One More Time  (The Linwood Song)

Drivin down this old back road alone the full moon as my guide
How many times have I made this trip the same feeling deep inside
If I could turn this car around if I could turn back time 
To the days that I loved to the friends I had when everything was fine

Once again I reach my bed and I lay down shut my weary eyes
How many times have I tossed and turned a load of trouble on my mind
This broken record is my prayer I've prayed a thousand times
Oh I've called your name sensed you came touched my spirit in the night

Chorus:
One more time, I run to you and everything is well
Your love wrapped tight around my my heart my secrets I can tell
One more time all the pain is washed away my heart is calm
My fear is gone you've done it to me one more time

How many Mondays will it rain How many chances pushed away
One thing I know is that you care and you are there No matter how many times I call

Lookin the mirror begins another day in this ole life
How many times I've seen this face lookin back at me and sigh
The same routine another week won't  get to me this time
Cause I think of you and all you do I'm gonna live my life

Chorus

Price You Pay

Summertime rolls around open up the pool
Do you see the leaves or do you feel the cool
Tell me what do you see is it black is it blue
That's the price you pay to swim a way the summer days be cool

Look around the house gotta fix the roof
Every time you turn around something else is loose
It's bringing you to your knees sure could use some relief
That's the price you pay to sit inside the house all day be safe

Chorus:
There's  a price we pay for everything we do each day if you smoke you wheeze smell the cat you sneeze its true
You have to ask yourself is it really worth the price for every habit you got every vice

Your looking at the cross thinking how he died can you feel the nails the blood in his eyes
Tell me what do you see you know he hung there for you that's the price he paid to see you never fade away not you

It's got you down on your knees you know he hung there for you
That's the price he paid to take you to a better place me to

Chasing My Dream

Growin up I was always told you play safe don't make waves get a job you play it straight
Don't bite off more than you can chew don't forget the starving ones you stay in school

Chorus:
But I'm gonna fly I'm gonna run I'm gonna try you only get one chance in this life
It's here and its gone chasing my dream singing my song I'm gonna fly

Now what kind of world would this be if everyone palyed it cool afraid to see
What they could do if they only tried God gave a gif to all locked deep inside

Bring home your pay put ten cents away afraid of the fall why even try 
Playing it safe life will pass you by played out as if to say 
Wanna see what's inside of me taste all that life can bring
No one on earth can stop me now there's a plan God will show me how 

Power To Choose ( by Ralph Boegli, Carolyn Beaton, Al Kehn )

There's a force all around us can't explain can't comprehend
When it rises up inside of us no power to defend
Call it what you want to personify it too
Give it names faces it lives inside of you

Chorus:
Living right here on our own we've got the power to choose
How will we live our life lend  a hand or leave a bruise

Life is placed in our hands we try to see it through
Heaven help us help ourselves God show us how to choose
It's in our hands we realize we must choose the loving side
When good and evil come together only then will we survive

A mighty hand did not come down to stop the places that day 
Things were left to carry on played out as if to say 
This will be our destiny if we continue on this path
We'll live on in infamy victims of our own wrath 
We must come together now we're creating our own hell 
Who will come and save us now who will save us from ourselves

Garden Of My Soul

The sun shines brightly thru, and cuts the mist, the dew, in the garden of my soul
Spirits dancing say, its time to run away, to the garden of my soul
And as I linger there, sweet honeysuckle in the air, in the garden of my soul
Sparkling pools of blue, a rose bush or two, in the garden of my soul

With windows made of lead, there sits a little shed, in the garden of my soul
My secret sins are sealed, behind its walls of steel, in the garden of my soul
O'er by the waterfall, I'm gazing at it all, in the garden of my soul
He slowly calls my name, its sounds so sweet, so plain, in the garden of my soul

Suddenly a flash of bright, here comes the morning light, in the garden of my soul
Don't shut the gate to tight, cause I'll be back tonight, in the garden of my soul
Someday that's all there'll be, my new reality, living in the garden of my soul

There's A Rainbow 

You say the clouds won't go away not much change living day to day 
You say the pain is here to stay why does life turn out this way
Might as well stay in bed all the sadness that is in your head
You say the words have all been said the thrill of life is dead I wish that you could see that

Chorus:
Oh there's a rainbow round your head there's an angel by your side don't you know
Oh there is love all around and love won't let you down oh there's a rainbow

I know I can't take your pain away but I'll be here day to day
I know the clouds will break and clear some day life turns out that way some day you will see that

Chorus

When the dark clouds clear colors appear
When the tears have all been cried you will open up your eyes and see that

Chorus

  More To Life  ( by Jamie Mayer )

Why do bad things happen to good people 
Find the one you love that's the one your keeping
Bridges stand tall yet some fall down
Hard to reach your dreams with both feet on the ground

Chorus:
There's more to life, Worry won't make it right
Reach high fight the fight, Because there's more to life

One to big the other to little
Do what you can when your in the middle
You could die young or go much later
Memories are left of what you have created

Chorus

Why do things get so complicated, All to many times ending in frustration
Some things you just can't explain, Find your happy place take away the pain

Chorus

Sunshine In The Morning  

Chorus:
She's like a bowl of Corn Flakes in the morning makes you feel good all day long
She's like the sparking dew on roses I love her sweet voice in her song
She's like he sunshine in the morning makes you feel all warm inside
Her smile lights up my darkest hour she makes the blues go run and hide

She lives her life so positively she can laugh in the pouring rain
There's a bright side to everything she sees somehow she melts away the pain
She's so thankful for everything she has and god has blessed her with so much
She's quick to share it all with everyone around grateful hearts have known her touch

Chorus

Is there anyone so sweet is there anyone so kind
I never felt an angel stand so close to me was she meant to be a sign
She can make the day seem to short somehow she can make the time fly 
To be with her is to never want to leave you always want her in your life

Chorus

Song Of Hope

What would you do if you had one day to live how would you feel if that's all there is who would you call
What if you knew it was your last day on earth what would you give what is it worth would you buy one more
Looking back now are there things you would change given the chance to start over again
Are there regrets you would like to erase words left unspoken hearts that were broken
Would you keep silent or speak from the heart let old wounds fester life's broken apart
Have all the I love you's been spoken enough what would you do if you knew times up

What would you do if that's all there is thank those around you answer me this if it's over the curtain comes down
What if you do if today was the day facing your maker what would you say when he asks you what have you done
Why don't we act like today is the day bury the past let peace lead the way
Letting our prid go reach out a hand practice forgiveness doesn't that make sense
Living each day with such strong urgency leading the way for the children to see
Crunching the numbers getting your take is nothing compared to the love that you make

Always In My Heart ( by Jamie Mayer, Carolyn Beaton )

Little girl growing up so fast
Doing things you never could in summers past
Independent since you were small
Knowing where you wanted to go since you could crawl

Chorus:
Grow up grow old, we'll never grow apart
Grow up grow old, your always in my heart

Cute as can be dressed pretty in pink
Saying I'm sorry with just a smile and a wink
Running off and on your way again
Flower child hair and carefree as the wind

Chorus

You'll always be my little girl, you could travel halfway round the world
My love would still find you there, wonder what your doing
You'll always be my special one, shining brightly like the sun
Living here or living there, wonder what your doing and always care

Chorus

One Day To Live

What would you do if you had one day to live
How would you feel if that's all there is for your life Who would you call
What if you knew it's your last day on earth
What would you give what is worth for another Would you buy one more

Looking back now are there things you would change
Given the chance to star over again
Are there regrets you'd like to erase
Words left unspoken hearts that were broken
Would you keep silent or speak from the heart
Let old wounds fester lives broken apart
Have all the I love you's been spoken enough
What would you do if you knew time's up

What would you do if today was the day
Facing your maker what would you say
If it's over and the curtain comes down
What would you do if today was the day
Facing your maker what would you say
When he asks you what have you done

Why don't we act like today is the day Bury the past and let peace lead the way
Letting our pride go and reach out a hand Practice forgiveness doesn't that make sense
Living each day with such strong urgency Leading the way for the children to see
Crunching the numbers getting your take Is nothing compared to the love that you make

Lil Bit Insane

Sorry you get a damn machine every time you call
Lately I'm not myself you see I'm feeling three feet tall
Sorry I don't laugh at your jokes there's no bright side these days
I know your tryin' your best to cheer me please listen when I say

Chorus:
I'm a lil' bit insane I'm a lil' bit tired I'm a lil' bit gone just a lil' bit wired 
I need a lil' bit of space I need a lil' bit of time I need a lil' less pain I wanna be myself again

Sorry I don't feel like a movie music sounds too loud
Don't feel much like dancin I think I'll just sit this one out
My plate is big enough not thinkin straight sometimes
I'm standing on a narrow ledge oh I wish that I could fly

You'll never know how much your patience means to me
Your my closest dearest friend and you'll always be
Right now your call can't be completed as diealed
Hang on my friend please try again I'll be home in just a while

Chorus

Last Train  ( by Jamie Mayer, Al Kehn )

Don't wait for the last train it may never come
Spend your whole life thinking am I right or wrong
Engine keeps on hummin' it'll leave you by the stand
Life is worth the living do it while you can
Don't wait for the last train it may be too late

Don't wait for someone else to pick up all the slack
Get on board the life train it's a one way track
Don't wait till it's too late to live out all your dreams
Life goes by so fast much quicker than it seems
Don't wait for the last train it may be too late

Don't wait for tomorrow cause you never know
Living for today is the better way to go
Stand up and discover all that you can be
You have got the spirit to be free
You have got the spirit the spirit to be great

Don't wait for the last train
Don't wait for the last train
Don't wait for the last train
It might be too late

Price You Pay ( alternate )

Summertime rolls around open up the pool
Do you see the leaves or do you feel the cool
Tell me what do you see is it black is it blue
That's the price you pay to swim a way the summer days be cool

Look around the house gotta fixthe roof
Every time you turn around something else is loose
It's bringing you to your knees sure could use some relief
That's the price you pay to sit inside the house all day be safe

Chorus:
There's  a price we pay for everything we do each day if you smoke you wheeze smell the cat you sneeze its true
You have to ask yourself is it really worth the price for every habit you got every vice

Rockin roll all nite party everyday wouldn't it be nice if life could be that way
Tell me what do you see go to work go to school 
Gotta work each day to pay the bills you have to pay me to tell me what do ya see whatcha gonna do
That's the price ya pay to see the sun come up each day me to
