1.Stranger

Written:lili haydn, matt sherrod, & lotus weinstock

Down, while you're diggin' down
Dig a little deeper
No way to get around
We're all in this together
Pretty teenage baby has a baby of her own
No one to talk to, she's got no place to turn
Ain't like she's asking or looking for a free ride
She strips for stranger to keep her baby satisfied

And stranger, stranger things have happened
Goodness brings a chain reaction
Liberate me from inaction
Stranger, stranger things have happened

Sometimes i don't really know
How i make a difference
Smack dab in the river bed
Next door to the living dead
Smack dab in the river bed
I opened up my heart and listened
Speeding down the highway, sister shared her thoughts with me
And for an hour we even shared a destiny
Her baby's father loves her with brutality
She had a dream god came down and set her free

And stranger, stranger things have happened
Goodness brings a chain reaction
Liberate me from inaction
Stranger, stranger things have happened


2.Someday

Written:lili haydn & glen ballard

Will she find it, will she find
Solitary changing times
And someday she'll have her own party
Someday she'll have her own house
Someday she'll chase her own carrot
'til that day she'll live in a house with thirty people
Will we ever understand the reasons we were chosen
Obligations for the seventh day of our creation

Baby clinging, baby clings
Somber notions sweet fledgling
And someday she'll write her own credo
Someday she'll build her own house
Someday she'll choose her own leaders
Someday she'll rabble rouse
Will we ever understand the reasons we were chosen
Obligations for the seventh day of our creation

Someday she'll have her own party
Someday she'll have her own dream
Someday she'll chase her own carrot
'till that day she'll have a hole in her front teeth
Someday we'll have a new language
Someday we'll say what we mean
Someday we'll have compassion
'til that day our spirit will be demeaned
Someday she'll have her own credo
Someday she'll follow her heart
Someday she'll have her own party
'til that day she's in the dark


3.Real

Written:lili haydn & matt sherrod

I am a girl who doesn't like it like that
I don't believe that you can treat me like that
I'm not your hair, you can not cut me like that
I'm not your past you cannot shove me in the closet
I'm not your tramp you cannot make me behave
My tits are real and i am tired of pretending
You'll never know how to take a real stand
I realized i am better off without you

I was afraid to sing out loud, you cannot change me
You cannot change that which is real, don't rearrange me
This battlefield has made me strong, although you've drained me
And when the dark has turned to dawn, i'm sure you'll claim me

I'm not your face, of me there's only one
I'm not your faith and i'm not gonna to disappear
I'm not your heart and i won't change with the wind
I'm not your spine and i won't wither into jelly

I was afraid to sing out loud, you cannot change me
You cannot change that which is real, don't rearrange me
This battlefield has made me strong, although you've drained me
And when the dark has turned to dawn, i'm sure you'll claim me

I wanted out of my skin
My colors i tried to hide
I am a wandering jew
I've yet to love what is mine

I'm not your blood that you can pacify with saccharine
I'm not your love, my will is strong and never ending

I was afraid to sing out loud, you cannot change me
You cannot change that which is real, don't rearrange me
This battlefield has made me strong, although you've drained me
And when the dark has turned to dawn, i'm sure you'll claim me

5.Take Somebody Home

Written:lili haydn & peter rafelson

She rides down fairfax with her mommy
Canter's on the right, the night is foggy
Not foggy enough, she still sees the pain in their eyes
She makes mom explain the reason why
They live on the street, we just drive by
But not fast enough, she still sees the blame in her eyes
Can we please take somebody home
There's room in our house where it's not cold
Why can't we please take somebody home
The little girl cries with love in her eyes

Mom don't make that much in a day
She knows they ain't that far away
From being denied
She barely survives in this land
Can we please take somebody home
There's room in our house where it's not cold
Why can't we please take somebody home
The little girl cries with love in her eyes

Mom tries to explain 'supply side'
Not much trickles down, justice belie
The eyes of a child see through these civilized lies
Can we please take somebody home
There's room in our house where it's not cold
Why can't we please take somebody home
The little girl cries with love in her eyes


6.Faithful One

Written:lili haydn & jeffrey connor

There's no greater pain, the only thing i know
There's no great pain than to lose your little girl
She walks alone in midnight hour
Her baby's gone to a higher power
Her faith is strong, her heart betroved
Her song intones the myth of job
There's no great pain, baby's gone away
She offered me her heart, no end to her sorrow
Where is god oh faithful one
In struggle lies evolution
Where is god oh faithful one
He's all you have he's what you've become


7.Baby

Written:lili haydn & corky james

Baby is squirming toward grace
Baby is learning her place
Baby is leaping toward faith and
Baby has chose her fate
And no one, no one, no one save her
But one enslaves her
Baby improving her time
Baby is dreaming im rhyme
Baby is grateful for her life
She owes the angels for their lullaby
And no one can save her
But no one enslaves her


8.Mama

Written:lili haydn

Mam, now i know why you held on
Magic held you captive in it's song, captive intit's song
Mama, i never understood your plight
You waited for the sweetness in his eyes, sweetness in his eyes
Mama, tell me how you found yourself outside your compromise
Can you lead me toward a light to keep me from self-sacrifice
Mama, sorry if you stayed for me
You overlooked injustice for the peace, injustice for the peace
Mama, why do we go back for more
Even when we're curled up on the floor,
From blows that we've endured
Mama, tell me how you found yourself outside your compromise
Can you lead me toward a light to keep me from self-sacrifice
Mama, i became what i abhor
Acting out to even up the score,to even up the score


9.Daddy

Written:lili haydn & jeffrey connor

Trying to save the world while your daddy is dying
With your safety net
Everything's changed, now my songs make you cry and
I feel you, daddy i feel you, daddy
Fed by your father, your days were your own
You're on your own now
Head in the starts, now i'm fully grown, but
I feel you, daddy i feel you, daddy
