BELIEVE AGAIN
So I climbed to the height of a mountain line
Is there a vision here
Woven to touch
And all to capture light?
Surely the stream of consciousness
Flows to the sea
Where drifting I found
That I can be
I’m really getting to know the empty space
Beneath the surface of common days
There I knelt at the foot of an open sky
Is it by faith, not time
The sun does climb
To light the path for us?
And I can embrace where I’m going
Tomorrow has already found me
I used to believe in a love watching over
I want to believe in that love yet again
I lost my touch to handle with kid gloves
In the rough game of push and shove
I lost sight
I used to believe in your love
To be believed in
Once more tonight
Will you speak to me fathers?
Grant me the words
That one day I’ll be called to speak
And finally I am here understanding
The clear and constant page
Despite the shroud of material ways
Where dreaming the sound
A new found freedom
I used to believe in a love watching over
I want to believe in that love yet again
If you lose your touch to handle with kid gloves
In the hard game of push and shove
Don’t lose sight
You can still receive the love
To be believed in
Once more tonight
Tonight
Surely this dream of consciousness
Flows to the sea
Where drifting I found
That I can be
I’m really getting to know the empty space
Beneath the surface of common days
Where dreaming the sound
A new found freedom
I used to believe in a love watching over
I want to believe in that love yet again
If it all comes down to push and shove
Remember to lift your heart above the fight
You can still receive the love
To be believed in
To turn wrong to right
Beyond all the pain and the strife
Ride the turning tide
Lift a strength deep inside
We can transform wrong to right
We can still receive the love
To be believed in
Once more tonight
THE GAME
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
The love we gave along the way
Through fleeting days and all that greys
It’s times like these as true love stays
I always knew through thick and thin
It’s here that I’d begin again
I’m standing here
At your door
With all my defenses down
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
The big picture we now engage
Our scenes here set on the stage terrestrial
Reversing the flow
Here to grow
We’re all rehearsing, you know
Come the final fade out
Come the final fade out
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
Through Fleeting days and all that greys
It’s times like these as true love stays
I always knew through thick and thin
It’s here that I’d begin again
I’m standing here
At your door
With all my defenses down
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
What we gave along the way
We all know the rules, the game
Us fools, still we play the same
As if our days remain
Our lives, the end will validate
It’s more to do than to say
The love we gave along the way
Along the way
STEP BEYOND
You told me so
If I don’t let go
I’d never know
The joy freedom brings
I told you so
As the grass will grow
Turn your hand
Back to the land
As the sun will shine
In the moon’s decline
There’s a truth to hear
So open wide
If your mind is still
There’s no bitter pill
When you reach
When you reach that hill
Beg, steal, rob, run, hide
Beg, steal, rob, run, hide
Beg, steal, no disguise
Take one step beyond
One step beyond
Take one step beyond
One step beyond
Why such resistance
To reach out from behind our walls?
Elevated pride leads to a fall
We settle for small, blind identity
Forgetting all that we truly are
Get up off that shelf
Make the bold, the brave leap outside yourself
Beyond… Beyond... Beyond
You told me so
If I don’t let go
I’d never know
The joy freedom brings
I told you so
As the grass will grow
Turn your hand
Back to the land
As the sun will shine
In the moon’s decline
There’s a truth to hear
So open wide
If your mind is still
There’s no bitter pill
When you reach
When you reach that hill
Beg, steal, rob, run, hide
Beg, steal, rob, run, hide
Beg, steal, no disguise
Take one step beyond
One step beyond
Take one step beyond
One step beyond
No disguise
Take one step beyond
One step beyond
Take one step beyond
One step beyond
Beyond… Beyond... Beyond...
TO ASCEND
Were you drifting
On a strange tide?
Collecting visions
From the other side?
Caught between day and night
You were stealing moments past hours of your life
And balancing on
The edge of a knife
Memories of once longer days
They keep on flooding back
The adventurous times when we traveled life’s road
Though we were often blind
But with a lot more heart
And for each other
Taking the time
On a wing and a prayer
A wounded bird in the hand
With the eyes of a child
Come to understand
I will open the book
Raise the pen
Let it reinvent
My life again
Take me from where I am
As a freed bird
Flies from the hand
To ascend, to ascend
Were you catching
The last train to nowhere?
Playing out scenes
Of dark desert days?
Put it behind you now
Call out those bleak shadows from your mind
And never again
Slip through the cracks
Memories of once longer days
They keep on flooding back
The adventurous times when we traveled life’s road
Though we were often blind
But with a lot more heart
And for each other
Taking the time
On a wing and a prayer
A wounded bird in the hand
With the eyes of a child
Come to understand
I will open the book
Raise the pen
Let it reinvent
My life again
Take me from where I am
As a freed bird
Flies from the hand0
To ascend, to ascend
On a wing and a prayer
A wounded bird in the hand
With the eyes of a child
Come to understand
I will open the book
Raise the pen
Let it reinvent
My life again
Take me from where I am
As a freed bird
Flies from the hand
IN A WORLD OF OUR OWN
What’s wrong with a new revolution?
Who’s playing God on any given day?
Why put yourself through so much pressure?
Here we go again
Where were you when I needed you?
I was caught up in a crazy whirlwind
Then I saw your face in the crowd
You were somebody else then,
somebody else then
Why must you always lie to me?
One big mistake we’re headed for heartbreake
You can whet your appetite anywhere
As long as you do your cooking at home
Right back where it began
Why can’t we be like we were then?
Living in a world of our own
Living In a world of our own
Living in a world of our own
Living In a world of our own
What’s right about a false evolution?
Must be lonely playing God all the while
‘Bout time you hail a taxi for that ego
You’re in a world all your own
In a a world all your own
Your bleeding heart case made the headlines
Tomorrow lining every waste bin
You had to go and reinvent the rainy day
I was left out in the cold then
Stuck out in the rain again
Why must you always lies to me?
I know, for sure you’re gonna reap what you sow
You can whet your appetite anywhere
As long as you do your cooking at home
Right back where it began
Why can’t we be like we were then?
Living in a world of our own
Living In a world of our own
Living in a world of our own
Living In a world of our own
In a world of our own
In a world of our own
In a world of our own
In a world of our, in a world of our own
In a world of our, in a world of our own
Living in a world of our own
Living in a world of our own
Living in a world of our own
Right back where it began
Why can’t we be like we were then?
Living in a world of our own
Living In a world of our own
Living in a world of our own
Living In a world of our own
In a world of our own
LIGHT OF THE AGES
A beacon is shining
‘Cross the cosmos, it’s guiding
Igniting the pathway for us
Through the winter of our lives
A faithful polestar arises
Within every heart
The courage to advance
Passed our plight at this stage is
The light of the ages
When troubles lay me low
As fierce winds blow
Turn my gaze beyond
To ride the inbound stream
There grace and mercy shine
And fear is a dream
Sorrow’s a dream
When darkness holds me down
And trials abound
Lift my gaze within
I’ll heed the primal sound
Exposing the grand scheme
I can see it’s a dream
Sorrow’s a dream
And a beacon is shining
‘Cross the cosmos, it’s guiding
Igniting the pathway for us
Through the winter of our lives
A faithful polestar arises
Within every heart
The courage to advance
Passed our plight at this stage is
The light of the ages
I will follow the all knowing
Ever glowing light
Through my soul’s long dark night
When darkness holds me down
And trials abound
Lift my gaze within
I’ll heed the primal sound
Exposing the grand scheme
I can see it’s a dream
And a beacon is shining
‘Cross the cosmos, it’s guiding
Igniting the pathway for us
Through the winter of our lives
A faithful polestar arises
Within every mind
The power to transcend
To perceive passed thought cages
The light of the ages
The light of the ages
I will follow
The light of the ages
Through my soul’s long dark night
The light of the ages
I will follow
The light of the ages
Through my soul’s long dark night
The light of the ages
I will follow
The light of the ages...
IT WAS ALL WE KNEW
Knowing too much where the river might end up
After the windy road of misadventure
Misadventure
Feeling the wasting ideas, evaporating
Alone, still together in mind and in spirit
Sweet we’re the fruits
Long were the summer days
It was all we knew
Sweet we’re the fruits
Long were the summer days
It was all we knew
Summer days
It was all we knew
Time to reflect
Better days to resolve
That is by no means
Favour or coincidence
Sweet were the fruits
Long were the summer days, summer days
It was all we knew
Sweet were the fruits
Long were the summer days, summer days
It was all we knew
Everything’s so easy
Didn’t have to ask, have to ask
Why we’re here
Have to ask why we’re here
Sweet were the fruits
Long were the summer days, summer days
It was all we knew
All we knew
All we knew
SUBWAY WALLS
Life road, metaphysical journey existential or any
way in between
Writings in our sacred halls
Mysteries unsolved
Like the ever changing tide
Versions of the truth rise and fall
Is there meaning in the stars
Or does graffiti on some subway wall
Hold the secrets to it all?
We fear it’s just too far
Past the safe and small identity
Of who we think we are
Is the answer in the stars?
One glimpse, way out
Of the ethereal
Electric revelation
Or just imagination
Venturing to find
The victory of game
It’s all a state of mind
Is there meaning in the stars
Or does graffiti on some subway wall
Hold the secrets to it all?
We fear it’s just too far
Past the safe and small identity
Of who we think we are
Is the answer in the stars?
If the answer’s in the stars
Then the writings in our sacred halls
Hold purpose after all
True calling in the stars
Beyond the safe the small identity
Of who we dream we are
An answer near, not far
Life meanings in the stars
Oh, wounded sparrow of my heart
Your time has come
So soon will you mend
All windows open to you now
Doubt falls away
Rise and transcend
Brave the battle that’s before you
Trance end
Brave the battle that’s before you
Trance end
Brave the battle that’s before you
Trance end
