lyrics

Some of you have asked about the lyrics to the cd. So, I decided to posted them here, instead of sending out individual emails. Thanks for asking!
--------------------------------------
An Emptiness Inside Of Me

She was only 21, had a lifetime ahead of her
She was a mother of two babies, which were sons.
Sometimes, people that you know, can so quickly become strangers.
In a blink of an eye, my life was changed forever.

Chorus
And I sit alone, and listen to the silence
I wonder why it happened, what might have been, what never was.
There’s a hole in my heart, an emptiness inside of me.
Since you have gone, my world’s been torn a part.
I miss you.

break

As I smile through the tears, and I try to go on with my life, the anger builds inside of me and I really want to fight.
Now, it’s been 5 years, but it seems like just yesterday.
The guilty got a pardon, but each and every night….

Chorus
I sit alone, and listen to the silence
I wonder why it happened, what might have been, what never was.
There’s a hole in my heart, an emptiness inside of me.
Since you have gone, my world’s been torn a part.

Chorus
And I sit alone, and listen to the silence
I wonder why it happened, what might have been, what never was.
There’s a hole in my heart, an emptiness inside of me.
Since you have gone, my world’s been torn a part.
I miss you.
Oh, I miss you..

Where’s The Justice For My Child

When someone you love is gone, the memory is still so strong
You'll think you see them everywhere you go
A million tears won't wash the pain sometimes you think you've gone insane
But the saddest part of all, is no one cares

Where’s the justice for my child
Why do the ones who kill and lie, always get a second try
Has the whole world just gone wild
Where’s the justice for my child

And we see one man get murdered, somewhere across the sea
The whole world is angered cause they show it on TV
But in the towns that we live in, and where our children play
A 100 or more people are killed here everyday

Where’s the justice for my child
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try
Has the whole world just gone wild
Where’s the justice for my child

We go to the trial and try to hide our tears
Our loved ones gone forever, the guilty got 10 years
The judge said he’s sorry, “The trial could only last three days.
The courthouse is booked up with more cases on the way.”

A juror said, “The sentence should have been more time.
But, they couldn't agree on how much and it was almost five.
They hurried their decision, so each could go their way
I hope they thank the good Lord, their child’s alive today

Where’s the justice for my child
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try?
Has the whole world just gone wild
Where’s the justice for my child

And I'm so tired of people saying, “I know what you are going through.”
The truth is you don't, and I hope you never do
The jails are overcrowded there’s two in every cell.
The one’s who killed our loved ones should be transferred straight to hell.

Where’s the justice for my child
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try
Has the whole world just gone wild
Where’s the justice for my child?
Why do the ones who kill and lie always get a second try
Where’s the justice for my child

Angel Day

I woke up this morning, like any other day
But with a million things to do, I must be on my way
This week has been so hard, as this day was drawing near
The day I lost the one I loved the one I held so dear

I go to a party shop, for the things I need to buy
Like ribbons and balloons, and the stuff to make them fly
Then I tear off bits of paper that I place in each balloon
After I write down what I am thinking and how I'm missing you

Chorus
Angel Day, a day you didn't chose
But your life was taken part of me left here with you
So until I get to Heaven, and see your smiling face
I'll send balloons to you, on Angel Day

Change up
And I still don't understand, why things happen like they do
And I can't imagine why God left me and took you

So, I go to your resting place the same time every year
It’s the anniversary of the day, I realized my worse fear
And it’s hard for me to do this, cause I know what you went through
But, I'm sure that you're an Angel, so I named this day for you

Chorus
Angel Day, (Angel Day) a day you didn't chose
But your life was taken part of me left here with you
So until I get to Heaven, and see your smiling face
I'll send balloons to you, on Angel Day

Modulate:
Angel Day (Angel Day) (Sometimes, I think I can't go on)
Angel Day (Angel Day) (It’s like I'm left here all alone)
So, until I get to Heaven, and see your smiling face
I'll send balloons to you, on Angel Day

Angel Day, Angel Day, Angel Day
Angel Day, Angel Day, Angel Day, .... Angel Day

A Better Tomorrow

I have always heard that life isn't fair
And the injustice in this world is everywhere
Life sure threw me some curves
But now I know there’s a better tomorrow

Like when the clouds open, up on a darken day
The sunlight appears and brightens my way
I know you're smiling down
And wishing me a better tomorrow

Chorus
Every flower that blooms reminds me of you
I think of the wonderful times we shared
When the robins are singing a joyful melody
I hear your sweet voice calling me

Sometimes the phone rings and I'm lonely and blue
Or a friend drops by when my heart is breaking into
I know that you sent help to me
for a better tomorrow

Lead

Chorus
Each time I see a rainbow on a cloudy day
Each time a butterfly passes my way
Even if you just flew by to throw me a kiss
It helps me along, it’s enough to keep me strong

I know Heaven’s just a blink away
And I'm ready but until that day
I'll make you proud by helping others
Find a better tomorrow

I wouldn't trade having you here, in spite of the loss
The love that we shared was worth all it cost
And thoughts of you bring me happiness
For a better tomorrow

Chorus
Every flower that blooms reminds me of you
I think of the wonderful times we shared
When the robins are singing a joyful melody
I hear your sweet voice calling me

I wouldn't trade having you here, in spite of the loss
The love that we shared was worth all it cost
And thoughts of you bring me happiness
For a better tomorrow
A better tomorrow

I Don't Need You

I got a promotion at work today. I don't need you
Everything’s going my way. I don't need you.
Now, there’s a family down the street, who ain't got enough to eat.
And their kids could use new shoes on their feet,
But, I don't need you.

My kids are away at college
My parents are doing well.
I married my high school sweetheart, she’s a real southern bell
I went to church just yesterday, I listened to what the preacher had to say
I even bowed my head when they prayed
But, I don't need you.

Chorus
I've done it all by myself without help from no one else.
You know I ought to write a book about how easy it is,
and call it, “I don't Need You.”

Lead

I got laid off at work today. The boss said, “I don't need you.”
My wife has run away.
The note read, “I don't need you.
My kids left college today, the tuition was more than I could pay
And my mom just passed away. Lord, I need you,

I went to church again today
This time I listened to what the preacher had to say.
And, I wept as I knelt down to pray. Lord, I need you
I must have been such a fool to think anything happens without you.
And I'm ready to be the man you want me too. Lord, I need you

Grand Reunion Day

Oh, how I want to see my family, on the grand reunion day
They left this world too soon, I guess their work was done
But there’s so many things, I never got to say

Chorus
Grand reunion day, grand reunion day
All our troubles have gone away
We waited patiently to be reunited with our family
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day

I want to see my sister, my daughter, my son, my brother
my husband, wife, my father, my mother
All the ones who left this world and went on their way
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day.

Chorus
Grand reunion day, grand reunion day
All our troubles have gone away
We waited patiently to be reunited with our family
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day

Modulate

Want to see my neighbors, once again
Even my in-laws will be my friends
And all the childhood kids that moved far away
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day

I want to see my grandpa, and grandma, my aunt and my uncle
my cousins, nieces, granddaughter, and grandson.
It’s all part of God’s plan not for me to understand
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day.

Chorus
Grand reunion day, grand reunion day
All our troubles have gone away
We waited patiently to be reunited with our family
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day

There will be hugs, kisses and tears of joy
All the things we never understood will be clear
When we all meet in Heaven, and walk the streets of gold
A grand reunion day will unfold

Modulate

It will be like old times, but with no pain or fear
All the ones we loved and lost, they'll all be here
Then we'll walk through Heaven’s Gates singing all the way
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day.

Chorus
Grand reunion day, grand reunion day
All our troubles have gone away
We waited patiently to be reunited with our family
It’s gonna be a grand reunion day
