There's a lady on a mountain I don't know, and all that she wants is silver and gold. There's a man down in the valley I've never seen, and all that he wants is the lady. and He prays everyday for piece of heart. and She prays everyday for peace of mind. then they hear, for whatsoever ye shall seek, ye shall find. So the lady sails away to a place made of silver and gold. and the man went up the mountain and called her name. "You can search the whole world over and over, for what you think you need. But my dear lady, its back on your mountain with me." Olly Olly Oxen Free Do you know what you want Do you want what you need Olly Olly Oxen Free There's a battle between two shades of green you can search for your fortune afar or come out, come out wherever you are. For whatsoever ye shall seek, Ye shall find, Your treasures been here the whole time. The grass is green right under your feet the fruits of your labors are just as sweet you just gotta know what you want and want what you need. Olly Olly Oxen Free Do you know what you want Do you want what you need Olly Olly Oxen Free Olly Olly Oxen Free Do you know what you want Do you want what you need Olly Olly Oxen Free There's a lady and a man I don't know and all that they have, is more than silver and gold

My hearts been stolen by a robot, robot My system's crashing on the floor. No assembly was required He knew exactly how I was wired My hearts been stolen by a robot, robot Yes, He is too good to be true this perfect man must have been manufactured programmed with everything that I've been after All I feel Can't be real I didn't know that two could be so compatible My Hearts been stolen by a robot, robot He broke through my fire wall the only one who could hack my system should pull the plug but I can't resist him All I feel Can't be real I didn't know that two could be so compatible system over,system over, system overload... But How do I know you're not an evil cyborg sent here to destroy me a virus detection could explain your perfection or can it be, can you be real. or are you a robot? You're the zero to my 0-to my 11-0110 -11011 oh been so good to restrain it the only way to explain it is he must be ya you must be, a heart stealing robot My heart's been stolen by a robot,robot

What I wanted wasn’t what I thought it was I was afraid I lost myself along the way because What I wanted wasn’t what I thought it was But as long as I still have your love It doesn’t matter that what I wanted wasn’t what I thought it was Verse I: When he was young spitfire fueled his dreams He had the high-rise office The Ivy League degree His name upon the desk and on the door But no time for the ones that he had done it for No he never saw the ones he’d done it for Then the day came that every Father fears They let him go with severance and thanked him for his years He fought against the burn behind his eyes And he begged the Lord to let this be A blessing in disguise Chorus: For some plans Go up in smoke And when it clears we finally see what matter most Some roads were always dead ends but we turn around and begin again If you find yourself back at the start You can always change your mind Just never change your heart Verse 2: So if there ever comes a day, My Dear When you don’t recognize the person in the mirror Be honest with yourself and with me We’ll find a path that leads to who you want to be As long as you still believe in us It doesn’t matter that what you wanted wasn’t what you thought it was. Repeat Chorus Bridge: I’ll pour the gasoline You strike the match We’ll burn this old dream And start again from scratch What I wanted wasn’t what I thought it was I was afraid I lost myself along the way because What I wanted wasn’t what I thought it was But as long as I still have your love It doesn’t matter that what I wanted wasn’t what I thought it was

Loved By Me 04:16
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. it was hard to let go of your hand as I watched those bright eyes, fill up with wonder I hope that you understand That is you can dream it you can be it you only have to believe (I believe) You can a doctor fly a helicopter open a restaurant with your dad Drive a racecar play the keytar rockin' in the garage or lead the marching band There's so many things that you can do you can do anything you put your mind to the only thing I know with all certainty is whatever you are gonna be, you're gonna be loved by me. Today is the first day of the rest of your life the world, it belongs to you and I hope and pray that you'll be safe and that all your dreams come true cuz if you can think it it can be done there's no limit to what you can become you can be a writer a swat team crime fighter or join the circus as the greatest unicycle rider Be on broadway battle out tooth decay or make the popcorn for the weekend matinee There's so many things that you can do You can do anything you put your mind to the only thing I know with all certainty is whatever you're gonna be You're gonna be loved by me. You may find that while you are tryin' plans can fall apart but do your best everyday and good will come your way and you'll always have my heart That is you can dream it you can be it you only have to believe (i believe) you can be a magician a pediatrician or build a robot and send him on a secret mission be a math teacher or swim with sea creatures like old Jacque Cousteau or you could win the Superbowl There's so many things that you can do You can do anything you put your mind to the only thing I know with all certainty is whatever you're gonna be You're gonna be loved by me. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Girl, you can make it all you need is a little luck so get yourself a rabbits foot to rub the quickest way from point a to b is to get yourself going but I don't know if going there is for me Cuz the human heart is full of curves like a road through the smokies or down the river that bends or the love that wraps around two best friends I believe that luck is believing you are lucky and I believe the best part of Tennessee came to me I guess you can hope that you'll be in the right place at the right time but I already was there when I met that man of mine the quickest way from point a to b is to get yourself going but I don't care where Im going as long as he's with me Cuz the human heart is full of curves like a road through the smokies or down the river that bends or the love that wraps around two best friendsI believe that luck is believing you are lucky and I believe the best part of Tennessee came to me They call it music city where the songbirds go to sing but if its not in my cards or part of the plan I'll sing your love song from wherever I am cuz I believe that luck is believing your lucky and I believe the best part of Tennessee came to me

Up the Hill 04:04
So often he'd pass a view off the road without a second glance the sight to be seen may be extraordinary but he wont even give it chance to catch his eye, cuz its just the sky He knows that someday he will but now he's gotta get up the hill She steps off the train, morning air hits her face and she barely realized there was a man with his guitar, sharing his whole heart but she won't look him in the eye Don't have the time, can't spare a dime She knows that someday she will But now she's gotta get up the hill Why do we always seem to be in a hurry When will we ever recognize we are passing life by Up the Hill, gotta get up the Hill I got my blinders on and I will until I get myself up the Hill There they are, right under our noses could be so sweet if we'd only stop and smell those roses ashes, ashes, we all fall down but I won't fall, no I won't fall till I'm up the hill. I'll Enjoy Life, Once I'm upright on the Hill She steps off the train, morning air hits her face and she finally realized she was passing life by to get up the hill, up the hill...

Everyday feels the same She walks alone with her music loud She's given up on fittin in No need to impress the cool crowd Wishing that time would move faster looking forward to what come after right now, but right now This is your time This is your place Its no accident You're here So don't wish it away Look around and you will see there is somebody who needs you You are where you are meant to be Yes, there are better days to come But don't let that keep you from living today, this is your time this is your place You never know whats around the bend so adjust those sails to catch the wind Try not to compare another side of the fence to yours This is your time This is your place Its no accident you're here So don't wish it away Look around and you will see there's somebody who needs you You are where you are meant to be Yes, there are better days to come But don't let that keep you from living today, this is your time this is your place Right here right now has only just begun don't let what happened yesterday keep you from your time Everyday is not the same

Arizona Memo 03:26
Peak my head out, see that the sun is blazing down on just about everything but it doesn't see cheeky little me I'm safe in four inches of shade on this joshua tree but the voices calling from the north its time to use these feathers hold my breath and make the choice to finally leave the desert Arizona, my heart is your forever Arizona, Don't think of me as the type who's only there in fair weather I hope you know how I hate to go but like the old saguaro please keep your arms wide open till I come home Hair is blowin', the windows are down we're tossing out every care on that Carefree highway There's so many places I have never been cuz every chance I get I keep comin' your way the voices calling from the South Its time to use those feathers Hold my breath cuz I'm about to finally see the desert Arizona, my heart is your forever Arizona, Don't think of me as the type who's only there in fair weather I hope you know how I hate to go but like the old saguaro please keep your arms wide open till I come home Peak my head out, see that the sun is blazin' down on just about everything...

Two Pins 03:27
When you lose a lot when you're little You tend to guard what you've got unintentional walls and fences will go up And you'll wear a thick skin Don't let anybody in cuz you never know when someones' gonna go Someone you love But you broke right through so easily as if the ones that had to go sent you to me Two pins on a giant map with so much space in between the Heavens knew just how to fill the gap with out connecting string yes its easy to see, they sent you to me Ten years down the road we've been all over the world a Colorado Boy, an Indiana Girl Working hard for all we have praying for a guiding hand and it feels so right to be by your side almost like it were planned Two pins on a giant map with so much space in between the Heavens knew just how to fill the gap with out connecting string yes its easy to see, they sent you to me If I could go back I'd take that same path wrap that string around again your pin to my pin Two pins on a giant map with so much space in between the Heavens knew just how to fill the gap with out connecting string yes its easy to see, they sent you to me

Almost Every Saturday, Is spent at her place Never know if she’ll remember who we are She’ll call me someone else’s name, I’ll smile anyway I hate to admit it but at times it is hard to stay It all was slowly taken And even though my heart is breakin’ I am grateful that I get to hear About how Every afternoon she’d be up where the sun would shine through And the leaves would dance to The music of her laughter Her mind had returned to a sweeter stage Where her heart had left a dog-eared page No her story’s not your typical ever after But she’s happy in her Tree House Chapter The same stories are retold, Often filled with holes Repeat the answer to tough questions always asked Like how is the farm, is your daddy working hard She can’t remember that he and Grandpa have passed Watch her eyes try to fit together the pieces And I can’t deny that it’s one of Gods good graces The way she can recall every detail To one of her favorite places Every afternoon she’d be up where the sun would shine through And the leaves would dance to The music of her laughter Her mind had returned to a sweeter stage Where her heart had left a dog-eared page No her story’s not your typical ever after But she’s happy in her Tree House Chapter Singing with the morning glory Reliving her favorite part of her life story Repeat Chorus Until she returns to a sweeter place She’ll be telling that story with a smile on her face Happy ever after, in her Tree House chapter

Find a penny Pick it up Not only for good fortune Not only for luck Now you have more Than you had before Don’t let the little things Get forgotten Overlooked Swept under the rug The little things Are what this life is made of So remember that I love you And that pennies are money too Don’t let the little things Get forgotten The way you twirl your hair When you’re falling to sleep Pockets full of shiny stones That make your collection complete Always on tippy-toes Those little bare feet Don’t let these little things get forgotten Overlooked Swept under the rug The little things Are what this life is made of So remember that I love you And that pennies are money too Don’t let the little things Get forgotten Every Dandelion picked To place behind my ear The way you hum your favorite song When you think no one can hear After every bedtime kiss I pray to always remember this Don’t let the little things get forgotten Overlooked Swept under the rug The little things Are what this life is made of So remember that I love you And that pennies are money too Don’t let the little things Get forgotten
