Oh Mama

Don’t suggest what I’m thinking
I’m gonna be truthful
When I feel you’ve laid down all your arms
You’ve always got good intentions
I know you’re no devil
But I grow weary when you play the part
I just need to be heard
Speak my mind without questions
And feel easy
I’m no problem to solve
My troubled heart just needs time, Dear
A slow healing
Oh Mama, oh Mama
Listen to my song
My mind is full of worry
My heart is full of doubt
Give me space and some freedom
To be what I’m feeling
Gain some footing on this shaky ground
Babe, you’ve gotta believe me
I wanna be near you
But for now I need to be alone
There are times I am strong
And other times I am weak, Dear
I won’t argue
There are days I believe
And other days I am doubtful
My heart fading
Oh Mama...
We hold a love that always shakes things up
We hold a love that makes us carry on
Oh Mama...

I'm A Rose
03:46
|

Vultures dance in figure-eights in the sky
Children, always curious, wonder why
They don’t know, down below
A death has ensued
Their beaming eyes stay fixed on
The spinning black against blue
I’m a rose, I’m a weed
I’m a super model, I’m a gamin
A branch, a seed
I stand at both ends,
And I’m in between
How do you see me now?
Things could get turned around
Princes roam as paupers out on the street
Once adorned, now soiled down to their feet
Everyone, from old to young has worth in their bones
Still the masses pass by hurrying to get home
I’m a rose...
Oh, I’ve waited for an open door
To show my way outside
When across the room, within my view
Is a window open wide
I can see my heart is willing to believe
But my eyes are blind to how I may receive
I’m a rose...

Out On The Road
03:57
|
|

Out on the road
Burning up fuel
Far from the noise
Busy and cruel
The wide open fields
Are coming in view
The grass is all dead
But spring's coming soon
Out on the road
Where no signal comes through
I'm turning my thoughts
To remembering you
The birds overhead
Are lifting me up
The river below
Is filling my cup
Out on the road
Taking my time
Thinking of you
Out in the wind
Brushing my face
Calling me home
To a quieter place
Breathing the air
Making me clean
Lifting my hands
Letting me be
Out on the road
Taking my time
Thinking of you...

Go Together
02:48
|
|
||
Put your arms
Around my neck
We’ll go together
We’ll turn this thing around
Try not to settle down
Get our feet up off the ground
‘Til we know
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
We’ll walk together
Should we, or should we not
Give it a second thought?
We’ll I can’t connect the dots
So, I don’t know
But what have we got to lose?
Just our workin’-brother-blues
So, come on, put on your shoes
Here we go
Someone’s in flat-bed truck
With his head hung low
There’s a dog on the side of the road
Takin’ it slow
I see clouds of dust
Swallowing the sunset’s glow
This isn’t what we thought it would be
But it’s good to know
Young boys and girls
Are given new eyes to see
Locked doors are open
When we give up the keys
And if we get lost
Falling down to our knees
Well Babe, just remember
I got you, and you got me
I got you, and you got me!

If your head is made of wax
If your head is made of wax
If your head is made of wax
Don’t go walkin’ in the sun, no, no, boy
Don’t go walkin’ in the sun
If your hair is made of steel
If your hair is made of steel
If your hair is made of steel
Don’t go dancin’ in a storm, no, no, boy
Don’t go dancin’ in a storm
Boy, you better listen
Better take it straight from me
I’ve been livin’ by these words since 1963
If your head is made of wax
If your head is made of wax
If your head is made of wax
Don’t go walkin’ in the sun, no, no, boy
Don’t go walkin’ in the sun
If your hands are made of straw
If your hands are made of straw
If your hands are made of straw
Don’t go startin’ up a fire, no, no, boy
Don’t go startin’ up a fire
Boy, you better listen
Better make your two ears sore
You come around again
I’ll be sure to give you more!
If your heart is made of glass
If your heart is made of glass
If your heart is made of glass
Don’t go fallin’ in-love, no, no, baby
Don’t go

I Will Rise For You
03:48
|
|
||
I feel heavy now
My fingers quiver underneath a gun
My legs feel buried in the dirt
But I’m ready for the run
Streaks of gold light the sky
In endless smoke and cloud
My sight lies steady on the hill
I’ll make death, or meet my own
I heard the call, took my place
My mother-dear, kissed my face
I will rise for you!
Shots ring, 10,000 bells,
Against my temple drums
Silhouettes on the hill
Drop like aimless bombs
Blood pours out on the ground
From my wounded enemies
One’s eyes lie open in the light
Staring back at me
I heard the call...
We move onward through the fire
Sons and daughters, mines and wire
Blazing like the sun
Abraham took his son
Up the hill with a gun
I will rise for you
An angel cast the gun aside
And spoke to Abe, God will provide
I will rise for you!

Saint Maria
02:37

|

Lilium
Petals white as snow
Candidum
On the mountains where you grow
A shepherd’s star
Shining in the sun
A kingdom’s seal
Among thorns overrun
And I won’t be afraid
No, I won’t hide in the shade
When the moment calls for courage
I’m gonna stand
Saint Maria with tangled hair
Innocent eyes, and a mother’s care
No child laughing on your knee
You were uprooted by your own family tree
Madonna lilies stained in red
On the side of your hospital bed
Oh, your body was broken
But your soul never bled
Lift your eyes
To where your help comes from
The mountain spies
Testify to everyone
And I won’t be afraid
No, I won’t hide in the shade
When the moment calls for glory
I’m gonna stand
Saint Maria...

Confession
03:39

|

I’m a fading flame
I can’t say when I began to dim
Born to know the truth
God is not gonna give up on me yet
I’ve been reaching out my hands
In the dark for far too long
Hoping I could feel my way
To where my heart belongs
I’ve made no quiet place
Where I can hang my coat
And let myself be known
Honest and exposed
Who can know the truth?
I can only guess we’re half-awake
Walking in a dream
And it scares me half to death
To think I’m right
There’s just too much trouble
Breaking ground beneath my feet
To think that I could keep on walking
And never know defeat
Come inside with me
We’ll hang up our coats
Let ourselves be known
Honest and exposed
I’ve been reaching out my hands
In the dark for far too long
Hoping I could feel my way
To where my heart belongs
Come inside with me
We’ll hang up our coats
Let ourselves be known
Honest and exposed

Live Life Slow
07:28

You were a young girl
And we were just friends those days
Carefree and simple
Trouble was miles away
We walked in the springtime
Sang out a song all the way
Our melodies blooming
Our harmonies tangled and stray
It wasn’t long before we knew
This was love
We let it grow, year by year
Warm as a glove
Leaves were caught falling
Over our heads in the frame
Bright red and yellow
The day that I gave you my name
We made a home,
Hand in hand, side by side
Some days were clear, others dark
We laughed and we cried
And I won’t let go
And I won’t let go now
Now we are older
Life seems to pass us by
We spend our days spinning
The pace of life runs us dry
We hear it said, open up
Take what you can
It sound so good
But I find myself
Lost in the span
And I won’t let go
And I won’t let go now
When life moves too fast, Dear
The things that I love begin to choke
I need you to hear me
I need you to know this ain’t no joke
We’ve all got soil
Down where we know who we are
Don’t let it turn dry as stone
Live life slow
What a beautiful sky tonight
What a beautiful sky
How grateful am I tonight

I'm Still Sleeping
04:28

|

When you walk down the hall
I can hear, I can hear you
When you walk down the hall
I can hear, and I’m still sleeping
When you walk down the hall
6:00 a.m., and I can hear you
Don’t wake the baby
When you open the door
I can hear, I can hear you
When you open the door
I can hear, and I’m still sleeping
When you open the door
6:00 a.m., and I can hear you
Don’t wake the baby
The sun is rising over head
I’m hiding in our bed
I’m dreaming you’re asleep next to me, Dear
Birds are singing in the trees
Criss-crossing melodies
I’m silent with the lullaby of breathing
