Carry On © 2003 Track number: 2 Year: 2003 Album: Spirits Lost + Found © 2003 Genre: Country
A Drifters song Carry On You're standing at the station Tear drops in your eyes You watch as the train pulls out Just as time has passed you by. Carry on. Carry on. There's people all around you You still feel alone You've never shed a tear before Now the moment has come. Your face is like leather Your clothes are worn and torn But compared to the inside Where your spirits almost gone. Carry on. Carry On. Life as you knew it Would Change on this dawn You've tried to do the right thing But it turns out all wrong. Carry on. Carry On It's been so many years You've drifted from your home You've spent so many years Behind those county bars They told you when you left You left that county farm You'ld be walkin and singin the freedom song The only song you sang Kept goin on and on. You reach into your jacket where your friend is kept from harm With a twist of your wrist and a movement from your arm All your fears vanish You feel like you belong. You carry on. Carry on. Carry on You carry on. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2003

Origanaly written in Lioydminster Alberta Saskatchewan borde in 1979 80 A Drifters song Drifter On The Rail © 2003 Early mornin' dusty trail I hear the laughter Drifters on the rail He's got down deep in his heart To never fail, never fail. He's got a guitar strapped on his back He's goin down that old windy track He don't know if he's comin' back This way. This way. He's talked of ladies he loved and left He's talked of ones he loved the best And how highways carried him so far from his home He's got his songs down in his mind The kind that lift his spirit When he's fallen, when he's fallen behind Early mornin' dusty rail Hear the laughter. Drifters on the rail He's got it down deep in his heart To never fail, never fail, never fail. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2003

A Drifters life with despair and hard hard drinkin' Day After Day © 2003 So many miles upon the road You're backs a breaken and you can't carry the load. Your down and out. Your feelin' blue. Don't know how you're gonna make it or what's gonna pull you through. That there whiskeys gonna ease the pain Bottle of pills and you're in that game again. It's the same old thing day after day. Runnin' on out just to start it all over again. Your Soul is empty, and your eyes are tired. Your hearts apoundin' from the fears built inside. The nights are long. The wind blows cold. It's only wishful thinkin' there'd be smeone to hold. That there whiskeys gonna ease the pain. Bottle of pills and you're in that game again. It's the same old thing, day after day Runnin' on out just to start it all over again. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2003

Forgiveness © 2004
Forgiveness © 2004 Track number: 1 Year: 2004 Album: Not In Vain © 2004 Genre: Country
To be free of things foregivnes is something that can set us free Forgiveness Sometimes forgiveness don't come easy. Seems there's always a price to be paid. Seems the past has a way of comin' bcck to haunt you some days. I wish it was as easy as the sun a risin' or just sittin' there and watchin' it fall. Sometimes people just won't forgive you. Seems you've done all you can, all you can. Then in a moment of silence I can feel the darkness disappear. I can see that sun a risin'. I can lay there and watch it fall. I know my prayers have been answered. I can feel serenity flow again. Sometimes forgiveness don't come easy. Seems there's always a price to be paid. I wish it was as easy as the sun a risin' or just sittin' there watch it fall. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2003

Tumbleweed © 2004
Tumbleweed © 2004 Track number: 2 Year: 2004 Album: Not In Vain © 2004 Genre: Country
A drifters life as I was found in alot of bad and good situations as an addict alcoholic flyin high all over North America . Tumbleweed © 2004 He drifted like a tumbleweed blowin' in the wind. Across the countryside, searchin' within. Once in a while he'd be caught up in the barbed wire fence again. Year after year his mind would slowly fade. Not often remembering when or where he'd been. Or if he'd been there at all and seen the things he'd seen. After awhile blowin' in the wind they'd stop to visit with some friends. They'd open up the door and answer with a grin. They'd tell him your not welcome here again . He'd pick up his grip and wonder what's with them. Not often remembering what he'd done or where he'd been or what he'd said to them back then. Some time ago back when. He drifted like tumbleweed blowin' in the wind. Across the country side searchin' for for within. Once in a while he'd be caught up in the barbed wire fence again. Not often remembering when or where he'd been . Or if he'd even seen the things he'd seen. written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2004

Song of the thins Fear has taken from life. Country blues more ?Fear 2004 Fear inside is something there robs of things never dared, We wanted to but could not go, because of this we would not know. Tremblin' mind Tears unshed were held inside for many years. I wanted to but did not say , scared to believe it was the way. Oh, it was the way. What would they those people think, would they think that you are week. You did not tell someone you cared, how much they meant to you when there. Now they've gone away today, you had your chance but did not say. Fear inside has taken ' way all those things of yesterday. Tomorrow does not have to be the same old thing to never see. Fears you have can be released. Fears you have can be released Higher Power oh set you free. Higher Power oh set you free. Set you free ,Set you free , Set you free, Set you free Written by Raymond

The music came a 2 years later 1st album release as well Spirits Lost + Found © 1999 Troubled mind brings troubled thoughts Open bottle brings broken hearts A young Soul so soon destroyed All his angers are then employed May one see through eyes so black. Spirit Once So Deep Inside Spirit Once So Deep Inside Days of joy were often told A young man dreams of ones to hold Days go by his thoughts within turn to dreams a glass would bring Spirits Flowing. Flowing Wild His age appears upon his face A lust for life's a morbid maze A jug or two will fill the place where once a boy and Spirit grazed Spirit Gone. Gone astray But don't forget that God Inside Was not released just pushed aside Many know they live and grow Spirit now within he'll know To open up his blackened Soul Bring him hope he once had known Spirit Growing, Growing Slow Spirit Growing, Growing Slow His eyes of black they soon will glow A hateful heart shall turn and go Older now but young at heart His Higher Power release the dark Spirit now that he has found Makes him dance on sordid ground Makes him dance on sordid ground Makes him dance on sordid ground Raymond Allan Kuran © 1999

Still water vanished the pebble was gone. Reflections of a young man disappeared, they'ld be gone. With the ripples that travelled the drifter was gone. He travelled for years as he sauntered along. With time he cast thunder as he hurried along. Day of still water were gone. Well it seemed like a long time ago. When he broke that still water just barely afloat. Oh Lord, how do I get home? How do I get home? Life seemed a hurricane. Then he heard the voice. Go on back to the pond where still water broke. He escaped from the storm that he lived in so long. As he opened up his Soul to the voice that he heard oh so strong. Found himself back at still water pond. Still water pond. Still water pond.

You We're Callin'
You We're Callin' Track number: 8 Year: 2005 Album: Let It Sine © 2005 Genre: Bluegrass
Lyrics + Credits You Were Callin' Well it was many years ago. I decided it was time to leave home. I stood at the crossroads with all I owned. I thought I was by myself but I was not alone. You were callin', yes you were callin' You were callin' out my name. If I was fallin'? If I was fallin'? You'ld be there to pick me up again. Most of the time I'd wonder where to go. I'ld just stick my thumb out and off I would blow. Twenty some odd years had finally passed. I never realized those monkeys on my back. You were callin', yes you were callin' You were callin' out my name. If I was fallin'? If I was fallin'? You'ld be there to pick me up again. I came close to the end of bein' six feet under, with you my only friend. Now I realize in this life. I've been givin' another chance to make it right. So when I'm callin'. Lord when I'm callin'. It's to thank you once again. So when I'm callin'. Lord when I'm callin'. It's to ask for guildens right til the end. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2005 Credits Grateful To have worked with on.

Since You've Been Gone © 2005
Since You've Been Gone © 2005 Track number: 9 Year: 2005 Album: Let It Shine © 2005 Genre: Country
Lyrics + Credits Redone in 2005 Since You've Been Gone © 2003 Since you've been gone I've fallen in love again With a bottle ain't that strange. Well I don't remember when I don't remember then Sometimes I don't remember at all A Young man driften and dreamin' all alone. Further and further I fell from my home. For all the things I had learned those years ago. Seemed to disappear on the road. With his wathchful eye lookin' after me. I never really understood why? Of all the things I had done along the way. Why didn't they throw away the key and say goodbye. Good bye my son,goodbye. Then it came to me upon an early morn' as I rose from my knees. I could see this reflection in the mirror Tellin' me my time has come My time had come. Since I learned to pray. To forgive and say. Well I was wrong oh so wrong. All the fault was mine, time after time. Forgive me for the pain. I've caused you All the pain those years ago. When I thought you were gone I'd fallen in love again With a bottle ain't that strange. Well I don't remember when I don't remember then Sometimes I don't remember at all Seems things change after all. Yes things change after all those years ago.

Lyrics + Credits Try To Build A Mountain What's a troublin' you my friend do you want to let me know? Is it something that your hangin' onto and won't let go? Or is it something you wanna work out on your own? I can feel the tear drops within my Soul. Why don't you try to build a mountain? You'll find your Kingdom there. You say you wanna run away and hide somewhere today. Just remember one thing, what you pack insides gonna follow you along the way. Why don't you try to build a mountain? You'll find your Kingdom there. You say you wanna rise with the eagles today. Your so close to the ground that you'ld better be on your way. Why don't you try to build a mountain? You'll find your Kingdom there. You say you want all your prayers to be answered today. They will come to you when your ready in their own special way. Why don't you try to build a mountain? You'll find your Kingdom there. Why don't you try to build a mountain? You'll find your Kingdom there. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2005 Credits Grateful To have worked with on.

Hard Times Made The Good Times © 2005 Track number: 11 Year: 2005 Album: Let It Shine © 2005 Genre: Country
Lyrics + Credits Hard Times Made The Good Times I don't see much of the driftin' kind, upon those roads anymore. The ones that moved from town to town. Never carin' where their bound. Sleepin' underneath a bridge. Anyplace that's what we did. Any place that's what we did. Oh, them hard times made the good times, make the memories that I know. Ya, them hard times made the good times. Make the memories that I know. Hard work was easy to find. We'ld just look for the railroad line. Stay awhile and make your pay. Then you'ld best be on your way. Ya, you'ld best be on your way. Oh, them hard times made the good times, make the memories that I know. Ya, them hard times, made the good times. Make the memories that I know. There were many, many nights in the dimness of the jailhouse lights. I would have to take the rebel way just to make it through the day. Just to make it through the day. Oh, them hard times made the good times, make the memories that I know. Ya, them hard times made the good times. Make the memories that I know. In the fall time, in them meadows. Just beneath those mountain tops. We would gather all thogether, just to pick the magic crop. Just to pick the magic crop. Oh, them hard times made the good times, make the memories that I know. Ya, them hard times made the good times. Make the memories that I know. Make the memories that I know.

Lyrics + Credits Let It Shine Well I can see you there layin' on the street. By the smell of the death down at your feet. Oh Lordy, Lordy open up the door. I can see that look into your eyes All I see is the yellow of disease and a smile of disguise, of disguise. Oh Lordy, Lordy open up the door. You say you got that their monkey on your back. By the looks of your body my friend, I'd say your runnin' out of track. Out of track. Oh Lordy, Lordy open up the door. Oh Lordy, Lordy let the love light shine. Let It Shine. Why don't you take my hand my friend? We will go to the promised land. Go on and take my hand, we will go to a place where the eagles land. Oh Lordy, Lordy open up the door. Oh Lordy, Lordy let the love light shine. Let It Shine. Let It Shine. Let It Shine. Written by Raymond Allan Kuran © 2005 Credits Grateful To have worked with on.
