Songs by Jim Steinman

Vaults of heaven

I never get what I pray for

Snake Preacher

It just doesn't get any better than this

Whistle down the wind

When Children rule the world

No matter what

If your mother was here

Try not to be afraid

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

Wrestle with the devil

For the sake of all the children

Nature of the beast
