Love Ain't
04:35
|

|
Love ain’t meant to be no ball and chain,
Wantchya to be free, and I want the same so,
Dontchya hold me back, dontchya drag nobody down,
Imma walk away, until you come round.
Chorus:
Cuz love ain’t, love ain’t, no love ain’t, I said love,
Love ain’t about ownin no-one,
Love ain’t about changing em,
Love ain’t about rushin no-one,
Love ain’t about saving em
So let on go, control and jealousy,
Don’t hold each other so, so tight you can’t breathe.
Chorus:
Cuz love ain’t, love ain’t, no love ain’t, I said love,
(Spoken)
Wrapping our bodies and winding our lives,
Drunk on love’s touch, love’s look in our eyes,
Knees weak and hearts open, we walked side by side,
Our embrace, the place, where our fears would subside but,
How much was shown and how much was hidden,
How much was forced and how much forbidden,
What would it take, how many tears to be cried,
For us to wake up, walk on, and realize that
(Sung)
Love ain’t about ownin no-one,
Love ain’t about changing em
Love ain’t about rushin no-one,
Love ain’t about saving em

Moving On
04:19

Time, keeps movin on,
I try, to keep holdin on,
But I miss you babe,
Can’t believe you’re gone,
Yes I miss you babe,
I can’t believe.
How many times can one heart be broken,
And find the strength to move on?
After so many lines of soft words spoken,
How can this tired heart trust on?
But I, I feel you babe, right by my side,
Hands hungry hold you tight,
And I dream you babe, back in my arms,
In a long kiss goodnight.
But, Time, keeps movin on,
I try, to keep holdin on,
But I miss you babe,
Can’t believe you’re gone,
Yes I miss you babe,
I can’t believe.

Well we all known trouble,
And we all known strife,
Yeah we all known trouble,
Those who known this life.
Mmmmm we all known.
We all known grief,
And we all known pain,
We all known disease,
And we all known shame,
Mmmmm we all known.
And we all known love,
When it strikes from above,
Leaves you aching all the time,
How I wish that you were mine,
Lord we all known trouble.

Wandering

Lord, don’t you know I been walking for so long,
Can’t seem to find a place, where I belong,
Lord I been walking, mmmmm I been wandering,
Wandering.
And I been searching all my life,
And I found joy, and I found strife,
But I’m still searching, all alone,
Trying to find, somebody to call my own.
Honey, it ain’t right, to be so lonely in this life,
So Imma keep on wandering, til I find,
That there love and peace of mind,
Til then I’ll be wandering,
Wandering.
Honey, it ain’t right, to be so lonely in this life,
So Imma keep on wandering, til I find,
That there love and peace of mind,
Til then I’ll be wandering,
Wandering.
Mmmm trust, let go,
Mmmm trust, deep down I know,
I’m on the path, that I need to be,
Though it ain’t never, never been easy,
Gotta live free,
Just a wandering.

Springtime
03:16
|

|
Springtime, you get me low,
Springtime, you get me high,
That hard old place where habit meets intention,
Got me coming, got me going, lose my mind.
Walking down the street magnolias blooming,
And all them pretty people looking fine,
But down in my heart Winter’s brewing,
That’s the beauty, that’s the trouble, Springtime.
Dreams so big like rivers they are flowin,
And nights so long that you can’t get no sleep,
Out of that cocoon that you been showin,
Spread your wings, fly on high, and believe.
Time to let on go of old things holdin,
Grip on you so tight that you can’t breathe,
Clean on out that closet of them skeletons,
All them bones and lost loves to grieve.
Oh the path is hard, storm is strong,
Winds that shake to the bone,
So beat that drum, sing that song,
Hold your ground, change will come.
Oh the path is hard, storm is strong,
Winds that shake to the bone,
So beat that drum, sing that song,
Hold your ground, change will come.

It’s been a long time coming,
It’s been a long time coming,
It’s been a long, long time.
Cuz we done been downtrodden,
Yes we done been downtrodden,
But I know, that we’re gonna shine.
The lord knows well we’ve travelled,
The lord knows well we’ve travelled,
All through this world of woe.
And we done cried them teardrops,
Yes we done cried them teardrops,
And walked them roads, til we could walk no more.
But lord he gave us music,
These precious wings to fly with,
To sing our song, and free our souls.
So rise on up and feel it,
Yes rise on up and feel it,
Your time is come, don’t you wait no more.
You gotta rise up, you gotta rise up,
You gotta rise up, and sing your song.
You gotta rise up, you gotta rise, rise on up child,
You gotta rise on up, your time is come.

Time Heals All Wounds
05:25
|
|||
|
They say that time, well it heals all wounds,
But I, well I can’t forget you.
They say your touch, will fade away,
But I feel it now, just like I felt it yesterday,
Mmmmmm ain’t nothin’ changed.
What will it take, to heal these old wounds?
Mend these broken wings, and fly on without you?
Love that we made, how could it be true,
That your lovin arms are holdin someone new?
Mmmmmm got me so blue.
If I were a star, way up in that night sky,
All your hopes and dreams would shine on in my light,
If I could save, all the tears I cried,
Well you know I’d make a river, to run by your wild side,
Mmmmmmm your wild side.
But now I know it’s just not meant to be,
And all we shared, just a fadin’ memory,
And all that time alone, hard though it may be,
Well it helped us to move on, shine our light, and live free,
Mmmmmmm oh Imma live free.
Now I’m strong, like a mountain,
But I can bend like a big old tree,
Mmmm I can love with wide open arms,
And I can sing like a bird so free.
Yes, now I’m strong, like a mountain,
But I can bend, like a big old tree in the wind,
Mmmmm I can love with wide open arms,
And I can sing, yes I found my voice again.

You Make It Easy

The morning light streams across your face,
Open your eyes, and I’m lost in your grace.
You make it easy, to fall in love,
So easy, to fall in love
I feel your heat, when you stand next to me honey you know it’s true,
And I just wanna reach out and touch ya baby,
Mmm that smile, melts away all my blues.
You make it easy, to fall in love,
So easy, to fall in love
You don’t know, what you mean to me, what you done for me darlin,
Gave me hope, yes you helped me let go, and you kept me livin free.
Cuz it ain’t always easy, being in love,
You make it so easy to be in love.
Well the morning light, streams across your face,
Open your eyes, and I’m lost in your grace.

Love Like Water
05:43
|

|
Well, loving you, comes so naturally honey,
And holding you, what my arms wanna do,
So stay with me tonight, dontchya think about tomorrow,
Dontchya feed that pain, dontchya worry bout that sorrow,
Chorus:
Cuz life, life is change, love like water,
Slips through our fingers, can’t hold on,
Cuz life is change, love like water,
Home in our veins, carries us on.
This precious land, yes this is my home,
This earth I’ve toiled, all these dreams I’ve sown,
But mamma’s getting older, and we’re always poor,
Gotta move on out, can’t scrape by no more.
Cuz life, life is change, love like water,
Slips through our fingers, can’t hold on,
Cuz life is change, love like water,
Home in our veins, carries us on.
I held your hand as you left this life,
Let my voice ring out, saw your eyes alight,
I know I touched your soul, you were touching mine,
Bless that song I sang by your side.
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound,
That saved, a wretch like me,
Helped set you free
Cuz life, life is change, love like water,
Slips through our fingers, can’t hold on,
Cuz life is change, love like water,
Home in our veins, carries us on.

Body And Soul
06:02
|
|||
|
Mmmm relief, mmmmm relief,
Body and soul, body and soul,
Feel that ease, so sweet,
Like you never known, like you never known.
Lay down all your troubles,
Just let them go, just let them go.
We known darkness, sorrow so deep,
Too deep to show, too deep to show,
And we know long hard nights, no sleep,
Felt so alone, felt so alone.
But in that darkness we found a precious seed,
And now it's time to reap,
Reap what we have sown, reap what we have sown.
Freedom is our song,
And when it lives inside us bright and strong.
We can help each other to carry on,
Oh freedom.
