<twelve odd seconds of monotone electric guitar> <8 bars of melody> Just close your eyes Take in the tune I sing to you For my lullaby can soothe when your friends have moved to Neptune It must be the way that I can hear you say this now "Don't be afraid, just know that I'll be with you somehow. All of your cries, soon they will drown in my lullabies, Just close your eyes, just close your eyes." Don't be afraid when the day has become your lion's den. It's pure concentrate your comforting words have marked a trend I'm giving up wishing on the falling stars I'm living up to something new, I've made a vow It's taking me high, it's taking me far. I'll keep singing your tune; you'll hear it all around. It must be the way that I can hear you say this now "Don't be afraid, just know that I'll be with you somehow. All of your cries, soon they will drown in my lullabies, Just close your eyes, just close your eyes." <17 bars of electric guitar solo, and "woohoo, woohoo"> It must be the way that I can hear you say this now "Don't be afraid, just know that I'll be with you somehow. All of your cries, soon they will drown in my lullabies, Just close your eyes, just close your eyes." "Just close your eyes, just close your eyes." "Just close your eyes, just close your eyes."

One spot on an empty canvas One chair in an empty room No place for a revolution And no hope its signs are true We stand at the edge of something Will we ever know what it is? Hold on 'cause the wind is rising and we can't get away from it...... <4 bars of stream of consciousness guitar, piano & drums> We're in shock from the failed emotion No cause in a shadowed land And we sing while the city's burning With no room, no escape, no plan. We all never thought it would end this way... And we need a hero (to save us from ourselves) We need a hero (to save us from ourselves) Save us from ourselves Save us from our fear When the sirens wail We need a hero here We hide on our knees in silence Maybe God doesn't hear at all And the wait overtakes the violence And we watch as the giants fall We're not gonna let it end this way... We need a hero (to save us from ourselves) We need a hero (to save us from ourselves) Save us from ourselves Save us from our fear And when the sirens wail We need a hero here Save us from ourselves Save us from our fear When the sirens wail We need a hero here... <15 bars of stream of consciousness guitar, "ahh"s, piano & drums> Save us from ourselves Save us from our fear When the sirens wail We need a hero here....yeah Save us from ourselves Save us from our fear And when the sirens wail We need a hero here Save us from ourselves Save us from our fear When the sirens wail We need a hero Save us (to save us from ourselves) Save us from our fear Save us (to save us from ourselves) We need a hero here

My life Has led me down the road that's so uncertain Now I am left alone and I am broken Tryin' to find my way Tryin' to find the faith that's gone This time I know that You are holding all the answers And I'm tired of losing hope and taking chances On roads that never seem To be the ones that bring me home Give me a revelation Show me what to do 'Cause I've been trying to find my way I haven't got a clue Tell me should I stay here Or do I need to move Give me a revelation I've got nothing without You I've got nothing without You My life Has led me down this path that's ever-winding Through every twist and turn I'm always finding That I am lost again (I am lost again) Tell me when this road will ever end Give me a revelation Show me what to do 'Cause I've been trying to find my way I haven't got a clue Tell me should I stay here Or do I need to move Give me a revelation I've got nothing without You I've got nothing without... I don't know where I can turn Tell me when will I learn Won't You show me where I need to go Oh, Let me follow Your lead I know that it's the only Way that I can get back home Give me a revelation Show me what to do 'Cause I've been trying to find my way I haven't got a clue Tell me should I stay here Or do I need to move Give me a revelation I've got nothing without You I've got nothing without You Oh no, Oh no, Give me a revelation I've got nothing without You I've got nothing without You

Somewhere out there in the vast nothingness of space somewhere far away in space and time Staring upward at the gleaming stars in the obsidian sky, we're marooned on a small island in an endless sea confined to a tiny spit of sand unable to escape. But tonight on this small planet on Earth We are going to rock civilization

You should see the stars tonight How they shimmered, shined so bright Against the black they look so white Coming down from such a height To reach me now Reach me now You should see the moon in flight Cuttin' cross the misty night Softly dancing in sunshine Reflections of its light Reach me now You reach me now And how could such a thing Shine its light on me And make everything Beautiful again And you should feel the sun in spring Comin' out after a rain Suddenly all is green Sunshine on everything I can feel it now I feel You now. And how could such a thing Shine its light on me And make everything Beautiful And you should hear the angels sing All gathered 'round their King More beautiful than you could dream I've been quietly listening And can hear 'em now I hear 'em now...yeah <beautiful 8 bar guitar, viola, & cello interlude> How could such a King Shine His light on me And make everything Beautiful and I wanna shine I wanna be light I wanna tell you it'll be all right and I wanna shine and I wanna fly Just to tell ya now it'll be all right it'll be all right oh it'll be all right 'Cause I got nothing on my own to give to you But this light that shines on me shines on you And makes everything Beautiful again Be all right It'll be all right

Sittin' in the rain Water on your brain Got a hole in your boat Trying to stay afloat Has got you down I've got a wind in my sail Rubber boots and a pail I'll throw you a line Rest assured that I Won't ever let you drown 'Cause when you're up against the wall You know I'll be here for you, for you When you rise and when you fall I'll always be here for you, for you When the plans you make Fall through and take you For a loop Or some bird has flown the coop And left you stranded Just lean on me And together you see We'll carry the load Even if we don't Quite understand it 'Cause when you're up against the wall You know I'll be here for you, for you When you rise and when you fall I'll always be here for you, for you <guitar solo> <trombone solo> 'Cause when you're up against the wall You know I'll be here for you, for you When you rise and when you fall I'll always be here for you, for you 'Cause when you're up against the wall You know I'll be here for you, for you When you rise and when you fall I'll always be here for you, for you

You're electric And I'm out in the rainstorm You're the virus That's running through my veins You're a danger Like love and radiation Seeping into my brain You're the one I've been waiting for You're my rocket to the sky You're the diving board Standing seven stories high You're the thrill of love Like a jet on fire Push me out and see if I can fly. You're the ocean About to pull me under You're the surgeon Who says "It's got to bleed." You're the true love I've always been afraid of But you're the one I need. You're the one I've been waiting for You're my rocket to the sky You're the diving board Standing seven stories high You're the thrill of love Like a jet on fire Push me out and see if I can fly. <modest 4-bar guitar bridge> You're the passion Crashing my defenses. And I'm defenseless to you. You're the one I've been waiting for You're my rocket to the sky You're the diving board Standing seven stories high You're the thrill of love Like a jet on fire Push me out to fly. You're the one I've been waiting for All these days and all my life. You're the diving board Standing seven stories high You're the thrill of love Like a jet on fire Push me out and see if I can fly.

There is music and laughter lately And there's prayers and praise There are reasons to be so happy And at least to embrace There's a time to be so angry I'd rather lie in the sun It's the summer of my lifetime I've been blessed with some fun (Ho Ho) I'm a season past springtime (Ho Ho) And my life has gone boom (Ho Ho) Keep my eyes on the Father (Ho Ho) Everything is in bloom. Everything will just get better. Through the seasons I roam When all of the music's over, I will get to go home. (Ho Ho) I'm a season past springtime (Ho Ho) And my life has gone boom (Ho Ho) I keep my eyes on the Father (Ho Ho) Everything is in bloom. (Ho Ho) I'm a season past springtime (Ho Ho) And my life has gone boom (Ho Ho) I keep my eyes on the Father (Ho Ho) Everything is in bloom. I don't need theology to know that God's good to me He's given me a family AND A PLACE TO LAY MY HEAD Flung into the great unknown I was walking on my own Now I never walk alone IF I DID I WOULD BE DEAD I can't use it all myself So I take it off the shelf Here it is, enjoy yourself PUT AWAY YOUR DRUDGERY Use it up: there's always more That's what it's intended for Be the Lord's ambassador TO BE THE PLANET'S REMEDY. (Ho Ho) I'm a season past springtime (Ho Ho) And my life has gone boom (Ho Ho) Keep my eyes on the Father (Ho Ho) Everything is in bloom. (Ho Ho) I'm a season past springtime (Ho Ho) And my life has gone boom (Ho Ho) Keep my eyes on the Father (Ho Ho) Everything is in bloom. (Ho Ho) Everything Everything (Ho Ho) Everything Everything (Ho Ho) I'm a season past my springtime (Ho Ho) I'm a season past my spring (Ho Ho) I'm a season past my springtime (Ho Ho) And my life Has gone Boom

There's a place where I come from It's the place where I belong Where you will never die Wipe the tears off from your eyes Sun and moon and stars above Never match this perfect love Just look to the painter's hands Like an ocean meets its sands. Digigee Digigee Dime Dime Digigee Digigee Dime Digigee Digigee Dime Dime Digigee Digigee Dime Twisted castles in her hair Building mountains in the air Making profits, lending loans Ancient TV's golden telephones But within this misty cave Lies a painter, blind but brave.

Well I can't find the words to say Just to make, make this go away So you just bleed and I can't sleep tonight 'Cause it's hard to see just what you mean Across the lines that bring your voice to me But I can hear your every tear when you cry And, oh love, when you say to me That your heart breaks every time I leave I would set out across the sea Just to find my way to you Well I don't know which way to go So I search the stars, basking in the glow But they all fall down without a sound from the sky And, oh love, when you say to me That your heart breaks every time I leave I would sail out across the sea Just to find my way to you <guitar & piano interlude> Well I still can't find the words to say But you, my love, love me anyway So just go to sleep, and my heart will keep the time 'Cause, oh love, when you say to me That my kiss is the breath you breathe I would wake up from a thousand dreams Just to find my way.... And, oh love, when you say to me That my kiss is like the breath you breathe I would give up on a thousand dreams Just to find my way to you Oh, just to find my way to you.

Kiss me out of the bearded barley Nightly, beside the green, green grass Swing, swing, swing the spinning step You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress. Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me Kiss me down by the broken tree house Swing me upon its hanging tire Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat We'll take the trail marked on your father's map Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me <harmonica & guitar interlude> Kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance Silver moon's sparkling So kiss me So kiss me So kiss me So kiss me

She feels lost in her own life Treading water just to keep from slipping under And she wonders if she's where she's supposed to be Tired of trying to do it right Her dreams are just too far away to see how steps she's making Might be taking her to who she'll be And suddenly it isn't what it used to be And after all this time it worked out just fine And suddenly I am where I'm supposed to be And after all the tears I was supposed to be here She feels locked in her own life Scared of what she might lose if she moves away from who she was And she's afraid of being free There's a way she knows is right She can't feel the things she knows And so each step she's taking is a step of faith toward who'll she'll be And suddenly it isn't what it used to be And after all this time it worked out just fine And suddenly I am where I'm supposed to be And after all the tears I was supposed to be here And here where the night is darkest black She feels the fear and the light is farthest back And through her tears she can't see the dawn is coming Skies will clear and the light will find her where she's always been And suddenly it isn't what it used to be And after all this time it worked out just fine And suddenly I am where I'm supposed to be And after all the tears I was supposed to be here

<67 seconds of the finest down-tempo dulcimer solo ever recorded> Well the moon moved past Nebraska And spilled laughter on them cold Dakota Hills And angels danced on Jacob's stairs Yeah, they danced on Jacob's stairs There is this silence in the Badlands And over Kansas the whole universe was stilled By the whisper of a prayer The whisper of a prayer And the single hawk bursts into flight And in the east the whole horizon is in flames I feel thunder in the sky I see the sky about to rain And I hear the prairies calling out Your name I can feel the earth tremble Beneath the rumbling of the buffalo hooves And the fury in the pheasant's wings And there's fury in a pheasant's wings And it tells me the Lord is in His temple And there is still a faith that can make the mountains move And a love that can make the heavens ring And I've seen love make heaven ring Where the sacred rivers meet Beneath the shadow of the Keeper of the plains I feel thunder in the sky I see the sky about to rain And I hear the prairies calling out Your name From the place where morning gathers You can look sometimes forever 'til you see What time may never know What time may never know How the Lord takes by its corners this old world And shakes us forward and shakes us free To run wild with the hope To run wild with the hope The hope that this thirst will not last long That it will soon drown in the song not sung in vain And I feel thunder in the sky I see the sky about to rain And I hear the prairies calling out Your name And I know this thirst will not last long That it will soon drown in the song not sung in vain I feel thunder in the sky I see the sky about to rain And with the prairies I am calling out Your name © 1991 Edward Grant, Inc.
