SOMEBODY NEW

  • You’ve been traveling lonely

    Moving right along in time

    You’ve heard everyone’s lines

    About having him on your mind

    And you’ve been crying for too long

    And feeling far from everyone

    It’s been way too much time now

    With him on your mind

    And God only knows where you stand

    And God only knows about your man

    And would you give your love to somebody new

    And could you give your life to somebody new

    You’ve been waiting for someone

    Knowing your day will surely come

    It’s taking way too much time now

    To get him off of your mind

    The night turns into the day now

    You couldn’t close your eyes at all

    It’s taking way too much work now

    To get him off of your mind

    And God only knows where you stand

    And God only knows about your man

    And would you give your love to somebody new

    And could you give your life to somebody new

    Somebody new

SOMEHOW

  • The sun is going down, down upon your heart

    Tears are rolling down unveiling how you are

    Don't worry now we'll make it through somehow I know

    Pain is all around from your head to toe

    Body's broken down, emotion at a low

    Don't worry now we'll make it through somehow again

    We know it could be slow, we've been here before

    With hope and adjuration we'll make it through somehow

    Faith is deeper now, deeper than before

    Healing with the Lord is what we're looking for

    Don't worry now we'll make it through somehow again

    We know it will be slow, we've been there before

    With hope and adjuration we'll make it through somehow

    We've been walking with our hand in hand

    Realizing we don't understand

    Even lately we've been sitting down to pray

    It ain't easy but you show your might

    You keep pushing every day and night

    With a longing for the pain to go away

    We've been reminiscing about your strides

    And you've been doin' dancing in your mind

    I've been watching for the symptoms and the signs

    You communicate a smiling face

    Celebrate it with amazing grace

    And every now and then you think that you'll be fine

    We'll make it through somehow...

IT NEVER GOES AWAY

  • Sitting alone again beside that tree

    Remember the day it was only you and me

    We’re gonna take a boat across the sea

    Don’t you wonder when that’s gonna be

    You wanted me I wanted you so why

    Why did we walk away and say goodbye

    I need a love that never has to die

    And a love higher than the sky

    I need a love that will always be

    And a love given endlessly

    My love for you is love so true

    It never goes away

    Driving along the road that takes me home

    I think about the life we called our own

    You needed time I wanted mine so now

    Now we’re just tryin to understand somehow

    You looked me me I looked at you so why

    Why did we leave the hope there in our eyes

    I need a love that never has to die

    And a love higher than the sky

    I need a love that will always be

    And a love given endlessly

    My love for you is love so true

    It never goes away

ONE AND ONLY FIRST

  • I’m still a little crazy but I know I fell in love with you

    I was so in love with you

    You’re still so amazing and it’s true you’re the one I’m talking to

    And telling all those secrets to

    This time only good things do I see and how it’s turning out to be

    Is only good for you and me

    And we don’t have to talk of real life

    And we don’t have to feel the pain

    We could ask what it would be like

    Knowing it won’t be again

    I know I’ll never get to be with you love

    I’ll never feel your touch or see you wake up

    I’ll never get to call you on the telephone

    Never get to ask you when you’ll be home

    I’ll always have to wonder about last night

    And never really know if you are alright

    But one thing that I know

    You’ll always be the one and only first there was for me

    The one and only first there was for me

    I’m still a little crazy but I know I fell in love with you

    I was so in love with you

    Always so in love with you

DO YOU WANNA BELIEVE

  • So many years gone by

    I still see happiness in your eyes

    Do you know why

    Can you tell me why

    So many times you’d cry

    I still see tears running down your face

    Do you know why

    Can you tell me why

    No longer now

    Can you take your heart for granted

    It’s much harder now

    To take your love for granted

    Don’t take your love for granted

    Do you wanna believe in second chances

    Do you wanna be

    Do you wanna believe

    Do you wanna believe in midnight dances

    Do you wanna be

    Do you wanna believe

    Would ever believe we know the answer

    Would you ever be

    Would you ever believe

    No longer now…

    Do you wanna believe…

THE POWER

  • Sometimes when the music disappears

    And you're waiting for the words you long to hear

    Then you're fighting through the moment and the tears

    Those days and the nights that come to be

    Are the guiding light to endless harmonies

    And we just begin to sing them naturally

    So look at your life when you need time thinking it over

    Believe in the power of love

    Walk with me now and the prize gets a little bit closer

    Be free in the power of love

    Wait for the signs and you'll know the one and the only

    Live deep in the power of love

    How long does it take to make some time

    And to know we almost let it pass us by

    Then tomorrow came and gave us one more try

    Somehow you begin to realize

    What a gift we have in every new sunrise

    And there's beauty here that goes beyond the sky

    How does it go when our minds get a little bit older

    We ought to know by now

    And how do we see when our eyes get a little bit older

    We ought to know by now

    So look at your life when you need time thinking it over

    Believe in the power of love

    Walk with me now and the prize gets a little bit closer

    Be free in the power of love

    Wait for the signs and you'll know the one and the only

    Live deep in the power of love

A DREAMER

  • Please take my hand

    Every day that you can

    In every way I’ll be your man

    Please speak my heart

    Telling me how it could be

    And not so much about history

    There’s got to be a dreamer

    Somewhere inside of you

    You got to be a lover

    Sometimes in spite of you

    Would you ever know a dreamer

    Standing right next to you

    You want to be a lover

    Even in spite of you

    Please keep my plan

    To find all the love that you can

    And put all your faith in my hands.

    There’s got to be a dreamer…

FALL INTO THE ROSES

  • All along the shore along the road that we're on

    There's some colorful things to share there waiting for us to find them, to hold them

    Will I fall into the roses or am I blind to what you are

    Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are

    I've got this feeling about the time and what it's about I'm wondering, I'm wondering

    Why does everything seem like rhymes, you're trying to hide I can't find you

    Am I out in the rain

    Will I fall into the roses or am I blind to what you are

    Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are

    All along the shoreline along the sky route that we're on

    I found a reason to think that love is something we're gonna be needing along the way

    Will I fall into the roses or am I blind to what you are

    Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are

    Fall into the roses, am I blind to what you are

    Fall into the roses, am I blind

CHILDREN

  • Skipping rocks over the pond strolling through the grass

    See the trees with moss of North leaning in the breeze

    Walk beside the waterfall see the children play and sing with sweet enhancement of the day

    They don't know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes

    Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind

    Several years have come and gone we're turning older now

    We've got children of our own living in the town

    They see us as what we are, not what we can be

    Using all our precious time for someone else's dream

    They don't know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes

    Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind

    That's all they have in mind

    Open hearts and rigid minds oh, we'd love to stay

    Our children help remind us how we should remain

    They don't know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes

    Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind

    Do they know about the missile raids and plain old rushing planes

    Butterflies and sweet mud pies is all they have in mind, that's all they have in mind

    It's all they have in mind

DON'T DROP THAT MONKEY

  • Soft and cuddly, warm and fuzzy, he has a funny little grin

    You keep him close and hug him to the end

    You love him, you need him, you travel far

    You know him, you feed him, you hold him in your arms

    His name is Hairy his coat is berry,

    You drag him everywhere you go

    He is your best friend in the world

    You use him, excuse him, you have a role

    Accuse him and then you lose him

    Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey on the floor

    Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey any more

    Don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey

    In the morning you cry your eyes out

    You can't believe what you have done

    You don't remember where you put him down

    Suddenly you see him laying on the ground

    You'll never let him go again

    Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey on the floor

    Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey any more

    Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey on the floor

    Don't drop that monkey, don't drop that monkey

    Don't drop that monkey any more...

SPRING SONG

  • Snowflakes as big as butterfly wings

    Falling forever it seems

    The sun comes out and melts the ice

    Then it starts to snow again...evedrybody sing

    Spring is just around the corner, the corner of your only mind

    Spring is just around the corner and it won't be a long time

    Tear drops as big as falling raindrops

    Running down the cheeks, oh why

    Doesn't everybody cry

    Spring is just around the corner, the corner of your only mind

    Spring is just around the corner and it won't be a long time

    Don't be along, don't be a long, don't be a long time

    Spring is just around the corner, the corner of your only mind

    Spring is just around the corner and it won't be a long, long, long time

    It won't be a long time

A BETTER PLACE

  • Love and understanding are words that give meaning to the soul

    Even if we cannot see tomorrow we can always bring love into today

    Caring is the answer to the suffering and hurt that we endure

    When we're reaching out to someone we can maybe take a little pain away

    Have you ever seen a hungry child crying

    Do you wanna be the one who always turns away

    The world could be a better place if we just help one another

    And a giving hand can brighten someone's day

    Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another

    And a smile can go a long, long way

    Hanging on to your resentments puts a load upon the freedom that you need

    Letting go of all the hatred is a sign of hope that love will come your way

    Has there ever been a time when you were feeling down and lonely

    And another loving soul was there to share your grief

    The world could be a better place if we just help one another

    And a giving hand can brighten someone's day

    Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another

    And a smile can go a long, long way

    The time has come for us all to be as one and to bring back something near to sanity

    With an open heart we can surely play a part in the healing lives of all humanity

    Love and understanding are words that give meaning to the soul

    The world could be a better place if we just help one another

    And a giving hand can brighten someone's day

    Our life could be a living grace if we only love one another

    And a smile can go a long, long way

    The world would be a better place if we just help one another

    And a giving hand will brighten someone's day

    Our life would be a living grace if we only love one another

    And a smile will go a long, long way

WHERE IS THE LOVE

  • Do you know from where you got your freedom

    Can you put a price on it for me

    Do you ever feel you're life was home grown or is it all from society

    You always find a way to feel so proud

    And making sure you're always around, telling all those silly stories

    After all we've said and done, don't you know the day will come

    To see the things that really make you smile

    You better look beyond just what you see

    And have a book that you can always read, then tell me about what we could be

    Where is the love going to be

    Where is the love that's all there needs to be

    Where is the love going to be

    Where is the love it's meant for you and me

    Sitting around a table when you look me in the eye

    We all remember yesterday and then begin to cry

    One thing leads into tomorrow, it seems like way to much to say

    Now tell me again how we should feel

    Where is the love going to be

    Where is the love that's all there needs to be

    Where is the love going to be

    Where is the love it's meant for you and me

AND WE SING

  • Hear the simple moves of a melody

    In your dream as you sleep

    Then you hear some words and harmonies

    And they complete a song to be

    When it plays it lights up your world

    And you sing all over the world

    Work another day, drop the pebble in

    It sends a ripple out and the change begins

    See the little child and sing to them

    It’ll turn their frown into a grin

    With a wave you’re moving the world

    What you say will light up their world

    And we sing all over the world

    Whoa….

    And we sing all over the world

    And we sing all over the world…
