- A Whole Nother Trip
Part I: Bomb That Can't Explode
This used to be mine you know
Plenty of time and kindness overflowed
It was all right, then overnight
I was grown out of my happy home
Oh yeah
Transferred from school to school
- Author Of Confusion
Author of confusion you play inside my mind and I want to run
But where can I hide?
Author of confusion your aim is to confound 'til I do not know
Which is up or down?
Author of confusion you play inside my mind and I want to run
But where can I hide?
"Author of confusion you start an endless chase; thoughts start running 'round"
Never find their place
- Cradle To The Grave
Sometimes I don't understand
Why I was born at all
When all that I do leaves me empty
Aching and longing for more
Sometimes I feel I could stand
Man, I feel like I'm ten feet tall
But then it's like I'm on trial and I'm guilty
I don't know exactly what for
- God Won't Give Up
И так, ты думаешь, что Бог оставил тебя
Совсем одного в этом холодном мире.
Ты считаешь, что Он никогда не защитит тебя и уж точно не создавал тебя по своему образу и подобию.
И почему Он должен продолжать стараться помочь тому, кому уже так трудно помочь.
Ты думаешь, что твоя жизнь бессмысленна. Ты сам отказываешься от себя.
Но Бог не оставляет тебя, даже когда сам ты сдался.
Не смотря ни на что, неважно что ты сделал, Он по-прежнему любит тебя.
- God's Love
Try as you might, you can't understand it all
And you were living the life, but then came your tragic fall
And if God's love was real why the suffering?
But if you ask him to heal on a desert plain
He'll send the rain
The storms may weather, but He will never
God's love won't let you down
- Heaven In My Heart
All of me is down and the waiting days are over
I must face the crowd on a dark and dreary day
But there's something burning inside me
There's something deep within my heart
Telling me go on through
I am here with you, no matter where you are
So in my hour of pain and sorrow
- I Am Your Father
Sensitive boy, military father
Both of them needing something very badly from the other
They had no choice; they could not reach eachother
Now the boy's an angry man; he holds it in no longer
(He says) I could never win anything 'cause I already felt beaten
And you have always hated me so I guess now we're even
So look at me now - I'm not afraid to fight you man to man
- If I Only Had a Day
If I only had a year to live
I’d sell my junk for what I could get
And have myself a time or two
If I only had a year to live
We’d ride off into a fine sunset
And fall in love, just me and you
I’d take some time with my sons and my daughter
Try to impart
- Lifeline
Maker of the sun and shade
The plans were made before the morning
At a time when no one knew
He left a clue and sent us a lifeline... It's fine
Then along came a man like me
With everything laid out before him
Then it all came crashing down
- Mercy Street
Love knocked upon my door one day
In the midst of my suffering
Lost at the core I turned away
When the illusion meant everything
As the winter of my dreams died down
I turned to hear a different sound
In the house of the rising sun
- Nowhere Fast
There is this girl I know
She hates my guts I love her so
But I've got a simple mind
It thinks just this: she will be mine
I tell her "I like your dress"
She says I'm sick, disturbed, obsessed
Well I don't know what that's about
She won't say why she won't go out with me
- So Many Roads
Part I: So Many Roads
I came to a place in my life
When I looked out at many roads
There must be a way that'll deliver
I looked for the one that was right
Stood frozen in my soul
Show me the way of the believer
- The Conclusion
Part I: Randy's jam (Instrumental)

Part II: Long night's journey
I saw the light of a thousand angels taking it on the chin
I saw a hundred demons raging suffering blights upon there skin
Just as the woman lay deep in quicksand ready to take the dive
- The Conflict
Pt I: Do you know my name?
God took the Promised Land
And put it in my bloodstained hand
I can sell you grace for your soul
Or you'll burn in hell far below
I'm your priest, I'm your king, I'm a Saint
- The Creation
Part I: One Mind
Long before these brave new modern times
The first madman received the breath of life
He and woman walked this wonderland
Talking daily with the great I am
It had begun
- The Letter
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane.
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a coming home,
My Baby she wrote me a letter
I don't care how much I gotta to spend now
Gonna find my way, my way back home again
Lonely days are gone, I'm coming home,
- The Way Home
Running from a destiny I wasn't sure was mine
I chose a life of obscurity and I left my dreams behind
I traded my ambitions for the safe and simple life
But lately I feel far away and inside I feel like I
Can't find my way home
Can't find my way home
And if I stay here too long now
