To Begin
So many nights I walk alone
Would our many hearts remain unheld?
Where are your eyes, the focus gone
Lost in the seas we’ve yet to sail
I want to feel you want me
I want to feel you pull me in
I want to hold you baby
I want this
New life to begin
Number the stars when we first met
Lawless, a love of grasping hands
Or has our Arc been fully spent
Could we have reached the ground
Again
I want to feel you want me
I want to feel you pull me in
I want to hold you baby
I want this
New life to begin
We’re rising and we’re falling
Was this world really here?
I want to feel you want me
I want to feel you pull me in
I want to hold you baby
I want this
New life to begin

Pleasure for Pain

Pleasure for Pain
I spend my time running
I follow distraction to every cliff
The gun of my guilt
And the question what if
I still know what fuels me
And I can’t really say I don’t know where to go
Which voice to follow
As truly my own
But given the choice, I fall back
And desire overcame
What part of myself am I trying
To fill with this game
I think that I need to release
To find peace from the pain
And then I’m gone again
Mistaking pleasure for pain
Cold, walking on concrete
But the heaviest weight is the load I’ve to loose
This bitter temptation
Will force me to change
Oh passion gets stormy now
I’ve got to let it out
But boys will be boys, I fall back
And desire overcame
What part of myself is still trying
To keep me in chains
I’ll never get out of this circle
With myself to blame
Please take me home again
And give me strength
The wonder of all we can share
Is what we’ve got to gain
And all else pales in the light of the innocent
Two hearts the same
I want to come home
Want to call my own soul by it’s name
Where I won’t be gone again,
Mistaking pleasure for pain.

Anika
When I was caught in a storm on a bridge
And the river beneath me ran wild
All of the words that I never did say to you
Suddenly breaching my mind
The truth speaks in whispers
More than it screams
But right now it’s so hard to be blind
These old emotions burst at the seams
And they carry me back into time
When you were mine
We reached the divine
Sweet Anika kind
And now I know that the roads that we chose
Went to different shores of the sea
Dauntless and careless we sauntered along
Disregarding the things that might be
I was a young man, cocky and proud
When you showed me what real love could be
We were two nomads, not stuck on the ground
Just the pounding desire to be free
When you were mine
We reached the divine
Sweet Anika kind
Isn’t it possible
All of our fears could just wash away with the new rain
Older and wiser
Now we can still turn that old spark of our love
Into flame
If you were still mine
We’d reach the divine
Sweet Ankia kind

Two
Lie your self to peace, oh tonight
Alive outside the dream of time
Now I am humbled, pure in her eyes
Mine outside the dream
Of mine
Who am I to love you the way I do?
Through the night untold your
Sweet mercy
Break the bonds that hold two
From love
Blow as shifting sand
All across the light that knows no time
From an open hand
Through the stillness
Radiating eyes
When I am hungry for the truth of who I am
Come beaming up inside me
Open up my hands
Who am I to love you the way I do?
Through the night unfold your
Sweet mercy
Break the bonds that hold two
From love
Who am I to love you the way I do?
Through the night unfold your
Sweet mercy
Break the bonds that hold two
From love
Who am I to love you

Unsung Dreams

Unsung Dreams
Half a mile from my homeland
A hundred miles to go
Winter speaks, will you listen?
Words as soft as snow
Is it time I’m forgiven?
My heavy laden bead
Break the ice, free the river
Fears from out my head
I’ve been walking on eggshells
My words don’t reach the air
Fiery lies they mistook me
And burned my heart to bare
And as I stepped to the edge
Felt my sanity shake
Felt my life would be crushed under the weight
Of unsung dreams
Unsung dreams
Twenty years from my childhood
But still in your old cloak
The subtle voice of ambition
My very soul would choke
But I have eyes full of vision
My heart eclipse my head
I’ve yet skies to be risen
Where never I am led…
To Unsung dreams
There’s still soul coming out
There’s still hope to be won
And in the end I will rise
And I’ll fall with you
Free the chains
I was bound
To Unsung dreams
Unsung dreams

God we Are
When I’m old
With seasons in my lines
And I’ve blown
Through so many stormy nights
“Did you know how I would heal you
With the song that I would sing to you?
Many arms unfold
Is it not enough”
“Come in
And take me into your life
Begin
Seeing between the lines
So many stars fall within me
Study your eyes so full of love for me
This is the life we’ve made
God we are
God we are

Pulling the Chariot
This was the life we’d cling to
Now so much is washing away
I’ve got some things I must do
We’ll never be free from change
The spirit of man is given
The voice of the wild to cry him home
He’s greeting an ancient vision
Restoring an exiled queen her throne
Her power is vast and rising
So welcome the flood and there will be peace
And I can discover a different me
We’ve got to release this now
‘Cause god knows we have held out
Pulling the Chariot
It’s time to explore the sky
‘Cause these wings were made to fly
Pulling the Chariot
Dawn breaks, I’m a new man
Let some other soul endure
There’s nothing you can tell me
To take me away from her
I bet the stars are risen
Just so they can watch our dreams come true
And I can discover a different you
We’ve got to release this now
‘Cause god knows we have held out
Pulling the Chariot
It’s time to explore the sky
‘Cause these wings were made to fly
Pulling the Chariot
What voice will guide your eyes
One choice can save your life

Fragile
May it be what I love
Is the song more than what it brings
I turn back to the man I was
By the sea, Silver Field
Where the moon cloaked an evergreen
I turned back to the woman I love
Life so fragile
And what will be coming is more than we know
Eyes closed
To your hands full
Where all I imagine is mine.
And I’m kneeling at the fall of the world
Where I came
And I’m kneeling at the fall of the world
Where I came
Cause I’ve been moving this wound for so long
And I’m sure it will break before dawn
Yeah I’m feeling my time is at haste
For this change
Little bird on the wing
If your dreams blow you far from home
Don’t turn back to the past
You know.
Life so fragile
And what will be coming is more than we know
But your eyes closed
To your hands full
Where all I imagine is mine.

The Final Hour
Emerging of a world
From cloudy covered eyes
In a song that fills the sky
To keep me open
Falling from a dream
That things were better than
We’ll never be again
The chain was broken
I let you take my power
Until the final hour
My heart was bent from trying
Yeah our love was like a dream
But a sweet one
Starry summer nights
When my heart was in your eyes
Yeah it took my by surprise
When you cracked it open
The river where we played
Just keeps rolling me along
So I’ll write you one last song
And keep on hoping
I didn’t know my power
Until the final hour
My heart forever woken
Yeah our love was like a dream
But oh a sweet one.

Overcome
Green eyes I watch you dream away
Your grey skies will soon begin to change
I want you to know I see whats in you
And I believe your star still shines
We ride the wave of love tonight
And I want you
I am overcome
By your love you
Carry me in from
All the weight of
That I thought I was
Overcome
true love the gift within your soul
would you grant me my wishes?
Or let them find me on their own
Soft eyes on the water
The day dies to the moon
The same way I’m falling in to you
And I want you
I am overcome
By your love you
Carry me in from
All the days I thought
I was alone
And I want you
I am overcome
By your love you
Carry me in from
All the weight of
That I thought I was
Overcome

Set Sail
Somehow you found me
When the stars led the way
The fate and the fury
The breaking of day
My blind eyes were seen through
The rage never felt
I rushed to the ocean
And finally set sail
Set Sail
