Break the Fall
03:15
|

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

Finding Heaven
04:16
|
|||
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

Inside Spaces
04:40
|

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

Sandcastle in the Sky
04:42
|
|||
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

The Moon Had a Halo
03:21
|
|||
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

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
