It Gets Easier By Joel Glenn Wixson When anger and worry Won’t get off your back And don’t fail to remind you Of something you lack Don’t you know it gets easier Don’t you know it gets easier When all of your troubles Won’t get off you mind And your faith and your hope Is somewhere you can’t find Don’t you know it gets easier When fear of reprisal Gets stuck in your head And you just can’t get past All the things that you said Don’t you know it gets easier Don’t you know it gets easier (Bridge) ‘Cause there is a place for you Past all this pain Even though it don’t see it right now And you won’t believe it but You will get through this somehow When all of the voices You hear in your head Won’t forget for a second The words that she said Don’t you know it gets easier When all of your troubles Won’t get off you mind And its seems like your future Has left you behind Don’t you know it gets easier (Bridge) Cause there is a place Where you’re living you dream And I’m telling you Its not as far as it seems Cause you know It gets easier Yes I known It gets easier

New Thing 04:39

New Thing By Joel Glenn Wixson My whole life I have been waiting here for you I pinch myself To just make sure that this is true Is this a dream Or are you something that is real? Cause in this moment This is something I can feel Are you for real Or just a vision in my head Maybe a photograph Of something that I said If I wake up And this was all some kind of charm I’ll sped my whole life Trying to get back to your arms (Chorus) This is something That don’t happen every day That’s why I say You’re a new thing A me and you thing You’re a new thing A dream come true thing I am a hostage To the passion in your eyes To be in love like this Just took by surprise And though it feels so right The darkness speaks to me Or is it just my fear That you could set me free? (Chorus) (Break) My whole life I have been waiting here for you I have to pinch myself To make sure that it’s true If you’re a dream And you aren’t something that is real I’ll spend my whole life To get back to what I feel (Chorus)

Wonderful to Me You give me strength To face this day You give me words When I can’t think of what to say You give me hope That I’ll get by You help me carry on When I don’t want to try (Chorus) You give me Peace To sooth my Soul You give me patience When I want to lose control ‘Cause you all are Wonderful, wonderful Wonderful, wonderful Wonderful, wonderful Wonderful, wonderful To me You give me life You fill my heart You’re my direction When I don’t know where to start You are my guide You challenge me You make me face the things That I don’t want to see (Chorus) (Bridge) And I know you set me free To be the man I’m supposed to be And if we part I know, in spirit You are always here with me And in the end You stand by me You’ll be a beacon in the night That I can see

Touch Me Not 03:04

Touch Me Not by Joel Glenn Wixson Is there a flower more fragile than you? Just one touch and the moment is through Yet the beauty and fire within Draws me closer than I’ve ever been What is this foolish admirer to do? Touch me not don’t you see That you mean all of the world to me? Is there nothing that I can be To protect you and keep you from harm? I would keep all the wolves at bay And extol every word you say Just to love you and be near the warmth of your charm Touch me not you and I Could give something like love a try I am willing let you pass by And forgo even touching your skin I would love you from far away If it meant you would let me stay It would take just a moment to let it begin And the fear that ignites my desire can start to subside With the pain on your face that is stained by the tears you have cried And the joy you will feel once again As you start to let me in Will replace all worry and desperate plans you have tried Touch me not don’t you see It would mean everything to me If there was something that I could be To protect you and keep you from harm Though your fear makes you run away I will stand by you every day Just to know you and feel the caress of your charms Just to know you and feel the caress of your charms Just to hope that someday I’ll hold you in my arms

Me By Joel Glenn Wixson I love the way it feels When I run across the beach In my bear feet I hear the rhythm In the raindrops As they ripple through The puddles in the street I see the moonlight When it sparkles on the waves Before my eyes I taste the ocean And the heavens In my tears Every single time I cry And the reason why The little thing astound me Is a simple as a bird up in a tree (Chorus) Because I’m Me Because I’m Me Because I’m Me Because I’m Me I see the people As they walk From place to place Most every day I see the couples As they try to figure out Exactly what they think They’re supposed to say I see the lady Standing waiting At the bus stop Cause she thinks It’s going to rain I see a man Who’s drinking coffee While his children Drop their ice-cream cones Again (Bridge) And if anybody asks you Why you do the things you do You say, “The difference is just the proof That I am not the same as you.” And if anyone complains About the person that they see You just say, “I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be.” (Chorus)

Simply By Joel Glenn Wixson Do you believe me when I say I love you darling? Do you believe me when I say I really care? Do you believe me when I say I love you darling? I simply love you so Do you believe me when I say That when I met you That everything about my life Just turned around? And that the only thing I see when I am with you Is the sunshine coming from This love I found (Bridge) My oh my I am so grateful for The love that you gave me My oh my I simply love you so Do you believe me when I say I love you darling? Do you believe me when I say I really care? Do you believe me when I say I love you darling? I simply love you so (Bridge) I simply love you so

I’ll B Waiting 4 You by Joel Glenn Wixson I found you in a restaurant Tears were filling your eyes You said you’d had enough of him And the hurt the pain and the lies You said you needed time to heal So I swear that I will be true Until you give your heart to me I’ll be waiting for you (Chorus) Until all those clouds disappear I will be waiting for you Until you’ve cried all your tears I will be waiting for you It seems like it was just yesterday I saw you waiting alone And I decided right there and then That I would make you my own You said you needed some time to heal I swore that I would be true And till you give your heart to me I’ll be waiting for you

Be Who You Are 04:36

Be Who You Are by Joel Glenn Wixson When you’re feeling raw and naked in the cold And the war inside your head is just so old You gotta take somebody’s hand And let the rain just wash away The lies you’ve told Cause there is nothing you can do to stop the pain But if you ever want to see the sun again You have to let the river flow And let the water wash away What you can’t change (Chorus) Burn like a flame No one can tame Shine like a star Be who you are When you’re feeling raw and naked in the cold And the war inside your head is just so old You gotta take somebody’s hand And let the rain just wash away What you’ve been told Because the only thing that’s standing on your way Is the secrets that you keep inside that you don’t say But when you let somebody know You’ll see that nobody is perfect Anyway (Chorus) (Bridge) Because there’s nothing that you have to be Instead of who I see right here right now If you’re holding back the tears that you can’t cry And you’ve been doing it so long you can’t remember why Its time to let yourself move on And feel your spirit and your soul Begin to fly (Chorus)

I Don't Know 04:28

I Don't Know by Joel Glenn Wixson (Chorus) What was it like for Jesus Before he went away? What was it like for Jesus Try to teach them how to prey? What was it like for Jesus All he had to say? I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Was he scared or was he lonely? Was he loving, was he kind? Did it seem he was the only man With trouble on his mind? Was he sorry for the people That he had to leave behind? I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know Did he understand what happened? Did he find it all unfair? Did he cry for all the searching souls Who didn’t seem to care? Did he call out to the silence? Or did he did he know someone was there? I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know (Chorus) (Bridge) My Daddy was preacher And he taught me to be kind And he said that what we sew Becomes the harvest that we find And he said the Jesus never thought The faithful should be blind And in those final seconds Did he have something to say Was he uncertain for a moment Did he wish he could stay It seems to me that faith Is when you do it anyway I don’t know

One of the Good Ones by Joel Glenn Wixson I’d like to tell you a story ‘Bout a man that I know Who isn’t at all what you’d think ‘Cause he grew up in the projects And he was raised by his mom But I can tell you he don’t even drink (Chorus) He’s one of the good ones Not like the rest He’s one of the good ones America’s best He’s one of the good ones And ain’t it a shame That the rest of them can’t be the same I’d like to tell you a story ‘Bout a man that I know He isn’t like you’d think he’d be He never had any money And he didn’t do school But he never asked nothing from me (Chorus) (Bridge) But what if the good ones And bad ones the same Are all people just trying to get by? And what if it turned out At the end of the game All that difference is mostly a lie I’d like to tell you a story ‘Bout a man that I know He isn’t like he used to be He put away all his judgments And opened his eyes And he’s got a lot to teach me (Chorus) The rest of us can’t do the same

Contained 05:53

Contained by Joel Glenn Wixson (Chorus) There is a light in every one of you And it is burning like a flame And there is nothing that you can not do If you refuse to be contained Ever wonder when a life begins? Well it begins when you inhale You’re taking in a part of everything And that’s when you begin to sail You ride the currents of the up and down You flow with everybody else And there’s a magic in the joy and pain But you can lose track of yourself You could get caught up in the lies you tell You could get caught up in the fun You could get caught up in just getting buy And watch the days pass one by one You could decide that you are giving up You could decide to just let go You could decide that it is just too hard But if you do than you don’t know When times are hard it starts to show Just give it faith and give it love And give it life so it can grow (Chorus) So now I’ve told you when a life begins That it begins when you inhale And you become a part of everything And that’s when you begin to sail If you wonder when your life will end It will end when you exhale And if you work to take each moment in There is no way that you can fail But there are choices that you have to make You could decide to just let go You could decide that it is just too hard But if you do than you don’t know When times are hard it starts to show Just give it time and give it love And give it life so it can grow
