1. ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

I have afternoon walk down the street before
But the pavement always stay beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I am on the street where you live
All the lilac trees in the heart of town
Can you hear a lurk in any other part of town
Doesn’t chandelle .. at every door
Know it’s just on the street where you live
And all the touring feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The over powering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare they don’t bother me

For there is nowhere else on earth I would rather be
Let the time go by I won’t .. by
Be here on the street where you live
And all the touring feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The over powering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare they don’t bother me
For there is nowhere else on earth I would rather be
Let the time go by I won’t .. by
Be here on the street where you live

2. BRING HIM HOME

God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on


And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

3. COME WHAT MAY

(feat. Kerry Ellis)


Never knew I could feel like this
Like I’ve never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
Listen to my heart
Can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it looms with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a waste

All revolves around you

And there is no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and
I will be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
Stars may collide
But I love you
I love you
Till the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

4. THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM


To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest to follow that star
No matter how hopeless no matter how far
To be willing to give when there’s no more to give

To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I’ll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I’m laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

5. PURE IMAGINATION


Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know

To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be

6. BEING ALIVE

Somebod hold me too close
Somebody hurt me too deep
Somebody sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware of
Being alive... being alive

Somebody need me too much
Somebody know me too well
Somebody pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support for being alive
Being alive


Make me alive, make me confused
Mock me with praise, let me be used
Vary my days, but alone is alone,
Not alive!

Somebody crowd me with love
Somebody force me to care
Somebody make me come through
I'll always be there,
Frightened as you,
To help us survive being alive
Being alive
Being alive
