Believe
By Chris Nelson

They are growing up too quickly,
racing towards the sun
They think they have all the answers;
Maybe they’ll give me one
Is it way too much to ask them
if the pool is really filled?
They think I don’t really know them
Or see the castles that they build

Little boy lost, little girl lost
Inside their own little world
Little boy lost, little girl lost
He’s a boy and she’s a girl
Little boy lost, little girl lost
In a hurry to conceive
Little boy lost, little girl lost
In the land of make-believe

Starting down a road to nowhere
Hand in hand with blindfolds on
Playing house, like during recess
will be a lot of fun!
When at last the laughter’s over,
all the secrets will be revealed
Will they give each other comfort
when their feelings start to yield?

Little boy lost, little girl lost
Inside their own little world
Little boy lost, little girl lost
He’s a boy and she’s a girl
Little boy lost, little girl lost
In a hurry to conceive
Little boy lost, little girl lost
In the land of make-believe

Unwind
Copyright 2005 Chris Nelson (BMI)

Something close to innocence
Comes about as happenstance
We all think we know where we are
Yet we haven’t traveled very far

I am out here all alone
I can’t find my way back home
Only footprints on the ground
The evidence that I have found

Lead me to where I belong
I’ve been out here way too long
I need direction or a sign
To make this narrow trail…unwind

Plodding along there’s no turning back
Acting on instinct and not on fact
I hope someday my journey ends
But they say that comes with death, my friends…

Lead me to where I belong
I’ve been out here way too long
I need direction or a sign
To make this narrow trail…unwind

HOLIDAY by Chris Nelson copyright 1999 (BMI)

I used to be a believer
but the notion turned outwrong
I used to be a beriever
but the mourning took too long
I used to look to the mountain
but it turned to sand
But now I've found you, dear
all you do is hold my hand

And I wouldn't believe it
'cause it shows through the
things that you do
I used to think that my life
sucks
now everyday's a holiday
with you

I used to look toward the seaside
with the desert in my heart
Tried to reach the objective
with confusion played for art
I used to think I was something
now, I'm just a man
But it's not so bad now
long as you keep hold my hand

And I wouldn't believe it
'cause it shows through the
things that you do
I used to think that my life
sucks
now everyday's a holiday
with you

CIRCLES
BY Chris Nelson
Copyright 1990

I get up every day to the same old beat;
I get up go to work with the same old heat.
Just once, I'd love to break with this old routine
I'd go to the mountains
or out to the desert

Circles, Circles,
Living life in a circle
Circles, Circles,
Running around in circles

I wonder what its like on an open road
Wandering free, about like a TV hero
We could set our own rules as we take control
Whatever we please
This is what free means

I guess that reality is the only way
Someday we'll have our dreams, but no today
so we'll go on living in the ame old way
like programmed robots
the haves and the have-nots

My Solar's System Sun
Copyright 2001 Gary Neilsen

There are so many roads to travel
so many paths to take
how many roads must I travel
just to see your face

How many sunsets pass
how many full moon skies
All of these gifts of living
For the magic in your eyes

I long to caress your body
and feel it close to me
the simple pleasures in this life
make me feel so free

Guitar break

So before I get to dying
and lie my lasting sleep
I won't you to remember
It's you I long to keep

You're fragrance refreshes me
The Spring Time Flowers Weep
Together we shall grow old baby
our love our only need

You are my universe
My Solar's Systems sun
A burning brightly you and I
together we"ll go oooooooonnnnnnn

Frustration Blues
Copyright 2004 Chris Nelson (BMI)

Spending my life, just trying to make a living
I want to take something, but I’m always giving
Round and round, there’s no end to this circus
The meaning of my life has slowly lost purpose

What will I do
If I find I’m too old to ever
break through?
What Will I do
If I’m through?

Won’t someone out there stop and take a listen?
Is there some secret that I may be missing?
Selling my soul along with enjoyment
I’m one step closer to unemployment!

What will I do
If I find I’m too old to ever
break through?
What Will I do
If I’m through?

Gonna paste my link wherever I’m allowed
I wanna play my song until they say it’s too loud
I need someone to tell me how I’m doing
And not just the insults some people keep spewing!

What will I do
If I find I’m too old to ever
break through?
What Will I do
If I’m through?
