She dreams; no one can hear her If she cries, who will be there to care? She needs someone to believe her when she lies When she pretends to share She sees other people being what it is she ought to be Other people fast pursuing what she cant believe in til shes free til shes free She thinks that no one can see her; All that she can hide is what shes searching for She sees other people being what it is she ought to be Other people fast pursuing what she cant believe in til shes free til shes free She dreams, and waiting inside her when she wakes; All that she needs to know

How early is beginning? From when is there a soul? Do we discover living Or somehow are we told? In sudden pain, in empty cold In blinding light of day Were given breath and it takes our breath away How cruel to unformed fancy The way in which we come Overwhelmed by feelings And sudden loss of love And what price dark confining The heart is to forgive When all at once were called upon to live Then by giant hands were taken From the shelter of the womb That dreaded first horizon The endless empty room Where communion is lost forever When a heart first beats alone Still it remembers no matter how its grown We grow, but grow apart We live, but more alone The more to be, the more to see To cry aloud that we are free To hide the ancient fear of being alone And now we live in darkness Embracing spiteful holds Refusing any answers For no man can be told That delivery is delayed Until at last were made aware And first reach for love To find twas always there Always there
They say everything can be replaced Yet every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my light come shinin From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man need protection They say every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Some place so high above this wall I see my light come shinin From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Standing next to me in this lonely crowd Is a man who swears hes not to blame All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud Crying out that he was framed I see my light come shinin From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Any day now, any day now I shall be released
The kids just went to sleep And I thought Id play this old time record Darling, come and dance with me together Though I look a little older, youre as pretty as the day we met A happy home never hurt no one yet Remember when we used to laugh at old father time All in all the jokes on him and he dont even mind Sigh, and put your arms around me Sway and look into my eyes Isnt it so funny how time flies Yah da dah, da da da da Yah da dah Remember when we used to laugh at old father time All in all the jokes on him and he dont even mind Im not saying the partys over I just wanted to tell you how Very good it has been up til now How very good it has been up til now Isnt it so funny how time flies Remember when we used to laugh at old father time All in all the jokes on him and he dont even mind Sigh, and put your arms around me Sway and look into my eyes Isnt it so funny how time flies
Every flowers reachin for the sun Every petal opens when the day has just begun Even in the city where they grow up through the street Every blossom needs the sunshine to makes its life complete Some are torn out by the roots and cast aside And some might be arranged for a bride A flowers just a seed when its young And every flowers reaching for the sun Some are bent by fears they cannot see And some are touched by love and set free A flowers just a seed when its young And every flowers reaching, every flowers reaching Every flowers reaching for the sun
Id like to take you by surprise at the grocery store Grab you by the hand and step on the electric door Leave the shopping cart right where it is I betcha somebodys got the same list I wanna take us away from all this to a distant shore Id leave the car by the curb with the motor on The tape deck playin our favorite love song And youd say What in the world? And smile just like a little girl And Id say I cant tell you now but it wont be long. Chorus: I know it sounds funny, but its true... I get so busy I forget Im in love with you And every now and then we need to get away to get close again Up in the air in a window seat Your head on my shoulder and a blanket around our feet We could leave the kids at home And if you get worried we could telephone We need a weekend of fun for under two hundred dollars complete There we would be in a sunny land Wed lie on the beach and you could wiggle your toes in the sand A tropical drink late at night And a midnight dip if the temperatures right The best things turn out better if they never were planned
Memory moves us past each other Time is a ribbon without end Love is the lesson we keep learning Death but a moment we must spend Last week as I made our lunch We talked of yesterdays I remember more than you That happens lots these days But how we laughed, I almost cried And the afternoon flew by As we sat on the patio sipping our drinks And the sunlight began to die Memory moves us past each other Time is a ribbon without an end Love is the lesson we keep learning Death but a moment we must spend And we try to give each other comfort We try to hold off that dark night Each of us careful of the other Keeping our own fear out of sight Ah, you know Ive always loved you And I know youve loved me too So its hard to watch you crumble And forget all that you knew Yesterday while I was driving Sunlight streaming through the trees Suddenly my heartache parted And suddenly I felt at ease You will love me all your life And I will love you all of mine Thats the gift we give each other Thats the gift divine Memory moves us past each other Though time is a ribbon without an end Loves still the lesson we keep learning And death but a moment we must spend
There are voices by my pillow, they remind me when to rise And they tell me if my mornings under grey or sunny skies And then they dedicate a record, Our Love Will Never Die By a group thats been disbanded Though its seldom mentioned why But they say that theres a chip in every part Of the state of the heart Answering an ancient invitation Whens the proper time for us to go? Turning from our separate destinations Now we say goodbye, and now we say hello But there are signs out on the highway, writing on the walls Hungry eyes and always with a drifting dreamer falls And we can watch it on our TVs, theres a dish out on the lawn And we wonder where the valley of reality has gone When they say theyve got a tape on every part Of the state of the heart
Got my money, got my car Dont know where Im going, but Im goin pretty far Gas tanks filled, oils checked Goin to do some travelin I expect Goodbye, goodbye baby Goodbye, goodbye baby Ill be movin on my way Highway map, Route 29 Going to where it leads suits me fine Turn on the key, step on the gas Let out the clutch and take off fast Goodbye, goodbye baby Goodbye, goodbye baby Ill be movin on my way They say you found another guy I think I know the reason why You want his money, itll be so nice So well honey Im a-leavin and, honey, no dice Goodbye, goodbye baby Goodbye, goodbye baby Ill be movin on my way While Im sitting behind that wheel Youll be thinking about that You did me wrong, you didnt do me right Driving all day and crying all night Goodbye, goodbye baby Goodbye, goodbye baby Ill be movin on my way Ill be movin on my way Ill be movin on my way Ill be movin on my way
We came to a new world Tired of the old one Hungry for freedom And heavy with prayer It was a beautiful treasure Ours for the taking Never mind that someone Was already there Invisible people We were climbing in numbers In just a few generations Frontiers to conquer And fortunes to make So we hitched up our wagons And pushed ever onward Never a thought for What lay in our wake Invisible people We cant see their tears They still cry out But no one can hear Invisible people Hey, yay,yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Shattered in spirit Promises broken Hunters and healers Now refugees Tell me who is the savage Who is the savior When a people are ravaged By hatred and greed Invisible people We come for the bargains With flags for the children Acres of parking Opening day But under the asphalt The pride of a nation Is buried forever In the home of the brave Invisible people We cant see their tears They still cry out But no one can hear Invisible people Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay Hey, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay
The paint is old and peeling The shutters show some cracks Theres a heavy limb on the apple tree Thats got to be cut back Theres some water in the cellar A little sagging in the floor But this house has weathered many storms It will weather many more cause I scraped away the peeling paint And found the wood was good and strong And I found a firm foundation Had been there all along Theres nothing here that a little work And time cant heal cause everything underneath is real Nerves are frayed and ragged Patience is wearing thin Words were said in fits of rage That never should have been We bruised each other badly Lost respect along the way But theres too much here worth saving To throw it all away Cant we lay aside our fear and pride And find the good within All that we have shared before Can be restored again Theres nothing here that a little work And time cant heal cause everything underneath is real

Silence slips between us Solitude complete The stillness clear And close as heavens door The earth beats out its rhythm In slow and perfect time Counterpoint and harmonies Lifes melodies entwine And we fight the battle here Where theres time to fall in step The secrets are still known here But the secrets never kept Wild places, somewhere We can see the Fathers hand Wild places, somewhere We can be alone with you We need a promised land Maybe well be wounded in the healing Its to be broken to be sure Can we embrace This strange awakening together? Is wisdom carved into creation? The old relationships defined As forbidding as her truth may be Well learn her ways with time Well learn to take it as it comes We cant change faster than we can Already were a long way From the children we began Wild places, somewhere We can see the Fathers hand Wild places, somewhere We can be alone with you We need a promised land Wood smoke rising Faces alive in the firelight Forsaking the road And making it home to be there tonight The young making good what they found In the wood, what they learned of a land Putting dreams back together Talking it through, reaching out for the hand Theres a moment caught suspended Communion born between our eyes Our vision clears Its golden flight ascending And we have seen what we have come for And we will some day see again But we have climbed into the mountains So we must climb back down til then But well take it as it is crazy With love and disbelief And the magic of your morning The wilderness, the peace Wild places, somewhere We can the Fathers hand Wild places, somewhere We can be alone with you We need a promised land We need a promised land
When I was a young man courting the girls I played me a waiting game If a maid refused me with tossing curls Id let the old earth take a couple of twirls And Id ply her with tears instead of pearls And as time came around, she came my way As time came around, she came But its a long, long while from May to December And the days grow short when you reach September The autumn weather turns the leaves to flame And I havent got the time for the waiting game Oh, the days dwindle down to precious few; September, November And these few precious days Ill spend with you These precious days Ill spend with you
Hey Jess, I heard you talkin on the telephone And I wish that you could say it to my face I know you think Ive changed and I dont love you But Ive only reached another time and space I guess weve been avoiding total honesty But we cant leave confrontation on the shelf Though I know that love brought us together In finding one another I almost lost myself Chorus: I need me to be for me, to be free and to discover I need me to be for me, and then we still can be for each other Who am I deprived of my identity If I am not myself when were apart What is love that mirrors back no sense of me What can I give to you now if it isnt my own heart? And then we still can be for each other
I am your child Wherever you go, you take me too Whatever I know, I learned from you Whatever I do, you taught me to do I am your child And I am your chance Whatever will come, will come from me Tomorrow is won by winning me Whatever I am, you taught me to be I am your hope I am your chance I am your child Whatever I am, you taught me to be I am your hope I am your chance I am your child
The way to my fathers house when I was just a boy Lay through fields of innocence near bubbling springs of joy And when Id lay me down to sleep Id pray the lord my soul to keep The road was never very steep On the way to my fathers house The way to my fathers house when I turned seventeen Wandered through inviting hills beside a tumbling stream Sometimes in prayer upon my knees I would feel a distant breeze The road was winding now through trees On the way to my fathers house The way to my fathers house at the age of twenty-nine Led over a mountain that I would seldom climb Except in times of great despair when Id be looking everywhere And then one morning he was there On the way to my fathers house And glory, what a refreshing story I was so blind before he opened my eyes restoring me to The way to my fathers house at the age of thirty-one Was a ride on a rainbow my new life had begun And every evening I could look through the pages of his book And recognize the paths I took on the way, on the way... I go to my fathers house in these troubled days The spirit is moving in mysterious ways Reminded when old doubts appear That perfect love casts out all fear In thanks I tend the garden here, on the way On the way On the way to my fathers house
Take off your old coat And roll up your sleeves Life is a hard road To travel, I believe Run down church Red clay River covered In a smoky haze Sunday morning The fire is out Sunday morning No one about The earth is soft This time of year Boots get caked From there to here Down the road Route 25 They found this boy Barely alive Jesus is on the wire So far away Higher and higher Jesus is on the wire Took him down Off the fence Cold as ice Almost dead They said that he That he slept with guys They said that he Deserved to die Jesus is on the wire So far away Higher and higher Jesus is on the wire
Nobody knows you when youre down and out In your pocket, not one penny And your friends you know you havent any If I ever get my hands on a dollar again Im gonna hold onto it til George Washington grins Its mighty strange without a doubt Nobody wants you when youre down and out
If I had a hammer I’d hammer in the morning I’d hammer in the evening all over this land I’d hammer out danger I’d hammer out warning I’d hammer out the love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land If I had a bell I’d ring it in the morning I’d ring it in the evening all over this land I’d ring out danger I’d ring out warning I’d ring out the love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land If I had a song I’d sing it in the morning I’d sing it in the evening all over this land I’d sing out danger I’d sing out warning I’d sing out the love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land Now I got a hammer and I got a bell And I got a song to sing all over this land It’s the hammer of justice It’s the bell of freedom It’s the song of the love between my brothers and my sisters All over this land
The dragon.  The dragon is a large mythological beast, having four separate and therefore quite distinctive legs, and a monstrous body with thousands of tiny scales. At one end of the large monstrous body we find an almost equally monstrous head with two flaming nostrils. The mean temperature of which sometimes reaches two hundred and twelve degrees Centigrade.  At the other end of the large monstrous body, we, um– The dragon. Thе dragon is a large mythological beast, having four separatе and therefore quite distinct nostrils, and a large monstrous scale. With thousands of tiny legs? The dragon. Whoops!  In any event, this is not supposed to be a speech about a dragon. This is indeed a song about a dragon.  Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee And little Jackie Paper Loved that rascal Puff And brought him strings and sealing wax And other fancy stuff Oh, Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee Together we should sing it Its just a childrens song And if you do not know the words Youd better learn them Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee Together they would travel On a boat with billowed sail Jackie kept a lookout Perched on Puffs gigantic tail Noble kings and princes Would bow wheneer they came Pirate ships would lower their flags When Puff roared out his name Oh, Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee A dragon lives forever But not so little boys Painted wings and giants rings Make way for other toys One gray night it happened Jackie Paper came no more And Puff, that mighty dragon He ceased his fearless roar His head was bent in sorrow Green scales fell like rain Puff no longer went to play Along the cherry lane Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave So Puff, that mighty dragon Sadly slipped into his cave Oh, Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee Puff, the magic dragon Lived by the sea And frolicked in the autumn mist In a land called Honalee

Chorus: With your face to the wind, i see you smilin again Spirits movin within, i know that youre gonna win Youve been down this road before Somethin inside tells you whats in store Gotta remember what were all here for Ya gotta eat up the apple and spit out the core 2x You can get angry, you can curse You can shout it out in rhyme or verse And you can tell me that its never been worse Then take that old sows ear and turn it into a purse There are gifts that come like the rain They make the plants grow, they drench you all the same And there are gifts that took you years to see Like the gift of the friend that youve been to me Yes there are hands here to comfort you And if you need there are tears to cry with you too And there are hearts that will sing with you And voices to cheer when youve finally made it through 2x Sometimes it takes the dark to let us see the light You cant have that victory unless youve fought the fight Sometimes it takes a winding road to lead us home While youre windin round my friend just dont go windin round alone 2x
This song asks nine questions. We feel that the answers to these questions could determine what happens to all of us in this generation. When we sing this song, we ask ourselves the questions, and we ask you please to do the same.  How many roads must a man walk down Before they call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? How many times must the cannonballs fly Before theyre forеver banned? The answеr, my friend, is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind How many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? How many years can some people exist Before theyre allowed to be free? How many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesnt see? The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? How many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? How many deaths will it take til he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind The answer is blowin in the wind
On October 31st, a day that we all refer to as Halloween, throughout this great country of ours, small groups of armed children race, race from house to house demanding protection money.  Or at least it seems as though thats what theyre doing now. I remember when I was a kid, and probably when most of you were kids, we had a lot simpler motivation, right? A couple of jelly beans would do us in, right? Youd stand outside, freezing weather, stand outside a door in a cardboard costume, right, waiting for a couple lights to go out, and youd tippy-toe up to the front door, very quiet, everybody scared.  Knock knock knock knock Yeah kid, whaddaya want? Boo. Nowadays they have a much more persuasive policy. First of all they arrive in a motorized division, right?  All right, junior, get out. Your mother and I will wait for you here. And then when the child gets up at the front door hes none too gentle about it.  Ka-boom, ka-boom, ka-boom Yes, what, what is it? Alright pops, whats it gonna be? The candy or your front window? Well in England they have a counterpart - almost, that is. They go from house to house, not during Halloween nor do they call it trick or treat. They go instead during the Yuletide season. They call the custom wassailing; we call the song A Soalin.  Hey ho, nobody home Meat nor drink nor money have I none Yet shall we be merry Hey ho, nobody home Meat nor drink nor money have I none Yet shall we be merry Hey ho, nobody home Hey ho, nobody home Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soal cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all God bless the master of this house and the mistress also And all the little children that round your table grow The cattle in your stable, the dog by your front door And all that dwells within your gates, we wish you ten times more Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soal cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all Go down into the cellar and see what you can find If the barrels are not empty, we hope you will be kind We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber For well come no more a soalin til this time next year Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soal cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin I have a little pocket to put a penny in If you havent got a penny, a ha penny will do If you havent got a ha penny then God bless you Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soal cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all Now to the Lord, sing praises all you within this place And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace Oh, tidings of comfort and joy (Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soal cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all Three for him who made us all)

You read about Sampson, and you read about his birth He was the strongest man that ever lived on Earth One day Sampson he was walking alone He looked down on the ground and he saw an old jawbone And he lifted up that jawbone and he swung it over his head And when he got to moving ten thousand was dead If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way I would tear this building down Sampson and the lion got in attack And ol Sampson he crawled up on the lions back You can read about the lion - he killed a man with his paw And ol Sampson he had his hands around that lions jaw He ripped that beast til the lion was dead And the bees made honey in the lions head If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way I would tear this building down Delilah she was a woman, she was fine and fair She had lovely looks, God knows, and coal black hair Delilah she climbed up on Sampsons knee She said Tell me where your strength lies, if you please And she talked so fine, and she talked so fair And ol Sampson said Delilah, cut off my hair Shave my head clean as your hand And my strength will be like a natural man. If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way I would tear this building down If I had my way If I had my way If I had my way in this wicked world If I had my way I would tear this building down, yeah!
They say everything can be replaced And yet every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man that put me here And I see my light come shinin From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say every man must fall But I swear I see my reflection Somewhеre so high above this wall And I see my light come shinin From thе west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Well standing next to me in this lonely crowd Is a man who says hes not to blame All day long I hear hm crying so loud Shouting out how he was framed But I see my light come shinin From the west down to the east Any day now , any day now I shall be released I see my light come shinin From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Any day now, any day now I shall be released
