You're running scared, you're not prepared
that's undeniable
Shows you how much I know
I will admit to bein' a bit
less than reliable
That's as far as I'll, go
Just look at me, I thought my dreams
were unachievable
Shows how much I know
I've had my share of wear & tear
It's inconceivable
That's as far as I'll go
[bridge]
And what if all that I say is a lie
You would never know
so let's keep it simple and we'll do all right
That is all I know
Call me na've, but I believe
I'm private property
Shows you how much I know
Maybe a word will help much to curb
your curiosity
That's as far as I'll go
[chorus]
You know all you need to know
That's as far as I will go
You know all you need to know
That's as far as I'll go
So let me guess, I souldn't question
your sincerity
Show you how much I know
And should you ask I'll raise a glass
to mediocrity
That's as far as I'll go
[repeat bridge]
[repeat chorus]
Just look at me, I thought my dreams
were unachievable
Shows you how much I know
I've had my share of wear & tear
It's inconceivable
That's as far as I'll go
[repeat chorus]
Oh Maria (Sam Roberts)
You could never compromise
I could never satisfy you at all
Always thought you had gentle eyes
Then you've had me institutionalized (twice before)
Before I was a young man
Now look at me, I'm just younger than old
The years don't seem to touch you
It makes me wonder what you sold
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
You lived on the seventh floor
It was far from heaven but it meant more
You said things that were hard to ignore
My conversation makes you bored
You always hated wedding bells
You'd go out riding with the Hell's and say
Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
So how's it going to be, Maria?
Will it be you and me?
Or will it be
Five more years of counting my tears
Five more years of living in fear
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Saw a photograph of you today
Your eyes look tired, but you haven't aged
And now I see that you made the front page
Married for the money and you blew him away
Oh Maria, when you were doing time
You only had five words on your mind
"Life is for the taking
Life is for the taking"
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
Oh my Maria
I'll never change you, I know
I know
I need to see you
That never changes, oh no
I beg for my supper at night
If this is love then it don't feel right
And my heart's burning out of control
They gave her five, but she's out on parole
Hey hey hey
This girl is leading me astray
Listen what I say
This girl is leading me astray
Footsteps In The Hall (Elvis Costello)
The sound is getting closer
The footsteps in the hall
I can hear them talking
I listen through the wall
It sounds to me like someone is
heading for a fall
Maybe I should follow
the footsteps in the hall
[chorus]
Do what you want to
You're too late
I'm watching you
Do what you want to
It's far too late
I'm on to you
Now I hear the door close
I step out in the hall
I listen through the doorway
I listen through the wall
Maybe I could stop this or maybe I should call
It sound to me like someone is
heading for a fall
[repeat chorus]
The elevator opens
I run back to my room
I hear a lot of voices
They'll get him very soon
I don't know when he's comin'
I don't know what to do
Now the room is silent
We'll all be in the news
[repeat chorus]
Now here comes the victim
He doesn't have a clue
Then I hear the room scream
"surprise" this night's for you
Remember Me (Edenbridge)
Hey you
You were second to none
But time has stolen your crown
Can you
Remember panning for gold
(but) your star has waned into sundown
The writing's on the wall
You're by the way to fall
So take your final curtain call
[chorus:]
Until kingdom come remember me
Take me back into the sheen
A bag of dreams one final reverie
The seamy side of life unseen
See the meteor rise
Every step all of the way
You got a fire alight cause you're came to stay
You've got oceans of time
A meeting of minds at all
You wished for the moon, could not hear the call
You wither on the vine
All along the line
Elation from a far off time
Seek and you'll find
The answers behind
Will you remember me?
[chorus x2]
And Shot Each Other (The Chariot)
Embrace reaction, reaction
We ain't God, but here he comes
Destiny is real and she comes with a smile
Passing by your grave, reach the plague [x5]
Black plague [x4] In this city that never speaks
And wakes up swinging
And we'll paint the rivers red
It's fate because they sing the same songs
But they just keep singing
And up above every storm is the day
Shake hands with fate and with fate shake hands
How happy is every child of grace who
Feels his sins forgiven. This world, He cries, is
Not my place. I seek a place in heaven
A country far from mortal site, yet
Oh, by faith I see the land of rest
The saints' delight, a heaven prepared for me
Oh, what a blessed hope is ours while
Here on earth we stay. We more than taste
The heavenly powers and antedate that day
We feel the resurrection near
Our life in Christ concealed, and with his glorious
Presence here our earthen vessels filled
We Will Fly (Russell Allen)
Well, here we are
It's the world against us again
Again and again
Heartbreak after heartbreak, we forced the wings of love into the wind
Again and again
All our lives we struggled, I've come to realize
I've always found the strength to fight when I see your eyes
In your eyes
We will fly, you and I
Wherever we go, whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard, but it's just another bend
Just another little bend in the road
Oh yes it is, just a little bend
A little bend in the road
Where do they go?
Youthful years, they slip away
Far, far away
Been gone too long
Home is where I want to stay
Always, always
For so long I've struggled just to get back
I've always found the strength to fight when I see your eyes
In your eyes
We will fly, you and I
Wherever we go, whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard, but it's just another bend
Just another little bend in the road
Oh yes it is, just a little bend
A little bend in the road
So here we are
Playing the same old game again
Again and again
Against the odds, we seem to find a way to win
Again and again
All of life's a struggle, you've come to realize
In faith you find the strength to climb, to reach the sky
We will fly, you and I
Wherever we go, whatever road we choose
We can't lose
There'll be days when the going is hard, but it's just another bend
Just another bend in the road
Oh yes it is, just a little bend
Oh, baby, it is just a little bend
Oh, baby, baby, just a little bend
Oh baby, yeah, yes it is
U (Edgewater)
Are you really who you say you are?
You walk all over broken hearts
Has it been so bad that I'm just a joke to you?
You can't take it back you've gone to far
You tear me down and leave your scars
But when you think back, you will remember
Hey you, I tried
But the promises you break
And everything you say
Doesn't mean a thing
Cause everything's a fake
Just like you
There was a time I trusted you
I lost myself, then found the truth
That I had been cheated and I will remember
Did you, did you, did you see this coming?
Did you, did you, did you feel this coming?
You never thought that I would leave you standing
I left you standing
I HAD THE LAST LAUGH
Hey you, I tried
But the promises you break
And everything you say
Doesn't mean a thing
Cause everything's a fake
Just like you
Hey you, I tried
But the promises you break
And everything you say
Doesn't mean a thing
Cause everything's a fake
Just like you
Everything's fake like you
I never want to be the one you break
The one you take and throw away
I never want to be the one you hate
But I can�â??t win so I just walk away
Did you, did you, did you see this coming?
Did you, did you, did you feel this coming?
You never thought that I would leave you standing
I left you standing
I HAD THE LAST LAUGH
Hey you, I tried
But the promises you break
And everything you say
Doesn't mean a thing
Cause everything's a fake
Just like you
Hey you, I tried
But the promises you break
And everything you say
Doesn't mean a thing
Cause everything's a fake
Just like you
Mercy Came Running (Gina G)
Once there was a Holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can almost see Mercy's face
Pressed against the veil
Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail
And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way
Chorus:
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures
To the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me
Once there was a broken heart
Way too human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid
Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away
I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in
Chorus
Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me
Chorus
When God Ran (Phillips, Craig And Dean)
Luke 15:20 (NIV)
Almighty God,
The Great I Am
Immovable Rock,
Omnipotent, Powerful
Awesome Lord
Victorious Warrior,
Commanding King of Kings,
Mighty Conqueror
And the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest
Said "My Son's come home again".
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
He caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered then if
Things could ever be the same
Then one night
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road,
Ahead I could see
It was the only time,
It was the only time
I ever saw Him run.
And then...
He ran to me
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest
Said "My Son's come home again".
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
He caught me by surprise.
And He brought me to my knees.
When God ran...
I saw Him run to me.
Bridge:
I was so ashamed,
All alone, and so far away.
But now I know
He's been waiting for this day...
I saw Him run to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest,
Said "My Son's come home again!"
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice
I felt His love for me again.
He ran to me,
He took me in His arms,
Held my head to His chest,
Said "My Son's come home again!"
Lifted my face,
Wiped the tears from my eyes,
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son"
He called me Son.
He said "Son,
Do you know I still love You?"
He ran to me (When God Ran)
(I saw Him run to me)
And then I ran to Him
(When God ran)
When God ran
Summer Rain (Whitesnake)
Lately Ive been thinking
Even tho' Im miles away
I can feel your love around me
Youre with me every day
And of all the roads Ive traveled
All that Ive been thro'
No matter where life takes me
Im never far from you
You warm me like the morning sun
With you my life has just begun
Love comes over me
Falling like summer rain
Like summer rain
Pour your love on me
Feeling like summer rain
Like summer rain
Ive travelled each and every highway
With you in my heart
But all the gold and silver
Cant keep us apart
You warm me like the morning sun
With you my life has just begun
Love comes over me
Falling like summer rain
Like summer rain
Pour your love on me
Feeling like summer rain
Like summer rain
You warm me like the morning sun
Baby, youre the only one
Love comes over me
Falling like summer rain
Like summer rain
Pour your love on me
Feeling like summer rain
Like summer rain
