I Belong To You There’s this one cool ghost, that I feel the most There’s this one cool breeze through my hair If I added all the colors, My pallets screaming for some tenderness My brush is getting dry, it must be the hair In case you’re wondering, I always had a choice In case you’re listening, I couldn’t hear The calls from the wild, The screaming of my child Speaking tongues among the young, the youth grows near So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong Can you help me through my day And I ask you to be honest; I promise I’ll be strong Can you help me on my way I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat) There’s this one cool girl, that I love the most And her voice keeps ringing in my ears Her smile it makes me laugh, A picture perfect of the past The mood grows close, I feel that ghost My heart grows near Now you got me started, and now I have to write Put that pen to the paper, Until they come out right The time is getting near, the moments finally come here I cross my legs, a big deep breath My hands feel right. So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong Can you help me through my day And I ask you to be honest, I promise I’ll be strong Can you help me on my way I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat) This time I’m spending here, I had a chance to think And the time I’m spending there, I catch my breath Spread the sheets, I pull the cover Getting closer to my lover The mood grows close, I feel that ghost My heart grows near Now its got me thinking, Its got me up all night Put your words to the trigger, everything will be alright Grab that pin, we’re almost in The love is coming from within Open the book and have a look, The truth grows near So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong Can you help me through my day And I ask you to be honest, I promise I’ll be strong Can you help me on my way I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat) Now, there’s one more thing, that I’d like to share And there’s one more verse, to say I care Have a toast, to the ghost, The feelings happening to most Having fun in the sun, the earth grows near Now it’s got me thinking, and now I have to right I put my pen to the paper, and hope they come out right Hear my words they sound sincere, The pictures looking very clear It’s what I thought, that’s what I’m taught To find you near… So I ask you a favor, so as long as I belong Can you help me through my day And I ask you to be honest, I promise I’ll be strong Can you help me on my way I, I, I, belong to you (Repeat)

How Many Miles How many miles, do we go through How many faces do we see How many changes do we walk through, together To eat, from your tree If there’s a little sunshine It brings a brighter day It’s got me laughing with my good friends It’s got me smiling all the way You bring me songbirds in the morning You bring me sunshine in the day You bring me laughter so I can get through, Together…to eat from your tree There’s no hiding place, I call home There’s no other pace, then my own If I ran, ran away with time Then you’d see what’s on my mind How many miles, do we go through How many faces do we see How many changes do we walk through, Together, to eat from your tree We try to say it through religion We try to change it through belief We learn the feeling through emotion We learn to find the inner peace So now I’m asking for forgiveness And now I’m giving you my grace How many miles, do we walk through, Together, just to eat, from your tree There’s no hiding place, I call home There’s no other pace, then my own If I ran, ran away with time Then you’d see, what’s on my mind (Reggae Chug) There’s no other place, for me There’s no other love for free If we reach up high, we’ll see How its come Where its gone How’s it feel, in my head How many miles, do we go through How many faces do we see How many changes do we walk through, Together, to eat from your tree

Hear It Is 05:19
Hear it is There’s too much going on That this beat, is so strong And every life we live It brings us closer, where we belong And everyone we feel Is surrounded, by our love And everywhere we’ve been It brings us closer, and closer to it all The answer lies within To be challenged, thru our own sin But be brave cuz in time….. It will have shown you Will have told you And maybe scold you Oh please don’t leave my mind I’m working for you To bring it on thru And maybe most of us, can see the light That we’re drawn to And if I traveled, on the sound waves To the future that I’m in I’d ride along my savior’s side To make sure that, I am in There’s too much going on That this feelings so strong Our love is what we feed To make it carry on, and carry on And everyone around Is surrounded, by our love Embraced by its sound That was given, from up above A gift from god that breathes And it started, from the seed I’m told my life is long It will have shown me Will have told me And maybe scold me Oh please don’t leave my mind I’m working for you To bring it on thru And maybe most of us, can see the light That we’re drawn to And if I traveled, on the sound waves To the future that I’m in I’d ride along, my saviors side To make, sure that I am in. Repeat First Verse and Chorus

Rainy Day 03:56
Rainy Day What are you doing for a rainy day Do you have the keys to your old mans fancy car What do you do about another way Do you laugh and smile and it makes you feel right at home I have never seen a woman that can bring me back How are you feeling when the love is real Do you see the brightest light up, in the sky And what are you thinking when the work is hard Do you see a better living or find a better way Do you have a clearer voice, and make a better day I have never seen a woman that can bring me back Now that I told you can you hear my voice Did I say it enough to remind you of how it is here Now that I told you that my love is real Cause we see a better living and found a better way Now we hear a clearer voice so we found a better day I have never seen a woman that can bring me back

In The Sun 05:10
In the Sun Everybody knows, how the story goes Evolution of the mind, body, and soul Teachers thinking free, you’ll get the best of me I walk through the doorways of the greatest with ease Now that I’m sitting here, maybe now we can share This one true moment all our thoughts go in the air Now that we manifest, this newly found treasure chest Share it with the people; let the Lord do all the rest And when I hear, you call my name The message is clear, my heart feels the same When I’m with you, there’s nothing we can’t do… In time Everybody knows, where all the people go We’re heading for the doorway of the mind, body, and soul Now that you’ve seen it here, the message is very clear It’s perfect in the moment and I’m thankful that you’re here Hearing your inner voice, I say that we have a choice To bring it to existence with the laws and our persistence I say we have it all. I say we have it all Together we can make the world a better place for all the boys and girls And when I hear, you call my name The message is clear, my heart feels the same When I’m with you, there’s nothing we can’t do… In time In the sun, everybody knows, ever body grows, in the light In the sun, everybody knows, ever body grows, in the light Everybody knows, how the rhythm flows We start it with vibration in the moment of creation happens. Tracing the family tree, you’ll get the best of me Find it in the center, of your heart that’s where I’ll be Hearing your inner voice, I say that we have a choice To bring it to existence with the laws and our persistence I say we have a choice, I say we use our voice Together we can make the world a better place for all the boys and girls And when I hear, you call my name The message is clear, my heart feels the same When I’m with you, there’s nothing we can’t do… In time In the sun

There’s gold up on the hill Well it quite a life, I must confess And it’s quite a dream, I feel blessed The story’s getting old, and it’s finally been told Where there’s, gold up on the hill Ashes to ashes, dust to dust I’m singing to you, the one I trust The message sent from home, that he’s finally come home Where there’s, gold up on the hill There’s a way, I’m coming home to stay My heaven awaits me with her smile Because there’s, gold up on the hill Well this crown of gold, it never rusts And this field of dreams I can trust This cup will overflow, when our hearts have all been full Because there’s gold up on the hill There’s a way, I’m coming home to stay My heaven awaits me with her smile Because there’s, gold up on the hill Well now some days are hard, I need rest And the only thing to do, is do my best I’m reaching down below; I got a feeling in my soul That there’s gold up on the hill Ashes to ashes, dust to dust I’m singing to you, the one I trust This cup will overflow, because it’s finally full And there’s gold up on the hill There’s a way, I’m coming home to stay My heaven awaits me with her smile Because there’s, gold up on the hill Well it quite a life, I must confess And it’s quite a dream, I feel blessed The message sent from home, that he’s finally come home Where there’s, gold up on the hill Written and Performed by Joe Sweet September 20th, 2007

I Am The Light I am the light, on your shoulders And it costs me, my good prayers I am the light, I am the night And it drove; it drove me to this place I always thought I’d see it Oh I know, I know my destiny Oh I know, I know it’s good to be In the world to see, all my friends I always thought I’d be it Oh I know, I know my destiny Oh I know, I know I’ve grown to be So the world breaks, free from the past I am the light, on your shoulders And it costs me, my good prayers I am the light, I am the night Carry me away, carry me away I know, a thing or two about life Heaven, is just another way that we rise, rise, rise Now that we’re moving on, and the tide is changing I know, a thing or two about life I feel, it coming through my light Heaven, is just another way that we rise, rise, rise Now that we’re moving on, and the tide is changing I never thought I’d say it Oh I know, I know my best can be Oh I know, I know about the chance And the world at a glance, to break free And I always thought I’d play it Oh I know, I know my best can be Oh I know, I know about the place With the truth comes grace, inside me I am the light, on your shoulders And it costs me, my good prayers I am the light, I am the night Carry me away, carry me away I am the light, on your shoulders And it costs me, my good prayers I am the light, I am the night Carry me away, carry me away
