My Friend

Freedom

Came through the fog, lost in the gray,
Every step led me away 
But now the chords are ringing true,
Every note is shining through.

Stepping forward, eyes open wide,
No more fear, no need to hide.
Every moment feels brand new,
A bright new world is clearly in view.

No more echoes, no more doubt,
I can hear the truth ringing out.
Every sound, every sight I see

Every shadow, fading fast,
Clarity is here at last.

I was lost but now I've come to see,
I’m where I need to be.

Came through the fog, lost in the gray,
Every step led me away 
But now the chords are ringing true,
Every note is shining through.

Music

No more echoes, no more doubt,
I can hear the truth ringing out.
Every sound, every sight I see

Every shadow, fading fast,
Clarity is here at last.

I was lost but now I've come to see,
I’m where I need to be.

Stepping forward, eyes open wide,
No more fear, no need to hide.
Every moment feels brand new,
A bright new world is clearly in view.
A bright new world is clearly in view.

A Bright New World

I woke to my heart on fire
Racing to the beat,
Life is such a melody—oh, it’s sounds so sweet!

This love’s got me flying
No fear, no doubt,
Every moment’s magic
Gonna sing it out

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up and take control
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!

Got a spark that’s burning
To the rhapsodies we write,
With you my soul is soaring
Higher and higher through the night

This love’s got me flying
No fear, no doubt,
Every moment’s magic
Gonna sing it out

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up and take control
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!

Every step’s electric
Now we’re running wild and free,
Our Love is now our anthem so come and sing it with me!

This love’s got me flying
No fear, no doubt,
Every moment’s magic
Gonna sing it out

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up and take control
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up and take control
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!
Let the joy and Love’s rhythm rock your soul!

Turn It Up

I thought you were the solution
To the issues plaguing my world
I prayed you held the key 

Was I wrong, was I wrong
Now I'm drowning in the echoes  
Of promises left unheard 

I looked to you as the answer
I had no doubt it was fate
You were my saving grace

Was I wrong, was I wrong
Now I'm drowning in the echoes  
Of promises left unheard 

Was I so blind I could not see the truth or did you lie
Was it your deceit or was I blind
Maybe I just simply missed the signs

Was I wrong, was I wrong
Now I'm drowning in the echoes  
Of promises left unheard 

Music  

Was I wrong, was I wrong
Now I'm drowning in the echoes  
Of promises left unheard 

I thought you were the solution
To the issues plaguing my world
I prayed you held the key 

Was I so blind I could not see the truth or did you lie
Was it your deceit or was I blind
Maybe I just simply missed the signs

Was I wrong, was I wrong
Now I'm drowning in the echoes  
Of promises left unheard 
Of promises left unheard

Promises Left Unheard

I Want to Go
Where the Light shines so bright
I want to go to where you live.

I want to go
Where the people sing at night.
I want to go to where you live.
Where you live
Oh where You Live.

I want to go
Where I'll hold you hand at night
I want to go to where you live.

I want to go
Where I'll kiss you lips goodnight
I want to go to where you live.
Where you live
Oh where You Live.

And then we'll walk away
We'll hold our hands and plot our day
And then we'll know that love is real,
We'll live our lives like in a Movie Reel.

And then our time will come
And we'll walk that aisle and become one and
And then we'll spend our lives in love. 

We'll spend our life in places.
Holding hands and running races.
We'll find our place in life through love.

Music 

I want to go
Where I'll hold you hand at night
I want to go to where you live.

I want to go
Where I'll kiss you lips goodnight
I want to go to where you live.
Where you live
Oh where You Live.

Where You Live

Listen for the opening bell.
I was running like a bat out of hell.
I was running but I didn't know where to go.

Falling down a bottomless hole.
Feeling like I'm losing and I'm out of control.
Feeling like I'm hopeless and I'm wasting my time on De--ath Row.

Don't you kno-oww.  I'm wasting my time on Death Ro o- o- ow.

Time was standing still.
Falling down the mountain feeling over the hill.
I can't slow the tide or the over-flow.

The walls are closing fast.
My head is filled with nonsense, all my pain from my past.
Feeling like I'm hopeless and I'm wasting my time on De--ath Row.

Don't you kno-oww.  I'm wasting my time on Death Ro o- o- ow.

Once I was a young boy
And I thought I would grow into someone so strong ---
like a real Ivan-hoe  ---  That was so long ago ---
It was all just a dreammmm .........  -- My life was all just a dream.

Time was standing still.
Falling down the mountain feeling over the hill.
I can't slow the tide or the over-flow.

Falling down a bottomless hole.
Feeling like I'm losing and I'm out of control.
Feeling like I'm hopeless and I'm wasting my time on  De--ath Row.

Don't you kno-oww.   I'm wasting my time on Death Ro o- o- ow.

Death Row

I want to see you in the light
I want to be with you throughout the night
Come with me and see where we go
Come and teach me things I do not know

I love you more than words can say
You are my missing half my forever and a day
Can't you see that we were meant to be
Don't you know no one can love you more than me 

I was lost on a desolate path, the emptyness of my soul
I was wandering in the wilderness of my own mind.

That all changed when you reached out and touched my heart
Giving me a start, and letting me know that you were there
Your love enriched my life, you erased my despair 

Music

I want to see you in the light

Come and teach me things I do not know
Come and teach me all the things I do not know

Teach Me Things I Do Not Know

Tell me where we're going 
So I'll know where I have been.
The road is long and I can't find my way.

I've been aimless all this time
Until I saw your face.

And then I saw your light had shown
And I would never be alone.
Cause I have found your light And I'm not going away.
Yes the road was long and hard 
But now I'm out of harm's way.
Yes now I'm out of Harm's Way.

Time was never pleasant
And I never had a friend.
And I never thought that I would share a dream.

The wind was cold and the ground was hot.
And the rain felt like fire's hand.

And all I could do is run away.
And pray I'd see another day.
Cause I have found your light And I'm not going away.
Yes the road was long and hard but now I'm out of harm's way.
Yes now I'm out of Harm's Way.
 
Tell me where we're going
So I'll know where I have been.
The road is long and I can't find my way.

I've been aimless all this time
Until I saw your face.

And then I saw your light had shown,
And I would never be alone.
Cause I have found your light And I'm not going away.
Yes the road was long and hard but now I'm out of harm's way.
Yes now I'm out of Harm's Way.
Yeh now I'm out of harm's way

Out Of Harm's Way

When I open my eyes to a new day
My heart sings out for you
You're the first thing on my mind when I awake.

You're the sunshine that lights up my morning
My guarantee of another beautiful day

Your soul is such a precious gift
A gift you gave to me
Thank you for your unconditional love

Knowing you is something I will treasure
Until the day goes dark and I'm called away

And then I'll sing hallelujah
My cup of joy overflowed
I felt so blessed beyond measure
Cause I was happier than I deserved
Yes I was happier than I deserved

Music

Knowing you is something I will treasure
Until the day goes dark and I'm called away

And then I'll sing hallelujah
My cup of joy overflowed
I felt so blessed beyond measure
Cause I was happier than I deserved
Yes I was happier than I deserved

Your soul is such a precious gift
A gift you gave to me
Thank you for your unconditional love

Knowing you is something I will treasure
Until the day goes dark and I'm called away
Until the day goes dark and I'm called away

Happier Than I Deserve

For the rest of forever I will hold you in my heart.
For the rest of forever We'll never part.

For the rest of forever I'll be standing by your side.
For the rest of forever You'll be my bride.

Your love has found a way To lift my heart
Now I'm a King everyday Yes I'm  an ageless hero. 
Just like we watched on TV..

I use to walk alone Till I saw your face
And then my cover was blown
But your love let me know
My soul would always be free
Just like we're all meant to be   oho  oh

Music

For the rest of forever I will make this guarantee.
For the rest of forever You'll be with me.

For the rest of forever You will be my Passion Play.
For the rest of forever You're my sunny day.

For The Rest Of Forever

Here I go I'm a running
I don't know where I'll go
I just try to keep moving 
cause I know    I'll end up on Death-Row

I was young, I was foolish  
I was trying to make a name 
She was altogether perfect
so I fell   for her parlor game

I was such an easy mark I gave it away
Enchanted by her charm and mesmerized by her radiance
Eventually I broke free, to wander this world aimlessly
But before I left my justice had been served

Embararrassed by her deception
I flew into a rage 
Now all I have awaitin' me is a lonely
eight by eight foot cage

Music

Now all I have awaitin' me is a lonely

Yes a lonely     eight by eight foot cage

In The Void

Eight By Eight Foot Cage

Did you hear me
Did you hear me
Did you hear me

As I walked away into the night
And I screamed for you to do what's right

But you cursed and swore with venom in your eyes
And that was the pain-filled moment I saw through your lies

A dream, it seems, was all I knew
A world I built, just for me and you

But waking now, the silence screams
That I was lost in my empty dreams.

Did you hear me
Did you hear me
Did you hear me

As I stumbled lost into the gray 
And my heart broke screaming don't go away

For all I built was crumbling before my eyes 
And that was the pain-filled moment I saw through your lies

A dream, it seems, was all I knew
A world I built, just for me and you

But waking now, the silence screams
That I was lost in my empty dreams.
That I was lost in empty dreams.

Did you hear me
Did you hear me
Did you hear me

Did You Hear Me

I have been a witness to
A vision so grand and pure 
I'm still reeling from all that I have observed

A wonder unfolding
Right before my eyes
What a marvelous sight
What a marvelous sight

A wave of calm washed over me
Serenity I've never known until I met His gaze
That's the moment I saw the face of pure unconditional love
Melting all my fears away
Melting all my fears away - they just
Melt-ed a - way

A radiant, golden brillance
Illuminates my world
Vast open spaces filled with an ethereal glow

Crystal-clear waters
Reflecting pure healing light
Flowing into the rivers of life - I saw them 
Flowing into the rivers of life 

A wave of calm washed over me
Serenity I've never known until I met His gaze
That's the moment I saw the face of pure unconditional love
Melting all my fears away
Melting all my fears away - they just
Melt-ed a - way

Melting All My Fears Away

One day, I was all alone,
Working on plans to leave my home
Wondering why I had to roam, but I can not lie

Life was never easy then.
Wishing it was over before I was ten.
Scared that I'll be born again, but I can not lie

The things I saw made me cry
Feelings so intense I wanted to die

I tried to speak, but no one heard
Burying my voice under every word
Held it in, until thunder stirred, but I can not lie

I learned to smile through every ache,
Finding strength though it was fake
Prayed my soul would never break, but I can not lie

The silence cut my heart like a knife
But somehow I continued choosing life, choosing life

But I held on even through the storm,
Even when the light felt too far gone

With every tear I came alive—
No more hiding, no disguise
Truth became my battle cry

So I rise, so I rise, I'm choosing life
So I rise, so I rise, I'm choosing life

Time went slow but I was strong,
Fought thru silence, proved them wrong
Still I break, but I belong, and I can not lie

Cause I held on even through the storm
Even when the light felt too far gone

With every tear I came alive—
No more hiding, no disguise
Truth became my battle cry

So I rise, so I rise, I'm choosing life
So I rise, so I rise, I'm choosing life
So I rise, so I rise, I'm choosing life

I'm Choosing Life

World Is All Ablaze

Stand and fight
For a chance to see the light
Never give up hope for a better day

When the darkness comes from within
Turn it into a never-have-been 

Embrace the struggle and find your way to the light

I know the secrets you have found
But never lose your faith in a better day

The truth will lead you home
Let your spirit shine, you'll never be alone

Never give up hope for a better day

Music   

When the darkness comes from within
Turn it into a never-have-been 

Embrace the struggle and find your way to the light

Seek the light
Never close your eyes to what's right
The more you recover the more things will go your way

When you allow your happiness in
It lets your heart mend and your healing begin 

Embrace the struggle and find your way to the light

I know the secrets you have found
But never lose your faith in a better day

The truth will lead you home
Let your spirit shine, you'll never be alone

Never give up hope for a better day

Stand and fight
For a chance to see the light
Never give up hope for a better day

When the darkness comes from within
Turn it into a never-have-been 

Embrace the struggle and find your way to the light
Embrace the struggle and find your way to the light

Find Your Way To The Light

Well I checked into my room it was a quarter to nine.
I had a few drinks so I was feeling fine.
And all I wanted to do was to party down.

Well I had to pretty up so I could see the town.
I'm in the Crescent City so I'm counting down.
And then I saw the sign up on the wall

Woe fill your glass then tilt your head, then pass a good time.
Woe fill your glass then tilt your head then pass a good time
Woe pass a good time
Woe pass a good time

Well I don't remember much cause I was liven a dream.
I was yelling "Who Dat" with my new friend Jim Beam.
And time was standing still while we partied down.

There was music in the air and I could smell the booze.
The floor was rolling thunder, singing rhythm and blues.
And then I saw the sign up on the wall.

Woe fill your glass then tilt your head, then pass a good time.
Woe fill your glass then tilt your head then pass a good time
Woe pass a good time
Woe pass a good time

There was music in the air and I could smell the booze.
The floor was rolling thunder, singing rhythm and blues.
And then I saw the sign up on the wall.

Woe fill your glass then tilt your head, then pass a good time.
Woe fill your glass then tilt your head then pass a good time
Woe pass a good time
Woe pass a good time 

Yeah pass a good time
Pass a good time
Pass a good time

Repete 5 Times

Yeah pass a good time
Pass a good time
Pass a good time

Pass A Good Time

How do we react when we feel the world is crumbling around us?
