Freedom Ride
04:01

Let's head out on a freedom ride
We won't go down the wrong road
I only want to ease your mind
On a freedom ride
They always have a lot to say
But all their voices fade away
The more we move ourselves along
On a freedom ride
Hope the best and wish them well
We'll see them somewhere down the line
We can leave it all behind
On a freedom ride
Give me a chance to set you free
I know you'd do the same for me
It can happen so easily
On a freedom ride

Work Out Right
02:44
|
|||
|
I spend most of my time
All in the same place
Searchin' for signs
That everything's gonna work out right
That everything's gonna work out right
I work hard everyday
To get home to you
But it takes too long
Before I get you at the end of the night
Before I get you at the end of the night
And it's all the same
After awhile
And I'll do it over and over again
For everything to turn out right
For everything to work out right
For everything to work out right
For everything to work out right

Endless Days
02:44
|

|
There are days
Endless days
That seem to stretch out longer than they should
And there are nights
That come too soon
Before I feel like I have done a bit of good
And it ain't right
To have to say
That you just need to get through the day
If you say it too many times
You'll turn old and gray
With the feeling that too many days have passed you by
And it's easy
Too damn easy
To lose track of time and lose another day
When my lady
She is with me
I turn the clock to face the wall and I find a better way
The sun comes up
And the sun goes down
And in between I try to earn some bread
But money don't mean a thing
If you ain't got time
And I'd rather spend all my time with you instead
And my eyes are open now
To gaze upon the light of your love
And the darkness won't claim me in the end
With the feelin' that too many days have passed me by

A Good Thing Now
03:18
|
|||
|
Hey pretty babe why are you all the way
At the other end of the room
Change your direction
Don't lose your connection
To a good thing now
A man Sunday driving sped through a red light
To get himself closer to God
Change your direction
Don't lose your connection
To a good thing now
I tried bein' friendly to those who weren't good to me
They weren't even good to themselves
Change your direction
Don't lose your connection
To a good thing now
It ain't easy knowing and it's hard to understand
Why every step that we take don't always take us where we planned
But we keep on walking anyway
And sometimes it's clear to you just what you need to do
But fear can lead you astray
It spreads like infection
Don't lose your connection
To a good thing now
To a good thing now

We Have Left the Ground
03:24
|
|||
|
Put on your magic shirt and let's fly
We gotta lift our spirits high
We have left the ground
We have left the ground
Again
All of your words have wings
Let 'em fly whenever you please
Tell me of a memory
Of climbing up a hill to look down to see
That we left the ground
We have left the ground
Again
We don't worry anymore
We ain't bound to the floor
We have left the ground
We have left the ground
Again

Return Home
03:29
|

|
If you go on blamin' everybody
For what you done
And you ain't sure that you're right
But you just can't stand being wrong
Well it's a long hard road my friend
That you're bound to find
I hope you don't mind
Some complication there
On your
Return home
When familiar feelings surround you
And that old highway winds down to
Return you home
We've all been there my friend
I ain't meaning to condescend
But we've all been there
Plenty of times before
Just take a look into my eyes
And I know that you will find
That when you look in the mirror
You'll see the same eyes there
You'll have to learn to love yourself
Before you can love anyone else
It takes all the love in the world
To reach the truth
Even though you don't tell lies
Lying is a part of your life
But lying is far too heavy
A burden to bear
On your
Return home
When familiar feelings surround you
And that old highway winds down to
Return you home
Return home
When familiar feelings surround you
Let that old highway wind down to
Return you home

Golden Days Yet to Come
04:37
|
|||
|
Either you are a part of my day
Or you are in my way
You can hop on board if you like
But only if you want to stay
Look out baby here I come
All this worryin' can leave you numb
We'll only spend what we can afford
So let your mind wander some
On the golden days yet to come
Golden days yet to come
So many people sharpen their knives
They get better at it everyday of their lives
It's a strange way to be
But that don't concern you or me
Leave the world at the door
You don't need that weight anymore
Knives are sharp but they don't leave scars
As long as you dream of what's in store
On those golden days yet to come
Golden days yet to come
I went outside and the world came crashing down
I had a notion to be leavin' town
But you can't escape from everywhere
So I did not cry nor make a sound
The seasons change without a care
God is shifting in his rocking chair
But I don't worry about the coming storm
As long as you'll always be waiting there
In those golden days yet to come
Golden days yet to come

Upon Today
04:01
|
|||
|
How could we have ever known
The kind of path that we were on
I ain't too concerned with the past
But that don't mean I easily forget
How we came
To gather our love
Upon today
Well if the past is made of stone and the future is made of clay
Throw the stone into the water and let the wave carry us away
Upon today
Upon today
Now that we've found what we need
And it seems so clear to us now
That tomorrow can wear a disguise
And yesterday won't tell us any lies
About how we came
To gather our love
Upon today
Well I recall tomorrow as if it were only yesterday
Throw the stone into the water and let the wave carry us away
Upon today
Upon today

Keep On Dreamin'
04:48

Standin', I am standin'
In a dream, in a dream
Dancin', my mind is dancin'
In a dream, in a dream
Swimmin', I am swimmin'
In our dream, in our dream
Hopin', I am hopin'
That our dream
Becomes real
Well I ain't tired but I've been awake for so long
I ain't ready for sleepin' and nothing is gonna slow me down
And it's a natural thing for me to do, it's a natural thing
To keep dreamin'
Keep on dreamin'
Keep on dreamin'
Dreamin' about me and you
Colors, I see colors
In my dream, in my dream
Racin', my heart is racin'
As I dream, as I dream
Future, I see the future
In our dreams, in our dreams
Hopin', I am hopin'
That our dreams
Become real
And it's a natural thing for me to do, it's a natural thing
To keep dreamin'
Keep on dreamin'
Keep on dreamin'
Dreamin' about me and you
