"Big Picture"
No More Crying ©1989 by Wondrous Music
I can see a world with, no more crying
See a world with, no more pain
I love the world, no more crying
Hey now, no more pain
You mess with me, I mess with you,
how can that be, no more crying
I hit you, so you hit me,
how can that be, no more pain
A child say, "I want my way",
the parent says, "please", no more crying
Get out of line, there'll be a beatin',
how can that be, no more pain
(Say) no, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain
No, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain
A white man comes and he hits a black
And then he says no more crying
Black man vows to hit him back
and then he says... no more pain
We fight and we pray and we pray and we fight
and we fight and we fight,... no more crying
We fight and we pray and we pray and we fight
and we maim and we kill for no more pain
Say, no, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain
A garden grows to feed the world
and the well-fed world says no more crying
We can learn to read and we can learn to write
and we can be in no more pain
I can see a world with,... no more crying
I can see a world,... no more pain
I love the world,... no more crying
Hey now, no more pain
Say, no, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain
Say, no, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain
Say, no, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain
Say, no, no, no, more crying
No, No, No, more pain...

It's Your Day ©1987 by Wondrous Music
It's your day.... yeah,
It's your day... yeah,
It's your day... yeah
White collar down the street, smoking a fine cigar
He's drinking "caffelatte" , he's got a “Beamer” car
He does the health club daily, he owns the local bar
He has social connections, he's bound for glory....
Days,... yeah
It's your day,... yeah,
It's your day,... yeah
Set your mine, free
Set your soul, free
Clear your mine, free,... free
Came from a broken home he doesn't have a clue
Of what the paper says, what's in that can of stew
His secret's safe until he finally gets a sign
It's name is education, he's bound for better...
Times,... yeah
It's your time,... yeah
It's your time,... yeah
It's your day,... yeah

I Gotta Run ©1988 William C. Kelly
I gotta run, gotta run I gotta go, gotta run
I gotta run, gotta go I gotta go, gotta run
My baby's crying...
I found the land; I cleared the field
I got the plan; I got the feel
For work all day; I sleep at night
I smoke no more and I don't get tight...
Chorus:
I know a man, he always prayed
To have the doe to only play
He bought a ticket to Timbuktu
He packed a brand new shirt and an old attitude...
Chorus:
You’re so free;... you’re so cool...
You eat alone;... you got no rules...
You got no pressure... from day to day,...
Without those heavy shades you'd blow away...
Chorus:
If there's a point, I tell you now
I don't know why, I don't know how
But I got me a golden rule,
I have fun each day so I don't get blue
(...It could work for you!)
Chorus:
My baby's crying...
From the CD "Big Picture" (1995)

All Alone ©1988 William C. Kelly
I knew a man, his father's son,
he said of truth there is but one
he kept his secrets to himself
and he kept his answer on the shelf
Just one lonely answer,
for such a lonely life,
He's got no big problems,... all alone
He's "A", O.K.,... all alone
He's got it down,... all alone
He's all alone...
I saw a lady at the mill,
drinking lunch and eating pills
One for the jitters, two for the pain,
one to forget that awful dream
she'll tell you every time,
she gets along just fine, (all alone)
It's no big deal,... all alone
She's got it made,... all alone
She's got it down,... all alone
She's all alone...
___________________
I been up and down and it seems to me
we all got problems, yes indeed
we all got times of pain and woe
we all got times we're all alone
If you don't know right from wrong,
you'll have to carry on, all alone
You best take care,... all alone
Now just beware,... all alone
Now do it right,... all alone
When your all alone...
From the CD "Big Picture" (1995)

Bitter Root River ©1986 William C. Kelly
Cross the Bitter Root River in the winter time
mountains kinda hazy but the sun does shine
on a “blue ticking time-bomb” driving down the road
just to visit some friends
Drive by the house bout a mile or three
got caught up in the scenery
start back-tracking, there's a pup in the yard
and we know we're there
Just in time for some friendly talk, maybe a song or two
Down along the Bitter Root river say goodbye
old bear blues....
Well we make Rye Corner now we're on the road
Headin down the mountains into Idaho
15 miles we cross that state line
and we're on our way
You can do a week here, a couple weeks there
you can lose your voice, you can lose your hair
you can lose your anchor to the same old place
you can gain some friends
Just in time for an all-night drive maybe a number or two
down along the Bitter Root river say goodbye
old bear blues
say goodbye, old bear blues
Goodbye...

Beautiful People ©1985 William C. Kelly
Her hair flows long like a banner in the breeze,
It's a definite tease, definitely
She walks to the sound of a different drum,
The drum she's hearing in her own parade
She's gotta be, one of the beautiful people,
She's gotta be, one of the beautiful people
She's gotta smile makes the sun seem cool
And behind those eyes, she's no fool
If you had connections like her "old man",
Maybe she'd give you a chance
A chance to be, one of the beautiful people
A chance to be, one of the beautiful people
She's got diamonds in her eyes
She's got fire in her heart
She won't compromise
When it comes to love, no
She's got style, she's so unique
Works down the street at a hip boutique
Like a "Grand Orange-Head Shop", number-one hip stop
Only in the trendy towns
Where she is that's where it's at
Hanging in the park she's a real cool cat
If you stay long she'll get to you
And you could be, beautiful too
Oh Yeah, you could be, one of the beautiful people…
From the LP "How Did I Ever Get Like This" (1986)
