Don't Know (What We'd Find) 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Centuries pass by Men still can’t figure out why History repeats itself While we refuse to listen to ourselves People have tried to show A better way to go But we always shoot them down Because we couldn’t understand what could be found What could be found And I’m wondering what we’d see If we chose a different way to be I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find But I know it’s got to be better, than this We say we wanna change But we’re still playing that misery game Hate and fear and all of the above Just anything to hide our love Put it off till tomorrow To drink our last cup or sorrow It seems we like that bitter taste And we wouldn’t wanna let any go to waste, oh to waste And I’m wondering what we’d feel If we chose to make love real I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find But I know it’s got to be better than this Dunno what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find But I know it’s got to be better than this I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find But I know it’s got to be better than this Dunno what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find I don’t know what we’d find

Wanna Let It Free 04:18
lyrics

I’m putting rocks in my hourglass I’m trying to slow down the time Cos there’s too many things, that I’ve got to do in this life I got so many things on my mind And inspiration can seem As much a curse, as it is a gift From inside of me Like a bird trying to be free And I wanna let it free I wanna it free Yeah, I wanna let it free I’m wondering why did you come to me Why you whisper in my ear? I don’t want you to leave But I need you to tell me what you want me to say my dear And inspiration can seem As much a curse, as it is a gift From inside of me Like a bird trying to be free And I wanna let it free I wanna it free I wanna let it free Yeah, I wanna let it free I’m creating love through an open heart I feel it pumping through my veins And I’m walking on by, drawing pictures in the sand Make sure nothing is the same And inspiration can be As much a joy, as it is a gift From inside of me Like a bird flying away freely And I’m watching it go free I’m watching it go free I’m watching it go free Yeah, I’m watching it go free Ohhhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhh

Ebb And Flow 06:32
lyrics

I had it… I had it just a moment ago But now it’s faded right from my hands Like when the sun, hits the snow I felt it… I felt it as sure as the sun in the sky But know the only thing rising up in me Are these questions, asking me why Sometimes it all seems so easy This lifetime that I came here to live But when tomorrow turns into today I’ll never ever know what this life is gunna bring me.. hmmmm I told it… I told it right from the bottom of my heart But now every time that I open my mouth Strings of words, just fallen apart I knew it… it knew it like a secret inside my soul But now it’s disappeared out of site And I’m wondering, through this cold night Sometimes it all seems so easy This lifetime that I came here to live But when tomorrow turns into today I’ll never ever know what this life is gunna bring me And sometimes it all seems so easy This lifetime that I came here to live But when tomorrow turns into today I’ll never ever know what this life is gunna bring me.. hmmmm And when it comes back again I’m gonna let it right on, right on in But when it wants to walk away I’ll just have to begin, I’ll just have to begin To ebb, and flow I just got to ebb and flow I just got to ebb and flow I just got to…… I just got to ebb and flow Just got to ebb and flow I just got to ebb and flow….. I’ve just got to… Mmm mmm Ebb and Flow (repeat until fade out)

Let Me Be 05:22
lyrics

Far away from home I try To fill myself with everything I find Everything is new to me Leaving everything I knew behind But people they still seem the same Through different lives, they’re playing the same game But seeing things with new found truth brings me clarity, yea clarity So let me be… Don’t mind me.. Yeah let me be… Or come join me Wondering through cobbled streets Listening to, the rhythm of my mind Gazing through the shop windows Leaving everything I knew behind But feelings they still seem the same Through different times, they’re keeping the same name But feeling things with new found truth brings me clarity, yea clarity So let me be… Don’t mind me.. Yeah let me be… Or come join me Ohh and let me be… Don’t mind me.. Yeah let me be… Or come join me And it’s a new feeling When you don’t have to change anything out there And it’s a good feeling When you don’t have to be anybody else out there Just got to be myself Just got to be myself Just got to be myself Just got to be myself Just got to be myself Just got to be myself Just got to be myself……. Let me be… Don’t mind me.. Yeah let me be… Or come join…….. me

I want to be a black cat With nine lives and my tail up high Sleep by day walk by night I live carefree in a simple life But I’m human Yeah I’ve got things to do, places to go And sometimes Feels like all that I can do Is dream dream dream dream dream Mmmmm mmmm mmm I want to be an eagle Flying high with my wings out wide Drift freely independent I’m self-assured with nothing to hide But I’m human My feet locked to the ground, roaming around And sometimes Feels like all that I can do Is dream dream dream dream dream Dream dream dream dream Ba ba da ba da ba da da daaaa Ba ba da ba da ba da baaaa Ba ba da ba da ba da da daaaa Ba ba da ba da ba da baaaa So I’m gonna dream on, dream on, dream on So I’m gonna dream on, dream on, dream on So I’m gonna dream on, dream on, dream on So I’m gonna dream on, dream on, dream on So I’m gonna dream on, dream on, dream on So I’m gonna dream on, dream on, dream on Mmmm mmmm mmm mmm mmmm mmmmm Mmmm mmmm mmm mmm mmmm mmmmm

Gravity 03:33
lyrics

I know the unknown Like the back of my hand But it’s hard to see With eyes full of sand And I’m telling the truth Through the tip of my tongue But sometimes I slip Can’t fix what’s been done Title waves, they take me away, take me away Then gravity brings me back home, brings me back home Red, green and blue Remind me of home But when they turn grey They turn into stone And etched in my heart Hides a secret for me But sometimes it’s locked And I can’t find the key Title waves, they take me away, take me away Then gravity brings me back home, brings me back home So anchor me down And don’t let move Cos from here I can see There’s nothing to do And wanting more problems and Wanting to please them is all just a game That I don’t wanna play no more I’m listening now Trying to learn from my past By looking inside I hope to learn fast Nothing’s as clear As seeing the truth So I’m climbing up high For a better view And title waves, they’re passing me by, passing me by Cos gravity, is holding me down, is holding me down
