OPEN ROAD

You know I loved you from the very first

You know it felt like a raincloud burst

We’ve had our hard times

We’ve always pulled through

You know it’s always been me and you

You know I wanted that fairytale end

Had all the pieces lined up and then

Had to learn the hard way

Sometimes things they go a different way

Chorus

And now you’re standing at the back door

What are you waiting for?

It’s not so easy with suitcase in hand

To change your future

Walk away from your past

I should’ve seen it in a million ways

Faded eyes in a distant face

Took it for granted you’d stay by my side

Now I see my sin was my pride

Chorus

So don’t walk away

Come back and stay

Things can always change

So don’t walk away

Come home and stay

I can always change

So walk away from that back door

What are you waiting for?

It’s not so easy with suitcase in hand

To change your future

Walk away from your past

So don’t walk away

Come home and stay

Just walk away

From that back door

Let’s dance the night away

It’s been another lonely day

But I know with you in my arms

Some of that pain will go away

Now I know that he left you

In the worst way he could

And you still grieve

And I know that you should

But life goes on

And I just want to see you

Smile again

Let’s dance the night away

Now I know I’m not the one

Your friends would like

They’d point to my past

And boy, they’d be right

But I want you to know

I’ve left that darkness behind

Let’s dance the night away

And when morning comes

We’ll watch the sun rise

I can’t make no promises

You know that better than I

But if hope wore wings

We’d leave this old world

Far behind

And dance the night away

Let’s dance the night away

It’s been another lonely day

But I know with you in my arms

Some of that pain will go away

And I hope with you in my arms

Some of your pain will go away

Yellow dreams and a yellow taxi

Gonna pile my cares inside

But fear wells up before my eyes

I walk back inside

Blue nights in a blue lagoon

I see my reflection staring next to you

Chorus

Oh girl don’t you be afraid now

You know it can’t be worse than what you

Are doing to you

Red hearts in a red hotel room

Seems a hundred years from now

When I gave my love to you

And we said our vows

Chorus

It’s okay, don’t you be afraid

It’s alright, it just takes some time

To find that white light

You’re gonna find that white light

Buried inside

Green leaves make a green umbrella

In the sky above your eyes

There’s a sweetness in the air

On this mountainside

Chorus

Don’t do it to you

Copyright: Zimrah Music

There’s an angry man, there’s an angry woman

There’s a taxi pulling up at the drive

There’s a suitcase packed

A mouthful of words

You’ll never ever get back inside

There’s a small child at the top of the stairs

Just watching the scene that unfolds

But she’ll tiptoe back to her bedroom

Just like every other time before

Chorus

Oh take it away baby

Gotta take this pain away

‘cos lately its all I feel inside, lately

Gotta take this pain away

There’s an angry man, there’s an angry woman

Can we get past all this pain?

Why must we keep on hurtin’

Why can’t we just let this thing fade?

Chorus

Oh I’ll be the man

And you, you be the lady

Oh I’ll pay the money, honey

Please just let me see

My little baby, oh yeah

Chorus

Copyright: Zimrah Music

I’m looking for a new start

Far away from what’s bringing me down

Baby it’s been too long now

To play those games again

Chorus

Oh I’m going to shake it off

And take that downtown train uptown

Funny how things go down

How the years just roll on by

Well you can move away

That don’t mean your problems gonna fade

Chorus

There’s a city buzz I need

People in the street

Something in the air up there

That’s so busy, wild and free, yeah

Don’t think the suburban life

Is gonna give me what I need

Gotta shake it off and take

That downtown train uptown

I’m looking for a new start

Far away from what’s bringing me down

Baby it’s been too long now

To play those games again

I’ve gotta shake it off

And take that downtown train uptown

Oh I gotta shake it off and take that Downtown train

,That downtown train

Uptown

Oh yeah 

I gotta go uptown

Copyright: Zimrah Music

It took some time before I understood

Pushing back don’t always do you no good

Comes a time when you got to set yourself free

Just let it go and just let things be, yeah

Sometimes you want to fight

For what you know is right

Don’t want to get pushed down low, oh no

But sometimes there comes a time

When you gotta step on back and just let things go

Chorus

Just let things go

You know you don’t always have control

You’ve done all you can

Its outta your hands

Just let it go

Here’s a clue

Which I have found to be of help

When everything just seems to fail, yeah 

Just let it go

And watch it lose its hold over you, over you

Chorus

And when you realize it’s not all in your hands

Ad you’ve come to the end of that road, oh 

And when you know that you have done all that you can

Just give it to Him to solve

And just let it go, yeah, just let it go

Chorus

 Let it go, what are you fighting for?.

Baby baby when you look at me that way

What do you want, do you want for me to say?

Its 10 pm on a Saturday night

And I’m feeling alright

But your eyes on me tell me

There’s something you don’t see

You know I love you

But I’m tired of these games

You know I’m straight up even when I’m made up

Wearing heels in bright red

Chorus

I don’t care what your friends think

Or the folks back at home

I just want you to know

I don’t settle low

So maybe try and love me

With an open heart

‘cos if you’re gonna judge me

Well we’re better off apart

So baby baby won’t you try and treat me right

You know I can’t be what I’m not

And why should I have to start?

Chorus

I just want you to know

I don’t settle low

How many times can you say

You’re leaving today

Before you make your move?

I know that it’s hard

Leaving it all behind

But you know that open road she’s calling you

Chorus

That open road she sings

Her own sweet song

A song of life renewed

And if you’re brave

You know you’ll take that way

Maybe change your luck

Or change your fate yeah

So take that open road

The one that’s been calling out to you

Take a new path

To open up your life

Knowing He’s looking out for you

How many times will you try

To deny and to hide

To bury your head in the sand

Well something it ends

And something begins

It’s the truth in all of our lives

Chorus

Take that open road

Take that open road

Take that open road

Take that open road

Summer came and summer went

Before I could

Do all the things I’d promised myself

Like I knew I should

Then winter came and everything changed

I just sit by the fire

Reeling in some kind of pain

Everything just fading away

Chorus

I’m going down down down

Walking on the edge

Gotta turn it around round round my friends

What you reap is what you sow

Words can heal or lay you low

But I’m getting one more chance to go

I’m going round again

Springtime came, the flowers bloom

Doc said you’ll get well soon

So I took that trip down to Tennessee, yeah

Listened to the music man

Giving thanks that I still can

Tapping my feet to the beat of his song

Chorus

Summers here and I’m packing my bags

Don’t know if I’m happy or sad

Just gonna have to put my trust in You

Something tells me I’m not gonna know

Just gonna have to let the thing go

And hold on to this song

Chorus

This Christmastime

I’m not going to hide

Gonna open up my heart and mind

Gonna find a quiet place

Sit down and pray

This Christmastime

I’m gonna find my way

Too many years

I’ve spent running, running

Looking for the things I thought I’d need

But now I see,

With all that running, running

All I’ve got is

I’m just running out of time

This Christmastime

 I wanna feel Your Love

I wanna feel Your comfort and Your care

What can I do 

To bring my world close to You?

This Christmas Time

 I need to hear, oh yeah

And maybe some spark ignites

 And maybe I’ll know what’s right

And maybe You’ll let Your evening star 

Send me some guiding light

And maybe I’m stripped away

With no ego to bring me pain

And maybe I’m just an empty field now

Waiting for the rain, yeah

 Just waiting for the rain oh yeah, 

Waiting for Your rain/Reign

This Christmastime 

I’m not gonna hide, no

I’m gonna open up my heart and mind

Gonna find a quiet place

Sit down and pray

‘cos this Christmastime

I wanna find my way

Oh this Christmastime

 I wanna find my way to You

Oh this Christmastime

I wanna find my way

Little child

You are a holy one

Someone who’s quite unique

Born into an upside down world

You can help make it right

Little child

There’s a Light in you

Something that burns so bright

While others choose a darker path

You know you don’t need to

Little child

You are a holy one

Beautiful and free

From something Greater you have come

So keep that spark alive

And if you’re feeling alone and sad

Or maybe a little confused

Remember He doesn’t make mistakes

That’s why you are

You always are

A holy child

Little child

You are a holy one

Don’t you believe anything less

Born into this upside down world

You can help make it right

Oh you can help make it right

You can help us make it right

Oh please help us make it right

Top down low

The breeze is sweet

Engine humming underneath our feet tonight

Tonight

Across that bridge

And we’re flying high

City lights below and the music so fine

So fine

Chorus

And something’s coming over me

‘cos we’re exactly where we’re s’posed to be

Where everything turned out fine

Where everything turned out fine

And you know we’ve earned this right ‘cos We’ve paid our dues

Did everything we could

As best as we knew how

As best as we knew how

Chorus

And we won’t stop now

‘cos the road is so long

And we’ve still got one thousand songs

Moments like this

Well they don’t come cheap

Hit the gas

Feel that beat, yeah, yeah

Chorus

Yeah everything 

Yeah everything

 Has turned out fine

It's so fine, it’s so fine, tonight, yeah, yeah

Chorus
