“To Annie”

I want to take you up
Where the treetops touch the sky
I want to take you up
No one ever has to cry

Chorus:
Oh let the sun come shining through
Replace the old things with the new
See your greatest dreams come true
Oh let the sun come shining

I want to take you up
Walking hand in hand
I want to take you up
People there they understand

Bridge:
I want to take you up
To another day
I want to take you up
There's room for all to play

Oh will you take me up
If only for a while
Oh will you take me up
All you have to do is smile

“The Spirit of Alabama”

As I walk through the hills
And the spring daffodils
I recall the days of my youth
Of a life meant to be
Full of spirit set free
In the presence of living the truth

Channel:
How I have yearned for your gentle return
Reaching for innocence

Chorus:
Alabama’s Spirit brings us back
To the rock that will not roll
A mountain sermon keeps our lives on track
And renews our heart and mind...
...with Southern Soul

As I walk through this land
I just can’t understand
Why your beauty and grace can’t be seen
Have the eyes grown so tired
That the heart’s uninspired
By the humble pursuit of a dream

Bridge:
What’s been rejected
Just might be perfected
In those who don’t know what they’ve done
Will we believe
In the gifts we receive
When in losing we find we have won

As I walk through the years
And the scars reappear
The signs of a dream that was lost
But the seeds still remain
For the truth stays the same
To love -- regardless of cost

Final Chorus:
Alabama’s Spirit brings us back
To the rock that will not roll
A mountain sermon keeps our lives on track
And renews our heart and mind...
If you seek you will find
It’ll be yours and mine
Sweet Southern Soul

“Here”

Today I lift my eyes to you
For you know what to do
I have seen the truth in you
You told me not to be afraid
So now my plans are made
I will simply trust in you

Channel:
You’re not just something in my dreams
You’re not defined by how things seem

Chorus:
Yes, I believe that you are here with me
You walk with me just like you did before
And I believe that you will stay with me
And guide me to the place where you are

I know our journey will be hard
But you are my reward
All I have I give away
Greater love has no man here
You made it all so clear
When you gave your life away

Channel:
You’re not a story I once read
You’re not a thought I made up in my head

Bridge:
Someday soon I’ll hear your voice
And I’ll make my final choice
To stretch forth these waiting hands to you
