More Than Alright
by Daniel Work (ASCAP) c2012
Some songs are soft and sweet
I know this song lacks a back beat
And yet you might just like it
I wrote this song to overcome the blues
(chorus) I'm (we’re) feelin' more than alright
Somehow this tune's got me lovin' life
Singing this song, lettin’ go of bad news
Come on everybody don't you feel it too
I'm feelin' so much more than alright
Could it be I'm almost over
almost over the blues
I know it's just a silly song
but maybe you could sing along with me, uh huh
It might feel strange and you’re afraid
that you might sing a little out of tune
I saw you sway from side to side then start
to mouth the words along with me, you did
Sing along to overcome our blues
Chorus
Hardly ever, maybe never
gonna feel this blue
Chorus
Chorus

I Am
by Daniel Work & Jake Oken-Berg (ASCAP), c2010
Spreading across the plains
before there were others, others to blame
Those who care and those who don't but maybe should
We're polarized, so self-serving
Revolving doors they keep turning, turning
Why are we just looking in
We counted once, here we are again
What is, what is
I am, I am American
The republic to Republicans, our democracy to the Democrats
Used to think we're better than that
A house divided can not stand
Used to think we gave a damn
Campaign checks for the undeserving
Out on the streets who are you serving
What is, what is
I am, I am ready to stand
Where is, where is this land of love
I am American
What is, what is
I am, I am ready to stand
Where is, where is this land of love
We elect you to lead
I am American

Rhapsodize
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2012
I hope and desperately pray
You won't forget our wonderful days
Relax your fist, reach for my hand
Let me hold you tight, I'm a better man
Give our love a second chance
Remember when we fell in love
unending nights, amazing hugs
Open your heart, let me touch your skin
feel my love before we end
Our time, is it all gone
Unspoken words, unthinkable wrongs
Just breathe, let tomorrow in
(chorus) Hope and love will get us through the night
Don't give up your dreams keep them alive
Rhapsodize, believe with all your might
Don't give up your dreams, don't let them die (don't be denied)
(bridge) I'll be there to take your hand
Believe, believe; believe in me, cuz my love never ends
Close your eyes, do you see my face
Let me kiss your lips though I've made mistakes
I didn't mean to fall from grace
We cried and yelled, our voices strained
and ugly times brought intentional pain
We used to smile and loved to play
until I stumbled and fell that day
Broke your dreams, shattered your faith
But I'll still protect wherever you lay
Please reach out to me, Chorus, Bridge, (believe, believe)
I'll hold your hand (believe, believe)
Please don't fade away. Am I too late to be your friend

This Tear
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2010
This tear, this tear I shed for you
My friend, the one who's always true
I've nothing left to lose, all that I can do
This tear I shed for you
I left, to sail out on my own
For too long I meant to make it home
Though your gracious smile was never far away
Your love keeps me so warm, protects me in my storms
I thought I'd touch you once again
‘Til your life came to a shattered end
But the love you shared will never leave my side
Ever since you were taken away that painful cold, dark day
Just hanging on without you
My love for you can never die
Your gracious smile will survive
This tear, this tear I shed for you
Not much, but all that I could do
You're always in my heart
We'll never be far apart
This smile's just for you

Don't Tell Me No
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2012
I dress in black surrounded by eight men
They protect me from Armageddon
I never drive, never wait in line
cuz Marine One flies me right on time. Don't, don't tell me no
When I deplane strike up the band
When I feel blue I just summon BB King
All my desires so deep inside
My secret service they keep me satisfied
Don't, don't tell me no, they'll never tell
(chorus) I can get anything, anyone I want
I get what I want when I want it
A fast Lamborghini or Madonna singing to me
People line up just to thrill me
And If I don't get it I'll do more than throw a fit
cuz I, I am the President
Don't, don't tell me no, don't tell me no
Don't bring me beer, I want scotch aged eighty years
Don't keep me waiting, my FBI is feared
I could fish out on the deep blue sea
up on the deck of a big U.S. destroyer. Don't, don't tell me no
Most people fear the IRS
but I dare 'em to audit my trails
A house divided, lobbyist unnamed
Selfishly voting for their own campaigns
Don't, don't tell me no, I'm not to blame
Chorus
I must be right, I am the great decider
I can't be wrong, I am your President
No need to drink with this much power
Don't need your money, had all I can devour
Don't tell me no

A Day In The Life (of a dog)
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2011
Each morning I lie and wait
for you to open my cute wooden gate
Sometime after your warm cup of coffee
I'll get treated to a bowl of dry food
The name on my tag is Fred
and no I don't like to beg
You know that I try to obey
but why would you want me to stay
I sit in a room on the floor with a rug
and my own little private door
Look out to the yard every time your car starts
and hope that I won't be ignored
Please don't go away
Please don't go away again today
A day in the life of a dog
I'm so lucky cuz you left me a bone
To chew while waiting, thank God you're finally home
Oh really, you think you're gonna make me
Sit, sit before I, before I get to eat
I'll sit when you say to eat
I'll even stay put for treats
but sometimes I want something to chew
It might be your couch so sorry it's new
Day after day, week after week
Cup after cup, it's all I eat
That dog food you buy in the hundred pound bag
It's no big surprise that it’s cheap
Why can't I have table food
Why, oh why, can't I have table food
A day in the life of a dog
Well I'm not alone tonight
It must of been a terrible fight
So I'll make some room for you on my bed
But just don't expect to ever get fed
Stay, don't ever leave
Stay and sit right next to me
A day in the life of a dog

Bop-ba-do-Baa
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2012
Sey-e'-d-en-a, te-ab-ba-og
Cou-mit-ta-da-nim, zim-be-doo-be-waa
Sey-e'-d-en-a, te-ab-ba-og
I swear this is true cuz I know what I heard
but everything he sang sounded so absurd, yeah
He said, Cou-mit-ta-da-nim, zim-be-doo-be-waa
Sey-e'-d-en-a, te-ab-ba-og (bop-ba-do-baa, bop-ba-do-baa)
Drift away, take a trip. Jump on our musical refrain
Sure this cat he can really sing
but each and every word didn't mean a thing, yeah
I carefully listened but couldn't tell what he sang
Cuz the music's kinda loud and the words a bit strange, yeah
He said, bop-ba-do-baa, bop-ba-do-baa
Drift away, take a trip. Jump on our musical refrain
When I close my eyes let my mind run free
as my body feels the music the words speak to me
Cou-mit-ta-da-nim, zim-be-doo-be-waa
Sey-e'-d-en-a, te-ab-ba-og
He said, bop-ba-do-baa, bop-ba-do-baa
Drift away, take a trip. Jump on our musical refrain
While this cat scats differently than me
hidden in his jibber-jabber were thoughts I do believe, yeah
Shut down your mind, fire up your soul
It's time to close your eyes and let your body flow, yeah
He said, Cou-mit-ta-da-nim, zim-be-doo-be-waa
Sey-e'-d-en-a, te-ab-ba-og (bop-ba-do-baa, bop-ba-do-baa)
Drift away, take a trip. Jump on our musical refrain

Move On
by Daniel Work & Marv Ross (ASCAP), c2011
Zoobie do waa, zoobie do waa; zoobie do be do waa (twice)
Move on, yeah you, come on, leave your troubles behind
Move on, yeah you, come on, you know it's been a long time
Nights are way too long, I feel I don't belong
When the sun 'round here disappears
Every time it's colder, this angel on my shoulder says
Move on, get out of here
(pre-chorus) It's been a long time, such a long time
Been a long time since you, since you've been home
Time to make your getaway, come escape with me
(chorus) Move on, oh yeah, sweet Savannah
Move on, oh yeah
Come on back to Savannah or even Atlanta
Nothing left to do, my work here is through
Time to find a new one to love
Tell the boys goodbye, be sure to tell them why
An angel spoke from above
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Back Jack, back to Savannah
Get back Jack, groovin' with Santana
Get back Jack, back to your Georgia
Back where they want you
Move on, oh yeah, back to Savannah, move on, yeah you
Come on leave your troubles behind
Move on, move on, move on, move on
Zoobie do waa, zoobie do waa
Leave your troubles behind

The One
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2011
When we met, won't forget
How your touch made me feel
Deep inside, so excited
Finally fulfilled, my soul's completely yours
You are the one, the one that I run to
You are the one, the one I adore
You'll always be (the one that I run to)
The only one (you are)
The truly only one (the one that I run to)
The one I adore
I'll hold you every night, ‘til you fall asleep
And when you wake, every moment
You can count on me
To be the one, to be the friend you'll need
I am the one that you can run to
I am the one you can adore
You'll always be (the one that I run to)
The only one (you are)
The truly only one (the one that I run to)
The one I adore
You are the one (the one that I run to)
The only one (you are)
Cuz you'll always be (the one that I run to)
The truly only one I still adore
And when we're out of time
You'll be the one I loved
You are, you are the one. The only one

At This Moment
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2011
They called you names then laughed as you cried
I can feel your anger deep inside
But at this moment
Our neighbor's child gets barely fed
Her parents fight while she hides in bed
So at this moment
Thank God I'm fine, my kids are alright
I've got to stop being so uptight
(chorus) Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
I'm living at this moment
Now's all that really matters
Tomorrow's another day
Be at this moment like it's your last
I get we're feeling overstressed
So self absorbed maybe life's a mess
but at this moment
A young boy's life is in his own hands
Not seventeen just the beginning not the end
So at this moment
Someone please reach out to him
Give him hope, let his life just begin
Chorus
Why look so straight ahead, there's time to look around
The future can be steep to climb
So take each step one at a time
Chorus
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow, tomorrow's far away

If All You Need Is Love
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), copyright 2011
If everyone needs love
how do people die alone
If all they wanted and all we felt was love
The busy streets are full
with friends we could have known
If all we felt and all we gave was love
(chorus) All you need is love
That's what The Beatles said
If all we need is love ya
We'd never be alone
Let's love one another
That's what the Bible says
Treat everybody like your brother baby
Now that is perfect love
If all we need is love
why is there so much hate
If all we needed, if all we got was love
The Beatles might have lied
and the scriptures may be wrong
But what if all we got and all we gave was love
Chorus
(perfect love)
