The Higher We Fly 01:09

The more that we love - the more that we’re fighting for The more we excuse, the wars we defuse, the less that we lie The more that we wait – the more we forgive not hate The more that we feel, the more that we trust, the higher we fly Lets us know, we know, we know, that we’re alive And we just might survive

We run and hide From a truth that’s full of lies, lies, lies Bury our face in shadows – it’s all that we can do just to survive When will we learn The more that we love - the more that we’re fighting for The more we excuse, the wars we defuse, the less that we lie The more that we wait – the more we forgive not hate The more that we feel, the more that we trust, the higher we fly Lets us know, yeah we know, yeah we know, that we’re alive We’re so scared to cry That all we do is deny, deny, deny Fractured not broken, still we block out that pain until we’re numb But when will we move on The more that we love - the more that we’re fighting for The more we excuse, the wars we defuse, the less that we lie The more that we wait – the more we forgive not hate The more that we feel, the more that we trust, the higher we fly Lets us know, yeah we know, yeah we know, that we’re alive The more that we love - the more that we’re fighting for The more we excuse, the battles refused we can hold our heads high The more we don’t hate – the more that we patiently wait The more that we feel, the more that we trust, and the mountains we climb Lets us know, yeah we know, yeah we know We know, we know, we know Lets us know, we know, we know That we’re alive - That we’re alive - That we’re alive Yeah we’re alive

Words 03:31
lyrics

Words, moments after they’re said – will live forever Tears, if they’ve been shed – can leave a river And hearts once love is dead – may never recover So why’d I go and open my mouth – say the words that I said It wasn’t in my heart – but stupid in my head Still I said so much unkind – I swear I must be out of my mind ‘Cause then I went and said it one more time Love such a beautiful word was barely spoken And time – time without you brings these emotions My words can lead to both of our hearts broken So tell me why’d I go and open my mouth – say the words that I said It wasn’t in my heart – stupid in my head But still I said so much unkind – I swear I must be deaf, dumb and blind ‘Cause I went and said it one more My words hurt me more in the end Now I’m losing my love – my best friend So why’d I have to go and open my mouth And say it again – my words hurt me more in the end I lost my true love, I lost my best friend So why’d I go and open my mouth – say the words that I said It wasn’t in my heart – but stupid in my head Still I said so much unkind – I swear I must be out of my mind Why’d I go and open my mouth – say the words that I said It wasn’t in my heart – but stupid in my head And still I said so much unkind – I swear I must be deaf, dumb and blind

Everybody – needs someone to love Every woman, child or man – needs to find another’s hand I need that hand to hold onto Forever’s not long enough it’s true The only hand I want to hold belongs to you Everybody – needs to find a loving touch A hand to heal, a hand to hold, A hand to sooth them when they’re old Too much love’s just not enough And I need that hand to hold onto Forever’s not long enough it’s true The only hand I want to hold belongs to you Everybody – needs someone just like you A beautiful face – so full of grace A heart that’s warm a safe, safe place – and you love me as much as I love you and I need that hand to hold onto Forever’s not long enough it’s true The only hand I want to hold belongs to you So take my hand – it belongs to you Hold my hand I need a hand to hold onto So take my hand – and say I do Hold my hand I need your hand to hold onto

Waiting So Long 03:20
lyrics

It was love – did you feel it It was everything at the wrong place and the wrong time Speak of time – It’s got a way of stealing Now I’m taking back – I’m taking back what’s mine So now I’m here for you I’ve been waiting so long – I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting so long - so long - so long I’ve been waiting for you We were young – In a crazy time In a mixed up world that stole what was yours and mine I want my money back, we’ll just start brand new So say you will – say you feel the same way too Cause now I’m here for you I’ve been waiting so long – I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting so long - so long - so long I’ve been waiting for you I’ve been waiting so long – I’ve been waiting so long I’ve been waiting so long - so long - so long I’ve been waiting for you Tortured, disregarded – lost and broken hearted We deserve our great reward Like “Alice” in the looking glass, a melted clock, a timeless past that slowed me down, down, but now… I’m done waiting for you I’ve been waiting so long – I’ve been waiting so long (for you) I’ve been waiting so long - so long - so long I’ve been waiting for you I’ve been waiting so long – I’ve been waiting so long (for you) I’ve been waiting so long - so long - so long I’ve been waiting for you

I don’t know why some laugh when some frown I don’t know why what goes up must come down Don’t know why it seems these questions keep coming to me But I don’t know why – I don’t know why Don’t know why the rose wears a thorn I don’t know why we must die if we’re born Don’t know why I see these mysteries all around me And who will tell me Why can’t life have a simple plan to make me a smarter man now When will I know the answers to who, what, when, why, where and how The only thing for sure I know Is I don’t know why – I don’t know why I don’t know why we breathe when we do I don’t know why she loves me too I don’t know why I see these mysteries all around me Who can tell me now Why can’t life have a simple plan to make me a smarter man now When will I know the answers to who, what, when, why, where and how The only thing for sure I know The only thing for sure I know is that I The only thing for sure I know is - I don’t know why Don’t know why – don’t know why – don’t know why Don’t know why – don’t know why (Why can’t life have a simple plan to make me a smarter man now) Don’t know why – don’t know why (When will I know the answers to who, what, when, why, where and how) The only thing for sure I know is that I’m sure – I don’t know why - I don’t know why

Midnight, unrequited love I fall – Ten-thousand days away Daylight, did I dream or did you call Your sweet voice – I hang on every word you say Was that really you – Oh, I don’t want to know Never Again – Oh Our love was ways too high – Oh – then crashed and burned too low Never again - Never again - Never again – No never again Cause who will catch me when I fall With our past torn in two pieces – shattered dreams I can recall Will I wake up some day and find you gone again - that you had never planned to stay I remember where we've been, how it began - and no Never again - Never again - Never again Surprise - so many years ago – You fell for someone new Did I ever have a chance at all – You broke my heart in two And was he good for you oh, did he make you small - never again no I can’t fall for you now – no matter how you crawl back to me No - Never again, Never again Who will catch me when I fall With our past torn in two pieces – shattered dreams I can recall Will I wake up some day and find you gone again - that you had never planned to stay I remember where we've been how it began Swear you almost had me – I almost fell again and bought it all Hope I’m dreaming And it takes some gall if you thing you can crawl - think you can crawl back to me again ‘Cause who will catch me when I fall With our paths torn in two pieces – shattered dreams I can recall Will I wake up some day to find you gone again - that you had never planned to stay I remember where we've been – how it began and no Never again - Never again - Never again

Wherever You Go 04:04
lyrics

Take my hand - walk with me - I've been a better man for you Than there ever was for me - But that's OK Don't follow me too close. But hear the words I say I'm a hypocrite with some of it. But you're better of that way That's what I say Then even when I'm gone... Wherever you go I'll be Whenever you need someone like me No matter where you may go You're not alone Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief - In the long run my son You'll be a better man you'll see - At least better than me And even when I'm gone... Wherever you go I'll be - I'll be Whenever you need someone like me - you'll see No matter where you may go You're not alone And when the lightning strikes - you swear you're headed for a breakdown Thunder so loud you can't hear your voice in the crowd – you swear you're beat down Close your eyes stand tall - I'll catch you if you fall... Wherever you go I'll be Whenever you need someone like me - you'll see You'll always have me on your side - never have to wonder why You're never very far from home - you'll never have to stand alone I'll back up every word you lie - catch every tear that you may cry You'll never be alone Wherever you go I'll be - I'll be Whenever you need someone like me - you'll see No matter where you may go You're not alone

My life in the shadows of your mind – did you think of me from time to time All day and every night – you’re the only thing that’s on mine So tell me How’d we get here – so far and still so near You live in the shadow of my mind It’s the only place and time – You’re still mine Today’s a brand new day – when I woke up and I reached to touch your hair Oh to my surprise – you were next to me you’re really there – and you care How’d we get here – from so far and still so near You fill every moment of my time Now everywhere I find – You’re still mine – You’re still mine– You’re still mine– You’re still mine How’d we get here – from so far to still so near You’ve lit every shadow of my mind Now every day I find – You’re still mine How’d we get here - How’d we get here - How’d we get here So glad we’re here

Tick-Tock the station clock's on time I guess I didn't see the signs - I must be blind You didn't even tell me no I didn't know a ring would make you cry I guess I'm leaving on the wrong train And how we got off track, still I can't explain (and I never will) You must be headed South to run from all your fears But me, you see, I'm headed somewhere North of here I bought the ticket destination unknown You didn't even tell me no You just failed to show - now I guess I'm leaving on the wrong train And how we got off track, still I can't explain (I know I never will) You must be headed South to run from all your fears But me, you see, I'm headed somewhere North of here I guess I'm leaving on the wrong train How we got off track, still I can't explain But I'm going somewhere where the air is clear Somewhere not so near You see - Just me I'm headed somewhere North of here

Be Mine Tonight 03:37

Lately I’m wasting too much time Maybe I’ve given up on finding you Said goodbye to love, never thought I’d mind Now I find the pain could end it’s true, with you And maybe you’ve been hurt and hiding too Would you be mine tonight Could that make us alright No more wasting our time Tonight and forever I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine I’m surprised Never thought I’d find someone I’d want to trust who Doesn’t mind and understand I’m a broken man And I guess you’re fractured too So what would you say, maybe we run away, No chance that you’ll be mine? Should we run and hide or trust this time – Tell me Would you be mine tonight Could that make us alright No more wasting our time Tonight and forever I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine Maybe I wait in vain, if it’s all the same ‘til now I’ve been alone Never thought I’d find you but now So close and yet so far now here you are So would you just be mine tonight Could that make us alright No more wasting our time Tonight and forever I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine Will you be mine tonight Could that make us alright No more wasting our time Tonight and forever I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine

Dreams Come True 02:56

Tomorrow all our dreams come true We are the chosen – ‘cause we are the broken still We count the days and nights and moments ‘till We’ll be vindicated, appreciated, consecrated And then set free – So from where we’re standing we can see Tomorrow all our dreams come true I know why – we know they will Cause we have faith and we have truth That’s you why our dreams come true. There’s something higher than us all It looks over every wall - And it can see How we all treat each other My sister and my brother – How I treat you and you treat me But from where we’re standing, all that we can see Tomorrow all our dreams come true I know why – we know they will Cause we have faith and we have truth That’s you why and that’s you why. Tomorrow all our dreams come true I know why – we know they will Cause we have faith and we have truth That’s you why our dreams come true. Tomorrow all our dreams come true Tomorrow all our dreams come true ‘Cause we have faith and we have truth
