Ya Gotta Get Up
(Bob Cowsill, Paul Cowsill, Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Paul/Susan
Waiting for what you believe should surely come your way
And talkin' that the road ahead with turn a golden day
But you must see it's up to you to do what you must do
Don't hang around to get it done you gotta see it through.
But you gotta get up
No matter how you try it seems hard
But you gotta get up
It's up to you this time to push your cart
But you gotta get up
You got to tow your line
Get up
You got to get yourself up
You gotta, you gotta
Sit and waitin' for the call you thought would come your way
You sit too long you'll find you're sittin' for another day
So you must see it's up to you to do what you must do
Don't hang around to get it done you gotta see it through - see it through
But you gotta get up
No matter how you try it seems hard
But you gotta get up
It's up to you this time to push your cart
But you gotta get up
You got to tow your line
Get up
You got to get yourself up
You gotta, you gotta
Watching, waiting timing is everything
But you gotta be willing to play
So you hold on, you hold on, you're risking everything
So you can reach out and touch the golden day
Golden day You got to get up ... get up ... get up
You gotta get up, get up, get up, get up
You gotta get up, get up, get up, get up
You gotta get up
No matter how you try it seems hard

Lend A Hand
(Bob Cowsill, Paul Cowsill, Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bob
Everybody spends a little time on the broken road
But I've been on it so long, I've been calling it home
And if that doesn't speak to you
Try 'n open your heart, I know you'll see what you can do.
Lend a hand to the people with the broken plans
Roll the window down and take a stand, if you can understand
Can you love your fellow man
Lend a hand where we try 'n make a better land
All we got to do it find ways to come together, for each other, one another, love each other
I don't want to be on this street corner flying my signs
I'm all out of pride, I don't have anything that is mine
I had a lot of plans just like you
Then I fell on hard times, saw them all fall thorough.
Lend a hand to the people with the broken plan
Roll the window down and take a stand, if you can understand
Can you love your fellow man
Lend a hand can we try to make a better land
All we got to do it is find ways to come together, for each other, one another, love each other (love each other)
Life's so short, there's so little time (little time)
It's not black and white, you don't know my mind (know my mind)
I tried so hard to make it all so right (just to make it right)
But slipped in the cracks that were in plain sight (in plain sight)
Lend A Hand
Lend A Hand
Back in the day I was young and the sun shined through
And I never thought I'd call the streets home, but I got fooled.
Oh the hard times clouds rolled in
Life went upside down, sometimes you just can't win.
Lend a hand to the people with the broken plan
Roll the window down and take a stand, if you can understand
Can you love your fellow man
Lend a hand where we try 'n make a better land
All we got to do it find ways to come together, for each other, one another, love each other (love each other)
Come together, for each other, one another, love each other (love each other)
Come together, for each other, one another

Hawks On The Line
(Bob Cowsill, Paul Cowsill, Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Paul
When my mind turns me home down that old farm road,
I remember those days, how free we felt.
Every day on our ride, we'd look up at the line.
There'd be ten hawks watchin' in a row.
And as I look back on those memories of mine,
I'll always remember (always remember) those hawks on the line.
Hawks on the line, reminds me of you (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line, watching over you (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line, told you you could fly (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line fly, bye
Hawks on the line fly, bye
The pasture's now covered with new fallin' snow,
And you watched your birds make their way.
The hawks saw you fall down that slope in your way
And your valley floor came to a crawl
And as I think back on those memories of mine,
I'll always remember (always remember) those hawks on the line
Hawks on the line, reminds me of you (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line, watching over you (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line, told you you could fly (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line fly, bye
Hawks on the line goodbye
As they appeared flying straight to their line
They all felt your spirit had left them behind
The pivots ran hard and the combines kept on
Those hawks on the line man they knew you were gone
Knew you were gone, (you were gone) knew you were gone (you were gone) You were gone (knew you were gone)
As snow fades away, it puts spring at my door
It was always your favorite time of year
You watch all your birds fly back into your sky
It always put a tear in your eye
And as I look back on those memories of mine,
I'll always remember (always remember) ten hawks on the line
Hawks on the line, they remind me of you (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line, they watched over you (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line, told you you could fly (Hawks on the line)
Hawks on the line goodbye
Hawks on the line goodbye
Hawks on the line (Hawks on the line Hawks on the line) goodbye

Every Little Secret
(Bob Cowsill, Mary Jo Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bob
You had it all, but then you wanted more,
Took off alone right down a pipe dream
Thought all alone you'd run a better race
So down you went to find the faster pace.
Playing with fire in a dangerous game,
Dodge a bullet, cover up your tracks,
Play in the shadows of a sidebar,
Don't let it show, you wear a poker face,
You'd give up everything for just a taste,
Don't get discovered. . . lays it all to waste
Every little secret, every little lie,
Every hidden corner in the back of your mind
It's in every heartbreak you can find.
Every little secret, every little lie,
Make a deal you wouldn't otherwise
While they're all looking out the front door
Stab in the back just to protect the lie
There lay the bodies of a better life
All for the profit of an extra dime
Every little secret, every little lie,
Every hidden corner in the back of your mind
It's in every heartbreak you can find.
Every little secret, every little lie,
Two thousand reasons why you should be leavin'
But your heart's on fire, heart's on fire
Two thousand reasons but it's so hard to find it off
Out on the ledge where you don't see right
Because your brains on fire, brains on fire
Thinkin' you can push the odds that you can run the table
But it's a losing gamble
Every little secret, every little lie,
Every hidden corner in the back of your mind
It's in every heartbreak you can find.
Every little secret, every little secret, every little lie,
Every little secret, every little lie,
Every little secret, every little lie,
Every little secret, every little lie,

Nuclear Winter
(Peter Bunch and Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Paul and Susan
I watch the northern sky, I watch it every night,
I'm alone in the silo, I'm waiting and I don't know why.
I try and understand. I do the best I can
But I'll never be ready and it makes me feel crazy inside.
There's something that's going on,
I get the feeling it won't be long,
Until the world is wound up so tight, it's ready to break.
So I hold my breath cause I don't want a nuclear winter.
Where it's more than cold and the nighttime never ends.
And I close my eyes cause I don't want a nuclear winter.
Don't want a nuclear winter. Don't want a nuclear winter.
I read the morning news. I can't believe it's true.
When the left says they're right and the right thinks the left is to blame.
I watch their anger grow. What if they lose control?
All I know is that things get a little bit worse every day, yeah.
There is something that's going on,
I get a feeling it won't be long,
Until the world is wound up so tight, it's ready to break.
So I hold my breath cause I don't want a nuclear winter.
Where it's more than cold and the night time never ends.
And I close my eyes cause I don't want a nuclear winter.
Don't want a nuclear winter. Don't want a nuclear winter.
Yeah, I don't ever want to breathe the fire that burn bright as the sun.
I don't ever want to see the day when everything I know is gone, gone. (chant "left, right, left, right")
So I hold my breath cause I don't want a nuclear winter.
Where it's more than cold and the nighttime never ends
And I close my eyes cause I don't want a nuclear winter.
Don't want a nuclear winter. Don't want a nuclear winter.
Don't want a nuclear winter.
Don't want a nuclear winter.
Don't want a nuclear winter.
(chant "left, right, left, right")

Rhythm Of The World
(Paul Cowsill, Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Susan
I pay attention to the light outside
How it moves through the sky
It's my info on line
I hear the trees with the wind blowing through
And the signal is clear telling me what to do
I can read the writing in the sky
We're having way too much fun to slow down
Come and drink from my cup
Tons of love could go round
But please remember there's this place where we live
It can't take too much more, somethings big's gotta give
There's a billion stars up in the sky
Telling all their secrets to the night
Feel the rhythm of the world
Feel the rhythm of the world runnin
I can hear the rhythm of the world hummin
Like something is coming.
Hey now, hey now, hey now, now, now, now, now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, in the sky
If we all agree tonight
Everyone of us in sight
If we could just follow that light
We could make everything right Oh Yeah!
So pay attention to that light outside
How it moves through the sky,
Let it serve to remind
That there's this planet where we all get to live
It can't take too much more, somethings big gonna give
There's a billion stars up in the sky
Telling all their secrets to the night
Feel the rhythm of the world runnin'
Feel the rhythm of the world hummin'
Like something is coming.
Like something is coming.
Like something is coming.
Like something is coming.
Come and feel the Rhythm of the World

Largo Nights
(Bob Cowsill, Wayne Coy)
Lead Singer: Bob
Friends said you're missing me
Feeling blue about everything since you left me
I've been missing you.
I was wrong, that's my mistake
Now you're gone that's the price I pay for these lonely, lonely, lonely - lonely days
Largo Nights
See you when the sun goes down
Largo Nights
Look for me where we used to be
Largo Nights
Makes me feel just like yesterday
Largo Nights
Come home to F L A
Friends said you were asking if I was around
Baby since you left I've been askin' about you too
If placing blame put it all on me
It's not the same like it used to be
These are lonely, lonely, lonely - lonely days
Largo Nights
See you when the sun goes down
Largo Nights
Look for me where we used to be
Largo Nights
Makes me feel just like yesterday
Largo Nights
Come home to F L A
Lonely days please pull the shade
Lonely days make them go away
Lonely day please pull the shade, please pull the shade, please pull the shade

Makes me feel just like yesterday

Goodbye's Not Forever
(Paul Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Paul
I'm sitting in the Yukon, feel like cryin',
Just heard Globes and maps, now I'm dyin'
Daydreamin' through branches,
Good times gone bye, yih, yih
I'm sorry if I said goodbye.
I remember times when you were sayin',
For every bad turn, a good turn turns your way then
We'll look to the future
We'll be side by si-yih-yide
I'm sorry if I made you cry.
Goodbye's not forever, when it comes to you and me,
Goodbye's not forever, I'll be back when you need me,
Goodbye's not forever, wait and see (Just wait and see)
Wait and see, wait and see
We'll look to the future
We'll be side by si-yih-yide
I'm sorry if I made you cry.
There will come a time when then this time's over,
I'll pick you up, you'll be a few years older,
We'll travel together, we'll stand side by si-yih-yide,
I'm sorry if I said goodbye.
Goodbye's not forever, when it comes to you and me,
Goodbye's not forever, I'll be back when you need me,
Goodbye's not forever, wait and see (Just wait and see)
Wait and see, wait and see

The Long Run
(Bob Cowsill, Susan Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bob
In the middle of the night I was thinking about all the things I can do
To bring about my future, to bring about a life
I know I deserve it too.
I think I'll take my changes there's a long run
I think I'll take my chances and get to you
Tell you how I feel (feel), tell you how I feel (feel)
Tell you how I feel (how I feel), tell you how I feel
I was looking for a way to find a better place and time where I can deal with it all.
If I could only survive with you, I'll bide my time I don't care for how long
I'm going to take my chances on the long run
I'll take my chances and get to you.
And tell you how I feel, tell you how I feel
Tell you how I feel, tell you how I feel
Should I take a chance, should I let it go
If I only had the nerve I'd find all the words and let them all flow
Through the ears of the one they were ment to be for, but they already know
And so I'll take my chances on the long run
I'm going to take my chances and get to you
And tell you how I feel, and tell you how I feel
Tell you how I feel, and tell you how I feel, tell you how I feel
Going to take my chances on the long run and tell you how I feel

Try To Believe It Too
(Bob Cowsill, Paul Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Paul
I was thinkin' about you just the other day,
I'm in love, with about you,
I keep asking and all you can say,
Is your feeling won't let you
But could you lie and tell me you love me.
That I'm the only one for you.
Could you tell a lie and try to believe it too.
You see I was tellin' my friends down the street,
That you were my baby,
And they said they'd sure like to meet you,
And I told them maybe,
So could you lie and tell them you need me,
That I am the only one for you,
Could you tell a lie and try to believe it too?
Well I have a dream you keep holding you close in your arms,
And telling me I'm the only one you'll ever love,
But I wake up and find I'm alone in my bed
I cried cuz I know you're not there.
Oh when will you ever love me.
So could you lie and tell them you need me,
That I am the only one for you,
Could you tell a lie and try to believe it too?
Could you tell a lie and try to believe it too?
Could you lie and try to believe it's true?

Katrina
(Bob Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bob
Ooooooh a ooooooh, Ooooooh a ooooooh,
I was born in '54, when a catagory 4 called Carol came ashore,
So I'd been there before, through her stomach on the floor, I could hear that ocean roar,
Well I heard it on the news, gotta empty out the town, there was trouble on the horizon,
You could feel it in the air as it shifted in despair, we were leaving by the thousands
All the clouds started rolling in around us
And that's when the night came, that's when the night came, that's when the night came
K, K, K, Katrina, what did you do to "B", do to "B", do to everyone (to everyone),
K, K, K, Katrina, what did you do to "B", do to me, do to everyone,
What did you do to "B", do to "B", do to everyone,
It's not like I was scared, not like in a panic . . . but I didn't know what I was in for.
The sky dark above I've never seen the likes of, the wind moaning at the front door
I heard crashing everywhere, I couldn't see but heard the wind howl all around me was the darkness
With a sound I've never heard, she was blowing out the windows and was taking out NOLA
The sky sounded out just like an explosion
And that's when the rains came, that's when the rains came, that's when the rains came,
K, K, K, Katrina, what did you do to "B", do to "B", do to everyone (everyone),
K, K, K, Katrina, what did you do to "B", do to "B", do to everyone,
What did you do to "B", do to "B", do to everyone,
K, K, K, Katrina,
K, K, K, Katrina,
Do to everyone
Do to everyone
I tried to make a call, had to leave a message, I was lonely and alive
I went out and walked around, I was praying that I'd find my way out of here in time
There was trouble in the streets, there was looting, there was shooting, people were doing anything to survive
So I thought of Monkey Hill to get a higher view but nothing I could find
I got to levy that I thought could save me, but that's when the wave came, that's when the wave came,
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on . . .
