MY AWAKENING
My Awakening
V- 1
You’ve never seen me
It’s not your fault
Cause I never really believed in me at all
Coming into my own
Playing it safe for too long
Even my feet can feel a change coming on
chorus
Looking through my own wings
Fooled by transparency
The beauty that’s in front of me
Has been mine all this time
I can fly, I can fly, I can fly
It’s My awakening
V- 2
I hold the brush
I am the artist
There’s a masterpiece of colors getting started
I searched for strength
Found it inside of me
Now when my fear locks a door I hold the key
chorus
Looking through my own wings
Fooled by transparency
The beauty that’s in front of me
Has been mine all this time
I can fly, I can fly, I can fly
It’s My awakening
fly fly fly
chorus
Looking through my own wings
Fooled by transparency
The beauty in front of me
is Mine
fly fly fly
It’s my awakening
It's my awakening
It's my awakening
It's my awakening --- END ---

FIND A BEACH
V1
Put a chair in the water, sand in my toes
Lather the sunscreen on my cheeks, my nose
Leave my worries behind me, cares of the day
Rely on the ocean to wash them all away
Pre-Chorus 1
Anytime life, gets the best of me
Or I'm confused, need some clarity
Chorus
I find a beach
find a beach
a refuge my problems can"t reach
I find a beach
I find a beach
when I need the sun to shine
I find a beach
V2
Hear the waves roll in, sun on my face
I bet heaven is, like this place
Sit and just listen to, the surf symphony
Mother nature provides, the perfect therapy
pre chorus 2
One deep breath of, salty ocean air
Always helps me, forget all my cares
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Magically My burdens disappear
When ocean whispers in my ear
Repeat chorus

FOREVER BETTER DEMO
I was down, so hurt, so sad
You were there, you took my hand
In your eyes I found strength and hope
Your caring heart healed my soul
You had wisdom I couldn’t know
Pre:
You walked with me ‘til I found my way
You lifted me to a new safe place
CHORUS
Did you know that you were the special one
Because you put me way above
You showed me what love could do
Your soft voice spoke the truth and
I am forever better because of you
You were kind with smiling eyes
You cheered me on and watched me fly
You stood strong to see me through
Pre-Chorus
Your open arms protected me
You were everything a friend should be
CHORUS
Bridge
Feel the wind
Touch the sky
CHORUS
Ending Line:
Forever better because of you --- END ---

REIGNITE!
REIGNITE
verse:
found an old photograph
an excited little kid
large mouth bass on a drop shot hook
bright eyes and a proud grin
Then I caught my reflection
the face that was once that child
dimming flame burning out
where passion had raged wild
I let the tough times
get the best of me
regret, mistakes, loss, heartaches
fear of what is going to be
chorus:
but tonight
gonna find
my fire
give thanks for
the new days
i’m given
to try
to fall in
love again
with just
being alive
cause embers
can turn to ash
but they can also
reignite
VERSE:
I used to laugh more and love better
was happy with simple things
there wasn’t much that i wanted
but life met all my needs
I lived out loud, seized the days
saw promise in everything
big dream and raw joy
heart and soul carefree
chorus:
but tonight
gonna find
my fire
give thanks for
the new days
i’m given
to try
to fall in
love again
with just
being alive
cause embers
can turn to ash
but they can also
reignite
bridge:
I had a whole lot to learn back then,
it’s true
but that kid i was could still teach me
a thing or two
chorus:
but tonight
gonna find
my fire
give thanks for
the new days
i’m given
to try
to fall in
love again
with just
being alive
cause embers

ASCEND
Ascend
It’s often tempting to follow the path of least resistance
But the easy way isn’t always ideal
The winding trail that leads steeply uphill might be better
To try and find your dreams and make them real
You can ascend to a new level, you can transcend the negative
You can choose your views, choose how to live
You can ascend, you can ascend
It’s no big deal to be brave when you’re riding a wave of good luck
It’s another thing, when the going gets tough
You can’t be courageous unless you feel threatened and scared
That’s when you’re gonna show what you’re made of
You can ascend to a new level, you can transcend the negative
You can choose your views, choose how to live
You can ascend, you can ascend
Oh yes you can, you can ascend
Oh yes you can, you can ascend
In these polarized times a political divide is ripping out America’s heart
But the kindness that draws us together is stronger than the hatred that drives us apart
We can ascend to a new level, we can transcend the negative
We can choose our views, choose how to live
We can ascend, we can ascend
Oh yes we can, we can ascend
Oh yes we can, we can ascend

NEVER DID
Never Did
V1
We were high on honeymoon low on money,
Bittersweet love, that was our twenties,
Old enough, but too young to commit,
Thought we’d always stay together,
But we never did,
V2
Yeah we held each other so close, danced when it rained,
Shared the tears, through our laughter and pain,
Dreamed of a big house and little kids,
Promised to give her the world, forever,
But I never did,
Chorus
Never did undo our done and gone,
She learned to let go, I tried to moved on,
But I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
V3
Just looking back now, on us then,
Wishing we were one all over again,
Can’t forgot them last words from her lips,
Swore she’d stay in touch when I left,
But she never did,
Chorus
Never did undo our done and gone,
I let her go she tried to hold on,
And I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
Bridge
She went out into the world,
Thought I lost my country girl,
God brought her back in the end,
Never thought she’d be back in my arms again
Chorus
Cause I.. Never did undo our done and gone,
I let her go, she tried to hold on
And I still pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
To the why we never did,
Never did I pray like hell to learn to live,
With all the things we were gonna do,
to the why we never did,
We never did,
Never did.... --- END ---

BREAKIN MY OWN HEART (FEAT. KAITLYN CARLISLE)
Lyin’ here alone with you we hardly make a sound
I miss stayin’ up at night just to talk or mess around
You couldn’t get enough of me
Now I think of some excuse ev’ry time you shut me out
Blame myself and give you the benefit of doubt
You’re here but you don’t wanna be
I let you let me down
I keep lowerin’ and lowerin’ the bar
And every time I do
I’m just breakin’ breakin’ my own heart
Now when I get home, you don’t ask about my day
I lean in for a kiss you don’t meet me half the way
It’s like you’ve given up on me
CHORUS
It hurts to stay here
It hurts to go
Damage has been done
But hearts can get unbroke
FINAL CHORUS
So I won’t let you let me down
Now I’m raisin’ up the bar I’m raisin’ up that bar
Never let it drop
Gonna stop breakin’ my own heart
Breakin’ my own heart breakin’ my own heart

Seem like lessons you’ve learned

Now you’re closing up tight
Like a flower in the night

Let’s swim out to the island
And lie in the shade
I’ll tell you all my secrets
Don’t be afraid

I
Saw you there on the beach
So far out of reach
I don’t mean to preach, but
I’ve
Been through hard times too
I have some kind words for you

We
Can start again from square one
With wisdom hard-won

We

BACK ON THE ROAD
Back on the Road
Some friends took me out on the town
Yeah, I'm doing fine
For the very first time
Since she let me down
Like a worn-out truck,
Trash on the dash,
Tires flat, out of gas,
And stuck in the mud
Now her image is fading, like an old Polaroid
I rev the engine up, and leave that dust behind
I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road
Yeah, I'm back on the road
Yeah I'm ready to roll
I’m in damn good shape
Ever since I escaped
Now it’s all systems go
Locking eyes with a girl on a Friday night
Gonna ask her name and take her for a ride
I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road
Yeah, I'm back on the road
Rain stops pouring, birds start singing again It's not if, but when
I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road
I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road
Yeah I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover (life is painted red yes I'm back)
I’m out to find another (life is painted red yes I'm back)

Our love revved up, as the plan to ride grew
Throttled the engine, summer wind blew
To whatever comes, It's me and you
Jumped on the chrome and black, off we flew..Yeah
Climbin' the East Coast, rain pounded D.C.
Thunderclap struck like your beauty strikes me
It's actress and playwright in Baltimore
Rode through Philly to the Jersey Shore
Harley Springer, we're gonna go far
Harley Springer, you're my guiding star
Oh Yeah......................Harley Springer
A towerin' skyline, steel bridges, New York
A small room to rent, Odd jobs to work
You scored some bit parts, I picked up my pen
Cruisin' on Broadway, lookin' for a way in

Harley Springer, you're my guiding star
Racin', chasin' dreams, Harley Springer
Ohh...Ohh...Ohh.......Harley Springer
Our candle burned down, the bike's gone
Like a winter leaf, we were clingin on
Knockin' on doors, with nothin' to show
We walked the city streets, covered in snow...Yeah
Spring will soon be here, Babe it might be the best
If we get a used bike, and headed out west
Harley Springer, we're gonna go far
Harley Springer, you're my guiding star

Personal Truce
Written by Carin Fradin and Brad Hacker
V1
I won’t be a prisoner to my mind
Spinning stories all day
These demons inside me keep wasting my time
And they’re not going away
I’m stuck in this mood, the blues
Something I didn’t choose
But if I’m livin with this
I’m doin it my way, and I got some rules
Chorus
I know what I’m fighting for, I won’t get lost in this war
I’m taking control
Learning to love myself, drown all those voices out
Change my whole point of view
There’s nothing I can’t do
I call a Personal Truce
V2
Now I’m chasin my dreams, feelin so free
Not fallin down when I fail
I keep moving forward, taking the risks I need
To put the wind in my sails
Chorus
Started feeling stronger
When I stopped beating myself up
Found I held all the power when I let my doubts go
I could be enough

GET MY LOVE UP
Get My Love Up Copyright Kevin W. Kenney
Rainbow rescues the sky
Long lost sun has inspired
Little children to sell lemonade
Give those kids a high five and a ten as I buy
A cup and tell them they can keep the change
My skin burns hot, struttin' in summer clothes
Glad this sunscreen can’t get to my soul
GOD GAVE ME THIS SUNNY DAY TO GET MY LOVE UP
GOT A POCKETFUL OF RAYS, HEART BEATS HALLELUJAH
I’LL SHARE THE LIGHT EVERYONE
IT GETS BRIGHTER WHEN I PASS IT ON
A SUNSHINE CHAIN REACTION
OOH, TO GET MY LOVE UP
Colors laugh everywhere
Smiles float through the air
I grab a few and hand them out
Put on my peace sign pair of cool shades to declare
A parade down every street in town
My skin burns hot, struttin' in summer clothes
Glad this sunscreen can't get to my soul

Stuck inside all by myself, a prisoner of the rain
Together weather let me feel sweet heaven on my face

Screen Door
Writers: Timothy Scott Williams and Sarah Geis Williams
(V1)
Gotta drink in my hand
Good dog at my feet
Hole in the screen door lets him come and go without me having to leave my seat
Lie down when I’m tired
Get up when I’m woke
Pick up my guitar when it gets too hard to fix all the things that are broke
(Chorus)
Sometimes I try to remember all the names of women I’ve loved
But my mind seems to run away to things not worth thinking of
(V2)
Don’t live by my phone
Don’t even look at my clocks
But I can keep time by the man that comes by to put my mail in the box
They say that one day
Water’ll cover my porch
But I’m prepared - if I’m still here - my fishing pole’s right by the door
Repeat Chorus
(V3)
Like dandelion seeds
When the wind starts blowin’
Some friends drift on but just look at my lawn - new ones always are growing.
Another drink in my hand
Two dogs at my feet
Hole in the screen door lets ‘em come and go without me having to leave my seat
Watching this crazy world ebb and flow without me having to leave my seat

Superstar stands up on the stage who decided they’ve got it made A family man with kids and a wife Nothing more he needs in his life For yourself make a name
Chorus Who can say just why we’re here No one knows how long we have Every moment’s considered dear so keep your loved ones near and enjoy it while you can feel all the love that you can stand enjoy it while you can
Verse A sick man struggles to stay alive He knows too well, times not on his side Young couples fight and nobody wins Wasted time, you’ll never see again Before you know, it all slips away

Verse Strung out people, the walking dead Some find inner peace instead The restless kind they roam around Find yourself, why won’t you settle down Happiness needs a chance
Bridge A billion souls live day to day some forever lost, some find a way If happiness is within your grasp, make it last, make it last and enjoy it while you can

What the future holds is a mystery to me

Hold on to the friends that you should meet.
Through the streets I run, I’m part of the harmony
Opening my arms to whatever waits for me.

Well, the city sings me a lullaby,
Talks to me and soothes me,
Takes control and moves me.
Dance to the rhythm of my life.

Learn to love the new me.
Ah, holding on as the music takes me up above, beyond
All the sadness and sorrow that have weighed me down,
That have weighed me down.

Every chance you take, all your choices, wrong

Cause rivers rise, but then recede
Cuts heal, after they bleed
Storms roll in, they come and go
Believe in tomorrow
And when you come out the other side
You’ll believe in the ride
You’ll believe in the ride
If you think your best days are way back when

They say you can’t get it back again
I say get in line for another blast

START AGAIN FEATURING ORIGINAL CAST OF “WAITING”
Start Again (from the musical "Waiting")
Sarah Motes Ashley 2015
Verse 1
What if there was something that you really wanted
what if there was something that you gave up on
what if one day
in a strange way
you don't understand
you held that thing
in the palm of your hand
I'm afraid to breathe
I'm not made to believe
Chorus
This hope is too hot to hold
but I'm not gonna let it go
I want
I need
my broken heart to mend
let the story of my life start again
Verse 2
what if there was someone who you disappointed?
what if you did something that you can't undo?
what if somehow
starting right now
without knowing why
you had a chance
you might get one more try
Chorus
BRIDGE:
Let the story of my family
all the wasted years
let the story of betrayal
all the secrets all the tears
oh let me find redemption
in the ashes and regret
i'm so scared to trust again
but I can't give up yet
Final Chorus
This hope is too hot to cold
but I'm not gonna let it go
I want I need
this broken heart to mend
let the story of my life
in the darkness bring the light
let the story of my shame
heal the hurt
release the blame
it's the story of us all
we all have so far to fall
let the story of my life
start
heal this heart
again

Squeeze the Day
I’m not living for tomorrow
Take one day at a time
Count my blessings not my sorrows
Keep a positive frame of mind
So – I’m here until I’m not
No frettin’ and no fussin’
Right here, right now is all I’ve got
Life goes on until it doesn’t
Squeeze the Day
In between the taking and the giving
Squeeze the Day
make time for living
Easy come and easy go
let go of what I can’t control
Take it fast or take it slow
I look for diamonds, chip away the stone
Squeeze the Day
In between the taking and the giving
Squeeze the Day
make time for living
Bridge: The task ahead is never as great
As the power within me
I hold onto hope, hold on to my faith
Wrap my arms around it, Ooh - Squeeze the Day

BRAND NEW DAY
I used to think that I could never be
could never be someone who's brave
but deep inside something burns in me
like a fire I can't contain
'cause there are dreams that never let me sleep
and give me strength to carry on
it's time to make some headlines
push it to the red line
and take off...3...2...1...
It's a brand new day
and I am rising like the sun
unafraid
to shine my light on everyone
and I will chase my dreams across the sky
I will spread my wings and fly
it's a brand new day
I used to think it was impossible
to run my fingers through the stars
now I know I am unstoppable
I'm following my heart
straight ahead, I'm never looking back
stronger than I've ever been
I can go the distance
break through the resistance
never giving up, never giving in

'cause there are dreams that never let me sleep
and give me strength to carry on

LIVE FOR YOU & DIE IN THE FAITH
Live for You and Die in the Faith
You came knocking on the door of my heart
You brought me into the light out of the dark
You have washed me clean and made me brand new
I’ve accepted Your call to follow You
Even though this journey will always be tough
Still I’ll fight the good fight without giving up
If I’m persecuted I’ll still run the race
You’ll carry me with Your saving grace
[CHORUS]
I will live for You and die in the faith
I don’t care what anyone has to say
You give me a purpose that no one can take away
So I’ll live for You and die in the faith
I’m trusting You will give me strength to go on
I know I’ll make it even if the road is long
You will lead me till I’m on the other side
All that’s in this world I leave behind
(Chorus)
[BRIDGE]
When I make it to the promised land
I will claim the prize found in Your hands
I’ll see You face-to-face in the end
But I’ll keep pressing on until then
(Chorus)
[Chorus II]
I will live for You and die in the faith
I’m going to put You first everyday
For me to live is Christ and to die is gain
I will live for You and die in the faith

CALL ME A SENIOR CITIZEN
Call Me a Senior Citizen
Words and Music ©2022 Steve Bryant
(Verse)
There’s not much I haven’t done,
And nothing much that I can’t do.
I’ll take on any challenge,
And always see it through.
My years have brought me wisdom,
God and common sense kept me alive.
There’s so much more I can do.
I’ve got the time and still have the drive.
(Chorus)
Call me a senior citizen.
I’m better than I was yesterday.
I know what works and what won’t.
It’s high time I had my say.
Call me a senior citizen,
Advertisers say I don’t exist.
So many battles I have won,
Almost too many to list.
(Verse)
I can drive an 18-wheeler,
Write a song that will make you cry.
I can still turn a pretty lady’s head,
I don’t even have to try.
I can build a bookshelf or a house,
Fix almost anything that breaks,
I’m not afraid to try new things,
And learn from my mistakes.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse)
I can cook you a gourmet meal,
Tell a story where the good guys still win.
Get along with you if we disagree,
Walk away with a handshake and grin.
I’ll lend you a helping hand,
Like I did when I was young.
Don’t treat me like my life is over,
I’m telling you it’s just begun
(Repeat Chorus) --- END ---

ALIVE
I was trapped in a never ending maze
Every single path took me the wrong way
But today I broke down the walls
Felt the sun on my face
And now I'm loving it all
Chorus
I feel alive
Changing my life
See the world through a different lens
Where the colours are more intense
I feel alive
Alive
Verse 2
I taste freedom walking in the rain
A sweet sensation every step I take
No more stress, I'm now calm
Breathe in and breathe out
Look up and stretch my arms
Chorus
Bridge
I'm gonna make the most of my time
Everything's feeling so sublime

STAND UP AND BELIEVE
VERSE 1:
You're beginning the end of your journey,
One more step, you’re almost done,
These demons can’t keep you imprisoned,
Lean on me ‘til the craving’s gone,
PRECHORUS
It’s so hard to lay down the things you need so bad,
Let go of those wasted years & put ‘em in the past,
Knocked down and ragged, emotionally tattered,
Stay proud don’t give into the pain,
All is not lost, believe you still matter,
You have the right to succeed, just have a little faith,
Stand up and believe.
VERSE 2:
See the light at the end of the tunnel,
Another mile, you’re almost home,
This struggle won't keep you from winning,
Don’t give up ‘til the race is run,
PRECHORUS
It’s what’s on the other side keeps you pushing on,
It's not how you get there, or if you finish strong
Knocked down and ragged, emotionally tattered,
Stay proud don’t give into the pain,
All is not lost, believe you still matter,
You have the right to succeed, just have a little faith,
Stand up and believe,
PRECHORUS
Each breath you take brings you closer to your dreams,
Keep on moving forward, life is a precious thing,
Knocked down and ragged, emotionally tattered,
Stay proud don’t give into the pain,
All is not lost, believe you still matter,
You have the right to succeed, just have a little faith,
Stand up and believe,
Stand up and believe, stand up and believe

MY OLD TOWN
My Old Town / Martin Dean
VS1
I had to leave this tiny place and head out to the city,
I had to find out what the fuss was all about.
They said the men were all dressed up and the girls were pretty.
There's always plenty of work and no one ever has to go without.
Looking back in my rear-view mirror, that's when things started becoming clearer,
that might be about the time when I started to have my doubts,
REFRAIN
about leaving my old town, I'm leaving my old town.
VS2
It didn't take long before something began to tell me,
this ain't the kinda place that I thought it was supposed to be like.
People honking their horns and showing off their middle fingers,
even those pretty little girls didn't know how to be polite.
I met a girl who didn't do huntin' or fishin',
she had a pretty face but she had me wishin'
I'd never let those country girls out of my site,
REFRAIN
back in my old town, I'm goin' back to my old town.
Instumental
VS3
Mom and I went down on Sunday to the church where I first met Jesus,
I listened real good and slipped a 20 into the plate,
I know that Momma McCreech is gonna cry when she first sees us,
Invite us over for supper 1:30 and don't be late.
Then she asked me if I'm gonna be stayin' for long,
she said that this town is where I really belong,
And that I need to meet her cute young niece named Mary Kate.
REFRAIN
Back in my old town, I'm back in my old town.
VS4 / BR
Me and Mary Kate gotta little thing goin' on,
and now we both know that it won't be long,
for her and I to know this is where we both wanna' stay,
REFRAIN
back in my old town, back in my old town. --- END ---

RISE ABOVE
RISE ABOVE
© Words and Music:
Marinus Vandertogt/ Donna Aylor
Produced by Jason Garner / Vocals: Whitney Jordan
There’ll come a time
When you feel you’ve reached the end
You’ll fall down
And feel you can’t get up again
You tell yourself
Give up this dream
There’s no way you can win
The hardest part is not the distance
Or the struggle and the pain
Not the endless time spent waiting
Just to be denied again
It’s holding on when you’re not strong
CHORUS:
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
IF YOU BELIEVE
MORE THAN A WANT
IT’S WHAT YOU NEED
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING SO MUCH
EVER FELT A GREATER NEED TO TOUCH
IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE
IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUT OF LOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
You’ve come so close
Turned that spark into a flame
Now dark clouds of fate
Leave you standing in the rain
And once again
You’re back where you began
On the outside
Looking in
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s not the moment when you reach that star
Or walk into the winner’s ring
It’s the moment you know in your heart
You can do anything
REPEAT CHORUS
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
YOU NEVER WANTED ANYTHING SO MUCH
EVER FELT A GREATER NEED TO TOUCH
IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE
IF YOU BELIEVE IT’S OUT OF LOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE
YOU’LL RISE ABOVE

So i shift my gears, hold the wheel and then drive.

MORE OF ME
More of Me
Took my house but that’s alright it ain’t hard to move
Found a few old cardboard boxes and packed up all I could
Moved my life from one side of this town into the other
Still not over you but I’m starting to discover
That there’s there’s Less of you, None of us
More of on my own
Double shot nights, Single girls
But still more time alone
I’m finding out things about myself I never thought i'd see
Cause there's less of you
But more of me
Started playing out on weekdays more than ever in my life
Wrote a thousand break-up songs I can’t believe that people like
Watched every action movie that you never let me see
And I’ve made way more friends now that you have set me free
That there’s there’s Less of you, None of us
More of on my own
Double shot nights, Single girls
But still more time alone
I’m finding out things about myself I never thought i'd see
Cause there's less of you
But more of me
Went on more first dates than anyone should ever have to do
Spent way to much on whiskey trying to find a brand new you
But I found something greater that I never knew I had
It turns out i’m a better man when I’m not your better half
That there’s there’s Less of you, None of us
More of on my own
Double shot nights, Single girls
But still more time alone
I’m finding out things about myself I never thought i'd see
Cause there's less of you
But more of me
I’m learning who I am as I instead if we
Cause there’s less of you
And more of me

INDIANA WINTER
INDIANA WINTER
Lyrics and music by Daniel Curzon
VERSE #1:
I’VE GOT ME A ROTTEN LITTLE BAND
THAT’S SCREWED AROUND HERE AND OTHER PARTS.
WE’VE BEEN AS FAR AS ALABAM',
GOT AS HIGH AS NUMBER SIX
ON SOME BLUESY MUSIC CHARTS
VERSE #2:
I JUST GOT A CALL TO COME ON HOME.
THEY NEED SOMEBODY TO CARE FOR DAD.
ALWAYS PLAYED PAPER AND THE COMB,
BUT HE SORT OF SHRIVELLED UP,
AND HIS SMILE WENT SORT OF SAD
CHORUS:
IT'S GONNA BE AN INDIANA WINTER,
FULL OF HAIL AND SLEET AND SNOW.
IT'S GONNA BE AN 'INTERESTING' WINTER.
MAN, DO I EVER KNOW!
(a laugh/cry)
WITH DRIFTS UP TO YOUR KNEES,
THE TEARS ON YOUR EYELIDS FREEZE.
Repeat CHORUS:
Plus: I’VE GOT MORE! (croaked)
I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE!
WELL,BRING IT ON!
I’VE GOT MORE.
I’VE GOT MORE!
VERSE #3
BACK WHEN, I HUNG ON, THE WAY THAT YOU DO,
MARRIED A TOUGH LITTLE GAL ONE DAY.
BUT WHEN THAT WENT GOD KNOWS WHERETO,
AND SHE STOPPED AND JUST WALKED OUT,.
I HAD TO KEEP THE COLD AT BAY.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
(sounds of being chilled to the bone)
Ooo ooo ooo!.
It's just weather.
Ooo ooo ooo!.
Could be better.
Verse #4
YEP, COME SPRING, I’M GOIN' ON THE ROAD.
HOPE I’VE GOT ME A COUPLE OF HITS.
GONNA TRY ANOTHER AREA CODE.
THINK I MIGHT BE IN MY PRIME.
GOT AT LEAST HALF MY WITS.

IN THIS TOWN
monday morning in this city
get on out and look around
figure out which way the wind blows
in this town, in this town
I used the dream I had a gold mine
a pick or shovel in my hand
a team of horses standing ready
for my command, my command
bridge
now I'm out to seek my fortune
no map to guide me on my way
to build a better life tomorrow
than yesterday, yesterday
nobody said this would be easy
'would have been a fairy tale
I'm going out to grab that tiger
by the tail, by the tail
in this town, in this town

Crocuses and red winged black birds
Make their spring return
I am alive, I have survived
And come out the other side
I don’t mind snow on the ground
With purple flowers and bird song
CHORUS
These are things I know
What I see from my window
And feel within my soul
I don’t know much
But these are things I know
V2
An azure sky, a cloudy day
A gift either way
I try to take each as it comes
With hope for another one
What I share is all I am
Each journey has a different path
CHORUS
These are things I know
What I see from my window
And feel within my soul
I don’t know much
But these are things I know

All I can do
Is control how I view
This day and what it can mean
Until night washes over me

ONE EIGHTY
One Eighty
I was broken’s definition
Off the rails and on a mission
If there was trouble I would find it
My release was my affliction
Always chasing my addiction
Most days I just wouldn’t fight it
I thought I was too far gone to get clean
Jesus stepped into my world and set me free
When I was nothing but a lost cause running
He reached down to the bottom of the bottom
And saved me
He turned me one eighty
Now I may not know the way back home
But step by step he made a way and a promise
To lead me
He turned me one eighty
He’s the God of saving lives
I thank God he saved mine
He saved mine
He saved mine
Now the life I broke to pieces
Is in the hands of Jesus
And I know he can redeem it
His grace is more than able
To make me whole and I am thankful
That he found me there when he did
I thought I was too far gone to get clean
Jesus stepped into my world to set me free
When I was nothing but a lost cause running
He reached down to the bottom of the bottom
And saved me
He turned me one eighty
Now I may not know the way back home
But step by step he made a way and a promise
To lead me
He turned me one eighty
He’s the God of saving lives
I thank God he saved mine
Now I own the road that I chose to walk
But I know that I am defined by
Only one thing in my history
The moment that Jesus paid it all
And all my sin and shame
Was thrown into the sea
When I was nothing but a lost cause running
He reached down to the bottom of the bottom
And saved me
He turned me one eighty
Now I may not know the way back home
But step by step he made a way and a promise
To lead me
He turned me one eighty
He’s the God of saving lives
When he could have passed me by
He brought my dead heart back to life
I thank God he saved mine
He saved mine
