1. Home is on the water by Mehuman copyright 2019
My home is on the water and not on dry land
My home is on the water and not on dry land
my God is good he got the world in His hand
My home is on the water and not up in the air
My home is on the water and not up in the air
my God is good, my God is everywhere
You lighten my load
it was you who lightened my load
heaven knows it was you and you lighten my load
you lighten my load
you set my spirit free
you drive away grief
heaven knows it was you and you lighten my load
you lighten my load
My home is on the water and not on dry land
My home is on the water and not on dry land
my God is good he got the world in His hand
Somebody tell me, answer if you can
somebody tell me what is the soul of a man
what is the soul of a man, what is the soul of a man
2. Ticket by Mehuman copyright 2015
I lost my left shoe on a railroad tracks
spent my whole life trying to get it back
oh I'm wondering when the trains gonna come?
I got a ticket with my name on it, and Im not gonna walk, im gonna run
i left my heart in a rusted can
up on a shelf with my old man
oh he hides it away, to go lookin for some fun
I got a ticket with my name on it, and Im not gonna walk, im gonna run
daddy i hear you in my dreams say" child, nothing is as it seems"
I raised you to be honored and loved by someone
nothings gonna change here, the damage is done
you better run, child you better run
when Im lonely, i head to the Son
he's the only place I can run
when I'm crushed let down and broken
and heart ache has won
I got a ticket with my name on it, and Im not gonna walk, im gonna run
3.Heavyweight by Mehuman copyright 2018
I’m a heavyweight I’m a contender
I’m a champion superhero defender
I don’ t want to fight tonight
I wanna make love
I’m an alchemist I’m a miracle maker
I’m a physicist I’m a vision incenter (the center of a triangle)
I don’t want to fight all my life
I wanna make love
Who's gonna catch you?
when you come down?
What’s gonna pick you?
up off the ground?
I’m a honcho Im a smooth operator
Im a teddy bear I'm a mood elevator
I don’t wan na to fight
I don’t want to fight all my life
I wanna make love
Who's gonna catch you?
when you come down?
What’s gonna pick you?
up off the ground?
What do you want?
What do you need?
What do you want from me?
All I got is love baby
Is love what you need?
Maybe we should know
When to let go, when to give in
Love not a game, to drive our hearts insane
We won’t loose, and we won’t win
(Smoking guitar solo by Kevin Billingslea)
What do you want?
What do you need?
What do you want from me?
All I got is love baby
Is love what you need?
I’m a heavyweight I’m a contender
I’m a champion superhero defender
I don’ t want to fight all my life
I wanna make love
4. winding road by Mehuman copyright 2018
You wanted to go on your own
They held under water to sink like a stone
Butcher floated, you floated
You claim that love is like a rock
if we pile it high, we'll make the water stop
this aching this pain that we're feeling
Take the winding road
anywhere you wanna to go
If its meant to be…..you will find…..you’ll find me
You believed that you once were a tree,
when you gave your shade and your shelter to me.
They cut you down. Why'd anybody want to cut you down?
They say nothing else matters
When a heart is torn and dreams are all shattered
but I say, “there's nothing more than love.”
Take the winding road,
Anywhere you wanna to go
if its meant to be
If its meant to be…..you will find…..find me.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You believed you once were a tree,
when you gave your shade and your shelter to me.
They cut you down. Why'd anybody want to cut you down?
Take the winding road
Anywhere you gotta go
If its meant to be
you will find…..
Take the winding road
anywhere you gotta go
if its meant to be
you will find…..you’ll find me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
5.Black and Blue by Mehuman Track 5 of Beautiful Ashes
Drownin’ in the belly of a three day hell
My man’s in the grave and I’m in jail
There’s some things no child should know
Like daddy in the dirt and momma on the row
Good God Almighty!
Daddy in the dirt and momma on the row
What in the world would a good God
What in the world would a good God do?
my man’s in black and I’m blue
I took a gun and put it to his head
if you gonna leave, rather see you dead
pulled the trigger and I heard it ring
sirens coming as angels sing
Good God Almighty!
Sirens coming as angels sing
What in the world would a good God,
What in the world would a good God,
What in the world would a good God, good God watcha gonna do?
My man’s in black and I’m blue
Oh love, love love ……love aint no damn good
oh this love love ain’t no damn good
Oh love, love love ……love aint no damn good
no good, no good, no good!
You broke my heart, like you broke a bone
living on a lie will break a home
I’m no judge, no jury no, no, no
There’s a wicked side to every soul
Heaven Help me!
There’s a wicked side to my soul
What in the world would a good God,
What in the world would a good God,
What in the world would a good God, good God watcha gonna do?
My man’s in black and I’m blue
Govnah, govnah, here my plea
Lord have mercy on me.
6. High-wire by Mehuman Ernst copyright 1998
A quiet man lives on the water
the sunset brings him down to his knees
all his hopes are rises with the moon
all his dreams are sinking into the sea.
If she didn’t want him she could want you
if she didn’t need him she could need you
if she didn’t love him she could love you
A hungry girl lives high up on a wire
she pirouettes in the air hanging from her teeth
all her hopes are rising with the crowd
all her dreams are tumbling down to the ground
If he didn’t want him he could want you
if he didn’t need him he could need you
if he didn’t love him he could love you
We could live high up on a hill
with we’ll all our misgivings
I will plant a garden and you can come inside
and kisses will ( ) in the pale moonlight.
And If you want to want, we can want
and If you need to need, we can need
If you love to love we can love
we can love
7. And so
And so life didn’t give me anything I thought it would
And so love didn’t give me everything thing I hoped it could
now I know, everything changes
Don’t crack a smile, talk out of turn
this is the last deal for the next thousand miles
Luck of the draw, toss of a coin, cast of a die
How will we survive?
Run to the sea run straight to me
if you’re feeling lonely tonight
Hurry don’t be late for the first and final date
I can’t wait for the rest of my life
Here’s an invitation babe
Come and dance with me tonight
What’s your hesitation babe
Cross that great divide
I got no reservation babe
I got nothing to hide
Here’s a little revelation, baby
Im gonna love you until the day I die
And so life didn’t give me anything I thought it would
And so love didn’t give me anything thing I hoped it could
now I know, everything, everything changes
so, just let your heart (3X)… gooooooo!
Just let your heart go
8. Tremble by Mehuman Ernst copyright 1998
I don’t know why it’s just so hard
to keep my feet on the ground
You're in my heart, You're on my mind
Your love makes me happy, I’m lost up in a cloud
I would not trade one single day
not one single moment, I have spent with you
What would I do? Where would I go? Who would I tell?
if I should ever loose your love
I would just linger like perfumed air waiting for you
I would not trade one single day
not one single moment, I have spent with you
la da da di da, la da da di da
I don’t know why its's just so hard
to keep my feet on the ground
You’re in my heart, you’re on my mind
Your love makes me happy, so happy
I’m lost, I’m lost up in the clouds
never let your feet touch the ground
never let your heart come down
I would not trade one single day
not one single moment..... not one single moment.....
I have spent with you.
la da da di da, la da da di da,la da da di da, la da da di da
Oh, your love makes me tremble, ooooo
Oh, you love makes me tremble
9. China Will Jump (Something’s Missing)
I’m wondering why, I’m wondering how
you and I, will get past these clouds
Don’t know what to say
to make them go away
I’m praying for rain to wash us away
to a lovely place where we will be safe
is that enough for you? What else can I do?
Now China will jump and Paris will burn
and London will sell it in the papers
everytime I hear your name
I know there something I’m missing
oh there something, something I’m missing
I wander around, I stumbled, fell down
looking for your love in the “lost and found”
but you gave all away, so you say
now I’m holding my breath, now I’m holding my head
trying to recall the last thing you said
Why’d you have to leave that way?
Now China will jump and Paris will burn
and London will sell it in the papers
everytime I hear your name
I know there something I’m missing
oh there something, something I’m missing
I tore down the fences, I dropped my resistance
just to let you through but that’s not enough for you
so I opened up my mind, I opened up my heart
trying to love you, I’m to love you
I'm wondering why, wondering how
you and I, will get past these clouds
don’t wanna let you go, oh don’t go (2x)
10. This side of Heaven by Mehuman Ernst copyright 2019
Here we are, fallen stars
Here we come, one my one
On this side of heaven, angel don’t fly
They watch from the backstreets
waiting for one of us to die
and then they step in, wanting to see
step in, longing to be
one...one of the living
On this side of Heaven
heartache all fades
cleansed by the memories
of better days
and then they step in, wanting to see
step in, longing to be
one...one of the living
In the sweet by and by
we will meet on a beautiful shore
On this side of Heaven
tears flow like wine
from my lover’s eyes
Longing to be drunk dry
and then they step in, wanting to see
step in, longing to be
one...one of the living
Here we are, fallen stars
Here we come, one my one
11. Beauty in the Ashes by Mehuman copyright 2018
This is the story of a prodigal girl
Who fell on her face for the things of the world
whoa whoa whoa whoa
This is a testimony of pain and shame
Living the life, and playing the games
whoa whoa whoa whoa………. God is good
There was beauty in the ashes when my life burned down
He picked/lifted me up set my feet on the ground
He gave me a new song of amazing grace
Now I can bear this heartache, every time I break
whoa whoa whoa whoa my God is good
BRIDGE:
So come you tired, and come you weary, come to the table of mercy
come you tired, come you weary, come to the table of mercy
Child this is the moment to turn your, turn your life around
lay down your burdens and the things weighing you down
Believe in his mercy trust in his grace
Jesus will save you with a just a seed of faith
There will be beauty in the ashes when your life burns down
He will pick you up set your feet on the ground
He’ll give you a new song of amazing grace
Now you can bear this heartache if you look to his face
whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
my God is good
12 . Only Angels by Mehuman Ernst copyright 2019
They say only angels can have wings
They say that the devil’s at the root of everything
They say that there’s no more freedom left to find
But I say that your love came down, your love came down just in time
if I ever let you down,
It’s only because I was so afraid of what I might find
No, I’ll never leave you, never leave you broken
Because the word that binds us, is the word of love
Spoken
The say that dreaming is for fools
They say that I need to learn the “Golden Rule”
They say that there no more freedom left of find
But I say that you love came down, you love came down just in time
They say that it’s time for me to go
They say there’s a trillion million things I’ll never really know
They say that there’s no more freedom, no freedom left to find
But I say that your love came down, your love came down just in time
if I ever let you down,
It’s only because I was so afraid of what I might find
No, I’ll never leave you, never leave you broken
Because the word that binds us, is the word of love
Spoken
They say only angels can have wings
They say that the devil’s at the root of everything
They say that there’s no more freedom left to find
But I say that your love came down, your love came down just in time
and i see your wings.
