1.Keep Pushin

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , I keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah
Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I
did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength
is gone
Keep pushin on

(solo)

Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh
Everyday I wake a little bit higher
Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah
(repeat chorus)


2.I Believe Our Time Is Gonna Come

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

You touched me. You took me away.
You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay.
But now I know what you were trying to say.
I can understand that I'm not the only one.
But I believe our time is gonna come.
I dream of you through every night,
But you're not risin' with me, so I don't wanna see the light.
Even if you can't come over, and I hoping that you might
'Cause when you're not here nothing's any fun.
But I believe our time is gonna come.

I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna
I believe our time is gonna come


3.Keep On Lovin' You

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

(chorus)


4.Stillness Of The Night

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

Midnight on the hill I heard the thunder fill
The stillness of the night
It hit me like a slap, you're never comin' back
From the stillness of the night
It was never black or white, neither wrong or right
Like the shadow of a full moon's light
I knew we'd lost the track, when I heard the lightning crack
The stillness of the night
Chorus

In the stillness of the night
That's when we'll make it right
We can stop the thunder till the light
In the stillness of the night

I know you think you hear, those voices in your ear
In the stillness of the night
But I've tried to make it clear there's nothing left to fear
Just the stillness of the night
And if you listen hard you might find the reason for your fright
Just the wind is high tonight
And the danger we must face is the anger of this race
In the stillness of the night

Chorus


5.The Key

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I couldn't fall asleep all last night my mind was racin'
I left so much behind to find the dream that I was chasin'
And now I have a need to take a look at what is real
I need to learn to live and love and breathe and touch and feel
Chorus

But all I really know is what I see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone would open up my heart and look inside of me
But I'm the only one who holds the key

Your body aglow as if to show you peacefully dreamin'
So only you could know that deep inside somebody was screamin'
And callin' out to anyone who could help you through the night
And hopin' that someone would come along to make it right

But all you really know is what you see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone could open up your soul and set the demon free
But your the only one who holds the key


6.Keep The Fire Burnin

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on
Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long
You've been changing so much
I'm not sure your in touch with what's real
You just come and you go
Never letting me know how you feel
And I'm livin here in doubt
There's so much to talk about
I know that we can work it out

Chorus

We've been through this enough
It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
This is where we belong
We are strong, we can never give up
If we wanted to we could
But we've always understood
To keep lookin' for the good


7.Only the Strong Survive

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

You may not know this but you are everything you've ever needed.
Heaven with a touch of New York. Silver with a touch of gold.
And I can see where you're goin', but I don't really know the
way.
It's got too many changes, too much rearranging,
Too many ways to go astray.
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I heard it was hard
I heard it was long
But we'll come back alive
'Cause only the strong survive

You walk on a wire, make a game of desire, pitchin' pennies down
a wishing well.
You're leading the blind through there high and low times, but
baby can you lead yourself?
So calm down, honey, forget about the money. If you need me I'll
always be there.
Go ride your high horse alone of course
'Cause if you need me I'll always care


8.Music Man

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

Recently I've been thinkin about what I am and where my
priorities lie
Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what I need to
get by
I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues, it doesn't
really matter to me
As long as I'm playin the music I just can't lose, and noones
gonna tell me differently
Cause all I really care about is sittin right here in my hands,
oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her I'm just goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh
yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
(repeat) yeah

(solo)

Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her that I'm goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh
yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

Well I've told you my story now here's what I've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life people been tryin to tell me what I am,
oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah
(repeat)


9.Shakin It Loose

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

She looked at me with fire in her eyes.
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries,
and she tried as she might.
But I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.
She said honey, 'Forget me quick.'
Another fool, another Hollywood trick.
Movin' on a red light.
But I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

I got to go there's someone on the phone.
Knock on my door, but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
And I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
I'm gonna make it.
Shakin' it loose tonight.


10.I Need You Tonight

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

How can I show you?
I take back what I told you.
'Cause something happens when I hold you,
And that makes everything all right.
And oh... oh... I need you tonight.
I just need you tonight.
I wrote all I can write.
I just need you tonight.

In need you tonight.

Secrets I keep here.
Buried so very deep here.
If only somehow you could sleep here,
you'd make everything all right.
