In this latest craze or current trend
Burnin money every way that you can
Speakin of goin for broke
Thats how it is and lettin it slow
That aint no way to treat your lover
Aint no way to act with strangers
Baby, youd better start turnin em down, start to turnin down
Baby, better start turnin
Baby, better start turnin em down
Baby, better start turnin

Home lyrics
[Shane:]
Hey...
What's your name?
Do you live around here?
Don't I know your face?
You say I've been a stranger
For too long
I didn't even notice I was gone
And I wanna come back home
Chorus (all):
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't home
It ain't home
[Bryan:]
Please say...
What I need to hear you say
Say I'm thoughtless and foolish
But say it's not too late
Now I don't know exactly
Where we go from here
But trying is the only way to know
And I wanna come back home
Chorus (all):
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't
[Bryan:]
It ain't always
Please believe me
Don't give up
Cos we're half way there
We're at the crossroads
In the middle
Between home
And between us there
All I need is
Some direction
Let me know you're here for me
Where you are
Is where I'll be
Chorus (all):
Show me the way to make a start, oh
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't
Show me the way to make a start
Show me the road back to your heart
And I've learned the only truth that I need to know
There's a million places I can go
But without you it ain't home

It ain't home

Sleep Come Free Me
Well, Ive been lying in this dungeon
Since I was eighteen
Ten lonely years of my life taken
Ive been living in the pages of a magazine
It breaks my heart to awaken
(chorus)
Set me free
Sleep come free me (please, please, please)
Set me free
Set me free
Now the state of alabama says I killed a man
The jury reached the same conclusion
I remember I was there
With a tire iron in my hand
The rest is all confusion
- chorus -
More like an animal and less like a man
What they leave you aint worth keeping
Brother let me tell you
I got a clock with no hands
The only way out is through sleeping
- chorus -
You get to where you used to be
Whoever you claim
Its open to interpretation
Just remember your number
And abandon your name
And hold on to your name
And hold on to your imgination
Oh no no

Tonight
Pattys working, but shes watching the clock
Shes in the back room counting stock
And down in a warehouse out by the dock
Jesses lifting crates and breaking rock
But when the whistle blows to end the daily fight
And the working forces turn out the light
Jesse takes that little girl and he holds her tight
As the day fades away he says
Were all that matters tonight
Tonights the night, I know Im right
And heart to heart, well make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Patty comes like an angel and takes his hand
Jesse says, baby, Ive got a plan
He says, I wanna get married and make a stand
But theres just one thing you gotta understand
Now the pressure of living and the daily fight
Could hurt us in time if our perspective aint right
So shut the door and put out the light
And baby, be here, because were all that matters tonight
Tonights the night, I know Im right
And heart to heart, well make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Break your back from nine to five
Sweating blood just to stay alive
Running home to the harbor light
Safe and warm, in love so right, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonights the night, I know Im right
And heart to heart, well make it tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Tonights the night, I know Im right
And heart to heart, well make it t tonight
So hold me tight, and love me right
The world can wait for tomorrow tonight
Tonights the night, I know Im right
And heart to heart, well make it tonight

Ready For You
(graham russell)
Painted sands and makeshift hands
Take us round and round
Horizon clear will soon be near
Im walking on the ground
Ive been round the corner
Sinking all the doubts in sight
If you sail across the border
We can float into the night
Oh Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Cloudy sky the wind is high
Im trying to break the spell
But Ill be here when you appear
I see the night as well
A feelings not a feeling
If you cant believe its true
Id sooner be believing
When the ship comes sailing through
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Shifting sea, believe in me
And bring this boat to home
Ive waited long my heart is strong
And faithful to its own
My eyes wont start this sleeping
Till they see the face they love
Theres so much Ive been keeping
And Ive kept it long enough
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
Im ready for you
