Who Am I? Composer(s): Rusty Goodman Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
When I think of how He came so far from glory Came to dwell among the lowly such as I To suffer shame and such disgrace On Mount Calvary take my place Then I ask myself this question Who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord The answer I may never know Why He ever loved me so But to that old rugged cross He'd go For who am I?
When I'm reminded of His words I'll leave Him never If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever Oh I wonder what I could have done To deserve God's only Son To fight my battles until they're won For who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord The answer I may never know Why He ever loved me so But to that old rugged cross He'd go For who am I? But to an old rugged cross He'd go For who am I?

Who, when my life is through? Who will know the joy I have known with you? Who will touch your face? Sleep in your embrace? Who will take my place When I sleep alone?
Who, when the day is done? Who will hold the hand Of my only one? Who will climb the heights? Finding in your nights All those wild delights Only I have known
You say you'll always love me Time has another claim Why do the gods above me Play the cynical game?
Oh, life, isn't what it seems Fickle as the wind Fragile as a dream When I end my years Who will ease my pain? Kiss away my tears? And bury me again?
All For The Love Of Sunshine Composer(s): Mike Curb - Harley Hatcher - Lalo Schifrin Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr. and multiple other artists
The darkness of my world was all cleared away The flowers are blooming it's a beautiful day There's a girl with a heart as big as the sky she's sunshine and I know why All for the love of sunshine all for the love of sunshine The Lord smiled down on this life of mine and sent me the love of sunshine
Though sunshine can always make my days seem bright Sunshine can warm up a cold cold night I know my sunshine was sent from above an angel that's filled with love All for the love of sunshine...
Through winter the springtime the summer and fall The moonlight the starlight she outshines them all In a world filled with fear with pain and such harm my sunshine can't be so warm All for the love of sunshine... All for the love of sunshine... All for the love of sunshine...

Well, today I'm so weary Today I'm so blue Sad and broken hearted And it's all because of you Life was so sweet dear Life was a song Now you've gone and left me Oh, where do I belong?
And it's all for the love of a dear little girl All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl I'm a man who'd give his life And the joys of this world All for the love of a girl
And it's all for the love of a dear little girl All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl I'm a man who'd give his life And the joys of this world All for the love of a girl

Thy people shall be my people, my love Whither thou goest I will go To love and be loved is part of living The story is told in many ways The love in each heart is there for giving True as these words I now say Thy people shall be my people, my love Where ever thou goest I will go For as in that story long ago The same sweet love story now is so Thy people shall be my people, my love Whither thou goest I will go Whither thou goest I will go

All For Leyna Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel; Michael Cavanaugh
She stood on the tracks Waving her arms Leading me to that third rail shock Quick as a wink She changed her mind
She gave me a night That's all it was What will it take until I stop Kidding myself Wasting my time
There's nothing else I can do 'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna I don't want anyone new 'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna There's nothing in it for you 'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
We laid on the beach Watching the tide She didn't tell me there were rocks Under the waves Right off the shore Washed up on the sand Barely alive Wishing the undertow would stop How can a man take anymore
There's nothing else I can do 'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna I don't want anyone new 'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna There's nothing in it for you 'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
I'm failing in school Losing my friends Making my family lose their minds I don't want to eat I don't want to sleep I only want Leyna one more time
Now I'm in my room Watching the tube Telling myself she still may drop Over to say She's changed her mind
So, I wait in the dark Listening for her, Instead of my old man saying stop... Kidding yourself, Wasting your time
There's nothing else I can do 'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna I don't want anyone new 'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna There's nothing in it for you 'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna
All Fly Away Composer(s): Tom Pacheco - John Palumbo Performer(s): Jefferson Starship; Crack the Sky; John Palumbo
Moonrise above the Rio Grande On this fantasy of sand As I drift into a dream And I feel the comet scream Three birds watching from a rock And I swear the third one talked Rise up through the fog and we can All fly away All fly away Let's leave today And we can climb through time tomorrow
Space city like a jewel on wings Rocket ships like bees they sting Planets of fantastic sight Floating up in pastel light Twisted trees in Martian breeze Catch that horse don't let him freeze Won't you come along and we can all fly away All fly away, let's leave today And we can climb through time tomorrow
We rode a bubble through the sun We all knew it could be done There were men with fiery wings And a million burning things Silver statues on the run Bleeding there since Kingdom come Won't you pick them up and we can all fly away All fly away, let's leave today And we can climb through time tomorrow Dragon fly away

All Fired Up Composer(s): P. Giraldo - Kerryn Tolhurst Performer(s): Pat Benatar
Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day I never knew the difference, I never cared either way Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside All Fired up Now I believe there comes a time All fired up When everything just falls in line All fired up We live an' learn from our mistakes All fired up, fired up, fired up - Hey
Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite
All fired up Now I believe there comes a time All fired up When everything just falls in line All fired up We live an' learn from our mistakes All fired up, fired up, fired up The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live an' learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live an' learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live an' learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live an' learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe
All fired up Now I believe there comes a time All fired up When everything just falls in line All fired up We live an' learn from our mistakes All fired up, fired up, fired up The deepest cuts are healed by faith Now I believe there comes a time When everything just falls in line We live an' learn from our mistakes The deepest cuts are healed by faith
White Room Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown Performer(s): Cream
In a white room With black curtains Near the stations Blackroof country No gold pavements Tired starlings Silver horses Ran down moonbeams In your dark eyes Dawn-light smiled On you leaving My contentment
I'll wait in this place Where the sun never shines Wait in this place Were the shadows run from themselves
You said no things Could secure you At the station Platform tickets Restless diesels Goodbye windows In walked into such a sad time At the station As I walked out Felt my own need Just beginning
I'll wait in the queue When the trains come back Lie with you Where the shadows run from themselves
At the party She was kindness In the hard crowd Consolation For the old wounds Now forgotten Yellow tigers Crouched in jungles In het dark eyes She's just dressing Goodbye windows Tired starlings
I'll sleep in this place With the lonely crowd Life in the dark Where the shadows run from themselves
All Fall Down Composer(s): Phil Bates - Bev Bevan Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
What can you tell me, of the perfect man What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand We lose our grip, we glide and stall Some things come easy, some don't come at all
We chip away at the perfect man What can you show me, now I don't quite understand Eye to eye nothing left to say But will you really throw it all away
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down Things go wrong, though are strong We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Round and round, we all fall down Sometime....
No matter how we try to keep things straight It makes no difference, while we cause our fate We burn our candle unaware While on our knees we cry in prayer
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down Pain wont last, this too shall pass We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Round and round, time and time, again
But ahhhh If it's so simple then explain to me How pain is so close to ecstasy How change can make you feel so free
Ahhhh If we were meant to be such perfect fools Then why do we always break the rules Crashing through life's scenery
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down Angry cries and desperate lies We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Hearts to mend, sun comes up again
White Rabbit Composer(s): Grace Slick Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said "Feed your head Feed your head Feed your head"
White On White Composer(s): Lor Crane; Bernice Ross Performer(s): Danny Williams
White on white, lace on satin Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet White on white, lace on satin My little angel is getting married today
Here she comes in her wedding gown lookin' like a queen She has been my only love since she was thirteen I've been dreaming of this day and how proud I'd be When she came walkin' down the aisle and held out her hand to me
White on white, lace on satin Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet White on white, lace on satin My little angel is getting married today
I'll be waiting to kiss the bride when her name is new Standing oh, so close to her silently saying "I do" I'll be holding back my tears till she's gone away 'cause she'll belong to someone else when the organ starts to play
White on white, lace on satin Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet White on white, lace on satin My little angel is ge-e-etting ma-a-rried today
