DISC 1
01. Made Alive / Overture
NARRATOR:
From a world that's never
ending
From a sky beyond the skies
A child is born
And love
is made alive
Like a flaw that seeks perfection
With a will
that will survive
A child is born
And love is made
alive

02. Stranger In A Strange Land
NARRATOR:
Behold the boy - The stranger, the
working man's son
With skin like white lightning
And eyes like
two shots from a gun
They'll teach him to pray and work
everyday
He'll learn how to sweat in the sun
But God has a place
- A place for him in His plan
He won't be like his old man
He
won't be made to crawl
His folks named him John
But everyone
else called him Snow
With flesh bright as Sunday
And a face full
of something unknown
Shunned as he grew, he finally
withdrew
Asleep in a world all his own
Then he awoke like a
child in the Promised Land
With barely the strength to stand
And
tears in his eyes
He's a stranger in a strange land from a
world far away
Like a savior in the wasteland with a high price to
pay
He's a stranger in a strange land
And he can't find his way
home
At seventeen years old he awoke from his world of
gray
(He awoke to a time gone away)
With a gift ever-reaching
and a calling he had to obey
(They watched as he left home one
day)
They all looked on
While the prodigal son
Left the home
of his father that day
Hit New York City with just the shirt on his
back
With a tape deck and battery pack
And no turning
back...
He's a stranger in a strange land from a world far
away
Like a savior in the wasteland with a high price to
pay
He's a stranger in a strange land
Stranger in a strange
land

03. Long Time Suffering
SNOW:
I never saw such a place in all my
life
This is tomorrow's song
I think I've waited too
long
Can't seem to see through the scraping of the sky
And now
it seems so wrong
To think I spent such a...
Long time
suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never
knowing why
I have a gift that can see beyond the years
The
touch so refined
I have transcended all time
My heart can reach
through the secret well of tears
And when they all come
out
Won't have to spend such a...
Long time suffering and
crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing why
The
child awakening to a city in the sky
Spent such a long time
suffering and never knowing why
I may be only seventeen but I
see things
Look at the woman who's head keeps hangin' down
I
cannot feel her hate I feel her needing
Some how I feel like I
cannot let her down
I never saw such a place in all my
life
This is tomorrow's song, I waited much too long
The change
can come in a twinkling of an eye
The slave running free; the
salmon floating downstream
The change can come in a twinkling of an
eye
The slave running free, so why'd we spend such a
Long
time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never
knowing why
The child awakening to a city in the sky
Spent such
a long time suffering...
The change can come in a twinkling of
an eye...

05. Love Beyond Words
SNOW:
I see a boy who watched his
father
Be beat to death right on the living room floor
As he
watched through the door - You watched through the door
Now
you're a young man filled with anger
You know your life on earth
could mean so much more
Don't you know what it's for, I think you
know what it's for
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all
words) - Love beyond words
THE KNIGHT:
Now I
somehow have understanding
Like I've never had before in my
life
Do you know what that's like, I think you know what it's
like
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love
beyond words
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love
beyond words
To love beyond words - (Love beyond all words) - Love
beyond words

06. The 39th Street Blues (I'm Sick)
THE PROSTITUTE:
Hey Snow White and the
Harlem Knight
You make a perfect pair
Skin and bones and a
hatchet faced homes
Hey, what you doin' 'round here
Why don't
you go back to Central Park
Or stick around and see why love is
art
In my sin I've sunk right in
I finally understood
Why
all the geeks and the Catholic Priests
They love to do us
good
Maybe you would like some at my cost?
Or maybe you and the
white shadow should go get lost
'Cause I'm sick of pity and
morphine
I'm sick of you runnin' me down
I'm sick but maybe
there's something
That can still save me from the depths of this
town
One more time I'll speak my mind
And then you'd better
go
Before Sad Sam and the backdoor man
Make me wish I'd just
said no
I might come to your meeting in the park
But now I've
got to work it's getting dark
'Cause I'm sick of pity and
morphine
I'm sick of you runnin' me down
I'm sick but maybe
there's something
That can still save me - That can still save
me
SNOW:
Come you worn out weak and tired
To
this meeting in the dark of the night
And you'll walk in the
light
Yes, you'll walk in the light
If you're addicted and
afflicted
My name is Snow and I've the gift and the sight
And
we'll make it alright
Yes, we'll make it alright

07. Devil's Got My Throat
THE ADDICT:
Richy Rich got high on the high
life
Ron the rage it raged into my life
The Dow Jones it took on
new meaning
I'd pick my feet before every high-powered country club
meeting
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all
she wrote
The Devil's got my throat
I'm goin' down that's all

Oh my God! Look what's become of me!

My girlfriends a cardboard cut-out I stole from
Circuit City

The Devil's got my throat

PEOPLE:
We've heard this same kind of thing a million
times
But this kid's a freak; the weirdest one this week

The Albino Saint; I bet a jolt

Who wants to go meet me in
the park tonight

08. Open Wide The Flood Gates
SNOW:
Red forest green
As you stand at
the waterfall
And there's no in between
You go back or you trust
the fall
And the man says that'll be forty-five
And the best
of your mind's crying 'take the dive'
Open wide the flood
gates
And let love take your soul
Open wide the flood
gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Out of the
blue
And into uncertainty
And since you are a child
You just
want some kind of security
But the desert will always be hot
and dry
Until the cool water comes rushing by
Open wide the
flood gates
And let love fill your soul
Open wide the flood
gates
'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood
gates
Sprinkle this soul around
Open wide the flood
gates
You spent your life running away
You run but you're
not far away
Open wide the flood gates
And let love take
your soul
Open wide the flood gates
'Til there's so much you
overflow
Open wide the flood gates
Sprinkle this soul
around
Open wide the flood gates
Let this Love come down
Open
wide the flood gates
SNOW:
Open wide the flood
gates - And let love move your soul
Open wide the flood gates -
'Til there's so much you overflow
Open wide the flood gates - Let
it wash away the past
Open wide the flood gates - Man, you'll feel
you're home at last
Open wide the flood gates - Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah

09. Open The Gates - Part 2
SNOW AND COMPANY:
Open up the flood gates in
your mind that you might be set free
Open up the windows left
behind and stand in what could be
When something shifts the bulb
will light and you may understand
Something beyond your sense of
sight far from the world of man
(Glass is all breaking -
Everything's changing NOW)
Open up the window feel the calm of
the first cool breeze
Feel how the wind blows you can see the
forest through the trees
When you flip the switch you may deny what
you once held as true
All will be revealed; seek and you'll find
that you can
Open up the flood line - we got separated by
time
Lifting up the gate now - we got separated somehow
Let's
come together now
Open up the flood gates and believe that all
will come to pass
Release the dream and let your woodwinds be all
turned to brass
When something shifts you may belie your former way
of life
Don't you want to be out of your mind; come on
and
Open up the flood line - we got separated by
time
Lifting up the gate now - we got separated somehow
Let's
come together now
Go before the gafe goes down when you hear
the calling sound (I will go)
You will not be turned away bring
your weakness with your strength (I will go)
Where the river meets
the sea - Where the sky is holding me (I will go)
Love will be your
ministry - Let it fly when you open up the flood line

10. Solitary Soul
THE HOMELESS:
I've been here since long ago
waiting for the end
I don't need to have a home but I could use a
friend
So many people they don't give a damn
They look away
when they see what I am
I've been like half a man but I could be
whole
Won't you befriend this solitary soul
Got a lot of
breezes left to blow
Where I'm going I don't know
Got a lot of
heartache got a show
What it's like you'll never know
To be the
solitary soul
I've been here since long ago buried in my
tears
Feels like I've walked alone for a thousand years
So
many people they don't give a damn
They look away when they see
what I am
I've been like half a man but I could be whole
Won't
you befriend this solitary soul
Got a lot of breezes left to
blow
Where I'm going I don't know
Got a lot of heartache got a
show
What it's like you'll never know
Got a lot of breezes
left to blow
Where I'm going I don't know
Got a lot of heartache
got a show
What it's like you'll never know
To be the solitary
soul
SNOW AND COMPANY:
I see your heart
I know
what you've been through
I know you
Come be a part
You know
you belong here
So dry your tears because
Love beyond words
- Can fill your heart
Love beyond words - You'll feel a
part
Love beyond words - You won't be alone anymore
I see
your heart
I know what you've been through
I know you
Come be
a part
You know you belong here
So dry your tears
because
Love beyond words - Can fill your heart
Love beyond
words - You'll feel a part
Love beyond words - You won't be alone
anymore

11. Wind At My
Back
THE HOMELESS:
How can you be
Like a sky
stretched out before me
And the world is turning your way
Even
darkness is better this way
Can it be true
That it all comes
rushing from you
When my resistance is gone
And there's nothing
that I can lean on
You are the wind at my back
You give what
I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry
land
You're the focus the beam
You're realities
dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my
back
All of the above
I'II have the lot for my love
And
as we're becoming somehow
As we're changing the future to
now
I just want to live
In the place that you have to
give
I'll let the heat beat me down
Until the water comes
down
You are the wind at my back
You give what I
lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry
land
You're the focus the beam
You're realities
dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my
back
You are the wind at my back
You give what I
lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain on dry
land
And my soul has been kissed
Just because you
exist
You're the dream that's a fact
You're the wind at my
back
You're the wish that I make
You're the prize I might
take
You're the gold that is free
You're the groom on one
knee
You're the focus the beam
You're realities
dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my
back

02. 4th Of July
NARRATOR:
Another 4th of July
Another pie
in the sky
Another man hears the call
Another snake in the
grass
Another tire's been slashed
Another man takes the
fall
And like a dream dressed in white
Fast as a trick of
the light
You see the vision of every man
You've known it
since you were small
Even before you could crawl
You had the
vision of every man
Another 4th of July
Another shot hits
the sky
Another man has to pay
We wish our boy would stay
sane
We wish he'd change his name
But life just isn't that
way
And like a dream dressed in white
Fast as a trick of the
light
You see the vision of every man
You've known it since
you were small
Even before you could crawl
You had the vision of
every man
Another 4th of July
Another shot hits the
sky
Another ego exalts the man
Another 4th of
July
Another shot hits the sky
Another ego exalts the
man

03. I'm The Guy
THE EGO:
I'm the guy who lurks
In the
heart of every man
I'm the creepy jerk
Dressed up like your
dearest friend
I am Jonah's whale flying friendly sail
I'm
the mind you're living in
I - I'm the guy
I'm the guy who
thinks
Of the press and interviews
Like to walk a mile
In
God's favorite running shoes
If you specify who has made you
cry
Who can give the suicidal blues
I - I'm the guy
I'm
the one you can't get free
I will always be
Like a wolf that's
at your door
What your women wants is me
I'm the one she's
waited for
She's waited for
I'm the one eyed jack
I'm the
one you can't ignore
Just give me somethin' better than that
I'm
the guy who wants more and more
and more and more and
more
And then when I'm through
You'll be turned into
An
emotional vegetable
'Cause I - I'm the guy
I'll tell you how
great you are
You're the best by far
You're a drop dead
centerfold
That girl ain't nothin' - you're the star
And your
life will be controlled
It'll be controlled by me

04. Reflection
NARRATOR:
Behold the man, the stranger, the
working man's son
He reflected the mountain
Now all souls can
see what's been done
And the word spread fast as wild
fire
But the people changed as the wind swept higher
And the
crowd's got huge, man, you should've seen the choir
And in two
years he made the cover of Time
The albino priest with the psychic
mind
"You wanna see Mr. Snow you better get in line"
He
might've been fine - He might've got through it OK
If not for the
girl, when he saw her I guess everything changed
And the loose
in him wound up tight
And the flanks all faded in the failing
light
And the needy people seemed an oversight
He knew about
things he couldn't know
He knew about people and he told them
so
But until he touched her he didn't know - She let him
know

05. Carie
SNOW:
Carie
Won't you come and see me,
the clouds have bid the sun
Let's take a chance and run with just
what we can carry
Carie
Won't you come and save me, I am of the earth
But you are like a church with one hand in the sky
And a
face that answers why
Won't you please just hear
me
Everywhere I hear you - Everywhere you call
Everyday I
feel the need to fall into you
I need to be behind your castle
walls
Carie
I see it all so clearly, the window's open
now
Let's take what fate's allowed, time may never come
Let's
take a chance and run with just what we can carry

06. Looking For Answers
SNOW:
I think I'II give her a call to see if
she's up
It's kinda late but you know it wouldn't surprise me
If
I get her machine again
You see there's a problem I have
And
have had for a long, long time
I wish I was blind as a bat
Cause
no matter where I'm at
I can see her standing there
I'm
still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is
where I'll be for all eternity
This is a torture of
sorts
I've seen the reports of my demise
But don't feel sorry
for me
It's not like I can see at all
She's the best thing
I've had
And have had for a long, long time
But I'm just a freak
with a gift
Living in a paradigm shift
My world is changing
everywhere
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do
better
Or maybe this is where I'll be for all eternity
I'm
still looking for answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is
it for me
This is where I'll be for all eternity
I'm not
opposed to being alone, the needle is stuck
My penance was made by
my run out of luck
And I don't suppose you'd consider changing your
mind
I promise you it will be different this time
And I don't
have nothin' to bring to the table
Oh no matter what I say
I'll
be here forever - Forever will be today
I'm still looking for
answers
Maybe I can do better
Or maybe this is where I'll be for
all eternity
I'm still looking for answers
Maybe I can do
better
Or maybe this is it for me
This is where I'll be for all
eternity
I'm still looking for answers
I'm still looking for
answers

14. I Will Go
SNOW:
Help me I'm dying
Help me I'm dying now
And as the whirlwinds disappeared
I looked around and I was here
The clouds were clearing from my eyes
My life stood still and began to rise
And all the faces round about
Began to smile and call me out
No time to think; nothing to know
Just one tremendous letting go
And God was there behind a veil
And everyone I'd helped or failed
These words escaped inside my soul
There's no denying
I will go
(Go before the gate goes down
When you hear the calling sound)
I will go
(You will not be turned away
Bring your weakness with your strength)
I will go
(Where the river meets the sea
Where the sky is holding me)
I will go
(Love will be your ministry
Fly it high when you open up the flood line)
And when I finally came around
Propped in a bed my head bound
I saw my friends they all were there
Some eyes were wet some eyes were clear
They gathered round and touched my hand
And I began to understand
I saw a future yet unknown
I saw a child returning home
And God said "Welcome back my friend"
He brought me back to life again
And when He calls me down the road
I will be going
I will go
(Go before the gate goes down
When you hear the calling sound)
I will go
(You will not be turned away
Bring your weakness with your strength)
I will go
(Where the river meets the sea
Where the sky is holding me)
I will go
(Love will be your ministry
Fly it high when you open up the flood line)

15. Made Alive Again / Wind At My Back
SNOW:
From a world that's never ending
From a sky beyond the skies
A child is born
And love is made alive
Like a flaw that seeks perfection
With a will that will survive
A child is born
And love is made alive
Wind At My Back
SNOW:
And you are the wind at my back
You give what I lack
You're the jewel in my hand
You're like rain, you're like rain

Just because you exist
You're the gold that is free
You're the groom on one knee
You're the wind at my back
You give what I lack

You're the focus the beam
You're realities dream
You're the blue in my black
You're the wind at my back

The illusion so real
You're the ocean the tide
You're the door open wide
