Swinging from the chandelier
Cussing on a silver moon
Lucky as a rabbits foot
Soft as gold, no bigger than a spoon
Drinking from the bottom shelf
Toasted wasted memories
Lipstick on your ciggarette
Running fast with scars on both your knees
Oh,Ramona tell me where you've been
I ain't had a good thing since I don't know when
I spy Jack sporting spades
Making eyes at the Queens charades
Tears of diamonds
Hearts have flown
And your gambling boy wants you to play your hand back home
Oh,Ramona tell me where you've been
I ain't had that good thing since I don't know when
Swinging from the chandelier
Cussing on a silver moon
Lucky as a rabbits foot
Here one day and gone the next too soon
Oh,Ramona, oh wee baby

I write these little songs, sometimes you sing along
oh and I'm grateful to have you here with me
Another bus rolls by, I wonder who's inside
Are they happy? Are they really free?
And I would not change a thing, as long as I can sing
When I was a child I use to dream of flying, flying high above it all
Now when I raise my voice above the world and all it's noise
I'm flying, I could never fall
And I would not change a thing, as long as I can sing my song
And I would not change a thing, no I would not change a thing
as long as I can sing my song, sing along with me

Nothing to Prove

The snake sheds its skin, the moon sheds her shadow
Born and re-born again, through every triumph and sorrow
We have no plan, we have no fear and nothing to prove
We've got nothing to prove
Drive the stake through the monsters heart, draw the sword from the stone
Don't hang on through faith or religion, courage comes from flesh and bone
We have no plan, we have no fear and nothing to prove
We've got nothing to prove
Yesterday's a broken mirror, tomorrow a fools dream
with eyes wide open to surrender, to live in the now is what it means
We have no plan, we have no fear and nothing to prove
We've got nothing to prove

Sister Mine with heart so full, you do what you do, you carry on
in spite of every wave that tries to drag you down,
there's tenderness when you're standing strong
Take the world on a string, tie it in a bow with the love you bring
Sister Mine
Sister Mine
Sister Mine could you ever see just what we see when you come our way?
The sacrifice and struggle you take on with ease
Through restless nights and worn out days
Just another step in stride, unshakable and clear of eye
Sister Mine
Sister Mine
We should hear your every word, no one can tell you what you deserve
Sister Mine your fearless ways and patience mind will pull you through
Time and time again your words are washed away in waterfalls and morning dew
Mother Earth she knows the truth, all would be nothing without you
Sister Mine
Sister Mine

Don't Let 'Em

Don't let 'em drag you down, its gonna be okay
This world is meant for all no matter what they say
We all making it up as we go along
Put your hand in mine and we can't go wrong
if somebody tells you, you're not worthy, i'm here to tell you that its just not true
Somebody says you'll always be lonely it's only because they're lonely too
Don't let 'em drag you down, its gonna be okay
This world is made for all no matter what they say
We all making it up as we go along
Put your hand in mine and we can't go wrong
if somebody tells youth that it's black and white you damn well there's colors shades and hues
if somebody says you must pick a side but, it's a natural fact every coin has two
Don't let 'em drag you down, its gonna be okay
This world is made for all no matter what they say
We all making it up as we go along
Put your hand in mine and we can't go wrong
Somebody tells you to bite your tongue, keep it to yourself, shut up and sing
Don't hold back when you when you know what's true
all their whinning, stomping and cussing won't change a thing
Don't let 'em drag you down, its gonna be okay
This world is made for all no matter what they say
We all making it up as we go along
Just take a deep breath and help me sing this song
Don't let 'em drag you down, its gonna be okay
This world is made for all no matter what they say
We all making it up as we go along
Put your hand in mine and we can't go wrong
Put your hand in mine and we can't go wrong
Put your hand in mine and we can't go wrong
