Took another walk to search myself
lately I've been finding someone else
More without a doubt I do believe
that a good walk is a sweet relief
Took another walk to
took another walk to serach myself
Lately I've been finding
somebody else
Took another walk to
walk is such a wonderful thing
Make my heart sing
Thank you Lawdy
Said there is a whisper in my soul
echoing in silence that I should know
What is of a sustenance to me
such a good friend such a sweet relief
Said there is a whisper
in my soul
echoing in silence that I should know
What is of a suste ... nance to me
such a good friend such a sweet relief
Took a little rest that I may climb
everyday the mountains that I find
Yes without a doubt I do believe
Yes a good walk is a sweet relief
Yes a good walk is a sweet relief
yes a good walk is a sweet relief yeah
Yes a good walk is a sweet relief
yes a good walk is a sweet relief
relief
relief

Ana
03:24

Play in the sand
without a care
lay in the sand
I'll clean out your hair
Ana my joy
wash over me
gather your joy
wash over me
Silence, it seems
weighs like a ton
might as well scream
loud as I can
Ana my child
falling like leaves
unwrap your smile
share it with me
(solo)
And when the sun
falls from the sky
I promise the sun
tomorrow will rise
Ana my light
I shine unto thee
gather your light
shine unto me

Love Alone Will Save
06:22
|

My head is old
and tilted to the grave
when I'm gone
who will my memory save?
When I was young my hand was forced against me
to a man I did not love
though to the law we were married
I he did not have
Still nothing can keep the heart from wishing
even in my bondage did I fly
then a man who walked in strength and power
spoke in song and rhyme
"Will you follow me where I may go, child
yes, I will follow you where you will go
life is short and tailored for the living
lead and I will go
----
Words soft and warm
he no longer shared
my heart grew cold
and stumbled t'ward the grave
What kind of man so drunk on power
crack the whip on everything he rule?
force a rose to cover up her flower
turn a queen to a mule
One of these days my darling
soon and it won't be long
you're gonna wake up a'callin'
and I'll be gone
Then death came so slow and uninvited
left him to lord no more
and left me with longing unrequited
wealthy yet poor
-----
One of these days my darling
soon and it won't be long
you'll wake up reaching for your sadness
and find it gone
Song after song
a young man to me gave
my heart grew warm
and flowered from the grave
don't you know that love is like an ocean
of satin blue, so vast and free
he was the bee to my blossom
I the pear to his tree
Then one day a storm came a'crashing
river near swallowed us whole
he was consumed by a madness
his heart I could not hold
This madness it had a hungry power
for my life it took an aim
I had no choice but to defend it
the judge gave me no blame
Dear God I loved him with a passion
loved him till death did us part
now I in my sorrow and confusion
over must start
Yes my head is old
and tilted to the grave
when I'm gone
love alone will save
love alone will save
love alone will ...

For the Taking
05:00
|
|||
Won't you wake me when you rise?
as the day is breaking
Won't you warm me with your smile?
love to us is saying
This day was made for you
lest we be mistaken
There's treasure through and through
ours for the taking
Said this day is open wide
quietly unfolding
Grace and beauty by your side
ever softly saying
This day was made for you
lest you be mistaken
There's treasure through and through
yours for the taking
(solo)
Spirit guide me when I rise
to be still and listen
in your whisper to abide
ever softly saying
This day was made for you
lest I be mistaken
There's treasure through and through
mine for the taking
yours for the taking
ours for the taking

To Be Loved
04:47
|

Believe you me
when those his age were children
he was known
for acting like a man
and his passion
toward the girls was legend
casanova, they called him then
After all, all he wanted was to be loved
by someone, who his love did receive
After all, all he wanted was to be loved
by someone, who in him, did believe
The only promise
to us from life is changes
most of which, in the end we can't control
Still we wrestle
through nights of fear and anguish
curse of ages, return my soul
'coz after all, all we want is to be loved
by someone, who our love does receive
After all, all we want is to be loved
by someone, who in us, does believe
Love will starve the hungry coward
a feast that's only for the brave
love will dish the harshest beating
to only those it came to save
Love will starve the hungry coward
a feast that's only for the brave
love will dish the harshest beating
to only those it came to save

Tenderness
03:41
|
|||
Forgive me for I am a child
stolen from his mother's breast
Never knew a mother's love
never knew no Tenderness
For years long and sorrow wide
I staggered through this world alone
This you must consider please
before you cast your perfect stone
Forgive me, still I am a boy
though manly in my every way
amongst the brambles I did grow
far from eyes that looked away
Tables how they seem to turn
what you see as victory
tomorrow brings you agony
then leads you to a river blessed
lashing out in my despair
so many things I do regret
but tears have made the bitter sweet
now I know of Tenderness
(end)

This I Believe
03:45
|

Father my father
sadly I hear
gone are your sons and your daughters
Poor and abandoned
they drowned in their tears
strangers to comfort and laughter
What I believe
is sunken and dead
It's hard to believe
when nothing is left
Brother, forgive me
my peace I have lost
before you stands a shadow
What I have yesterday
gained is awash
and who knows if there is tomorrow?
What I believe
is sunken and dead
It's hard to believe
when nothing is left
Sister, my sister
I beg you, stay close
gone is my heart in these waters
Come is a sadness that burdens me so
soon will be comfort and laughter
We wade through the sour
to get to the sweet
So better must come, come, come
This I Believe
