Come Back
04:07
|
|||
|
I'm on a mission of life
Comin' home, while on an airplane
I hear a voice in my mind
Coaxing me, on to the next phase
Come back, come back here
Come back after you dry your tears
Come back, come back dear
Come back after you drop your fears
We're different places in life
But we both wake in the same dream
And when emotions collide
We can heal, and deal with it downstream
Come back, come back here
Come back after you dry your tears
Come back, come back dear
Come back after you drop your fears
All your burdens, long remembered
Hand picked by you, will be untethered
Not everybody can fly
But every spirit can rise...
Come back, come back here
Come back after you dry your tears
Come back, come back dear
Come back after you drop your fears

Just Go
04:01
|
|||
|
Someone lie with me tonight
And tell me things will be all right
But someone asks and wants to know
What's the way to go?
Just go...
This is a chapter of your life
No one can tell you otherwise
I got the feeling you're OK
No telling which way you should go
Some of us could use the space
And take some time to rearrange
But someone asks and wants to know
What's the way to go?
Just go...
This is a chapter of your life
No one can tell you otherwise
I got the feeling you're OK
Stop asking which way you should go
This is a chapter of your life
No one can tell you otherwise
I got the feeling you're OK
Don't worry which way you should go
Just go...

Angel of Mercy
03:49
|
|||
|
Angel of mercy, angel of pain
Intercede as I call your name
No one can harm you
If no one can find you
But destiny will rise up beside you
And if you listen, a simple melody rings out
Singing words of wisdom
While the world just spins away
Passing understanding
Will you ever be the same?
All through the ages, we've asked for answers
Blind to see the signs that you hand us
Saints of impossible, reveal your power
Is it time, and is this the hour?
And if you listen, a simple melody rings out
Singing words of wisdom
While the world just spins away
Passing understanding
Will you ever be the same?
Angel of mercy, angel of pain
Intercede as I call your name
Angel of gratitude, faith, love and charity
Forgive our flaws, in all their severity
And if you listen, a simple melody rings out
Singing words of wisdom
While the world just spins away
Passing understanding
Will you ever be the same?

Makes Me Feel
04:04
|
|||
|
The times have changed, and so have I
Across the universe, and places in my mind
And like a vessel on the sea
The future, my horizon follows me
And I see, by the way it makes me feel...
I'm hoping that my intention, materializes in an instant
Whatever comes my way, I'll never push it away
'Cause I've brought it, I've brought it on
As above, so below
The future is not ours to see, beyond the winding road
But there are places, in this world
The universe has let the veil unfurl
And I see, by the way it makes me feel...
I'm hoping that my intention, materializes in an instant
Whatever comes my way, I'll never push it away
'Cause I've brought it, I've brought it on
Whatever comes my way, I'll never push it away
'Cause I've brought it, I've brought it on
The way it makes me feel, the way it makes me feel...
The way it makes me feel, the way it makes me feel...

Everything
03:37
|
|||
|
Instead of suffering in silence, I started suffering out loud
Before I knew what had happened, I started gathering a crowd
The things you want, the things you need
You would give anything, anything to have everything
I like to talk to you in color, and tell you skies are blue
And if it seems like a riddle, just know that what I say is true
The things you want, the things you need
You would give anything, anything to have everything
The things you want, the things you need
You would give anything, anything to have everything

Increase the Peace
03:37
|
|||
|
What gets defeated when history's repeated?
And all the compromises are compromised again
Another scene, from a magazine
That paves the way to peace with forceful interaction
It's sweet relief if we increase the peace
I know the way that it sounds, but what else will end the grief?
I'm onto something, but something turns to nothing
Sometimes nothing is, the coolest hand of all
It's sweet relief if we increase the peace
I know the way that it sounds, but what else will end the grief?
It's sweet relief if we increase the peace
I know the way that it sounds, but what else will end the grief?

I Will Remain
03:14
|

|
Little darling, don't get that look upon your face
Leaves are blowing, and I'll be going away
Little darling, you know that I'm never far away
Just think of me, and you will see
That I'll be right here, and will remain...
Little darling, I don't know what else that I can say
In my mind, I'm by your side
Because I'll be right here, and will remain...
Dreams and hopes go up like smoke and swirl around you
I think it's strange that you have changed me
So I don't want to ever say goodbye
And now I'll be right here, and will remain...
Little darling, don't get that look upon your face
Leaves are blowing, and I'll be going away
Little darling, you know that I'm never far away
Just think of me, and you will see
That I'll be right here, and will remain
I'll be right here, and will remain
I'll be right here, and will remain...

Way Back Home
03:43
|
|||
|
I've found a way, another way to gain peace of mind
I just let it all go by
I'm on my way back home
And though I'm not all alone
Each step I make is all my own
I'm on my way back home
So many times you roll the dice and then roll your eyes
It's nothing you haven't heard before
Sometimes it's fate and other times it's just foolish pride
That stops you from what you're looking for
I'm on my way back home
And though I'm not all alone
Each step I make is all my own
I'm on my way back home
Sometimes you win, other times you get what you need
The difference is what you can concede
I'm on my way back home
And though I'm not all alone
Each step I make is all my own
I'm on my way back home

Lost at Sea
03:43
|
|||
|
Waiting for something, to fall from the sky
But when you live your life like a sailor lost at sea
Why even try?
From nothing comes something, you know that it's true
But when you live your life like a sailor lost at sea
What works for you?
What are you seeking, and what have you found?
Once you've foresaken, all that you've taken
You'll be unbound
What are you thinking? If you only knew
But you live your life like a sailor lost at sea
Where is your clue?
What are you seeking, and what have you found?
Once you've foresaken, all that you've taken
You'll be unbound
When I see your eyes, I can see the light is gone
When you hear the lies, it only means the path is long
What are you thinking? If you only knew
But you live your life like a sailor lost at sea
Where is your clue?
What are you seeking, and what have you found?
Once you've foresaken, all that you've taken
You'll be unbound
What are you seeking, and what have you found?
Once you've foresaken, all that you've taken
You'll be unbound

Cleansing Rain
03:39
|
|||
|
It's a cleansing rain, coming down again
And it's just the thing to wash away the pain
Down the hole, in your soul
A thought occurred to me, I think the best would be
That someone comes and takes your whole life savings
In that boulder, from your shoulder
Did your perspective change, when things were rearrange?
And you stood there in a world gone crazy
Hope was lowered, til it blew over
It's a cleansing rain, coming down again
And it's just the thing to wash away the pain
Down the hole, in your soul
You wanted no surprises, but heavy weather rises
Can't you see the things that seemed so hopeless and so tragic
Turned into magic?
It's a cleansing rain, coming down again
And it's just the thing to wash away the pain
Down the hole, in your soul
Don't wanna be a freedom fighter
I wanna be a reader/writer
A poet, who shows it by being open to change
It's a cleansing rain, coming down again
And it's just the thing to wash away the pain
Down the hole, in your soul
It's a cleansing rain, coming down again
And it's just the thing to wash away this pain

My Feet
04:22
|
|||
|
Don't step on my feet, don't step on my feet
Don't step on my feet, don't step on my feet
Don't step on my wings, down on the floor
I'll pick them back up and use them more
If I'm gasoline, I'll meet my match
With presence of mind a safety catch
And two more lifetimes and then we'll meet again
I feel like some things are changing, I feel
I see things on the horizon, I see
An angel whispered in my ear
Live more, smile more, open your eyes more
And breath more serenely, a better day will come
Don't step on my feet, don't step on my feet
Don't step on my feet, don't step on my feet
Don't step on my wings, down on the floor
I'll pick them back up and use them more
When will we realize, we have it all?
The flame that burns bright, burns half as long
And two more lifetimes and then we'll meet again
I feel like some thing is happening, I feel
I see things with my eyes closed, I see
An angel whispered in my ear
Live more, smile more, open your eyes more
And breath more serenely, a better day will come

Give me the strength to realign
Set my friends' souls alight
And ease these days coming
Like the breeze through a gentle windmill
Please let us all realign
And lead us all through the darkness
And teach us the lessons of our sadness
And if it's not time for us all to realign
Please let us all gently rise
Please let us all gently rise...

Shine My Light
04:02
|

At some point in this life
The rain is gonna fall
Are you able to see past the pain
To things you’ve gained
And see it all as just a gift?
And when it’s getting dark
I know you’re feeling small
Are you gonna spend your life in bed
Like waking dead
Or are you gonna shine your light?
I’m gonna shine my light on you
I’m gonna shine my light on you
I’m gonna shine my light on you
And now the time has come
To ask this of yourself
Is your focus on the stress and strain
All in vain
Is now the time to shine your light?
I’m gonna shine my light on you
I’m gonna shine my light on you
I’m gonna shine my light on you
Something better is always coming
But believe before you’ll see
Raise your bloodshot eyes
And don’t turn them away
Something better is on its way
So just breathe and then release
Relax and let things be
Beneath the stormy skies…
