History 02:31
If history could rewrite itself What would it write? If people growing older would be a little bolder Could we ever win this fight? I’m sitting, I’m sitting, I’m asking I’m wishing, I’m wishing, believing If we could all deliver the things we thought were clearer Would this tragedy subside? Feels like everyone’s a goner, the lines we drew have faltered And I can’t believe my eyes I’m sitting, I’m sitting, I’m asking I’m wishing, I’m wishing, believing Stay here and wait for the day that I find change Yes, I’ll wait for eternity Stay here and wait for the day that I find change Yes, I’ll wait for eternity

Gold Rush 03:18
Years ago I left to find my fame and fortune How could I have known seven years gone slow and I’d be making my way back home I’m on my way back home to you darling Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon I’m on my way back home to you darling Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon All of the long days I tried to find some meaning that would transfer to us both But now I’m here just looking at the years and what am I doing here I’m coming back with less than what I left with I found no fortune or fame to speak of All I want is to be in your arms To hold you closely away from harm I’m on my way back home to you darling Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon I’m on my way back home to you darling Don’t worry about me, I’ll be home soon I’m on my way, I’m on my way I’m on my way back home I’m on my way, I’m on my way I’m on my way back home

Thicker Skin 03:30
Where did I go is the question you want to know And the answer is written down the road I couldn’t stay, the thoughts tied up with words of shame And resentment from sparks of pain And where’s the truth, and what to do I feel I’ve wasted time with you I’m all cut down, my skin’s a little thicker All because of you Thoughts of you, twisted stain, news of truth I’m feeling hopeless and lead astray I bore the news, last minute, urgent, and I knew Your presence near, it couldn’t move And where’s the truth, and what to do I feel I’ve wasted time with you I’m all cut down, my skin’s a little thicker All because of you And where’s the truth, and what to do I feel I’ve wasted time with you I’m all cut down, my skin’s a little thicker All because of you

90 Years 03:26
An old life to an end Timeless pictures captured with the dead 90 years come and past One man’s efforts drained and spent A mind so out of place A memory so lost in space A love that has slipped away My affections will never leave him Who’s to say all was in vain Can one life reveal the unseen? Love is a word that captures us all He knows it well A mind so out of place A memory so lost in space A love that has slipped away My affections will never leave him A mind so out of place A memory so lost in space A love that has slipped away My affections will never leave him He knows it well He knows it well He knows it well He knows it well

Steady Boy 03:38
You wait all day and he doesn't show Two days past and a long way to go You're growing lonely and mama's cold You feed the fire Lay your head down on your pillow boy He'll make it home somehow No need to worry, it'll be all right Daddy's gonna make it to town Worry creeps in, it's been three days No letter, no reason for the wait He's somewhere out there all alone You pray the Lord to guide him safe back home Lay your head down on your pillow boy He'll make it home somehow No need to worry, it'll be all right Daddy's gonna make it to town Your eyes search out the window Mama's crying and you're losing hope Steady boy, don't you worry now I see a light a'coming, and it's getting close Lay your head down on your pillow boy He'll make it home somehow No need to worry, it'll be all right Daddy's gonna make it to town Lay your head down on your pillow boy He'll make it home somehow No need to worry, it'll be all right Daddy's gonna make it to town
