NEAL MORSE LYRICS

1. It's Not Too Late

It's not too late to change your mind
The soul will lead you'll follow close behind
And your love will leap along
It's been asleep for so long

The drip becomes a gushing pour
You'll know it all at once what your life is for
Now it's open just a crack
When you get the chance....don't hold back

[CHORUS:]
It's not too late to change
It's not too late to be exchanged
Oh - it's not too late
The door is open wide
It's not too late to jump inside
You can twist your fate
It's not too late

There's nothing more that we can do
We chose it on our own as you will too
It can happen anytime
If you're twenty-one
Or ninety-nine

[CHORUS (to end)]

2. All The Young Girls Cry

She was seventeen years, three months and seven days when she met THE ONE
The novel that was her life had just begun
But after six weeks it was already A. D. meanin' after death
And chapter two was all just remorse and regrets

[CHORUS:]
Now it's so much for believing
So much for the lie
But that's alright - all the young girls cry
Kiss him for the last time
Kiss your heart goodbye
But that's alright - all the young girls cry

She always thought if she could color her world she'd color it in blue
She always felt she felt too much - that much is true
But inside she was clean and pure; insecure as the driven snow
But that's before he made his tracks and let her go

[CHORUS]

And she won't be the same
At least not for the rest of today......

[CHORUS (to end)]

3. Leah

Leah's mother and me were quite a pair
So we looked in the paper for a dog and a house to share
Her and her little girl came
Suddenly I had to explain
Things like lightning - why is it so mad at the rain?

Leah's mother left one morning in an April fog
Leaving me the saddest little girl and a nasty dog
Leaving me to answer why
When Leah asks as she cries
"Why did she leave me this way?"
And softly I say...

[CHORUS:]
"Leah - mothers love their daughters
I'm sure that she still cares for you now
And Leah - lay upon my shoulders
I'll be taking care of you now"

Leah's mother's been gone for a very long time
And Leah and me are sorta like the blind leading the blind
But when she asks about the fallen Queen
Sometimes I want to say somethin' so mean
But I hold my pain inside
And softly I say...

[CHORUS (to end)]

4. The Angels Will Remember

Gone - that moment just passed by
It's written in the sky out there
I hope it's somewhere
Pictures - the remnants of our lives
No camera can see quite that far
It can't see how we are

[CHORUS:]
I hope when I die
I can somehow still be with you
And re-live right now
That's all I really want to do
If time forgets when we were together
I hope the angels will remember

Smiles a million lifetimes wide
And all the tears we've cried can't be
Like drops in the sea
The big screen
That flashes at the end
I hope it lifts us high and then I will get
To see you again

[CHORUS]

Take a picture of this with your heart and keep it safe forever
Take a picture of us with your heart and we will be together

[CHORUS]

Gone - that moment just passed by...

5. So Long Goodbye Blues

Wednesday
I was yesterday's news
Caught in the old
So long goodbye blues
Waiting for summer's light on my door
But summertime dreams don't live here no more

[CHORUS:]
Seems like that's all there is
So long goodbye
No matter what I wish
Or how hard I try
And me I can't lose those
So long goodbye blues

Sometimes I go out
With friends that I know
And I see the smiling people all in a row
And I wonder why they don't feel like I do
Do their lovers believe?
Do their wishes come true?

[CHORUS]

I was yesterday's news
Caught in the old
So long goodbye blues
Waiting for summer's light on my door
But summertime dreams don't live here no more

6. The Change

Calling all people wherever you are
Get ready for the changing that's not very far and you know...
You know... yes, you know... you know

It's about changing time
It's about peace of mind
It's about falling in love for the very first time
It's about dreams and flight
Going beyond wrong and right
When the change comes everything'll be alright

Calling all people - gather around
Get ready for the changing that's got to come down and you know...
You know... yes, you know... you know

It's about changing time
It's about peace of mind
It's about falling in love like the very first time
It's about losing face
So we can win the real race
When the change comes you're gonna find your place

When the time will come - we don't know when
When the last is done we'll meet again
When the hour is here look to the sky
When the answer comes we'll all know why

Calling all people wherever you are
Get ready for the changing that's not very far

It's about changing time
It's about peace of mind
It's about falling in love like the very first time
It's about dreams and flight
Going beyond wrong and right
When the change comes everything'll be alright

It's about coming home
It's about children grown
It's about falling in love like you've never known
It's about losing face
So we can win the real race
When the change comes you're gonna find your place

People get ready the change is comin'...

7. Broken Homes

Little Tommy's waitin' for someone to see
That he's left his light on
His Mamma cries herself to sleep in front of the old T.V.
Since the man of the house is gone

And Tommy sits and dreams about how happy they will be
When Daddy comes back home
He doesn't know he never will come home
And he'll be one more child fathered on the phone

One more child growin' up half alone in a broken home

You see Tommy's Mom got married when she was seventeen
To a boy who was dark and tall
She was young and she was willin' and she kept the house clean
So he married her in the fall

They stuck it out five years before he finally went his way
Leavin' Tommy all confused
Daddy said he'd never go away
And now Tommy's gettin' more angry every day

Tell me who's gonna pay the defaulted loans on our broken homes

With so many of us giving up
When it's hard to give we just give up
And the kids wind up like prisoners of war
Well, I'm not saying I know how
But we've got to set it right somehow
Before we wind up paying even more

'Cause some of us get more than just alone
We get broken in our broken homes

Now Tommy's all grown up or at least he looks that way
The very image of his dear old Dad
He's got kids of his own - he's gonna raise them the right way
Be the father he never had

But somehow at year five his eyes keep lookin' towards the door
He's got to get out now
Or live and die in a domestic war
Soon he's one more father callin' on the phone

One more man more than less alone in a broken home

Now little Tommy's waitin' for someone to see
That he's left his light on...

8. Oh Angie

It could have been good
We could have been the lucky ones
But everything's changed
Man, we made it such a mess
And now you're back
Back to see if you can hurt me some more

[CHORUS:]
Oh Angie
You left me broken and now you want to come back to me
Oh Angie
My heart has spoken and I know we'll never be happy
Oh Angie

I've got no time
No time left for suffering
'Cause that's what we are
Somehow it's just that way
Now you're coming on
Just when I got out from your spell

[CHORUS]

Oh Angie
Oh Angie
You couldn't be worse for me

9. The Eyes Of The World (George's Song)

A world so innocent so easy to face
Full of what's possible and full of God's grace
My friend helped me to see 'cause that's how he saw this place

When I was hurting he would hurt for me too
The sweetest spirit that I ever knew
And the world seems sadder now that he's not with me and you

[CHORUS:]
The eyes of the world shed a tear for my friend
But when we're set free we will see him again
Right now it's hard for us to understand

So much that happens is beyond our control
We take the part 'cause we just can't see the whole
But the one that can is now in care of our loved one's soul
Please take care of our loved one's soul

[CHORUS (to end)]

10. Ain't Seen Nothing Like Me

Adam was livin' a care free life
Nothin' to do but hang out all night
God said to Adam "I think you'll agree
You need someone to run things" so He made Eve

[CHORUS:]
(She said) I'm livin' proof God blessed His daughters
I got what you need
You've seen fire, wind and water
But you ain't seen nothin'
Oh no - you ain't seen nothin' like me

Samson was one of the lucky few
Strong as a bull and the coolest hairdo
Well, you all know that after Delila got sore
He was nothin' but a crumpled mass on the floor

[CHORUS]

She said "now don't you fret
No, don't you worry
I'll be the ghostwriter
Of the rest of HIStory"

God made woman on a beautiful day
But don't you cross her or she'll make you pay
He made her strong and he made her sweet
And if she weren't around we'd be dead in a week

[CHORUS (to end)]

11. I Am Your Father

Sensitive boy, military father
Both of them needing something very badly from the other
They had no choice; they could not reach eachother
Now the boy's an angry man; he holds it in no longer

(He says) I could never win anything 'cause I already felt beaten
And you have always hated me so I guess now we're even
So look at me now - I'm not afraid to fight you man to man
And the old man says

I am your father
I am not another
Of your schoolboy classmates
I am your father
And you will not forget me
I will stay part of you forever

Listen to my side
Looking back I wonder
Why I couldn't feel for you the way I felt about your brothers
And there were times
I'm sure you still remember
When I tried to talk to you and you left me an outsider

I avoid painful things so you were avoided
And I never really hated you, just sometimes dissappointed
So look at me now
Am I the same as the man you love to hate?
No matter what...

I am your father
I am your father
And you can mess up my face - go ahead
But I'll still be your father
And you cannot forget me
I will stay part of you forever

I could never look at you and say I love you
I was taught that real men never broke down
I feel like a victim I know you do too
Like father like son
I'm so sorry for the things I've done

I am your father
I am your father
Come what may
I'll be part of you forever

12. Something Blue

Sharon's waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting there inside her empty house she walks the floor
Turns the T.V. on but she don't care
She's pretty sure she won't become a millionaire today

[CHORUS:]
She feels like something borrowed, something blue
Something pretty but ugly too
Just like something borrowed, something blue
She's like Cinderella without a shoe
Treasure Island without a clue
Just like something borrowed, something blue

Sharon's thinking "man, I've got alot to do
I'll vacuum again and maybe check for mail that no one's sent me"
She's a raging flower with the world to give
But somehow no one sees her as she really is...

[CHORUS (to end)]

13. The Wind And The Rain

The wind and the rain
Fiercely fall
Pounding on my roof and walls
Feeling nothing like
What I thought it might
When I felt the storm begin tonight

I knew it would
Eventually
Point it's cloudy finger at me
Making me drift behind
Sadly back in time
'Til I heard a voice from somewhere inside

[CHORUS:]
"Just let the wind and the rain roll off your back
You can do anything but you can't go back
So when you're feeling pain
It ain't no ball and chain
It's just the wind and the rain"

The wind and the rain
let you know
You are always vulnerable
So if it starts to pour
And what's enough cries for more
Don't pull the shades and lock the door

[CHORUS (to end)]
