How is it that Love can see a servant

Body Mind and soul?

When we look upon the body

Laboring for it's tithe

Knowing all along

That it's destined to die

Knowing all along

That it's destined to die

While our hands and feet assist us

In Everything we do

To manifest

All our ideas

Watch us garden and toil for our food

Create all the needs and the uses

For the tools and the schools

While the myths of drama play out on the wheel

Chorus:

Would you call it the truth

When we're destined to die?

Would you say it's no use

To even try to love it

Would you call it the truth

Or would you call it abuse

Would you say it's no use

To even try to love it?

Oh the body is so dependent on you

When you woke up one day beyond your soul

And you Realize that God IS in control

How is it

That love can see a servant?

Of the body mind and soul

Jeanna Gollihur and the angel that saved her back in '96

Come my love into my garden
Where I have turned the soil
And planted the seeds

Come my love into my garden
Where I have turned the soil
And planted the seeds

Come into my garden
Take and eat of the fruit of my labor
Come into my garden
Take and eat of the fruit of my labor
The fruit that bears my passions
The fruit that bares my vision

Love directed
A diversion for a lonely heart
Love directed
A diversion for a lonely heart
As a dry seed to the soil
See I haven't faded into nothing
I haven't rotted in the rain
The seed has sprouted and grown

I have used my mind
My creative hands and my soul
I have used my creative mind
My hands and my soul

Love directed
Fulfillment of an open heart
Come into my garden
The fulfillment of an open heart
I have grown from the earth
Oh oh oh now partake of my heart
For

I am

top

The depth of love here surprises me
It holds no aching pain
The love we've been for so long
It's lived it's not explained
I know of a love
That has spanned through time
And in but a moment Eternity is mine
It's yours and it's mine

We must have been caught
In the wink of an eye

I have a memory
Of a love unblind
And in but an instant Eternity is mine
It's yours and it's mine

You must be that light
In the twinkle of my eye
I must be that light
In the twinkle of your eyes
In the twinkle of my eye
In the twinkle of an eye

Mothers' Love

Lyrics Parker James

When you finally came by to see me
You invited all my friends
The production was three days time
And with money you made your amends
And as I look down upon you now
I wonder in my heart
What was so damned important that you insisted we live apart?

Chorus:
You're finally on your own now
Living life alone now
Said it didn't matter anyhow
A mothers Love forever gone
Just open your eyes my only son
Can't you feel it?
Can't you see it?

Standing at the chapel door you greeted everyone
Dressed in your best three piece suit
Shoelaces still undone
After managing a tear or two
It was one of Bett's songs that you chose
Something we may never understand
The meaning of love
Is not 'The Rose'

Chorus:
You're finally on your own now
Living life alone now
Said it didn't matter anyhow
A mothers Love forever gone
Just open your eyes my only son
Can't you feel it?
Can't you see it?

Just one last look before I go
The lid is almost down
And for all those standing here
You display an expected frown
And now the farewell is completed my body is carried away
Tell me was it worth it son
To pretend that you love me today?

Chorus:
You're finally on your own now
Living life alone now
Said it didn't matter anyhow
A mothers Love forever gone
Just open your eyes my only son
Can't you feel it?
Can't you see it?
Forever gone?

BYE BUY LOVE

AED DAE

I heard she bribed you with a car
Now so uninspired
You do her bidding,
When she reprimands

You hope she's kidding,
She can't see who you are
Now you understand
 

Chorus:
That's what cha get
That's what cha get when ya buy love
That's what cha get when you're bought
Bye buy love
Bye buy love
 

The divorce it left you such a mess

She's not holding back

She wants your money

She's hid away on crack

Hey it's not funny

Now the children must confess

that they understand.

Chorus:

That's what cha get
That's what chat get when ya buy love
That's what cha get when you're bought
Bye buy love
Bye buy love

Bridge: (spoken)
Little green notes
Plastic cards
Are perceived to measure the worth of a soul.
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
That's not what we get.

See him sleeping in the street
Who is this man?
Where is his mother?
Who will lend a hand?
Where is his brother?
And the people that he meets.
Who will understand?


That's what cha get
That's what chat get when ya buy love
That's what cha get when you're bought
Bye buy love
Bye buy love

Bridge: (spoken)
Little green notes
Plastic cards
Are perceived to measure the worth of a soul.
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
Why do they say we're worth more than gold?
That's not what we get.

Chorus: fini

In a Civilized World

10/02 ©2002 Jeanna Gollihur

 

Why say you want to protect me? Why say I need your protection? I thought we lived In a civilized world   In a civilized world In a civilized world In a civilized world In a civilized world   I thought we lived in a civilized world I must have been mistaken Weren’t the nobles supposed to keep A code of honor? Who changed the rules? This American Dream of mine can’t come true Since the nobles failed to protect me   In a civilized world In a civilized world In a civilized world In a civilized world

Aristocratic Wannabe’s Take it all As honor among thieves A war for oil could it be The Apocalypse I sure hope you believe   In a civilized world In a civilized world In a civilized world In a civilized world

 

 

 

Life’s Revelry

Maybe I may never see through different eyes

Maybe mine is not the story told

But there are times I can surely see

Life is just the way it aught to be

Maybe I will see I’m living fairytales

Images projected on a screen

Just like a cartoon character

Searching for her maker

As if Life Itself were waiting for it’s big scene

If you know what I mean

But there are times I can surely see

Life is just the way it aught to be

The lights are on

It’s time for the big scene

Camera action it’s Life’s revelry

But there are times I can surely see

Life is just the way it aught to be

Maybe I will see I’m writing alibis

Maybe I’m not the one who’s wise

But there are times I can surely see

Life is just the way it aught to be

 Yes there are times I can surely see

Life is just the way it aught to be

Perceptions

When you look at me this way

I'm not the same to you

It doesn't matter what I say

Even if it's not true

So I guess its just best

Just best to say nothing at all

Perceptions deceive

I understand this

But you won't believe

I can see

You're not who I see

So mean and so cruel

That's not who you are

So I guess it's just best to say nothing at all.

Two sides to every question

One answer is pure

If we look for the good in each other

The love is assured

The love is assured

Perceptions deceive

I understand this

But you won't believe

I can see

I'm not who you see

So mean and so cruel

That's not who I am

So I guess it's just best

To say nothing at all

Two sides to every question

One answer is pure

If we look for the good in each other

The love is assured

So I guess it just best

Just best to say nothing at all....

Hold Out     

dm em  F

 It wasn’t a mellow dance

And yet it was

There were times

Time went into slow motion

Ooooooooooh baby

I won’t dance with you anymore

I think it’s time now to detach

Chorus:

(1^st) The Longer I can hold out the weaker you become

The Strength I’d have inside me (2^nd The strength I have now)

If my heart weren’t on the run       (2^nd my hearts’ no longer on the run)

Oooh if I could hold out hold out hold out  (2^nd I can hold out I can hold out I can hold out)

I need the strength now                   (2^nd I have the strength now)

To hold out

I let myself get comfortable with that look in your eyes

I relaxed I relaxed way too much

Not waiting for you is so hard to do

Oh...

1st chorus

Bridge:  I’m not yours you’re not mine

You never will be you made it clear

Got to get myself busy find something better to do

Find someone better than you

2^nd chorus

Heart Beat 

Came into my program

Saw the light shining through

So much compassion

Baby it’s you

Baby it’s you

I tried to fight it    Not knowing how far it could go

I had such fear it   Blinded me to my very soul

How was I to know

How was I to know?

(chorus)

I feel your heart beat In my own

I know your eyes see where I belong

Baby it’s you

Baby it’s you

I know the man now        Inside of you

I know your heart man       And I know its true

Baby it’s you

And I know that it’s true

And when you take me       Into the night

You know you make me     Feel just right

Baby it’s you

Baby it’s you

(Chorus)

Bridge:

There is no other        I’ve ever known

And you’re my lover        Love has surely grown

Like I’ve never known

Love has surely grown

(Chorus)

I feel your heart beat with mine  2x

I feel your heart beat

By Jeanna Gollihur ©1986

I want you back again  

(F B A B chorus C#m)

Can’t explain this feelin’

I can no longer hide

I know I have been unkind

Thinkin’ of the good in you

Can’t bear to think of bad

It’s all it’s all in my mind

(Chorus)

I want you back again

It’s all I need

 I want you back again

It’s all wrapped up inside

Wrapped up inside

Forcing changes on me

I’m taking on another side

You’d see for yourself

I ain’t lying (I ain’t lying)

Yes you were right

I needed to grow independently

But when I have will you return?

(Chorus)

Bridge:  (Turn around)

(F) It’s not (A) always at (B) night

Although I know

Although I know we did it right

Sometimes empty is the day

And sometimes I’m just lonely

I’m just lonely anyway

Chorus 2x fini

By Jeanna Gollihur ©1985& Greg Gibson

Shadow Boxing

 Chorus:

Shadow Boxing with You again

Uhuhhum

Shadow Boxing with You again

Uhuhhum

 I I have heard that voice

Recognize the tone

Know we’re not alone

I I know what you mean

The shadows are extreme

This one wants to Scream

It wants to Scream

Chorus:

Shadow Boxing with You again

Uhuhhum

Shadow Boxing with You again

Uhuhhum

I I have heard that Sound

I know how this feels

I know that it’s not real

I reach deep into my heart

Deep into my soul

How much do I know?

How much do I know?

I know I’m

Shadow Boxing with You again

Uhuhhum

Shadow Boxing with You again

Uhuhhum

Shadow Boxing

Which Way

If you don’t start talking sense

I will lose my mind

Sitting here on the fence

We have flipped the dime

Which way will you go?

Which way will you go?

Which way will you go?

It’s hard to read between the lines

It hurts to even try

You tell me that you are mine

Please don’t make me cry

Which way will you go?

Which way will you go?

Which way will you go?

Aren’t we a funny sight

I don’t really want to fight

Out here in the middle of the road

Standing here all night

Little closer hold me tight

I am getting cold

 Which way will you go?

Which way will you go?

Which way will you go?

Safe Place

Safe Place in my Home if your heart is sore

You’re welcome at my door

No need to worry no more

I’ll relax your shoulders

We’ll share a cup of tea

There’s always a light to cope in

And the door is always open

Oh the door is Always open so come on in

When you need to heal

You can change how you feel

The time is always right

When you’re walking in the light

It just seems to happen that way

A different timing everyday

There’s a lot to do to keep you busy

You put your mind at ease

A Safe place in my home if your heart is sore

You’re welcome at my door

No need to worry no more.
