Lyrics

1. COOKIE JAR                          
Music: Dale Ockerman   Lyrics: Emrys Hanley/ Dale Ockerman

Cant fool everybody   all of the time
You might get lucky    you might lose your mind
Got away with a little   then it got too far
Got caught with your hand in the cookie jar

What goes up must come down
Then it comes back around
And that which was lost might be found

You'll never have enough
Just like Midas' touch
No more water in the well today
Aint nowhere to run
Who're you gonna trust?
When you feel the rush
No more money for the bills to pay
Took a little bit too much

Everything's great   everything's fine
You got yours    and I got mine
Sometimes you gotta wonder
Who's behind the wheel
The spell that were under
You can't believe what's real

Something wrong in the land
Got our heads in the sand
We all share the stain upon our hands

You'll never have enough
Just like Midas' touch
No more water in the well today
Aint nowhere to run
Who're you gonna trust?
When you feel the rush
No more money for the bills to pay
Took a little bit too much


2. INTUITIVE
Music and Lyrics:   Dale Ockerman
©2005 Dale Ockerman Music BMI

Listen closely to the sound
Of your beating heart
Can you hear the voice inside?
Reminds you who you are

Set controls of your system
To "manual override"
Let your soul   guide decisions
That affect your life

Cause it's not too late
To try another way
Don't give in to hate
Just turn and walk away

The time has come- time to give
Into the Intuitive
We're here today to see within
And love the world we're living in

What became of the notion
Thinking for yourself?
Buttons pushed by emotion
Let somebody else
What you feel is what is real
You know where you've been
Experience will never lie
The lesson's deep within

Cause it's not too late
To try another way
Don't give in to hate
Just turn and walk away

The time has come time to give
Into the Intuitive
We're here today is all we know
So find a way And let it grow

Second Nature      Second Sight
Educate your mind with Light
Step into the Light
The time has come time to give
Into the Intuitive
We're here today is all we know so find a way
And let it grow
Second Nature     Second Sight
Into the Intuitive
Educate your mind with Light
Into the Intuitive



3. EXPECT YOUR MIRACLE
By Ebernita "Twinkie" Clark
© Bridgeport Music BMI


I'm looking for a miracle
I expect the impossible
I feel the intangible
I see the invisible
( Repeat)

The sky is the limit to what I can have
( Repeat)
Just believe and receive it and god will perform it today

I'm looking for a miracle
I expect the impossible
I feel the intangible
I see the invisible
( Repeat)

The sky is the limit to what I can have
( Repeat)
just believe and receive it, and God will perform it today

Life is a miracle  Every day
God will make a way  Out of "no way"
( Repeat)

The sky is the limit to what I can have
( Repeat)
Just believe and receive it and God will perform it
Today

Life is a miracle- Every day
God will make a way  Out of "no way"
( Repeat)


4. ONLY HURT YOURSELF
Music and Lyrics: Dale Ockerman
© 2005 Dale Ockerman Music BMI


Too busy talking to hear the truth  and never wondering why                                            
You read the papers and you watch the news it makes you want to cry
We're out of touch were out of time  We need to read between the lines
Cause when you hurt somebody, you only hurt yourself, my friend
It's time to break the chains of circumstance
Leave yesterday behind
Make the change while you have the chance
For a new state of mind

It's all too much we're out of time
Get off the fence and draw the line
Cause when you hurt somebody, you only hurt yourself my friend
When you hurt somebody, you only hurt yourself, my friend

If you want to be free
Of all the suffering you see
Open your eyes and
Look deep inside

If you want to be free
It starts individually
What begins from within
Cannot be denied



5. .JUST LET GO
Music by Dale Ockerman  
Lyrics by Emrys Hanley and Dale Ockerman
© 2005 Dale Ockerman Music BMI

What we've got
Is what we've made it
First we love
Then we hate it

Too late now
to turn back around
Just let go

What we want
Try and find it
Look too long
Wind up blinded

Two ways now
But time won't allow
Just let go

When you know what life is really worth
There's no time to live with lies
Find your Heaven waiting here on Earth
When you look with open eyes

If you have to have it
Break the habit
Just let go
If it don't feel right
And you can't sleep at night
Just let go
All that you see
Will surely cease to be
Just let go


6. BLUES FOR MOTHER NATURE
Music and lyrics: Dale Ockerman
© 2005 Dale Ockerman Music BMI


Now I like to drink the water
You know I love to breathe the air
Now I like to drink the water,
You know I love to breathe the air,
It may not be around for long,
Some people just don't seem to care

She's so fine, yes She is
You're gonna miss her when she's gone
Yeah, She's so fine
You're gonna miss her when she's gone
(if) we don't stop the things we're doin'-
She wont be hangin round for long

Now I've been around this world,
But it's all startin' to look the same
It might be good for business, but there's a bitter aftertaste
Do you wonder was it worth it
When you look at all the waste?

Well, we love to live in comfort,
We like to think we're doin' fine
Yes we love to live in comfort,
We don't believe that we were lying'
To ourselves about the price, until it looks you in the eye

Till it looks you in the eye
When you hear the ocean sigh
When the rivers all run dry
When you cant see the mountains high
Can't you feel the world is crying?



7. LUCKY
Music: Dale Ockerman
Lyrics: David Tucker/ Will Russ /Dale Ockerman
©2005 Subira Music, Dale Ockerman music BMI


Some people get lucky
And they don't even know it
Others try and try
Got nothing to show for it
If I get lucky I want you to know
After time and tide
Aint gonna let it go

And we'll see  What will be,
Or if it came too easily

I don't know what it is   I'm trying to get it right
I heard that time slows down  
As you approach the speed of light
They say to err is human,   Forgiveness is divine
If I could look beyond myself
Keep an open mind

Some people got nothing' but a friendly smile
Some folks seem to have it all-
But a way to make it worthwhile
My observation    for what it's worth
Helps to show some gratitude
Down here on earth

In a couple of days   You know tomorrow   Will soon be yesterday
So what's the use in worrying?  Won't change things anyway
We all get overwhelmed    by the vastness of it all
But when somebody loves you
It's not so bad at all-

Do I feel Lucky enough To be the one that you could really love?
Trying to do the best that I can
So you can see me as I am
Do I feel Lucky enough to be the one you really love?
Or am I just fooling myself?



9. Flame Burning
Music: Dale Ockerman Lyrics: Cornelius Bumpus, Ronnie Barnes, Bud Cockrell, Dale Ockerman

©2005 Dale Ockerman Music BMI

They say that all good things take time
And only time will tell
I hold a vision in my mind
Together we must dwell

Freedom in every land Can you see that?

There's a flame burning deep inside of me
There's a flame burning bright
There's a flame burning deep inside of me
There's a flame burning bright

I truly feel that on this earth
Wisdom must prevail
And though there is a battle first
Goodness cannot fail

Freedom for every man Can you see that?

There's a flame burning deep inside of me
There's a flame burning bright
There's a flame burning deep inside of me
There's a flame burning bright



11. .JUDGMENT DAY (BADLANDS LULLABY)

Music: Dale Ockerman
Lyrics: Ken Mathews, Dale Ockerman
© 2005 Dale Ockerman Music BMI


In this world that we're living
You must learn to give and take
But you give too much of your heart
And you know that your heart can break

So hard to tell where to draw the line
Look to your heart and there you may find
It's only a matter of time

So don't be giving up
Just believe in love
You think you've had enough
But don't be giving up

It gets so easy to sit and watch your dreams slip away
That little light of hope
Seems a little darker every day

More to the story than meets the eye
Look to your heart and there you will find
It's only a matter of time

You can say, " that's the way it goes"
You can say that it's meant to be
What's to come nobody knows
But no one else is gonna set you free

So don't be giving up
Just believe in love
