O How the Mighty Have Fallen (Hindalong, Byrd)
Like the snake who calls the lizard a reptile
Like the chimp who calls the jester a clown
When I tell you, “You oughta be ashamed or yourself”
I’ve gotta set my knees on the ground
O how the mighty have fallen
O how the reckless are crawling now
O how the mighty have fallen
Such a long way down
Thank you, please don’t swing your shovel at my head, friend
No, I truly won’t appreciate that sound
When you tell me I surely should atone for my sin
I hope you know the fate of the proud
O how the mighty have fallen…

Nobody Gets a Smooth Ride
Nobody gets a smooth ride…
Every child will learn
How the asphalt burns
When he takes a sharp turn too wide
Nobody gets a smooth ride
I’m really sorry the way things are going these days
Try to be careful that’s all I can say
I’m really sorry the way things are going
Civilians needn’t wear guns…
Bullets rain on us
The hapless populous
Fools will shoot the sky just for fun
Civilians needn’t wear guns
I’m really sorry the way things are going these days
Try to be careful that’s all I can say
I’m really sorry the way things are going
High flyers oughta use nets…
Hold on tight to the bar
Circus trapeze star
What a shame should you fall to your death
High flyers oughta use nets
I’m really sorry the way things are going…
Nobody gets a smooth ride

She's Alright

She’s Alright
Comes a time for tears in the dark
No need to fake it
Yesterday her eyes were shining stars
I know she’ll make it
She’s alright
She’s alright now
Flyin’ over mountains
Comin’ through the clouds
She’s alright
Like an eagle in the wind
I know she’s gonna make it through
‘Cause she’s got true blue friends
Even when the rain is falling hard
She will find cover
Even though she aches to the heart
She knows we love her
She’s alright…

Enough to Love
If I could touch with my fumbling hands your scars
If I could know in my rebel mind your heart
If I could see with my lusting eyes your face
If I could taste on my withered tongue sweet grace
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Enough to die
Enough to love
If I could hear with two muffled ears your voice
If could find in my troubled life true joy
If I could feel with numb fingers your spirit
If I could drink for my barren soul your tears
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Enough to die
Enough to die
Enough to love
If I could touch with my trembling hands your scars
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Would I trust You near enough
Enough to die
Enough to live
Enough to love

Terrible Mystery

Terrible Mystery
No creature more lovely
No spirit more dear to me
And if I cannot hold you
I still wish you all the joy in the world
How dark is the universe
How cold is the rain on this earth
So long have I loved you
Since I was a child and you were a girl
What a terrible mystery
How I searched for the key
To unlock your guarded heart
And set your love free
What a beautiful dream
I tried more than anything
To unlock your heart
And set your love free
A terrible mystery
It’s alright I’m movin’ on
Some days the pain is gone
No longer searching for
The treasure in you
I never could own
I smile when I see you now
This planet keeps turning around
And I don’t cry anymore
Only once in awhile
When I’m all alone
What a terrible mystery…

We Give We Take
Chicago might be cold
How nice the way you’ve folded
Everything so neatly
We’ll talk when I get back
I wish I could retract
Things I said so indiscreetly
We give we take
We build we break
We stare at the moon and we sigh
We give we take
For heaven’s sake
I never wanna make you cry
I’ll see you in an hour
I’m bringin’ home some flowers
I just wanna be a blessing
And if you feel the need
To give me something sweet
That’s a motive I’m confessing
We give we take
We build we break
We stare at the moon and we sigh
We give we take
For heaven’s sake
I never wanna make you cry
I just wanna make your sky brighter
I just wanna make your heart lighter
I just wanna set your world on fire…
That’s a motive I’m confessing

Fine Fun Time
We brandish plastic swords
More of a game than a war
Nobody’s keepin’ score
When I swing left, you swing right
We hear the echo of hyenas laughing in the night
Laughing in the night
Such a fine fun time
We share when we’re together
It’s a fine fun thing
To carry on and on
Such a good great gift
All the years we’ve weathered
It’s a fine thing to carry on and on
Our children are learning well
Askin’ ‘bout heaven and hell
Only time will tell
And time will prove what I know is true
Husker Du is the most influential rock n’ roll group
Influential rock n’ roll group
Such a fine fun time…

How I Wish I Knew
When I see you falling
When I hear you crying
When I feel you fading away
How I wish I knew what to say
When I see you falling
When I hear you crying
When I feel you fading away
How I wish I knew what to pray
Like a flower refusing to bloom
When the sun hides for awhile
It’s a cruel thing you’re doing
Depriving the world of your smile
When your heart defies you
When the dark mystifies you
When the stars shine down from above
How I hope their light is enough
And I hope you know you are loved
Like a flower refusing to bloom
When the sun hides away
It’s a cruel thing you’re doing
Depriving my soul of your smile today…

Mercy Will Prevail
I wanna swear it’s true but it’s hard to defend it
I know it comes from You and I don’t comprehend it
Love never fails
Mercy will prevail
I wanna swear it’s true but it’s hard to defend it
In the chill of a cruel word
In the nest of a wounded bird
In the shadow of doubt
In the smoke
In the smoke of a torch blown out
I wanna swear it’s true but it’s hard to believe it
I know it comes from You so I want to receive it
Divine love never fails
Mercy will prevail
I wanna swear it’s true but it’s hard to believe it
In the thrust of a bayonet
In the hour of deep regret
In a world gone insane
In the eye
In the eye of a hurricane
In the chill of a cruel word
In the nest of a wounded bird
In the shadow of doubt
In the smoke
In the smoke of a torch blown out
In the flight of a sharp stone
In the rubble where children moan
In our own apathy
In the blood
In the river at Calvary

To Rescue Me

To Rescue Me
When I can’t hold on much longer
To a rope weathered and frayed
When I can’t find hope and I’m losing faith
The savior reaches in
To still the howling wind
To calm the storm within
To rescue me
To rescue me
When I think I might surrender
To the vengeance of the tide
When I’m lost in sin and I don’t see light
The savior reaches low
Under the torrid flow
To save my sinking soul
And rescue me
The savior calls my name
When I feel most ashamed
He comes to take the blame
And rescue me
To rescue me
To rescue me

I've been a fan of Mike Roe and all his musical endeavors for 30 years, but it wasn't until I heard an acoustic solo set in '99 at The Trinity House in Livonia, MI, that I "got" the music. The sincerity came through in a way I hadn't heard before, and I've been regularly listening every since. Not only does the music speak to my soul, it's a great soundtrack to poop to.
