Something there is deep inside us 
Beckons us to Love
 A spirit gentle & bounding
One night in the moonlight’s thrall 
Ten eternities worshipful 
By Fury’s counting
War in the morning 
& songs by the evening fire 
Compatriots drinking, adoring
Declared love ye who’ve shared blood in arms
 This is not your King’s due devotion
 No, nothing so boring
She hies to the Wood & its unknowable powers 
His face in the firelight, hours upon hours
 Is he just an animal the colour of flowers? 
History, see how Fury cowers!

2

Something there is deep inside us 
Beckons us to Madness 
A Figure crooked & hoary
Upright & condign to the sins 
Of these litterbug tribes 
& talent trebled, that was Fury
But now how would the King feel? 
What might the lover reveal? 
This un-goated Faun finds appalling
Our sunlight, our once-bright star 
Charming, confident, & kind 
Our fairy archer, our darling
Stumbling round some high wasteland 
Furs matted down by tears of the damned
 By the soot of the fire, by the blood of the Lamb
 Crying out: “Fury I nothing am.”

3

Something there is deep inside us 
Beckons us to Death 
For Whom we spend our lives rehearsing
However we imagine we exist 
By our own wits, no:
 It is only by His mercy
Slain in the schoolyard 
Decaying on some battlefield 
Grant some great reward to the deserving
In this shortened form
Horns shorn, more & more
 I abhor this grand illusion
 They imagine worth preserving
Atoms of betrayal alive in our lungs
 Horrible most of us, just miserable some
 “This is my dog, that’s my place in the sun...” 
What Fury is, why fear we to become?

4

Something there is deep inside us 
Beckons us to Song 
In a chamber like a heart’s, but larger
& to find a heart, tiny in all that darkness 
Takes unmatchable aim 
It takes a genius, it takes an Archer  
Exhume the villages! 
All the artists & arsonists
 Sworn in their boredom in the dark
We all sing now together as ghosts 
& only in the Song
 Do we remember who we are
Failing to fetch Her at first, carry on 
She stops & waits for you in the great beyond 
Just four things to each can e’er truly belong: 
Love, Madness, Death, & Song.

VERSE 1:
TOPS DOWN, TANK IS FULL, I’M HEADIN’ OUTTA HERE
MY ROUTES AREN’T ON AN APP BUT THEY ENDURE
THE ONLY GUIDES I NEED ARE MY HEART AND SOUL
I’VE LEARNED HOW TO EMBRACE DETOURS

CHORUS:
MOVE ON, YOU CAN’T SHAPE MY DREAMS
I’M NOT WAITIN’ AROUND FOR STARS TO ALIGN
DON ’T TRY TO FIND ME ON YOUR OLD MAP
JOY IS MY PATH, NO WORRIES ‘BOUT A FINISH SIGN

VERSE 2:
I KNOW MY WAY AROUND THE TOLLS AND TROLLS
I’M GONNA FLY, GONNA CHASE THOSE DREAMS
DON’T THINK ABOUT TRYING TO CLIP MY WINGS
GO FIND A FOOL TO SHARE YOUR SCHEMES

REPEAT CHORUS

You Can't Shape My Dreams

Lyric: Kevin Reardon & Bobby Joe Peace; Music: Kevin Reardon 

Verse  
Yesterday I drove the gravel road to the house where I was raised  
We moved away when I was twelve but I never forgot that place
Growing up we didn’t have much but our house was full of love
My folks both had to work and they made sure we had enough
It wasn’t much to look at with a creaky old front porch
But to us it was our castle, never needed nothing more  
We took care of each other, stood tall with what we owned 
So, I bought it and I’m moving back and I’m proud to call it home
I’m proud to call it home 

Verse 
Then I got back in my truck, drove down the old main street 
Some storefront names have changed and there’s a brand-new factory
My old town went through tough times, jobs up and went away
But folks were just mule stubborn, wouldn’t give up on this place
From ashes, rust and dust, they brought it back to life
But some things there were lost, progress claims its price 
Now I live here once again, gonna give back what I owe
We’re building our town’s tomorrow and I’m proud to call it home 
I’m proud to call it home

Bridge
I travel for my job all across this big ol’ land 
Meet people of every race and creed, doing all they can
I see towns like mine renewed with self-less sacrifice 
A time to every purpose, folks doing what is right
 
Verse 
So, when I hear some people saying there’s something wrong with the USA
I don’t see that we have lost our edge or that we’ve lost our way 
I can’t deny there’s work to do, we all got to play our part
But I know we’ll pull together from the strength within our hearts
Whether city, town, ranch or farm, no better place on earth  
With the freedom to believe and our belief that freedom works 
So, I’ll shout it from the rooftops, let the whole world know
Our USA is here to stay and I’m proud to call it home
Yeah, I’m proud to call it home 

Outro
It’s great to live in the USA
Great to live in the USA, great to live in the USA and I’m proud to call it home
It’s great to live in the USA
Great to live in the USA, great to live in the USA and I’m proud to call it home

Proud To Call It Home

FIXING CARS
by Tawna Goforth, Hal ODell

V1-
I CAN STILL HEAR HIM SAY, "PUNKIN’, PASS ME THAT THREE EIGHTHS
AND SCOOT THAT LIGHT, A LITTLE RIGHT"
STANDING TIPTOE TALL, BLONDE BRAIDS AND OVERALLS
I’D LEAN BENEATH THE HOOD, TRYING TO GET A BETTER LOOK
FOR A KID IT’S TOUGH TO PAY ATTENTION
HE’D SAY LISTEN 

CH-
IT MIGHT GET A LITTLE GREASY
MIGHT BEND BUT IT WON’T BREAK
WHEN THINGS GET HARD THE WAY THEY DO
YOU DON’T JUST WALK AWAY

IT MIGHT START A LITTLE RUSTY
BUT IT’LL SHINE LIKE THE STARS
NOW I SEE WHAT HE KNEW ALL ALONG
WE WEREN’T JUST FIXING CARS

V2.
GREW UP AND I MOVED ON, CHASING DREAMS SONG BY SONG
A LITTLE OLDER A LITTLE WISER, HANGING ONTO THOSE REMINDERS
COME ON GIRL, FINISH WHAT YOU START 
HIS (LIFE) LESSONS WRITTEN ON MY HEART

CH-

LAST CH- 
YOU MIGHT GET A LITTLE GREASY
MIGHT BEND BUT YOU WON’T BREAK
WHEN THINGS GET HARD THE WAY THEY DO
YOU DON’T JUST WALK AWAY

IT MIGHT START A LITTLE RUSTY
BUT IT’LL SHINE LIKE THE STARS
TO THINK IT ALL BEGAN IN THAT GARAGE
NOW I SEE WHAT HE KNEW ALL ALONG
WE WEREN’T JUST FIXING CARS

God Sent

You Are Free
© September 2001 – Raji Abuzalaf – for the victims of 9-11
**Featuring Alan Miyamura on Tin Whistle**

You didn’t have a chance
Stolen from your hands
By the stroke of evil deeds
There was no warning sign
Struck down from behind
By your wounds, the nation bleeds

And you will never be forgotten
You will always live in our memory
Never is your innocence forsaken
‘Cause when you left this earth, you were free
You were free
You are free

Oh, how unjust it seems
Denied your future dreams
By man’s foolish pride and shame
Your heritage depends
On family and friends
We’ll remember you by name

And you will never be forgotten
You will always live in our memory
Never is your innocence forsaken
‘Cause when you left this earth, you were free
You were free
You are free

We mourn the pain of 9-11
We never got the chance to say, “Farewell”
Your ashes fill the skies of heaven
And your assassins face their fates in hell

And now we search the dawn
For reasons to go on
We will find them and survive
For truth and freedom ring
When God is on our wing
And our hearts remain alive

You will never be forgotten
You will always live in our memory
Never is your innocence forsaken
‘Cause when you left this earth, you were free
You were free
You are free

You are free as an American…

You Are Free
