During The Storm
Words / Music: Gregg Hart
©2024 Midiboy Music
I see the clouds are rolling in and darkening the skies tonight
I see the wind is picking up and blowing with all it’s might
It won’t be long…the thunder will crack
It won’t be long…the rain will fall down
It will fall down
If I remember just one thing I was taught when I was young
It’s don’t you worry when the storm gets rough and you think you’ve lost sight of the sun
For I know….
CHORUS
When the rain comes down
And the storm begins
You know it won’t be long
The sun will shine again
REPEAT
If the clouds start rolling in and darkening your skies tonight
And If the wind starts picking up and blowing with all it’s might
Just be ready for when the thunder cracks
You might get wet, oh, when the rain falls down
And it will fall down
If you remember just one thing that I will tell you before I am done
Don’t you worry when the storm gets rough, don’t you ever lose sight of the sun.
For I know…
CHORUS 2x
It will shine again (4x)
Remember during the storm even if you do not see it
The sun is always there (The sun is always there)
Remember during the storm even if you do not know it
The sun is always there (The sun is always there)
It is always there.
CHORUS 4x
Inside The Mirror

Looking inside the mirror
Looking inside the mirror. Oh yeah
The things that you see! (When you’re)
Looking at life from inside the mirror.
Many times I have had regrets about the choices that I made.
Many times looking back the price is already paid.
Wanting to make that goal I stepped out with abandon.
The unforeseen looking back at me slightly with a grin.
And I just did not see it coming my way, until it had already passed.
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are always clearer
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are always clearer
Many times I knew I should have kept my eyes wide open.
Many times I went ahead just wishing and hoping.
Thinking that I could cause things to happen by my own hands.
The path I thought that would me lead to you would have left me being damned.
And I could not see the error in my way.
Until the mistake was made.
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are always clearer
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are so much clearer
Twenty-twenty
Twenty-twenty
OH! Looking at life from inside the mirror – my choices reflecting back on me
And somehow it’s been made much clearer.
Amazing the things that you see!
Looking at life from inside the mirror.
I can see things, oh, so much clearer.
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are always clearer
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are so much clearer
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – things I’ve done are always clearer
Twenty-twenty inside the mirror – looking back I see it all much clearer
The Melody
Words / Music: Gregg Hart

There was a time when I did not have a song
Just some words that could not find a rhyme
Every melody I wrote just came out sounding wrong
No rhythm – completely out of time
Then I found you and now I have a song to sing
The chorus is an earworm that is here to stay
I’ll sing the tune for the melody you bring
And the song that we write will carry us away
CHORUS
(And you can) sing the melody / And I will join with the harmony
Then I will sing the melody / And you can join with the harmony, yeah
You are the singer and I am the song
If you write the words then I’ll sing along
The song we sing is about happiness
And it’s a song that lives in both of us
CHORUS
(As I) sing the melody / Will you join with the harmony
Then you can sing the melody / And I will join with the harmony
(2nd time) Yeah
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
So let everyone hear our song
So that they can sing along
We’ll show them how it goes
And all the world will know
CHORUS 2:
(How to) sing the melody / And we will join with the harmony
Then we can sing the melody
(1st time) And they will join in the harmony, yeah
(2nd time) Will you please join with the harmony, yeah
REPEAT CHORUS
Will you sing with me? Come and sing with me.
Won’t you sing with me? Come sing!

Oh Lord, I really blew it this time
(I really blew it good)
I got caught walking on the thin line
(Between evil and good)
Now I reap the sins that I sow
(Like You said I would)
And I feel so alone
(And that don’t feel so good)
Oh Lord
I feel that
I can’t turn my life around
Because I’m standing on shaky ground
The more I struggle the more I fall
Can anybody hear my call?
Oh Lord, I pray to You above
(I’m in the rut of sin)
Wrap me in your arm of Love
(And forgive me once again)
Please guide me to the narrow road
(Lead the way once again)
Now I know I’m not alone
(You’ve cleansed me of my sin)
Oh Lord
Without You
I can’t turn my life around
Because I’m standing on shaky ground
The more I struggle the more I fall
Can anybody hear my call?
Oh Lord, hear my cry
And please lift me up so high
Plant my feet on solid ground
Help me turn my life around

I can’t seem to get anything right.
Would I even be ready to face you tonight, no
I try my best to do right by you
I just end up being the fool, yeah yeah
I don’t deserve you, how can it be
That you just keep on lovin’ me yeah
It seems too good, too good to be true
That I am still loved by you
Please tell me you won’t give up on me
Because I gave up on me long ago
Please tell me that you’ll be there for me
I just need to know…just need to know
You should not fear, I’ll never turn my back on you

When these troubles seem like they’ll never cease (they will, one day)
Everything is spinning out of control (It seems, but it’s not…

I want to look into your eyes
And feel the warmth of Your presence
And your hand on my face
Here I am again
Missing you…I’ll wait for you
How long will I go without seeing your face
How long will I live without hearing your voice
You captured my heart and kept it with you
So when we’re apart, I’m without my heart too
(I’m without my heart too)
Why this present distance?
I just cannot understand it
Have I wandered from you
Or is it just a part of living
Living in this world
How long will I go without seeing your face
How long will I live WITHOUT your sweet embrace (yeah)
You captured my heart and kept it with you
So when we’re apart, I’m without my heart too
I long for your face
I need to hear your voice
Your presence is life
And my heart is yours
There’s no one like you
No one else will do
You have captured this heart now ruined for all but you
You have captured this heart now ruined for all but you oooh yeah yeah
You have captured this heart now ruined….it’s been ruined for all but you
Never Give Up

Sometimes it seems the world’s against you.
Sometimes it seems there’s no way out.
You cannot go on one more minute
You wonder what life’s all about.
Please remember these words I say to you…
CHORUS
Never give up, never never give up, never never never give up!
Never give up, never never give up, never never never give up!
When it feels like you are falling way behind
Don’t let your head hang down in defeat
Tomorrow seems it will never arrive
And you just feel so incomplete
Please remember these words I say to you…
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
Keep holding on to my love
Never let it go. Never let it go.
My love will help you to endure
I will never let you go. Never let you go.
REPEAT CHORUS 3x
Never give up!

I think I’m going crazy – cannot take it – can you help me?
All the world’s a side show – crazy sideshow – out to trick me
Are you real – am I real – What is real anyway?
Sick of social networks – Twittering jerks and TikTok flirts
Am I safe here – Are they listening – Where can I hide?
Are you real – am I real? What is real anyway?
What is real anyway?
What is real anyway?
There are street-corner workers – dancing twerkers – cyber lurkers
Global warming – Nuclear war – We’re done for
Are you real – am I real – what is real anyway?
There’s no time to sit down – gotta get there – running so late
Be right with you – take a number – going crazy
Are you real – am I real? What is real anyway?
What is real anyway?
Are you real anyway?
What is real anyway?
Are you real anyway?
What am I doing – where am I going – where am I now?
How do I get there? How’d I get here? Am I lost?
Don’t you ever wonder? Is anything real any more?
I need silence – please be quiet – I can’t hear you
Are you speaking? Am I listening? Am I hearing?
Are you real? Yes you’re real! Please be real to me today
Please be real to me today (4x)
Please be real today
You are real today oh ooh oh ooh yeah
You were real always (always real)
You are real in all ways

I close my eyes and I drift away to a place that I can hear you say I love you
Sometimes you seem so far away even though I know you always say I’ll never leave you
And I know that what you say is true, I know it’s me and it’s not you because you love me
I need to learn to trust you now, and you’ve given me no reason to doubt that you love me
Oh my love I hope you realize, that when I look into your eyes, I’ll always love you
I’m never all that far away, just call me up and I will say how much I love you
I want you to know that my love is true, and I am completely devoted to you and only you
I thank the Lord for giving me you, for your loving heart that’s always true, please know that I love you
I love you
I love you
Whoa oh oh
Lets close our eyes and drift away to that place that we will always say I love you
And we will never turn away and things will always turn out OK, when we say I love you
And you know one thing that is true, no matter what we’ll make it through, whatever happens
This love we have that God gave to us, is built on love, faith and trust, and were thankful, yeah
Whoa oh oh
Oooh oooh Oh oh
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Lion Tamer

Defender of truth - Enemy of the lie
Evil beware - For your foe am I
I stand for the right - And tell wrong to scram -
A lion tamer I am
But some days it's tough - To answer the call
The lions are big, yeah - And I feel so small
What if it's not - What I'm meant to be?
A lion tamer - me?
Taming lions - What a calling
But maybe not one I should call my own
One against many - I'm surrounded
Standing is so hard when you're standing all alone
But I can't give up - Truth is worth fighting for
So I won't give in - To this fear anymore
This is my calling - I will not be ashamed
Cuz I'm a lion tamer - and the lions must be tamed
I protect the weak - And defend the poor
Those who harm my friends - Are asking for war
Attacking the helpless - This I defy
A lion tamer am I
But too often power's - A double-edged sword
And I destroy - With the force of a word
I've become that - Which I once fought
A lion tamer I'm not
Taming lions - What a calling
But maybe not one I should call my own
I'm a fighter - Not a tamer
Peacemaking's a skill I cannot hone
But I can't give up - Friends are worth fighting for
I love to fight - But I must love peace more
This is my calling - And it must be claimed
I'm a lion tamer - and the lions must be tamed, yeah
Taming lions - What a calling
But humbled am I to call it my own
It's a struggle (it’s a struggle)- To keep going (to keep going)
It is my call, but I'm still failure-prone
But I can't give up - Good is worth fighting for
And when I fail (and I will fail) - I'll just try once more
This is my calling - Let it be proclaimed:
I'm a lion tamer - and the lions must be tamed
To Be There

Seeing the panic in your eyes
Feeling the fear in you rise
You never had to face anything like this
In the path of a freight train
Hoping it would miss
CHORUS
I am here to listen
If that is what you need
You know that I care for you
You can count on me
Just try to hold on to faith
God is still there for you
And so am I if you need me
Cuz I’ve been there too
Cuz You know you can count on me
To be there to hold
To be there to listen
To be there to care
Until the fire passes
Until the fire passes
I may not know all the words to say
I can only think to pray
Because I don’t have the answers
I cannot stop the hurt
I can only dry the tears
REPEAT CHORUS
I’ll be there (8x)
The Fork
Words & Music: Gregg Hart

I remember when I was young sitting at the dinner table
I was pretty sure if I ate those greens, that it would be fatal
But I held my nose, and got it down, though I was barely able
The dog wouldn’t even eat the one that I dropped off of the table
But I ate what I could because I knew what was next
It was the end of the week, and I knew what that meant
After a long week of work, Momma loved to bake
My most favorite thing was when she made her chocolate cake…and when dad said…
Everyone keep their fork,
Because the best is yet to come. Everyone keep their fork
The best is yet to come!
Many years later, with the love of my life, at my parents house for dinner
Getting married in a week, my dad was so proud, you could see his eyes glimmer
Momma spent the day preparing the meal, there was no momma better
She made a roast, potatoes and greens, which I ate even though they were bitter
As we were cleaning up, I knew what was next
It was the end of the week, and you know what that meant
Now that Mom was retired, she had more time to bake
She made my favorite thing, her famous chocolate cake…and then dad said…
Everyone keep their fork
Because the best is yet to come. Everyone keep their fork
The best is yet to come! (repeat)
Ooh ooh. Keep your fork! Ooh yeah, ooh.
Time rolled on, and mom was gone
Dad wasn’t well, he didn’t have long
As I stood by him in his hospital room
He said to me “I’m going to be leaving pretty soon,
But please don’t worry, I’ll be OK”
I knew he’d be gone later that day
As my tears fell down, he wiped them away
And these were the last words he had to say
I’ve kept my fork
The best is yet to come. The best is yet to come.
I’ve kept my fork
