Hush
By Gregg Inhofer

Hush, don’t try to speak right now just listen.
Try with all your might to find that place inside that frightens you.
You know it all too well.
I just want to hold you close in my heart.
Why is it so hard for me?
You trusted me before my dear.
But now you cannot see.
See me as I am, I’m a music man.
Trying to follow my destiny.
This is all I am, just a music man.
I only want to be all I’ll be, but I didn’t choose music, music chose me.
I tried to ignore the signs for too long.
Just maybe the sun would find me hiding in the shadows pretending to be blind.
Take me as I am, just a music man.
I only wish I had more to give.
Giving all is hard to a music man.
I only want to be all I’ll be but I didn’t find music, music found me.
I can’t turn around again to find you.
You’ll just have to come to me.
If you really want to be here, then love will set you free.
Love me if you can, I’m a music man.
Quietly trying to find his way. Take me as I am, just a music man.
I only want to be all I’ll be but I didn’t choose music, music chose me.
No I didn’t find music, music found me.
I never made music, music made me.
I’m a music man.

Light at the End of the Tunnel
By Gregg Inhofer

My world is closin’ in and I don’t know why.
I thought I did everything the way I had to.
Man, I need to find the strength, just to get me by.
I can’t believe I’ve been sentenced to a life of sadness.
So Lord tell me there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and it’ll be OK.
I can take a little heat if I have to.
Let me know that I’ll survive at the end of this struggle and live to love again.
But, if it could be your will, just let it pass me by.
I gave it everything I had and almost lost my soul.
Sometimes I don’t know where I found the will to keep tryin’.
But I do believe I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m either goin’ up or down.
And I know for sure which way I wanna go before dyin’.
So Lord tell me there’s a light at the ned of the tunnel and it’ll be OK.
I can take a little heat if I have to.
Let me know that I’ll survive at the end of this struggle and live to love again.
But, if it could be your will, just let it pass me by.
Armed with truth and clarity I’m still standin’ still.
I don’t understand how you could think the things you do.
6 long years is a mighty long time for a prophecy to be fulfilled.
And now I probably won’t be able to feel a single thing for you.
But I do believe I’m movin’ on, where ever that may be.
Goodbye and good luck don’t let the screen door hit you on the way out.
But lemme tell you the unfortunate thing is the sting I feel when I think about you and me.
But I can see the day comin’ when my mind will be free from any doubt.
So Lord tell me there’s a light at the ned of the tunnel and it’ll be OK.
I can take a little heat if I have to.
Let me know that I’ll survive at the end of this struggle and live to love again.
But, if it could be your will, just let it pass me by.

Beatlitis
By Gregg Inhofer

Beatlitis, I can’t shake this disease.
Beatlitis, is there a Doctor in the house.
Dr. Robert, can I call you any time at all.
We can work it out.
Beatlitis, been sick for so many years.
Beatlitis, in spite of all my hopes and fears,
Father McKensie, what have I done.
And can I work it out?
They made it seem so easy.
And in reality it’s so easy.
You must be free to be yourself and love.
Beatlitis, I don’t know which way to turn.
Beatlitis, in spite of everything I’ve learned,
it surrounds me, walkin’ on that long and winding road.
We can work it out.
They made it seem so easy.
And in reality it’s so easy.
You must be free to see yourself and love.

The River of Life
By Gregg Inhofer

I’m goin’ down to the river, to rinse out my soul.
Gonna dive into the river, make my spirit whole.
When I get out of that water, I won’t feel the cold.
I’m goin’ down to the river of life.
Some folks they fear the river, so they’ll never jump in.
They like listen to stories of people who can’t swim.
Now I know I’m so filthy and covered in sin,
so I’m gonna wash in the river of life.
Not gonna get too worried ‘bout divin’ in too deep.
Cause I was taught as a child, the Lord my soul will keep.
And if I die before I wake, I know the Lord my soul will take.
Cause he don’t want no wet soggy souls layin’ round.
I’m puttin’ on my best shoes and my Sunday go to meetin’ clothes.
Gonna walk into that river with both my eyes closed.
I don’t need to see the water I can feel it in my heart.
So I’m gonna start into the river,
I’m gonna dive into the river.
I’m gonna jump into the river.
I’m gonna wash in the river.
I’m goin’ down to the river of life.
