He held her close
Cheek to cheek
As it was meant to be

The lights were dim
But they could see
By the flame of love that burned between

They gently swayed
As the music played
Inside their aging minds

Taking a chance
At the last dance
Before the end of time

Holding tight to the love
That pulled at the seams
Of their memories

Unsurpassed
By anything
They even dared to dream

She was the first to go
But only by a minute or so
From their shared hospital bed

He kissed her soft
Then came along
In this, their final dance

A band of frogs
In a ***
Of cooking oil
Not yet hot

Turn the heat
Up slowly
Not a single one
Suspects a thing

Before they know
What's going on
You've got a ***
Of boiled toads

If you start the ***
Off real hot
And toss in the toad
Away he'll hop

And the moral to the story is...

Fool you, fool me
With a little heat
Before you know
We're in too deep

Without a thought
Of just how hot
We've found ourselves
In this boiling ***

Where went the good old days
That crazy once upon a time
When I respected your ways
And you let me live mine

Are we only now just finding out
It’s all about having control
No more you do you the way you want to
While you leave me alone

If what I have to say and do
Has nothing new to do with you
Why do you try your best to
Get me to jump through all the hoops

Like this is some sort of circus act
An attempt at slight of hand
We’ll let these fools make up the rules
Until there’s nothing left

Of the Que Sera Sera
What will be will be
When you did you the way you wanted to
And left the rest up to me

You gave me your hand
I gave you mine
We took our fingers
And intertwined
How can something so simple
Simply feel right
As we walk hand in hand
This journey called life

We picked up the pace
About mid-way
Stepped on the gas
Foot off the brakes
As we slid past
The life that we made
Into these golden years
With touches of gray

Comfortable in
Each other’s hand
How ever long, we’re given left
From the first intertwine
Of fingers we had
We knew it was right
The perfect life
Both hand in hand

How many folk you meet
are one step from the street
One paycheck away
from nada in the bank
Today's society
could give a hill of beans
Stuck on the same roundabout
with no one to let you out
Broke Down

Families that are forced
to live out of their cars
Can't afford the gasoline
to keep the running heat
In these times of lean
deemed mean on the streets
Too little too late you find this out
you are the faceless face in the crowd
Broke Down

Another day another find
Confronted by a bold-faced sign
Doors padlocked with no one there
Fine print reads, closed beyond repair
Pay no heed
As strong men weep
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
All around a hurtful sound
Broke Down

I have got this rebel heart
That rebels against the one I love
You'd think I'd try and do what's right
But find that it's a constant fight

I know who's loving hand to hold
But always try to go solo
Running thin in the thick of things
By all accounts, by any means

This rebel heart from the start
Has tried its best to pull apart
Rears its head time and again
Barking back at Gods plans

Knows what's right in the eyes of God
Jumps at the chance to do the opposite
Quick to quote both line and verse
Yet still can steer itself off course

Born into war, this rebel heart
Years of callused battle scars
With talk of surrender along the way
The temptation of sin keeps it in the game

In the moment of truth knows what to do
But in the time of lies does what it wants to
In this heavy handed tug of war
Daily living with this rebel heart

I go out of my way
To help those in need
You may question why
It's the Jesus in me

What else can I do
For who set me free
Than to honor and serve
The Jesus I need

I try best I can
To live in harmony
Though I know that I
Can make Jesus weep

Life is a struggle
Troubles are deep
And that is the case
Why on Jesus I lean

From early to rise
Into late evening
And all points between
I need Jesus in me
