Johnny Cash and Dave Matthews Band - For You

[ Featuring Dave Matthews Band ]

I will drink the cup,
The poison overflowing.
I will lift you up,
Watch over where you're going.
The first one in,
The last one gone,
I'll be the rock to stand upon,
For you,
For you.

My spirit aches,
And I can't stop this river flowing.
In fear I take
Each laboured breath I draw in, knowing
That this could be my life,
My final hour.
But faith and hope and love
Give me the power,
For you,
For you.

Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
You are with me.

I'll be your salvation,
Though the storm's surrounding.
There are no conditions,
Lay my body down.
In the wake abandon, willing sacrifice.
I'll walk through the canyon,
Bring the shadows light.
For you,
For you.

I will drink the cup,
The poison overflowing.
I will lift you up,
Watch over where you're going.
The first one in,
The last one gone,
I'll be the rock to stand upon.
The first one in,
The last one gone,
I'll be the rock to stand upon
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you

Carolyn Dawn Johnson - Some Mothers Son

She lays awake
In a silent room
Holding his picture
Washed sliver by the moon
Oceans away
He feels her sigh
So alone
In the world tonight

Freedom needs a soldier
That nameless, faceless one
A young girl's lover
A baby's father
Some mother's son

Too young to know
His daddy's gone
He hears him say
His mother must be strong
So he pretends
Like children do
He likes to stand
In his daddy's shoes

Freedom needs a soldier
A nameless, faceless one
A young girl's lover
A baby's father
Some mother's son

Freedom needs a soldier
Until the battle's won
A young girl's lover
A baby's father
Some mother's son

She closes her eyes
And sees him at three
In her mind
That's the age he'll always be
And only God
Understands her love
Now she prays
To the angels up above

Freedom needs a soldier
That nameless, faceless one
A young girl's lover
A baby's father
Some mother's son

Freedom needs a soldier
Until the battle's won
A young girl's lover
A baby's father
Some mother's son

Train - Fall Out

Fall out
Fall in
Fall out
Fall in
Fall out
Fall in

Goodnight my love
Goodbye the feeling of breathing you into my life
I ran with the wind in my face
I was proud.
I flew with my father when I was allowed
I felt like a hero when I was with you
Those days I felt God
They were far They were few
They were mine

Goodnight my babies
Goodbye the memories of showing my pride and my joy.
You are the angels
A world spinning forward
You are the reason I'll never need more
I felt like a great man when I was with you
Those days I felt honor
They were far
They were few
They were mine

Fall out
Fall in
Fall out
Fall in

Goodnight my friends
Goodbye the dreams that all danced their way into my life
The horse of forever
We rode in our youth
We walked into heaven through hell in these boots
I feel a great love while I'm here in your arms
You were all brothers
And fathers and sons
You were mine

Now I can finally see the light
I can finally see you in the night

Fall in
Fall out
Fall in
Fall in

I can finally see the light
I can finally see you in the night
I can finally see
And I can finally see the light
I can finally see you in this night

Steven Curtis Chapman - Soldier

When you are a soldier I will be your shield
I will go with you into the battlefield
And when the arrows start to fly
Take my hand and hold on tight
I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier

When you're tired from running
I will cheer you on
Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone
And when your strength is all but gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels
When you're a soldier

I will be the one you can cry your songs to
My eyes will share your tears
And I'll be your friend if you win
Or if you're defeated
Whenever you need me I will be here

When you're lost in darkness I will hold the light
I will help you find your way through the night
I'll remind you of the truth
And keep the flame alive in you
And I will be your shield
'Cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier

India.Arie - Good Man

I remember the first day
I met you
we were so young
you were a blessing
and there was no guessing
you were the one
Love is so crazy
We had a baby
and said our vows
That's when you told me
should anything happen
I can hear you now
You told me

[Chorus]
if the sun comes up
and I'm not home
be strong
If I'm not beside you
Do your best to
carry on
Tell the kids about me
when they're old enough to understand
tell them that their daddy was
a good man

First anniversary
remember we
chose a star
And as i stand i'm afraid
I can't help but wonder if
You see it where you are
For whatever reason
You don't see the seasons
Change again
Go there with peace of mind
We'll meet on the otherside
Cause true Love don't end
and baby

[Chorus]

Two eyes
looking
up at me
Pointing to a picture like where is he
Mamma are you OK
What did the paper say
To make you cry that way
it said your Daddy lived for you
and your daddy died for me
and I'll do the same

[Chorus]

Five For Fighting - The Beautiful

There's a bar on my head
There's a cross for my bed
There's my heart in my hand
There's my stick in the sand

Here where the world starts spinning round
take a ride and you'll feel what you've never found
Here when the stars start fading out
you hear the angels laughing without a sound

Welcome to the beautifulбн

She sits hereбн far away
in my breast, in my grace
She's the bestбн the best of me
She my love, she's my queenбнtalking to me

And when your world starts spinning down
take a ride and you'll feel what you never found
When the stars start fading out
You hear the angels laughing without a sound

Welcome to the beautiful

I met myself just today
Came alive in my grave
And I'm the best, the best of me
For you my loveбн for you I'll be

When the world starts slowing down
Take a ride and you'll feel what you never found
And as the stars are fading out
I hear the angels laughing without a sound

Welcome to the beautiful

Mary Chapin Carpenter - My Dear Old Friend

How will we smile ever again
I'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend
What do you say, is there a way
My dear old friend

How will we laugh just like before
When there's water rising up to our door
And we may never see each other again
My dear old friend

Will there be someone to remember
A little place that we loved
How the music played all night and day
Through the windows up above

How the birds sang in the morning
How the dog barked in the yard
I guess that's nothing much but everything to us
And that's what seems so hard

How will we smile ever again
I'm asking you sincerely, my dear old friend
The moon on the hill says we probably will
My dear old friend

Tammy Cochran - I Believe

People all over the world can you hear me
I'm singing this song to you
I know how it feels to be lost and so weary
Something tells me you do too
There's so many of us on this planet why are so many of us alone?
Sometimes its hard to keep the faith but I keep holding on

Cuz I believe
I believee
I believeeeeeeeeee in a loveeeeeee
I believeeeeeeeeee in a loveeeeeee
Do you believe
Do you believe
Do you believe

There'ver been occasions in my life
I wish I'd have done things better
But somedays are singing in the rain my friend
And somedays are stormy weather

I believeeeeeeeeee in a loveeeeeee
I believeeeeeeeeee in a loveeeeeee
So hold on
Hold on

Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
Is anybody out there
Who feels like I do
I believe in you

I believeeeeeeeeee in a loveeeeeee
So hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Jars Of Clay - The Widowing Field

I'm sure that I could never
Make it through the night without you here
The fires in the sky
Illuminate the demons closing in

Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last
Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last to go

As I crawl around these trails
And fight upon this widowing field
The ground below is bare and burned
At the places I have learned to trust You

Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last
Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last to go
I am not the last to go

When even silence sets my heart to racing
I will lift my eyes to you
Please, Father, find me

Have mercy on my soul...
Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last
Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last
Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last
Have mercy on my soul
If I am not the last to go

Jamie ONeal - Not So Distant Day

[ Featuring Michael McDonald ]

Baby, you undo me
As I lay my heart down
You whisper things I can't repeat
You don't make a sound
Babe, you look right through me
I'm naked to the bone
You see my intentions
The right inside my wrong

And I can see the love we'll make
On that not so distant day
I can feel my heart unbreak
As the pieces fall into place
Lead my soul into your waters
And I'll never sail away
I can see the love we'll make
On that not so distant day

Baby, you can heal me
Help me to come clean
I know you can show me things
That eyes have never seen
You can take me to that higher place
Where senses can be free

And I can see the love we'll make
On that not so distant day
I can feel my heart unbreak
As the pieces fall into place
Lead my soul into your water
And I'll never sail away
I can see the love we'll make
On that not so distant day

Oh girl, you gotta listen to me
Gotta wake up, gotta move on
The bus is leaving and
My memory is starting to fade

I can see
I can see the love baby

Lead my soul into your water
And I'll never sail away

I can see the love we'll make
On that not so distant day
And I can feel my heart unbreak
As the pieces fall into place
Lead my soul into your water
And I'll never sail away
I can see the love we'll make
On that not so distant day

I see the day...

Rascal Flatts - The Glory of Life

Safe in the eye of the storm
Mercy and faith keep me warm
Oh the dreams I've seen tattered and torn
Just when I think I can't take anymore

You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause it's a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life

High is this mountain I climb
Deep is this river of time
The devils got trouble in mind
Sometimes I stumble
But you're there to remind me
Standing right there beside me

You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life

This world has left me tangled up inside
No where left to hide
And the wind and rain
Is baring down on me
(Baring down, wearing down on me)

You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight

You give me shelter and never will I be alone
Hold me closer and help me to find my way home
Cause its a long road through the darkest of nights
But your love won't let me lose sight
Of the glory of life

US Military Academy Glee Club - The Mansions of the Lord

[ Featuring Metro Voices ]

To fallen soldiers let us sing,
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing,
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more Fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just Divine embrace,
Eternal light,
In the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry
And no children weep,
We will stand and guard
Though the angels sleep,
All through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord

Montgomery Gentry - Didnt I

Didn't I make you proud
Go and lay my life down
When you called my name
I thought I stood for something
Was doing the right thing when I went away
Now being back should be so simple
But I keep getting mixed signals from everyone
Why do people sit and judge me
Who I ain't seen what I seen or did what I've done

Didn't I burn,didn't I bleed enough for you
I faced your fears
Felt pain so you won't have to
Ya didn't I do my best
And wasn't home here when I left

I've seen boys fall to pieces
Grown men cry out for Jesus
Til there black and blue
I thought God was on your side
Weren't we suppose to be the good guys
That would never lose
Cause I don't see no ticker tape or five mile parades
Sayin "Thank You son"
Just folks that sit and judge me
Who ain't seen or did what I've done

Didn't I burn,didn't I bleed enough for you
I faced your fears
Felt the pain so you won't have to
Ya didn't I do my best
And wasn't home here when I left.
