GREAT UNKNOWN
I was,
Standing on the side lines
Watching all them players flying high
Under the burning lights
While I just fell behind
And when I tried
But I was just too shy
So then I made up my mind
to runaway and hide
but somehow you saw me through the shadowy night
Now we’re burning down the road
You and I alone
Heading to a great unknown
Well I feel it my bones
It something more hope
Heading to a great unknown
Now my eyes,
They were closed so tight
Well I could never really read the signs
Nothing ever seemed to work out right
Like I was always in a losing fight
And I tried
To keep on the inside
All the ties that bind
I didn’t want anyone to find
But you cut them like a knife
Now we’re burning down the road
You and I alone
Heading to a great unknown
I feel it it’s my bones
It’s something more than hope
Heading to a great unknown
Now tonight
I’m starting on a new life
And it wont pass my
Going to take the wheel and drive
Together we’re going to ride

Nicolena
Words and music by Michael Meeking
(Verse 1)
Well if you see her,
Nicolena
Wont you tell her
That I really need her
To come home
I really need her to come home
Well I’m out on the corner
Just searching for her
Staring to wonder
Is this what she wanted
Well I don’t know
Honey please come home
I put an add in the paper
Hoping for information
But I’m getting frustrated
Just sitting here waiting by the phone
Cause someone’s got to know
(Chorus)
So Nicolena won’t you please come home
So Nicolena won’t you please come home
(Verse 2)
The house seems so empty
Now she’s not there with me
Cause I’d never believe that she could have left me
Here alone
Honey please come home
And I go to the places
where she know all the faces
and everyone says
they haven’t seen her in ages
Where did she go?
Well I just don’t know
(Chorus)
Well there must be a real good reason
Why she’s not here with me
Was there something and I didn’t see it
And it made her want to Leave
If I said something
Well I didn’t mean it
Know that I am sorry
Come back honey and will work it out
We can better you’ll see
Oh Please
(Verse 3)
I keep hoping
that at any moment
They be a knocking
And she’ll come strolling through door
Just like it was before
(Chorus)
So Nicolena won’t you please come home
So Nicolena won’t you please come home

Take 'Em Out
Words and music
by Michael Meeking
Verse 1
I don’t really need
All these material things
Getting in my way
Cause they don’t let me breathe
And I just can’t see
What really makes me happy
They just keep me bound
They just bring me down
And they just leave me empty
Chorus
Take 'em out
Drag ‘em down
And push them all away
Verse 2
Well I don’t really need
all these pretty things
getting in my face
Cause I don’t really want
all the things I’ve got
if they don’t make me happy
Chorus
Take 'em out
Drag ‘em down
And push them all away x2
Bridge
coming down on me
like I just can’t breathe
coming down on me
like I just can’t breathe
falling down, down on me
Chorus

Where you going to go
Words and music by Michael Meeking
Verse1
Where you going to go
When all your bridges are blown
And you got no way back home
Where you going to go
When the curtains come down on your show
And those pretty lights have lost their glow
And you can’t make it on your own
Where you going to go?
(Chorus)
Will you run with the river down to the sea?
Try to find some meaning as you stare into the deep
Look at your reflection tell me what see
Is there something missing
Something that you really need
What do you really need?
(Verse2)
What you going to do
When you’ve lost all that you knew
And your debts are finally due
What you going to do
When those crazy days are through
And you’re staring at the truth
When it’s there in front of you
What you going do baby do baby do?
(Chorus)
Will you run with the river down to the sea?
Try to find some meaning as you stare into the deep
Look at your reflection tell me what see
Is there something missing
Something that you really need
What do you really need?

Little Lie
Words and music Michael Meeking
Verse 1
Oh my little lie
I thought you'd gone away
Oh my little lie
Your coming round again
Oh my little lie
The trust you devastate
Oh my little lie
What love you lay to waist
Chorus
Oh my, how I lied
Cause I was too afraid
That the truth might, make her take flight
And leave me here, with my shame
Verse 2
Oh my little lie
Such cherished faith you break
Oh why did I not find
The courage to be brave
I my how I tried
To save us both from pain
Oh why did I deny
When I was lead astray
Chorus
Oh my little lie
The Words I wish I didn't say
Oh my how I tried
To cover up my guilt and shame
Verse 3
Now she has seen the light
The truth, always finds a way
Now I’m, wishing I
Could go back to yesterday
Now I see in her eyes
Filled with such distain
She’s was my sunshine
And Her love I’ve betrayed
Oh my little lie
I thought you'd gone away
Oh my little lie
Your coming round again
Oh my little lie
The trust you devastate
Oh my little lie
What love you lay to waist

Dark Clouds
Words by Michael Meeking
Music byMichael Meeking and Roger Bergodaz
(Verse1)
When those dark clouds are coming down
And there looks like there is no escape
When those dark clouds are coming down
Sometimes all you can do is just wait
When only sadness seems to abound
And you try to, endure the pain
When that dark clouds is coming down
There’s an aching that’s so hard to tame
Chorus
This is the night before the dawn
And in this the time a new hope can be born
We got to try and make it through the storm
It will pass by if we can just hold on
Verse2
Winds of despair wont cease to howl
The light has gone away
You know it will come back around
Day by day this season will change
And the darkness can overwhelm
Make you feel like you’ve nothing but shame
Even though you may doubt yourself
The sun will rise again
Chorus
Verse 3
So when those dark clouds are coming down
Just know that they will not remain
And You can see it out
Sometimes all you can do is just wait

Far From Anywhere
Words and music by Michael Meeking
When the days are hard
And the times are tough
And you need someone
That you can trust
When its all to much
And you’ve had enough
Just call my name
For that healing touch
When you feel your drifting that’s when I’ll bring you back again
And you think you’re sinking, you know going do the same
Chorus
And I’ll be your anchor yeah
When you’re feeling far from anywhere
And I’ll be your anchor yeah
When you’re feeling far from anywhere
When the skies are dark
And they cloud your heart
And all you want
Is to feel some love
When the day is done
And your hope is gone
Just call my name
And I will come
When you feel your drifting that’s when I’ll bring you back again
And you think you’re sinking, you know going do the same
Chorus
And I’ll be your anchor yeah
When you’re feeling far from anywhere
And I’ll be your anchor yeah
When you’re feeling far from anywhere

Son you should know it
You’re going get lonesome
Travelling that road that you on
Weather your rolling
Or broken down nowhere
Sometimes that feeling will come
When those dark notions
Start taking over
It can be hard to feel strong
When your wheels are in motion
And you Got to keep going
Some times you just need to hold on
Chorus
When you feel Lonesome when you feel sad
try to just think of the things you still have
It’s hard to move forward if you only look back
Got to remember good times will come again
Verse2
Sometimes you’ll be breaking
hard turns you’’ be taken
And you won’t know which way to go
when your hearts aching
And you feel forsaken
don’t forgot you’ve known
It might be so frustrating
When you’re just there waiting
For there to be
But just have some patience
For it to stop raining
Soon a new days gonna dawn
Chorus
When you get Lonesome when you feel sad
Got to just think of the things you still have
It’s hard to move forward if you’re just looking back
Got to remember good times will come again
