Looking one way
then the other
Just trying to find which way to go
if I don't know what to say
how will I ever end up
the way that I want?
but I know that I'll end up fine
Cause I've been looking
just not past my nose
and I see how it has grown
I will find what I want
if I just pay attention to my heart
and you know when I think about it that the truth is
I really like your style
So tell me which way do you want it to go
and what do you think of the show so far
how will we end up in the end
young and wild or all grown up
by the way I really like this town
and you know
I'll be back some day
Cause baby, I've gotta get back on the road
cause I know where I want to go
so if you've just been dreaming
chase it down and never give in
cause you know that when it's worth the fight
that the dream is really living life happily!
cause you know when I think about it
that the truth is I'm gonna live my life
happily ever after
happily ever after...
looking one way then the other
just trying to find which way to go

Well I don't know just what you're thinking
And I don't know where I will go
And I don't know if I can make it
through the cold rain and snow
and you know (baby...)
I know I've been here before
but it don't look the same
I know I've been shot down many times
yah but still I play the game
It's just that there's so many people
who may be doing just the same
it's not that I don't think I can
it's that I'm getting tired of this game...
I know I've been here before
but it don't look the same
I know I've been shot down many times
yah but still I play the game
I've seen your eyes before girl
On a different face
that kind of face I just can't say no to
that was back in a different place
(tell me) what could I do with you
(you ooh)

Sitting in my room
as active as can be
wishing only that you were here with me
waiting for the night
waiting for the light
serving only those who are near
but the sun come out of the water
and the sun come out of the sky
as the moon goes under the water
so the moon goes under the sky
here's a little story
of a girl I used to know
she was kind and alright, y'know
always a woman to me
I never thought it would happen
but I gave it no thought
that this woman behind me
would end up being my desire
Here's a couple of thoughts
though they're thought every day
where do you think you're going and when will you know the way
The man on the hill said follow your way
and you can join me there
Y'know I'll make it happen
make it all seem so clear
rise up, rise up you children
come on you children of the sun
the sun has risen, today

Now I've had the time of my life
and I never thought it could feel so right
But you helped me to realize my life
and now we can both see the light (ooh)
but you see a side of me,
a side no one ever sees
and it's me
The man that you see in me
in case you need me there,
when you're all alone
I'll come to you and try
to be....
Everything you ever wanted,
the choice is yours
But I believe in you
And the way that you walk with me through it all
I think it's the piece that I've been looking for...
(to be with you)
When I see a piece of you
It's.a side no one ever sees
and it's you
The woman that I see in you
In case you need me there
When you're all alone
I'll come to you and try
to be...
Now I've had the time of my life
and I never thought it could be so right
but you helped me to realize my life and
now we can both see the light
Now I've had the time of my life
and I never thought it could be so right...

The Way I Feel

Why don't you think that
I cannot think as well as feel
And why can't you see that
All of what I see is so unreal
Is it so hard for you
to understand me
When I can't tell you the truth
When I think about it
I just can't think about it
and I don't know what to do
Sometimes I don't know why
I get high and I'm on the run
I don't think about tomorrow
cause to me it's all having fun
The more I think about it
I could just drink around it
and for tonight I'd be okay
but when the morning comes
and my head it drums
well these things they just don't fade away
na na na na na na
na na na na na na na

Christopher Johnson Kansas City, Missouri
