Faded Stone

I saw your name as I walked on by you, written on an old faded stone
And as the years pass I wonder where you went
On the wind travelling far away
Feels like only yesterday I heard you voice as we spoke
Oh how times goes by
I wonder where you are within your starlight
Are you back home within your souls
And if you’re watching us, can you see me
Can you feel me in the morning light?
Feels like only yesterday I heard you voice as we spoke
Oh how times goes by
I stand alone in this quiet emptiness looking up at this marble wall
With my father’s and mother’s name on it
This is where they’ll find their lasting peace
Feels like only yesterday I heard you voice as we spoke
Oh how times goes by

Saving Grace
02:20
|
|||
|
I wonder what you see when you’re looking through your eyes
The passing of time
Memories of a young girl sitting on the church yard wall
Sharing stories of life
You’re singing to the sun at the end of a hard day’s work all done
Now that your years have slipped away and your heart is growing tired
Yet you're still smiling
While your angels keep you safe in the comfort of your beliefs
In the arms of your family
I’m not sure all your dreams came true with all that life laid in front of you
Now take my hand and let’s walk for a while, dear mother while we can
And wait for the morning
Let the light of tomorrow take away all your sadness and your sorrow
Your saving grace

Could Have Been
04:07

Could have been so many things in this life
depending on where your dice fell and some sacrifice
Could have been a sailor living on the wide open sea
Trying to live a simpler life away from the big city
Could have been my life
Could have been a farmer like my father’s father wise
Working on the land day and night so much sacrifice
And I don’t know what made leave it all behind and travel so far away
To take a chance and follow a dream and build his family
Could have been my life
Now I could have been a soldier running off to war
Cause I’d been sold the story of some more sacrifice
To keep your family safe for your god and your country
Cause taking hill 21 means so much so we all can be free
Could have been my life
Now I could have been a better man to the ones that I love
Could have listened a little bit more and learned to compromise
Could have been a better son and not stayed so far away
By chasing all my dreams and running around could have spent more time instead
Could have been my life

Never Letting Go
04:11
|
|||
|
Another summer has come to nurture the sun is shining down on us
After months in isolation it’s time to breath in hope again
Now let the light inside heal you let it wash away your pain
Human touch is what we long for what we need to feel whole again
Through the glass I see you waving a tired look upon your face
Trying to understand and reason why we cannot share this space
And you lying here beside dreaming
In your arms I’m never letting go
So many families have been divided separated by an unseen force
But now’s the time for us to look forward a time to open up our hearts
And you lying here beside dreaming
In your arms I’m never letting go
And you lying here beside darling
In your arms I’m never letting go
And you lying here beside dreaming
In your arms I’m never letting go

Call For Freedom
03:53
|
|||
|
Can you hear the call for freedom?
In one voice a calling for change
Across the world one hand raised up in hope
That the years of injustice will end
A human life is too precious so stop denying
And the colours that make us all are of one spirit
Can you hear the call for freedom?
In one voice a calling for change
Can you see how they try to divide us?
Because they know as one heart we can’t be defeated.

Strange Year
03:59
|

|
It’s been a strange year, I keep feeling it, pulling me away
from where I thought I’d want to be
And I keep hearing so many people saying
The world’s gone crazy not sure where to turn now
See all our demi gods smiling happily
As we watch them fill their hands with gold in silence
Now can you imagine where we all might be
If we weren’t divided by this blind faith insanity
Now aren’t we all looking for that lifeline?
Raise our hands up for answers in the sky
Bring me back down to what I can believe in
Give me a sign
Let me be free
It’s the same old story there’s only one way through
Push back the veils to see what’s in front of you
If we listen to our hearts now
Stand together not apart side by side
and you’ll see there’s nothing we can’t do
Now aren’t we all looking for that lifeline?
Raise our hands up for answers in the sky
Bring me back down to what I can believe in
Give me a sign
Let me be free

Yesteryear
04:02
|

|
I can see my house from here hard to believe it was yesteryear
Riding on our bikes coming home from school
Laughing all the while feeling free
Yesteryear another lifetime
Dreams of a boy will see you through
The smile of a young girl makes your knees weak
As you wear your heart upon your sleeve
And the words you want to speak don’t come so easily
Please take my hand and let’s dance to this song
Yesteryear another lifetime
Dreams of a boy will see you through
My mother watches me walk up the hill
To an early morning game on cold ice
Before my dad arrives home from work
To watch his son with sparkling eyes
Yesteryear another lifetime
Dreams of a boy will see you through

Sunlight Skies
04:58
|
|||
|
Early morning, your eyes closed
Feel the light across your face
I drift away to a sunlit sea
Always find peace in this place
Then I hear the distant voices
Of many days and nights gone by
The laughter of surrender
Living in the moment’s sublime
Sunlight skies and sea of blue
Carry me back home to you
Now as your day begins and you look outside
Kind of feel lost in it all
Wonder how or why you’re here
Always reaching deep inside
Then I hear the distant voices
Of many days and nights gone by
The laughter of surrender
Living in the moment’s sublime
Sunlight skies and sea of blue
Carry me back home to you
Ancient eyes and tired hearts walk on water
As far as your eyes can see
Broken dreams and yesterday’s tomorrows
It will be here when you turn away
Sunlight skies and sea of blue
Carry me back home to you

As The Skies Turn
04:29
|
|||
|
In the days ahead where will you run for comfort
when the skies turn red will we see it coming
as the flame burns out it's taken by another
Hold on to the one you love hold dear the truth of love
let it see you through let it guide you through
When your heart cries out someone’s bound to hear you
stay within yourself tell them what concerns you
open up your eyes see the changes happening
touch their hands and let compassion guide you through
Hold on to the one you love hold dear the truth of love
let it see you through let it guide you through
as the road turns a different way is coming
take the step ahead feel your way around it
the answers are within just listen to your feelings
you will know deception clear your mind and see yourself

Where Does The Time Go
04:17
|
|||
|
It’s another day seem to have time on my hands, just trying to keep it all together
See my mind keeps wandering off to a time long ago
when things were a little simpler and light
When those around kept you safe and happy, shielding from the hardships that they face
Cause each day they work hard to make a living, so you can feel carefree like a young boy should
Where Does the time go seems like yesterday, will the memories live for ever
Where does the time go keeps on slipping away, got to be strong and hold on another day
Now it seems that life isn’t too fair, doesn’t owe you anything you can’t earn
Cause no one said this life would be easy, oh this long road, just something understood
Perhaps you made a pact with yourself, before you got this long journey started
But sadly you’ve forgotten and can’t start all over again
Just got to make the best of things and carry on
Where Does the time go seems like yesterday, will the memories live for ever
Where does the time go keeps on slipping away, got to be strong and hold on another day
Now when you’re young you seem invincible, there’s nothing you can’t do or take you down
Until it’s not and it’s taken as time keeps ticking away as the moon smiles down at you
There’s no reason to feel discouraged, think about all the beauty in your life
To all the people who have shared their love and their stories
and all the joy that surrounds you.
Where Does the time go seems like yesterday, will the memories live for ever
Where does the time go keeps on slipping away, got to be strong and hold on another day

You See Me

Soul of my soul, I wait for you
Heart of my heart song I sing for you
You see me, You see me
Light of my light, a path we share
Walking together your hand in mine
You see me, You see me
Searching for meaning, a place of peace
Sharing our heart song from life to life
You see me, You see me
Bridge
Though we make walk through fire and rain
Knowing the light will always remain
You see me
Our love eternal your soul will feel
The passing of time will all reveal
You see me, You see me, You see me I see you to
