Take Me Down
Seems Ive lingered too long in the darkness
Unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
But this body before you has seen too much pain.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
Take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, Im waiting for you
Just give me a sign, oh please dont fail me now.
Its at this time we feel the emotion,
Nothing is wasted, nothing is lost.
Im sure that Ive been here before sometime
Some bridges are reached but never are crossed.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
Take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, Im waiting for you
Just give me a sign, oh please dont fail me now.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
Take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, Im waiting for you
Just give me a sign, oh please dont fail me now.
Dont fail me now
cos its out of my control.
Im coming with you,
Im right beside you,
Oh feet dont fail me now.
Seems Ive lingered too long in the darkness
Unlock the door, turn the light on and wait.
I should know better than to rest on a promise
But this body before you has seen too much pain.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
Take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, Im waiting for you
Just give me a sign, dont let me go.
Take me down, take me down to the water,
Take my hand, learn me all I should know.
Here I am, Im waiting for you
Just give me a sign, oh feet please dont fail me now.

Feet Dont Fail Me Now
Cant you see, she dont want you around no more
Cant you see, that her hands pointing at the door
Feet dont fail me now
How could anyone stay
Anyone could see its time to go away
Time to take a powder
Open up your eyes
But it feels like my legs have been paralyzed
Feet dont fail me now
Begging please dont make a fool of me
Feet dont fail me now
Please dont keep me where I should not be
Feet dont fail me now
Stop pretending that youve gone to sleep
Feet dont fail me now
Begging please dont make a fool of me
See your things piled in the hall
Turn around, theres a new picture on the wall
Feet dont fail me now
Were the last ones to know
Anyone could see its time for us to go
Time to hit the highway
Nothing left to do
But it feels like my shoes have been crazy glued

Love Comes To Me
(graham russell)
As long as I live all that I receive is what I want to give to you
I know that if I can stay for a while you will soon love me too
Lets take a chance at least well learn a lesson
It beats hanging round waiting for moments that wait into days
I dont want to love you in two different ways
Do you want to give, do you want to give me you whole day and more
Do you want to give, do you want always the key to the door
Its easy for you talking your way out of all situations
When you cant see thru and leave it up to me
And thats what I do
And thats what I do
Love comes to me and leaves me with you
Love runs thru me in all that you do
Dont walk away, dont leave me standing here
Thats not the way, dont lead me anywhere
I need you now, I need you now
Dont leave me standing here
Oh, I dont know, I just dont know
Its much too fast for me cant we go slow
Oh, I dont know, I just dont know
What do you want me to do

Children Need A Helping Hand
(featuring various artists)
Children need a helping hand
Children need a promise land
Let the children feel again
That love is alive
Children need a helping hand
Children are so innocent
Make this world a wonderland
So give us a sign
So give us a sign
Children have a heart of gold
Sometimes they feel alone and sold
They need someone to be around
Reach out
A helping hand
So many children dont know what to do
cause no ones there to guide em through
Were living in a world so cold
Dont make them sad and sold
They need a helping hand
Children need a helping hand
Children need a promised land
Let the children feel again
That love is alive
That love is alive
Children need a helping hand
Day by day
Children are so innocent
Show them the way
Make this world a wonderland
Join us and stay
So give us a sign
So give us a sign
Children, need a helping hand
We are all called to change
Into a world of hope
Without war, without pain
Children do have fantasies
The thoughts of far away and free
Dreamin of a wonderland
They live
In a childrens world
We could live in perfect harmony
Wonderland could be reality
Without war and without pain
And no one dies in vain
Thats the promised land
Children need a helping hand
Children need a promise land
Let the children feel again
That love is alive
That love is alive
Children need a helping hand
Day by day
Children are so innocent
Show them the way
Make this world a wonderland
Join us and stay
So give us a sign
So give us a sign
Children wanna find their own way
Gettin stronger day by day
Children have a heart and soul
Dont let them live without a goal
Children, make the world go round
Dont destroy what they have found
Set an example be consequent
Be confident with a helping hand
Children need a helping hand
Children need a promise land
Let the children feel again
That love is alive
Children need a helping hand
Children are so innocent
Make this world a wonderland
So give us a sign
So give us a sign

Dont You Ever Learn?
Dont you ever listen?
Dont you ever learn?
The hand may find you
Its time to take a turn
You think this life is something strange
Youre ready for another change
But dont you ever learn?
Dont you ever listen?
Dont you ever learn?
The world is on fire
Your body doesnt burn
Kill yourself before receiving
Something out of all this breathing
Dont you ever learn?

Dweller On The Threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
I have seen without perceiving
I have been another man
Let me pierce the realm of glamour
So I know just what I am
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Feel the angel of the present
In the mighty crystal fire
Lift me up consume my darkness
Let me travel even higher
Im a dweller on the threshold
As I cross the burning ground
Let me go down to the water
Watch the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im gonna turn and face the music
The music of the spheres
Lift me up consume my darkness
When the midnight disappears
I will walk out of the darkness
And Ill walk into the light
And Ill sing the song of ages
And the dawn will end the night
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
And I cross some burning ground
And Ill go down to the water
Let the great illusion drown
Im a dweller on the threshold
And Im waiting at the door
And Im standing in the darkness
I dont want to wait no more
Im a dweller on the threshold
Dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold
Im a dweller on the threshold

Why Are You Waiting
What can I do Im at the door
Ive tried turning back theres no point in that now
What should I say, what should I do
Should I fix my hair oh why am I scared now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail, you wont fail)
Look at me stand outside the door
Like a frightened child with a nervous smile see
What should I do, what should I say
Should I speak at all
I am much too small now
Facing the world is so hard do you know what I mean
People are so often hard and far too ready to say...hey...ohhh
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail)
Why are you waiting?
What if I fail (you wont fail, you wont fail, you wont fail)

Eye To Eye
I dont want to see your picture
On a faded video
I dont want to turn the clock back
To the way it used to go
Can you give me any reasons
Why I made this sacrifice?
When you thought you walked on water
You were skating on thin ice
cause we dont see eye to eye
cause we dont see eye to eye
I dont want to be a memory
Just another anglophile
I would never learn your language
Could it be theres no more time?
Is there any reason talking
bout your crazy point of view?
You cant even try to answer
The questions that I put to you
cause we dont see eye to eye
cause we dont see eye to eye

Cornwall Blank
Ive been down to the water
Ive been on top of the world
Somebody should come and see me
Somebody should give me the word
cause I dont know how many more
I dont know how many more
I dont know how many more to see
Sometimes the free thoughts clash
Sometimes I see through the grass
Sometime the light begins to dim
Somebody should come and be me
Somebody should come and free me
cause I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more to see
Oh darlin, darlin, I always wanna see you
Oh darlin, darlin, I always wanna see you
I cannot learn much more life
I cannot see much more
Somebody should stop the new sight
Somebody should close the door
cause I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more (many more)
I dont know how many more to see
Wrapped in a blanket, lyin in the snow
Feelin like the men felt a long time ago
Goin to find me a home, goin to build it with my hands
Cant you see theres food to be grown
Got to dig up, dig up the land

For Everyman
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave
With the light of the morning
Theyve seen the end coming down long enough to believe
That theyve heard their last warning
Standing alone
Each has his own ticket in his hand
And as the evening descends
I sit thinking bout everyman
Seems like Ive always been looking for some other place
To get it together
Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
And maybe find something better
But all my fine dreams
Well though out schemes to gain the motherland
Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman
Waiting here for everyman--
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Waiting here for everyman--
Dont ask me if hell show -- baby I dont know
Make it on your own if you think you can
Somewhere later on youll have to take a stand
Then youre going to need a hand
Everybodys just waiting to hear from the one
Who can give them the answers
And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun
Where sweet childhood still dances
Wholl come along
And hold out that strong and gentle fathers hand?
Long ago I heard someone say something bout everyman
Waiting here for everyman--
Make it on your own if you think you can
If you see somewhere to go I understand
Im not trying to tell you that Ive seen the plan
Turn and walk away if you think I am--
But dont think too badly of one whos left holding sand
Hes just another dreamer, dreaming bout everyman

Waiting For The Sunrise
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can take your hand and stroll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go on the streets and see the people smile.
Give me your hand,
So I could tell you that things will be alright.
The rooms still dark,
But it wont be so long,
And I can take you outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the park and roll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the docks and watch the boats go by.
Come on, love, give me your hand,
And things will be alright.
The rooms still cold,
But it wont be so long,
That we can go outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I could see your hair shining in the air.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can see the sky reflected in your eyes.
Come on, love, dont be depressed,
Things will be alright.
The rooms too low,
But it wont be so long,
That we can be outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,

Dont Give Up
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Dont give up
cos you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
Dont give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that wed be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up
We dont need much of anything
Dont give up
cause somewhere theres a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
Its going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Dont give up
Please dont give up
got to walk out of here
I cant take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That rivers flowing
That rivers flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Dont give up
cause you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not the only one
Dont give up
No reason to be ashamed
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up now
Were proud of who you are
Dont give up
You know its never been easy
Dont give up
cause I believe theres the a place
Theres a place where we belong

Love Me Like A Bird Dog
Savin all your money
For a rainy day limousine
Teenage baby send you
Full friction magazine
I dont know how she do it
Up down turnaround
Four on the floor tonight
When she did what she was doin
She was rubbin me the wrong way right
Push come to shove
Give it one more try
Dont miss your water
Until the well runs dry
Love me like a birddog
Never learn to fly
Bareback baby
Tell me whats on your mind
If its the same old same old
Slap you on the back behind
I dont know how you do it
Tell me one time
About how it used to be
You got the judge and jury
Swinging from the highest tree
Push came to shove
Give it one more try
Dont miss your water
Until the well runs dry
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
Ill tell you no lies
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
Bass drum beating
Like a hot damn house on fire
Love lovers quarrels
Always seem to make the body cry
I dont know how she do it
Tell me one time
About how it used to be
She got the judge and jury
Swinging from the highest tree
Push came to shove
Give it one more try
You dont miss your water
Until the well runs dry
Love me like a bird dog
Never learn to fly
Ask me no questions
Ill tell you no lies

Fearing These Days
You only see me when I laugh
Never hear me when I cry
Im tired of fearing these days
Im sitting here on my own
Talking to myself alone
And Im tired of fearing these days
All I need was an explanation
Why you treat me so mean
You always play the part with no hesitation
Thats the other side Ive seen
Please dont fail me
Dont fail me
Please dont let me fall
If all my nightmares come today
Will you hide them far away
Cause Im tired of fearing these days
Itll wash away the past and pain
Let me start from new again
Im tried of fearing these days
You always hit me when there is no reason
To feel superior to me
When all I want is a confrontation
So I can find a release
Please dont fail me
Dont fail me
Please dont let me fall

Beautiful Mind
A beautiful mind or a beautiful body
I know which one Im gonad end upon
You say you will but you never promised thoughts
A smile and a hand mix like water with sand
As far as youre concerned
A road and a sign I know which one catches my eyes
And i, thought I heard it for a while
Then it all came to me
Sometimes I just dont know I believe in
Dont you wanna know when I suffer
It doesnt show
A smile and a hand mix like water with sand dont you know?
I was thinking about moving back home
I dont really need to live here
No no I didnt I could Im sure I would if I knew that
I didnt I could Im sure I would if I knew that

Dont Make Me Wait
Dont you know Id do anything for you
Id steal the stars out from the sky above you
I would tame a wild hurricane wind
If you take this heart of mine
Give me a signal, please give me a sign
Come on, baby, dont you waste no more precious time
In the midnight moonlight shine
Dont hold back tonight
Give me the green light
Chorus:
Dont make me wait one more day
Dont you forsake this love so great
Dont you know Id walk to heavens gate
Just to hear you say I love you
Dont make me wait one more day
Weve been friends and been so close together
But I need more to satisfy this hunger
I want your body, mind, spirit, and soul
Just let the feeling go
Oh, yeah, give me a signal, please give me a sign
Come on, baby, dont you waste no more precious time
In the midnight moonlight shine
Dont hold back tonight
Give me the green light
Repeat chorus
Dont you forsake this love so great
Dont you know Id walk to heavens gate
Just to hear you say I love you
Dont make me wait one more day
Baby, lets set the wheels in motion
Youve got the cure to a heart thats broken
Come on, baby, lets seize the moment
Just say the words I long to hear spoken
Dont make me wait
Dont you forsake

Another Sunny Day 12/25
We see it on tv we get calls on the phone
By the prophets of doom they wont leave us alone
The planet is dying and theres no time to spare
They spend all our days sowing seeds of despair
We get enough bad news to harden our hearts
This fear what we feed on is whats keeping us apart
To say that we doomed is just an obvious remark
And it dont make you right it just keep you in the dark
I dont want to live angry
I dont want to live scared
I dont need no more prophets crying
Brother beware
Just put some work in my hand
And give me a dollar to spare
And dont let me sow those seeds of despair
Well this earth is a graveyard it will swallow our bones
It was here long before us it will be here when were gone
And its a vain generation that looks for a sign
Dont you think we could make better use of our time
Yeah, the air could be cleaner and the water could be too
But what we do to each other are the worst things that we do
And we can treasure our freedoms behind our locked doors
But God speed the day when were lonely no more
I dont want to live angry
I dont want to live scared
I dont need no more prophets crying
Brother beware
Just put some work in my hand
And give me a dollar to spare
And dont let me sow those seeds of despair

Hand On My Heart
Rescue me
I cant dream this dream any more, my dream oh my dream
Set me free
I keep holdin on but
I dont know what for
All I know
Is that Ive breathed your name for what feels like a lifetime
I cant let go, youre a part of me
And I die each time
I lose a little more of you
And I look for a sign, to give me hope
Well find a love we once knew
And all I know
Is when were face to face when theres no one between us
With one last embrace, well let time heal the pain
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in the dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Its not enough, to simply talk about love
As if it were in our control
Now as I struggle with the past, I cant think about the future
Its so hard to let go
And all I know
Is I still whisper your name, girl it wont be the last time
As our lives go separate ways
And let time heal the pain
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please
Keep your hand on my heart dont let go
I cant see youre too close to me
Dont leave me in dark, keep your hand on my heart
Oh please, only you, lonely me

Just dont taste good.
Whats wrong-number one water.
So the rice grower, ' said'.
You maybe want more.
Feel like a shut door.
Water just dont feel right.
Acid-rain- blurring my sight.
Number one water-BOY.
Please dont tell me more.

Dont Give Up On Me
Dont give up on me,
Though I know at times its hard to see;
All my many weaknesses
Might blind you,
I must remind you,
Dont give up on me,
Even when I act so selfishly,
All my views are all I see.
Yes, I know theres still so much of me,
But God is working constantly,
To shape me,
Hell remake me.
Dont give up on me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me,
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.
Dont give up on me,
Even when I fail so miserably.
Time and again I know
I stumble,
It makes me humble.
Dont give up on me.
But never let your love to be
Hanging on the things you see,
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me;
Im trying.
Hear me crying.
Dont give up on me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me,
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.
I know much more than you
How very weak I am.
But he believes in me,
And so I know you can.
When all my views are all I see,
Then I know theres still so much of me;
But God is working constantly
To shape me,
Hell remake me.
Dont give up on me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me.
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.
Dont give up one me.
Im gonna make it.
I know its hard for you to see.
Dont give up on me.
I couldnt take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that youd start to believe in,
Im changin so please dont give up on me.

Please Dont Keep Me Waiting
(stephen sinclair/joe falsia)
I want to love you once again
Couldnt you love me too
Dont turn away from all that weve been thru
Everyone changes, be my friend
Havent you got the time
Help me I need you, throw me down a line
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
Living on dreams from yesterday
Waking and youre not here
I wanna see your face
I want you near
Now is the moment we must live
You cant run and hide
I know you want me too
Down deep inside
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
