I once had a vision of the world that could be Just Ten Little Wishes dreaming how it should be On the front porch talking or making music with my friends On the river walking and wishing it would never end These are my hopes these are my prayers Ten Little Wishes These are my hopes these are my prayers Ten Little Wishes And in my vision of the world that could be No poverty no riches no sign of the glaring need No children missing and no more vanishing No pain no hunger no people living on the street This is my hope this is my prayer Ten Little Wishes This is my hope this is my prayer Ten Little Wishes Ten Little Wishes

Somewhere a voice is dying in the darkness Somewhere a soul is crying for release Somewhere a victim is busy blaming someone Somebody's lost in the belly of the beast A long lonely vigil with no end in sight A soldier on watch on a cold winter's night A burning sensation an unfillable void A sucking, hungry insatiable hole Somewhere Satan he waits eternal Somewhere a checkered Harlequin weeps Somewhere a sinner cries out for redemption Somewhere a child in contentment sleeps But the monkey takes the man Lead Somewhere a puppy eats trash in an alley Somewhere a kitten has been left all alone Somewhere an orphan will go to bed hungry Somewhere a wino sleeps the sleep of the stoned Somewhere Satan he waits eternal Somewhere a checkered Harlequin weeps Somewhere a sinner cries out for redemption Somewhere a child in contentment sleeps The monkey takes the man

There's a question we all ask of ourselves Am I weak or am I strong enough? Like a glass that just keeps falling off the shelf Am I weak or am I strong enough? Whoa, people tell me I don't know what to believe Am I weak or am I strong enough? Is there something I can do with this need? Am I weak or am I strong enough? For all of these questions we just have to look within Are we strong enough to make it or will we just give in Will I always be a stranger or will I believe God give me strength for what's ahead of me Am I weak am I strong enough? 4X On your shoulders there's such a heavy weight Am I weak am I strong enough? Is there time or is it really just too late? Am I weak am I strong enough? Who ever thought that this would be the shape I'm in? There's so much to do and I don't know where to begin If I'd have known this was coming I'd have been a better me I'd be shining like a lighthouse for al the world to see Am I weak or am I strong enough?

The hours turn to minutes on the dream farm Your wishes all come true on the dream farm Money really grows on trees on the dream farm Find all the things you need on the dream farm The air is really sweet on the dream farm Life is so complete on the dream farm The gardeners are my friends on the dream farm The good times never end on the dream farm It's the picture of happiness Everything more or less You could come and be my guest On the dream farm On the dream farm High up in the air it's the dream farm Smoke away your cares when you're on the dream farm You'll find Luna there on the dream farm She'll do more than her share down on the dream farm The kids all lend a hand on the dream farm It all goes to Geo's plan down on the dream farm There's gold in them there hills And life can be so still You could come and get your fill On the dream farm On the dream farm Twelve string lead Both their thumbs are green on the dream farm Life is just a dream down on the dream farm I don't wanna be awake on the dream farm Its early or its late I'm on the dream farm It's all a happy fog on the dream farm Life with cats and dogs on the dream farm Life is just a cloud on the dream farm You can really laugh out loud on the dream farm It's the picture of happiness Everything more or less You could come and be my guest On the dream farm

We're one happy family 6X It doesn't matter if the washing machine goes Spilling water all over the place It doesn't matter where the water goes We put on a happy face We.ve done so much together There's so much left to see I love you more than ever We're one happy family Here on this mountain under the tress We do our work and do what we please My pretty mama right by my side Children grandchildren come along for the ride Leads Rain or shine it's a beautiful day Bountiful garden what can I say We will remember who's gone away With music and laughter every day We're one happy family

Front porch music Come on in and I will show you all this place that I call home Where you can find a quiet place where you can be alone When you reach the Journey's End you know you're almost there Maybe you can find some comfort in that clean country air A hundred miles from anywhere that's what my Katie says And it's true you really have to want to be there But making front porch music here with all of my good friends Is a jubilation feeling that I never want to end Front porch music it's just a party now it's not the next big thing Front porch music a down home feeling everyone can come and sing Front porch music it's a garden party of the very best kind Front porch music it's a circle and everyone's a friend of mine In a tiny place called Dinsmore there is a country store That carries one of everything The feeling that I live for is alive on that front porch And the good time magic that it brings And the river is a living thing and it doesn't stay the same From day to day reminding me how quickly things can change And as the water gives its life to all the living things Just outside of my front window I can hear the river sing Front porch music it's just a party now it's not the next big thing Front porch music a down home feeling everyone can come and sing Front porch music it's a garden party of the very best kind Front porch music its a circle and everyone's a friend of mine Front porch music Banjo lead Somewhere there's a worried man who's on his way to work Somewhere there's a tired man who's fighting his way home Front porch music can help him find a cure And fill his lonely heart up with music for his soul Front porch music it's just a party now it's not the next big thing Front porch music a down home feeling everyone can come and sing Front porch music it's a garden party of the very best kind Front porch music its a circle and everyone's a friend of mine A friend of mine Front porch music

When love says goodbye it's a bad situation Long after it's gone it stays on your mind You try and you try but you won't find it easy To leave a bad situation behind There are times when you feel so downhearted Your inside is out your upside is down When love says goodbye it's a bad situation It's a bad situation Well newly found love is a reason for living And after you find it you jut can't get enough Then love takes a turn and there's no more forgiving It makes you wonder what happened to love And from that day on you know that you're leaving And its only a matter of time When love says goodbye its a bad situation Its a bad situation Lead There are times when you feel so downhearted Your inside is out your upside is down When love says goodbye it's a bad situation It's a bad situation All the way around Its a bad situation Yes it is

Down To Mad 03:17
I'm down to mad I'm down to mad With the good always comes the bad This is the worst feeling I've ever had I'm down to mad Lazy ol' river rambles on Roars in the winter In the summer it's gone Rollin' water got a life of its own There's a rhythm in its song Down to mad I'm down to mad The key's believing in what you have In this ol' world nothing's gnna last I'm down to mad Leads I'm gonna climb to the mountaintop No direction I can go but going up Gonna leave this city gonna leave this town Right now I'm going down down down down down Down to mad I'm down to mad With the good always come the bad This is the worst feeling I've ever had I'm down to mad I'm down t mad

There's one more angel in the world tonight One new guardian angel by my side A spirit to protect me on a lonely night There's one more angel in the world tonight It's true I never knew you right from the start It didn't take you long to jump into my heart A shining beacon was your courage to see I was left speechless by your dignity There's one more angel in the world tonight In a world full of darkness you will shine a light I get a feeling it's gonna be alright There's one more angel in the world tonight Now I know that flicker in the corner of my eye Will be my angel watching by my side Seeing my struggle with a smile on her face She'll find a way to keep me in my place There's one more angel in the world tonight Like a celestial comet girl you shined your light You burned too fast girl but you burned so bright There's one more angel in the world tonight There's one more angel There's one more angel

about

The Code Violators were a small band Katie and I formed up in northern California. It consisted of the two of us along with George and Lynne Wilson. It was a fun band and we put together a lot of fun songs. We recorded these in a garage with a DAW. It was primitive but fun, and all the equipment in the world can't buy that. Hope you enjoy these singalong songs of joy and love.
