Brighter Day 04:04
It’s hard to feel at home When all is so unknown It’s hard to not feel small When all is getting out of control, out of control Do clouds hide a sunray Won’t the storms just go their way Will the night bring a new day Will we be all okay, okay Hold on tight dear don’t you fear You can wipe away that tear A brighter day is getting near The sky will clear When something seems so wrong Don’t lose hope, go stand strong Scream from the top of your lungs Lift your head & carry on Hold on tight dear don’t you fear You can wipe away that tear A brighter day is getting near The sky will clear Brighter day is getting near, the sky will soon be clear

We were only children, we were young Holding hands & making plans to be forever together Forever and ever I look outside, just a glance And I see you and me We seem so happy, we seem so happy We used to run, through the trees Until we stumbled to our knees But we helped each other up, always helped each other up But one day, you let go You left me, in the cold You didn’t help me from my fall You didn’t hold me anymore We were only children, how were we supposed to know that’s how it goes Cause things disappear, although they are still near And now we’ve grown and we’ve each gone our separate roads Will they ever meet again? Will we ever meet again? But one day, you let go You left me, in the cold You didn’t help me from my fall You didn’t hold me anymore Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore But one day, you let go You left me, in the cold You didn’t help me from my fall You didn’t hold me anymore

Where To Go 03:07
There are so many choices that can lead me to different places I find it hard to know which way to go I could keep on tossing & turning, worrying about what to do Or listen to those people who tell me: “It will come to you” The roads will go their separate ways As they bring us further along the way We must lift our head every single day See the beauty every step of the way Where to go, to go, to go, go Where to go, to go, to go, to go Life is a long old journey, not a destination I’ll enjoy the wilderness of my own intuition The wind will fill my sail & lead me away from the safe harbour It’s only when I’m lost that I can truly discover The roads will go their separate ways As they bring us further along the way We must lift our head every single day See the beauty every step of the way Where to go, to go, to go, go Where to go, to go, to go, to go Stop looking out for the signs, feeling like you have to follow the straight lines Don’t be scared of being unprepared, be proud of the fact that you dared Where to go, to go, to go, go Where to go, to go, to go, to go

You leaned right over and hugged me tight Hid your frown with a beautiful smile Your wink of the eye just to help me get by Your gentle squeeze of my hand When I felt it, I melted Cause I knew it, was a silent goodbye Now you’re gone, so I look to the sky Hear you whisper ‘please don’t cry’ Dry your tears, face your fears, be kind (x2) Now you’re gone so I look inside Wallow in the love you left behind Feel the joy, feel the peace I know you’re here and so very near When I felt it, I melted Cause I knew it, was a silent goodbye Now you’re gone, so I look to the sky Hear you whisper ‘please don’t cry’ Dry your tears, face your fears, be kind (x2) You took flight in the middle of the night, Not a trace just a big wide space. Your gentle soul had played out its role, Left me loved for that was your goal. Now you’re gone, so I look to the sky Hear you whisper ‘please don’t cry’ Dry your tears, face your fears, be kind (x2)

I remember a day when these places weren’t so gray The trees went up so high they’d cover up the sky Plants, leaves and branches gently swaying in the wind Many different colours and odors, where do I begin? But where’s our empathy, don’t we have some self-control? ’Cause there are limits that we simply can’t ignore We’re heading down a dangerous road towards a very different world I know there was a time when man and nature were fine They went hand in hand, felt no urge to be in command But now all I see are rivers of concrete and dry land It seems we’ve forgotten it’s not above all others we stand But where’s our empathy, don’t we have some self-control? ’Cause there are limits that we simply can’t ignore We’re heading down a dangerous road towards a very different world It’s happening right before our eyes, there is no need to act surprised Feel the guilt and hear the cries I hope one day we’ll realize x2 The time has come to change this around, hear our feet thump on the ground

Life can be a big long road Where there’s no one to say hello It’s like you’re walking alone It’s sometimes hard to see the light Even though you shine so bright It’s like you’re closing your eyes Put a foot in front of the other Taking steps but never getting further Feels like you’re being dragged under But don’t worry, I know, you’ll be alright Cause the sun will shine another day & soon you will be okay The pain left far away I know it’s hard, but you’ll go far And you’ll find who you truly are And you will start over Cause you are brave and you are strong One day you will come along You’ll show us how it’s done But don’t worry, I know, you’ll be alright Cause the sun will shine another day & soon you will be okay The pain left far away I’ll be with you all the way The pain belongs to yesterday There is nothing you can hide I see the fire you’ve got inside But don’t worry, I know, you’ll be alright Cause the sun will shine another day & soon you will be okay The pain left far away

Who am I? What can I? Where should I go? I feel so much pressure ’cause I just don’t know Is it what I want or could it be what you want from me? If only I could figure this out and see it all clearly Even though their eyes, they look at me Why be scared to disagree? Why should I care? Care I shouldn’t care Just ignore that stare (x2) Going down the long road always towards the same old goal People standing in line ’cause they have no time to even question Can I be so sure that this is my very own decision? Can I really be free in this world full of expectation? Even though their eyes, they look at me Why be scared to disagree? Why should I care? Care I shouldn’t care Just ignore that stare (x2) Ignore that stare, you’ll be glad once you dare Ignore that stare, you’ll be glad once you’re there Why should I care? Care I shouldn’t care Just ignore that stare (x2) Ooh

Lately, been feeling kind of happy I’ve realized how lucky I am to have you with me. I can’t stop smiling, I’m smiling all the time The only reason why is ’cause you are my ray of sunshine. No matter if I’m feeling down, All goes away when you’re around You are my ray of sunshine, The way you brighten up the sky My ray of sunshine, You always lighten up my life My ray of sunshine Laughing, we’re laughing in the rain There’s no need to complain ’cause as you taught me all is just a game. No matter if it’s dark and grey, your light will shine every single day You are my ray of sunshine, The way you brighten up the sky My ray of sunshine, You always lighten up my life My ray of sunshine You know you make me feel just like a child again, Not scared to be ourselves / myself & laugh for hours on end You know you make me feel so good inside Bring out that smile that I just can’t hide You are my ray of sunshine, The way you brighten up the sky My ray of sunshine, You always lighten up my life My ray of sunshine (x4)

Fading Away 03:40
Looking at your face and I’m a little scared Behind those cold eyes it’s like nobody’s there You are not the same anymore I’m losing sight of who you were before I don’t think you’ve even realized the person you’ve become Don’t think it’s funny you don’t seem ready to change If only you could stop fading away And be just like you were in the good old days The only thing I’ve got are the memories you’ve left behind I can see you get this feeling from inside It’s not something you care to hide You do this again and again and again and again and again Until you cause everybody pain I don’t think you’ve even realized the person you’ve become Don’t think it’s funny you don’t seem ready to change If only you could stop fading away And be just like you were in the good old days The only thing I’ve got are the memories you’ve left behind

Nowhere Near 03:41
I’m staring out my window I’m here to watch the moon glow It’s weird to think that this bright light Could be reflecting in your eyes ’Cause I know you’re far away from home And it’s been so long The moon will fade and the sun will shine And we’ll get older every time Despite the changes and the years gone by You’ll always stay the same in my mind ’Cause I know you’re far away from home And it’s been so long Wouldn’t it be nice if you were here If I could close my eyes and you’d appear But when I look around, you’re nowhere to be found No you’re nowhere near (No) If only we could live those times again I’d hold your hand like I did back then I’d squeeze it tight through the whole night And not let go until sunrise ’Cause I know you’re far away from home And it’s been so long Wouldn’t it be nice if you were here If I could close my eyes and you’d appear But when I look around, you’re nowhere to be found No you’re nowhere near I just want to say You really should have stayed Come along, come along, come along, come along today Wouldn’t it be nice if you were here If I could close my eyes and you’d appear But when I look around, you’re nowhere to be found No you’re nowhere near Wouldn’t it be nice if you were here If I could close my eyes and you’d appear Come along, come along, come along, come along today

Flower Again 04:09
Somewhere, somewhere outside It’s growing, growing in the wild It won’t be long, before it comes undone All will blow away, from where it once belonged Float through the sky Somewhere that gentle stem will wear Float through the sky Its seeds blowing & drifting through the air While the time has passed, things have come & gone But you’ll never forget the place from where you’ve come Every single thing you’ve been taught or shown It will stay with you for so long Float through the sky Somewhere that gentle stem will wear Float through the sky Its seeds blowing & drifting through the air They’ll land elsewhere & start to flower again Nothing will ever be lost, all will carry on We’ll carry on, we’ll carry on, keep going on & on Float through the sky Somewhere that gentle stem will wear Float through the sky Its seeds blowing & drifting through the air They’ll land elsewhere & start to flower again Nothing will ever be lost, all will carry on
