Today I am not afraid to be stung, to be hurt Pain is an emotional teacher For if it is knowledge we seek why are we afraid To experience everything? Chorus Break the glass? NO Why? when there is a door But now the door is locked from the outside And the world is strolling by and we are calling Hey, somebody let me out Somebody let me out For in experience we may truly know This is the best teacher, life In living we become aware and we will find That these glass houses in which we live Are those walls that have been built chorus Out there the world is the same And in here our reality is changing Once upon a time I awoke to find A whole new world a place of possibility

How Long 04:25
My walls, I’m tearing down My mind has changed My defenses fall away Nothing will ever be the same Chorus: After the storm, after the war How long will it take to rebuild, to restore Hoe long will it be until we love again How long will it take for the fighting to end ‘til we live again I am older, and yet young My lies are coming undone We can sacrifice the lies for the truth But I’m still terribly unable to help you Chorus Feel the warmth of the sun This confusion is illusion My heart breaks, as it falls around me Oh, but love brings clarity Chorus I wanna live I wanna live again How long ‘til we love again ‘til we live again how long

Shotgun Mama 04:07
How can I shake this feeling down and out I dont wanna fight for my simple love I want no doubt To the world I go sword drawn dont mind if its for the music I wanna shake this feeling down and out. I wanna be the shotgun mama shoot em down Cmon patience cmon peace Cmon compassion hold me in your dreams I wanna shake this feeling down and out I wanna be joyful yeah I want no doubt Chorus Cmon compassion cmon please, show me to your door bring me to my knees I wanna shake this feeling down and out. I wanna be joyful yeah I want no doubt chorus

Spanishtown 03:15
Heading south when the wind blows spring, Got a show in Texas, then it’s on to New Orleans. Leave my cares down on Bourbon Street, Make some change out there with the gypsies. Had some friends down in Baton Rouge, Where I found some peace and solitude. Breathing in the southern air, Glad to be out there with the gypsies. Chorus: Easy livin’, in Spanishtown Where the old Mississippi, calls me down. Easy livin’, in Spanishtown Where the old Mississippi, calls me down. On to Memphis, home of the king Dive bar and a little too much to drink. Playin’ in Nashville, I’ll leave in the morning But tonight, I’ll see that river in my dreams. Music highway, just another city On to see Mamau in Indy. Then it’s home sweet home, took the long way to Chicago But man if that southern trek wasn’t sweet. Chorus: Easy livin’ in Spanishtown, And the old Mississippi, calls me down. Easy livin’, in Spanishtown, And the old Mississippi calls me down.
