DO YOU BELIEVE IN WHO YOU ARE
The flowers you press have already died
Like the wings that you pinned on those butterflies
When passion is lost so beauty goes too
Like the fall of an angel deserting you
And if you lived to be close to a century
Would you look back self satisfied
Or would it honestly compound your misery
Would you still celebrate your life
Do you believe in who you are
Whatever you feel is it just a brand new start
Do you believe in who you are
Whatever you need to help you play your part
The pictures you paint on a canvas bright
Like those tears you can’t hold back they never dry
Doubt you collected when life was so cruel
Like the scars you picked up in your youth…
Pre-chorus…Chorus…
When do you think you will make up your mind
Your silence is cold and you’re killing my time
Keeping me waiting just has to be wrong
Well I’ve had enough now I’m moving on…Chorus

AMAZE ME
Loving life at every turn
Becoming more adventurous
Sun is up we don’t look down
You drive away the darkest cloud
What’s in your heart won’t ever change
It will always be that way
What’s in your heart won’t ever change
Yes it will always be that way yay yay yeah…
You surely do amaze me when you’re near
You always catch me smiling cos you care
You surely do amaze me it’s so clear
Feeling that connection we both share
You surely do amaze me when you’re near
You always catch me smiling cos you care
You surely do amaze me it’s so clear
Mutual fascination we both share yeah yeah…
Your one word sums up my three
Like a synchronicity
Brighter days far as I see
After all why shouldn’t it be…Pre-chorus…Chorus

Living A Lie

LIVING A LIE
Senseless I’m feeling ignored
Restless and not appreciated
I know I took it all on board
Time I thought it through cos now I’m not so sure
You’re making mountains that are way to hard to climb
I wouldn’t make it if I tried
You’re making promises that reach too far from sight
Are you for real I can’t decide…
You’re living a lie you’re living a lie…
(You haven’t noticed it yet, you haven’t noticed it)
You’re living a lie you’re living a lie…
(You haven’t noticed it yet, you haven’t noticed it)
You’re living a lie you’re living a lie…
(You haven’t noticed it yet, you haven’t noticed it)
You’re living a lie you’re living a lie…
Save your breath or choose your words
Your testimony is not appreciated
What comes around is in reverse
Time to make a stand while I still have the
nerve…
Pre-chorus…Chorus…
Who makes up the rules while we’re stumbling along
Who picks up the pieces when they’re gone…
Who plays the fool and who most feels the loss
Who pays the price whatever the cost…Chorus

(DON’T) STARE INTO THE SUN
If you can’t live until tomorrow
What else is there left to do
Back yourself to try and start to live your life
Cos my money is on you… Pulling through…
I couldn’t leave it like you wanted
You’ll never be lost to any one…
Stare into the sun
It’s the only way to hide what you’ve become
How far did you run
Did you count each day reliving every one
Stare into the sun
Stare into the sun…
If you stop wishing for tomorrow
Tell me what I need to do
To make it all come right
And help you raise a smile
Cos I’m here to see it through… Just for you…
Pre-chorus… Chorus
What do you say we just keep rolling on
Playing it loose and keeping it light… Chorus

DEADMAN PASSING THRU’
I’ve been caught out by so many lies
You’d think that this would open my eyes
But I don’t like a troubled mind
And the way it looks is the reason why…
Feel like a deadman passing thru’
Like a deadman passing thru’
I’m a deadman passing thru’
So step aside
Or I’ll breathe my curse on a
Deadman passing thru’
Like a deadman passing thru’
I’m a deadman passing thru’
So step aside
Or I’ll breathe my curse on you
So step aside
Or I’ll breathe my curse on you…
Losing out on another day
You’d guess that drinking was to blame
I never wasted my time that way
For what it does won’t ease the pain…Chorus…
And the way it looks is the reason why
And the way it looks is the reason why
And the way it looks is the reason why
And the way it looks is the reason why…Chorus

WATCHING THE WORLD GOING BY
What gets me out of my bed each morning
When I would rather be dreaming
What drowns the sounds of peacefulness
And a perfect evening
What gets me out of my house so early
When I would rather be sleeping
What makes me think I’m missing out on something
I’d like to summon up a weekend
You could party at the beach all day
And still pray that it snows
Or you could jump in your car and drive
With a long long way to go
My reasons are clear
I’m watching the world going by
People please keep it real
I’m watching your world going by hi hi
My reasons are clear
I’m watching the world going by
I speak as I feel
While watching the world going by hi hi…
Where’s the pleasure in masquerading
I would rather be true to who I am
Time to celebrate the next stage of salvation
I’ve got the perfect plan
Do you want to hear how this story goes
Or would you rather be sleeping
What makes you think I’m missing out on something
Come round and see me this weekend…
Pre-chorus…Chorus…Bye…Bye…Bye

Anywhere But Here
02:47

ANYWHERE BUT HERE
She never looks comfortable
She folds her arms a certain way
And I love it that way
She holds back every smile
Until she’s certain that it’s safe
It’s always worth the wait
She always tries to take her time, to think things over
And I can never catch her eye…
If she could go anywhere
Where would she choose to be
Would it be anywhere
Anywhere but here
Would she tell anyone
Or simply disappear
Would she go anywhere but here
She’ll pause and look so thoughtful
Her head just tilted to one side
With so much on her mind
This beauty we behold
She won’t accept that it’s the case
No matter what you say…Pre-chorus…Chorus

The View From Here

THE VIEW FROM HERE
I thought a soul mate came along
But it wasn’t true and I was wrong
My head was spinning I was gone
You talked me down I should have known that
What’s oh so simple
Now just seems so profound
Please make all my decisions for me
Like should I still stick around
The view from up here
Just adds to my fear
The view from here is all I control
The view from up here
I could just disappear
The view from here is fall… fall…
So should I count my blessings
Or begrudge the ground you walk
Cos my head it won’t stop spinning
And there’s poison in your heart
Pre-chorus…Chorus…
Now I talk of my salvation
But only with a chosen few
The story of my life is mine alone to tell
The stage is set I feel renewed… renewed…
Pre-chorus… Chorus… (I choose to live some more)

Way To Heaven

WAY TO HEAVEN
Trippin’ over my feet like
It’s the first steps that I’ve taken
Trippin’ over my feet like it’s a new experience
Fallin’ out of line like
It’s the first time I’m mistaken
Fallin’ out of line like it has just come over me
Not saying that I grew up believing
Just think it’s the only way to heaven
Not looking to be a great achiever
Just think it’s the only way to heaven
Crawlin’ out from the ground like
It’s the fresh earth was my maker
Crawlin’ out of the ground like it’s a new experience
Hearin’ call out my name like
It’s the first stage of salvation
Hearin’ call my name was all I needed it to be...Chorus…
When was the first time you saw the world for how it is
And when was the last time you saw the world for how it truly is
Oh when was the best time you saw the world for how it is
Hold on to the last time you saw the world for how it truly is…… Chorus

Shine Your Light

SHINE YOUR LIGHT
Won’t hide away in the safest place I know
I shed my shame like an unfamiliar coat
Regret, lament I put it all aside
I use each breath to resurrect my life
Found a way, I’m in control
Shown the grace that I still hold
It’s not so far to go along this winding road
When it’s a path that feels like home
Shine a light, this is me…Forever roaming free
Shine a light, I believe…And now it's time to deal
Shine your light, now I see…To where this all will lead
Shine a light, this is me…
Shine a light, this is me…
Shine a light, this is me…
Shine a light, this is me, yeah
Shine a light, the light is me…
Shine a light…shine a light

If You See Me

IF YOU SEE ME
There was a mountain that was blocking my way…
I pushed against it and it just fell away
Next there was a river that I just couldn’t swim so I
Waited for sunset and I jumped right on in
All these decisions that are clouding my mind but I free them
No hesitation now and I’m doing A-okay…
If you’re travelling down the road tonight and you see…me
Don’t forget to let me know you’re alright it’ll heal…me
If you’re travelling down the road tonight and you see… me
Just send a smile as you’re passing on by let it reach…me… Uh-uh-oh…
Down through the forest can’t see wood for the trees
I asked for guidance and a light fell on me
Then came a demon who was guarding a door but he
Knew about man’s evil so he chose to ignore me…
He chose to ignore me…
If you’re travelling down the road tonight and you see…me
Don’t forget to let me know you’re alright it’ll heal…me
If you’re travelling down the road tonight and you see… me
Just send a smile as you’re passing on by let it reach… me… Uh-uh-oh…
