Make It Right
Waiting
Hoping
Carry through
So I can somehow see
So I can somehow see
What you have meant for me
You’ll always be
The better part of me
Failing
Fighting
Talking through
So I can always know
So I can always know
The path that I should go
Lighten the load
Down this narrow road
Oh yes I’m trying, to make it right
O Lord I’m trying, to make it right
Losing
Laughing
Loving through
Oh won’t you lead me on
Oh won’t you lead me on
Right out into the dawn
Once upon
I had the story wrong
Oh yes I’m trying, to make it right
O Lord I’m trying, to make it right

Falling In
[CHORUS}
Falling in
Over and again
There is nothing that I’d rather do
Falling in
Over and again
I can’t keep from falling into you
Late at night
In glow of garden light
Moon carving out who we have been
Back patio
Trees waiving to and fro
Clear southern smile drawing me in
{CHORUS}
Amusing me
After I lost the key
Hero she dove in my window
Battered hearts
Harder to tear apart
Despite the differences we know
{CHORUS}
Bridge
And all of the bad luck endings
And all of the hope tomorrow brings
Won’t stand for anything
Unless you’re falling
CHORUS

Grenade

GRENADE
She pulled the pin from the grenade
And talked about the plans she made
Took the blame for what it was
Felt she’d never be enough
And built her newest barricade
Then a lark flew by the window
And it brought the smell of rain
The coffee pot was cold
The situation old
And he smiled through the pain
He said if this is over
It’s worth the price we paid
And there are no regrets
So let go of that grenade
She inhaled for the final
Yet resolve began to fade
What she needed was a friend
Who will be there till the end
Through the doubts that will pervade
He stood within the doorway
And honesty led her refrain
Are we just this place in time
Is there meaning to this rhyme
And how do you see it so plain
Are we just this place in time
Is there meaning to this rhyme
And how do you see it so plain
He said when the storm blows over
And you want this to remain
Just promise me your best
And go bury that grenade
On down the line, be just fine, be just fine, on down the line

Waiting On
Where did you go what did you see
Who were you before you encountered me
When did it feel different to you
Why was the scene all grey and all blue
Who told a lie you thought to be true
Was it a fear that awoke within you
A fork in the road oh my sweetest friend
Where will you break and where will you bend
Where will you break and where will you bend
Waiting on the truth
I keep waiting on...you
Now I was along just for the ride
And you made me feel like I was coming alive
How many times did I make you smile
In sweetest surrender or just like a child
A soul to adore all sacred and light
Filled with such doubt alone in the night
They say it takes hope to ignite a spark
To lighten the way straight out of the dark
To lighten the way straight out of the dark
Waiting on the truth
I keep waiting on...you … you … you
A fork in the road oh my sweetest friend
Where will you break and where will you bend
Where will you break and where will you bend
Where will you break and where will you bend
Where will you break and where will you bend

Change The World
she went out to change the World
not your ordinary girl
no picket fence, no diamond ring
she had her heart on other things
brought a Light into the heart of Africa.
upon that hope she will rely
saw the Smoke that Thunders down in Zambia
prayed at night that she one day be ready
to change the World
to change the
well, she went off to change the World
(change the world)
not your ordinary girl
no picket fence, no diamond ring
(change the world)
she had her heart on other things
The sky at night and children kicking an old ball
The joy they shared was humbling
a world of change for her that opened up a door
Small voice on the wind & she was ready
well, she went off to change the World
(change the world)
not your ordinary girl
no picket fence, no diamond ring
(change the world)
she had her heart on other things
well, she went off to change the World
(change the world)
not your ordinary girl
she went off to change the world

Blue Eyed Michigan
Saw you across the room down at Governor’s Park
You made fun of my shirt I liked to hear you talk
First kiss a baseball game above the sky was blue
Asked you to marry me and you said I do
The Wyoming Wind
Took an oath to love and defend
To drive out the rains whenever they roll in
For the heart of Blue Eyed Michigan
Fast forward to the fears of what the doctor said
You pulled into the drive with what might lie ahead
Through all the suffering how you carried me
Always the solid rock to my dark anxiety, but
The Wyoming Wind
Took an oath to love and defend
To drive out the rains whenever they roll in
For the heart of Blue Eyed Michigan
How I’m a lucky man to raise a child with you
Our little red head girl with all her points of view
Family nights, back porch lights, the driving march of time
Holding onto your sweet love that I can’t believe is mine
The Wyoming Wind
Took an oath to love and defend
To drive out the rains whenever they roll in
For the heart of Blue Eyed Michigan
For the heart of Blue Eyed Michigan
For the heart of Blue Eyed Michigan
For the heart of Blue Eyed Michigan

Newton's Epic
You were an angry sailor
Roving cross the sea
A slave trading raider
In the 18th century
Coerced and beaten
Far far from your home
Never once did you reach out
All alone in Sierra Leone
But on a stormy night
West of Donegal
Broken man awoken
By a breach down in the hull
Amongst the rising waters
With no faith for you to laud
In your darkest hour
Finally cried out to God
Then the angels sang
They sang amazing grace over you
Hallelujah
Then the angels sang
They sang amazing grace over you
Hallelujah
You became a pastor
And you wrote prolifically
Your Thoughts upon the Slave Trade
Helped abolish that travesty
Gentle hymns of redemption
Oh how sweet the sound
I once was lost
But now am found
Then the angels sang
They sang amazing grace over you
Hallelujah
Then the angels sang
They sang amazing grace over you
Hallelujah
Now the angels sing
They sing amazing grace with you
Hallelujah
Now the angels sing
They sing amazing grace you know it’s true
Hallelujah
Now the angels sing
They sing amazing grace with you
Hallelujah
Yeah the saints they sing
They sing amazing grace because of you
Hallelujah

The Fire
Take all the finest moments
And put them on display
Take all the hidden feelings
And words too hard to say
Hold back the darker notions
Pray come what may
And seal off your inner ocean
For another day
For another day
And take all the fire away (x2)
Maybe then I’ll see you
But I think it’s for the best I don’t
There’s just too much smoke
And take all the fire away (x2)
Take all the pride and envy
And all the ways I stray
Take all the indecision
And love without delay
Build in me the wisdom
To grow and not decay
And lead me to quiet waters
Day after day
Day after day
And take all the fire away (x4)
And take all the fire away (x4)

Thunderhead
Am – F – C – G
Lightning strike on the edge of town
Cold wind blowing all around
Anger rose up sharp and raw
A thunderhead phenomena
Lightning strike on the edge of town
Lonely rumble rolling out
There he wanders up the road
Darkened by the heavy load
Lightning strike on the edge of town
Seeking ghosts that can’t be found
Hurried life can numb the pain
Yet the hollow still remains
Lightning strike on the edge of town
Makes a hard and wicked sound
Vanity I do recall
Always goes before the fall
(cello: swell and pull back when I say “Salt of Earth”)
Thunderhead over the plains
Raining down against the grain
Salt of Earth pray understand
Fallen way of every woman and man
