All That You See
Verse
When you look to the night sky
Ill be the glow from the star That Catches your eye
When you walk along the beach
Ill be the salt air that kisses your cheek
PreChorus
When you drive when the top rolled down
Ill be the wind that blows your hair around
Chorus
Ill be the sun shower raining down
Be the fall leaf that falls to the ground
Ill be the cold breeze on an August day
The sun reflecting diamonds that dance on the sea
I will be ...... A part of All that you see
When you walk in the garden in springtime
Ill be sweet smell of the jasmine you pass by
When you wake to see the sun rise
Ill be the golden rays that peak from the cloud sides
And when you crawl in your bed to sleep
Ill be the coolness of your sheets
Ill be the sun shower raining down
Be the fall leaf that falls to the ground
Ill be the cold breeze on an August day
The sun reflecting diamonds that dance on the sea
I will be ...... A part of All that you see
When you reach for your dreams in your life
Ill be the steps on the ladder you climb
Ill be the sun shower raining down
Be the fall leaf that falls to the ground
Ill be the cold breeze on an August day
The sun reflecting diamonds that dance on the sea
When you need to speak the truth for what's right
Ill be the words that you hear in your mind
When the winds of the world knock you down
Ill be the strength that pulls you from the ground
Oh Ill will be
A part of All that you see

Waiting

If I could walk in your shoes
Wonder what would i do
Would I change all the things that you did wrong
or do the same things too
If you could stand in my place
Would I not feel the same rage
would I Stand by your reasons
Down play trust and treason
And Rise above the pain
Imagine yourself On a boat a drift
on the Coast of nowhere
No sails to catch the breeze
To guide you home,
What would you do
Be a better man, try to understand
Overlook my pain
Take the higher road, bear the heavy load
Release all the blame
I can reach out let go some how
Forget what I know
One thing I can't do.....Keep waiting for you
If you could go back in time
Would you still put you before I
Or would you stare your fear in the eye
Stand up for what is right
At least showed me you tried.
Imagine yourself
On a boat off the
Coast of nowhere
No sails to catch the breeze
To guide you home,
What would you do
Be a better man, try to understand
Overlook my pain
Take the higher road, bear the heavy load
Release all the blame
reach out to you let go some how
Forget what I knew
One thing I can't do
Keep waiting for you
Will I change the way you look at me
Regret what we came to be
And Can the past be left behind
only if we face the truth
What would you do....
Be a better man, try to understand
Overlook my pain
Take the higher road, bear the heavy load
Release all the blame
reach out to you let go some how
Forget what I knew
One thing I can't do
Keep waiting for you

Man walks to the corner, kid in tow
got a sign that reads 3 bedroom must go
Just reduced is my american dream
all my blood sweat and tears are yours for the cheap
And is boy looks up with a tear in his eye
why we got to leave home tonight
Son Ill tell you
Sometimes things dont go your way
Sometimes the system fails you
leaves you out in the rain
Sometimes things dont go your way
remember there is always someone
worse than you today
Boy turns 18 and he is off to war
wanna pay for college make em all safe back home
just 3 days till his second tour would end
gave his life for another soldier and a friend
And mamma if your reading this today
Know I gave my life in a noble way and remember
Sometimes things dont go your way
sometimes good men die and the bad ones get away
Sometimes things dont go your way
remember there is always someone worse than you today
The next time your feeling down in low
always know
theres someone above you and someone surely below
Born in Haiti shes just ten years old
Aids took her mom and dad a long time a go
Raises her siblings the best that she can
Eating clay for hunger pains
drinking dirty water From her hands
And she looks up with hopeless in her eyes
wonders why god gave her this life
its hard to tell her
Sometimes things dont go your way
sometimes good fortune fails you
and your born in the wrong place
Sometimes things dont go your way
remember there is always someone worse than you today

Catching Stones

Some people throw the stones
Make sure the top stays cleared for their own
Those same folks hold the keys
To most opportunity
Others folks they mean real good
Dont do much but know that they should
When push comes to shove You'll find
most turn run and hide
Life will teach you when your down
The view from above ain't the same underground
We need....
Less people throwing, More people catching stones
Less people wanting more
Less people wanting, more people giving more
More people catching
Catching stones
Most sit by and watch the game
Afraid their glass house can't bare the weight
when masses rest on the weak
Put yourself in line of fate
The other end the stone catchers creed
Help the fallen rise to their feet
When hope seems a lifetime away
Bring healing to the pain.
Life will teach you when your down
The drowning feeling with no one around
We need....
Less people throwing, More people catching stones
Less people wanting more
Less people wanting, more people giving more
More people catching
Catching stones
We need....
Less people throwing, More people catching stones
Less people wanting more
Less people wanting, more people giving more
More people catching
Catching stones

A Little More
Verse
my roof a canopy of of trees
front door a life goes on open road
like fear the cold runs thru me
from the floor of a vinyl tent tomb
Like a frayed life line i unravel
Lucid thoughts become fewer every day
And hope starts to fade away
I hurt a little more
I bleed a little more
I lose a little more
In my life
I want a little more
I need a little more
Deserve a little more
from this life
Just like you Im not perfect
I know ive made mistakes along the way
But does that make me deserving
of this hell that i face
the difference between us
is closer than you might think
road to nowhere is lined with
good souls who lost their way
When the light starts to fade to grey
Chorus
I hurt a little more
I bleed a little more
I lose a little more
In my life
I want a little more
I need a little more
Deserve a little more
from this life
I hurt a little more
I bleed a little more
I lose a little more
of my life\
I want a little more
I need a little more
I deserve a little more
From this life
Bridge
~IM a doctor, im a teacher, im a veteran, Im a saint
Im your son, your father, Im your grandmother who prays to God everyday
Im not a user, not a abuser, not a quiter or a fake
Surly not deserving of this fate
Chorus
The places I come from
you pretend to know
And life starts to fade away.

Youll Be Fine
Verse
There's no magic potion for you
Cant tell you much to do( teach any voodoo to do
If I said I figured em out I'd be lyin
You see they are a different breed
Son they ain't like you and me
More complex , but more inspiring
PreChorus
They'll say a lot more than you
Tell ya what you should and shouldn't do
, but dont give up, just keep on trying
Chorus
Take her on a walk for two
maybe stroll down park avenue)
Treat her like a lady and you'll be fine
Hold her hand whenever you can
Pull out her chair every now and then
Treat her like a lady and you'll be fine
Verse
Take her for a picnic one day
Surprise her with a little bouquet
Never dismiss the silly things she'll say
Kiss her before she brushes her teeth
Say she's pretty before-she-makes up her face
Make her believe she in the right place
PreChorus
They see things differently
Their thoughts will stay a mystery
Just keep your head up and keep smiling
Chorus
Take her on a walkfor two
maybe (stroll down park avenue)
Treat her like a lady and you'll be fine
Hold her hand whenever you can
Pull out her chair every(more than) now and then
Treat her like a lady and you'll be fine
Verse
One more little truth for you
,be kind and always stay true
Think Of your mom and sister
when you think of being rude

Verse
like the day when we first met
You and I were supposed to be just friends
Starting falling for you then
like the night when we first kissed
Massage gone to far On the floor of my apartment
I fell in love with you then
Chorus
I wanna fall in love with you again
I wanna fall in love with you again
Verse
like the year we drove across the country
23, so full....of discovery
I fell in love with you then
Like the night in San Francisco
No time. for the sights. more-to -see in our hotel room
O I fell in love with you again
I wanna fall in love with you again
I wanna fall in love with you again
Blue skies , souls united by the sea
A vow of promise till the end of eternity
I fell in love with you then
A Rainy night ,spring of o five
Humbled-by-your-courage to bring a child into our life
I fell in love with you then.
I wanna fall in love with you again
I wanna fall in love with you again
Chorus
