Im Just a Kid

Im just a kid you see
I want to go run I want to go play
If youll just let me
Im just a little one
I want to go fly my beautiful kite
If youll just help me
Just a little bit
I know that if I try my best
I will surely learn all of it
Im just a kid you see
And I love you very much.

I want to touch everything
I want to learn all there is that I can
Curiosity
Its just all so new
The planets the stars the old dinosaurs
Teach it too me
Every little bit
I know that if I try my best
I will surely learn all of it
Im just a kid you see
And I love you very much.

My eyes behold wondrous things
My mind is so sharp Im sparkling bright
Cant you see me
I trust almost everyone
I think everyone is rather alright
So please dont hurt me
Not one little bit
I know that if I try my best
I will surely learn all of it
Im just a kid you see
And I love you very much.

Im just a kid you see
And I love you very much.

Deep Inside of You

Hold on-Deep inside of you
Hold on-Deep inside of you

When you touch all the sadness
Deep inside of you
And the darkness covers every path you take
Is it possible to touch the Light?
I dont know if the Power of Love
Is enough to fill all the emptiness
I dont know if I have enough Love..
So Im telling you
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to the love deep inside of you
Youve got to hold on to your heart
Hold on, to your heart!!!

Hold on-Deep inside of you
Hold on-Deep inside of you

When you touch all the tears
Deep inside of you
And the shadows of the night
Have decided to stay
Is it possible to touch the Light?
I dont know if the Power of Love
Is enough to fill all the emptiness
I dont know if I have enough Love
So Im telling you
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to the love deep inside of you
Youve got to hold on to your heart
Hold on, to your heart!!!

Yes Im telling you
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to the love deep inside of you
Youve got to hold on to your heart
Hold on, to your heart!!!

I Will Wait For You

What have I done to you
But bare my heart in truth
Ive opened up my soul to you Baby
Now I dont know what Im supposed to do no..
Is it that Ive been so unkind
To you?
Is it that Ive shown you unsound mind?
Baby I dont think so...

Well it bothers me that were apart
Did I push you way too far too fast?
Have you taken your eyes away from me
Have I become a part of the restless sea
In you?
Is it that Ive been so unkind
To you?
Is it that Ive shown you unsound mind?
Baby I dont think so...

Did another take you from me?
Well why wont they just let us be?
Forgive them for they dont know what they do
To us..
Baby I will wait for you.
Is it that Ive been so unkind
To you?
Is it that Ive shown you unsound mind?
Baby I dont think so...

I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you.

Hearts

In this world there is no give or take
In this world there is only what you make
Of it all
Dont take the fall.
In this world there is only you and me
In this world there is everything that we will
Ever be
Its plain to see
We run the risk of being too serious
Our hearts in our hands
We run the risk of losing it all before
Weve ever taken a stand
Youre just a man
I understand...Hearts.

In this life we whisper what will be
In this life we follow the path of what
We will see
Dont you agree?
In this life there is no left or right
In this life there is only the knowing of
Black and white
Shades of the Night
We run the risk of being too serious
Our hearts in our hands
We run the risk of losing it all before
Weve ever taken a stand
Youre just a man
I understand...Hearts.
I understand...Hearts.

No! Never!

No! Never!
Never never listen to the fool speak (kachicha kachicha)
Never never listen to the fool speak (kachicha kachicha)
When they say the melody you sing is not your song
When they say that everything you do is wrong
Keep your head high
Dont have to answer why
Just let them pass you by
Dont listen to the fool speak
And become the fool yourself
No! Never!!

No! Never!!
Never never listen to the fool speak (kachicha kachicha)
Never never listen to the fool speak (kachicha kachicha)
When they say that you must be like this and you know youre not
When they say that you must be this way and you know youre not a part
Keep your head high
Dont have to answer why
Just let them pass you by
Dont listen to the fool speak
Never listen to the fool speak
And become the fool yourself.
No! Never!!

Never never listen to the fool speak
Never never listen to the fool speak
Never never listen to the fool speak.

The Gypsy Lady

And they call me The Gypsy Lady
Weaving all my spells within your heart
And they call me The Gypsy Lady
Weaving all my spells within your mind
My vibrations run thru your soul
Like water runs thru every stream of life
And the love that I feel here deep inside
Overflows like sun and rain into your mind...
And they call me
The Gypsy Lady oh oh-oh oh woah.

Do you know me?
Can you feel me?
As I weave a strand of hope in your soul?
Do you really
Think that maybe
I can make you feel like you already know?
My vibrations run thru your soul
Like water runs thru every stream of life
And the love that I feel here deep inside
Overflows like sun and rain into your mind...
And they call me
The Gypsy Lady oh oh-oh oh woah.

Johnny No-Heart

(spoken to rhythm)
Have you ever had the distinct displeasure of finding yourself living next to the neighbor from hell? Yep you guessed it; I have. And Ive given him a name; his name is Johnny No-Heart; but the title to this song is called Sweet Revenge cause everytime this song is
played in public and he happens to hear it, hes just the sort of guy that would walk around and say Hey-that songs written about ME. It sure was Johnny...

(sung)
Johnny No-Heart how can you be so cruel?
Johnny No-Heart Hell do the same to you!

I lived in this trailer alone
Raised my girls the best that I knew how
Years later along comes a man
Tries his best to tear my family down
Why did you lie about me?
I dont understand you Johnny
Do you-even have a heart?

(spoken)
And the story goes something like this: Short version (very short) MILD version (extremely mild) Hey guys you see that lady across the street? Shes got CATS I hate CATS. Like to wring their necks til theres not a breath left in em! (He said this to me once) Hey, Ive got my hands on a number of trailers--see hers? Number five guys wanna see how I do it? (yep this guy had a rep)...
Hey witch you walk down this street one more time and Im gonna beat you up!
Get off my property or Ill give you a piece of this! (his property?)
Cats disappearing Vanessa?
Gees I thought you LIKED getting maced. I just dont understand why you called the cops
on me.
I hate kids! Girls are worse!
Hey guess what Vanessa in seven days you and your stupid kids are going to be on the street--youre going to be homeless HAHAHAHAHA!

So I ask this guy, what about the lies Johnny? And he says to me, It got me what I wanted. Well youre right Johnny cause I sure as hell DONT want to live next to you anymore.
And as far as being homeless, I think the street is warmer than your heart. Oh, and by the way? Youre going to help me become very very rich....

(sung)
Johnny No-Heart how can you be so cruel?
Johnny No-Heart hell do the same for you
Hell do the same for you.

Living on the Edge

Hey..oh yeah
Hey..oh yeah
Living on the Edge
Of should I shouldnt I
Steel bars around my heart
Living on the Edge
Of should I shouldnt I
Keeps me from feeling apart
No need to question why
I know its deep inside
As I move my spirit forth
I know its hard to live a life
When you keep it all so deep inside
Its just a matter of silly pride
Hey Living on the Edge

Living on the Edge
Of should I shouldnt I
Steel bars around my heart
Living on the Edge
Of should I shouldnt I
Feeling the pain from afar
Its easier to hide
Than to let my spirit die
I dont want to feel the pain!!!
I know its hard to live a life
When you keep it all so deep inside
Its just a matter of silly pride
Hey Living on the Edge!!

I know its hard to live a life
When you keep it all so deep inside
Its just a matter of silly pride
Hey Living on the Edge!!

Hey oh yeah
Hey oh yeah

Cold Cold Waters

How can you tell me that you love me?
How can you tell me that you care about me?
How can you say that Im important to you
When you know, youre never there for me?

Love doesnt grow in the cold cold waters
Love doesnt fall from the sky..in words.

I know you think you really know me
Sitting in your smug point of view
But I know you dont really understand me
All you understand is you. yeah..yeah...

How can you tell me that you love me?
How can you tell me that you care about me?
How can you say that Im important to you
When you know youre never there for me?
Love doesnt grow in the cold cold waters
Love doesnt fall from the sky...in words.
No it doesnt.

Hearts Like Wolves

Theyll tell you that theyll see you thru the night
Tell you everything will be alright
But their hearts are like wolves.
Theyll tell you that theyll be your very best friend
Tell you that theyll be there til the end
But their hearts are like wolves...

Do you know when to trust
Or when their words no good
When they only seek to bring you further down?
Do you sit there and take it
Or do you take a stand
Do you fight until your mind is no more sound?
I dont think so...

There is no guarantee
What really might be
Lurking inside a heart...

Theyll tell you that theyll see you thru the night
Tell you everything will be alright
But their hearts are like wolves.
Theyll tell you that theyll be your very best friend
Tell you that theyll be there til the end
But their hearts are like wolves...

How is it that my own family
Thinks the worst of me and that I am no good?
Did they lose their faith in me?
Did they ask one question?
Do they think that my heart is made of wood?
I dont think so...

Theyll tell you that theyll see you thru the night
Tell you everything will be alright
But their hearts are like wolves.
Theyll tell you that theyll be your very best friend
Tell you that theyll be there til the end
But their hearts are like wolves...

There is no guarantee
What really might be
Lurking inside a heart...
Wolves.
Wolves.
Wolves.

Love the Night
8/1/98

Were you okay last night, were you cold?
Did you sleep out in the rain?
Were you alright were you fed
Did each step you take bring you pain?
Were your tears a level you could handle?
Did your fears darken every move?
Well Its alright, to Love the Night.

Were you all alone?
Did anyone care for you?
Did you stay alive?
Did you learn how to survvive?
Well, Its alright.

Did you smile last night and then cry
Were you happy but then sad?
Did you compromise your values
Just to sleep in a warm bed?
Were your tears a level you could handle?
Did your fears darken every move?
Well Its alright, to Love the Night
Its alright to Love the Night
Its alright, to Love, the Night.

Painted Flowers

Painted Flowers on the edges of your mind
Is that what youll find?
Darkened hours that dissipate the time
Is that what youll find?
Lifes too short for anything but happiness
Lifes too short not to Love...
I know youre hurting inside
Youve got no place that you can really hide
Youve got to learn youre alright

No more Painted Flowers
No more Painted Flowers
No More!!

Lifes too short for anything but happiness
Lifes too short not to Love...

Remember

Remember I love you.
Remember I love you.
Nothing can ever change this
Or the love we share together
People may come between us
But they cant come between us forever
Remember I love you.
Remember....

So You Caught Me Cryin

So you caught me cryin
So you caught me cryin
Do you have to scrape my skin away
To be with me inside
Do you have to bring the tears out
Before I run and hide
Ive got feelings just like you
Inside
I think I feel just like you
I dont think you need permission from
Anyone you know to look past the end of your nose
If we thought just a little bit about what we do
We wouldnt step on anyones toes...
So you caught me cryin
So you caught me cryin
You can stop the cryin...

Sweet and Low

I call you Sweet and Low
I call you Sweet and Low
Youre just another man yeah..
Doin his job the best he can.
You might just save someones life
Does it make any sense to
Turn around and hurt someone
Does this make any sense to you?

(spoken)
Sometimes the Universe moves so slow
You dont know whether to come or go
When the pace of life speeds up at last
Sometimes you find youre going too fast.
Youve got to think about what you do
Before you find your life is thru
Gotta make a stand for what is right
Before you find youve missed the light.
And heres a riddle if you can
What have you done to the lawnmower, man?
Common sense is not so common
But Ill give us a break were still...just human.
Well I think we are
Were supposed to be
Maybe were aliens...

(sung)
Youre just another man yeah..
Doin his job the best he can...
I call you Sweet and Low
I call you Sweet and Low
I call you Sweet and Low
I call you Sweet, and Low...

Alexs Song

Here she comes to me in her fantasy
Do you know how she feels inside?
As she winds her way thru her reality
Shes got alot she hides.

My Princess holds her sword in her hand
Crystals lying at her feet
One by one she picks them up off the land
She wants to be all she can be yeah...

She holds herself in the Light
She holds the Light in her heart
She holds her Heart in her hands...

(flute repeats all solo)

My Princess holds her sword in her hand
Crystals lying at her feet
One by one she picks them up off the land
She wants to be all she can be yeah...

She holds herself in the Light
She holds the Light in her heart
She holds her Heart in her hands...

Its Such a Shame

Its such a shame
I dont want your name
Do you justify your guilt with my pain?
I thought that you
Had more to do
Than to live upon the tears of my rain
My hands have covered my face once more
My knees are down upon the floor
Bind the heart and close the door
Why does it have to be this way?
Oh...why?
Ive often said
Best to keep ones head
Than to love the preciousness of ones soul
Did it mean so much
You had to lose your touch
In recognizing the goodness of my heart
Well
My hands have covered my face once more
My knees are down upon that floor
Bind the heart and close the door
Why does it have to be this way?
Oh...oh why?

Its such a shame
Its such a shame
Its such a shame

Quieen of Evil

Go ahead and listen to the Queen of Evil
Let her in
Go ahead and listen to the Queen of Evil
Let her win
She sits so smug in her tight disguise
Looking thru her Masters eyes
Its such a shame what people can do
You better pray someone really cares about you..
Here she comes to make you pay
Shes going to take everything away
Are you sure youre ready to play with fire
Its such a shame what people can do
You better pray someone really cares about you.

The Internet Love Song

Dont you know what you do to me?
Cant you feel what Im feeling
Inside..
How am I supposed to be
When my head is spinnin' thru your
Night Skies
Damn what you do to me!
Damn what you do, to me...
I can feel you next to me
My spirit filt'ring your senses thru a
Fine Line
How can you not be in love with me?
Well I know that you are and you'll always
Be Mine
Damn what you do to me!
Damn what you do, to me...
There'll never be another love
Deep as the one we share
How come you live so far away
Why should I even care?
Damn what you do to me!
Damn what you do, to me!
Damn, what you do, to me.

I watch you come into my dreams at night
You share your love with me and hold me
So tight..
You touch my heart and you touch my soul
Softly melting into
My mind..
Damn what you do to me!
Damn what you do, to me..
There'll never be another love
Deep as the one we share
How come you live so far away
Why should I even care?
Damn what you do to me!
Damn what you do, to me!
Damn, what you do, to me.

As Eagles Cry

The eagle sits
upon the mountain top
And watches the world go by
And he sees with sadness
in his heart
And his eyes begin to cry
Have we only come this far
To reap such tragedy?
Are we willing to look
at our part
that brought us to our knees?
For it is in our hearts
and our minds and our souls
And we are the ones to blame
Just look at the greed
Our own country shows
we should feel some shame.
We name Osama
say its all his fault
But I see thru the lie
For we have helped bring
This upon ourselves
And watched, as eagles cry...

No Perfection Lost

In the summer's light
You whisper in the air
In the wake of night
I see you standing there
The Light of Joy surrounds me now
The Light of Joy fills me now
you say...
Sing!!!
Sing!!!

In the winter's dawn
There's No Perfection Lost
In the pinks and blues
Reflected in the Frost
The Light of Love surrounds us now
The Light of Love fills us now
We say
Sing!!!
Sing!!!
Oh Yes Sing!!!
We Say Sing!!!
