Forever Young
May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
James Dean & Bob Dylan

Bird on a Wire
Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more?

Hurt
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Hallelujah
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Nobody but you
I really care a lot
although I look like I do not
Since I was shot
there's nobody but you
I know I look blase
party Andy's what the papers say
At dinner I'm the one who pays
for a nobody like you
Nobody but you, a nobody like you
Since I got shot, there's nobody but you
Won't you decorate my house
I'll sit there quiet as a mouse
You know me I like to look a lot
at nobody like you
I'll hold your hand and slap my face
I'll tickle you to your disgrace
Won't you put me in my proper place
a nobody like you
Sundays I pray a lot
I'd like to wind you up and paint your clock
I want to be what I am not
for a nobody like you
The bullet split my spleen and lung
the doctors said I was gone
Inside I've got some shattered bone
for nobody but you
Nobody but you, a nobody like you
Shattered bone, for nobody but you
I'm still not sure I didn't die
and if I'm dreaming I still have bad pains inside
I know I'll never be a bride
to nobody like you
I wish I had a stronger chin
my skin was good, my nose was thin
This is no movie I'd ask to be in
with a nobody like you
Nobody like you, a nobody like you
All my life
It's been nobodies like you

Keep the Car Running
Every night my dream’s the same
Same old city with a different name
And they’re not coming to take me away
I don’t know why but I know I can’t stay
There’s a weight that’s pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can’t seem to cross a river so deep
They know my name because I told it to them
But they don’t know where, they don’t know when
It’s coming
When it’s coming
There’s this fear that cuts so deep
I knew its name just before I could sleep
whoa
Keep the car running
If some night I don’t come home
Please don’t think I’ve left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can’t climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
Can’t seem to cross a river so deep
They know my name because I told it to them
But they don’t know where, they don’t know when
It’s coming
When it’s coming
Keep the car running

To Be The One
"Well the pills I got they ask me lets go out for a whileAnd
the knives up in the kitchen are all too dull to smileYeah
and the sun it tries to warn meBoy those wings are made of
waxWhile the things I do to kill meThey just tell me
to relaxBut oh cinderellaAll dressed up in all your
boots and all your charmsI’m not the fellowTo
protect you or to keep you from all your harmAnd I don’t
know which is worseTo wake up and see the sunOr to
be the one be the oneBe the one that’s goneAnd
the empty bottle it misses youYeah and I’m the one that
it’s talking toAnd with you and I just barely strangersI’m pretty much just left the foolDamn don’t the streets
look empty thoughJust wandering round here without youOh the empty bottle it misses you and I’m the one it’s
talking toAnd I don’t know which is worseTo wake up
and see the sunOr to be the one be the one that’s
gone"
