Save Another

(Jon Christopher)

When I was born I was nine months old
Already to old to be doing as I was told
And they put me in clothes and they sent me to school
Where you learn how to learn life's essential tools
And all these seasons keep passing us by
Another summer just slipped out the corner of our eye
Summer just slipped out the corner of our eye

Is this the season my darling we begin to understand
That if you want light and if you want laughter
Then give that to someone else

Save another and you save yourself
Save another and you save yourself
Give what you want to someone else
Save another and you save yourself 

You can move freely on the train but you can not get off
And all the lines you've drawn you some day must cross
And the world is with me wherever I go
Lord you know l loved you so lord you know I loved you so 

But there's no savior here my darling
We got to understand If you want love and if you want kindness
Then give that to someone else 

Save another and you save yourself
Save another and you save yourself
Give what you want to someone else
Save another and you save yourself 

Theres no savior here my darling don't let them fool you
Theres no savior here my darling and no time to waste
And there ain't no heaven above only right here and now in this place
And there ain't no heaven above only right here and now in this place
Save yourself don't let them fool you 

Save another and you save yourself
Save another and you save yourself
Give what you want to someone else
Save another and you save yourself
Save yourself
Don't let them fool you
Everything coming back to you
Give what you want to someone else
Save another and you save yourself
Don't let them fool you
Save another
Everything coming back to you

Another Drop of Rain

(Jon Christopher)

I walked on forever
I wore my feet out on this earth
I don't know this fire that keeps me moving on
But its been burning since my birth 

I have had thirst (2Xs) 

And the animals cross the plain
And lovers crying out their lover's name
And the junkies fill their vein
In search of another drop of rain 

And all these unanswered questions
Its hard to tell just what their worth
I've searched for the answers from book to book
And I've drank down every verse 

I have had thirst (2Xs)

And the animals cross the plain
And lovers crying out their lover's name
And the junkies fill their vein
In search of another drop of rain 

And people saying
Keep your head above the water
Keep your head above the water
But you just going to dive right in (4xs) 

And the animals cross the plain
And lovers crying out their lover's name
And the junkies fill their vein
In search of another drop of rain

And the animals cross the plain
And lovers crying out their lover's name
And the junkies fill their vein
In search of another drop of rain (4Xs)

Keep Singing Your Song

(Jon Christopher)

Keep singing your song singing your song
Even after all the money is gone
Your time is coming and it wont be long
Keep singing your song keep singing your song
Keep singing your song singing your song
And make the music your own
Sing it out loud wherever you roam
Keep singing your song keep singing your song
It won't make weak it won't make you strong
All roads lead to home 

Everybody's going through changes
But that's cause the world is turning
Inside its burning and your yearning
Let them sleeping dogs lie and let god play his games in the sky
Ain't no use in wondering why just keep on moving on
Keep singing your song keep singing your song 

Keep singing your song keep singing your song
And make the melody your own
When the load is heavy and the night seems long
Keep singing your song keep singing your song
It wont won't make you wright It won't make you wrong
All roads lead to home 

Everybody's going through changes
But that's cause the world is turning
Inside it's burning and your yearning
You're going to have fortunes won and lost
But you gain from both and they have their cost
You are never lost just keep on
Everybody's going through changes
But that's cause the world is turning
Inside it's burning and your yearning for what you had all along
Keep singing your song keep singing your song 

Instrumental/Guitar solo

Everybody's going through changes
But that's cause the world is turning
Inside its burning and your yearning
Let them sleeping dogs lie and let god play his games in the sky
Ain't no use in wondering why just keep on
Everybody's going through changes
But that's cause the world is turning
Inside it's burning and your yearning
Your going to have fortunes won and lost
But you gain from both and they have their cost
You are never lost just keep on
Everybody's going through changes
But that's cause the world is turning
Inside it's burning and your yearning for what you had all along
Keep singing your song keep singing your song (2xs)

Worth the Fall

(Jon Christopher)

Help me to understand
The woman think so different then the man
The woman doing so much more then she can
So much more then she can and more then she should
To much said and misunderstood
I took but just a moment to catch my breath
You took all your pride and all your shoes and you left 

You're some where beneath heaven and above stone
We ain't even talking on the telephone
If we don't call and if that was it and this is all
I still say the rise was worth the fall

Conversation turning
And then you get that look in your eye
Lightning crashing through some clear blue sky
The woman see color when there's nothing there
She'll take you in and she'll take you where
Where you want to stay but you can't remain
You even looked pretty in the pouring rain

You're some where beneath heaven and above stone
We ain't even talking on the telephone
But the moon and the ocean dance
And we wake up every morning and we take our chances
If we don't call and if that was it and this is all
I still say that the rise was worth the fall

If we have this and nothing more and time is on to us
I give you back to you little parts I'll keep the parts that went too deep
All and all the rise was worth it (2xs)
I'll probably call but if that was it and this is all
I still say that the rise was worth the fall

If that was it and this is all
I still say that the rise was worth the fall

Help me to understand the women think so different then the man

Fill My Glass

(Jon Christopher)

I woke up this morning to the sounds of a bad song
Lying there watching my alarm
Thinking where have all the songwriters gone
Music got trapped inside a ring tone music got trapped 

Fill my glass fill my glass give me something to make the night last
Not forever like a photograph
Just long enough for me to kiss the past good bye 

And maybe the sun that shines only blinds your eyes
And maybe the rain that falls is going to clear your mind
And baby give me your glass and I'll give you mine
Tonight were going to have a good time
Good times (2xs) 

And you give me no less and I ask for no more
I ain't even been keeping track of the score
What you even trying to win for
Your first but your last in reverse your going to get there
Ain't no use in trying to get there fast
Get there but there ain't no use in trying to get there fast 

Fill my glass fill my glass sometimes you just got to let the storm pass
Don't be a victim of your circumstance
Sometimes you just got to let the storm pass 

And maybe the sun that shines only blinds your eyes
And maybe the rain that falls is going to clear your mind
And baby give me your glass and I'll give you mine
Tonight were going to have a good time
Good times (3xs) 

And maybe the sun that shines only blinds your eyes
And maybe the rain that falls is going to clear your mind
And baby give me your heart and I'll give you mine
And baby tonight were going to have a good time
And maybe the sun that shines only blinds your eyes
And maybe the rain that falls is going to clear your mind
And baby give me your glass and I'll give you mine
Tonight were going to have a good time good times (4Xs) 

Bartender come fill my cup go on and fill me
Tonight give me just the good stuff
I'll let you know it when we had enough
Tonight give me just the good stuff
Fill my glass fill my glass
Give me something to make the night last
Not forever like a photograph
Just long enough for me to kiss the past good bye

Good bye

Want Me Now

(Jon Christopher)

Looking back now at the choices I've made
The choices I've made the choices I've made
Oh the ways that I've paid the ways that I've paid for the choices I've made
Who's going to want me now 

Come on feed me lord don't give me just any chord
I want the one thats all in I hear the ocean calling
On and on for as long as Im able I lay my cards down on the table
For one more hand do you want me now 

Looking back now at the choices I've made
The choices I've made the choices I've made
Oh the daemons I've slayed
The daemons I've slayed for the choices I've made
Who's going to want me now

Come on heed me lord nobody loves you more
You be the one that shines in to this frame my minds in
Don't give me just any chord I want the one thats all in
I hear the ocean calling
And the rooms turning as the walls perspire
And these voices sound like some devils choir
Coming through my amplifier saying who's going to want you 

Who's going to want you now (2xs)

All my senses all my instincts
Ten thousand lives tonight I've lived ten thousand lies tonight
Ten thousand lives tonight
And its going to be a little while until that morning light
Be a little while until that mornings light 

Who's going to want you now (3xs) 

Looking back now at the choices I've made
The choices I've made the choices I've made
Oh the ways that I've paid
The ways that I've paid for the choices I've made
Who's going to want me now

You Are Alive

(Jon Christopher)

They'll always be a reason to be sad
you only need one to be glad you are alive
And that sun light on your face
came light years through space just to get to you
The ones we’ve lost along the way they live through us today be alive 

Be amazed by what you’re seeing the city lights are screaming
Your senses reeling and the changing of the season
Everywhere you look there is something to believe in
When you’re feeling beaten don’t forget to breathe in
Close your eyes and just give thanks you are alive (2xs)

They'll always be a reason to be hateful
You only need one to be grateful you are alive
And that wind upon your skin
Has been circling this whole world just to get to you
And no one knows tomorrow but today you are alive

Be amazed by what you’re seeing a little baby sleeping
Whose care is in your keeping they’ll soon be repeating
Everything they see so be something to believe in
When you get so mad your seething don’t forget to breathe in
Close your eyes and just give thanks you are alive (2xs)

Be amazed right now you’ve got blood racing through your veins
Be amazed you are water yet you burn fire
Now open up your eyes  (4xs)

Be amazed by what you’re seeing the city lights are screaming
Your senses reeling and the changing of the season
Everywhere you look there is something to believe in
When you’re feeling beaten don’t stop dreaming
Be amazed right now you’ve got blood racing through your veins
You are something to believe in when you are feeling beaten
Don’t forget to breathe in
Close your eyes and just give thanks you are alive (3xs)
Every morning that you wake give thanks
Just give thanks you are alive

Just Can't Last

(Jon Christopher)

I was a rock when you found me but you leave me like sand
I think the last piece just went and slipped through your hand
And I sipped through your hand down through the cracks in the floor
We don't feel it you don't like my music no more 

We went too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last
We went too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last 

I was like ice I feel like water
I ain't my self it's like I'm spread out all over
I was a man I feel like a child
Always wanting what he don't instead of wanting what he has 

We went too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last
We went too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last 

I was a rock when you found me but you leave me like sand
I think the last piece of me just slipped out your hand 

Too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last 

I was a man I feel like a child
Always wanting what he don't instead of just wanting what he has 

We went too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last
Too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last 

We went to high too soon too heavy too quick
Ain't no use now girl we just too broke to fix
Too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last 

We went too high too soon too strong too fast
And that kind of loving just can't last

It Will Be

(Jon Christopher)

I got some tears for your eyes
And a memory for your smile
I want your freedom of mind
You know that we can take our time
And they'll be no want for trying
You are the bed that I lie in
Even though there's no denying my love

But it all comes down to one thing one thing we should know
Wherever we think it's going surely it will go
We got to light the way surely we can see
That what ever we think it is girl surely it will be 

I got a feeling for this moment
You're the inspiration on it
In our hands is everywhere
Only we can take us there 

It all comes down to one thing one thing we should know
Wherever we think it's going surely it will go
We got to light the way surely we can see
That what ever we think it is girl surely it will be 

INSTRUMENTAL

It all comes down to one thing one thing we should know
Wherever we think it's going surely it will go
We got to light the way surely we can see
What ever we think it is girl surely it will be
It all comes down to one thing one thing we should know
Wherever we think it's going surely it will go
You know we got to light the way surely we can see
What ever we think it is girl surely it will be
Surely it will be

Woman and Wife

(Jon Christopher)

My woman's got it bad with my wife
My woman's got it bad with my wife
And the one says to the other you ain't staying all night
I better not see you in the morning's light
I better not see you in the morning light
And they use to be the best of friends
But now its a war and it has no end
And then they start to gang up on me
And Im hanging from the limb of a tall tall tree
Cutting me up like a knife
My woman and my wife 

If they were a card in a deck of cards they'd both be a ace
I'd be the king caught in the middle just trying to save his face
I though that two would mean twice as much
But they cancel out each other and I get no touch
I was born to love they were born to fight
My woman and my wife

My woman's got it bad with my wife
My woman's got it bad with my wife
And I think I've come to a point in my life
Where I just want to sleep strait through the night
And it was never perfect
But there was a time I thought it was worth it
But now Im not so sure my clothes on the floor
I can't get either one to do for me no more
Causing all this strife
My woman and my wife

If they were a card in a deck of cards they'd both be an ace
I'd be the king trapped in his castle just trying to save his face
I though that two would mean twice as much
But they cancel out each other and I get no touch
I was born to love they were born to fight
My woman and my wife

If they were a card in a deck of cards they'd both be a ace

I though that two would mean twice as much
But they cancel out each other and I get no touch
I was born to love they were born to fight
My woman and my wife

Cutting me up like a knife my woman and my wife
Making pure hell of my life my woman and my wife
