Lyrics

I'll Still Be Here - words & music by G. Michael Peters

Waitin', waitin' for the storm to pass 
And hopin', hopin' that this rain don't last 
Some days it hurts to be near 
But I've always loved you, so have no fear 
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here 

Standin', standin' on the sideline lookin' in 
And wonderin', wonderin' how to help you back again 
Oh, I know, this you isn't you 
But together we'll make it through 
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here 

Oh, we all need a place to hide, when the darkness pulls us inside 
Just take my hand, and I'll guide you home 
You may feel lonely, but you're never alone 

Smilin', smilin' at the girl I always knew 
And laughin', laughin' like the way we used to do 
Somehow we've learned to make it go 
I'm yours forever, and always know 
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here 
When your walls come closin' in, I'll still be here

Have I Lived A Good Life - words & music by G. Michael Peters

All alone on a mountaintop looking down upon the clouds 
Thought about what drove me here, pushed me high above the crowds 
And I know that I once was an acrobat that couldn't fall 
Thought I had life figured out, but now I'm questioning it all 

My younger days are in the rear view, no longer driven to the chase 
I wonder if I made a difference to anyone or any place 

Have I lived a good life 
Have I given more than taken 
Ever left a friend forsaken in times of need 
Did I love with all I could 
Did I fight the fights worth fightin' 
Right the wrongs that needed rightin' 
Choose love over greed 
Have I lived a good life 
Have I lived a good life 

Hope I've lived a good life, hope I've lessened someone's pain 
Or helped them learn to fly, get back on their feet again 
If I've lived a good life, I'll leave here with no regrets 
Knowing that I've done my best with this one life we all get 

My younger days are in the rear view, no longer driven to the chase 
I wonder if I made a difference to anyone or any place 

Have I lived a good life 
Have I given more than taken 
Ever left a friend forsaken in times of need 
Did I love with all I could 
Did I fight the fights worth fightin' 
Right the wrongs that needed rightin' 
Choose love over greed 
Have I lived a good life 
Have I lived a good life 

Guess I've lived a good life, my memories sure are full 
And I've had me lots of smiles and my heartstrings have been pulled 
But I know that in the end we're all riding the same train 
And the only question is, would we ride it over again 

Have I lived a good life 
Have I given more than taken 
Ever left a friend forsaken in times of need 
Did I love with all I could 
Did I fight the fights worth fightin' 
Right the wrongs that needed rightin' 
Choose love over greed 
Have I lived a good life, have I lived, have I lived 
Have I lived a good life, have I lived, have I lived 
Have a lived a good life, have I lived, have I lived 
Have a lived a good life

Like You're Still Five - words & music by G. Michael Peters

There will come a day not so far from today 
When you won't come runnin' to me 
To tell me 'bout your day, in your breathless little way 

The frog you caught under the pier 
The mud you put in your sister's ear 
Tacklin' every life's adventure without an ounce of fear 

I know I have to let you be free to fly 
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why 
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time 
And hold you in my arms like you're still five 

Let me smell the fresh air and the forest in your hair 
Tell me all about your dirt 
And the wonders you found under the stairs 

So many things to see and do 
Those fire-breathing dragons you slew 
In the backyard before watching Winnie the Pooh 

I know I have to let you be free to fly 
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why 
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time 
And hold you in my arms like you're still five 

It's just your old Dad rambling but I hope that you can see 
Every time I lift you off the ground you're really lifting me 

You've grown so big and strong, it's what I hoped for all along 
Young man on his own two feet 
Trying not to do it wrong, to just belong 

These Dad trials have been worthwhile 
But what would really make me smile 
Is let your old man lift you off the ground every once in a while 

I know I have to let you be free to fly 
And I'm not supposed to doubt or question why 
But let me lift you off the ground this one last time 
And hold you in my arms like you're still five 
And hold you in my arms like you're still five

You Can Never Go Home Again - words & music by G. Michael Peters

I took my first steps there, first time they cut my hair 
Learned to ride a bike so I could go anywhere 
My parents kept me safe, but they let me get into my share 

A high school love - a ring, she made my young heart sing 
She was the first to open my eyes to grown-up things 
Until I went off to school, in search of what else life might bring 

I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well 
Believe it or not, I even miss the rain 
But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how 
I know you can never go home again 

Oh, I still think of you, when I'm feeling blue 
I remember every crazy thing we used to do 
And I wonder sometimes, did any of your dreams ever come true 

On that day I phoned, and left you all alone 
Couldn't help myself, I was itchin' to roam 
Ain't it funny how the mind works; we need to travel, but we long to be home 

I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well 
Believe it or not, I even miss the rain 
But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how 
I know you can never go home again 

Finally found my way home, walked those streets all alone 
Lots of things had changed, but nothing had 
And I realized that day, home's just a place in your heart 

I miss the ocean's smell, those streets I knew so well 
Believe it or not, I even miss the rain 
But they're just memories now, and though I might wonder how 
I know you can never go home again 
Oh, I know you can never go home again

When The Bluenose Was Queen - Words by Michael Peters. Music by Michael Peters & Wayne Brown

We lost the Cup to those damn Yanks 
Was November of nineteen twenty 
Canada’s sailors took a blow that day 
But our pride would not let it be 

So we built us a two-masted schooner 
The greatest salt banker of all 
To fish for God’s cod off the Grand Banks 
And to race the high seas come the Fall 

Ten thousand square foot of sail she flew 
On tall masts of Oregon pine 
A half million cod pounds could be salted away 
In her black hull with a thoroughbred’s line 

Like a peacock she strutted with her sails out 
The jewel of Nova Scotia’s fleet 
With the dreams of a young land upon her 
Mighty Bluenose was birthed to the sea-ee-ee

 

When the Bluenose was Queen of the Atlantic
The pride of Lunenberg
When the Bluenose was Queen, sailing frantic 
Fastest schooner on this Earth 
When the Bluenose was Queen 
When the Bluenose was Queen 
When the Bluenose was Queen 

Caught a record that season on the Banks grounds 
’Twas high time to prove what she could do 
So Blue set to race ‘gainst those Gloucester boys 
With Cap’n Angus and her crew of twenty-two 

Flew o’er the waves like a bird of the sea 
And for six years she bought home the prize 
“She’s a witch, can’t be beat!”, the Americans cried 
But Angus and her crew knew the skies 

By the thirties the age of sail ended 
Engines tore their cloths from the sky 
Blue was sold south to haul bananas and rum 
Angus watched her leave and he cried 

In ’46 a squall broke off Haiti 
Clipped a reef, it was Blue’s time to die 
Close your eyes and On you'll see her off the South Shore
The Queen with her sails flying high-igh-igh


When the Bluenose was Queen of the Atlantic 
The pride of Lunenberg 
When the Bluenose was Queen, sailing frantic 
Fastest schooner on this Earth 

Repeat

When the Bluenose was Queen 
When the Bluenose was Queen 
When the Bluenose was Queen
