You Can't Take Me 04:40
lyrics
buy track
You came to me with your belief You spoke the words of your desire You told me how it is to be And I called you a liar How can this be? These words of profits you’re telling me How can I see? When your iron curtain blanket covers me How can it be? Words just have no guarantee How can I believe? You can’t take me, You can’t take me You tried so hard to capture me You traps had holes I could see I’m not playing hard to get I’m just saying let’s forget How can this be? These words of profits you’re telling me How can I see? When your iron curtain blanket covers me How can it be? Words just have no guarantee How can I believe? You can’t me, You can’t take me, You can’t take me

World On The Outside 04:11
lyrics

Oh where oh where does the time go Where oh where I just don’t know I went to sleep it was 1985, & when I awoke I was out of my mind I did a lot of things I did when I was young I heard a lot things & I still held my tongue I closed my eyes throughout all tragedy And when they opened it wasn’t really me, wasn’t really me World on the outside passes by Time doesn’t wait for the timid & shy I wouldn’t know a chance if it hit me in the eye And I’ll be the same ‘til the day that I die World on the outside is too fast for me World on the outside is all misery World on the outside is too good for me World on the outside it's all a myth you see Oh where oh where does my time go Why am I here if I’m moving too slow? Could be a dream though it seems so real I cannot be mistaken for the way that I feel World on the outside passes by Time doesn’t wait for the timid & shy I wouldn’t know a chance if it hit me in the eye And I’ll be the same ‘til the day that I die

I Still Cry 04:44
lyrics
buy track
In the Robin Hood Hills of Arkansas Where three little boys were killed As they lay in a ditch near the tri pipe bridge Innocent blood was spilled I know it happened quite a while ago It’s almost been twenty years It shattered lives and made time stand still But my eyes still well with tears I can never, never forget you And now I know I never will I still cry I feel dead inside Why did you have to die? Michael, Christopher, & little Steve You’re not where you’re supposed to be You were denied your childhood You deserved to live Now you’re safe from harm up where you are In the arms of God I’m ashamed of humanity When guilt walks free right among us all I can never, never forget you Now I know I never will And I still cry I feel dead inside Why did you have to die? I will never, ever forget you Now I know I never will And I will cry, I will always remember I will always pray for you

These Decisions 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Whatever road you’re on Could be the right one, could be wrong But you won’t know until you get there If you get there, you’re probably wrong. Who wants to make these decisions? When they come knocking at your door I know you’ve heard it all a thousand times before It’s just the way it is, the way it is, the way we live. I was never good at making decisions Always seem to take a wrong turn And I end up in a head on collision Man this inability still burns. Who wants to make these decisions When they come knocking at your door I know you’ve heard it all a thousand times before It’s just the way it is, the way it is, the way we live. Whatever road you’re on Could be the right one, could be wrong But you won’t know until you get there If you get there, you’re probably wrong, probably wrong, Probably wrong.

Praying For A Miracle 04:24
lyrics
buy track
Why do I feel, like every single thing I’ve done is wrong How can I appeal, condemned myself for never moving on A fading glimpse of chance, is so far gone Why does it seem, the life I’m living in is but a dream Why is it so? I run into the wall wherever I go Lost my will, I lost my self-control Am I, too cynical, sounding all so critical, leaning towards skeptical? Praying for a miracle, praying for a miracle, praying for a miracle I do believe, that what I am is more than you conceived Don’t try so hard, wiser minds than yours were torn apart The riddle of the soul is through the heart Where do I find, the place in life when I was left behind Will you free me, from shackled iron chains that harness me Arraigned was I, to lifelong misery Alone in the shadows helplessly Swaying in the gallows as I sleep Was I, too miserable, for doubting all my principles, acting so invincible, shouting out I’m a liberal Praying for a miracle, praying for a miracle, praying for a miracle

Safe On Rainy Days 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Really meant to hurt you, never supervised Always meant to burn you, and the pain’s set in your eyes Aw, they’re just poking fun, at your expense; it’s all in good fun Did it make any sense? They’d say it to your face, words they should erase I knew it had no place, pray for rainy days; you’re safe on rainy days. (Chorus) How could they be so mean to you? What did you ever do to deserve such abuse? Baby they’re just angry, maybe they are fools Spited said it mildly, because they’re lives are all screwed. But it doesn’t justify it, it’s not the time or place, they’ll Never rectify it, they’d just all deny it, words they can’t erase Pray for rainy days, you’re safe on rainy days, pray for rainy days Repeat chorus (Bridge) It may not always have a face But you will forever know disgrace

Liar 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Although tomorrow, may never come I’ll be sitting by the fire And those in sorrow embrace the ones you love You better sleep before you tire. And when the dawn breaks, I’ll be all alone To carry on the way I always do And those in sorrow, disbelieve my point of view What do I have left to prove? So you can see it for yourself Morning brings new life Just look outside & see the early light And don’t be surprised your you, don’t be surprised your you. Although tomorrow has long passed us by I still sit by the fire And those in sorrow, contemplate their lives They still call me Liar

Night In The Park 04:04
lyrics

Walking in the park Frightened of the dark All you want to do is get on home Footsteps are coming The moon is full, footsteps are coming & you Feel the pull What’s a nice girl like you doing here alone What’s a nice girl to do, when she knows the end is coming soon Just another night in the park Just another night in the dark Just another knife in my heart Just another fright in the park All is quiet, all is calm Listen to the children call Please don’t worry, no cause for alarm Until tomorrow, it’s goodnight to all What’s a nice girl like you doing here alone What’s a nice girl to do, when she knows the end is coming soon Just another night in the park Just another night in the dark Just another knife in my heart Just another fright in the park

Children Of War 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Children of war, what are they fighting for? Put guns in their hands, and send them off to foreign lands And they won’t understand war. Children of war, what are they marching for? Someone they don’t even know Is telling them where to go And know they’ll never grow into adults. Whatever happened to, that innocent young child? Content with youth and an everlasting smile Gone are his dreams and moments in the sun Now all he’ll know is fear, for what he has become. Children of war, what are they fighting for? Blood stains on their hands, theirs and other mans They still don’t understand war. Children of war Who are they marching for? One may never know, mistaken them for their own And knew they’d never grow into adults. Whatever happened to, that innocent young child? Content with youth and an everlasting smile Gone are his dreams and moments in the sun Now all he’ll know is fear, of what he has become
