Here I Am

The river flows
My feet washed clean again
Letting go
Of the weight of what was said
We keep reaching
Wanting to believe
In something greater
Beyond the last reprieve
Open doors
Roads of sun baked dust
Wooden floors
Kissed by time and all who crossed
But those creaky boardwalks
Seem to sing in tune
To something greater
Than this moments bloom
And father time and mother nature will take their course
While the children drink deeply
From whatever well they choose as their source
Here I am
What was felt
Is so much more than what was said
Here I am
Moving forward
While retracing where we've been
What if there's more here
There could be more here
There's something more here
There's so much more here

Into Dreams
04:50
|

|
Eyes open wide
Deep into broad daylight
Try to recognize
What I need to set my heart right
And I hope there's still a way
Through the smoke and mirrors and
Endless mistakes
But it's hard to know when I'm still awake
As I keep falling
Into dreams
Into dreams
I keep breathing,
As I feel my memories blending
With what's real and believing
As I know my life is slipping
Into dreams
Into dreams
I fly
Through my notions of time and space
While everywhere I go
I find your face
We fly
Through our notions of time and space
While everywhere we go
We swim in the oceans of our fate
My patience wanes
As we keep running from all this pain
But there's no one left to blame
As we keep falling

Sugar Baby
04:43

So I saw you standing across the room
Didn't take to long to see a conversation bloom
Did all those little things to see a fire made
But darling that's when you made your first mistake
You seem to like what I've done and said
But it's pretty clear that I'm over your head
Sugar baby
Like the way you move
Sugar baby
Where could you take me to
And I don't have a clue
How to keep resisting you
And I just want to crawl deep into your arms, arms, arms
But darlin' that's when this could all just fall apart
You seem to like both my light and darkness
Getting hard to know what to bolster my heart with
Sugar baby
Like the way you move
Sugar baby
Where could you take me to
I don't know if I can put up a fight
Getting hard to know what is wrong from what's right
Sugar baby
Like the way you move
Sugar baby
Where could you take me to

For The Rest Of My Days
03:42
|

Well I fight this reluctance
To put this down
If I could know there's a difference
Might just turn this around
But I wake up some mornings
Trying to face the day
But that's not good enough reason
To turn it all away.
And I saw you smiling
You think it's all going to be replaced but baby
I'm gonna face this for the rest of my days
I'm gonna face this for the rest of my days
Well I just need a moment
To collect my thoughts
Only so many places
Where time can stop
But my mind keeps running
Heading on its way
Skipping like a heartbeat
Trying to float instead of break
But I caught you laughing
You think it's all gonna change but baby
I'm gonna fight this for the rest of my days
I'm gonna fight this for the rest of my days
You think it's done
But it's only begun
How far do we need to fall to see
How far we've come
This isn't just some easy ride to paradise
Struggle to keep our heads above the water
So you better find what keeps you swimming
And I saw you wondering
If it's all going to be exchanged but baby
I'm gonna fight this for the rest of my days
I'm gonna face this for the rest of my days
I'm gonna feel this for the rest of my days oooh
I'm gonna love this for the rest of my days

Coming Home
06:04
|

Simply said
I thought you were somewhere else
Lost in the wildness of my youth
In the stillness of a dreamer's spell
All those friendly faces
Of those who have kept my soul warm
Blend together
Offer shelter through life's storms
We built this ship
Set the sails
And all we need
Is only more of what we've always been
Coming home
Coming home
Life moves so quickly
These numbered endlessly
Becoming memories
As I try to slow down my mind
But through the darkness
There's a stillness
As I see your embers
Glowing through the night
So our lives flow on
Until our time is gone
When will we decide
That we're coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home hooome
Coming home

Fickle Paradise
05:32
|
|||
|
Head breaks clear
For a day
Stare around at all these perfect houses
Straight rows and gardens
Pretty pennies for all the waste
Every whim
Every desire at our finger tips
Just work hard for that smile
You might just get what your aching heart desires
Living in a
Fickle Paradise
It'll find a price for your every comfort
And there's so many left outside
But we don't do much more than close our eyes
Here we are in this dream
One we're born into
So we'll follow through, wave a burning branch at those we called our friends
And it makes me want to scream,
For justice, for the soul of life
Enthralled with a system
That leaves so many of us more dead inside than alive
But these bitter fruits we reap
Still taste sweet enough
For more, for more
And what we don't know
Doesn't seem to hurt us much
When we find it in every store
What's in store
Living in a fickle paradise
It'll take a hammer to your insecurities
And there's so much left outside
But we don't do much more than close our eyes
Living in a fickle paradise
It'll find a price for your every comfort
And there's so many left outside
But we don't do much more than
Close our eyes

Letting It Go
04:09
|

|
I'm trying to move forward
Any way that I can
And I want to love you
Everyday I want more
These games we keep playing
They ache in my bones
If I only knew
How to find what you stole
And the time, the time holds me tight
You say
Letting it go
Letting it go
And I need, I need a way through the night, you say it
Letting it go
Letting it go
All these things we said
Only mean what you do
If I only knew
How to break through
And the time, the time
Holds me tight
You say
Letting it go
Letting it go
And I need, I need
A way through the night
You say it
Letting it go
Letting it go
And our love our love's
Been on my mind
But I'm
Letting it go
Letting it go
Letting it go
Letting it go
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Letting it go
Letting it go

Shine Through The Dark
06:38
|
|||
|
Morning breaks
As I find what it takes
To let this all go
So I stayed
Watching as my pride washes away for you
Away for you
Seasons turn
As memories melt into what wasn't heard
I try on different coats
I'm told that they'll bring me in from the cold
None fit like yours
No none, fit like yours
We'll find a way to shine through the dark.
So show me who you are
From our first breath to our last
It's never too late to start
What are we waiting for
Time to shine through the dark
Time to shine through the dark
Ooooh (x9)
