"Ride" - Martina McBride

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

You wake up from your dreaming

And you don't want to face the day

And you can't find a reason

To think your world will ever change

 

You can hide beneath the covers

Or you can run outside

Head up high

And carry on

 

Life is a roller coaster ride

Time turns the wheel and love collides

Faith is believing

You can close your eyes and touch the sky

To shine while you have the chance to shine

Laugh even when you want to cry

Hold on tight to what you feel inside

And ride

 

It brings you up slowly then shoots you

Like a rocket toward the ground

It twists you and it shakes you

Before it turns you upside down

 

You can't see what's around the corner

And you can't look back

So just live it up

And feel the rush

 

Life is a roller coaster ride

Time turns the wheel and love collides

Faith is believing

You can close your eyes and touch the sky

Shine while you have the chance to shine

Laugh even when you want to cry

Hold on tight to what you feel inside

And ride

 

Ride

Ride

Yeah

 

Oh yeah

Shine while you have the chance to shine

Laugh even when you want to cry

Hold on tight to what you feel inside

And ride

 

Ride

Ride

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah!

"Lost at Sea" - Josh Krajcik

https://youtu.be/klGYkh-Drko

 

 

No time to waste

Leave it all behind

No time for pretending

Open your eyes

 

We'll take our chances

Get lost at sea

But I won't care

Cause it's you and me

You and me

 

Strike a match and let it spark

We'll bring a light into the dark

Pick up the pieces of this heart

And bring a light into the dark

 

We stop, we start

It's all we know

Take what's left of each moment

And never let go

 

We'll take our chances

Get lost at sea

But I won't care

Cause it's you and me

Girl, you and me

 

Strike a match and let it spark

We'll bring a light into the dark

Pick up the pieces of this heart

And bring a light into the dark

(x2)

 

No time to waste

Leave it all behind

The Pretenders - Hymn To Her

 

 

 

 

*LOVE* this one, LF, had it on my list, you got in before me! 

 

Thanks, abcd  . I did one load of laundry today. It was an epic undertaking. My muscles wobbled and I swayed and I cried, and it was awful, but I somehow did it. Also baked some pizza and spanakopita too and made breakfast and dinner and it all felt like I was digging ditches. This is some insane stuff. No trembling today, though.

John Mellencamp - Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)

 

 

In a hand painted night, me and Gypsy Scotty are partners

At the Hotel Flamingo, wearin black market shoes

This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon

No one wants to be lonely, no one wants to sing the blues

 

She's perched like a parrot on his tuxedo shoulder

Christ, what's she doing with him she could be dancing with me

She stirs the ice in her glass with her elegant finger

I want to be what she's drinking, yeah I just want to be

 

I saw you first

I'm the first one tonight

I saw you first

Don't that give me the right

To move around in your heart

Everyone was lookin

But I saw you first

 

On a moon spattered road in her parrot rebozo

Gypsy Scotty is driving his big long yellow car

She flies like a bird over his shoulder

She whispers in his ear, boy, you are my star

 

But I saw you first

I'm the first one tonight

Yes I saw you first

Don't that give me the right

To move around in your heart

Everyone was lookin.....

 

In the bone colored dawn, me and Gypsy Scotty are singin'

The radio is playin, she left her shoes out in the back

He tells me a story about some girl he knows in Kentucky

He just made that story up, there ain't no girl like that

 

But I saw you first

I'm the first one tonight

Yes I saw you first

Don't that give me the right

To move around in your heart

Everyone was lookin

But I saw you first

I saw you first

More hugs for you, LF, hoping to put just a little smile on your face. 

You make pizza and spanakopita from scratch?!!!  Or you open the box and stick it in the oven, hah?  If from scratch, wow, I LOVE spanakopita, make it quite often myself, the second method above though, lol.

Keep on, keep on, LF, one baby step in front of the other, day by day by day ... and if you have to tremble? ... tra la la ... just TRRREMBLE!

"I Can Fly" - Kansas

 

I can fly

I really can

Wave goodbye, familiar land

Catch the wind

Make my climb

Breathing in

Born again, feeling fine

 

I can fly

Above distress

I can fly to heaven no less

Leave the earth

Forget the time

Light as air

I don't care, feeling fine

 

Don't say I'm crazy

Don't say I'm out of my head

I might be crazy

But one thing's for certain

One thing's for sure

 

I can fly

Above the sea

I can fly, hey, look at me

Without a net

Leave it behind

Light as air

I don't care, feeling so fine

 

Don't say I'm crazy

Don't say I'm out of my head

I might be crazy

But one thing's for certain

One thing's for sure

 

My lofty purchase high above

I'm losing sight of you

I'm climbing up just like a kite

The calm before the storm

 

When all at once it dawned on me

I'm where I'm not supposed to be

The clouds are black, the sky is red

I'm where the angels fear to tread

 

I feel like I've lost my way

Yes, I feel like I've lost my way

Yes, I feel like I've lost my way

 

Down and down and down and down I go

I've lost all sense of my direction

This flaming spitfire flight has come undone

Grounding stages of rejection

I was not worthy to have even tried

Help me annihilate this foolish pride

Where Icarus died

 

I say the act of my contrition

Be sure to bless all before I die

Save my seat in the smoking section

Cut me loose and say goodbye

 

I wake up on the doctors table

Where life and death are up for grabs

I'm coming, I'm coming, you better shoot me

Kill the pain and count the scabs

 

No, no, no, get out of my black dream

Give me life, give me life, I'll make a vow

I'll resist temptation

I promise here and now

 

You see it all started when I was younger

They said I was good, I thought they said great

I crown myself the king of liars

I am what I have learned to hate

"Nothing" - Heather Nova

 

The truth comes over me

Like wine, like summer heat

The world, it moves too fast

I miss my simple past

 

[CHORUS:]

And I can't see

For all the things I think I need

Brother, take me out to where the reef ends

Where there's only, only green sea

Brother, take me out to where the reef ends

I only want to want

Nothing

 

The child, she knows it's good

She plays the way she should

Her days, they taste like lime

She moves in perfect time

 

[CHORUS]

 

There's no promises

Today is all there is

 

And I can't see

For all the things I think I need

Brother, take me out to where the reef ends

Where there's only, only green sea

Brother, take me out to where the reef ends

I only want to want

Nothing

 

Oh, nothing

Nothing

"I'll Lead You There"

Message To Bears Ft. Will Samson

 

Remember when we saw it

Fade into the walls

I remember then

 

See how far we've come

Cause I can see the end

Fade into the walls again

 

See how far we've come

I will lead you there

"Ladders" - Leona Lewis

https://youtu.be/b6oWIJU4kkc

 

Down here in the trenches

I know what I'm fighting for

Come back to my senses

I'm ready for something more

 

I can face all of my mistakes

I'll be brave

It's okay

Finally I'm away

I'm away

 

[CHORUS:]

I fall back down but I'm looking up

Each heart breaks and I'm up the ladder

You're there to lift me up, me up

Higher

Higher

 

No glory in silence

I'm trying to live out loud

Rise up though I'm crying

I'm free, let the fear run out

 

I can face all of my mistakes

I'll be brave

It's okay

Finally I'm away

I'm away

 

[CHORUS]

(X2)

 

Wherever you take me

You will not beat me

Finally I'm where I belong

Wherever you take me

You elevate me

Finally I am not alone

 

You're there to lift me up, me up

Higher

 

I fall back down but I'm looking up

Each heart breaks and I'm up the ladder

You're there to lift me up, me up

Higher

Higher

Higher

 

Oh, you're lifting me up

Higher

So high, so high

"Do I Love You"

Paul Anka, Anthea Anka, Barry Gibb

 

English

https://youtu.be/igVDxlWE8-Y

 

Spanish

 

 

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

As the mighty river flows

As the meadow gaily plays

With the wind on summer days

 

About as deep as deep can go

From the canyons to the sky

Like a mother as she cares

For the baby that she bears

 

Do I love you

Don't you know by now

Do I love you

Must I show you how

Do I love you

Do I have to say

Do I love you

Yes, in every way

 

About as sacred as a hymn

And a bible full of prayers

From a whisper to a roar

Very much and even more

 

Let me say it with my eyes

And I'll share it with the night

If in death the good Lord is kind

You'll be the last thing on my mind

 

Do I love you

Don't you know by now

Do I love you

Must I show you how

Do I love you

Must I always say

Do I love you

Yes, in every way

 

I believe in you

 

Don't ever take your love away

 

Do I love you

Don't you know by now

Do I love you

Must I show you how

Do I love you

Do I have to say

Do I love you

Yes I love you in every way

 

Do I have to say

I'm sending you love in every way

Every night, every day I think about you

I think about you every day

"The Wind" - Cat Stevens

 

I listen to the wind

To the wind of my soul

Where I’ll end up well I think

Only God really knows

 

I’ve sat upon the setting sun

But never, never, never, never

I never wanted water once

No, never, never, never

 

I listen to my words

But they fall far below

I let my music take me where

My heart wants to go

 

I swam upon the devil’s lake

But never, never, never, never

I’ll never make the same mistake

No, never, never, never

"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times"

 

The Beach Boys                                    Jim James

      https://youtu.be/IsPHOfqrOWY         

 

 

I keep looking for a place to fit in

Where I can speak my mind

And I've been trying hard to find the people

That I won't leave behind

 

They say I got brains

But they ain't doing me no good

I wish they could

 

Each time things start to happen again

I think I got something good going for myself

But what goes wrong

 

Sometimes I feel very sad

Sometimes I feel very sad

Sometimes I feel very sad

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

 

Every time I get the inspiration

To go change things around

No one wants to help me look for places

Where new things might be found

 

Where can I turn

When my fair weather friends cop out

What's it all about

 

Each time things start to happen again

I think I got something good going for myself

But what goes wrong

 

Sometimes I feel very sad

Sometimes I feel very sad

Sometimes I feel very sad

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

 

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

"The Sea Inside"

Bob Seger

 

When you're out there on that open road

And you have no place to go

There's a solace in the emptiness

When there is no need to know

 

You can drift away

You can spend the day without things

When the night comes on

You can spend it without dreams

 

Like a wave out on the open sea

Like a cloud up in the sky

You can move away from earthly things

You don't have to say goodbye

 

When you're free of lies

You can leave your past behind you

Call a brand new course

Let it take you far away

 

You can sail the sea

You can sail the sea inside you

You can leave it all

You can leave it all behind

 

When you're out there in the emptiness

And your dreams have been denied

It's time to face the wilderness

And sail the sea inside

"Born To Fly" - Sara Evans

 

I've been telling my dreams to the scarecrow

About the places that I'd like to see

I said, "Friend, do you think I'll ever get there?"

Oh, but he just stands there smiling back at me

 

So I confess my sins to the preacher

About the love I've been praying to find

"Is there a brown eyed boy in my future?"

And he says, "Girl, you've got nothing but time"

 

But how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know that you were born

You were born to fly

 

My daddy, he is grounded like the oak tree

My momma, she is steady as the sun

Oh, you know I love my folks

But I keep staring down the road

Just looking for my one chance to run

 

Hey, cause I will soar away like the blackbird

I will blow in the wind like a seed

I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams

And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

 

But how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know that you were born

You were born, yeah

You were born to fly

(x2)

 

You were born to fly

Fly, fly, fly

"I Need You" - LeAnn Rimes

 

 

I don't need a lot of things

I can get by with nothing

Of all the blessings life can bring

I've always needed something

 

But I've got all I want

When it comes to loving you

You're my only reason

You're my only truth

 

I need you like water

Like breath, like rain

I need you like mercy

From Heaven's gate

 

There's a freedom in your arms

That carries me through

I need you

 

You're the hope that moves me

To courage again

You're the love that rescues me

When the cold winds rage

 

And it's so amazing

Cause that's just how you are

And I can't turn back now

Cause you've brought me too far

 

I need you like water

Like breath, like rain

I need you like mercy

From Heaven's gate

 

There's a freedom in your arms

That carries me through

I need you

 

Oh, yes, I do

 

I need you

I need you

” Arsonist’s Lullaby”

Hozier

 

 

"Arsonist's Lullabye"

 

[Humming]

 

When I was a child, I heard voices...

Some would sing and some would scream

You soon find you have few choices...

I learned the voices died with me

 

When I was a child, I'd sit for hours

Staring into open flame

Something in it had a power,

Could barely tear my eyes away

 

All you have is your fire...

And the place you need to reach -

Don't you ever tame your demons

But always keep 'em on a leash

 

[Humming]

 

When I was 16, my senses fooled me

Thought gasoline was on my clothes

I knew that something would always rule me...

I knew the scent was mine alone

 

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons

But always keep 'em on a leash

 

When I was a man I thought it ended

When I knew love's perfect ache

But my peace has always depended

On all the ashes in my wake

 

All you have is your fire,

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever tame your demons,

But always keep 'em on a leash...

” Lonely”

Yoe Mase

 

 

"Lonely"

 

I sold my own soul to the Devil

Said, "You don't need your heart"

In this world full of trouble

Where the madness won't stop

And they take advantage

And they run for the hills

'Cause a life is harder

When they swallow the pills

Being lonely

 

Took a walk with an angel

Because she said she can't fly

I screamed out, "Can you forgive me?"

Before she said goodbye

Well, go into darkness before I try

Is life worth living when you need to get by?

I'm still lonely

 

I was the king but not the king of anything

I'm still lonely

I'm still lonely

I'm still lonely

Call me Mr. Righteous even if I always sin

I'm still lonely

I'm still lonely

I'm still lonely

 

Told myself I was going

To get out of this place

Find running water

And find a new space

But in my own time

I will know

That deep inside

We don't ever let go

 

I was the king but not the king of anything

Call me Mr. Righteous even if I always sin

 

I sold my own soul to the Devil

Said, "You don't need your heart"

I sold my own soul to the Devil

Said, "You don't need your heart"

” I Will Be”

Wynonna Judd

 

 

"I Will Be"

 

Been caught in a downpour of a rain of stones

Felt like an exile in the world I had known

So I sought the shelter of my own soul

And stayed inside

 

I found no comfort in placing blame

I saw the hope that lay just beyond the pain

The past is a prison and I won't wear those chains

And I won't hide, oh no

 

I will be here

I will be strong

I'll face my fears

When the night is long

And still go on

I will be brave

I will be bold

Follow my faith

To a higher road

And I'm not there yet

But I will be

 

I could choose to keep my feet upon the beaten path

Never cross the open field for the one snake in the grass

But I'd rather risk my heart then never get the chance

To find my way, to find my way

 

I will be here

I will be strong

I'll face my fears

When the night is long

And still go on

I will be brave

I will be bold

Follow my faith

To a higher road

And I'm not there yet

But I will be

” Dreamers”

Jack Savoretti

 

https://youtu.be/dCG9tnXxT_A

 

"Dreamers"

 

There was a time and place

Not far from here and now

Maybe a brighter day

Maybe they had it made somehow

Living for there and then

Under a psychadelic spell

No one was listening

Still they had so much to tell

 

Whatever happened to the dreamers

They always look beyond the sky

Saw a world they could believe in

But only when they close their eyes

 

There were the politicians

Men of the cloth, painters and poets

Starting a revolution

Without even knowing it

Making the world around us

Making heaven and hell

Saying so much about us

Still they had so much to tell

 

Whatever happened to the dreamers

They always looked beyond the sky

Saw a world they could believe in

But only when they close their eyes

 

Where are they now

They've all left town

Bringing the clouds

 

Whatever happened to the dreamers

They always look beyond the sky

Saw a world they could believe in

But only when they close their eyes

But only when they close their eyes

 

Why are we on our own, why are we on our own

 

Nothing's ever been this way before

A dream is just a dream and nothing more

Nothing's ever been this way before

A dream is just a dream and nothing more

” The Rain Song”

Led Zeppelin

 

https://youtu.be/zDVnjCwCYCs

 

"The Rain Song"

 

It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.

It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

 

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.

Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.

Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from time to time.

 

Talk, talk, talk, talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter

I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us...

But I know that I love you so. But I know that I love you so

 

These are the seasons of emotion and like the wind they rise and fall

This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.

This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient - Upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall.

It's just a little rain oh yeah

"Into The Darkness"

Crosby, Stills & Nash

 

Into the darkness soon you'll be sinking

What are you doing, what can you be thinking

All of your friends have been trying to warn you

That some of your demons are dying to drag you

 

Away into the darkness

Into the darkness

Into the darkness away

 

All of your life you've been making your payments

Alone on the phone with your business arrangements

No wonder no one could ever get near you

You're screaming too loud no one can hear you

 

I see you coming to the end of the day

And was it worth it, no one can say

I see your face it is ghostly pale

Into the sunset we are watching you sail

 

Temperature's rising over the rainbow

What are you hiding, afraid of your shadow

We have been trying, trying to find you

There's no use denying our love is behind you

 

Stay out of the darkness

Out of the darkness stay
