Dear God
Dear God
I hat to be a bother, but I gotta say
This world is getting crazier with every day
I hope You'll hear me out now as I stop and pray

Dear God
People take Your words and try to twist 'em round
I know You can't be happy with what's goin' down
I'm searchin' for some answers, but they can't be found
Can You help me out, dear God

Dear God,
Just the other night I heard somebody say
What's the use believin' in You anyway
I guess it was just heartache talkin' through the pain
It's a cryin' shame

Dear God,
I know You're disappointed in the things we've done
Can't they see the truth that they're all running from
Try to preach You message with a loaded gun
What they thinkin' of, Dear God

Everybody's searching for an easy solution
They can't see beyond, the selfish world they're living in
Your words of love get lost, in all the confusion
But I still believe, someday You're gonna speak to me

Dear God,
I know You've got a million other calls to take
You're dealing with a lot of things that just won't wait
But there is one request that I just gotta make

Dear God
Won't You send a sign down, just to ease my doubt
I'm trying to hear You, but the silence is so loud
I think I see a rainbow from behind the clouds
And I hear You now, dear God

Hey We're Gonna Be Alright
Isn't it strange
Ain't it a shame
People walking down broadway
Begging for change
We just walk by
Don't hear that they're crying
We just keep on typing on our two ways
Oblivious to other people's pain

Gotta open up our eyes
Gotta read between the lines
Gotta listen to the sound

Cuz this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey we're gonna be alright
we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright yea
Woo
Hey hey hey

You feel so alone
Your problems at home
They always seem to follow you wherever you go
Caught in a daze
You wish you could change
But you always tell yourself
That hopes seems a million miles aways

Gotta wake up from your sleep
Gotta stay awake to dream
Gotta open your heart and believe
Oh

Cuz this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life
You only get one shot
So give thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey we're gonna be alright
Hey we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright yea
Hey hey hey

One two three yea
It's a roller coaster life
Up and down and side to side
Just shout to get it right

Cuz this is life
It's harder than it looks
You never get enough
The time
Keeps flying
In life you only get one shot
So gives thanks for what you've got right now
Don't you worry
Hey we're gonna be alright
Hey we're gonna be alright
Gonna be alright yea
Hey hey hey
Woo
Ha!

Appreciate
There’s a man dying on the side of the road
Won't make it home tonight
He was driving fast on his cell phone
That’s how he lived his life
And while he was hangin' by a thread
these were the final words he said

[Chorus]
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
She’s beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes
But I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed a chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate


There’s a women crying on the kitchen floor
She got a call tonight
Now she’s trembling outside her daughter’s door
Walks in and holds her tight
Wondering how and where to start
Is there a way to shield her heart?

[Chorus]
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
She’s beautiful, so beautiful
It might get rough sometimes but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed the chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and Appreciate

Any but a loving way
get hurt along the way
Don't be afraid to open up
And use the time you have before it fades
Show your love today

[Chorus]
My girl turns sweet sixteen today
She’s beautiful, so beautiful
it might get rough sometimes
but I hope she keeps her faith.(hope she keeps her faith)
I wish I grabbed
chance to say to her
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate
Life is too short so take the time and appreciate.

Higher Love
Think about it
there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it
Life is wasted time
Look inside you're heart and I'll look inside of mine

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world what is fair?
We walk the line and we try to see
Fallen behind what could be?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

The worlds turning
and we're just hanging on
Facing out fear
standing out there alone
Yearning, and its real to me
Must be someone
who's feeling for me

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world what is fair?
We walk the line and we try to see
Fallen behind what could be?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
I've got higher love, higher love

I will wait, forever
I'm not too late for bed
Until then I'll sing my song
To spend the night alone

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I've been thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of

Bring me a higher love (Bring me a higher love)
Bring me a higher love (Whoo!)
Bring me a higher love (Bring me a higher love)
Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love

Joy to the World
Every year at Christmas
All I can see
Are pictures of the things I want
Around the tree
But this year's a little different
I'm not thinking of myself
So my prayer for this Christmas
Is for somebody else

[Chorus]
So I pray
Joy To the World
Peace for every boy and girl
Hope when life is hard
Light when everything seems dark

God I know you're listening
And you can hear
The need of every broken heart
And all their tears
I don't have a lot to offer
Just this one simple prayer
That this Christmas everyone would know
Somebody cares

[Chorus]
So I pray
Joy To the World
Peace for every boy and girl
Hope when life is hard
Light when everything seems dark

I pray that every hungry soul
Will be filled and will be warm
That not a single, solitary child
Would suffer harm

And Lord we find their ending
As we take another view
My hope is that this Christmas prayer
Would somehow come true

I pray
Humanity would rise
And join with me
And together we'll sing

Joy To the World (To all the world)
Peace (Peace)
for every boy and girl (for every boy and girl)
(Talking bout hope) Hope when life is hard (when life is hard)
Light when everything seems dark

I pray that (I pray) every hungry soul
Will be filled and will be warm
(Not a single child) That not a single solitary child
Would suffer harm

And Lord we find their ending
As we take another view
My hope is that this Christmas prayer
Would somehow come true

Joy To the World
Peace for every boy and girl

Wrong Again
Wrong again
Father, I hate to tell you this
You taught me how to hit the mark
And once again I missed

Touch the fire
You always said that I'd get burned
Why is it so hard
To remember all the lessons I have learned

[Chorus]
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love, you tell the world
This child is mine
How can you walk that extra mile
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again

Once again
Lord, I have wandered from your path
Thought I knew a better way
Coming short of what you've asked
Standing here
I don't deserve a second chance
And I can't conceal
The shame I feel
It's more than I can stand

[Chorus]
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love, you tell the world
This child is mine
How can you walk that extra mile
I see forgiveness in your smile
So sure you'd desert me
Wrong again

When I look into your face
And see the power of your grace
I find it so hard to believe
Forgiveness that your showing me
I see the answer in your eyes
Love and mercy realized
And finally your truth has set me free

[Chorus]
How can you look at me that way
When I have failed so many times
Showing me love, you tell the world
This child is mine
How can you walk that extra mile
I see forgiveness in your smile

I thought you would scold me
Instead you just hold me
Thought you would judge me
Instead you just love me
So sure you'd reject me
Wrong again
