Song Title: Girl in the Pew
Words Rick Denzien & Debra Lee
Music by: Rick Denzien
My girl in the pew - doesn’t know what to do
She looks so lost sometimes - Got a good pretty smile
Un-deniable style - I want to talk with her for a while
Pre Chorus: And totally leave this place behind
Lay on the deck drift the river of time
With nothing to do but think on life
Toss out my line for dinner
Chorus: And I Love You – could we survive?
And I Love You – could we stay alive?
Talk all about love - Watch the skies up above
Dream of your touch many a time - In the middle of this
You’re the one who I kiss - fooling around a minute of bliss
Do ya ever think of me?
Bridge: Down the street, we can go
Well I lift my eyes to see, the girl I’d love know
Pre Chorus: And totally leave this place behind
Toss out my line for dinner
And I Love You - Could we survive? backing: Is it too late?
And I Love You - Can we survive?
Can we survive?
Can we survive?
Hope we survive backing: to pray?
Can we survive?
Hope we survive
Can we thrive?
My girl in the pew – finally knows what to do
We found our love in time

Title: Always The Same
Words & Music By: Rick Denzien
KEY: Em Tempo: Fast BPM: 160
so many years that have gone by
and I wonder how the time can fly
Especially when it feels so slow
I just don’t know where the days they go
and I wish I knew more about the ways
of the woman I lived with all of these days
but I just don’t seem to understand
I just don’t seem to comprehend, I don’t comprehend
that it’s
always the same, same though the ages
always the same I know it never changes it’s
always the same, same though the ages, It’s
always the same though the ages
Well, I got the car payments It’s rusting through the floor
and I got me the woman that lives next door
I don’t want to stop and think about that
with the house and the kids and the calico cat
hell, I don’t even remember all the things that I say
and I want to do is hide away
‘cause they just don’t seem to understand
they just don’t seem to comprehend, they don’t comprehend
that it’s
always the same, same though the ages
always the same I know it never changes it’s
always the same, same though the ages
It’s always the same though the ages, yeah
Bridge:
it’s only a number game we play
try to win it all again today
always a number game we play
well, I Lost the winning ticket yesterday
well, it’s
always the same, same though the ages
always the same I know it never changes it’s
always the same, same though the ages
It’s always the same though the ages
it’s always the same I know it never changes

Title: I Don’t Need Nobody

On a plane in the bush
On a train I feel the push
I see the sky while on a bus
You and I, ah, we’re screaming, we’re screaming
I don’t need nobody like you woah

I got no tone hang up cancel call
I don’t need nobody like you

Like…

I tell myself it’s all a waste of time
I don’t need nobody like you
I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready - ready to go – lets go

Title: Tsai (Sigh)
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
So I’m here & you are there - we pretend and make distractions
Its terrible in a way - just can’t find the right words to say
when I think of you – I try hard not to panic
And when I think of you – well I just sigh….
you’re a mystery you’re a guide yeah
Tsai - you’re a mystery
So I’m arguing a cause - never see coming attractions
Several times I had that dream - wondering if life is what it seems
when I think of you – I go down like titanic
And when I think of you – well I just sigh….
you’re a mystery you’re a guide - yeah
Tsai - we got a history
Bridge:
And if ever I get out a here and don’t turn back
Mind, body and spirit just slap me
I realize to day - I realize too late today
So, at this stage I come to play - read the classifieds in action
Well, are you crying all the time? So depressed? – You need psychotherapy
when I think of you – I know why I get manic
And when I think of you – well I just sigh….
you’re a mystery you’re a guide yeah
Tsai,
Oh Tsai - Oh Tsai
Tsai - Oh Tsai
you’re the girl, you’re the girl, you’re the girl, you’re the girl wough Tsai, yeah

Song Title: RADIATE
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
A single man
A boy on the inside
Tell me no more
He crawls down those stairs
Darkness in blown up eyes
He’s lonely
There’s no one left near by
Chorus:
Radiate - radiate the love - a love you have denied
Radiate - my tears will cry – if I lose you
Radiate – I’ll radiate the love inside - Love will never die
A single girl
She’s almost a woman
No fool at school
She falls to the floor
Tears rise up touch the sky
Bullets fly
Surrounded by her friends
Radiate - radiate the love - a love you have denied
Radiate - my tears will cry – will I lose you?
Radiate - I’ll radiate the love inside - Pictures in the sky
Bridge:
Saw them in a dream - falling down
Mystical extreme, hear them scream
Guitar Lead:
Radiate - you know - you know the love the love you have denied
Radiate - my tears will cry – till I find you
Radiate the love – I’ll radiate – Radiate

One Day in the Rain
04:30

|

One day in the rain – I knew I had to choose
One day in the clouds – I had nothing to lose
When I walked into the room – you stood there so disturbed
And all the words I said – were not the words you heard
On such a cloudy day – something had to break
just by being here right now – it’s more – more that I can take
One day in the rain – one day in the rain – one day the rain
You say we are free – but you don’t know the meaning
the truth you can’t see – is the key to our true healing
When I close my eyes at night – into a sleepless dream
Well it keeps me wide awake - like a re-occurring theme
And there’s no great escape – nothing stays the same
Burning me all over now – how can I release this pain?
I release this pain
One day in the rain - One day in the rain
Bridge:
Silver blade on my nightstand
A little movement of my right hand
Won’t you keep me safe from harm?
Keep me like your lucky charm - your lucky charm
One day you must choose – like me you’ve nothing to lose
One day you will know – which way you have to go.
I thought I’d lose my mind – just thinking about you
And I wondered in my soul – just what I was to do
And it hit me way back then – just like it hits me now
Got to bend the light – let it out - make it work some how
make it work some how
One day in the rain – one day in the rain - One day in the rain :[]

Song Title: Of a Kind
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
I see the bags underneath your eyes
Like a seer you see true and wise
When you were very young you tried so hard
But crawling down the street your soul got marred
Nobody else could see you
Chorus:
There was a dragon’s head – and a little boy’s sled
And a big ravine – and the prettiest girl I ever seen
Just remember if your soul gets lost
Given up what’s left behind
Holding on like you were the one of a kind
A shadow cast near the stream you go
Any more than this you’ll never know
And even when you stayed up every night
Nothing ever could make it true or right
Nobody else could free you
Chorus 2:
Bridge:
I know I want you - but I know I can’t have you so,
I leave it all behind
Always reaching out for the things I cannot see, cannot touch, cannot find – so, never, never mind
I see the bags underneath your eyes
Like a seer you see true and wise
When you were very young you tried so hard
But crawling down the street your soul got marred - yeah

Eye for an Eye
Words By: Rick Denzien & Debra Lee
Music By Rick Denzien
You throw a rock – n - I toss a bomb - Launch another missile – We do each other harm
We only make it worse – Bring more suffering - Sacrifice the pawns – Crosses on all our lawns
Look into your heart for truth – Look into the eyes of youth - living by an…
Eye for an eye when the candle burns low - The flame starts to die
An eye for an eye - Suffering the way we live and die
Hand for hand - Foot for a foot wound for a wound - Children fighting over sand
Summon every curse – Soul for a soul - Walk and extra mile - With weapons of denial
Throw down your rock – I’ll disarm my bomb - Bury all the missiles – go plowing on the farm
Look into your heart for truth - living by an…
Eye for an eye when the candle burns low – Sprit starts to die
An eye for an eye -
And many of those who suffer war - See a golden door at the corner
The sun will rise – the distant bells will ring
The truth will bury kings – and enlighten other things – yeah, Yeah, oh
Living by and Eye for an Eye - yeah and Eye for an Eye
Living by for an and Eye for an Eye oh an Eye for and Eye oh
The sun will rise – connect our eyes
If we can make it right - the distant bells will ring
The truth will bury kings – and lighten other things yea and Eye for and Eye - oh
The sun will rise – connecting all our eyes - eye for an eye
You hurt me I hurt back - We both want our brothers back
You hit me I hit back - We both want our sisters back
You kick me I kick back - we both want our lovers back, we
Gotta stop this eye for an eye - Gotta stop this eye for an eye
We gotta stop this eye for an eye

Title: Far Below
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
He says pass me that cigarette
This picture looks worn – but they sure look cute
Pretty little ones, pretty wife - what can I tell them?
Wrap ‘em all together in a single chute
What are you saying? It’s cold outside?
Staring past the ribs of this grey - dead bird
Why is he praying? Why? – what can he tell us?
See the blast - feel the shock - this is so absurd
And the voices drown in the engines roar
When I finally fall – I will see it all – so far below
When I finally fall – I could lose it all – so far below
Little window looking out like a TV
They’re playing in the yard
They’ll never know where, where, where I did go
Cause getting back there is pretty hard
Is there peace in this time of war? This kind of war?
When I finally fall – I will see it all – so far below
When I finally fall – I could lose it all – so far
Latch the broken ring to a silver cord – and the door will open wide
Light is green – black smoke – hanging - But I never learned to fly
I will die thinking of you – I’m thinking of you - yeah Ahhhh
Pretty little ones, pretty wife - what will I tell them? x 4
When I finally fall – I will see it all
When I finally fall – I will see it all
Oh……

Title: Laid Out
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
Verse 1:
In standing here - I can see all of my brothers - In battlement and suffering
I see their eyes I can see the sunken treasure
And all the pain that their day brings
“E” conomy we keep the stocks trading - No one stop to hear the children sing
Just one more day - Getting way - way too much pleasure
Daddy play with me - tonight is the only thing
Pre-Chorus:
And you’re laid out on the grass – mother your baby’s gone awry
I know that you can see it in her eyes….. yeah
Chorus:
And suddenly it hits me - when I see you standing there
Through the twisted edges and the razor wire - but I don’t care
What cha gonna to do what cha gonna say laid out on me tonight - tonight
Verse 2:
Millennium the end of the beginning - Another place a rip in space and time
Only a fool can keep from going crazy - Take a look at me and stand in line.
And you’re laid out on the grass – mother your baby’s gone awry
I know that you can see it in his eyes….. yeah
Chorus 2:
And it suddenly hit me when I see you standing there
Through the twisted edges and the razor wire but I don’t care…
Bridge:
stolen birthright from the cradle - taught to think that we're not able
can we see there's something greater? - on the path of light we wager
Yeah, woah
What cha gonna do what cha gonna say
Laid out on me tonight, laid out on me tonight laid out on me tonight, laid out on me tonight - Stolen, Stolen away
I see their eyes I can see the sunken treasure

Title: More
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
Verse 1:
I realize that we got something to say
We better say it now be for it all slips away
And I know it would be easier with no words to say
But it was never meant that way
I’m still believing it’s been so long
I’m still right here hanging on
Chorus:
And I love you - more
And I love you - more
Verse 2:
Unspoken thoughts that never turn into words
Hidden deep in your heart secrets I never heard
I’d tell you all, tell you all if you would just give the word
But the thought never occurred
I’m still believing it’s been so long
I’m still right here hanging on – so strong
And everyday when I think of you
And I love you - more
And I love you – even more
Bridge:
You could have everything and never have anything
will I feel the joy will I feel the pain when I’m holding you will it be in vain? yeah
And I love you - more
And I love you – more

Song Title: You got Something
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
I wake and I was searching - for all the places I had been
Through the night - it looks all right
And then without warning - you open the shades to morning
And I see the morning lightm
You’ve got something I need – Something I need
Sometimes in my soul I feel aching - for all the hopes that were taken
But you took me to a new place your way - don’t know what to say
And then when I woke up screaming - you said that I was only dreaming
And I would live through another night
You’ve got something I need - Something I need
You’ve got something I need - Something I need
I wandered around your house - see the pictures on the walls
I wandered around your house - down the dark and lonely halls
See the burning flame - dirty yellow flame – don’t even know your name
You’ve got something I need - Something I need
You’ve got something I need - Something I need
You’ve got something I need - Something I need
I wake and I was searching - for all the places I had been
Through the night - it looks all right

Water Falling - (Jennifer's Song)
Words & Music by: Rick Denzien
Looking at my life – well it seemed so unclear -
And I find myself - tangled in my fears
You take me unaware sometimes
At first, I was surprised
See right through the truth - in your eyes
I’ll never forget you
Saw the truth and I wrote it down for you
Bridges crossed – never will – I never will - forget you
Chorus: Waterfall - pour down over me
Like a drowning man sinking deep in an endless raging sea
And I wanna scream out with everything even my last breath
And so I wrote it down – you were my best friend
Faded pictures of yesterdays – they line my shelf
I kept them there in silence - and pity for myself
But somehow you spoke to me - and I, I heard your voice
You lifted up my heavy spirit - when I made that choice,
That haunted voice.
Waterfall - pour down over me
Like a drowning man sinking deep in an endless raging sea
Bridge: And as a child I try, I try to understand
How the grass it grows, everywhere I go
And the mother's love I used to know but now
As a man I just cannot see, my blind eyes can’t see
I can’t see - can’t see, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Chorus: Waterfall - pour down over me
Like a drowning man sinking deep in an endless raging sea
And I wanna scream out with everything even my last breath
And so I wrote it down – you were my best friend
Waterfall – Waterfall - a place we used to go
Waterfall – Waterfall - Sliding ice and snow
Waterfall – Waterfall - Stones along the row
Waterfall – Waterfall - a resting place I know
Waterfall - water falling down

Title: Won't Believe This Love
Words Rick Denzien, Debra Lee, Olivia O
Music: Rick Denzien
Ver. 8 male BPM 130
Verse I
How could I see this darkness rise?
Why would I follow blindly trusting lies?
When did I stop, stop listening?
Ignoring the warning signs her whispering
Pre-Chorus 1
Some people say “you’re a fool she’s deceiving.”
I shake my head she’s cruel an I should be leaving - still
Chorus 1:
I believe in love I believe in faith even in the dark
When my heart’s breaking and everything goes wrong
I believe in hope I believe in trust even if you lied
When I know you’re faking and what we had is gone
Hook:
I gotta leave this love, Don’t wanna keep this love, I Won’t believe this love
Where is this light that’s deep inside?
Why am I deaf can’t hear my inner guide?
What will it take to be set free?
All of this arguing destroying me
Pre-Chorus 2
Some people say “it’s your love she’s been thieving”
I close my eyes deny the web she been weaving - still
Chorus 2:
I believe in love I believe in dreams even when it’s hard
My hands are shaking and everything feels lost
I believe in hope trying to adjust trying to decide
Cause I know you’re taking all we had is gone
Hook:
I don’t believe this love, Don’t wanna keep this love, I gotta leave this love
Bridge
You’re a single flash in a night of stars
You are just one rain drop in the sky
I don’t believe in you, but I believe in love, well
Chorus 3:
I believe in love I believe in faith even in the dark
My hands are shaking and everything feels lost
I believe in hope trying to adjust trying to decide
When I know you’re faking all we had is gone
Hook:
I gotta leave this love, Don’t wanna keep this love, I Won’t believe
How could I see this darkness rise? How could this happen right before my eyes?

We Are One
Words, Music By: Rick Denzien
Bgvox: We are one
Everyone that I see – everyone that I meet –
We all got the same things
I look out on the great horizon and – we’re sailing on a blood sea
And they can’t tell me what no one knows, and they can’t sell me some puppet show Some puppet show cause
Chorus:
I know – to the end I will go - well I know – to the end I will go
Cause we are one
Everyone is clear – everyone is confused –
I don’t know the same things as you do
If I could stop this single moment - And see the tricks that they use
And they can’t tell me – what’s over there - and they can’t tell me what coast I’ll fair What coast I’ll fair coast I’ll fair cause
Chorus:
I know – to the end I will go - well I know – to the end I will go
Bridge:
And when you’re around you’re the only one I know, you’re like nothing else I found
And they can’t tell me what no one knows, and they can’t sell me some puppet show
Some puppet show cause
Chorus:
I know – to the end I will go - well I know – to the end I will go, I will go
well I know – to the end I will go, well I know –
