All
U Need
Life can get so complicated
You forget what's real you forget what's good
And they tell you you're educated
If you complicate the simple truth
What's it all about?
Let's break it down
All you need is a listening ear
A smiling face
And a shoulder that you can cry on
Do you believe that we'll live forever
Or will just go back to the dust we're from?
When morality's up for sale
Do you still believe in a right and wrong?

Spending Time
Long ago she was working with dying people
And she let me know some of their lonely wisdom
She'd never met anyone who on their death-bed
Wished they spent more of their time at work
It was families and prayer
on knees
Smelling roses and walks through trees that meant
something
And spending time growing close
Thinking of what matters most
Spending time is all we have
Let's change our lives while we still can
They were young when they met and fell in love
He worked hard he was paid well and got promoted
"It's all for you!" he said he couldn't understand
the distance
She said she felt years alone had killed their romance
It was families and prayer
on knees
Smelling roses and walks through trees that meant
something to her
Spending
time growing close
Thinking of what matters most
Spending time is all we have
Let's change our lives while we still can
You and I we met when things were simple
You earned the bread and I dreamed of making millions
How things have changed and tonight I sing for money
And you're at home emersed in books and study
You come home and I go out
Let's not forget what this is all about
Spending
time growing close
Thinking of what matters most
Spending time is all we have
Let's change our lives while we still can

As
long as you come home to me
I'm a simple guy it's a long road
I've never wanted much but what I have I don't let go
When I met you love you took my breath away
You turn heads in the street your beauty radiates
I'm not a jealous guy and I want you to know baby
I don't mind where you go
As long as you come home to me
Well I'm a little older maybe you're a little young
I'm a settle downer you're a restless heart
Girl I'll give you space I won't follow you
And I'll give you trust and I'll wait at home to you
Cause I'm not a jealous guy and I want you to know baby
I don't mind where you go
As long as you come home to me
My friends say it's time but I've no wish to find another
love
But baby I'm no fool , you're talking in your sleep
You can't hide the truth
So I whisper to you unfaithfulness is cruel
I'm a simple guy and I promised you
I'd love you 'till you die but baby I'm no fool
Yeah I'll give you time I won't tie a string
But If you got another lover I'll pack up all my things
And you'll have yourself to blame
For not doing the right thing by me
So just be careful where you go

Finish
Line
You got me running 'round ain't got no place to go
You keep me waiting you need a slow hand
Slow hand don't you know
You got me wondering if you're really there
'Gotta keep on track no looking back
Let the sweet sun light my day
I've been searching for your face in a crowded city
street
'Cause I can't go on 'till I know for sure
Hey Jesus you're the one I've been trying to meet
You got me wondering if you're really there
Gotta keep on track no looking back
Let the sweet sun light my day
You got me ready for the first time
I need a love that's gonna take me to the finish line
I've been sold a black lie by the hand that held the
flag
They waved those colors in my face
Robbed my youth and stole me blind
Submission is the password in a country with no brains
You gotta shake your fist through the deep dark mist
And let the sweet son light your day

Girl
with the Crooked Mirror
I know a girl with a crooked mirror
She saw her face through the crooked lines
She said Mother you're my believer
Can you help me to see me a I really am?
Help me to see that beauty lies in me
So be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies in me
She said ain't it a mystery that I can believe
In somebody else's beautiful dreams
But here in this mirror the image is broken
I wish I could swallow the love I receive
'Cause I can't believe that beauty lies in me
When your mirror's broken it only makes sense
To rely on opinions from others
Now this girl was lovely with beautiful features
But words like these they don't come from your friends
And her thoughts deceived her so she played follow the
leader
And she said be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies
in me
He came along where she was weak he was strong
He took the mirror and he threw it down and whispered
Look at me I'll help you see the beauty I believe
She said be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies
in me
I know a girl with a beautiful family
And they're her mirror they shine like love
She's finding peace as a wife and a mother
This healing road that she's walking on
She sees her reflection in her young boys eyes
And she says be my mirror and I'll see that beauty lies
in me

No Problem
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
I've no problem receiving from a God who could set me
free
I've no problem believing that He came and He died for
me
But condemnation and judgement I hate
And conversations and endless debate
Show me something real live it in your life
Maybe I'm the fruit hanging off the vine
I've no problem with compassion or a little bit of dignity
But you haven't asked me a question all you do is you
patronize me
Condemnation and judgement I hate
And conversations and endless debate
Show me something real live it in your life
Maybe I'm the fruit hanging off the vine
We're all God's creation not just those who agree
If we don't love every heart then we make God a lie
And simply justify all the reasons why people don't
believe

Nobody Else
If I say I truly love you you can be sure it's true
No hidden meaning or reservation straight from this
heart to you
You can be sure it's true
I love you it's your smile your pretty face and your
conversation
I don't want nobody else but you
No I don't want nobody else
No I don't want nobody else
No I don't want nobody else but you
If I stay in my own corner and hold back a part of me
We may survive but love it withers there's only one
thing to do
Give all my heart to you
I love you and you know there's times I've stumbled
and even fallen
But I don't want nobody else but you
Can you believe it's true? When I give all my heart
to you
And I don't think of getting back that's when my heart
is full
I need you I need you and you need me
Let's never lose this combination
Cos I don't want nobody else but you

Mr Religion
Dear Mr Religion seems times are not so good
You say people ain't doing the things they know they
should
Well Mr Religion people say that you had your go
And they're not believing not in the God you show
Dear Mr Religion you sing amazing grace
So please will you tell me what's that disapproving
look upon your face
Do you love the sinner though you may not love the sin?
Are you part of the problem and the mess we're in
And don't you know people are the same wherever you
go
And can't you see they're a lot like you and a lot like
me
And it's only love only love
That changes hearts and changes minds
So please Mr Religion don't let them leave you behind
Dear Mr Religion can you rise the limbo bar?
'Cos I can't get under not the way things are
Well Mr Religion are you too quick to judge my sin
'Cause you still haven't asked me how I made the mess
I'm in
It's only love it's only love
That changes hearts and changes minds
So please Mr Religion don't let them leave you

Run
Sometimes you gotta run into the arms of danger
Sometimes you gotta be the sacrifice
Sometimes you gotta say things that don't come easy
They say just follow your heart but what if it lies?
And God only knows how to play this game called life
and living
So hold me light a candle in the window pane tonight
Stop me running from the things that could save my life
Well you know I tried I tried to make you love me
And I really should have known it'd make you run
Some people always want just a little more than they're
given
But when it's finally caught it loses it's life
And God only knows
And God only knows
And God only knows
How to play this game called life and living

Life is Where You Are
Well I took my lady to the top of a mountain
We hung our feet over all creation
And we agreed that the sight was beautiful
And we agreed that tomorrow it'd be a memory
And as far as we could see was all that we could be
But the land had seen lovers come and go
Life is where you are
She said think about the greatest day in your life
A day you were longing for the sun to rise
You said hey this is life I've been looking for
And you groaned as the shadows fell on the floor
And up on that mountain we saw our days
Rise like a vapour and float away
Life is where you are
Talking about L I F E
Think of all the times think of all the times
When you've dreamed of being somebody somewhere in another
time
And you closed your eyes and been swallowed by sleep
And your secret desires they rise from the deep
You say I wish I was somebody someone else
'Cause life looks real from where they are
Life is where you are
Talking about L I F E
We're all looking for security
It's the basic drug of human need
I've lost faith in things that fade
Or things that get stolen or get taken away
And up on that mountain we saw our days
Rise like a vapour and float away
Life is where you are
Talking about L I F E

Fill My Cup
Come on you lately come on and rescue me
'Been at you lately but I've been more at me
Love is a lesson I never learned at school
Sick in bed that day and so I play your fool
Sick of this sea-saw of going up and sown
Promised consistency to you in my wedding vow
Call me up whisper in my ear
Fell like a calendar from another year
Fill my cup to the top with running water
Call me out and show me how
Talk to me without manipulation
Shoot from the hip you'll shock the congregation
Wake me up whenever supper's ready
Break bread and wine but still I'm feeling empty
You gotta show me how show me how
I feel light I could float up to you weights and all
I feel like a bridge on the water connecting your shore
Start me up and let me fly with you
This barren ground these bones are dry and empty

4 Love
I don't know where you draw the line
'Cause I'm just a person trying to pick up all the
pieces
And they never asked me where I want to be born
And they never told me that love would be so hard
Well I grew up staring at the face of Jesus
And I always wondered how they took his photograph
I remember staring through a stained glass window
Funny how it made the world look different on the
other side
And I wish that I could walk ahead and never fall
behind
And I wish that we were all for love
I'm only young but I know the difference
Between your condemnation and the one who really loves
I've worked out love is more than just emotion
But some days all I want to do is cover up
You are my love You are my love
'Cause I need more than just my love
I'm only one in a world of millions who can save this
heart
Who can set me free?
The things I face to me seem so damn crucial
But when I look in suffering eyes I always see my
place
