Music Lyrics for "This Side of Heaven" - Songs by S. Pollaro Copyright 2005
God Only Knows
His eyes are like the ocean, as blue as blue can be
His hair is like a wheat field, as far as you can see
His smile is like the brightest star that lights the northern sky
He will not go to sleep without his mama by his side
Her dress has yellow daisies, sewn for her last spring
The silver chain around her neck holds her grandma’s ring
Her perfect little lips are pressed inside a homemade card
Without her rag doll Ann she wouldn’t wander off too far
Their pictures are on cartons, billboards and in stores
Let’s bow our heads and pray we’ll find each child we’re looking for
God only knows…if they are warm and safe tonight
God only knows…if they are angels by his side
God only knows…if they’re gonna be alright
Only God knows…….Oh………
Forty days and forty nights of nothing else but rain
Could never drown all the tears…Lord help to ease their pain
God only knows…if they are warm and safe tonight
God only knows…if they are angels by his side
God only knows…if they’re gonna be alright
Only God knows…..Oh……
All the reasons why…..God only knows
Pray for them tonight….’cuz God only knows
Without her rag doll Ann she wouldn’t wander off too far

“I’ll Pray For Them”
I didn’t see you go
I couldn’t hold your hand
I’m sorry you died that way…for me
Some people say it’s so
Others they don’t believe
They say there’s no guarantee…in the words we read
But I know you were here
Your story I believe…set me free
(Chorus)
Jesus…sweet Jesus… God bless… your reasons
Jesus…my friend…I’ll pray for them…to understand…I’ll pray for them
I’m down on my knees for you
It’s the least I can do
For someone who loves me so…through and through
For those who don’t see your light
I pray that someday they might
Learn what the truth can bring…to their lives
I’ll tell them you’re still here
Help them to believe…set them free (repeat chorus 2 times
..............................................................................................................
“Make No Mistake”
Make no mistake…..the Lord is your maker my friend
Make no mistake…..the Lord brings each day to an end
And he is the one…..who wakes up the sun
He’s the cry of a baby, he’s the smile of a child
The reflection on the water and the flowers growing wild
He’s the reason, don’t you doubt it
Make no mistake about it……he’s in you……….and he’s in me
He’s the one….he’s the only one….He’s the door….he’s the key
He’s the one….he’s the only one….He’s the throne and he’s the king……
Just Believe
Make no mistake…..the Lord is your maker my friend
Make no mistake…..for each and everyone there is a plan
He is the one……to thank for his son
He’s the hand of a father, when love is not around
The shadow of a mountain and the rivers flowing down
He’s the reason, don’t you doubt it
Make no mistake about it…….he’s in you…..and he’s in me
He’s the one….he’s the only one….He’s the door…..he’s the key
He’s the one….he’s the only one….He’s the throne and he’s the king…..
(repeat chorus…………)

“Another Month of Sundays”
There was never enough me time
And the days just seem to fly by…same old story
Spinning hopelessly around
My purpose never to be found… til there was you
Like lightening in the sky
You cleared the darkness from my eyes and there was glory
Now I praise your holy name
My life will never be the same and that’s the truth
(Chorus)
Another month of Sundays
And I’d fail to worship you
My heart kept telling me to go there
My head had better things to do
Did a fear of God control me
Or was the devil in my shoes
Either way a month of Sundays
Would come and go without you
(Turnaround lead – verse melody line)
(Repeat chorus)
(Tag) Either way a month of Sundays…won’t come and go without you
..............................................................................................
“The Bottom of Myself”
Sometimes…..I think I can do it all
But most times…..I’m feeling small…
This time…..I looked deep into my soul
And that’s where…..the truth is told
I’m at the bottom of myself
And Lord I need your help
To take away these lonely days
I’ve got a family of my own
But I still feel alone
The bottom of myself says “time to pray”
Lord can you hear me…..cause I’m in a mood
Lord can you fill me….fill me up with you
Lord can you see me….Lord (refrain) will you lead me (stop)
I’m at the bottom of myself
And Lord I need your help
To take away these lonely days
I’ve got a family of my own
But I still feel alone
The bottom of myself says “time to pray”
Lord can you hear me…..cause I’m in a mood
Lord can you fill me….fill me up with you
Lord can you see me….Lord will you lead me…Lord you can free me…..
From the bottom of myself
Lord I need your help…. The bottom of myself says “you’re the way”
....................................................................................................
“This Side of Heaven”
This side of heaven
I’ll walk with you
The world needs a change now
We all know that’s true
Now I know the way
I can lead them too
This side of heaven
I’ll walk with you
This side of heaven
We’ve lost our way
A wise man once told me
All we need to do is pray
Well I’ve done my time
Peace of mind is overdue
This side of heaven
I’ll walk with you
(Chorus)
Oh this side of heaven
I’ll never turn away
Then one day I’ll join you
What a gift for having faith
And thank you for waiting on me
To find my way
This side of heaven…I’ll pray (verse instrumental)
(repeat chorus)
(tag) This side of heaven…yea this side of heaven…this side of heaven…I’ll pray

“Tomorrow Means Today”
Somewhere a baby’s crying
Her mama left her lying
In her crib while she talked hours on the phone
Somewhere a young boy’s wishing
His dad would take him fishing
But it’s Sunday and the football games are on
The sun comes up the sun goes down
The days just fade away
It’s funny how the things we need to say and do can wait
Somewhere a young girl’s dreaming
Her parents would believe in
Her desire to see her name in lights someday
Somewhere someone’s forgetting
The good Lord’s always listening
For all the prayers that they may need to pray
The sun comes up the sun goes down
The days just fade away
It’s funny how the things we need to say and do can wait
(chorus) Tomorrow… p.2
There’s always tomorrow
At least that’s what they say
I look and see the more things change
The more they stay the same
There’s always tomorrow
But some things just can’t wait
And when it comes to loving you
Tomorrow means today
(bridge)
Climb a mountain sail the ocean
Don’t let your life just pass you by
Take the time to say I love you
‘Cuz any moment could be goodbye…yea…..
(repeat chorus)
(tag)When it comes to loving you…when it comes to loving you…when it comes to loving you…tomorrow…means….today
...............................................................................................
“Undeniable”
One thing in this life we can be sure of
Is that the Lord up above
Knows us by name
And our hearts hold a key to peace and eternity
He made us all just the same
And the truth will remain
(chorus)
It’s undeniable
The way he loves us all
Open up your heart
And the Lord will call
He’s everywhere it seems
He’ll come into your dreams
He’ll be there when you fall
Oh ‘cuz afterall…it’s undeniable
(bridge)
Lord, help us all, to live by your word
And share all the joy your love brings
You’re the sun, you’re the stars, you’re our… sea to shining sea
And in the end…your love’s all…that we need
(repeat chorus)(modulate and repeat chorus)
(tag) Oh ‘cuz afterall….he’s undeniable
...............................................................................................
“With You”
With you…I can say it all…anytime
And with you…I’m not afraid to fall…behind
I’m not sure that I could live without you in my heart
It’s clear to me that you’re the one holding all the cards
Oh with you Lord I do adore
This life that’s bound with you around
My fears embraced I feel your grace
This walk I’ll make with you…oh with you
With you…I’ve been flying high…so high
And with you…I can reach the sky…yea
With your love and guiding hand always by my side
When life gets rough I know for sure
Your angels hear my cry
Oh with you Lord I do adore
This life that’s bound with you around
My fears embraced I feel your grace
This walk I’ll make with you…oh
With you Lord I do adore
This life that’s bound with you around
My fears embraced I feel your grace
This walk I’ll make with you….Oh with you….yea
...............................................................................................
“You Can’t Take It With You”
You can’t take it with you…no you can’t take a thing
Not the car that you’re driving…nor a big diamond ring
Not the score of a ballgame…nor the judgement of man
Will impress our Lord Almighty…when it’s our turn to stand…oh no…
(chorus)
We’ll stand before his glory and he’ll ask what we’ve done
Don’t try to tell a story, he knows the outcome
Will we say we lived a faithful life loving Christ
Or hang our heads shameful…
You can’t take it with you…no you can’t take a thing
Not the times we were selfish…when our neighbor needed grace
Not a house that cost a fortune…nor the dime we didn’t spare
Will impress our Lord Almighty…when we’re each standing there…oh no….
(repeat chorus 2 times)
(tag) you can’t take it with you
...............................................................................................
“Called Out”
This ‘ole life is filled with strife
Rules and regulations
From the start there’s toil and trouble
Trials and tribulations
One bright thing that we know for sure
Is that we’re all burning candles
The Lord won’t put upon our backs
More weight than we can handle
The trouble with most folks today
Is lack of strong conviction
They never think of Jesus’ death
Nor of his resurrection
Our Lord’s alive and the other side
Is where he’s waiting for us
We’ll shout his name and sing his praises
That’s why he has called us
(Chorus)
Now we’re called called out
We’ve got to stand and sing for Jesus
Called called out
Hear that word believe us
Called out to let his light shine through
When changes happen in your heart…
You’ll be called out too
So raise your voice and let his love
Shine through to all your brothers
And testify that he’s our Lord
And there will never be another
Jesus loved us more than life
And he gave it on a tree
The magnitude of God’s pure love
Was sent to set us free
..............................................................................................................
Music Lyrics for "On My Way"
"On My Way"
In my fantasies, I see myself alive and free
But the world won’t let it be, without a fight from me
It gets hard to make a stand, I get tired and drown again
But I know that there’s a plan and I’m flying on my way
So let me love each day, don’t let me turn away
Live and learn and laugh and pray, and I’m on my way
Yes, I’m on my way
Don’t let it drag me down
This little world that turns around
Pick me up, don’t let me down
I’m on my way; yes, I’m on my way
I’m always way too proud right before I get knocked down
Down to earth is where I’m found and I get up off the ground
I don’t know what you’ve been told; the simple life is hard to hold
So start yourself along that road and be flying on your way
Chorus
And when the nighttime comes alive, show me the way to the light
Burn it bright, yeah.
Chorus
On my way, yes I’m on my way
On my way, yes I’m on my way
On my way, yes I’m on my way

"ONE HAPPY FAMILY"
There’s a woman every Sunday, her chair parked in the aisle
The oxygen she carries never hides her gracious smile
A charming older couple dressed in their Sunday best
Would never take a second glance at the blue jeans on their left
A three year old with pink barrettes stands dancing to the music
Her baby brother kicks his legs can’t wait till he can use them
A gentleman who battles every day to see tomorrow
Will close his eyes and feel the prayers his friends are there to offer
Pre-chorus
When the congregation sings out loud you can feel the heavens open
No doubt the Lord is smiling down so proud to hear their voices
Chorus
One happy family the Lord has made them
They just keep coming there to join the celebration
A welcome feeling one big reunion
All their lives an open book inside those walls
Oh what a feeling, one happy family
The preacher keeps his focus on the world they’re in today
The issues that surround them, close to home and far away
He’ll smile down at his sweet wife, and they can see his heart run over
He stands up tall and leads them all just like a mighty warrior
Pre-chorus
Chorus
One happy family
..............................................................................................................
"HOLD ME NOW"
I wrote a letter to God to calm myself
To get some things off my chest
I put it in the mail without an address
But I think He just might get it
I hope You’re not too disappointed in me
It’s been a while since I’ve written
I’m not half the man I thought that I would be
Makes me wonder what I’m missin’
Chorus
Hold me now, cause the whole world seems to be pullin’ at me
Hold me now, please keep me sane and wishin’
Let me know, that You live and love and hurt like me
Hold me now
My son is three years old now, haven’t You seen
He asks so many questions
Sometimes I do not want to answer him
Because the truth is so depressin’
I tell him always to turn to You
You’ll quiet all his questions
But in truth I still have a few of my own
But I act like I’m not guessin’
Chorus
Jesus hold me now
Great I Am, please hold me now
Sweet Lamb of God, please hold me now
Jesus hold me now
