In Courage
In courage-you find
no fear
and in courage-no weakness
does appear
In courage-steps toward
danger taken
and in courage-strength
within awaken
In courage- a hero
takes shape
and in courage- the villain
can't escape
In courage-there is a call
to duty
and in courage-out of ugliness
comes beauty

The Happiness of Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving
because its Thanks
giving day
And its merry Christmas
because Christmas
is on the way
Look out your window
signs of Christmas
everywhere you look
Dressing on the table
and the turkey is
Ready to cook
Its Thanks
giving and its
thankful we should be
its another blessed Thanks
giving that the lord has
allowed us to see

Thats the Butterfly in Me
Got to be where every flower I see
Thats the butterfly
in me
yes, Thats the butterfly
in me
I come and go on the wind
and soar in the sky
Cos thats just the butterfly
in me
I've got the wind under my beautiful
wings and my heart is happy
and it sings
Thats just the butterfly
in me
My colors run deeper
than the colors of the sea
Cos thats
the butterfly in me

Dirty Water
Baby-every time you think- you're thinking
dirty and low down, baby if you don't pull yourself
out of that-dirty water, then you're gonna drown.
Baby you're in that dirty water
and you're sinking, baby its all because of
your dirty thinking-
Baby its easy- to go crazy-when you lose
your mind, baby just-
get out of that- dirty water
and leave all that dirt behind-

My Girl Is Gone
The wind is howling, the thunder is roaring,
my girl is gone
and I can't stop my bitter tears from flowing-
my girl is gone
my girl is gone
my girl is gone
wish I knew where she might be
wish she'd come back
home to me
my girl is gone
my girl is gone
my girl is gone
the world is so lonely
and the sky is so black,
think I'm gonna
die of loneliness
if my baby don't hurry up
and come on back

Baby Your Ship
Baby you say you like riding on the sea
when the water is rough, say you've got enough
courage, more than enough-
Baby you say that your ship is strong,
Baby you say bring a friend
and come along-
Baby you say you're a fighter; winning all
the battles you fight, baby no matter how
far you are at sea, the shore is always
in sight- Baby you say that your ship is strong,
Baby you say bring a friend
and come along-

Baby Its Your Birthday Song
Happy birthday baby, I want to see that big beautiful smile upon your face, When you blow out the candle and I cut your birthday cake-
Happy birthday baby, I'm just wishing you a happy birthday with this happy
birthday song of mine,
Baby its your birthday, and I'm just wishing that you'll have a real good time-
Happy birthday baby, its your birthday that we're celebrating today,
its your birthday baby, its not just another day-

Good Thing Going
You were a good little girl,
I was a good little boy, and
Baby together we had a good thing going!
You wore white,
I wore blue,
our love was true-
And baby together we had a good thing going!
Didn't have much money, but we had
so much love; it was flowing like
milk and honey-
and baby together we had a good
thing going!
Now we're older; but just like when we
were so young- We're still together, and still going
just as strong!

Wide Open In The Rain
It might be some pleasure
or it might be some pain,
Still you're wide open, wide
open in the rain,
You're dressed like a
naked eye, and your tears
welcome you,
but you can't cry-
It might be some pleasure
or it might be some pain,
Still you're wide open, wide
open in the rain-
The falling rain finds you asleep,
and in your broken heart, the
darkness runs deep-
It might be some pleasure

The Morning of Christmas Day
It'll be Christmas in the morning, it'll be Christmas
in the morning,
Snow is on the ground, it'll still be there
when Christmas comes around,
It'll be Christmas in the morning, it'll be Christmas
in the morning,
Christmas is a wonderful time,
bright lights on the Christmas tree, I just love
the way they shine-
It'll be Christmas in the morning, It'll be
Christmas in the morning-
The snow is on the ground and I know its
gonna stay, it'll still be there the morning of Christmas day-
