Son of a Gun (loaded)

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Jeff Wardell, Phil Ulrich

We came from out of the mist, with our stories, our
songs, and fists
Lost in the mystery of where it was we came from
Now I'm standing here in a T-shirt, black jeans,
a cheap pair of sneakers
Hope's gone, the songs were wrong
And I only feel god when I turn up the speakers

Tonight... don't tell me it will be all right
'cause I've seen enough to know where
I'm coming from
And I... I'm the son of a loaded gun
And I know it's time to face where I'm
coming from

We came from out of the mists, fighting battles
and making lists
Of all the good we did and the ones who did us wrong
And on our backs we bore the bate from all who'd gone before
I'm still young but my heart is breaking
And I know that it isn't right

Tonight... I'm giving up the fight
And the hate inside and all that I've become
'Cause I... I'm the son of a loaded gun
And I need someone to save my life

No pacifist, no humanist
Just one son from out of the mist
Just someone who wants to live
Saying "Help Me God"

Tonight... don't tell me it will be all right
I know the truth, I know where I'm coming from
I... I'm the son of a loaded gun
And I need someone to save my life

tonight... I'm giving up the fight
And the hate inside and all that I've become
I... I'm the son of a loaded gun
And I know it's time to face where
I'm coming from

 

?????

Words & Lyrics by: Jeff Wardell

What keeps you awake when dreams come into the room
It's nothing pounds in your ears when silence enters the room
You've heard a noise for much to long that no-one else can hear but you
You've fallen in through the hands of those who held you... held you

Dream of leaving... in hopes of seeing
Angels in full dress... and life in fullness

A hand digs deep within your soul and tries to paint the
blackened walls
Harvest all the life that's left and watch all darkness
fall... way

Give away you... and you can save you
Taste forgiveness... know true happiness
Love unmeasured... a life that's treasured

Cross the bridge that takes you home... and now it's hard to
hear a sound
Jump into the bluest sky... and you'll hold he chains
that held you down
You'll hold the chains that held you down
Hold the chains that held you down
I know now it's hard to hear a sound
But you'll hold the chains that held you down

 

Saint

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Jeff Wardell
 

I wanted you to know
All the people that I helped in crossing roads
But they always walk so slow
I turned away to find another way

Turning to the left, turning to the right
Turning on myself, my health, my pride...

But the greatest mystery
Is that you've seen the worst in me
And you still love me and my life

I wanted you to see
Only the very best of me
And all the money that I gave
To take the guilt away

When there's nothing left
And nothing's going right
I see I'm not the Saint I thought I was

It's the greatest mystery
I know you've seen the worst in me
And I know I can't make it right
In my life a mirsaole
And it's the greatest mystery
That you still love me and my life

... I wanted you to know

 

A.M.

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Jeff Wardell, Phil Ulrich

Lying wide awake in the morning silent
I woke you up to say something before the violence outside
Comes crashing through your door
Five Twenty a.m. ... your eyes are open
Woke you up to say... hey take this moment
Before the lies that want to take away your life
Come crashing through your door

It's not strange when life is hell to think that all that's real is
hopelessness
And when you've only know defeat
I know that hope just doesn't make much sense
But God is real.. not some invention
And it's in His power and His intention... to give you life

Could be the morning of the first day of your life

Five twenty a.m. ... You eyes are wide
And in your mind maybe you're thinking that there's more to life...
Than just trying to survive
His hand is resting on your head... the God who gave you life

Your hands, your feet and all you are
Your breath, the beating of your heart
This pain that you've been dragged into... it falls on you it sucks you in
It takes the things God have to bless you throws them in your face

Now you're trusting in the darkness
Because it's real and 'cause it feels intense
Putting all your hope in suicide... it doesn't make much sense
Can you remember those moments in the mornings
Those flashes in the darkness that you couldn't quite describe
Like a desire for something just beyond your reach
Like what if there's a God who loves you and accepts you
And who has the power to turn your life around... well there is

Could be the morning of the first day of your life

 

Thinking it over

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Jeff Wardell, Phil Ulrich

 

My arguments, my quick defense, the things I said... It doesn't'
really matter
My strongest smile, my latest style, the Darwin trials... It
doesn't really matter
The books I've read and my best friends and all they said... It
doesn't really matter
And expert's views can't soothe me now
Their words burn out when all you trust is shattered
Thinking it over... working it out

You never know what you believe till it's a matter of life and death
And now's the time I'm asking why, and how, and where do I go now
I know it's time... I know it's time

Through the door, leaving all that I was before
Walk away from the grave, nothing matters more
Help me stand Lord take my hand... I don't want to stay
All these years avoiding you Lord blow it all away
I spent some time... for a while I was thinking it over

Leave my plans take my hands... carry me across
I don't mind... leave it all behind... I know it's no loss
I spent some time for a while I was thinking it over
You're really all that's left that's real in my life... I've been
thinking it over

Through the door, leaving all that I was before
Walk away from the grave... nothing matters more
Leave my plans Lord take my hands.. carry across
I don't mind... leave it all behind... I know it's no loss
I know I should have done it years ago but I was thinking it over
I know I should have done it years ago but now the thinking is over

 

All My Ships

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Jeff Wardell

 

All my ships are sailing out... away to distant shores
All my packed full of all things good but I forgot to get on board
You said... It's o.k. ... it's alright
Set me down and you wiped my eyes
Oh Lord... my life
You didn't even sigh or roll your eyes

All my life I had a dream to travel six or seven seas but...
All my ships are sinking now
You turned to me... you sat me down
You said... It's o.k. ... it's alright
Told me that you love my life
Oh Lord, my life
I mess it up sometimes
But you go on

 

In And Out Of Time

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Jeff Wardell

Hold my hand I'll go to sleep
All my life Lord stand by me
A burden... I've seen it on men... on me
We dream such immortal dreams... but the hands of time...
Those hands don't comfort me
Chokes my hopes, my dreams... it seems they can to be so mean
While I make my bed in the shadow of my grave
Help me sleep secure... let me know that I am safe

I dream of place for the longest while
In the corner of my vision somewhere out of time
And it's always seemed so hard to sleep
So far... the home... so deep in the harvest of me

All my life it's haunted me
Hold my life Lord help me see
The country I dreamed of... the place
Eternal... Immortal.. It's another day that I've been away
One more night I'll fall asleep
Hold my life Lord... my life Lord... my eternity

While I make my bed in the shadow of my grave
Help me sleep secure... Let me know that I am safe
And I'll make my bed in the shadow of my grave
And I'll sleep secure... 'cause I know that I am safe

I'll dream of a country... a place
Eternal... Immortal.. so deep in the heart of me

Hold my hand I'll go to sleep
 

Comfort

Words and Music: Phil Ulrich

It's o.k. now I know I'm far from home
And I feel better now
And I feel thought the pain is real you'll get me through
somehow

No words can say.. no easy way
In this world there will be pain
In this world we're gona hurt but you're coming back again

This day just fell away, I couldn't make it turn out right
comfort

It's so hard to face another grave
In this world there'll be pain
But you've overcome the world and you're coming back again

Yeah we tried... we really tried we couldn't make it work out right
Comfort

You felt the pain... not just a face on the outside looking in
A miracle... you came to catch a world that's falling

Tired eyes and shattered lives... we couldn't make it work out
right
You know our names
Comfort

Sting

Words: Phil Ulrich

Music: Phil Ulrich, Kriss Simonfalvi

I'm getting up and just walking out
You used to scare me... you used to get me down
But it's over... I'm going home
And I know about all the lies you told
but death the lies you tell is the only power
that you hold
it's over... I'm going home

Hey... Death... Where's your sting

I'm getting up and I'm just walking out
Because God defeated you death and Jesus took away your power
And He loves me... I'm going home

I know about all your limits now
You can make my body die but you can never take the life
That God has given me... I'm going home
Hey... Death... Where's your sting

Like water all around me... and weeds around my head
I was down and depressed and it all came down around me
But when my life was fading out... and when all my hope was dead
God lifted my head... He lifted my head
he lifted me up on rook... I can say... it's over

So I'm getting up and I'm just walking out
Because God defeated you death, and Jesus took away your power
and He loves me... I'm going home

I know about all your limits now
You can make my body die but you can never take the life
That God has given me... I'm going home

Hey... Death... where's your sting

 

1984 High Score King

Words and Music: Phil Ulrich

 

Standing here at the end in the setting sun
Thinking hard on the things left that matter of all the things that I've done
The great plans I made... and my bank account
My precious new guitar, you're all fading far from my memory now

A wise man has said... when your end has come
That the only thing that will 'matter is what's left to carry on
A wise man has said... when your time is come
All the things that you thought were important will probably
seem quite dumb

Whole life behind me... Lord come and find me
Jesus come to remind me you're all that can see me through
Whole life behind me... Come stand beside me
Remind me it's only you that can save me and see my through

In nineteen eighty four I got the highest score
On a video game... I got to write my name but now the game is gone
In nineteen eighty five I won second prize
For my poetry... funny how it seems that the fame moved on

I kind of smiled and stood there for a while
In all the wonder and the stillness that had come
You turned to me... all that I could see
You never have to hurt again I like that

I want to tell all my friends what you have don
How you saved my life, how you set it right...
all that I set wrong
Standing here at the end... in the setting sun
I just want to say that I feel o.k. not the end has come
The world that's been and everything it seemed
Has turned to shadow as I'm walking out the door
You turned to me and all that I could see
My greatest friend, my savior and my Lord

Tears

Words and Music: Phil Ulrich

 

Some of them are drunk again
Some forgotten why
Some of them have never seen the tears I cry
Turned from their creator without a reason why
With barrioades and hand grenades
Away from life

These tears... falling down like
rain on the water for my sons and
daughters
Through the years... falling down like
rain tonight
These tears... falling down like rain
on the water for my sons and daughters
For their lives

Some of them are tired again
Some of them just cry
Turning round in circles saying... why
The war is over... they do not have to die
Barrioades and hand grenades... why

These tears... falling down like rain on
the water for my sons and daughters
Through the years... falling down like
rain tonight
These tears... falling down like rain on
the water for my sons and daughters
for their lives
