Place In This World
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart thats hopeful
A head thats full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like im
Chorus:
Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world
If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me im

Rocketown
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
A friday night affair
Out in the city heat
Always a party there
Along the sordid street
And it was guaranteed
The place to be was rocketown
The drinks were two for one
Inside the crowded bars
The girls would make their run
Out on the boulevard
It was the idol place
We lived the ways of rocketown
Hang around by the street light
In the heart of the night life
There came a certain man
A stranger to the crowd
We didnt understand
What he was all about
He walked a different pace
So out of place in rocketown
They made a fool of him
They teased him when hed speak
But when they knocked him down
Hed turn the other cheek
He told me I could find
A life outside of rocketown
Hang around by the street light
In the heart of the night life
Chorus:
What was his mission
Where was he going
Why was his heart light
Always glowing
All I was missing
He stood there holding
What was his secret
Could I know it
Some didnt like him near
Some laughed and turned away
But me, I longed to hear
All that he had to say
He had a peace of mind
I couldnt find in rocketown
And when I reached down inside me
I could feel the emptiness
Chorus
He said its in the heart
This change that comes to be
Now he had done his part
The choice was up to me
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for rocketown
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for rocketown
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for rocketown
He walked off silently
And prayed for me
And rocketown...

Color Blind
Michael w. smith / wayne kirkpatrick
Theres not a world of difference
Out in the world tonight
Between this world of people
Red, yellow, black and white
But instead of riding a rainbow of love
We still are fighting with prejudice gloves
Of anger
With something to claim
But nothing to gain so
Chorus:
Why cant we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And wed find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
cause we could see better
If we could be color blind
Somebodys just assuming
Hes up to nothing good
cause hes not like the others
There goes the neighborhood
What kind of world are we living in
Whe we judge a man by the tone of his skin
Its crazy
cause he has a heart
Like you have a heart and
Chorus
Bridge:
Itd be so fine
To be color blind
To open our eyes
And see color blind
I know this world would be a better place
The only race would be the human race
All of those barriers would be erased
Why cant we be color blind

Go West Young Man
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
Im blazing a trail that leads to vice
So easily enticed
By darker means
When out of the wilderness of choice
I hear that one still voice
Call to me
Chorus:
Go west young man
Go west young man
When the evil go east
Go west young man
Go west young man
Find a heart thats golden
Why must I wander like a cloud
Following the crowd
Well I dont know
But Im asking for the will to fight
To wear the crown of life
And you say go

The mind is weak the heart is frail
When it goes beyond the pale
So unwise

Ink and paper, epic offers
Glass moon waltzing on the waters
Horse and carriage
I am courting the marriage
Of dreams in the wings
Of visions unseen

Cross my heart
Only your love will do
Cross my heart over you
Cross my heart
There is room enough for two
Cross my heart over you, over you

Gold and diamond
Ever saying that Im in this forevermore
You can be sure

For You
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
Sittin in the rain
Water on your brain
Got a hole in your boat
Trying to stay afloat
Has got you down
Ive got a wind in my sail
Rubber boots and a pail
Ill throw you a line
Rest assured that i
Wont ever let you drown
Chorus:
cause when youre up against the wall
You know Ill be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
Ill always be here for you, for you
When the plans you make
Fall through and take you
For a loop
Or some bird has flown the coop
And left you stranded
Just lean on me
And together you see
Well carry the load
Even if we dont
Quite understand it

Calling Heaven
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Chorus:
Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me theres a place for these
What of the children who have never felt a love
Tender as the morning
Nursing the bruises
And the scars that never seem to go away
What of the babies who have never left the womb
Breathing in the lifeline
Angels in waiting
Gone before they could be given wings to fly
Chorus
What of the noble who are searching for the truth
With truest of intentions
And yet theyre jaded by
Hypocrisies behind cathedral walls
What of the humble and the meek that knew despair
And never got their moment
But sacrificed a life of comfort
So that others knew no pain
Chorus
What of the ones who call you lord
But play the field
With faithless indecision
Forgive us father for we truly
Do not know what we have done

Voices
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Follow the footsteps
Or travel down your own road
Designing your fate
Hear what your heart says
Still you decide which way to go
Your lifes an open gate
Chorus:
le bon et le mal
These are the voices
We nous somme liberti
We make the choices
Echoes of laughter
Dancing in distant corridors
With the tears of hearts undone
Dreams we chase after
Give us the key to any door
We are what we become
Chorus
Holding and reaching
We face the calm, we face the fear
As we learn to win and lose
Voices are speaking
Still we hear what we want to hear
Our life is ours to choose

Lamu
Words & music: michael w. smith, wayne kirkpatrick, and amy grant
Here we are on a boat out on the sea
Off the coast of africa
Heading for peaceful shores
With a cast of strangers
To an island hideaway
I hear you telling me
Of the place we soon will be
A rebirth from lifes demise
Where the world is still--its ideal
Anything you dream is real
Its hotel paradise
And you say its nice
(when you run to)
Lamu--far away
Leave the pain far behind you
Hoping it wont find you in
Lamu--far away
You say its there that you can run
From the one inside of you
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
So here we are on an island in the sea
Near the coast of africa
And when its right--lamu nights,
They can be so inviting
Heaven here on earth
But I hear you telling me
This is everything you need
Well, I dont think its true
cause the way you feel isnt real
You attempt to try and fill
The void thats digging thru
And its killing you (when you run to)
Lamu--far away
Tho that pain was behind you
It can even find you in
Lamu--far away
Because you never can run
From the one inside of you
I hear you telling me
Of the place we soon will be
A rebirth from lifes demise
Where the world is still--its ideal
Anything you dream is real
Its hotel paradise
And you say its nice
(when you run to)
Lamu--far away
Leave the pain far behind you
Hoping it wont find you in
Lamu--far away
Tho that pain was behind you
It can even find you in
Lamu--far away
Because you never can run
From the one inside of you

Any World That I'm Welcome To
If I had my way I would move to another time;
I'd quit my job, ride the train through the misty night-time.
I'll be ready when my feet touch the ground, wherever I come down,
And if the folks will have me, then they'll have me.
Any world that I'm welcome to [any kind of world]
Any world that I'm welcome to
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from.
I can hear your words when you speak of what you are and have seen;
I can see your hand reaching out through a shining daydream.
Where the days and nights are not the same, captured happy in a picture frame;
Honey, I will be there, yes, I'll be there.
[chorus]
I got this thing inside me that's got to find a place to hide me.
I only know I must obey this feeling I can't explain away.
I think I'll go to the park, watch the children playing;
Perhaps I'll find in my head what my heart is saying.
A vision of a child returning, in a kingdom where the sky is burning;
Honey, I will be there, yes, I'll be there.
[chorus]
Is better than the one I come from.
Is better than the one I come from.
Any world that I'm welcome to. [any kind of world] x ad lib [fade]

Were embarking on a new regime
We are calling for a new revolution
Be part of the parade
Get on the love crusade

So get out of the shade
Get on the love crusade

Rap:
Come on everyone
Theres a lot that can be done
A little love can go a long, long way
So rise to the occasion
Of a radical invasion
(hey) dont let the world go down in flames
Fight the fire with a fire
Push it to the limit
And be a renegade
Light a fuse-make a spark
Try to penetrate a heart
Theres a burning need to fill the world with love
Love is kind, love is sound
It makes the world go round
So it keep it turning
There could never be enough
Hatredll spoil the feast
Thats the nature of the beast
So dont ever let your heart be swayed
Draw the sword, slay the dragon
Get on the bandwagon
And be a fighter on the love crusade

Somebody Love Me
Michael w. smith / wayne kirkpatrick
Counting every moment
Biding all my time
Standing out here on my own
Searching for that someone
To heal this heart of mine
And keep me from being alone
But when will it be
And how will I know
I dont want to wait here forever
Chorus:
Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way Ive always dreamed it could be
Wont somebody love me, love me
Im waiting for somebody
To dance across the floor
Sweeping me off of my feet
Im looking for the right one
To open up that door
And offer me a tender retreat
Its like wanting to sing
But needing a song
When will I hear the music playing

Somewhere Somehow
Michael w. smith / david foster / wayne kirkpatrick / amy grant
Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
Id stay here with you
But hold me til the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After youre gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
Ill cling to you with all my might
Let me dream of you
But its true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and
Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart
Theres a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Dont say a word
But Ill tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart thats waiting
You are mine and Ill wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me youll wait

Bridge:
And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somehow our love
Our love will lead me to your arms

Giving distinction to the role

Some people race
Some people vary in their pace
But God can use what you can give
Within the mystery of his ways

World In The World
Music by a. topuntoli/g.randone
Lyrics by a. topuntoli/g.randone/m.gabutti
Mixed by:mauro di deco
When the world will fall apart,
And it feels like theres no air,
Theres a place where you can run
To see your problems left behind.
When your faith seems locked away,
And the grey is all you see,
Theres a place waiting for you
And that nobody can invade.
Your world in the world.
Where theres nothing wrong.
Your world in the world.
Where you feel at home.
Your know this world
Will never,
Never let you,
Never let you down.
Your world in the world.
Where it never rains.
Your world in the world.
Where you put your friends.
Your know this world
Will never,
Never let you,
Never let you down.
Your world in the world.
When the world is just a haze
And you cant work out this maze.
Theres a place where you can go
To feel that everythings alright.
When the going starts to hurt
And you feel youre on the floor.
Theres a place waiting for you
And that nobody can invade.
Your world in the world.
Where it never rains.
Your world in the world.
Where you put your friends.
Your know this world
Will never,
Never let you,
Never let you down.
Your world in the world.

Lost Without You
Ive got night vision, I can find my way home
I dont get nervous when Im out on my own
Ive got that sixth sense, I just follow the stars
But wherever I am, I wonder where you are
I walk a tightrope, I follow my heart
Just like a compass whenever were apart
I believe that love comes shining through
Id fly through the storm to find my way to you
(chorus)
cause Id be lost without you
Id be slowly going crazy
Youre the place I wanna be, youre all I ever need
Id be lost
Lost without you
Im on a mission, its on with the show
Ive got dreams that Im chasing and places to go
But the further I wander, heres what I find
Wherever I am its you thats on my mind
(repeat chorus)
For so long
I was caught up in the chase
Trying to find my place
And who am I to ever deny
When the world got me down
You came and you swept me away

And i'm alive
With the power of your holiness

And you revive
Feelings in my soul
That i have laid to rest

So breathe in me
I need you now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me
Maybe somehow
You can breathe new life
In me again

So sensitive
To the light that leads
To where you are
Now i've acquired
These callouses
With the darkness of
A cold and jaded heart

Wanna go but got no car
Dreaming dreams can take you far

In this world, its out of this world
With a little love and a little giving

Gonna be some lows and highs

A Little Stronger Everyday
Words & music:michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
I was throwin away what I needed most
It was the father, son and the holy ghost
A little carnal knowledge is a dangerous thing
Itll eat a hole in the brain
Id be the biggest fool in the whole universe
To trade a heavenly blessing for a worldly curse
I was a weaker man til I made my stand
Now I am here to make a change
Chorus:
Im running blind on the wheels of faith
(Im) moving to the beat of a heart that prays
(and) hangin on every word you said
I get a little stronger every day
Aint ganna find any help on the t.v.
Or written down on the pages of people magazine
It takes digging a little deeper into the good book now
For a little sacred advice...oh yah

Dream Away
(d. warren)
When this world, the real that world youre living in
Just gets too much for you to take
When you find too many troubles on your mind then
Feel just like there is no escape
And it seems your heart has forgotten how to believe
Turn a page in your soul
Theres a place you can go
Close your eyes and let your heart fly free (fly free)
(chorus)
Dream away, dream away
Let imagination light your way
Take you as far as your heart can see
Dream..., dream away, dream away
To a place where hope is shining
Find your silver lining (find your silver lining)
Everything you need is just to dream away
Remember when (remember when)
The dream could take you anywhere (anywhere you want to)
Just to wish (yes) anything could be
When the father sol is one more star you could reach
Take a look in your heart
cause thats where dreams are where start
Anything is real if you just believe (believe...)
(chorus)
All it takes is faith to make your dream come true (ah ah)
And somewhere in this world therell be somebody
To share your dreams with you
