Waiting on Life
04:05
|
|||
Heroes come and heroes go
Another for the undertow mmm
Makes me think that either way
I'd really like to catch that wave mmm
Ohhh if I could wear those wings
I readdddyy to take on these things
Now I'm waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
I've seen on my TV screens
Man, the grass on the other side looks green
I make-believe that I am them
The perfect setting for my requiem
Ohhh the meals that chef would make
Yeah the trips that we could take
I'm waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Thinking ’bout this “happy place”
I realise just what I have today.
Is it all what it’s cracked up to be
Or a twisted view of reality?
Ohhh I reckon I could try
Yeaaahh I’d straighten out this lie
Now I'm waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through
Waiting on life to come through

Our Paradise
03:34
|
|||
There must be some way, to frame this moment
Perfect sunset, over the ocean
Carefree clouds above, fading umber
I feel so high now, and falling for you
I never want to lose right now
Time can leave us way behind
No way this feeling will grow old
In our paradise
Our paradise
The world is circling, shielding us from
Days when we aren't, free from troubles
I'll hold you close tonight, never failing
Let's walk slowly, our footprints trailing
We can't ever lose right now
Close our eyes and taste the air
Fears are far away from here
In our paradise
Our paradise
Ohhh ohhh ohhh
Sweeter times I can't recall
Pain has no place here
Two as one we'll never fall
In our paradise
Our paradise

How I Should Live
04:11
|
|||
Who am I to say that another think the same?
He lives what I live for and lesser know his name, well
Maybe I'm best to look through eyes without the blame.
Just maybe, that's how I should live.
Who am I to say that an eye goes for an eye?
That a loving voice can't steady that hallowed battle cry, well
Maybe I'll lower that gun to the thigh.
Just maybe, that's how I should live.
Brothers, sisters I will stand by you
To help you push on through the fight I'm facing too
Send the clouds away and focus on the blue
Cause I just need a different point of view
That's how I should live
Who am I to say that a marriage could be flawed?
That a man wed to another is against the word of god, well
Maybe acceptance will show it's simply love.
Just maybe, that's how I should live.
Brothers, sisters I will stand by you
To help you push on through the fight I'm facing too
Send the clouds away and focus on the blue
Cause I just need a different point of view
That's how I should live
Who am I to treat others differently?
Judgement on skin colour or rank in society, well
Maybe I'll tear down my childish vanities.
Just maybe, that's how I should live.
Brothers, sisters I will stand by you
To help you push on through the fight I'm facing too
Send the clouds away and focus on the blue
Cause I just need a different point of view
That's how I will live

Lost With You
03:16
|
|||
To walk this world and not be free
I did not write that melody
You always recognised this need
You feed me life and air to breath
Sometimes I trip, sometimes I fall
You pick me and stand me tall
So now my steps are firm and strong
Finding the paths where we belong
Now we're together things are good
I'm feeling like I know I should..
We're a lo---ng way
Down the road with no endin'
No matt---er where
It goes straight or bendin'
I'll get lost with you
Yeahhh lost with you
Those distant footprints on the sand
Are where we've walked over this land
I gaze upon the moon and stars
They're not as lovely as you are
Through wind and rain, hail and snow
My days are lovely with you, you know
No rocky times can shake our faith
You and me together, that's our fate
Right by you is where I'll be
My little angel next to me..
We're a lo---ng way
Down the road with no endin'
No matt---er where
It goes straight or bendin'
I'll get lost with you
Yeahhh lost with you

Haze
03:28
|
|||
Curtain dance, above our head
Lightly touch, the leather bed
I can taste, the summer rain
Falling 'gainst, the window pane
Look across to see my girl
Peaceful in some distant world
Beauty I know so well
Captured me then and boy, I fell
Where we've come, only seems
Like yesterday, mixed with dreams
Children come, soon to go
My Heart's the same, ever growin'
Grandad always, told it true
Fam'ly near, love to you
Why did life, give us the stars?
Shined above, now are ours
Sweetest one, ever strong
Like the sun, my memories long
Never alone, I'll walk with you
Fading days, and darkness too
Walk with me, through the haze
Open skies, cloudless gaze
Curtain dance, above our head
Lightly touch, the leather bed
I can see, the autumn rain
Running down, the window pane

Been Wondering
03:22
|
|||
Been wondering why
We don't see eye to eye.
You might be strange and sometimes deranged
But I guess, whatever gets you by.
Been wondering who
Will take care of you.
If your health leaves with a vicious disease
Well I know, you'll stumble through
As I get older I'm starting to see
Maybe things are black and white.
When I dig deeper the truth is quite clear
To worry 'bout you's not worth my while.
Been wondering when
Karma will come again
I'm sure he's a few appointments with you
Yeah I bet, you'll make good friends
Been wondering what
I'd really like a lot.
If we could decide to never collide
Yeah I think, we give that a shot
As I get older I'm starting to see
Maybe things are black and white.
When I dig deeper the truth is quite clear
To worry 'bout you's not worth my while.
