FLY words & Music: Robert Allen
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly In the sky
Seems like every day
Life gets in my way
All work and no play
Sad to say
But if I could find my way
I would give most anything
And it just makes my heart break
When I can’t do a thing
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly In the sky
But if I could find my way
I would give most anything
And it just makes my heart break
When I can’t do a thing
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly In the sky
Take me by the hand
Help me understand
I don’t have a plan
Take my hand
But if I could find my way
I would give most anything
And it just makes my heart break
When I can’t do a thing
I just want to fly
I just want to fly
I just want to fly In the sky

DAY OF RECKONING words & Music: Robert Allen & Jay Friedman
I can’t keep on kickin’ this same can down the road
Runnin’ from my problems is startin’ to get old
Don’t know where I’m goin’ just tryin’ to find my way
If all goes well I’ll get there in time for judgement day
You know I try and try but my past is haunting me
It’s hard to live a lie when there’s Judgement beckoning
If I can make things right you know the truth will set me free
Then I can face my life on the day of reckoning
Check my rearview mirror, and don’t like what I see
What’s the point of drivin’ I’m runnin’ outta steam
The past is catchin’ up with me I gotta find some truth
Guess I’m out of options and now there’s no excuse
Because I try and try but my past is haunting me
It’s hard to live a lie when there’s Judgement beckoning
If I can make things right you know the truth will set me free
Then I can face my life on the day of reckoning
I can’t keep on kickin’ this same can down the road
Runnin’ from my problems is startin’ to get old
Don’t know where I’m goin’ just tryin’ to find my way
If all goes well I’ll get there in time for judgement day
You know I try and try but my past is haunting me
It’s hard to live a lie when there’s Judgement beckoning
If I can make things right you know the truth will set me free
Then I can face my life on the day of reckoning
Because I try and try but my past is haunting me
It’s hard to live a lie when there’s Judgement beckoning
If I can make things right you know the truth will set me free
And I’ll have changed my life by the day of reckoning
And I’ll have changed my life by the day of reckoning

LIVE words & Music: Robert Allen
I want to run to the sinking sun
I want to ride to the end of the line
I want to see all there is to show
I want to be all there is cause all that I know is

I want to do everything
I want to go to the end of the road
I want to try til the day that I die
I want to see all there is to show
I want to be all there is cause all that I know is
I want to live I want to sing
I want to do everything

When The Angels Sing words & Music: Robert Allen
When will I see you again
here in my heart
Love never ends
I try and understand
tears fill my eyes
I lost my friend
And when fate draws the curtain down
The world shifts for a moment
The veil lifts when eyes are open
Then I will see you again
with tears in my heart
This love never ends
Life’s a mysterious thing
The soul comes alive
When the angels sing
And when fate draws the curtain down
The world shifts for a moment
The veil lifts when eyes are open
Then I will see you again
My soul comes alive
When the angels sing
And when fate draws the curtain down
The world shifts for a moment
The veil lifts when eyes are open
Then I will see you my friend
with peace in my heart
This love never ends
Life’s a mysterious thing
The soul comes alive
When the angels sing
My soul comes alive
When the angels sing
Your soul comes alive
When the angels sing

Superstar words & music: Robert Allen & G.T. Sullivan
It was 3 in the morning and the concert doors were closed
As our hero waited on the stars inside our clothes
And the ones who were breast fed on the songs he played
Were kindly told to wait outside or go away
We’ve been waiting now on these 5 long years
Sitting in silence biting on our fears
Of how they’d all complain that he should act his age
Instead they made him news and put him on the front page
And the times are hard but you know you got us here
Crying to our mamas that our day is coming near
Cause you know it’s alright
Cause you’re so outta sight
Of how they’d all complain that he should act his age
Instead they made him news and put him on the front page
And the times are hard but you know you got us here
Crying to our mamas that our day is coming near
Cause you know it’s alright
Cause you’re so outta sight
And the times are hard but you know you got us here
Crying to our mamas that our day is coming near
Cause you know it’s alright
Cause you’re so outta sight

SHADOW WALK Words & Music: Robert Allen
And when the sun was falling
All did fade to black
Now the night is calling
Who will have your back?
Do you know my name?
And when the world was turning
Did you call to me?
Now your life is burning
Who will set you free?
Do you know my name?
I can feel your pain
I hear every thought
On your shadow walk
Do you know my name?
And when the sky was falling
All did fade to black
Now my light is calling
I will guide you back
Do you know my name?
I can feel your pain
I hear every thought
On your shadow walk
Do you know my name?
I can feel the shame
Of every soul who’s caught
On their shadow walk
Do you know my name?
Do you know my name?
On your shadow walk
Do you know my name?

Losing My Mind words & Music: Robert Allen
I’m losing my mind and my faith has been fading
Living in the Land of the Free
Too many times has a promise been broken
Too many times talk was cheap
Too many times have the same lies been spoken
Too many times trust was weak
I’m losing my mind and my faith has been fading
Living in the Land of the Free
Too many times has the best been forgotten
Too many dreams out of reach
Too many times have the hopes been for nothin’
Too many sad memories
I’m losing my mind and my faith has been fading
Living in the Land of the Free
Time after time all the plans that are wasting
But it’s one too many times for me
Too many eyes that have
Grown too tired and no longer see
Too many hearts that have
Lost their love and are no longer free
Too many times has a promise been broken
Too many times talk was cheap
I’m losing my mind and my faith has been fading
Living in the Land of the Free
Too many eyes that have
Grown too tired and no longer see
Too many hearts that have
Lost their love and are no longer free
Too many times has the best been forgotten
Too many dreams out of reach
I’m losing my mind and my faith has been fading
Living in the Land of the Free
Time after time all the plans that are wasting
But it’s one too many times for me
We're losing our minds and our faith has been fading
Living in the Land of the Free
Time after time all the plans that are wasting
But it’s one too many times for We

No Exceptions words & music: Robert Allen
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
If you stumble down this road
You’ll find there’s no exceptions
I am no saint but I am not a bad man
I said I ain’t no saint but I am not a bad man
When I fell into this place
It was not part of my plan
Out in the moonlight ghost riders in the sky
Out in the moonlight ghost riders in the sky
And you wonder in the morning
If you’ll still be alive
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
If you stumble down this road
There will be no exceptions
If you wander down this way
There will be no exceptions

And You Know Why words & music: Robert Allen
It’s a sad old day
And it’s hard this way
When I’m all alone and think of you
If I told myself
There was someone else
I might accept that we were through
When will I know better than to love somebody
When will I know better than to try
But since the dreams don’t stay too long
And broken hearts are never strong
Maybe there’s a reason I still cry
And you know why
Now it’s plain to see
That it’s up to me
To forget about what I can’t do
There’s a time to know
When you need to go
And to set your sights on someone new
When will I know better than to love somebody
When will I know better than to try
But since the dreams don’t stay too long
And broken hearts are never strong
Maybe there’s a reason I still cry
And you know why
I tell myself I’m so free
But she was so much of me
The love I felt for someone
Now leaves me cold til I’m numb
I want to rid this sadness from my mind
When will I know better than to love somebody
When will I know better than to try
But since the dreams don’t stay too long
And broken hearts are never strong
Maybe there’s a reason I still cry
And you know why
