When I was a youth I had alot on my mind like who to be and what to wear and whats goin on that night lookin back now those times seem so out of sight cuz now that I am older time is hard to find and I'm searching for something to satisfy my mind I'm searching to find myself a little peace thats mine When I was a youth I had alot on my mind like who to be and what to wear and whats goin on that night lookin back now those times seem so out of sight cuz now that I am older time is hard to find and I'm still searching for some peace of mind and I hope that I can find it soon I'm running out of time I'm running out of time.

lyrics
You've been out working all day I've been up working all night workin all night but if we pass in the meantime If we pass I hope I'll see you I want to see you Everybody needs there pay in this troubled time and age everybody needs there pay everybody needs there pay But workin all night takes its toll on a weary withered soul on this weary withered soul You've been out working all day I've been up working all night workin all night but if we pass in the meantime If we pass I hope I'll see you I hope I'll see you I want to see you

Nostalgia 03:08
lyrics
Lately I've been spending my time Just thinking about the past Thinking about them good old days That just didn't seem to last They just didn't seem to last They moved out of town and got real jobs some got married and had babies The rest sit at home and watch TV or just waist there time like me or just waist there time like me Lately I've been spending my time Just thinking about the past Thinking about them good old days That just didn't seem to last They just didn't seem to last Times they change and people change I guess its time that I change too Because we're all getting older and the winters get colder but there's still life in front of you Yes there's still life in front of you Ya there's still life in front of you Lately I've been spending my time Just thinking about the past Thinking about them good old days That just didn't seem to last They just didn't seem to last They just didn't seem to last

Remember When 03:57
lyrics
Can you remember when we where young and just friends It seemed like those summers never would end jumpin off the pontoon bonfires under the moon It seemed like those times ended far too soon Can you remember when we where young and just friends It seemed like those summers never would end cruisin down the back roads trying to ease our heavy loads isn't it funny how fast the time goes Can you remember when we where young and just friends It seemed like those summers never would end now we spend our summertimes workin the weekdays through but I still get to spend my weekends with you Can you remember when we where young and just friends It seemed like those summers never would end

Going Home 01:44
lyrics
I'm Going Home I'm Going Home I'm Going Home I'm Going Home all my dreams that I've seen have been split at the seems all the places I went all my money I spent all this time in my mind and I've come to find that the Higher you climb the harder you fall I'm Going Home I'm Going Home I'm Going Home I'm Going Home on a plane on a train any way I'm Going Home with this pain I've sustained on the Way I'm Going Home all this time in my mind and I've come to find that the Higher you climb the harder you fall

It's Up to You 02:40
lyrics
Lyrics: It's not the wind and the rain it's the choices you make that get you down it's not the way that you talk it's the way that you walk that defines you it's not the path that you choose but how you get through that makes you you what else can I say we all make our own way its up to you its up to you {choice interlude : ) } It's not the wind and the rain it's the choices you make that get you down it's not the way that you talk it's the way that you walk that defines you it's not the path that you choose but how you get through that makes you you what else can I say we all make our own way so put a hop in your step there's love to give yet have reverence for life and put an end to your strife take the good with the bad sometimes you'll feel sad that's just the way that it goes so just go with the flow and don't be uptight because in the end its all right in the end it's all right

Wait for Me 02:22

lyrics
The Winters coming and I can feel it in the air x2 The leaves have fallen, fallen from the tree The winters coming and I can feel it in the breeze It's getting darker each and every day and I can tell you one thing the cold is on its way The winters coming and are you ready for the cold The winters coming and are you ready for the snow the winters coming and I can feel it on my skin them icy winds are starting to begin The winters coming and are you ready for the cold The winters coming and are you ready for the snow The winters coming

We are One 06:16
lyrics
Time is a mystery Floating in an endless sea We've been running like machines forgotten all of our dreams But there's still hope in me That we could live happily end our hostilities and Find peace in unity We are one under the sun We are one One under the sun Time is a mystery Lost in an endless sea We've been running like machines forgotten all our dreams Home is a state of mind the past you cannot rewind Life is a gift you'll find and now is the only time so use creativity to set your mind at ease Just use creativity and set your spirit free We are one We are one
