"Do What You Do"

"Do What You Do"



Slow down that's right
Give it all you got
Yeah you got the right stuff
Kick back let go
Trust yourself you know
Yeah what you got is good enough

Hey don't give 'em what they think they want
'Cause they don't have a clue
Yeah if you really wanna give 'em something different
Something to sink their teeth into
Well baby then you just do what you do

All eyes were on Alice
They laughed and made her cry
Yeah she was a little different
But hey you know what
She found a way to fly
You see Alice she got her strength from the inside

Hey don't give 'em what they think they want
'Cause they don't have a clue
Yeah if you really wanna give 'em something different
Something to sink their teeth into
Well baby then you just do what you do

The cost of living just went up today
As soon as you started doing things your way
You'll be shakin' 'em off your coattails from every side
They'll be trying to catch that free ride

Hey don't give 'em what they think they want
'Cause they don't have a clue
Yeah if you really wanna give 'em something different
Something to sink their teeth into
Well baby then you just do what you do
Do what you do
Do what you do

"Do You Hear What I Hear"

"Do You Hear What I Hear"



Said the night wind to the little lamb,
do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king,
do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere,
listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

"Don't Cost A Dime"

"Don't Cost A Dime"



It's a big world to walk through, honey
And if you've got love, you don't need money
You're gonna get caught in the toughest times
You hold each other and you hold the line
You kiss on the mornings when the sun won't shine
And that don't cost a dime

It's a big world to walk through, honey
And if you've got love, you don't need money
You can't get lost in the dollar signs
You take each night one day at a time
You live on water until it turns into wine
And that don't cost a dime

Climb out of bed and step outside
Look up ahead, it's all blue sky
You already have what really matters most in this life

It's a big world to walk through, honey
And if you've got love, you don't need money
You're gonna get caught in the toughest times
You hold each other and you hold the line
For what it's worth, there's my advice
And that don't cost a dime

That don't cost a dime, yeah
Love don't cost a dime, yeah, yeah

"Everybody Does"

"Everybody Does"


This ain't the first time you've fallen in love
With your heart wide open
Feeling just like a fool knowing that
You're the only one left holding on
He broke your heart
You can't cry hard enough
But you're not the only one

[Chorus]
Everybody loves someone
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody says they'll never fall again
But everybody does
Yeah, everybody does

How many times have you said he's the one
And found out that he wasn't
Always thinking it's gonna hurt forever
But then one day it doesn't anymore
You've come so far
Still a long way to go
Just remember you're never alone

[Repeat Chorus]

Everybody jumps in
Never really knowin'
Where it's really goin'
You just have to trust in
Your heart, oh yeah

[Repeat Chorus]

"Everybody Wants To Be Loved"

"Everybody Wants To Be Loved"



Crash, burn, tell me why don't we learn
Trip, fall, hit another big wall
We just keep on goin'

Everybody wants to be loved
By somebody
Everybody wants to be loved
By somebody

On, off, keep on findin' we're lost
We push, we pull, I guess we never get full
We just keep on dreaming
And dreamin' and

Everybody wants to be loved
By somebody
Everybody wants to be loved
By somebody

Its hard, so hard
To build it up and watch it shatter
Its hard, so hard
But its the only thing that matters

Oh, everybody wants to be loved
By somebody
Somebody, baby
Everybody wants to be loved
By somebody
By somebody
Yeah

Everybody in the whole wide world
Everybody, every boy and girl
Everybody in the whole wide world
Everybody, every boy and girl
Everybody in the whole wide world
Everybody, every boy and girl
Everybody in the whole wide world
Everbody, every boy and girl

"For These Times"

"For These Times"



In these times in which we live
Where the worst of what we live
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
And the sound of someone's heartbreak
Is a soundbite at the news break
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
And stops to pray
For these times in which we live

In these most uncertain hours
Where the balance of power
Is a fight that is fought every day
And freedom is a word
Some cry out and some whisper
And some are just too quick to give away
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
On the battle line
For these times in which we live

Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
And arms I will open wide

For these times in which we live
Seems like the only answer is
Givin' up on findin' one at all
And we hide behind unsure
Pull the blinds and lock the doors
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
And the only breath of life
For these times in which we live

Well give me a heart full of tender mercy
And arms I will open wide
Yeah give me words full of loving kindness
And hands ready to hold up a light
For these times in which we live
For these times in which we live

"From The Ashes"

"From The Ashes"



My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast
I'm gonna step into the fire
With my failures and my shame
And wave goodbye to yesterday
As I dance among the flames

So don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

For all that I'm losing much more will I gain
The hard part is choosing
To change what needs changed
My step will be much lighter
With these demons off my chest
I'm born a better spirit
And lay the old to rest

So don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

And I'll walk away stronger
I will be flyin'
Higher and truer
Than I've flown before

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast

"God's Will"

"God's Will"


I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first

His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway, it almost
Made me hurt

Will don't walk too good
Will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do,
In our neighborhood

[Chorus:]
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will

Will's mom had to work two jobs
We'd watch him when she had to work late
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
Since I don't know when

Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him

[Chorus]

Before they moved to California
His mother said, they didn't think he'd live
And she said each day that I have him, well it's just
another gift
And I never got to tell her, that the boy
Showed me the truth
In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written
Me and God love you

I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded
I guess I would be still
Yeah that was until...
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves

"Goin' To Work"

"Goin' To Work"



The alarm went off but I wasn't asleep
After tossin' and turnin' all night what a relief
To go to work, get up and go to work
So I get onto the highway and I head into town
There's one part of my life I won't let you tear down
Yeah and that's my work-right now I'm goin' to work

When the whistle blows, I'll be there
Life goes on even when it's not fair
And who's got time to hurt, right now
I got to go to work

Now I remember what it is I do
For a while I thought my life was just loving you
But now it's back to work
Oh thank God for my work
So from nine to five I take a break from an empty
Bed and a heart that aches, I'm good at my work
Oh I'm good at my work

When the whistle blows, I'll be there
Life goes on even when it's not fair
And who's got time to hurt, right now
I got to go to work

Oh I got to stay busy that's the only way
Throw myself into my business and collect my pay
Watch me keep it together while I fall apart
'Cause a world won't stop for a broken heart
Oh no, no

When the whistle blows, I'll be there
Life goes on even when it's not fair
And who's got time to hurt, right now
I got to go to work
Watch me I'm goin' to work
Oh yeah you know I'm good at my work
Right now I'm goin' to work
Goin' to work

"Good Bye"

"Good Bye"



Occurred to me the other day
You been gone now a couple years
Well I guess it takes a while
For someone to really disappear
And I remember where I was
When the word came about you
It was a day much like today
The sky was bright and wide and blue

And I wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye

Today my heart is big and sore
It's tryin' to push right through my skin
Won't see you anymore
I guess that's finally sinkin' in
'Cause you can't make somebody see
With the simple words you say
All their beauty from within
Sometimes they just look away

And I wonder where you are
And if the pains ends when you die
And I wonder if there was
Some better way to say goodbye
Some better way to say goodbye
