What the World Needs Now

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'Till the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

Lord we don't need another meadow
There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen Lord if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
No not just for some but for everyone

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now is love, sweet love
What the world needs now...

The Climb

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

My Little Girl

Verse 1:
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go.
Gonna tell you how much I love you,
though you think you already know.
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm.
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born.

Chorus:
Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl.

Verse 2:
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone.
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown.
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You!" in the moonlight at your door.
As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More!".

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3:
Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.
I know he'll say that he's in love.
But between you and me.
He won't be good enough!

(Repeat Chorus)

The Woman in Me

I'm not always strong
And sometimes I'm even wrong

But I win when I choose

And I can't stand to lose

But I can't always be

The rock that you see

When the nights get too long

And I just can't go on

The woman in me

Needs you to be

The man in my arms

To hold tenderly

Cause I'm a woman in love

And it's you I run to

Yeah the woman in me

Needs the man in you

When the world wants too much

And it feels cold and out of touch

It's a beautiful place

When you kiss my face

Live with Jesus

Seen a lot of trouble at my door

I've never known a day when I ain't been poor

But I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end

Hard times is all I see

I've lost the ones that are dear to me

But I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live

I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end

These poor bones are tired and old

Meet my savior, redeem my soul

Cause I'm gonna live with Jesus

I'm gonna live with Jesus

I'm gonna live with Jesus in the end

Everyday America

Grew up on a tightrope, learned to smile

Even when I was falling down

Daddy had a hard hand and Mama always had hope

And me and my sister couldn't wait to get out

Fell in love out of collageGood man for the bad year

Visions of sugarplums and boxes of roses

All my girlfriends cried and I was outta here

Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big

Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by

That's how it goes in everyday AmericaA

little town and a great big light

Joey stares at a trophy

Took us all the way to state back in '85

A shining moment and a dusty reminder

He never felt so scared, he never felt so alive

We found his toys in the backyard

Daddy's boys, yeah, you know how they like to fight

When they sleep, he swears they're angels

He wouldn't trade a day for all those Friday nights

Oooh, whoa, everybody's dreaming big

Oooh, whoa, but everybody's just getting by

That's how it goes in everyday America

A little town and a great big light

We can laugh, we can cry

We're all just looking for the reasons why

In a place of dark can we see the light

Either way it'll be alright

My sister

Hey girl it's me i just called to tell you hi

Call me when you get this

Haven't talked lately so hard to find the time

Give the boys a big kiss

Tell them that I miss them

By the way I miss you too

I was thinking just today

About how we used to play

Barbie dolls and make-up

Tea parties dress up

I remember how we'd figh

tWe made up and laughed all night

Wish we were kids again

My sister my friend

Oh yeah before I forget I met someone

I think I really like him

I was wondering if I'm jumping the gun

By going out on a limb

And invite him home for Christmas

To meet the family

Seem like just yesterday

You brought home old what's his name

He had been drinking

What were you thinking

After dinner he passed out

We can laugh about it now

We've learned a lot since then

My sister my friend

Do you think you could come and see me sometime soon

We could just hang out like we used to

It's late and I should go

But I can'y hang up the phone

Until I tell you

What I don't tell you enough

Even though at times it seemed

We were more like enemies

I'd do it all again

My sister my friend

The banana boat song

Life is a Highway

Life Is A Highway

Life's like a road that you travel on

When there's one day here an' the next day gone

Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand

Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door

Where blues won't haunt you anymore

Where brave are free an' lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

Ta' break down the garden gate

There's not much time left today,

Chorus:

Life is a highway

I wanna ride it all night long

If you're going my way

Well, I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities an' all these towns

It's in my blood an' it's all around

I love you now like I loved you then

This is the road an' these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down, an' back up again

You're in my blood

I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold

Road so rough, this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

There was a distance between you an' I

A misunderstanding once

But now we look it in the eye

You Got a Friend in Me

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

When the road looks rough ahead

And you're miles and miles

From your nice warm bed

You just remember what your old pal said

Boy, you've got a friend in me

Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

If you've got troubles,I've got 'em too

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you

We stick together and can see it through

Cause you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be

A little bit smarter than I am

Bigger and stronger too

Maybe

But none of them will ever love you

The way I do, it's me and you

Boy, and as the years go by

Our friendship will never die

You're gonna see it's our destiny

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

A dream ...

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep

Have faith in your dreams

And someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true

"Long Black Train"

There's a long black train

comin' down the line

feeding off the souls

of the lost and cryin'

rails of sin only evil remains

watch out brother for that long black train.

2.You can look to the heavens

you can look to the sky

you can find redemption starin'

back into your eyes

there is protection

and there's peace the same

watchout brother for that long black train.

Chorus

Cause there's victory in the Lord I say

victory in the Lord

cling to the father and His holy name

and don't go ridin' on that long black train!

3.There's an engineer on that long black train

makin' you wonder if your ride is worth the pain

he's just a waitin' for your heart to say

let me ride on that long black train.

4.I can hear that whistle from a mile away

it sounds so good but I must stay away

that train is a beauty makin' everybody stare

but it's only destination is the middle of nowhere!
