I hope to rectify all I've said and done. the strange ways i've lived my life under the setting sun. It's out of force of habit it's rather hard to break. Better hold on to love while you got it its getting hard to make. They say that sunny days, are just around the bend. They say that darkened ways, all must come to end. But everyday grows a little bit dimmer, this light we hold. Better grab on to love while you got it, fortune favors the bold. And I hold you And you see me And I told you But you showed me My eyes are weary, and my soul can't get no rest. Don't know if you can hear me, but i give you my best. But i see things rather clearly, it has to be this way. Didn't hold on to love while i had it, now its gone away. And I held you And you saw me And I told you But you showed me

With each generation the same one after another steal a dollar pay in pennies even envy each other whether its ego or pride that you put before your country we'd sing of pappy too if he weren't beat by Guthrie blow off some steam,man before your orange skin turns pale The apple dont fall far from the tree Bad Blood runs in the family through every test just to turn a blind eye you and yours proved Bad Blood Don't Lie Well come on children now we gotta rally to each other lest we all see the dark and accept our fate to smother while we criticize and victimize they capitalize and exercise and soon we'll all be put aside and there ain't no river deep nor wide there ain't no truth when Bad Blood Don't Lie

Hobbit Weed 06:59
Over hill under dale, by the river Anduin Walks the wizard who tells his tale of the hobbit and the ring He knows all! there is to know where hes been it surely shows He waves his staff He draws is sword the forces of evil are no more lightning crashes to the ground it makes such a deafening sound with a flash of light and all his might the wizard rides into the night. Join all on the shire mount to jam with the hobbit band and puff out ships that sail us to undying lands While daydreaming of songs with string and brass to get a glimpse of when all turns to silver glass.

Fly On By 04:50
Just flew past the mountain can't recall where i've been a shepherd on wings in the sky time and time again But no ones sight can spot me high above the clouds through the rain and snow stills no one knows it simply goes to show But you can't see me I am always there Reborn again as you were when your life began We fly fly on by never asking why never asking why but we fly on by But you can't see me I am always there Reborn again as you were when your life began when your life began fly fly on by and we fly on by and we fly on by never asking why flying oh so high oh my and we fly on by and we fly on by fly on by never asking why

Names 06:12
Billy Joe we gotta go gotta find a new piece of mind take your time and see all the signs on the way Mary Jane, is that your name? I did not mean to cause you any pain and I feel rather largely to blame for the way things are Betty Sue what you gonna do? killing yourself despite all you been through maybe one day you'll have a clue of how to go about it all Its Names making up all our lives Its games thats covering up all the lies Well i can't do this anymore today guess I'll pack up and go my way and if you need me just call my name. Betty Brown, walking round town loud as a train, but don't make no sounds everybody just calls her a clown (but dont ya know!?) But (that) she's happy Lazy Steve got everything he need don't need no friends he just do as he please living his life in a fantasy of his own creation well Billy Joe, what do ya know? all these people, they come and they go maybe one day, we'll all know what it means Its Names making up all our lives Its games thats covering up all the lies Well i can't do this anymore today guess I'll pack up and go my way and if you need me just call my name.

Been waiting for so long to relive our stories in this song for those most close in our lives to those from way back when and all more recent friends I hope they remember too and realize how far we've come and the cost and we're more familiar with the loss as we've all grown in the mind so for those from way back when and all more recent friends since everyone is one of a kind: When it comes to the people in your life nothing else matters at all we've all grown and know regret after time, change and sweat yet we reunite again And Here We Are. That feeling, unsuspecting when our eyes met and started dancing I finally found the better half of me look how we put each other at ease not to mention all the memories we know everything others can't see all the years we shared together still everyday with you gets better no distance can keep us apart look how we put each other at ease not to mention all the memories that made us who we are. When it comes to the people in your life nothing else matters at all after all this time gone and went if this last sacrifice was spent here in each other's arms again And Here We Are.
