Why This Way

Why does it have to be have to be this way?
You took my heart and threw it away.
We had our life together,
We had our love forever.
Now I’m stuck here thinking about you everyday!

No more sharing dreams; no more visiting museums.
No more memories and touring wineries.
I’ll never touch your skin or make love to you again.
Why does it have to be this way?

I know that we said we’d be friends
But I can’t shake the thought of being together again.
I think of you every moment of every day!
Why does it have to be this way?

Why does it have to be this way?

One Day

Well I don’t understand,
How you can make demands.
On your high horse you sit.
But I see right through it!
You’re such a big, big man
With all your crazy plans.
You’re pushing people down
To gain the higher ground.
One day you’ll slip and fall
And meet the end of all!

Think about it, think about it.
Think about who you are.
Another late night, another cocktail,
Another drink at the bar
Think about it, think about it.
Think about who you are.
Your main concern is who you are!

Now here you go again,
Another casualty.
Of your hypocrisy
And your complacency.
And although she gave her best,
She was not like the rest.
The feeling of regret.
Now you have to live with it!

There may be one chance in this lifetime
To heal your scar.
So think about it, think about it.
Think about who you are.
One day you’ll find who you really are!

Low Down

Hey there honey, how ya been do’n?
I haven’t seen you in a while
But if you don’t mind me say’n,
I know it’s kinda funny
But I sure do miss your smile.

Cause in the time that’s past
Every night and day,
I hope you’ll be ok
And even though we’ve gone our separate ways,
I know you’ve got something to say.

Give me that low down
Give me the low down..
Give me the low down on what’s been go’n on!

Hey there brother, I hope it’s no bother
And I know it’s quite some time
But if you’re not too busy,
Won’t you come by and have a drink of wine.

Cause when you think about
What we’ve done and seen
And the places we have been
It’s amazing that we still go on
And we’re the best of friends!

Give me the low down..
Give me the low down on what’s been go’n on!

Hey everybody, isn’t lovely,
To be here once again.
Beneath the starry skies;
A watchful eye,
Surrounded by our friends.

A Man A Plan A Canal Panama

What he did was so unique.
The possibility was reached.
With a big stick in his hand,
He drew a line across the land.
To let the water run right through,
He did what no other could do.
The year was 1903 *
And it’s true I speak of he!

The trench took years to build;
He had people from all guilds,
They worked all day long for pennies.
And the mosquitos, there were many!

Days and days were spent digging.
Voluminous big ditch!
And just as they were gaining,
Infestation came and pitched
Yellow fever on the ground
And they had to shut things down.
Hot sun! Hard labour! Where does it end?

A Man a Plan a Canal Panama..

Soon the vaccine, it was found
And they could continue the work.
With all things now in place,
They finished in a record pace.
The greatest triumph of it’s day,
A modern marvel I must say!

A Man a Plan a Canal Panama..

*actually 1904, US construction operations began on May 4, 1904

Time Is Of The Essence

How much can we take,
Before we crack and break?
The knot is getting tighter.
Feels like a big mistake.
They say it will get better.
You have to ride it out
But time is of the essence,
With an overshadow of doubt.
Days and weeks are passing,
With nothing much to show.
The pressure keeps on mounting.
It’s time to let it go!

It’s time to make a stand now
And formulate a plan.
Keep on moving forward
And stick it to the man!
It’s time to make our presence,
So everyone will know,
That time is of the essence.
It’s time to let it go!

Time is of the essence!

Pot Of Gold Blues

So you’re searching for something..
The way you think it should be.
A determined direction,
Taught by society.
You gotta make that money
And posses all you can.
The more think you have,
The more you want in the end.

Everyone’s search’n for their pot of gold,
Just look into your soul!

So you’re going to college,
Work’n towards your degree.
You gotta get that paper,
That tells you who you should be
But upon graduation
You suddenly starting to see,
It’s not recognition, (that)
Defines finality.

Everyone’s search’n for their pot of gold,
Just look into your soul!

So you got your car
And you got your house.
You got your sports teams.
You got it all figured out!
You saw the latest movie
And you watched your shows.
You set your direction!
Now where do you go?

Everyone search’n for their pot of gold,
Just look into your soul!
