Lyrics
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you -
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow
And you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today
I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said
"Don't look back, you can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was -
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever;
I should just let 'em go, but
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got the top pulled down
And the radio on, baby
And I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back
And those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Need You Now...
(5:12)
'”The song was inspired initially about an emotional ordeal Plumb had in high school. She explained to New Release Tuesday: "I was taken back to a place where I struggled with anxiety, and I still have that struggle. In high school, it manifested itself through panic attacks. They were terribly painful stomach cramps that were embarrassing and debilitating, and I would find myself hiding in the restroom quoting Isaiah 41:10 over and over to myself."
Lyrics
Well, everybody's got a story to tell
And everybody's got a wound to be healed
I want to believe there's beauty here
'Cause oh I get so tired of holding on
I can't let go I can't move on
I want to believe there's meaning here
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God I need you now.
Standing on a road I didn't plan
Wondering how I got to where I am
I'm trying to hear that still small voice
I'm trying to hear above the noise
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now
Though I walk,
Though I walk through the shadows
And I, I am so afraid
Please stay please stay right beside me
With every single step I take
How many times have you heard me cry out?
And how many times have you given me strength?
How many times have you heard me cry out
"God please take this"?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
I need you now
Oh I need you
God I need you now
I need you now
I need you now

Absence of Fear...
(4:38)
'” Jewel's song 'Absence of Fear' is about the power of small decisions and the importance of standing up to what holds you back.
Explanation
Jewel's song 'Absence of Fear' is about the power of small decisions and the importance of standing up to what holds you back."
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Inside my skin, there is this space
It twists and turns, it bleeds and aches
Inside my heart, there's an empty room
It's waiting for lightning, it's waiting for you
[Chorus]
And I am wanting, I am needing you here
Inside the absence of fear
[Verse 2]
Muscle and sinew, velvet and stone
This vessel is haunted, it creaks and moans
My bones call to you in a separate skin
I make myself translucent to let you in, boy
[Chorus]
I am wanting and I am needing you here
Inside the absence of fear
[Bridge]
There is this hunger, this restlessness inside of me
And it knows that you're no stranger, you're my gravity
My hands will adore you through all darkness aim
They will lay you out in moonlight and reinvent your name
[Chorus]
For I am wanting and I am needing you here
I need you near
Inside the absence of fear

One Love...
(5:13)
'"Pat Benatar's song 'One Love' is about the struggles of people in Africa and the importance of unity. The song also conveys the idea that one love can shine over everyone and lead people to higher ground.
Meaning:
The song's message is that people should unite together to help those who are suffering."
Lyrics
Once there was a man, and he lived to sing the lions song
As he traveled on the road of hope
One love is the light, shining over every mountaintop
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every heart will beat strong against the night
Let it be done right now
Once there was a man, and his words became a song of love
And his song became the golden dream
One love is the light, shining over everyone that believes
It will lead us to the higher ground
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
Some wait, so long
Because our love is strong
This hard road traveled on
Will lead us home, forever
Hear the lion's song, voices cryin' like a desert wind
Yeah he's gone unto his father's land
Afrika tonight, for we truly are one in our hearts
Colors woven in the golden dream
One day every eye will see truth before the light
Let it be done right now
One day every voice will speak strong against the night
Let us be one right now
So let it be
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the children of a thousand days
We are the people of the hard rain
We are the people of the hard rain

Galileo...
(4:11)
"The Indigo Girls' song 'Galileo' is about reincarnation and the search for truth, and is told through the lens of Galileo Galilei. The song is often played at the end of concerts.
Explanation
- Reincarnation - The song explores the idea of reincarnation and whether it means that souls are regenerated for the betterment of all things.
- Galileo Galilei - The song references Galileo Galilei, a 17th century scientist who supported Copernicus's theory that the sun is the center of the universe. Galileo's work with the telescope allowed for clearer physical vision.
- Truth - The song explores the idea of seeking truth and whether it's possible to be true to one's feelings."
Lyrics
Galileo's head was on the block
The crime was lookin' up the truth
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
I try to trace them to my youth
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another life time
How long 'til my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision
King of insight
And then I think about my fear of motion
Which I never could explain
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
Must have crashed his little airplane
How long 'til my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting soul of Galileo king of night vision
King of insight
I'm not making a joke
You know me I take everything so seriously
If we wait for the time 'til all souls get it right
Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation in my life time
I'm still not right
I offer thanks to those before me
That's all I've got to say
'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
Now I have to pay
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
To let the next life off the hook
Or she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life
I think I'll write a book
How long 'til my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach the highest light
Except for Galileo, God rest his soul
King of the night vision, king of insight
How long (until my soul gets it right)
How long (until my soul gets it right)
How long
