STILL
When the night is drawing to a close
And the morning light in the sky takes hold
I see the moon
Against the blue
Rest lightly
When the sun is shining clear and bright
And the evening sky is a fiery sight
I like to let
The moment’s glow
Wash over me
Oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
Oh such beauty to be seen
When you’re standing still
When the birds are singing in the trees
And they’re building homes among the leaves
I like to watch
Blessed by the breeze
It soothes me
When the blades of grass are growing strong and green
And the fields stretch wide and far afield
This is where I stand
Allow myself to breathe
Deeply
Oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
Oh such beauty to be seen
When you’re standing still
Oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
Oh such beauty to be seen
Even on the days when the frost takes a bite
Even when it’s a cold dark wintry night
Even when it’s damp, dull
No hope inside
I stand still
Oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
Oh such beauty to be seen
When you’re standing still
Oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
Oh such beauty to be seen
When you’re standing still

LIVE AGAIN
Can anybody hear me calling?
Will anyone see that I’m falling?
Is there somebody who cares to listen?
To anything I dare to mention?
Oh, but I know
It isn’t all about me
Could it be that there’s another like me?
Someone who understands what I feel?
Will they see that I am lost and lonely?
Just trying to figure out my story?
Oh, but I know
Life isn’t all about me
All I want is to be free
From the battles of my mind
They keep my thoughts locked-up inside
But I don’t know how to be
Anyone but who I’ve been
I want to start to live again
Can someone hear the screams inside me?
I’m crying though my face looks smiley
Might say I understand love’s meaning
But I’ve never really known its feeling
Oh, but I know
That it’s not all about me
Will you forgive me of my words that hurt you?
Believe me how I never meant to
I speak yet it’s not me that’s talking
It’s just a fragment of my mind unloading
How I know, I know, I know
That it aint all about me
Cause all I want is to be free
From the chains that bind my mind
They keep anxieties inside
But I don’t know how to be
Anyone but who I’ve been
I want to start to live again
And I wanna turn my world around
But I need my feet firm on the ground
Cause I think I am ready to start to change, yes I am
But first I need some help to find my way
All I want is to be free
From the battles of my mind
They keep my thoughts locked-up inside
But I don’t know how to be, yeah
Anyone but who I’ve been
I wanna start to live again
Can anybody hear me calling?
I want someone to help me now I’m falling
Is there somebody who cares to listen?
To anything I dare to mention?
Won’t somebody hear me calling?
I want someone to catch me now I’m falling
I’m laughing but inside I’m dying
I think I’m ready now to live again
Won’t you please come and help me now to live again?
Come on and hold my hand and tell me how to live again
Won’t you show me how, I’m ready now to live again
I wanna start to live again

TROUBLED
I'm feeling quite troubled
It's my new past time
I spend my nights wondering
If all will be right
I'm seeming quite troubled
My head's in a daze
But I think I'm on the right track
So why am I so afraid?
When the morning sun wakes me
I get on with my day
But my head hits my pillow
And my thoughts run away
So if I'm seeming quite troubled
It's cause my heart's on the line
And I need to get my nights back
So I can sleep fine
When the night time takes me
I'm no longer insane
It tugs and it pulls me
Til the dark hours fade
So if I'm seeming quite troubled
It's cause my heart's on the line
And I need to get my nights back
So I can sleep fine
Yes, I need to get my nights back
So I can sleep fine

On Your Long Way Home

ON YOUR LONG WAY HOME
The things you want
May not come easy, hmm
You have to work damn hard
Can send you outta your mind,
So don’t give up
When the day aint breezing
Try to remember
It’s gotta get better some time
You know that it’s the brave that struggle
Hmm, you might need to hustle
And in the rubble
I’ll pull you up
Keep on on the high road
Even when you’ve gotta heavy load
Don’t go driftin’ off the right path
That has nowhere to go
All you gotta do is count me in
And remember if you need a friend
I’ll always be right there
On your long way home
When doubt comes round
It knows where to find you, hmm
It creeps on in
‘Fore long it’s eating into your mind
So find your strength,
Don’t you let doubt blind you
You can guide it on out the door
And carry on with your life
To live a dream takes some tussle
Hmm, you might need to hussle
But in the rubble
I’ll pull you out
Keep on on the high road
Even when you’ve gotta heavy load
Don’t go driftin’ off the right path
That has nowhere to go
All you gotta to do is count me in
And remember if you need a friend
I’ll always be right there
On your long way home
When the world’s a darker place
You’re crumbling
Your hopes have slumped to the depths of your soul,
Keep on looking up
You’ll see the clouds aint tumbling
From this you’ll learn
There’s space to grow
Space to grow
Keep on on the high road
Even when you’ve gotta heavy load
Don’t go driftin’ off the right path
That has nowhere to go
All you gotta do is count me in
And remember if you need a friend
I’ll always be right there
On your long way home
Keep on on the high road
Even when you’ve gotta heavy load
Don’t go driftin’ off the right path
That has nowhere to go
All you gotta to do is count me in
And remember if you need a friend
I’ll always be right there
On your long way home
On your long way home
On your long way home
On your long way home

HEY THERE, WHERE ARE YOU GOING
Hey there
Where are you going?
And where have you come from?
I can see
In your eyes
This aint a place that sings your song
You’ve been searching,
Always searching,
But what can’t you find?
You know the place
That you look for
Is right here, just look inside
Brother,
Where are you going?
Is it a place where peace can be found?
You’re not rested
Always frazzled
And your head is hanging down
You keep walking
Always walking
But your feet don’t hit the ground
Don’t you know
That your struggles
Follow you from town to town?
Sister,
Where are you going?
Which is the path you’ll take today?
There’s no solace
In that bottle
It can’t take your tears away
You keep moving,
You're always moving
Yet no matter the distance you roam
I can tell you
What you’re needing
Is a place where roots can grow
Try to seek
A love that’s true
It’s the love
That you feel for you
On your travels
Won't you mend your heart
Cause it's the love we have for ourselves
Where we must start
Hey there
Where are you going?
You know this road is not the way
You can tell
Where it’s leading
If you hear these words I say
You’ve been lying
You're always lying
And now it’s time for truth
You deserve it
Really need it
So the pain can come on through
So try to seek
A love so true
It’s the love
You should feel for you
On your travels
Won't you mend your heart
Cause it's the love you have for yourself
Where you must start
Hey there, where are you going?
Don't you know now
Hey there, where are you going?
Won't you please tell me
Hey there, where are you going?
Hmm, hmm

LONG ROAD TRAVELLED
It's been a long road travelled
I didn't know which way to turn
I've had many life lessons
But there's much still to learn
Who is this person
That I've grown to be?
What I know is it feels right to be
The reflection I see
My heart and mind have been in pieces
I didn't know how to begin
And now I'm coming through the tunnel
The pain was worth it in the end
It's been a long road travelled
And I've been severely burned
My scars'll stay with me
They are proof of what I've learned
I don't know what's to come now
It's a good place to be
I won't lose sight of the lesson
What I've learned about me
My heart and mind have been in pieces
I didn't know how to begin
And now I'm coming through the tunnel
The pain was worth it in the end
I don't know what's to come now
It's a good place to be
I won't lose sight of the lessons
What I've learned about me
My heart and mind have been in pieces
I didn't know how to begin
And now I'm coming through the tunnel
The pain was worth it in the end
Pain was worth it in the end
My heart and mind have been in pieces
I didn't know how to begin
Change never feels good
Until you reach the bitter end
