1. We'll Be Together (3:09)

(1st place Afghan/Iraq)

Do you remember that time when we first met?

You were so lovely that I could not forget.

And Now I'm thousands of miles from home and I just want to lay in bed

I'm certainly hurting my chest is without your head

soon comes a time when we're together

you dry your eyes we'll be together

It was only a month that we were wed

no honeymoon, I went to war instead

you send a letter of love over the seas

and your handwriting, it feels like home to me

There will come a time when I come marching in

Doors will open wide and I will see you

I know that I will cry as you come running in

Into my arms, and we kiss

2. Wherever You Are, Morgan's Song (3:27)

(1st place Folk/Bluegrass/Country)

It's raining tonight

Outside the window

I try to close my heavy eyes

But the thunder roars

Tearing the quiet

Like the heartbeat of the sky

It's hard to fall asleep

When you can't see the stars

So I hope it never rains

Wherever you are

Do you think of me?

Are you tired of being strong?

Where do you lay down at night?

How does it feel?

Do you dream of coming home?

I wanna know what it's like

'Cuz you have my heart

Wherever you are

It's cold in this bed

I hate December

And I count down the days

It's been so long

But I remember

And your love is worth the wait

I need to feel the warmth

I'm missing in your arms

I hope it's never cold

Wherever you are

Do you think of me?

Are you tired of being strong?

Where do you lay down at night?

How does it feel?

Do you dream of coming home?

I wanna know what it's like

'Cuz you have my heart

Wherever you are

I was there for every smile,

Every laugh

And I'll be right here

When you get back

Do you think of me?

And are you tired of being strong?

Where do you lay down at night?

How does it feel?

Do you dream of coming home?

I wanna know what it's like

'Cuz you have my heart

You have my heart

You have my heart,

Wherever You Are

3. Like I Do (3:55)

(3rd place Patriotic/Inspirational/Worship)

Honey Brown,

And a sea of ocean blue.

She says you've got the look of me,

But I think you share her too.

You came into this world,

Just one day from a tragic anniversary.

And I closed my eyes

Thanking God for this precious opportunity.

And I hoped,

I could give you all that you'd demand.

And I shed a tear to thank my God for the gift within my hands,

And I wondered, if you'd take these words and make them all your own,

And I'd tried to straighten up this world that you now call your home.

And I'd prayed that everyday

He'd keep watch over you

Like I do.

It's been a long time now since we've brought you to your home.

The memory of that day tugs the heart that you now own.

I lay away some nights as you drift into the depth.

And when you open ocean-blue eyes I try to catch my breath.

And I hope I can give you

All that you demand

And I close my eyes and thank my God for the gift within my hands.

And I wonder if you'll take these words and make them all your own.

And I know you'll brighten up this world that you now call your home,

And I pray that everyday He'll keep watch over you

Like I Do.

4. Ten Things To Do If I Live (4:33)

(3rd place Afghan/Iraq)

I can only imagine

There's no way

Anywhere but here

Craziest shit I've ever seen

There's no way

I'll ever leave in one piece

I can only imagine

You're glued to the TV

That goddamned TV

So I ask to be taken

Anywhere but here

So I ask to be taken

Anywhere

Anywhere but here

So I ask to be taken

Anywhere but here

A thousand promises to God

Just anywhere but here

Convinced I swear I know

But never say

The worst of my fears

So I ask to be taken

Anywhere but here

So I ask to be taken

Anywhere

Anywhere but here

So I ask to be taken

Anywhere but here

A quiet lull in all this noise

I've made a list

Things to do if I live

There's no way

from here

5. Universal Soldiers (4:57)

(2nd place Hip Hop/Rap)

Yea do I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me

We come from different cultures, background and races

Stand to defend our country by God’s graces

Took and oath of faith and everyday respect it

Against enemies foreign and domestic

Made a choice to serve, no mental reservation

Live and die in defense of a great nation

My faith is solid, no one can challenge

I do this for my freedom, loved ones and family

So I, never lose focus, never go astray

Never ever falter, no matter what they say

Always stay the course, while enemies are plotting

Sacrifice and pray that we are not forgotten

Sacrifice our lives, our families feel the pain

Carry on without you, so that it’s not in vain

We stand for truth, justice glory

Until it’s written and read, this is My Military Story

Chorus

Proud professionals, leaders, servicemen

Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen

We travel worldwide, some never make it back

Serve across the world, Europe to Iraq

We do our missions freely, service before self

Strive to make a difference and pray to God it helps

This is a special calling, I’ve got no regrets

We stand steadfast until our last breath

Its’ O’ dark thirty, you know the saying man

My bags are all packed; it’s time to leave again

Six months to a year in the sandbox

Ten hours in the air before my first stop

This is the hard part, my families at the gate

Transportation’s broke, so we have to wait

Family’s heartbroken, and I can see the tears

I play it strong and hold them till they disappear

So I, always say I love you before the doors close

Holidays I missed, I send a red rose

Message to my kids, call my loved ones

Keeps me grounded, until my work is done

For those that came before me, those that have to follow

Many see it through, some never see tomorrow

This is my message, so you don’t have to worry

You’re not forgotten, we remember, Your Military Story

Chorus

Some ask me why I serve and if I had a choice

I took my oath, spoke clearly with my own voice

No second thoughts considered, when I said my name

To bear true faith and allegiance to the same

Nobody forced our hands, we all volunteered

Protectors of the nation, some people think it’s weird

That’s why we never falter, no matter what the cost

We stand and fight for our freedom so it won’t be lost

So I, never lose focus, never go astray

Never ever falter, no matter what they say

Always stay the course, while enemies are plotting

Sacrifice and pray that we are not forgotten

Sacrifice our lives, our families feel the pain

Carry on without you, so that it’s not in vain

We stand for truth, justice glory

Until it’s written and read, this is My Military Story

Chorus

This song is dedicated to our military servicemen and women across the great nation and around the world. We understand the sacrifices that you make day in and day out. For those we have lost, you are not forgotten. We will remember you forever. Dismissed!

6. My Life, Live Free (3:58)

1st place Hip Hop/Rap)

Yep, I’m feeling it; it’s time to chill a bit

Take a load off, just for a little bit

Lean back, lean low and all that

Hip-hop died last night so I could bring it back

Time to set it straight and let it perculate

Ya’ll do your thug thizzle, while I marinate

Fast cars, fast times so let me be

That’s how I do it, My Life, Live Free

It’s My Life Yeah (My Life, My Life—all day, all night)

My Life (My Life, My Life—no stress, no strife)

It’s My Life Ooh (My Life, My Life—all day, all night)

My Life (My Life, My Life—that’s right, its’ my life)

Top of the morning, stretch and yawning

Cheese omelet with grits before I fall in

I make moves son, my homies calling

Ain’t no plans for the day because we balling

Smooth as silk to the hilt, they call me daddy

We rolling deep in my drop top caddy

I keep the vibe going, check the melody

Ya’ll got to feel it My Life, Live Free

It’s My Life Yeah (My Life, My Life—all day, all night)

My Life (My Life, My Life—no stress, no strife)

It’s My Life Ooh (My Life, My Life—all day, all night)

My Life (My Life, My Life—that’s right, its’ my life)

I kept my focus, rose from the sewers to a

Black Enterprise, entrepreneur

Never backstabbed, I didn’t cut throat

I kept producing beats, and after that I wrote

Gave no time to the haters, told me I was wack

I’m on the road to riches and never looking back

It took a life time, they started hearing me

Time waits for no one, so Live Free

It’s My Life Yeah (My Life, My Life—all day, all night)

My Life (My Life, My Life—no stress, no strife)

It’s My Life Ooh (My Life, My Life—all day, all night)

My Life (My Life, My Life—that’s right, its’ my life)

7. Ask Me To (3:44)

(1st place Pop/Rock/Alt/R&B, Grand Prize Winner)

So was it worth it?

And do you look back happy with the choices you made?

The pages filled with memories and ink already dry

Do you second-guess your character and stop to wonder why?

And all my failings and every moment, I'd rewrite if I could

Can we push beyond our history and empty out your heart?

Can we separate the lessons learned from what tears us apart?

Pre-Chorus

So take this as a warning,

Listen as I say: I'd wrap my arms around the world and spin the other way.

If it meant that I could take back every time you hurt,

I'd use my tears upon your heart to wash away the dirt.

Chorus:

If your heart wouldn't beat I'd give you mine.

Without a second thought.

And if it was within my reach I'd turn back time.

I wouldn't mind reliving this with you.

If only you would, Just ask me to.

We've made it this far

And through the darkness we've stumbled and we've fell.

And getting to my feet again, you've offered out your hand.

In spite of our intentions life does't always go as planned.

I'm far from perfect, and how you know it

and love me any way.

Sometimes I live inside my head,

And tear myself apart.

You've pushed beyond my shallowness and filled an empty heart.

8. I Can't Wait To Love You (3:26)

(1st place Patriotic/Inspirational/Worship, 3rd place Grand Prize)

Someone came to tell me

You wouldn't be in My Arms

I knew that i could make it through

But it sure would be so hard

Because our love has been so strong

And stood the storms of life

No matter what the future holds

The Lord will make it all right

CHORUS:

I can't wait to love you

for the rest of my life

I will cherish every moment here

With you by my side

We're only passing through this world

So I'll make the most of this time

My darling I will love you

Love always your wife

I hated knowing you'd be gone

And missing all that's home

The kids and I, family and friends

Praying while your gone

Fighting for our freedom there

And knowing God's with you

Gives me hope to carry on

So I can make it through

CHORUS

MY darling I will love you

Oh Oh

MY darling I will love you

Oh Oh

MY darling I will love you

Love always your wife

Vocals: Jill Charles

Guitar: Matt Goss, worship leader of Lancaster County Bible Church in Manheim,PA.

"I dedicate this song to my best friend the love of my life, SSG Robert Charles US Army."

9. Different Side (4:07)

(2nd place Pop/Rock/Alt/R&B)

I’m sorry what’d you say

I can never hear right

I’ve been so distracted these days

If you could see through my eyes

Then maybe you’d see me a little bit differently

I don’t need your fake sympathy for me to feel like

I, I kinda wanna scream out loud that

I, I wanna escape the crowd and

Everyone here will try and make some sense of this and

Everyone will ask me why and what’s the point of it and

Everyone here must know my current state of mind

Everyone here can see I have a different

Side, side, I have a different

Side, side, I have a different side

I’m sorry I couldn’t give

Everything you needed from me

This is no way to live

So deep in secrecy and

Maybe you need me to live a life I just can’t lead

Or be someone I just can’t be and that’s why

I, I kinda wanna scream out loud that

I, I wanna escape the crowd and

Everyone here will try and make some sense of this and

Everyone will ask me why and what’s the point of it and

Everyone here must know my current state of mind

Everyone here can see I have a different

Side, side, I have a different

And everyone wants to feel like they're apart of it

And no one's acting real they're not so different

I’m sorry I couldn’t find a way to live life without my

Different, different, without my different side

And everyone here

Everyone here will try and make some sense of this and

Everyone will ask me why and what’s the point of it and

Everyone here must know my current state of mind

Everyone here can see I have a different

Side, side, I have a different

Side, side, I have a different side

I have a different

I am different

10. 100 Feet Short Of Being A Texan (3:36)

(3rd place Folk/Bluegrass/Country)

Fields of blue bonnets everywhere] see

Out front Texas longhorns underneath a mesquite tree

I watch that Texas sunset from my porch and it makes me cry

Cause I live on the wrong side of that Texas state line

CHORUS: Cause,

I'm a hundred feet short of being a Texan

Living on the wrong side of that state line

If i only lived a hundred feet in the other direction

I'd be Texas born and bred and I'd be fine

But instead I find i'm outside looking in on the Lone Star State

By a little trick of geography I've been dealt one hell of a fate

I'm a hundred feet short of being a Texan

Living on the wrong side of that state line

Like my neighbors I wear cowboy hats and drive old pick up trucks

We waik the same and we talk the same but I'm stili out of luck

'Cause they've got something I ain't got and it's a doggone shame

On their address they can put "Texas" right after their name

CHORUS

Well when those Sons of the Alamo laid the border down

And drew that Texas state line right there on the ground

I understand why they stopped at the Rio Grande

Ah but in these parts why couldn't they took just a hundred feet more land

CHORUS

Might as well be a hundred miles

12. If Tomorrow Were A Dream (4:26)

(2nd place Folk/Bluegrass/Country, 2nd place Grand Prize)

Every road they've traveled, Has been a constant battle

With the IED's and RPG's, KIA's everyday it seems

The country our granddad's fought for, Isn't the same they died for

When will we just all, Agree on one thing

Chorus

If tomorrow were a dream,

The world would live in harmony

Between the countries of today,

Wars would be of yesterday

If tomorrow were a dream,

Martin Luther King would be

Standing here with me,

Color wouldn't mean a thing

Our soldiers fight in foreign lands,

Just doing they're jobs for Uncle Sam

They may not work from 9 to 5,

And they don't get paid for overtime

Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,

There those that just don't give a dam

And it's hard to say who wrong or right,

When you see the news every single night

But I know there's been some fans of mine,

Who have paid the price first hand and died

And if you ask their families,

They'd say the cost of freedom far from free

Chorus

We continue to fight for freedom,

While arguing over the reasons

While many criticize us,

It's the politics that divides us.

The soldiers of the Red, White and Blue:

May not be from Park Avenue

But they fought and died for freedom,

They fought for me and you

And I know there's been some fans of mine,

Who have paid the price firsthand and died

And if you ask their families,

They'd say ther-cost of freedom far from free

Chorus

The soldiers of the Red, White and Blue,

May not be from Park Avenue

Other winning song lyrics------

Soldier

My day starts early every morning

Just before the crack of dawn

I have to suit up and get ready

Because the fighting carries on

M¥ heart beats and my hands are shaking

I m not afraid to say I'm scared

I wont forget all of my brothers

The ones that fought beside me there

The flag I proudly wave

It's your life that I save

And you don't even care

The pain that we go through

All protecting you, and I don't

think it's fair

There is no cure for the way I feel (switch the 1st two lines for better form)

All I do is wonder why

The breaking point is coming slower

With each and every man that's killed

I know it's left up to the Lord

About the outcome of this war

We know just what we're fighting for

But I can't take the pain no more

The flag I proudly wave

It's your life that I save

And you don't even care

The pain that we go through

All protecting you, and I don't

I don't think its fair

think it's fair

When I Came Home

When I came home,

There were no trumpets to be heard,

In a hospital room,

I woke up screaming, sterile white

And he said to me, don't worry, everything's gonna be alright

And he said to me, you're hurting, but you can't give up the fight,

and I wondered how he knew my name that night,

then it came to me in plain sight.

When I came home

the world was different, cold as ice

I searched alone,

for something familiar, jaded life

And he said to me, don't worry, everything's gonna be alright,

And he said to me, you're hurting, but you can't give up the fight

and i wondered how he knew my name that night,

then it came to me in plain sight

when I came home,

I found the music I'd been missing,

I write alone, a simple memoir of my history,

when I came home...

When I came home,

There were a billion Stars to see,

In a crowded room,

I heard a single prayer for me

And he said to me, Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright,

And he said to me, you're hurting, but you can't give up the fight,

and I wondered how he knew my name that night

then it came to me in plain sight

When I came home,

I found the music I'd been missing

I write alone, a simple memoir of my history

when I came home this time.

This is a special calling, I’ve got no regrets

We stand steadfast until our last breath

Verse 2

Its’ O’ dark thirty, you know the saying man

My bags are all packed; it’s time to leave again

Six months to a year in the sandbox

Ten hours in the air before my first stop

This is the hard part, my families at the gate

Transportation’s broke, so we have to wait

Family’s heartbroken, and I can see the tears

I play it strong and hold them till they disappear

It's Not Your Turn to Cry

How could you hurt me so

Just when I thought I had it all You just let me go

You dido't even let me know No one needs to know now Exactly how I felt

I see your head in your hand now And I just say to myself

It's not you turn to cry

I've wasted all these tears

For a love I thought would never disappear I may have had my doubts

They never seemed to die

You shouldn't sit around and wonder why It's not your turn to cry

Was it something that I did Was it something that I said Was it all a big mistake

All these questions in my head

No one needs to know now Exactly how I felt

I see your head in your hand now And I just say to myself

It's not you turn to cry

I've wasted all these tears

For a Jove I thought would never disappear I may have had my doubts

They never seemed to die

You shouldn't sit around and wonder why It's not your turn to Cty

It's not you turn to cry

For a love I thought would never disappear I may have had my doubts

They never seemed to die

You shouJdn't sit around and wonder why It's not your turn to cry (3x's)
