(Michael McDonald/Tommy Sims)
Like a river runnin' to the sea There must be a reason for all these shattered dreams Starts with our believing and ends with our backs against the walls If I'm not careful I might convince myself This is the way it's always gonna be Spend my whole life wonderin' just what it means to survive So I wonder, am I strong enough? Do I have the strength I need to carry on? All I'm askin' for is the path that's gonna lead me home [Chorus:] All I need is a shinin' light an open door I'm askin' for nothin' more than a little hope Another mornin' strange as it seems Here once again with all these broken things That once hung in the balance between the extremes of my life With the will of a runaway train I took my chances time and time again Leaving nothin' but wreckage and pain behind [Chorus] All I need (is) just one answer I'm lookin' for I'm askin' for nothin' more... Than a light in the window Enough that I might see A voice to call my name |

Down here on loves killin' floor
I doubt if we could take much more Here and now (We) Need to ask ourselves why We've come this far only to find The price of happiness we no longer pay You gotta really love someone Words alone are cheap, it's more of What you do and less of what you say Baby, I don't wanna live In some prison of promises Baby, look around at all this emptiness There ain't no love to be found With a love like this all broken and bruised You just walk a way with nothin' to lose Here and now (We've) Got to ask ourselves why If love is through, then why even try The price of happiness we no longer pay You gotta really love someone Words alone are cheap, it's more of What you do and less of what you say Baby, I don't wanna live In some prison of promises Baby, look around It's all but hopeless know Baby, look at you and me This vision of loneliness any fool can see The walls are tumblin' down There ain't no love to be found Take a look at you and me This vision of loneliness baby any fool can see That between you and me There ain't no love to be found |

Starin' back at a room full of strange faces I sense another welcome worn thin A bartender sayin' "son take it outside" "take it out the door you brought it in" He said, he don't wanna hear about my problem Or why I think I got it so tough He said guys like me come a dime a dozen That my only problem is knowin' when I've had enough (but) how can I have too much? How can I have to much of somethin' I can't get enough of? You said it so well in your letter baby You gave me every reason why Girl you sure use a lot of paper, just to say good-bye Well here's to the good times Here's to the way we were Here's to how you tried to be my lover 'till disaster struck Now you wanna be a friend and tell me I'm a man who simply needs too much But how can I have too much? |

(Tony Joe White And Michael McDonald)
Something deep inside, keeps me hangin' on Don't believe I've ever seen a night so long Guess I tried to fly high above the clouds But I landed here in the mornin' rain at your door And I know I let you down again But right now you know I need a friend I don't know why I guess I just lose my way And your eyes don't believe a word I say I can't imagine without your love Where would I be now Did you ever know I always looked up to you And after all this time it remains true There's no compromise No turning back for me But through the vail of my pride Sometimes it's hard to see And I know your love is all I need So when I fall don't stop believing in me 'cause your love is what's helpin' me survive Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive And without your love Where would I be now Well I know your love is worth fightin' for And if it takes forever I will wait at your door 'cause your love is what's helpin' me survive Your faith in me is what keeps my hope alive And without your love |

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)
Day by day One by one They plant the seeds of doubt But far too many have come this far For me to turn back now I wanna build upon it... One by one We must believe a change will come somehow 'cause far too many lay down their lives For me to give up now I wanna build upon it... One world we leave behind One truth that lights the way This dream depends upon how we live today |

(Michael McDonald And Tommy Sims)
We're lost, baby that's ok We may not always understand We may not always know the way We can cry and we can hurt sometimes But we both know what's important At the end of the line It's not always the case that we know just what to do But when it comes to me and you [Chorus:] We've both been here before So let love open up the door What love will surely show us Ain't that what we came here for? So let love open the door Maybe it's time that we hold on tight In each others embrace We might just see the morning light 'cause when we touch It's like a brand new start It's there we find the music in each others heart And we might just discover that we don't always see what's for real Love is somethin' that you feel [Chorus] We've both been here before So let love open up the door What love will surely show us Ain't that what we came here for? It ain't nothin' new Just a chance to finally see this love through This love has one purpose (and) Never asks for anything more So let love open the door Sometimes words only mean so much They don't say how we feel They don't keep us in touch It's too late once we drift apart All that's left are the pieces of two broken hearts [Chorus] Amy sings... Love is sweet, love is kind Love will open up your mind Let love open up the door All that counts, nothin' more Love is what we came here for |

(Michael McDonald And Chester Thompson)
From a house comes the sound of an infant crying People stand and stare at the door They dare not go in Where a child lies sobbing beside a lifeless body Trying in vain to awaken the mother within This chain of death has so many faces From the frightened man to the pitiful child Where is our deliverance here? Will this not pass over? [Chorus:] I won't go back to Kikwit Town I won't go back I won't go back to Kikwit Town I won't go back They would not give us my father's body The men in orange suits started gathering 'round They asked the names of all who live here As they threw him down in hole and burned his house down What have we done to deserve this? God's wrath has surely come He lets the devil walk among us He lets death into our homes Where is our deliverance here From this demon loosed upon us? [Chorus] Is it not enough we live in this squalor? Is it not enough these sacrifices we make? Are we not entitled to some mercy On this short journey we take? [Chorus] They said come down and answer all our questions It's best for all if I turn myself in But I know as sure as I walk through that hospital door I will never see daylight again What have we done to deserve this? God's wrath has surely come He lets the devil walk among us He lets death into our homes Where is our deliverance here From this demon loosed upon us? |

(Neil Young)
Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby There's no reason for you to hide It's so hard for me standin' here all alone When you could be takin' me for a ride Ooh la la la She could drag me over the rainbow And take me away Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Dead Take my hand, I'll take your hand baby Together we might get away This much madness is too much sorrow It's impossible to make it today Ooh la la la She could drag me over the rainbow And take me away Down by the river I shot my baby Down by the river Dead Be on my side, I'll be on your side baby There's no reason for you to hide It's so hard for me standin' here all alone When you could be takin' me for a ride Ooh la la la She could drag me over the rainbow And take me away Down by the river I shot my baby |

(Michael McDonald And Bernie Chiaravalle)
Behind us now lies a long bending road And at this point we wonder what we need to be All this way like a single heart Just so you know nothings really changed for me For so long I watched you shine your light I know hope is hard to find right now (but) Someday you will Someday you will In every life the darkest days seem so long Till the fear fades like the waning tide The mornin' comes when the din in your head subsides Just enough for the quiet voice inside To point the way to the place where your strength lies Though it might take a while to find Someday you will... On that day you'll spread your wings and fly Although now you may not know why |

(William Robinson, Warren Moore, Marvin Tarplin And Robert Rodgers)
You do me wrong and still I'm crazy 'bout you Stay away too long and I can't do without you Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more But each hurt just makes my love stronger than before I know flowers grow through rain But how can love grow through pain Ain't that peculiar A peculiarity Ain't that peculiar baby Peculiar as can be You tell me lies that should be obvious to me But I'm in so much love with you baby that I don't want to see That the things you do and say are designed to make me blue It's a doggone shame my love for you makes all your lies seem true If the truth makes love last longer Why do lies make love stronger Ain't that peculiar A peculiarity Ain't that peculiar baby |

(Michael McDonald And John Scott Sherrill)
You if anyone should know what time will tell Not so long ago you taught me oh so well Now your time has come Someone took your place (there's) no need to tell me that he's gone ('cause) I can read it on your face You learned that you could dream every night You can try all you like You can pray every day that it's enough You can hope all you want It's something to hang your faith on But you can't make it love There's no way love can grow If only one is true I would think that you should know After all, I learned this from you No matter how much one's in love As long as one is lying There ain't no amount of tears There ain't no amount of trying You learned that you could dream every night You can try all you like You can pray every day that it's enough You can hope all you want It's something to hang your faith on |
