You Can Do It

“You Can Do It”
You can do it
You can make it through it
Even though you might wonder why
There is something inside you
And it's walking beside you
And it is larger than yourself
Ch: And it's whispering your name
And it's wiping your eyes
And it's touching your soul
To set you free
You are unique to this world
You need to let your flag be unfurled
To be who you are and that is all
The sun has sprouted your seed
The warmth has lifted your head
And now you know what you know
And that is all Ch:

I Can't Draw A Circle

“I Can’t Draw A Circle”
I can’t draw a circle
I can hardly sing in tune
I can’t write a novel
But I can do what I can do
I might never reach the stars
Is there really any reason to
The best thing
Is enjoying what you do
Ch: And I’m singin’ day by day
A new moment is just a moment away
If I had one gift to give
I’d give you this moment to fully live
Well, I’m no farmer
But I plant my seeds
Some come up
And some I’ll never see
Though you wonder why
Why I waste my time
Is there something on your mind
That you ain’t sayin’ Ch:

Remember It All

“Remember It All”
When the leaves begin to turn
And the petals start to fall
Stop! And remember it all
Remember the joy of spring
Recall summer and the love she brings
It’s fall now, stop and remember it all
Ch: Remember and don’t forget
Your love is what you live
Love (Live) and remember it all
Old, young or in between
Remember where you’ve been
Ah, remember it all
Remember when you were lost
Recall what brought you back
Ah, remember it all Ch:
Remember what made you sing
The tunes that let you smile within
Oh, remember it all
And if your memories start to dim
Smile and it’ll all kick in
And you’ll remember it all

“I Don’t Know What Else To Say”
I don’t complain about the weather
‘Cause the weather she doesn’t hear
And I don’t dream of heaven
‘Cause my dreams live right here
Ch: And I don’t know what else to say
So I will sing with you everyday
Whatever I chose to do
I give it honestly to you
Don’t wanna know what can’t be done
You say that I’m the only one
But if you look within your heart
Then God bless you you’ve got a start Ch:
And if you ever have a doubt
Just take a good look about
The ones that truly smile and give
Are the only ones that truly live Ch:

“Somewhere, Someway, Someday, Somehow”
Some folks move to Hollywood
And some folks run off to the woods
Some folks might not seem to have a clue
But some folks are just me and you
Ch: Somewhere, someway, someday, somehow
Things will ring clearer than they do right now
Sometimes it’s funny how it works
Sometimes you’re last and sometimes first
Sometimes our egos block the way
And sometimes we could sing all day Ch:
When your song has become a drone
And at the parties you’re still all alone
When it seems to all fall to pieces
Though quiet the music never really ceases Ch:

Seize the Moment

|
“Seize The Moment”
Ch: Hear the music
Feel the beeze
Seize the moment
And the moment will set you free
Don’t ask for all the answers
Just read the signs
And pay attention
And your answers will come in time Ch:
Refrain: And don’t you hear your spirit’s call
To bring you back when you are lost Ch:
No wall can hold you back
Except the wall within
Take a good look
And it will all cave in Ch:

“Do You Know Where Your Love Is?”
Ch:Have you heard the singing?
Do you hear the sound?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you, do you, do you, do ya know?
Do you know what you’re wanting?
Have you any thought at all?
Do you know what you’re doing?
Do you, do you, do you, do ya know?
Do you know why you are crying?
Can you taste the sea?
Does it feel as if you’re drowning
As you’re reaching, but it’s just out of reach
And I’m singing for you
It’s the best thing that I can do
As I’m searching and digging and reaching myself
I can certainly help you to help yourself Ch:

Just Make Me Laugh

|
“Just Make Me Laugh”
Well, make me laugh that’s all I wanna do
Don’t make me think, I’ll leave it up to you
Ch: Don’t make me think. Just make me laugh
That’s all I wanna do
I guess it’s one way to live a life
If it doesn’t work,
There’s always the after life Ch:
Break: I had me a thought
And it gave me a headache
If I think anymore,
I might make me a mistake Ch:

I Enjoy Riding My Bike

“I Enjoy Ridin’ My Bike”
Ch: I enjoy riding my bike
And when I’m ridin’ everything seems alright
Don’t have to worry ‘bout the gas for my bike
No pollution if we run out I guess
I’ll still make out alright Ch:
The world could do with a few less cars
And the world could do with a few less bars
And then maybe it wouldn’t be so hard
To ride my bike Ch:
I used to worry about the rain
But now I just find a dry seat
And watch it rain Ch:
To sit and pedal on two wheels
May appear ancient
But I finally found myself something
To teach me patience Ch:

“Real Change”
Ch: Real, Real Change
Don’t wanna see just the styles changed
It’s just the furniture rearranged
It’s been this way for oh, so long
I want real change Ch:
Don’t want to hear the words changing
Groovy, hip, man and fly just to name some
I wanna hear our minds rearranging
I want real change Ch:
Can’t pretend what you want from me
Can’t afford to lose what I know is me
I guess it’s all inside of me
If I want real change Ch:

“This Is It”
This is it, so please don’t miss it
This is it, and nothing more
This is it, to know your sorrow
Will reveal a greater joy
Ch: This is it; if you want it
This is it; there’s nothing else
This is it; please take it
This is it; before you’re gone
It’s your life; so be kind to it
It’s your life; put your mind to it
If you live for tomorrow
You don’t live at all

“I’m With You”
Ch: I’m with you All the way
I’m with you Come what may
I’m with you
When I wake you in the night
(You can’t miss it)
I’m with you when my thoughts
Seem off in flight Ch:
I’m with you
When I’m tired and out of sorts
(Don’t remind me)
I’m with you
When I spill crumbs right on the floor Ch:
Break: I’m with you, I’m with you,
I’m with you, Come what may Ch:
I’m with you
When I seem off on my own
I’m with you
That’s how I write these songs Ch:

If I Could Only

“If I Could Only”
If I could only have a million dollars
You know I would have no problems
If I could become a rock and roll star
I could have all the groupies I wanted
Ch: If I could only, if I could only
If I could only, if I could only
If I could only have a million dollars
My life would be so fine
If I could only eat when I was hungry
I probably wouldn’t be so fat
All the little women would love me
Yes, I know that’s a fact Ch:
If I could only find a good woman
You know I’d stay right by her side
Wouldn’t look at any Jane, Pris or Mary
And you know that’s no lie Ch:

When the Walls Fall

|
“When The Walls Fall”
When the march begins
And the trumpets are heard
The people will shout
And the walls will fall
Ch: When the walls fall, when the walls fall
Sing (dance) with all the joy in your heart
When the comrades on the wall
Raise their hammers to strike
The people will dance and sing
Until the walls crumble in Ch:
When the love has left their eyes
And your lovers ceased to be
Give voice there may be a key
Maybe these walls don’t need to be Ch:

No Big Words Here

|
“No Big Words Here”
We sing about love
And we pray for love
Search in the hay for love
What we wouldn’t give to know Your love
Chorus: Take your time
Close your eyes
And you will know your love
As we stroke our pride
On this lonely, lonely ride
We think we’ve filled our every need
Ah, but love whispers from the wings Ch:
Well, no big words here
The simpler the clearer
It just takes an honest heart
To know to sing of love is just the start
Repeat Last Verse:

“I’m Only Doing What Keeps Me Doing”
I’ll paint my picture, I’ll sing my song,
I’ll play my music, until I’m gone
Ch: I’m only doing what keeps me doing
I’ll ride my bike, I’ll take my time,
I’ll look both ways and then rest my mind Ch:
You may do what they’ve always done
You may sing like they’ve always sung
You might do like everyone
If you don’t start doing what keeps you doing
You’ll soon be gone
I’ll laugh with you, hope you laugh too
I’ll cry when I need to,
That’s what I want to do Ch:
I’ll make love to you while I’m here.
Sometimes, it may be in bed
But mostly out here Ch:

“It’s Only A Movie”
It’s only a movie
Flashing in our eyes
It’s only a movie
And we laughed until we cried
Ch: What have we done
Where have we gone
What have we sung
When the day is done
It’s only a movie
And they’re not really dead
It’s only a movie
And they still have their heads
(Well, it’s only in your head) Ch:
Refrain: In the movies it’s all play
In the movies anything’s okay
Put it in a movie they’ll pay
When they see someone that they love
Bleedin’ up on the screen Ch:

“Thirty Long Years and More”
I was twelve the Beatles were hot
We’d sing their songs
They’d say Dave you got to stop
But I’ve been singin’ 30 long years and more
And they stopped singin’ a-long time ago
But I’m still singin’ got plenty more to go
I’m still singin’ 30 long years and more
Refrain: If anyone should tell
You to stop singin’ your song
Just ask them to move it on along
And you’ll be singin’
30 long years and more
Well, they might throw you the ugliest look
Strut right off with their nose stuck up
But you’ll be singin’ 30 long years and more
Don’t know where this song is taking me to
But I know what this singin’
Has brought me through
And I been singin’ 30 long years and more
Always be true to your song
And you’ll always be where you belong
And you’ll be singin’ 30 long years and more

“Give’m What They Want”
Give’m what they want
Give’m what they want
Give’m what they want
But they don’t know what
Give them their sitcoms
Give them MTV
Give them their religion
There’s nothing more to believe Ch:
Give me X on the internet
Give me X on TV
Make my movies a bloody mess
Now you know I’m in Xtasy Ch:
Give them shiny red cars
Golden chains that rattle
Well, don’t just lie there
They’re all just pacifiers Ch:
Get what you want
Don’t let them feed you
Get what you want
You know you’re gonna need them
Get up and find them
Go out and get them

“Life’s The River, Love’s The Sea”
I feel so good, I could almost cry
I feel so good, but I don’t know why
When I sing with you, I feel so fine
Life and music just sway along in time
It may rain and it may snow
You may lose your youth,
But don’t lose your hope
For life is hope and love’s the dream
Life’s the river and love’s the sea
