Feeling alright

Sitting on a beach log staring at the water
Five thousand miles from home searching my soul
Been away so long seems like forever
But I still feel like a stranger wherever I go
I’ve had my dreams my expectations
But I learned that life is in the now
In this world of greed deception
Where truth doesn’t matter anyhow
I’m feeling alright
Feeling alright
Feeling alright
People come and go some stay a while
Some of them will love you some break your heart
But you’re the more richer if you can smile
Satisfied and proud you didn’t fall apart
I look at the ocean and I wonder
Is there such a place we call heaven
Where we play with angels forever
And all our past is forgiven
I’m feeling alright
I’m feeling alright
Feeling alright

Tell me oh Lord what am I to do
Another day gone by and noone to talk to
I had lots of friends my pockets full of money
Now that I lost it all my friends have gone away
Baby she left me here alone to cry
Took off like a light didn’t even say goodbye
Now I’m sitting here got my eyes on the phone
Hoping she would call but I know she ain’t coming home
Now I’ve got this guitar I just sit and sing my songs
Music’s like a star guiding me along
Since we fell apart it’s kept leading me on
Music don’t break hearts it’s never done me wrong
I could have given her the life of a queen
Take her on a jetplane anywhere she’s never been
Now I’m leaving town gonna leave town today
Catch the first ride out never come back this way
Now i’ve got this guitar I just sit and sing my songs
Music’s like a star guiding me along
Since we fell apart it’s kept leading me on
Music don’t break hearts it’s never done me wrong

I believe in you

Spread your wings fly away
The world is yours I believe in you
Keep your heart open and free
follow your dreams I believe in you
When darkness falls all around you
Just stand tall don’t let it scare you
I believe in you
Keep your mind sane and clear
Your body strong I believe in you
Stay away from the meek
Seek the truth I believe in you
Tread softly tread with care
The journey’s long full of snares
I believe in you
Be a prince be a king
Shine like a star I believe in you
Be a giver be a light
When others doubt I believe in you
Know in your heart greatness awaits you
Find your star let it guide you
I believe in you

Jesus was right
03:15
|
|||
|
Like cattle in a pasture feeding all day
How they got there and why they don’t even know
Just waiting for someone to point the way
Waiting for someone to tell them where to go
We tried revolution war democracy
Nothing’s ever worked same folks get the blues
We trade truth for comfort security
Seems like hell and fire’s the road we always choose
City is a jungle danger’s everywhere
You can’t protect yourself noone to protect you
You cry cause it ain’t right you moan cause it ain’t fair
Don’t you know life’s a kick just don’t let it beat you
History is our witness mirror to our wrongs
It’s all in the books they teach it in our schools
Still like in a daze we keep hanging on
To the same old lies to the same old fools
If you wanna change the world be the change you wanna see
Prophets and demagogues will try to misguide you
It’s all about who you wanna be
Don’t let ‘em run your life it belongs to you
Jesus was right he was right all along
There’s nothing to gain in selfishness and hate
This worls needs a new heart it needs a new song
Get your head out of the sand before it’s too late

Peace of mind
03:33
|
|||
|
Seems so long since I felt this way
I found me some peace of mind
Lord knows the troubles that came my way
Time after time
I travelled the world and I crossed the seas
Never in one place for too long
There were good times and there were tears
But I just kept on moving on
I can stand rain I can stand fire
Face any danger with no fear
Cross any river no matter how wild
As long as i have you near
People seem to bore me what they think or do
Looking for that angle to reach the stars above
Well I know what’s real and I know what’s true
That’s you me and our love
I know what’s real and I know what’s true
That’s you me and our love

A crazy world
03:31
|
|||
|
One man wanders into space searching for something new
One mann walks from place to place begging for food
One woman spends fifty bucks working on her tan
And one woman tries her luck out of a garbage can
Well it’s a crazy world baby I wouldn’t make it without you
It’s a crazy world baby couldn’t make it without your love
One man gives his blood so he can save a life
One man dies in the mud his heart pierced with a knife
One woman holds her child her face is a glow
One woman sells hers for a brand new camaro
It’s a crazy world baby I wouldn’t make it wihout you
It’s a crazy world baby couldn’t make it without your love
One man builds parcs and roads to improve a town
One man builds one bomb to tear it all down
One woman wants a lover who will make her happy
One woman wants no lover she’s been hurt one time too many
It’s a crazy world baby I wouldn’t make it without you
It’s a crazy world baby couldn’t make it wihout your love
It’s a crazy world baby I wouldn’t make it without you
It’s a crazy world baby couldn’t make it wihout your love
Without your love

Wild pony

Run wild pony run run away
Roll in the tall grass when you wanna play
You’re so alive and so happy
I wish it could be me
Run mountain stream run down to the sea
Nothing can stop you neither rock nor tree
You seem so frail but you’re so strong
I wish it could be me
Sometimes it just feels I’ll never get ahead
I just drag my feet as if they’re full of lead
Lord I just wanna go home
Lord I just wanna go home
Fly gracefull eagle master of the skies
You watch the world below with distant eyes
You’re so light and you’re so free
I wish it could be me
Run wild pony run run away
Roll in the tall grass when you wanna play
You’re so alive and you’re so free
I wish it could be me
I wish it could be me

You say you love me I’m your honey pie
You always come home come home late at night
I believe in love but I don’t believe in your lies
You say you’re going shopping with your best friend Sue
I found out later that it just wasn’t true
I believe in love but I don’t believe in your lies
I can hear the words you say
The truth ain’t in your eyes
Same old stuff everyday hey hey
Lies nothing but lies
You call me on the telephone at about one A.M
You say you’re at your sister’s home cause she ain’t feeling well
I believe in love but i don’t believe in your lies
I can he ar the words you say
The truth ain’t in your eyes
Same old stuff everyday hey hey
Lies nothing but lies
You say you love me i’m your honey pie
You always come home come home late at night
I believe in love but I don’t believe in your lies
I believe in love but I don’t believe in your lies

Have I told you lately
03:21

Have I told you that I loved you lately
Seems like it’s been quite some time
I don’t do it these days and I’m sorry
So I’ll tell you in this little rhyme
I love you when I wake up in the morning
Your face always greets me with a smile
I love you when I hear your voice singing
I hope I’ll hear it for a long long while
With you my life has changed for the better
I don’t see so many clouds up above
With you my troubles seem so much lighter
I bless the day I met you my love
There are times my heart just feel like crying
But I have been trained not to let go
Your love encourages me to keep trying
Where would I be without you I don’t know
You never fail to tell me that you love me
And how much I mean to your own life
And I’ll tell anyone who’d care to ask me
You’re the best gift I could ever have
With you my life has changed for the better
I don’t see so many clouds up above
With you my troubles feel so much lighter
I bless the day I met you my love
I bless the day I met you my love

Just illusions
03:13
|
|||
|
There’s no place I’d rather be
Me with you and you with me
And there’s nothing I’d rather have
Love for you your love for me
When life gets cold and so unkind
Smiles and goodness are all wrong
When I’m about to lose my mind
Your love keeps me hanging on
And all the rest is just illusions
All the rest is just a game
All the rest is just illuisons
there’s only love
One day foes next day friends
One day wrong next day right
Trying to keep up but to no end
You’re my life line you’re my guiding light
All the rest is just illusions
All the rest is just a game
All the rest is just illusions
There’s only love

Over the hill
03:06
|
|||
|
I finally made it baby
I’m over the hill
Always seemed like a long ways
But it’s here now and it’s no thrill
I look back and wonder
About the choices I made
If I had to start over
Lord would they be the same
Well I’m over the hill
But I’m still climbing
I haven’t had my fill
So I’ll keep on going
Some things just get harder
A little hard too fast
Some things just get smoother
Lessons learned from the past
I have to think hard
About the things I wanna do
Can’t pull the wrong card
Can’t make the wrong move
Well I’m over the hill
But I’m still climbing
I haven’t had my fill
So I’ll keep on going
Keep on going
