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...

What If It Was You ?
VERSE 1
See her on the street
Selling her body just to make ends meet
Every day's the same sad story
She prays but no one answers back
A soul who never had a chance
Don't you laugh at her misfortune
Everyone can take a fall
If you were walking in those footsteps
Wouldn't laugh at all
CHORUS
What if it was you standing on the street
What if it was you without enough to eat
What if it was you with nothing left to lose
What if it was you standing in those shoes
What if it was you all alone out there
Didn't have a choice didn't have a prayer
What if it was you down on your luck

He's there everyday
Askin' hey mista' can you spare some change
Why don'tcha get a job is all they say

Anyone can take his place
If you were walking in those footsteps
Wouldya' feel the same
CHORUS
What if it was you standing on the street
What if it was you without enough to eat
What if it was you with nothing left to lose
What if it was you standing in those shoes

MIDDLE 8
What if everyday you woke up without knowing
How you gonna eat, where you gonna sleep
What if hard times hit you would you be so quick to
Judge another judge your brother
Or would you feel how it would be in their shoes
Don't you laugh at their mistfortune
Everyone can take a fall
If you were walking in those footsteps
Wouldn't laugh at all
CHORUS
What if it was you standing on the street
What if it was you without enough to eat
What if it was you with nothing left to lose

Its Your Song
(in memory of mrs. brooks)
Standing in the spotlight
On such a perfect night
Knowing that youre out there listening
I remember one time
When I was so afraid
Didnt think I had the courage
To stand up on this stage
Then you reached into my heart
And you found the melody
And if there ever was somebody
Who made me beleive in me
It was you
(chorus)
It was your song
That made me sing
It was your voice
That gave me wings
It was your life that shined
Guiding my heart to find
This place where I belonged
It was your song
Everynight I pray
Before the music starts to play
I will do my best
I wont let you down
And for all the times I stood here
This feelings feels brand new
Any time I doubt myself
I think of you
(chorus)
It was your song
That made me sing
It was your voice
That gave me wings
It was your life that shined
Guiding my heart to find
This place where I belonged
It was your song
Dreams can come true
Gods great angels like you

The Hardest Part Is The Night
In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows hes going down again
I know hes going down...
Darkness fades hes the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name
You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.
Your just a pawn in a losin game
You lose at life it aint no game
Chorus:
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(in the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, its the night, its the night...
All alone in a place where the lonely
They all have to walk through the rain
And they dance on the edge where you only
Only pray that it has to end
That the night aint no friend
Chorus
These four walls they could tell you some stories
About lying and dying and fame
Theres a price that you pay for the glory
About losing and choosing and pain.

Go West Young Man

So easily enticed
By darker means
When out of the wilderness of choice

Call to me

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

To wear the crown of life
And you say go

Somewhere Somehow

Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose

But hold me til the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After youre gone from sight

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

Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you

Deep down inside

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

And somewhere alone

Talkin bout a world
Where all is free

Standing inside his brown shoes

Was It Something I Didnt Say
Spending another night alone,
Wondering when will I ever see you again.
Thinking what I would give
To get you back baby.
I should have told you how I felt then
Instead I kept it to myself.
I let my love go unexpressed,
till it was too late,
You walked away.
Chorus:
Was it something I didnt say,
When I didnt say I love you.
Was it words that you never heard,
All those words I should have told you.
All those times,
All those nights,
When I had the chance to.
Was it something I didnt say,
Was it something I didnt say.
Always assumed that youd be there,
Couldnt foresee the day youd ever be leaving me.
How could I let my world
Slip through my hands baby.
I took for granted that you knew,
Oh love, the love I had for you.
I guess, you never had a clue,
till it was too late,
You walked away.
Chorus
All the words were in my heart,
Well, they went unspoken.
But baby now my silent heart,
It is a heart thats broken.
I shouldve said so many things,
I shouldve let you know,
Youre the one I needed near me,
But I never let you hear me.

When youre in my arms.
When Im close to you.

Someone Like You
By arthur louis
I got up this morning and fell out of bed
Trying to make it to the door.
The wind was high, I didnt have much time,
Trying to find a man to score.
And then you came up on the other side
To brighten up my day.
I knew right away
That this could be my day.
Someone like you
Could make me change my ways.
Someone like you
Could turn the nights into days.
There you were, standing
On a crowded street.
You looked so good, though the air was bad,
Walking through the fog.
Chorus
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.
I want to thank you, thank you now
For getting me back on my feet again.

The Last Letter
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Sitting alone up in your empty room
In the stillness of the night
Where all the many dreams that used to carry you
Are no longer in sight
You put your feelings down in black and white
A sad, disturbing reply
That you dont really want to face another night
So youre saying goodbye
But do you know that youre saying goodbye
To a lifetime
Chorus:
Well, Ive got to tell you theres another way
To be free to be complete
But, youve got to make it thru another day
And deny your own defeat (dont give in)
And Im here to tell you theres another way
To consume a hungry heart
All the love you need is just a prayer away
Let it in to where you are
Youve made it to the edge of seventeen
Thinking now youve reached the end of the line
But theres so much of life that you have never seen
Now you wont have the time
You say that you dont hear the music play
So youre ready to give up the dance
Now that nothing really matters anyway
Oh, you give up your chance
But do you know that you give up your chance
At a lifetime
Chorus:
Well, Ive got to tell you theres another way
To be free--to be complete
But youve got to make it thru another day
And deny your own defeat (dont give in)
And Im here to tell you theres another way
To consume a hungry heart
Jesus is waiting just a prayer away
Let him in to where you are
You put your feelings down in black and white
A sad, disturbing reply
That you dont really want to face another night
So youre saying goodbye
But do you know that youre saying goodbye
To a lifetime

I Had A Dream
I had a dream
As though it seemed
Just the other day,
And you were there
Just like my prayer
Answering the words I prayed.
You took my hand
You helped me stand
And I rose to meet your eyes,
And as I stood
The way a man should
You were gone, and I knew not why.
I looked around
You couldnt be found
Then for you I cried as I spoke
“Why did you leave”
“Come back to me please”
But you didnt, so I awoke.
I had a dream
As though it seemed
Just the other night.
And you were there
Just like my prayer
Standing in the moon light.
You gave me a smile
Which I longed for a while
Joy was in my heart and soul
I began to smile
Just like a child
As my memories of you began to grow.
I thought of our past
As I wished it would always last
But you shook your head sadly No
So I shed a tear
Which dissapeared
And sadly again, I awoke.
I had a dream
as though it seemed
Late last night
And you were there
Just like my prayer
My woman, my wife and my life.
I took your hand
As I am your man
Together we will be
I wouldnt let go
as you shook your head no,
Together you and me.
I gave you a kiss
Which I did miss
Then you began to weep
You cried saying that I will awake
Without you to a new day
Then I said “no”, I will sleep

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Manys the road I have walked upon
Manys the hour between dusk and dawn
Manys the time
Manys the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Lost dreams and found dreams
In america
In america
In america
Lost dreams and found dreams
In america

In america
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Cant leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Save A Prayer
You saw me standing by the wall, corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone aint much fun so youre looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go.
Dont save a prayer for me now.
Save it til the morning after
No dont say a prayer for me now.
Save it til the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can youll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers cant find another way.)
You dont have to dream it all, just live a day.
(chorus)
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after....

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Dont ask me why Ill keep my promise Ill melt the ice
And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul,
Some people call it a one night stand, but we can call it paradise
(chorus)
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Do do do do do, do do do do do do do do
Save a prayer til the morning after...

Tonight The Heartaches On Me
You couldve heard a pin drop
When they walked through the door
Had to turn my eyes away
My heart fell to the floor
Someone whispered, wheres her halo?
Cause she had an angels face
He stood there smiling, holding on
To the one who took my place
So...
Chorus:
Tonight the heartaches on me, on me
Lets drink a toast to the fool who couldnt see
Bartender pour the wine, cause the hurtins all mine
Tonight the heartaches on me
I wonder if he told her
Shes the best hes ever known
The way he told me evry night
When we were all alone
Shell find out when the new wears off
Hell find somebody new
Shell learn what heartaches all about
And what Im going through
But...

We Will Meet Again
Was it the words she said or was it all in the way in which the lady said them?

For love right then
But we met destiny, and it sealed our fate

I know we will (we will meet again)
On my heart its written (we will meet again)

I will return again my love have patience
Lifes a circle, it all comes back around, so until then...
Ill be waiting for you knowing somehow?

And if she were standing in a crowd
Shed be the one that I would find among the faces
And if the music was too loud
Itd be her voice that I would hear

I know we will (we will meet again)
And if she were standing in a crowd
Shed be the one that I would find among the faces
And if the music was too loud

The Other Side Of Me
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
If they were to write about
The story of my life
They would have to mention you
With every page they'd write
There's another side to every story told
If i were the ocean
You would be the shore
And one without the other one
Would be needing something more
We are the shadow and the light
Chorus:
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
I have known the emptiness
Of feeling out of touch
And living life without you here
Would be living half as much
Cause i've a need that only you can fill
If love was mathematical
You'd understand the sum
To the heart's equation
Where one and one makes one
And lonely equals me minus you

Of dreams in the wings
Of visions unseen

Cross my heart over you

Ever saying that Im in this forevermore
You can be sure
