Never thought that I’d find someone like you Never thought that I’d find myself again In a time when I was so confused You lift me up And carried me out of the rain In your arms I find I am blind In your eyes I hide my soul inside Break the fall through it all Bring me back again to you Break the fall through it all I’m coming back again to you Never thought that I’d find another day Never thought that there’d be another way In your arms I find I am blind In your eyes I hide my soul inside Break the fall through it all Bring me back again to you Break the fall through it all I’m coming back again to you I see the colour in your face And feel the light in your embrace I’m coming home to you In your arms I find I am blind In your eyes I hide my soul inside Break the fall through it all I’m coming back again to you

Twenty Nine 04:12
When I was twenty one Life was but an open book If I had a chance to be loved, I took Beaten down, I would climb back with just one look When I was unafraid I got caught up in the game you played But you turned on your heel And you walked away And I never got a chance to say I love you, I wanted to But now I’m seeing, its just not you Chorus: You’ll never now what it’s like to love me You’ll never know what it’s like To be loved by me Oh oh, oh oh You’ll never learn what it’s like Oh oh And now I’m twenty nine Promises have come and passed Is love just a game where I didn’t get the winning card? You dealt me your hand But there was a joker in the house of hearts The game is over, the chips are down Chorus And I know that with an end comes a beginning You could feel like hope is lost but you might be winning So keep on giving Don’t stop living ‘Cause the king of hearts He’s got your card in his hand I wanna know what it’s like to love you I wanna know what it’s like To be loved by you Oh oh, oh oh I wanna learn what it’s like Oh oh

Miracle 03:31
One day you'll see that the earth was formed To mould your feet One day you'll see that the sky was filled To let you breathe One day you'll see that Love was made for you To make you smile One day you'll see that the fresh wind blows To still your fears One day you'll see that the suns shines down To dry your tears One day you'll see that Love was made for you And you'll let him do a miracle Inside of you One day you'll see that a fire burns To warm your heart One day you'll see that you're a work of art That creation lives in you A miracle, miracle, miracle, a miracle One day you'll see that mountains rise To let rivers flow One day you'll find him on the other side Of your soul's sorrow One day you'll see that Love was made for you And you'll let him do a miracle Inside of you One day you'll see that a fire burns To warm your heart One day you'll see that you're a work of art That creation lives in you A miracle, miracle, miracle, a miracle

Bittersweet 03:55
Is it morning again? Is it time to wake up? Oh, its another Monday Another turn of the clock It’s the same old routine The same old disease Oh, I have all that I need But it tastes bittersweet I think today I will put my heart away I will join in this charade. Would you ever give it up? Cos I would sell it all for love Oh it tastes so bittersweet To have it all Is bittersweet Are you trapped in indifference Where there’s no time to breathe? It’s much safer to stay In this middle class ease Do you wonder what it would be like to live your dream As you lie awake at night, thinking What more could there be? What more could there be? What more could there be? Would you ever give it up? Cos I would sell it all for love Oh it tastes so bittersweet To have it all Is bittersweet Before its too late I’d like to live free And I’d like to get out So I’m down on my knees To pray, I’m ok But I won’t join in this charade Would you ever give it up? Cos I would sell it all for love Oh it tastes so bittersweet To have it all Is bittersweet Thought I had it all, but its bittersweet

Was a man on the street last night He had nothing to eat so he fought for his life He found relief at the bottom of a bottle But there was so little left to find Will he be ok? Will he be alright? Will he make it through the cold and lonely night? Maybe somehow, maybe someday Beneath the paper where he sleeps He’ll find Heaven He’ll find Heaven She makes a living on the corner of Main She would never have thought she could handle the shame She had a man, with a hard-fisted hand So she took all she had and she ran Will she be ok? Will she be alright? Will she make it through the cold and lonely night? Maybe somehow, maybe someday Beneath the paper where she sleeps She’ll find Heaven She’ll find Heaven So I’ll see her at the corner of Main everyday The story of her life written in the lines upon her face And the truth in my shame Is that I don’t even know her name Will she find a light? Will she find a way? Will she see that love’s not very far away? Maybe somehow, maybe someday Beneath the paper where she sleeps She’ll find Heaven She’ll find Heaven Beneath the paper where she sleeps

They see the world Through different eyes They see the stars Through different skies They seek, what they need, just like me Her eyes, like glass Reflect her hurt Her smile like brass Speak without words She needs, what I seek is to be heard Chorus To be brave, to be strong To be loved, to belong To fill the inside spaces He looks so small So lost in it all Small hands, small feet Yet so incomplete Yet like me, he waits, to be found To be brave, to be strong To be loved, to belong To fill the inside spaces To laugh, to cry To live and die I’m in need of some direction In a world obsessed with perfection To be brave, to be strong To be loved, to belong To fill the inside spaces

Today the world looked different somehow The silver lining faded from the clouds It was a lonely winter sunset And the trees had lost their leaves Silence in the air Except the whisper in the breeze Saying... everything is changing Today the world felt different somehow The clouds began to clap their hands And tears fell from the sky A melody of raindrops played As darkness filled the skies And the stars began to cry out That I didn't want to say goodbye Didn't want to say goodbye And what if I was made for you And you were made for me? And what if we gave up, before we really had a chance to be? You'll take your heart I'll take mine Somewhere we'll be Lost in time... Building a sandcastle in the sky Building a sandcastle in the sky Today the world felt different somehow I never thought that I could feel what I feel for you right now And I guess that this is over Since we've said our last goodbye And now our hearts take flight up to our Sandcastle in the sky I'll take your hand You'll take mine Somewhere we'll be Lost in time... Building a sandcastle in the sky Building a sandcastle in the sky

Walls 03:41
We lived in a house With a big backyard When I was young Before life got hard We played on the grass Till the sun went down We laid on our backs And watched the white clouds Oh, my heart is drifting Over memories shifting We climbed in the trees Hiding under the leaves Imagined stories, created secrets That only we would keep Oh, sometimes I laughed till I couldn’t breathe Oh, sometimes I cried myself to sleep Inside your walls Under the stars Within your keep And when I grew up They broke your walls apart Created spaces for unknown faces On the blue print of my heart Oh, although you leave no trace behind Oh, I’m walking in the hallways of my mind Inside your walls Under the stars Within your keep Inside your walls Under the stars The memories sleep

And so saddened she was And so darkened she was But she knew that her name Was written in the stars above And so black was the night And so heavy the fight But she knew that her strength was gained From eternal might And the moon had a halo tonight And she envied the stars with her light I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I have been And I know everything’s gonna be alright And so silent she stayed And she cried and she prayed But she knew in her heart Yes she knew that her ransom was paid And the moon had a halo tonight And she envied the stars with her light I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I have been And I know everything’s gonna be alright Gonna be alright through the night ‘Cause she’s holding on tight Picking up a million little pieces Of this lonely broken heart And the moon had a halo tonight And she envied the stars with her light I don’t know where I’m going but I know where I have been And I know everything’s gonna be alright I don’t know where I’m going but I know it'll be alright 'Cause the moon had a halo tonight

Never give your heart away she said Turn your back and walk away instead I’ve been a player in that game And it just ain’t worth the pain The less you give the less you’ll lose Or show yourself a fool she said I’m tired of taking chances Won’t let my heart control my head And I said hey, hey Don’t be a fool and turn away Because fortune favours the brave Oh oh oh For broken hearts they will deceive I told her that I’d never leave Together we can make a way I heard that fortune favours the brave And I said hey, hey Don’t be a fool and turn away Because fortune favours the brave Oh oh oh And she said there'll be a better day ‘Cause today the world got in my way And she said tonight I’ll close my eyes And tomorrow a new sun will rise I’ll be brave again tomorrow I’ll be brave again tomorrow Because fortune favours the brave Oh oh
11.
There's a lighthouse that sits On a far away hill Where two oceans kiss As their waves greet the sky And my bones are weary Cos I've travelled so far So I'll climb to the top So I can guide my soul to shore So I can lay my body down Where oceans meet the sky Is where I'll be found Where oceans meet the sky Is where I'll be found And the birds and the leaves Will whisper in the trees She'll be found where the ocean meets the sky She'll be found where the ocean meets the sky Where the waves meet the sky They sing a lullaby And I have found my home to rest And I have laid my body down Chorus She'll be found where the ocean meets the sky She'll be found where the ocean meets the sky
