You can’t do dinner, can’t do a show Now with social distancing you can’t go Your family’s separated, it’s out of your control It’s government mandated, it try’s your soul Gotta pay your dues, got the Quarantine Blues Fear and isolation, will wear you down All your fun and games have all left town Everything’s in lockdown, wash your face and hands Pray to the Lord above to heal our land

Lonnie was lost, he couldn’t find his way home Lonnie wants out, he wants to be on his own Hard times and trouble were his only friends No matter how he tried he could not make amends He slowed it down, turned it around, began to pray When times are tough you stand up and say You can’t run, you can’t hide You catch the wind, to stay alive Kristen was kool, she was the leader of the pack She hit the road, she thought she’d never look back Trouble followed her just the same It was something she could not explain Objects are closer than they may appear She saw it coming in her rear view mirror
3.
Long ago, far away, hear the echo roar Shattered dreams behind the scenes That all but close the door Remembering, the reckoning of days gone by Telling all, heed the call and curse the lie The hope you bring is happening And pray that the sun will rise Behind the shade, of barricades Lost in the underground The hand of fate, beyond the gate Pulls the curtain down They contravene, your hopes and dreams for evermore But never fear your hope is near and at the door The love you bring, is happening And look for the sun to shine
4.
How do you sleep at night, you traded in your human rights Some things never seem to change Even when you take the stand, and even when you raise your hand Some things never seem to change, seem to change It’s alright, even in the darkest night Your ok, your as safe as yesterday It’s something that you overheard, and now you give your solemn word Some things never seem to change You can write a tell all book, and no one gives a second look Some things never seem to change, never change It’s alright, even in the darkest night Your ok, your as safe as yesterday Even when your testifying, and everybody knows your lying Some things never seem to change You look the camera in the eye, and smile while your spreading lies Some things never seem to change, seem to change It’s alright, even in the darkest night Your ok, your as safe as yesterday
5.
Time after time you refuse to take my call, there’s no reply All I had to do was read the writing on the wall, it made me cry Won’t you come back, won’t you come back to me Won’t you come back, won’t you come back to me One by one my letters come back tattered and torn, it makes me cry You are here today but tomorrow may be gone, don’t say goodbye Oh, the pain is never ending, oh, the love we shared is gone And the tears got in the way as I watched you walk away From my arms, into the night, from my sight
6.
Never saw the Taj Mahal, C’est La Vie Don’t know if it’s there at all, C’est La Vie But I saw you the other night, looking good and looking tight If the sun refused to shine, C’est La Vie There’s still a chance you could be mine, C’est La Vie And if your world is turned around, don’t you let it get you down When you need someone to count on, count on me And if you need someone to lean on, lean on me And if you need a smile to shine on, shine on me And if you need a shoulder to cry on, cry on me, C’est La Vie

Treat her right, if you ever want to see her again Hold on tight, cuz you never want to lose a friend You don’t have to go, wish that you would stay Every time you leave, something dies in me Inside out, it’s beyond a shadow of a doubt Outside in, come on and let’s do it again You don’t have to go, wish that you would stay Every time you leave, something dies in me Oh, put your little hand in mine ( it’s alright ) If you think it’s time, reach out and give me a sign (Tonight tonight). Treat her right, if you ever want to see her again Hold on tight, cuz you never want to lose a friend Inside out, it’s beyond a shadow of a doubt Outside in, come on let’s do it again Come on let’s do it again
8.
Honey can’t I make you see, just how much you mean to me We could make it right, if you only believe She left without so much as a glance, won’t you give me one more chance I can’t conceive, what’s happened to me Get back, get back, get back home, Come back to your daddy’s farm Don’t say, don’t say, don’t say no, Come back to your daddy’s arms I hope I don’t break my neck, your making me a physical wreck Breaking my heart, that’s what the doctor said And if it takes a million years, I’d be your one and only monsieur Time will tell, you’ll be my mademoiselle Get back, get back, get back home, Won’t you make my dreams come true Don’t say, don’t say, don’t say no The world is waiting just for you Waiting here just for you If you don’t love me by now, your never gonna change your mind Cause everything I’ve done, is just a waste of time And time isn’t on my side, the way that you run and hide Is it love or, your just along for the ride Chorus 1 Chorus 2

Let Me Fly 03:04
Look what’s up for free Is there something more that I can’t see I walked right into your door I can’t face it no more Living within me, and living without you It wouldn’t be living at all The days are much longer with more time to wonder Your warm touch can comfort my fall Well look what’s up with me Is there something more that’s meant to be I stood right in your door I can’t fake it no more Living within me, and living without you It wouldn’t be living at all So hold me much longer and open your heart Let me fly like a bird from your hand Let me fly like a bird from your hand

Call On Him 03:46
When the end’s too close for comfort, and your back’s against the wall And you find yourself in trouble, and life’s too close to call Call On Him Oh-oh, We believe that we’re not alone Oh-oh, We believe He’s still on the throne Oh-oh, lift your head cause it’s time to take you home When your down on your luck, and you need a helping hand And everything around you turns to dust and sinking sand Call on Him Oh-oh, We believe that we’re not alone Oh-oh, We believe He’s still on the throne Oh-oh, lift your head, it’s time to take you home May He bless and keep you, and His face shine upon you And with grace may He give you His peace May He bless and keep you, and His face shine on you And with grace may He give you His peace When the end’s too close for comfort, and your back’s against the wall You find yourself in trouble, and life’s too close to call Call On Him
