I’m So Glad You’re My Friend This journey we travel Such a lonely road So often unforgiving Merciless and cold I was lost and alone Wandering aimlessly And suddenly you appeared You were waiting just for me You know I didn’t realize When you came into my life You were there to help me Illuminate the darkness with your light I thought for sure I’d have to face it all alone Luckily I had a friend Who I could lean on I’m so glad you’re my friend I’m so glad you’re my friend Thank you again Although our road breaks and bends I’m so glad you’re my friend When those winds of change come blowing in You got to hang on tight and do the best that you can I’m so glad you’re my friend I’m so glad you’re my friend Thank you again May your road never end I’m so glad you’re my friend Your being there made it easier Your being there made it easier for me I’m so glad you’re my friend I’m so glad you’re my friend Thank you again Until our paths cross again I’m so glad you’re my friend I’m so glad you’re my friend I’m so glad you’re my friend Thank you again Thank you again I’m so glad you’re my friend

STUCK IN A RUT I didn’t think I’d end up this way Old before my time, wasting away So much hope when I was young Now I’m climbing a ladder A ladder with broken rungs I’m stuck in a rut My tires a flat on this bumpy road I’m spinning my wheels and just can’t seem to go It makes no difference how hard I try I’m glued to the floor with blinders on my eyes I’m stuck in a rut I got to get away From this day to day Down down The same routine, everyday I feel like a rat crawling through a maze I got to keep fighting this rut I’m in Maybe someday I’ll find myself again I’m stuck in a rut

Walk All Over Me 04:20
lyrics

WALK ALL OVER ME Take a piece of my heart And walk all over me Chew it up and spit it out For the world to see Can you make it go away And are you the one, who’s gonna save me I’ll give it all to you If you want you can take me I just can’t say no And I’ll never let you down I’ll carry all your extra baggage Just please keep me around I’ll take what you got to give Knock me down. Rearrange me. I’ve been down this road before Think by now it would change me Walk all over me I got everything I ever wanted But something don’t seem right I can’t quite put my finger on it Maybe someday I might When you look into my eyes Do you sense my frustration My day to day life My quiet desperation Walk all over me

Look At Us Now 05:33
lyrics
buy track
Look at Us Now On a gray April morning I took a lonesome walk I didn’t have no place to go So I ended up in a house of God Saw a preacher at the pulpit Wearing green pastel and white He cried, Lord, please have mercy and make everything alright He said, Look at us crying Look at us now We’re waiting for salvation But the rain keeps on falling down I saw a woman with a moustache And a man with a bad toupee His wig was dingy yellow But his hair was silver gray Across the aisle I saw a soldier Looking scared, but sitting tall He had the weathered face of a child He was waiting for his call He said. Look at us crying Look at us now We’re waiting for salvation And the rain keeps on falling down The preacher’s eyes burned with fire And his trembling voice grew thin When he laid his hands on the soldier Said, Forgive us for our sins And the woman sitting next to me She was sobbing uncontrollably When she looked up to the heaven and fell down to her knees She said. “Look at us crying Look at us now We’re waiting for salvation And the rain keeps on falling down And the preacher started shaking when he looked into my eyes He said, Jesus knows you’re suffering Jesus sees you cry I sat there very quietly I didn’t know what to say When I felt a hand on my shoulder It was the man with the bad toupee He said. Look at us crying Look at us now We’re waiting for salvation And the rain keeps on falling down Look at us crying Look at us now We’re waiting for salvation And the rain keeps on falling down

Hollow Gold 03:37
lyrics

HOLLOW GOLD Streetlights shining hollow gold The darkened night reveals stories untold A young man's heart is being bought and sold Part of the process of growing old He walks alone in fear A product of eighteen sheltered years He's hungry and cold Still the streetlights Shine hollow gold Sunlight curses the dawn A family father tends to his lawn He chops away the choking weeds Cuts the life out of his shrubberies All those leaves of grass Memories of his days past He's waived his control Still the streetlights Shine hollow gold

Awareness Poem 01:07

Awareness Poem They stand like towers Each eternal home A dozen plastic flowers Motionless, alone Miles of granite memories Fill the city of unknown Remind us of what used to be With monuments of stone Monuments of stone
