"I BELONG (Redux)" by David Guilbault Not to worry. Oh, not to cry for A world grown weary from all of its lies. Take a stand for what is true, And watch the whole wide world out gunning for you.  Oh, I, oh, I – I belong. Oh, I, oh, I - I belong.  There’s no place where I shouldn’t be. Ev’ryone is already free. All of us are all of this earth. Never mind the fate of my birth. Oh, I, oh, I – I belong. Oh, I, oh, I - I belong.  I belong where I’m found. I belong where I’m around. I belong where I’m bound. I belong to this town. I belong. Here and now is where I will stay. Ain’t nobody gonna turn me away. Ain’t no wind that’s got the gust To blow my truth into the dust.  Oh, I, oh, I – I belong. Oh, I, oh, I - I belong.  I belong where I’m found. I belong where I’m around. I belong where I’m bound. I belong to this town. I belong. I belong. "I Belong (Redux)" © 2014 David Guilbault _________________________

Just a Man 03:36
"JUST A MAN" by David Guilbault You say that I’m your angel. Well I wouldn’t count on my wings, To take you off to heaven, Or to bring you anything. You say that I’m your savior. Well I’ve got my own cross to bear. I’m Just a man, just a man, just a man, who's there. You say that I’m your hero. Well I wouldn’t count on my strength, To come to your rescue, Or to save you from anything. You say that I’m your white knight. Well, my armor’s pierced and worn. I’m Just a man, just a man, just a man, that’s all. Well, darling I’m no angel. If I was I’d fill your life with grace. And baby, I’m no hero. If I was I’d take you from this place. I’m sure no savior. Got no holy name to call. I’m Just a man, just a man, just a man, that’s all. But just this man can hold you And make you feel safe in his arms. And just this man can love you For all the special things you are. And just this man can be there When you need him in your life. I’m just the man, just the man, just the man, who's right.

"ENOUGH'S ENOUGH" by David Guilbault For all the times I tried. It never was enough. Always loving, always kind. But it never was enough. Your cup was never full, No matter what I’d do. After all that’s tried and true, Enough’s enough for me and you. The weary world is waxing cold. It’s nearly done now we are told. Some pitched a fight. Some made a fuss. But it never was enough. Darkness stayed long past the night. Hungry hearts gave up the fight. Some stayed true. Some played rough. But it never was enough. No, it never was enough. For all the times they tried. It never was enough. Always fighting the good fight. But it never was enough. The child is teacher to the man. And she has had all that she can. She won’t take it anymore. Enough’s enough, she tells the world. "Enough's Enough" © 2015 David Guilbault _________________________

"DON'T ASK ME WHY" by David & Brent Guilbault Don’t ask me why. I never understood Don’t ask me why. I’d tell you if I could. Can’t take an action. Can’t make a move. All these distractions are just a ruse. Don’t ask me why I answer to my fears Don’t ask me why They grip me when they’re here. Terror knows no boundary. The bearer can’t be blamed. Fear is the foundry where I was flamed. Don’t ask me why. I get so down. There’s nothing I can do. That brings you down. There’s nothing you can do. There is no reason. There’s just the rhyme. The world’s in season. I’m out of time. Don’t ask me why. Don’t ask me why It all wound up this way. Don’t ask me why I won’t know what to say. It’s up to me now. It’s down to this: Into the light or the abyss. Don’t ask me why. "Don't Ask Me Why" © 1997 David & Brent Guilbault _________________________

Dirty Money 04:28
"DIRTY MONEY" by David Guilbault Dirty money. Dirty money. I’m being bought and sold with dirty money. Filthy lies. Filthy lies. You can buy a world of hurt with filthy lies. You can buy a world of hurt with filthy lies. Who’s fooling who? Who took the bait? Who stole the seal that sealed the poor man’s fate? Who took the cash from the working hands? Who took him down and paid the man? It’s a crying shame, what’s being done. There’s a robbery and the lawman’s got the gun. The hunter court leads the way. They lying thief collects the pay. Nowhere to go. Nothing more to say. The hand of state knows it can have its way. The vultures fly. They own the sky. They pick the life out of your eyes. Dirty money. Dirty money. I’m being bought and sold with dirty money. Filthy lies. Filthy lies. You can buy a world of hurt with filthy lies. You can buy a world of hurt.

"IF I AIN'T HURT" by David Guilbault Days fall short, Nights all hold me down. If I ain’t hurt, Then why’s no one around?  The life I earned Is bleeding on the mount. If I ain’t hurt Then why’s there blood on the ground?  Blows from behind, Knocks out all my breath. Knows she can lie And steal all that is left. Crushes my heart, An anvil on my chest. If I ain’t hurt Then why am I losing my breath?  Whoa, oh, yeah it hurts. Whoa, oh, I mean it hurts. Whoa, oh, yeah I’m hurt. Whoa, oh, I mean I hurt. I hold back the tears, Hold back the fears of hate. I know it ain’t right, Still I take the bait. I wish I could stop, Step back from the cliff. If I ain’t hurt Then why’s this pain like this? "If I Ain't Hurt" © 2015 David Guilbault _________________________
