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,

she loves to rock n' roll

i spent my day on a river bank,
casting out a reel,
something bout a river bank,
yes it makes me feel,

like i aint got no' where,
else id rather be,
but the only im wishing lord, is,
she was right here with me,

ive been broke down, busted,
beaten down and torn,
i spent many day's a wishin',
that i was never born,

but i always found some way to,
get back up again,
some blame it on the whiskey, yeah,
but that cant explain the things i did,
i'd lost touch with my soul,
wouldnt let no body in,

but the devil he hates rock n' roll,
cause that's what set me free,
and the only thing i'm wishing, yeah,
is she was right here with me,

see i found myself a good girl, yeah,
and i ain't gonna let her go,
and the best damn thing about her yeah,
she loves to rock n' roll,

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,

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

i cant promise you long stem roses,
you don't want no diamond rings,

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,

if wishes were ponies, i'd be riding home...

oh lord please forgive me...
for all that I’ve done,
it's a hard life just be' ing...
a carpenter's son,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

wish i was stronger...
wish i could stand,
high on that mountain...
be a better man,

wish i never stumbled...
wish i never fell,
wishes turn tears fall in buckets...
filling my pail,

that i carry on my shoulders...
as i try to fi'i'nd my way,
through this lonely dessert...
just praying for rain,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

oh i know how ive hurt you...
wish i could make it right,
dont think that i have' nt...
cried myself to bed at night,

just because i keep falling...
don't mean i dont care,
but you deserve better...
and i know it aint fair,

for me to keep on asking...
for you to forgive,
the mountains of shame...
of this life I live,

how I wish I could show you…
how much I do care,
oh how much I love you...
for always being there,
wishing on a falling star...
or just wishing on air,

sometimes I just act like...
I ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

Don’t think that I don’t try...
to find a better way,
keep stumbling with vices...
crushed under their weight,

many have tried to...
help burden their share,
but the weight is all i know...
it's my cross to bear,

i guess i am destined...
to ride through this world alone,
ohh if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

they say the salt of the ocean,
it can heal all wounds,
in the end we're drawn to it,
that which time consumes,


maybe it shall take away our sins,
wash our souls clean,
or maybe im dream'ing…
a broken man's dream,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,

wish i was stronger...
wish i could stand,
high on that mountain...
be a better man,

wish i never stumbled...
wish i never fell,
wishes turn tears fall in buckets...
filling my pa'a'a'aaaail,

oh lord please forgive me...
for all that I’ve done,
it's a hard life just be' ing...
a carpenter's son,

sometimes its feels I...
ride through this world alone,
ohhh- if wishes were po'nies...
i'd be riding home,
