Stand Tall, Anna Lee

Anna Lee, stand tall
Anna Lee, stand tall
Give all you’ve got, it's worth a shot
I’ll catch you if you should fall
Anna Lee, stand tall
Anna Lee, take flight
Anna Lee, take flight
As you could guess the view is the best
From way up in the sky
So Anna Lee, take flight
All you've been waiting for
And all you've dreamed
All that propels you onward
Is all you need
Anna Lee, speak out
Anna Lee, speak out
Sometimes, you know,
A whisper is louder than a shout
Anna Lee, speak out
Anna Lee, take heart
Anna Lee, take heart
I'll piece you back together
if you should fall apart
Anna Lee, take heart
All you've been waiting for
And all you've dreamed
All that propels you onward
Is all you need
Anna Lee, stand tall
Anna Lee, stand tall
Give all you’ve got, it's worth a shot
I’ll catch you if you should fall
Anna Lee, stand tall

This Land

This land once told me that even I could dream
Brave and the bold in the land of the free
This land once told me that even I could dream
But why won't it weep for me?
This trail is littered with treasures and woe
Fountain still flowing with pleasures and more
Some get more treasures most get more woe
Now why won't she weep for me?
I'm stepping toward the line tonight
What have I got to lose?
Watch me glow as I am stepping out
Over the line for you
Trenches between us / a stream of mothers' tears
While, blinded, they see me the face behind their fear
All that once joined us has quickly disappeared and now
Why won't they weep for me?
I'm stepping up to the line tonight
What have I got to lose?
Watch me glow as I am stepping out
Over the line for you
Fuel line is frozen / no shoes on my feet
No help from the outside, not much to eat
My twenty at the outset have dwindled down to three and now
Who's gonna weep for me?
I’m stepping 'cross the line tonight
What have I got to lose?
Watch me glow as I am stepping out
Over the line for you

And the River Flows
02:55

I saw it in a photo
A faded, grainy monochrome
Her hair cut short and stockings long
Reminders on the wall
Changing of the seasons
The questioning of reason
Count on me, don't go alone
If you need someone to walk you home
And the river flows
And the children grow
And the sun shines low through the valley
I’ve been seein’ a scene but it ain’t what it seems
And it flows straight in to my heart
I've been down this road before
It don't scare me any more
Hoping this time maybe you
Could be the one to pull us through
And the river flows
And the children grow
And the sun shines low through the valley
I’ve been seein’ a scene but it ain’t what it seems
And it flows straight in to my heart

Freedom Walks the Road

Freedom walks the road
Freedom walks the road leading down to the river
My Freedom walks the road, and she’s calling for my soul
Tell me what will become of me, my Lord?
Freedom rolls ahead
Freedom rolls ahead down the hill to the river
My Freedom rolls ahead though I’m feeling halfway dead
Tell me what will become of me, my Lord?
Freedom sings a song
Freedom sings a song ankle deep in the river
My Freedom sings a song and it beckons me along
Tell me what will become of me, my Lord?
Freedom drives the train
Freedom drives the train passing over the river
My Freedom drives the train that will lift me from my grave
Tell me what will become of me, my Lord?
She calls, and whispers to me, “Come along
We’ll make it over Heaven’s wall
And see the everlasting dawn…come on!”
Freedom lights the way
Freedom lights the way and it shines on the river
My Freedom lights the way, and it turns my night to day
Tell me what will become of me, my Lord?

Take My Umbrella

Take my umbrella, don’t stand in the rain
Though I barely know you and you’ve forgotten my name
Won't you take my umbrella, there’s room for two
And together stay dry, as we wait for the moon
Take my umbrella, let’s dance in the rain
The tulips are blooming, so let’s do the same
Darlin', take my umbrella, this waltz is for two
As we move to the music I pull close to you
Leave the umbrella, for it’s only rain
Our journey has led us through Holland and Spain
So forget the umbrella we’ve got all we need
As the moonlight shines through to make you believe
As the moonlight shines through you finally believe
