Oh worry, let me be
Oh worry, please set me free
Oh worry, you've got to go
Cause I'm tired of fighting you old foe
You old foe, you've got to go
And I really should have known that
Worry's got a hold on me
And worry won't let me be
Cause worry's got a hold on me
Now I'm losing sleep
Cause I'm tired and I can't get no relief
And I wish you'd let my mind be
But your roots have dug too deep
Dug too deep, and I can't get no relief
Worry's got a hold on me
And worry won't let me be
Cause worry's got a hold on me
Worry's got a hold on me
And worry won't let me be
Oh Worry, let go of me

World's on Fire
03:15

The hills been burning for days
And I'm lost in a sad, strange haze
Smoke billows all around
And there's no hope, no hope to be found
The world's on fire and the flames burn higher
Is this the end of days?
When things look dire, we must fight the fire
Only we can stop the blaze
Not a raindrop in the sky
Seems the whole world's gone bone dry
And there's no tears in my eyes
As I mourn our lost paradise
The world's on fire and the flames burn higher
Is this the end of days?
When things look dire, we must fight the fire
Only we can stop the blaze

The stress of the modern world is killin' me
Think I'll head for the mountain country
Find someplace where I can get away
Gonna meander down the Blue Ridge Parkway
La la la
La la la
La la la la la
Come along run away with me
We'll find our inner peace
Let's pack our bags today
Wellhead down the Blue Ridge Parkway
I'm winding down the road
Gonna set down this heavy load
I think I'll low for a while
Ain't much else to do now but sit back and smile
La la la
La la la
La la la la la
Come along run away with me
We'll find our inner peace
Let's pack our bags today
Wellhead down the Blue Ridge Parkway

I don't stay up as late as I did when I was young
Oh don't you know these days I like to rise up with the sun
And I ain't missin' out going out and having fun
Oh don't you know these days I like to rise up with the sun
Starting with the day feels so natural
I can't believe I used to sleep the day away
But hey the night is still cool
I had some darker days that led to sleepless nights
But now I'm having fun I like to rise up with the sun
A gift unto myself, forgive myself today
I won't worry when it's done and then I'll rise up with the sun
I don't stay up as late as I did when I was young
Oh don't you know these days I like to rise up with the sun

We're Gonna Make It
03:23
|

|
Every morning I wake up in a cold, cold sweat
Nightmares give way to worries of what could happen yet
And all of my friends seem to feel the same way
Some of the fight and some of them pray
Well bad men run the world and they walk the streets
And we just kept our noses to the grindstone
But I've had my ear to the track
It has to change; we can't go back!
We're gonna make it!
And if a law hurts one of our brothers then we're gonna break it!
We've got that freedom feeling, we just can't shake it
We've all had enough and we just won't take it
So let's all raise our voice
While we still have a choice
At night I lock every door and then I check again
Take stock of all the things in my house I could use as a weapon
But I get tired of living like that
It has to change, we can't go back
We're gonna make it!
And if a law hurts one of our brothers then we're gonna break it!
We've got that freedom feeling, we just can't shake it
We've all had enough and we just won't take it
So let's all raise our voice
While we still have a choice
We're gonna make it!
And if a law hurts one of our brothers then we're gonna break it!
We've got that freedom feeling, we just can't shake it
We've all had enough and we just won't take it
So let's all raise our voice
While we still have a choice
Let's all raise our voice
While we still have a choice
Let's all raise our voice
While we still have a choice

Find Joy

Find joy in the little things, don't worry what others think
Do the things that make you groove, hold on to your smile
Find joy in the everyday, don't worry what others say
Block out all the hate, don't let 'em steal your smile
Regrets I got a few, gonna keep em in my rearview
I won't let em make me blue, gonna kiss my worries goodbye
Find joy in the little things, laughs shared with your favorite peeps
And how my heart sings, when you share your smile
Find joy in the little things, don't worry what others think
Do the things that make you groove, hold on to your smile
Find joy in the little things, don't worry what others think
Do the things that make you groove, hold on to your smile

In the night
To my surprise
I see diamonds in your eyes
Hits me every time
I open my heart and mind
To the great divine
In the night
I'm mesmerized
In the night
I see diamonds in your eyes
When we see in between
What we say and what we mean
We connect as human beings
When it's this kind of day
I see life in new ways
I learn new ways to think
In the night
I'm mesmerized
In the night
I see diamonds in your eyes

When I'm home, all alone
Checkin' my phone
Just to see if you have called
Well my mind goes to places that I
Don't even want to think about at all
This world is a canvas that we paint to fit
Our fancy every day, don't leave no
We'll do it our own way
Oh, there are so many places, faces
Walking through this world with you
How could I ever doubt
Cause you got the finest love I ever knew
This world is a canvas that we paint to fit
Our fancy every day, don't leave no
We'll do it our own way
I know it's not the answer
To pack it all up and go away
Sometimes this world's so filled with cancer
And you're the only one who chases the dark away
Yeah, you're the only one who chases the dark away
The only one who chases the dark away
Yeah you chase the dark away
You chase the dark away
