1. PICKIN' UP THE PIECES

Yeah, Yeah, pickin' up
Well I don't know what you're
Gettin' into you better take my word
It's no good for you
You were born in a golden cage
But you ain't seen nothing
I can feel your rage

I will talk to you later
I will take you aside
I will wake you
Yes, I will make you decide

Chorus:

I'm pickin' up the pieces
I'm pickin' up the pieces

You must be blind
You better open your eyes
The day's gonna come when you'll realize
What'cha gonna do when the
Whip comes down
You better start lookin' in the
Lost and found

I will talk to you later
I will take you aside
I will wake you
Yes, I will make you decide

I'm pickin' up the pieces
I'm pickin' up the pieces

It's so real, it's so real
Can you take it
It's alright, it's alright
Can you feel it
Look through the glass
See yourself in the past
And your destiny waits
In a blink of an eye

I'm pickin' up the pieces...


2. LAY MY BODY DOWN

I've been travellin' for so many days
Thru' the valleys I have gone
I've been searchin' in so many ways
For the things that I have done

Now I ask you - do you love me
And don't tell me any lies

Chorus:

I will keep on ridin' in the
Early morning light
'til they lay my body down

Behind the conscience of every man
Is a thing we all must trust
As I look across the land
I see shadows in the dust

So how can you judge me
When you don't know me
I know you'll miss me when I'm
Dead and gone

I will keep on ridin' in the
Early morning light
'til they lay my body down

So close your eyes and you
Will find me
I'll be watching over you
I will be with you, you'll feel my spirit
I know your faith will put you thru'

Now, I ask you - do you love me...


3. THE ONLY ONE

There is no softer voice
You are my angel of the morning
You are my only choice
This must be heaven, I hear you callin'

One touch is all I need
You got me beggin' on my
Hands and my knees
One look, now I can see
I've gotta break away from these chains

Chorus:

You're the only one
The only one who makes me feel
You're the only one
The only one who is for real

I need you next to me
I need your body closer
Against my skin
I can hardly wait
You just can't hide my love
Won't you let me in

One touch is all I need
You got me beggin' on my
Hands and my knees
One look, now I can see
I've gotta break away from these chains

You're the only one
The only one who makes me feel
You're the only one
The only one who is for real only one


4. WHY DON'T YOU STAY

There's an old sayin'
That just won't leave my mind
And you know I've been praying
Girl you know that you're one of a kind
And I know that you're lonely, baby
And I know you've been sad
And I've been dyin' to see you

There's a picture of you
That's deep inside of my soul
And I wouldn't do
Anything you didn't want me to
'cause I get a little worried darlin'
'cause you gotta keep on the right track
And I'm callin' you
So won't you please come back

Baby why don't you stay
I can't stop you from leavin'
Baby don't go away
You gotta keep on believin'
Baby why don't you stay
Let's make a brand new start
And let's have a little heart to heart

So let's make a toast
To the times that we've had
'cause I love you the most
Thru' the good and thru' the bad
If you want good lovin'
You know where I will be
So won't you please come back
Baby come back to me

And let's make a brand new start
'cause the only thing that I want
Is for you to be happy, baby

Baby why don't you stay...


5. WALKIN' ON THE WATER

Somewhere a man is waiting for his call
Somewhere a baby is waiting to be born
Somewhere there's a woman
Got her back against the wall
Somewhere time keeps slippin'
I can watch it fall

But it won't be easy
So you better close the door
I hear you talkin'
Now what are you askin' for
It won't be pretty
Soon you'll be walkin' on the water
Walkin' on the water

Somewhere a politician is hiding in a darkened room
Somewhere a physician tries to masquerade with the hands of doom
Somewhere a native American tries takin' back his piece of land
Somewhere the watcher in the sky shakes his head and raises his hands

It won't be easy
So you better close the door
I hear you talkin'
Now what are you askin' for
It won't be pretty
Now what you gonna say
Soon you'll be walkin' on the water anyway

It won't be easy
Soon you'll be walkin' on the water
Walkin' on the water

Somewhere a lover is waitin' to be loved
Somewhere a bad man is waitin' to be shoved
Somewhere a stranger comes walkin' from the past
Somewhere a movie is waitin' to be cast

But it won't be easy...


6. THE LIAR

I can see your eyes are burnin'
I can feel your wheels are turnin'
In my heart I've been mistreated
The mistakes I've made before
I've just repeated

I should have listened
Now the writing's on the wall
And you don't know what
You’ve been missin'
Now you're headed for the fall
You’re the one they call the liar

In the night while you lay sleepin'
But your mind still lies awake
Out there deceiving

I don't want to let go
But I have to get away
Now I want to let you know
That I'm leaving here today
You’re the one they call the liar

Say goodbye, now stop your cryin'
I won't take those alibis
Oh, you've been lyin'

I should have listened...


7. INTO THE VOID

In this ever-changing world
We live in dangerous times
When you're standing on the ledge
There’s no time to think it over

Is this the last time
That you will question my faith
This is the season of the crimson sky
I can remember the look upon your face
I can recall that moment in time

I tell you, my brother, fame is a dangerous thing
I can see thru' you, you're flesh and blood
Let’s say goodbye to the past
It’s a long time gone
Now I have fallen on sacred ground

You run against the wind
You hear the starting gun
Now don't you turn away
Now look what you have done

If you wanna make that move
Get into the void
If you're searching for the truth
Get into the void

I see the future
I hear it calling my name
Look back in anger
I still feel the pain
It brings back memories from space and time
This is the year of the newborn child

You run against the wind
You hear the starting gun
Now don't you turn away
Now look what you have done

If you wanna make that move
Get into the void
If you're searching for the truth
Get into the void
If you're looking for a thrill
Get into the void
If you wanna break your will
Get into the void

Is this the last time...

You run against the wind
You hear the starting gun
Now don't you turn away
Now look what you have done
The rivers have all dried up
The locust's in the sky
You better think it over
So give it one more try

If you wanna make that move...

I can remember,
I can remember, remember


8. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE

As I look back on the good things in my life
I could count on you to help me make it right
You turned me around, you did the best that you could do
When I think what you said, I'm so glad that I have you

You’ve been gone for a long time
Don’t try to deny it
It’s been so long since you were mine
Gotta try to believe in something

You were always there to remind me
You were always there to recall
You were always there to remind me
You were always there when I called

I got a notion that the only place to be
Is a place that I love,
Just right for you and me
You gotta go to the desert,
Grab a handful of sand
If the sand runs thru', you
Gotta make some other plans

You’ve been gone for a long time...

You turned me around
You turned my whole life around


9. IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO (ALLYSON'S SONG)

This is the time
This is the place
So don't hold back
I need to feel your warm embrace
Ever so tenderly and oh baby

There’s no time for hatred
There’s no time for war
And there's no anger in my body anymore
'cause I have learned to love
Learned to love again

No, I won't fall to pieces
No, I won't be that way
'cause I have tasted freedom
In the things I say

Can I hold you close
Let me feel you near
And I will never let you go
If you don't want me to

Just say the word
And I will be there for you darlin'
You know I hunger for your touch
And there's no time for sadness
And there's no time for pain
And there's no time for sorrow
I'm free again
And I will be this way
Forever, and ever and ever

Can I hold you close...

Here is the body
Let’s break the bread
Let’s drink the wine from a cup of happiness
And I will never leave you
In winter, spring or fall
'cause I have grown to love,
Each day I love you more
'cause I have always been
The one you've been waiting for

No, I won't fall to pieces
No, I won't be that way

If you don't want me to
If you don't want me to
If you don't want me to

This is the time
This is the place
So don't hold back
I need to feel your warm embrace

There’s no time for hatred
And there's no time for war
There’s no anger in my body anymore
'cause I have always been
The one you've been waiting for
I will never let you go
If you don't me to


10. DEVIL IN YOU

I know where you been
You’re in danger
You been livin' in sin
I don't want your apology
It’s gotta be your destiny
'cause you been messin' with
The wrong crowd

Ain't no doubt

Tailor made
You’re runnin' tough and you
Ain't afraid

I know the devil in you
I know what's comin' to you
I know the devil in you
I know what's comin' to you
Callin' you, callin' you

I see you ain't been gettin' no sleep
You better stop
You’re gettin' in too deep
Don’t you know you gotta compromise
You look like you been hypnotized
You gotta face it now
The damage is done
You gotta take it like a man now, son
Won’t you get down on your knees
You gotta pray boy, can't you see

I know the devil in you...

Tell me you are satisfied
callin' you down deep inside

Take a look, take a look at yourself
They’re takin' bets about your health
So listen up, what are you gonna do
You gotta change your attitude

I hear the devil knockin' at your door
He’s been lookin', and you know what for
You better watch, you better watch your back
Or you'll be fallin' right off the track

I know the devil in you...


11. HOMELAND

Always take a part of you
Wherever I go
You’re never far from me
No matter how far
Wherever I go
Remember all those years
Some were good
Few were bad
When I dream about you, baby
I'm so happy, yet so sad
I'm so happy, yet so sad

Do you wanna go back to my homeland
To the place we belong
Back to my homeland
To the place near your heart

Now and then something
Strikes right
Thru' the heart
Just a scent or a shadow
Reminds me how far
How far we are apart
Now when I look back
There’s one thing I've got to say
There’s just one place
By now I'm sure
Sure you know
Now I'm sure, sure you know

Do you wanna go back to my homeland...

(Do you) do you wanna come with me
(Do you) do you wanna come with me
(Do you) do you wanna go with me
I hope and I pray
That you'll come back one day
The feelin's so strong
I've got to keep holdin' on
Stay with me, stay
This is where I belong

Do you really wanna go
Back to my homeland...


12. FROM NOW ON...

I've been thinkin' about what you said
I hear your voice
It speaks inside my head
You know I'd rather be with you
And feel your touch
When I was lost
I knew you'd rescue me
I paid the cost
And now I finally see
And now I know that this was meant to be
It’s all too much

Now I'm walkin' down the lonely road
And your face is all I see
I can't imagine that your love would come my way

I need shelter from the storm
I'll be stronger from now on...
I need shelter from the storm
I'll be stronger from now on...

I was lookin' for the chosen way
I was prayin' that I'd hear you say
Now it's time to let it go
It’s all in my mind
Now the time has come
This had to be
When the mountains fall into the sea
And you'll be waitin' there for me
Everytime

As I wander in the fields of hope
As I see the light of day
I can't imagine that your love
Would come my way

I need shelter from the storm...

Now I'm walking down the lonely road...

I need shelter from the storm...

From now on my love will be stronger
From now on my faith will be stronger
From now on my soul will be stronger
From now on...
