Deep Roots 3 lyrics
Shaggyman smiles in almost all his days
Too lost and numb to notice that he's walking in a haze
He's pushed himself here and doesn't know what to do
Choked down by the clock
He doesn't know what to do
I say, you say, you say
It's work
Yeah it's work all day
Shaggyman is mad at the world
Shaggyman is mad at the world
Shaggyman is mad at the world
Green grasses, deep trenches, liquid lunches, lost all senses
Shaggyman smiles in almost all his days
Too lost and numb to notice that he's walking in a haze
I say, you say, you say
It's work
Yeah it's work all day
Shaggyman is mad at the world
Shaggyman is mad at the world . . .
Poor Pitiful She
by Ryan Monroe
Poor pitiful he
Poor pitiful she
Runnin' away from the light
Goin' for the ignorant delight
Poor pitiful he
Poor pitiful she
Coverin' up your children's eyes
Leads them to their minds' demise
Huck Finn and 451
No reason to grab a gun
Leave our books
Leave our candied wine
Go ruin your own mind
Poor pitiful he
Poor pitiful she
Runnin' away from the light
Goin' for the ignorant delight
Poor pitiful he
Poor pitiful she
Coverin' up your children's eyes
Leads them to their minds' demise
Learning can be a road of hurt
But on the other side of the path unpaved with dirt
Are the minds of the people before
Who can make your children so much more
Poor pitiful he
Poor pitiful she
Runnin' away from the light
Goin' for the ignorant delight
Poor pitiful he
Poor pitiful she
Coverin' up your children's eyes
Leads them to their minds' demise
When dark clouds begin to fill the sky
Your life's spiraling out of control and you don't know why
Don't be afraid to reach out to me
Because no matter what
You'll always be my best friend
I'll stand by you
In every thing you choose to do
You're my best friend and I'll stand by you
So whether you choose the beaten path or blaze your own trail
I have faith in you and you won't fail
But if there's ever a time when you're not number one
Just give me a call and I'll help you find the sun
Because your my best friend
I'll stand by you
In every thing you choose to do
You're my best friend and I'll stand by you
You're my best friend
I'll stand by you
In every thing you choose to do
You're my best friend and I'll stand by you
I don't know how I fell so far
Maybe I would've held on
Time is my enemy
My strength is fading fast
So now I'll lie about it
I'll pretend everything's okay
Wishing what they see is really me
My reality has come to this
Weighing me down with every smile
In the end it's the pain I miss
Without it I am only a child
I don't know how I continue to breathe
Knowing nothing is what it seems
So I'll take this pain away
And save it for another day
So now I'll cry about it
I'll pretend everything is fine
Wishing what I see is really me
My reality has come to this
Weighing me down with every smile
In the end it's the pain I miss
Without it I am only a child
Nothing's changed, I'm still the same
Trusting in dishonest things
I'll never understand
Never come back for anything
Eyes open wide
I almost didn't see
I told so many lies
Just take a chance on me
Move along, all's said and done
And I know I deserve to be alone
A new life's begun
All I can do is try
Eyes open wide
I almost didn't see
I told so many lies
Just take another chance on me
There's nothing left to say
Never imagined I'd be deserting you
Where do I go today
After I've left you behind
Eyes open wide
I almost didn't see
I told so many lies
Take another chance on me
Only Down the Street
by Erika Matthews
You seemed you were further than the ocean is deep
Yet you were only down the street
Like the air I breathe
Most days your presence has not left me
But for days now I've forgotten your touch
You've been gone
You've been far away
But only down the street
What have I done to cause this distance, this pain?
Is this out of my hands?
Is this out of yours?
Is this distance supposed to happen to us?
Prove to me this is just a dark dream
Show to me you're only down the street
And not as far as the ocean is deep
And not as far as the ocean is deep
Drowning in a sea of substance
Floating on an ocean of regret
Searing my life in the flames of dependence
Seeking a cure I haven't found yet
I'm searching my soul every day
Searching my soul to find my way
Dreams burned up like so many matches
I set my will to silence the screams
Uncertain of the path I will follow
Tears of sorrow fall in streams
I'm searching my soul every day
Searching my soul to find my way
I'm seeking a cure to go from diseased to pure
Searing, and I am
Seeking, and I am
Floating, and I am
Drowning, and I am
Searching my soul every day
Searching my soul to find a way
Always Reminded
by Rochelle Mayo
Receive what you give will always remind
The trust you instill is that which you find
The joy which you spread will always return
A lamp must be filled before it can burn
Receive what you give to friend or foe
A seed must be planted before it can grow
There must be a dream for it to come true
He would dare must learn how to do
Receive what you give, don't ever expect
Life to lend more than she can collect
All things are weighed on scales of love
He is left wanting what's found up above
Sitting by myself
Gazing at the endless night sky
Turn me into a bird
So that I could fly
Just give me wings
Wings like a dove
I'd fly to you
Fly from above
I'd take you away girl
Where it could be just us
We'd leave this world
And all of the fuss
We'd fly to my nest
Where you're all mine to hold
I'd take care of you girl
Keep you warm when you're cold
God's blessed me already
With too many things
But what we really need love
Is a pair of wings
I'd fly to you
Fly from above
I'd take you away girl
Where it could be just us
We'd leave this world
I'd take you away
The System
by Cliff Strickland
Is the justice system these days really correct and fair?
Do the cops, lawyers and judges even care?
Do expensive lawyers make you free?
Does it have to be based on race and not on me?
Does being young make you wrong?
Does it make your sentence not as long?
Do the right people end up in jail?
Do the wrong people get out on bail?
Do you have to follow the rules if you're a cop?
Because you're an authority does it put you on top?
If you believe in a different religion, do they just not care?
Are they racist because they don't believe or are they just unaware?
Why don't we do something if it's unfair?
Why do we just stand here, look and stare?
Is the justice system these days really correct and fair?
It's Your Fault
by Nikki Keller
I wish I wouldn't have been so selfish
Blaming you, telling you it was you and not me
I wish I could have seen you for you
And not for what I wanted you to be
I wish I would have seen your shy outcries
I wish I wouldn't have been so selfish
I wish I didn't take your love for granted
Now that it is over
There's not much I can do
But for everything there is a consequence
In which knowledge comes
Now I wish I could have a second chance
But really I wonder what would change
Now you're gone
What can I be?
Only me
World Pequeno
by Antonio Felipe
Days seem long and the distance endless
Singing the song of you and me
Days seem long and the distance endless
Sing the song of our future dreams
In a different place from you
Missing the charm of the words of the prophet
You tried to show me life
You tried to show me how the stars shine
And sometimes they're lost when the days brightness comes
Days seem long and the distance endless
Singing the song of you and me
Days seem long and the distance endless
Sing the song of our future dreams
I started to understand
To see the star that you showed at night
When darkness was surrounding
You are the person that has lived in fire
Flowers smell fresh
You are always in my heart
No matter where we are
Days seem long and the distance endless
Singing the song of you and me
Days seem long and the distance endless
Sing the song of our future dreams
Memories of yesterday
Memories of yesterday
The hill where I used to ride with you
You met on a train ride downtown
Got off at the same place
This time around
That's when you started it all
That's when you started this fall
Regret is all you have now
Regret is all you have now
Somehow
Regret is all there is for you
And you know it's true
Now you have nothing but regret
A couple years later you were
Pregnant and married
That marriage was sure not to last
You decide much too fast
Regret is all you have now
Regret is all you have now
Somehow
Regret is all there is for you
And you know it's true
Now you have nothing but regret
Marriage came and went
Stuck with two kids you were sent
Now you have nothing but regret
No kids to help
No husband to treat
Just regrets you will never meet
Now you have nothing but regret
Taken For Granted
by Beau Braman
You better appreciate what you got
'Cause it sure don't last forever
Every day is special
Asked if scared, no never
You gotta be thankful for your time
And treat life as a gift
Make a difference in a life
Give your hand for a lift
Live life like there won't be another
Spread love to your sister and your brother
If you stumble down and fall
Just remember to always give your all
Don't grieve for me for now I am free
I'm following the path God has laid for me
I took His hand when I heard His call
I turned back and I left it all
I'll see you when you get there
Up in Heaven
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I've found that peace at the close of the day
I'll see you when you get there
Up in Heaven
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it up with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah, yes. These things I too will miss
I want to see you when you get there
Up in heaven, way up high
Be not burdened in times of sorrow
I wish for you sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, I've savored so much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
I'll see you when you get there
Up in Heaven
Perhaps my time has been all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me
God wanted me now, he has set me free
I'll see you when you get there
Up in Heaven
Grow Up to Go Down
by Kelli McIntosh
I write my name on my hand so I can remember
What I'm supposed to look like
The curve near the middle
The straight lines at the end
I don't forget to cross my "t's" or dot my "i's"
Guess I'm a genius in disguise
Scratching my fingers against the chalkboard
It doesn't hurt me anymore
Guess I've gotten used to it
Just drones on like every other sound
Like the heartbeat I have
But rarely stop to hear
Now all at once you are near
So I look down at my hand to remember . . .
To memorize what I really am
It's all changing
I don't want to go
I'd rather stay at home
But you just take me away
Please tell me I can stay
It's all changing
They all say I've grown up
But I'm not done being a child
When I look at the clock
I wish I could stay a while
But you tell me I can't
Because now I'm too old
To cheat off my friends
Or glance down at my hand
It's not fair
I was at the top
But now I'm at the bottom again
Starting all over
It's all changing
