NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN V1 Another day arises, no different than the last You want much more than life so far has shown Struggling with the present, still dealing with the past Looking for a way to make your presence known BRIDGE 1 Don't be blinded by the light of those so far above you Or discouraged by the ones who cannot see That only you can bring the world the spark of what's inside you And that spark will light the way to victory CHORUS There's a path that's laid out before us A place that we've never been Our story's just begun There's a race to be won & I'm never going back again! V2 Pushing through the trenches, another day has dawned No closer to the place you wanna be But have faith in the future you envision in your soul You can arrive anywhere your mind can see BRIDGE 2 And you know that only you can do the what must be done To bring yourself to appointed destiny And only you can bring the world the spark of what's inside you And that spark will light the way to victory REPEAT CHORUS SOLO REPEAT CHORUS

V1 If you feel like you're stuck in your day to day grind // Here's some advice that'll free your mind // Sometimes you gotta go & just let loose // Just have a little fun any way you choose BRIDGE 1 There's nothing wrong with responsibility // But every now and then you gotta get yourself free CHORUS 1 (Go on) You gotta free your spirit and let the world hear it (It's time) You gotta free your mind and leave it all behind // Free your mind and leave it all behind V2 When it's time to go to work you gotta get your work done // But after that it's time to have a little fun // If you're lovin' life you've gotta let it show // Celebrate & let the world know BRIDGE 2 That troubled times aren't gonna keep you down // C'mon & get up & let's ROCK THIS TOWN!! CHORUS 2 (Go on) You gotta free your spirit and let the world hear it (It's time) You gotta free your mind and leave it all behind (Go on) You gotta love life so C'mon & let it go (It's time) You gotta free your spirit & let the world hear it // Free your spirit & let the world hear it SOLO V3 There's alot of things in life that can bring you down // So every chance you get you gotta spread the love around // The worst of life ain't gonna get the best of you // Take the best of life & make it what you do BRIDGE 3 When the hardest times start to come around // Don't let them get you down make a happy sound CHORUS 3 (Go on) You gotta free your spirit and let the world hear it (It's time) You gotta love life so C'mon & let it go (Go on) You gotta free your spirit and let the world hear it (It's time) You gotta leave no doubt come on get up & shout // Leave no doubt come one get up & shout // Leave no doubt come on get up & SHOUT IT OUT!!

CHORUS Come on & spend some time with me //Just take a chance & you will see //You said it once & I agree //That we could be so good together //You said “I think” but I think I know //No need to stop when it’s time to go //Cuz when it’s right you will surely know //That we could be so good together V1 I think it’s time we spent some time together //We once were close I don’t want those ties to sever //I don’t know why but it seems it’s now or never //Time after time I’ve seen it stop on a dime //When we’re together it feels so right to me //& it’s as plain as black & white to me //Truth isn’t always what you think you see //Gotta realize what’s right before your eyes REPEAT CHORUS //SOLO //V2 You can search the world to find another //Spend all your time & love just to discover //There ain’t no other like your true lover //You’re just gonna find that I was here all the time //So what will it take to spend some time together //We were so close I don’t want those ties to sever //I don’t know why but it seems It’s now or never //Try it & see that all you need is me REPEAT CHORUS

V1 She’s a beautiful girl //She’s a very pretty girl //& I don’t know why I never talked to her before that day //When she stole my heart away //I just kinda thought she was just another one who would play her games & break your heart before she’s done with U //Like so many others do BRIDGE 1 I had told my friend I couldn’t stand the girl //I told my buddy she was no good //But when I found out what she was all about //I realized I had just misunderstood her way //That’s when he heard me say CHORUS I’ll tell ya later //Just why I hate her 'cuz I think that I love her right now //& I just can’t dis' her //When I wanna kiss her & I really wanna kiss her right now //So I’ll Tell Ya Later V2 She’s an interesting girl //She’s a very lovely girl //& I can’t see why she’d ever wanna give her heart to me //Yeah, but I can still dream //She’s the prettiest girl in the whole wide world //& I just assumed that I knew exactly how she would be //But life’s not always what it seems REPEAT BRIDGE & CHORUS

It's Love 03:42
V1 Why would you make all your money, then give it all away? Why would you give all your time, every single day? Why would you hang on every word, every little thing they say?

CHORUS It's Love //& we need it so much //It's Love //Just a tender touch //It's Love //We never get enough //The love we have for a son, daughter, husband, or wife //It may not make alot of sense, but it brings so much meaning to life V2 Now if you hear this song & understand what I say //You gotta live out this love every single day //You gotta take what you feel & learn to give it all away //'Cuz if you harden your heart the world becomes cold & you'll just grow bitter as you're growing old //& you will never know the joy of life that so many hold CHORUS 2 It's Love //Don't let it pass you by //It's Love //Make sure you give it a try //It's love //It'll keep you alive //The love we have for a son, daughter, husband, or wife //It's really all we have & it brings so much meaning to life SOLO // CHORUS 3 It's Love //& we need it so //It's Love //Don't ever let it go //It's Love //You gotts let it show //The love we have for a son, daughter, husband, or wife //It's what we're all about, & it brings so much meaning to life REPEAT CHORUS 1 & FADE OUT

V1 Oh my life it seems so big to me //But I’m only one voice in a raging sea //& I drown in the depths of my obscurity //all alone //There are times I feel so overcome //I gotta make my mark before my life is done //But I’m so preoccupied with havin’ fun //But I don’t //Well the time, it all goes by so fast //& when you get something good you can’t make it last //Although you try & try it will always pass away //And then suddenly it all came & went //& all your hard work never seemed to make a dent //& it all makes me feel so insignificant today (& no I’m not OK CHORUS 1 But I //I’m gonna do the best I can try //You know, maybe I can learn to fly so high into the sky (sky) //& You //You gotta try the best you can do //You know, maybe you can learn to fly too //So much higher than you ever knew (ever knew) V2 Oh sometimes I feel so far away from the life that’s supposedly mine today //& I don’t know what I should do or say half the time //When my life isn’t quite what it should be //& the person I am isn’t really me //& the things I foresaw aren’t the things I see //Am I blind? //& I see opportunity pass me by //& I can’t take advantage even when I try //& sometimes all I do is break down and cry //All alone //And when I think of the way my life should be //& how I strive to reach all of humanity //But I’m only one voice in a raging sea //Whoa–oh–whoa (Sometimes I just don’t know) CHORUS 2 But I //I’m gonna do the best I can try //You know, maybe I can learn to fly //So high into the sky (sky) & You //You gotta try the best you can do //You know, maybe you can learn to fly too //So much higher than you ever knew (ever knew) //And we //We are all we can see //But there is one who holds the key //He’s the keeper of eternity (He loves you & me)

Redemption 05:39
V1 I walk along the lonely streets at night when everything is very still //Sometimes my mind starts racing at the sight of a dark & empty window sill //I see the moon, the stars, the autumn sky //I feel the wind upon my face //I see the memories of all my time & choose the ones I will embrace BRIDGE & I feel like a victim of my life gone by // & I feel like a victim of this night //The night breeze is singing me a lullaby but something in the air just isn't right CHORUS & I feel the presence of all the world, yeah, but I know just who I am //& I feel desire to be a better man //& I know this feeling inside of me is one I must embrace /cuz I know I can make this world a better place V2 I think about the things I used to do //About the way it used to be //I think about the people that I loved //& about the ones who hated me //I feel regret about the time I lost //& love I've let just slip away //I never knew just how much it would cost //& I can't waste another day BRIDGE 2 & I feel the weight of my life gone by as I'm walking through this dark & lonely night //But I know I can find the purpose if I try //& I know redemption's within sight REPEAT CHORUS 1 //CHORUS 2 & I feel the presence of all the world, yeah, but I know just who I am //& I feel desire to be a better man //& I know I regret inside of me will disappear without a trace //cuz I know I can make this world a better place
