Beginnings

In the beginning
We were stronger than today
Now you’re beginning
To hear me when I say-
That I don’t know why
And I don’t know when
Something changed
And then we played into their hands
Now it’s time for the future
So we wait for a sign…
In the beginning
We were strong enough to learn
Things are beginning
To take a different turn
But I don’t know where
And I don’t know why
But I know that things seem clearer in my head
We can find new beginnings
If we wait for our time…
In the beginning
We were strong and they were brave
Now they’re beginning
To look the other way
We are living
New beginnings
We are living
New beginnings

A Place We Knew

That look on your face
I copy and paste
Onto another one
With wonder and charm
To hold in the palm of my hand
Just a memory
The day when we drew
A place that we knew
And all the colours met
They ran down the page
They dried and they faded away
Just a memory
I only remember the things
That really matter to me
And good things happen to me all the time…
I’m reminded of you, remembering me
Two names in a place we knew
We were leaving behind
I press for a space
To find and replace
Thoughts that are gathering
Into my mass
To hide at the back of my mind
Just a memory
I was leaving behind...
Just a memory
When feeling the heat
We try to delete
All of the time we had
These bridges we burn
Prevent us from turning around
I only remember the things
That really matter to me
And good things happen to me all the time…
I’m reminded of you, remembering me
Two names in a place we knew
We were leaving behind
Just a memory

Pick your spot
Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down
From the top of a mountain
Gentle soul
Now you’re in my hands
Now you’re in my hands
Till your mind starts to wonder…
If I could be forgiven
I could be forgotten
I could be the one who remembers your name
There could be a heaven
But it may be hidden
To those who have broken a heart
For the hope of a chance at tomorrow
It’s your time
When the river flows
And the cold wind blows
It will call with a whisper
I could be forgiven
(Try harder…)
I could be forgotten
(Try harder…)
I could be the one who remembers your name
(Try harder now…)
There could be a heaven
(Try harder…)
But it may be hidden
(Try harder now…)
To those who have broken a heart
In the hope of a path to tomorrow
They have stepped on my toes
And they’ve stolen from those who have borrowed
We can rise
If we stand in light
If we stand in light
But we hide in the shadows
Where we stop and we ponder…
If I could be forgiven
I could be forgotten
I could be the one who remembers your name
There could be a heaven
But it may be hidden
To those who have broken a heart
For the hope of a chance at tomorrow
I could be forgiven
(Try harder…)
But that wouldn’t happen
(Try harder now…)
With those who have broken a heart
In the hope of a path to tomorrow

This World Moves On

Took a ride in a hot air balloon
I flew straight up
I came back down
And I landed in a different place
This world moves on
“Can’t you see all the damage we’ve done?”
I heard her say
I must agree
Things were better in the golden age
This world moves on
I’m sick and tired of repeating myself
My words just fall upon deaf ears
These are the days of the unafraid
This world moves on
This world moves on

All of the Above:
I guess it’s time we begin
Taking chances again
I’ll meet you by the south side of the lake
But now I’m barely awake
On an island of clouds
Dreaming of the place that we both knew
Before we ran away with each other
I think it was summer
I’m standing under the light
As it shines on us all
So I can be forgiven for my sins
I took a hit to the chin
But I’ll fight till the end
Even if the world is moving on
And I am standing still
But I can handle it
I’ve worked hard for this
And I was born to prove them wrong
We’ve been travelling towards the Summerland
Preparing for another day
Now it’s over
I wish we were closer
Then we could have been wiser
So if you gave me a choice
Between freedom and love
I think I’d pick all of the above
All of the above
(All of the above)
All of the above
(All of the above)
All of the above
I think I’d pick all of the above
The Unsung Hero (Hidden Track):
Don’t you know-
You saved me that night?
Then you carried me home
Way back when-
Your name was unknown to me
And you gave me your life
Then again…
When someone believes in you
You may say that it’s only words
But has it occurred to you-
That you never get the credit you deserve?
Don’t you know-
My hero’s unsung?
Now I know-
You’ll save me again
If I put a foot wrong
When I’m lost-
You’ll sing out your song for me
Just to tell me you’re there
That’s because…
When someone’s inspired by you
It may seem like it’s all a blur
But I hope that you’re learning who you can trust
When flying with the birds
And has it occurred to you-
That you just don’t get the credit you deserve?
Now you’re on the tip of my tongue
But my hero’s still unsung
