STILL STANDING
After beating the odds
After tempting the fates
After pushing his luck
across a dozen states
After changing direction
After reading the signs
After steering clear of trouble
When he hit hard times
After all of that?
Where’s he at?
After rising to the task
After being let down
After keeping his head
while the madness spun around
After speaking his mind
After suffering fools
After feeling the heat
But playing it cool
After all of that?
Yeah
He’s still standing, standing. The man’s still standing.
Two feet on the ground
He’s still standing, standing The man’s still standing.
As the world goes round
He’s still standing, standing The man’s still standing.
Two feet on the ground
He’s still standing, standing The man’s still standing.
You can’t keep him down
After paying the price
For holding his own
After doing his best
And working to the bone
After drawing the line
After catching a clue
After chasing his dreams
Now he’s living a few
After all of that?
Yeah
He’s still standing, standing. The man’s still standing.
Two feet on the ground
He’s still standing, standing The man’s still standing.
As the world goes round
He’s still standing, standing The man’s still standing.
Two feet on the ground
He’s still standing, standing The man’s still standing.
You can’t keep him down

NOT YET, NOT NOW
I’ve been near deepness
so dark and still
When it reached up to touch me
it gave my bones a chill
I pulled back away
with all of my might
cuz I’m not going there yet
not yet
not now
I reach for my cutlass
I rise up tall
An early demise
I intend to forestall
My life I’ll parlay
with all of my might
cuz I’m not leaving just yet
not yet
not now
The waters that move us
they rise and fall
I float between rage and
the wonder of it all
to live for today
with all of my might
cuz I’m not leaving just yet
not yet
not now

Heaven on This Earth
Supposin' there's no home on high
no great beyond up in the sky
no hereafter after all
Well then I want this world to be a
a paradise, a place of peace
I want heaven on this earth
I want a band of angels in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood,
Heavenly shores out my front door
milk and honey at the corner store
My just rewards might be just this
a chance to live, a touch of bliss
revelation in a song
I don't want war, I don't want greed
no more hunger or disease
I want heaven on this earth
I want a band of angels in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood,
Heavenly shores out my front door
milk and honey at the corner store
I don't want war, I don't want greed
no more hunger or disease
I want heaven on this earth
Yes I want this world to be
a paradise, a place of peace,
I want heaven on this earth
I see a band of angels in my backyard
singing to the neighborhood,
Hallelujah glory be
this here's the promised land

MUSIC in the BLOOD
When Johny was a boy -- Young, Johny
he heard a tuba play -- Hey, Johny
he marveled then he realized
he’d been born to blow that big horn
So he began to blow -- Go Johny
he blew all night and day -- Hey, Johny
he practiced and he improvised
a panoply of low melodies
He played fast fandangos, jazz and tangos
Ska and cabaret
Hot calypsos, obscure disco
Ragtime and reggae
Bebop, doo-wop, hip-hop and pop
Klez and boogaloo
Johny blew right to the top
to the peak of tuba cool -- Go, Johny
When Johny plays a show -- Go, Johny
fans can’t stay away -- Hey, Johny
he dazzles and surprises with
his panoply of low melodies
He played fast fandangos, jazz and tangos
Ska and cabaret
Hot calypsos, obscure disco
Ragtime and reggae
Bebop, doo-wop, hip-hop and pop
Klez and boogaloo
Hey now Johny, don’t you stop
Play us another tune -- Go, Johny

DRIFTING APART
If you whisper
sweet nothings in my ear
I will tell you
stories you want to hear
In the time it
takes to tell a lie
We could ask why
Why we stay
Even though
We both want to go
We could linger close to what used to be
We could hold on to sweet, broken memories
As the twilight fades into the dawn
We could on
On and on
Even though
the feeling's gone
Through the clouds and storm swept seas
I found you next to me
When the skies clear, when we wake
Hold me close and make believe
We're not drifting apart
If we wait for an unlikely change of heart
Could we find our way to a brand new start
In the time it takes to wonder why
We could go on
On and on
Even though we’re drifting, drifting
Through the clouds and storm swept seas
I found you next to me
When the skies clear, when we wake
Hold me close and make believe
We're not drifting apart
