So Fine

SO FINE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I love to watch them walk 

I love to hear them talk 

They give me shivers up and down my spine 

I look into their eyes and I fall in love

It happens to me every time 

Oh, they're so beautiful

They're so wonderful

All those lovely ladies 

So fine 

They shake it, they don't break it

They know that I will take it

Anyway I possibly can 

I'm a sucker for a lady when they drive me crazy 

I'm a red-hot blooded man 

And one of these nights

I'm gonna lose this fight

Oh, you know they're so fine 

So fine 

They move and they groove 

They know they can't lose 

When they flash me that sex appeal 

When I hold them in my arms I just fall apart 

It's almost too good to be real 

Crazy thoughts enter my mind 

It happens all the time

Why do they have to be so fine?

All those sexy ladies - So fine 

I love to watch them walk 

I love to hear them talk 

They give me shivers up and down my spine 

I look into their eyes and I fall in love

It happens to me every time 

Oh, they're so beautiful

They're so wonderful

All those lovely ladies 

So fine

Why do they have to be so fine?

So fine

Eyes / Eyes

EYES / EYES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You and me, we can never be the same

Now that we have met our lives are gonna change 

I never knew such passion so bizarre 

It's crazy how I feel for you

It's going way too far 

But still the only light I see comes from your eyes

Something deep inside

Something you can't hide

As for me I guess I knew it all along 

It never felt so right so how can it be wrong? 

I'm hypnotized, getting paralyzed just looking in your eyes 

Sweep me away without a compromise 

I love the way you're looking in my eyes 

I'm hypnotized, getting paralyzed just looking in your eyes 

Sweep me away with your little lies 

I love the way you're looking in my eyes 

You and me, what we ever gonna say?

Now that we have kissed I need you everyday 

I never knew such passion of delight 

I need you in the morning and I need you in the night

But still the only light I see comes from your eyes

Something deep inside

Something you can't hide

As for me I guess I knew it all along 

It never felt so right so how can it be wrong?

I'm hypnotized, getting paralyzed just looking in your eyes 

Sweep me away without a compromise 

I love the way you're looking in my eyes 

I'm hypnotized, getting paralyzed just looking in your eyes 

Sweep me away with your little lies 

I love the way you're looking in my eyes

And still the only light I see comes from your eyes

Something deep inside

Something you can't hide

As for me I guess I knew it all along 

It never felt so right so how can it be wrong?

I'm hypnotized, getting paralyzed just looking in your eyes 

Sweep me away without a compromise 

I love the way you're looking in my eyes 

I'm hypnotized, getting paralyzed just looking in your eyes 

Sweep me away with your little lies 

I love the way you're looking in my eyes

Purple Sky

PURPLE SKY - Written by Carroll Bryant

Nobody noticed the purple sky

Nobody woke up and said, "Today, I die."

You got to buy a ticket if you want to take this ride

Nobody saw the angels as they did fly

Nobody thought they meant it when they said, "Goodbye."

You got to buy a ticket if you want to take this flight

And I believe

The rainbow that lives inside our mind

Came out that day but in disguise 

And evil love sought evil demise

On the wings of dragons in a purple sky

Facing Defeat

FACING DEFEAT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I've been through so much in my short life

It's hard for me to say

But it seems I can remember when I've seen better days 

Lovers come and lovers go just like a gentle wind 

Each one ending like the last one 

Facing defeat again 

To tell the truth is hard for some when lies are a part of life 

Picking up strangers in a barroom 

And going somewhere to share the night 

One night stands is all it's been and it's got to stop somewhere 

But it's so hard to find somebody special 

And to hope that they really care 

I need a lover to last forever and I also need a friend

But I can never seem to get it together

Facing defeat again 

You know, it never comes so easy

It's so hard to just get by 

Without a true love, I'm going crazy 

I'd like to dry the tears from my eyes 

So I'll keep on searching for all of the answers

I know they're hiding deep within 

I may not like all that I find because I'm facing defeat again 

And if you ever talk about me please don't you pretend 

That I was a winner and never a sinner 

Because I went down facing defeat to the end 

You know, it never comes so easy

It's so hard to just get by 

Without a true love, I'm going crazy 

I'd like to dry the tears from my eyes

I've been through so much in my short life

It's hard for me to say

But it seems I can remember when I've seen ... better days

Knight In Shinning Armor

KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOR - Written by Carroll Bryant

I'm a knight in shinning armor

Let me come to your rescue

I will fight all the evil that surrounds

I'm a knight in shinning armor 

Let me come to your rescue

I'm the mightiest knight in this town 

I've been watching you all evening as you sit all by yourself

A woman like you should never sit alone 

Let me buy you a drink and we'll dance for a while

And then my princess, you can take me home 

I'm a knight in shinning armor

Let me come to your rescue

I will fight all the evil that surrounds

I'm a knight in shinning armor 

Let me come to your rescue

I'm the mightiest knight in this town 

You won't have to worry about being neglected 

I'll give you more attention than you could ever stand 

Just take it easy, sit back and relax

I'll treat you like a woman if you treat me like a man 

I'm a knight in shinning armor

Let me come to your rescue

I will fight all the evil that surrounds

I'm a knight in shinning armor 

Let me come to your rescue

I'm the mightiest knight in this town 

I'm the mightiest knight in this town 

Suffocate

SUFFOCATE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Here you are again

Looks like you're facing the end 

You cannot pretend 

That you don't follow the wind 

Aint it funny how it seems 

Everybody gives up on their dreams 

There's no way to get release 

Touch the truth and see what it brings

Here's what I sing 

I suffocate in here

I suffocate in here

Inside this shell's a living hell

Her memory is what I fear 

I suffocate in here 

I suffocate 

Did someone let you down?

Are you gonna cry tonight? 

There is no easy way out

You got to fight the good fight 

Aint it funny how it goes

Someone else will steal the show

But you know you ought to know 

Nothing dead can ever grow 

Here's what I know 

I suffocate in here

I suffocate in here

Inside this shell's a living hell

Her memory is what I fear 

I suffocate in here

I suffocate 

Better know the secret sauce will splash across your face

Don't look at me with eyes like that 

You're a cat from outer-space

Better learn these things I burn will slap across your face

Don't talk to me with a tongue so sweet 

I might rape you in this place 

Here you are again

Looks like you're facing the end 

You cannot pretend 

You know this is the bitter end 

Aint it funny how it goes

Someone else will steal the show

But you know you ought to know 

Nothing dead can ever grow 

Here's what I know 

I suffocate in here

I suffocate in here

Inside this shell's a living hell

Her memory is what I fear 

I suffocate in here

I suffocate 

I suffocate

I suffocate

Women That Rock

WOMEN THAT ROCK - Written by Carroll Bryant 

"Living in the eighties and sex is everywhere. Lust is on the rise again as I can feel it in the ocean air. I like the kind of girls that life can bring to me because I like the casual fling. Quick affairs from sexy stares and love songs left to sing. Speak to me with your eyes, don't talk. I don't want women who do not understand, I want women that rock. Women that will rock all night long with me."

Oh no, another sweet sensation

Another invitation to break my heart 

I know - they promise you forever

When given the chance they never 

They just tell you lies and then they say goodbye

I want someone I can discover

An automatic lover

Not some misery

I want to be somebody's hero

Not another fucking zero 

I don't need the over-emotionally 

I want women that rock

Not women that talk 

Let's just party all night long 

I want women that rock

Not women that balk 

I need to party all night long 

Oh no, another dedication 

Another isolation of a broken heart 

Angel eyes that seem to look right through me 

This can never be 

She wants to be mine of a different kind 

Please spare me all the confrontations 

I need the good vibrations 

I'm too young to settle down 

So soft, so hot and so subtle 

Enough for me to cuddle 

Let me say right now that

I want women that rock

Not women that talk 

Let's just party all night long 

I want women that rock

Not women that balk 

I need to party all night long

"Women that rock don't waste my time with talk and if I had to break it down, I like it like that. Women that rock don't get nervous and balk at the perfect chance to hook up tight and dance, and I like it like that. I love women that rock."

Oh no, another infatuation

Another girl in desperation 

I tried one in the past and it didn't seem to last too long

She tried to break my heart in the middle of the dark

Her lies gave her away because they smelled like a nasty fart 

I want someone I can get loose with

Willing to expose her gift

Somebody who knows how to really give it

I want another sex adventure

A hug within surrender 

Somebody who knows what it means to really live

I want women that rock

Not women that talk 

Let's just party all night long 

I want women that rock

Not women that balk 

I need to party all night long 

Momma's Not To Blame

MOMMA'S NOT TO BLAME - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Momma's not to blame for my foolish behavior

Momma's not to blame for me being this way 

Momma's not to blame for me never not caring 

I'm the only one you can blame 

I'm the only one that you can blame 

I was born and raised in a gospel christian home 

Momma always taught me right from wrong 

My own decisions she'd let me make at my own will

I remember lectures on that topic still 

But I drifted to the wrong crowd and started making a lot of noise

Momma always said that boys will be boys

Then one night I got busted and they threw my ass in jail 

And to everybody I would tell 

I'd tell them 

Momma's not to blame for my foolish behavior

Momma's not to blame for me being this way 

Momma's not to blame for me never not caring 

I'm the only one you can blame 

I'm the only one that you can blame 

Well, I kept up with my crazy like I've always done before 

I got used to hearing the slamming of a cell door

Then a question was asked to me and by no surprise 

And this is what I told the warden as I looked into his eyes 

I told him

Momma's not to blame for my foolish behavior

Momma's not to blame for me being this way 

Momma's not to blame for me never not caring 

I'm the only one you can blame 

I'm the only one that you can blame

Precious

PRECIOUS - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Life

She is oh, so precious to my life

Her smile cannot be denied 

Her laugh, her cry

Stirs my emotions inside 

Love

She is all that love could ever be 

The point in which love could never reach 

It seems she just exceeds what love really means 

I'm proud of her, you see

Angel of the everyday 

A rainbow of colors after the rain 

So much full of happiness 

I always get that precious kiss 

To wish she stays the same would be selfish 

She's got a life to live someday 

Sun

She is like a gift from the sun 

To know that she's so special

The only one

No one can compare to all of her fun 

Such a tender gentle beat 

From a heart that truly seeks the love of life 

A star that shines so bright up in the sky at night 

A beauty for all to see

A gift for the world that's free 

Her name is Ami 

Ever so precious Ami

The brightest light to ever shine 

Turning up the volume of endless time 

I only need to reach out and say 

Ami, I love you 

Raincoat (Portrait Of A Man)

RAINCOAT (PORTRAIT OF A MAN) - Written by Carroll Bryant 

When you broke my heart 

I was so easily a fool

To watch you walk away 

There was nothing I could do

And so I heard them say that time never seems to change 

It's a sign of the rain 

Looks like rain today

Raincoat come cover me, cover this portrait of pain

Raincoat come smother me, don't want to feel this again 

Raincoat in the rain 

If I knew my mind then I wouldn't if I passed it on the street 

Everything's hanging on the edge and you are the mass that I long to meet

Scheduled to undress, the doctor creates names 

Give me something for the shame

Looks like rain today 

Raincoat come cover me, cover this portrait of pain

Raincoat come smother me, don't want to feel this again 

Raincoat in the rain

When those words you spoke 

I was moved so easily to cry 

To watch you dance on my hypothetical grave

Makes me wonder why 

It's all the same, I say, because time will never change 

You can just umbrella me 

It looks like rain today 

Raincoat come cover me, cover this portrait of pain

Raincoat come smother me, don't want to feel this again 

Raincoat in the rain 

Heart To Heart To Heart

HEART TO HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I'll meet you after midnight 

Same place, same time 

Work a little bit of love in our schedule 

Before we lose our minds 

We keep taking our chances 

Satisfaction guaranteed

Filler up and move them out

Before somebody sees

When are we gonna get credit for survival?

Can't we see that we are falling apart?

Right on time as I wait for your arrival 

Time to get a little heart to heart to heart 

Jump the gun and we're lost inside emotion 

We always finish what it is that we start 

Romantic rhythm as wild as the ocean 

As we get a little heart to heart to heart 

Early in the morning 

Another place, another time 

Looking at the both of your faces 

And now it's blowing my mind 

Now I can see why they say that life is dirty 

Wash my hands and my secret sin 

I know that nothing can change what we're doing

As we sit here waiting just to do it all again 

When are we gonna get stricken by the bible?

Can't we see we're ripping all the pages apart?

Who they hell are they gonna hold liable

If they catch us getting heart to heart to heart

This affair and all of it's notion 

Has got to end before we're cast into the dark 

I can't help but to sleep with all of this emotion

Every time we get a little heart to heart to heart 

Is this really what we thought that we wanted?

Cool is the rule but fools lead the way

Straight up, burning lust, flat out and busted 

Someone is bound to cry their feelings away 

I'll meet you after midnight 

Same place, same time

Work a little bit of sex into our schedule 

Before we lose our minds 

Have we lost our minds? 

When are we gonna get credit for survival?

Can't we see that we are falling apart?

Right on time as I wait for your arrival 

Time to get a little heart to heart to heart 

Jump the gun and we're lost inside emotion 

We always finish what it is that we start 

Romantic rhythm as wild as the ocean 

As we get a little heart to heart to heart

 


 

Original Sins

Original Sins - Written by Carroll Bryant 

We're all living in a world of sins 

What we're giving is what we're taking 

Sins

Lady touches man

Something's on the rise again 

Fantasies are real

The mind has the power

Are you my friend?

Can we dance like that again?

Fantasies surreal

Hour to the hour that passes 

Day and night

We're living on the edge 

It gets so exciting just thinking about it 

Until we're wedged inside the hottest evening 

We're all living in a world of sins 

What we're giving is what we're taking 

We're living in them

Sins

We can't decide between what we want

Or what we need

But the two just might be the same 

Who is to say? 

Not you - Not me

They are both one and the same 

I believe

When it comes to this and the shame 

It's the thrill for victory and agony of defeat 

But all in all we can't complain 

And yet we all will complain
We're insane
We still complain

Enough is just not enough 

We're all living in a world of sins 

What we're giving is what we're taking 

We're swimming in them

Drowning in them

Living in them 

Sins

Sometimes it gets so crazy

Everything we do seems to be for the sexual food

We're all starving after eating the sins

Mark's Shoes

MARK'S SHOES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

What is Mark gonna do? Mark is going through

Mark is gonna do

What is Mark gonna choose? Mark is gonna lose

If Mark doesn't do what he has to do 

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

He knew what he was dealing with when he touched her skin

He knew the score when she let him in 

She is an under-aged girl and he is a fool 

Now she's carrying his child so what is he gonna do?

What is Mark gonna do? Mark is going through

Mark is gonna do

What is Mark gonna choose? Mark is gonna lose

If Mark doesn't do what he has to do 

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

That one night of passion is gonna bring about his fall

Justifiable satisfaction for loving her all 

Twnety years in prison is what he could face 

Such a sad story told between leather and lace 

What is Mark gonna do? Mark is going through

Mark is gonna do

What is Mark gonna choose? Mark is gonna lose

If Mark doesn't do what he has to do 

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

Well I told him the girl is nothing but trouble

Just a sixteen year old teen with dreams in her head

He didn't even heed the heed of my warning 

She's looking to be married and he's fixing to dread - everything 

It's a new life

Better learn to sacrifice 

Baby lies

Are you satisfied? 

Stop your whining 

What is Mark gonna do? Mark is going through

Mark is gonna do

What is Mark gonna choose? Mark is gonna lose

If Mark doesn't do what he has to do 

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

I'm so glad I'm not in Mark's shoes

The Living Goes On

THE LIVING GOES ON - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Another young, pretty girl, gets abducted 

Everybody's hoping for the best 

Is she dead? 

She's been missing and we've been wishing

And the newspapers have another story

Then they find the body ... and she's dead

The living goes on 

Lunacy is like, all around us 

Every now and then it happens close to the heart

And to the home 

We can't keep pretending that we live in a perfect world 

That government will protect us 

Protect yourselves and your loved ones because 

The living goes on 

Do you want to spend the rest of 

Your life living with the tragedy when

Your baby is gone, and missing forever

Face down in a muddy river

Face down

Look around

Lunacy is standing right in front of you

When the crazy people kill

They really mean to kill 

When your child is dead

They are really dead

Everything is dead

The living goes on 

Education is the best way 

Teach the children not to be so naive 

Lunacy is dwelling deep inside the city

Just outside the country town

Deep inside your pity

The papers get their story

Just another story 

Nightmares are the story 

But

The living goes on

Dirty Little Secret

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You always made me believe that the sun

Would always shine

And then you made a path 

And headed in another direction

You gave your words to me and

Wrapped them up in pretty paper 

And with a pretty smile

Gave it to me without affection

Did you think that I would never learn?

You must have thought that someday

Surely

I would never keep it

So now I give it back to you 

So take it

And with it

You can keep your dirty little secret 

I read about you in the paper that I just invented

Another glass of something and 

I knew that I was hallucinating  

I couldn't act uninterested in it

So I just pretended that I read it twice

And still

I didn't know what it was saying

Did you think that I would look away?

Or see right through the wall

That you instigated

And so now I will knock it down

On top of you

And your little dirty secret

And take heed upon these words that I have written

Hearts and all that have been bitten

Spell it out in English with the blood you couldn't drink

And here me now

And screw you later

My heart's been broken by much greater

People than you are

So there!

So now

What are you gonna do?

You always made me believe that tomorrows another day

And then you made some kind of break

And headed for a new connection

You gave your words to me

And sent them with a bow

And with a gestured wink 

Gave it with some kind of power

Did you think that I would never learn?

You must have thought that someday

Surely

I would never keep it

So now I give it back to you 

So take it

And with it

You can keep your dirty little secret 

My Cup's Running Over

MY CUP'S RUNNING OVER - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's like a heart attack every time I see you

I don't know what it is girl but, I want to be near you

There always comes a time

When a man's got to do what a man's got to do

I can't fight this feeling girl

In love you got to strike when you know that it's true

My cup's running over

I can't slow down

My cup's running over

My cup's running over

I can't stop now

My cup's running over

(Love)

Until the bitter end we got to stand and face the fire

All that I can't help myself to is you and your desire

There always comes a time

When you just got to lay it all on the line

Getting sick and there is no cure girl

But you're love sure is making me feel fine

My cup's running over

I can't slow down

My cup's running over

My cup's running over

I can't stop now

My cup's running over

(Love)

Every step I take brings me closer to you

Every choice I make takes my breath away

Every day I wait for my dreams to come true

Every way I know, I know it's all for you

It's like a heart attack every time I see you

I don't know what it is girl but, I want to be near you

There always comes a time

When a man's got to do what a man's got to do

I can't fight this feeling girl

In love you got to strike when you know that it's true

My cup's running over

I can't slow down

My cup's running over

My cup's running over

I can't stop now 

My cup's running over

(Love) 

My cup's running over with love 

Part Of Me

PART OF ME - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Love never came to me

It always ran away 

I had to work hard for love

I'm still working hard today 

Believe me girl, it's true

I never had the feeling that is shared by only two 

I've always been lost at heart and my mind, confused 

Part of me is saying that I want you to stay 

Part of me is praying that you will walk away 

I'm just used to the hurt is all 

Always expecting some kind of fall 

Lying beside you my body starts to shake 

Wondering if you'll hand me my one millionth heart-ache 

I'm a big time fool 

Always been lost at heart and my mind, confused 

Part of me is saying that I want you to stay 

Part of me is praying that you will walk away 

I'm just used to the hurt is all 

Always expecting some kind of fall

When you get up and leave

Please do it real fast 

Don't give me time to think or even breathe 

Just do it real, real fast 

Don't look behind your shoulders, baby

Just do it really fast 

Go ahead and be like the rest, and do it real, real fast

Do it, baby, like you know you want to

Just screw it, baby, do it really fast

Don't even leave me memories 

Love never came to me

It always ran away 

I had to work hard for love

I'm still working hard today

Part of me is saying that I want you to stay 

Part of me is praying that you will walk away 

I'm just used to the hurt is all 

Always expecting some kind of fall 

Your Eyes

YOUR EYES - Written by Carroll Bryant

I was living my life just day to day

Waiting for something to blow me away

What a gentle surprise

Your eyes

I threw away my wishes and lost all of my faith

Then the moment that I saw you everything changed 

What a sweet sunrise 

Your eyes

Your eyes dancing like diamonds in the night 

Shinning like the stars up in the sky

Shinning down on me

How I love your eyes

Your eyes comfort me like a friend

Always a beginning but never an end 

And now I'm hypnotized 

How I love your eyes

I was just drifting and going my own way

Then when I met you I had nothing to say

I was paralyzed 

Your eyes

Never to believe that much about fate

Turning my back to it but be that as it may

Truth can't be disguised 

Your eyes

Your eyes swimming in an ocean of blue

Can only belong to someone like you 

Splash them all over me

How I love your eyes

Your eyes sparkle like a rainbow in a dream

With the power of love I know now what it means

To fantasize 

How I love your eyes

Your eyes comfort me like a friend

Always a beginning but never an end 

And now I'm hypnotized 

How I love your eyes

Your eyes dancing like diamonds in the night 

Shinning like the stars up in the sky

Shinning down on me

How I love your eyes

I was living my life just day to day

Waiting for something to blow me away

What a gentle surprise

Your eyes

Sweet Paranoia

SWEET PARANOIA - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Time, precious time

There is no true escape

It lingers on forever in my mind 

Love, precious love

One that has no cure

Lies dying all alone on the cold hard floor

Sweep it right out the door

Sweet paranoia

I think I'm falling for ya

Sweet, sweet, sweet paranoia 

Life, precious life

You know you cannot hide 

You think about it and feel it deep inside

Tears, precious tears

Of loneliness and glee

Cry them all, please, cry them all for me

It doesn't take a genius to see

Sweet paranoia

I think I'm falling for ya

Sweet, sweet, sweet paranoia

This is the way I roll when I'm covering up my tracks
The story is told of gold that you can't recover
And you never come back
All I got is this and it's a secret so don't you even ask
This is my glory so hold off any further attacks
I'm not attracted to you
Just your lust

Time, precious time

There is no true escape

It lingers on forever in my mind 

Love, precious love

One that has no cure

Lies dying all alone on the cold hard floor

Sweep it right out the door

Sweet paranoia

I think I'm falling for ya

Sweet, sweet, sweet paranoia

Sweet, sweet, sweet paranoia

Odyssey Of Love

ODYSSEY OF LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Castles in the sand

Legends of my memories

Time without hands

Journeys without destinies 

Kings of the land

Living in their royalty 

Looking at you, I know

I know

I know 

I know

That the ace of spades will never care

If the wind blows gently through your hair

My love for you is standing there

Look around

It's everywhere

Colors of my heart

Playing like a symphony 

Reaching in the dark

Talking to my fantasies

The green grass grows

High above my desperate dreams

Thinking of you, I know

I know

I know

I know

That fairy tales can never fly

If my love for you doesn't paint the sky

My love for you will never die

Look around

Say goodbye

Castles in the sand

Legends of my memories

Time without hands

Journeys without destinies

Please understand

It's not what it seems to be

Looking at you, I know

I know

I know

I know

That love becomes from the course of time

And never in the blink of an eye

The ace of spades will wonder why

You and I

You and I

The Banshee

THE BANSHEE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Leave her alone

And she’ll leave you alone

For no good could ever come

From loving the banshee

Listen to her screams

Wailing endlessly

Silently she will be

Nothing but a banshee

She drifts in the night under the moon

This is her mood 

Pain is her food

She searches the night for the taste of the nectar 

This is her time

Lost soul and mind

Leave her alone

And she’ll leave you alone

For no good could ever come

From loving the banshee

Listen to her screams

Wailing endlessly

Silently she will be

Nothing but a banshee

She watches it all from the edge of a shadow

Those are her eyes

A helpless demise

She waits for nothing, nothing at all

That is her life

There’s no compromise

Leave her alone

And she’ll leave you alone

For no good could ever come

From loving the banshee

Listen to her screams

Wailing endlessly

Silently she will be

Nothing but a banshee

And forever to be nothing to see

Forever to be nothing but a banshee

The Mountain

THE MOUNTAIN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I was hanging on the side of a dream 

When a man appeared next to me 

With words of comfort and a look in his eyes 

And I knew not to fear

And I knew I wasn't lonely 

And my body soon came alive with energy 

And he smiled

And he said

You can climb the mountain if you try 

This world is like a mountain and you can climb it

You don't want to die like you're wishing deep inside

Your soul is crying

You don't really want to die

Life is like a dream in that inside we are flurried 

And our eyes are blind

The meaning of it all may not be obvious 

But it's there so, keep hope alive

Faith for the sad ones

Still his words I could not break away from

You can climb the mountain if you try 

This world is like a mountain and you can climb it

You don't want to die like you're wishing deep inside

Your soul is crying

You don't really want to die

This man was a stranger to me and so was I 

I knew his motive and prayers and I knew why 

Why he had the power and gave me some conviction 

And knew the truth within my heart and every mountain 

Any mountain can be climbed 

I was hanging on the side of a dream

When the man came down to talk to me 

He gave me hope 

He gave me faith 

He gave me another reason to try 

You can climb the mountain if you try 

This world is like a mountain and you can climb it

You don't want to die like you're wishing deep inside

Your soul is crying

You don't really want to die

I will climb the mountain 

I will climb the mountain

Even if I don't make it I would have tried
