brian littrell - welcome home
When I left home to be who I am
Some people said no way
But I laid it all down
Gave everything
In my head rang the words
That my father said
You're never far
I will be where you are
And when you come to me
I will open my arms
Welcome home you
I know you by name
How do you do
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good to just see your face
When i look at you
Holding my heart
I give to you all that i have
Son I know, there'll be times that
You'll feel all alone
I will share with you
The words my father said
You are never far
I will be where you are
And when you come to me
You can bet i will open my arms
Welcome home you
I know you by name
How do you do
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just
To see your face
I've been waiting for that day
Just to feel your warm embrace
Your love has shown
That I will never be alone
For you will welcome me home
I'll forever be
For you will say to me
Welcome home
I know you by name
How do you do
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face
When I left home to be who I am
Some people said no way
brian littrell - you keep givin me
So many reasons to be thankful
So many blessings that I can't repay
And I never would made it here without you
Sending Angels that guide me on my way
You keep giving me joy
You keep giving me happiness
You keep giving me Hope
You keep giving me everything I wish
You keep holding me up
When I'm about to fall
And even if all of that was not enough
you keep giving me love (keep giving me love)
I know that I'm not always easy
And I know I put you through some trying days
But in spite of all the worries that I gave you
Know you never let my angels get away
You keep giving me joy
You keep giving me happiness
You keep giving me Hope
You keep giving me everything I wish
You keep holding me up
When I'm about to fall
And even if all of that was not enough
you keep giving me love (keep giving me love)
Have I told you lately how your love has saved me
it takes me to a place I only dreamed of.
I'm so thankful for my sweet angel
You keep giving me joy
You keep giving me happiness
You keep giving me Hope
You keep giving me everything I wish
You keep holding me up
When I'm about to fall
And even if all of that was not enough
you keep giving me love (keep giving me love)
Like an angel guiding me from up above
you keep giving me love
Oh yes you do
brian littrell - angels and heroes
We are the poets, we are the dreamers
We are the soldiers, we are the screamers
We are the fallen to rise again
We are the lovers, we are cynics
We are the hours, we are the minutes
We are all friends in the end
So why be alive if you don't follow your every dream
Reach up to Heaven and stand for what you believe
We don't need wings to be angels
We don't need reasons to be right
Your love makes us all better
That who we really are
Angels and heroes at heart
We are the givers, we are receivers
We are confessors, we are believers
We are the strange familiar face
We are afraid and so we follow
We're underpaid and so we borrow
We mine for tears, but much too late
So why can't we open hearts, open our minds
Forgiving is easy for You will come if we open our eyes
We don't need wings to be angels
We don't need reasons to be right
Your love makes us all better
That who we really are
We don't need sleep to be dreamers
We don't need to have tears in our eyes
Your love makes us all better
That's who really are
Angels and heroes at heart
I know it seems easier to run and hide
And bury emotions in the dark of night
But it's worth the fight
Worth the fight
Just aim for the light
We don't need wings to be angels
We don't need reasons to be right
Your love makes us all better
That who we really are
Angels and heroes at heart

brian littrell - can i live
Intro: Jadakiss
Uh yeah, yeah, what what, yeah yeah, yeah, what, yeah, what
yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Verse One: Jadakiss
Yo this is a monopoly, niggaz ain't stoppin' me
And we can't lose cuz Puff set us up properly
Just won't settle for lesser, who wanna test us
We be in the 5 with the goose headrests
L.O.X. put niggaz under pressure
You shoulda knew that, it's always them new cats that'll get ya
Better start lookin at things from my angle
I'm trying to be up on the board with a triangle
Next to my name with a 10 or a 20
Now that's when you really can say you gettin money
But right now all I do is sit back and listen
To a wise young man who quickly became a rich one
Put me up on the fact that it ain't hard to get some
Chips if I just keep writing with ambition
Then I get an advance from the 5 to the 6 and
House with 2 kitchens, diamonds, plenty women
Built-in pool to swim in
But the plan is to start from the floor, and raise it up
Then you hit'em in the head 'til your days is up
You blazin' what, playboy you frail and butt
You know when Bad Boy drops, all your sales is cut
Chorus: Black Rob
Can I Live, no one man can stop me
Can I Live, no front-line can block me
Can I Live, its enough base for all of us
Can I Live, without the names they calling us
Can I Live, no one man can stop me
Can I Live, no front-line can block me
Can I Live, or do I gatta bring it to these kids
Can I Live, if I don't live nobody lives
Verse Two: Styles
Time is money, money is power so I'm sour
22 feelin like I've wasted every hour
Of my life, shoulda been had a million in ice
High as a kite, feeling the flight
Turbulence, once in a blue moon I had a dream of fly shit
Hanglide to the Alps with this fly chick
Condo in Fresno with the lesbo
And the honey that she hit know how to stretch blow
They know that I'm Styles they respect the flow
Why don't y'all let a nigga live and help him make a decimal
Truth will set you free what will a lie do
Niggaz say I'm God but I be gettin' high too
Can't love the money like the niggaz beside you
Cuz when the paper gone...you gon' slide too
Niggaz wanna ball, but got to fall to rise
While the world spins around they wanna stall they eyes
Close they ears my nose makes me oppose my fear
Cuz I can smell hell
Before I sell rat I'll catch a shell farewell
Niggaz will never tell
Their man that I was pussy
Unless they got a gun, and I ain't got one, I might let you push me
Chorus
Verse Three: Shiek
I pray to God to promise me, before I see the pearly gates
To let my whole team be straight, mansion no Section 8
Puttin' pressure so that I can make this bed
Got 2 mattresses now all I need is the spread
With like 4 pillows so my seeds can rest their heads
You think platinum is enough, nah Sheek want more
Tryin' to sell more than Tickle me Elmo in the store
Italian cuisine, Linguin. while my diamonds like-SHING
So when I move at night-time you might think it's light-NING
Just throw me the ball once and I'll tell you no lie
Shiek gonna show you money, like Jerry McGuire
It's a thug thing, L.O.X. product thing, conducting
Anything for chips while you sit and blab your lips
In the restaurant taking tips while Sheek on trips
Logos on our ships bustin' at the eclipse
While im pissy, spittin' up Crissy in the water
But you can do that for money, when 100's like a quarter...
Chorus
Verse Four: Black Rob
This is to my AK tollas, money bill foldas
Bambin soldiers, whips wit big motors
On the low for years, the Feds can't decode us
We bust rounds, all you gotta do is load us
My night time prowlers, and grimmey after hours
Karl Kani, Mumalo wear, Eddie Bauers
Flippin cake niggaz, who strip and take niggaz
Upstate niggaz, my Crystal Lake niggaz
We gonna hold it down if we gotta shake niggaz
And make niggaz do what we say, or break niggaz
Survival of the fitist, it ain't me cause I did it
Now you see me shinnin 2 mill with my diamonds
And I owe it all to heart grimmin
Don't mean i'm gonna stop climbin, 9-9, it's good timin
I salute my thugs, who rock
With the drugz and switch gunz, and pay 30 thou for the slum
Make it happen, I swear to God if I don't make it rappin
I'm clappin, extortin, and robbin niggz cribs and contactin
Can I live...
Can I Live, no one man can stop me
Can I Live, no front-line can block me
Can I Live, or do I gatta bring it to these kids
Can I Live, if I don't live nobody lives
Can I Live, no one man can stop me
Can I Live, no front-line can block me
Can I Live, its enough base for all of us
Can I Live, without the names they calling us
brian littrell - don t take the girl
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we cant leave her behind
Son I know you dont want her to go but someday you'll change your mind
And Johnny said take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want, as long as she dont go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please, don't take the girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm, said if you do what I tell you to there wont be any harm
And Johnny said take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Said here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my car
Mister give it a whirl
But please dont take the girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's going to be a little one and she says it's time to go
Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave
'cause his momma's fading fast and johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please dont take the girl
Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old
brian littrell - gone without goodbye
Have you seen my son?
Not too tall, five-eight
She held up a color copy photograph from his wedding day
This is his pregnant wife
Carrying his last dream
He walked down 46 floors before he felt the rush
The rush of gasoline
I can feel the pain
Looking in their eyes
But I don't know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I'd bring him right back to your arms
Though I haven't seen your son
He's forever in my life
Have you seen my little girl?
She's got curly black hair
She took this raggedy anne doll everywhere
Last I saw her over there
Then I heard a choir of screams
And a speeding van
I watched his tears pour down
A father's last attempt at being a rational man
I can feel the pain
Look into his eyes
But I don't know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I'd bring her right back to your arms
Though I haven't seen your girl
She's forever in my life
Have you seen my faith?
It can run and it can hide
Jesus, mend this breaking heart of mine
It keeps our love alive
I can feel the pain
Look into my eyes
But I don't know gone without goodbye
If I could reach the sky
I'd try to turn the world around
So that we could see the face
And forever stay alive
brian littrell - grace of my life
I lie awake so often at night
With something to read and something to write
In the silence my mind is free
To think of the ways that God has blessed me
Its easy to see how he's been so kind
Any proof I might need is right here by my side
You are the grace of my life
So tender, so undeserved
Hard to believe you're my wife
Even harder to put what I feel into words
If I need evidence god is good
Just looking at you is enough
You are the grace of my life
For you grace my life with your love
Love that is pure, so faithful and strong
You forgive me when I do you wrong
Seeing you, yeah, time after time
A picture on Earth, a love so divine
Oh I am amazed for how can it be
Someone like you would love someone like me?
You are the grace of my life
So tender, so undeserved
Hard to believe you're my wife
Even harder to put what I feel into words
If I need evidence God is good
Just looking at you is enough
You are the grace of my life
For you grace my life with your love
Oh you are the grace of my life
for you grace my life with your love
brian littrell - i surrender all
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust him
In His presence daily live...
(Chorus)
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all...
All to Jesus I surrender
Humbly at His feet I bow
Worldly pleasures all forsaken
Take me, Jesus, Take me now...
(Chorus)
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all...
Lord I give to You
All I ever have
And everything I was
And everything I am
And now I laid it down
I lay it at Your feet
To Your grace
To Your power
I surrender all...
Lord, I give myself to Thee
Fill me with thy love and power
Let thy blessing fall on me...
(Chorus)
I surrender all, I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all...
brian littrell - i m alive
I've lived a lot a life
I've caught a dream or two
It?s been a sweet ride
But I've faced my share of knives
A search like we all do
Looking inside
Now I'm standing here
'Cause you made it clear
This heart inside me beats because
He loved enough to take my cross
I'm alive
You gave your life to shine a death
So even after my last breath
I'm alive
I'm finally wide awake
I'm finished being known
It?s a new day
But I feel it on my face
Its hope a midnight sun
That won't fade away
I'm bowing down
And I'm crying out
This heart inside me beats because
He loved enough to take my cross
I'm alive
You gave your life to shine a death
So even after my last breath
I'm alive
Forever, forever more
Forever Lord
I'm alive
Forever, forever more
Forever Lord
This heart inside me beats because
He loved enough to take my cross
I'm alive
You gave your life to shine a death
So even after my last breath
I'm alive
Forever, forever more
Forever Lord
Forever, forever more
Forever Lord
brian littrell - in christ alone
In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone I overcome
Oh I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hand
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand
Chorous
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone
In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
And only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
Now I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more
And to count my gains
But losses to the glory of my Lord
Chorous
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone (2x)

brian littrell - my answer is you
There's a world of difference
When faith is in our hearts
It stands out like sunlight
When life becomes so dark
And when those around me ask me why I dare to dream
Or why I love, or why I sing
My answer is you
My answer is you
Your the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand its
Strange from the world's point of view
My answer is you
And I find it incredible
To believe what I can't see
And my faith isn't foolish
Or even say its weak
I wanna live my life so differently because of faith
And it causes them to question (for me to say)
My answer is you
My answer is you
Your the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand its
Strange from the worlds point of view
My answer is you
Your the reason I am alive
For every good thing in my life
My answer is you
My answer is you
my answer is you
Your the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand its
Strange from the world's point of view
But My answer is praying
And its simple lord
My answer is you (my answer is you)
My answer is you
brian littrell - one last cry
My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry
I was here you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind I've gotta put you out of my mind
this time
Stop living a lie
I know I?ve gotta be strong
?Cause ?round me life goes on and on and on and on
But have one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind I've gotta put you out of my mind
for the very last time
Been living a lie I guess I'm down I guess I'm down I guess I'm
down To my last cry
brian littrell - over my head
I tried to figure it out
Time and time again, and time again
I guess there's some things I'll never understand
'Cause your ways aren't our ways
But deep down in my soul, down in my soul
There is one thing I know that I know
I'm in over my head
I'm right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within your love
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head
I've been holding on
and now I'm letting go, just letting go
gonna let your love carry me away
I don't know where I'm going
but I'm surrounded by the truth
And I can feel the current pulling me
Deeper and deeper into you
I'm in over my head
I'm right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within your love
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
And I'm in over my head
I'm right where I wanna be
I'm so lost within your love
the love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
a strong and cleansing tide
my soul has found a place to rest
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over
You see me for who I am
You gave me a challenge a head
You made me understand
That your love has always covered me
