To Arise 03:38
Better get these lyrics out before the dawn Because then maybe I won't be as inspired When I'm not the only light to shine I have a tendency to get blinded By the artificial beams that claim They are enough to go around I never get up this early in the morning But something was calling me I never get up this early in the morning But something was calling me calling me To arise, to arise Higher than the one who let me down To arise, to arise Higher than the one who let me down Better get that attitude of inner strength in me Then maybe I can be as inspired When I'm not the only light to shine When the feeling has flown away And you think your time is up Your purpose just began Don’t miss it, don’t miss it Your purpose just began I never get up this early in the morning But something was calling me I never get up this early in the morning But something was calling me calling me I never get up this early in the morning But something was calling me I never get up this early in the morning But something was calling me calling me To arise, to arise Higher than the one who let me down To arise, to arise Higher than the one who let me down To arise, to arise Higher and higher than the one Who let me down

I don't want to but I need to Keep a civil ground Cuz baby if I don't You'll be taking me down One ear in and out the other No words hurt me You shoot me with your gun But I'm gonna flee I don't like it When you say those things Oh, when you say those things That make me mad I don't like it When you say those things Oh, when you say those things That make me mad I can't stop your Venom from spreading Through my veins But I got his protection Good God and He reigns One ear in and out the other No words hurt me You shoot mе with your gun But I'm gonna flee I don't like it When you say thosе things Oh, when you say those things That make me mad I don't like it When you say thosе things Oh, when you say those things That make me mad Shoot me with your gun But I'm gonna flee I don't like it When you say those things Oh, when you say those things That make me mad I don't like it When you say those things Oh, when you say those things That make me mad

I’m laying on lime green grass In long island sipping tea I can feel the fresh And sandy ocean breeze Hit my face Feel the embrace I’m laying On lime green grass And I want This moment to last So I can take a blast From the past And look back On the memories I’m laying On lime green grass And I want This moment to last So I can take a blast From the past And look back On the memories I’m going on five fine days On vacation by the sea I can see the sun Reflecting kisses off of me Catching the rays I’m feeling amazing I’m laying On lime green grass And I want This moment to last So I can take a blast From the past And look back On the memories I’m laying On lime green grass And I want This moment to last So I can take a blast From the past And look back On the memories

Wizard of Oz 03:22
The old house was creaking When the wind of change Came rushing in And they were seeking What already lived inside them For The Tin Man wanted a heart And The Scarecrow wanted a brain And The Cowardly Lion wanted courage To face the day They walked the Yellow Brick Road As a young girl searched for home The air above was thick & green No rainbow or blue birds to be seen Ruby shoes gave her in confidence Just to realize the evidence She stood the test of time In the city of lies For The Tin Man wanted a heart And The Scarecrow wanted a brain And The Cowardly Lion wanted courage To face the day For The Tin Man wanted a heart And The Scarecrow wanted a brain And The Cowardly Lion wanted courage To face the day As the end drew near It became obvious That what was wanted you had Oh, it lied inside For The Tin Man had a heart And The Scarecrow had a brain And The Cowardly Lion had courage And the young girl returned home

To Be Loved 03:54
Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who am I No really, who am I to teach you All the wise but tearful cries This world can make you go mad I try, I really do try to not care but The bar is set high, I don't know why This world can make me compare I just wanna be loved Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Am I right? No really, am I right to say this Scared of failing, can't be sailing On God's big wave I could dive No, I really could dive in this pool but The waters deep Am I asleep Cause I can't seem to wake up I just wanna be loved Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good When the feeling is that good So good, so good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good Who doesn't wanna be loved When the feeling is that good

Bird Song 02:32
Mmm, you gotta run Towards the bird that's been calling All this time He's telling you something Mmm, you gotta run Towards the bird that's been calling All this time He's telling you something I'm trying to let go All of the fear inside of me But I never knew I'd do it without clarity I'm betting on a chance And brushing off the past The only way to dance Is to lose your control Mmm, you gotta run Towards the bird that's been calling All this time He's telling you something Mmm, you gotta run Towards the bird that's been calling All this time He's telling you something Stop signs, red lights There were some warning signs Don't get me, don't get me wrong There were some highlights but There were some crossed lines Mmm, you gotta run Towards the bird that's been calling All this time He's telling you something Mmm, you gotta run Towards the bird that's been calling All this time He's telling you something

Hold On 03:03
The fires are burning The fields are rising in flames But you keep bringing your waters To clear out a way The hills are yelling The valley is screaming your name But you keep showing your mercy To wipe out the shame I hear you calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on I hear you calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on The kids are starving The walls are falling I pray, I pray And you keep building us up To fight all the pain Now the fields are growing The trees are blowing, they're swaying You make all our fears Run away, run away I hear you calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on I hear you calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on to me Hold on Hold on Hold on to me I hear you calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on I hear, I hear You calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on I hear you calling in the distance Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on Keep telling me to hold on

I'll find a way To where we used to go Where we used to roam And the light shined through the trees like Strobe lights Strobe lights Through the trees Strobe lights Strobe lights Through the trees To where we used to go To where we used to roam Strobe lights I don't feel time, whenever I am here, everything is clear Drown away my fears, lights thru the mirror Yeah, I'm at rest, in the silencе, between each breath I am pеace, as we lay here, underneath the sky The stars are mine, in the middle of july Yeah, I'm at rest, in the silence, between each breath Strobe lights Strobe lights Through the trees Strobe lights Strobe lights Through the trees To where we used to go To where we used to go Through the trees To where we used to go I'll find a way To where we used to go Where we used to roam And the light shined through the trees like Strobe Lights
