RIDING HIGH
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
Riding high,
Above the sky.
Knowing why,
Won't help you to fly.
People shout,
But you can't hear.
Looking back,
At all those years.
Crawling
along,
Writing a song,
For those to play,
Another day.
I will be,
Eternally,
Helping those,
Who really need.
Give them
strength,
Give them hope,
Show them love,
Help them to cope.
On the track,
Holding back,
Giving ground,
Not a sound..
Sailing with
the wind,
Drifting with the tide,
Holding on to love,
Tingling inside.
Planning,
Spanning,
Growing,
Loving.
HERE WE ARE
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
Well, here we are,
In the same old place,
Trying to find another way,
Trying to solve the case.
But somehow we find,
That it isn't so bad,
Living in the same old space,
Living in this mind.
Well, it isn't so rough.
Well, it isn't so bad.
Well, it isn't so tough.
No need to be sad.
Well, here we are.
It's not that far,
From what we used to know,
Just another star...
Light years from yesterday,
And close to tomorrow,
Building on what's here and now,
Returning what we borrow.
We can work it out.
We can make it grand.
No need to pout.
To take a stand.
Well, here we are,
It's time to leave,
Move along to better things,
Just try to believe.
Life gets better everyday,
Sometimes we think it doesn't.
We keep our eyes on what's ahead,
And try to live in the present.
One step at a time,
It's not a quantum leap.
We can take our time.
The road is not so steep.
We are all here.
APART
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
When I was away from you,
I didn't know what to do,
Go away run and hide,
'Cause of what I feel inside.
Refrain
But then you came back into my life,
And then you said you'd be my wife,
To never be apart again,
Always knowing together we win.
I love you.
When you were away in France,
We had no time for romance,
A few calls on the telephone,
I was wishing you were home.
When you stopped over in Greece,
My thoughts for you increased,
Growing stronger every day,
From the time that you went away.
Refrain
Finally, on your flight back home,
You decide no more to roam,
Never alone to cross the sea,
Sticking faithfully to me.
Walkin' up the front porch steps,
You pulled me from emotional depths.
Your kissing me was heaven sent,
Just the way our lives were meant.
So now you've come back into my life,
And now I know you'll be my wife.
We'll never be apart again,
Always knowing together we win.
I love you.
I LIKE TO DANCE
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
I like to dance,
You like to sing.
Where's there romance,
You and I can bring?
Together can we be,
Living happily?
Forgetting what is lost,
Forgiving does not cost.
Refrain
I've never met,
Anyone else like you.
You give me strength,
When joyous times are few.
Your love for me,
Means I don't cry alone.
Me, lovin' you,
Is something I've always known.
I like to run,
You like to jog.
Where's there a place,
You and I can log?
Together can we be,
Meeting under a tree?
Talking about the stars,
Watching the passing cars.
Refrain
I like to win,
You like to please.
Where's there a point,
You and I can freeze?
Together can we laugh,
Somewhere on this graph,
Twining all our thoughts,
Avoiding mental droughts?
Refrain
JUST GET TO HEAVEN
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
I don't know how it is in heaven.
I only know my life on the earth.
In heaven I'm told we're all equal,
But here I know what I'm worth.
Refrain
If I could just get to heaven,
Before I die,
Then I could sing, sing, sing,
All the way home.
If I could just get to heaven,
Before I die,
Then I could ring, ting, ting,
All the way home.
How can I have all the answers,
Before it's time to go.
How can I meet all the dancers,
Before it's the end of the show.
Refrain
Break
Where will I be traveling on,
Beyond the end of the road.
Waiting my life for the unknown,
Living is my only code.
Refrain
If I could just get to heaven,
Before I die,
Then I could swing, swing, swing,
All the way home.
If I could just get to heaven,
Before I die,
Then I could sting, sting, sting,
All the way home.
If I could just get to heaven,
Before I die,
Then I could fling, fling, fling
All the way home.
If I could just get to heaven,
Before I die,
Then I could brrrrrring,
All the way home.
NANCY
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
Nancy,
Nancy,
Nancy,
Nancy.
Nancy, Nancy,
Nancy, Nancy,
Nancy, Nancy,
Nancy. Nancy.
NANCY, NANCY, NANCY,
NANCY, NANCY, NANCY,
NANCY, NANCY, NANCY,
NANCY! NANCY! NANCY!
WE MUST CARE
Words and Music by Dale Neumann
The problems of the mind
The problems of the brain
The problems of the mind
Can drive one insane.
The problems of the heart
The problems of emotion
The problems of the heart
Stem from devotion.
The problems of the flesh
The problems of the bod
The problems of the flesh
Distinguish us from God.
The problems that we face
The problems that we share
The problems of our race
We must care.
