MORNING SKIES It's creeping in the morning light A time to meditate To tinker with a ticking clock Before it gets too late Morning skies make it clear and real Morning skies feel alive Been knocking on an open door And waiting to come in And you'd been waiting patiently To let the love begin Morning skies make it clear and real Morning skies feel alive Lift me up and stretch me out Clean me up and pray Sing to me your sweetest song Oh won't you come and play Morning skies make it clear and real Morning skies taught me how to feel Morning skies feel alive

Way out at sea Rocking in the creases of the ride Held true, by you Drifting to the place where I now lie Come tear me apart Come tear me apart Come tear me apart dear Come and take and gently break my heart Unsure, unclear Prey to all the savages and lies Made new, by you Bathing in this unforeseen suppose Come tear me apart Come tear me apart Come tear me apart dear Come and take and gently break my heart Come and take and gently break my heart

Lines of men of minds and dreams Are lost between the poppy seeds Paint a picture pink and gold Of all those stories left untold Break up all those dreams We'll put them in a box for us to hold Been picking at the seams And sewing many stitches to turn pictures of our wishes into gold As the thunder breaks and the rain is close behind You are always on my mind Paper skin so soft and still Let me give my world to you Let me kiss your salty cheeks and hold you up when you are weak Break up all those dreams We'll put them in a box for us to hold Been picking at the seams And sewing many stitches to turn pictures of our wishes into gold As the thunder breaks and the rain is close behind You are always on my mind You are always on my mind

How many mothers have to lose their baby child How many others have been cast into the wild I hope we see it See it when we look away How many men will throw themselves out into wars How many people will be washed upon those shores I hope we see it See it when we look away In desperate times To see these lives expire To the darkest falls The darkest of all hours We'll see it now We'll see it, when we come and let the dark in, yes we'll see it now. How many precious harmless spirits been erased How many peaceful people lost to hates disease I hope we see it See it when we look away In desperate times To see these lives expire To the darkest falls The darkest of all hour We'll see it now We'll see it, when we come and let the dark in, yes we'll see it now.

Healing Now 03:18
It took me a while to carefully look Examine the pages of this unfolding book But I didn't see it The trees for the wood The earth for the landscape The bad for the good I'm healing now I'm healing now I'm healing now my friend And though I've been scared To see what's inside I start to surrender to the strength of the tide The truth that suspends me The truth that resides The love that will heal me While the con-artists hide I'm healing now I'm healing now I'm healing now my friend So come and find me I'm up on my hill A love fool for tender A teacup to fill I'm healing now I'm healing now I'm healing now my friend

In sorrow I'll sing a song for you In sorrow survey the things you do Cos you've been displaying your facade In sorrow for your own lonely heart Cos you can't see past the stones you throw. Cos in this world you walk alone Cos you can't see past the stones you throw Cos in this world you walk alone Emotion, you cruise around the street Unsettled it's tripping on your feet And angry at all you've had to bare Unable to think that they might care Cos you can't see past the stones you throw. Cos in this world you walk alone Cos you can't see past the stones you throw Cos in this world you walk alone Cos in this world you walk alone Cos in this world you walk alone

NAKED ON MY OWN As my eyelids open up As the notion brings it home I've been fighting with my fears I've been brawling on my own Waging wars to reignite all that love has overthrown And we all fall down So come grab my open hand Drag me through the darkest rain Through this harsh and brutal land Through this unforgiving pain Take my tired and thinning bones And pull me from my chains And we all fall down Cause if be naked on my own In my crown I'd be naked on my own All alone, I'm naked when I know you're not around So come pull me from this ditch From this bloodied broken pool Break me up and flick the switch Come and ride this stubborn mule Draw a line to make things right, Without writing out a rule Cause if be naked on my own In my crown I'd be naked on my own All alone, I'm naked when I know you're not around
8.
Play it on your magic strings for me Open up the colours, let the loving flutter out like summer Played upon the greatest of all trees Singing to the sky without a breath or reason why Until the earth begins to cry beneath you Play it on your magic strings for me Awakened from your heart, Like every beat was made for dancing freely Fading in the layers of memories Drawing out a line that link the greatest fears and joys together Hammering out the softest melody Bending all the pain until its beauty that remains to treasure Signed and sealed to keep forever Play it on your magic strings for me Singing to the sky without a breath or reason why Until the earth begins to cry beneath you
9.
I saw you today, with your band of brothers All twitches and brawn and eager to fight But you’re not the same No you’re not like those others Go fly with love on your side As night meets the dawn Like warm melting butter A welcoming yawn to open the sky It’s true what they say You look like your mother Go fly with love on your side I’m sorry to say I should have better I’m sorry to say I could have done more But you’ll be ok The worlds yours to discover Go fly with love on your side
10.
Drop Away 03:32
So Drop Away Where you are mine So Lift me up into this cold and blackened sky So fall in deep Into the tides To love me more than I could ever even try This glowing lamp This open room It heals me gently Breaking through So drop away Till all is quiet Until the dust and foolish lust at last expired Don’t borrow grief, ill show you how Don’t chase the beasts or feaful thoughts in darker hours This glowing lamp, this open room It heals me gently breaking through
