we all take time to socialize
on our phones and in disguise
not once do we realize
in this we're not alone

we argue over what we see
standing firm in our beliefs
all of it done constantly
in this we're not alone

look on them with jealousy
wishing somehow that was me
hoping to one day be set free
in this we're not alone

some of us give much away
while some vague in what they say
in how they spend their senseless day
in this we're not alone

picture perfect family
picture perfect scenery
adding to the filtered needs
in this we're not alone

until we realize with tear-filled eyes
the hidden truth behind the lies
and in that truth is where we find
in all of this we are alone

Just when you think it's over
Not sure it's going to last
Look forward to things that matter
Forget about the past

What's done my son is done
Don't let trouble have its way
For there's always tomorrow
Give it one more day

Don't let a bout of doubt
Put it's thumb on you
Drowned out all the sounds
That pull you from the truth

Things often get better
With or without you in the way
Down to the very letter
Give it one more day

You might think this is the ending
With no hope in sight
But it's just the beginning
The first day of the rest of your life

If there's anything worth having
Well, you know what they say
The joy of life is worth saving
Give it one more day

if you want for nothing
there's nothing that you want
which amounts to something
if you're in need of hope
pointing to the nothing
when you need something to show

You can read it in the papers
Hear it on the news
The world we're in is crumbling
The Devil's on the loose

If it ain't the angry weather
It's in man's bad attitude
Heartaches and hurricanes drain
Any ole good time mood

We can raise our hands in ignorance
Claim what's wrong is right
All join in this crazy dance
To the Devil's delight

It's permeates the earthly atmosphere
What's a boy and girl to do
From humidity to the driest need
Our seams have come unglued

You can see it in the faces
In the latest of knee jerks
In most all the cases
The Devil is at work

it didn't take too long
to finally hit this day
like a brick wall
run out of things to say
it's my own fault
for getting in the way

i'm afraid

it didn't take too long
to blink and draw a blank
with nothing going on
i only have me to thank
all bought for a song
but the gang already sang

ain't it a shame

it didn't take too long
for me to take a break
to give up hope
on what i wanted to say
to lose a slice of the pie
or a piece of the cake

the day

didn't take too long
for my thoughts to up and leave
to find this kiddy pool
entirely way to deep
what took so long
is the only thing i can think

see what i mean

I hope it is you know
That you are beautiful
There's an air about you
That sets off a certain glow

Like a painting hanging on display
A wonderful piece of art
I hope it is you know
How beautiful you are

I wanted you to know
So I jotted down this note
Out of all the wonders in this world
It's you that's beautiful

There is only one of you
After that God broke the mold
Because you're so beautiful
I thought you should be told

You are beautiful
But you are not alone
All the women of the world
Share beauty as their home

Age is not a factor
From the young to the old
You are woman and you shine
For you are beautiful

What is it now
That holds you back
From all of the questions
That are being asked
What do you find
That's in your way
Where you no longer
Have a say

What is it now
That you have allowed
To come thru your door
To crowd out your house
What do you find
That's on your mind
That has yet
Come to light

What is it now
That holds you down
When clearly there is
No one around
What do you find
That comes to light
When you reach
Deep down inside

What is it now...
