The Best My Love Becomes
02:45
|
|||
As days go by
I often stop to wonder
About the way things use to be
The changing world
The lightning, the thunder
They always felt like news to me
And all the songs on the radio got played
And now a ghostly static hums
Children use to play now they grow up instead
Is that the best, the best my love becomes?
And songs go by
I often try to sing them
I try to get the changes right
Then change my mind
Forfeit my kingdom
Just give me music in the night
Pull out the tape deck
Get the band back together
A little bass, a little drums
A cup of coffee and some talk of stormy weather
Could be the best, the best my love becomes
Is that the best, the best my love becomes?
Could be the best, the best my love becomes
Is that the best, the best my love becomes?

Walk That Water
02:58

Way above in the empty space
Stars align and then they dissipate
More than love, more than... more than grace now
Give me a sign, lord, here I humbly wait
Let me know and I’ll walk that water, I
Walk that water I step out on the sea
Say the words and I’ll walk that water, I
Walk that water all the way to Galilee
In my heart there’s an empty space now
Like an ocean, maybe like the sky
And your footsteps have left no trace now
And all the waves seem to roll so very high
Let me know and I’ll walk that water, I
Walk that water I step out on the sea
Say the words and I’ll walk that water, I
Walk that water all the way to Galilee
Let me know and I’ll walk that water, I
Walk that water I step out on the sea
Say the words and I’ll walk that water, I
Walk that water all the way to Galilee

We are gonna build our love
We are gonna build our love
One life is time enough
We are gonna build our love
When people follow blind
And rulers change their mind
Abide with me my love
We are gonna build it up
The long highway is cracked
And pilgrims they turn back
They wander with the wind
They fear to try again
When decrees no longer stand
Let lawyers wring their hands
Let doubters laugh and scoff
And let us build our love
We are gonna build our love
We are gonna build our love
One life is time enough
We are gonna build our love
We are gonna build our love
We are gonna build our love
One life is time enough
We are gonna build our love

Embers
03:19
|
|||
I’m trying hard to remember
And I’m trying hard to recall
Was it early June
Or late December?
Was it in the springtime or in the fall?
Embers
Breathe on these embers
These dying embers
There’s still a flame
Embers
Breathe on these embers
These dying embers
I want to see again
Were they the words of wisdom?
Were they the words on the radio?
Maybe they were piping
Through the PA system
At the downtown rock and roll show
Embers
Breathe on these embers
These dying embers
There’s still a flame
Embers
Breathe on these embers
These dying embers
I want to see again

Rise Up Where You Are
03:00
|
|||
I looked on down the road
Thought I never would I arrive
I prayed so many words
Trying to keep some dream alive
But still I never woke
And dreaming wandered far
Until my pride it finally broke, my love
Rise up where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Rise up where you are
Where you are
Heady is the dream
That echoes in the street
But steady is the ground
That lies beneath your feet
Dreams may leave you bruised
Oh and time may leave a scar
But my love, I’ve got good news
You will rise up where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Rise up where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Rise up where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Rise up where you are
Where you are
(Where you are)
Where you are
(Where you are)
Where you are
(Where you are)
Where you are

Wake up
We are like children
Children in the mire
Waiting
For that strong hand
To pull us to the shore
Ah, but we don’t know
The strength in these hands of our own
Take one and hold on tight
And with the other now
Reach down
Reach down
We are waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Working
For that decent pay
Don’t my living slip away
I wanna think about tomorrow
But I gotta think about today
Don’t let my living slip away
What are they waiting for
Another billionaire to make his mark?
There’s a lot of talk about the light
And yet we are waiting
Waiting in the dark
Waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Waiting
Waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Waiting, waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution
Waiting, waiting
We're tired of waiting
We're tired of waiting
For some revolution

The voice of all my loving friends
Is falling on deaf ears again
And all the words fade, echoes in the wind
There’s a working people’s song
That I’ve been hard up to recall
Help me find that rhythm now, Mr. Smalls
Don't stop
Banging that drum
When the dead wall drowns you out
Don't stop
Banging that drum
Till the wall come
Tumbling down
It’s just a few men playing god
To a hundred million underdogs
But the gods don't sell without me on the clock
There’s a corporation plan
To keep me down with a mighty hand
Bang the drum to let the union stand
Don't stop
Banging that drum
When the dead wall drowns you out
Don't stop
Banging that drum
Till the wall come
Tumbling down
Don't stop
Banging that drum
When the dead wall drowns you out
Don't stop
Banging that drum
Till the wall come
Tumbling down

Beautiful Night
02:49
|
|||
There is a light
It comes from heaven
It broke into a million pieces so long ago
Now it’s alright
Just keep your head on
I’m sure some savior somewhere will guide us home
On this beautiful night
Beautiful night
Beautiful night, night, night, night
Devils and angels
They fall from heaven
And all they leave behind is a peaceful breeze
And there is a light
That comes from heaven
It traveled a million years to shine for you and me
On this beautiful night
Beautiful night
Beautiful night, night, night, night

House of the Giver
03:47
|
|||
And there’s a place
Where we may gather
Down a quiet winding road
Where every lonesome
And weary traveler
May set down that heavy load
Far away
Far away
From all jealousy and greed
I will take you
To the house of the giver
Where you'll find all you need
She’ll give you water
Straight from the river
Cool and clear as morning dew
And if you have high
Praise to give her
She’ll give it all right back to you
Far away
Far away
From all jealousy and greed
I will take you
To the house of the giver
Where you'll find all you need
And there’s always
Food on the table
And there’s always lots of room
She will not put you
Out in the stable
She’ll roll the stone back from your tomb
Far away
Far away
From all jealousy and greed
I will take you
To the house of the giver
Where you'll find all you need
Far away
Far away
From all jealousy and greed
I will take you
To the house of the giver
Where you'll find all you need
