1. _ When She's Gone
She has a light and a faith that won't die.
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive.
She has a pretty young daughter back home
who'll soon start to cry when she's gone.
When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone.
Now she spends her days with a mission to live.
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive.
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when she's gone.
When she's gone. She's gone. When she's gone.
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps.
(Smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when we'll all finally meet.
She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know.
We hope we never know.
We sit together and talk about our faith.
We play a game where we'll sing all our troubles away.
Though she's glad to be with me,
she knows darm well that her next life awaits when she's gone.
Oh, when she's gone.
When she's gone.
When she's gone, she's gone. She's gone.
She's gone away. She's gone away.
She's gone. She's gone. When she's gone.
Oh, no. (When she's gone)
Oh, she's gone.
I know she's gone. (When she's gone)

2. _ Alright
She's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, she's always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
I'm so confused.
She's not amused.
'Cause I do way too much thinking.
It's not supposed to be this hard.
So, she calls me out and there's no doubt that I do way too much drinking.
I guess it's got me through this far.
When my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.
Sometimes I think, hell, what's the use of going on?
But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, she's always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
I heard the news.
I just refuse to believe that we were sinking.
Still can't believe they went that far.
So, I start to shout, but I'm all cried out and still doing way too much thinking.
Can't seem to scrape away those scars. no.
And, if my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.
Sometimes I think, hell, what's the use of going on?
But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, she's always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright. Alright.
I think I can finally see what she's been telling me.
It's all inside my head.
I guess I knew it all along.
And, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, she's always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that it's all in me.
But, she's always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, she's always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

3. _ Tears Fall Down
Now I see the time we had before
is just a passing moment that we can't share anymore.
And I've learned that written words are not the same
as when you take the time to say it
and let the clouds release the rain.
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friends.
Yesterday's just something I can't mend.
And I broke down for my lost brother and I've died for mama, too.
Now my tears fall down for you. For you.
And I say one thing each day before I lay me down.
I thank god for your sweet smile although you're not around.
And I can't overcome your memory in my mind.
It's a bridge I'll never cross until the end of time.
And I wish my dreams alone would bring back my old friend.
But, yesterday's just something I can't mend.
'Cause I've broke down for my lost father and I've cried for sister, too.
Now my tears fall down for you. For you. You.

4. _ The Rain Song
I don't think about us much anymore.
Frankly, the topic has become a bore.
And you don't come up much in my conversations.
And I don't think about you on vacation.
Oh, but when it rains.
When it rains. When it rains.
That's when I remember. (I remember)
That's when I remember. (I remember)
I remember you. (Oh, I remember you)
I remember you.
I don't think about you when I'm sleeping.
Oh, it doesn't even cross my dream-like mind. (Oh)
And I don't think I see your face through the curtain.
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time. (Half the time)
Oh, when it rains. When it rains. When it rains.
That's when I remember. (I remember)
Yeah, that's when I remember. (I remember)
I remember you. (Oh, I remember you)
I remember you.
Rain, rain, go away.
I'm doing fine as long as you stay locked up inside a cloud of grey.
Rain, rain. Rain, rain, rain. Rain, rain. Rain. Rain!
'Cause when it rains. Yeah, when it rains. When it rains.
That's when I remember. (I remember)
Yeah, that's when I remember. (I remember)
I remember you. (I remember)
I remember you. (I remember you)
That's when I remember. (I remember)
The only time I remember. (I remember)
I remember you. (Oh, I remember you) I remember you.

5. _ Space
I see it inside your eyes,
feel it in your soul.
A part of you is moving on,
the other half is gone.
I don't know what you want from me,
no, you lock it all inside.
I try to give you everything,
but there's nothing else that I can hide.
We've been trying so long.
You've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.
The house we share is not a home when you're inside it.
So, now, I go and pack my things, girl,
I must be moving on.
I couldn't stand to face you,
so I, I guess that's why I wrote this song.
You've been trying so long.
We've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
Oh, oh, oh, we've been trying so long.
You've been pushing too hard.
You should say what's wrong and echo what's right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
You need a little space and I need mine.

6. _ Innocence
What else can I do when the tears have all been wasted?
And the only voice you choose to hear
sings the songs of our hearts breaking.
Say your dreams, they all have changed.
Well, my smiles, they all have faded.
And the thoughts that used to seem so pure in my heart,
they now feel jaded.
Because I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
What else can it be except this pride I'm sick of drinking.
Storm clouds all have gone away.
Can we stop this thing from sinking?
Because I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
And I want you to know,
and to feel in your soul,
that someone has come and gone.
I'm stuck up here with you.
I never thought we'd get this high.
I used to be afraid of falling.
Now I'll spred my wings and I will fly.
I wanna feel like I did.
And I wanna feel innocence.
I wanna feel like I did.
Oh, and I wanna feel innocence, oh. I...

7. _ I'll Come Runnin'
It's been such a long time
since I haven't seen your face.
There's a tear on your cheek
where your smile used to be 'cause I'm going away.
We had such a good time,
though we knew this day might come.
So when you hold me tonight, squeeze a little tighter
'cause in the morning, I'll be gone.
And, I tell you, baby, now, I might be long.
But, I'll come runnin'.
I'll come runnin' home.
I'll come runnin' home to you.
I'll come runnin' (I'll come runnin').
I'll come runnin' home (I'll come).
I'll come runnin' home to you.
It's already 5 AM.
We haven't got much sleep just yet.
Sun is rising.
I wish I could make time stand still.
I look in your eyes, now, love and I don't know what to say.
The words, the words.
And if you say you'll wait me for me, now, I know you'll try.
But, I'll come runnin'.
I'll come runnin' home.
I'll come runnin' home to you, you.
I will come runnin' home (I'll come runnin').
I'll never leave you alone, girl (I'll come).
I'll always come runnin' home to you. You.
I (I'll come runnin') (I'll come)
I will, I will, I will,
I will come home and I'll always come home right to you.
(I'll come runnin')
No matter what I did, no matter what I do. (I'll come)
I'll always. I'll always come runnin' home.
I'll always come runnin' home to you.
I'll come runnin'. I'll come. I'll come runnin'. I'll come.

8. _ Show Me Your Heart
You always ask for flowers and candy, baby,
never knowing I was your chocolate rose.
You always tell me that you like what I'm wearing,
but you think I look better here without any clothes.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
You play a game of attack and surrender.
Always leaving me halfway there.
Well I've got something that you should remember.
Until you draw blood, baby, nobody cares.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Sometimes I'd swear you were from Venus, now, oh.
If I didn't already know your type.
You'd rather tell me you're an angel, darling,
then show me by floating gracefully by.
Get out of my head. Show me your heart.
Get out of my head, oh. And, show me your heart.
Get out, get out, get out of my head.
Yeah, and show me your heart.
Show me your, oh.
Get out of my head. And, show me your heart.

9. _ Woody
Can you see me there when I'm standing alone?
How did you know I needed you here?
Can you feel the screams from the depth of my soul?
Is that what makes you appear?
See, I often wonder, in the presence of this all,
what we did to become this way.
And, I'll never forget when you whispered to me.
You said, don't worry it'll be ok.
Sometimes the sun calls our names.
And, sometimes we listen.
Sometimes the devil's there, but we just can't go with him.
Can you hear me now when I'm standing this close?
Can I tell you one of my fears?
See, I hope you live to sing when I die,
'cause if you're gone, I don't think I want to be here no more.
'Cause sometimes the sun calls our names.
And, sometimes we listen.
And, sometimes the devil's there,
but we just can't go with him.
Sometimes the sun calls our names, oh, no.
Sometimes we listen.
Sometimes the devil's there,
but we just can't go with him.

10. _ Little Darlin'
Hello, little darlin'.
Can't see why you're cryin'.
Don't even know why you came by so soon.
And I know that you love me.
Remember that you left me.
Why were you so afraid of the truth?
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no.
Hello, how you doing?
Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through.
So sit down at my table.
We'll talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue.
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...)we'll be alright again.
Now, I told you right from the start
that I don't want to play the part of being the blame for a brokenhearted fool.
And, now that I don't see you much,
I wish that we had stayed in touch.
I don't know what I would say or what you think I would do.
Now, no, no. Now, no, no. Now, no. Now, no, no. Now, no, no. (Ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (Ah...) you'll be alright again.
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how we'll be alright again.

11. _ Deeper Side
I've found a reason to dig deep down.
There's a part of you that I ain't found that's in your deeper side.
Instead of wondering what I should do,
I tried to learn a couple things about you from your deeper side.
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
that I would give most anything to see.
There's a lot of things that I would know
if you would let me climb into your soul and see your deeper side.
Everybody always seems so pure,
then they show you what their heart stands for in their deeper side.
Show me your, yeah. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
I would give most anything to see.
You think the world has got your number now.
You cry about it but you know somehow it's your deeper side.
I heard you wishing you were someone else
but all that's stopping you from being yourself is your deeper side.
So, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Please, show me your deeper side. (Show me your deeper side)
Oh, show me your deeper side. (It's a mystery)
I would give most anything, and, I would give most anything.
You would give most anything to see.
Show me your deeper side.

12. _ Little Brother
How you gonna say what you can and can't do,
sitting in the crib, parked in front of the tube.
You're mad at the world like she owe you,
What you think opportunity's gonna come looking for you?
Not a damn thing changed.
You're just another football waiting to be tossed in the game.
You're flossing again,
you talk a good game, but you're still trying hard to maintain.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Everyday you're out slinging that thing.
No worries or cares of what your mama may say.
Trying to get what you want in your life.
The cars, the clothes, the hos, the ice.
Not a damn thing changed.
You're still another football waiting to be tossed in the game.
You're flossing again,
you talk a good game,
but you're still struggling hard to maintain.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, no, a ship can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours if you want her,
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Everything you want could be yours if you were just to try.
All the troubles that you feel will fade away like shooting stars across the sky.
All the dreams I hope you feel soon, someday, shall be fulfilled.
Time is moving rapidly.
Don't let it pass you by, yeah.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is yours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, no,
a ship (you know we gotta love one another now) can't sail without the water.
The world could be yours (world is yours) if you want her, (world is ours)
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, a ship can't sail without the water, no.
The world could be yours if you want her (the world is yours),
but you gotta be willing to go out and get it.
When you get it, keep winning.
Little brother, get it now, a ship can't sail without the water...

13. _ Go and Tell Him (Soup Song)
I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what you say about him.
All I know is you're some kind of woman,
and, it won't be tonight,
but, girl, you're gonna give in.
Go and give him his walking papers.
Tell him things that he never knew.
Don't you hear what your new man's saying, girl?
Don't you know what you've got to do now?
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
You can't say that you don't think about me late at night, lying in your bed.
Stirring the soup
and you start to think about the times that we had
and the times that I said now.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
I don't care about your man's reputation.
I don't care what your man's gonna do.
You can tell that you're gonna come running, baby.
I can tell that you're gonna come soon.
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him, nah, you can't see him again. (You can't see him right now)
Go and tell him you can't see him again.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
Go and tell him that you are gone.
I said, go and tell him that you are gone.
Go, you can tell.
Go and tell him girl.
Let him know you're coming home with me tonight.
Oh, oh, oh.
