You Light Up My Life So many nights, I'd sit by my window, Waiting for someone to sing me his song. So many dreams, I kept deep inside me, Alone in the dark, but now you've come along. And you light up my life, You give me hope, to carry on. You light up my days And fill my nights with song. Rollin' at sea, adrift on the waters Could it be finally, I'm turning for home Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I Love You" Never again to be all alone. And you light up my life, You give me hope, to carry on. You light up my days And fill my nights with song. You, You light up my life You give me hope to carry on You light up my days And fill my nights with song It can't be wrong, when it feels so right 'Cause you, you light up my life |

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day. And I don't borrow from the sunshine 'Cause the skies might turn to grey. And I don't worry about the future, 'Cause I know what Jesus said, And today I'm gonna walk right beside him 'Cause he's the one who knows what is ahead. There are things about tomorrow That I don't seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand. And each step is getting brighter As the golden stairs I climb. And every burden is getting lighter And all the clouds, their silver line. And, I'll bet the sun it's always shining And no tears will ever dim the eye And the ending of the rainbow Where the mountains, they touch the sky. There are many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand. Yes I know who holds my hand. |

On The Side Angels I've never been so certain, I've never been sure. We're on the side of angels, If we believe this love is pure. Is it so hard to trust it, 'Cause we've been wrong before? There comes a time in every life, We find the heart we're waiting for. After all the might-have-beens, The close and distant calls After all the try-agains, Don't be afraid to fall We're on the side of angels after all. Every time you touch me, Don't you feel it too? The gentle hand that's guiding us You to me, me to you After all the might-have-beens, The close and distant calls After all the try-agains, Don't be afraid to fall We're on the side of angels after all. Heaven only knows Why this took so long But only Heaven knows A love is right or wrong After all the might-have-beens, The close and distant calls After all the try-agains, Don't be afraid to fall We're on the side of angels, On the side of angels, On the side of angels, after all. |

Clinging To A Saving Hand Sing me a song of praise and glory Help this wandering child to understand. That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal I'll be clinging to a saving hand. I want you to sing to me about the rock of ages, And sing about eternity so sweet. So that when I take my last breath of life I'll awaken at my saviour's feet. I want you to tell me about Paul and Matthew And sing about my dear saviour's birth And tell about his trials and tribulations. While he walked upon his heathen Earth. Come on and sing me a song of praise and glory Help this wandering child to understand. That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal I'll be clinging to a saving hand. I'll be clinging to a saving hand. |

Ten Thousand Angels Cried Stillness filled the Heavens, on crucifixion day. Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true. Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels cried That would seem like rain to me and you. The angels all stood ready to take Him from the tree They waited for the words from His voice. And when he asked the father why has thou forsaken me. They watched the saviour die of his own choice. I've never seen ten thousand angels cry But I'm sure they did As they stood by And watched the saviour die. God turned his head away He couldn't bear the sight It must have looked like rain When ten thousand angels cried. As the sun slipped away The skies turned to grey And when Jesus gave his all That's when the tears began to fall I've never seen ten thousand angels cry But I'm sure they did As they stood by And watched the saviour die. God turned his head away He couldn't bear the sight It must have looked like rain When ten thousand angels cried. It must have looked like rain When ten thousand angels cried. |

LET THE TRAIN BLOW THE WHISTLE I don't want no aggravation When my train has left the station If you're there or not, I may not even know Have a round and remember Things we did that weren't so tender Let the train blow the whistle when I go On my guitar sell tickets So someone can finally pick it And tell the girls down at the Ritz I said hello Tell the gossipers and liars I will see them in the fire Let the train blow the whistle when I go Let her blow, let her blow Long and loud and hard and happy Let her blow No regrets, all my debts will be paid When I get laid Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow You'll be left without excuses For the evils and abuses Down to today from years and years ago And have yourself another toke From my basket full of smoke And let the train blow the whistle when I go Let her blow, let her blow Long and loud and hard and happy Let her blow No regrets, all my debts will be paid When I get laid Let her blow, let her blow, let her blow |

DOWN THERE BY THE TRAIN There's a place I know where the train goes slow Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb There's a river by the trestle down by sinner's grove Down where the willow and the dogwood grow You can hear the whistle, you can hear the bell From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell And there's room for the forsaken if you're there on time You'll be washed of all your sins and all of your crimes If you're down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow There's a golden moon that shines up through the mist And I know that your name can be on that list There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth He was down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train He was down there where the train goes slow If you've lost all your hope, if you've lost all your faith I know you can be cared for and I know you can be safe And all the shamefuls and all of the whores And even the soldier who pierced the side of the Lord Is down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow Well, I've never asked forgiveness and I've never said a prayer Never given of myself, never truly cared I've left the ones who loved me and I'm still raising Cain I've taken the low road and if you've done the same Meet me down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow Meet me down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there by the train Down there where the train goes slow |

BIRD ON A WIRE
Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free Like a fish on a hook Like a knight from an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons with thee And if I have been unkind I hope that you will just let it go by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you Like a baby stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to you I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me "Don't ask for so much" And a young man leaning on his darkened door He cried out to me "Hey, why not ask for more" Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free |

THE MAN WHO COULDN'T CRY
There once was a man who just couldn't cry He hadn't cried for years and for years Napalmed babies and the movie love story For instance could not produce tears As a child he had cried as all children will Then at some point his tear ducts ran dry He grew to be a man, the feces hit the fan Things got bad, but he couldn't cry His dog was run over, his wife up and left him And after that he got sacked from his job Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob His novel was refused, his movie was panned And his big Broadway show was a flop He got sent off to jail; you guessed it, no bail Oh, but still not a dribble or drop In jail he was beaten, bullied and buggered And made to make license plates Water and bread was all he was fed But not once did a tear stain his face Doctors were called in, scientists, too Theologians were last and practically least They all agreed sure enough; this was sure no cream puff But in fact an insensitive beast He was removed from jail and placed in a place For the insensitive and the insane He played lots of chess and made lots of friends And he wept every time it would rain Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights And he cried and he cried and he cried and he cried On the forty-first day, he passed away He just dehydrated and died Well, he went up to heaven, located his dog Not only that, but he rejoined his arm Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back Cancer robbed the whore of her charm His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke The theologians were finally found out Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down The earth suffered perpetual drought |
