Track One - Another Day
Just one more cup of coffee – One more smoke before I go I gotta get back on the road There’s another show I gotta – get-back-to Chicago Just one more song before I go Take a trip for a day, to find a place to make your way to find yourself, in
Another Day, Another Day older, and another way around the bend
Another chance to make it happy once again
It’s another celebration and another chance
To take a chance and make your dreams come true
Had a good time again – Waves they roll around my head The celebration of another year of life This day it shows you just how much you know And how much further you can travel Take a trip for a day, to find a place to make your way to find yourself, in
Another Day, Another Day older, and another way around the bend
Another chance to make it happy once again
It’s another celebration and another chance
To take a chance and make your dreams come true
Inst.
So tell me why the searching can be better than the find The snow is driving up the wall and I am in it – high Floating higher on another trip away It’s better to be taken than to never see the light of
Another Day, Another Day older, and another way around the bend
Another chance to make it happy once again
It’s another celebration and another chance
To take a chance and make your dreams come true

Track Two - How It Feels
I’d love to say what you wanna hear Clearly apparent, see me, my dear
Oh, did I scare you? Cuz you sure scared me I thought for sure that I was – CRAZY, and
Lemme know just how it feels
To be standin’ there not seein’ me behind you It’s all the way today – Yes, all the way this time I cannot fall again
You cannot leave me behind Cuz I’ll be – Leavin’ you this time
I don’t know why you make me do the things I do Followin’ people ‘round, that ain’t the way I do
I’m sick and tired of waitin’ ‘round for time to come I’ll follow my dreams
And lemme know just how it feels To be standing all alone lookin’ down on where I was
You gotta move, honey, if you wanna catch me
Cuz I got walkin’ time
And I’ve been there before And I’ll be – Leavin’ you this time
I know that everybody’s got their own way of expressing themselves
But dammit, there’s not enough precious time to waste on not havin’ love
So if you wanna try and be the man I need
Take a step towards love and I’ll meet you there with mine I’m not gonna take it lying down again Unless you are pleasin’ me
So go on and tell me how does it feel
To be on the level, sharin’ heaven it’s a tenuous bind
But I believe that work is good and good is made with love Yes, it’s made with love
And if it’s made right – I won’t be leavin’ you this time
You better make it right cuz I don’t wanna leave
I wanna give and receive I wanna have love - give love - bring love - send love - find love – be in love and never lose sight of LOVE
But it’s on my terms - And it’s on my turf - And it’s on my time – This time, no need to leave

Track Three - Takin’ Charge Today
There are those weak moments out of time
They make us stronger anyway
Moments lost to reason or rhyme
Out of mind it’s a heartfelt way This time I’m gonna hold my heart
‘Til my head says it’s okay
I tell myself I gotta act this part
Cuz I can’t keep givin’ this away
Not to anyone
All the time, every day
I gotta steal it back and run ‘til I get away
I’m takin’ charge today
Of my life, of my heart, of the things I do and say
Takin’ charge today
And I’m not turnin’ back to what was yesterday
I’m takin’ charge today
Of my life, of my heart, of the things I do and say
Takin’ charge today
And I’m not gonna stop ‘til I reach the top and live my life my way
This independent child, she is strong, she is wild
She’s gonna be a superstar someday
Take no shit from anyone else but the ones who encourage her to stay
Not a dream but a goal in her life
And she works for it every day
Gotta make up her mind and go off and find the life she won’t give away
Not to anyone
All the time, every day
I gotta steal it back and run ‘til I get away
I’m takin’ charge today
Of my life, of my heart, of the things I do and say
Takin’ charge today
And I’m not turnin’ back to what was yesterday
I’m takin’ charge today
Of my life, of my heart, of the things I do and say
Takin’ charge today
And I’m not gonna stop ‘til I reach the top and live my life my way

Track Four - Your Child
Oh My Daddy, My Little Daddy
That’s what he used to make me say
I see him talkin’ up there in his velvet robes
Taught me fine every day
An my Mamma’s workin’ hard to do us right
She’d always be there cookin’ up somethin’ right
Loved me hard and strong no matter rain or shine
Even when the clouds they rolled on by
I always knew the love was good and strong
My brother and I we tried so hard not to do wrong
But the one thing we can never do right
Is stay soft and small and cradled in your arms at night
Oh Mamma, oh mamma you taught me good and Daddy -
You said that I could do anything, anything I would
But when I got there
It got so frustrating and sometimes I wish I could take it all back ‘cause
‘Cause life is hard, and it hurts sometimes
But you gotta’ lift your head, lift your head and live
You gave me life and life I wanna’ live, I wanna’ live
Well, you gave me this gift
And forever I will be yours
I’ll be Your Child ‘til the world stops spinnin’
And I’ll be Your Child ‘til the cards of my life stop winnin’
You gave me this gift, and forever I will be yours…
You gave me this gift, and forever I will be Your Child
Forever I will be, forever I will be Your Child

Track Five - Shakespearean Tragedy
So beautiful – so tragic
So wonderful – this magic
It’s like a white hot flame that freezes my heart
But now it’s not a movie – Another Shakespearean Tragedy
There must be some way to get to the next part
And I wanna stop cryin
And I wanna stop lyin
And I wanna stop dyin inside myself
Can you help me beat the pain that you’ve created
Oh, sweet death – The sting is real
But releases all the hurt I feel
And I can’t keep screwin’ this nail with a hammer
I gotta get myself the tools
And get rid of all these fools
That keep tellin’ me that you don’t matter
And I wanna stop cryin
And I wanna stop lyin
And I wanna stop dyin inside myself
Can you help me beat the pain that you’ve created
I can run from your body but not your mind
I gotta get myself on the search for a bind
An agreement that makes me numb
And I life that won’t succumb
I know that you can feel me
I know that you can feel me
I know that you can feel me

Track Six - Be Right
These lips / they are the ones I cannot kiss
These eyes deep and wide that I cannot fall into
I am deceived / I am confused
It’s like the beach is stripped of al l the life but waves
Waves of love come to me in the night
Fold me up, keep me in, lock me down and hold me tight
The sting of salt remains but it’s better than goodbye
I wish that I could find the pier to walk off and be right
And what is right / Is it love, is it happiness?
Is it enough for one when two cannot survive?
Is this the way to fight? Is it love ‘cuz it’s blind?
Is it the way to salvation or is it sacrifice?
Waves of love come to me in the night
Fold me up, keep me in, lock me down and hold me tight
The sting of salt remains but it’s better than goodbye
I wish that I could find the pier to walk off and be right
I wanna’ live right, see right, do right, be right

Track Seven - Tonight
You beside me – Movin next to me – Movin’ inside my soul
Skin on skin, you, leave me breathless
I can’t hide from you no more
In the night I want it so bad – Arms around me hold me tight
I can feel you even though you are not with me tonight
I want to fill the void, feel – Full up – Have it all
Till I dribble drunk on love
I can taste your smell, the feel – of your scent all around me
Feel of softness to desire
In the night I want it so bad – Arms around me hold me tight
I can feel you even though you are not with me tonight
Inst. Verse
In the night I want it so bad – Arms around me hold me tight
Love is all that we can feel – When we’re bound and tangled
Nothin’ matters ‘til the sun comes up to tell me dark is done
But you fill me up with warm – dozing, cozy in the sunlight
I can feel you even though you are not with me tonight

Track Eight - Get Outta These Shoes
There was a time / When things were real and undeniable
Now I’m sick, cry all the time / It can’t be true
I think I’m workin’ but it’s not workin’ anymore
Gotta get out, get outta these shoes
I loved for things he couldn’t conquer
I lived the dream he won’t remember
The taste so sweet - For me again
This is how the world gets on / To run the course and move along
It always comes when you don’t expect / It’s a shyness, a suggestion
It’s the natural way to move but you can’t always see
The way to get outta these blues
I loved for things he couldn’t conquer
I lived the dream he won’t remember
The taste so sweet - For me again
This is here - This is now
I’ll do what I know best - cuz I know how
It’s not the same - No, it never is
Things gotta change & we gotta live
I loved for things he couldn’t conquer
I lived the dream he won’t remember
The taste so sweet - For me again

Track Nine - In A Day
Those who see us when we’re young - They see a work in progress
Like a song that’s still unsung - It’s there but not performed yet
In A Day, in this life – There is beauty there is light
There is sunshine up above – It’s a light that lives on love
There’s a song in my heart and I have to sing it
The lives that branch in all directions – Reaching out to touch
The strength of life’s connections – Silken threads that hold so much
In A Day, in this life – There is beauty there is light
There is sunshine up above – It’s a light that lives on love
There’s are bonds in my life and I will not break them
And the twists and turns they sometimes show
How other friends will come and go
But I can tell you, this I know
That somewhere in the gray, will come that glory day
That’s the time when I will say
The world is fine and it’s all mine and I think it’s finally time to stay,
Time to stay; I think it’s finally time to stay
I’m movin’ on down that road – It’s the road to life ahead
I have the strength to do it on my own but I want you there instead
In A Day, in this life – There is beauty there is light
There is sunshine up above – It’s a light that lives on love
I’m in love in this life and I’ll never lose it

Track Ten - Dance of Time
Things don’t always go – the way you think they should
People don’t always wait – when you wish they would
You think it’s obvious but obviously it’s not
Can there be a middle ground – When the world seems upside down
Time is all you have and all you have to give
Patience comes to those who in their hearts can live
Not to live with prejudice, not live with hate
Only we determine our fate
And if we listen to the quiet inside – It can breath the divide
Sometimes life throws the fastest pitch
Other times, you know, well – It’s just a bitch
But when it’s hard and things they got you down
There’s only one way to go – And that’s up
Time is all you have and all you have to give
Love can be taken but only when you give it
Not to live with angry words, not to live with fear
No one really knows why we’re here
And all we can do to see the path is walk among us holding hands
Things can be taken – Things can be given
Things can be broken – and others forgiven
All I know is that patience flows from every vein I have – until forever
Cuz time is all I have and all I have to give
Life’s a long road, but it’s up to you to live
Not to live with pain and hurt, not to live apart
All I have to offer is my heart
But if I take a chance, you too
Must try and do the dance…
Of Time
Do the Dance of Time
You, too, must do the Dance of Time

Track Eleven - Goodbye
No arms around me but my own
Lost in the fog of nobody’s fault
Your scent makes me believe you’re still here
If only everything was right
What was meant in our meeting?
Our tidal passing in the night (I’m so sorry)
The time we had was not enough (To know I’ve hurt you)
The time has come to say goodbye
Two worlds colliding, wanting to be one
But not wanting to see the forks strewn everywhere
The winding road just wound up dead
Neatly curled inside my fist
I never wanted to yearn for more
Yet none is all I ever want (I’m so sorry)
This time it’s me, it’s you, we cannot make it right (To know I’ve hurt you)
The time can’t come to say goodbye
Say good bye, say goodbye / I never wanted to say goodbye
Give up your arms, your care, your touch
Your smile and all you’ve given me
The time has come to say goodbye
And I know that all I have is time
But I don’t really have any time to give
Cuz this is what time has given me
Pen to paper, hands to fly
So I’m sorry – I never meant to hurt you
And I buried something in my heart as well
Push it back, life is here, none to wait, time is near
I know I have to say goodbye
I know I have to say goodbye
The time has come to say goodbye
For all true loves will never die
I stayed up all the night and cried
The night we finally said goodbye
