LANTERN

  • In the dark of a broken heart, but the light is gone

    With a yearn to be there again

    It is always 'round the bend, it is always 'round the bend

    Your love is a lantern, your love is a light

    Your love is a lantern, your love is a light

    You've been down and you're ticking time

    And you've been drinking just to numb your mind

    You've been lying in your battle lines alone

    And you're behind on the debt you pay

    And you've been looking to the faith to save

    It is always 'round the bend, it is always 'round the bend

    Your love is a lantern, your love is a light

    Your love is a lantern, your love is a light

    Love is life

    Your love is a lantern, your love is a light

    Your love is a lantern, your love is a light

    Love is life

SO GOOD

  • You give a love, give a love so true

    It's a love that I never knew

    You make me feel so good

    I live a love, live a love with you

    You make me feel so good

    I can't believe, can't believe your love

    Could it be that I receive your love

    You make me feel so good

    You're so good, you're so good

    I wanna take your hand and walk this land and tell it to the world

    I'll never understand the way that you can always make it real

    You make me feel so good

    You make me feel so good

    You make me feel so good

INTO THE HEART - 1

  • We never learn, we never love

    We never care, we never share

    We always seem to fall apart, we never look into the heart

    We never know, we never grow, we never seed, we never sow

    But in the end we will depart, we never see into the heart

    You break me down to save me, you bare my soul

    You shine your light to blind me, then make me whole

    We never dream it doesn't seem

    We never will a way to build

    Do we believe in who we are, we never look into the heart

    We never laugh, we never cry, we only hang as years go by

    How did we let it go so far

    We never looked into the heart

    You break me down to save me, you hold my soul

    You shine your light to blind me so I can glow

    You shake the ground to move me and help me down

    You show me what is in the heart

    We live to learn, we live to love

    We need to look into the heart

    We live to care, we live to share

    we need to be what's in the heart

SPECIAL KIND OF LOVE
INTO THE HEART - 2

  • It's a special kind of love

    This time is a big surprise

    This time we got open eyes

    This time will be something new

    If only because of you

    This time we begin to smile

    This time maybe stay a while

    This time we'll get back into

    And only because of you

    It's a special kind of love

    Even if we never say goodbye

    We will always feel this way inside

    This time is a magic place

    This time for the human race

    This time it's a well to do

    It's only because of you

    It's a special kind of love

    It's a special kind of love

    Wanna share the moments we give to you

    The revelations of love and truth

    It's a special kind of love

    It's a special kind of love

    It's a special kind of love...

GEMINI

  • Gemini, Gemini just close your eyes and dream

    Gemini, don't deny the limit is the sky

    Whatever your delight

    I never knew a woman who could light up any room

    Sharing all her love with everyone

    Gemini you know I know that it is what you do

    Genuine, yet having fun

    Gemini, city life is not the way you choose

    So much there to do

    Gemini, beautify the little ones you teach

    And keep them in your reach

    I never knew a woman who would light up any room

    Giving out her love to anyone

    Gemini you know I know that it is what you do

    Genuinely you're the one

    Waking up the moments that will celebrate your life

    There isn't any mountain you can't climb

    Looking through the years

    At all the things that let you shine

    Never running out of time

    From above you fell in love

    And all the seasons were aligned

    And all your feelings came alive

    Gemini, Gemini just close your eyes and dream

    Gemini, can't deny the limit is the sky

    Whatever your delight

    I never knew a woman who could light up any room

    Sharing all her love with everyone

    Genuinely you're the one

FEEL YOUR LOVE

  • Jump back into reality
    And I'm up to my neck temptation dissin' me
    Try to live in a way I know is right
    But the evil forces tug me to the side
    I'm gonna lose it, am I gonna lose
    I'm gonna lose it, am I gonna lose it

    I wanna see you
    I wanna feel your love
    I wanna reach you
    I wanna know you
    I wanna feel your love

    Look back at words that I have said
    And I've done some harm and I know that hearts have bled
    Gotta face confusion constantly
    And the battle rages to take over me
    I ain't gonna lose it, never gonna lose it
    I ain't gonna lose it, never gonna lose it

    I wanna see you
    I wanna feel your love
    I wanna reach you
    I wanna know you
    I wanna feel your love

BOY ON THE RUN

  • Somewhere out there is a boy

    And somewhere in there is a boy

    There is a boy on the run yeah, there is a boy on the run

    And somewhere out there is a voice

    And somewhere in there is a choice

    There is a boy on the run yeah, there is a boy on the run

    You can’t always see if there is pain on the face

    You gotta go deeper to reveal the place

    Too easy to hide the way you really feel

    Too easy to be on the run, too easy to be on the run

    Somewhere out there is a war

    And someone in there is keeping score

    There is a boy on the run yeah

    There is a boy on the run

    Somewhere out there hurts a child

    And something in them makes them wild

    There is a boy on the run yeah, there is a boy on the run

    You can’t always see if there is pain on the face

    You gotta go deeper to reveal the place

    Too easy to hide the way you really feel

    Too easy to be on the run, too easy to be on the run

    No one to learn from no one to love

    No one to guide them show them the love

    They are our world they are tomorrow

    And we can’t let this happen any more

    And we can’t let them hurt like this no more

    We gotta love em while we can

    You can’t always see if there is pain on the face

    You gotta go deeper to reveal the place

    Too easy to hide the way you really feel

    Too easy to be on the run.

BIRTHDAY PARTY
TO FOLLOW YOU

  • I don't know why I reminisce about you sitting by the fireside

    You speak to me a ton of understanding, something I cannot deny

    I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky

    I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true

    My younger days a flight and interception, nothing short of insecurity

    But then I find a path of sweet surroundings trying to keep satisfied

    I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky

    I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true

    How long it's been over the years I wonder where has all the wisdom fallen

    So on we go into the blue and yonder, far enough for me to know

    I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky

    I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true

    Sometimes I'm lost without a place to go, when will I find my way around

    Often I hide behind a burning flame in fear of something I don't know

    I want to follow you into the world and blue beyond the wide and open sky

    I've come to realize the glisten in your eyes is true

DON'T SAY IT'S OVER

  • I'm standing beside you on a great day, in a cool way

    I'm there to remind you it's your time make it good time

    You've got a life, maybe it's time you fill it with dreams

    You're not the only lonely heart...you fool

    Don't say it's over 'til it's over, don't say you're through until it's over

    Don't say goodbye until it's over, don't ever say, don't ever say it's over

    I'm talking about you, saying let go let it happen

    I know you can hear me, you can hear me, ya hear me

    You know the way, maybe it's time you realize your dream

    You're not the only lonely heart...you fool

    Don't say it's over 'til it's over, don't say you're through until it's over

    Don't say goodbye until it's over, don't ever say, don't ever say it's over

    So many times you'd say...I don't know where to go

    I can't force you into making up your mind

    Hold your head up high, breathe another sigh, happy knowing why

    I'm gonna believe in you

    Don't say it's over 'til it's over, don't say you're through until it's over

    Don't say goodbye until it's over, don't ever say, don't ever say it's over

    Don't say it's over

TIME ACCELERATES

  • Sometimes when your luck is down

    And you've got nothing left to lose

    White lines they been calling you

    So will you change that avenue

    As time accelerates

    And you got nine lives you can celebrate

    But you got no way to intoxicate away

    Time accelerates

    One day when you're gettin' high

    And you got nothing well defined

    Realize that the years go by

    Because your world is so confined

    Locked out in a circumstance you can hardly understand

    Two steps and you're on your way

    But then you turn around again

    Your time accelerates

    And you can only hope to liberate

    But you got no way you can concentrate today

    Time accelerates

    Someday when your life is good

    And you've got two paths you can choose

    Will you act in a pompous way

    Or will you fill with gratitude

    Sometimes when your luck is right

    And you've got everything to lose

    White lies may be haunting you

    So will you change your attitude

    As time accelerates

    With only one life you can orchestrate

    And maybe you can start to validate with love

    Time accelerates

    Time accelerates...

  • Is enough, enough when you're growing up

    Mission in your eye, let it be a modern day surprise

    You always recognize the way you need to be alive

    It's gonna be this time, you'll have a birthday party

    Invite your bestie friends, enjoy a little wine

    You're gonna be alright, and have a birthday party

    And let the worry slip on by

    You, you are the world to you

    It's gonna be this time, you'll have a birthday party

    Invite your bestie friends, enjoy a little wine

    You're gonna be alright, and have a birthday party

    And let the worry slip on by

    For the love and peace of mind within your life

    There is a moment when you realize

    The dream and destination have aligned

    It's gonna be this time, you'll have a birthday party

    Invite your bestie friends, enjoy a little wine

    You're gonna be alright, and have a birthday party

    And let the worry slip on by

WHAT YOU SAY

  • What you say can save or break a heart...what can you say, what do you say

    What you say can mend or rip apart

    What you say has power it can hurt or it can heal

    What you say can ratify, but never be repealed

    What you say, what you say

    What did you say, what will you say...what you say will pacify or mar

    What you say can burn a bridge or throw you into ire

    What you say can be the truth or make you out a liar

    What you say can animate or maybe pulverize

    What you say can disagree or open up your eyes

    What you say, what you say, what you say

    Angels singing from on high, serpents down below, 40 days & 40 nights were not that long ago

    With the hate and anger that is brewing in your yard, what you say is tearing us apart

    What you say

    What you say is what you mean and it's what people hear

    What you say is vigilant and pulling at an ear

    What you say can build them up or make them disappear

    Soon be out of time

    Shadows…shadows

    Dancing in the light

    Dancing in the light

    Dancing in the light

TRYING TO GET BY

  • You've been working through the night

    You've been trying to get right

    You've been using all your might

    And you've been trying to get by

    You've been running low on time

    Becaue you live a paradigm

    Days have gone beyond your prime

    But you've been trying to get by

    And you're gonna get a brand new job

    And you wanna try do some good

    And you wanna do the things you learned

    Have you ever been lit inside

    Get a lttle human pride

    So you can make it you keep on trying

    Your intentions over flow

    You don't wanna be furloughed

    You've got every right to know

    And you've been trying to get by

    And you know you wanna break that tie

    And you wanna be the one who decides

    When you get to step aside

    Did you ever get lit inside

    With a little bit of human pride

    And you will make it if you keep on trying

    You let a force into your life

    Buried in it will provide

    You can sense you are aligned

    So you keep trying

    Trying to get by

    Trying to get by

    Trying to get by

NOTHING TO ME

  • You can put me out, you can shout me out, means nothing to me

    You can rip my air, you can take my car, means nothing to me

    You might as well take everything I don't really need, nothing to me

    You can't hurt my happy you don't have the strength

    I don't need nobody thinking they own me

    You can toot your horn 'til you be reborn, means nothing to me

    You can have your fortune, you can settle scores, ain't nothing to me

    Even if you wanna be the master of the storm nothing to me, nothing to me

    When your law is just complaining, I don't want to know

    And you've got an explanation where you never go

    Nothing to me, nothing to me

    If you're in a fire and you live that way, means nothing to me

    If you come undone over everything, ain't nothing to me

    If you're always spinning time running away, ain't nothing to me

    Nothing to me

WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG

  • Say you'll give your heart now baby, say you'll give your soul

    You wanna live your life now baby and never be alone

    The dream comes easy when you are young

    Love is just a feeling when you are young

    I remember someone saying when you are young

    The best is always yet to come when you are young

    Do you ever wonder baby, will you ever know

    Needing things to make you happy will never let you grow

    Say you'll give your heart now baby, say you'll give your soul

    Will you work on love now baby and turn it into gold

    The dream comes easy when you are young

    Love is just a feeling when you are young

    I remember someone saying when you are young

    The best is always yet to come when you are young

    It's only you and I who make it true

    It happens all the time, it's nothing new

    The dream comes easy when you are young

    Love is just a feeling when you are young

    I remember someone saying when you are young

    The best is always yet to come when you are young

    When you are young
