VERSE 1
I am begging at this corner
I am lying here in rags
But I don't need no money
I want something that will last
VERSE 2
I am sitting in the sunshine
But all I feel is rain
I wish I knew the answers
So I could end this pain
VERSE 3
Winter is coming
But I have no where to go
I hope I don't die this time around
I hope I find my way back home
VERSE 4
Cause they say that I cannot live out here in the streets
They say this is no place for me to be
They say this box is not a home
They say that man cannot live alone
VERSE 5
That's why my hands they are trembling
Cause I'm tired and I'm scared
Tonight my cup is empty
It hasn't been filled in years
CHORUS
So put a little bit a love in my cup now
Put a little bit of love today
Put a little bit a of love in my cup
Put a little bit of love today.

VERSE 1
I laid in my bed last night
Starring up to the sky
The walls seem to be closing in around me
Tears welled up in the corner of my eye
Seems like these problems will never end
I need an answer - tell me when will this end
VERSE 2
I know others looking in on me
Think that I have so much
they see all the things that I am doing
They don’t see me leaning on this invisible crutch
Hope springs eternal as long as life lasts
But I need an answer - tell me when will this end
CHORUS
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Forget the Regret

VERSE 1
I recall a time before now
But not so long ago
I screwed up... I shouldn't have done that
Made me feel so low
So I carried bags of guilt around me
Then stopped at the cross roads
Depression came and smiled at me
Scared me something so
CHORUS 1
Made me stop... Read the sign
Regret ain't a friend of mine
Took some time to realign
Instant call to the Divine
Drop those bags now
Choose to allow
Forgiveness cause you did your best
Now change your presets
Hit the reset... and
Forget the regret
CHANT
No woe is me
My foe is me
Can grow to be
Happy and free
No woe is me
I know it's me
Can grow to be
Happy and free
VERSE 2
Think of failure attracts more failure
(That's the way it is)
Birds of feather always flock together
(Doesn't take a wiz)
So ponder your good times to get more good times
(That's the way it is)
Cause roll in regret just brings more regret
(Well ain't that something... you know)
CHORUS 2
Made me stop... Read the sign
Listen now good friends of mine
Take some time to realign
Instant link to the Divine
Drop those bags now
Choose to allow
Forgiveness cause you did your best
Now change your presets
Hit the reset... and
Forget the regret
CHANT
No woe is me
My foe is me
Can grow to be
Happy and free
No woe is me
I know it's me
Can grow to be
Happy and free
You flow thru me
I grow to be
Happy and free
Happy in me
VERSE 3
Now the moral of this little tale
That heals all broken Souls
Take note of your own mental trail
Each day to help you to grow
And remember just one little success
When you are feeling low
Go practice this little process
To reach a new plateau
CHORUS 3
Made me stop... Read the sign
Happy is a friend of mine
Take some time to realign
We are touching the Divine
So drop those bags now
Choose to allow
Forgiveness cause you did your best
Now change your presets
Hit the reset... and
Forget the regret
CHORUS 4
Made me stop... Read the sign
Thank you is a friend of mine
Take some time to realign
We are reaching the Divine
So drop those bags now
Choose to allow
Forgiveness cause you did your best
Now change your presets
Hit the reset... and
Forget the regret
CHORUS 5
Made me stop... Read the sign
True love is a friend of mine
Take some time to realign
We are breathing the Divine
So drop those bags now
Choose to allow
Forgiveness cause you did your best
Now change your presets
Hit the reset... and
Forget the regret

Lost/Found
04:33

CHORUS
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
VERSE 1
I had been bound, my head facing down
And I stayed there out of my fear
I shut out the light, lost all my sight
Believe the lies and your soul dies
VERSE 2
Felt like a jail, set up to fail
Glued to a box, couldn’t hear life knocks
Place I had been, knew I couldn’t win
Believe the lies and your soul dies

CHORUS
Mary don't you weep
Tell Martha not to mourn
Cause the enemy's army
Don't you know they've been drawn
I'm singing, Mary...
Tell Martha not to mourn
VERSE
I know you read the news Mary
And the news ain't good
I know you call your family Mary
And the news ain't good
You talk to your friends, your family, your co-workers
And the news ain't good
But if you remember that story Mary
If you remember your past Mary
Your history Mary
They rose
Lazarus rose
So in the midst of the trouble Mary
So in the midst of this heartache Mary
We'll rise...

VERSE 1
Cut the strings untie the things
That keep you down, bound, facing ground
Lost now found
Undo the knot that keeps you caught
Wrought in despair, change is here
So calm your fears
CHORUS
No more disillusions
No more pain regrets
No more running scared when things don’t turn out right
No more sad heartbreaks
No more broke heartaches
No more wondering what will happen to me in the end
Free I want to be free
VERSE 2
I want to soar, I want to fly
High in the sky no more to cry
Or watch love go by
One step at a time is how I’ll climb
Won’t stop until I reach the top

Someday
05:19
|

VERSE 1
Someday we’ll get together
Someday we’ll be all right
Someday we’ll stop this hatred
That’s keeping us apart
VERSE 2
Someday we’ll know what love is
Someday we’ll lend a hand
Someday we’ll know who God is
Someday we’ll understand
VERSE 3
Someday I’ll look into your heart
Someday you’ll look in mine
Just think of the happiness
You and I could find
VERSE 4
Someday we’ll hug our sisters
Someday erase the scars
Someday we’ll see our brothers
Someday remove the bars
Someday we know our children
Love them for who they are

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a child like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
Twas grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
Twas grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home
