The Race
04:36
|

I’m dreamin’ – in brown and blue
I looked out – found something new
They say – gotta follow through
But I never had that point of view, that point of view
The Race runs through
I’m drownin’ – in black and white
Some say – it’s wrong or right
I never, never followed through
And I’m not afraid of the view, of the view, of the view
The Race runs through
The Race runs through
The Race runs through
The Race . . .
Fifty years tearing down walls
Now they build them up again
Strange instead of hammer and stars
Old scars opening
The Race runs through
Back to back and side to side
Now they dig the great divide
Over under in to you
Now I don’t know what to do
Pain and fear and hate and grief
Now it stands in stark relief
What would they have us do?
The Race runs through
The Race runs through
The Race runs through
The Race . . .
Fifty years tearing down walls
Now they build them up again
Strange instead of hammer and stars
Old scars opening
Fifty years tearing down walls
Now they build them up again
Strange instead of hammer and stars
Old scars opening, they’re opening
The Race runs through
Runs through
Runs through
Runs through

Transparency
04:08
|

Can you see through me?
Apparently transparency’s going around
Stop watch, clock stop
Fears of gears are going round
Ship slip short trip
Seems we’ve run aground
And I might seem to lose from me
A measure of my transparency
The answer lies deeper than you see
Why might we leave
With all we left behind?
I might believe
I’m willing to run out of time
The days ahead are drifting
Shifting out of line
But I couldn’t keep it covered this time
Can you see through me?
Time casts a shadow that follows along
Watch stops, clock drops
Years no longer matter now
Sail ship, day trippin’ over the bow
And I might seem to lose from me
A measure of my transparency
The answer lies deeper than you see
Why might we leave
With all we left behind?
I might believe
I’m willing to run out of time
The days ahead are drifting
Shifting out of line
But I couldn’t keep it covered this time

Charing Cross Station
04:58
|

Underground we didn’t fear
Oh the weight of it all
Found a pose
Image unclear
We didn’t see the fall
Looking back on Charing Cross Station
Looking back on Charing Cross Station
Lost in my head
I can’t feel it anymore
Try to hold on
Drifts away
Had to face the telling mirror
See the truth of it all
Failed to heed the warning clear
We feared the jaded call
Looking back on Charing Cross Station
Looking back on Charing Cross Station
Lost in my head
I can’t feel it anymore
Try to hold on
Drifts away
Charing Cross Station. . .

Learning How
03:29
|
|||
Rain coming down
In my head I found my way
Guiding in to this gray day
And I know
What I’ll be
When I run
When I fall down
How am I supposed to feel?
Tell me how I’m supposed to feel?
Every time I fall, I fall forever
Down and around
Time fly
Ever fear appears so near
And every time I fall
I’m learning how
Pain coming down
Found a way
Around the day
Loneliness will never stay
And I know
What I need
When I hope
When I rise up
Never fear, the road is long
Never fear the road you’re on
Every time I dream, I dream forever
Down and around
Time fly
Ever hope appears so near
And every time I dream
I’m learning how
I’m learning how

Losing five to seven
Moving on
You come together
Very strong
Sealed in time forever
Here you come
Games in shadows
Never see the sun
Framed in malice
Never get it done
Look around 360
You are one
Build a cookie cutter
For your soul
You fail to listen
Already know
Point you in direction
Watch you go
Games in shadows
Never see the sun
Framed in malice
Never get it done
Breathe out confusion so sincere
Nothing more than empty fear
And I’ve had enough
Can’t swallow anymore
You found your voice – megaphone
By George you’re loud
And not alone
But five million fools
No better than one
Games in shadows
Never see the sun
Framed in malice
Never get it done
Breathe out confusion so sincere
Nothing more than empty fear
And I’ve had enough
Can’t swallow anymore
No, no more

Everything
04:20

Hey - when you feel life going under
Gather hope, might save the day
And when your nights are full of thunder
Little light will guide your way
So don’t fear
What you cannot see may be just the key
Hidden very near
Hold on tight
Please don’t give in
Find the right way
Then go in
You win a single spin
Wager everything
Don’t turn round
The way is near
It’s a maze
But can be clear
Don’t fear, a door appears
Leads to everything
You’ll find everything
Hey you with a life that’s full of Mondays
Get outside, see the light of day
And as you seek for a better someday
Take a hand and guide the way
And don’t fear
What you cannot see may be just the key
Hidden very near
Hold on tight
Please don’t give in
Find the right way
Then go in
You win a single spin
Wager everything
Don’t turn round
The way is near
It’s a maze
But can be clear
Don’t fear, a door appears
Leads to everything
You’ll find everything
Forget to feel it all
Forget the tears that fall
Forget the fear – lying over all

Shattered
03:34
|

Here comes the gray rain
Wash over me
Colors running
Am I fading?
In too shallow
Still too strong for me
Try to stand, fall
Spinning I can’t see
Oh, so many years spent drowning
You’d think I’d learn to swim
Blindly I built a life safe within
Sound, but empty space
And now slowly drifting away
Hear comes the white dawn
Wash over me
Bring me up from the water
On to ground I need
Not safe, not sure
Not guaranteed
Where I will stand
And come to see
Oh, too many years spent drowning
I think it’s time to swim
Blindly I’d built a life safe within
Now I step into a world
Where I’ll be
Not safe, not sure
Not guaranteed

Sunday Drive

Sunday drive
Ever after
Holy life
Growing faster
But this time
To face the wind
I sense disaster ahead
We test the mountain
Running scared we dare the valley
Shadows gather on our trail
And there we’ll find the answers
Running time
Ever changing
There goes mine
Rearranging my fears
Like the icy chairs on shattered liners
There’s no self-deception finer
Every time I think about it
Lose my mind elsewhere
But there I find the answers
Care the Father and the Son
Dare to leave the task undone
Bare your soul to everyone
There above the rising sun
Fare thee well my noble one
Share it all, leave none
To find the answers
To find the answer
To find the answers

The Veil
04:35
|
|||
Some dreams fail to last
Torn down by the fools in the black masks
Some truths drifting away
Washed over by the whim of day
You’ve got nothing to fear
It won’t come to this
Shackled by words from the sky
And we reach for the wind as it rushes by
To be free to live by a song
Grows too dear to meet the debt of the wronged
The truth served all along
No gold can help the soul to belong
You’ve got nothing to fear
It won’t come to this
Prison raised with best intent
And we reach for the wind as the veil is rent
While every answer is hidden under fear and jealousy
The truth still lingers over all of those with eyes to see
This disillusion and confusion
Hope will find a way
To be free to live by a song
Grows too dear to meet the debt of the wronged
The truth served all along
No gold can help the soul to belong
While every answer hidden under fear and jealousy
The truth still lingers over all of those with eyes to see
This disillusion and confusion
Hope will find a way
You’ve got nothing to fear
It won’t come to this
Prison raised with best intent
And we reach for the wind

Sun Goes Down
03:35
|

The evening light lays low
Hills are gold
Sun goes down again
The river murmurs light
Welcome night
Sun goes down again
Standing alone
Pale light lingers on
Come away
Night’s waking
A path long tread he walks
Beckoned on
Sun goes down again
A whisper soft and clear
Home is near
Sun goes down again
Journey’s through
Here where it’s ever new
Gone the day
Night’s waking
The weight of memories gather round
The rush of time in every sound
The wage of years is always found
Journey’s through
Here where it’s ever new
Gone the day
Night’s waking

End of All Things
05:33
|
|||
He heard the distant thunder
Bent his head and waited
The night was deep
The stars were hid above
And yet the fear he should have felt
Somehow remained abated
He looked inside and recognized the truth
The cost
He’s waiting to count the numbers
The loss
Lies hidden while wisdom slumbers
How long the night
How short the day
Step in to light
Don’t lose the way
The weight of ages covers all
And lies in every footstep
Beyond the Dream
Beyond the near and known
You find the end of all things
