why won't you talk to me....

The memories sit so clearly,
In my mind of yesterday's,
Captured is every detail,
My mind won't let slip away,

From the moment that my eyes caught yours,
My first glimpse of that pretty smile,
My heart stopped right in its tracks,
And it took quite a while,

Until I could work up the nerve,
To go and ask your name,
And since that magic moment,
It's never quite been the same,

But now it's seems we have drifted,
And why I just don't see,
Ohhh Rachel why won't you talk to me...

Can't you remember the way it felt,
The way our hearts just seemed to melt,
As we sat there on that old boat dock,
Watching the stars glistening in the dark,
Talking about how there's so much in the world
that people just never see,
ohhh, Rachel why won't you talk to me...

With moments that just felt so right,
woke up parts of my soul that had been trapped inside,
laying there on that star lit night,
I can't remember the last time my heart ever felt so free,
Ohhh, Rachel why won't you talk to me...

I don't know what I did
could it have been so wrong,
But now I'm sitting here
feeling so alone,

If you could just give me.. some kind of sign,
Telling me how .. I could make it right,
Don't make me spend.. another restless night,
Trying to figure out what it could be,
Ohhh Rachel, why won't you talk to me,

someone must have done you so wrong,
Left afraid to let anyone get close,
I just wish that you would give me a chance,
Don't let those bad memories deny a romance,

That might be enough to help to battered souls,
Find a glimmering light to help lead them home,
And that might just be enough to set them free,
Ohhh, Rachel, why won't you talk to me....
Ohhh-ohhhh, Rachel, why won't you talk to me...
..

the healing gonna start

a’ nother day has come to end,
sifting sand out of my boots,
a’ nother night I’m gonna spen’nnd,
sleeping in this camo suite,

last week i lost my best friend,
now i lay here wishing it was me,
when's all this violence gonna en’nnnd,
somebody won’t you tell me ple’eeease,

i came here fighting for a reason,
one that's now so hard to find,
all this blood that has been shed,
it doesn’t know no battle lines,

yeahh-ehhh-ehhh-aaaaahhhh,

it just stains the ground,
with every soldiers tear,
and somewhere in the silence,
you can hear a whisper clear,

it saying ohh-aahhh,

that there ain’t no peace that comes from war,
there ain’t no love that comes from hate,
a million stones we gonna ca’aaaast,
still ain’t nothing gonna cha'aaa'nge,

when we can lay down our pri’iiide,
and we can open up our hearts,
yes when that sweet day comes,
ohhh-ooohh-ohhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh,
that’s when the healing gonna star'arrr't,


i held onto my mother's hand,
as we heard that gavel fall,
and i held back the te’eears,
as they lead me down that hall,

i told myself that it was justice,
blood for blood was only right,
but as i saw the tears fall from his mother’s eyes,
that was such an awful sight,

now I’m begging for forgiveness,
asking lord wont you save my soul,
as soon the needle they'll put in,
and it will be my time to go,

i set out search’innnng for redemption,
now that seems so hard to find,
all this blood that has been shed,
it don’t know no battle lines,

yeahh-ehhh-ehhh-aaaaahhhh,

it just stains the ground,
with every soldiers tear,
and somewhere in the silence,
you can hear a whisper clear,

it saying ohh-aahhh,

that there ain’t no peace that comes from war,
there ain’t no love that comes from hate,
a million stones we gonna ca’aaaast,
still ain’t nothing gonna cha'aaa'nge,

when we can lay down our pri’iiide,
and we can open up our hearts,
yes when that sweet day comes,
ohhh-ooohh-ohhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh-ahhh,
that’s when the healing gonna star'arrr't,

that i was never born,

and i ain't gonna let her go,
and the best damn thing about her yeah,

let's not talk about forever...

let's not talk about forever,
let's not fret on yesterday,
those are just make believe stories to distract us from today,
let's not search for four leaf clovers,
let's not wish on falling stars,
let's just learn to love this moment right here where we are,

you see me and you baby,
we wern't met for finer things,
i cant promise you long stem roses,
you don't want no diamond rings,

all i can give you is this moment,
right here in this time,
and i cant think of anything better,
than your lips touching mine,

let's take a journey far away from,
this place full of doubt and fear,
let's get lost within each other,
where things can seem so clear,

dont go looking for no reason,
don't go searching for no rhyme,
let's just let go of inhibitions,
put your hand here in mine,

let's not talk about forever,
let's not fret on yesterday,
those are just make believe stories to distract us from today,
let's not search for four leaf clovers,
let's not wish on falling stars,
let's just learn to love this moment right here where we are,

come on now darling,
don't let this moment go away,
i can feel your body pulsing,
that's all i need to say,

you see me and you baby,
we wern't met for finer things,
i cant promise you long stem roses,
you don't want no diamond rings,

all i can give you is this moment,
right here in this time,
and i cant think of anything better,
than your lips touching mine,

dont go looking for no reason,
don't go searching for no rhyme,

let's not wish on falling stars,
let's just learn to love this moment right here where we are,

perspective...

Reality is just a vision, that we each chose to see,
in the end we are all given, our own mystery,
somewhere through the darkness, we all see a light,
and sometimes we just follow, and sometimes we must fight,

in the end where we end up, aint much father than where we've been,
but the beauty is being strong enough, to see it all again...

set my spirit free....

if i die tomorrow...
don't even bother burying me,
just throw my body out to the crowes...
and let'em pick it clean,

cause thats not me...
not flesh and bone,
set my spirit free...
when my body's gone,

yeah set my spirit free...
set my spirit free,
free to roam across this land...
and see what it can see,
on it's way home,
oh it's a long way home...
it's a long way home,

yeah i'm going home,
far far away,
to a place where dreams are free to chase...
and souls are free to dream,
and we're free to be
set my spirit free,
set my spirit free,

If I die tomorrow...
don't you shed no tears for me,
well maybe go ahead and shed one or two...
hell maybe even three,

as long as you know...
I'm in a better place,
and perhaps maybe you and I...
will meet again some day,

in a place...
far far away,
to a place where dreams are free to chase...
and souls are free to dream,
and we're free to be
set my spirit free,
set my spirit free,


yeah set my spirit free...
set my spirit free,
free to roam across this land...
and see what it can see,
on it's way home,
oh it's a long way home...
it's a long way home,

and it's a better place,
far far away,
to a place where dreams are free to chase...
and souls are free to dream,
and we're free to be
set my spirit free,
set my spirit free,
