NOT LIKE BEFORE

Michael Greene
SEE YOUR FRIENDS THEY’RE PASSIN BY  HEAVY HEARTED  ‘BOUT YOUR FREAK    PUSHIN’  PITY FOR THE VIETNAM HERO
I FEEL YOU PICKING UP YOUR PACE   I’M ROLLING CLOSE BEHIND
FEELING LIKE A DECORATED ZERO
THERE’S NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY BABY     THERE’S ONLY YOU AND I

HOLD ME LIKE YOU’LL NEVER LET ME GO
LET THE SNAKES AND DRAGONS FALL TO THE FLOOR
YOU SWEAR THE LOVE THAT’S IN YOUR HEART WON’T CHANGE
BUT I DON’T FEEL LIKE A MAN ANYMORE  I CAN’T LOVE YOU
COMPLETELY MY DEAREST LOVE NOT LIKE BEFORE

STRUCK DOWN LIKE A DOG BENEATH A WHEEL
SENTENCED TO THIS CHAIR WITHOUT AN APPEAL
I REMEMBER HOW YOUR TOUCH WOULD MAKE ME FEEL
BUT NOW I STRUGGLE TO CATCH YOUR EYE
THERE’S  A LION INSIDE ME   WHO’S LOST HIS PRIDE
HOW CAN IT CAN EVER BE LIKE BEFORE

GOD TAKE ME NOW HEAL MY SPIRIT
BREAK THESE CHAINS   HOLDING ME DOWN TO THE GROUND
AND TOUCH YOUR HEART   GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING
YOU’RE  GONNA NEED TO BE STRONG   WHILE I REDEFINE MY LIFE

GRANT ME COURAGE AND HOPE AND CALM ALL THE RAGE INSIDE
GUIDE ME BACK TO YOUR HEART   I PRAY YOU’LL WANT TO BE AT MY  SIDE  
AT MY SIDE

THERE’S NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY BABY      THERE’S ONLY YOU AND I
