      <description>Head Over Heels

Your up is down to me
That is clear to see
So why are we so similar
And why are you so familiar

You took off the chains that binded my heart
Then stepped aside and let God do His part . . .</description>

      <title>Before You Do</title>

      <description>Before You Do 

 

Are you sick of life

Are you seeking a knife

Is there that much strife

Is it so painful you can't bear

Are you cutting off your air

Are you standing on the chair  . . .</description>
