1. Hallowed Ground
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
Chorus:
We're gathered here on hallowed ground
With voices raised, heads bowed down
We're gathered here on hallowed ground
To sing this soul away
I was walking down on Thompson Street
Saw a battered soul, no food to eat
With shakin' hand for me to greet
Said 'I knew you one day'
Said 'I was once a different man
Strong of voice, firm of hand
But even gifts the Angels plan
The time can waste away
Waste away'
Chorus
I realized he'd been my friend
All those years I'd spent with him
The light of recognition dims
The years pulled us away
Said "I had dreams like anyone
Worked so hard, prayed they come
But, I'm a man like anyone
And she walked away,
She walked away"
Chorus
Walking down on Thompson street
Looking for my friend to meet
I saw a black cart in the street
Carryin' him away
I followed to the edge of town
Watched them lay his body down
Said a prayer and turned around
And slowly walked away,
I walked away

My Way To You
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
Kill to keep
the peace
Drink to kill the pain
Fight to stay alive
Live to fight again
A circle of despair
Is what I'm locked into
God, I want to run away and
Make my way to you
I can't bear to
Fight another day
Time has come to
Throw my gun away
And run till I'm home with you
In my darkest dreams
I have never known
Cruelty I've seen
Sorrow I've been shown
Trenches fill with fire
Friends are torn into
God, I've got to run away and
Make my way to you
