Are You Prepared?
Not Necessarily So
We are on this journey Endlessly searching For a sense of purpose And a source of some fulfillment yeah
It’s kind of like when we were mining For that little precious diamond And when we finally found it You know it wasn’t what we had in mind
We hold on To what we know When letting go would makes the difference yeah
Is what we want What we need Or not necessarily so Did you ever notice How we think we know Which way the wind will blow us Instead we just end up somewhere else
Chorus
We’re stuck in our ways cause were used to it Some say you can’t teach an old dog any new tricks And if you have ever considered this You might as well lay down and play dead

Stunning
I am stumbling on my own two feet But you’re so stunning that I can’t find the words to speak What in the world now can I say? That won’t give me away What in the world now can I do? To get in good with you
Call me, honey, when will I see you again Call me, lonely, when will I ever see you again
I was wondering, do I ever cross your mind girl One in one hundred, but I’ll still take those odds, and defy What in the world now can I say? You’re driving me insane What in the world now can I do? I’m still in love with you and all you have to do is
So here we are after all these years Under all these scars our hearts still want to feel I never got your messages, I thought you loved me but I’m second guessing it And your beauty’s got me stunned The cat has got my tongue Seeing you is like someone’s gone and Ripped the breath from out my lungs My eyes they say too much, because your love is all I want I somehow muster up the strength to get the words from out my mouth and I say ...
Call me honey, when will I see you again Call me lonely, when will I ever see you again
I am stumbling on my own two feet But you’re so stunning that I can’t find the words to speak What in the world now can I say? That won’t give me away What in the world now can I do? To get in good with you

Street Corner
I am giving up right now Let this song remind me how How to let go of you All the words you wished you said Resound with in your head As the tears begin to fall
But if I pass you on a random street corner Girl will you look my way or let your eyes just wonder How did it get this far, my dreams of who you are Up on your pedestal, but I will always take the fall
I had to take the chance I hope you understand Sometimes it’s better if you fall
Chorus
A Part of you I can’t escape This dream I built, my saving grace I love you girl but I know it’s not real Truth be told, I don’t care anymore because I’m in love with the idea
Chorus

Run Away
With so much at stake, it’s hard to take
It all in stride which used to get me by
Wet set our goals and then we chase
And hope our bodies keep up with our minds
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
So many run away from their destiny
But you can only run so far, so fast, for so long You’ll see
So much that’s great comes from mistakes
Some try a thousand times before they get it right
But we all want to make our mark
Have history set our names apart
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
Chorus
Why is that you keep running away
When you know you’re better off if you stay?
With so much at stake, it’s hard to take
It all in stride which used to get me by
Wet set our goals and then we chase
And hope our bodies keep up with our minds
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
So many run away from their destiny
But you can only run so far, so fast, for so long You’ll see
So much that’s great comes from mistakes
Some try a thousand times before they get it right
But we all want to make our mark
Have history set our names apart
Some of us move fast
Others we go slow
Some of us don’t know
Which direction we should go
Chorus
Why is that you keep running away
When you know you’re better off if you stay?
Crime and Punishment
I watch the clock unwind Each second is the distance Between judgment and the crime You know as well as I
That what you do comes back to you
At some point in your life
And we try to find the meaning of it all And sometimes we’re right, sometimes were wrong
And we try to find the meaning of it all
And sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall
Deny, and try to rationalize
And wonder why the outcome differs than what we had in mind You know somewhere inside
There’s a prior time When you denied another loving girl Now you’re worried what the jury will find
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise
And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
I watch the clock unwind Each second is the distance Between judgment and the crime You know as well as I
That what you do comes back to you
At some point in your life
And we try to find the meaning of it all And sometimes we’re right, sometimes were wrong
And we try to find the meaning of it all
And sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall
Deny, and try to rationalize
And wonder why the outcome differs than what we had in mind You know somewhere inside
There’s a prior time When you denied another loving girl Now you’re worried what the jury will find
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
Chorus
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright And we rise, and we rise, and we rise
And decline and decline and decline
And then we rise again
Always Waiting
Say lovely lady why you always run away
There will come a day when you know that you are going to stay Girl, you know you’ll stay
See you and me girl we got certain chemistry Sort of feels like an overload of sensories You’re like a dose of ecstasy
Always I’m waiting for the day when you will see How much I love you just for you
Could you love me for me? Nothing else means anything, without you here with me You’re everything
You’re the only thing I need
Say pretty baby why you play your silly games
Give me a little taste to see if I will take the bait
Before you go hide away
Chorus
My heart can only hold for so long I don’t know if I can keep waiting for you
Why can’t I just move on How long will you keep me here waiting?
Chorus
Say lovely lady why you always run away

Comfort of the Sideline
Flashback, hijack When planes attacked
They came with a fury
The sky in flames
Our world was changed It’s coming around again
Think back
Where you were at
When terror came to our country
We felt like jerks
And went to work
But turned on our TV’s
Mostly we can’t be bothered
It’s only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it’s onto, onto tomorrow
Come one, come all
They call, they claim
We all better hurry
To go to war, what for, not sure
But they’re sure we should go
They draw a line
We pick a side but it’s blurry
Then we watch the news
And change our views
And all it proves is that
Chorus
We send our children, send our children to the frontline
And sit on couches, making comments, reading headlines
While they’re stuck in trenches getting caught between the cross fire
We passing judgment from the comfort of the sideline Comfort of the Sideline
Flashback, hijack When planes attacked
They came with a fury
The sky in flames
Our world was changed It’s coming around again
Think back
Where you were at
When terror came to our country
We felt like jerks
And went to work
But turned on our TV’s
Mostly we can’t be bothered
It’s only our sons and daughters
Swallow the pain and sorrow
And it’s onto, onto tomorrow
Come one, come all

But they’re sure we should go

Then we watch the news
And change our views
And all it proves is that
Chorus
We send our children, send our children to the frontline
And sit on couches, making comments, reading headlines
While they’re stuck in trenches getting caught between the cross fire
We passing judgment from the comfort of the sideline Comfort of the Sideline
Faith I
t’s going to take one hell of a plan
To reach a global consciousness
Some people take, they put out their hands
And never like to give back again
The sickness is the bitterness
We’re looking for the medicine
The problem is when we invest
That we expect a dividend
Right away without delay
A product of the world today
Did you hear your mother say that
Something good is worth the wait
It just takes a little Faith
But how can you see it If you don’t believe in it in the first place It all can start today
When you believe
You’ll see a bit goes a long way
It’s going to take one hell of a man
To come and lead us to the promised land
But don’t you think that he could use a hand
Get to your feet now, so we can stand together
The sickness is the laziness
We’re looking for the medicine
The problem is when we invest
That we expect a dividend
Right away without delay
A product of the world today
The sinister will be erased And sinners can turn into saints
Chorus

Smoke
Hear it coming out
Out of her mouth Like buildings go down
They fall, they crash, they burn to the ground
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love yeah
To watch what you built Crumble apart
Till nothing’s left but smoke round here
Burning up in my eyes dear
Fill them up with all these tears
Nothing’s left but smoke round here
Watch her walk on out
Out of you house It’s like a thief cleaned you out
Of all your love, on the bed, on the floor and on the couch
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love
To watch what you built
Crumble apart
Chorus
You’re not alright Barely Alive Cause something has died before its time
Somehow it got swallowed in the fire
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love
To watch what you built Crumble apart
Chorus
Hear it coming out
Out of her mouth Like buildings go down
They fall, they crash, they burn to the ground
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love yeah
To watch what you built Crumble apart
Till nothing’s left but smoke round here
Burning up in my eyes dear
Fill them up with all these tears
Nothing’s left but smoke round here
Watch her walk on out
Out of you house It’s like a thief cleaned you out
Of all your love, on the bed, on the floor and on the couch
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love
To watch what you built

You’re not alright Barely Alive Cause something has died before its time
Somehow it got swallowed in the fire
And it’s breaking your heart
Cause you gave it all your love
To watch what you built Crumble apart

Are You Prepared?
I’m all in When I go all out
What you put in Is what you bound to get
Out of nowhere
Here comes that rushing in doubt
Are you prepared to ride this one out?
Are you prepared to fight for it?
Will you duck and run and hide
Are you prepared to fight for it?
Are you prepared to ride it out
You zone in
You got your target in site
You’re nearly there
But then you want to give up
In the air is where
This one ends up
Cause we all know almost is not enough
Chorus
There’s a storm, you’re afraid
To go outside
So you watch it from your window pain
What a shame
To spend your days
Wondering what you could have been
If you changed
And you’re sure that you could if you had another chance today Would you be ready?
Chorus
I’m all in When I go all out

Shadow
A devil calls your name from somewhere within
You try to turn away but it pulls you in
Just like the current
Your emotions like the ocean swelling overflowing
The storm’s getting big
The fear it comes in waves It’s like you’re stuck in place
Ands its sink or its swim
No matter where you go or what you do
Your shadow paints the room it follows you
Your actions can’t be erased is your conscious clear?
Your shadow can’t be replaced cause it’s always hear
You get to pacing, your heart racing, eyes start dilating
Heart is racing from what you’re facing
Now your world is a cage
In this here rat rat race
And it’s kill or be killed
Chorus
If you seek redemption
You must go through the gate
The only place where you face your fate
If at first you don’t succeed
Try, try, try, try again
Cause the only way out is to let the light in ...let the light in
A devil calls your name from somewhere within
You try to turn away but it pulls you in
Just like the current
Your emotions like the ocean swelling overflowing
The storm’s getting big
The fear it comes in waves It’s like you’re stuck in place
Ands its sink or its swim
No matter where you go or what you do
Your shadow paints the room it follows you
Your actions can’t be erased is your conscious clear?
Your shadow can’t be replaced cause it’s always hear
You get to pacing, your heart racing, eyes start dilating
Heart is racing from what you’re facing
Now your world is a cage
In this here rat rat race
And it’s kill or be killed
Chorus
If you seek redemption
You must go through the gate
The only place where you face your fate
If at first you don’t succeed
Try, try, try, try again
Cause the only way out is to let the light in ...let the light in
As Above, So Below
For Shalom
So the story goes, so the story goes
I came upon a man about a couple years ago
He wasn’t very old but he seemed to know
All the wonders of the world and the workings of the soul
He told me ...Start to finish, light is in us
Life is precious so live for the moment
Take a minute, really live it
Push your limits, get out of your comfort zone
It’s how I lift my soul
And rise above when I sink below It’s how I lift my soul
As above, so below
He took by the hand, asked me what I wanted to know I wasn’t really sure but knew I needed more If you want it all, what are you waiting for
But you got to take the seeds, plant them, then you’ve got to help them grow
Start to finish, light is in us
Life is precious so I live for the moment
Take a minute, really live it
Push your limits and get out of your comfort zone
It’s how I lift my soul
And rise above when I sink below It’s how I lift my soul
As above, so below
The seeds you planted they all became trees
Roots in the dirt
Eventually revealed new seeds
Fruits of your work
It’s how I lift my soul
And rise above when I sink below It’s how I lift my soul
As above, so below
For Shalom
So the story goes, so the story goes
