END OF THE LINE
I was headed home – On a train downtown
Just across the tracks – You rode the nine uptown
I don’t know you – But I could see
This ride can be just as lonely for you
As it is for me, that’s why
Ever since that day I take the number nine
At that very station at that very time
Hoping that I’ll see you, maybe you’ll see me
Hoping maybe, hoping
CHORUS
Maybe someday
At the end of the line
You could share your secret smile
Laugh a little while
Leave this lonely world behind
Maybe someday
At the end of the line
You could share all of your dreams
I’ll share my crazy schemes
Find what we’ve been missing
And ride it to the end of the line
Day after day
We’re all on that train
Slaving away, and working to pay
A debt we never made
But maybe there’s some place
Where no one rides alone
If we make a connection
I don’t need perfection,
Just baby someone to hold, hold, hold
And that’s why
Ever since that day I take the number nine
At that very station at that very time
Hoping that I’ll see you, maybe you’ll see me
Hoping maybe, hoping
CHORUS
Love is running late and you say you can’t find it
Lonely hearted riders need to be reminded
Love ain’t on a schedule no, but have some faith
Cause maybe it’s on the next train
Maybe some day at the end of the line
Maybe some day at the end of the line
Is this seat taken – Cause my heart is aching
Get on board this train is leaving the station
I know someday at the end of the line
Oh at the end of the line (repeat)

SUBVERSIVE SOUL
From the day I was born
From the moment I took my first breath
There was something I felt in the air
Oh, something my soul could not accept
I could not accept the reasons
I could not accept their rules
My soul rejected things I learned in church
My soul rejected things I learned in school
CHORUS
I got a, A subversive soul
Yeah a tortured heart that I can’t control
And I’m fighting a darkness that I can’t let go
Fighting for something I can call my own
I was born into freedom
But it’s a freedom that you have to steal
You can talk about freedom
But freedoms something that you have to feel
Think you’re leaving in freedom
Maybe you should ask yourself this
Am I living the life that I want
Or am I living someone else’s wish
CHORUS
A Subversive soul – Sub, sub subversive soul (repeat)
Fighting for something, something I could, something I could, something I could, something I could, call me own (repeat)

BLAME IT ON LOVE
Once the secrets of this world
Have all been uncovered
Once all the mysteries of science
Have all been discovered
We’ll still be at a loss
Loss to explain
Why a woman love’s a man
And a man, and a man, loves a woman
CHORUS
No you can’t blame Newton – for falling in love
Oh, you can’t blame Pythagoras – if it don’t add up
And you can’t blame Einstein- if your universe ain’t right
Blame it all on me – blame it all on love
Though the human genome
Is all figured out
I know the human heart
Will always be in doubt
Though your DNA
Explains your life away
But what it can’t explain
Why you feel, why you feel
Why you feel this way
CHORUS
You can think it over honey, but I think you know the answer
You can over think it till your just another lonely dancer
Waitin’ for Romeo, waitin’ for Juliet they dance alone
Waiting and waiting, they miss the last song
We’ll still be at a loss – Loss to explain
Why a woman love’s a man
And a man, and a man, loves a woman
CHORUS
You can blame it all on me
Don’t tell me what you thinkin’ no
Don’t tell me what you thinkin’ no
Now show me what you feel
Yeah, show me what you feel
Tonight, show me this is real
Yeah, show me this is real

SINS OF THE FATHER
You have wounds – you try to conceal
They run so deep – they may never heal
But your eyes – reveal all the pain
That I hear in your voice
When you call my name
CHORUS
Cause the sins of the father
Are the sins of the son
That we’re bound to repeat
And we’re bound to pass on
And the sins of the mother
Will stay in your soul
They’ll stay in your heart
‘Til the day you grow old
Unless you break this chain (2x)
Each generation – reflects the past
But you’re still shackled – to the shadow it cast
But these chains – are not your own
You have carried this weight – for way too long
CHORUS
You’ve a child – of your own
You have sins – that you don’t want to pass on
And there’s forgiveness – in this child’s eyes
For your father and your mother
And every time you crossed the line
Cause the sins of the father
Are redeemed by the son
Who can rise from the ashes
And the damage done
And the sins of the mother
Are all washed away
Through the tears of forgiveness
When you hear her say
Son we need to break this chain – Break this chain
Yeah we need to break this chain – Break this chain
Come on embrace this change – Break this chain
We need to break this chain – Break this chain
Come on and break this chain (repeat)

Three days – Since I been home
Three days I been on the road
Three days I crawled inside my soul

Three nights I been feeling this pain
Three nights – Since you been gone

COUNTERFEIT LOVE
You can see something once
Maybe a thousand times
Day after day
And not see the disguise
Miss the imperfections
Right before your eyes
Miss the deceptions
Miss all the lies, Oh…
CHORUS
Your love’s a counterfeit love
Ain’t nothing ‘bout it that’s real
Cause when I gave myself to you
Yeah, you played me like a fool
There ain’t nothing ‘bout your love that’s true
Your love’s a counterfeit love
Ain’t nothing ‘bout it
Ain’t nothing ‘bout it, that’s real, that’s real
It’s getting harder
To tell the true from the fake
Seems like the real thing
Is the one we forsake
We buy the illusion
We all want to believe
We’re all so guarded
Yet so easily deceived
CHORUS
Ain’t nothing clever ‘bout
Playing with someone’s trust
Playing with someone’s heart
Betraying someone’s love
CHORUS

JUST YOU WAIT
I was standing in the market
I was standing in a line
When I heard the tiny voice yeah
Of a little baby cryin’
He cried momma I want, momma I need,
Momma won’t you buy these things for me
And she said
CHORUS
Don’t worry about what you don’t got
Don’t you worry ‘bout what you don’t need
In the end my / God’s love will provide
Just you wait, just you wait and see
I was walking by the old church
On a brilliant summer day
When I head the congregation
Get down on their knees and pray
They prayed father we want, father we need
Father won’t you bring these things to me
And preacher said
CHORUS
You can spend all your days – waitin’ on a dream
But you might miss the one – blowing in the breeze
I was walking past the merchants
In the market by the sea
When my baby she went crazy
Wanting everything from me
She cried
Honey I want, honey I need
Honey won’t you buy these things for me,
And I said
CHORUS
Oh don’t you worry – Oh, just you wait – My love will provide – Just you wait – Oh, just you wait – No don’t you worry now – Nah, nah nah nah – Oh, just you wait – My love will provide

A WOMAN’S GOT A SONG
All men are dogs
And all dogs are prose
Every woman is a cat
And all cats they are poems
And a man wants for nothing
But a beer in his bowl
What a woman really wants
She’s got hidden in her soul
CHORUS
Cause a woman’s got a song
That you’ll never hear her sing
Though the words are unspoken
And your heart may be broken
You’ll never understand
Though the words are unspoken
And your heart may be broken
You’ll never understand
If a man says something in a forest alone
There’s no woman to hear, is he still wrong?
Is he wrong for trying, to understand her?
Yes, he’s guilty of trying, to understand love
CHORUS
And she whispers the song in his ear – While he sleeps
Only the souls of the dead will know – The secrets that it keeps
CHORUS
Cause this melody is torn
The moment any woman’s born
From the heart of every man

IF I SHOULD FALL
First man down in Iraq
First man who’s never comin’ back
He was born in Guatemala
Born and died in that third world squalor
As Jose Gutierrez lie dying on the ground
His band of brothers prayed as they gathered round
Through the madness you could hear the cries
Of a soul fighting to survive
CHORUS
If I should fall – Far from where I was born
Don’t let my soul – Lose its way back home
If I should fall – Far from where I was born
Don’t let me take – Oh, that long
Oh, that long, long, long
Walk alone
He was orphaned as a child
He walked alone and rode trains thousands of miles
From the moonlit boxcar he could see
The land they say you go to find your dreams
As he jumped into the desert night
Saw a dead horse lying in the moonlight
In the distance as he hit the ground
Heard a coyote begin to howl
CHORUS
He was buried in Guatemala
Buried with full military honors
After he died they made him American
Does God care if you’re a citizen?
CHORUS

INTIMATE
It’s a hard life, babe
It’s a hard world too
We all need protection babe
Protect me and I’ll protect you
Careful babe, who you trust
Oh be careful babe, with your love
Hide what you hold sacred dear
But make sure that you don’t forget
Remember where you hid your love
Girl, remember how to get
CHORUS
I want to get intimate
Want to get, want to get, want to get
Intimate, I want to get with you
Intimate
Want to get, want to get, want to get
Intimate, want to get with you
Seen the faces, babe
People scared to live
Locked their love so far away – So far away
They forgot, how to give
Scared to feel
Scared to touch
What they’re trying to protect – They don’t see
They already lost
CHORUS

YOU AND I
You and I – Come from the same place
I can tell – That you’re hiding an ace
No one else can see – What you revealed to me
Or what I revealed to you – When you said baby hold me
You and I – Are running like two thieves
Who plotted petty theft – Oh, but stole the sacred key
You and I – are in over our heads
There ain’t no turnin’ back – no, this hunger must be fed
You and I – are wanted by the law
But all we ever wanted – was to break each other’s fall
CHORUS
There ain’t no fear where love is found – Oh we were wanted
Just two brave souls running round – Yeah we were wanted
Fighting everything that they face – Oh we were wanted
Risking everything, for one more kiss
You and I – are hotter than a fire
We’re burning with the flames – of this naked raw desire
You and I – Tasted something real
Something that was raw – We both knew we wanted more
CHORUS
Now you – And I
Had a love – Can’t deny
Love so real – love so true
Gets in your blood – nothin’ you can do
Now you , you, you, you, you
You, you, you yeah you
You and I – Are running like two thieves
Who plotted petty theft – But stole the sacred key
You and I – are wanted by the law
But all we ever wanted – was to break each other’s fall

THIS TRAIN
It was on this train
Where I met my wife
You could say
It’s where I started my life
Where she first took my hand
We’d laugh an hour each way
I fell in love with a girl from Queens
On a subway train
CHORUS
On this train your heart is the engine that keeps these wheels rolling along
On this train your soul will guide you through these tunnels when you’re lost and alone
And this train it stops at the stations of redemption, hope, and mercy and love
When we’d ride into the city – Damn, you looked so pretty, as you’d wave goodbye
Born and raised in Queens
Born to limited means
Watching your parents struggle day after day
You learn to limit your dreams
But the limits of this world
They could not limit our love
Together we pushed back, and set out on the track
To find the dreams we had lost
CHORUS
Time goes by – People get on this train
Some people get off – No one rides to the end
There will come a day, when we all run out of time
Know that my love will never end, even when we kiss goodbye (repeat)
Take that to the end – Take that to the end of the line

ALMA SUBVERSIVA
Desde el día que yo nací
Desde el momento que yo respiré
habia algo que yo sentí
Algo que nunca acepté
No acepté la idea
No acepté la ilusión
Que dios está escondido
Dentro las reglas de las religión
Tengo un
CORO
Un alma subversiva
Salvaje, rebelde y herida
Que no se deja, deja controlar
Sigue peleando no se va entregar
Dicen que somos libres – Freedom
Que es la tierra de la libertad
Pero un hombre no es libre
Hasta el día que puede robar
Robarse un momento
Donde él se encuentra el autor
Donde el escribe la historia
De su alma y de su corazón
CORO
