We'll I'm standing by a river
but the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison
you can think of.
Then I'm underneath the streetlights
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief
way down in the shadows.
And the perverted fear of violence
chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells.
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell.
And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper
flying ‘way from you.
Oh, Look out world
Take a good look what comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well.
CH This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
This is the road
This is the road to hell

GET TOGETHER
Love is but a song to sing, fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring, or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing, and you may not know why
CHORUS
Come on people now, smile on each other
Everybody get together, try to love one another
Right now
Some may come and some may go, we shall surely pass
When the one that left us here, returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight, Fading in the grass
CHORUS 2X
If you hear the song I sing, you will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear, all in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both, It's there at your command
CHRUS 3X
Right now
Right now
Right now

ODESSA
© 2019 Gary Gladson and Lauren Shera Levine. Swantunes Publishing, ASCAP. All Rights Reserved)
Odessa is a desert queen
Reigns over these badlands
Golden like a lover’s dream
Holds my heart in her hands
Chorus:
Breakdown, ooh
I have knelt before you
It’s late now, ooh
I am calling for you
Odessa is a silver screen
Lights up when she turns on
If you needed to believe
If you hear a siren song
Chorus
Oh if I was her man, ooh
Odessa, she’s a desert queen
Moves just like it’s effortless
Turquoise eyes like far off seas
She speaks and leaves me breathless
Chorus

Could you unfold
Press yourself to open up
A little every day
Healed from the inside out
A little bark and clay
Is it too late to turn it around?
Then came the cold
Creepin’ through our house at night
Into your bones
Casting shadows from the light
A little darkness grows
We can only wonder will it slow down
Go and find your darkest corner
Shed some light if you can spare
And if the light flickers Honey
I'm sending out a flare
Oooooh Ooooh Ooooh
If you wake up in time
You’ll find that dawn is a sight to behold
If you’re not afraid to try
Then you can finally unfold
Oooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
All in good time
Dust kicked up will settle down
And in this light
I can see you’re stronger now
A little spark ignites
This flame has grown
into a wildfire
Go and Find your darkest corner
Shed some light if you can spare
And if the light flickers
Honey I'm sending up a flare
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh
If you wake up in time
You’ll find that dawn is a sight to behold
If you’re not afraid to try
Then you can finally unfold
