Melting Pot Album Lyrics in album order.... Melting Pot Words and Music written by Terry Burns Copyright 2002 You're a melting pot I see you bubbling away You’ll have a lot to digest ‘till your dying day You’ve got a culture that argues within itself You’re a youngster finding out about yourself You’ve got a gender, - they’re not sure how to be They’re not even sure what the public thinks It’s really nothing new But there’s so much more going on, yeah All this technology is the greatest big turn-on, yeah You’ve got your parents chewing on your ear You’ve gotta decipher their truth from fears And what the news today is telling me And the advertisements are selling me Where do you stand now when everything’s moving? How do you know where to stand when it’s changing? Where do you stand now when everything’s moving? Keep on laughing Keep on laughing Yeah yeah I’m melting down I’m melting down I’m melting down I think I’m melting down Did the golden handshake shake you up my friend? It’s a greedy world where the dollar rules their heads, yeah You feel their fingers tighten on your wrists They’re pulling you two ways are opposite They feed you stereotypes shot full of holes An ever-changing world for you to grow I’m melting down I’m melting down I’m melting down I think I’m melting (I think I’m melting) down I think I’m melting I think I’m melting I think I’m melting ________________ It’s Enough Words and Music written by Terry Burns Copyright 2002 I’ve been believin’ there’s nothing in this world that’s impossible Everyone’s needing the one thing in this world that they really want – Two hands that touch Two eyes that care Two ears that dare to try to hear A beating heart that walks around A spark of life ignites the light And look- Tell me it’s enough Yeah it’s enough for you And I’ll tell you it’s enough Yeah It’s enough for me too Peace isn’t easy When dreams are out of reach, it’s impossible Dreams can be fleeting But sometimes we can see what we really are – Two hands that touch Two eyes that care Two ears that dare to try to hear A beating heart that walks around A spark of life ignites the light And look- Tell me it’s enough Yeah it’s enough for you And I’ll tell you it’s enough Yeah It’s enough for me too Two hands that touch Two eyes that care Two ears that dare to try to hear A beating heart that walks around A spark of life ignites the light And look- Tell me it’s enough Yeah it’s enough for me And I’ll tell you it’s enough Yeah It’s enough for you too ___________________ HAPPY GIRL Words and Music written by Terry Burns Copywright 2002 Hey Hey Happy Girl Smilin’ all the while for me You’re gonna be so fine You’ll go down in history Don’t think twice ‘Cause don’t you know that all of us are waiting for a girl like you?

Everybody wants acceptance and love (How to fit in) There’s a lot of things (you might have to hide) If you want to stay in someone’s pocket Better not give too much away, if you don’t want to be pushed out (Don’t want to be pushed out) Everybody wants love and acceptance Everybody wants to know – yeah Everybody wants just to be accepted But what’s the price you have to pay? To be loved that way? (How to fit in) Ohhh loved that way? (How to fit in) To be loved that way? Did you give up a part of yourself then? Being someone else, for acceptance? Will you then be alone in the crowd then? Alone?

So bright. Yeah And the heavens open when we cry out And the heavens open when we cry out _____________________ Brother of Sleep Words and Music written by Terry Burns Copyright 1999 They’re speaking to your soul Strange sounds of the earth Gentle simplicity A single note from a songbird Softly, - the creaking reeds A drop of water falling near your head An autumn leaf falls to your stony bed And you say he passes this way? The Maker of all things? And the moon and stars bow down as you make all things resound Everything resounds The crickets in their dens The wind has whipped the clouds, Rushing to release the trees You’re crying out in wonder Lost in the moment’s power, No need to resist this grace Now nature’s hidden joy crescendos there The earth begins to open up your ears And you say he passes this way? The Maker of all things? And the moon and stars bow down as you make all things resound Yeah Brother of sleep Feel her heart beat She’s made only for you An identical rhythmic tune You’re breathing in time The beats in her chest must remain close to you ‘Cause you can’t abide the stillness With your hands on the church organ You orchestrate the wind Calling on creation to join you in this place All the people listen Their eyes towards the skies What fool is this who God has sent to open up our eyes? Brother of sleep Feel her heart beat She’s made only for you An identical rhythmic tune You’re breathing in time The beats in her chest must remain close to you ‘Cause you can’t abide the stillness Brother of sleep Feel her heart beat She’s made only for you An identical rhythmic tune __________________ Friend Tonight Words and Music written by Terry Burns Copyright 1993 Last night I caught you crying over spilt milk ‘Bout some people who have walked out of your life Some were scared and some are dead and some were fickle Well, if it’s a crime just to be someone who cares, Then you, you are guiltier than sin And you, you will always be my friend In the dark there is a place where you can go, yeah Your silent tears, I only hear them in your voice Don’t blame yourself, just realize that sometimes it’s just life People change. You might have to say goodbye Though inside, something tells you it’s not right Still you, you will make a friend tonight. You’ve got me feeling alright Yeah you’ve got me feeling alright And you’re gonna make a friend tonight So last night I caught you crying over spilt milk ‘Bout some people who have walked out of your life I sat and listened but I couldn’t help but wonder – well, Is it a crime when people refuse to care? Then turn, turn away like nothing’s left? But you, you will always be my friend. You’ve got me feeling alright Yeah you’ve got me feeling alright And you’re gonna make a friend tonight _______________________ Mona Words and music written by Terry Burns Copyright September 2002 Sweet sister Mona I know you don’t like to complain They’ll tell you to get over If you remind them of their pain Well you sail the sea Emotion Its towering waves, so steep Sometimes you can’t get over, no Sometimes you can’t get to sleep Sweet sister Sweet sister Sweet sister Mona Now you’re a brother in arms Just like a million others Alone with your defence disarmed Well they caught, they caught you crying How come they’re not surprised? Go ahead and weep for the man who was taught to run from the burning in his eyes Oh oh oh oh sweet sister Sweet sister cry cry cry Oh oh oh oh sweet sister Let it out. Let it out. Someone’s been lying. They’ve been telling us lies. Sweet sister Mona I know you’d like to wait It’s getting harder to live with this infernal weight Well they caught, they caught you lying How come you’re not surprised?
