HAMMERS AND NAILS
by Mark Heard.
Fire in my shallows, sap of my soul I'm hungry for mercy and thirsty for slack Out in the outland, the flesh and the dust Weight of the tired earth is breaking my back Hope where I left it under the skin Countenance of maidens, the stance of the laddies The healing of old wounds, the trust of my kin The voices of children calling me Daddy
Your love Never can fail to pierce me Hammers and nails Rhythm of passion louder than Hell Thunder of Heaven Hammers and nails
Light in the dark eyes, coal into diamonds Shelter from heavy skies, sand into pearls Bread for the breathless, cloth for the fresh wounds Order and chaos orbit the half-world
The taste of a color, the flavor of light None but a blind man can measure that weight I am a deaf-mute idle as statue Music of hemispheres lost in the half-haze
Your love Never can fail to pierce me Hammers and nails Rhythm of passion louder than Hell Thunder of Heaven Hammers and nails
Hum in the graveyard, whistle in the dark Stains on the stained glass, pains in the heart In darkened corners love lies forgotten In the heat of the moment it waits to be spotted
How could I slight you, how could I turn How can you take it when I'm blind to your pain The burning of fingers, the smoldering nerves How can you take me back over and over again
Your love Never can fail to pierce me Hammers and nails Rhythm of passion louder than Hell Thunder of Heaven Hammers and nails

Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Mama told me when I was young Come sit beside me, my only son And listen closely to what I say. And if you do this It will help you some sunny day. Take your time... Don't live too fast, Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman and you'll find love, And don't forget son, There is someone up above.
(Chorus) And be a simple kind of man. Be something you love and understand. Be a simple kind of man. Won't you do this for me son, If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich man's gold All that you need is in your soul, And you can do this if you try. All that I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied.
(Chorus)
Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself. Follow you heart and nothing else. And you can do this if you try. All I want for you my son, Is to be satisfied.
(Chorus

August 7, 4:15 - Jon Bon Jovi
[This song is dedicated to the memory of Katherine Korzilius.] [Sometimes God calls His angels ... too soon.]
Ah... It was another day Perfect Texas afternoon Mother and two children play The way they always do As they raced home from the mailbox A mother and her son Against a little girl of six years old The independent one
Ah... The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhood They said I got some news to tell you folks I'm afraid it ain't so good Somehow something happened Someone got away Someone got the answers for what happened here today Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
Now the people from the papers And the local TV news tried to find the reason Cop dogs sniffed around for clues Someone shouted "Hit and run" The coroner cried "Foul" Her blue dress was what she wore The day they laid her body down Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 No...
[Guitar solo]
I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hill And no one there can hurt you baby, no one ever will Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed The flames are all around you How you gonna sleep again ? Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15 God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15 [ 4:15 to fade ]

Ugly - Jon Bon Jovi
If you're ugly, I'm ugly too In your eyes the sky's a different blue If you could see yourself like others do You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, Yeah
And I wish I was a camera sometimes So I could take your picture with my mind I'd put it in a frame for you to see How beautiful you really are to me
Ugly, Ugly, all of us Just feel like that somedays Ain't no rainbow in the sky When you feel U.G.L.Y And that's Ugly Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Yeah. Yeah, Yeah
Ugly, Ugly, all of us Just feel like that somedays Ain't no rainbow in the sky When you feel U.G.L.Y And that's Ugly, Ugly, all of us Just feel like that somedays Ain't no cure that you can buy When you feel U.G.L.Y And that's Ugly
So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too If you're a nut then I must be a screw If you could see yourself the way I do You'd wish you were as beautiful as you
Yeah, I wish I was as beautiful as you

"Rockin' In The Free World" - Neil Young
There's colors on the street Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.

Some Days Are Better Than Others - U2
Some days are dry, some days are leaky Some days come clean, other days are sneaky Some days take less, but most days take more Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy Some days you use more force than is necessary Some days just drop in on us Some days are better than others
Some days.... it all adds up And what you got is enough Some days are better than others
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy Your skin is white but you think you're a brother Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining Some sunny days you wish it was raining Some days are sulky some days have a grin Some days have bouncers and won't let you in
Some days you hear a voice Taking you to another place Some days are better than others
Some days are honest some days are not Some days you're thankful for what you've got Some days you wake up in the army And some days... it's the enemy
Some days you work, most days you're lazy Some days you feel like a bit of a baby Lookin' for Jesus and His mother Some days are better than others
Some days... you feel ahead You're making sense of what she said Some days are better than others
Some days you hear a voice Taking you to another place Some days are better than others

Mercy In The Wilderness -Steve Camp
*But He knows the way I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold. I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. ~ Job 23. 10, 12*
Every day that I walk with You You break me down and You make me new Though my faith is tried, this I know is true There is mercy in the wilderness
Through the valley deep and the mountain high You've been my strength and Your Word my guide I have known Your grace through the tears I've cried There is mercy in the wilderness
In the barren place where the hard winds blow Oh my flesh cries out, "Lord refresh my soul!"
Oh the Lord is kind And the Lord is good He is faithful to His children Through the fire and flood He has with me stood He gives me mercy in the wilderness
Oh the chastening of the Father's Hand Yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness Though our hope is born in sorrow there'll be joy at last There is mercy in the wilderness
So I thank You Lord for my every trial The Father's love confirms me as His child

FAITHFUL ~ Randy Stonehill
WHEN I WAS A BOY I OPENED MY EYES LOOKING FOR THE HAND THAT MOVED THE CLOUDS ACROSS THE SKY AND IN MY SIMPLE WAY I BELIEVED THE ONE WHO TURNS THE WORLD AROUND WAS REACHING DOWN FOR ME
Chorus
AND HE'S FAITHFUL TO TAKE ME THROUGH MY DARKEST HOUR FAITHFUL I'VE FELT HIS LOVE, I'VE SEEN HIS POWER AND HE'S FAITHFUL EVEN WHEN I'M NOT WHEN I HAVEN'T GOT THE STRENGTH OF WILL TO CARRY ON HE SAYS, "LEAN ON ME AND I'LL BE STRONG" AND HE'S FAITHFUL
THROUGH THE STORMY DAYS OF TROUBLE AND TRIALS I'M NOT AFRAID TO FACE THE THUNDER AND THE FIRE THE ENDLESS LOVE OF GOD IT STAYS THE SAME FAITH IS SUCH A SIMPLE THING AND SIMPLE THINGS DON'T CHANGE
Chorus
Written by Randy Stonehill and Giovanni Audiori © 1990 Stonehillian Music/Word Music (a division of Word, Inc.)/Ideola Music ASCAP

"Life Wasted" ~ Pearl Jam
You're always saying that there's something wrong,... I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...
Death came around, forced to hear its song,... And know tomorrow can't be depended on.
I seen the home inside your head,... All locked doors and unmade beds. Open sores unattended Let me say just once that
I have faced it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,... A life wasted,.. I'm never going back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again
The world awaits just up the stairs Leave the pain for someone else.
Nothing back there for you to find,... Or was it you, you left behind?
You're always saying you're too weak to be strong,... You're harder on yourself than just about anyone,...
Why swim the channel just to get this far? Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes in waves,... tell me, why invite it to stay?
You're warm with negativity, Yes, comfort is an energy,... But why let the sad song play?
I have faced it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
Oh I escaped it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
From me to anyone who thinks that this life is a life worth considering.....it's not! - M.R.C.

No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) ~ Donna Summer and her
Barbra It's raining, it's pouring my lovelife is boring me to tears, after all these years
Donna No shunshine, no moonlight, no stardust, no sign of romance we don't stand a chance
Barbra I've always dreamed I found the perfect lover but he turned out to be like every other man
Both Raining (raining) pouring (pouring) there's nothing left for us here and we won't waist another tear
Donna If you've had enough, don't put up with his stuff, don't you do it
Barbra If you've had your fill, get the check pay the bill, you can do it
Donna Tell him to just get out,
Barbra Nothing left to talk about
Donna Pack his raincoat show him out
Both Just look him in the eye and simply shout: Enough is enough I can't go on, I can't go on no more no Enough is enough I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough enough is enough that's enough
Donna If you've reached the end, don't pretend that is right when it's over
Barbra (it's over) if the feeling is gone don't think twice just move on, get it over
Donna (over, over)
Both Tell him to just get out, say it clearly, spell it out: enough is enough is enough I can't go on, I can't go on no more no enough is enough is enough I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough enough is enough that's enough
Barbra I've always dreamed to find the perfect lover, but he turns out to be like every other man our love (I had no choice from the start) our love (I've gotta listen to my heart) our love (tearing us apart)
Enough is enough is enough I can't go on, I can't go on no more no enough is enough is enough I want him out, I want him out that door now
Enough is enough enough is enough that's enough
Both No more tears (no more tears) No more tears (no more tears) No more tears (no more tears) No more tears (no more tears) Enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough I've had it, you've had it, he's had it, we've had is
Donna I always dreamed I find the perfect lover,
Barbra But he turned out to be like every other man
Both I had no choice from the start I've gotta listen to my heart tearing us apart
Enough is enough is enough I can't go on, I can't go on no more no enough is enough is enough I want him out, I want him out that door now
Goodbye mister, goodbye, goodbye mister goodbye sugar
It's raining, it's pouring there's nothing left for us here and we won't waist another tear
No more tears is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough is enough!

Come Back ~ Pearl Jam
If I keep holding out,... will the light shine through? Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I feel I've been waiting out the days,... Come Back.
I have been planning out,... All that I'd say to you Since you slipped away,... Know that I still remain true I've been wishing out the days,..
Please say, that if you hadn't of gone now I wouldn't have lost you another way From wherever you are,.... Come Back.
And these days, they linger on And in the night, as I'm waiting on The real possibility I may meet you in my dream I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear So you had to go,......... and I had to remain here
But the strangest thing to date So far away And yet you feel so close And I'm not gonna question it any other way
There must be an open door For you to Come Back
And the days, they linger on And every night, what I'm waiting for Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream
And sometimes you're there And you're talking back to me Come the morning I could swear you're next to me
And it's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'll be here Come Back Come Back
I'll be here Come Back Come Back
I'll be here Come Back Come Back

"Inside Job"~ Pearl Jam
Underneath this smile lies everything all my hopes, anger, pride and shame
make myself a pact, not to shut doors on the past just for today,... I am free
I will not lose my faith It's an inside job today
I know this one thing well,...
I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin breathing insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run straight pursuing the greater way for all,... human light.
How I choose to feel,... Is how I am. How I choose to feel,... Is how I am.
I will not lose my faith It's an inside job today
Holding on, the light of night On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again.
Let me run into the rain To be a human light again
Let me run into the rain To shine a human light today
Life comes from within your heart and desire Life comes from within my heart and desire Life comes from within your heart and desire
