I'm Not Looking Back 03:53

I’m Not Looking Back (Bob Fraser, September 2020) It’s taken me too many years To get beyond the doubts and fears To find a way to start to live again But love has opened up a door and Now I know there’s so much more Than chasing every rainbow through the rain I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back The sun is up, a brand-new day No more thoughts of yesterday I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back When all around is sinking sand I’ve found a rock where I can stand A place where love and mercy always meet There’s rescue every time I fall, And hope and purpose for us all So let’s get up and move those weary feet I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back The sun is up, a brand-new day No more thoughts of yesterday I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back The sun is up, a brand-new day No more thoughts of yesterday I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back I’m not looking back, I’m not looking back I’m not looking back

Never Giving Up 05:57

Never Giving Up (Bob Fraser – January 2020) Walking down the highway, jeans all ripped and torn Peering through the darkness, waiting for the dawn I was cold and lonely, frozen to the core Days seemed long and weary, I couldn’t take much more Icy winds were blowin’, struggled to keep warm Hunkered in a doorway, sheltered from the storm Any comfort I could find would help to numb the pain But I swear to you that I’m not going there again No I’m never giving up, I’m never going back Pretending everything is fine I’m not the man I was I’m on a different track At last I’ve got some peace of mind Oh I’m never giving up, I’m never gonna stop, I can’t keep holding on to fear And every hill I climb, I’ll make it to the top No matter if the road’s not clear, I’m never giving up. Small light in the distance, home is getting near I’ll just keep on going, overcome the fear No more lonely heartaches, they’ll just weigh me down I don’t need that baggage for where I’m heading now No I’m never giving up, I’m never going back Pretending everything is fine I’m not the man I was I’m on a different track At last I’ve got some peace of mind Oh I’m never giving up, I’m never gonna stop, I can’t keep holding on to fear And every hill I climb, I’ll make it to the top No matter if the road’s not clear, I’m never giving up. Thought I had it all when I recall the things I did Then I heard a voice inside saying ‘ Who you tryin’ to kid?’ No I’m never giving up, I’m never going back Pretending everything is fine I’m not the man I was I’m on a different track At last I’ve got some peace of mind Oh I’m never giving up, I’m never gonna stop, I can’t keep holding on to fear And every hill I climb, I’ll make it to the top No matter if the road’s not clear, I’m never giving up.

Ancient pathways Bob Fraser - October 2021 The streets are dark and silent there’s no one else around If home is where the heart is then I guess I’m homeward bound I can see a signpost up ahead I recall some words that you once said Standing at the crossroads which way is the best Take the ancient pathway let your soul find rest Standing at the crossroads which way is the best Take the ancient pathway let your soul find rest I’m glad I found some wisdom that changed my life that day I needed new direction to find a better way Time had come for letting go the past Now I know I’ve got some peace at last Standing at the crossroads which way is the best Take the ancient pathway let your soul find rest Standing at the crossroads which way is the best Take the ancient pathway let your soul find rest Time had come for letting go the past Now I know I’ve got some peace at last Standing at the crossroads which way is the best Take the ancient pathway let your soul find rest Standing at the crossroads which way is the best Take the ancient pathway let your soul find rest

Going Home 03:48

Going Home (Bob Fraser - August 1995) Empty are the hands that once were filled with gold Weary is the body into slavery sold Weeping is the heart that now lies broken here Hungry is the soul that's lost when no one is near I am going home to all I left behind How I long to be there, it's always on my mind I am going home, that's where I should be Though I broke his heart, my father runs to me See the father rush to meet him face to face Hugs his wayward son a strong yet tender embrace How the years have flown since I saw you last I was looking for you every day that passed I am going home to all I left behind How I long to be there, it's always on my mind I am going home, that's where I should be Though I broke his heart, my father runs to me I am going home to all I left behind How I long to be there, it's always on my mind I am going home, that's where I should be Though I broke his heart, my father runs to me credits

Lockdown Blues (Bob Fraser 2021) I remember the times when we’d play in the park We’d be out all day and get home after dark Now I’m staring at four walls longing to be free With just my radio sitting next to me. I’ve got the lockdown lockdown lockdown lockdown blues I’m going stir crazy trying to find things to do I’ve got the lockdown lockdown lockdown lockdown blues But when I listen to your music It always seems to be good news I remember the times when we’d take a walk We’d go down to the beach and just sit and talk We could buy a nice Big Mac or we’d get an ice cream We never got lonely we were living the dream I’ve got the lockdown lockdown lockdown lockdown blues I’m going stir crazy trying to find things to do I’ve got the lockdown lockdown lockdown lockdown blues But when I listen to your music It always seems to be good news I’ve got the lockdown lockdown lockdown lockdown blues I’m going stir crazy trying to find things to do I’ve got the lockdown lockdown lockdown lockdown blues But when I listen to your music It always seems to be good news But when I listen to your music It always seems to be good news

There is a Bridge (Bob Fraser - August 2021) Who can know where life will take us Who knows where the cards will land Twists and turns and all that happens It’s not always in our hands Yet there is hope to give us strength to carry on There is a bridge that lies ahead Above the swirling water And I will cross to where there’s Safety on the other side Though the path is steep and winding Heading somewhere yet unseen I will follow other’s footprints Treading where their feet have been I won’t give up I won’t turn back keep moving on There is a bridge that lies ahead Above the swirling water And I will cross to where there’s Safety on the other side Though I may walk through the valley Where shadows may fall Yet there is nothing to fear There is a bridge that lies ahead Above the swirling water And I will cross to where there’s Safety on the other side There is a bridge that lies ahead Above the swirling water And I will cross to where there’s Safety on the other side

Get a Life (Bob Fraser - 1996) I was lost and running scared I knew that I’d gone wrong I was heading miles away From where I should belong All the doubts and fears that I know were there before Have disappeared and now I know Yes now I know for sure Get a life worth living and make a start today Get a life worth living and throw those blues away Get a life worth living get off that sinking sand Get a life worth living, get on the rock and stand We don’t have the answer To every human need Every cry for hunger And every heart that bleeds Trust him with the future He holds it in his hand One day soon we’ll see it all yeah We will understand Get a life worth living and make a start today Get a life worth living and throw those blues away Get a life worth living get off that sinking sand Get a life worth living, get on the rock and stand Get a life worth living, get a life worth living Get a life worth living, get a life worth living Get a life worth living, get a life worth living Get a life worth living Get a life worth living and make a start today Get a life worth living and throw those blues away Get a life worth living get off that sinking sand Get a life worth living, get on the rock and stand Get a life worth living and make a start today Get a life worth living and throw those blues away Get a life worth living get off that sinking sand Get a life worth living, get on the rock and stand

The Anchor 05:06

The Anchor (Bob Fraser - April 2020) What do I cling to when storms take their toll When I’m in a freefall and losing control The tides running deeper, I fear I might drown With God as the anchor, he won’t let me down I’m learning to trust you when nothing is clear The ship may be sinking, and danger is near There’s always a season when night closes in With God as the anchor, the darkness won’t win You are the anchor you hold me secure I trust you to get me back to the shore It’s easy to turn back, when things fall apart But you are the anchor to steady my heart When life overwhelms me and shatters my dreams Security’s not as secure as it seems When darkness surrounds me, with no hope in sight With you as the anchor I’ll walk in his light You are the anchor you hold me secure I trust you to get me back to the shore It’s easy to turn back, when things fall apart But you are the anchor to steady my heart You are the anchor you hold me secure I trust you to get me back to the shore It’s easy to turn back, when things fall apart But you are the anchor to steady my heart You are the anchor to steady my heart

Holding on to Love (Bob Fraser - August 2020) A cold wind blows, What lies ahead who knows And every day’s a struggle to get through Be strong my heart don’t let me fall apart When everything is said and done There’s nowhere else that I can run I’m holding on I’m holding on No matter if the sun won’t shine I’m taking one day at a time I’m holding on I’m holding on to love Do all I can but losing who I am, Missing all those things that we once knew Be strong today don’t let it slip away When everything is said and done There’s nowhere else that I can run I’m holding on I’m holding on No matter if the sun won’t shine I’m taking one day at a time I’m holding on I’m holding on to love Sometimes I feel lost When all my hopes get swept away Love will pull us through And lead us to a better day When everything is said and done There’s nowhere else that I can run I’m holding on I’m holding on No matter if the sun won’t shine I’m taking one day at a time I’m holding on I’m holding on to love When everything is said and done There’s nowhere else that I can run I’m holding on I’m holding on No matter if the sun won’t shine I’m taking one day at a time I’m holding on I’m holding on to love

No More Pretending (Bob Fraser – August 2020) I’d never face the music, When the truth was loud and clear I’d always run for cover, Pretend I didn’t hear All around me life was crumbling And deep inside was fear Now there’s no more, no more no more pretending There’s no more, no more, no more pretending My life was heading nowhere I couldn’t sleep at night I chose to live in darkness Not bring things to the light I’d tell you things were alright But I was hurt inside Now there’s no more, no more, no more pretending There’s no more, no more, no more pretending There’s no more, no more, no more pretending There’s no more, no more, no more pretending I’m older now and wiser And I’ve lived to tell the tale I’ve got a code to follow And the promises won’t fail Now there’s no more, no more, no more pretending There’s no more, no more, no more pretending No more, no more pretending No more, no more pretending

Love’s Breaking Through (Bob Fraser - October 2021) There are times I’ve regretted, Some things that I’ve said and I’ve done The plans and the schemes That were just empty dreams And all that I never begun When I tried to life in the fast lane, And buried the hurts deep inside I never could find A real peace of mind No matter how hard that I tried But now I can see things more clearly I’m thirsty for something and need a new start Love’s breaking through Love’s breaking through to my heart This life isn’t easy, The sorrows we carry are real So we keep moving on Though the good times are gone But sometimes the wounds just won’t heal. But now I can see things more clearly I’m thirsty for something and need a new start Love’s breaking through Love’s breaking through to my heart Love’s breaking through Love’s breaking through to my heart Love, love’s breaking through Love, love’s breaking through

Finding (Bob Fraser - 1972) Seasons come and quickly fly They try so hard to see Autumn leaves in brown and gold Gently fall on me Summer suns shine on a land That’s baked as hard as clay But where’s the sweet refreshing rain To wash my tears away So I exist yet cannot find A purpose to my living In all I do I feel a fake A fraud in all my giving Where lies the answer to my need Where lies understanding? Some say seek and you will find But I’m having trouble finding Some say seek and you will find But I’m having trouble finding
