    I Won’t Be Here

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    I won’t be here so long
    It’s not up to me
    So if you hear someone callin
    Won’t you feel free

           To go and listen
           Listen
           Listen
           It's all right
           Being here tonight

    I won’t be here so long
    It’s not up to me
    And if you hear someone callin
    You got to feel free

           To go and answer
           Answer
           Answer
           It’s all right
           Being here tonight



    Impossible Man

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    Open road
    Se the sun now Father
    Shine your love around
    Golden meadow
    City forest
    Always followed by the sound

           He’s the impossible man
           Impossible man
           With the impossible man
           You do what you can

    He’s the one
    When there’s no one there
    You’ll find him everywhere
    Not so easy
    No one notices
    Till when they do they stare

           At the impossible man
           Impossible man
           With the impossible man
           You do what you can

    Evening comes
    Friends around the campfire
    Joining in a song
    Time for living
    If you’re loving then
    Your living will be long

           With the impossible man…



    You Loved Me First

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    I have got to tell you right away
    How I really missed a beautiful day
    As though I had nothing to say
    All because I didn’t seek your help in every way

           But you loved me first, and you made me see
           There’s a need for you in every part of me

    Why do things begin to go all wrong?
    Why does weak come easier than strong?
    And the short end comes up, not the long
    And I forget where I belong for a while

           But you loved me first, and you made me see
           There’s a need for you in every part of me

    I tried so hard not to make you mine
    I thought everything would be just fine
    That I didn’t have to drink new wine
    And I didn’t have to take the time to believe

           That you loved me first, and you made me see
           There’s a need for you in every part of me



    Earthmorning Hymn

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    Open our eyes
    And let us see morning, our dawn, our sun
    Within our minds
    Let us know the day has begun

           It’s beginning that matters
           The time of birth
           We start our living
           With every turn, turn of the earth

    Show us the gate
    That we may enter often along our way
    When we return
    With you willing this time we’ll stay

           It’s beginning that matters
           The time of birth
           We start our living
           With every turn, turn of the earth

                   Where is the drum?
                   The song that teaches us why
                   To hear the tune
                   The one meant for us is what we want
                   It can’t begin too soon

    Grant us a light
    To chase the shadows hiding in earth and space
    This as our guide
    Will help us in keeping your pacea

           It’s beginning that matters
           The time of birth
           We start our living
           With every turn, turn of the earth



    Party

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    I'm going to a party
           Don’t you want to go?
    Living in party
           Won’t you?
    Going to a party, yeah
           Won’t you please come and see?
    Now say you’ll come along with me

    There’ll be lots of singing
           Sounds you’ve never heard
    Living like I’m singing
           With you
    There’ll be lots of singing there
           Listen to it all the way
    Before you’re there you’ll want to stay

           Party
           Party

    Going to a party
    Getting closer every day
    Living in a party
    With you
    Going to a party, yeah
           Nothing like I’ve seen before
    Eternal party with you all



    The Days Passing By

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    In the hours of early morning as I hear a baby cry
    I’m reminded of beginnings, of a bird that learns to fly
    For in order to develop every young one breaks the tie

           That would hold it back forever from
           The days passing by
           Oh, the days passing by

    While I work to make a living and I give this life a try
    I am living by the rules that to everyone apply
    While thinking every minute of the ones I can defy

           And still make it to another of
           These days passing by
           Oh, days passing by

    As the sun insists on winding its way across the sky
    Like some hot and holy engine working way up there so high
    I am shadowed by its power, and with a prayer and a sigh
           
           I ask God to give me energy in
           The days passing by
           Oh, days passing by

    As the evening light is fading I still am wondering why
    There is always a beginning while something has to die
    So if life is but a circle, is freedom just a lie?

           Is there any true escaping from
           These days passing by?
           Oh, days passing by



    Ribbons and Sachet

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    If you come to me in ribbons and sachet
    There’ll be a garden everywhere

    If you show to me your palace lovingly
    In every room we’ll find a world

           I’ve found the one
           That I’ve been dreaming of

    If you walk with me in fields growing free
    A brighter day will soon arrive

    And if you tell to me the secrets of the seed
    Another life is born

           I’ve found the one
           That I’ve been dreaming of

                   Come to me now
                   Can’t you see how
                   Come to me now
                   I can see how

    If you talk to me the evening has to be
    Forever painted in the sky

    If you stay with me in all my memory
    The ways we loved will surely last

           I’ve found the one
           That I’ve been dreaming of

    In ribbons and sachet



    Today and Always

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    Fill this room, fill this room
    With your lovin
    Fill this place, fill this place
    With your joy

           No one else I know, no one else I know
           Brings me this feelin
           No one else I know, no one else I know
           Leads me so far away

                   Today and always

    Fill my days, fill my days
    With your visions
    Fill my nights, fill my nights
    With your dreams

           No one else I know, no one else I know
           Brings me this feelin
           No one else I know, no one else I know
           Leads me so far away

                   Today and always



    Saw You Mountain

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    Saw you, mountain, flying high
    And knew I’d want you back again
    Smiling to me from the sky
    Just one of the many shapes you’re in

           Got the felling and it won’t be wrong
           Gonna keep on rolling it all night long
           And maybe there will be more to see

    Cool and green not as far away
    As mountains I’d seen and had hoped were mine
    Getting across by the light of day
    That never seemed she could be so kind

           Got the felling and it won’t be wrong
           Gonna keep on rolling it all night long
           And maybe there will be more to see

    Found my self lost between the slopes
    Of grasses I’d never dreamed before
    Riddles and stories and sometimes hopes
    Discovered each other worth waiting for

           Got the felling and it won’t be wrong
           Gonna keep on rolling it all night long
           And maybe there will be more to see



    When I Greet the Coming World

    Words and Music © Roger Hammer


    When I greet the coming world
    Ever caring
    To a few, solutions are hurled
    Moving on, daring

    New creation’s majesty:
    How’s it going?
    Far beyond uncertainty
    And beyond knowing

           Lifting horizons new
           As I view the lost worlds I borrow
           Find tomorrow

    Clearer visions passing through
    Now relying
    On a mind just waiting to
    Catch a thought flying

           Lifting horizons new
           As I view the lost worlds I borrow
           Find tomorrow

    Thinking now of long ago
    And the wonder
    That became a living glow
    Power of thunder!

           Lifting horizons new
           As I view the lost worlds I borrow
           Find tomorrow
