I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes And I'm swinging hard, always hoping that I strike gold But you walk by and it's like you've got your eyes closed And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up And you took my breath like water in my lungs But I would die to be somebody you could love Oh I never know just what to say, so I keep shut It's like I'm always too afraid I'm gonna freeze up And if I try too hard, then it's too much But if I don't start soon, I'm gonna lose touch It's just the way you give me too much to choose from And I don't mean to intrude But I'm dying to reach you So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love Oh Oh Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'cause I only want your love Don't remind me I could never be enough Stay beside me 'cause I only want your love I've been staring at the world from a tightrope Worried sick but I'm hanging on to high hopes So can I try to be somebody you could love? I don't know if I could ever measure up But you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love Oh Oh Yeah, you took my breath like water in my lungs And I would die to be somebody you could love

I am fairly well now I am strong I am goodbye I'm a Long way from home I am an orchard at the Start of spring I am a mocking bird I Love to sing And I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I am an old road Walkin' on my feet I am laughingly The weeping willow tree I am a dog barking and a Honeybee sting I ain't no angel but I Got my wings I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I am movin' I am Flesh and bones I am a gunshot with a Microphone I'm a boy at the window as the summer sun sets An old man in winter nothin' more nothin less I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fly

Light in the morning Coffee in my cup The sound of your footsteps waking me up The face of an old friend You haven't seen in years Stories turn to songs, laughter to tears These things aren't a given They're a gift to behold Like the first leaves of autumn Our breath in the cold Gratitude Sometimes all you need is Gratitude Try and hold on to your hands in the garden The smile of a child Swimming in the river Walking the last sweet mile The first crack of thunder, the heavenly rain All that gets taken And all that remains These things aren't a given They're a gift to behold Like the first sip of whiskey And dancing real slow Gratitude Sometimes all you need is Gratitude Just try and hold on to The city lights Sunrise, long drives Late nights, shady groves The love we know Isn't that what matters most? These things aren't a given They're the heartbeats of time A songbird in the wind The wind in the pines Gratitude Gratitude Try and hold on to Gratitude Sometimes all you need is Gratitude So, try and hold on to it

Fireside conversations Bourbon on our breath Laughter in the kitchen The children make a mess From the front porch to the backyard Tragedy in between It's a New Year It's a new song It's the same mystery We talk about your brother Stories left unheard You share blood but you don't share words Same room on Holidays No apologies It's a New Year It's a new song It's the same mystery Cool of October We feel the sorrow of St. Jude Void between strangers as the clock quickly moves It's a long way from paradise A long way from Eden's Tree It's a New Year It's a new song It's the same mystery Six months turns to six years Time is like a ghost Lost in my mind again Yet suddenly I'm alone That loneliness comes and goes It speaks harsh words to me It's a New Year It's a new song It's the same mystery Walking through my neighborhood I have nothing left to say Life and death they never rest And I still got bills to pay On earth as is in heaven Don't make sense to me It's a New Year It's a new song It's the same mystery It's a New Year It's a new song It's the same mystery
