Wonder

I never wondered
what it was like to fly
High like a bird
You took me under
Your wings are made of sky
Like I deserve
A little piece of heaven
Right here on earth
I never wondered
Until I met you
I never questioned
What it was like to hide
All of the time
Waking to thunder
And clouds in my eyes
And all of the time
The sun was shining
Right here on earth
I never wondered
Until I met you
Before you came along
No one seemed to care
Now I'm not afraid
To dream a future fair
I never wondered
what it was like
To love all of the time
You took me into
Your arms are made of sighs
And now I believe
There's a little piece of heaven
Right here on earth
I never wondered
Until I met you
I never dreamed
Until I met you

As I Am

Rise in the morning
With you by my side
There are no promises given
There are many fish in the sea
I rise in the morning
My shoes do not shine
I appear slightly dishevelled
You appear partly divine
I look to the sea
And I fall to my knees
Darlin' won't you please
Take me as I am
You rise in the morning
Your smile does shine
You appear entirely weightless
I appear pale by your side
I look to the sea
And I fall to my knees
Darlin' won't you please
Take me as I am
I look to the sea
And I fall to my knees
Darlin' won't you please
Take me as I am
(I will love you as you are)
Take me as I am
(I will love you as you are)

I Saw A Picture
04:57

In our world
In our time
Where the change is rushing
We need to hold on
In my world
In my time
There is just one person
I need to hold on
I've found my one
Never need another one
And I saw a picture
A picture with faded grey
An old reminder of yesterday
and I saw a picture
Of you and I holding hands
Finally held by tiny hands
In our world
In our time
There is free expression
change is going on
In our world
In out time
There is just one standard
Love is going on
I can see it now
We'll survive somehow
And I saw a picture
A picture with faded grey
An old reminder of yesterday
and I saw a picture
Of you and I holding hands
Finally held by tiny hands
Our time has begun
I'll never need another one

The Words
03:30

I’m not worried about
The things I do not know
I’m just thinking about you now
I’m not worried about
The times that are to come
I know love will show us how
Chorus:
And I remember the days
When we were falling
I remember the words
I said “I love you”
And I remember the days
When we were falling
I remember the words
I said “I love you, I need you, I feel you”
I’m not worried about
The things we’ve left undone
I know what I’m doing now
I’m not worried about
The things we’ve left behind
I just think of what we’ll find
Chorus
I’m not worried about
The things I’ve left behind
When I see you I rewind
Chorus

Time
03:10

When I was a little boy
Playing by the sea
I stood before my castle
Right in front of me
The tide was coming in
My mother tried to tell me
It wouldn't last forever
Time is what befell me
As it does to everyone
Time keeps ticking away
When I was a younger man
I girl came to see
I gave to her a promise
That meant the world to me
That's why I was shattered
When she broke my heart
In time I did recover
Time began to heal me
As it does for everyone
Time keeps ticking away
Time is a magic
At times it moves so slow
If you try to hold it
the faster it will go
time's full of moments
They're all we know
When I held my little boy
And he looked up at me
I knew it was a moment
Time had ceased to be
As it does for everyone
Time is here to stay
As it does for everyone
Time keeps ticking away

Shed My Skin

Shed My Skin
Sitting all alone
In a room somewhere
And you're not sure
Of your name
Playing a guitar
In a room somewhere
Else is part
Of your aim
You travel far
for a change of scene
still not sure
Of what you need
Take some time and
Learn how to breathe the air
All of the people
I have been
Have brought me to my knees
All the layers
I have found
I know it's time for me
To shed my skin
You see a little kid
In a room somewhere
And you are sure
of his name
He lives for the day
When his dad will care
And he's not
Only to blame
You tell him son
Yes it feels real bad
It's ok when you feel
This sad
He's in your arms
And he is glad
that you came
Find a little room
In a town somewhere
Where nothing else
Is the same
Think of how soon
You can get somewhere
And all you have
To gain
And you don't forget
All the friends
You've made
When you change
Your life and rearrange
Take from the past
All the things
You wouldn't change

Waiting For A Sign
03:27
|

|
Read between the lines
Watching for a sign
Staring at the stars
Waiting for a light to fall...
On... where to go
And how to find my way
Beyond these clouds before me
And I'm waiting
Waiting for a sign
Waiting for the time
The spaces in between
Leave the past behind
Waiting for someone to tell...
Me where to go
And how to find my way
Beyond these clouds before me
And I'm waiting, waiting
Waiting for a sign
I know where to go
And how to find my way
And who will be there beside me
And I'm waiting, waiting for a sign
you know it's true
I'm waiting, for a sign
you feel it too
I'm waiting, for a sign
it will be you

Rise Above
04:28

Calling all of the girls
Calling all around the world
Say that we won’t take it
Say the word is no
Stand strong for all of the girls
Calling all of the boys
Calling all around the world
Say that we forsake it
Force we will not show
‘Cause we love all of our girls
Calling around the world
Angels and little girls
We can rise above
And start another world
Watching all around the world
Watching for all of the girls
We will not forsake them
We stand for what we know
We will fight for the girls
Calling around the world
Angels and little girls
We can rise above
And start another world
Calling all of the girls
Calling all of the boys
Watching around the world
(We’re watching)
Angels and little girls
(We’re watching)
We can rise above
(We’re watching)
And start another world
(We stand together
You’re not alone
We will rise above)
