WHO IS GONNA SAVE US NOW? By Mychael John Thomas Keep runnin’ like an old Swiss clock Living in a land that time forgot Then tell yourself anything you need to hear Like Jericho the walls came down While the unprepared were just standin’ ‘round Look closer and you might just see it clear CHORUS ‘Cause there ain’t no way to make it out alive Till we rule the day and try to help the good survive If we kill all hope till we’re lost somehow We’ll all be wailing who is gonna save us now? Don’t play smart while you’re actin’ dumb Or someone’s gonna blow us all to Kingdom come ‘Cause pure evil will never negotiate Take no prisoners drop all the bombs Everybody dies while they’re greasin’ palms But I’m still loving and hoping we can give up hate CHORUS ‘Cause there ain’t no way to make it out alive (Keep tellin’ me) Till we rule the day and try to help the good survive (See the best in me) If we kill all hope till we’re lost somehow We’ll all be wailing who is gonna save us now? BRIDGE Keep on livin’ We got no choice… The end has not yet happened Conversation can raise your voice to a place not yet imagined Find your courage ‘cause God ain’t dead He’s just having trouble breathing Controversy pollutes my head But peace will come from within (Acoustic Guitar Breakdown) Recitation: I don’t wanna live in fear… I don’t wanna die in a nuclear war… I want a hope for the future… For my family…For us all Who is gonna save us now? God save us…God save us all… Lord have mercy…Lord have mercy Keep runnin’ like an old Swiss clock Living in a land that time forgot Then tell yourself anything you need to hear CHORUS ‘Cause there ain’t no way to make it out alive (Keep tellin’ me) Till we rule the day and try to help the good survive (Don’t keep sellin’ me) If we kill all hope till we’re lost somehow We’ll all be wailing who is gonna save us now? TAG If we kill all hope till we’re lost somehow We’ll all be wailing who is gonna save us now? ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Headless Chickens 03:22

HEADLESS CHICKENS By Mychael John Thomas CHORUS Chicken little had a warnin’ …Nero had a fiddle bowin’ While the flames were burnin’ all around Now everybody’s screamin’ ‘bout everybody schemin’ And I think the sky is fallin’ down Watch out! Every friend you meet Anyone could be your enemy Slide by your side…Hide that knife Smile in your face and take a slice I don’t agree with you that makes you evil… Anything to bring social upheaval Raise your voice be it right or wrong Say anything just to prolong this Madness…It’s saddness Everybody steal what they can’t posess No silence…Just violence… These crazy times don’t make no sence CHORUS Just rap on…Strap on your holster Hate that girl till you want to ghost her Get a 45 - a glock - 9 mil How many bullets till you get your fill? Angry! No peace inside! Lookin’ for a target when you ride No rhyme no reason to your way Just wanna make somebody pay Ain’t no love in the Promise Land Everybody comin’ with an open hand Take everything that fills the eye Chemical love that gets you high CHORUS Fear, Intimidation… In the name of GOD guilt manipulation Control the mind…Spin that lie To the uninformed who never ask WHY? Somethin’ gotta change…Can’t go on Dying in the dark and live for dawn Just coping and hoping We don’t fall apart while we’re just floating Everybody talkin’ ‘bout revolution Only GOD has your final solution Fill your heart with peace and love Like ‘69 I can’t give up CHORUS ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

FOR ALL THE BROKEN HEARTED By Mychael John Thomas Of all the raw emotions I’ve allowed…Somehow I’ve never had a purer one than now…To come out I’m feeling the pain…Oh but the tears won’t come Can’t handle the strain…All my defenses are undone I never thought that you and I would end…Then again I felt that all my love for you had died…But I lied To myself all along pretended I was okay With you moving on…And then I thought of you today CHORUS So I’m writing a song For all the broken hearted who have lost someone ‘Cause you know what it’s like To find a new love only to find them gone And your life will never be the same From the moment that you parted So this one goes out for all of the broken hearted I’ve always seen myself as strong enough…What may come But now I’m learning how to give my all…And tears fall Till they’re cleansing my soul down to my deepest hurt I’m letting you go…Bringing the healing I deserve CHORUS And I’m writing this song For all the broken hearted who have lost someone ‘Cause you know what it’s like To find a new love only to find them gone Still the end was sealed in fate From the moment that you started So this one goes out for all of the broken hearted But I would rather know the pain Than to live completely guarded So this one goes out for all of the broken hearted…(tag) ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

You Can Bet Your Life 04:38

YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE By Mychael John Thomas I always thought that I would feel Just the way I’m feeling now When true love is in the picture And I don’t wanna sound cliché When I say that this is new Something altogether different You know me I got to express myself But this is just for you…Baby ain’t nobody else CHORUS And it’s not just another love song I will sing beneath the stars…I’m loving who you are Not just another love song Can’t you see it my eyes?…You can bet your life Now both of us have had some hurts Don’t you think it’s time to heal With a life that goes the distance And Heaven meant that we should meet So we can see the truth of it And the gift that we’ve been given My heart’s so full that I can’t hold it in ‘Cause when I’m close to you there’s a melody within CHORUS BRIDGE So many people never have this joy I’m just so happy that we found it In golden years beyond a girl and boy To know it now is just astounding SOLO I’m always going to be loving you Believe me when I sing every word of it is true CHORUS And it’s not just another love song It’s a statement of my faith…We can take it all the way Not just another love song We can finally get it right…You can bet your life CHORUS (Not just another love song) It’s a statement of my faith…We can take it all the way Not just another love song We can finally get it right…You can bet your life (Not just another love song) You can bet your life (Not just another love song) I always thought that I would feel Just the way I’m feeling now When true love is in the picture ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Truth 04:57

TRUTH By Mychael John Thomas CHORUS Feel the passion…All out assault on your heart No denying you pass through the flame It doesn’t matter who you are A thought or an action…A fatal attration And you could go down in a blaze That’s when you gotta pray…Pray Don’t think you’re gonna be different ‘Cause everybody’s in the same boat We sink or swim on the wave of a whim Depending on the way you go See the good…Inside you know you should See the bad…Sometime we’ve all been had Every temptation is one more chance to get it right We gotta try CHORUS Take every moment you’re granted Receive it as a blessing from GOD It just makes sense no coincidence On the spirit journey we trod See the choice…And hear the inner voice Be the wise…And cut it down to size Every resistence is one step closer to the light We’re gonna fly SOLO BRIDGE Humanity hangs in the balance of a battle for control of our lives Are you up for the challenge…When only the strong survive Will you let the powers of evil seduce you and make you a fool? Shine you’re light on the darkness…See the truth…Only truth CHORUS CHORUS ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Love Harder 04:36

LOVE HARDER By Mychael John Thomas Feeling the resistance opposing the light Evil overcomes if we don’t put up a fight Do you wanna keep wandering in the dark? Our hatred has no reason …The damage is done Looking for an answer that can lead us home It’s hard to forgive when there’s no penitent heart CHORUS But we just can’t overcome hate with hate Facing tough decisions with every day There’s only one thing that’s Gonna be a healing starter…Love harder Apathy the enemy consuming our minds Blocking possibilities of all we could find Freedom of ideas is going under the knife We’re dying on the table…About to bleed out Overcome with sickness of suspicion and doubt Gonna take a shock to bring us all back to life CHORUS BRIDGE Love’s the great power in the universe Overcoming when you think it can’t get no worse Hold on through the night…Embracing survival We’re living in the dawn of a new revival SOLO Listen to your spirit when you’re feeling faint Find the strength of Heaven…You can live like a saint Don’t go quietly into that fiery lake CHORUS ©2017 Mychael John Thomas,BMI

TAKE YOUR PROMISE WITH YOU By Mychael John Thomas I remember when I used to believe In every word that you said to me High and mighty when the words rolled off your tongue Call me gullible…Call me a fool For every time I ever listened to you Chalk it up to the cost of being young Well I’ve been enlightened and now I want you to know Your time is over and you got to hit the road…And… CHORUS Take your promise with you (Take your promise with you) Take your promise with you when you go We were innocent with pure ideals So you came with a line and a plan to steal Every heart too naive to see your game We believed we could change the world When people like you made very sure Every lie and the truth would sound the same Well now we’re older and we’re wiser for the wear So we reject you…You better hear us loud and clear…And… CHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE Out with the old and in with the new Some things never change Victims of your corrupted view Time to break the chain!!

ENCORE By Mychael John Thomas You hit the stage like a human fireball And light a flame in every heart You are the tears and the joy and the laughter Singing the faith life ain’t so hard All the voices crying out as one Sweet Jesus ‘bout to carry me home CHORUS (Hey…Whatcha you gonna do for an encore man) Ain’t holdin’ nothing’ back (Hey…Whatcha you gonna do for an encore man) It don’t get better than that You got a gift of word and a melody Meeting the needs of tortured souls You share the way of a hope and a future Bringing the truth not many know Then a unity falls in place It puts a smile on every face CHORUS BRIDGE Twenty-four seven…Dusk till dawn Everybody knows the show must go on Don’t fight the feelin’ you just can’t stop Climbin’ that ladder…Gonna make it to the top SOLO All the voices crying out as one Sweet Jesus ‘bout to carry me home CHORUS (Hey…Heaven wants to hear you do an encore man) I hear the callin’ back/Ain't holdin' nothin' back (Hey…Heaven wants to hear you do an encore man) It don’t get better than that (repeat) ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

ETERNAL MIND By Mychael John Thomas I’m always on the move like A D H D I got this busy brain keep (talkin’ back to me) Never stop don’t ever slow down Waitin’ on the next new rhyme comin’ ‘round Talkin’ life love religion and politics Throw it up against the wall jus’ to see what sticks I know people wanna fight about the craziest things I ain’t got no disagreement I only wanna sing CHORUS Walkin’ to the light of day in the bright sunshine Tryin’ just to make my way through the eternal mind I’m barely through one song till I get another So here’s a hip rock jam (from your white soul brother) And I’m feelin’ real funky with a freaky bass Got a new thang comin’ from a different place You can read my lines any way that you like I don’t apologize for what just seems right I only know I got to move to what I feel inside Gotta hold on tight ‘cause I’m takin’ a ride CHORUS Holding onto dreams…Avoiding perils of my time Floating on a sea of joy in the eternal mind BRIDGE Now bring it heavy (That‘s right)…Like a wall of sound With that big metal groove ‘Cause I’m layin’ it down (repeat) SOLO So I’m thinkin’ I should write some kinda epilogue Should it all make sense? (Don’t you know it Dog) If it’s black or it’s white (If it’s purple or green) Everybody got opinions (Do you know what I mean?) If it’s good or it’s bad just (Don’t be hatin’) When we all hang together (It’s a congregation) So we sing (ooh) bling (ooh) makin’ a statement Be part of the healing when you (Join the excitement) (When you join the excitement) CHORUS Living in a search for truth that we all hope to find Serve the One whose love enlightens the eternal mind Holding onto dreams…Avoiding perils of my time Floating on a sea of joy in the eternal mind Walkin’ to the light of day in the bright sunshine Tryin’ just to make my way through the eternal mind BRIDGE Now bring it heavy (That‘s right)…Like a wall of sound With that big metal groove ‘Cause I’m layin’ it down (repeat) ©2017 Mychael John Thomas, BMI
