All That Remains
04:18
|
|||
Hot, silent tears.
The sting of your slap
Leaves a scar on my heart.
You’re so good at pretending
Even you believe it
But I see you
And it boils up inside
And makes me writhe
It tears a hole
That gets bigger with time
Until it takes over
And all that remains
Is an empty, dark shell
Of pain.
The rain is cold
Still it offers no respite
From the seething in my soul.
I’m so good at pretending
Even you believe it
Something needs to change
‘Cause it boils up inside
And makes me writhe
It tears a hole
That gets bigger with time
Until it takes over
And all that remains
Is an empty, dark shell
Of pain.
The scowling clouds
A blanket of darkness
On the edge of earth and sky
Is it still pretending
When you know it’s true?
What’s the point anymore.
And it boils up inside
And makes me writhe
It tears a hole
That gets bigger with time
Until it takes over
And all that remains
Is an empty, dark shell
Of pain.

She Walked Along
04:17
|
|||
There she was, staring at the crossroads
Frozen still, stopped in her fear.
All her dreams, buried in the shadows
Just waiting for the light to appear.
And she walked along, hoping for an answer
She walked along, tryin’ to find her way
Kept on walking ‘til the morning came, the light did not betray.
And pretty soon she found herself in another day.
Along the way, while she was walkin’
There were those she’d never known
Side by side, they started talkin’
Hand in hand, they were not alone.
And they walked along, hoping for an answer
They walked along, tryin’ to find a way
Kept on walking ‘til the morning came, the light did not betray.
And pretty soon they found themselves in another day.
Where were you, oh where were you
when they were falling.
Where were you, oh where were you
when they were down.
Where were you, oh where were you
when they were calling.
Where were you, oh where were you
when they hit the ground.
Fear and doubt will lead to worry
Steal the joy from heart and mind
On a path, we can share our journeys
A fellowship of humankind.
And we walk along, hoping for an answer
We walk along, tryin’ to find a way.
Keep on walking ‘til the morning comes, the light will not betray.
Pretty soon we’ll find ourselves in another day.
Oh we walk along, hoping for an answer.
Yes we walk along, tryin’ to find a way.
Keep on walking ‘til the morning comes, the light will not betray.
Pretty soon we’ll find ourselves in another day.
Pretty soon I’ll find myself in another day.
Pretty soon
I’ll find myself
In another day.

There You Were
04:18
|
|||
I wandered along, down by the river
For to ease my aching heart
Even in the warmth, I felt a shiver
As my world was torn apart
Shattered and longing for redemption
All my desires were just a blur.
Haunted by the fear of my transgression,
I closed my eyes and there you were.
Here in my dreams, you’re like an angel,
Turning shadows into light.
I see your beauty, and I’m hopeful
That the end, we can re-write
To release me from the heartache
I never thought it would occur
Spent so much time looking for an escape
Finally turned, and there you were.
Now by my side, for the journey
I only hoped it could be true.
You were always here, and i am learning
To trust the dream - and see it through.
Delight in the joy of this devotion
Promise of a love that can endure
Steady and strong, always in motion
I reached for your hand, and there you were.

Perfectly Blue
04:18
|
|||
Staring out across the sky
I sit and watch the clouds go by
I wonder how it is so perfectly blue
And I wonder if you see it that way too….
Maybe we could fly.
Once you were a butterfly.
And you sang a lullaby.
What happens to the dreams that we used to dream?
And it doesn’t matter how much time goes by,
Still I wonder why.
I wonder if I’ll see a miracle.
And I wonder how it’ll all turn out.
I wonder why oh, true love makes it hard to breathe.
And I wonder what I’ll ever be.
What I’ll ever be.
I remember when you said goodbye
I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t cry
And why is it we simply waste all our time
When the world can change
in the blink of an eye.
So maybe we should fly.

Another Time and Place
04:29
|
|||
When i look into your eyes
I swear that I can see forever
When I’m with you it’s no surprise
Everything in life is better
So what happened to it all
I dreamed my dreams in your embrace
I never thought that we would fall
Maybe we could have had it all
In another time and place.
The night is here to stay again
I close my eyes so I can see
And in the darkness I befriend
All the things aren’t what I thought they should be
So what happened to it all
I dreamed my dreams in your embrace
I never thought that we would fall
Maybe we could have had it all
In another time and place.

Come This Far
04:13
|
|||
I am no longer what I was
I will remain what I’ve become
Having come this far I’m not sure that I can be broken
Oh, the best is yet to come.
You treated me like an option so I left you like a choice.
What I allow will continue so I learned to use my voice
I only ever look back just to see how far I’ve come
I keep my face to the sun.
I am no longer what I was
I will remain what I’ve become
Having come this far I’m not sure that I can be broken
Oh, the best is yet to come.
Life, it can be tough, but darling so am I
Don’t ever let your fear of falling tear down your dream to fly
It’s hard before it gets easy, from my weakness comes my strength
Your beginning does not have to match your end.
I am no longer what I was
I will remain what I’ve become
Having come this far I’m not sure that I can be broken
Oh, the best is yet to come.
I didn’t come this far
To only come this far
I am not thrown into the fire
Oh I am the fire
Standing in the ashes
Of who I used to be.
I am no longer what I was
I will remain what I’ve become
Having come this far I’m not sure that I can be broken
Oh, the best is yet to come.

Let Me In
04:43
|
|||
I see you in there
Behind your bright eyes
And irresistible smile
I see the wall
You have carefully built
To preserve your heart
At least for awhile.
Until one day
You wake up and take a look around
And you regret the love you never found.
I'm asking you to let me in
Or let me go.
Just let me in,
Or let me go.
I know what it’s like
I have borne the pain
And felt my spirit being torn apart.
Still i ache to be near you
To be close enough to feel your breath
To feel the beating of your heart.
I want to know what you know
And I wanna hold your hand
I want to go where you go,
Take me to the promised land.
I need you to
Let me in
Or let me go
Baby just let me in
Or let me go.
I don’t want to fall in love again
Oh fall in love, just to be alone
But if I fall in love again,
Oh fall in love, I could love you.
I want to fall in love again,
Oh fall in love, in love with you.
I want to fall in love
I wanna love you, I wanna love you.
So let me in,
Or let me go.
Please baby just let me in,
Or let me go.
If you can’t let me in,
I’m gonna have to let you go.
So please just let me in,
'cause I don’t wanna go.
Oh... let me in or let me go.

Daughter of the Sun
03:35
|
|||
I awaken
In the silence
From the violence
Of the night
In the darkness
I can hear my
Spirit Calling.
The earth is humming under me
And I feel the dew stick to my feet
A breeze is stirring all around
I feel the heat rise from the ground
The morning light caresses me
It dances on the whispering wheat
Spirit Calling
I hear the cry of my heart
A song of healing
A song of love
I breathe them in.
I look to the sky
A daughter of the sun
Surrender to the one
And I am free.
I have found it
Where I come from
I have found
Where I belong
Beauty matters,
Truth matters
Spirit Calling.
Release the dark, embrace the light
Live to love, become the bright
And Shine your life on everything
The sun upon an Eagle’s wing
Born with a fire inside of me
Awake refreshed hopeful free
Spirit Calling.
I hear the cry of my heart
A song of healing
A song of love
I breathe them in.
I look to the sky
A daughter of the sun
Surrender to the one
And I am free

Worthy
04:38
|

See the light
Shines from behind your eyes,
And your spirit
Wants to soar into the sky
It’s the same light
You see in others too
It’s shining here
on you.
Through the valley
Can you sing a brighter song?
See the beauty
It’s been here all along.
No more hiding
Can you stand here and believe
There is so much more to you
Than you can ever see?
You are worthy of being loved
You are worthy.
You are worthy of being loved.
You are worthy, of being loved.
You are worthy, oh of being loved.
Love
Is the light that brightens
every hearts' darkness
You’re deserving of a life
that sparkles.
And life is much too long
To settle for what’s less
Than fully alive
Find the courage
To look into the dark
And you’ll discover
The power of your light
recovered
And the biggest chance by far
Is to stand in the light
And be seen for who we are.
Stand in the light of your love.
Stand in the light of your love.
Stand in the light, oh
Stand in the light.
Stand in the light of your love.
You are worthy of being loved.
You are worthy.
You are worthy of being loved.
You are worthy, of being loved.
You are worthy, oh of being loved.

Fade Away
03:25
|
|||
Just like the star pales in the glow of the morning
Surrender your doubt and into the warmth give way.
Set it all aside and I promise
Into the light it will fade away
And when the moonlight fades in the darkness
as shadows that pass into a deeper shade.
Set it all aside and I promise
Into the light it will fade away.
All fade away.
When the memory fades of a once-heard tale
And the evening dissolves into the sunset flame
Set it all aside and I promise
Into the light it will fade away.
All fade away.
All fade away.
Waves they come in
And waves they go out.
Like dew on the sea
Evanescing throughout.
All fade away.
All fade away.
All fade away.
All fade away.

It might have been better.
You should have tried to run
To the faraway place
Where you could end the chase.
Nothing ever goes away
Until it teaches you
What you need to know
And in the pain you grow.
The most extraordinary battle
that you have to win,
Is the one that’s inside of you,
the battle within
Meet the darkness and the sadness,
let confusion begin
Face the fear, overcome,
the only way out is in.
You can be shaped
Or you can be broken
Do you have a bleeding heart
After things fall apart?
If you’d stop leaving
You would arrive
What are you running from?
Will the payoff ever come?
The most extraordinary battle
that you have to win,
Is the one that’s inside of you,
the battle within
Meet the darkness and the sadness,
let confusion begin
Face the fear, overcome,
the only way out is in.
Run…. from your shadow
but from the truth you cannot hide
Run ….. but you can never escape
from the pain that you feel inside.
(you can) Run…. from your shadow
but from the truth you cannot hide
(you can) Run ….. but you can never escape
from the darkness that’s inside.
The most extraordinary battle
that you have to win,
Is the one that’s inside of you,
the battle within
Meet the darkness and the sadness,
let confusion begin
Face the fear, overcome,
the only way out is in.
