Take Me For A Little While

written by John Williams

Now my days are growing cold,
All the memories unfold,
Thinking about the friends we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost,
Now my days are growing cold.

I can hardly wait any longer,
Now the feeling's growing stronger,
Thinking about the times we had,
Good times always turning to bad,
Now my days are growing cold.

Why don't you take me for a little while?
Sing the songs you know will make me smile?
Why don't you take me for a little while?

As I watch the rising Sun,
I see a new day just begun,
Thinking about the sacrifice,
Wondering how to pay the price,
Now my World is growing cold.

Why don't you take me for a little while?
Sing the songs you know will make me smile?
Make me smile...
Why don't you take me for a little while?

So now my days are growing cold,
All my memories been told,
Thinking about the dreams we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost,
Now my days are growing cold.

Why don't you take me for a little while?
Sing the songs you know will make me smile?
Why don't you take me for a little while?
Sing the songs you know will,
Make me,
Make me,
Make me smile!

Somebody please take me...

Knowing Burns

written by John Williams, Brett Hesla, & Deacon

Searching for the right phrase,
Put a name on this new hate,
I rub my eyes and I still can't see,
I'm blind in a new way.

I cower on this shelter I've made.

Supposed to call me a "New Man",
I'm busy making a new plan,
I think I lost myself at Sea,
I'll send a rescue when I can.

Although there's not much left of see.

And still these words ring through,
To your own self be true,
And careful what you learn,
Cause sometimes knowing burns.

Sometimes knowing burns...

Strike what I found a New Age,
Not sure that we're on the same page,
The way this whole thing looks to me,
I could win at a Snail's Pace.

So many times I should have stayed.

And still these words ring through,
To your own self be true,
And careful what you learn,
Cause sometimes knowing burns.

And still these words ring through,
To your own self be true,
And careful what you learn,
Cause sometimes knowing burns.

And still these words ring through,
To your own self be true,
And careful what you learn,
Cause sometimes knowing burns.

In A Darkened Room

written by John Williams & Greg Michie

In a darkened room,
Beyond the reach of God's Faith,
Lays the wounded,
The shattered remains of Love betrayed.

Where the Innocence,
Of a child is bought and sold,
In the Name of the Damned,
The Rage of the Angels left silent and cold.

Forgive me please,
For I know not what I do!
How can I keep inside,
The hurt I know is true?

So tell me when the Kiss of Love becomes a lie,
Does it bare the scar the skin so deep,
To hide behind this Fear of running into you?
Please let there be light in a darkened room!

All the precious times,
Have been put to rest again,
And the smile of a Dawn,
Brings tainted Lust into my requiem.

Can I face the day,
When I'm tourted in my trust?
And watch it crystalize,
While my Salvation,
It crumbles to dust?

Why can't I see the ship,
Before it hits the storm?
I'm falling into the Sea,
But still I swim for shore!

Tell me when the Kiss of Love becomes a lie,
Does it bare the scar the skin so deep,
To hide behind this Fear of running into you,
Please let there be light in a darkened room!

Hunting High And Low

written by John Williams

Here I am,
And within the reach of my hands,
She's sound asleep,
And she's sweeter now,
Than the wildest dream,
Could've seen her,
And I watch her slipping away.

For I know I'll be hunting high and low,
There's no end to the lengths I'll go too,
Hunting high and low,
There's no end to the lengths I'll go.

To find her again,
Upon this my dreams are depending,
Through the dark,
I sense the pounding of her heart,
Next to mine,
She's the sweetest love I could find.

So I guess I'll be hunting high and low,
There's no end to the lengths I'll go too,
High and low,
Do you know what it means to love you?

I'm hunting high and low,
And now she's telling me,
She's got to go away!

I'll be hunting high and low,
Hungry for you,
And now she's telling me,
Watch me tearing myself to peices.

Hunting high and low,
There's no end to the lengths I'll go too,
For you I'll be hunting high and low.

What About You

written by Greg Michie, John Williams, Brian Howe, & Terry Thomas

There's something about you,
That I can't let go,
Your spell is unbroken,
And it hurts to know.

I can feel you,
And I can touch you,
Your memory surrounds me.

What about you?
Little Darling...
What about you?

Living without you,
Is a long hard climb,
And just when I'm over it,
I see a friend of mine.

He said he saw you,
And how he's sure you,
You'll bring us still together.

What about you?
Hey Little Darling...
What about you?

What about you?
Little Darling...
What about you?

They said that we were dreamers,
Chasing some Illusion,
But something came between us,
And broke it all in two.

I can feel you,
And I can touch you,
You brought us back together!

What about you?
Little Darling...
What about you?

What about you?
Little Darling...
What about you?

I Could Never Be Without You

written by John Williams

I hope you see,
It will be alright,
Make love to me,
But make it all night.

To touch your touch,
To feel your feel,
Your body's next to mine,
To hear you'll always stay with me,
Until the end of time.

I could never be without you,
I could never live alone,
I would be a friend forever,
Just keep me from life on my own.

I don't know how,
I ever found love,
Right up till now,
There was no sound, Love.

Please don't fear a thing about us,
Just believe in me,
If you ever fear you doubt us,
Let me make you see.

I could never be without you,
I could never live alone,
I would be a friend forever,
Just keep me from life on my own.

I could never be without you,
I could never ever be,
I could never live alone,
I could never live alone,
I could be a friend forever,
Just keep me from life on my own.

I could never be without you,
I could never live alone,
I would be a friend forever,
Just keep me from life on my own.

Blue Pastures

written by John Williams

Blue pastures fade away,
Green Rivers in silver light,
I'm walking to the sound of distant bells,
So peaceful that I don't know who I am.

And just when I think it's clear,
It turns so Grey again,
And I wonder who will find me in the snow,
And just when I thought I was free,
I got pulled in again,
Once you're in,
You're in!

Blue Pastures calling home,
I'm walking but I can't stand anymore,
Hear voices but I can't tell from near or far,
Wierd voices lay me down.

And I don't see why I'm "obliged" to just carry on,
When everything I touch turns out wrong!
And I feel I've commited some Crime,
But I don't know what I've done,
One day Life just wins,
One day Life just wins!

Still breathing but I'm tired and I wanna go home!
Still breathing but I'm sure anymore!
Still breathing but it doesn't really matter if I fade away!
Fall into the sleep!
Fall into the deep!

It Can't Rain All The Time

written by Jane Salisbury

We walk the Narrow Path beneath the Smoking Skies. Sometimes we can barely tell the difference between the Darkness and Light. Do we have "Faith" in what we believe?! The truest test is when we cannot... when I cannot see.

I hear the pounding feet,
In the streets below,
And the women cry,
And the children moan,
And there's something wrong,
It's hard to believe in love with revenge.

It won't rain all the time,
The sky won't fall forever,
And though the night seems long,
Your tears won't fall forever.

When I'm lonely,
I lay awake at night,
And I wish you were here,
I miss you,
Can you tell me,
Is there something more to believe in,
Or is this all there is?

And the pounding feet,
In the streets below,
And a window breaks,
And a woman falls,
And there's something wrong,
It's hard to believe in love with revenge.

It won't rain all the day,
The sky won't fall forever,
And though the night seems long,
Your tears won't fall,
Your tears won't fall,
Your tears won't fall forever.

Last night I had a dream, you came into my room and took me into your arms. And whispered in my ear and telling me to still believe. But then the emptiness of you leaving me fell into the darkness of our broken hearts until I felt safe and warm. I fell asleep in your arms. And then I awoke and cried again for you were gone. Can you hear me?

It won't rain all the time,
The sky won't fall forever,
And though the night seems long,
Your tears won't fall forever.

It won't rain all the time,
The sky won't fall forever,
And though the night seems long,
Your tears won't fall,
Your tears won't fall,
Your tears won't fall forever.

My Only One

written by John Williams & Greg Michie

I,
I miss you,
I,
I can't resist you.

I need you like the Sun needs the day,
Oh please won't you come back again?

Line by line,
So many pages I write,
I can't find the words,
To tell you how I feel tonight.

Without you my heart would fade away,
I need you like the Sun needs the day.

Cause you are my only one,
After all that we've been through,
Each step that I take,
It leads me back to you,
And I am the lucky one,
Right here in this place,
The light in your face,
Is brighter than the Sun,
Cause Baby you are my only one.

Come now,
Come closer my sweet child,
Lay your,
Your weary head to rest awhile.

Your love is like the wind that fills my sails,
Your touch gives me a faith that cannot fail.

Cause you are my only one,
After all that we've been through,
Each step that I take,
It leads me back to you,
And I am the lucky one,
Right here in this place,
The light in your face,
Is brighter than the Sun,
Cause Baby you are my only one.

My only one,
My only one.

Surround Me

written by John Williams, Jess Rickettes, & Greg Michie

There's a picture on my wall,
A crack in the ceiling,
Cigarrette burns in my hall,
I get the feeling,
That you surround me.

If I die a thousand times,
My soul walks beside me,
I will never be alone,
You're always inside me,
And you surround me.

You surround me,
You surround me,
You surround me,
You surround me.

Mother's Pride

written by John Williams

She knows,
She takes his hand,
And prays the child will understand,
At the door they watch the men go by,
In the clothes that Daddy wore.

A Mother's pride,
Her baby Boy,
His Father's eyes,
He's a soldier waiting for a War,
The time will come to hold a gun,
His Father's Son.

And as he grows,
He hears the band,
And takes the step from Boy to Man,
At the shore she waves her Son goodbye,
Like the man she did before.

A Mother's pride,
Just a boy,
His country's eyes,
He's a soldier waving at the shore,
And in her heart the time has come,
To loose a Son.

And all the Husbands,
All the Sons,
All the Lover's gone,
They make no difference,
No difference in the end!

You can still hear the Women say,
Your Daddy died a Hero,
In the Name of God and Men!

A Mother's pride,
Crazy boy,
His life-less eyes,
He's a soldier now forever more,
He'll hold a gun till Kingdom Come.

Tear Down The Walls

written by John Williams, Greg Michie, Thomas Barrett, Donny Purnell, & Taylor Rhoades

Standing in the dark,
Closing in I think I'm going under,
Feel down so fast from the words,
I heard them crash like Thunder,
I never thought I'd feel the final blow,
Like a shot it turned my heart to stone.

We were living in a dream,
Now it seems so faraway.

Why'd you tear down the walls?
Tear down the walls,
All of the pieces were all in place,
Why was it Love you had to break?

So restless I can't sleep,
Where's the flame,
The flame that burns forever?
Tore it all apart!
I hope someday we can put it back together.

I know you feel the tears inside,
I don't want to have to say goodbye!

Why'd you tear down the walls?
Watch them crumble and fall?
All of the peices were all in place,
Why was it Love you had to break?

We were living in a dream,
Now it seems so faraway!

Why'd you tear down the walls?
Watch them crumble and fall?
All of the pieces were all in place,
Why was it Love you had to break?

Why'd you tear down the walls?
Tear down the walls,
Tear down the walls,
Why'd you tear down the walls?

Cold Chills

written by John Williams, Greg Michie, Donney Punell, & Taylor Rhoades

Well it's way past Sundown,
Hear the clock strike Twelve?!
Feel the Darkness falling,
It's hot as Hell.

What's that shadow?
Who's that sound?
You're right in the wrong part of town!

You've got cold chills,
Running down your spine,
Cold chills,
You think you lost your mind.

Is this just a walking nightmare?
Will you wake up from this dream?
Cold chills,
Cold chills,
You try but you can't scream!

Everyone was leaving,
Glad you stayed on your own?
Thought they'd come and get you?
Now it's a long way home!

You thought you heard them call your name,
But there's no one there to blame!

You've got cold chills,
Running down your spine,
Cold chills,
You think you lost your mind.

Is this just a walking nightmare?
Will you wake up from this dream?
Cold chills,
Cold chills,
You try but you can't scream!

You hear footsteps in the silence,
Your heart's pounding!
You're trembling and shaking,
No!
No!
No!
No!

Is this just a walking nightmare?
Will you wake up from this dream?
If you breakdown you'll be sorry,
As the Vultures pick you clean!

Cold chills,
Running down your spine,
Cold chills,
You think you lost your mind.

Is this just a walking nightmare?
Will you wake up from this dream?

Cold chills,
Cold chills,
You got the cold chills,
Cold chills,
Cold chills.

Ruined In A Day

written by John Williams

Listen,
I may be wrong,
But you'll listen,
There's something wrong,
You could say,
I was ruined in a day.

You could be the "Lover Object",
Forever on your own in the shade,
You'd steal it anyway!

Some people like to decieve you,
While others may feel that they need you,
But I do the best that I can,
Keeping my life in my hands.

And if you feel,
The craddle rocking,
Then take the wheel,
Don't let me stop you,
Hang around for awhile,
But stop acting like a child!

Every step you take is the one,
That's gonna undo what you've done,
It could take all day.

Some people like to decieve you,
While others may feel that they need you,
But I do the best that I can,
I keep my World in my hands.

Some people like to decieve you,
While others may feel that they need you,
I did the best that I can,
Keeping my life in my hands.

Sailing Ships

written by David Coverdale, Steve Vai, & John Williams

Do you remember standing on the shore,
Your head in the clouds,
Your pockets filled with dreams?
Bound for glory on the Seven Seas of Life,
But the Ocean is deeper than it seems.

The wind was with you,
When you left on the Morning Tide,
You set your sails for an Island in the Sun,
But on the horizon dark clouds up ahead,
For the storm has just begun.

Take me with you,
Take me faraway,
And lead me to the distant shore.

Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky,
Take the time to see,
You're the one who holds the key,
Or sailing ships will pass you by.

You cry for mercy when you think you lost your way,
You drift along as if all your hope is gone,
But find the strength and you will see,
That you control your Destiny,
After all is said and done.

So take me with you,
Take me faraway,
And lead me to the distant shore.

Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky,
Take the time to see,
You're the one that holds the key.

Or sailing ships will pass...
Or sailing ships will pass you...
Sailing ships will pass you by.

Take me with you,
Take me faraway,
We'll ride the wind across the sky.

Spread your wings and you will see,
That you control your Destiny,
So sailing ships don't pass you by.

So take me with you,
Take me faraway,
We'll ride the wind across the sky.

Spread your wings and you will see,
That you control your Destiny.

So sailing ships don't pass...
So sailing ships won't pass you,
Or saling ships will pass you by.

Baby, you'll find that you're the only one,
That can sail your ship across the sky.

That Smiling Face

written by John Williams

All these words are not a rescue in my eyes,
Never sure about the love deep in your smile,
Never sure if I am right or if I'm wrong,
Never sure about the things which are going on and on.

All this love just while you're standing near to me,
Never sure about the time you spend with me,
I can't stand the way you deal with friends of mine,
Never sure if love's not just a waste of time.

All these words I try to find to say to you,
I can't stand the thousand dreams I dream of you,
While you stand beside me,
While you move into my arms.

Kiss My Disease

written by John Williams

Praying hand grasps the throat,
Searching for a Psalm they wrote,
Heater just won't warm a frozen spirit.

Just a Man with a cause,
No reward and no applause,
If there was a call He did not hear it.

Tiny heroes fall in Big Battles,
A mind and soul breaks and rattles on.

The only thing I need?
Kiss my disease and make it all better,
Clean me when I bleed,
Justify me,
Make words of my scattered letters.

Hunger and fear as they take control,
Growling out the tired Soul,
When the body just won't meet the demand.

Growing older,
Growing weak,
Going nowhere,
Future's bleak,
Need another spark to fire up the plan.

Tiny heroes fall in Big Battles,
A mind and soul overcomes and rattles on.

The only thing I need?
Kiss my disease and make it all better,
Clean me when I bleed,
Justify me,
Make words of my scattered letters.

Won't you kiss my disease?
