RAIN
Rain falls, it’s really comin’ down now
See you, on the other side of this storm
The time comes, when all the little pieces
Just burst into life, right before our very eyes
Crazy…before the calm, oh I can
See you in the sun light, shining
CHORUS:
Every single breath, has prepared me for this
Every single step, I am closer to it
I won’t be taken by surprise
Hey, Hey, You caught me
And if I dream, I’ll realize
Oh, Oh, You got me
Rain comes, it’s all falling down now
Answers come quickly like lightening
The day breaks, all the little wishes
Come together for the dream, like it was always meant to be
Crazy before the calm, oh I can
See you in the sun light, shining
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
Wait this out
Just hold on
Darlin’ before you know
The rain is gone
And we’ll be lifted up
CHORUS

Lullaby Lady

Lullaby Lady
Please mama, make me a melody
Standing at the gallows and the ground’s gonna fall beneath me
There’s pressure on my chest, I’m ready to rest
Yeah I’m barely breathing
Oh life, you sure know how to play me
While my body lies there weeping
On my knees, face to the ground
Imagining the shock of how they found me
CHORUS:
Lullaby lady, save me
This pale death lies here waiting for me
Oh sing it to me slowly – tell me
It’s not your time
You come around, only on occasion
And once you’ve decided to stay
Lightening, you’re coming to a revelation
the things that were will never go away
Brought nothing home - from the hunt – just defeated
They’ll say I lost my head and didn’t try
They’ll wonder how they didn’t see it
They’ll take my gun and hide me from the light, yeah
They’ll take my gun and hide me from the light
CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
When you’re down and really down
And you can’t go on
You want to scream out loud
Take me now
or let me live my glory
She sings and makes some hope
She breathes into the soul
You know the despair
Won’t last forever
CHORUS:

Touch and Go

Touch n Go
Touch and Go but I give you the chance
You took my love but not my heart
So I touch and go think I’ll turn it around
Broken bones but I’m still beating
What protects the love that’s bleeding
Satellites you always float around
Set in circles looking down
Like satellites never see the ground
Love you all give what I can
Looking for a place to land
CHORUS:
When it’s good you know it’s good
You don’t think about nothing at all
When it’s sweet you know it’s sweet
So you head straight onto the fall
When you know it’s good, it’s good
Everything just falls in line
When it’s sweet you know its sweet
Without trying
We’re promised this one little thing
In the end we’ll have to go
This tangled life is the in between
Search to find the one with meaning
1,000 times we’ll die believing

Never Look Back

Never Look Back
It's heavy, weighing it down
the words won't escape me
the tide could erase me
but I can't help but hold it now.
Laugh and run from the edge of the world
the road I take wont break me
love will still replace me
if I try to take myself down.
Chorus:
There is no time for pulling, pushing back
it'll be fine, I can just relax
if I come under attack
I'll draw my sword and never look back
no, never look back
Holding onto a story
that keeps me from my glory
never wanted to be one of those
you could overthrow.
lying around like a king in a house
with walls they can be taken down
now I stand, no defense and amused
my blood, my father, my home.
Chorus:
There is no time for pulling, pushing back
it'll be fine, I can just relax
if I come under attack
I'll draw my sword and never look back
no, never look back
I'll draw my sword and never look back
Never look back
Never look back
Never look back

Carried Away

Carried Away
Lookin up, winds died down,
you can come out now, the sky is clear
Looking down on the wreckage,
Beat the wood out of the houses,
The sky would never betray there’d been a storm here
Poor old Charlie, from two doors down
His whole damn house, nowhere to be found
Still sitting there in his lazy chair,
Just taking it all in
CHORUS
Show me the negative of the night sky
I’ll tell you why I used to think it was all I’d see
Show me the negative of the night sky,
Could’ve been carried away
Could’ve been carried away
The neighborhood is disarray, glad to be alive
They come together
Trading beer for firelight
Trading stories, trading lies,
The sky would never betray there’d been a storm here
All we’re asking is for another night (just?)
Before we have to start again
We’ll make do, we’ll figure it out
And we’ll do it tomorrow
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Upside down, inside out
Left to write the tale about
The storm that nearly carried us away
Glory be, grateful now
Don’t know when and don’t know how
But we’ll build the fortress strong til we feel safe

Light of Day
Almost there, I can feel the air
Takes my breather away, but I can’t stop now
Growing up, I never knew the struggle
Til it settled in next to me and my days
Still I carry on. Still I keep the faith.
Can I just call the time of struggle past
And everything easy?
CHORUS:
And if I have one last weight to bear
Let it be worth the love I’ve shared
Let me stay here for the night
I’ll make the rest of my way in the light of day
Been traveling so long, I don’t know where I’m going
Can’t see the end, but I keep on
Looking back, it circles around
You have gotten the best of me
Still I carry on. Still I keep the faith.
Can I just call the kettle black
And you the liar
CHORUS
Bridge:
Oh if only, you would come and wash it all away
Oh so lonely, wish you were here and you could carry me
CHORUS

Drive

Drive
Cut the tension with a knife
Will we make it through the night
Rolling with the noise on 95
Now we’re stuck, we said too much
Said too much and not enough
Holding to the right on 95
CHORUS:
Drive, drive, drive
I can see it in your eyes by the dashboard light
The silence is killing me
The moonlight is breaking
And we drive, drive, drive
Nothing turns to mountaintops
Wanted to but couldn’t stop
Prayin’ just to see the next state line
Counting down we’re getting close
To the point letting of go
The place along the way we crossed we line
CHORUS:
Trip and fall the day breaks
It’s so clear in the light of morning
Laugh and cry then I wake
Nothings gonna make me stay, NO
CHORUS:
Drive, drive, drive
I could see it your eyes by the dashboard light
The silence was killing me
The moonlight was breaking
So I drive, drive, drive

One True Love
Vs.1
You know how it feels when you think that you’ve got it all
That’s how I feel with you by my side
You’re so sweet, you always answer when I call
If I break down, you’re my ride
Wish the weather, was better
You’re my scarf, my umbrella
When the sun’s too, hot for me
You’re cool, you’re my iced tea
My big tall tree.
CHORUS:
If it takes you’re whole life
Then it’s worth it
To find the one who’s more than
Entertainment
To find you’re one true love
To find you’re one true love
Vs.2
You know how it feels when you’re sure you have the one?
That’s how I feel with you by my side
No matter what, we’re always havin’ fun
Nothing to fear or to hide
I’m bored, nothings happenin’
You make it good you keep me laughin’
When the worlds to hard on me
You talk me down, you just love me
My big tall tree
CHORUS
La, da la, da, da
CHORUS

One and Only
Finding myself, better every day
It’s so nice to know you
I don’t mind a cloudy day
We can just sit here and play
You’re my one and only
You’re my one and only
Just yesterday, I thought of you
And I smiled aloud
What will your name be, how will you feel?
You’re my one and only
You’re my one and only
Do I go there, dare I say
What I’m thinking
You let it all go, take control
You wake up and you wonder why they’re gone
You don’t like where you’re rolling
So you push ahead
Find people who remind you how it goes
Then you’ll know
You’re my one and only
You will stay here and I will be with you
It’s so nice to have you near
I don’t mind being alone
You’re still around after they are all gone
I’ll never loose you, you will never leave
You’re my one and only
You’re my one and only
Do I go there, dare I say
What I’m thinking
You let it all go, take control
You wake up and you wonder why they’re gone
You don’t like where you’re rolling
So you push ahead
Find people who remind you how it goes
Then you’ll know
You’re my one and only

FUN IN THE SUMMER SUN
Lets go have some fun
Some fun in the summer fun
Won’t you have some fun
Put on your favorite sunglasses
I bet you look fantastic
Best I’ve ever seen
So take my red ribbon
Tie it in a bow
We’ll put on a fancy show
Pretty cool I must confess
This show is the best
And look at me in my dress
CHORUS:
See you standing there
Sparkles in your eyes
Won’t you take the time
Come and play with me
We’ll laugh merrily
As the sun sets beneath the sky
We’ll have some fun
Some fun in the summer sun
The sky fades to twilight
The yellow sun says good-bye
stars invite the night
Wish I may, wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
Love the live long day
Move your happy feet
C’mon and dance with me
Twirling in the breeze
The world seems brighter
With flowers at our feet
Wont you dance with me
CHORUS
