"What About Them?"
(chorus)Puff the magic Jesus Floats around the universe The United States is His favorite place on the whole entire earth So sing your songs and wave your flag And thank the Lord for all you have But what about them? Did you forget about them? We came we conquered never speak of this again life Must go on let’s not think of them Things are comfortable now the pioneers have settled in A perfect blend of progress and pale skin For our sake and those to come We’ll rewrite the text so you can forget where you came from Tell it in a way that will build your self esteem Repackage the product and sell the American dream (chorus) History is best forgotten and even better rewritten And since there’s no forgetting let’s remember it different Commit to it so strongly till you believe it The truth is there but you aren’t able to receive it You need to know you’re safe here Hide your face here cuz you found your faith here But four walls with no windows doesn’t mean you’re it Four walls with no windows doesn’t mean they don’t exist (chorus) What a prosperous, wondrous place Remember to say grace before we scrape our plates And ignore the crying outside the door sure You’ll pray for their burdens but you don’t want to make it yours Thin lines divide but there’s a world of difference So crawl back into your happy existence and feel the bliss of ignorance keep you warm Blessed are those who mourn but it’s so foreign The more you have the less you care The less you care the more you become unaware And sure life’s not fair but it favors us apparently And how are we to interpret this excess Is it God’s favor ill-behavior or simply man’s modern progress God bless us as we sweep this mess under the rug Don’t want to walk barefoot on the tile and step in the mud Out of sight out of mind and pushed to the side Left for someone else to rationalize and justify (chorus) "What About Them?" by John Reuben Labels: john reuben, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

I Can't Unlove You
Postcards and lettersAnd pictures made to last forever To be boxed up and tossed away Knickknacks and souvenirs In an afternoon, they're out of here They'll disappear without a trace But what they mean to me Can never be replaced I can't unthink about you I can't unfeel your touch I can't unhear all the words Unsay all the things That used to mean so much I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through I'm finding out it's impossible to do Oh, it's no use I can't unlove you Intestates and old songs Like time they go on and on I guess I could learn to do the same I could wake up without you These two arms not around you Tell myself it's meant to be this way No matter how I try somethings I can't change I can't unthink about you I can't unfeel your touch I can't unhear all the words Unsay all the things That used to mean so much I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through I'm finding out it's impossible to do Oh, oh Oh, it's no use I can't unlove you I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through And finding out it's impossible to do Oh, oh, it's no use I can't unlove you "I Can't Unlove You" by Kenny Rogers Labels: kenny rogers, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Yesterday's Glues
The stars are moving on and I am staying home and I can't help but ask myself where did I go wrong? Ithad to be this way there's nothing left to say it never helps to hear that things will be okay. You may not remember me but I remember you and years can hide your memories and what you used to do If I could make this go away I'd wish that it was so,cause I should never have come here but I wanted you to know time is harsh and won't forgive the way we have to live sometimes the only thing to say just get in the way I always knew that I could never live a lie and maybe if I'd let this go things will be alright I tried again today to make this go away it never helps to hear that things will be okay.

Gotta Be Somebody
This time,I wonder what it feels like, To find the one in this life, The one we all dream of But dreams just aren't enough So I´ll be waiting for the real thing, I know it by the feeling, The moment when we´re meeting, Will play out like a scene Straight off the silver screen So I`ll be holdin' my breath, Right up to the end Until that moment when I find the one that I spend forever with... 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there, 'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares, Someone to love with my life in their hands, There's gotta be somebody for me like that. 'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own, And everyone wants to know they're not alone, Somebody else that feels the same somewhere, There's gotta be somebody for me out there. Tonight, Out on the street, out in the moonlight, And damn it, this feels too right, It's just like Déjà Vu Me standin’ here with you So I'll be holdin' my breath, Could this be the end? Is it that moment when I find the one that I spend forever with? 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there, 'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares, Someone to love with my life in their hands, There's gotta be somebody for me like that. 'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own, And everyone wants to know they're not alone, Is somebody else that feels the same somewhere? There's gotta be somebody for me out there. (Ohoohohohhh...) (Ohoohohohhh...) (Ohoohohohhh...) (Ohoohohohhh...) Ooh You can´t give up, Lookin' for that diamond in the rough, (Because you never know) When it shows up, (Make sure you're holdin' on) 'Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on 'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there, And everyone wants to feel like someone cares, Someone to love with my life in their hands, There's gotta be somebody for me... Ohhhhhh Nobody wants to go it on their own, And everyone wants to know they're not alone, Is somebody else that feels the same somewhere? There's gotta be somebody for me out there. Nobody wants to be the last one there, And everyone wants to feel like someone cares, Is somebody else that feels the same somewhere? There's gotta be somebody for me out there...

"American Dream"
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boyBut all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul But he's moving on full steam He's chasing the American dream And he's gonna give his family finer things “Not this time son I've no time to waste Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play” And then he slips into his new BMW And drives farther and farther and farther away Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night He says things will get better; Better in time [Chorus] So he works and he builds with his own two hands And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands His kingdom stands Well his American Dream is beginning to seem More and more like a nightmare With every passing day "Daddy, can you come to my game?" "Oh Baby, please don't work late." Another wasted weekend And they are slipping away 'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night He tells them things are getting better Just take a little more time [Chorus] So he works and he builds with his own two hands And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands His kingdom stands He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins" But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end I'll take a shack on the rock Over a castle in the sand Now he works all day and cries alone at night It's not getting any better Looks like he's running out of time [Chorus] 'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands His kingdom stands All they really wanted was you All they really wanted was you All they really wanted was you "American Dream" by Casting Crowns Labels: casting crowns, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Gee, I'm glad it's raining
Gee I'm glad it's raining There's always something to be thankful for. I'm awfully glad it's raining Cause no one sees your tear drops when it pours. And no one knows the thunder Is your heartbreak in disguise, They think the rainy nights What put that sad look in your eyes. Sure am glad it's raining. The gentle rythmn soothes the pain inside. I'm glad the stars aren't shining. A wounded warrior needs a place to hide. I thought I had found someone I could count on til the end. What they wanted was a hero, All I needed was a friend Gee I'm glad it's raining. I hope the morning sun won't come up soon. As long as it keeps raining, No one knows my heart broke right in two. I thought I had found someone I could count on til the end. What they wanted was a hero, All I needed was a friend Sure am glad it's raining.

Throwin' Out Tha Wicked
Gosh I hate demons I rip ‘em in half Grabbin ‘em Than I be stabbin em with my lyrical dagger I’m getting madder like every single minute Cuz every time there’s trouble demons try to get me in it Ahhh!!! There always doin something to try to hold me back From serving Christ So I hit ‘em with a spiked bat Splat!!! The devils on the ground so I kick him Cuz this is one Christian that aint gonna be another one of the devils victims Shake ‘em with my rhyme in the spine Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord So I don’t live by the sword And if you got beef than I leave it alone Cuz I’m saved to the bone God is on the throne He set me free glory hallelujah praise the lord And now I be hangin demons by they necks with my mic cord And you can punch me in the lip But I still won’t quit Preachin the word of god So step the heck back cuz I spit When I be rappin upon the microphone Cuz I’m a cyclone pelon T-Bone is the one who be known For jackin demons with a chrome bar over the head They keep on beatin him down till they swimming in a pool of red Then ill spit on him Laugh at him And step on him And let him know I be that redeemed hooligan The one who’s known to put demons in check Break they necks And at the same time catch wreck So if I see a quija board you know I’m gonna kick it Cuz I don’t play with sin yo I’m throwin out the wicked Throwin out wicked like god (4xs) All the homies know Us got the beats and I got the rhymes And in my scriptures every single day you know that I climbs a Little bit higher becuz all of these demons on my trail And I don’t wanna fail Cuz the nails went right thru his hands But some people don’t understand all the pain that he went thru But what if it happened to you? What would you do? If they ripped your dirty nanzas with a cat of nine tails And stuck a crown of thorns in your held till ya bled Then drilled your hands and feet to the form of a wooden cross I thank god that the blood he shed wasn’t lost They whipped him Kicked him Spikes were driven thru his hands and feet So that I can be forgiven The blood of Christ was a sacrifice that set me free So for eternity I wanna be livin in misery But people swearin hells gonna be fun and games But wait till the judgment day when everybody’s burnin in the flames Ahhh!!! They’ll yell Cuz hell is a place Of fire and brimstone where the skin melts off your face So you best throw the wicked out ya life Accept his sacrifice It’ll bring you back to life But in a whole different place this time Where there’s no pain sorrow gains getting mugged is a crime But there will only be streets of golden mansion And won’t be lunatics like that vato Charles Manson The only lunatic in all of heaven will be me I’m jackin demons (speaking in Spanish) I’m knocking out the devil like Julio Cesar Chavez Then I’ll kick him in his face till his nose is broke Blood be flyin everywhere This fogs from my gun smoke Cuz I stuck my double barrel down his mouth and I click it (Gun cock sound) POW!!! I’m throwin out the wicked Throwin out wicked like god (8xs) Straight from the slums I comes with drums And beats demons over the head with clubs Bats brooms sticks chains I’m going insane I got no brains I’m obsessed with slaughtering all these demons everyday The only way to do that is to get on my knees and pray Then find the devil and say (speaking in Spanish) Then spray him with my tag up against the wall like graffiti I never ever celebrate the day of Halloween Becuz I’ve been redeemed My slates been cleaned I’m throwin out the wicked like the witches of east wick And when I do that yo it’s more brutal than a Jason flick Attacking demons like a pit bull full of wool Cuz I’m the lunatic that escaped from the mental ward Tying demons to my truck Than I drags ‘Em down a jacked up freeway while they laying in they body bags The devil tries to run But I’m gonna find you Huh yea Cuz its through prayer that I bind you (Crowd yelling) Ha!!! You’re bound in the name of Jesus I’m the hunter And the devil be the prey I’m taking out the devil like a renegade Throwin out wicked like god (till fade) "Throwin' Out Tha Wicked" by T-Bone (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"He's My Son"
I think this song is a prayer for at least one person in everyone's life. It doesn't have to be your son or even a relative and the pain and the trouble that person is experiencing can be anything. This song really touched my heart and brought me to tears as I thought about that person in my life that I would take all of the pain away from if I could.I'm down on my knees again tonight I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right See there is a boy that needs Your help I've done all that I can do myself His mother is tired I'm sure You can understand Each night as he sleeps She goes in to hold his hand And she tries not to cry As the tears fill her eyes CHORUS: Can You hear me? Am I getting through tonight? Can You see him? Can You make him feel all right? If You can hear me Let me take his place somehow See, he's not just anyone He's my son Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep I dream of the boy he'd like to be I try to be strong and see him through But God who he needs right now is You Let him grow old Live life without this fear What would I be Living without him here He's so tired and he's scared Let him know that You're there CHORUS Can You hear me? Can You see him? Please don't leave him He's my son "He's My Son" by Mark Schultz Labels: lyrics, mark shultz (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"My Reason"
I've never liked the shelterI'm constantly alone I'm poinitng out my weakness There's an emptyness at home I need to find a reason To live this way I'm running out of patience And my life is over I'm standing here but I'm on my way searching to find an answer I'm standing here but it's all the same and I'm running out of patience (Chorus) And I will take my reason from you And I've gained a reason from you But you left me You left me here And I'm alone Been stripped of my innocence Take pity in myself A certain chain of grievance That puts me in this hell I need to find a reason To live this way I'm running out of patience And my life is over I'm standing here But I'm on my way Searching to find an answer I'm standing here But it's all the same And I'm running out of patience (Chorus) And I will take my treason from you And I've gained a reason from you But you left me You left me here I'm all alone I'm all alone I'm all alone I'm all alone Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Well I'm searching To find my reason To find a reason To find my reason Why I need you And I need you And I want you But I need to Get away from you And I need you And I want you But I need to Get away from you And I need you And I want you But I need to Get away from you And I need you And I want you But I need to Get away from you And I will take my reason from you And I needed somebody to love me But you just left me here And I'm lonely You know I needed Someone to love me But I'm all alone "My Reason" by Linkin Park Labels: linkin park, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"Industry"
Do you remember the time, when the purpose and the rhyme, was to see the souls affected.But now its to man, every purpose and every plan, to whom the praise is directed. We live out dream, make the crowd scream, but turn to yell at the sound man, Since where and when did we stop checking the word and begin to start checking the sound scan. Remember when shows were for souls and rhymes were for flows. Now we spend one minute to pray, if even that for each day, but spend 2 hours checkin our clothes. what happened to the passion we was having that was sparked in the begining. but we're quick to cry, point the speck in your eye, but even quicker to justify our sinning. we're wuick to diss and raise the fist to justify the things that we do. but for every finger we point at them, just remember freind there's 4 more pointin back at you. how and when did it all begin as ministry turned to industry. cause did jesus need a manager, record label, ditributor, or even a boooking agency. when troubles came, did he call upon the name, or turn to a lawyer to handle it. why do we ask God last, ignore the past, but be the first to ask our management. cause next to him, our glory's dim and truely pales in comparison. why does every move we choose seem to revolve around we can get our groove on, but yet worry about comin on to strong. yet we water it down so much there aint even nothing left to chew on. souls become sales, and sales become a salary give the crowd something to feel, whine about keepin it real, but dont try to keep it to reality. yet when its all over and the mic is hung and its all said and done. it wont matter how many battles i won, but only the souls that i have won. on the other side, will my silly pride cause me to hold my head up proud . If I wont have beef with you then, tell me freind, why should I have a beef wth you now. At the end of my life when I held that mic did I really truelly deserve it. Forget if i was phat, Forget if i was whack, I want to hear well done my good and faithful servant. Labels: industry, kj-52, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"What Do You Think About That?"
I heard it through the grapevineMy new neighbor don't like my big red barn A '47 Ford, bullet holes in the door Broke down motor in the front yard I got half a mind to paint a plywood sign And nail it up on a notty pine tree Saying I was here first This is my piece of dirt And your rambling don't rattle me Some people care about what other people think Worry about what they say Let a little gossip Coming from a loose lip ruin a perfect day Say, blah, blah, blah, just a jacking their jaws Got a letta roll off-a my back I don't give a dern what other people think What do ya think about that I wear what I want to, overalls work boots Crank my music up loud Like to sling a little mud in my four wheel drive Trek it all into town Shot a little eight ball down at the pool hall Drink a beer with my friends Now don't judge me and I won't judge you Cause we all get judged in the end Some people care about what other people think Worry about what they say Let a little gossip Coming from a loose lip ruin a perfect day Say, blah, blah, blah, just a jacking their jaws Got a letta roll offa my back I don't give a dern what other people think What do ya think about that Some people care about what other people think Worry about what they say Let a little gossip Coming from a loose lip ruin a perfect day Say, blah, blah, blah, just a jacking their jaws Got a letta roll offa my back I don't give a dern what other people think What do ya think about that Say, I don't give a damn what other people think What do ya think about that What do ya think about that "What Do You Think About That" by Montgomery Gentry Labels: lyrics, montgomery gentry (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

It always winds up feeling more like a job interview My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go A few months later I remember lying there in bed I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes And then all of a sudden Oh, it seemed so strange to me How we went from something's missing To a family Lookin' back all I can say About all the things he did for me Is I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in And now all of a sudden It seemed so strange to me How we've gone from something's missing To a family Lookin' through the glass I think about the man That's standin' next to me And I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be Lookin' back all I can say About all the things he did for me Is I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be Because he didn't have to be You know he didn't have to be "He Didn't Have to be" by Brad Paisley Labels: brad paisley, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

My vision is altered There's a blind wind running Through the trees My memories They deceive so cunningly With no reply With no reprieve I try to chase what I believe Into my mind Where I lie - that everything's fine But if I could... turn around And if I could... hear the sound And if I could... feel the ground falling beneath me I don't want to tell you goodbye But I don't want to tell you a lie This thing...

Free, free, set them free Free, free, set them free If you need somebody Call my name If you want someone You can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key If you want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me If you love somebody If you love someone If you love somebody If you love someone, set them free Set them free Set them free Set them free If it's a mirror you want Just look into my eyes Or a whipping boy Someone to despise Or a prisoner in the dark Tied up in chains you just can't see Or a beast in a gilded cage That's all some people ever want to be If you love somebody If you love someone If you love somebody If you love someone, set them free Set them free Set them free Set them free You can't control an independent heart Can't tear the one you love apart Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live We can't live here and be happy with less So many riches So many souls With everything we see that we want to possess If you need somebody Call my name If you want someone You can do the same If you want to keep something precious You got to lock it up and throw away the key You want to hold onto your possession Don't even think about me If you love somebody If you love someone If you love somebody If you love someone, set them free Set them free Set them free Set them free Set them free "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free" by Sting (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
Isn't it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore? Maybe it's me but this line isn't going anywhere, maybe if we looked hard enough, we could find a backdoor. (Find yourself a backdoor.) I see you in line, dragging your feet you have my sympathy. The day you were born, you were born free. That is your privilege. Isn't it strange that the man standing in front of me doesn't have a clue why he's waiting, or what he's waiting for? Maybe it's me, but I'm sick of wasting energy. Maybe if I look in my heart I could find a backdoor. (Find yourself a backdoor.) I see you in line, dragging your feet you have my sympathy. The day you were born, you were born free. That is your privilege. "Privilege" by Incubus (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

And God show me how I'm supposed to trust in things beyond my sight So teach me how to kneel when I don't know how to feel and show me where you are when my faith can't reach that far, my faith can't reach that far And tell me there is more to this life than only what my heart can see take all these fears make them into more than who I used to be is my soul to blind too see the truth you have for me cause this peace I feel inside is too weak to survive My heart has left me alone again is this the beginning? Is this the end? Is this the time you'll never let me in again? "Reach That Far" by Eleventyseven Labels: eleventyseven, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Tell me all about your favorite bands How they're super-indie-neo-hardcore Tell me all about your favorite hobbies And the way you love sunsets Well who doesn't? Still I'd like the chance to really see If what you say is true and has integrity Cause I could know everything about you And still know nothing at all I know that it's wrong to form an opinion on only what I see But in my defense it's really hard to know When MySpace is the only thing that you ever show So it seems you've got a lot of friends How many of them know you Or even care if you're alive or dead? When was the last time you were honest Instead of posting blogs of fake emotions? Still I'd like the chance to really see If what you say is true and has integrity Cause I could know everything about you And still know nothing at all I know that it's wrong to form an opinion on only what I see But in my defense it's really hard to know When MySpace is the only thing that you ever show When you finally resurface to the point of finding purpose We'll begin to see just who you are I know that it's wrong to form an opinion on only what I see But in my defense it's really hard to know When MySpace is the only thing that you ever show "MySpace" by Eleventyseven Labels: eleventyseven, lyrics, myspace (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Rothchild, Evelyn, Rueben, and Sue And just for discussion through random selection We've chosen two couples who haven't a clue Rothchild was lucky to marry so wealthy, Evelyn bought him a house on the beach. Rueben and Sue, they had nothing but Jesus And at night they would pray that he would care for them each Chorus: And the rain, came down, And it blew the forewalls down And the clouds they rolled away And one set of Jones', was standing that day Evelyn's daddy was proud of young Rothchild, He worked the late hours to be number one Just newly weds and their marriage got rocky, He's flying to Dallas, she's having a son. Rueben was holding, a Giddeon's Bible, And he screamed "it's a boy" so that everyone heard And the guys at the factory took a collection, And again God provided for bills he incured (Chorus) So what is the point of this story, What am I trying to say Well is your life built on the rock of Christ Jesus Or a sandy foundation you've managed to lay Well needless to say Evelyn left her husband N' sued him for every penny he had But I truly wish that those two would find Jesus Before things get worse than they already have (Chorus) And the rain, came down, And it blew the forewalls down And the clouds they rolled away There's two sets of jones' Which ones will you be?

Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away Settling down will you marry me If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please She'd of said Yes in a New York minute They never tied the knot His heart wasn't in it Stole a kiss as he road away He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place I should've been a Cowboy I should'be learned to rope and ride Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on a cattle drive Stealing the young girl's hearts Just like Gene and Roy Singing those campfire songs I should've been a cowboy I might of had a side kick with a funny name Running wild through the hills chasing Jesse James Ending up on the brink of danger Riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers Go west yound man, haven't you been told California's full of whisky, women and gold Sleeping out all night beneath the Texas stars Dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart I should've been a Cowboy I should'be learned to rope and ride Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on a cattle drive Stealing the young girl's hearts Just like Gene and Roy Singing those campfire songs I should've been a cowboy "Should've Been A Cowboy" by Toby Keith Labels: lyrics, toby keith (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why Don't know why I have to drive so fast My car has nothing to prove It's not new But it'll do zero to sixty in five point two I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why Can't be late, I leave in plenty of time Shakin' hands with the clock I can't stop I'm on a roll and I'm ready to rock I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why Oh, I hear a voice That says I'm running behind Better pick up my pace It's a race and there ain't no room for someone in second place I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun All I really gotta do is live and die But I'm in a hurry and don't know why "I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why) by Alabama (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

The answer lies in you You hung to make me strong Though my praise was few When I fall and bring your name down But I have found in you A heart that pleads forgiveness Replacing all these thoughts Of painful memories But I know That your response will always be (Chorus) I'll take you back always And even when your fight is over now Even when your fight is over now I'll take you back always And even when the pain is coming through Even when the pain is coming through I'll take you back You satisfy this cry Of what I'm looking for And I take all I can And lay it down Before the throne of endless grace, now That radiates what's true I'm in the only place That erases all these faults That have overtaken me But I know That your response will always be (Repeat Chorus) I can only speak With a grateful heart As I'm pieced by this gift Of your love I will always bring an offering I can never thank you enough (Chorus Two) You'll take me back always And even when my fight is over now Even when my fight is over now You'll take me back always And even when my pain is coming through Even when my pain is coming through You'll take me back always Even when my fight is over now Even when my fight is over now You'll take me back always Even when my pain is coming through Even when my pain is coming through You'll take me back "Take Me Back" by Jeremy Camp Labels: jeremy camp, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Greener scenery, This weather's bringing it all back again. Great adventures, Faces and condensation, I'm going outside to take it all in. You say too late to start got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. Wear a different pair, Just something out of step, Throw a stranger an unexpected smile. With big intention, Still posted at your station, Always on about the day it should have flown. You say too late to start got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. (How can you lose?) Afraid to start, got your heart in a headlock, No, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. You've been walking, You've been hiding, And you look half-dead half the time. Monitoring you, like machines do, You've still got it I'm just keeping an eye. X2 You know you're better than this, Can't make a start got your heart in a headlock, No I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. Afraid (How can you lose?) to start got your heart in a headlock, I don't believe any of it. You say too late to start with your heart in a headlock, You know you're better than this. "Headlock" by Imogen Heap Labels: imogen heap, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

No I am yours With crippled anger And tears that still drip sore A fragile flame aged Is misery And when our hearts meet I know you see I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut I may seem crazy Or painfully shy And these scars wouldn't be so hidden If you would just look me in the eye I feel alone here and cold here Though I don't want to die But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut Pain I am not alone I am not alone I'm not a stranger No I am yours With crippled anger And tears that still drip sore But I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I found it when I was cut "Cut" by Plumb (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

That you were lost at sea I found you drowning on the ocean floor I woke from my deep sleep to end the misery I found you lying outside of my door I tried to wake you up To shake you up And found out you were dead Like a leaf in the wind you left me standing alone To face the demons in my head We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive A dusty record spins An old song plays again The needle drags across it's skin Ink spills through my pen The paper soaks it in The music bringing tremors to my hands I can't just give you up Just lift you up to chance on a dragon fly's wings With my love in the wind you left me standing alone Hoping it brings you back to me We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive [x2] We are not poets We have not right to make amendments This story's over This chapter's closing I don't know how it ends But I really don't like how it begins We're making fiction of our lives Burning pages as we write We read the lies between the lines These dead letters won't survive [x2] We're burning pages We're burning pages now "Fiction" by Kids in the Way Labels: kids in the way, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

I'm shyest when I'm shouting out loud I feel so alone in a room full of people I'm loudest when I'm in a crowd I'm alone, and nobody hears me Can't nobody heal me, won't somebody help me I'm alone, I just need Someone to take my hand and pick me up when I'm feeling down Someone to take my heart and give it a home Someone to help me through the times when I'm down and lonely Someone to be with me when I'm alone I'm alone, all alone Alone is the way I live, it's not the way I want it but you know You can't give in, alone is the way I feel, it's so hard to understand Why I've got to be alone Chorus: If you took a look at my heart you'd see it I'm trying to be something better If you look at my heart you'd feel it I've got to keep moving on If you look in my heart you'd know it I'm just trying to make my world better If you look in my heart you'd see it I got to do it alone I've been down, I've been down I've been down, down, down so low I've been lost, so lost with no place left to go I've had emotions, emotions that you better hope you never know Sometimes it feels like I just can't take no more Chorus Seems like things just keep getting further out of hand Why can't for once things go as I plan How dare you, how dare you tell me that you understand Let me tell you straight out, there ain't nobody here that can I'm all alone, I'm so alone, to be alone, just leave me alone If you look in my heart, you'll see it If you look in my heart, you'd feel it If you look in my heart you'd know it I'm not trying to make no one bitter I'm just alone, leave me alone, alone, alone, now leave me I've lived in places that you wouldn't never ever want to be Places where for a minute you couldn't ever stand to be I've seen things, I've seen things you'd never want to see So what gives, what gives you the right to be the judge of me I'm all alone, I'm so alone, to be alone, just leave me alone A room full of people, can't nobody hear me, can't nobody help me, I'm alone I just need someone to take my hand and pick me up when I'm feeling down, when I"m down Someone to take my heart and give it a home, when I'm down Someone to be with me and help me through the times I'm down and lonely, when I'm down Someone to be with me when I'm alone I'm alone, all alone Alone is the way I live, it's not the way I want it, but I Know I can't give in Alone is the way I feel, there ain't nothign quite as sad as a person that's alone "Alone" by Suicidal Tendencies Labels: lyrics, suicidal tendencies (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Your words they make me smile As I drift away In my little room upstairs Oh I spend my nights Imagining your face your touch Then I realize How I don't even know your name If we could share our time Would I disappoint your fantasies I believe that you could be the one I'm needing 'cause I'm only lonely on the inside didn't mean to take away your dreams only lonely on the inside when you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts I could start to give apologies For all the stupid things That I will say and I will do If we should ever cross the same place at the same time Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me If we could share our life Would I disappoint your memories I believe that I could be the one your needing And I'm CHORUS If I could give back your hopes your joys your treasures Don't you think that I would change my world But there's so many things trying to pull us together Even though we're far apart I can still watch you walk away Only lonely on the inside Didn't mean to take away your dreams Only lonely on the inside When you close your eyes do you see me "Only Lonely" by Hootie and the Blowfish Labels: hootie and the blowfish, lyrics (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

From trying to slow down I'm always burning my tires And my horn is to loud I catch people looking funny at me When I step to the window and I toss a TV Sometimes I get crazy and it makes a big scene But when I hit 21 I wanna stand up and scream I'm filthy rich with laughter, I'm too big for the room You know from two stories up A Zenith makes a big boom It's hard to get around in a six foot town When your ten feet tall everything is so small I'm always bumping my head I'm way to long for the bed It's hard to get around In a six foot town. Some people live inside a tiny little box Their preoccupied about mismatching their socks I never been one to worry about much I just wanna laugh and love I just wanna live it up It's hard to get around in a six foot town When your ten feet tall everything is so small I'm always bumping my head I'm way to long for the bed It's hard to get around In a six foot town. Sometimes I stumble just because of my size But hey y'all that's alright That's the way God made me I am what I am And I can't do nothing bout that It's hard to get around in a six foot town When your ten feet tall everything is so small I'm always bumping my head I'm way to long for the bed It's hard to get around It's hard to get around in a six foot town When your ten feet tall everything is so small I'm always bumping my head I'm way to long for the bed It's hard to get around In a six foot town "Six Foot Town" by Big & Rich Labels: big and rich, lyrics, six foot town (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"Miss You Like Crazy"
Even though it's been so longMy love for you keeps going strong I remember the things that we used to do A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you CHORUS: I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy Ever since you went away Every hour of every day I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy No matter what I say or do There's just no getting over you I can see the love shining in your eyes And there comes a such a sweet surprise If seeing's believing it's worth the wait So hold and tell me it's not too late We're so good together, we starting forever now CHORUS I miss you like crazy I miss you baby Love like ours will never end Just touch me and we're there again Just one night And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we gonna make it through It seems believing is worth the wait So hold and tell me it's not too late We're so good together, we starting forever now CHORUS And I miss you, I missed you All the tender love you gave me A feeling gets this strong You know the real thing's come along And I miss you I miss you like crazy baby Only your sweet love can save me I miss you like crazy A love like ours will never end Just touch me and we're there again I miss you like crazy I miss you like crazy No matter what I say or do --Natalie Cole Labels: lyrics, natalie cole (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"All The Things She Said"
All the things she saidAll the things she said Running through my head All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head This is not enough This is not enough All the things she said All the things she said And I'm all mixed up, feeling cornered and rushed They say it's my fault but I want her so much Wanna fly her away where the sun and rain Come in over my face, wash away all the shame When they stop and stare - don't worry me 'Cause I'm feeling for her what she's feeling for me I can try to pretend, I can try to forget But it's driving me mad, going out of my head --Tatu (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
