Tumblin’ Dice – Keith Thompson
Once was a gambler, you know I rolled the tumblin’ dice
Once was a gambler, you know I rolled the tumblin’ dice
It was only when I lost it all that I stopped to think twice
I used to drink a lot, you know I stayed out all night long
I used to drink a lot, you know I stayed out all night long
The I woke up one day and said Lord you know that’s wrong
I used to drink whisky till it got the better of me
I used to drink whisky till it got the better of me
Then I looked in the mirror I didn’t like what I could see
If I could find love you know I’d change my wicked ways
If I could find love you know I’d change my wicked ways
My dear mother, every night on her knees she’d pray
She said, Lord have mercy on my wicked son
She said, Lord have mercy on my wicked son
She believes that when you die your life has just begun
And she tells everyone

Could’ve Been Somebody – Keith Thompson
Could’ve been somebody, I could’ve been somebody good
Could’ve been somebody, I could’ve been somebody good
But I was always fooling around, never did a thing I should
I could have been a teacher but I never paid attention at school
I could have been a teacher but I never paid attention at school
I was always fooling around breaking every single one of those rules
I could have been a preacher but my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
I could have been a preacher but my little girl wouldn’t let me pray
We all need love, don’t matter what anybody says
Gonna be somebody, Gonna be somebody good
Gonna be somebody, Gonna be somebody good
Stop fooling around and do everything I should

Stealing Back My Heart – Keith Thompson
You’ve got me hiding behind a wall of disillusion
You’ve got me running from all this confusion
But I’m turning it around
And you know I think I’ve found the solution
You had me blinded, you’re the devil in disguise
My heart was so cold, I swallowed all your lies
Now I’ve opened my eyes, I predict your demise
But if you still can’t compromise
It’ll take you by surprise
I’m stealing back my heart, stealing back my heart
You think you’re so smart
I’m stealing back my heart
I was believing; that I could never get ahead
You had me seething; you had me follow where you led
Now take a second look, I won’t read your book
And I won’t sing your hook
I’ll fill your heart with dread
I’m stealing back my heart, stealing back my heart
You think you’re so smart
I’m stealing back my heart

Power Of Love – Keith Thompson
You’ve got the answers to every question
You bring my darkness out into the light
You own the secrets of every season
You change my wrong doing into right
The power of love belongs to you
No one can love like you do
The power of love belongs to you
No one can love like you do
I’m going to run to you
When they say there’s no way to reverse this
Trouble deep down in my soul
You bring the problem out to the surface
But you do it just to make me whole
Strong tower, you’re like a fortress
My one pursuit
I run to you my hiding place
No power, no success, there’s no substitute
Life is a gift from your grace

Beat The System – Keith Thompson
Machinery turning and the wheels go round and round
It’s hard to notice if you’re up or if you’re down
I’m getting tired of doing what I’m told
I’ve got to change my life before I get too old
All my words how you twist ‘em
I’m gonna beat the system
Can’t go anywhere without being seen
I have to buy just what I see on the screen
The radio tells me what music I should play
But from all your trash I can’t seem to get away
All your ways I must resist ‘em
Gonna beat the system
Everybody does it, that’s what they say
No-one will notice if you do it again
But don’t think I haven’t seen through your game
Well I don’t want to be the same
Gonna beat the system

In Your Arms – Keith Thompson
Well I travelled on empty on this flight tonight
I’m going back, going back home to you
I have bought many lies in pursuit of love and freedom
But now I realize what is true
But I don’t want no gold, ‘cos it’s not what I’m told
All I want is lie in your arms tonight
I have crossed mercy lines far too many times
Tried your patience, missing all of your signs
I’m a walking, wounded man and I ran out of steam
But I’ve not forgotten how to dream
But I don’t want to crawl and you can take it all
Al I want is to lie in your arms tonight
Well there’s a hole in my heart where love has died
But I know who I am and I won’t be denied by you
But I don’t want to crawl and you can take it all
Al I want is to lie in your arms tonight

Under Your Shadow – Keith Thompson
Manipulated, under your control
Frustrated, deep in my soul
With no sunlight I can’t grow
Under Your Shadow
I know, it wasn’t your intention
This abuse, wasn’t my invention
But it’s not right. I can’t go
Under your shadow
Using gifts to suit your own ends
Re-write the truth to spite all your friends
You stop at nothing, you don’t hesitate
It’s a fine line between love and hate
Under Your Shadow
Rescue me, save me from this pain
Break free from this ball and chain
For the sake of love I must go
Under Your Shadow

Not The Same As Love
03:45

Not Same
You make your excuses, you try to justify
You think everything is yours to buy
You get laid and your memories fade
Its not the same as love
Every man for his own self the end justifies the means
You keep ignoring those silent screams
As needs must confuse love with lust
It’s not the same as love
You satisfy yourself, you take it on the chin
You think the truth is where you’re living in
Judging your brother by the colour of his skin
It’s not the same as love

Let You Go – Keith Thompson
Been doing a lot of thinking ‘bout all we’re looking at
Everyday you’re leaving; I say you can’t do that
But I get so tired of laying down the same old groove
If we can’t work it out together then one of us has to move
We both know….I’ve got to let you go
I think I know what’s best for you, you think you know what’s right
I just want to talk to you, but all we do is fight
Lately I aint sleeping, just rolling around in my bed
All this thought keeps on creeping around and round in my head
I think you know….I’ve got to let you go
My heart is captivated, I’ll always be hear for you
But my mind is activated, there’s nothing else we can do
So I just let you go on doing things in your own way
Aint no use in saying any more today
But after all is said and done, don’t expect me to approve
Cards are on the table and it’s your move
I think we both know…I’ve got to let you go

All Over Now – Keith Thompson
I’ve been through the mill
Thought it would never end
Abuse of all my trust
Crucified my friends
But now….it’s all over now
So many words
I wished I’d never said
I could never win
Never get ahead
But now….it’s all over now
I was in trouble
I looked for you to blame
You took it on yourself
I was in shame
But now….it’s all over now

Promised land
I got a feeling no turning back
Like a big 8 wheeler coming down the track
Gotta keep moving don’t you understand
Till we reach that promised land
Moving faster cant slow down
Got my eyes fixed on that victors crown
And if my words you don’t approve
When the Lord is ready
You gotta move
Where we’re going there’ll be no more cryin’
Time is coming soon there’ll be no more lyin’
When we step right up to the heavenly throne
You’ll either feel at home or all alone
Well this world we’re just passin’ through
You know the way, the life it’s true
Just take hold of the master’s hand
He’ll lead you to the promised land
