Yonder Stands a Stranger
Yonder Stands a Stranger Yonder, yonder stands a strangerYonder, yonder stands a stranger Yonder stands a strangerHe’s dressed in white, don’t you seeHis hair is long and amberHis sandals are old and worn outFrom walkin’, oh, from walkin’ from town to townHe died for you and he died for meIn the dead of the nightIn the dead of the night His mother’s name, it was MaryShe was the finest ladyOh, the finest lady you’d ever want to meetHer hair was long and darkHer skin was silky whiteShe cried for you and she cried for meIn the dead of the nightIn the dead of the night His father’s name, it was JosephHis hands they were full of callousesFrom doin’, oh, the same old thingFrom doin’, oh, the same old thingBut you know, the man he never complainedBut you know, the man he never complainedOh, he never complained He goes by the name of JesusHe goes by the name of the LordYou can call him anything you wantYou can call him anything you wantDon’t you know that he’s my friendHe’s my friendDon’t you knowHe’s my friendDon’t you knowHe’s my friendOh, my friendOh, my friendHe’s my friend -

Dream of Mine
Dream of Mine Hundred million thousand stars, way up in the skyHundred million thousand stars, dancing in the nightListen to the stories of the ones that came beforeListen to the stories and maybe save yourself, save yourself A little girl, she stands alone in the pouring rainShe stands alone with her heart all full of painShe looks up in the sky and she cries out in painWhy do we cause it, yeQah, you and meYou and me, you and me, you and me (Chorus)Would it be too much to ask, that you put down your weaponsWould be it too much to say, that you stop all this killingWould it be too much to ask, that you put down your weaponsWould it be too much to say, that you stop all this killingAnd get down on your knees and pray Hundred million thousand stars lined up in the skyHundred million thousand stars starring back at meListen to the stories of the ones that came beforeListen to the stories and maybe save yourselfMaybe save yourself, maybe save yourself, save yourself Would it be too much to ask, that you put down your weaponsWould it be too much too say, that you stop all this killingWould it be too much to ask, that you put down your weaponsWould it be too much to say, that you stop all this killing (Repeat Chorus) I said get down on your knees and pray, get down on your knees and prayI dream of love, I dream of peace, and I dream of harmonyThis is a dream of mine -

Ten Pound Horses
Ten Pound Horses There’s a train leavin’ out of here tonight Headed down for Memphis,Tennessee And as we make our way ‘round the bend and we sling shot down the rail We’re goin’ down to Memphis We’re goin’ to go see the King I hear the clanking of the box carts on the rail I hear the screeching of the wheels on the steel, on the steel (Chorus) And it’s days like this And it’s days like this That I feel like runnin’ That I feel like runnin’ ‘Till there ain’t no more to go ‘Till there ain’t no more to go With ten-pound horses I look out the box cart door And I see America passin’ me by I see the old hobo man sittin’ next to me Or is he a man with courage That decided to do what he wanted to do And am I a soul with courage Or am I, oh, just a coward Who follows everywhere so blindly Like sheep being led to slaughter Like sheep being led to slaughter (Repeat Chorus) -

Born Too Late
Born To Late You ask me, hey, do you love meYou ask me, so sincereAnd I pretend not hear what you sayAnd slowly move into the next roomThen you follow me just like a little girlAnd you ask me, hey, do you love me (Chorus)Do you love me, do you love meI don’t know nothin’, about nothin’Sometimes I don’t even know my own nameI’m just a boy who’s caught up in a wrong timeI was born too late This crazy thing that we call loveHas brought me nothin’, but miserySo how can you expect me just to let my heart goHow can you expect me (Repeat Chorus Twice) -

Begging Bowl
Begging Bowl Wouldn’t it be a surpriseIf you was to wake up in the morningAnd you were a five-year-old childLivin’ in Darfur, AfricaAnd your clothes were old and worn outFrom the many years of useAnd, oh the constant companionThe one that never leaves you alone (Nadadadanada)(Chorus)Just like an old time friend that refuses to go homeJust like an old time friend that refuses to go homeI speak of the horrible hungerI speak of the terrible painI’m just a five-year-old childLivin’ in Darfur, Africa (Africa hahaha, Africa, Africa) Livin’ a country that’s torn by warThere’s violence everywhereAnd even the animals go hungryThey look at you with disdain Tonight when you go to sleepAnd you huddle next to your motherAnd you look up in the skyAnd you cry out in anguish (Nadadanana)(Repeat Chorus) I speak of the horrible hunger(How can you do this to me)I speak of the terrible pain(Don’t you know that I am just a five-year-old child)I’m just a five year old child(Look at you, look at you)Livin’ Darfur AfricaAfrica, Africa, Africa, Africa

What’s Going on America? Hey man, where are you boundOn such a cold and lonesome dayHey man, where are you boundOn such a cold and lonesome dayHey man, Hey manYou walkin’ down on a payment road, ‘til it turns to sandYou goin’ down to a place, oh, where the mountains, they touch the sky (Chorus)What’s goin’ on, AmericaWhat’s goin’ on, AmericaWhat’s goin’ on, America (ha,ha,ha,ha) Unemployment lines, they’re comin’ apart at the seamsAnd people thinkin’ when they get insideOh, their lives, they’re going’ to change (ain’t that a laugh)I don’t mean to complain so muchBut this life sure gets me downGets me down on the groundGets me down on the ground (Repeat Chorus) I’m not sayin’ that I’ve got the answerI’m not sayin’ that I’ve got the planBut I’ll be dammed if I stand aroundNot throw my two cents worth in (Repeat Chorus) -

The Island Song
The Island Song Every time that I feel like gettin’ away, I think of youEvery time that I feel like runnin’ away, I dream of youSometimes the noise and the rush become too muchI wonder how we stand it so (owowo) Lalalala (Repeat)The islands are such a paradiseThere’s no such thing as a disguiseThe islands they open up your eyesThe islands are such as a paradiseThere’s no such thing as a disguiseThe islands are The blue of the ocean and the blue of the skyHey honey baby it just gets me highThe smile of the natives and the warmth of their touchIt’s sometimes just too muchSometimes the noise and the rush become too muchI wonder how we stand it so (owowowo) Lalalala(Repeat Chorus) -

Crossroads
Crossroads Hey, there goes a shooting starAnd, ah there goes another oneI think it’s callin’ out to me out to meAnd when I see you layin’ next to me all quiet and stillAnd when I hear the beatin’ of your heartIt’s beatin’ along with mine along with mine Ohohohohohohohoh(Chorus)But if I was to lose you along the wayAnd if we should fall apart some howI want you to remember this my girlYou were the love of my lifeWhen I was at the crossroads of my life And when I see you smile I feel a gentleness insideAnd when I see your runnin’ free and wildI think I’m goin’ to stay here for a whileStay here for a while Ohohohohohohohoh(Repeat Chorus)
