Amstel Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 "I used to think that the day would never come I'd see delight in the shade in the morning sun My morning sun is a drug that brings me near to a childhood I lost replaced by fear" not too obvious Second one- "Exit the warrior today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you and the energy you trade he gets right onto the friction of the day" kind of stereotypical for a Rush fan I guess Last one- "I've been sitting here bout half the night mama fill my cup up I came to waste some time I think I'm gonna jump up" Classic VH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfmeister Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Well I sat down in my closet With all my overalls Trying to get away from All the ears inside my walls That's from American poet songwriter John Prine. Prine writes what I call "real music". If you know what I mean and I think you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 We started living in an old house My ma gave birth and we were checking it out It was a baby boy So we bought him a toy It was a ray gun And it was 1981 We named him "Baby" He had a toothache He started crying It sounded like an earthquake It didn't last long Because I stopped it I grabbed a rag doll And stuck some little pins in it Now we're a family And we're alright now We got some money and a little place To fight now We don't know you And we don't owe you But if you see us around I got something else to show you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 "If I Stand" by the late great Rich Mullins. This song has mostly piano accompaniment (played by Michael W. Smith), with some bass guitar and snare drum thrown in: There's more that rises in the morning Than the sun More that shines in the night Than just the moon There's more than just this fire here That keeps me warm In a shelter that is larger Than this room And there's a loyalty that's deeper Than mere sentiment And a music higher than the songs That I can sing The stuff of earth competes For the allegiance I owe only to the Giver of all good things... Chorus: So if I stand let me stand on the promise That You will pull me through And if I can't let me fall on the grace That first brought me to you And if I sing let me sing for the joy That has born in me these songs But if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home. There's more that dances on the prairies Than the wind More that pulses in the ocean Than the tide There's a love that is fiercer Than the love between friends More gentle than a mother's When her baby's at her side. And there's a loyalty that's deeper Than mere sentiment And a music higher than the songs That I can sing Stuff of earth competes For the allegiance I owe only to the Giver Of all good things. (Chorus *2) And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
