Always Something (to Believe In)
Written by: Malea McGuinness & Gary Burr
I was lots of little pieces I'd been glued and taped together I was strung and tied the best way I knew how I was one breath short of living Til I found something to believe in It's a simple think my heart has figured out We all hurt, we all ache Bend to the point we think we'll break But there's always something to believe in We all hope, we all climb And leaving the ground's just a matter of time There's always something to believe in Something to believe in If there was a candle of truth I'd be honest Things don't get better overnight It's one foot forward one step at a time But that never stopped me from trying, I had nothing left to lose When I hit the bottom I knew this was true We all hurt, we all ache Bend to the point we think we'll break But there's always something to believe in We all hope, we all climb And leaving the ground's just a matter of time There's always something to believe in Something to believe in If I always do what I've always done, I'll get what I've always got So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
In the Next Life
Written by: Malea McGuinness, Gary Burr, Jim Huff
I did the best I could Everything I knew how To get to the hardened heart You got this time around You let all things beautiful Slip through your careless hands So all that I wish for you Is you'll get a second chance Maybe in the next life you'll let somebody love you Maybe in the next life you'll fly the way you're meant to Have to believe that you'll come back again Pull the walls down, let someone in Maybe in the next life you'll let somebody love you If we pass on the street someday Will you know how hard I tried Guess we all meet for a reason Ours was to say goodbye Maybe in the next life you'll let somebody love you Maybe in the next life you'll fly the way you're meant to Have to believe that you'll come back again Pull the walls down, let someone in Maybe in the next life you'll let somebody love you Have to believe that you'll come back again Pull the walls down, let someone in Maybe in the next life you'll let somebody love you

There's a wild and lonely child at the airport and she's standing there with tears in her eyes It's freezing cold but she's dressed for summer and she's watching all the families rush by She's hoping that someone will want her and love her for the rest of her days They're like Stars Crystal painted stars Don't pull them from the sky Don't take away their shine Put shadows on the lights they are They're like Stars Without them it's cold and dark Never let them fall, try to catch them all They're like stars He's never had a birthday or Christmas He's never read a book though he's five He's trying to fix his own frozen dinner trying to keep him and his sister alive Just another child that's been thrown away, another child this world has lost They're like Stars Crystal painted stars Don't pull them from the sky Don't take away their shine Put shadows on the lights they are They're like Stars Without them it's cold and dark Never let them fall, try to catch them all They're like stars The next time I'm running, caught up in myself I'm gonna stop, ask how can I help If I don't notice, then something's wrong with me I'm missing the beauty in front of me Chorus

I've never been better, blame it all on you kissed out the bitter and I blame that on you too And I won't let you live it down anytime too soon I won't ever be the same I got it in a bad, bad way And It's so sweet/ sweet love You hold me close everyday It's beautiful in every way It's sweet/sweet love It's alright with me I love to wake up in my new reality With a halo of sunlight lighting up my street So far from the darkness that was chasing after me It feels so right I just want to Lay my heart down next to you Cause it's so sweet/sweet love You hold me close everyday It's beautiful in every way It's sweet/sweet love/sweet love It's alright with me It's alright with me In a wonderful, wild way I've never felt so Complete...

True Believer
Written by: Malea McGuinness & Scott Hackworth
True Believer it's good to have you back again You've been away for far too long Good to know where you belong Sunshine, fills my window Good rhymes fill my head And tell me all my dreams come true True Believer saw you once in a dream You said that you'd be back for me And here you are truthfully Sunshine fills my window Good rhymes fill my head And tell me all my dreams come true
Jesus Was A Crossmaker
Written by: Judee Sill
Sweet silver angels over the sea please come down flying low for me One time I trusted a stranger 'cause I heard his sweet song And it was gently enticing me though there was something wrong When I turned he was gone Blinding me his song remains reminding me he's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker He wages war with the devil a pistol by his side And though he chases him out my window and won't give him a place to hide He keeps his door open wide Fighting him he lights a lamp inviting him He's a bandit and a heartbreaker oh but Jesus was a crossmaker I hear the thunder come rumbling the light never looked so dim I see the junction get nearer and danger's in the wind and either road's looking grim Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me He's a bandit and a heartbreaker Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker
The Phoenix
Written by: Judee Sill
You're like an angel born with just one wing You cannot leave the ground until you try One desperate moment changes everything You can't run-you've got to fly! So don't try to hold on to all that you have Don't stop to look down Here we are once again take a breath you know you can close your eyes And just let go No matter what you do, no matter what you say, never gonna turn and walk away So don't be afraid to fall Just like a pearl in the hand of fate, trying to find just where you belong The world's your shell that you can't escape and in the end you're still alone So don't try to hold on to all that you have Don't stop to look down Here we are once again take a breath you know you can close your eyes And just let go No matter what you do, no matter what you say, never gonna turn and walk away So don't be afraid to fall Cause nothing stays with you in endless space Stars are blazing everywhere Above your head I see a brand new day but you don't see and that's why You're so so scared Here we are once again close your eyes and just pretend, hold my hand or just Let go, oh, no matter, no matter, where you are, don't be afraid Don't be afraid to fall, cause I will be there through it all, don't be afraid to fall
Looking for Love
Written by: Malea McGuinness & Gary Burr
It's a story ripe for telling and I've held it in the best I can It took a lot of brokenness to make me finally understand Round and Round, It's never enough Lost and always looking for love A Mother's supposed to hold you not make you hold your breath A Father should protect you not scare you half to death One night they came to get me in a state owned Chevrolet Looked me and my sister over, put us in and drove away Round and Round, It's never enough Lost and always looking for love Round and Round Lost and always looking for love I'd like to say the pain was over and I'd learned what family is Things are never what they seem Another town, another fist But We're stronger than we think we are, we can take a lot One day the young girl realized she could give the pain she got Round and Round, It's never enough Lost and always looking for love Round and Round Lost and always looking for love Couldn't see the future Couldn't see that things might change Couldn't know if she'd be loved it might happen anyway It's a neverending story that makes me sad to say But every sunrise keeps me hoping I'll close the book someday Round and Round it's never enough lost and always looking for love Round and Round it's never enough Lost and always looking for love Lost and always looking for love
Girl In the Mirror
Written by: Malea McGuinness & Gary Burr
Her face is the one I try not to see But she's in every mirror in front of me I pretend to be brave, I do that a lot Then I look in her eyes and she tells me I'm not So til I can look and not see the fear I'll stay away from the girl in the mirror She wants me to doubt and keep my dreams small Who do I think I am after all? She wants me to know I'm never enough Keep my fingernails bitten that's what she loves So til the day comes when she disappears I'll stay away from the girl in the mirror I could hang her in the closet under the stairs Or stick her in the attic Forget that she's there But what good would it do to I lock her away? I won't see myself get stronger every day Now her face is the one I'm happy to see She looks like the person I'm trying to be It's been a long road And now that I'm here I think I might like the girl in the mirror
Midnight Rider
