Lyrics

Forces of Nature

Side One

Believe the Children

Tracey is a school girl
She lives down your block
and sometimes you wonder
then you dismiss the thought
Well, she talks so quiet
and she looks so scared
She'd do anything to please you
big brown eyes and messy hair
and she's just there
Well, you say her crying one day
on her way home from school
She tried to wipe the tears away
She tried to look cool
This little girl has got a secret
She's just trying to survive
You he knows how to hide
offer out your hand to her
She pushes it aside
Chorus
Can you believe the children?
Look inside yourself
and find the answer in your heart
Will you believe the children?
Just a little love is all it takes
for the healing to start
She can't find a way to stop them
and it's almost every day
She's forced to keep her silence
so she wishes it away
And she hopes you'll read the secrets
that she wants so much to tell
to show you how they hurt her
and the trappings of this hell
she knows so well
Sometimes stories just don't come in words
It takes a heart for silent crying to be heard
Repeat chorus
Little Tommy is a school boy
He lives down your block
and sometimes you wonder
then you dismiss the thought
Well, he talks so angry
and he seems so scared
He's been looking for rejection
Are you strong enough to care?
And he's still there

Forces of Nature

The rain didn't ask if it could fall
Or the wind if it could blow
And the blizzard storm that blocks my way
Doesn't care that I want to go
And the sun that shines on a summers day
I can let it warm my heart
It will stay in the sky when I choose to cry
Its just there to play its part -Oh-
Part in the forces of nature
It's part of the forces of nature
Chorus
Forces of nature
Forces of nature
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I can find my strength in the sun and rainThe heavens do the things they need
Just to take care of their own
And in those ways is a flowing space
Where I can find my home
And my fellow man who turns on me
Follows forces of his own
Nothing I can say can change the way
That his actions will be shown -No-
Its just the forces of nature
Only the forces of nature
Repeat chorus
I can't cause a storm to start
In a human or the sky
And nothing I did could change the wind
Or the tears my body cries
There's a way that nature hurts and heals
That I may not comprehend
But when I set my mind to rest
I feel my body understands -Oh-
It knows the forces of nature
Follows the forces of nature

It's Contagious

Chorus
Move your body to the time
Feel the rhythm meet the rhyme
Let it touch your heart and soul
Feel the music take control
When you're in the mood, to get in the groove
You know you can't go very far
Just pick up your feet and step to the beat
Go lookin' for your guitar (it's contagious)
Seduction of sound, it turns you around
It makes you feel what you hear
Pulls you into time and wins you with rhyme
The music can hold you near (it's contagious)Repeat chorus
It asks you to go, somewhere you don't know
A place you've not been before
The magic begins when the beat comes in
And pulls you out on the floor (it's contagious)
Your body and mind, are lost in the time
You need to hear that rhythm drive
Get lost in the feel, it's you and it's real
The power lets you know you're aliveIts a natural thing when you start to sing
The lyrics that can touch your soul
Your heart brings it in, the music will win
The melody just takes control
So groove here with me and we can be free
Enjoy ourselves the whole night through
Just pick up your feet and move to the beat
I know that you've caught it too (it's contagious)
Repeat chorus

The "Fuck You" Song

Well you don't owe me nothin'
Except for my whole life
And you don't cause me anything
Except for pain and strife
The truth is I don't need you
And I'm better off without
And now that I believe it
The world's gonna hear me shout
Just get out
The roads that I have traveled
Were the ones that you had paved
When I saw where I was headed
I knew I'd lost my way
Now I'll never take direction
From those on the road to hell
That's where I'd send your actions
and you can go as well
Go to hell
Chorus
Get out of my life
Get out of my way
You can save your excuses for another day
Get out of my sight
Get out of my mind
You're a sorry sample of humankind
Its true that you've abused me
In a lot of different ways
But now I can protect myself
And I'm gonna have my say
You think that you can sway me
To believe your point of view
Viewpoints don't have pull with me
I just believe what's true
I believe what's true
You hope that I'll believe them
When you tell me all your lies
And you cling to the false power
Of your "full of love" disguise
Well now I see right through you
And I know what you're full of
Its true you're full of something
But it doesn't smell like love
You don't love
Get out of my life
Get out of my way
You can save your excuses for another day
Get out of my sight
Get out of my mind
By the way - FUCK YOU!

Side Two

Just Out of Reach

You stay just out of reach
and just out of touch my friend
Must you stay just out of reach
or can you trust to let me in?
These arms would like to hold you
or offer you a hand
but when you're just out of reach
I'll do my best to understand.
You've been just out of reach
and I've been holding on to air
I remember a time it seems to me
when I reached and found you there
We both have so much to give
There's a bond I'd like to share
and when you're just out of reach
I want to know that you still care
I know that you've been hurt before
I've seen you cry some painful tears
I know that you must protect yourself
I've seen you hold some painful fear
and I don't want to hurt you
I'd like you to feel safe
so can we work together
and try to find that place?
- Just out of reach -
Have I been just out of reach
and just out of touch my friend?
I've kept you just out of reach
but I'd like to let you in
I love to have you hold me
or offer me a hand
And when I'm just out of reach
I hope that you will understand
I've been just out of reach
And you've been holding on to air
I remember a time it seems to me
when you've reached and found me here
We both have so much to give
There's a bond I'd like to share
and when I'm just out of reach
Please know that I still care
You know that I've been hurt before
You've seen me cry some painful tears
You know that I must protect myself
You've seen me hold some painful fear
Show me that you don't want to hurt me
That you want me to feel safe
So can we work together
and slowly find that place
- Just out of reach -
- We've been just out of reach -

Mother the Earth

Oh, I think of how the planet dies
As we commit collective suicide
Mother Earth and little babies cry
When they're on their own
When the bond is gone
Heal me, heal me
Bring me home
Let me inside you
And make me your own
Hear me , heal me
Bring me home
Let me inside you
And make me your own
Father Sun was out the other day
Dried the tears the clouds had cried away
I think mostly he just tries to pray
That we see the light
As the time is right
Heal me, heal me
Bring me home
Let me inside you
And make me your own
Feel me, heal me
Bring me home
Let me inside you
And make me your own
Oh, I think of how we all can live
When we reach inside
And start to give
And it isn't hard to find one love
When you are my friend
Mother Earth to mend
Heal me, heal me
Bring me home
Let me inside you
And make me your own
Hold me, heal me
Bring me home
Let me inside you
And make me your own
Oh, I think of how the planet cries
As we commit collective suicide
Mother Earth and little babies die
When they're on their own
When the bond is gone

On the Dark Side of the Earth

(Beth Copeland Vargo)

God bless all the children
on the dark side of the earth
Pray for all the small ones
who've been victims from birth
Listen to the children
when they dare to tell the truth
Believe the tales of horror
all the hell they've been through
Chorus
Child, let me share the pain
I wasn't there to spare you
Can love make you whole again?
I believe that it can repair you
We're standing in the driven rain
I want to share the grief you're feeling
Will time relieve your suffering
Can a mother's love bring healing?
G
God bless all the children
on the dark side of the earth
Pray for all the small ones
who've been victims from their birth
Listen to the children
when they dare to tell the truth
Believe the tales of horror
all the hell they've been through
