1. Surrender Every now and then it gets too much, everything I do just loses touch, surrender. Beads of sweat in a midnight bed, all the things I should have said, surrender. Surrender, uh huh Download
2. Man In The Moon Listen to the man in the moon, And don't let his shadow cross your heart. Your ears may betray what your heart may say, So listen to the man in the moon. Lisa DeGrace is on vocals. Download
3. Savior Of The World Little drifting waif with saliva down your chin, how can you sleep on a train like this? Light strikes your globe like my last ray of hope. Download
4. Shine Well it was such a long time ago, but it seems like yesterday. Now you lay that time on my mind again. DyAnne Greentree-Wood on vocals. For Scott. Download
5. Shalala Something special deep inside, little angel so divine, something sacred shine your light, warm and willing tender fire, Shalala. Full and eager something true. Download
6. Drive Saying goodbye, saying farewell, maybe I'll you again sometime. Keep me in your heart, keep me in your arms, keep me in your memory sometime. Download
7. One By One One by one, coins in my tin now. On the run, atone for my sins now. Download
8. Sweet Angels Dear brother why're you so solemn? Why's your song slung so low? There's a diamond in your darkness, a bitter truth that won't let go. Download
9. Sacred Call Instrumental. Download
1. Paradise Lately I've been seeing things a little clearer, moving along one step at a time. But I find the things that I hold dear all slip away and it makes me cry.
2. Sweet Angels You're loved beyond all reason, its fruit waxes on your vine. No blood on the cross is forsaken, sweet angels kiss you tonight.
3. Satisfaction When I'm drivin' in my car and that man comes on the radio. He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information, supposed to fire my imagination. I can't get no satisfaction. Jagger / Richards **
4. Standing Still Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights. Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the twilight. There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my right. You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight. Jewel **
5. Two More Bottles Of Wine We came out west together with a common desire. The fever we had migtha set the west coast on fire. Two months later got trouble in mind, my baby moved out and left me behind. Harris **
1. Hey Yea I've got a song in my heart, I'm gonna sing it baby right from the start, hey yea. I've got a note on my tongue, its high and alive and the fireworks just begun, hey yea. Say hey - yay yea!
2. Heavy This cage that holds you, designed by your needing to be accepted, welcomes such abuse. I've got a secret, an axiom worth knowing, as people will worship the sacred chosen few.
3. Freedom And Mercy Freedom and mercy, freedom and mercy. Kiss your joy, kiss your sorrow, with freedom and mercy.
4. I Can't Sing You I want to sing your light, but my voices tell me no. Yours is a brilliant high, but my exquisite fall so low. I can't sing you!
5. Suntown/Out On A Limb You can step high in this town, kiss the sky with a crackling sound. You can be what you want to be. Come make your place here, come live in grace here, you have nothing to fear so make your place here, in Suntown.
6. Give I can give you sunsets and blazing skies, reaching for heaven in the midnight air. I would cross the mountains, set your heart afire, you're in my fantasies, you're in my prayers.
Freedom and Mercy is a rock opera once performed live in public, and is at present a work in progress. It sparks of love, liberty and transformation; it speaks to the yearnings we all heve to seek a higher place, to be loved and to be our truest selves. Ricky is the freedom-loving hero, the Rev. Dr. Gaylord is the embodiment of ego and hypocrasy, and Helen is the love of them both who seeks her own voice in a world of change. Find out more at freedomandmercy.com
