Verse
I know the day soon is coming
When all the pain will end
But till then I'll pray
And extend out my hand
Verse
I know that you're wondering
When the war will be done
Hold on it's coming
The wings of life will come
Chorus
To take away the pain
And renew the day
Peace will be here again
And the wings of life will be spread
Verse
Don't you worry
Don't you fret
And try not to forget
We're not left alone
The wings of life will go
Chorus
To take away the pain
And renew the day
Peace will be here again
And wings of life will be spread

Rescue Our Nation
07:54

|
Verse
The lady that holds a torch
She welcomes all to her porch
Weary eyed travelers smile
They've been traveling for a while
To escape from where there used to be
To get to the land of the free
And give to their posterity
But soon they find through what people say
That it's really not quite the same
That they've heard about through all its fame
Pre Chorus
It's not the same as it used to be
The land of the free
Chorus
Please rescue our nation
Spare us in your patience
Show us how
We need you now
Post Chorus
We have a grip of vice
And we're turning cold as ice
Verse
The prices that have been paid
And all the gifts that have been laid
The people that server her well
They do their best I can tell
But do we know that they do
To protect the red, white, and blue
And see us on our days through
Do we really understand
Just exactly where they stand
To lend us all a helping hand
Pre Chorus
I don't think we quite understand
The importance of this given land
Chorus
Please rescue our nation
Spare us in your patience
Show us how we need you now
Post Chorus
We have a grip of vice
And we're turning cold as ice
We're starting to rust
And we're turning to dust
We know you can
So please rescue us
Post Solo
Show us how
We need you now
We have a grip of vice
And we're turning cold as ice
We're starting to rust
And we're turning to dust
We know you can
So please rescue us

There's a time and a place
That it seems you are running a race
So many paths you can take
And so many choices to make

I'm here to say
I'll help you on your way

Show you there's nothing that we can't do

Verse
I know it's hard what to believe
With all the pictures it's hard to see
A clear road is here
Even though it's hard to see it appear
Pre Chorus
You think that it's hard
Finding where to start
Chorus
I'll lead you through
Show you there's nothing that we can't do
Take my hand
I'll get you through this forsaken land
Pre Chorus
I'm here to say
I'll help you on your way
Chorus
I'll lead you through
Show you there's nothing that we can't do

Blue Train
05:12
|
|||
|
Verse
Overcome by grief
Hoped that it would be brief
Fight my way through despair
I don't know if anyone cares
Been riding this blue train
All through the day
I need to climb off
I hope that it will stop
Oh I know I've been riding too long
For so long now I can't see the good things
Chorus
My ticket's been claimed
Had to fight through the rain
Climb off that blue train
Verse
Well I've seen red trains
I've seen green trains
Yellow and white trains
Push through the rain
But I'm stuck in a rut
I think I've had enough
I haven't seen the sun
Shine on me a ton
It's been too long too long now
So long now I haven't seen the sunshine
Chorus
My ticket's been claimed
Had to fight through the rain
Climb off that blue train
Chorus
My ticket was claimed
Had to fight through the rain
Climbed off that blue train
My ticket's been claimed
Had to fight through the rain
Climb off that blue train

A Place I've Been Before
05:58
|
|||
|
Verse
The night begins to fall
The time for getting rest for all
Then I just close my eyes
And then I begin to visualize
Bridge
And then I see you
Standing right there
And it seems as though
You're floating on the air
And i am filled with fear
Verse
Then you, you take my hand
And lead me to a far and distant land
Then we, are warmly welcomed
And it seems as though that I never left my home
Bridge
And then they take me
Lovingly in their arms
And I know that
They mean no harm
It's a place I've been before
You tried to open up the door
And you've picked me up off the floor
To a place I've been before
Verse
The morning begins to rise
And I open my eyes
I will never
Forget that we will be together forever
Bridge
And you will always
Be here in my heart
And it seems as though
We never were apart
In a place I've been before
I'll try to open up that door
And I'll get up off the floor
To a place I've been before
Outro
I remember you
You remember me
We both can see
That we will both be free at last

I've been waiting
In these lost days of mine
Waiting for a moment
To leave it all behind

I've been staying
My hand against my fate
Hoping and wishing

I've heard what people say
But, I need someone today
Yes, I need someone to
Show me the way

Now I see
The one to lead me on
Standing in the distance
To help me be strong

I've heard what people say
And, I've found someone today
Yes, I've found someone to
Show me the way

Living With Purpose

|
Verse
I've lived my life in ways I can't describe
I sometimes wonder if it was all a waste of time
Chorus
But, I can see clearly, clearly now
I found a reason somehow
A simple reason that's all it took
And I know I am
Living with purpose
Verse
I think I spent days and time lost on a railroad track
Now I that I am glad for, for what I have
Chorus
But, I can see clearly, clearly now
I found a reason somehow
A simple reason that's all it took
And I know I am
Living with purpose

Paternal Advice
06:56

Verse
Jimmy was a growing young man
In a world that's hard to understand
He always did well in school
And he knew he was nobody's fool
Pre Chorus
For all the things that are absurd
He knew he had his father's word
To teach him how to deal with what you're served
He was on his father's side
He believed that he was right
To help him tell between truth and lies
He'd show what it means
To be a man
Chorus
That's not the way to be a man
I hope that you'll try and understand
It doesn't matter how much money you make
Or even that the time it might take you today
You see life isn't easy
It wears on you
I know this to be true
But, wherever you go, Son
I'll always love you
Verse
Jimmy was out late one night
Even though he know it wasn't right
Climbed into the car with his best friend
And it seemed like the night would never end
Pre Chorus
Unfortunately things were just as such
He ran into a semi-truck
And he knew that he was out of luck
He knew he'd have to answer to someone
Dad, you can't believe what I have done
I can't believe you still call me your son
But, would you please show what it means to be a man
Chorus
That's not the way to be a man
I hope that you'll try to understand
It doesn't matter if you crash the car
Or even if you don't get real far
You see life isn't easy
It wears on you
I know this to be true
But, wherever you go, Son
I'll always love you
Bridge
Hold your children close
Time comes but then it goes
Remember that their yours to hold
'Cause before you know it they've all grown
Chorus
That's not the way to be a man
I hope that you'll try to understand
It doesn't matter if you crash the car
Or even if you don't get real far
You see life isn't easy
It wears on you
I know this to be true
But, wherever you go, Son
I'll always love you

Verse
You're sitting on your sofa bed
Watching old MTV tapes of your TV set
You've got a flashy car
But, you don't like to take it very far
Chorus
You've been sittin' to long
I know it must be wrong
I've got somethin' to get you groovin'
So come on and get movin'
Verse
You've always lived a slacker's life
But, you don't want to put up with all the strife
You've shirked responsibility
But, you think the world owes you its royalties
Chorus
You've been sittin' to long
I know it must be wrong
I've got somethin' to get you groovin'
So come on and get movin'
Chorus
You've been sittin' to long
I know it must be wrong
I've got somethin' to get you groovin'
So come on and get movin'

Verse
Please don't send me away
I wouldn't live another day
Won't please forgive me
Can't you see that's what I need
Chorus
I wanna be taken back
I know now what I lack
How can I refuse
Can't you see I've got nothin' to lose
Verse
I know I've done wrong
That's why I'm telling you in this song
This is my apology
I'm admitting my folly
Chorus
I wanna be taken back
I know now what I lack
How can I refuse
Can't you see I've got nothin' to lose
