   What Matters

   Buy track Lyrics

   Verse:
   You, you’ve got all you need
   But can you see, what really matters in this world
   You’ve got your things,
   But all your things, can blind you to what’s got real worth
   Caught up, in the day to day
   One thing I’ll say, this life flies by with utmost haste
   Don’t reach the end
   To find only then, you’ve let your time here go to waste

   Chorus 1:
   Try to make your baby smile
   Don’t shy from that extra mile
   Rise up to a brand new day
   Find a kind word to say
   Verse:
   There’s, a simple truth
   A truth that you, up to now have always missed
   Each breathe you take
   Each passing day, you’ve got to count them as a gift
   There’s, no money back
   No guarantees, yeah what will be will surely be
   It’s up to you
   It’s up to me, to find some joy in all we see

   Chorus 2:
   Make time for the simple things
   Dr. Suess and a playground swing
   Join in on a pillow fight

   Hold'em when they need to cry

   Reprise Chorus 1:
   Try to make your baby smile
   Don’t shy from that extra mile
   Rise up to a brand new day
   Find a kind word to say
   What Matters Most

   Small Towns

   Buy track Lyrics

   Verse:
   It was 1980 back in my hometown, population 309.
   The folks were God-fearing farmers and backwoods sawyers;
   it was a simple place, a simple time.
   And the main street through, it was a two-lane road.
   Not a traffic light in sight. We had an old general store,
   a post office and a little café named Roy’s.

   Chorus:
   And now it’s been 30 years and the town’s grown up,
   and it’s not quite the same as it was.
   Life in the city went crazy and the chaos it seems
   left people lookin’ for new places to go.
   It’s hard to watch a small town grow.

   Verse:
   Well the family’s been planted down on this here farm
   for the last 97 years. It’s out on County Road 50, on 300 acres
   and Grandma, she lives next door.
   Now the main street’s filled up with busy commuters
   headin’ to and from the Interstate.
   The old mill closed down, it’s all fallin’ apart,
   that’s not the way it was in better days.

   Chorus:
   Now in the old ball field there are 200 homes,
   and across the street a Wal-Mart and bank.
   Our little sleepy old town, it’s called Suburbia now,
   I feel as if I’m losin’ part of my soul.
   It’s hard to watch a small town grow.

   Verse / Bridge:
   I remember Granddaddy sayin’ changin’ is hard,
   but there are times you gotta go with the flow.
   But I still look back to that old hometown
   that I knew not so long ago.

   Chorus:
   Now in the old ball field there are 200 homes,
   and across the street a Wal-Mart and bank.
   I'd like to turn back time and see that hometown of mine
   I feel as if I’m losin’ part of my soul.
   Cause it’s hard to watch a small town grow!

   Not Ready Yet

   Buy track Lyrics

   Verse:
   Now you don’t know this yet
   But you’re beautiful as can be
   I hope someday you see
   What I already see

   You’re every single thing
   He could ever hope for
   And so I dread the day
   He shows up at my door

   Chorus:
   Don’t talk to that boy
   Cause I’m not ready yet
   To see my little girl
   Climb so high
   I know I can’t stop time
   But give me just a minute
   Don’t talk to that boy
   Cause I’m not, I’m just not ready yet

   Verse:
   He’ll promise you the sun
   When he can’t afford the moon
   Sweep you off your feet
   But honey it’s too soon

   Now I’m not saying no
   I’m saying please don’t go
   Just a little time
   Before you say goodbye

   Chorus:
   Don’t talk to that boy
   Cause I’m not ready yet
   To see my little girl
   Climb so high
   I know I can’t stop time
   But give me just a minute
   Oh don’t talk to that boy
   Cause I’m not, I’m just not ready yet

   Repeat Chorus:
   No don’t talk to that boy
   Cause I’m not ready yet
   To see my little girl
   Climb so high
   I know I can’t stop time
   But give me just a minute
   Don’t talk to that boy
   Oh I’m not, I’m just not ready yet

   Chasing Stars

   Buy track Lyrics

   Verse:
   Way out west there's a distant star
   And it shine so bright that it can't be far
   Cause when I reach my hand out to the light
   I can feel it.

   It throws its light for thr world to see
   But it's casting shadows from the feet of me
   Cause my own light pales in the company
   Of your spirit

   Chorus:
   And I know, I know
   You're way up there and I'm way down here
   But I'll keep running for you now
   And I'll go, I'll go
   But I've got to get up to where you are
   I know it's futile, but I'll keep
   Chasing Stars

   Verse:
   Where were you when the darkness came
   When I hung my head
   When I owned my shame
   Oh I reached out, though it was in vain
   Then I saw a flash and I understood
   It was I who crept away
   You were always right there
   Waiting for me to arise and make my claim

   Chorus:
   And I know, I know
   You're way up there and I'm way down here
   But I'll keep running for you now
   And I'll go, I'll go
   But I've got to get up to where you are
   I know it's futile, but I'll keep
   Chasing Stars

   And I know, I know
   You're way up there and I'm way down here
   But I'll keep running for you now
   And I'll go, I'll go
   But I've got to get up to where you are
   I know it's futile, but I'll keep
   Chasing Stars

   Forty Days

   Buy track Lyrics

   Verse:
   Looking out at so much grey
   It’s hard to say these clouds will break
   You tell yourself, too much to take
   Too much of fear, too much heart ache

   Chorus:
   Been comin down for forty days
   It aint let up in forty days
   So weighed down for forty days
   But the sun will shine in forty days

   Verse:
   Looking for that olive bough
   To lift your hopes and let you know
   What came to pass aint here to stay
   It too will soon be on its way

   Chorus:
   Been comin down for forty days
   It aint let up in forty days
   So weighed down for forty days
   But the sun will shine in forty days

   Verse / Bridge:
   Looking for a brighter day
   Without the clouds, without the rain
   I tell you friend that you can win
   Just don’t give up, don’t give in

   Chorus:
   Been comin down for forty days
   It aint let up in forty days
   So weighed down for forty days
   But the sun will shine

   There's Hope

   Buy track Lyrics

   Verse:
   It seems to me lately, almost constantly
   Someone asks me where I think we’re heading
   You can see it in their eyes, they’re trying to disguise
   The fear they can’t avoid what they’ve been dreading

   Lead In:
   I can’t say for sure where all this will end
   One thing I do know fate is not our only friend

   Chorus:
   There’s hope, hope in the eyes of a child
   There’s hope, hope for you and me
   There’s hope, hope of a new beginning
   If you’ll only lift your eyes and see

   Verse:
   I know you think your dreams saw fit to up and leave
   With nothing left you don’t know where you’re going
   But when you’ve lost it all there’s nowhere left to fall
   So brush away the dust and just start climbing

   Lead In:
   No I can’t say for sure where all this will end
   One thing I do know fate is not our only friend

   Chorus:
   There’s hope, hope in the eyes of a child
   There’s hope, hope for you and me
   There’s hope, hope of a new beginning
   If you’ll only lift your eyes and see

   Verse:
   Someday you’ll recall the times you had it all
   Along with when you felt like you were dying
   You’ll know then it’s not far to get from where you are
   To a place where you can see that life’s worth living

   Lead In :
   I can’t say for sure where all this will end
   One thing I do know fate is not our only friend

   Chorus:
   There’s hope, hope in the eyes of a child
   There’s hope, hope for you and me
   There’s hope, hope of a new beginning
   If you’ll only lift your eyes and see
