You Gotta Leave the Blues Behind
Verse 1:
Daddy needs a job - He's about to give up tryin'
There's money's on the street - If you're not afraid of dyin'
Momma's in the kitchen - I hear her cry at night
Fear's her only friend- It just don't seem right
Chorus:
Sometimes it's hard to leave the blues behind
Verse 2:
Brother's gone to war - It's his ticket out
But who's he fighting for - A future full of doubt
Chorus:
Sometimes you can't leave the blues behind
Bridge:
You better have a dream - But dreams can be so cruel
When love is the key - The truth can set you free
Verse 3:
Now is the time - To reach deep inside
And find our common ground - And put away our foolish pride
So justice can roll like water -And truth becomes a mighty stream
Then our world can change - To let our freedom ring

I want you
I want you...to let me....
Live my life....and be free.....
Every day of OUR lives that goes by....We hold the key....
I want you...to give me....
The right to live....and be free.....
Every day of OUR lives that goes by....We hold the key....
WELL - Everything inside me....makes me wonder why...
WHEN - Everything I’m seeing makes me wanna cry...
CAUSE - Everything I’ve learned about love.....
Makes me wanna stand - Makes me wanna stand and fight
I want you...to need me....
To take a stand....and be free.....
Every day of OUR lives that goes by....We hold the key....

What In The World Were We Thinking
What in the world were we thingin'...?
What in the world we gonna do now...?
Some people need a hand up,
Others need to stand up...
What are you gonna do...?
What in the world were we dreamin'...?
What did we think it - would come down to...?
Some people gotta get up,
Others need to wake up...
While there's somethin' to do...
What in the world...
What in the world...
What in the world were we feelin'...?
Tell me what did you assume...?
You think we're gonna be ok...
Live another day...
What in the world...
What in the WORLD...
BRIDGE:
You don't have to look too far - to see the pain...
Step outside your door - it falls round you, like rain...
You'd have to close your eyes - not to see...
People everywhere, still longing to be free...
The day has come, for us to see...
That the answer lies, lies with you and me....
LEAD ( 1 verse )
What in the world...
What in the WORLD...
What in the world...
What are we gonna do...ohhhh...
What in the WORLD...
What in the world...
Ouuu....what are we gonna do...oh...

Carry The Light
People say - let the music set you free...
I wanna know - just how that's gonna be.
So many things - that fill our minds...
So why's the past - so hard to leave behind.
---
Somewhere inside there's a song to be sung.
You gotta let it out, just to help someone.
If there's a wrong, we gotta make it right.
Let the music...carry the light.
---
The day will come when we treat each other right.
But it may not get here without some kinda fight.
I'm not talkin' bout fists, I'm not talkin' bout guns or war.
I'm talking bout love, that's what we came here for.
---
Chorus / LEAD / Chorus
---
The day that we find peace, is the day we get along.
It's working together, that makes us all so strong.
I wouldn’t ask, anything I wouldn't do.
I know that we can make it, if we pull each other through.

Angela’s Song
It’s a long long road - We’re travelin on....
Driven through the night - waiting for the dawn.
We all gotta have a dream - If we’re gonna carry on
---------
It’s a long long way - from here to there....
But I know I’m gonna make it - thanks to those who care.
We all gotta have a dream - If we’re gonna carry on.
----------
Some dreams become real, but between you and I...
The ones that really matter - are the ones that never die...
If we’re gonna move a mountian, we better take somebody’s hand...
Cause when I’m weak youre strong - and together we can stand.
----------
It’s a long hard road - it’s been worth every mile....
Cause change it don’t come easy - when you’re learning how to smile.
We all gotta have a dream - If we’re gonna carry on.

Jericho Road
On a Jericho Road - I lost my way
Far from home - on a desert highway...
In the valley Jordan - I fell among those theives
They tore my close and beat a stone cold me.....
On a Jericho Road - I walk alone
It twists and turns - On a wild sharp stone...
I am a stranger - in a strange cold land
The road is dark - tied are my hands...
And I don’t know - when I’ll be coming back home....
And I’m lost and I’m cold on the Jericho Road...
On a Jericho Road - I am a ghost
The road turns sharp - where I lost the most...
In the valley Jordan - They cut on me
Buried in the sand - my sould aint free
And I don’t know - when I’ll be coming back home....
And I’m lost and I’m cold on the Jericho Road...

Run Like Hell
Building Bridges across rivers deep and wide.
We might need a telescope to see the other side.
We all know, that something must be done.
The future is fading fast, just like a setting sun....
---
We can hear a distant sound, like the ringing of a bell.
We better do something fast or RUN LIKE HELL!!!
---
War here, war there, there's war everywhere.
A leader lies, someone dies, but do they really care?
Could we face the truth, if truth were even there?
Who's gonna tell our children, the future isn't their's...
---
We can hear a distant sound, like the ringing of a bell.
We better do something fast or RUN LIKE HELL!!!
---
LEAD / Breakdown.
---
Now don't get me wrong, the ending isn't clear.
Many chapters of this book have all been filled with fear.
I can hear the pages turn, it's the chance we've waited for.
We're ALL in this together, and we've seen it - ALL before.
---
As we wake up in the morning, to face another day.
Wishin' for blues skies and all we get is grey.
We try to keep our hope alive, no matter what they say.
It's time that we get busy and do something more than pray!!!
---
We can hear a distant sound, like the ringing of a bell.
We better do something fast or RUN LIKE HELL!!!

LEAD....

When all is said and done
When all is said and done- I don’t wanna be the one.
Who looks back on - the things I should have done...
To think about my life - and the dreams that could’ve been.
If only I knew now - what I knew then...
And I Know - And I feel...
Something’s wrong - and we can’t heal...
Will I find my way - or will I run...
When all is said and done...
When all is said and done - and we all have to leave.
Will my soul be bound - or free...
So many people - think they know what’s true.
But with all our fears - so little love sgines through...
And I Know - And I feel...
Something’s wrong - and we can’t heal...
Will WE find OUR way - or will WE run...
When all is said and done...

No More Lies
People on the way - we all got something to say...
We're all willing to try -
cause we're lookin' for a better way....
NO more lies - Lets stop the cries -
Save our sons and daughters -
It's time to realize (3x)
People on the street - everyone you meet...
They're lookin' you in the eyes -
what promises will you keep -
NO more lies - Lets stop the cries -
Save our sons and daughters -
It's time to realize (3x)
Now when you're home alone -
and you're watchin' your tv -
The world keeps flashin' by -
tell me what is it you see -
If you're looking for escape -
it's your mind they wanna rape -
They'll sell you their hate -
please tell me it's not too late -
NO more lies - Lets stop the cries -
Save our sons and daughters -
It's time to realize (3x)...DO THEY REALLY GOTTA DIE

Lookin’ For A Fight
Sittin' at the table - I see you move your lips.
I hear what you're sayin' - somehow it just don't fit.
I don't mean to criticize, I'm just trying to understand.
What is it that you see, that makes you take that stand.
Now do you care what's wrong or right...or are we lookin' for a fight.
---
When you get together - where ever it is you meet.
To talk about important things - all those things you wanna keep.
I don't mean to criticize, I'm just trying to understand.
What is it that you see, that makes you take that stand.
Now do you care what's wrong or right...or are we lookin' for a fight.
---
LEAD
---
In a different time - or in a different place.
Under different circumstances, we might have run a different race.
I don't mean to criticize, I'm just trying to understand.
What is it that you see, that makes you take that stand.
Now do you care what's wrong or right...or are we lookin' for a fight.

Time For A Change
It's time - for CHANGE...
To BELIEVE in a world of HOPE - today
SEE now - LOOK beyond
It's in you - so begin to FIND your way
There's time for a change
While time still remains
Time for a change
Or time to explain
SPEAK OUT, raise your voice
And BEGIN to hear the MUSIC you make
The PRIZE - it’s your
The HOPE for a future world - without war
There's time for a change
While time still remains
Time for a change
Or time to explain
