The Light These things that I treasured yesterday Have all gone by the wayside But life’s just a dream away Don’t know what tomorrow brings for me But I’ll never stop reaching I’ll keep the faith and I will pray I’ve fought through rejection And I’m still here today Its time that I showed the world whats happening Its time that I showed the world The light that shines The light that shines on me Its time that I showed the world my passion Its time that I showed the world The light that shines The light that shines on me The light that shines on me This path that I walk down’s paved with gold And I got to find some Won`t be a porn in life`s rich game The devil take me if I give in At the cross roads where my sins Have been washed out by the rain I’ve seen my redemption And I’m still here today Its time that I showed the world whats happening Its time that I showed the world The light that shines The light that shines on me Its time that I showed the world my passion Its time that I showed the world The light that shines The light that shines on me The light that shines on me I`ve seen my reflection This old face looks the same I know I can make it one fine day Words and music by Guy Barnes copyright© Guy Barnes songs 2008

THE TIMES OF OUR LIVES Those Sussex boys who play in bars With rusty strings on old guitars Who live their lives within a song Might miss a beat but don’t go wrong In their own world no one can take that away The mysteries inside their minds Are written down in rhyme Don’t matter if it don’t make sense It all makes sense with time In their own world No one can take that away And it aint the fame they do it for It used to be, not anymore It’s all about just getting by And taking off that plain disguise These are the times of our lives These are the times of our lives Our lives, our lives, our lives Our lives Well time roles on and age it seems Embedded in the same old jeans That wear too thin around the knees And rip just like their cowboy dreams It’s still their world And no one can take that away Might not have rolled the tumbling dice that Mick and Keith had found or been the last man standing Jon and Richie wrote about But it’s still their world And no one can take that away They might just make it in the end And call the world their weary friend Cos a fire still burns inside old souls That paid their dues to Rock n Roll These are the times of our lives These are the times of our lives Our lives, our lives, our lives Our lives Those Sussex boys who play in bars With rusty strings on old guitars Who live their lives within a song Might miss a beat but don’t go wrong In their own world No one can take that away These are the times of our lives These are the times of our lives Our lives, our lives, our lives Our lives Words and music by Guy Barnes Copyright© Guy Barnes songs 2008

The Other Side of the Sun There’s no more words inside of me My minds run dry, but it’s alright There’s nothing I could say to you To change your mind, but it’s alright You aint got those old feelings That hurt so much, so good you’d wanna stay You want me a memory And you just wanna leave me that way Its alright, It’s alright Sometimes never can be fine You’re just left there on the other side of the sun Its alright it’s alright Dreams are taken by the night And when it’s done You’re just left there on the other side of the sun There’s no more songs that I can sing These rusted strings, chords I cant find Wasn’t much good now anyway Although, you always said play what was on my mind You don’t like those old love songs That made you hurt so good you’d wanna dance Into my arms and into what was once a true romance Its alright, It’s alright Sometimes never can be fine You’re just left there on the other side of the sun Its alright it’s alright Dreams are taken by the night And when it’s done You’re just left there on the other side of the sun Mid 8 The other side, the other side of the sun The other side, the other side of the sun Words and music by Guy Barnes and Al Hutton Copyright© Barnes/Hutton music 2008

The End Hello it’s me It’s been a while since I last wrote Within these walls This empty shell that I call home I’ve never been a lucid dream A poster boy for living clean But it’s this damn old heart That speaks the truth In a hundred years if I’m alive Black or white, day or night I’ll still want you by my side Rain or shine, wrong or right Then we can cross that great divide Mountain range, ocean tide Our love will never bend Cos the end it all comes down to you and I In the end it all comes down to you and I So what do you think? Are you getting what I’m telling you so far? I’ll live with pain But not without you, I can’t live without my heart I’ll never be, although I try Could find a better man than I Don’t want to live if I live without you In a hundred years if I’m alive Black or white, day or night I’ll still want you by my side Rain or shine, wrong or right Then we can cross that great divide Mountain range, ocean tide Our love will never bend Cos the end it all comes down to you and I In the end it all comes down to you and I Copyright© Guy Barnes songs 2008 Words and music Guy Barnes

Long Way Down Whats going on inside my head I feel racked up, waisted, dead I don’t fit in the old tired skin of mine I’ve worked hard all my life But success was hard to find I still feel yo0ung but I’m too old to fight So come and help me Help me get something started Cos I feel broken It’s a long way down from 10 floors up And the way down ain`t the way you come up And you feel like life has just got too damn much It’s a long way down from 10 floors up When you’ve given your life then given up Gonna drown It’s a long way down It’s a long long long way down What’s going on inside my heart I need a crank to make it start It’s a cold and lonely, ugly state to be I’ve always tried to find some love But in this world there’s not enough I’ve paid my dues and still found nothings free So come and help me Help me get something started Cos I feel broken hearted It’s a long way down from 10 floors up And the way down ain`t the way you come up And you feel like life has just got too damn much It’s a long way down from 10 floors up When you’ve given your life then given up Gonna drown It’s a long way down It’s a long long long way down Words and music by Guy Barnes and Al Hutton Copyright©Barnes/Hutton songs 2008 |
In this land where I was born Rich of soil where shadows mourn Built of toil by men of strength Long their ghosts reign on our plains I’ll work in my countries mills I’ll walk upon In this land that I call home Our Shall not be beaten in the fight We will go forth into the night I’ll plant all my countries trees I’ll walk there when I’ll work in my countries mills I’ll walk upon In this land, our eyes have seen Many tears in fields of red and green But we shall not come undone Cos we are one We’re I’ll sing in my countries halls I’ll walk beside I’ll work in my countries mills I’ll walk upon In this land where I was born In this land where I was born We shall never come undone We are one We’re Words and music by Guy Barnes Copyright© Guy Barnes Songs
