Lyrics for CD: "A Little Faith"
All Songs Copy written 1991-2002
The Children (Mike
Parr)
Why do you act like you do You say
you’re through
Emotional contradictions can be seen What do they mean
They turn from their hearts to thy head Then they are dead
Cannot tell from the outside what’s in, It could be sin
Chorus:
All of us are the children We learn lessons experience from the master God
only knows what we’re after Even our laughter Take the time to talk to you
to your guide He is on your side
The Children
The moment you gave up on others,
They are your brothers, sisters, mothers
Sheep’s shall veer from their flock, They lost their rock-Peter
Don’t stay out too long you may harden, You get no pardon from the warden
Turn back to your to your people you have soul, You are no mole, don’t pay
the toll
Stogie Blues
(Mike Parr and Robert Gassman)
Rolled out the bed this morning was hard to open the lids
My head felt like a vice grip baby I heard the screaming kids
Walked down to the steps munchies comin on
Light head spinning room dinners all gone
Chorus:
I got the Stogie Blues stayed
up all night long
I got the Stogie Blues stayed up all night long
Can’t find no cigarettes Got the Stogie Blues
Walked down to the front door
Stuck on last nights clothes
Put on my hat and sunglasses and sunscreen up my nose
Went down to the corner store buy some beer and stoges
5 Dollar pack a cigarettes they taxed me man this blows
Dreamin’ (Mike
Parr)
Walking down a short pier
Falling off the end
In the water gasping for air
As the boat whizzed by my head
Next thing you know I’m on a yellow bus
Riding all these kids to school
How did I switch to this place so fast
In this world of future present or past
Chorus:
Dreaming - can’t tell if I’m awake or asleep
Dreaming - caught up in this mind chase
Dreaming
Another story starting
trying to give advice
What on earth does it mean
you go figure it out
Spaceships a flying all around me
wearing sheets for clothes
I’m a modern wise man
with a big honkin nose
A Little
Faith (Mike Parr)
Growing up in a large family
At times was lost in confusion
My life was passing before me
Couldn’t get the attention of anyone
Chorus:
A Little Faith is what I ask of you
My hopes and dreams are but a few
Believe in me as my talent grows.
One day for you I’ll show
Found my gifts on this earth
At least one of them I did find
Few had listened from my birth
Just a fantasy in my mind
Can’t get this thought out my
head, Listen to me and I what I said
Go for your dreams and trust in yourself
Do it for your own health
Mary (Mike
Parr)
Got on my knees to get attention
Ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be
I tried to plead without feelin greed
Don’t think He listened
guess I’ll Find out on my own
Good God I’m all alone
Chorus:
Mary, Mary why don’t I know
He placed me here in the present day
What was He thinking all along
Mary, Mary, What don’t I know
You might think this is a little
strange
But I don’t know of any other way
so I’m calling You on the phone
To help me with my questions
Last 3 I dialed were SOS
Cause I got something to request
My Friend (Mike
Parr)
When I’m driving down the road with the top off of my car
The breeze flows in my hair like the wind from afar
I can see the life ahead of me as I gaze into space
I remember your laughter and that smile upon your face
Chorus:
Now my friend is gone
I never did say goodbye
You know I’ll always love you
When I miss you I’ll look up to the sky bye bye
We were best friends from birth
didn’t talk behind my back
When my friends were fighting we teamed up with our pack
Never fought with each other had a pal here for life
But tragedy has taken my friend from my life
Another Life (Mike
Parr)
Another Life torn apart by a child in the dark
She’s too young to know what she has done
When she is grown she’s have know what she did on her own
And its too late to bring back the Light
Baby never had a chance did no
wrong and well never hear its
Song for the world to be heard baby could been a
Saint or just a king or just a man but you never gave a
Change for your life, for your love and its much too late now
Forgive her father for she does
not know what she’s done
she’s taken Light into dark forgive her now
forgive her father show her Light help her see that
if baby’s grandma made the same choice where would mom,
Where would mom be now.
Negative Boy (Mike
Parr)
I was walking down the street one day
Then I saw this girl
I am alpha and Omega
Don’t know what that means
I’m Negative Boy
Negative Boy
I took a ride down the road with
my cat
Getting on my nerves so I threw him out
Caught his paws on the door going down screaming
I left Chevy Chase for this reason
Chorus:
I’m Negative Boy
I’m Negative Boy
I’m Negative Boy
I’m Negative Boy
Went down to the corner to see
my friends there
They all laughed at Me
I bummed a stoge then I lit the wrong side
Can’t do nothing right well, you know the rest
