Every Sunrise



Every Sunrise (song)

The sun rises high
Your heart is sinking low
You've been running fast
But you've got nowhere to go
The day starts brand new
You leave yesterday behind
There’s a destination in your soul
You’re running out of time

Going wherever the wind blows
You know change always brings pain
You passed the test
But you still don’t understand
You've been stuck in the mud with your fears
Waiting for someone to lend a hand

Every sunrise…brings new light
Every sunrise…is the hope that lasts through the night
Every sunrise…gives the promise of life
See the sun rising…I see the sun rising
I see the sun rising in your eyes

 You lost what you had
Now you just try to borrow time
You've been trying to keep out your feelings
Acting like being honest is some sort of crime
Looking out to the horizon
Your dreams disappear

Heading for a place not found on a map
You've come too far to ever go back
You can’t find it on your own
You have to be led
The spirit will take you there
Get into your heart and out of your head

Every sunrise…brings new light
Every sunrise…is the hope that lasts through the night
Every sunrise…gives the promise of life
See the sun rising…I see the sun rising
I see the sun rising in your eyes
  
See the sunlight kiss the snowy mountain range
See the sunlight dance across the ocean waves
See the sunlight set fire to a clear blue sky
See the sunlight paint the valley floor
See the sunlight warm a heart of stone
Nothing you have is what you need
Believe in what you can’t see
You can’t fly if you won’t leave the ground
You've got to lose yourself if you want to be found

Every day is brand new… every sunrise is brand new

Every sunrise…brings new light
Every sunrise…is the hope that lasts through the night
Every sunrise…gives the promise of life
See the sun rising…I see the sun rising
I see the sun rising in your eyes

Eastern Promises




Eastern Promises

Sun shining on the sea
Wading through the waves
Washing me in warm waters from your shores
Fill my soul with your eastern promises

Let your tide rise to meet my western shore
Take the fire from your soul and set the sea ablaze
Let it light up… light up the night
Fill the sky with your flames

Let it reach higher
Higher
Take me higher
Higher
Fill my mouth 
With your eastern promises

You’re a pearl plundered from the sea
Let me sleep under your cherry blossom tree
Your skin is warm Arabian sand
Stretched out before me

You’re a snake charmer
You've got me crawling on the floor
Hidden in splendor…shrouded in mystery
You’re the rhythm that moves me

Take me higher
Higher
Move me higher
Higher
Clothe me
In your eastern promises

I need a new revelation
Give me hope in my desperation
You’re a familiar place 
In a foreign land
Let me find refuge
In your eastern arms
Teach me your ways…Teach me your ways
I won't seek my fate in the stars
Or put my trust in a crescent moon
I just need your eastern promises
I will believe in you…I believe in you
All I need is you

You raise me higher
Higher
Lift me higher
Higher
Save me 
With your eastern promises

Higher…lift me higher
You lift me higher
Save me…you’re gonna save me
Save me with your promises

Heaven and Earth




Heaven and Earth (song)

Verse 1

The sun… is burning out
One day it will go dark
You’re the light
That fills the sky
You’re the heat
That keeps me through the night

Chorus

Hold me tight
In your eyes
Heaven and earth collide
Hold me close
You take me higher
Beyond heaven and earth tonight

Verse 2

From the day I was born
I’ve been drowning in the sea
You’re the waves
Beating against my shore
You go out like the tide
Leave me begging for more

Chorus

Hold me tight
In your eyes
Heaven and earth collide
Hold me close
You take me higher
Beyond heaven and earth tonight

Bridge

I built my kingdom in the sand
I was swept away
By your hurricane
It’s hard for me to understand
Why this boy
Can never become a man

Verse 3

The universe is strung out
With a common thread
You align the stars
Like a string of pearls
You are the hope
That overcomes my world

Chorus

Hold me tight
In your eyes
Heaven and earth collide
Hold me close
You take me higher
Beyond heaven and earth tonight
Take me higher
Beyond heaven and earth tonight

Velocity




Velocity (song)

Verse 1

Colors flashing
Bodies crashing
You’re a whirlwind
Blowing through my mind
Take me higher
You’ve got me wired
Overflow my cup with your wine

Chorus

Velocity…
Take me faster than the speed of light
Velocity…
Don’t let go hold me tight
Velocity…
I’m lost in your slipstream tonight

Verse 2

Racing through your narrow streets
I’m on fire every time we meet
Send me into orbit
Roman candle lighting up the sky
You give me a rush
Taste your cherry red lush
Shooting for the stars in your eyes

Chorus

Velocity…
Take me faster than the speed of light
Velocity…
Don’t let go hold me tight
Velocity…
I’m lost in your slipstream tonight

Bridge

I’m burning up on re-entry
You’ve got me spinning around
Strung out like a vapor trail
I’m going down…I’m going down
Don’t let me hit the ground
I need your speed…I need your speed
You’re what I need
I’m a high wire flyer
Give me your velocity

Chorus

Velocity…
Take me faster than the speed of light
Velocity…
Don’t let go hold me tight
Velocity…
Find me in your slipstream tonight

Ohooh...Ohooh...Ohooh
Velocity
Velocity
Ohooh...Ohooh...Ohooh
Faster than the speed of light
Yeah you make everything feel alright
Come on sugar hold me tight
Velocity

Gravity



Gravity (song)

Shiny satellites
Drifting high above the sky
Speed your love to me tonight
Through the static and interference
Tell me everything is going to be alright
Popping pills to alter my perception
Changing frequencies
I’m losing reception
Sight and sound surround me
You give me a new reality

Gravity…Gravity

What goes up
Doesn't always come down
You’re the gravity keeping me to the ground
Hold me in your orbit tonight
Feel myself losing control
You’re the gravity in my soul

Shooting star
Falling to the ground
Burning up across the sky
My world is falling apart
See my ambitions
Washed away
Like a sandcastle in the waves
Leaning too far over the edge
Tattoo your map
I need you to bring me back

Gravity… Gravity

What goes up
Doesn’t always come down
You’re the gravity keeping me to the ground
Hold me in your orbit tonight
Feel myself losing control
You’re the gravity in my soul

I’m sinking out of my depth
Trying to hold on
I’m out of breath
Darling don’t let go
I’m falling away
Darling don’t let go
I’m fading fast
Darling don’t let me go…
Hold on
I can see you
Shine your light
Hold on
I need you
Hold me tight
Carry me
Hold on
Don’t let go
Darling…be my gravity
You’re the gravity in my soul

Toxic Blue



Toxic Blue (song)

Verse 1

We were busy waiting for tomorrow
I never noticed yesterday had come and gone
We thought that we had all the answers
It was the questions I never knew
You like to come on strong
Like drinking manic red and toxic blue

Chorus

Did you ever wonder?
Why the pretty people…never talk to you?
Do you ever?
Feel like a stranger…when there’s no one else with you?           
Did you ever?
Dress up for the evening…in manic red and toxic blue?
This is the girl I once knew

Verse 2

I still try to find that day
The place I first met you
You send me letters
Postcards from the moon
I keep running to catch up to you
I feel like I’m too late
You tell me it’s too soon
There’s always time for manic red and toxic blue

Chorus

Did you ever wonder?
Why the pretty people…never talk to you?
Do you ever?
Feel like a stranger…when there’s no one else with you?           
Did you ever?
Dress up for the evening…in manic red and toxic blue?
This is the girl I once knew

Bridge

The flower garden you planted
Is overgrown with thorny weeds
The love you once flaunted
Has turned into terminal disease
You dress up pretty
In designer clothes and shoes
But when you smile
All I see is manic red and toxic blue

Did I ever wonder?
Did you never notice?
Did I ever… come on strong?
This is the life I once knew
Manic red and toxic blue

4th of July



4th of July (song)

She comes like 4th of July
She’s brilliant colours
In a burned out sky
Rockets in the night
See the stars collide
Explode in her eyes
She’s the promise of a politician
She lets me down
Then takes me high

She unfolds the night
Turns a sunrise into twilight
She pulls my string
She spins me around
I’m hanging by a thread
Wrapped around her finger
She drops me to the ground
Pick me up in broken pieces

I need your love…
I need your love…
I need your love…
At the break of day
In the blackest night
I need your love

She buried her treasure
She’s plundered gold
She’s like a desert breeze
She comes and goes
She’s a storm raging through my heart
She makes me weep like a willow
She turns me away

She’s the needle in my vein
She’s a fever burning through my brain
She makes me hurt
I’m an addict to her pain
She’s a vision
Leading me down a narrow path
I can’t walk
She leaves me lame

I need your love…
I need your love…
I need your love…
At the break of day
In the blackest night
I need your love

 She’s a pale moon
In a night of blindness
She eclipses everything I see
She’s deception
With eyes of truth
She’s desire
In a town full of thieves
She’s holiness
In the house of corruption
She’s everything I want
And the one thing that I need

I need your love…
I need your love…
I need your love…
At the break of day
In the blackest night
I need your love

She sends me out of control
I need her soul
Make my heart bleed
Make me bleed
I need her speed
Higher…faster
Take everything
Take everything from me

I need your love…
I need your love…
I need your love…
