1. _ Once
Once embraced, can't ever be let go
Once revealed, can't ever be not shown
Once believed, can't ever lose faith
Once shared, can't ever be separate
Once sown, once can't ever be not reaped
Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
I can feel it inside of me
Feel it, can you feel it
Once born, can't ever be not conceived
Once present, can't ever be past
Once first, once can't ever be not everlast
Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it, can you believe it
Have you ever been touched
Once really touched
Could it ever be too much
Can you tell me
Once seen, can't ever lose sight
Once dawn, can't ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can't ever be untouched
The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it's greater than everything
See it, can you see it
Have you ever been touched
Once really touched
Could it ever be too much
Can you tell me
Have you ever really touched
Love once

2. _ One I Want
Poorman, he just want a little
Richman, wanna little bit more
Superman, he looking for lois
Salesman, try and sell you his soul
Fatman, he ordering seconds
Pizzaman, just wanna slice
Badman, looking for attention
A goodman, he's hard to find
Milkman, looking more like your daughter
Strawman, don't have a leg to stand on
Gayman, looking for another
Candyman, yeah the candyman can
Blackman, he looking for justice
Whiteman, trying to get a tan
Woman, she belong in first class
Holyman, take me to the promise land
Everyone looking for something
Wanting their piece of the pie
Searching for their slice of heaven
I gotta have mine, yeah mine
And you're the one i want, the one i want
The only one i want, the one i want
Yeah, the one i want, the one i want
The only one i want, the one i want
Boogieman, he giving me the creeps
Sandman, kicking mud in your eye
Pianoman, in the mood for a melody
Strongman, yeah he knows how to cry
Apeman, ain't nobody's uncle
A luckyman don't always know who they are
Deadman, living for tomorrow
Wiseman, following a star
I ain't saying i'm different
Wanting my pie in the sky
I'm just a little impatient
Until i get mine, yeah mine

5. _ From Afar
If i cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside
If i cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near
And i know not what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, i only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar
If i cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the
Sweetness of your breath
If i cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm
And safe from harm
Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence
There's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, i'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I'll just, i'll just love you
From afar
There must be a better way
A better way of passing the time
'cause' i can't seem to get her out
Get her out of my mind

6. _ Josephina
Josephina
There's so much i want to know
I've known you for all of mine
But not all of yours
You're not a stranger
No, nothing could be further
I look back and i wonder
What you were like, long before
Josephina
If i asked you, would you tell me?
The fact from the fancy
And the dreams in between
Tell me a story
All about yours truly
Photographs from the past
Imagine, the mystery
Did your head get lost in a daydream
Cinderella, waiting for her charming
Did you break a heart, like little girls often do?
Pigtails and painted toes
All dressed up in your mother's clothes
Can you shine the light
Can you shine the light
Please can you shine some light
Can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow
Josephina
Would you lay down your defenses?
So i can make sense of
Those colors fading to grey
It's not that you're hiding
That's something, i'd never imply
Yesteryear may be gone
Can't say the same for today
How else am i to know, that all the while
There was a mischievous look, behind the smile
It's hard to tell, when innocence comes and goes
I'm sure that there were times, life could be so unkind
When there wasn't always, a shoulder to cry
Can you shine the light
Can you shine the light
Please can you shine some light
Can you shine the light
Can you shine the light?
Shine the light on a shadow

7. _ Dirty Water Dog
No candidate would i support
His platform could i endorse
Another accomplice slinging dirt
Campaign promises falling short
I don't belong to any race
Pledge allegiance to a place
No borderline in the sand i'd trace
I'm just a sucker for a pretty face
Uncomfortable in the realm of the political
Position's always been a little left of cynical
I'm fundamentally for the individual
Preoccupied purely with the physical
When heavy is the weight of the world,
And the river runs a little too deep
Like a hound dog chasing a bird
Sometimes a certain tom gotta peep
I'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
And i think i like, i think i like, i like what i see

8. _ Fire In The Hole
In a word to the wisdom tooth
To tell, or not the truth
So open up and say ahh-men
Rinse cup, then spit again
Forked tongue in double speak
Pretty soon you just might
Spring a leak
Inhale before you begin
Your iron lung's a bag of wind
There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There's a fire in the hole, fire
Sweet 'n' sour, filiblister
Faucet pouring, fresh 'n' bitter
Come on smile and say cheese
On a count of three
Got a mindful of decavities
Chew your words, lest you choke
You better watch your mouth
Wash it out with soap
Tongue tied in a tangled web
Your bile inside better left unsaid
There's a fire in the hole
Fire in the hole
There's a fire in the hole, fire
Rudder of ship, which sets the course
Does not the bit, bridle the horse
Great is the forest, set by a small flame
Like a tongue on fire, no one can tame

9. _ Year To The Day
I woke up to yet another day
Grown to expect
Expect more of the same
Except for, for a subtle change
And that is, i'm slowly fading away
Harvest moon, soon will pass
Crop is gone, left only chaff
A bitter pill, and an overcast
A flag unfurled, at half mast
A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
With more time to kill
I barely survived
I barely survived
Like pouring salt on an open wound
Memory filling
Filling this empty room
I'm as bare, i'm as bare
As a barren womb
Still like the air
In a whitewash tomb
A year to the day
Since you went away
A moment in time
When you were last mine
I'm here standing still
With more time to kill
I barely survived
I barely survived
Three sixty-five

10. _ How Many Say I
Are you ever so silent, when she wanted to talk
Or couldn't keep quiet, when she needed a hug
Come on too strong, when a little's too much
How many, how many, say i
Go on and say yes, and really mean no
Would you rather guess, when you just don't know
And then say i love you, but aren't willing to show
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
Say live and let live, then so quick to judge
Slow to forgive, when you're holding a grudge
Don't always believe, all you need is love
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
Did you ever look down when the homeless walked by
Or changed the channel when you saw a hungry child
Know something to be true, then deny
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i
How many, how many, say i

11. _ Ballot Or The Bullet
Give me liberty or give me death
No truer words, have ever been said
Are you prepared
For your very last breath
Don't you dare start
What you cannot finish
So when we face, face the adversary
No longer are we the minority...
And when history repeats her hour
The pendulum will swing
Swing into power
Though not in vain like our forefathers
Freedom, never had no room for cowards
For in the end, there will be equality
Be any means necessary
The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do
The sword and the pen
Can be held, by the same hand
What's it gonna take to liberate
An emancipation, a false proclamation
All these token words that you legislate
Sound a little bit absurd, and a little too late
When a house is divided
It just will not stand
Once it's decided
A line drawn in the sand

12. _ Without You
Hey you, wake up, get yourself together
Yeah you, so you think you made it better
'cause you know it's coming at you
While your back is turned
Look too long and i can't help you
So clear your head, find a way home
Better make up your mind
First you say that you will
Then you say you won't
Well i'm just trying to figure
Try and figure you out
How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out
There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But i, i just can't do it all
Without you, without you
Hey fool, wise up, better late than never
Yeah you, you know that nothing lasts forever
Nobody ever told you that your
Time is running out
Too bad and i can't help you
How long can this go on
Tell me what is wrong
And maybe there's a way
That we can work it out
There must be some kind of way
That we can make it right
But i, i just can't do it all
Without you, without you
The point i'm trying to make
You got to give more than you take
You gotta give, give more than you take
Gotta, gotta, gotta work it out
