"Keep Them Close"
Written By: James McCrossin

I'm tired of dying,
I just want to live.
Forget the damn money,
that's not what it is.
Fear of a scapegoat,
A life of sin.
Turn off my brain now
And let it be within!
You know yourself,
Nobody knows better.
No ryhme or reason,
Where do I begin?
Thank you for forgiveness,
As I lead a life of sin.
No matter what I do,
I will never give in!
Take what's yours, let no one stand in your way. Don't forget where you come from, let them all in! Forgiveness is fruitful and life is a sin. None of us are perfect but you may still come in. My enemies are closer, so you may come to me again!

"Inner Demons"
"Inner Demons"

Stood in the crowd,
Glancing up in
Never rejoicing or applauding,
Just watching you win.
(I would go to concerts and listen to bands play, I felt out of place and never mixed myself with the crowd. People jumping up and down shouting and applauding. I sat by just watching.)
You'd remember my face,
If you took a long look.
Enlightening eyes, it is within
I don't want to lie...
Don't want to hide....
(I always had eye contact with members of the bands and for an instance they would peer back at me. I could see something in their eyes that I see in myself. An enlightenement look and feel, almost as if they werent really there. What does this mean?)
Lord help me learn
Learn if it's right.
Can I have it.....
And still be in your eyes?
I know now his power
Can I do what I love,
Without the fear of my soul being devoured!?
(Is that enlightenement that I saw, the face of the dead or is it truth?)(Scary because I have seen it in myself....)
This is what I know!
How I feel....
I won't be controlled!
He tries to trip and stumble
We all fall...
Only some will rise above it all.
Watch your steps,
Don't take the bet,
His power is an inner net!
He accepts the reason,
Some won't understand at all,
She's tossed away for treason,
This is your call!
Take me!.....void me for all.
Test me!......I have my flaws.
At least I correct myself when I am wrong!
Ten commandment are my laws.
Don't underestimate him,
He will make you fall
But the righteous!!.....
Will rise above it all.
You point your finger!
Because you are not...
Watch my anger!....
Turn White Hot!!.....
We think we have the answers.....
But you do not know.....
There's no particular reason......
And He will not show!

"Lord Rescue Me"
"Lord Rescue Me"
Written By: James McCrossin
Date: 05/19/2012
Verse 1:
Shouting words across the sea,
A burning fire inside of me.
God help us, we need to believe,
Love and hate brews it's tea.
(Chorus 1x:)
Lord Rescue me...
Redeem my soul, I wish not to deceive.
The weathers getting too ugly,
Waves are crashing,
Were too blind to see,
That the world is not....What it used to be...
Verse 2:
Finding our way through the trees,
Like a needle lost in uncertainty.
What should we believe,
Show us love and sweet mercy.
(Chorus 2x:)
Lord Rescue me...
Redeem my soul, I wish not to deceive.
The weathers getting too ugly,
Waves are crashing,
Were too blind to see,
That the world is not....What it used to be...
Verse 3:
We travel the world endlessly,
Tired and broken, hard to perceive.
Is there something wrong with me,
I'm so tired, I cannot breathe...
(Chorus 2x:)
Lord Rescue me...
Redeem my soul, I wish not to deceive.
The weathers getting too ugly,
Waves are crashing,
Were too blind to see,
That the world is not....What it used to be...
(Bridge:) Musical notation or riff)
(Ending:)
Lord Rescue me...
Redeem my soul, I wish not to deceive.
The weathers getting too ugly,
Waves are crashing,
Were too blind to see,
Lord, show us love and sweet mercy......
Blessed be the Lord....This is for you!

"We Could Have It All"
"We Could Have It All"

We want to have it all.
Too wrapped up in our own four walls.
But I will tear them down,
Do my part to change it all.
Remember just where it starts.
I won't give up,
I'll take the fall.
Gold is not what makes your call....
I want to help you all....
Thank God for his law.
If we all could see,
What changes the world,
We would not see famine or war.
Thank you for the gift to breathe.
We fail to live by our means.
People live by the streets,
So why fill your hearts with greed.
Lets build a Kingdom,
One big tree.
Gather and you will see.
Pour out your soul and together we'll be,
A part of a greater thing.....than you or me.
Love could change the world.
Put your hands together,
Every boy and girl.
God will set you free...
If I ever have the chance to be,
I'll never live beyond my means.
There all considered mere luxuries.
Let's give back to the world we need.
I don't know what else to say.
May I pass if God lets it be.
It starts at home with you and me.
Praise the Lord! (I was inspired by a man with a heart of Gold, John Lennon.)

"I Love You Baby"
"I Love You Baby"
Written By: James McCrossin
Date: 05/18/2012
Verse 1:
Something stopped me that day,
For reasons I cannot explain.
I admit things went too far,
But you were always in my heart.
Chorus 1:
I love you baby.
I'll be here always.
There's a lesson to be learned,
That love cannot be turned.
Verse 2:
I sing this song from beyond the dead.
Bedridden and sick, I take care of head.
Stop putting words into my mouth.
Be quick to think, slow to speak out loud,
And do not shout.
Chorus 2:
I love you baby.
I'll be here always.
There's a lesson to be learned,
That love cannot be turned.
I love you baby.....
Verse 3:
I wanted to stay,
Thought everything would be okay.
I pleaded with you,
But there's nothing else I could do.
Verse 4:
I packed my things and went on my way,
Chains bound my chest, I could barely breathe.
The world crashed down all around me,
And....
Chorus 3:
I still love you baby.
I'll be here always.
There's a lesson to be learned,
Thanks for teaching me.
Bridge:(musical notation)
Chorus(1x):
I still love you baby.
I'll be here always.
There's a lesson to be learned,
That love cannot be turned.
I said baby.....
I'll be here always,
I love you.......(fades away)
