Alaska
Hey, got a message from Alaska, telegraph, S.O.S.
I, am feeling rather chilly myself so maybe I could borrow your coat.
Sometimes I need a little nonsense, just to get me through.
More than ever before, a little nonsense. Sometimes
I need a little nonsense, just to get me through this song.
More than ever before a little nonsense. Hey, how'about a hotdog?
Or some other food with no appeal.
I, feel like setting up my racetrack, electric cars,
cause I got nothing better to do.
Chorus: hhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
I got a message from Alaska, telegraph, S.O.S.

Flowers
The world has a disease. The world is clinical, cynical.
The world is nothing like me. For I think you are beautiful.
And I would pick some flowers for you,
love to pick some flowers for you.
Standing here holding you, as the world goes round.
Standing here loving you, as the world goes round.
And I have a disease. And you, my only antidote.
And I am willing to be. Your fool, your slave, your superhero.
And I would pick some flowers for you,
love to pick some flowers for you. Standing here holding you,
as the world goes round.
Standing here loving you, as the world goes round.

Instrument of my Master
I once was blind, but now I can see, all the things that are in store for me.
And all I have to do is say the words.
I once was sick, but now I am healed, my destiny has been revealed.
And now I hear the calling, now I hear the calling.
I heard about your death and I believed it.
I heard that you did rise and I received it. A lighted flame,
will soon go out, so it's time to take the blanket off.
And let your light shine. An instrument, that stays locked up,
never really serves the purpose. Of it's maker, the Creator. Chorus

One to the Third Power
Do you have to see the air, to know that it's there.
People breath air everyday, but question why we pray.
Take a picture from your past, boy time flies fast.
But time and time and time again, we prove we're only human.
If you knew everything, what's left to believe in?
I had a friend question me, I said believe and you will see that Faith,
is not a solution, it's the answer.
Cause one times one times one.   Equals one.
Do you have to see a dove, to know that there is love.
Love is love and love is true, the Spirit lives in you.
The Spirit is our guiding light, like a fire in the night.
But this fire won't hurt you,
so let your light shine through. Chorus

Chinook Winds
Biding my time, swallowing my pride, I seem to be at my wits end. Simply waiting,
twiddling my thumbs, so I pray to the one. Please help my brother, my best friend.
If I listened, I would learn, to take things slowly,  it will come, in turn. 
Chinook winds blowing from the west,
raising temperatures and tempers Santa Ana's from the east,
cooling my temptations. The harder I try, the higher you build your wall,
I think it's time I let you be just who you are.
I'm learning patience and I finally understand, but still I pray to God up above.
Please help my best friend to believe...  In your only Son.
If I listened, I would learn, to take things slowly, it will come, in turn.
Chinook winds blowing from the west,
raising temperatures and tempers.
Santa Ana's from the east, cooling my temptations.

Mustard Seed
Day, this day, in all that you do in His name,
He'll remember. Time, our time, is not the will, of His plan.
Calling out His name, they think you're insane.
When everything's right and the times flying by,
I will praise Him. When something is wrong and a lesson is learned,
I will thank Him. When I am in need,
I know He will be there, to guide me.
Life, new life, can only be gained, it you believe.
Faith, our faith, only needs to be, a mustard seed.
Calling out His name they think you're insane.
Calling out His name, they think you're insane.
When everything's right and the times flying by,
I will praise Him. When something is wrong and a lesson
is learned, I will thank Him. When I am in need,
I know He will be there, to guide me.

Maybe
Maybe, I got a message for you.
Maybe, it will save your life. I see, the darkness all around us.
We need, to stand in the light. I believe oh I believe,
I believe in Messiah. I believe oh I believe, I believe in the Christ.
It's a matter of, it's a matter of, it's a matter of life and death.
Don't you want to go? Maybe, it's just too heavy for you.
Maybe, you just think too much. I see, a life that's everlasting.
We need, to just sing these words. I believe oh I believe,
I believe in Messiah. I believe oh I believe, I believe in the Christ.
It's a matter of, it's a matter of, it's a matter of life and death.
Don't you want to go? I see, a life that's everlasting.

Dreams
When I look at you, I can't believe that you're mine.
I feel like a child, cause I'm so scared inside.
And if dreams came true, then you'd always be mine.
Together forever, till the end of time. And if there was just one
place that I could be, I'd be in your heart where you'd always
love me. So many things I want to say, hopin' you'll understand.
I'd tell you all of my dreams, but I'm afraid you might laugh.
And if I broke down and I began to cry, Would you just look at me
and wonder why. And if I could tell you that I loved you so,
Do you think you could promise to never let me go? Dreams
don't often come true, So I'm bound to wake up. And when I do,
I'll never forget your touch. Cause if dreams came true,
then you'd always be mine. Together forever, till the end of time.
And if I was dying and could have one thing, I'd wish for you
just to tell me that you love me.

Something More
Something something, something more, something that you need.
Someone someone, to hold you, when you're in need. You need something,
something more, you need something true. You need someone,
that will hold you, you need someone new. I'm the one for you.
Somewhere somewhere, in your heart, you missed a beat. I know I know,
I am the one, to give you what you need. Chorus And when I say
the words I love you, I know that you love me too. And when I
say the words I need you, I hope that you will need me too. Chorus

$Free of Charge$
He gives us all forgiveness, the past is gone and forgotten.
The present situation, is that love is truth and that's no lie.
And love is everlasting and in our future lies, new life.
A place where we belong, our home. And I tell you with this song.
It's free. Free! Free of charge. With His death and resurrection,
the power of Satan was destroyed. But Grace cannot be purchased,
it's a gift that can't be bought or sold. Now life is everlasting and
He shall reign, forever more. In the place where we belong,
our home. And I tell you with this song. It's free.
Free! Free of charge for you!

Right to Know
Oh what is going on?
In this world of ours, some selfish people,
don't want to own up to their mistakes.
They think they'll make it go away,
But there's a baby, who's got a shot at life.
Mommy doesn't want him, she's going under the knife,
And he don't even know, he's going far away.
People can't you see, he's got a right, a right to know.
And I do believe, he needs a chance to live, to grow.
Oh no, now mommy, did you give me a name,
Or am I a number on some sick doctor's resume?
Don't you want to know me?
I'm beggin' mommy, please don't let them tear me apart,
I thought we shared the same heart and body.
People can't you see, he's got a right, to life you know.
And I do believe, he needs a chance to live, to grow.
Mommy, they took my eyes away, now I will never see you.
Mommy, you let them tear me apart, while I was still inside of you.
Mommy, they took my arms away, now I will never hold you.
Mommy, you let them throw me away,
thank God there's plenty of room in Heaven.
Yeah yeah and I'll pray for you.
There are a couple of things that I would like to say in regard to this song.
This is a song about abortion from the child's perspective.
The purpose is not to condemn anyone but to offer a new point of view.   
-Thomas Ian Nicholas-

Pouring Rain
So your family's come to live with us and I am thrilled.
You know your sister's queer, your dad's a drunk,
your mommy's popping pills. So I threw them out, right out the door,
out in the pouring rain. There was a lumber jack, who came to visit me
one afternoon. I played the tambourine he got drunk and threw
up on my shoes. So I threw him out, right out the door, out in the
pouring rain. The devil came to me and tempted me with all his
worldly goods. So I grabbed him by his tail, swung him around
and smacked his head real good. Then I threw him out, right
out the door, out in the pouring rain. Rain Rain Pouring Rain.

Cool, for a little while
Safe for a while behind my trophies, I sit around and stew. 
Behind the t-shirts, CD's, posters, to me it's all brand new. 
But I'll be cool for a little while.  About 5 minutes.  Then I'll be gone. 
I've heard a million one hit wonders, in fact I own a few. 
And if I ever get that far, I'll be glad at least I knew. 
That I was cool for a little while.  About 5 minutes.  Then I was gone.
And if it all dries up tomorrow, at least I'll have a few. 
Memories of the night, I was a rock and roller and I got to jam with you. 
And we were cool for a little while.  About 5 minutes. 
Then we were gone. And now I'm gone.
