opening hymn

will i be forgiven for what i've done
i've took my days of innocence and left them in the dust
conversations never said
you could spend three days and never come out ahead
will i ever
be forgiven

there's no nine to five for the common man
there's just doing your duty
there's no weekends or sick days
there's just church on sunday
and i've never met a better man
i've never met a better man
there's no time like the present
to remember the way things used to be
i'm sitting on this front porch
entertaining the company

summer days go by
oh the gifts we find on the corner
and my dad on a good day
is the strongest man i ever knew
on a bad day too
and nothing we do can compare to old friends
the memories they're coming back in waves
the short walks to school
not ever knowing we had an angel
watching our backs and taking away the terror
the leaves they fall from the trees
and we say goodbye to good friends
and my dad on a bad day
making sure no one messes with a good man
and he'll stay there all night

i've been here for awhile
spent my sundays with the bible
someday we'll walk down this aisle
but i'm leaving home
i've packed my bags three times before
still never made it past that front door
i've said so many times before
that i'm leaving home
there's a suitcase by the front door
that's been waiting since the cold war
and he thinks that i won't make it
so he wants me to forsake it
he's to stubborn to tell me
that he doesn't believe that i can make it
so i'm leaving home

readings and passages

|
|
||
|
we've been playing this game for awhile
don't know your name but i like your style
playing piano as the moon glows
show me a solo that you wrote
oh carolina
where have you been all of my life
now we're talking becoming fast friends
tell me carolina is this where it ends

communion
02:41
|
|
||
|
been lying here for what seems like years
trying to make a decision
jumping around the same old things
talking about wealth and religion
what can i do should i make a move
what do you want me to do
holding my attention with those eyes
i'm starting to lose my train of thought
you ask me what i think of you
well i've been burned before and i do not want to get caught
oh no
you haven't moved
and i'm staring at you
what do you want me to do
with nothing to lose
you finally make your move
what do you want me to do
|

closing hymn
04:51
|
|
||
|
tried to control myself this time
but this time had no luck
losing ground in this place for the last time
is a bad way to go again
whenever the fog rolls in
i'll be looking out my window
and i will be wondering
if i'll ever see you again
try to sleep away the pain
i had you in my grasp then i let you slip away
too many questions not enough answers
i guess that's the way it will always be
ever see you again...

benediction

|
|
||
|
i spend my day talking to deaf ears
that time is precious if you can steal it
i doubt that i will last six more years
as my body's breaking down i can feel it
but life is good
life is good
life is so good
yeah life is good
life is good
life is so good
it clear to me that i spent too many days
looking at the lake but never jumping in
i spent more time with my fearful ways
and my friends they tried to teach but i never listened
