Track Name: New Waters
Put a dime in the pocket of the lonely
Plant a thought in the mind of the young
Swim to the waters of the future
Bathe yourself from troubles passed

Take it back to the way that it was
Make it new and begin again
sip from the waters of renewal and swim

Deep below the shallow surface
Go beneath the islands that are blue
Down, down below the oId and shady gloom
and begin a new

Take it back to the way that it was
Make it new and begin again
sip from the waters of renewal and swim

New waters, New waters, New waters, New waters
New waters, New waters,
New waters, New waters, New waters
New waters, New waters, New waters, New waters
Track Name: Another Try
Some people say time heals the pain
And I believe this is true
I’ve always known this to be so
From aII the pain I’ve been through

So when you’re sure
Can’t go anymore
Remember my friend
There’s a whole new day
And if you just take the time to play
AIl your troubles will have gone away

Give it, give it another try (you know you want to)
Give it, give it another try (you know you want to)
Give it, give it another try

Some people say it doesn’t go away
Well I think they’re aII wrong
Some peoples’ pain drives them insane
But mine it just makes me strong

So when you’re sure
Can’t go anymore
Remember my friend
There’s a whole new day
And if you just take the time to play
AIl your troubles will have gone away

Give it, give it another try (you know you want to)
Give it, give it another try (you know you want to)
Give it, give it another try
Track Name: Leaving For Paris
(Oh Susannah, don't you cry and I’ll tell you why)
I made up my mind, yes I'm going away
Gonna leave this town behind
Gonna take a trip all around the world
Gonna see the other side

Time is running low, smile for me before you go
I'm Leaving, yes l'm leaving for Paris today

(Oh Susannah, don't you fIy and I’ll tell you why)
You're more than just a friend to me, your eyes see the things I see
AII the beauty of the world us will never be the same
Today is just a day to some, for me its the last one
TiI I see you and your face again

Time is running low, smile for me before you go
I'm Leaving, yes I'm leaving for Paris today

Barab bab bab bab barab ba
Barab bab bab bab barab ba
Barab bab bab bab barab ba
Bye bye

I’m a-leavin a-leavin a-leavin
I’m a-leavin a-leavin a-leavin
I’m a-leavin a-leavin a-leavin
Leaving for Paris today, today, today

Got a car to drive, got a plane to catch
Got a train to ride, to the other side
And if everything goes ok, I'm leaving for Paris
Today, Today, leaving for Paris Today
Track Name: That Song
When the dawn it breaks, and the earth it shakes
And the tide changes for the worst
When you wake from your sleep, with the secret that you keep
Maybe then you'll know what went wrong

Don't talk to me anymore
Don't come to me anymore, no
Don't talk to me anymore
‘Cause I've gone away, ‘cause I've gone away

When your heart it aches, then you'll see what it takes
To give the love that I gave
And when I'm gone, and you hear this song
Maybe then you'll know what I'm worth

Don't talk to me anymore
Don't come to me anymore, no
Don't talk to me anymore
Cause l've gone away, Cause l've gone away

l've gone, and I don't know if I’ll return
l've gone and I don't know if I’ll be back

When the dawn it breaks, and the earth it shakes
And the tide changes for the worst
When you wake form your sleep, very sick very weak
Maybe then you'll know what went wrong

Don't talk to me anymore
Don't come to me anymore, no
Don't talk to me anymore
‘Cause I've gone away, ‘cause I've gone away

I've gone, and I don't know if I’ll return
l've gone and I don't know if I’ll be back
Track Name: Caroline
Her name was Caroline, she was not from Georgia
Her eyes reflecting back, the grey bar aII around her
I saw her face from across the room, for a second I froze her

Last call it finally passed, and the bar began to empty
Bar stools and broken glass aII left there beside me
So I drank my last beer and it begged me to ask her

When will you know alI thats inside you?
When will you see the drank that it drowns you?
When will you know the little girl inside you?
When will you see what you mean to be?

She was the very last I saw in Atlanta
I drove away the very next day with it aII in my mirror
I still dream that scene I saw and it begs me to ask her

When will you know aII thats inside you?
When will you see the drink that it drowns you?
When will you know the little girl inside you?
When will you see what you mean to be?

When will you know aII thats inside you?
When will you see the drink that it drowns you?
When will you know the little girl inside you?
When will you see what you mean to be?
Track Name: Freedom
Freedom, something we aII need
A little space to spread out and breathe
Freedom, to make your own choice
To listen and to hear to your own voice

And if ever they try to take it away
Call on all the people of the world
To save you, to save you

Freedom, to go or to stay
To make mistakes along the way
Freedom, they can't take that away
We're born with it each and every day

And if ever they try to take it away
Call on all the people of the world
To save you, to save you

Freedom from society freedom from bureaucracy
Freedom from policy, freedom from diplomacy
Freedom from slavery, freedom from dependency

Freedom, something we alI need
A little space to spread out and breathe
Freedom, decisions to be made
You must choose the right way or the wrong

And if ever they try to take it away
Call on all the people of the world
To save you, to save you

Freedom from society freedom from bureaucracy
Freedom from policy, freedom from diplomacy
Freedom from slavery, freedom from dependency
Track Name: Confidence Song
Stand tall in the broken water, as the world falls apart
Hold true to what you believe in, hold it close to your heart
If you fall behind in the race, I’ll push you again to the start
So stand tall in the broken waters, and I promise we'll go far (because)

All you ever really need
ls someone to stand up and see
That you are not afraid
And all we ever really need
Is someone to stand up and say
That, yes, we’re All the same

And I, see the light as it pours from the dawn
And I, hear the wind as it calls from the sky
And I, feel the heat as it falls on my skin
And I, see the sun and happiness it's gonna come

All you ever really need, all you ever really need
All you ever really need...is a little confidence

Stair by stair you must climb, if you wish to reach the top
Step by step you must crawl, to get anywhere at all
And if I fall behind in the race, push me again to the start
Stand tall in the broken water, and I promise we'll go far (because)

All you ever really need
ls someone to stand up and see
That you are not afraid
And All we ever really need
Is someone to stand up and say
That, yes, we’re All the same

And I, see the light as it pours from the dawn
And I, hear the wind as it calls from the sky
And I, feel the heat as it falls on my skin
And I, see the sun and happiness it's gonna come

All you ever really need, All you ever really need
All you ever really need...is a little confidence
Track Name: A Little Time
Take a little time, close your eyes, don’t despair
May take little awhile, lose the past, breathe new air
You walked a different road, for better times
Was there ever really more at the end of the line?

Open up your eyes, look around, you’re home again
And it’s gonna take awhile. to realize, you’re home with friends
You ran to catch a dream, chase your rainbow’s end
When you grabbed ahold, it slipped right from your hand

A little time to open up your mind
A little time to read between the lines
A little time, a little time to start again
A little to mend your broken dreams
A little time to sew up aII those seams
A little time, a little time to start again

Take a little time, take a little time, take a little time
Take a little time, take a little time, take a little time
Take a little time, take a little time, take a little time
Take a little time, take a little time, take a little time
Track Name: Horseback Rider
Horseback rider hiding in the corner
Beads of sweat pouring from your shoulder
Screaming chaos, yelling out disorder
Going down and now you're going under

Save me, from the poison
Save me, you cried
Save you, from the poison
Save you, I tried

Tried so hard to keep you from it aIl
Was pushed away, scolded, laughed and fought
Best for me to leave you to your island
Horseback rider you will ride it out

Save me, from the poison
Save me, you cried
Save you, from the poison
Save you, I tried

Direction was alI I had to give
Showing you a simpler way to live
Love you brother, but you'll soon find
Only you can save yourself this time

Save me, from the poison
Save me, you cried
Save you, from the poison
Save you, I tried

Save me, from the poison
Save me, you cried
Save you, from the poison
Save you, I tried
Track Name: Around In Awhile
Sittin’ on the grass in the summertime, playing my guitar
Night time comes, be laying in the shade, checkin’ out the stars
Walking with a friend on a rainy day, takes me from this place
Listen in to crickets in the meadow singing, puts a smile on my face

And if I close my eyes tonight
You know I’ll be thinking about what to say
Got a feelin’ deep inside, aII I wanna do is play
Spend my money drinkin’, fine music, Iovin’, havin’ good times
And if you listen to my sound you know I’m comin’

Round-n-round-n-round-n-round-n-round-in
just-a-just-a-just-a-just-just-awhile
Round-n-round-n-round-n-round-n-round-in
just-a-just-a-just-a-just-just-awhile

And if you’re ever feelin’ down and lonely (yeah yeah)
There’s a place where you can hide (mmm)
It’s not far away, it’s in your own mind

Sittin’ on the grass in the summertime, playing my guitar
Night time comes, be laying in the shade, checkin’ out the stars
Walking with a friend on a rainy day, takes me from this place
Listen in to crickets in the meadow singing, puts a smile on my face

And if I close my eyes tonight
You know I’ll be thinking about what to say
Got a feelin’ deep inside, aII I wanna do is play
Spend my money drinkin’, fine music, Iovin’, havin’ good times
And if you listen to my sound you know I’m comin’

Round-n-round-n-round-n-round-n-round-in
just-a-just-a-just-a-just-just-awhile
Round-n-round-n-round-n-round-n-round-in
just-a-just-a-just-a-just-just-awhile
