PAPPY'S LYRICS
(LIKE A) FIREFLY
Music by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad
Lyrics by Jon Hoernig & Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

Like a firefly to a blinding light
You'd always come when I'd call your name
Flitting around in your downtown gown
Driving all the boys insane
And though you may be pretty
A sweet thing from the city
You're still minding me like a hound

You haunt my days and you brighten my nights
You melt me with your frozen stare
And you laugh at all the little boys
Who follow you everywhere
And girl, you always taunt me
Telling me you want me
But I can't seem to fight - it makes me feel all right

There comes a time when a man must be a man
It's time that you played by my rules
I'll teach you more than you could possibly learn
In all your precious Catholic schools
But don't seem so sad
You'll always drive me mad
Though I don't know what's gone wrong
Just once, won't you listen to the song

NEVER ALONE
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad 

Someone called the Doctor, but nothing's wrong
Just been a little homesick all year long
I feel all right, like I told you once before
But this time, I'm out of my head and I want some more

Take a trip inside your mind
Leave your worries far behind
Dream a little dream
And sing this little song
"I ain't never, no I ain't never gonna be alone"

Step right up and don't be shy
Close your eyes and open wide
Take my friend, the Usher
And help him read the news
'Cause he's been walking around like he aint' got nothing to lose

So dream a little dream
And sing this little song
"I ain't never, no I ain't never
I ain't never, no I ain't never gonna be alone"

Take a trip inside your mind
Leave those inhibitions far behind
The place where I feel love
Is the place I call my home
Well I ain't never, no I ain't never
I said I ain't never, no I ain't never
I ain't never, no I ain't never gonna be alone

WHAT'S FOUND
Music by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad
Lyrics by Jon Hoernig & Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

I don't need to hear your consolation
No I didn't mean to bring you down
The truth you point me to
Maybe that was truth to you
But you're not the one looking to see
What's found

Riding on a train to my salvation
People see me aging every mile
The place I'm headed for
Might be something even more
Then when I first imagined I could
Make the people smile, 'cause I...

Chorus:
Feel all right in my own head
Ain't that what it's all about
I've been searching for so long
And I believe I finally got it figured out

Now, I don't want to cause an altercation
Lord, I only want to make you smile
I believe it's true
And I've got something just for you
I know you're going to like it
Let me take you for a ride, 'cause I...

Chorus:
Feel all right in my own head
Ain't that what it's all about
I've been searching for so long
And I believe I finally got it figured out

KATIE MOON
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

Ripplin' down under the ocean
I feel your waves caress my face
It feels so sweet, I cannot tell you
How I miss you, girl
I'm trying to forget the pain
In a place in my heart
But it just keeps getting stronger, girl

Katie Moon, Katie Moon
Katie Moon, Katie Moon

Let your moonbeams dance
Down on my skin and take me
To the center of your world
So many miles between us dear
I just can't seem to touch you
Or make you see what you are to me

Searchin' for an answer
I'm just searchin' for your light
It helps to guide me through the caverns
Of confusion
Through all the hell, my Katie Moon
We've been together loving all the way

Katie Moon, Katie Moon
Katie Moon, Katie Moon

With your voice so soft and kiss so sweet
You share with me the secrets
Of my soul
Our love seems to get stronger, dear
I still can't seem to touch you
Or make you see what you are to me

Katie Moon, shining down on me
When will you realize
You just don't see I love you
You've got a spell on me
Come shine your light on me, Katie Moon

You breathe and you whisper
You make me want you, Katie Moon
You tell me that you love me
To make me want you like I do
But how can I go, when you're holding me down
It's much harder to love you
While I'm crawling around
I'm tired, you see - I'm down on my knees
Baby, won't you help me please

SOPHIA
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

Sophia, just listen to me
This is what I'm here for
Sophia, to tell you the truth
I'll give you everything that I can
So please understand, Sophia

Sophia, you're driving me mad
Please don't tell me you don't care
I just can't react
You always know just what to do
You know that it's true, my Sophia

Chorus:
I just want to hold you for a long time
I'm thinking about you every single day
You are the star that keeps on shining
When this ol' world starts getting me down
You tell me it's okay...

Sophia, you're killing my blues
Come on and give me just one smile
It's all that I need
You make me feel so warm and bright
You're such a delight
Well, you make me feel so warm and so very bright
You know that I'm right, Sophia

RUNAWAY BLUES
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

Runaway blues are calling
It started a long time ago
When ol' Charley Delaney stood 3 feet high
Staring out of his back door, he said
"I do believe this same old day-to-day
Has got me so worked up inside myself
I feel my body pulse, you know I've got to run away

Chorus:
Take me - leave all my troubles behind me
Take me - where no one who loves me can find me
Run - run away, run away, run away..."

Little Charley got on his bicycle
He went riding down by the railroad tracks
When he heard the sound of a man beaten down
It sent the chill straight up his back
He stopped and said, "Who's there?"
He felt so petrified
His heartbeat racing through his arms and legs
He picked up his bike and he started to ride...

Charley Delaney's been riding
Nearin' on twenty-two years
Wishing away those runaway blues
Could have saved him many a tear
He said, "I do believe I feel so all alone
Yes, I'm still so worked up inside myself
I feel my body pulse, you know I've got to get home...

Chorus:
Take me - leave all my troubles behind me
Take me - where people who love me can find me
Run - run away, run away, run away..."

RIGHT BESIDE ME
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad
Woke up this morning with some sleep in my eyes
I’ve got the world at my feet
I’ve got the sun in the skies
And I feel so thankful that I woke up today
You’re my love and my light
And I just want to say

Chorus:
I will follow you
All over this land
I’ll take a hold of your hand
Side by side we’ll be
No matter how high or low
There’s just one thing I know
You’re my guiding light
Oh, I’m in your glory
Oh, won’t you show me

Closing time can’t come too soon
I’m working hard for my pay
Just trying to make it through the day
And it feels like Hell sometimes
But I knew from the start
Just had to open up my heart

Chorus

I just can’t believe that I could not see
That you were always there
Right beside me
Now I’ve seen the light
Everywhere I go, no matter how fast or slow
It’s all going to be all right

Now I lay me down
If I just died in your arms
You know I’d still be around
But I’m here and I’m here to say
And I know you’ve waited so long
For me to say it this way

Chorus out

ENOUGH
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

I can't stand the news
It's getting hard to breathe
Upside down and turned around
These blues are killing me
Tell me how you saw that man
Tell me just what he did
Tell me you just do your best
Now who you tryin' to kid?

Chorus:
Oh no, the truth, it can't lie
People living day to day
Trying not to die
Enough is enough, as I cry
Where you been
Where do you stand
I wish that I could just understand

All I've ever known is living day to day
Walking where I please
Carefree and unafraid
Never had to carry papers
Never been on the ground
I don't know what it's like
But it's long past the time to go down

Chorus

Bridge
Don't tell me everyone matters
You have your notion
You have your life
Hearts beating faster and faster
It's not enough every day just to survive

Chorus
Oh no, the truth, it can't lie
We're just living everyday
Trying not to die
Enough is enough, as I cry
Where you been
Where do you stand
I'm dying and I need to feel your hand

I wonder how it feels 
To walk around so free 
Not to feel afraid 
Just walking down the streets 
Show me all your papers 
Show me on the ground 
Show me hands behind your back, my boy 
You're going down...

LONG DAY
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

When I came to see you
And you were away
I wish I would have known
Long before today
That even though I loved you
And you led me astray
You never saw the sunshine
At the end of the day

We had some times of trouble
And times when we were fine
We always knew it couldn't last
No fault of yours or mine
But in the end we counted
All our nickels and our dimes
I never thought I'd see you again
After all this time

Chorus
I ain't beggin'
You know that ain't my style
You won't be seein'
My face for a smile
I know you take each moment
And throw it on the pile
So I'll just leave you alone for a while

I was feelin', I was reelin'
You never even bothered
To see how I was dealin'
Now I'm tired
And down I want to lay
Forgettin' all about you at the end
Of a very long day

HEADED FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD (LET'S GET IT ON TONIGHT)
Music & Lyrics by Eric "Pappy" Weingrad

Sun come up this morning
But now it's Saturday night
Midnight on the barroom clock
And everybody feelin' all right
We're here all together
Feels so good and right
Tomorrow's gonna be Sunday, Lord
So let's get it on tonight

We ain't ready to be saints
Come on, sinners, throw your hands in the air
Shake it, take it, make it now
We're gonna lay our souls to bare
Come on down and look around
There's bound to be somebody there
So move your feet, boy, jump right in
Tomorrow's gonna soon be here

Chorus
Now we're headed for the day
Headed for the day of the Lord
You know that sun's gonna rise once more
Headed for the day
Headed for the day of the Lord
Come on everybody and sing
One more time....

CHERYLANN'S LYRICS

GOOD TO BE ABLE
Music & Lyrics by Cherylann Hawk

Somedays
Nothing seems to be feeling right
Sometimes on those days
I hang my head and cry
On the other days
I cry when I’m happy too
Well how would I know it’s so good to be happy
If I’d never been blue?

Chorus:
Well it’s good to be able
So good to be able
Yes it’s good to be able
To feel the blues

Somedays
I frolic and feel like I’m four
On those days
I feel like I’ll feel that forever more
Then I see
Somebody that’s feeling blue
Then I thank God for giving me time to be happy
And I thank Him for when I’ve been blue

On the in between days
I dream of extreme days
I laugh, I cry, And sometimes I wonder just why

LISTEN TO MY HEART
Music & Lyrics by Cherylann Hawk 

I feel like I am forgetting something
It’s heavy on my mind
I feel like I am forgetting something
That I left behind
I feel like I am forgetting something
I feel it in my bones
I feel like I am forgetting something
I gotta get back home

Chorus:
(To my) heart again, I feel it calling to me
It’s my heart again, calling me back home
To my heart again, I feel it talking to me
Telling me to listen to my heart

I feel like I am forgetting something
I noticed in my dreams
I feel like I am forgetting something
My intuition screams
I feel like I am forgetting something
When I am all alone
I feel like I am forgetting something
I gotta get back home

Whatever it is that clears your head
Whatever your religion
Silence is our common thread
To get to inner vision

A LITTLE NUDGE
Music & Lyrics by Cherylann Hawk

You can't buy this with money
You can't wrap it up
With strings and paper
And other fancy stuff
But I think it will fit you
And that you'll be glad to know
You can take it with you
Anywhere you go

It's a song I'll sing for you
It's a song that'll cheer you up
It’s a song within you
That sometimes only needs

A little nudge
And a whole lot of love

It's sort of like a vacation
On a sandy shore
Drinking pina coladas
That the coconut girls would pour

It's a song I'll sing for you
It's a song that'll cheer you up
It’s a song within you
That sometimes only needs

A little nudge
And a whole lot of love

Feel the warm breeze of my breath
Blow you to peace
Feel it rise up in your chest
Then something in your side will bring you to your knees

THE LOAD
Music & Lyrics by Cherylann Hawk 

Almost every time I start to breaking down
I find I have a universe of friends
Trying hard to give what I don’t really need to live
To return what I have given them

Ooh, I appreciate your generosity
I could use your help if you’ll hear what I need
Won’t you let me carry my own load
And give me time to find my strength again
Won’t you let me carry my own load
But I could use some help with the doors

Almost every time that someone reaches out
I give a little too much of myself
Trying hard to give what I think that they need to live
It doesn’t help them live their own life well

Ooh I appreciate that you see love in me
I can help you out if you tell me what you need
I will let you carry your own load
Give you time to find your strength again
I will let you carry your own load
But I can help you out with the doors

Oh, the load is lighter when the truth is real
Love, cured my fear of time. It’s life I feel!

I will let you carry your own load
Give you time to find your strength again
I will let you carry your own load
But I can help you out with the doors
Won’t you let me carry my own load
Love has helped me find my strength again!
Wont you let me carry my own load

I could use some help, yes I sure could use some help
Yeah I could use some help with the doors

When it comes the time for breaking down
Together we can keep the doors wide open

MIDNIGHT SUNRISE
Lyrics by Cherylann Hawk
Music by Cherylann & Jason Treuman

Midnight Sunrise
Well come on and do what you do right
I look in your eyes
Can tell the path that led you here is bright

Chorus:
Now it's time to say goodbye
To the dust under your trail
To the blinding rays of light
To the thunder and the hail
Take it to the skies

Breaking through ice
With a little love for friends you'll find
You can't be too wise
In the middle of the end of time

Chorus

Midnight sunrise... Do what you do right
I look in your eyes... your path is bright
Breaking through ice... for friends you'll find
End of the time... can't be too wise

Chorus

CAN YOU FEEL
Music & Lyrics by Cherylann Hawk 

The wind is blowing through my living room
The doors are open wide
And without knowing you I give into your devoted side
I have many thoughts I think you need to hear
But the wind takes them from my tongue
so I speak to you through tears

Chorus
Can you feel my love
When you feel my touch
Can you feel my love
The wind can’t heal too much
But my body can, oh my body can

The window… well it’s open in my living room
Enter through my eyes
And without choosing words I whisper through
Tender soothing sighs.
(How can I tell you how I feel?)
My heart mumbles words that you can’t understand,
Cause the wind takes them… well it takes them from my lips
So I speak to you with my hands

(Bridge)
The wind is my friend but it’s a bitch to
Harness a friend like the wind cause it’s a bit too
Hard to find the words
Hard to find the words
Can you feel? Can you feel my love?
Can you feel? Can you feel my love?
Can you feel? Can you feel? Oh!

Chorus

ALI'S LYRICS
MILLIONS OF CHANCES
Music & Lyrics by Alison Schelin

I remember climbing trees and all the other things you love when you're a kid
I remember dreaming of the things that I'd do that I never did
I remember playing little games where I's supposed to be somebody else
I remember formulating all the ways that one day I would be myself 


Chorus:
I'm on the road but I'm on the shoulder
I'm feeling cold maybe's cause I'm older

I got a lot of things I wanna do before I spend my first night in the sky
I got a lot of questions I want answered the who what when and whys
I got a lot of disappointments they're still plain to me as day
I got a lot of wrongs I wanna right I am sorry for the things I said 

Chorus:
I'm on the road but I'm on the shoulder
I'm feeling cold maybe's cause I'm older 

I'd like to hear an explanation as to what went wrong that day
I'd like to know exactly why you packed up and drove away
I'd like to chalk it all up to unfortunate circumstances
I'd like to let you know out there we got millions and millions of chances 

Chorus:
I'm on the road but I'm on the shoulder
I'm feeling cold maybe's cause I'm older

I don't care if you don't agree with my philosophies
I got faith in the power of maybes and possiblies
Who the hell out there knows anything anyway
And if I never find out well that's okay 

Chorus:
I'm on the road but I'm on the shoulder
I'm feeling cold maybe's cause I'm older
