- A Hero Comes Home
Out of the mist of history he’ll come again
Sailing on ships across the sea to a wounded nation
Signs of a savior and fire on the water
It’s what we prayed for, one of our own
Just wait though wide he may roam
Always a hero comes home
He goes where no one has gone
- All of the Above
I am your sexy girl
I am your baby girl
I am your innocence
I am your mother
I'm lady chatterly
Or lady chastity
Or some anonymous lover
- Asleep On the Wind
Love is a glass of wine
Its balanced on a side rail of a ship
Across the sea at midnight, it may not last til' daylight comes
And the trip is long
And the waves are strong
But then again, it might be up there forever
I've heard of birds that never touch the land
But sleep on the wind
- At This Table
At this table, everyone is welcome
At this table, everyone is seen
At this table, everybody matters
No one falls between
At this table, you can say whatever
At this table, you can speak your mind
At this table, everything's forgiven
There's enough for everyone
- Better To Have Loved
Better to have loved
Better to have loved
Ohh, ohh, if the sun went down tomorrow and it never came back
And the city went quiet and we fade to black
Well, I, I won't have a single regret and I wouldn't change a thing
'Cuz I never knew I could feel what I feel inside of me
- Brave
Don't know just where I'm going
And tomorrow, it's a little overwhelming
And the air is cold
And I'm not the same anymore
I've been running in your direction
For to long now
I've lost my own reflection
And I can't look down
- Damsel In Distress
Ooh, you got big muscles rippling
Underneath your shirt
I'm so glad to meet you, baby
Tell me, what do you do for work?
Me? I'm just a housewife
So sad and all alone
Desperate for a strong man
To help me fix my home
- Don't Let Me Down
Where do you go?
When you're alone and in your head
Why do they know you?
Is your story painted in red?
What do you see?
What do you dream when you're awake?
What have they seen of you?
Are you afraid of what's been said?
- Fool Out Of Me
Hey - Just when you think you are the shit
Well, you look down and your fly is unzipped
That's when you take a moment to say,
"Well, sometimes I'm so totally unhip."
Just when the great ones inspire you
To throw caution to the wind
That's when the mirror mirror on the wall says,
"Babe, you better throw your towel in."
- Heart On My Sleeve
She will never be invincible
She will never be some Florence Nightingale
Her thresholds invisible
But shell hang on like hell
Yeah, she may be transparent
Shes got no defenses to speak of
But shell stand here before you with no pride or prejudice
- Hope
This is the story
Of a bird with no wings
But certain that it can fly
Sailing on love
Into the head winds
Forcing it's way by and by
If only we were
- I Feel Everything
Like a prima ballerina
I tip toe, tip toe around you constantly
I hear the water running
Will it wash your tears or leak through the ceiling?
Make my way up a spiral staircase
Hope to God you had a good day
When you're furious
- I Stand
When you asked me, who I am
What is my vision? Do I have a plan?
Where is my strength? Have I nothing to say?
I hear the words in my head but I push them away
As I stand for the power to change
I live for the perfect day
I love till it hurts like crazy
- Let it Go
Snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom pf isolation
And it looks like I'm the queen...
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl ou always have to be
Conseal, don't feel, don't let them know...
- My Own Worst Enemy
In the roses in the spring
I remember, there was a time I wasn't afraid of anything
with the lilacs and the rain one day you went away
I remember, I forgot everything
My mother's always trying to tell me how to be grateful, how to beleive
My father's always trying to say "baby you're beautiful, in everyway"
My lover's always got me in his arms trying to protect me, keep me from harm
- No Day But Today
There's only us, there's only this
Forget regret, or life is your's to miss
No other path, no other way
No day but today
There's only us, only tonight
We must let go to know what's right
No other road, No other way
- Once Upon A Time
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put us back together again.
We huffed and we puffed,
And we blew this house down.
We tried. Yeah, we tried.
The sticks and the stones were breakin my bones,
And the names that were said kinda hurt us.
- Planet Z
Sitting in my easy chair
I got no friends, but I really don't care
I don't remember birthdays, I don't remember names
People talkin' to me, I know not what they say
Well my political policy is laissez fare
You keep off my, my thoroughfare
My weeds grow like roses, my gardens like greed
- Poker Face
I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas, please
Fold 'em, let 'em hit me, raise it, baby stay with me
Love the game, intuition, play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart
Oh uh oh oh oh uh oh oh
I'll get him hot and show him what I got
Oh uh oh oh ho ho
- So Beautiful
Sometimes, I watch you when you're sleeping
I see you're having dreams tonight
And I know just by the way you're breathing
That I'm a vision in your mind
Wherever you may go my love
Wherever you may be
And all that matters in this world
- Still I Can't Be Still
Well, I don't believe in God
But she talks to me all the time
And I banish my mother
But she holds me when I cry
And I have been unfaithful
But with me he'll spend the rest of his life
And I have been forgiven by all
- Straw Into Gold
I wonder if you sleep right now
Do you realize I'm clinging to
The edge of this bed I have
Nowhere to go--I have nowhere
If I leave you'll call me quitter
If I stay you'll punish me with silence and somehow
You'll fall asleep...You'll fall asleep
- The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you, "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings
And gay happy meetings when friends come to call (come to call)
- Think Too Much
Do you think about the moon?
Made you feel real special 'cause it followed you everywhere
Do you think about the sun showers?
The way you like to run naked in them and shampoo your hair
Do you think about why we sneeze in the sun?
Wish my freckles would just leave us alone
Do you think about when you're older
- Tomorrow
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
- You'd Be Surprised
You'd be surprised at all that I've become.
You'd be surprised, I've changed while you've been gone,
And I learned so much more from you than I could ever say.
If you were here, I think that you'd stay...
You'd be surprised how far these arms can reach.
You'd be surprised there's a promise I can keep.
Would you believe that I seldom fall to pieces anymore?
