Hey yea, Hey yea Making love to you is never second best I miss looking in your eyes I'm lost in tempered skies And there's a reason why I lied But I can’t be held responsible I've fallen for the first time No I can’t be held responsible I'm in love for the first time... Hey yea, Hey yea Chorus

Prophecy -written by Steve Johnson Baby, this is my prophecy I cannot fight it for I am in my odyssey The strange tales of my fantasies Are caused by my dreams yes, only by my dreams I cannot fight the holy word Well it means too much to me I’m walking down the street And I fall down to my knees Chorus Hold me in the water Label me a martyr I don’t care what you say You know I’m here to stay, stay, stay Try to take me away, away, away Bridge Dearly beloved we are gathered here tonight To pay homage the ones we love Take hold of your brothers and sisters by the hand And show the love, show the love It’s a new world order... Show the love, the love, the love
Rock A Bye -written by Steve Johnson Call me honey call me anything But please don’t waste my time I cherished all our moments together But our love is a silent lullaby Life seems simple but it’s so damn hard Chasing down distant memories I wish somehow it can all get better Chorus Rock A Bye Baby, I'm a leaving Chances are I ain't coming back Kiss me good bye my darlin And hold me close for one more night I love you baby good by I'm a saint, I’m a sinner and I can’t hide no more So hold me now darlin I can’t keep running away I’m tired as hell So let me sleep in your arms again Your my angel amen, your my angel, You’re my angel amen All my dreams just seem to fade away I look toward the sky and start crying When I’m not next to you I’m incomplete So please don’t deny me from traveling on Chorus
The Kettle -written by Charity Nuse In this small pond we are swimming Dreamin of the blue skies we could be liven In the end we are one in the same In the end only god still matters Sit and think about a new tomorrow No need to fret about your sorrow Only sunshine keeps bringing down the rain Washin footprints left from greed & shame, Greed & shame Pre-Chorus Speak to me with your laughter in good rhyme Punish me with your shoulder all the time Talk to me as we walk along la-di-da Promise us it will always get better Always gettin’ better Chorus It was hard, it was hard, it was hard But it all works out in the end-2x Gain strength from the trials you go through Give back this language doesn’t teach that Spin a web filled with love friends and enemies Add your name and lend it to the lost at sea That no one else has ever had before Brew me up some love up some fire Make it wild and don’t forget the Shire, Shire Pre-Chorus/ Chorus Shed the skin that once became you Culminate into something all brand new Feel the pounds lift as you forgive them all Chains break and your spiritual side grows Harmony contingence in your melody Melodic indifference all swept with the breeze Everyone gets exactly what they need Leave a little left over for the Kettle, Kettle oh Pre-Chorus/ Chorus Chorus repeat Pre-Chorus/ Chorus Chorus repeat
The Two of Us -written by Steve Johnson There's a love light in your eyes There's a change of life in the sky There's bloodshed on common ground There's a dream world between lost and found Chorus The Two of us, can go to places No one else has ever been before Everybody has a dream that's not outdated Everybody's had a chance but hesitated Everybody wants some time But just can't find it Everybody's had some time But there way behind it The two of us, we've had things That no one else has ever had before Everybody wants some love and understanding Everybody wants the touch of the velvet hand Everybody needs some space time for reflection Some peace of mind and a new direction The Two of us we've felt things That no one else has ever felt before Bridge The trains rollin' Better hop on or get out the way This is a new time a better day Oh Mama, Oh Mama, Oh Mama Why do they say I am crazy, crazy? I may be up and down, Turned around back and forth But I'm on my feet again
Sing to Me -written by Kev Rowe I said hey there girl why don’t you lose Those walking shoes? I will sing you a song If you’d like me to And she said... Chorus Sing to me so sweetly Hold me close with melody Sing to me all through the night There’s a man driving in his car He snaps his fingers on his way to the bar He says, I should have been a musician I could have gone so far and he said... Chorus An elder woman sits down at her piano And cries for the lovers she has lost She says, I was the beauty queen of Texas But that title came at such a cost and she said... Chorus
Whisper -written by Steve Johnson Whisper in the wind, whisper in the snow Whisper to the people, say go, go ,go Whisper in the wind, whisper in the snow Whisper to the people say go, go ,go Say go, go, go, Say go, go, go, Say go, go, ,go Through the cold rain and snow Moonshiner turn that corn to Gold Take me to the river lord and save my soul
Sometimes -written by Charity Nuse Sometimes, it’s better off to work it out If you can see clearly, there might be a chance So why don’t you talk to me and tell me all your secrets And if your waiting for the go, Then you’re waitng for a lifetime baby Cuz I’ve been fooled before, I’m still waiting for the real you I remember, when your eyes, they told me you’d always Understand who I am and what I’ve done Now things get so complicated your hiding in that pale Horizon with your eyes closed I can’t I won’t let you wear that mask any longer, oh no Chorus Is there a promise in your breath? Let me know cuz I’ve been fooled before, I’m still waiting for the real you I’m not a puppet on a string And these chains have to break If you believe I know this situation Can work out for us if you believe It takes some healing and some understanding, Baby steps honey So let’s be open in the sunshine And turn this new page right Chorus Cuz I’ve been fooled before, I’m still here Please show me the real you, I can see the real you
Salvation Cry -written by Steve Johnson There's a rain falling down And it spills on the ground And it lifts up the whole world with life And there’s a well on the hill And only time will tell If it fills up with Salvation Cry Chorus Redemption is the word That holds on to me As I look at the sky So drenched and so free But it seems like I can’t fight Or hold on to you So I look for the answers and hope they are true As the stars twinkle bright And it lifts up the sky It seems like the moon shines just for me And as the dawn meets the night And the sky fills with light I crouch down on one bended knee Chorus There's a lake between two hills And a town that stands still And a river that keeps pouring in I think times met its match Left your heart with a scratch It feels like your left alone again Chorus There's a rain falling down And it spills on the ground And it lifts up the whole world with life And there’s a well on the hill And only time will tell If it fills up with Salvation Cry Chorus

Like a Memory -written by Steve Johnson A wise old brittle man Speaks of the brighter day They’ll be a time when love and laughter shines It’s way back in the world again And the child, the small fragile child will have love to give once more And the world, this old and battered world Will be free from hate and war Chorus It’s like a memory In the back of my mind Where their hearts and souls Are one with the golden divine It’s like a memory On the tip of my tongue I’m speaking the words of love So we can live as One... ~So the world will be one~ I pray each and every day For peace in this world of ours But I see the innocent and free Imprisioned by metal bars And I lose confidence in truth Watching the world at war And I hope with all my heart and soul we can live in fear no more Chorus I’m speaking the words of love ~So the world will be one~
