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

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

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 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.
