DEAD SEA
T Pearce
Found a thing just the other day
and I needed to throw it away
How can I lose this permanently?
Gonna take it right on down
to the dead sea
Throw it out in the sea
While I'm standing at the dead sea
saw a man looking back at me
could it be the man i was
or the man that i need to be
staring into the dead sea?
aint it funny how waves can flow?
the heavens pull and the high winds blow
then somehow we wind up here
in a place where we face our fear
floating on a dead sea
don't know how it got this far,
started wondering where you are
I was hidden in the garden well
hoping that the saints don't tell on me
now i find me at the dead sea
nothing lives in the water here,
nothing lives anywhere near
so afraid to let it be
and i'm hanging on desperately
floating out on the dead sea
in a place of helplessness
the waters moved in a sweet caress
even though I can't drink this cup,
still a hand is holding me up
can't sink in the dead sea

Thorns
©T. Pearce
There was a time when I knew your voice;
It was as real as a dollar bill
There was a time when I know your way;
It was something I could just feel
There was a time when I knew your word,
And it was always on my lips
There was a time when I knew your will,
How could I ever forget?
But I fell among thorns
I got caught in the weeds
I fell among thorns,
Now the world is choking me
There was a time when I showed your love,
I would even go out of my way
There was a time when I loved my neighbor
In a Samaritan kind of way
There was a time when I wanted to give
With never a thought to take
There was a time when learning to live
Meant dying to my selfish ways
Where did my first love go?
Show me the path of return
The things that I used to know
I find that I need to re-learn
There was a time when seeking your face
Was something I wanted to do
There was time when all of my time
Was spent getting closer to you

Dead Flies
(c) 2011 Ted Pearce & Daniel Pearce
Dead flies in the ointment of the apothocary
Causeth it to send forth a stinking savor
So does a little bit of folly in a very wise man
King Solomon wrote this song, it’s Ecclesiastes 10:1,
Trying to give some instruction to his beloved son
Don't you mess with those wild women lest thou pay the price,
Don't you go playing like Tiger lest you want to lose your wife
You might not be the sharpest bowl in the knife drawer,
You might not say “nuclear” so great
But if you say you had no relations with that woman,
They gonna laugh at you in all 57 states
You can be too smart but not too wise,
You can be too cool, a real legend in your own mind
But every foolish thing you do will someday be revealed,
Just ask ole Charlie Sheen and let him tell you how it feels
We can laugh at these celebrities, but c’mon, let's get real,
You don't have to be famous to be getting the very same deal
You could be known as a great man for your whole life through and through,
But you just do one stupid thing and that’s how they'll remember you

“That Kind of Love”
(Rabbi of Kalisz)
W. Waldman & T Pearce
He was born on the Amber road, by the way of the Baltic Sea
A frail little boy in 1914.
Winds of war rolled in from the west to ravage the town of Kalisz
And nothing was left when they finally did leave
Where can you go when nothing remains?
Nowhere to run from that kind of pain
He could have hardened his heart, let the bitterness sweep him away
But he found the strength of his God and forgave
Hosanna! hosanna! how can we treat each other the way that we do?
To the last blood he had to rise above,
How can we find the grace for that kind of love, that kind of love?
September of '39 there came a different wind
From the east and the west, the nightmare began again
The beautiful land had become smokestacks and rivers of red
He stood at the threshold with all of his friends
"Schema Yisrael, the Lord our God is one" was on their lips
And then they were gone
Hosanna, hosanna, how can we treat each other the way that we do?
To the last blood he chose to rise above,
How can we find the grace for that kind of love?
Where were you when we walked in, and have we all been forsaken?
Have you let the darkness win after everything they've taken?
Not my will but yours be done, but if I could ask just one question
How could this be worth the price,
Why are the innocent always the sacrifice?
Hosanna, hosanna, how can we treat each other the way that we do?
Despised and rejected by men, acquainted with grief
A lamb to the slaughter was He
Over the forest and golden fields of Kalisz
A strange kind of ash floats towards the sea...

Remembering Lucy Baum
© 2013 W. Grund & T Pearce
Rofex Pub BMI Admin Tunecore
Though my head says that it's all over now
My old heart can't let go somehow
Am I supposed to go on now like it never was?
And though it hurts more than I can say,
The memory never goes away
Sometimes at night I crawl and pray that it would….
It's still worth remembering, still worth remembering
So I am remembering for the rest of my life
Oh I am remembering, yes, I am remembering
'Cause it is the remembering that keeps us alive
And I wish I could return to a time when we would yearn
For a day that we'd play in the sun, and we'd laugh and we'd dance
Now things could never be the same but it helps when I call out your name
To believe that somehow you hear
And it's still worth remembering, still worth remembering
So I am remembering for the rest of my life
Oh I am remembering, I am remembering
'Cause it is the remembering that keeps us alive
It keeps us alive...

He Believes
© 2014 W Waldman & B Rowan
Wendy Waldman ASCAP admin: Pen Publishing
Brent Rowan ASCAP Wing and a Prayer Music
Coming to the crossroads, don't know which way to go
Everything I thought I knew now it's clear I don't know
Wondering if there's someone there
Anyone who sees or believes
When did it get so dark, when did we lose our way?
Who can hear what's in our hearts when we pray, when we pray, when we pray
If you think there's no one there,
There's someone who sees,
He believes I can do even better,
I can go even farther,
When I try, when it's hard to keep dreaming
When I think I can't go on, he sees me, He still believes
If you think there's no one there, there's someone who sees
If you think that no one cares just believe
He believes
