Shadowlands
The bill arrived a little too late it tried its best to tell the story straight address to Al been gone for 30 years so it goes in this valley of tears
These Shadowlands they think are real They've gotten weird a bit surreal
They cannot cannot hear but they have ears No one listens in this valley of tears
Get up early for work don’t be late make your plans love instead of hate
Live your don't give into your fears It's the best we do in this valley of tears
Shadowlands they think are real They've gotten weird a bit surreal
They cannot cannot hear but they have ears No one listens in this valley of tears
All who listen who hear my voice lighten up while you have a choice
Love those around you with a helping hand
That's what lasts in this shadowland
Are you listening those who have ears Just keeping it real
In this valley of Tears
Shadowlands they think are real They've gotten weird a bit surreal
They cannot cannot hear but they have ears No one listens in this valley of tears
Welcome To My World
In my world everybody is forgiven my world everybody keeps giving my world
resentments are distance welcome to my world
Once upon a time and the time before that people used to think the world was flat
then they got frightened by a big old cat where did they ever come with that ?
Then they started singing Gregorian tunes once they landed a man on the moon
along came a child's balloon it couldn't have come to soon
In my world everybody is forgiven in my world everybody keeps giving in my world
resentments are distance welcome to my world
Then the money came from out of town They put it up and they tore it down Then the circus left with the clowns now I'm sitting here with the old and the new something borrowed but somethings blue it's funny how time just flew standing on the corner will work for food
In my world everybody is forgiven my world everybody keeps giving my world
resentments are distance welcome to my world In Your world you have to scratch and fight check out if you're wrong or right you never
even dream at night and you just sleep right through the day
In my world everybody is forgiven my world everybody keeps giving my world
resentments are distance welcome to my work
Here comes the rain
Here comes the rain again and again here comes the clouds blocking the sun Where is the fun? I’m not ashamed I’m not afraid here comes the rain
All the young girls they sit and pout oldies bands sing twist and shout not too many can figure this out I don't even know what I'm talking about
Here comes the rain again and again here comes the clouds blocking the sun Where is the fun? I’m not ashamed I’m not afraid here comes the rain
Rain comes down to water the earth not too many know what it's worth Shakespeare's in the alley electric pen spring times happening once again
Here comes the rain again and again here comes the clouds blocking the sunWhere is the fun? I’m not ashamed I’m not afraid here comes the rain
Gabriel's ready to blow his horn old McDonald had a farm all the kings horses and all the kings men can't put it back together again
Here comes the rain again and again here comes the clouds blocking the sunWhere is the fun? I’m not ashamed I’m not afraid here comes the rain
I can see a Rainbow
I can see the Sun I’m standing in the rain I can feel the wind wind is on my window pain
And I can see a rainbow There’s some things you just know (CHORUS)
I can feel the wind blow I can see a rainbow
And I can see a woman covered by the Sun Standing on the moon
With stars on in her crown (CHORUS)
And I can see an eagle flying in the sky I didn’t understand it I didn’t question why
And I can see the Earth swallowing the flood And I can see your friends singing of your love (Chorus)
This is Forever
Cloud by day fire by night
In the darkness there was light
There was water but not the ocean somehow your plan was in motion
There was healing and there was love
Some anointing from above
But seasons ( feeling) changed just like the weather but that was then this is Forever
Twilight Zone
I had a dream the other night when everything was still
I dreamed I saw Patsy Cline coming up the hill
Lawrence Welks bubble machine not that far behind
Brett and Bart Maverick arrived in the knick of time
Dobie Gillis and Mainard Crebbs Fred and Ethel and Desi Arnez
I love Lucy but she made a mess We had to call Eliot Ness
Lassi tried to tell us how to get home
Rod Serling said your in the twilight zone
The Lone Ranger and Tonto did the best that they could
Pa and Hoss Cartwright were out there chopping wood
Larry Curly and Moe threw a pie in my face
And even Perry Mason couldn't solve this case
Andy and Barny Fife hid me in Mayberry Opie Dobie and I ate dinner with Aunt Bee
Lassy tried to tell us how to tell us how to get home Rod Serlingsaid your in the twilight zone
Then I woke up from my dream in a cold sweat, I knew I had to write it down so I would soon forget
All those people I had the privilege to have met
If Ive forgotten any that I do regret
You ask me why I wrote this song I thing I know why cause when I watch my TV I hang my head and cry
Remember Me
I dreamed I saw Larry Norman standing on a rock A righteous rocker and a holy
roller ain't never gonna stop remember me
‘And there was John and George playing augmented chords Throw in a diminished and when you're finished there’s harmonies to adore
Remember me remember me when you write your songs remember
me when your day is long remember me when the morning comes remember me at
setting sun
There was Johnny Cash trying to walk the line the man in black
singing to the prisoners He says he's doing fine saying remember me (chorus)
CS Lewis and John Paul too Mother Theresa and Charles Schultz Bob Marley and MartinLuther King Rich Mullins on Eagles wings Remember me
Then he took the bread and said this is my body then he took the wine and said this is my blood remember me a
Remember me when you write your songs remember me when your day is long remember me when the morning comes remember me at the setting sun
Swords into Plowshares
To you it is black and white They are wrong and you are right
Meanwhile in this darkest night The children cry
To you it’s a subtle thing Break their hearts and make it sting
Then you wonder why you phone don't ring The children cry
Oh light of the world see the nations and the flags unfurled
Oh light of the world have mercy on your boys and girls
Oh light of the world see the nations and the flags unfurled
Oh light of the world have mercy on us have mercy on us
Lets seek the light lets really try to teach the children how to fly
And if we don’t they’ll wonder why the children cry
Oh light of the world see the nations and the flags unfurled
Oh light of the world have mercy on your boys and girls
Oh light of the world see the nations and the flags unfurled
Oh light of the world have mercy on us have mercy on us
Put your swords into plowshares Put your swords into plowshares
Put your swords into plowshares Lion lie down with the lamb
Beautiful Spring-
David Zeisberger A Moravian Missionary came to the Tuscarawas river valley in Ohio in 1771 He was invited by Delaware chief Netawetwes to settle in on land near a spring of sparkling water called Schoenbrum which is German for beautiful spring.
Beautiful spring near sparkling waters praises they’d sing to their Lord and their King our first town Schoenbrun is the land of the beautiful spring
The mission became the first town in Ohio. Netawatwes took the Christian name of Abraham and led his people in a pledge of non-violence towards Indians and the white.
During the time of the revolutionary war, this was very difficult to do ,because the Indians, the British, and the Americans all wanted them to join in their side of the war
Beautiful spring near sparkling waters praises they’d sing to their Lord and their King our first town Schoenbrun is the land of the beautiful spring
Faced with increasing opposition, Abraham and his tribe fled Schoenbrum, and arrived in a nearby town called Gnadenhutten, which is German for mercy huts.
There they met Col. David Williamson who said he would protect them, If they would put down their weapons as proof of their non violence.
After they gave up their weapons, he told them they would die in the morning, but gave them permission to pray that night.
I am sure those 90 martyrs prayed that night and I’m sure they longed for the innocence of the beautiful spring.
Beautiful spring near sparkling waters praises they’d sing to their Lord and their King our first town Schoenbrun is the land of the beautiful spring

Get Back To The Garden
In the beginning was darkness and void The world as we knew it was unemployed
God spoke to the darkness and created the light Then came the morning and then
came the night Then God created all these living things Fish that swim and birds that sing then Adam gave Eve a diamond ring
We got to get back to the garden
What is right and what is wrong Seems like some kind of retro song
The tree of life or the tree of death Your final answer now take a breath
The tree of life or the tree of death This was not some kind of Vegas bet
The die was cast and then regret Then came shame and all that mess And then the king said let's forget We got to get back to the garden
God said I'll give you a nature like mineForget the past and will be fine
We'll start again with the tree of life Then Adam took Eve for his wife. We’ve got to get
back to the garden
