In Stride
There seems to be much more to life
Much more than meets the eye.
It scares me so, yet on I go.
I take it all in stride.
And tears I’ve cried a thousand times,
Tears that won’t subside.
It pains me so, yet on I go.
I take it all in stride.
Step by step and beat by beat.
That’s the way I move my feet
And if anything should meet me by surprise.
I take it in stride.
And love I’ve known a time or two.
A love that leaves you blind.
It hurts me so, yet on I go.
I take it all in stride.
Step by step and beat by beat.
That’s the way I move my feet
And if anything should meet me by surprise.
I take it in stride.

Diggin’
I’m diggin’ for what motivates me. Searchin’ for an inspiration
Trying to find a sign for what keeps me in line
I’m diggin’ for what motivates me.
The sunrise over the horizon, the dawning of a brand new day
The blowing of the breeze that brings me to me knees
It glorifies, it sanctifies me.
That’s why I’m diggin’ for what motivates me. Searchin’ for an inspiration
Trying to find a sign for what keeps me in line
I’m diggin’ for what motivates me.
The smiles on the faces of the children
With eyes so wide at the wonder of the world
But the innocence is lost at far too great a cost. It horrifies and terrifies me.
That’s why I’m diggin’ for what motivates me. Searchin’ for an inspiration
Trying to find a sign for what keeps me in line
I’m diggin’ for what motivates me.
Where do we go from here? What are we waiting for?
The more I think about it the less I understand
We just keep moving forward with our heads down in the sand.
The time has come for each to play their part
With the music of the beating of our hearts
No one can ever say we’ll never find a way. Believe me, electrify me
That’s why I’m diggin’ for what motivates me. Searchin’ for an inspiration
Trying to find a sign for what keeps me in line
I’m diggin’ for what motivates me.

Soul Surfing
All I know is what I feel, and what I feel is so complete.
And full of life, that’s all I know
And it feels so right.
I’m riding that wave again, sailing out around the world.
Riding that wave again.
Calling out, I hear your voice answering all my prayers
And hopes and doubts I’ve lived without
For all these years.
I’m riding that wave again, flying high above the universe.
Riding that wave again.
Catching up on borrowed time
Losing sight of what’s left behind.
Then you come to me outreached arms to hold.
Step by step, soul to soul.
I’m riding that wave again, sailing high around the world.
Riding that wave again, floating up above the universe.
Riding that wave again

One Of A Kind
With a smile kills and looks to move mountains
She’s sending me chills and blowing me away
I will follow her down to wherever she wants me
Cause wherever she is, is where I wanna be
She’s the one who gives me everything
She’s the one who lets her spirit sing
She’s the one who likes to spread her wings and fly
My one and only, one of a kind.
With eyes that sparkle like a clear dessert sky
Inviting me into her sweet paradise
She can take all I give and never let go
While her hand, like an angel caresses my soul.
She’s the one who gives me everything
She’s the one who lets her spirit sing
She’s the one who likes to spread her wings and fly
My one and only, one of a kind.
And she soars to heights unknown
She closes her eyes and flies where no one’s been before
She dances when she walks, she sings when she talks
She knows how to do me, knows how to move me.
With a smile that kills and looks to move mountains
She’s sending me chills all over again.
I’ll follow her down to wherever she wants me
Cause wherever she is that’s where I’ll find a friend.
She’s the one who gives me everything
She’s the one who lets her spirit sing
She’s the one who likes to spread her wings and fly
My one and only, one of a kind.
Yes, she’s the one who gives me everything
She’s the one who lets her spirit sing
She’s the one who likes to spread her wings and fly
My one and only, one of a kind.
Yes she’s my one and only, my one and only
She’s my one and only, one of a kind.

White Stallion
He walks home under the streetlights
Casting shadows long and dark across the sidewalk
Wondering how he ever came,
Wondering how he ever came this far down the road
And who’s he gonna turn to now. Now there’s no where left for him to go.
He’ll go home riding, riding on a white stallion.
She wakes up and takes a long look in the mirror
A few more line around her eyes tells her she’s been living lies again.
How did she ever get this far, how did she ever get this far down.
Who’s she gonna turn to now, who’s she gonna find this time around.
She’ll go home riding, riding on a white stallion.
And it’s late, not too late to penetrate
The life you left behind, the one you’re trying so hard to find tonight
Keep your chin up high, boy, keep your head up high toward the sky
And show ‘em who you really are,
Show ‘em what your made of while you ride.
And you’ll go home riding, riding on a white stallion.

Leaving Familiar
Here I go leaving familiar, I’ve known her for such a long time.
Been stuck in my ways what more can I say
Familiar you’re no friend of mine.
We swam against the tide and we always took pride
In knowing each other so fine.
Then we got lazy, I must’ve gone crazy
The whole world was passing me by.
Here I am leaving familiar behind. Here I am leaving familiar behind.
Here I go leaving familiar, I guess for whatever it’s worth.
I’ll miss you sometimes but you’re no friend of mine
Familiar you’re worse than a curse.
We stood hand in hand while we walked through our plan.
Together we swore hope to die
Then we got lazy, the future got hazy
The whole world was passing me by.
Here I am leaving familiar behind. Here I am leaving familiar behind.
Day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute familiar I’m in it
And I can’t say why things change
But I know that they’re changing today.
Cause here I go leaving familiar
I’m shaking the world that I know
Familiar you’re kind but I’m leaving behind
The things I know need letting go.
Here I am leaving familiar. Here I am leaving familiar.
Here I am leaving familiar. Here I am leaving familiar behind.

Tell Me That You Love Me
Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me, don’t pass me by.
You came from outer space looking for a place
I said I dig you baby, I said it to your face.
Oh, Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me. Don’t pass me by.
You were lookin’ so good. You know it’s understood.
I’ve got to have you baby, if I only could.
Oh, Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me. Don’t pass me by.
You were feelin’ fine, drinkin’ some wine
I don’t know how to tell ya, baby, I’ve got to make ya mine.
Oh, Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me. Don’t pass me by.
You wore silk socks, lookin’ like a fox.
I have to have baby, knock, knock, knock.
Oh, Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me, don’t pass me by.
I’m on my knees, beggin’ baby please.
Let me be lover, lover, don’t be such a tease.
Oh, Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me, don’t pass me by.
Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me.
Tell me that you love me. Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you love me, don’t pass me by.

Spinning Your Wheels
Your heart beats a rhythm to the soul of a rolling stone
Desperate living has got you on the run
You don’t know where you’re going,
you don’t know where you’re comin’ from
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels
Cry yourself a river and swim ‘til you can’t hold on
Sleepin’ on the beach and singing all the same sad songs
You don’t know what’s right. You don’t know right from wrong.
You got your headlights on but your spinning your wheels
You got your headlights on but your spinning your wheels
Spinning your wheels – going nowhere.
Spinning your wheels – standing still
Going nowhere – spinning your wheels. Spinning your wheels.
When will I see you again? I don’t know.
When will I hold you again? I don’t know.
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels
You’re almost finished but you’re nowhere near the end
Looking for someone on whom you can depend.
But there’s no one out there considers you a friend.
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels
Spinning your wheels – going nowhere.
Spinning your wheels – standing still
Going nowhere – spinning your wheels. Spinning your wheels.
When will I see you again? I don’t know.
When will I hold you again? I don’t know.
And will this thing ever end? I don’t know.
You got your headlights on but you’re spinning your wheels x3
Ahhhhh. Spinning your wheels, going nowhere.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this the 4th, the 5th, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
You saw her bathing on the roof.
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne and cut your hair.
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain, I don’t even know the name
And if I did, well really what’s it to ya.
There’s a blaze of light in every word,
It doesn’t matter which you heard.
The Holy or the broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn’t much. I couldn’t feel so I tried to touch.
I told the truth I didn’t come to fool ya.
And even though it all went wrong I stand before the Lord of song
With nothing on my tongue save Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah

One More Song
Life, it comes and goes.
Like a river flows, like nobody knows.
And the world spins round and round
It don’t make a sound, it won’t pull you down.
But how your life can change the world
And how your world can change the lives of everyone you’ll ever know.
Why don’t you smile for awhile with me
Cry for awhile with me. We’ll laugh out loud one more time.
Why don’t you smile for awhile with me
Cry for awhile with me we’ll sing one more song.
Peace is a quick goodbye, when there’s suffering and a tearful eye
And time, it passes on, taking everything with it as it moves along.
But how some time can bring you peace
And how your peace leads to release
And all the while you’re watching over me.
Why don’t you smile for awhile with me
Cry for awhile with me. We’ll laugh out loud one more time.
Why don’t you smile for awhile with me
Cry for awhile with me we’ll sing one more song.
Love it knows no bounds
You can’t turn it off or turn around.
It’s in the eyes of every child who looks into a mothers’ eyes
And sees a love that never dies.
Why don’t you smile for awhile with me
Cry for awhile with me. We’ll laugh out loud one more time.
Why don’t you smile for awhile with me
Cry for awhile with me we’ll sing one more song.
We’ll sing, ‘take the ribbons from my hair’.
