No greater power
No greater gift to lose Than the message unspoken The silence of the truth Alone we hide in the shadows But together we bring on the light One voice is not strong enough One heart just won't do In this world I don't count for much Unless I stand for you (Standing) Unless I stand for you (Standing) Oh, we are the beginning Of a sound that might be heard To the many who lie waiting Our words break through The cold grip of silence And they guide us through the night One voice is not strong enough One heart just won't do In this world I don't count for much Unless I stand for you One choice is all we got One fact remains true In this world I don't count for much Unless I stand for you Not another minute Not another hour We're gonna rise on up Every man, woman and child (I believe that the time has come) We got to stand together (I believe that the time has come) (I believe that the time has come) (I believe that the time has come) Oh, I stand for you (Standing) I'm standing for you (Standing) (Standing) We're gonna stir it up (Standing) Alone we hide in the shadows But together we bring on the light One voice is not strong enough One heart just won't do In this world I don't count for much Unless I stand for you, hmmm Unless I stand for you (I'm standing) (I'm standing) I'm standing for my brother I stand for you (I'm standing) I stand for you (I'm standing) I'm standing for you (I'm standing) I'm standing for my sister (I'm standing) I stand for you |

The world goes mad around us As I stand by and watch you sleep In the hope that harm won't find us I pray the lord our souls to keep Does he see us here? Are we precious in his sight? Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball? He hurled out into the night Somewhere east of eden From the first time that we stumble We learn that nothing is assured However hopelessly we tumble It's by the grace of god that we endure If there's some better place Far from all that's wrong But if god in his wisdom Saw fit to put you here Then here is where I belong Somewhere east of eden Maybe he laughs in our face By way of the cold hard fact That these moments framed in time and space Are the same ones nothing can bring back Maybe we exist and wonder through this world Just to lead each other home From somewhere east of eden |

You say sometimes you feel like searchin' For what you think you need If you go searchin' for life's reward You'll wind up sailin' the seven seas 'cause here and now when lightning strikes And it drives us to our knees Only then do we realize What we don't always see That even now in our darkesr hour We've got the whole universe in our hands Of all the choices we could make If we do the lovin' thing Someday when we look back on this I doubt if we'll remember much About the times we hurt each other The reasons we forgot to trust There's more to us than that Sometimes I may try to be Though I know I'm not your answer But I'm not your problem either baby In that way we're all the same And I know if I surrender It's a lesson we must learn A simple truth we can understand Someday when we look back on this Far enough away to see That the most we could ask of this life The best that we can hope to be Is to be grateful for love so clear Like a mirror reflects your face If you search for the tracks of your tears I know you won't find a trace There's more to us than that Every single tear Every shattered dream They're just like pieces of a puzzle Of themselves not what they seem Even in our darkest hour I doubt if we'll remember much About the times we hurt each other The reasons we forgot to trust |

(Paul Buchanan)
It's the middle of the night It's been a long hard day I see you walk my way Say it baby I want you... The jukebox laughing low At the sad motel Knows that I can't break your spell Say it baby I want you... It's my life and I know Even though you don't show me Am I right? Am I wrong to believe in you? Yeah yeah Say it baby I want you... |

Why do we look so hard? Why do we ask so much? In this world, it's sad in a way How time unblesses love, and faith is lost There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return Why do we want so much? Can we be satisfied? In this life how many times Can we pass the promised land, forever lost? There's no more prayin' for saving grace to find us No more waiting for conscience to remind us There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride Eventually, the day will come When lies won't buy time Tears won't bring hope When there's no more prayin'... Nowhere to run or do what we've done before There are few things meaningless as words At the point of no return We are lost between faith and hope Between heart and mind, between love and pride |

Broken heart, bloodshot stare, Signs of a fool who cared too much Now she's gone and he can't remember How to live without her touch Hopin' to die but surely livin' to tell 'cause when it comes to matters of the heart There is nothing a fool won't get used to After all the whiskey and wisdom he could swallow He thought it was time to start loving again So he found someone and prayed his heart would follow But he could hardly do more than pretend And though she knew in her heart that his love was lie When it comes to matters of the heart There is nothing a fool won't get used to Well, of all the things love teaches Of all the ways that it opens our eyes No more profound than the lesson he learned The day she walked out of his life When the road gets most narrow It's then he remembers her smile And he sees these words forming on her lips Across a river of tears he once cried 'cause when it comes to matters of the heart There is nothing a fool won't get used to No there is nothing a fool won't get used to |

(Carole King And Gerry Goffin)
Hey girl, I want you to know I'm gonna miss you so much if you go Hey girl, I'll tell you no lie Something deep inside of me's going to die If you say so long, if this is goodbye Hey girl, this can't be true How am I supposed to exist without you? Hey girl, don't put me on What's gonna happen to me when you're gone? How will I live, how can I go on? How can I go on? Hey girl, now sit yourself down I'm not afraid to get down on the ground And beg you, beg you to stay Don't go away |

What makes a man Believe in a brighter day When his whole world is fallin' apart All promise is fading away What does it take, To turn his heart to stone When he's got more than his share of riches More than one life can hold Sometimes it takes More than we've got it seems Something so close, so near Even a blind man sees If it takes a hand strong and mighty To spin this world around It takes the power of a woman's sweet love To make a man hold on What makes a man Hang his hope on someone To bring the light out of darkness Makes him believe a change is gonna come Something inside that just won't let go Something so simple, so sweet, Even a fool would know If it takes a hand strong and mighty To spin this world around It takes the power of a woman's sweet love To bring joy out of pain To let sunshine through rain To bring hope back to the heart To bring together what's fallin' apart She's got the kind of kisses To make a weak man strong She's got the kind of love To make a good man go wrong She's got what it takes |

Child, as I look in your eyes You know my life seems like a minute There I find living proof Of all the wonder life hold in it In the past I thought I had to learn Any good that comes from this life we're living Here and now, let us realize That this life's gift and it's already been given [Chorus:] Someday when you stand in the middle Like it or not you're gonna look both ways You're gonna find that time is a riddle Where days turn into years And years into the blink of an eye Child, once I saw a man on the tv Lead a nation up a mountain He said, children, look over yonder The flame of truth is burning brightly Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time Only so many of us are gonna get there Here and now is all we really have But if we can make it count We got no reason to worry [Chorus] You're gonna walk that mile You're gonna be in that number You're gonna make that journey Just like the good book says There's a time to be born, a time to cross over You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye |

This love is the only thing Pinning our future to the past What we have will always be The part of this living that lasts Baby, here I stand unafraid To forsake this world for your tenderness I'm reachin' out, I can't give up Sometimes it seems to me That this world is only where we start For all it's wonder I still believe The answer lies deep within our hearts Baby, here I stand unafraid To give myself, to be set free In love we find, there is no end We've always been We'll always be everlasting Everlasting We are everlasting Everlasting We are everlasting Baby, here I stand unafraid To forsake this world for your tenderness I'm reachin' out, I can't give up 'cause nothing matters |

Love is the answer to a child Just as hope is the answer to us all But it's there at the beginning That we learn to hope at all And god help us if we don't [Chorus:] Tell me where is this place From which there's no return What can we know of another road From the one that we made With our anger and our rage We dare not go where there is no hope Not even for a child If dreams fly over the rainbow Truth lies waiting for us all If siren's voices cloud our reason Can we still resist their call 'cause god help us if we don't [Chorus] For so many people livin' their whole lives Waiting to be saved For so many chilren taking that short trip |
