Have you ever, seen the man

Living from his, mouth to hand?

Never giving, up the fight.

Never seeming to know wrong from right

Have you seen him, throwing stares?

Thinking that it’s, only fair

But the damage that he, does is deep.

So tonight he will not get to sleep.

Nothing’s ever right or wrong (so give it up)

Waves are crashing on the shore (so fill your cup)

Life goes on but still we wonder

Are we there yet?

Have you ever, seen the girl?

Living in her, lonely world

Thinking that this, can’t be real.

Knowing that it hurts too much to feel.

Have you seen her, standing there?

Moving through the, open air.

Fending off what, can’t be saved.

Dreaming of a day she will escape.

Nothing’s ever right or wrong (so give it up)

Waves are crashing on the shore (so fill your cup)

Life goes on but still we wonder

Are we there yet?

But when we, turn around, nothing’s there, to be found.

So forget, all the years, that you’ve wasted in fear.

Then concede and take heed, of the only thing worth giving up.

So you say you’ve, got a plan.

And you’re doing, what you can.

But no-one can, see an end.

And they think you never leave your bed.

And your neighbour's, got it made.

He never needs to, work a day.

But he sleeps, alone tonight.

Wondering “Has he done this right?”

Nothing’s ever right or wrong (so give it up)

Waves are crashing on the shore (so fill your cup)

Life goes on but still we wonder

Are we there yet?

Isn’t it fine how we spend our time,

Just to buy it all back at the end.

Isn’t it fun-ny how we’re all undone,

When there’s everything left for us to do

All I want to see,

Is the depth of the in-between.

In this world it’s seldom seen,

For long or for free.

Isn’t it worth a lot to know without a doubt

You are exactly where you should be when you’re down an out

There is a simple art; how to look deep inside

A choice we all must make, not to run and not to hide

All I want to see,

Is the depth of the in-between.

In this world it’s seldom seen,

For long or for free.

Under an open page, lives a mystery,

It’s waiting to be tamed, by those, with eyes to see.

Alone it’s hard to find, meaning in the dark

So join me on this quest of making fire, from a spark.

All I want to see,

Is the depth of the in-between.

In this world it’s seldom seen,

For long or for free.

All I want to do,

Is sail this ship that’s built for two,

I’ll sail it far across the seas,

Of love and truth.

Holding on

To what has come and gone

Does us little good

And this is understood

But to live it out

Without a doubt

Is a recipe

For living free

All of this time is now

All of this time is now

All of the greatest dreams

Come from people like you and me

Share the word

And make it heard

For through this act

We come to know

What is truly real

What do we feel?

When the whole world turns away

There is nothing left to say

All of this time is now

All of this time is now

All of the greatest dreams

Come from people like you and me

So be kind

And take your time

But sitting still

You’ll fall behind

And idle hands

Cannot withstand

The breaking wave of time

It's a force you can't deny

All of this time is now

All of this time is now

All of the greatest dreams

Come from people like you and me

Born, in to, a beautiful world, waiting to unfurl,

You come with nothing but eyes loving,

Curious and knowing, only body showing.

When, along, comes the need to know, what is this old show,

The actors know not what they’re saying,

The script is a mess the director misbehaving

Don’t think twice, you are welcome to arrive,

Come inside, we’re all waiting.

Don’t be shy, even if you were outside,

Nothing will, stop your heart from breaking.

Through we sail, roughed up by the seas and unwanted company,

Whatever doesn’t kill you,

Will only make you stronger, so wait a little longer

Soon, the end, was it all a dream or variations on a theme,

All this sweat and sorrow,

Made by the weight of searching for tomorrow

Don’t think twice, you are welcome to arrive,

Come inside, we’re all waiting.

Don’t be shy, even if you were outside,

Nothing will, stop your heart from breaking.

You can’t keep going over and over

You’re only growing older and older

Having to carry a chip on your shoulder

You can’t keep growing old.

Don’t think twice, you are welcome to arrive,

Come inside, we’re all waiting.

Don’t be shy, even if you were outside,

Nothing will, stop your heart from breaking.

My advice, is this is all just a ride,

Though sometimes, your soul is aching,

Keep in mind, the paradise you’ve left behind,

You return, with every breath you're taking.

It’s getting late, the sun’s too low

To tempt our fate, to start the show

But pack your bags and say goodbyes

Like birds gone south we’ll have to fly

The journey home is long

All I’ve seen and everywhere

I’ve been, cannot compare, does not come close

To the dreaded journey home

Now as we move from town to town

Don’t dare look up, keep your head down

Ooh we must not let anyone know

Yeah that we are on our journey home

The journey home is long

All I’ve seen and everywhere

I’ve been, cannot compare, does not come close

To the dreaded journey home

And as we pass, on through the gate

No-one appears, it’s not too late

To turn around, to run and hide

At least we came, at least we tried

The journey home is long

All I’ve seen and everywhere

I’ve been, cannot compare, does not come close

To the dreaded journey home

If you stop and look outside

Stare into the sprawling wild

Then look inside and see

These four walls and windows too

Another place inside of you

But what is obstructing the view

I don’t own no machines they got me hooked I know the feeling

Don’t give it or take it just tolerate it then turn the page and lose the meaning

Is there more you want to be

A little more you’d like to see

Is it possible

That you can turn the rising tide

When there’s nowhere left to hide

From the coldest truth

I don’t own no machines they got me hooked I know the feeling

Don’t give it or take it just tolerate it then turn the page and lose the meaning

Machines and me throughout history not friend or foe but a search for freedom

I don’t own no machines they got me hooked I know the feeling

What is it we’re looking for

The key to unlock this door

To the other side

But on the other side we find

It’s ourselves we’ve lost while trying

To capture something new

I don’t own no machines they got me hooked I know the feeling

Don’t give it or take it just tolerate it then turn the page and lose the meaning

Machines and me throughout history not friend or foe but a search for freedom

I don’t own no machines they got me hooked I know the feeling

I know the feeling

Born free

Live bound

The machine in me

Hardly makes a sound

Free,

Free as the wind blows,

Free as the grass grows,

On all that is given.

Is ours,

As far as the eye can see,

Short as the weary breathes,

On earth in heaven.

Isn’t it a perfect world when we finally take our time?

See what is taking over and abating all this life.

Come if you want to sing if you’re going to,

Free your mind.

Take,

A moment to perceive,

The thought that brought you here,

The one and only,

Place,

From which there is no return,

A chance to be reborn,

A story unspoken.

Isn’t it a perfect world when we finally take our time?

See what is taking over and abating all this life.

Come if you want to sing if you’re going to,

Free your mind.

So,

So we think it’s all the same,

And we go

To what we have named,

Once again we find, peace of mind.

Here,

We’ve come to forget,

All we’ve learnt before,

To rediscover,

A path,

To walk until the end,

Gather up more regrets,

Learn to love them.

Isn’t it a perfect world when we finally take our time?

See what is taking over and abating all this life.

Come if you want to sing if you’re going to,

Free your mind.

Why would you leave this place, head off into the big unknown?

Isn’t it safer, the dust has settled, everything’s overgrown?

Once you close the door, turn the corner, you’re out in the cold,

Rambling down the street you remember, everything you’ve ever been told.

Don’t forget the,

Simple recipe.

It’ll set you free;

Come back home.

Will you go for a little stroll? Have you left for good?

Have you chosen why? Are you blinded by the coulds the woulds the shoulds?

Right and wrong, take so long, it’s overwhelm.

It’s easier to let another read the map and take the helm.

Don’t forget the,

Simple recipe.

It’ll set you free;

Come back home.

Don’t start fighting,

Into the night time,

Now is the right time.

To come back home.

And if you can’t go on, sing a song that you know is true.

And if you’re far away from the light of day then I’ll say to you.

It’s gonna hurt, the pain sets in, there’s no end in sight.

Walking up the stairs, the front door opens and you step into the light.

Familiar faces, from far off places hits you like a wall.

Home is where you can despair and find, the courage to stand tall.

Don’t forget the,

Simple recipe.

It’ll set you free;

Come back home.

Don’t start fighting,

Into the night time,

Now is the right time.

Come back home.

Once you feel it,

Never conceal it,

Only reveal that,

You’ve come back home.

Then say to me,

I’ll never disagree,

Finally I see

I’ve come back home

Do you know, anyone in the world who’s alone?

See them stroll, through the park, on a cold damp night.

In their minds, though they look quite fine on the outside, inside grows…

A little seed, just a drop in an ocean of love.

Just a seed, is enough to stop all the ground, from breaking apart.

Holding on, to the branches, legs all dangling as the ground falls away.

And if you feel, you’re alone,

And the house of cards, you call home.

Is built on, sinking sand,

Close your tired eyes, take my hand.

Watch it grow, like an explosion in slo-mo.

First the leaves, then the stem unfolds in perfect, versions of Phi.

To the sky, multiply unyielding to the forces of gravity.

And if you feel, you’re alone,

And the house of cards, you call home.

Is built on, sinking sand,

Close your tired eyes, take my hand.

If we could, just observe all the rings in their dance,

To the periphery, wouldn’t we see ourselves in the passing of time, what’s the chance.

Of actually, waking up from the dream that there will come a, to-morrow.

And if you feel, you’re alone,

And the house of cards, you call home.

Is built on, sinking sand,

Close your tired eyes, take my hand. 

If all you want and all you seek

Is not within me

I will lie by your side and be

What you want me to be

Some might say I would agree

That this should never be

Can we help who we are

Even if it leaves us scarred?

Stop and think, if we all gave up

What a kind gentle touch, would remain

There is no end, to this wicked starting point

I can’t go on in this old game, anymore

For every don’t, there is a do

You know it’s true

For every look, there is a cue

In the book with all the rules

Sit and wait forever gone

Until you can belong

Because I love because you care we see

This is never fair.

Stop and think, if we all gave up

What a kind gentle touch, would remain

There is no end, to this wicked starting point

I can’t go on in this old game, anymore

I’ll just say what’s on my mind

And trust that you will find

Life’s too short, and too mixed up to play

This old game

Stop and think, if we all gave up

What a kind gentle touch, would remain

There is no end, to this wicked starting point

I can’t go on in this old game, anymore

All of a sudden I knew life is all about happiness

With your time here you’ve gotta get the most of it all

If you dwell on how infinitely incredibly small we are

You’ll just be missing, never living, keeping yourself from the world

So, don’t be tied

To your ideas

Though you try

Meet the people ask them questions find out how life is like for them

They are just like you even if you choose to deny

Made up of all there is no more no less the same we are all inside

So free to choose and think I often find there’s a lack of peace in the mind

So, don’t be tied

To your ideas

Though you must try

All light that falls from the sky,

Only wants to pass us by

We seek to capture all to not die in vain

Given we are just one life

At a time take just one breath

Upright always striving, not to be pulled

Down, down, buried under ground

Oh in the end, nothing really matters

Like a desert wind, we’ll all be gone,

To another…

To life you give your meaning

The lines you read between them

Chapters always end with a question such as

What matters more than the gift

You give to others to lift

Them up when the whole world wants to see them,

Down, down, buried under ground

Oh in the end, nothing really matters

Like a desert wind, we’ll all be gone,

To another…

After life has played its game,

Our souls try to leave the stage

Efforts lost in beyond an edge-less pond

No one comes back from the other side

Messages lost though we have tried

Leaving the key underneath mystery

It’s down, down, buried under ground

Oh in the end, nothing really matters

Like a desert wind, we’ll all be gone,

To another…
