Beauty of it All
04:02
|
|||

When you walk, you should walk proud
When you sing, you should sing it out loud
Cause there’s a place, that bares no name
Where our differences, make us the same
Where we get up, from the place where we fall
It’s in the beauty, the beauty of it all
When I run, I don’t run away
I’m chasing down the dream of a better day
Past the sunset's watchful eye
On through Eden’s snow capped smile
And I swear, I hear the angels call
From the beauty, the beauty of it all
Your beauty’s not your painted eyes
Beauty’s not your golden skin
Your beauty is a light divine
It’s something found somewhere within
We’ll go swimming, in blue eyed pools
We laugh like lovers and love like fools
But time’s cruel hands
Will twist our fate
Giving us high hopes just to take them away
Hey Mr Devil, I live to see you crawl
Out of the beauty, the beauty of it all
Of it all, the beauty of it all ... (all in all is all we are)...

Giving in Giving Up
04:09

Living is, faith in the prayer
Living is, truth above the dare
Living is, a smile behind the mask
A smile is still a smile
So sad you need to ask
Living is, blood in the fight
Living is, the heat from the light
Living is, loves every changing form
The struggle to be good
From the moment we are born
Are we giving in, giving up, giving in, giving up
Maybe we can try harder
Are we giving in, giving up, giving in, giving up
Maybe we should try harder
Living is, getting lost in your eyes
Living is, how you sing a lullaby
Living is, the motions of the dance
It’s the start of a new romance
Getting one more chance
Are we giving in, giving up, giving in, giving up
Maybe we should try harder
Giving in, giving up, giving in, giving up
Maybe we should try harder
Maybe we should try ...

If by chance we lose our way
Don’t tell me it’s too late
To turn around, take a stand, raise your voice, extend a hand
Don’t give up, please don’t give up
How many hearts will break before we put aside our pride
How may hearts will crumble before we take a look inside
Oh I’ll try, will you try
No one’s perfect, we’re human after all
We’re all searching, we’re bound to fall
Make it alright, strive to be kind
We’re only human
If by chance all hell breaks
Promise me you’ll keep the faith
Open hearts, open minds, open arms open wide
Don’t give up, don’t give up
How many hearts will break before we put aside our pride
How may hearts will crumble before we take a look inside
Oh I’ll try, will you try
No one’s perfect, we’re human after all
We’re all searching, we’re bound to fall
Make it alright, strive to be kind
I’ll believe if you’ll believe
We can fly, together you and I
Anything is possible,
We’ll be alright, strive to be kind
Breathe in the light, simply divine
We’re only human

Carousel
03:14
|
|||
|
The sky is falling around us
Darkness may swallow us whole
Feels like we’ve been here forever
Maddening eclipse of the soul
The primal instinct to break free
Fight or flight for our lives
The angels and devils they play tug of war
Toy with chance and will of you and I, but we survive
Oh, we all go up and down
Spinning around and round
On life’s carousel
Oh, all of us fall down
For every action, there’s a reaction
We are lost we are found, we are free, we are bound
We are all on borrowed time
We are right, we are wrong, we are weak, we are strong
Pushing and pulling and searching for answers
Oh, we all go up and down
Spinning around and round
On life’s carousel
Oh, all of us falling down
Dizzy from spinning round
On life’s carousel
Oh, this is our battle cry
Goodbye alibis, goodbye, saying goodbye

Way Down
04:12
|

|
Of those things that were ever said
Of those things that were ever done
Of those things that you’re running from, I’m one
Of those hearts that were made to break
Of those feelings ready to forsake
All those dreams that you wanted from me, are now gone
Think you’re wanting too much, think you’re wanting too much
You always had this hope for me
You led me to a holy tree
You asked me if I want to believe, but I don’t
You ask me if I want to receive, but I won’t
Think you’re wanting too much, think you’re wanting too much
But if you go way down, way down, deep in the heart
If you go way down, you’ll find, it’s dark
I think you’re wanting too much, I think you’re wanting too much
You asked me if I want to believe, but I don’t
You ask me if I want to receive, but I won’t
I think you’re wanting too much ...
Cause if you go way down, way down
Deep in the heart
If you go way down, way down
You won’t believe how dark
if you go way down, way down
Deep in the heart of hearts
If you go way down you’ll light, a spark
Think you’re wanting too much

If I Could Just Have One
03:20
|

Maybe I could be more able
To do all those things that needs to be done
Maybe that bottle on the table
Will tell you that I only had some
Maybe I could wake with the rising sun
If I could just have one
Maybe of those things that I’m feeling
Regrets, there would be none
Maybe the need for some healing
Won’t be from those things that I’d done
Maybe I could sleep with the setting sun
If I could just have one
One, if I could just have one
One, just one and done
One
Maybe I could say it was all in fun If I could just have one
I hope you never give in, I hope you never give up
I hope you never lose faith, now come on babe fill my cup
One, if I could just have one One, just one and done One, if I could just have one
Maybe I could say it was all in fun If only I could just have one

Angels in the Sun
04:37
|

|
Try to believe with the believers
They seemed to know who’d won
Tried to deceive with the deceivers
When all was said and done, they left me standing dumb
I moved back and forth around, up sideways down
Then I heard them, a calling
Some say I’m crazy, cause I’m the only one who saw
Angels in the sun
I swear I saw them, build my kingdom come
Angels in the sun
In my mind I built these towers
Where I’d feel safe and sound
Then I asked myself a question
One that’s so profound, It tore those towers down
I moved back and forth around, up to sideways down
Then I heard, a calling
Some say I’m crazy, cause I’m the only one who saw
Angels in the sun
I swear I saw them, build my kingdom come
Angels in the sun
I’m telling you the truth
Well in my eyes was proof
I can’t unsee all that I saw
Maybe you don’t believe that
Cause you won’t receive that
Maybe it’s faith, maybe it’s truth
Maybe it’s god

Dear Hate
03:56

Dear hate
Let me introduce you to some kindness
I can coax that monkey off your back
I can lift that chip right off your shoulder
Show compassion that you lack
Dear hate
Aren’t you tired of feeling dark and desperate
Chasing that sugar high of lies
Justifying your provocation
As you sing your battle cry
Think of what we could get done
Walking hand in hand as one
I can see it, can you feel it
Time to heal the deep divide
One heart, one blood, one love, one side
Can you picture that?
Dear hate
Let me hold you close for a moment
Heart to heart, see how good it feels
Unchain that burden that binds you
Give up your war so you can heal.
Think of what we could get done
Walking hand in hand as one
I can see it, can you feel it
Time to heal the deep divide
One heart, one blood, one love, one side
Can you envision that?
Infuse you, enfold you, surround you, enclose you
Fill you, overflow you, let the love train derail you
Welcome to tranquility
Peace love and harmony
Imagine that
One heart, one blood, one love, one side
Think of what we could get done
Walking hand in hand as one
I can see it, can you feel it
Time to heal the deep divide
One heart, one blood, one love, one side
Think of what we could get done
All of us spreading love
I can see it, can you feel it
Standing strong in unity
For all of humanity
Can you imagine that?
Dear hate, dear hate.

Gleam and Beam
04:08

You made me, in your image
And you held me, with your eyes
And you soothed me with a whisper
Despite the cruel words of those lullabies
My light is yours, your light is mine
We come together beyond space and time
When we gleam and beam
I made you, in my image
And I held you with adoring eyes
And I soothed you with a memory
Of those songs that still make me smile
My light is yours, your light is mine
We come together beyond space and time
When we gleam and beam
My light is yours, your light is mine
We come together beyond space and time
Make the connection, underneath the mind
A love that’s made for you and I
When we gleam and beam

Time

You spend your whole life reaching for the stars
So many roads to choose, to find out who you are
Nights blend into days, days turn into years
We all fall down, clarity through tears.
And we begin with so much
Time and time again we leave the past behind
Start with empty canvas vibrant colours design
Seasons start to fade away the years rolling by
Getting near the end and the enemy is time time.
There’s no guide book, to tell us who to be
We get lost sometimes, trying to be seen
Those that drag you down, try to pull you in
Don’t lose momentum, you know where you have been.
And we begin with so much
Time and time again we leave the past behind
Start with empty canvas vibrant colours design
Seasons start to fade away the years rolling by
Getting near the end and the enemy is time time.
Find magic in small treasures, so beautiful
It’s the little things, they’re indisputable
What use to bore you, let it thrill you to your core
And hold on to each minute like it’s the last one with you in it.
And we begin with so much
Time and time again we leave the past behind
Start with empty canvas vibrant colours design
Seasons start to fade away the years rolling by
Getting near the end and the enemy is time time.
Time and time again we find we’re falling behind
Adding to your canvas welcoming your design
Seasons fade away we watch the years slipping by
Closer to the end and the enemy is time time.

Hey Hey
03:19
|

|
It’s a heavy time, it’s a heavy load
We’re all ticking time bombs ready to explode
So much confusion, so much unknown
We’ll make it through, we’re not alone
Looking for that rainbow
Searching for that pot of gold
Hey hey, it’ll be alright,
I got your back and you’ve got mine
Hey hey, it’s good to be alive
Hey hey, it’ll be okay
Open hearts break chains
Hey hey, we can live a joyful life
If we just join hands
Let’s take a pause, let’s take a breath
Your weight is mine, I’ll be your strength
Light overcomes as darkness fades
Shine mine on you, chase the clouds away
Have faith, here come those blue skies
Dreams really do come true, I believe they do
Hey hey, it’ll be alright,
I got your back and you’ve got mine
Hey hey, it’s good to be alive
Hey hey, it’ll be okay
Open hearts break chains
Hey hey, we can live a joyful life
If we just join hands
What are you waiting for, just take a leap of faith
What are you waiting for, one life be the change
What are you waiting for?
Hey hey ...
(That’s what Robert says)

Red River
03:18

My eyes see, my heart bleeds
I never walked a mile in your shoes
I can’t profess to feel your pain
Tell your story, show me your truth
Can’t let the river keep flowing, red river flowing
River keep flowing down to the sea
It’s so easy to float, down we go
Can’t let the river keep flowing, down to the sea
It’s the formative years and the company you keep
You learn to be racist and you’re taught how to hate
We’ve got a choice to stop this cycle
Raise our voices, let’s end this today
Can’t let the river keep flowing, red river flowing
River keep flowing down to the sea
It’s so easy to float, down we go
Can’t let the river keep flowing, down to the sea
Money and greed will be our demise
Hate and destruction the human disease
My heart knows, there’s more love than hate
Let love rule, these chains will break free
Can’t let the river keep flowing, red river flowing
River keep flowing down to the sea
It’s so easy to float, down we go
Can’t let the river keep flowing, down to the sea ...

Come Down
04:00

|
Everything seems so different
Just look around, just look around
It’s like everybody’s keeping secrets
They don’t make a sound, they don’t make a sound
Ya I need to know the truth
How you got so high
When you gonna come down
When you gonna fall to your knees
When you gonna drop to the ground
When you gonna come down
When you gonna do as I please
When you gonna come crawling round
Ya I need to know, somehow it will make me feel better
And I’m starting to wonder
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
These secrets they echo like thunder
Deep in my mind, deep in my mind
Ya I need to know the truth
How you got so high
When you gonna come down
When you gonna fall to your knees
When you gonna drop to the ground
When you gonna come down
When you gonna do as I please
When you gonna come crawling round
I need to know, somehow this will make me feel better I need to know, somehow it’ll change the weather

Here we stand
In the middle of a hurricane
Against the wind
Trying to escape the rain
I’m just hoping to survive when It comes to fight or flight, you or I
And only one of us can rise
Tell me it’s alright, say it’s alright
Tell me it’s alright, say it’s alright
Just making it though this night
The only thing that’s in my sight
Win this fight
Only one of us can rise
Out of this night
Take a chance
That’s what everyone is telling me
They say it’s easier to dance
In the eye of a hurricane
We’re just hoping to survive
And it’s come to fight or flight you and I
Maybe both of us will rise, out of this night
Tell me it’s alright, say it’s alright
Tell me it’s alright, say it’s alright
Let’s make it though this night T
he only thing that’s in my sight
Win this fight
Maybe both of us can rise Into the light

The Great Divide
04:40
|

|
I find myself on bended knee
As a war of words washes over me
How did the river get deep and wide
When did we dig this great divide?
It’s hard to know just who to trust
Wear that amour if you must
I know a place where there ain’t no sides
It’s right in the middle of the great divide
Why oh why, can’t we see eye to eye
Why of why, do we try to fight, the fight
Nobody wins
Words are like a loaded gun
Walls they just block out the sun
Somewhere between wrong and right
Is right in the middle of the great divide
Why oh why, can’t we see eye to eye
Why of why, do we try to fight, the fight
Nobody wins
We’re all lost and we’re all found
Hanging on as the world goes round
Dreaming dreams in the dead of night
We all wake up to the great divide
Why oh why, can’t we see eye to eye
Why of why, do we try to fight, the fight
Nobody wins
We’re not so different you and I
Let’s meet in the middle of the great divide.
