In My World 04:01
In my world, everything is fine. I’ve got plenty of what I need, I’ve got plenty of time. And all of the saints and all the chiefs come to my parties. We sit on the lawn shaded by trees, discussions are lively. In my world, everything is beautiful and we’re happy, all the time, and you can tell that the people want what they already have. Oh all, all is well...in my world. In my world everyone’s at peace. There’s no need for armies of men, no need for police. And all of the little babes can play outside in the garden. Their bodies are safe, their minds are free, their hearts never harden. In my world, everything is beautiful and we’re happy, all the time, and you can tell that the people want what they already have. Oh all, all is well...in my world. Here’s to the young who have died. Here’s to all those who have tried to bring peace, hope and relief to the people in need, and those taking the lead to speak on behalf of those who don’t have a voice. Oh in my world, everything is beautiful and we’re happy, all the time, and you can tell that the people want what they already have. Oh all, all is well. Oh all, all is well in my world In my world, everything is fine.

You can stop my heart at once like water standing still, caught in your gaze I lose my will ‘Cause only your love matters. When you hold me it’s undeniable, how powerful is your love. While I sleep, my dreams, they pale ‘cause when my dreams are through I wake up to you. And only your love matters When you hold me, it’s undeniable, how powerful is your love. Only your love matters. When you hold me it’s undeniable. And only your love matters. When you hold me, it’s undeniable and powerful.

When you need to talk, I’ll listen ‘til you’re through If you need to cry, I will cry with you When the world’s unkind and you’re feeling under attack Simply look behind you for I have got your back I am here for you. I am here for you. I’d do anything for you, anything for you. Should you ever doubt the esteem in which you’re held I will list the reasons why you make me melt and in your darker moments I will try to make you smile ‘cause if love were an inch, Baby, for you I’d go a mile, a mile, a mile… I am here for you. I am here for you. I’d do anything for you, anything for you. Do you have any idea how much you do for me? Do you have any idea how much you mean to me? I am here for you. I am here for you. Oh I, I am here for you, oh… I am here for you. I’d do anything for you, anything for you.

Wake Me 02:28
I didn’t think much before you, thought I bored you. I think I’ll ignore you. You persist in your advances, subtle glances but I won’t take my chances. Oh you tried to wake me from my sleep. You tried to wake me. You tried to wake me from my sleep. You tried to get into my bed and get inside my head and raise me from the dead. I, I had it all together, I was better. Now I’m strong as a feather. You think you can cut right through it and pursue it. I dare you to do it. Oh you tried to wake me from my sleep. You tried to wake me. You tried to wake me from my sleep. You tried to get into my bed and get inside my head and raise me from the dead. There’s something you oughtta know. These eyes tell more than just meets the eye. ‘Though in defiance I deny your desire inside I’m dying to believe it’s true. You tried to wake me from my sleep. You tried to wake me. You tried to wake me from my sleep. You tried to wake me. You tried to get into my bed and get inside my head and and raise me from the dead, to get into my bed and get inside my head and raise me from the dead, to get into my bed and get inside my head and raise me from the dead.

I’m headed to Culpepper, on this fine day in fall. Get to the hanger and climb in my Pietenpol. As I am rising all life down below starts to shrink and so do my troubles, ‘cause up here I don’t have to think. Oh, someday, I may be grounded but until then, you’ll find me up here in the sky. The colors of leaves and the glow of the sun sooth my mind. I wish I could feel this way all of the time. From 500 feet I can smell the sweet corn below. This leg’s smooth as silk with just 60 more miles to go. Oh, someday, I may be grounded but until then, you’ll find me up here. Oh, someday, I may find myself grounded but until that day, you’ll find me way up here in the sky.

Let Me Go 03:44
What can I say? You’re not giving me a break. Guess you can’t stand this; it’s not on your terms anymore. Let me go. Let me go. It was hard enough to leave on my own. But these desperate pleas are killing me, oh let me go. I know it’s been rough. But is this really about love? Why can’t you just give up? It’s not as if we didn’t try. So, won’t you let me go. Let me go. It was hard enough to leave on my own. But these desperate pleas are killing me, oh let me go. I really wish there was another way but I can hear what you would say. If I came back, you’d say go, I’d say yes, you’d say I don’t know. Let me go. Let me go. It’s hard enough just to be on my own. Let me go ‘cause these desperate pleas are killing me. Oh I cannot fight another night. I cannot fight another night. Oh let me go.

When I was a child burdens were light playing kick the can into the night. My best friend and I were Harriet the spy, plotting our schemes by the creek. Always running about, not quite figured out the best things in life are free. The best things in life are free. The best things in life are free. First out on my own, barely getting by. Still some of the happiest times of my life. Stepped out of my shell, made friends, even fell, got in my very first band. Loss followed soon behind then troubled times, now I’m fine. And now I’ve learned why… the best things in life are free. The best things in life are free. When my time to go it will not be possessions I measure. It’s good times with people I love I will most treasure. The best things in life are free. Gazing at stars, pride in who you are, Listening to streams and lovely daydreams. Laughing with friends, walks on the beach, love from our elders and all they can teach. The best things in life are free. The best things in life are free. The best things in life are free.
