Waking Up American A song for my birthparents in Vietnam
By Jared Rehberg
I see you on my TV,
Rushing home from work on crowded streets
You’ve got bills to pay and mouths to feed
I’m send you my prayer for another day
Without me, without you
I’m living in America with a brand new name
Without you, without me
I’m waking up American on a brand new day
And I’m still the same, I’m always the same
I think of you as I share goodnight
The answers to my questions wait by the light
So, what’s my name? I think heaven sent
A moment of peace for God’s creations
My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty
For thee I sing, for thee I sing
I want to run with ghosts, across empty fields
I’ll fish on the delta with the past by my side
Sometimes I wonder, what might have been
Choking on my destiny I found tears
Without me, without you
I’m living in America with a brand new name
Without you, without me
I’m waking up American on a brand new day
And I’m still the same, I’m always the same
I see you on my TV,
Rushing home from work on crowded streets

Wash Over Me My return to Vietnam
By Jared Rehberg
You can always find me running down empty streets
Watching the world go by, from a thousand miles away
Beautiful children sell postcards and gum
I try to escape but it’s too hot to run
It was too hot to run
A lifetime of hope, outside my window
A chance to say goodbye, a chance to say hello
Lost in a crowd, of familiar faces, those beautiful faces
They all look like me
What if I was right and I could be next,
I would forgive them my heart needs a rest
Oh waves of emotion crashed on the sand
I’m a lost twenty-something born without a name
And I’ll be waiting this time; I’ve been waiting this time
Come wash over me
Come wash over me
Come wash over me
Fear exists in the eyes of strangers
And there was so much more that I wanted to say
I’ve live a fortunate life
And I’ll never forget those hot summer night when the rain came down
To wash over me, come and wash over me.
Oh waves of emotion crashed on the sand
I’m a lost twenty-something born without a name
And I’ll be waiting this time; I’ve been waiting this time
Come wash over me
Come and wash over me
Just let your love, come wash over me
Come wash over me
Just let your love wash away the tears
After all of these years

Each Day For my Grandma Gertrude Haymes
By Jared Rehberg
There’s only one sure thing in life, the guarantee for change
I know you’ve gone to a better place and my world won’t be the same
Tried my best to make you proud and I remember what you said
“Work hard for the goodies in life, never dwell on the past”
So I will cry just a little each day
I will sing about the love that you gave
And how you tried to say goodbye on the telephone that day
And it won’t be long until I see you again.
We used to ride the sunrise to your home in the sky
Fresh fruit and bagels, smoked salmon on the side
I know you used to worry about decisions in my life
Now I miss the sound of your voice say “everything’s alright”
Mama don’t you cry I can’t take away your pain
I remember when grandpa died and the words that he said.
So I will cry just a little each day
I will sing about the love that you gave
I can still see your smile on the children that you raised
I’m moving on but I miss you each day.
The last time I saw you, you danced the night away
A body full of life and a smile I can’t erase.
Reach down from heaven I thik I might need a hand
I don’t have all the answer, so until then
So I will cry just a little each day
I will sing about the love that you gave
I can still see your smile on the children that you raised
I’m moving on but I miss you each day.

Mongo’s Dream A song for Rick and Jessie Kaven
by Jared Rehberg
I can feel your arms around me, a soft whisper in my ear
A thousand miles to Austin, haven’t felt like this in years
I was watching from a distance, opportunity came my way
Made my best steak dinner and I asked you for a kiss.
It’s the way that you love me, you show me in so many ways
We can bend the rules together; I’ll be your Peter Pan
I just want to make you happy, promise I’ll do all that I can
Let’s build our home together surrounded by family and friends
Our love will feed the fire. That lights up every kiss
This is the great adventure, a long term journey filled with dreams
So no matter what comes our way, sometimes life won’t go our way
I’ll always have your smile, to brighten up my darkest days
They’ll say out love is a strong as our will
Celebrate our independence in each moment that we share
It’s the way that you love me, you show me in so many ways
We can bend the rules together; I’ll be your Peter Pan
I just want to make you happy, promise I’ll do all that I can
Let’s build our home together surrounded by family and friends

Remember me this way For Maria Van Nguyen
By Jared Rehberg
Tilt your head back and rest here in my arms
Counting all the houses asleep on the farm
The soundtrack of you’re life across a Minnesota sky
I put my heart on the line
Can you hear your song playing to the night?
One of these days we’re gonna figure it all out
Don’t chase the water under the bridge
Look out for reflections of someone like yourself
I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m thinking about you
Catch me I’m falling save a pray for me
I’m standing in the shadow of your fear to fall too deep
Can you see the person that I’m gonna be?
And when the sun gives into the night
Remember me this way, I remember you that way
Can you hear your song playing to the night?
One of these days we’re gonna figure it all out
Don’t chase the water under the bridge
Look out for reflections of someone like yourself
Take a picture should the memories fade away
Never take for granted, all the joys of today
I may not be with you for the rest of my days
Remember me this way, I remember you that way
Can you hear your song playing to the night?
One of these days we’re gonna figure it all out
Don’t chase the water under the bridge
Look out for reflections of someone like yourself
