Over the River and Through the Woods
Over the river and through the wood,To
grandfather's house we goThe horse knows the
wayTo carry the sleigh, Through the white and
drifted snow, oh!Over the river and through the
wood,Oh, how the wind does blow!It stings the
toes,And bites the nose,As over the ground we
go.

Over the river and through the wood,To have a
first-rate playOh, hear the bell
ring,"Ting-a-ling-ling!"Hurrah for Thanksgiving
Day-ay!Over the river and through the wood,Trot
fast my dapple gray!Spring over the ground,Like
a hunting hound!For this is Thanksgiving Day.

With Arms Wide Open

• Well I just heard the news today It seems my
  life is going to change I closed my eyes, begin
  to pray Then tears of joy stream down my face
  With arms wide open Under the sunlight
  Welcome to this place I'll show you everything
  With arms wide open With arms wide open

• Well I don't know if I'm ready To be the man I
  have to beI'll take a breath, I'll take her by
  my side We stand in awe, we've created life
  With arms wide openUnder the sunlight Welcome
  to this place I'll show you everything With
  arms wide open Now everything has changed I'll
  show you love I'll show you everything With
  arms wide open With arms wide open I'll show
  you everything ...oh yeahWith arms wide
  open..wide open

Over and Over Again

• Cause its all in my headI think about it over
  and over againAnd I cant keep picturing you with
  himAnd it hurts so badCause its all in my
  headI think about it over and over againI
  replay it over and over againAnd I cant take
  it, I cant shake it no I cant wait to see
  youWanna see if you still got that look in your
  eyeThat one you had for me before we said our
  goodbyesAnd its a shame that we gotta spend our
  time being mad about the same things (over and
  over again) about the same things (over and over
  again)Oohhh but I think shes leaving Oohhh
  man shes leaving I dont know what else to do
  Tim Cant go on not loving you

• I remember the day you leftI remember the last
  breath you took right in front of meWhen you
  said that you would leaveI was too damn stubborn
  to try to stop you or say anythingBut I see
  clearly nowAnd this choice I made keeps playing
  in my head (over and over again) play in my head
  (over and over again)

The Big Moment

• Above the ground high on the ladder,
• I hear the people below me chatter.
• Onto the narrow but large flat board
• I see a long, twisted microphone cord.
• Around me the wind blows the air
• Through my long, thick, twisted hair.
• Toward the water I do three flips
• Into the water I splash and I dip.
