these old sins/ weigh me down/ as I push on through the gloom/ never giving up the ghost of hope for home and you
absolution’s/ what I crave/ yet not what I deserve/ my redemption out of reach/ til my banishment (punishment) is served
these old sins/ weigh me down/ as I push on through the gloom
But memories haunt my dreams, a penance I must observe, this unforgiven man, got what he deserved
Yes far, but not yet gone, though my way is set; an unforgiven man whose soul is not lost yet
It’s not, it’s not too late, to be redeemed they say, an unforgiven man, can still hope to find his way
Boots may crush the rock, movin' on where I am bidden, Love may crush a heart and leave a dry soul unforgiven
I'm not their kind, nor am I yours, walking through this life I'm livin'/ No I'm not blind, I'm just off course, walking with the unforgiven
Can’t go back so he’ll push on, with a heart just made of lead, some things can be forgiven but only by the dead.
his heart seems to beat in time, his breath ragged and tired, echoes the music of the landscape, in a midnight desert choir
don't matter how far you walk on hallowed ground, sometimes there's just no redemption to be found
like the sand that's catching at the back of my throat, your look on your face wont leave me alone
together we can steer it to a new horizon / shake loose from the shackles and be part of the rising
What’s within will soon come out/ all will be revealed, we’ll shine the light in every crack til nothing is concealed
don’t be disillusioned/ we must shine our beacons bright
What’s within will soon come out/ all will be revealed
Like a nearing subway train the gentle rumbles rise/ one voice joins another in the growing battle cries
Sometimes it seems like the world is spinning off course;
the good's goin' bad and the bad is just getting worse
calling us together in love's performance art
it's like anticipation of a change about to start
the simple spark of promise that we wont be apart
reflecting those around them lost in their own trials
each heart filled up with emptiness is feeling more fragile
but an outstretched hand can change all that in just a little while
'cause you're worth waitin' for, I know for sure
nothing's worth more than bridging the great divide, between hearts, joining sides
to let us know that everything we send out will return
grasping for a lifeline that seems just out of reach
so many pleas fall on deaf ears, silent tears still fall
Drowning out the shouting cancelling the hiss
listening to understand how we came to this
'Moments of connectness' is also on the list
and the precious gift of being heard just cannot be dismissed
I want to see the world through your eyes, though I may not like the view; I want to try to understand 'cause I haven't got a clue
I dont eat spinach, you dont eat Kale, I prefer beer and you prefer ale
and the sun breaks through the clouds and my smile chases my frown and life is looking up, cause Im ready to get down
but if I listen with my heart to the beating of the drum, I can find my own true ryhthm, I can find my own true fun
and beat by beat, I'll let the rhythm heal me and step by step, I'll follow where it leads me....
and inch by inch, I'll let the rhythm lead me, til step by step, I'm groovin like it's easy
searchin for direction, and yearning for connection; I will let them lead where the music calls
my lips just kinda tremble and they somehow make no sound/ But I'm not cool with givin up, I'm cool with Gettin down
got to do it, nothin' to it; come and join in, watch the world spin
Gettin' on, gettin' up, gettin' set to shake things up
Hearts entwined, souls enshrined, loving and true.. made for two
together we're a perfect balance, helping one another through each challenge
What you and I share now is like a dream come true ... made for two
the life i'm living now was Sent to spend with you,
Feels like my life just started fresh when i met you, made for two
and every night with you is like a dream come true
yeah, we make love with sweet affection, a beautiful reflection
like a slow dance after midnight, when I'm holding you tight
Yeah and I, find pieces of myself in your eyes/ reflected from your soul where theres no disguise
Yeah and we, ebb and flow together like the ocean, caught up in a dance of pure emotion
when you wake up on the shore where you've been tossed, and you cannot pick up right where you left off
and you wonder where you'll go when all the gates are open wide; and you wonder what you'll cherish as you're standing side by side
As we stay apart, we come together; and we open up our hearts behind closed doors;
Just Remember, we are stronger; we can weather any storm a little longer.....
As we stay apart, we’re getting closer/ When a nod or smile can say much more than words/ and we understand that we all stand together and the whispers of our hearts can still be heard
As we stay apart, we come together/ When a nod or smile can so much more than words/
As we stay apart, we come together; and we open up our hearts behind closed doors;
As we listen to our hearts beating, in the quiet of our aloneness, we learn that resting is not retreating/ separately we find togetherness
Feels like the earth has shifted and we’re not on solid ground/ feels like we've lost so much that can never again be found
No need to be afraid, just hold on tight to me/ tomorrow is a better day, just you wait and see
Feels like the earth has shifted and we’re not on solid ground/ But if you hold on to me, I’ll keep you safe and sound
Passed from heart to heart, bringing calm to chaos
if laughter can lift us/ let it be infectious; if peace can reach us/let it still (calm) the chaos
pass it on, to everyone; infecting hearts with hope and trust
Beyond the Mask (variation on behind the mask already submitted)
Step by step we’ll march together, standing firm in stormy weather, holding on to one another, sister, mother, father, brother....
We are all our brothers keepers, through the dark and through the deep
I'll carry you, when the night is dark and long, and you just can't go on; I'll carry you 'til dawn
I'll carry you, anytime you can't go on, when you have no strength to move, I'll be your 'carry on'
Life goes on, and I will hold my head up high and try to be the guy that you knew I could become
I'll bring light when dark nights come, when you feel you can't go on, I will carry you, I will carry you
I will be your solid ground and when strength just cant be found .. I will carry you…
I will be your solid ground and when strength cant be found .. I will carry you...
I will hold you in my heart; at the end or at the start.. I will carry you..
I will be here by your side; when you need, I'll be your guide and I will carry you.. I will carry you
I will be here when you call; by your side and through it all
carry you; just like you've carried me; lighter than air, weightless and free
like the breeze bears the leaf and in my heart, like a deep held belief
I’ll carry you like a song/(leaf) on a breeze; i’ll Carry you, I’ll be all that you need
and so, on we'll go; although it may be slow....
and when the time comes, I want you to know....
how can I show you, how much I owe you?
though tides ebb and flow/ I need you to know
Now I’ll hold your hand/now I understand
And now I’m a man/ I can understand
Now because of you / I have made it through
and every day since then you've taught me right from wrong/ you've shown me kindness isn't weakness, it's the thing that makes us strong
pressed my footprints in the sand and said son this is your homeland
and as I grew, I always knew, you wouldn't let me fall; and now the roles have been reversed, I'll b e there when you call
You don't want thanks, you don't seek glory; just a listening ear, to tell your story
There may be no sand in your shoes anymore/ but some part of you didn’t come home from the the war
Call me when sleep won't come, I'll sit with you in silemce; call me when you're coming undone, I'll hold you til it passes
when the night is long and sleep won't come and your blood feels like ice in your veins....
what do you see in that thousand yard stare? what makes you cry out in your sleep? is part of you still over there? Do you still pray to God your soul to keep?
the night may feel dark and lonely/ the road may be hard and long/ but my arms are warm and open and my shoulders are strong
Don't be afraid to lay down your load, rest awhile from the hard dusty road; offload your troubles when you just cant go on and I'll carry them awhile, we'll carry on
when your feet are sore from the hard road you've travelled, and your heart is weary and your mind is unravelled
When the pain of the world/ is too much to behold/ and we blind ourselves to the sight
when our stars start to rise/ will the glow hurts our eyes/ and we pine for the days without sight?
What is light without the shade?
Seems like a contradiction
A moment stolen from the void,
enjoyed, is an addiction
these moments lift us light as air/these moments that we cherish/reminding us amidst despair/that love and hope won't perish
But When the whisper of the breeze speaks louder than the tempest we’ll gather stolen moments to remind us we are all blessed
a flash of white the clouds give chase/ too fleeting to mention/
Stolen moments of endless grace/ offer us redemption
Shafts of light erase the night and gently ease the tension
Stolen moments of delight defy all comprehension
Strokes of light rewrite the night and gently ease the tension
Stolen moments of delight defy all comprehension
When we stand at the gate and we fear we’re too late to be sainted and painted with light
Do we circle the drain without loves refrain? Does despair try to swallow us whole?
As we trudge through the sludge of a world devoid of love and we fear for the fate of our souls
and we yearn for connection and love's resurrection and stolen moments of peace; stolen moments of peace
Minutes turn to hours and hours turn to days, counting down the number on our chain; but a moment has no limit, time stands still within it, only stolen moments will remain
with each beat we will try to wipe the tears dry and search for a reason to sing/ and count one by one the reasons to go on that stolen moments can bring
like a flower that pushes through cracks in the concrete/ ever reaching for light/ hope finds a way in the darkest of days/with stolen moments of delight
And beat by beat, we run on repeat, and search for meaning and rhyme, Bidden by night they come bringing light, these moments stolen from time
we will bend from the strain and the burden of shame and complain that we're stained by the mark
Time flies for those who love, and crawls for those who labor, and stops for those who lose it all and fall upon the Sabre
Count the minutes, hours chime, can’t hold back the hands of time
We shouldn’t have been there together, you’d think we’d committed a crime, skipping school to run through heather, and collect moments stolen from time
Something off I can’t explain /feels like I’m itching in my veins /too much fear and too much pain/fight for power in my brain
Days like this make my head spin, fells like I don’t fit my skin, can’t move forward can’t go back try hard to get on track
Something’s off I can’t explain, feels like I’m itching in my brain
Days like this just leave me cold, nothing to do and no-one to hold
So from this day forward, knowing what's important
I won't take for granted, each day God's counted
Now I count each blessing as I've learned my lesson
That the past is behind me/ and I’ll spend my tomorrows as if each ones borrowed
That the past is behind me
In a love (time) tug of war, cause life ya short
‘Cause only one thing is sure . Life is short
And while love will endure — life is short
There’s no knowing what’s in store... but life is short
Feel the beat of our hearts .. life is short
So much love left to show but life is short
Though I’ve loved you so long, but life is short
Then I’ll hold you some more .. cause life is short
Find joy in just living like we did as kids
Each moment a memory and each day a gift
Spend nights on the porch swing while you reminisce
hold you a little bit longer with each parting kiss
And save my last breath just to blow you a kiss
I’d use my last breath to blow you a kiss
now I value each day, let it bring what it may/
both the good and the bad, the happy and sad/
'cos it wont come back around
I can’t turn back the years/ I can’t uncry these tears/ so I’ll cherish the rest of the Sand I have left and maybe you can teach me how .....
Life threw me a curve ball/ showed me that I was so small/ now I cherish each day like it may be my last and give thanks for the love that’s I’ve found
walls built so tall and wide,
holding back time and tide,
I'd fulfil all the plans
I let slip through my hands
I'd keep my promise to you
but I wouldnt trade a single minute for a thousand more without you in it
I count each minute for the joy that is in it
It took me a long time to learn not to waste time
If we had a thousand days, I’d still want two thousand more/each one new and full of promise, like the waves upon the shore
Wet days drag on, waiting feels endless, first love is timeless, but life is too short
I know you know I love you but let me tell you anyway/ and I’m sorry for the days I didn’t when life got I the way
I still recal when I was three/ the time between birthdays felt like eternity
I wished I’d known how fast the sand slips through the hourglass / but I was young and thought that things I loved would never pass
Well I could dial a prayer,
Ask a wise old guru
Read the signs
I know what they’d find
Could hypnotise you
But you’d see it coming
I’m never going change your mind
You’re never gonna change my mind, but it’s so much fun watching you try
Well I’m never gonna change your mind, but I don’t mind as long as you’re free
Well I’m never gonna change your mind, ‘cause you see the world through different eyes
Well you’re never gonna change my mind, with words that hurt the people I love
Well I’m never gonna change your mind, but maybe baby we could talk about it?
You’re never going to change my mind/until your actions speak louder than your words
Never gonna change your mind, but I wish that I could hit rewind
I'm never gonna change your mind, it's set in stone like your heart
I'm never gonna change your mind, I like it just the way it is
I'm never gonna change your mind, so I am done changing your sheets
never gonna change your mind/ you made it up a long time ago/ but I wish that you could find/ some way to let the hurting go
You’re never gonna change my mind/ I fixed it fast then ripped the knobs off
I’m never gonna change your mind/ until you see the world through my eyes/
You’re never gonna change my mind/ Never going to shake my faith in you / no matter how you try/ I’ll still be holding on-
And though our time had gone, felt like I won/ ‘cause there ain’t one kiss
And though I watched you go, I know
we left it all behind, still I find
It happens to the best, you were the best/ and there ain’t one kiss
But love is never wrong, after so long/ there aint one kiss
Now that’s just history, for you and me/ but there ain’t one kiss....
wouldnt change a single minute, id jump right in it/ ain’t one kiss...
And if I could do over, wouldn’t change a single moment....
Though every season has its time, it wasn’t mine
But our love didn’t grow old/ didn’t grow cold/ ain’t one kiss....
Though we weren’t meant to be, I hope you see/ ain’t one kiss I’d wanna take back
Still we try love on ‘til best fit comes along
Freefallin thru that Texas evening
Freefallin through a Summers evening/ yeah we gave it all ...
A hunger that we just kept feeding
Hands, lips and bodies pleading
Hearts racing and hot blood leading
Hearts racing and bodies leadin
Couldn’t hold back and we had freedom
All in, yeah we were dealing
So much heat that we got burned/ but I wouldn’t change the lessons I learned /there’s ain’t one kiss I’d wanna take back
So much heat that we got burned girl/ but I wouldn’t change the lessons I learned girl/ there’s ain’t one kiss I’d wanna take back
Burned so bright that we left a mark girl/ no going back now we lost the spark girl
Like a star that burned so bright girl/we were left with the golden light girl
Or One night I’d wanna forget
And thats what I remember most / now that the bitterness has passed
ice Cream running down your fingers/ tears were running down my face
perfect days of love so long ago / they came in slow but left so fast
who took the shot I don’t recall, maybe a member of the staff
scotch tape carving through the sunshine/ from where I once tore it in half
in an instant I was back there/ years fell away inside my heart
a moment trapped in polaroid / and burned in to my heart
It was never about you; if i’d only known/you had no choice but leave the one you’d outgrown
Some things are so much clearer with hindsight/but I was hurting when i said cruel things that night/ If I'd known then how this would all play out, I'd have thanked you instead for giving me back my heart
Hey there stranger, it’s been a while/ you’ve changed your hair, but I’d know that smile!
Then i’d Be the luckiest man holding.... someone so rare
And I’d, be the luckiest man holding... someone so rare
Each day, ending with a night in your arms
And I know that life will bever be the same
I’ll try .. to be whatever you need babe
I’m high but don’t want to come back down
So right, how can I resist?
Each day, a beautiful beginning
Or, is this just the beginning ?
Let’s take our time and move real/ slow, we burn so hot we glow
No, don’t wan-na let you go/ oh! look what you do to me
Who, could improve upon this / View? You take my breath away
So, can I wrap you up to/
Go? don’t want to be without/ you
Who, could improve upon this /
View, you in the morning glow
Hey, was that a spell you cast?/ Cause I'm falling under fast
Girl, my head is in a whirl,
Wondering when we can begin again
Bliss, never knew could be like
This, you’re the world in just a kiss
lost in you, findin' you ... are someone so rare
holdin you, holdin' on to ... someone so
they’d all agree/ that you’re.. someone so rare
Now I'm relieved, you chose me ----(''cos you're someone so rare)
Now I believe, God sent me
they'd agree, that you would be - someone so rare
they'd agree, that what I see is - someone so rare
you are so perfect, believe me it's true /before the dawn breaks I'll prove it you
It shines on your face and your face lights up the dark/ We’ll move together to the beat of our hearts
And We might be falling or maybe we’ll fly
So let’s hold on tight girl and give it a try
I hear you call me though your lips make no sound
Locked in this moment I won’t let you down
Feels like I'm dreaming with my eyes open wide
I’ll trace the lines and the curves of your hips
Write invisible words kiss that smile on your lips
It Feels like I’m dreaming with my eyes own wide
That you’re mine for this magical moment in time
