1.I Don't Wanna
I ain't here to hold you when you cry
I ain't here to hold your shaky hand
I ain't here to look you in the eye
Or beg for you to understand
I ain't gonna walk you thru your dreams
Walk you thru this life that we all know
I ain't here to listen while you speak
I ain't here to heal your broken soul
Am i here at all？
I ain't here to tell you what you need
I ain't gonna take a noble stand
I ain't here to look you in the eye
Or beg for you tjo understand
I can only tell you what i've seen
I can only tell you how it felt
While my heart was crushed to bad inside
Till i felt the hatred slowly melt
I don't wanna
I ain't gonna watch your every move
I ain't gonna dog your every step
I ain't here to shape your every mood
I ain't here to keep your secrets kept
Oh, but if i held you in my arms
If i could squeeze you till we cry
I don't wanna lose this love i feel
I don't wanna lose this fight tonite
I ain't gonna
I ain't here to hold you when you cry
I ain't here to hold your shaky hand
I ain't here to look you in the eye
I don't want you under my command
I can only hope you feel your tears
I can only wish you'd feel the hope
I can only hope that i can see
Out beyond this skin that covers me
Oh, how i wish that you were here
If i could hold you in my arms
Oh, how i wish that you were mine
I don't wanna beg for you no more
I ain't gonna tell you how i feel
I ain't gonna tell you how i feel
I ain't gonna pray for you to love me
I just know it!
2.It Could Have Been Me
It could have been me
Living in that house
With all those rooms
With all that power
And powerful friends
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Living on that street
Out in the cold
Nothing to eat
Dream of a home
Dream of a bride
A life alone
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Lying in that jungle
Out in that heat
Fighting of my life
Dying for nothin'
Feeling a bullet enter my soul
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
Living in that prison
Locked in a cage
Damning the walls
Damn the division
Wondering why it had to be me
Well, it cold have been you
It could have been me
It could have been me
3.The Woods
I can see night in the day time
Into the woods i quietly go
It takes all the strength i have in me
These are the woods
The night of the soul
Painful to see
Love without action
Painful to see years of neglect
Achin' to see all that they see
Still telling lies to the remains of respect
Creatures we are worth defending
It takes the right word said from the heart
Given to you without ending
Given to you, the purpose of art
Thousands of plans, i've made many
I wonder just how many plans i have made
Feelin' this mood overtake me
Finally to see the truth as it fades
Out of these woods will you take me
Out of these woods, out of the strom
Sinless child can you save me
Guilty man, freedom is yours
4.In The River
When i was quite young
I had learned to fear
I was taought to listen
But not to hear
From my mother's arms
I was cruelly torn
And they whipped my ass
On the day i was born
Little brother died
At the age of five
They said, 'he lost his soul, he was not
Baptized'
But the river flows
And the heavens cry
And we'll all be drowned
In the river, in the river
In the river, in the river
I remember my sister
On her saddest day
When the boy she loved
Had been called away
Seems he gave his life
In a foreign land
Still my sister cries
She never understands
Now the world is hard
And the cowards lie
And the fool loves war
And the gentle die
But the river flows
And the heavens cry
And we'll all be drowned
In the river, in the river
In the river, in the river
Well, we built a dam
When the first rains fell
We built it high
And we built it well
But the waters rose
Like a beast from hell
Now my house is gone
And the town as well
So we gather here
For a silent prayer
For the lives we lost
And the love we shared
Still the river flows
And the heavens cry
And we'll all be found
In the river, in the river
In the river, in the river
5.Day Or Night
Somewhere between pain and pleasure
The day goes by
Somewhere between word and action
The day goes by
You can try me without witness
You can tie me to the stake
I may burn, but i'll still be with you
Day or night, night or day
Don't you see you're the last to know
Your mind is dead, your heart won't grow
Nice and steady, then weeks behind
I've seen you there, i've seen you hide
I wanna know your mind's on me
Look at me now, face towards me
If you want me, you can find me
Day or night, night or day
The hours slipping slowly by
I look inside again
I see the emptiness exposing
All i have, all i am
I love the whispers in your eyes
I look to stay alive
Don't you want me, you can have me
Day or night, night or day
Somewhere between pain and pleasure
Somewhere between heel and toe
Someone walks the straight and narrow
Another lets the demons go
How can i lie here without feeling
You lift me up, you make me whole
I can trust you, will you look for me
Day or night, night or day
6.Too Many Tears
Now as you know
It's your time on this earth
From a rock in the cradle
To a ride in the hearse
We keep moving upward
Toward everything free
Kindly look downward
The more you'll see me
I've had six years of luck
I've had six on the line
And i've poured myself out
Like an old bitter wine
I've seen much of nothin'
And nothin's the gain
Thrown on my backside
I don't know my name
There's too many tears
Too many tears
Too many people
In too many years
Some tears of laughter
Some tears of pain
Break like a fever
And fall like the rain
Points on the map, tears line the way
I've seen all your pretty things
And it won't stop the pain
There's been much confusion
With too many hurt
I feel my words dyin'
Down in the dirt
I've had lies in my head
There been lies in my heart
I've been tortured by this riddle
And i don't know how to stop
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys
And my mind starts to click
So do what you must do
And you best do it quick
Doctor, oh doctor
My world's in you hands
I feel like i'm dyin'
And boy i need a plan
Sister, sweet sister
There's blood on my lips
Why does it feel like
This room's doing flips
The rains come on time
It's clear i can tell
I've seen your work everywhere
And there's mercy in hell
With a lightning flash and thunder, boys
And again it all comes down
Do you see your life merging
With these poor souls on the ground
7.Expecting
All at once it happens
You find yourself involved
No escape can hide you
Sleep provides no rest at all
Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
Caught beneath the surface
Worlds lie in between
You know the search will tae you
Out beyond the world of things
What am i to say here？
Words so often fail
How am i to wake you？
From your sleep and left the
Veil from your eyes
Will i find love with you？
I expect love from you
Will i find love here with you？
All my expectations
Fall upon this frozen ground
Fall upon this holy ground
Did not mean to hurt you
It was envy i suppose
Once that passion takes you
It chills the body and the soul
What am i to do here？
Words so often fail
How am i to wake you？
From you sleep and lift the
Veil from your eyes
Will i find love with you？
I expect love from you
Will i find love here with you？
Can't go on like this much longer
Meet me in this lonely place
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
Telling every wish and secret
Saying every word out loud
Can't go on like this much longer
Cannot hide here in this crowd
Why you chose to bear this likeness
Live inside this skin and bone
Wrath becomes the loving kindness
Heals the body and the soul
Waking every sleeping passion
Every single thought restored
Can't go on like this much longer
Lift the veil and let it fall
8.Memory
In my memory
I can still see that face
In my memory
I can still hear the voice
I remember talkin' with you
The stories i could tell
In my memory, i remember you still
You gave the poet words to speak
You were the sun to warm my days
You put us in each others hands
You gave me love before i asked
In my memory
I can still see that face
In my memory
I can still hear the voice
I remember talkin' with you
The stories i could tell
In my memory, i remember you still
I feel my heart will surely break
I've taken all that i can take
You were the light for me to see
You were the sky that covered me
In my memory
I can still see that face
In my memory
I can still hear the voice
I remember talkin' with you
For hours by the well
In my memory, i remember you still
In my memory i can still see the eyes
In my memory
I can still feel your touch
I remember talkin' with you
The stories i could tell
In my memory, i remember you still
9.Walk Walk
Help me, help me
Help me in this hour
Hold me, hold me
Hold me in your power
Walk, walk, walk with me
And tell me everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me what i need to know
'cause i'm standing by the ocean
Waiting for my ship to sail
Cool me, cool me
Cool me from the flames
Tell me, tell me
Tell me what's your name
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me all i need to know
'cause i'm standing at the station
Waitin' for the train to roll
Guide me, guide me
Guide me thu this maze
Lead me, lead me
Lead me thru the haze
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me all i need to know
'cause i'm stranded on this island
Waitin' for my love to show
Hear me, hear me
Hear me in this hour
Help me, help me
Help me climb your tower
Walk, walk, walk with me
And tell me everything you know
Walk, walk, walk with me
Tell me all i need to know
'cause i'm standing at the crossroads
Waitin' for the guide to show
Let's walk éééé
