Shelter I Found Love Shelter Reflected (On My Side) Beacon Wheels Belfry Dreams Come True (Stand Up And Take It) The Gift Inspiration Dixie Storms --------------------------------------------- I Found Love (Maria McKee) I was mindin' my business like a good girl should Maybe a little too careful for my own good It was just like livin' life in the dark 'Til somethin' jumped up and it grabbed my heart I found love I found real love The beginning and end of every wish Is balanced in the center of a vision like this Maybe my emotions are inclined To surrender to the notion of a glorious kind I found love I found real love One touch, souls speak The Power's got me and it won't let me be It's too much this heat I wanna laugh cry jump for joy shout scream Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah At the end of every tunnel there's a shining light In the heart of every storm there's a quiet night My joy was hidden in a dream I didn't know that it was there until you set me free Shelter (Maria McKee/Steven Van Zandt) Well all right you gave it all up for a dream Fate proved unkind to lock the door and leave no key You're unsure, baby I'm scared too When the world crushes you... Let me be your shelter, shelter from the storm outside Let me be your shelter, shelter from the endless night Disillusion has an edge so sharp It tears at your soul and leaves a stain upon your heart I need you to wash mine clean You've felt it too and you need me Let me be your shelter, shelter from the storm outside Let me be your shelter, shelter from the endless night Your struggle with darkness has left you blind I'll light the fire in your eyes Reflected (On My Side) (Maria McKee) Look at all the happy people See their faces change as you walk into the room Hundreds of years in the eyes of strangers makes the back of your neck burn Free to pass, to conform, free to wonder what belongs to the bleeding man inside Freedom bears no credence when the lack of it's still being justified (in small minds) Some things never stir the hearts of men Some mistakes take more than mere regrets to mend In spite of all the twisting of truth I still see myself reflected in you But a mountain of distorted vision has me straining for a view Is it fair to say that it's... Reflected (on my, my, my side) Reflected (a wall exists and if I had a fist I'd bust it down) Reflected (in this I take no pride) If I had a wish then there would be no sides There should be no difference here, no mistrust or suspicion here What we are what we see To fabricate redemptive boasts confusing all condemning most is feigning fidelity (I'll) toss a glance into the pool, open my eyes and listen Wish the rippling surface pure, free of dissension Nothing can change the way of friends Nothing else can bring his chilly season to an end In spite of all the twisting of truth I still see myself reflected in you But lingering traces of deception burn blind Just like poison fumes I don't wanna know if it's... Reflected (on my, my, my side) Reflected (a wall exists and if I had a fist I'd bust it down) Reflected (in this I take no pride) If I had a wish then there would be no sides This trend of change sees nothin' changing, keep dreamin I wanna walk like you I wanna cry with you I wanna feel the way you do, feel the way you do Beacon (Maria McKee) Is there the space for our words? Is there a place here for us? Where can a faithful heart turn when generous grace gathers dust? Where can a faithful heart turn? Have we not labored enough? "Little babies learn that it's a blind, blind world and a generous grace gathers dust"... Beacon shining ever-bright The light at the end of the tunnel is in your eyes You're a lamp to my feet, you're the arms at my side and I will not be afraid to Victory hides in darkest places Shine Victory hides in darkest places Is there a space here for our words? Is there a place here for us? Where can a faithful heart turn when generous grace gathers dust? Where can a faithful heart turn when we have strayed from our trust? Keep the beacon burnin' 'cause it's a blind blind world Wheels I wish you never even loved me It makes it so hard to live without love now I know you're often thinking of me Sometimes I feel you so close by That it takes all my might to keeep from trying to track you down I can surely keep you out of sight Forget about the way you look, your smile, the way you speak But I've heard in the dead of night outside my window silence breaking With the solid destination of your lonesome speed I know the sound of your Wheels Yeah, yeah, yeah I know the sound of your Wheels Yeah, yeah, yeah I know the sound of your Wheels I had a handle on my sorrow My composure was in order if not sufficiently intact But every reminiscent echo brings a blow to chill my senses And my heart quakes and tenses 'til those moments pass I know the sound of your Wheels Yeah, yeah, yeah I know the sound of your Wheels Yeah, yeah, yeah I know the sound of your Wheels Ev'ry trace, ev'ry vision Brings my emotions to collision Past love's lost tokens Ev'ry cherished thought once spoken False hope of reconciliation Belfry (Maria McKee) Scarred, scourged, tattered, vessels frayed and frail The shield of Faith is battered but it will not lie down to let defeat prevail Pounding with a vengeance, hearts that beat with light For shining in the distance, a glimpse of the tower through the blood and fog Belfry, belfry, belfry ring Victory's chimes for us From the coldest mountain to the deepest brine Burst the shutters open and let the glorious sound rip apart the sky Belfry, belfry, belfry ring Victory's chimes for us Belfry hope has returned for good Dreams Come True (Stand Up and Take It) (Maria McKee & Gregg Sutton) Stand up and take it, it's all I can do None the worse for trying, neither useless nor improved With my heart wide open, sometimes I feel so small I've got my hopes up, please don't let me fall Dreams come true Say they do say they do say they do Dreams come true Say they do say they do say they do And I'll stand up and take it Stand up and take it, shoot at the moon Blind faith or hallucination, how can you tell between the two? When you love someone, you have to see it through I've got my hopes up, tell me I'm not a fool... Dreams come true Say they do say they do say they do Dreams come true Say they do say they do say they do And I'll stand up and take it I'm gonna stand up and take it, never to decline And if we're building castles more to the crime I'm gonna stand up and take it, I can't control my dreams They chase me while I'm waking, they plead and warm my sleep... Dreams come true Say they do say they do say they do Dreams come true Say they do say they do say they do And I'll stand up and take it The Gift (Maria McKee) You can trip smug smiling in your worn-out shoes Cast away the rhythm of eternity's fugue Grapple with the tongue of hope 'till it abandons you But you can't deny a gift You can falter at the well making heroes out of ghosts Stuffing yourself on thankless boasts But I have faith in your withering soul 'Cause you can't deny a gift A gift of One A gift to all The wings to soar and not to fall A gift of light in the abyss, high ground above the pit The choice to live That is the gift Though this gift lacks frivolous flair It doesn't sparkle in the sun and requires little care It's one of volume enough to spare Lay down defense and we will share Throw down defense and we will share > Inspiration (Maria McKee) Nobody knows about inspiration Where it may hide or it's destination Forever seeking the fire of its presence And when it finally hits in its struggles and fits it's as precious as silence What was bound in my soul has now burst beyond control Can't contain it anymore Your love drowns lonely cold With the satisfying warmth of Inspriation I was spent, I lacked inspiration So many false attempts had only left me vacant A tangle of treasures parched, fading and withered But your love is bold enough to bring a mighty flow to the driest river What was bound in my soul has now burst beyond control Can't contain it anymore Your love drowns lonely cold With the satisfying warmth of Inspriation All is alive, there is no distance How my spirit longs for your Inspiration So fill me up, fill me up, fill me up Dixie Storms (Maria McKee) I received a letter like so many others Mama said "How's life in the city, my your sister's grown And you've just missed those awful Dixie Storms Thank God they've passed, those dreadful Dixie Storms" I left so long ago I've forgotten just what for Except when a big city beckons you have no choice but to go And here, there are no Dixie Storms And the smoke on the street makes me wonder why I stay away From those gentle Dixie Storms When I was younger how I did wonder What made the sweet Georgia rain make me feel so warm And how God made a Dixie Storm And how I loved those Dixie Storms And the rumble in the sky brings a shudder to my soul Oh how I love those Dixie Storms © Little Diva Music
