My World

MY WORLD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

When you rolled your eyes I wasn't sure if it was meant to be 

Then you walked on by, and carefully you glanced at me

With a smile

I took your hand and led you on into a softer song 

Disneyland is cruel and it doesn't belong in the things we say 

In my world we will play together 

My world is here 

My world is free

My world won't disappear 

I have you here with me 

And forever we can be who we are, girl

In my world

I watched you take a drink and you teased me with your lips

Then you made a darting move when you leaned into our first kiss

I'm alive

I pulled you into my arms and danced with you inside my charms 

Disneyland is wrong, but you can't be alarmed 

In my world we are strong 

My world is here 

My world is free

My world won't disappear 

I have you here with me 

And forever we can be who we are, girl

In my world

What is in our hearts is true 

Who needs to think when they are looking at you? 

So beautiful the one

Shinning like the sun 

And my whole world is done 

Now the morning time has arrived and I dance just to get inside

A love that has no fear yet cries so many tears 

The morning has arrived 

The time for you and me and two hearts that can believe 

It was meant to be 

And Disneyland is a dream

My world is here 

My world is free

My world won't disappear 

I have you here with me 

And forever we can be who we are, girl

In my world

Our world

I Got A Broken Heart

I GOT A BROKEN HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant 

It's been such a really long time and I wanna call you tonight

Just to see how you're doing and what's going on 

Hoping everything is all right 

I still can't believe that we're broken up and living completely apart

I still can't believe I'm still in love 

And I got a broken heart 

It always gets colder come early September when winter is coming on 

And I'm getting older and my face gets more wrinkled 

I spend more and more days all alone 

I still can't believe I haven't been able to make me a whole brand new start 

I still can't believe you no longer like me

And I got a broken heart 

Well, can't you hear my soul crying?

All of this pain going in vain 

All of these bitter sweet memories

Leaves me in the rain and going insane 

Each night it's getting harder and harder and you know how I fear the dark 

Each night reminds me that I am so lonely
And I got a broken heart 

I got a broken heart 

Where's my new beginning? 

Where is my new life?

Where is my new love affair? 

Where is my new wife?

There is no new fire 

There isn't even a spark 

There is no desire because I got a broken heart 

I got a broken heart

Mississippi King

MISSISSIPPI KING - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Mississippi man, and I'm lonely

Mississippi man, and I need someone to hold me 

Tonight 

If you can

Mississippi man

Mississippi king 

Born dirt poor and I lost my brother Jesse

Growing up alone and there was no other than me 

Loved my mother

She was my only comfort 

Tupelo was hot on a summer day 

Moved around so much and then we ended up

In Tennessee 

It didn't really matter much back then

Not to me 

My mother and my father was my

Only family

My high schools days soon quickly faded

Life played my fate to me

Had a destiny and my whole entire life

Just shattered 

Mississippi man, and I'm lonely

Mississippi man, and I need someone to hold me 

Tonight 

If you can

Mississippi man

Mississippi king 

Uncle Sam called my name 

I did my duty

Never would I be the same 

Goodbye mother

I never did lose the pain 

Met the one and I brought her into 

My world

The girl I would only love and she

Would come to leave me eventually

I loved her

I knew she knew that I did 

We were meant to be

Then came Lisa Marie 

And if I had the chance to change the way I lived

My life

I would buy an Hawaiian day and stay with them forever 

But there is just no way to change our yesterday and then

We all will fade away 

As if tomorrow never came 

The rest of me is history

The times that we shared

Thought we cared

And everything 

It's the memories that play forever in our minds

Our souls

Just like that Hawaiian day we bought and then forgot

We sold 

There's just no way that we can change tomorrow

Or our yesterday 

Fade away

Mississippi man, and I'm lonely

Mississippi man, and I need someone to hold me 

Tonight 

If you can

Mississippi man

Mississippi king 

Someday Soon

SOMEDAY SOON - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Someday soon

I'm gonna find her

I'm gonna hold her

Love her warm and true 

Someday soon

I'm gonna kiss her

She'll be my whole world

Forever is what I'm gonna do 

Someday soon

Love is gonna find me

I'll be so happy

She'll be happy too

Someday soon

My search will be over

We'll be together 

No more feeling so blue

Someday soon

Someday soon

I'm gonna find her

I'm gonna hold her

Love her warm and true 

Someday soon

I'm gonna kiss her 

She'll be my whole world

I'll be her whole world too

Someday soon

The Demon Is Gone

THE DEMON IS GONE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I knew a man 

He had what it took but didn't understand

He had a dream

With sincere in his eyes he said, "You're just like me"

Inspiration came without warning

But precious time did slip away 

It was all just part of a journey 

And reason begot from the words he did say 

And that

The demon is gone 

Don't know where he went 

He just disappeared 

The demon is gone 

I was there just like you are here 

The demon is gone

And the demon to leave is what you must fear

I shook his hand 

I have what it takes but do I understand?

I have a dream

Don't want what he is to happen to me 

Inspiration comes without warning 

But precious time is slipping away 

Is it all just part of the journey?

Will reason begot from the words I can't say

And that

The demon is gone 

Don't know where he went 

He just disappeared 

The demon is gone 

I am here just like he was there 

The demon is gone

And the demon to leave is what I must fear

I know this man 

I was in love with his daughter

He stands alone in his own rain 

I couldn't stand to bear his growing pain 

Looking at him and knowing we were the same 

I don't want what he is to ever happen to me 

I don't want to lose this dream

Inspiration still comes without a warning 

But precious time has slipped away 

It's just all part of the journey 

And reason begot from the words I can't say 

And that

The demon is gone 

Don't know where he went 

He just disappeared 

The demon is gone 

I was there just like you are here 

The demon is gone

And the demon to leave is what you must fear

The demon is gone

The demon is gone 

The demon is gone 

The dream is still alive

Kiss Me Tonight

KISS ME TONIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Kiss me tonight 

Don't you know that it will be all right 

Kiss me tonight and then we'll make love 

We've been seeing each other for so long now 

We've been boyfriend and girlfriend 

But we're still not lovers

It'll have to change somehow 

You know that I don't understand 

Why we hardly even hold each others hand

But tonight that's gonna change because I'm taking charge 

And then 

You're gonna see a different man 

Oh, baby

Kiss me tonight 

Don't you know that it will be all right

And when I make my move on you honey

I don't want to hear you say stop 

If I've been a good enough boyfriend 

Then let me come on over 

And then maybe in the end 

We will be lovers 

Kiss me tonight 

Don't you know that it will be all right 

Kiss me tonight and then we'll make love 

Kiss me tonight 

You don't have to put up a big fight 

Just kiss me tonight and then we'll make love

I've done my part and touched your heart

Now my love, you have to touch me

I've done my thing and everything 

Now my love, you have to set me free

Set me free

Let down your fence and jump all over me 

I've been patient long enough

It's time for you to just grow up 

Kiss me tonight 

Don't you know that it will be all right 

Kiss me tonight and then we'll make love 

Kiss me tonight 

You don't have to put up a big fight 

Just kiss me tonight and then we'll make love

And we'll make love

And we'll make love

Make love to me, baby

Kiss me tonight

NOTHING TO HIDE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

So you think I'm fooling around 

Because I go out every night on the town

And you think everything I say is a lie

I got nothing to hide 

You can keep your accusations 

I don't really give a damn

Key To My Heart

KEY TO MY HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant 

The atmosphere is good tonight as I catch you with my hungry eyes

Your dress shows a lot skin so what's the chance that I get in?

I see you talking like you are bored 

You're always glancing at the door

Is this party dragging you too?

Where will you go when it is through?

I want you in my arms 

I want to kiss you (every part) 

I want to roll you into ecstasy 

And give you the key to my heart 

Have I found you a little too late?

Have you run out of relationship tears?

Are you ready for me to make a play

Or do you need a few hundred more years?

You stand so high in my eyes and I can't let you know

I wish to take you into the night on a ride with me you can go 

I want you in my arms 

I want to kiss you (every part) 

I want to roll you into ecstasy 

And give you the key to my heart 

I want you skin to skin 

I want this love to start 

I want to love you again and again 

Until you own the key to my heart 

I read between the lines

Picking up on your vibe

This comes just in time 

Make or break me on the edge of the night 

I want you in my arms 

I want to kiss you (every part) 

I want to roll you into ecstasy 

And give you the key to my heart 

I want you skin to skin 

I want this love to start 

I want to love you again and again 

Until you own the key to my heart 

I want you to have the key to my heart

Jayne And The Lonely Boy

JAYNE AND THE LONELY BOY - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just another Friday night out in the heat  

Jayne was a working girl working her street

Then she saw him 

That old lonely boy

She waddled up and saw his money in hand

It didn't take a genius to understand 

And the game 

Was sharing some lonely joy

And they made each other feel all right 

Even if it was for just one night 

It was Jayne, and the lonely boy 

It was Jayne, (Jayne, Jayne, Jayne) 

And the lonely boy 

They got a room just a block away 

A rookie cop was looking for some action that day

He saw Jayne

And the lonely boy 

He figured that he would be so wise 

Out to bust a couple of losers that night

I'm talking Jayne

And the lonely boy

And they made each other feel all right 

Even if it was for just one night 

It was Jayne, and the lonely boy 

It was Jayne, (Jayne, Jayne, Jayne) 

And the lonely boy 

And then so he waited until they were done 

Then he busted down the door as he pulled out his gun

He saw Jayne 

And the lonely boy

He couldn't believe what he saw was true 

He looked into her eyes and he mumbled, "It's you?" 

It was Jayne

And the lonely boy

   

Nobody's sure what happened from there

Tagged murder of two and suicidal nightmare

Of Jayne

And the lonely boy 

The papers said that a cop killed his wife

He killed a strange boy and then he took his own life

Goodbye Jayne

Goodbye lonely boy 

And they made each other feel all right 

Even if it was for just one night 

It was Jayne, and the lonely boy 

It was Jayne, (Jayne, Jayne, Jayne) 

And the lonely boy 

And the game was sharing some lonely joy 

Not Afraid

NOT AFRAID - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I can't face the night alone

Sounds of silence destroys my soul

Pretty stranger would you take me home?

Silent footsteps walking through my door

It's a monster that I so adore

Taking me away for evermore 

The devil looked inside my eyes tonight

I spit on his face by sheer surprise

I lie awake until the sun will rise

I am not afraid 

No, I am not afraid anymore

I am not afraid 

I don't care what you might say

I am not afraid 

My thoughts go surfing upon a sea

A wave has come to carry me

Hands are reaching from the deep 

I fight to open up my eyes again

I look everywhere but there's no friend

Which is worse to ascend or descend?

The devil looked inside my eyes tonight

I slap his face with all of my might 

I lie awake until I realize

That I am not afraid 

No, I am not afraid anymore

I am not afraid 

I don't care what you might say

I am not afraid 

Turn my back on the world today 

And what do I get? A memory I can't forget

Turn my back on my fellow man 

And I will be human once again 

Inflicting pain on all of them 

I might walk away

Watch me

Just watch me

But I am still not afraid

Dare me

I don't care

I don't care what you might say

This is my time

This is my day

And I am not afraid 

No, I don't care what you think or what you even might say

But I am not afraid 

Captured By Your Love

CAPTURED BY YOUR LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Woke up in the morning

Just another day like yesterday 

Except for this morning

I had this feeling inside of me

Girl, I can't figure out why I love you like I do

Don't know how I got so extremely close to you 

I guess I was captured by your love, baby

Captured by your love

Yes, I was captured by your love, baby

When I was captured by your heart 

Captured by your love, baby

I was captured by your love

Yes, I was captured by your love, baby

When I was captured by your heart

Never in my life, girl

Has a woman meant so much to me 

I guess I never really knew 

How being in love could set your spirits free

But now I know that you're really here to stay 

So there's nothing left to do but to go our merry way together

I was captured by your love, baby

Captured by your love

Yes, I was captured by your love, baby

When I was captured by your heart 

Captured by your love, baby

I was captured by your love

Yes, I was captured by your love, baby

When I was captured by your heart

And I can't figure out why I love you like I do

I don't know how I got so extremely close to you

I guess I was captured by your love, baby

Captured by your love

Yes, I was captured by your love, baby

When I was captured by your heart 

Captured by your love, baby

I was captured by your love

Yes, I was captured by your love, baby

When I was captured by your heart

By The Graveyard

BY THE GRAVEYARD - Written by Carroll Bryant

I can hear the spirits calling out my name

I can see the shadows and they're scaring me insane 

It started with a vision

Just a haunted dream

But now the situation's haunting my reality 

When I close my eyes at night I can hear them laugh

With red blood in a tub I had to take a bath 

By the graveyard 

I stop, I look, I listen 

By the graveyard 

I see what I can't believe

By the graveyard 

With my superstitious vision 

In the graveyard they were shouting at me 

Everybody's saying that I'm a crazy man

It's so hard for human hearts to try and understand

That I can say I know it

The new world came to me 

But I will have to show it and make everyone believe 

When I close my eyes at night they dig up from the ground

They take my soul for a stroll, man, we just walk around 

By the graveyard 

I stop, I look, I listen 

By the graveyard 

I see what I can't believe

By the graveyard 

With my superstitious vision 

In the graveyard they were shouting at me

I can hear the spirits calling out my name

I can see the shadows and they're scaring me insane 

It started with a vision

Just a haunted dream

But now the situation's haunting my reality 

When I close my eyes at night I can hear them laugh

With red blood in a tub I had to take a bath

By the graveyard 

I stop, I look, I listen 

By the graveyard 

I see what I can't believe

By the graveyard 

With my superstitious vision 

In the graveyard they were shouting at me

Time For Love

TIME FOR LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

It could have been something 

Oh, but now baby, we will never know 

And now you know it's nothing

Oh, but baby, so the story always goes 

Was it that we were too busy?

We just didn't want to slow down 

It's a life time full of the crazies 

You know how I'm feeling right about now 

You know it doesn't matter 

Everything in their own time 

It's the way you think you're flattered 

Let it go right now before it blows your mind

Everybody wants to think that we're running out of luck

Running out of touch

But everybody I know is dumber than dumb

Dumber than a box of rocks 

Maybe this is a good time to fall in love

Time for love

Do we know what is missing?

Oh, but baby you know that we do 

And through all the French kissing

Oh, but baby, you know you loved it too 

Was it that we were too little in doubt?

Holding hands on our cloud 

Two tender hearts so brittle and so young

Five minutes and we're done 

So easy for to break 

Memories for goodness sakes 

It's the way you always stared

At the time I didn't care 

Everybody wants to think that we're running out of luck

Running out of touch

But everybody I know is dumber than dumb

Dumber than a box of rocks 

Maybe this is a good time to fall in love

Time for love

This could be the blow mind 

This could be the right time

This could be the gold mine 

This could be the best time to fall in love

Everybody wants to think that we're running out of luck

Running out of touch

But everybody I know is dumber than dumb

Dumber than a box of rocks 

Maybe this is a good time to fall in love

Time for love

You know how I'm feeling right about now, yeah 

The Beast Within

THE BEAST WITHIN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Whatever you do

Where ever you are

There is something lurking at you 

No matter how close

No matter how far 

There is nothing you can do (about it)

You can't run and hide and so you try to win

You can't lock your doors from inside 

It's still gonna get in (It's already been there)

Because the beast will find you

Always to remind you 

That you have no one that you can depend (on) 

The beast will hunt you

The beast will touch you 

Soon to learn that the beast is within

The beast is in you

Only time will tell 

Of what will become 

There is something clawing at you 

Heaven or hell

Youth's eternal fun

There is nothing that you can do (about it)

You just can't take control 

You will lose your mind 

Can't lock your heart from your soul (Like a blind man)

Because the beast will find you

Always to remind you 

That you have no one that you can depend (on) 

The beast will hunt you

The beast will touch you 

Soon to learn that the beast is within

The beast is in you

Just take a look behind you

The beast is gonna find you 

No one can help you

Not even your friends 

The beast will hunt you

The beast will fill you (up)

You ought to know that the beast is within

You know you better know that 

Whatever you do

Where ever you are

There is something lurking at you 

No matter how close

No matter how far 

There is nothing you can do (about it)

Because the beast will find you

Always to remind you 

That you have no one that you can depend (on) 

The beast will hunt you

The beast will touch you 

Soon to learn that the beast is within

The beast is in you

My Spirit

MY SPIRIT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

One of the living 

Going nowhere no matter how far you go

You're gonna come back some day 

You won't

You're gonna die though

And all the people who remembers you

Are gonna die themselves one day too

And then you'll be forgotten  

Gonna leave my spirit here

Gonna leave my spirit

Gonna leave my - Spirit here 

One of them Jesus things

Going nowhere no matter how far we go

We're gonna come back some day

We won't

We're gonna die though

And so we tell a story and the story goes on and on 

For the rest of the world we keep turning

Where are we heading? 

Gonna leave my spirit here

Gonna leave my spirit

Gonna leave my - Spirit here 

It's just a matter of the lights inside of my head

I'm just a living illusion and I do not give a damn 

I be living my own dream from somewhere deep within

I am 

I am dead

I am not afraid 

I see my family

Mother is reaching out to me

One them things I don't believe

It's just a dream I say

Nothing to learn here 

Still going nowhere 

Gonna leave my spirit here

Gonna leave my spirit

Gonna leave my - Spirit here 

Gonna leave my spirit

Days That Pass (Part 4)

DAYS THAT PASS (PART 4) - Written by Carroll Bryant

And the days that pass didn't seem to last

Nobody cries

Nobody laughs 

And everyone just sat there

Day after lifeless day 

The only words spoken were words of pray 

They prayed for the end 

They prayed for a friend 

They prayed for the sinners

And then they prayed again 

They prayed for me

They prayed for you 

They prayed for the light of god

To shine upon them too

They prayed in his name to come and stop the pain 

They prayed for Jesus to lend a helping hand

And then they prayed again 

But the days that pass

And the time drew near

Until days that pass brought us all to here

The morning of someone's execution

Someone's last day on earth

Someone's life evaluation

Imagine to the rest

To be shown the best this world has to offer

And then you know at last

That days have certainly passed

So from the camera's eye 

We witness ourselves to die

Maybe for no reason 

Maybe not unsubscribed 

Has everyone gone mad?

Some look a little sad 

Some were probably unhappy 

Others were probably glad

And the days that pass

Are days that passed

Are times we lost

And won't get back 

And days that pass will pass

Heaven's Got To Go

HEAVEN'S GOT TO GO - Written by Carroll Bryant 

In a world of problems life won't leave you alone

So many people talking 

So many without a home 

A preacher man is standing with the money in his hand 

It's all about abusing 

It's all about them 

Nobody touch my spirit 

Nobody touch my soul

Everybody, can you hear it?

Everybody, heaven's got to go

Modern crime is easily a protected human right 

So many screams in the day

So many screams at night 

The danger is that someone wants to blow someone away 

Lurking in the shadows 

Lurking inside a grave 

Nobody touch my spirit 

Nobody touch my soul

Everybody, can you hear it?

Everybody, heaven's got to go

Our morals are a little bit too many too few

I don't know what I should do

Kings are laughing at peasants and they're laughing at you

We don't know what to do 

Gathered in the streets  

It's just so difficult to tell who the hell you will meet

I got my own mind so leave the rest of me alone 

I'm living in my own time and watching it from my home 

Don't need advice from your words 

You aren't saying anything that I haven't already heard 

Just keep your own point of view

(To yourself)

I don't want to hear it 

Want nothing more to do with you 

Nobody touch my spirit 

Nobody touch my soul

Everybody, can you hear it?

Everybody, heaven's got to go

I got my own mind so leave the rest of me alone

Doing Better Now

DOING BETTER NOW - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I'm doing better now than ever before

Doing better now, now that I've opened the door 

Let the sunshine in 

Let it all begin again 

I don't know but somehow I am doing better now 

I never would have believed it with my own ears

What I had to hear you say to me 

Well girl, you said goodbye

And you didn't even tell me why 

Well I guess that's just the way things have to be 

You know I took it oh, so very hard 

Watching you go wasn't the easiest thing to do 

It tore me all apart 

And I knew I had to make a new start 

I still can't believe it after all we been through 

But I'm doing better now than ever before

Doing better now, now that I've opened the door 

Let the sunshine in 

Let it all begin again 

I don't know but somehow I am doing better now 

No matter who I'm with you're still on my mind

And you can't say we never had a good time 

You might not be my number one

But you know girl, we had a lot of fun 

Forget the good old days just bake in tomorrow's sweet sunshine 

I'm doing better now than ever before

Doing better now, now that I've opened the door 

Let the sunshine in 

Let it all begin again 

I don't know but somehow I am doing better now 

Let the sunshine in 

Let it all begin again

I don't know but somehow I am doing better now 

Safari Road

SAFARI ROAD - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I look back to yesterday 

And see all the words I tried to say 

I walked the rocky road every which way 

I didn't waste no time 

I gave everything every time 

Now, I'm just tired 

I carried all of the load 

As we traveled down safari road 

I prayed for you 

I prayed for your soul

As we traveled down safari road 

I look up to the sky

And see the tears that you cried all night 

I spoke to you the truth and you know that ain't a lie 

I didn't waste a thing 

I gave to you everything 

Now, I'm just done

I carried all of the load 

As we traveled down safari road 

I prayed for you 

I prayed for your soul

As we traveled down safari road

I look down to the ground

Then lift my head up and look around

I wonder where I am

I've become a different man

I can see nothing anymore 

I carried all of the load 

As we traveled down safari road 

I prayed for you 

I prayed for your soul

As we traveled down safari road

Come, carry me away my angels ....
