I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book of Jesus 'Til I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again And I can still remember him with love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Never mind the forecast 'cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my ragin' soul And now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go I never wanted to go Mama, I never wanted to go

Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing, you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me

Mother, you had me But I never had you I wanted you But you didn't want me So I, I just gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Father, you left me But I never left you I needed you You didn't need me So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Children, don't do What I have done I couldn't walk But I tried, I tried to run So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Mama, mama don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go

The sun is shining, the grass is green The orange and palm tree sway There's never been such a day In Beverly Hills, L.A But it's December the twenty-fourth And I am longing to be up North I'm dreaming of white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow Oh, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white (And may all your Christmases be white)

I want to learn what life is for I don't want much, I just want more Ask what I want and I will sing I want everything (everything) I'd cure the cold and the traffic jam If there were floods, I'd give a dam I'd never sleep, I'd only sing Let me do everything (everything) I'd like to plan a city, play the cello Play at monte carlo, play othello Move into the white house, paint it yellow Speak portuguese and duch And if it's not too much I'd like to have the perfect twin One who'd go out as I came in I've got to grab the big brass ring So I'll have everything (everything) I'm like a child who's set free At the fun fair Every ride invites me And it's unfair Saying that I only Get my one share Doesn't seem just I could live as I must If they'd Give me the time to turn a tide Give me the truth if once I lied Give me the man who's gonna bring More of everything Then I'll have everything Everything

This is a christmas lullaby To steal you softly into dreaming A simple christmas lullaby I sing to you each passing year The world is wrapped In joy and wonder In silent mystery And in this spell that we are under Blessing surround our hearts completely This is a christmas lullaby For someone lovely as snow falling I sing your christmas lullaby To cradle you with all my love Let peace on earth be yours tonight Under a star that shines so bright The world is wrapped In joy and wonder In silent mystery And in this spell that we are under Blessing surround our hearts completely Now close your eyes and as you sigh Make up a christmas wish to dream on And like the moon that shines on high Send out your wish Up to that star in the sky Blessed by this christmas lullaby
