Let The Sun Shine, Sunshine
don't even matter
what you did yesterday
sun comin' up
it's another day
turn the page over
your slate is clean
get yourself up
and do it again
look out the window
open the door
let the sun shine, sunshine
look out the window
take it all in
let the sun shine, sunshine
don't mind the heroes
watch 'em and smile
no help from them
in the tight suits file
take your life over
you are the one
do it again
until you get done
no need to wait for a rescue
don't you know that you are the one?
look out the window
open the door
let the sun shine, sunshine
look out the window
take it all in
let the sun shine, sunshine

Not The Same
you can look at me with your eyes
but i'm not the same
not the same as the one you think you see
you can tell me over and over
that i haven't changed
whatever you're seeing
it isn't me
i've put a million miles on this heart of mine
now there's a wreck
where perfection used to be
you tell me
smile
smile
everything is alright
it's alright
when i know most certainly it's not
i can't be the man i used to be
the man you somehow think you've got

Don't Know Why
it's a fine line
searching for my dream time
like a fine wine
time...ages with age
turn the yellowing page
like a wrong one
searching for the right one
just a good one
pain...raises with age
and i'm on the wrong page
if i did it
i could do it a minute
but there's a long line waiting
hold on everyone
gotta stay in line
we're here
but we don't know why
just one of those things
reach out shake a hand
it's near
but we don't know why
just one of those things

Find A Light
if you haven't got a fire burnin' inside you
if you don't know where to look when darkness blinds you
if everywhere you look it's the same old thing
twilight time and the night won't sing
find a light
find a light
if the road you walk is cold and rocky
if gettin' out of bed is the end of talking
if the life you live doesn't mean a thing
don't get the call 'cause the phone won't ring
find a light
find a light
find a light that's out there somewhere
even if you think you're nowhere
change the channel...turn it up
find a light
find a light

We Never Will See That Room Again
lots of time to
think about it
all the days gone down
can't get around it
all the good times
all the sweet times
everything we knew
about me and you
now it's faded
and uprooted
so we've moved along
like people do now
all the stories
we remember
everything we knew
about me and you
(chorus)
and we never will see that room again
we never will know that time again
the endless summer it had to end
and we never will see that room again
i believed you
when you told me
all the secrets you knew
of love and glory
i'd tell you all my
fond aspirations
everything we knew
about me and you
and we never will see that room again
we never will know that time again
the endless summer it had to end
and we never will see that room again
(bridge)
all those memories
still have a meaning
brings a smile
every time i think of them
and we never will see that room again
we never will know that time again
the endless summer it had to end
and we never will see that room again

They Don't Say Forever
they don't say forever
when they get where they go
it's already through
hangin' on to yesterday's hair
as it goes down the drain
they don't stay forever
passing like the damp
of the morning dew
feelin' all of gravity's pain
as the cracks begin to show
you knew them
yes you knew them
or you were one of them
they know you
when they see you
what's to become of them
you hear them
yes you hear them
it's a melancholy pain
they listen for an answer
as they pass you in the rain
it's never lost completely
peeling like the paint
on a tattooed wall
shining like a faded dream
of a feeling that lives on
you knew them
yes you knew them
or you were one of them
they know you
when they see you
what's to become of them
you hear them
yes you hear them
it's a melancholy pain
they listen for an answer
as they pass you in the rain

Just As I Am
i stand before you now
just as i am
whether you do...or don't
give a damn
i will be right here
and i won't stand down
just as i am
i'll be around
i tell it to you now
best that i can
whether you hear...or don't
here i am
i will be right here
and i won't stand down
just as i am
i'll be around
the walls between us may seem strong
but if we bash 'em from both sides
they won't last long
i see you with new eyes
just as you are
whether we're close...or not
it's not too far
you will live your life
and you won't stand down
just as you are
you'll be around

Singin' To The Moon
saw the full moon risin' nice and slow
thought about you, don't know why, you know
must have been that song, on the radio
we would belt that thing out, every night, oh
(CHORUS}
who were we singin' to?
can we still sing at all?
when the sultry sun fell down back then
we were singin' to the moon
i go to places that we used to go
half lookin' for you, on the sly, you know
must have been that song, on the radio
the one we'd be singin' every night, oh
(CHORUS)
who were we singin' to?
can we still sing at all?
when the sultry sun fell down back then
we were singin' to the moon
(BRIDGE)
and the days go by too fast these days
i don't see the nights at all
i was just thinkin' 'bout our crazy ways
you know i just had to call
so i'm drivin' 'round with the radio
blastin' it out, cruisin' down the road
then here comes that song, that we both know
and i started screamin' it out, oh
(CHORUS)
who were we singin' to?
can we still sing at all?
when the sultry sun fell down back then
we were singin' to the moon
(2000 d.b. michel)
This is about memories of teenage nights spent cruising around the countryside with my friends...Singing along with the radio...
thought about you, don't know why, you know

Dizzy Dean
i was lost in another dream
where i could pitch like Dizzy Dean
i could throw that ball so hard
in the ballpark in my yard
nothing like a summer's day
to make your troubles fade away
living in my childhood dream
and i could pitch like Dizzy Dean

Counting The Stars
it could be better than it is
but then it could be worse
the best laid plans fall victim
to the disaster unrehearsed
i look for absolution
from the failures i have lived
although others have forgiven me
i don't dare myself forgive
i sit here in the silence
and i take in all i've seen
misty breaths of memory
take me everywhere i've been
all of this means something
i know it must be true
'cause i don't feel regret now
if i should think of you
Counting the stars
in my mind tonight
i remember the times
when they would shine so bright
Counting my dreams
in my mind tonight
i remember sweet times
when love just felt so right...
makes me smile

The Year Of The Nine
looking at people
i once used to know
they used to know me
i just let it all go
i couldn't hang on to
whatever i lost
just passing the days
counting the cost
some may have wondered
where have i been?
i used to be here a lot back then
i remember the days
i remember the times
then i lost my way in the year of the nine
i had a dream
guess i had quite a few
but the dream was obscured
so it's long overdue
what's left of my voice
still wants to sing
but time passed me by
i don't sing anything
some may have wondered
where have i been?
i used to be here a lot back then
i remember the days
i remember the times
then i lost my way in the year of the nine
my greatest weakness
is my greatest strength
i don't know how to give up
when the quittin' bell rings
i still see the world
in the back of my heart
just like it was then
just a pure as the start
some may have wondered
where have i been?
i used to be here a lot back then
i remember the days
i remember the times

Someday, Someone
you can cry if you want to
but in the end
no one can win this battle but you
you can lie to the world
and be it's friend
or you can turn back the lies and reveal the truth
someday
someone
will matter enough
and you'll say it
sometime
when the feeling is right
someday
someone
will see see through your pain
and embrace you
sometime
you'll be seeing the light
you can live in the darkness
that holds you still
no one can free this prisoner but you
you can sing to yourself
but you never will
or you can sing to the world and let the dream come true
someday
someone
will matter enough
and you'll say it
sometime
when the feeling is right
someday
someone
will see see through your pain

Who Out There?
days...and days and nights rise and fall
years pass you by
and still no one...to stand beside you
tears...and all the pain makes them run
years come and go
and still no one...to stand beside you
(chorus)
who out there... gonna be the one to love you?
who out there...gonna step inside?
and walk into your heart
who out there...gonna be the one to listen?
who out there...gonna take the time?
and be the one to care
faith...and hopes and dreams leave you cold
your heart's runnin' dry
and still no one...to stand beside you
life...just another fast runnin' train
you hear the sound
and still no one...to stand beside you
(chorus)
who out there...gonna be the one to love you?
who out there...gonna step inside?
and walk into your heart
who out there...gonna be the one to listen?
who out there...gonna take the time?
and be the one to care
(bridge)
all this emptiness...a vacuum deep as space
when all you ever wanted...was played back...then erased
(chorus)

and walk into your heart
