I Am What I Am When I Wake Up

What we are is the resistance

Ain’t nobody gonna keep us down

Holdin’ tight to what we believe in

Never will we be forced underground

Come on over, move on over

We can live together we can stay afloat

Oh my lord why are we fighting

We all get to heaven in the same big boat

If you don’t stand for nothin’ then you’ll fall for anything

And let me tell ya it’s a long way down

I am what I am when I wake up with out warning

Waiting for the changes to turn me around

Come on over, move on over

We can live together we can stay afloat

Oh my lord why are we fighting

We all get to heaven in the same big boat

Don’t ever forget that your not alone

Don’t you ever forget that your not alone

Don’t you ever forget that your not alone

Can’t we stop resisting one another

Why won’t nobody let their guard on down

If we could bear in mind were just sisters and brothers

From here on in we’d all be glory bound

Come on over, move on over

We can live together we can stay afloat

Oh my lord why are we fighting

We all get to heaven in the same big boat

We all get to heaven in the same big boat

We all get to heaven in the same big boat

We Shall Be Together

Well the sun it also rises though I sometimes do forget

I work so hard at holdin’ on that I slip away instead

How I wish I’d been a painter then

I would have pained your portrait twice

One sprawled out on the canvas and the other in my mind

And we shall be together once again I do believe

Sometimes the things you love just up and leave

Sometimes the things you love just up and leave

I stumble through the pages of my heroes set in ink

And I’m thinking tonight of Cool Hand Luke and R.P. McMurphy

How I wish I’d been beside them then

I would’ve went down with a smile and a fight

Though the body can be broken the soul will never die

And we shall be together once again I do believe

Sometimes the things you love just up and leave

Sometimes the things you love just up and leave

Cause when the heights you reach for are a million miles away

Then all you got to work with is today

Well the sun it also rises though I sometimes do forget

I work so hard at holdin’ on that I slip away instead

How I wish I’d been a singer then

I would’ve sung to you something nice

Amazing Grace or Simple Gifts, Beautiful Dreamer or Auld Lang Syne

And we shall be together once again I do believe

Sometimes the things you love just up and leave

Sometimes the things you love just up and leave

Fightin’ To Get By

I try and make the positive out weigh the negative

It starts from the bottom, from the bottom where it starts

As we move up the food chain burn all your sweaters

Go turn down the heat cause we’re in for warmer weather

Shift further inland start a band and sing about any injustice you can

And everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

Yea everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

With any kinda freedom comes responsibility

It starts from the bottom, from the bottom where it starts

As we come towards the dead line we make time to waist time

Go break down the hate, organize, reorganize

Elope try and spread hope, follow no ones calling but your own

And everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

Yea everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

Every single action has some sorta consequence

It starts from the bottom, from the bottom where it starts

As we pass by this milestone silence your cell phones

Go melt down the ashtrays , get ready for a big change

Conserve, question what you heard don’t fall victim to the propaganda

And everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

Yea everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

I try and make positive out weigh the negative

It starts from the bottom, from the bottoms where it starts

As we move up the food chain burn all your sweaters

Go turn down the heat cause were in for warmer weather

Shift further inland start a band and sing about any injustice you can

And everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

Yea everyone’s fighting to get by, fighting to get by, fighting to get by

I Will Sing To You

Up in the morning and I can see your dreaming

I listen to you breathing and it takes my breath away

Well nobody knows what’s coming on tomorrow

But I will sing to you everyday

Yea I will sing to you louder and stronger

Oh I will sing to you softy and sweet

And if the sun don’t shine well its just the same

We can go dance out in the rain

And I will sing to you everyday

Beneath the glow, beneath the gloom

I’ll raise my voice like angels do

And I will sing to you everyday

Down in the evening and I can see your wilting

I listen to you speaking and it makes me wanna say

That nobody knows what’s coming on tomorrow

But I will sing to you everyday

Yea I will sing to you louder and stronger

Oh I will sing to you softy and sweet

And if the sun don’t shine well its just the same

We can go dance out in the rain

And I will sing to you everyday

Falling Astray

I believe, I believe, and I wanna believe

In the power of hope all the seen and unseen

But my minds been doing me harm and the world is coming on strong

Won’t ya please help me cause I’m falling

Please, please, help me cause I’m falling

Won’t ya please help me cause I’m falling

Falling astray tonight, Falling astray tonight

Like the trees, like the trees that are lining the road

I’m affected by every breeze that blows

Were born we live and we die

But what’s on the other two sides

Won’t ya please help me cause I’m falling

Please, please, help me cause I’m falling

Won’t ya please help me cause I’m falling

Falling astray tonight, Falling astray tonight 

I lay awake, question my faith

And watch the stars burn out with grace

There’s a place, there’s a place that I’m longing to be

Although most of the time I get caught between

The want the need and the must

And I end up just kicking up dust

Won’t ya please help me cause I’m falling

Please, please, help me cause I’m falling

Won’t ya please help me cause I’m falling

Falling astray tonight, Falling astray tonight

I believe, I believe, and I wanna believe

In the power of hope all the seen and unseen

But my minds been doing me harm and the world is coming on strong

One Of These Days

There were awful things happening here

Before we were even twinkles in our parents, parents, parents eyes

And way on back further then that

I can’t imagine we were doomed from the very first breath, well…

All I can sing about is what I see

So if it gets you mad don’t take it out on me

I’m just another soldier underneath this great big sky alone

But one of these days I’m gonna feel at home

One of these days I’m gonna feel at home

There’s been potential in every human being

Since we learned to walk up straight and started thinking logically

Now’s not the time to throw it all away, it’s our dear future that’s at stake

Tell me doesn’t that mean anything, well…

All I can sing about is what I see

So if it gets you mad don’t take it out on me

I’m just another soldier underneath this great big sky alone

But one of these days I’m gonna feel at home

One of these days I’m gonna feel at home

Whatever has been done can be undone again

Keep this in mind as we proceed to forge ahead

There will always be room enough for change that’s the nature of the game

And the rolling stone still gathers no moss

Over time we get, cut down to size but some how we do survive

To embrace the light of better days, well.

All I can sing about is what I see

So if it gets you mad don’t take it out on me

I’m just another soldier underneath this great big sky alone

But one of these days I’m gonna feel at home

One of these days I’m gonna feel at home

Don’t

I was standing on the corner and the wind was blowing

Watching people rushing by, rushing by don’t cha know it

And I felt the rattle, I felt the shake

Like the world was trembling from a big earthquake

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

Well there’s so much to do in way too little time

And no one wants to feel they’re being compromised

When you think your lost stop being afraid

I’ve still yet to meet a soul that couldn’t a been saved

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

If we could live just like we dream we’d all be satisfied

So open up and let it out get going cause now’s the time

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

One more Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall

Another three hundred sixty five days unfold

As we make our way from the cradle to the grave

Never leave for tomorrow what can be done today

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now,

Don’t hurt yourself, don’t, don’t

One life that you’re given don’t waste it now, waste it now

Don’t hurt yourself, hurt your self don’t, don’t

Don’t, don’t, don, don, da, da, da, da, da

Don’t, don’t, don, don, da, da, da, da, da

Don’t, don’t, don, don, da, da, da, da, da, don’t, don’t

Since You Went Away

Remember the times, well so do I

And if love could have kept you alive

Then we’d never had to say goodbye

Now you’ll live on in all of us, yea you’ll live on

But there’s an emptiness I know I’ll never fill

Like the spot at the center of my heart that’s breaking still

Since you went away nothings been the same

But forever come what may I will carry you

Since you went away nothings been the same

But forever come what may I will carry you

I miss you more each passing breath

And it pains me so to have to know

That you ain’t ever coming back

Now you’ll live on in all of us, yea you’ll live on

But there’s an emptiness I know I’ll never fill

Like the spot at the center of my heart that’s breaking still

Since you went away nothings been the same

But forever come what may I will carry you

Since you went away nothings been the same

But forever come what may I will carry you

While life goes on for all of us, its rearranging

Each individual a victim of the changing

Every man must meet his end

But not every man can it be said

Could leave the kind of mark you did

Now you’ll live on in all of us, yea you’ll live on

But there’s an emptiness I know I’ll never fill

Like the spot at the center of my heart that’s breaking still

Since you went away nothings been the same

But forever come what may I will carry you

Since you went away nothings been the same

But forever come what may I will carry you

Remember the times, well so do I

Start Spreadin’ The Wealth

It’s all a work in progress ya see

I’m apart of everyone who’s come in contact with me

And I’m a little good and a little bad

With the stars in my eyes and a monkey on my back

I got a fine poker face with a terrible hand

And a spot in my heart for all the places I been

But never again, will time unfold the same

Way it has been, there’s no starting over so

Take what you have and share it with somebody else

Start spreadin’ the wealth

Well I’m telling you I got them walking blues

I been out there so long I worn out my shoes

And I got Mason blood and a Gypsy soul

With a steady mind and a fire in my bones

I got front row seats to this crummy show

And a spot I can stop at the end of the road

But never again, will time unfold the same

Way it has been, there’s no starting over so

Take what you have and share it with somebody else

Start spreadin’ the wealth

You can back a track as far as you want to find

But there’s no evading when the gears start to grind on rewind

There ain’t no shame in trying

Though I go all day still at night I can’t sleep

I’ve set new world records for most counted sheep

And I’m a hangin’ in though I’m falling down

Cause I don’t feel myself less I’m moving around

I got my eyes on the sky and my feet on the ground

And a beautiful tune that I’m ready to sound

But never again, will time unfold the same

Way it has been, there’s no starting over so

Take what you have and share it with somebody else

Start spreadin’ the wealth

All About Love

I don’t want to be anywhere you aren’t

Please don’t further question me I’ve been being honest

It’s all about love, all about love

It’s all about love, all about love

Rollin’ down the interstate passin’ fields and cities

Lord knows that you can’t escape once your waist deep in it

It’s all about love, all about love

It’s all about love, all about love

Toss your trouble straight away you need never worry

Any way you cut it hey still the same old story

It’s all about love, all about love

It’s all about love, all about love

And peace to you I wish happiness I wish

Best and all the rest I hope it finds you

I don’t want to be anywhere you aren’t

Please don’t further question me I’ve been being honest

It’s all about love, all about love

It’s all about love, all about love

This Years Troubles

I went down to Washington

I saw President Lincoln’s blood

I walked around the monuments

I stood out side the white house fence

I traveled there on my own accord

I needed my faith to be restored

Oh ya gotta move on forward

Don’t get yourself all caught up in the mess

Oh ya gotta move on forward

This years troubles soon too will pass

This years troubles soon too will pass

Everybody wants a piece of the pie

But no one wants to take a smaller slice

Still somewhere down the road I swear

That sooner or later we will get there

I hear the rich and I hear the poor

Singin’ “hard times come again no more”

Oh ya gotta move on forward

Don’t get yourself all caught up in the mess

Oh ya gotta move on forward

This years troubles soon too will pass

This years troubles soon too will pass

When I got back home to New York

I paced my floors over back and forth

Just thinking bout the way things used to be

looking toward the future on bended knee

I stayed up just to greet the sun

Reading “Leaves Of Grass” by Walt Whitman

Oh ya gotta move on forward

Don’t get yourself all caught up in the mess

Oh ya gotta move on forward

This years troubles soon too will pass

This years troubles soon too will pass

Hard Times Of Need

On the dead end street where we used to meet

Will you sit with me in hard times of need

If you’re tired and cold and the wheels won’t roll

Come and sooth your soul in hard times of need

We’re all changing; I know it’s true

Everything’s changing there’s nothing we can do

Times an endless thread that were tangled in

Will you hold me again in hard times of need

If your restless now and your faith run out

I will track you down in hard times of need

We’re all changing; I know it’s true

Everything’s changing there’s nothing we can do

Though the world is cursed it could be much worse

We could mend this hurt in hard times of need

Should the sun burnout and the moon fall down

I will stick around in hard times of need

Still Alright

Aren’t you my friend he said it’s all relative to the way it’s turning

Out my window I can’t catch you if ya falling I will let you

Down a hallway to my doorway open lightly slamming tightly

Round the edges warn brick ledges everyone must work it out sometimes

Still alright beside you on the run

Like the creeping trigger on your gun you shot me down

I know so well wish I didn’t know so well

But you are wilting I am growing sun is shining on all knowing

Still alright beside you on the run still alright beside you on the run

Hello again he said its all tentative on the curve ball we are

Thrown like arrows hatched like sparrows placed like pharaohs

Preserved in their tombs below us never know us

Try and slow us we weren’t built to stop the age’s

Dog-eared pages every one must work it off sometimes

Still alright beside you on the run

Like the creeping trigger on your gun you shot me down

I know so well wish I didn’t know so well

But you are wilting I am growing sun is shining on all knowing

Still alright beside you on the run still alright beside you on the run

Like the creeping trigger on the run still alright beside you on the run

Restoration Lullaby

I passed myself in a mirror I said hey there what is wrong

I muttered back aww nothin’ tucked my worries into song

I’d like to go to Coney shave my head collect my thoughts

Sit on by the water out near Woody and the rocks

Where I can sing myself to sleep, and I can sleep beneath the stars

Wherever you roam’s where you belong

Wherever you roam’s where you belong

I patched my empty places with anything that fit

I did it so to bail myself from fate of sinking ship

I’d like to go to Coney shave my head collect my thoughts

Sit on by the water out near Woody and the rocks

Where I can sing myself to sleep, and I can sleep beneath the stars

Wherever you roam’s where you belong

Wherever you roam’s where you belong

This is my sanity song

My small attempt at brushing all the worries from my eyes

My restoration lullaby

I hear the world a calling and I will not let her down

Ain’t got no destination but there’s one thing I have found

I’d like to go to Coney shave my head collect my thoughts

Sit on by the water out near Woody and the rocks

Where I can sing myself to sleep, and I can sleep beneath the stars

Wherever you roam’s where you belong

Wherever you roam’s where you belong

Keepsake

Well my soul was in the back seat bleedin’ while I went drifting in my car

And I was staring at my left hand tracing that frying pan shaped scar

And I was thinking back to Candice and the two words that she’d wrote

That read “I Love” end of quotes

All this land I pass is vast at last I can’t help feeling free

But pay good mind to each goodbye there ain’t no guarantees

Cause I was thinkin’ bout my Granddad on the day that he died

Sitting in a back yard by myself watchin’ birds cut through the sky

Yea I was deeply connected with the cosmos for while

Stackin’ my memories up into neat little piles

But it ain’t what you gather but what you keep

It ain’t what you’re given but what you carry

No it ain’t what you gather but what you keep

It ain’t what you’re given but what you carry

Well I was thinking bout Baltimore, DC and Richmond

Charleston, Savanna, Cocoa Beach and Melbourne

Tallahassee, Birmingham, Memphis and Little Rock

Okemah, OK City, Dallas and Fort Worth

Austin, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Flagstaff

Williams, The Grand Cannon and Las Vegas

San Diego, Los Angeles and Santa Cruz

San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Kimball

Iowa City, Chicago and Youngstown

All the way back to where I’m singin’ now

Cause it ain’t what you gather but what you keep

It ain’t what you’re given but what you carry

No it ain’t what you gather but what you keep

It ain’t what you’re given but what you carry

I went 10 thousand miles it took me 55 days

I met all kinds of folks covering 26 states

And I was thinking back to Mary and the words that she’d sung

“I’m gonna look at myself though the eyes of someone”

All this land I pass is vast at last I can’t help feeling free

But pay good mind to each goodbye there ain’t no guarantees

Cause I was thinkin’ bout my country and the places I’d been

Staring out my window up into the heavens

Yea I was deeply connected with the cosmos for while

Stackin’ my memories up into neat little piles

Cause it ain’t what you gather but what you keep

It ain’t what you’re given but what you carry

No it ain’t what you gather but what you keep

It ain’t what you’re given but what you carry

Passin’ Time

When the weight of the world is boggin’ you down

And all the tired taxies are hangin’ around

Can I say that I loved you before I skip town, that I loved you

There’s a crack in the moon and my head is on fire

The pigeons are watching from telephone wires

Can I say that I loved you before I get tired, that I loved you

It’s easy to close my eyes it’s easy to close my eyes

It’s easy to close my eyes on passin’ time

I’ve read all the papers and studied the plays

Watched all the people I’ve been here all day

Can I say that I loved you and then slip away, that I loved you

It’s under the cinder that there lies the singe

Stitched in the lining and written in pen

Can I say that I loved you again and again, that I loved you

Never planned to stay forever never did I fake a smile

Here I sit if you should want me, I’ll be here a little while

It’s easy to close my eyes it’s easy to close my eyes

It’s easy to close my eyes on passin’ time

Well now I lay sleepin’ and you I’m without

My pillows are chilly and my blankets are loud

Can I say that I loved you before I brake down

That I loved you, that I loved you, that I loved you, that I loved you

You Are With Me

I pick my fights so carefully

I set my mind accordingly I know it’s hard what isn’t

And I try my best to make it last

But every time it goes so fast aww what doesn’t

I can’t do nothing bout the dark

I’m brave enough to hold a match but not enough to make it spark

I can’t do nothing bout the dark

Sky above me world around me you are with me you are with me

Sky above me world around me you are with me you are with me

I camped beside a cemetery next to the people that were buried

I’m pretty tired who isn’t

Ten paces from a mausoleum I fell asleep I did not dream

I need the rest who doesn’t

I can’t do nothing bout the dark

I’m brave enough to hold a match but not enough to make it spark

I can’t do nothing bout the dark

Sky above me world around me you are with me you are with me

Sky above me world around me you are with me you are with me

A dozen dollars in my suitcase a dozen daisies in the road

A dozen badly written reasons you should know

I speak to no one normally each jagged dagger slices me

I know it’s odd what isn’t

And I thought that I could fix my luck but everything keeps pilin’ up

Aww what doesn’t

I can’t do nothing bout the dark

I’m brave enough to hold a match but not enough to make it spark

I can’t do nothing bout the dark

Sky above me world around me you are with me you are with me

Sky above me world around me you are with me

You are with me you are with me

They Wont Take Me

I was dreamin’ last night at the back of the tent

Bout the get up and go so when I got up I went

Keepin’ count of my steps on the cusp of a new day arisin’

I remembered the war I remembered the peace

Remembered the famine remembered the feast

Clickin’ my heels to the beat in the mouth of a lion

But if I hear them after me I’ll climb right up the highest tree

And carve my thoughts so quietly

They won’t take me they won’t take me no no no

I was testing the wind at the top of a hill

When a bird pierced cloud let a raindrop spill

Slippin’ away while the mound was becomin’ an island

I remembered the drought I remembered the flood

Remembered the sweat I remembered the blood

Leapin’ to life like a spark from the edge of a fire

But if I hear them after me I’ll climb right up the highest tree

And carve my thoughts so quietly

They won’t take me they won’t take me no no no

I’m a one-man band on a makeshift stage

And the great grandson of a tidal wave

Keep your eye on the prize and your nose to the grind don’t stop fightin’

Yea sticks and stones may break our bones

But words can only make us strong

Keep your eye on the prize nose to the grind don’t stop fightin’

Keep your eye on the prize and your nose to the grind don’t stop fightin’

I may not be the richest man but I’m a gonna love you with all I have

Ya keep me sane ya keep me pure ya keep me always needin’ more

And I wanna go home I wanna go home

I wanna go wanna go home with you

Well I wanna go home I wanna go home

The Train Is Comin’

Way over by the tracks lying on my back

Waiting for a sound hummin’ through the ground

Rollin’ clear and loud there you are

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

Lets jump onto a car straight away and far

Never thinkin’ twice stompin’ on thin ice

Grippin’ to the sides here we are

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

Sweet pretty little thing stowaway with me

Rest your head and sing floatin’ down a string

Whistle blowin’ loud looks to be

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

I’d rather be poor I’d rather not save

I’d rather be free I’d rather not slave

I’d rather keep on then ever be done

I’d rather take off then sit in the sun

The train is comin’ the train is comin’ ride another mile with me

The train is comin’ I hear the whistle blowin’ ride another mile with me

Getting There

Cobwebs and feelings caught the sun off the ceiling

And my head it was burning but my mind kept on turning out these

Words onto paper only realizing later that

I’d rather stay here then face the day

I heard that no man’s an island but I’m getting there

I wanna do what I do I wanna care when I care

I won’t allow myself anything else

Guidelines and letters left the room and I headed

Where my hands became armies every finger was guarding tunes I

Hummed as I drifted out to see if I missed it and

I’d rather be sunk than face the day

I heard that no man’s an island but I’m getting there

I wanna do what I do I wanna care when I care

I won’t allow myself anything else

That moon shot feeling lead me back to my ceiling

And I can’t be the only one who knows where he wants to run to

Get away get on goin’ jump start the radio

I’d rather be lost then face the day

I heard that no man’s an island but I’m getting there

I wanna do what I do I wanna care when I care

I won’t allow myself anything else

No no no no man’s an island but I’m getting there

I wanna do what I do I wanna care when I care

I won’t allow myself anything else

The Things We Can’t Hold

There’s some people I know I’ll carry forever wherever I rove

It’s undeniable how goes the things we can’t hold

And there are places in time that ring forever in my own mind

It’s unbelievable how goes the things we can’t hold

All that I owe, more then I show silver and coal

Piled at the foot of my soul piled at the foot of my soul

Piled at the foot of my soul

I’ve come to measure my life

In pivotal changes not calendar time

It’s undeniable how goes the things we can’t hold

I’ve come to manage my load

And balance the words at the back of my throat

It’s undeniable how goes the things we can’t hold

All that I owe more then I show silver and coal

Piled at the foot of my soul piled at the foot of my soul

Piled at the foot of my soul

But we keep chippin’ away marchin’ formations in separate brigades

It’s unbelievable how goes the things we can’t hold

All that I owe more then I show silver and coal

Miss America

I seen the meanest sickest saddest languages painted on a wall

It sent me steamin’ half unbelievin’ it sent me steamin’ up the wall

It sent me steamin’ up the wall

Hey Miss America you’re beautiful and sad

Tonight I rest my head upon your bloody land

In all this time I think I’ll never understand

Where freedom ends and form begins

I seen a tyrant cursing tyrants on a television screen

It sent me askin’ how could this happen it sent me steamin’ up the wall

It sent me steamin’ up the wall

Hey Miss America you’re beautiful and sad

Tonight I rest my head upon your bloody land

In all this time I think I’ll never understand

Where freedom ends and form begins

I’m bein’ robbed I’m in the red I’m bein’ tied down force fed

And I will bite the hand that leads me if I must

Yes I will bite the hand that leads me if I must

I seen a great land full of promise bein’ parted at the seams

It sent me stewin’ what are we provin’ it sent me steamin’ up a wall

It sent me steamin’ up the wall

Hey Miss America you’re beautiful and sad

Tonight I rest my head upon your bloody land

In all this time I think I’ll never understand

Where freedom ends and form begins

Where freedom ends and form begins

My God

Well all ya can write is all that ya seen

From heavy dust clouds to sand by the sea

And someday I’ll be like those speckles of grain

Ramblin’ again on a glory bound train

Oh God My God Oh God My God

I never met a soul without a burden bear

Ax to grind, cross to carry

We don’t really differ were not worlds away

Just hope machines with a great deal to say

Oh God My God Oh God My God

From OK to CA to NYC

And all the fine places beyond and between

Jesus Christ, Joe Hillstrom right on to me

Locked up and misplaced in Kings County

Oh God My God Oh God My God

They can throw me in prison rattle my cage

Take all my money blacklist my name

Retrace my steps right back to the start

They can keep me in chains but they can’t snuff my heart

Keep me in chains but they can’t snuff my heart

Oh God My God Oh God My God

All I Want

Ride ride get on by my head is clear as the big blue sky

All I want what I desire is to ride with you all of the time

Push push as we go ya gotta make your way to the front of the row

All I want what I desire is to push with you all of the time

Grow grow as we glide let the world unparch your thirsty little mind

All I want what I desire is to grow with you all of the time

Sing sing I don’t mind let the words go bouncing like a bobber on a line

All I want what I desire is to sing with you all of the time

And should you fall away from me I pray the lord for your safety

And should I fall away from you I pray you do the same thing too

Just ride ride get on by my head is clear as the big blue sky

All I want what I desire is to ride with you all of the time

I said all I want what I desire is to ride with you all of the time
