I once was lost in a foaming, roaming, rabid sea
then blooms blossomed, changed my outlook
now I've been set free
I once was sinking in a quarry of quicksand
somebody noticed and they offered me a hand

I want to tell it, I want to say it, I want to show it,
want you to know it

I've got a secret
and I cannot keep it
I've got a secret
and I cannot keep it

I could move to Hollywood
get my teeth capped I know I could
be a big star on the silver screen
just like James Dean I could be a star
I could climb the corporate ladder
buy, sell, and liquidate
Maybe be just like the Beatles
melodic, rocking heavyweights
I could learn to sing and dance
if I only had a chance
I could be a big rock star

I could be anything I wanted to
I wanted to

I grew up impressed by the people I knew in the buckle of the Bible belt
Hopped in a van with a band, now I've been just about everywhere else
Met a soldier from Seattle, and a lawyer from the east
A Texas oil baron and a Roman Catholic priest

Chorus:
Everyday I choose, to walk in their shoes
Cause pretty are the feet of those who bring the good news
Good people, good good people

I'm Not the King

The king of rock, some say lives
the lizard king is surely dead
the king of France lost his head
the King of Kings bled

I'm not the King I just sing yeah
I'm just a fraction of a thing yeah
I am not anything without the King of Kings

If I were King I'd be unwise
for my brains aren't Kingdom size
a King's someone to trust and love
like Jesus Christ whom I sing of

Simon Peter, won't you put those nets down
Follow Me I'll lead you out of this town
To a place where no boat has ever been
I will make you a fisher of men.

Jesus walked out on the water
Said, Take courage, it is Me
Peter trusted and he wanted to go farther
So he stepped out on the sea
Yeah, he stepped out onto the sea

CHORUS
If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water

I'm unstable and extreme
good to bad , I've been burnt in between
the smoke from the fire in my soul
makes a transparent haze
There are things that I can't hide
that would make some people think I've lied
I try to do right but I fail
don't set your eyes on me

I drive all night to sing this song
but I don't even care
Some people want a piece of me
but I've got none to share

The mountains are high
The valleys are low
You are confused by which way to go
I know there's someone to give you a hand
Lead you into the Promise Land

(Chorus)
Come on and take a free ride
Come on and get it by my side
Come on and take a free ride

All over the country I seen it the same
Nobody's willin' at this type of game
We got the direction, We've got to take in

Sometimes I'm a liar,
Sometimes I'm a fake.
Sometimes I'm a hypocrit
Everybody hates.

Sometimes I'm a poet,
Sometimes I'm a preacher
Sometimes I watch life go by
sittin' on the bleacher.

REFRAIN:
But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
Even though I'm to blame
There were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
But someone fixed my aim

I've worked hard
and I'm ready for a long vacation
got some money in my pocket
and I'm going down to the station
saw a poster on a wall
and the place looked really nice
a man with a beard said follow me
I'll take you to paradise

If you want to come with me there's room
there are no legal limits
there's always room for one more soul
so why not come and get it

Flea bitten bag lady
once you looked fine
you had a family you loved
just like mine
Second hand clothing
and knots in your hair
Tonight you might die
but would anyone care
Sweet little lady you soul is worth gold
don't believe all the lies you've been told
I've got a friend a friend indeed
who comes to the rescue of damsels in need

Friend and Father repair their souls
make them feel wanted

I see what eyes cannot see
and ears cannot hear
and brains cannot perceive
I see a spirit over me
that guides protects and keeps me
from some wrecks

I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling

I hear words that were said
over two thousand years ago
I hear the spirit when he's near
reminds me who I belong to

I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling

There is music and laughter lately
and there's prayers and praise there
are reasons to be so happy and beliefs to embrace
there are times to be so angry I'd rather lie in the sun
It's the summer of my lifetime
I've been blessed with some fun

I'm a season past springtime
and my life has gone boom
keep my eyes on the Father
everything is in bloom

Everything will just get better
