Working On My Soul

I can't call you brother
You can't call me friend
We'd agree to differ
But we disagree instead
You say I can't jump
I cam't dance
Man I'll never break the mold
You say working on my soul
Something I'll never know
Then I met my brother
And he became my friend
Different color different mother
Man we broke those trends
He said you should jumo
You should dance
Boy you need to break the mold
He said keep working on my soul
Till you reach the goal
So I call all men brother
They can call me friend
Hands were meant to hold one another
It's what our father meant
He said we can fly
If we try
The only way to reach the goal
He said keep working on our soul
Then we'll be whole
We'll be whole
We'll be whole
We'll be whole

Walk Away
03:47

|
Sitting here smoking with
Thinking bout how I did
Good to be
Rid of this
At least that's what I say
The problem with lesser sins
They never give the wanted fix
That you wish
And hope they did
That's why it's the easy way
CHORUS
When in doubt
Make a turn about
You can say it loud
About a million ways
But when you're done
And the race is run
Did you help someone
Or did you just walk away
Sitting here lying bout
Talking loud
When I found
What I need and came around
Not bad for a hot day
CHORUS X2
When in doubt
Make a turn about
You can say it loud
About a million ways
But when you're done
And the race is run
Did you help someone
Or did you just walk away

Best I Can Be
03:33
|
|||
|
She never points out
What I don’t see
Not a flinch
When she moves me
And it’s no ones guess
When she hints what I can be
And if she gave less
It’d be more than I need
CHORUS
As far as I can see
She looks up to me
Though I only take her lead
Amazing as it seems
She does it easily
And of the worst that I’ve seen
She’s the best that I can be
And through all I waste
She saves time
Takes my sour grapes
And she makes wine
Each day completes the rest
And yet it’s hard to believe
That I can’t wait to see what’s next
She’s the world to me
As far as I can see
She looks up to me
Though I only take her lead
Amazing as it seems
She does it easily
And of the worst that I’ve seen
She’s the best that I can be
She’s the best
She’s the best
She’s the best I can be
As far as I can see
She looks up to me
Though I only take her lead
Amazing as it seems
She does it easily
And of the worst that I’ve seen
She’s the best that I can be

Nothing to Do
04:47
|
|||
|
Well we’ve got clothes on the floor
Like we don’t take the time anymore
To do what feels right
So let’s just spend the night
Talking about…
CHORUS:
Things we’d like to see
And things we’d like to do
Until the late afternoon
Just looking for nothing to do
Well we’ve got wine getting cold
Like we’ve got some stories left to be told
A lot of candles a little light
Let’s do it alright
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Why don’t you turn up the song
Get a little more comfortable
Put on something nice
Why don’t you pour me a glass
And get one too
I like to share with you
I hope you do too
Why don’t you move a little closer baby
We’ll spend the evening
Talking and drinking and thinking and singing
And letting each other know
How we love nothing to do
Well our love’s growing cold
Looks like we grew past bold
We need to turn off our minds
Talk about it all night
REPEAT CHORUS

Workday
03:41
|
|||
|
Heat stroke if the summer’s kind
Frost bite if the winter’s mild
And that’s just about right
To pay the bills on time
The overtime
Leaves you underpaid
And benefits
Mean something’s taken away
CHORUS
But who you are
Is not the price of how you’re paid
It’s the question
Which should occupy your days
Keep working on that day
It’s a white collar brain fry
And everyone’s invited
Business suite and they’re tied
To fit into the corporate set
CHORUS X2
BRIDGE
A few need a lot of it
A lot more need a little bit
Remember that they give to get
Then they get the gist of it
Some got a family tree
Others just planted seeds
Some got a world to see
We all got our basic needs
A little love a little friend
Someone to ask us how we’ve been
Warm spot to lay your head
Turn around repeat again
CHORUS
Keep working on that day (X 6)

Lullaby
03:27
|
|||
|
To my mind
I’ve walked a certain kind of line
And it’s fine
That no one’s tried
To see what I have deep inside
So if you
Want to see what you can do
Then try
Just keep in mind
You’ll have to hear my lullaby
CHORUS:
A lullaby about every night you stay
A lullaby about the moves you make
So you understand, I guess I’ll make it plain
The lullaby I sing is your name
It may seem
Like a strange request
But I haven’t met another yet
Who knew how much so little meant
A lullaby can dry the tears you cry
A lullaby can keep love in your eyes
I’ll sing until that happy sleepy sigh
And the lullaby ends with goodnight
So if we
Includes me and you want to see
How a lullaby can change your life
I’ll always do my best to write
A lullaby about how much I care
A lullaby about how I want you there
I’ll sing until the years go god knows where
The lullaby about the life we share

Nice to Meet Me
03:20
|

All the things I used to say
Went away
All the things I used to know
Had to go
BRIDGE:
Gotta find a little meaning
Do a little spring cleaning
Took awhile to see
Nice to meet me
All the places I have been
I want to see them again
All the treasure I have found
I want to spread it around
REPEAT BRIDGE
CHORUS:
When you gonna go
When you gonna know
When you gonna show
Who you gonna see
Who you gonna be
Who you gonna need
Why you gotta try
Why you gotta die
Why you gotta fight
What’s inside
All the people I have known
Helped me grow
All the good times I have had
Out weigh the bad
REPEAT BRIDGE
All the thanks I should have gave
I’ll give one day
All the times I’ve had love
Can’t thank you enough
REPEAT BRIDGE—CHORUS

Pretty flower sits
Just where I left it
Little lady ain’t home yet
But she’ll be here quick
She’s got a plan for me
Alright
Started playing tunes
Just to find the groove
We’ve got a lot more to do
And we’re leaving soon
She says there’s more to see
Alright
CHORUS
She gives me all I need
We only need to follow her lead
And if she thinks that we
Need a little time
Alright
Gotta rock her blues
Can’t let her lose her cool
You can take the girl from school
She’ll end up teaching you
She’s gonna start to be
Alright
REPEAT CHORUS
Pretty lady sits
Just where she feels it
We ain’t going home yet
No use rushing it
We’ve got plans to keep
Alright

Stay With You
04:48
|
|||
|
I feel it
Do you feel it too
This might get
Too much too soon
If you mind
Well I’ll leave on the lights
I’ve got nothing to prove
If it’s alright
You want to spend the night
I’ll stay with you
I’d never let
This lose its truth
And it’s a safe bet
I’ll never see this through
And in time
If you have to remind
Me to keep it new
You’ll find
That it’s not out of sight
If I stay with you
BRIDGE
Though there’s
Only what I do
If you’d hold me
I’ve got nothing to lose
And in time
I’ll do it alright
I’ll stay with you
I believe it
Love can come true
And it’ll never end
If you believe it too
A little wine
We’ll turn out the light
You always knew
If it’s alright
You want to spend the night
I’ll stay with you
If it’s alright
You want to spend your night
I’ll stay with you

You’re a heartsave
When I feel this way
You know just what to say
And just how to convey
CHORUS:
You
Know what to do
When I’m through
Only you knew
Only
Only You
Rescued my faith
When I leapt the wrong way
Not a damn thing to say
But talking anyway
CHORUS
Don’t want to go on alone
Don’t want to go on alone
I want you
Only you
You’re a heartsave
When I feel this way
You know just what to say
And just how to convey
CHORUS
Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you

I'll Make Time
03:51
|

|
Don’t have to thank me
When I give you what you need
It comes easily
You’re the best I can be
As long as you’re mine
I’ll make time
Don’t have to go away
Cause you can always stay
For as many days
As you can stand that way
And if you return in kind
I’ll make time
There’s never enough- time
There’s never enough- but I’ll make time
You don’t have to close your eyes
When you need a little light
Cause I feel just fine
And I can stay all night
You wanna make it right
I’ll make time
You don’t have to doubt you
When you need a different view
We’ll find another truth
And we can pull you through
You wanna hold the line
I’ll make time
You don’t have to say so
There’s a million different roads
They’ll always flow
When you pour a little hope
You wanna make your mind
I’ll make time

Grey

Another day with gray skies
Another chance to open your eyes
Another way to make you see
That all you need is me
CHORUS
With a little luck
And a little love
We can make the gray go away
With a little touch
And a little hug
We can make it here to stay
But we’ve got to start today
Another place not advertised
By the know it all relationship wise
And it’s a place I don’t want to be
Why can’t we just concede
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Where’re you going girl
When you are my world
Don’t you ask me why
Don’t you want to try
Don’t you wanna
Don’t you wanna try
REPEAT CHORUS X 2

Once you
Get through
Learning what you’re here to do
Then you
Can move
Along to something new
A few
Find truth
Find out they can be of use
To those on green and blue
Green and blue
Some wait
For fate
Find out that’s it’s much too late
To break
The gate
The locks have been replace
They’ll hate
And berate
The sorry state
They left green and blue’s face
Green and blue
I aint got the time
I can’t make up my mind
It’s a bullshit line every time
I say it anyway
What is there to say
Would it happen anyway
There’ll be another day
At least that’s what they say
So if we
Can just see
A circle’s quality
The need
For misery
Greatly recedes
Our seed
Our tree
Can shade as well as feed
All those on blue and green
I aint got the time
I can’t make up my mind
It’s a bullshit line every time
I say it anyway
What is there to say
Would it happen anyway
There will be another day
At least that’s what they say
So if we
Can just see
A circle’s quality
The need
For misery
Greatly recedes
Our seed
Our tree
Can shade as well as feed
All those on blue and green

What can I say
I love a Snow Day
White to gray
As the Sun it melts Away
And I know just how I’d play
When I can get my way
I’d be with you today
Make it every day
Get together and you know we’ll make it
Get together and you know we’ll make it
Get together and you know we’ll make it
Snow day
What did you say
You can’t come out and play
Would it be the same
If I drove a different train
And I know just how you’d play
When there was something
You’d want to change
Don’t let it go that way
Don’t let it fade
Get together and you know we’ll make it
Get together and you know we’ll make it
Get together and you know we’ll make it
Snow day
What can I say
I love a Snow Day
White to gray
As the Sun it melts Away
And I know just how I’d play
When I can get my way
I’d be with you today
Make it every day
Each and every day
