Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread worldwide and there are families on the street

So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand
Well I don't make a promise I can't keep
And I vow to be a real good friend

In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming of

Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby Oh baby
Let me be the one

We spend all our time together

Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Precious memories are clear before my eyes
I can hear your voice calling out my name
But I don't know you now, nothing stays the same

All along I have wanted you
I pray tonight that you want me, too
All along there was no one else
I've been waiting here all by myself

If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide

Here's my chance to say thank you to a place where
All my memories are fond and an essence of my heart
Waiting there with open arms
There's Melissa full of charm
How I miss her so, she's such a sight of love down in

Oh Virginia down the higway to 64
East way to Newport News
There you'll find an open door in
Oh Virginia all my friends are there to greet me
Just a smile down 64 along the open road

I went to see my grandma today
I learned the difference between
Living and alive
Wall to wall roaches in a two by four infested room
Lying there in pain
Praying for the Lord to take her

Nora - I hope it won't be too long for you
Nora - All these years you've been so strong
Nora - I hope you don't mind if I call you Nora
I love you

After leaving her, I turned my life around

If I needed you so desperately
To come to me and talk to me
To take my heart and hand into your comfort zone
Where I'm not alone or lonely
Well would you take the time to be my friend
Cause in the end that's all there is
There's love the eternal bond between us
Would you be there

When the lights are down low and I'm feeliong insecure
With this bed so big and cold only memories to hold

If you can look into his tired and weary eyes
The can tell a million stories of all he holds inside
Waiting patiently 'til the day he dies
For a better life-for a better life
For a better life-for a better life
He saw people die because of their beliefs
He saw a leader shot down cold by men behind the trees
But he believes he believes that one day he will see
Love and harmony-love and harmony

You spend half the time dreaming and the other half's a lie
You don't know where you're going and you don't know how to try
You don't really have a best friend but you think that you're in love
Now all you can remember are the words he used the most
Like the "lie" in believe
The "I" in decieve
The "her" in together
The "we" in the weather
He said a lot of things I'm sure he meant them at the time

Well it's all right to feel like time is running down
And make amends with those who once have let you down
To cry for children who have not yet had their chance
To pray for foes in hopes that one day we'll join hands
And live in Heaven

Heaven forever Heaven forever
Heaven forever Heaven forever

Love's waiting past the stars
Tranquility is not that far
Believe in Him he believes in you

Could I be with you alone
I'm not sure where this will go
Cause we don't have the time we need
Just enough to make us bleed

Cause I'll be leaving soon
It's hard to say when I'll return
And I don't want to lead you on
So if you feel the need
Close your eyes abd share this dream
It will be eternity

Forever for tonight
I will be there to hold you through the night
Forever for tonight

All my life has been a show that never ends
Made a lot of music and I've made a lot of friends
I've got two children but I've never had a wife
Don't mean to bore you with the story of my life

I've been criticized for all the things I've done
But I must admit that I did it all in fun
The Lord has blessed me with a song a day to sing
It's been a long hard road but I wouldn't change a thing

And oh
