LITTLE LIGHT (Clark)

Even on a rainy day, I can feel the sunshine
Even when the clouds are grey, I can feel a glow
There's a little light inside of me just keeps burning
Take it with me everywhere I go

POWERLESS BUT STRONG (Clark)

My name is Mary B., I've got a new philosophy
I am powerless, but I am strong
Maybe there's no easy way, but there's a new beginning every day
I am powerless, but I am strong

I go to bed every night, I try to thank myself when I turn out the light_
I've got a place where I belong
I've got to get up every day, no matter what mistakes I've made
I am powerless, but I am strong

My friends are just like me, but each is different as can be
We are powerless, but we are strong
We know we're never alone, we've got a friend on the end of the phone
We are powerless, but we are strong

We go to bed every night, we try to thank ourselves_
when we turn out the light
This is our place and we belong
We've got to get up every day, no matter what mistakes we've made
We are powerless, but we are strong

There may be trouble down the road, it's a dangerous journey, I am told
But I don't have to worry, not today
And I may stumble, and I may fall
But I've learned one thing, that most of all
I've got to learn to take it day by day

It's a brand new day for me, I've got a new philosophy
I am powerless, but I am strong
I know I'm never alone, I've got a friend on the end of the phone
I am powerless, but I am strong

I go to bed every night, I've got to thank myself when I turn out the light
This is my place and I belong
I've got to get up every day no matter what success I've made
I am powerless, but I am strong_

That which does not kill us, makes us strong

TAKE CARE OF ME (Clark)

Tonight I'm gonna just stay home and -- take care of me
I've been taking care of business, and everybody else on top of
working and family
I can't give what I aint got -- it's no mystery
So tonight I'm gonna stay home and take care of me

Tonight I'm gonna just sit back and see what I can see_
It's been go go go, and do do do, tonight I'm gonna let it be
I can't give what I aint got -- it's no mystery
So tonight I'm gonna be my own company

I'm gonna lock myself in the bathtub, and just read a book
Or I could take a walk -- it's just a thought -- I'll see how the weather looks
Or I might find a spot where I can get free
Tonight I'm gonna stay home and take care of me

Sometimes I wonder, do I try to do too much?
Or is this the way it's gonna stay -- every day's a rush?
There's one good thing about the rat race, baby, that I can see
It makes me stay home and take care of me

Tonight I'm gonna just stay home and -- take care of me
I've been taking care of business, and everybody else on top of
working and family
I can't give what I aint got -- it's no mystery
So tonight I'm gonna be my own company
Tonight I'm gonna stay home and take care of me
No one else is gonna take care of me

TENDERLY (Clark)

I met you here a long time ago, we were standing here like this
I remember the way you looked at me, it's the kind of thing I miss
We were ready for rough play, didn't need tenderness
I need you sometimes now, just a kind word and a kiss

Chorus
I've been through a lot, the world's been hard for me
I've already proved I can be strong for you baby treat me tenderly_

You know I'm good for you baby, you know my heart is true, you know
Everything you do for me babe, I'm gonna give it on back to you
Don't make me prove that I love you, don't be so hard on me, you know_
Everything doesn't have to be so rough, we can take it easily

Chorus

Sometimes I don't know what's wrong with you, why can't you ever settle down on me?
Does it bother you that I'm just as strong as you?
Do you have to keep competing, testing it out, taking it out on me?

Don't know who's guiding tomorrow, don't know where we're gonna be
I trust in the power of sweet love, to take good care of me
But you fear the future, you're fighting hard to prove you've got the stuff
Well you know I'm on your side, and I already know you're tough enough

Chorus

I KNOW A PLACE (Clark)

I know a place
where we can go
to watch the stars_
fall from the sky

I know a place_
here in my mind
where you can smile
your cares behind

I know a place
where we can go
where my soul_
touches your soul

I know a place
where we can go
come with me
where I go

I know your mind
I know your face
I know a place

I CAN LET GO (Clark)

There's someone in my life, I try to understand
I try to make it work, and go on
But sometimes I grow weary, of all the nights I worry
And I just don't know if I can hang on

Chorus
But I can let go, now I know I can let go
Leave it all behind, find some peace of mind
Now I know, I can let go

I try to lend a helping hand, and sometimes I can
But sometimes I just seem to fuel the fire
But who can I blame, I'm still standing in the flames
And I'm holding on to my burning pride

Chorus (Pain is all around me)

I don't want to hurt him, I'm not saying I'll desert him
But I just can't be a part of this game
Cause there's no way to win, I know I can't change him
But I know I don't want to stay the same

Chorus
(Pain is all around me
I've gotta take care of me
No one gonna do it for me
I gotta take care of me)

There's someone in my life, I try to understand
I try to help myself to go on

HOW I FEEL (Clark)

I don't want to be a downer but sometimes it's just so hard
I know that I'm lucky, right now I just can't seem to find my lucky star
I know I'll get over it, nothing lasts too long
Sometimes it's good to see the weakness in me and not always have to be strong


Chorus
I gotta straighten it out, I don't wanna walk a crooked mile
I gotta straighten it out, gotta put some teeth back in my smile
Find my way right back to real
It's a challenge to be just how I feel

Spent some time in the business world, but they've_
never really known me
I have to put my mask on, to be who they want me to be
Lately I've been searching, for a place to get real
A place where I can feel safe enough to know how I feel

Watching and wondering, is this the way I'm supposed to be
I may go under, but at least I'll go down being me

Chorus

Everybody's got their own program, mine is a simple thing
I've found some people to rely on, who listen to everything
They seem to want to get to know me, the bad along with the good
It helps me be straight with myself
and even when I'm feeling bad, that feels good_

Chorus

AS RAIN (Clark)

Go away, leave me alone, without people, without sound
I've no desire, to be in that crowd
New friends are for the making, but I can't take it anymore
I won't answer my door

A few dollars will buy cigarettes, a cold shoulder will buy time
Must I be the entertainment all of the time
It's a long trip to serenity, I better start right now
Please don't rattle my sanity, not now

She's drifted into darkness, we're worried about her, you know
I've never seen her like this, don't bother, she'll just ask you to go
She used to be so lively, we don't understand
But we can't excuse this sort of behavior again

Not, why is the shower dripping, it's dripping, that is all
A drop collects and soon the drop will fall
It follows a tiny river, heading for the drain
No I'm not sad, no I'm not depressed, I know it will_
come back to me as rain
