What Matters
Buy track LyricsWhat MattersVerse:
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 wasteChorus 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 seeChorus 2:
Make time for the simple things
Dr. Suess and a playground swing
Join in on a pillow fightHold'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

Small Towns
Buy track LyricsSmall TownsVerse:
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 LyricsNot Ready YetVerse:
Now you don’t know this yet
But you’re beautiful as can be
I hope someday you see
What I already seeYou’re every single thing
He could ever hope for
And so I dread the day
He shows up at my doorChorus:
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 yetVerse:
He’ll promise you the sun
When he can’t afford the moon
Sweep you off your feet
But honey it’s too soonNow I’m not saying no
I’m saying please don’t go
Just a little time
Before you say goodbyeChorus:
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 yetRepeat 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 yetLyrics Jensen

Chasing Stars
Buy track LyricsChasing StarsVerse:
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 spiritChorus:
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 StarsVerse:
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 claimChorus:
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 StarsAnd 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

Forty Days
Buy track LyricsForty DaysVerse:
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 acheChorus:
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 daysVerse:
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 wayChorus:
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 daysVerse / 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 inChorus:
Been comin down for forty days
It aint let up in forty days
So weighed down for forty days
But the sun will shineLyrics Jensen

Just Smile
Buy track LyricsJust SmileVerse:
I been thinking bout
How things ought to be
Instead of how they’ve been
You have got to smile
Just a little more
It’s not like it’s a sinChorus:
Life is meant for laughter
Life is meant for peace
Life is meant for living
So, come on and smile for meVerse:

Kill you to give a little
Nod to those you meetChorus:

Is so beautiful
As long as you dive in
If you just stand there

There's Hope
Buy track LyricsThere's HopeVerse:
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 dreadingLead In:
I can’t say for sure where all this will end
One thing I do know fate is not our only friendChorus:
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 seeVerse:
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 climbingLead In:
No I can’t say for sure where all this will end
One thing I do know fate is not our only friendChorus:
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 seeVerse:
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 livingLead In :
I can’t say for sure where all this will end
One thing I do know fate is not our only friendChorus:
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 seeLyrics Jensen
