The sun is shining away
It blinds me in warm light
Reminds me it’s alright
Been feeling cold and gray
Rising from the flames
Higher and higher
Seeing for the first time
There’s a brighter day
There’s a brighter day
Shine on me
Shine the light on where I’m going
Shine on me
Shine let it shine
Shine on me
Tell me where the wind is blowing
Shine on me
Shine
Let it shine
On me
On me
Riding the waves
I see a butterfly
Through that summer haze
Taking in the rays
Taking in the rays
Shine on me
Shine the light on where I’m going
Shine on me
Shine let it shine
Shine on me
Tell me where the wind is blowing
Shine on me
Shine
Let it shine
On me
On me
Shine on me
Shine the light on where I’m going
Shine on me
Shine let it shine
Shine on me
Tell me where the wind is blowing
Shine on me
Shine let it shine
Shine on me
Shine the light on where I’m going
Shine on me
Shine
Let it shine
On me
On me
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

Wake up
Wake up

The sun is shining away
It blinds me in warm light
Reminds me it’s alright
Been feeling cold and gray
Rising from the flames
Higher and higher
Seeing for the first time
There’s a brighter day
There’s a brighter day
Shine on me
Shine the light on where I’m going
Shine on me
Shine let it shine
Shine on me
Tell me where the wind is blowing

I’ve been searching ‘round
Around the world
And I’ve been holding out
For someone like you
One who can fly with me farther
Won’t you stay, stay?
Stay with me a while
Stay, stay
Stay with me tonight
And I’ve been dreamin’ about you
All my life
But lately I just can’t sleep
While you’re running through my mind
Maybe we could go deeper
Just stay, stay
Stay with me a while
Stay, stay
Stay with me tonight
My body knows, it feels so right
So stay with me till the end of time
You’re beautiful
You’re everything
To me
Stay, stay
Stay with me a while
Won’t you stay, stay?
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
I’ve been searching ‘round
Around the world
And I’ve been holding out
For someone like you
One who can fly with me farther
Won’t you stay, stay?
Stay with me a while
Stay, stay
Stay with me tonight
And I’ve been dreamin’ about you
All my life
But lately I just can’t sleep
While you’re running through my mind
Maybe we could go deeper
Just stay, stay

Won’t you stay, stay?

Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Reinvent Yourself
LYRICS

When you’re all alone and cryin’ in a doorway
And you haven’t got a second chance to lose
When you’ve tried it all, and hit the wall and dyin’
And you’re on your own, with nothing left to choose
Reinvent yourself, it’s time
Reinvent yourself, and fly
With your head up high
And the answers to guide you
Reinvent yourself
You’ll be turnin’ it all around
When you’re underground, beaten down and bleeding
And the claws of cold have cast your dreams aside
You can break the chains that cut your veins, it’s easy
Just free yourself with a whole new state of mind
Reinvent Yourself, it’s time
Reinvent yourself, and fly
With your head up high
And the answers to guide you
Reinvent yourself
You’ll be turnin’ it all around
When it’s inside-outside-inside, consultation
Your dream-master will show you what to do
He’s you’re mirror, and truth-teller. He’s gonna tell you
“Phoenix fly with a whole new point of view”
And Reinvent Yourself, it’s time
Reinvent yourself, and fly
With your head up high
And the past behind you
Reinvent yourself
And you’ll be turnin’ it all around
Around
When you’re all alone and cryin’ in a doorway
And you haven’t got a second chance to lose
When you’ve tried it all, and hit the wall and dyin’
And you’re on your own, with nothing left to choose
Reinvent yourself, it’s time
Reinvent yourself, and fly
With your head up high
And the answers to guide you
Reinvent yourself
You’ll be turnin’ it all around
When you’re underground, beaten down and bleeding
And the claws of cold have cast your dreams aside
You can break the chains that cut your veins, it’s easy
Just free yourself with a whole new state of mind
Reinvent Yourself, it’s time
Reinvent yourself, and fly
With your head up high
And the answers to guide you
Reinvent yourself
You’ll be turnin’ it all around
When it’s inside-outside-inside, consultation
Your dream-master will show you what to do
He’s you’re mirror, and truth-teller. He’s gonna tell you
“Phoenix fly with a whole new point of view”
And Reinvent Yourself, it’s time
Reinvent yourself, and fly
With your head up high
And the past behind you
Reinvent yourself
And you’ll be turnin’ it all around
Around

Wake up dreaming that you are free
Banging your head so delicately
It’s so clear, you live in fear
Blinded by the need
For security
You’ve been dragging that ball and chain
With your head in the ground
Been slowing you down
You’ve carried the weight for so long
Forgotten your strong
And how bright you can shine like the sun, yea
When I wanna give in
I gotta get out
When I wanna give up
I start singing out loud
Change is coming round
You just can’t live without it
Change is coming round
It’s Imminent
Now your movin’ but ’round and ’round
Like a rat on a wheel in a plastic house
You’ve been stuck in a crazy maze
Running in place
Thinkin’ you’re the only one
Gone insane, yea
When you wanna give in
You gotta get out
When you wanna give up
Start singing out loud
Change is coming round
Ain’t no doubt about it
Change is coming round
It’s imminent
It’s waiting for you
and waiting for me
Change is coming round
You just can’t live without it
Change, hear the sound
Change is coming round
Ain’t no doubt about it
Change is coming round
It’s imminent

Banging your head so delicately

Blinded by the need
For security

You’ve carried the weight for so long
Forgotten your strong
And how bright you can shine like the sun, yea

Let’s sail away
Just you and me
Across the ocean
There’s no time
Like today
Don’t think twice
Let’s leave this shore
Open your heart
Start living more
Won’t you be my castaway?
Let your fears disappear
don’t fade away
You’re all I need
The only one
Follow me
Into the sun
On a red-eye plane
Feeling free
Now we’re flying
To that place
We always dreamed
It’s alright
To step on board
With faith in our hearts
And fate at our door
Won’t you be my castaway?
Let your fears disappear
don’t fade away
I’m on my knees
The time has come
Follow me
Into the sun
Breath in
Let it out
Release
All doubt
Breath In
Let it out
Believe
All-out
Won’t you be my castaway?
Let your fears, disappear
don’t fade away
You’re all I need
The only one
Follow me
Into the sun
Breath In
Let it Out
Breath In
Just let it out
Let’s sail away
Just you and me
Across the ocean
There’s no time
Like today
Don’t think twice
Let’s leave this shore
Open your heart
Start living more
Won’t you be my castaway?
Let your fears disappear
don’t fade away
You’re all I need
The only one
Follow me

And fate at our door

Just let it out

We all slip
We all stumble
And sometimes we fall
Lose direction
This intersection’s
Got no lights at all
So we skip like a stone
Down the road, all alone
Have a little faith
Have a little faith today
Have a little faith today
Come on now
Have a little faith
It’s gonna be ok
Have a little faith today
You’re on your way
You’re on your way
We all crash
We all crumble
Sometimes we stall
Let’s change direction
Celebrate your imperfection
And turn up the sound in your soul
Like the wind let it flow
Through your eyes, let it go
Have a little faith
Have a little faith today
Have a little faith today
Come on now
Have a little faith
You’re gonna be ok
Have a little faith today
You’re on your way
You’re on your way
It’s a long, long road to the top of the stairs
With a little faith, you’re already there
Yea
So, have a little faith
It’s gonna be ok
Have a little faith today
Have a little faith
Have a little faith today
Have a little faith today
Everybody
Have a little faith
We’re gonna be ok
Have a little faith today
You’re on your way
You’re on your way

Sometimes it’s so hard
To keep it together
One day you’re flying high
Then you’re cryin’ in the desert
I was staring at the end of the line
Was sure I’d fall
And lose my mind
Now I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
Sometimes, it feels like
The highway’s forever
And the sun never let’s up
And you’re lifeless as leather
Just when I felt my spirit had died
I looked down on a painted sky
Now I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
Sometimes it’s so hard
To keep it together
One day you’re flying high
Then you’re cryin’ in the desert
I was staring at the end of the line
Was sure I’d fall
And lose my mind
Now I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
Sometimes, it feels like
The highway’s forever
And the sun never let’s up
And you’re lifeless as leather
Just when I felt my spirit had died
I looked down on a painted sky
Now I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
I’m spreading my wings and flying over rainbows
My Heart's Back In Georgia
LYRICS

Drivin’ north on the 1 state line
Wind in my hair
The moon’s shinin’ bright
It’s a foggy ocean evening
Got mist in my eyes
My heart’s back in Georgia
With you on my mind
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
And will always be true
I parked on the shoulder to settle for the night
When I heard the music playing
Saw fire burning bright
A man said: “Come on over
No need to be alone”
So I grabbed my guitar
Started singing this old song
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
And will always be true
I love you
Yes, only you
I love you
I love you
And will always be true
And as the flames keep rising
From this fire on the coast
Stars in the sky
Missin’ you the most
People talking around me
About what I can’t recall
Cause my heart’s back in Georgia
With you that’s all
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
And will always be true
I love you
Yes, only you
I love you
I love you
And will always be true
And every night I’m drivin’
I’m cryin’ out inside
Cause my heart’s back in Georgia
With you all the time
Yes my heart’s back in Georgia
With you
All the time
Drivin’ north on the 1 state line
Wind in my hair
The moon’s shinin’ bright
It’s a foggy ocean evening
Got mist in my eyes
My heart’s back in Georgia
With you on my mind
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
And will always be true
I parked on the shoulder to settle for the night
When I heard the music playing
Saw fire burning bright
A man said: “Come on over
No need to be alone”
So I grabbed my guitar
Started singing this old song
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
And will always be true
I love you
Yes, only you
I love you
I love you
And will always be true
And as the flames keep rising
From this fire on the coast
Stars in the sky
Missin’ you the most
People talking around me
About what I can’t recall
Cause my heart’s back in Georgia
With you that’s all
I love you
Yes I do
I love you
And will always be true
I love you
Yes, only you
I love you
I love you
And will always be true
And every night I’m drivin’
I’m cryin’ out inside
Cause my heart’s back in Georgia
With you all the time
Yes my heart’s back in Georgia
With you
All the time

Free your mind
Let it go and
Let it cruise
To the other side
Where the dawn of another day is new
Bring your crazy
Because you and I are headed to
Where the angels fly
And trouble won’t find me and you
Sometimes it takes a while
to get it right
Sometimes that golden road
shines too bright
So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what’s holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what’s holding you
Can we look outside
of our paper rules?
And question why
Because there’s more than one way and one truth
It’ll be alright
Any way you wanna move
And the sun will rise
On any given path you choose
Sometimes our deepest fears
Are the hardest ones to fight
Breakin’ down and lookin’ in
Might save your life
So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what’s holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what’s holding you
So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what’s holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what’s holding you
Gotta take that chance
And break on through
Take that chance
Nothing and no one’s holding you
Free your mind
Let it go and
Let it cruise
To the other side
Where the dawn of another day is new
Bring your crazy
Because you and I are headed to
Where the angels fly
And trouble won’t find me and you
Sometimes it takes a while
to get it right
Sometimes that golden road
shines too bright
So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what’s holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what’s holding you
Can we look outside
of our paper rules?
And question why
Because there’s more than one way and one truth
It’ll be alright
Any way you wanna move
And the sun will rise
On any given path you choose
Sometimes our deepest fears
Are the hardest ones to fight
Breakin’ down and lookin’ in
Might save your life
So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what’s holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what’s holding you
So take a chance, break on through
Live beyond what’s holding you
The past is all we have to lose
Break on through what’s holding you
Gotta take that chance
And break on through
Take that chance
Nothing and no one’s holding you

It’s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy
I was once like you are now
and I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found something going on
So take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you’ve got
For you will still be here tomorrow
but your dreams may not
How can I try to explain?
When I do he turns away again
It’s always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
It’s not time to make a change
Just sit down, take it slowly
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy
All the times that I cried
keepin’ all the things I knew inside
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it
If they were right, I’d agree, but it’s them they know not me
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go
It’s not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You’re still young, that’s your fault
There’s so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy
I was once like you are now
and I know that it’s not easy
To be calm when you’ve found something going on
So take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you’ve got

The other day I was talkin’ with a good friend of mine
Oh, and things weren’t going so well in my life at the time
He said let me tell you a little something
that might help you along your way, yea…
He said take a pencil and paper and write down exactly what you want
And put it on your refrigerator when you get home
Well I thought it sounded foolish
But I did it anyway
And then thirty days later when the bills came due
I said hey man you know there ain’t nothin’ comin’ through
And when I told him what I wrote
He just smiled and shook his head
And then he laughed out loud at the words that I read
I said
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
He said you forgot to add one thing
Write this down in big red letters:
“Give me this or something better”
I was working in Minneapolis sellin’ someone else’s dreams
But I always knew there was somethin’ so much bigger meant for me
Had a house in Santa Fe and I was fine
Till the renters all moved out
And it started goin’ south
So I left Minnesota on a cold January night
Bettin’ on myself that I was doing somethin’ right
And when I got back to New Mexico
I must admit I had my doubts, Mmmm
But I’ll be damned if everything he told me wasn’t comin’ true
That if you write it down, your dreams will find a way to get to you
And now here I am, I’m makin’ it and things are going right
I guess it goes to show you all you gotta do is write
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
Cause it’ll all come true
If you write down in big red letters:
“Give me this or something better”
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
Cause it’ll all come true
If you write it down in big red letters
“Give me this or something better”
Oh, give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
Cause it’ll all come true
If you write it down in big red letters:
“Give me this or something better”
“Give me this or something better”
Yea
The other day I was talkin’ with a good friend of mine
Oh, and things weren’t going so well in my life at the time
He said let me tell you a little something
that might help you along your way, yea…
He said take a pencil and paper and write down exactly what you want
And put it on your refrigerator when you get home
Well I thought it sounded foolish
But I did it anyway
And then thirty days later when the bills came due
I said hey man you know there ain’t nothin’ comin’ through
And when I told him what I wrote
He just smiled and shook his head
And then he laughed out loud at the words that I read
I said
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
He said you forgot to add one thing
Write this down in big red letters:
“Give me this or something better”
I was working in Minneapolis sellin’ someone else’s dreams
But I always knew there was somethin’ so much bigger meant for me
Had a house in Santa Fe and I was fine
Till the renters all moved out
And it started goin’ south
So I left Minnesota on a cold January night
Bettin’ on myself that I was doing somethin’ right
And when I got back to New Mexico
I must admit I had my doubts, Mmmm
But I’ll be damned if everything he told me wasn’t comin’ true
That if you write it down, your dreams will find a way to get to you
And now here I am, I’m makin’ it and things are going right
I guess it goes to show you all you gotta do is write
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
Cause it’ll all come true
If you write down in big red letters:
“Give me this or something better”
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
Cause it’ll all come true
If you write it down in big red letters
“Give me this or something better”
Oh, give me everything I want
Give me everything I need
Give me everything in this life
That’s comin’ to me
Cause it’ll all come true
If you write it down in big red letters:
“Give me this or something better”
“Give me this or something better”
Yea

I know you feel it
I feel it too, ooh…
Time is revealing
The dawn of somethin’ new
Something new
We’re all in motion
No turning back, ack…
We’re on our way now
To a better place in time
A universal mind
We’re opening the truth
And all we gotta do…
We gotta raise our vibration
To a higher frequency
So that we can be in harmony with all
We gotta rise up, gotta wake up
The consciousness within
Cause it’s time for the revolution to begin
The revolution
Look all around you
Hope everywhere, ere…
People are changin’
From what they used to be
To a new reality
That’s coming into light
Everybody don’t you realize?
We gotta raise our vibration

So that we can be in harmony with all
We gotta rise up, gotta wake up
The consciousness within
Cause it’s time for the revolution, once again
Yea…the revolution
All of the wars and the battles will end
We will be free as the children again
All it would take is to reach down and
Find all the love that’s within
We gotta raise our vibration

Getting Past The Past
LYRICS

I was at my own prosecution
Ready to pay for
The fact I wasn’t more
Than what I’d been
For non-existent sins
I locked myself in
For never giving myself the permission
To be more than I could
It was simply understood
That I was less
Than all the rest
Oh, but I was wrong
Cause when you see the truth
That’s when you find your place
You see we’re all the same
In different ways…
It took a long time to
Get to where I am today
I guess the hardest job, anyone could ever have
Is gettin’ past the past
The voices in my head
Were overwhelming
Sayin’ what a fool
To think your dreams belong to you
The jury said
From in my head
And so off I was led
But in my cell
There came a revelation
We’re much too big for small
And to think that way at all
Is simply wrong
And you’re the only one
Who can take yourself back home
Cause when you see the truth
That’s when you find your place
You see we’re all the same
In different ways
It took a long time to
Get to where I am today
I guess the hardest job, anyone could ever have
Is gettin’ past the past
Well I have done my time now
And it’s over
These iron bars of shame
Could not reduce or take away
Who I am now
And the power that I hold
And the strength enough to let it show
Cause when you see the truth
That’s when you find your place
You see, we’re all the same
In so many ways…
It took a long time to
Get to where I am today
I guess the hardest job, anyone could ever have
Is gettin’ past the past
Woah…
Woah…
I was at my own prosecution
Ready to pay for
The fact I wasn’t more
Than what I’d been
For non-existent sins
I locked myself in
For never giving myself the permission
To be more than I could

That I was less

Oh, but I was wrong
Cause when you see the truth

So you gave it up on it
Said it wasn’t worth it anymore
Said you got tired of banging on the door
The world’s just a joke outside
You said as you watched it pass you by
And so you let it make you cold inside
But don’t go believin’
All of the voices
Livin’ in your head
Sayin’ hope is dead
When there’s nobody there
When you’re all alone
And it’s just you and you
Tryin’ to make it through
When there’s nobody left
Except the TV set
Open up the shades
And gaze into the light of day
Gaze into the light of day
Tired of the promising
Tired of still waiting in the wings
Tired of the nothin’
Being everything
You say to hell with it
I don’t really need this anymore
But that’s just the crazy in you ramblin’
It feels like forever
But it’s only a moment
That’s gonna pass you by
Don’t go sleepin’ with a lie
When there’s nobody there
When you’re all alone
And it’s just you and you
Tryin’ to make it through
When there’s nobody left
Except the TV set
Open up the shades
And gaze into the light of day
Gaze into the light of day
When there’s nobody there
When you’re all alone
And it’s just you and you
Tryin’ to make it through
When there’s nobody left
Except the TV set
Open up the shades
Open up the shades
When there’s nobody there
When you’re all alone
And it’s just you and you
Trying to make it through
When there’s nobody left
Except the TV set
Open up the shades
And gaze into the light of day
So you gave it up on it

Living In The Now

Sometimes the self can leave you inwardly blind
We’ve all been victims, time to time
Don’t let your fear delay you
Don’t let your ego play you by
Living the future in your mind
Sometimes the guilt can grab you
From out of the night
Creep in and keep you paralyzed
But if you can take control of
All that you know you’re made of well
Everything’s gonna be alright
Let’s make no illusion
There can be no substitution
For being in the moment that you’re in
And when you finally wake up
And you wash away the make up
This is where your true life will begin
I found out
Nothin’ feels like
Living in the now
This is the universal
Truth that we hold
And it goes unused
Until we know
But when we find the power
This is our finest hour and
That’s when our future will unfold
So, let’s make no illusion
There can be no substitution
For being in the moment that you’re in
And when you finally wake up
And you wash away the make up
This is when your destiny begins
And you find out
Nothin’ feels like
Living in the now
It’s not too late to turn it all around
Whatever’s lost can always still be found
Let’s make no illusion
There can be no substitution
For being in the moment that you’re in
And when we finally wake up
And we wash away the make up
This is when our destiny begins
And we find out
Nothin’ feels like
Living in the now
Living in the now
Oh, you got the present
You got the present now
You got the present now
Sometimes the self can leave you inwardly blind
We’ve all been victims, time to time
Don’t let your fear delay you
Don’t let your ego play you by
Living the future in your mind
Sometimes the guilt can grab you
From out of the night
Creep in and keep you paralyzed
But if you can take control of
All that you know you’re made of well
Everything’s gonna be alright
Let’s make no illusion
There can be no substitution
For being in the moment that you’re in
And when you finally wake up
And you wash away the make up
This is where your true life will begin
I found out
Nothin’ feels like

And it goes unused

Our Story
LYRICS

There are stories
We hope will never end
That draw us back again, and again
Like our story
Started out to be
A perfect tragedy
The girl who needed nothing
And the man upon his steed
She was so beautiful
The night her eyes met mine
I must admit that I was blind to reason
What is this pedestal
We put love upon?
That sings us like a song
We think it takes us somewhere
Few have ever gone
And hope keeps holdin’ on
Hope never will give in
And just about the time you think you’re over it
It has a way of reelin’ you back in
There are stories
Crazy shiny things
Sometimes they are better left for dreams
And in our glory
We lived a thousand lives
And love was free of all condition
But in the morning
Always comes the light of day
Exposes the charade
No matter how we fight it
The truth won’t go away
And hope keeps holdin’ on
And hope never will give in
And just about the time you think you’ve had enough
It doubles back reels you right back in
There are stories
Way beyond our means
Stories that are better left for dreams
Hope keeps holdin’ on
And hope never will give in
Oh and just about the time you think you’re over it
It has a way of reelin’ you back in
There are stories
Crazy shiny things
Stories that are better left for dreams
Stories that are better left for dreams
Maybe we were better left for dreams
There are stories
We hope will never end
That draw us back again, and again
Like our story
Started out to be
A perfect tragedy
The girl who needed nothing
And the man upon his steed
She was so beautiful
The night her eyes met mine
I must admit that I was blind to reason
What is this pedestal
We put love upon?
That sings us like a song
We think it takes us somewhere
Few have ever gone
And hope keeps holdin’ on
Hope never will give in
And just about the time you think you’re over it
It has a way of reelin’ you back in
There are stories
Crazy shiny things
Sometimes they are better left for dreams
And in our glory
We lived a thousand lives
And love was free of all condition
But in the morning
Always comes the light of day
Exposes the charade
No matter how we fight it
The truth won’t go away
And hope keeps holdin’ on
And hope never will give in
And just about the time you think you’ve had enough
It doubles back reels you right back in
There are stories
Way beyond our means
Stories that are better left for dreams
Hope keeps holdin’ on
And hope never will give in
Oh and just about the time you think you’re over it

Stories that are better left for dreams
Stories that are better left for dreams
Maybe we were better left for dreams

Never felt the warm sunshine

I believe in you
And all the things you do
And even if you fall sometimes
It won’t change my mind
I believe again
Comes around again
And I know we just can’t lose
If I believe in you, oooh…
We tear ourselves down
And twist it around
Leavin’ ourselves to fit the blame
We damage our pride
And the soul down inside
Lives in a lonely place
But I’m findin’ out these days
It’s me that’s gotta change
And so I’m gonna change right now
I’m gonna say it out loud
I believe in you
And all the things you do
And even if you fall sometimes
It won’t change my mind
I believe again
Comes around again
And I know, we just can’t lose
If I believe in you, oooh…
The ego will say
Hey, push it all away
Failure is all you’re gonna find
But the ones who can change
Rise from the shame
They are the ones who cross the line
So goodbye to then
I’m gonna be my own best friend
Don’t you think it’s time?
Oh, don’t you think it’s time?
I believe in you
And all the things you do
And even if you fall sometimes

Pain-Body
LYRICS

It’s just the poison coming out
Everybody’s got it
And there ain’t no doubt
It’s gonna bear it’s teeth every once in a while
And when it does you just breathe deep and smile
Just like a child that needs to be fed
It’s the same demon that fills our heads
So when it comes around, don’t feel so bad
It’s just the wounds that we all have
It’s your pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Ah, don’t let ’em go and get to you
It only sees things in black and white
The good and the bad, the wrong or right
And it always seems to find someone else to blame
Got a finger to point, just itchin’ for the pain
With no self-responsibility
It’s a silent partner that we can’t see
Lies in wait to commit it’s crime
It’s not you that’s crossing that line
It’s your pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Don’t let ’em go and get to you
Don’t let ’em go and get to you
As much as they might want you to
Don’t let ’em go and get to you
Cause everybody’s packing a
Pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Ahh, but don’t you go and give into your
Pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Ahh, don’t let ’em go and get to you
You’re just talkin’ with your pain body
It’s just the poison coming out
Everybody’s got it
And there ain’t no doubt
It’s gonna bear it’s teeth every once in a while
And when it does you just breathe deep and smile
Just like a child that needs to be fed
It’s the same demon that fills our heads
So when it comes around, don’t feel so bad
It’s just the wounds that we all have
It’s your pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Ah, don’t let ’em go and get to you

Don’t let ’em go and get to you
As much as they might want you to
Don’t let ’em go and get to you
Cause everybody’s packing a
Pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Ahh, but don’t you go and give into your
Pain body
I know you’re talking with your pain body
And every now and then it’s somebody else that slips into our shoes
Ahh, don’t let ’em go and get to you
You’re just talkin’ with your pain body
Gratitude

You slam your finger in the door
But does it hurt now anymore
Than your broken heart
When she said she didn’t love you anymore
I bet a bee sting probably hurts
But I know a snake bite’s ten times worse
And if one bit you, hey
I bet you’d know the difference right away
So be thankful for
It’s just a nick
and not much more
Cause nothin’ is anything until
You hold it up to something else
I know the traffic’s just a bore
But it beats walkin’ that’s for sure
When it’s ten below and you’re wavin’ down
Some stranger you don’t know
So get some perspective here
What seems so severe
Depends on what you compare it to
Let’s have a little gratitude
Chorus:
And just be thankful for
You got a motor
And four doors
Cause nothin’ is anything until
You hold it up to something else
Don’t sweat a bad hair day
Cause after all, you could be bald
A paper cut on your tongue’s
No reason to call 911
So just be thankful for
You got a shot
At one day more
Cause nothin’ is anything until
You hold it up to something else
Woah…oh…
You hold it up to something else
Woah…oh…
Be glad that it isn’t something else
You slam your finger in the door
But does it hurt now anymore
Than your broken heart
When she said she didn’t love you anymore
I bet a bee sting probably hurts
But I know a snake bite’s ten times worse
And if one bit you, hey
I bet you’d know the difference right away
So be thankful for
It’s just a nick
and not much more
Cause nothin’ is anything until
You hold it up to something else
I know the traffic’s just a bore
But it beats walkin’ that’s for sure
When it’s ten below and you’re wavin’ down

Run blindly and stupidly to love
Don’t think you can ever have enough
Cause short are the days
Don’t block it out. Don’t hesitate
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Go wildly and free into the night
Don’t worry cause it’ll be alright
There’s nothing to fear
It’s the reason we are here
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Just give in and move towards the light
And let it heal the dark inside
It’s warm and it’s kind
There’s nothing like it you will find
So run blindly and stupidly to love
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Don’t wait now
For the moment
Or a reason
To show it
Don’t you know you that
The time is now
And it’s never
Ever too late
To move past
The barricades
It’s up to us to tear ’em down
Tear ’em down
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Don’t think you can ever give enough
Cause short are the days
Don’t hold it in. No don’t you wait
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Yea
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Don’t foolishly give your chances up
If you find it somewhere
Be sure to show how much you care
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Don’t think you can ever have enough
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Don’t think you can ever have enough
Cause short are the days
Don’t block it out. Don’t hesitate
Run blindly and stupidly to love
Go wildly and free into the night
Don’t worry cause it’ll be alright
There’s nothing to fear
It’s the reason we are here
Run blindly and stupidly to love

There’s somethin’ inside of me
That can’t leave well enough alone
There’s always another mountain to climb
To climb, to climb, to climb
It follows me in my sleep
This hunger to stay in motion
And get to the place I need
To find, to find, to find, to find
In time, in time, in time
I won’t stop trying
No matter what’s in my way
I won’t stop tryin’
Each and every day
I won’t stop tryin’
Even if it means
Livin’ or dyin’
The fires of hell
I won’t stop tryin’
It’s more than just wanderlust
It’s more like some validation
Something that that says I lived
Alive, alive, alive, alive
And after my dust is gone
And all of my ashes find the wind
They’re still be my spirit in
The night, the night, the night, the night
Still tryin’, and tryin’ and tryin’
Cause, I won’t stop trying
No matter what’s in my way
I won’t stop tryin’
Each and every day
I won’t stop tryin’
Even if it means
Livin’ or dyin’
The fires of hell
I won’t stop tryin’
I guess it’s how we were made
I can’t excuse it away
We try our best to be satisfied
We just can’t settle for less
Than being our very best
Anything else would be a lie
I won’t stop tryin’
No matter what’s in my way
I won’t stop tryin’
Each and every day
I won’t stop tryin’
No matter what’s in my way
I won’t stop tryin’
Tryin’ every day
Oh even if it means
Livin’ or dyin’
The fires of hell
I won’t stop tryin’
I won’t stop tryin’
I won’t stop tryin’
Never, never, never
Never, never , never, no
There’s somethin’ inside of me
That can’t leave well enough alone
There’s always another mountain to climb
To climb, to climb, to climb
It follows me in my sleep
This hunger to stay in motion
And get to the place I need
To find, to find, to find, to find
In time, in time, in time
I won’t stop trying
No matter what’s in my way
I won’t stop tryin’
Each and every day
I won’t stop tryin’
Even if it means

The fires of hell
I won’t stop tryin’
It’s more than just wanderlust
It’s more like some validation
Something that that says I lived
Alive, alive, alive, alive
And after my dust is gone
And all of my ashes find the wind
They’re still be my spirit in
The night, the night, the night, the night
Still tryin’, and tryin’ and tryin’
Cause, I won’t stop trying
No matter what’s in my way
I won’t stop tryin’

I won’t stop tryin’
Even if it means

I won’t stop tryin’
I won’t stop tryin’
Never, never, never
Never, never , never, no

Here’s to the crazy ones
Who made their own design
The ones that even when you told them
They’d still draw outside the lines
They are the trouble makers
The round pegs in square holes
And they’re not too keen on doing what they’re told
But they’ve changed us for the better, don’t you know
Here’s to the fighters
The ones who thought too much
The ones that dared to turn their dreams
Into something we could touch
The backroom innovators
Who just wouldn’t it give up
The ones who ventured out into the cosmic swirl
Here’s to the ones that change the world
Here’s to the speakers
Who moved our hearts and minds
The ones that went against the grain
Even if it meant their lives
The rebels and the misfits
Who saw the things to come
And made it better living on this earth
Here’s to the ones that change the world
Here’s to the ones that change the world
Here’s to the crazy ones
Who made their own design
The ones that even when you told them
They’d still draw outside the lines
They are the trouble makers
The round pegs in square holes
And they’re not too keen on doing what they’re told
But they’ve changed us for the better, don’t you know
Here’s to the fighters
The ones who thought too much

And made it better living on this earth
Here’s to the ones that change the world
Here’s to the ones that change the world

When You're Gone
LYRICS

Sometimes it’s hard to see
When you’re caught up in the middle of a never-ending highway stream
And the last thing you’re thinkin’ about
is how you’re remembered or what you’ll leave for a legacy
It’s a sober thought
Someday your gonna have to go
and part with all the stuff you bought
And you’ll be lyin’ in the ground
underneath the blue forget-me-nots
Like some afterthought
So what do you want ’em to say about you when you’re gone?
That you shined a light so bright that it helped everyone along
That you did your best to change this world
and ‘ya rode it like some tilt-a-whirl
When it’s time to put the chisel to the stone
What do you want ’em to say about you when you’re gone?
That you knew how to live
And through the pain and the shame
you somehow learned how to forgive
And that you loved with all your heart
and gave it all you had to give
Yea that’s what you did
That you laughed a lot
And even when you didn’t feel like it
you were someone else’s rock
And that you shared everything you had
even when you had not
Hey no one here forgot
So what do you want ’em to say about you when you’re gone?
That you shined a light so bright that it helped everyone along
That you did best to change this world
and ‘ya rode it like some tilt-a-whirl
When it’s time to put the chisel to the stone
What do you want ’em to say about you when you’re gone?
You still got a whole lotta livin’
The road up ahead winds like a ribbon
So take the best of what you’ve been given and
Spread it around
So what do you want ’em to say about you when you’re gone?
That you shined a light so bright that it helped everyone along
That you did best to change this world
and ya’ rode it like some tilt-a-whirl
When it’s time to put the chisel to the stone
What do you want ’em to say about you when you’re gone?
Yea when you’re gone
When you’re gone

When you’re caught up in the middle of a never-ending highway stream
And the last thing you’re thinkin’ about

Let’s not wait until tomorrow
To manifest our waiting dreams
Cause these are gifts that we’ve been given
That are waiting to take wing
And when the smoke of doubt surrounds you
Know it's not where you belong
Just burn through it like an arrow
Let's not wait until tomorrow
Do it Now
Whoaoh…
Do it Now
Whoaoh…
We all lose sometimes
But there are lessons in the losing
That are ours to find
And the lesser than
It's the fog that creeps in deeming us
the lesser man
But if we look beyond the human ego dance
And the present circumstance
We’ll see the future's in our hands
Let's not wait until tomorrow
To manifest our waiting dreams
‘Cause these are gifts that we’ve been given

Whoaoh…
Do it Now
Whoaoh…
Am I good enough?
What will the others think if I should rise above?
What's been holding me
Back from all I know that I am really meant to be?
The fear of finding I'm not who I am
Falls away when
We step up and take the chance
So, let's not wait until tomorrow
To manifest our waiting dreams
‘Cause these are gifts that we’ve been given
That are waiting to take wing

It's somethin' that you gotta to

Ah here I am obviously
In the place I always was supposed to be
I never thought
I’d ever find
The satised I’m feeling now
I took the long way ‘round
It started out
Looking for
Somethin’ that was always right at my front door
Ain’t it somethin’ how
You never see
What’s right in front of you
But it feels good when you do
Home is where the heart is
Ah hell I shoulda known this
By the way the dreams I held were never mine
After all I see
This is where I’m meant to be
Home is where the heart is so I find
And to think it’s been here waitin’ all this
Time
Time
Sometimes it takes
Goin’ there
To end up in the middle of a blue-nowhere
And when ya do
You just hitch a ride
Back to that place in you
‘Cause ya had it all inside
Home is where the heart is
Ah hell I shoulda known this
By the way the dreams I held were never mine
After all I see
This is where I’m meant to be
Home is where the heart is so I find
And to think it’s been here waitin’ all this
Time
Time
We scan the horizon
Just hopin’ to buy-in
To some kinda destiny or fate
Then all of a sudden
You run out of runnin’
and it’s plain as the smile on your face
Home is where the heart is
Ah hell I shoulda known this
By the way the dreams I held were never mine
After all I see
This is where I’m meant to be
Home is where the heart is so I find
And to think it’s been here waiting’
Ah home is where the heart is
Ah hell I shoulda known this
Shoulda turned around at roadblock 99
After all I see
This is where I’m meant to be
Home is where the heart is so I find
And to think it’s been here waitin’ all this
Time
Time
All this
Time
Time
Ah here I am obviously
In the place I always was supposed to be
I never thought
I’d ever find
The satised I’m feeling now

Hey!
All these faces on the downtown street
There’ll all lookin’ for someplace to be, but I
Tell you what we’re gonna be alright ’cause
We got a place in this worldtonight, yea
Some people try to run their future down
Never livin’ in the here and now, but I
Can’t say the same about you and I, ‘cause

Finding Out

Every time you turn your head
I swear I have to catch my breath
I must confess I’m living for you now
Without you here my life would be
A wasted mediocrity
Ya found me in this broken world somehow
In a sky-high desert town
I’m finding out
There’s more to us than just a fleeting, wild emotion
You’ve taken hold and
I’m finding out
Your waves are crashin’ over me just like an ocean
My soul’s been stolen
I’m finding out
I’m finding out
You are that beautiful
I was fine, doin’ ok
All alone in Santa Fe
I really wasn’t lookin’ for someone
You walked in the room that night
And blinded me with laughter-light
I swear that I’d been staring at the sun
I can’t believe I’ve just begun
I’m finding out
There’s more to us than just a fleeting, wild emotion
You’ve taken hold and
I’m finding out
Your waves are crashin’ over me just like an ocean
My soul’s been stolen
I’m finding out
I’m finding out
You are that beautiful
I’m finding out
There’s more to us than just a eeting, wild emotion
You’ve taken hold and
I’m finding out
Your waves are crashin’ over me just like an ocean
My soul’s been stolen
I’m finding out
There’s more to us than just a fleeting, wild emotion
You’ve taken hold and
I’m finding out
Your waves are crashin’ over me just like an ocean
My soul’s been stolen
Finding out
Yes I’m finding out
You are that beautiful
You really are that beautiful
How could someone be that beautiful to me?
Every time you turn your head
I swear I have to catch my breath
I must confess I’m living for you now
Without you here my life would be
A wasted mediocrity
Ya found me in this broken world somehow
In a sky-high desert town
I’m finding out
There’s more to us than just a fleeting, wild emotion
You’ve taken hold and
I’m finding out
Your waves are crashin’ over me just like an ocean
My soul’s been stolen
I’m finding out

You are that beautiful

Turn off the TV
Open the curtains
Look out the window
Stop all your circlin’ ‘round
What’s bringin’ ya down?
Nobody’s gonna come try to nd you
Kick down your door
Give you a prize
Fix all your troubles
Try to pull you out
‘Cause that ain’t the way this two-ring circus works
You gotta give to get to get what’s waitin’ ‘round the curve
You won’t find it in some lover’s eyes
Some shiny pretty thing you buy
You can run but you won’t nd it nowhere else
See the one thing happy people know
It’s what you earn not what you’re owed
And in-between the heartbreaks and the scars
You gotta make your happiness right where you are
Na na na na…na na na na…na na na
Na…na na na na…na na na
Na…na na na na…na na na na…na na na

Lend it to someone
Don’t matter who
Just be the one who cares
You’ll find a little happy there
Send out a smile it’s ok
‘Cause it transcends all the fear and hate
And you’ll see
You’re a little more than half-way there
And the sooner from your easy-chair you realize
The thing we’ve all been lookin’ for has always been inside
You won’t find it in some lover’s eyes
Some shiny pretty thing you buy
You can run but you won’t find it nowhere else

The Resurrection Of Me
LYRICS

Downtrodden, given up, forgotten
Found my way all the way to the bottom
Lost everything I thought that I could lose
No hopin’, give a damn, broken
Three-time loser with a subway token
Walkin’ like a dead man in my shoes
But I swear I’ll find a way to turn it all around
‘Cause there’s nothin’ strong enough to keep my spirit down
Took a left, took a right
Sucker-punched by the fist of life, but I
Found on a way to get on my feet again
A little shaky from the blows
But I’ll be damned if it takes my soul, ‘cause I
Been down
But you’ll see
This is gonna be
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
Cold-jaded, street-hated
Called a punk and a bum berated
Never thought I’d be the one to lose my way
But it’s alright, ‘cause I know now
Got another chance to pick it up somehow
So brother won’t you hear me when I say
?I got a black-eyed soul but I still got a lotta heart
See it’s never too late to find a new place to start
Took a left, took a right
Sucker-punched by the fist of life, but I
Found a way to get on my feet again
A little shaky from the blows
But I’ll be damned if it takes my soul, ‘cause I
Been down
But you’ll see
This is gonna be
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
The resurrection of me yea, yea, yea
And I know they’ll always be the ones who cast their doubts
After all that I’ve been through
Nothin’s gonna hurt me now
Took a left, took a right
Sucker-punched by the fist of life, but I
Found a way to get on my feet again
A little shaky from the blows
But I’ll be damned if it takes my soul, ‘cause I
Been down

Freedom Lies Within

Everybody wants to run away to some far away paradise
To get outside their lives
But they don’t realize
That heaven’s not a place that lives inouter-space
It’s closer than you might have known
And if you’ll just be still
And accept it all you will
Find everything you’re lookin’ for
Has been right here all this
Time and this is what I know for sure
You won’t nd it out there
Truth is that the peace lies underneath the skin
Let go
‘Cause freedom lies within
Forget about the money
Runnin’ after somethin’
Someone on a dierent path
‘Cause things you cannot change
Will only bring you pain
There’s a realization
in the meditation
The quiet of your mind
So take your happiness
And breathe it in and live
And you will
Find everything you’re lookin’ for
Was right there all the
Time and this is what I know for sure
You won’t nd it out there
Truth is that the peace lies underneath the skin
Let go
’Cause freedom lies within
And you will
Find everything you’re lookin’ for
Has been right there all this
Time and this is what I know for sure
You won’t nd it out there
Truth is that the peace lies underneath the skin
Let go
’Cause freedom lies within
Freedom lies within
Freedom lies within
Woah…
Everybody wants to run away to some far away paradise

Pretty girl in New York
Cryin’ on the stairs
People pass her by
Like she isn’t there
Silent desperation
In the waves she sends
If she only knew
She could tune love in
Oh, oh you got to
Change your vibration
And become who you wanna be, yea
Change your vibration
And find the one that’s waiting underneath
Release
Love will set you free
Another frozen dinner
Mr. Friday night
Afraid to let anyone into his life, ah, ay, ife
But there’s a woman for him
In apartment C
Oh and if he’d let her she could raise his frequency
Oh, oh you got to
Change your vibration
And become who you wanna be, ah
Change your vibration
And find the one’s that’s waiting underneath
Release
Love will set you free
There’s a world unknowing
Who could heal their pain
If they only knew this simple thing
This simple thing
You got to
Change your vibration
And become who you wanna be, yea
Change your vibration

Shadow Of Doubt

Don’t think it’s over
when over is only a ghost
Just open a window
when you feel the doors have all closed
And just hold on
Another day’s coming along if you let it so
Hold out
There’s a lining of silver that traces the shadow of doubt
Don’t say ya can’t
when ya know damn well deep that ya can
Don’t turn away
oh now don’t let the fear steal your chance
And just hold on
Another day’s comin’ along if you let it, so
Hold out
There’s a lining of silver that traces the shadow of doubt
There’s another way
Always another road
So it’s steady on
And be good to yourself as you go
There will be rain
and the wind it may blow you off course
But don’t be denied
of the destiny waiting that’s yours
And just hold on
Another day’s comin’ along if you let it, so
Hold out
There’s a lining of silver that traces the shadow
Hold on
Another day’s comin’ along if you let it, so
Hold out
There’s a lining of silver that traces the shadow of doubt
There’s a lining of silver that traces the shadow of doubt
Don’t think it’s over

Just open a window

Hold out
There’s a lining of silver that traces the shadow of doubt
Don’t say ya can’t

Don’t turn away

A Book About Love
LYRICS

If I could write a book about life
It wouldn’t be so black and white
I’d pull from all the research
I’d been through
Ooo-oooh-oooh, yea
If I could write a book about us
And how to deal with all of our stuff
It wouldn’t really be that hard to do
‘Cause once you’re hip to all the things that can befall you
And you listen to the inner voice that calls you
That is when you start to see
Just how good your life can be
I guess what I would say to sum it up is
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love
If I could write a book about peace
I would say you gotta release
All the ways you think you’re right and they’re wrong
Ooo-oooh-oooh, yea
If I could write a book about hope
I’d say the key is in lettin’ go
Of all the dark assumptions you count on
‘Cause once you’re hip to all the things that can befall you
And you listen to the inner voice that calls you
This is when you start to see
Just how good your life can be
It’s the one thing that was meant for healing us, yea
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love
Why live of life of less
when your higher consciousness
is waiting there for you to find?
Once you’re hip to all the things that can befall you
And you listen to the inner voice that calls you
This is when you start to see
Just how good your life can be
I guess what I’m tryin’ to say to sum it up, is
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love
I’d write a book about love
Love, love, love, love

This world
Is battered and broken
The wounds are still open
And it’s fighting to breath
And all that
I can do is offer
A hand for a need
And the better side of me
And I have
Looked all around me
And I’ve seen the pain
And the faith on its knees
But I know
That I’m just one soul here
But I’m gonna lead
With the better side of me
‘Cause every single one of us matters
Redemption is the door that’s never closed
And even the least of our light scatters
Yea, even a little bit can make a difference
Yea this world
Is battered and broken
The wounds are still open
And it’s fighting to breath
Oh and I know
I’m just one in a million
But I’m gonna lead
With the better side of me
‘Cause every single one of us matters
Redemption is the door that’s never closed
And even the least of our light scatters
Yea, even a little bit can make a difference
Oh and I know

Where the only light’s your love I left behind
I’m in a coppermine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
And I’m miles under underground
And everything is fallin’ down
And I’m past the point of rescue
‘Cause the oxygen was you
I’m in a coppermine
It’s what you get
When you look for things that shine…shine
I’m in a copper mine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
You think you’ll hit the mother-load
Lookin’ for some foolish gold
Then you find you just can’t breathe
Another victim of believe
I’m in a coppermine
Where the only light’s your love I left behind
Yea, left behind
Yea…
And I’m miles underground
And everything is fallin’ down
And I’m past the point of rescue
‘Cause the oxygen was you
I’m in a coppermine
Where the only light’s your love I left behind
oh yea yea
I’m in a coppermine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
I’m in a coppermine
It’s what you get
When you look for things that shine…shine
I’m in a coppermine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
Comin’ back this time
Comin’ up this time
Comin’ back this time
I’m in a coppermine
Where the only light’s your love I left behind
I’m in a coppermine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
And I’m miles under underground
And everything is fallin’ down
And I’m past the point of rescue
‘Cause the oxygen was you
I’m in a coppermine
It’s what you get
When you look for things that shine…shine
I’m in a copper mine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
You think you’ll hit the mother-load
Lookin’ for some foolish gold
Then you find you just can’t breathe
Another victim of believe
I’m in a coppermine
Where the only light’s your love I left behind
Yea, left behind
Yea…
And I’m miles underground
And everything is fallin’ down
And I’m past the point of rescue
‘Cause the oxygen was you
I’m in a coppermine
Where the only light’s your love I left behind
oh yea yea
I’m in a coppermine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
I’m in a coppermine
It’s what you get
When you look for things that shine…shine
I’m in a coppermine
And I don’t know if I’m comin’ back this time
Comin’ back this time
Comin’ up this time
Comin’ back this time

You are only one
and I am only one
But together we can change the world
that’s yet to come
Sometimes I feel so small
Like I don’t count at all
And I know that you feel it too
But it’s all up to me and you to change
‘Cause the clock is always runnin’ day to day
But we gotta do somethin’ ‘cause it’s…
Time…Time…
Time to find
Another way, hey
Days go by
And in the blink of an eye
They’ll be gone
Like summer-wine
Don’t you think it’s time?
Ohhh….
It’s only talk for some
‘Cause it’s harder said than done
To get outside our comfort
And give of ourselves
But every time we do
A little more hope shines through
And the future looks much brighter than
What the newsman on the TV
Has to say
‘Cause whenever there’s a reason
There’s a way
But we gotta start today
‘Cause it’s
Time…Time…
Time to find…
Another way, hey
Days go by
And in the blink of an eye
They’ll be gone
Like summer-wine
Don’t you think it’s
Time…Ohhh….
Time for tomorrow
Time for tomorrow, today
Time for a new love
Time to give it away
Time for peace now
Time to start talkin’ again
Like we did then
It’s time…Time
Time to find
Another way, hey
Days go by
And in the blink of an eye
They’ll be gone
Like summer-wine
Time…Time
Time to find
Another way, hey
Days go by
And in the blink of an eye
They’ll be gone
Like summer wine
Don’t you think it’s time?
Woah…
Don’t you think it’s time?
You are only one
and I am only one
But together we can change the world
that’s yet to come

Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I’ve got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man
But now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
Your heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leavin’ me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like a water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
It’s here and then it’s gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again
I’ve got no expectations
I’ve got no expectations
To pass through here again
To pass through here again
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I’ve got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man
But now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
Your heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leavin’ me
You pack my peace of mind
Our love was like a water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
It’s here and then it’s gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again
I’ve got no expectations
I’ve got no expectations
To pass through here again
To pass through here again

Every time I smile
I let go of a little more pain
And every time I laugh
I get rid of a little more shame
These days I’ve figure out that
I’m the one to turn this thing around
And every time I do
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down, downtown and all around
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down
It’s gettin’ better now
And every time I dream
Oh I dream about feelin’ like this
And nothin’ weighs on me
No matter how heavy it is
‘Cause these days I’m realizin’
There’s a happiness beyond my doubts
And when the stars shake loose
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down, downtown and all around
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down
It’s gettin’ better now
All we need is inside of us
The answer is love, me and you, woah
We can live how we wanna live
All we need is the truth
Every step I take
I know it’s gettin’ me there
It’s not too far away
I can feel it in the air
These days I’ve figure out that
I’m the one to turn this thing around
And every time I do
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down, downtown and all around
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down
It’s gettin’ better now
A little more heaven falls down
Down, down, downtown and all around
And a little more heaven falls down
Down, down
It’s gettin’ better now
It’s all gettin’ better now
Every time I smile
I let go of a little more pain
And every time I laugh
I get rid of a little more shame
These days I’ve figure out that
I’m the one to turn this thing around
And every time I do
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down, downtown and all around
Yea, a little more heaven falls down
Down, down

And every time I dream
Oh I dream about feelin’ like this

Be The Change
LYRICS

Be the change you wish to see
In this world
‘Cause one and one will make eleven
We can make a heaven, yea
Be the spark that starts the flame
Light the way
All it takes is you and me
To be the change you wish to see
Oh, oh…woah
Oh, oh…woah
Feels impossible sometimes
The world seems so cold
and there are so many dividing lines
Breaks the heart
and wounds the soul
Sometimes we lose the faith
Gotta keep on
tryin’ to find a better way
Don’t you give up
No matter the pain
Oh, don’t you give up
Keep pushin’ right through the rain
Be the change you wish to see
In this world
‘Cause one and one will make eleven
We can make a heaven, yea
Be the spark that starts the flame
Light the way
All it takes is you and me
to be the change you wish to see
Oh, oh…woah
Oh, oh…woah
People say peace can’t be found
Just sit back and let the world go ’round
But that’s no way to make ourselves a better future
If everybody did just a little bit more
We’d be better off for sure
On our way to blue-sky days and hallelujahs
Don’t you give up
Keep stoking the faith
No, don’t you give up
‘Cause we’re makin’ a brand new day
Be the change you wish to see
In this world
‘Cause one and one will make eleven
We can make a heaven, yea
Be the spark that starts the flame
Light the way
All it takes is you and me
To be the change you wish to see
Oh, oh…woah
Oh, oh…woah
I know it seems like somethin’
Impossible to do
But all it takes now is to
lean into the groove
Be the change you wish to see
In this world
‘Cause one and one will make eleven
We can make a heaven, yea
Be the spark that starts the flame
Light the way
All it takes is you and me
To be the change, yea baby
Be the change you wish to see
In this world
‘Cause one and one will make eleven
We can make a heaven, yea
Be the spark that starts the flame
Light the way
All it takes is you and me
To be the change you wish to see
Oh, oh…woah
Oh, oh…woah
Be the change you wish to see
In this world
‘Cause one and one will make eleven
We can make a heaven, yea
Be the spark that starts the flame

I feel regeneration
I feel a change is movin’ in
People are wakin’ up
to possibilities again
An age of realization
of choosing love instead of fear
Here in the dawning light
It’s such a good time to be here
Hey shambala
Can’t you feel it all around?
Hey shambala
It’s time to come together now
Together now
I feel regeneration
I feel a warming of the heart
The walls are fallin’ down
The ones that kept us far apart
A newfound consciousness
Is on its way to us at last
The future’s yet to come
And the past is just the past
Hey shambala
Can’t you feel it all around?
Hey shambala
It’s time to come together now
Together now
Ah, ah, ah, ah
A time of reinvention
A time of right here now
A time of one vibration
A time of finding out
Hey shambala
Can’t you feel it all around?
Hey shambala
It’s time to come together now, yea
Hey shambala

Look at you
How ya light up when you smile
How you mesmerize the room
When you’re walkin’ through and
Got you down
But that ain’t where meant stay
Tomorrow’s on your side
So look inside
The sun is shining
And free your mind
and let your spirit wander
And sail right through the heavy clouds
that you’ve been under
You belong
Out where the laughter lives
So fall into your happiness
‘Cause you were meant for nothin’ less than this
You summer child
Innocence lives in your soul
And sometimes you pay the price
For the not so nice, just
Be yourself ’cause
Better things are on the way
And you can trust the fact
The universe has got your back
So free your mind
and let your spirit wander
And sail right through the heavy clouds
that you’ve been under
You belong out
where the laughter lives
So fall into your happiness
‘Cause you were meant for nothin’ less than this
Hey, wontcha think about it?
Just dream your dreams out loud and
Live your life
‘Cause it’s your time
Oh and free your mind
and let your spirit wander
And sail right through the heavy clouds
that you’ve been under
You belong out
where the laughter lives
So fall into your happiness
‘Cause you were meant for nothin’ less than this
Nothing less than this
Yea…
Nothing less than this
Yea
Ahh, nothing less than this
Look at you
How ya light up when you smile
How you mesmerize the room
When you’re walkin’ through and
Got you down
But that ain’t where meant stay
Tomorrow’s on your side
So look inside
The sun is shining
And free your mind
and let your spirit wander
And sail right through the heavy clouds
that you’ve been under
You belong
Out where the laughter lives
So fall into your happiness
‘Cause you were meant for nothin’ less than this
You summer child
Innocence lives in your soul
And sometimes you pay the price
For the not so nice, just
Be yourself ’cause
Better things are on the way
And you can trust the fact
The universe has got your back
So free your mind
and let your spirit wander
And sail right through the heavy clouds
that you’ve been under
You belong out
where the laughter lives
So fall into your happiness
‘Cause you were meant for nothin’ less than this
Hey, wontcha think about it?
Just dream your dreams out loud and
Live your life
‘Cause it’s your time
Oh and free your mind
and let your spirit wander
And sail right through the heavy clouds
that you’ve been under
You belong out
where the laughter lives
So fall into your happiness
‘Cause you were meant for nothin’ less than this
Nothing less than this
Yea…
Nothing less than this
Yea
Ahh, nothing less than this
How Deep I Can Love

How was I
Supposed to know?
I should’ve known
You were right
When you said
I wasn’t ready for the show
I passed your house
Tonight as I was drivin’ home
You don’t know
How much it kills me
to go back to alone
But the one thing I take from this
That I pulled from the emptiness
Is even though you’re still on my mind
You taught me somethin’ so fine
You opened a part of me
as vast as the swirling sea
and I just want to thank you
for showin’ me
How deep I can love…
Love…
For a while
You know I thought you were the one
I guess you were babe
‘Cause I’m still burnin’ like the sun
There’s a reason
Some people travel through our lives
If it’s only just to shake the heart awake
and make it come alive
And the one thing I take from this
That I pulled from your empty kiss
Is even though you’re still on my mind
It wasn’t all wasted time
‘Cause you opened a part of me
as vast as the swirling sea
And I just want to thank you
for showin’ me
How deep I can love…
Love…
Love…
Love…
And the one thing I take from this
That I pulled from the cold abyss
Is even though you’re still on my mind
You taught me somethin’ so fine
You opened a part of me
As vast as the swirling sea
Oh and I just want to thank you
Yea I just want to thank you
for showin’ me
How deep I can love…
Love…
How deep I can love…
Love…

It All Gets Better

I see this girl, she comes in the store every now and then
It’s like the darkness is her only friend
Like she’s been holdin’ on to where’s she’s been
For too long, too long, yea
She wears a smile like a black and white photograph
Nah, you ain’t gonna make her laugh
No matter what you say
‘Cause thinks the world
Made her that way
Sometimes I want to tell her “hey girl, just lighten up”
You ain’t the only one whose had it rough
But she wouldn’t take kindly to that kinda stuff
So I just carry her bags out to her car
And it only adds to the baggage she’s already got
But if she’d just realize there’s still a lot
Left to live
Forget, forgive
And it all gets better
When you want it to
It’s up to you
Yea it all gets better
When you want it to
And there’s this guy who runs the morning parking lot
Man he sure seems pissed off a lot
I make a joke, I’m like
Hey did you save me a spot?
And I laugh, but he won’t
He just shakes his head, and snarls as he waves me through
Takes a swig from his brown-paper 90 proof
Gets him through the day
And it keeps the pain
A little further away
You wonder what makes happy want to go and jump the tracks
And leave us all feelin’ like it ain’t comin’ back
Like we’re comatose
Like we’re stuck in a nightmare
With a long night to go
But if you open up your eyes you can see the light
Shinin’ from the shores of a better life
If you wanna live
Consider this
Forget, forgive
And it all gets better
When you want it to
It’s up to you
Yea it all gets better
When you want it to
And it all gets better
When you want it to
It’s up to you
Yea it all gets better
When you want it to
When you want it to
Yea when you want it to
Mmm…

Fear and faith
are created by the same energy, yea
It’s up to us to choose
Fear’ll hold you down
But faith’ll let ya fly
That’s when you find the wings of truth
Just put down all your limits
All of your reasons
for not livin’
‘Cause life is just waitin’, waitin’, waitin’
For you to begin
This is the time to start bein’
Everything you’ve been dreamin’
‘Cause life is just waitin’, waitin’, waitin’
to take you my friend
and give you the wind
You and I
Aren’t much different from the other one, no
One will doubt and one believes
Oh and I know how it feels
When the fear you got
Locks you up
But you’ve got the keys
to set your soul free
Just put down all your limits

Forgive Me

I came here to forgive myself
For the judgment I have held
It’s time to let go
I’ve carried this stone too long
It’s time for moving on
Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It’s really over now
Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
‘Cause I’m ready
To forgive me
Ahh…
I’ve lived in the past too long
So tired of the sorrow song
So I’m here
To give it up to the sky
And start on another life
Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It’s really over now
Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
‘Cause I’m ready
To forgive me
We can only run so far
With our cold regrets and scars
Hide the lights we really are
But I’m too tired to fight that war
Anymore
Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It’s really over now
Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
‘Cause I’m ready
To forgive me
Said I’m ready
To forgive me
I came here to forgive myself
For the judgment I have held
It’s time to let go
I’ve carried this stone too long
It’s time for moving on
Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It’s really over now
Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
‘Cause I’m ready
To forgive me
Ahh…
I’ve lived in the past too long
So tired of the sorrow song
So I’m here
To give it up to the sky
And start on another life
Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It’s really over now
Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again
‘Cause I’m ready
To forgive me
We can only run so far
With our cold regrets and scars
Hide the lights we really are
But I’m too tired to fight that war
Anymore
Let the river
Let the river wash it clean
And from here on let it be
It’s really over now
Let the sunlight
Let the sunlight warm my skin
Let it make me whole again

Said I’m ready

The Essence Of Life
LYRICS

You gotta love the pain
Love the struggle
‘Cause this is the essence of life
You gotta love the fear
Love the trouble
‘Cause it’s all a part of the ride
You gotta face the mirror
Face the music
And take every day as it comes
And when you stop fakin’ it
That’s when you start makin’ it
Every day gets a little bit brighter, oh
Every load gets a little bit lighter, oh
When you come to terms and reconcile
That it’s gonna go wrong
then it’s gonna go right sometimes
That’s where you’ll find
Yea, the essence of life
You gotta love the falls
Love the failures
‘Cause that’s how you know you’re alive
You gotta love the tears
Love the heartaches
‘Cause they make you stronger inside
You gotta welcome strange
And crazy days
‘Cause change is the only sure thing
And once you accept the fact
Is when you start finding that
Every day gets a little bit brighter, oh
Every load gets a little bit lighter, oh
When you come to terms and reconcile
That it’s gonna go wrong

The Hero’s Journey

The Hero's Journey
LYRICS

For every hero there is a road
that can take you somewhere
farther on than you’ve ever known
It’s a journey that might
break you to your soul
but if you dare to make a go
you might find a gift inside of you
that few will ever hold
For every hero there is a road
and a way back home
I was sittin’ comfortable
living in my life
The world was spinnin’
clouds were rollin’ by
When suddenly the walls caved-in
and left me to the night
Right there and then
I had to decide
whether I was bold enough
to cross the great abyss
or turn around and say
“to hell with this”
Then someone whispered
there’s a way to make it from the cliff
so I took a leap and found what freedom is
For every hero there is a road
that can take you somewhere
farther on than you’ve ever known
It’s a journey that might
break you to your soul
but if you dare to make a go
you might find a gift inside of you
that few will ever hold
For every hero there is a road
and a way back home
There were those who tested me
and swore that I would fail
fair-weather friends
that left me on the trail
Through the terror of the tempest
and the walls I had to scale
I found the strength to triumph and prevail
For every hero there is a road
that can take you somewhere
farther on than you’ve ever known
It’s a journey that might
break you to your soul
but if you dare to make a go
you might find a gift inside of you
that few will ever hold
For every hero there is a road
and a way back home
For every hero there is a road
that can take you somewhere
farther on than you’ve ever known
It’s a journey that might
break you to your soul
but if you dare to make a go
you might find a gift inside of you

For every hero there is a road

And you find a way
You find a way
You find a way
You find a way back home

Helping Hand
LYRICS

Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
We're gonna heal this broken land
I know you're running out of faith
You hear lies to your face
And the spin it just goes
on and on and on and on and
We think we can't make
any difference anyway
So we don't communicate
At all, at all, at all
But if I talk to you
and you just talk to me
We'll find that common ground
That's waiting in between…
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
We're gonna heal this broken land
Heal this broken land
There’s no better time to
Share your point of view
Even if we don't
agree, agree, agree, agree, no
That don't mean that we can't
Come up with a plan
‘Cause harmony is what
We need, we need, we need
And if I reach your way
and you reach out to mine
Who knows what kind of better
That we're gonna find...
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
‘Cause if we all pull in the same direction
We're gonna heal this broken land
We can make it all right
We can make it all right
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
‘Cause if we all pull in the same direction
Same direction, yea
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time

Come on over everybody

You been holdin’ back
So afraid that
Somehow you won't fit in
You stay in your space
Afraid to lose face
But deep down under your skin
You’re a wild one
You're the flower that blooms by the light of the moon
You're an island
Where treasures abound in an ocean of blue, oh and...
Hey now, hey now!
Step out of the shadows and show who are, oh and…
Hey now, hey now!
You're a beautiful soul and the world needs to know it so...
Come on, come on and be
Open and crazy...loving, laughing and free
Yea I know the deal
Life can make you feel
Like you just don't belong
But if they only knew
What I see in you
They'd say “what took so long?”
You’re a wild one
You're the flower that blooms by the light of the moon
You're an island
Where treasures abound in an ocean of blue, oh and...
Hey now, hey now!
Step out of the shadows and show who are
Hey now, hey now!
You're a beautiful soul and the world needs to know it so..
Come on, come on and be
Open and crazy...loving, laughing and free
You're the one thing
That everyone wishes that somehow they'd found
You're that something
That everyone misses when you're not around
Hey now, hey now
Step out of the shadows and show who are (oh now)
Hey now, hey now!
You're a beautiful soul and the world needs to know it so
Hey now, hey now
Step out of the shadows and show who are so
Come on, come on and be
Come on, come on and be
Open and crazy...loving, laughing and free
You been holdin’ back

Pushing Through
LYRICS

Every day I punch the clock
Though it might not mean a lot
Everyday I'm pushing through
'Cause I got places I must be
This is not my destiny
So I just keep on pushing through
Some might say that I'm in need
Bills to pay and mouths to feed
I'm give 'em that, I'll say it's true
They can't see these dreams at night
Swirling round inside my mind
and that's what keeps me pushing though
Oh......
I'm thankful for the work I get
And even though I'm not there yet
I'm getting closer
Oh...
No, it's not about the bottom line
It gives a meaning to my life
And gets me where I'm goin'
Slavin’ all the way till three
It's just my machine and me
Doin’ what we have to do
This is just a stop I made
Till I reach the grand parade
Until then I'm pushing through
Oh...
No it's not about the bottom line
It gives a meaning to my life
And gets me where I'm goin'
Every day I punch the clock
Though it might not mean a lot
This is what I chose to do
'Cause I got places I must be
This is not my destiny
So I just keep on pushing through
Yea I just keep on pushing through
Yea I just keep on pushing…through
Every day I punch the clock
Though it might not mean a lot
Everyday I'm pushing through
'Cause I got places I must be
This is not my destiny
So I just keep on pushing through
Some might say that I'm in need
Bills to pay and mouths to feed
I'm give 'em that, I'll say it's true
They can't see these dreams at night
Swirling round inside my mind
and that's what keeps me pushing though
Oh......
I'm thankful for the work I get
And even though I'm not there yet
I'm getting closer
Oh...
No, it's not about the bottom line

And gets me where I'm goin'
Slavin’ all the way till three
It's just my machine and me
Doin’ what we have to do
This is just a stop I made

Until then I'm pushing through

Love Is The Way

Love never dies
Love finds its place
Time after time
Love is the way
I’ve felt the hate
and I’ve fallen far
from its embrace
Yea, yea
But without fail
it sits and waits
to lead us back
‘Cause love is the way
Hey, hey
We can deny it, ohhh
to the depths of our rage
but love will not buy it
’cause love is the way
We can deny it
to the depths of our rage
but love will not buy it
’cause love is the way
Love never dies
Love finds its place
Time after time
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love never dies
Love finds its place
Time after time
Love is the way
I’ve felt the hate
and I’ve fallen far
from its embrace
Yea, yea
But without fail
it sits and waits
to lead us back
‘Cause love is the way
Hey, hey
We can deny it, ohhh
to the depths of our rage
but love will not buy it
’cause love is the way
We can deny it
to the depths of our rage
but love will not buy it
’cause love is the way
Love never dies
Love finds its place
Time after time
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love is the way
Love is the way
Then I Will Surrender

You keep calling me
showin’ me a vision opposite of what I see
It’s the gravest cruelty
’cause I know I’m not
and I don’t see the beauty and the grace you say I’ve got
Oh, but please don’t stop
And there’s a picture that
you keep showin’ me
and you say I’m in the photograph
and I just have to laugh
’cause listen I’m no fool
I was taught to know my place
and what I couldn’t do
but if your words ring true
That I can be anything that I will myself be
an unlimited potential can become reality
and if the slightest validation shows me
but a trace of truth
then I will surrender to you
then I will surrender to you
Even in my sleep
the grand parade comes marching through with all that I can be
The possibilities
and you keep pushing me
to step into the light outside my insecurities
and so if I believe
That I can be anything that I will myself be
an unlimited potential can become reality
and if the slightest validation
shows me but a trace of truth
then I will surrender to you
then I will surrender to you
You know you’re either
a pillar of the truth
or some confidence-deceiver
and I so wanna believe ya’
That I can be anything that I will myself be
an unlimited potential can become reality
and if the slightest validation
shows me but a trace of truth
then I will surrender to you
then I will surrender to you
I’m drawing ever-closer to the truth
then I will surrender to you
I will surrender
I will surrender to you
Oooh…
You keep calling me
showin’ me a vision opposite of what I see

I can’t wait till love finds me again
I can’t remember just how long it’s been
since I said the words I truly meant
I can’t wait till love finds me again
I can’t believe I still think of you
It’s like you’re here in everything I do
I know there’s no goin’ back to then
I can’t wait till love finds me again
No I can’t wait till love finds me again
‘Cause it’s been such a long time
since I let this heart of mine
open all the windows and the doors
and let in all the feelings from before
And it’s been such a long road
since we let it all go
I gotta lotta lonely time to spend
till love finds me again
I can’t wait to run into someone
who makes my imagination run
the way you did that summer way back when
I can’t wait till love finds me again
No I can’t wait till love finds me again
‘Cause it’s been such a long time
since I let this heart of mine
open all the windows and the doors
and let in all the feelings from before
And it’s been such a long road
since we let it all go
I gotta lotta lonely time to spend
Till love finds me again
It’s been such a long time
since I let this heart of mine
open all the windows and the doors
and let in all the feelings from before
And it’s been such a long road
since we let it all go
I gotta lotta lonely time to spend
I’m hopin’ that the time will be my friend
Till love finds me again, yea
Love finds me again
Mmm…mmm
I can’t wait till love finds me again
I can’t remember just how long it’s been
since I said the words I truly meant
I can’t wait till love finds me again
I can’t believe I still think of you
It’s like you’re here in everything I do
I know there’s no goin’ back to then
I can’t wait till love finds me again
No I can’t wait till love finds me again
‘Cause it’s been such a long time

And it’s been such a long road

What Do Ya Say
LYRICS

I know we only shared
a short time together
I felt we were becoming
birds of a feather
And then one flew away
and one had to stay
These nights go by and I can’t help
but lie here thinkin’ of you
Too soon to say that you love me
or me to say I love you
but we were both aware
there was more than somethin’ there
What do ya say
it was more than chance
Our paths would cross somewhere in the middle
Here’s to fallin’ in love just a little
Though it might not be in your plans
If you’re ever flyin’ back through Santa Fe
Hey what do ya say ay, ay, ay, ay…
Hey what do ya say ay, ay, ay, ay…
I never saw this coming
It was more than I expected
I guess it’s been a while
since I really felt connected
but in the midnight sun
we melted into one
What do ya say
it was more it was that chance
Our paths would cross somewhere in the middle
Here’s to fallin’ in love just a little
Though it might not be in your plans
If you’re ever flyin’ back through Santa Fe
Hey what do ya say…
Hey what do ya say ay, ay, ay, ay…
I wanted to get to know you better
You gave me a kiss I’ll have forever
Time stood still against our will
But look at the beautiful time we killed
What do ya say
it was more it was that chance
Our paths would cross somewhere in the middle
Here’s to fallin’ in love just a little
Though it might not be in your plans
If you’re ever flyin’ back through Santa Fe
Hey what do ya say ay, ay, ay, ay…
Hey what do ya say ay, ay, ay, ay…
Oh, say that you want me yea
Oh say that you miss me
‘Cause I’m missin’ you
I’m really missin’ you
Whoa…whoa
I know we only shared
a short time together
I felt we were becoming
birds of a feather
And then one flew away
and one had to stay
These nights go by and I can’t help
but lie here thinkin’ of you
Too soon to say that you love me
or me to say I love you
but we were both aware

Riding on the Same Train
LYRICS

Standing in the subway wind waiting at the station
wondering if the way back home’s ever gonna come
The sooner we find that time is really what we make it
No there’s no difference inbetween us
We’re all ridin’ on the same train…
train…
All of my life
I’ve been connected to
an infinite light
that somehow led me to
the place I am today
and even though I’ve got a ways to go
I know it’s alright
It took some time to figure out what’s inside
We’re just like anyone you’d
see out on the street
‘Cause I am you and you are me and
Standing in the subway wind waiting at the station
wondering if the way back home’s ever gonna come
The sooner we find that time is really what we make it
No there’s no difference inbetween us
We’re all riding on the same train…
train…
So many lives
Just going through the motions
Life slipping by
Without us ever knowing
we can have our dreams
‘Cause I am you and you are me
Standing in the subway wind, waiting at the station
wondering if the way back home’s ever gonna come
The sooner we find that time is really what we make it
No there’s no difference inbetween us
We’re all riding on the same train…
train…
I’ve been runnin’ for a long time
tryin’ to find other side of me
Ain’t no reason that don’t have a rhyme
and one day we’ll all find
we’re right where we’re meant to me
Standing in the subway wind waiting at the station
wondering if the way back home’s ever gonna come
The sooner we find that time is really what we make it
No there’s no difference inbetween us
no difference inbetween us
Standing in the subway wind, waiting at the station

There is a feeling
that there’s so much more to thisIt keeps me searchin’
