Just Like Me
The day after yesterday came and I opened my eyes to the fact that 1,000 tomorrows couldn’t change this day.
If I paid attention to the things that seem important to me – I can’t imagine any time wasted.
It’s all we’ve got right here in the moment…
They key is to understand what we’ve got and who we are, and what are the reasons that we’ve come this far.
Here I am alive in the moment. I’m wonderin’ what it’s like to be free. When I look at my life – just between you and me. From what I can tell all I’ve really got is me.
Trees will fall. The face of a mountain changes. Raindrops bring life to the world around us.
You speak of a different tongue.
You pray to another god.
You dress of a different flavor
When it’s all said and done you’re just like me.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. What do you want your tomorrow to bring?
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. What do you want your tomorrow to bring?
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. What do you want your tomorrow to bring?
Trees will fall. The face of a mountain changes. Raindrops bring life to the world around us.
You speak of a different tongue.
You pray to another god.
You dress of a different flavor
When it’s all said and done you’re just like me.
The Day After Yesterday
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
What if it doesn’t bring anything?
I may have to find another way to think.
I woke up yesterday thinkin’ the same damn thing…
If you knew there was no tomorrow, what would you be doing today?
If I brought back yesterday is there room for today?
If I focus on tomorrow will it matter anyway?
It’s easy to get lost along the way.
Maybe I should focus on the day after yesterday…
Seems that all I’ve really got is today and all of life’s lessons that got me this far.
If I count up all my yesterdays and throw them all away…I’m grateful to be here….
If you knew there was no tomorrow, what would you be doing today?
If I brought back yesterday is there room for today?
If I focus on tomorrow will it matter anyway?
It’s easy to get lost along the way.
Maybe I should focus on the day after yesterday…
Time to move on
You’ve been around together for so long.
You still don’t appreciate your life.
You walk around wishing you had what everyone else has.
You’re troubled by your crazy mind.
Everything seems perfect on the outside
But everything’s shattered on the inside
Your journey had to break down… break down.
You’re workin’ hard together just to fall apart…
Now it’s time to move on.
It’s hard to beat yourself down when you’ve been beat 1,000 times.
It’s hard to tell the truth when you’ve lied so many times…
It’s time to move on.
Nobody hears your cries anymore.
Slidin’ down to the bottom thru that same old door.
Thoughts of going away.. But there’s a little something making you stay…
Nobody hears your cries anymore.
Everything seems perfect on the outside
But everything’s shattered on the inside
Your journey had to break down… break down.
You’re workin’ hard together just to fall apart…
Now it’s time to move on.
It’s hard to beat yourself down when you’ve been beat 1,000 times.
It’s hard to tell the truth when you’ve lied so many times…
It’s time to move on…
It’s time to move on…
Whispers
There was a time when we all figured out what was going on in our lives no doubt…
There was a time we thought we might have wanted out – what with everything… once you felt some pain.
There comes a time that we all wanna doubt that we’re saved if we change our ways.
There’s been times when we holler and shout… yet we carry on the same…
Hear it callin? Hear it callin?
Whispers in the wind remind us where we’ve been.
Seeds were planted long ago that hold you up today.
Time will tell the tale – the verses of our fate.
Keep your mind open for the whispers of the wind.
A bit of doubt came from a sinner’s mouth and you let it wear a whole in your game.
There was a time when the sounds that came kept hope and pray only a moment away.
There may be times when we scream and shout. Sometimes that’s the only way.
There’ll come a time when we realize we’re all the same.
Do you hear it callin? Do you hear it callin?
Whispers in the wind remind us where we’ve been.
Seeds were planted long ago that hold you up today.
Time will tell the tale – the verses of our fate.
Keep your mind open for the whispers of the wind.
27th Regiment
Narration: (Red beach one was the name of the mission to hit the sands of Iwo Jima. 17 and 18 year old lives were about to change forever. This story starts in 1943 for the young men of the 27th regiment)
A generation in between. Who knows what our fathers have seen.
All we know from the stories they’ve cried is to carry on that same kind of pride.
A son of a soldier knows that history’s never been told by the media as it was from the source.
I’d like to understand what they’ve done for this land
My daddy was a marine raider – fought on Iwo Jima and he always told me “they can never beat you if you never give up.”
So I’ll take his advise and give it to you. What you do with it – that’s up to you.
I hope there’s not another war.
I’d like to understand what they’ve done for this land, and how it affects a younger man.
I’d like to understand what they’ve done to this man – and how much can he stand.
Years go by there’s still tears in their eyes. Was justice ever done?
When I asked him why I could see the pain in my father’s eyes.
How can they possibly explain what they’ve been thru.
All they’d ever want us to do is carry on with pride. Semper Fi
I’d like to understand what they’ve done for this land, and how it affects a younger man.
I’d like to understand what they’ve done to this man – and how much can he stand.
Everything’s Alright
Once in awhile when I’m doin’ alright and things are going my way.
Jump in my car and go for a ride. Sometimes I drive all night.
I’ve got no worries I’ve got time on my side, and I’m feelin’ fine.
There’s no jury, I’ve committed no crime. I’ve got something to say.
I will be there for you – like you were there for me, when the chips were down and you were in no hurries. You turned it around and made everything alright. Now everything’s’ alright.
(Thanks to you the lights are all shining bright)
Everything’s fine
(People like you are what matters most in my life)
It’s been a while, ain’t been feeling quite right, so sometimes I pray.
I don’t know what’s going on “up there” but sometimes….it makes me feel ok.
Every day above ground’s a good day they tell me. I think that’s just fine. Someone like you makes this world a better place to spend my time.
I will be there for you – like you were there for me, when the chips were down and you were in no hurries. You turned it around and made everything alright. Now everything’s’ alright.
(Thanks to you the lights are all shining bright)
Everything’s fine
(People like you are what matters most in my life)
Looking back I’ve got no regrets about walking the fine line, and I’d do it all again if I knew in the end that things would turn out the same way.
The Guest
Faceless feelings down the road.
A taste of living on the bottom line.
You find yourself out here alone.
You don’t even know why.
All your desires, all your dreams….They will come true some time.
Fates an assembly line or no?
Hard to believe the way it’s been bastardized.
You hear it calling but you still don’t know.
A second guess would only be wasted time.
Oh you’re tired, there’s no rest now…and it haunts you in your sleep.
Fear and pain is something only you could know.
A voice you hear and you want to believe it but you won’t.
No you won’t listen. No you won’t believe it
Talk to me or maybe talk to another. I know you hear that little voice inside.
Did you listen to it lately? Or put it aside?
Why do we question when we know it’s right?
Fear and pain is something only you could know.
A voice you hear and you want to believe it but you won’t.
Don’t trade your success for your soul.
Too late to negotiate if there’s eternal life.
Open your mind and who knows how far will you go?
All your dreams, all your desires… they will come true sometime…
Fear and pain is something only you could know.
A voice you hear and you want to believe it but you won’t.
No…you won’t listen
Defining moments
I look around and wonder how I got here.
I see your brain spread out on the car seat.
I don’t even know you and I can’t imagine what your life was like.
But the end of it is right in front of me and helps me see the value of mine.
Life can change so fast.
Defining moments keep coming back.
Life can change so fast.
Do you see the reminders when they cross your path?
The image makes me wonder why.
The powers that be have come to take his life.
I found things that day that forever changed my mind.
I hope the heavens know this man’s death helped save another man’s life.
Life can change so fast.
Defining moments keep coming back.
Life can change so fast.
Do you see the reminders when they cross your path?
Open my eyes, take a deep breath and see what’s inside.
Life can change so fast.
Defining moments keep coming back.
Life can change so fast.
Do you see the reminders when they cross your path?
Subtle moon
I feel a warm air tonight.
I look up and the stars are all just right.
Déjà vu I know I’ve been here before.
I know I’m gonna be here again.
Subtle moon, won’t you shine for me tonight?
You, you make everything alright..
Subtle moon won’t you shine for me tonight?
This is a calm place to be.
Me and my thoughts and no one can touch me.
I feel sensation in the wind tonight.
I cannot foresee any reason to be frightened.
Subtle moon, won’t you shine for me tonight?
You, you make everything alright…
Subtle moon won’t you shine for me tonight?
No not with this heavenly light…Things just seem too right.
Tomorrow this will all be just a memory of that wonderful light that’s shining up above…
Subtle moon, won’t you shine for me tonight?
You, you make everything alright…
Subtle moon won’t you shine for me tonight?
Most of your time
Hard lives and long lives. You wouldn’t believe how I’ve spent some of my time.
The things we do to our own bodies is a crime.
The things we didn’t know…, they were the only things that made it right.
Can you believe that you’re still here? (after all these years)
What do you see when you look in the mirror?
Do you see your face from long ago? Do you see another face that now knows more?
Did you make the most of your time?
Will you talk about the way things might have been? Will you have regret or say “what if” in the end?
Did you make the most of your time?
Time flies and the scars remind. Who would’ve known the fate or the impact we could have on our lives.
A stranger’s face brings blessings from time to time.
I look forward to the days when I bring someone else mine.
Can you believe that you’re still here? (after all these years)
What do you see when you look in the mirror?
Do you see your face from long ago? Do you see another face that now knows more?
Did you make the most of your time? (most of your time)
Will you talk about the way things might have been? Will you have regret or say “what if” in the end?
Did you make the most of your time?
Our loved ones and friends come into our lives.
We don’t know for how long
So make the right now right.
Do you see your face from long ago? Do you see another face that now knows more?
Did you make the most of your time? (most of your time)
Will you talk about the way things might have been? Will you have regret or say “what if” in the end?
Did you make the most of your time?
The most of your time, did you make… the most of your time?
Did you see another face?
Talk to my dog
Swimming the seas of a waterless land.
Climbing the trees of a fallen mind.
Look the the left to figure out what’s right, and I’m talking to another
when there’s no one in sight.
I can see right now with all the questions in my mind – you’ll only confuse what I have to decide..
I feel better when he listens, even though it doesn’t mean much.
I talk to my dog when I need to vent and he listens… no matter what.
Listen to me is what the ignorant said.
Listen and see sounds like a better plan.
I don’t know if there’s a wrong or a right but I won’t let some other mutha make up my mind.
It took a long time to find what was and wasn’t for me, but I’m a better man when someone will listen to me.
I feel better when he listens, even though it doesn’t mean much.
I talk to my dog when I need to vent and he listens… no matter what.
Oh oh, Ah ah ha
I feel better when he listens, even though it doesn’t mean much.
I talk to my dog when I need to vent and he listens… no matter what.
Ohh oh, Ah ah ha, hey
I’d rather talk to my dog…
Afraid of the dark
Beware my brother, cause the shadow knows.
What you’ve done won’t go unseen.
There’s an esoteric world around you.
What you think isn’t what will be.
Take a minute to see what the mirror can tell you.
No., not for vanity’s sake.
You’ll be held responsible at the end,
There’s no automatic pilot to your fate.
Face your fears
Dry your tears
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Throw your caution in the wind like it’s the last time.
Expose yourself to pain once again.
Consider your consequence before it’s too late.
There’s no automatic pilot to your fate.
All of this time, your frame of mind isn’t what it should be.
Once in a while, review yourself – will you like what you see.
Face your fears
Dry your tears
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Who turned out the lights? What’s that noise? What’s that in the corner of my sight?
I hear something. I see something.
I take a deep breath. Look under my bed. I cover my eyes. It’s comin after me, it’s coming after me, it’s comin after me…
Face your fears
Dry your tears
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Are you afraid of the dark?
