The Dance 03:53

The mystery, the mystery of the mountain The mystery the sea reveals is time And everybody’s wasting their stardust When too unaware to join in the dance The dance, the dance, the dance, the dance Wooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh Wooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh The secrets of the mountain The mystery the sea reveals is time In time, is time In time, it’s time And just as we are made of stardust Stardust is made of you and I You and I, you and I Flowing to the beat of precious time You and I, you and I We are oh so rich as as long as we don’t stop Darkness takes a turn and then, it’s starlight And everything inside becomes a song Light and dark and light and dark and light now Let’s enjoy it while the music lasts Feel the joy as we become the dance You and I, you and I Flowing to the beat of precious time You and I, you and I We are oh so rich as long as we don’t stop Darkness takes a turn and then, it’s starlight And everything inside becomes a song Light and dark and light and dark and light now Let’s enjoy it while the music lasts Feel the joy as we become the dance The dance, the dance, the dance, the dance Feel the joy as we become

Do You Right 03:25
lyrics

She steps up to the mic with trembling legs and heart As echoes of their laughter fill the spaces in her mind Voices from the past say this life is just for some And you would be much better as a waitress in a bar Her fears naked as she sings in black and white But her voice gives her wings to soar up high And nothing else will do her right He dances in his room, the shadows keep him safe Thinks he never will be brave enough to do it on a stage His fears naked as he dances in the dark And his next door neighbor cries as she hides her poetry Underneath her bed where the ghosts inside her head say it should be Her fears naked as she writes in black and white But her words give her wings to soar up high And his dance gives him wings to soar up high And nothing else will do them right They face their father like they never thought they would, “Hey, here’s the truth and you can take it if you want” Let’s not give more time to pretending that we are not who we are ‘Cause life’s too short to not be light, and proud ‘Cause your pride gives you wings to soar up high And nothing else will do you right Yes, your pride gives you wings to soar up high And nothing else will do you right Nothing else will do you right Do you right

It’s 3 am I’m sitting at the piano trying to begin To write a song that’s gonna make it all make sense, Again It’s 3 am And instead of counting sheep I’m summoning the fae ‘Cause I wanna say something that won’t let you forget My name I’ve been waiting all my life Yearning for something I can’t place The greatest luxury is time Is mine wasted on this chase? And I want you to know It isn’t easy letting go I keep pressing my nose Against the mirror to your world It’s 3 am I wish the day was longer but this night won’t end Until I find the words that match the soundtrack In my head It’s 3 am And the traps I planted in my backyard caught fairytales But some are old and most are dead And it’s too late to change the bait I’ve been waiting all my life Yearning for something I can’t place The greatest luxury is time Is mine wasted on this chase? And I want you to know It isn’t easy letting go I keep pressing my nose Against the mirror to your world It’s 3 am And I know you’re drinking about me And you see my face And I wish your heart beats faster When you stop to hear me sing

Sorry 04:04

Sorry I didn’t help carry your load Sorry I wasn’t the hand that won’t let go But I didn’t know, no I didn’t know You know when you know and not a second before Yes, you know when you know, not a second before could you understand what sadly now I can You were scorned And like a stranger looking in I wasn’t sure If I should let myself within Your heart’s torn walls But still now you’re right there for me Sorry I didn’t share your darkest night But I never knew The world could be so dark I left you alone in there (so dark) I left you alone I left you alone in there (so dark) I left you alone You were scorned And like a stranger looking in I wasn’t sure If I should let myself within Your heart’s torn walls But still now you’re right there for me You were scorned And like a stranger looking in I wasn’t sure If I should let myself within Your heart’s torn walls But still now you’re right here for me I left you alone in there (so dark) I left you alone I left you alone in there (so dark) I left you alone But I didn’t know

On Silver Wings 04:10

On silver wings, one silver night Riding ‘til morning comes On silver wings, one silver night Riding ‘til morning comes If you stop breathing, you get cold When the tick tick tick tick tick tock stops When the angel comes along Given he can grant us no more time Given he can grant us no more time He’ll pity me and take us together On silver wings to a place where we can be Together, forever Oh, to believe! What freedom, how sweet! How beautiful, how unafraid! But alas, wishing it won’t make it true But oh, how much easier it would be Oh, to believe! On silver wings, one silver night Riding ‘til morning comes On silver wings, one silver night Riding ‘til morning comes I should’ve kept a diary Of all the little magic things you did ‘cause I do not want to forget This can’t dissolve into the universe The constellations in your eyes And how our love it will endure the flickering of space and time On silver wings to a place where we can be Together, forever Oh, to believe! What freedom, how sweet! How beautiful, how unafraid! But alas, wishing it won’t make it true But oh, how much easier it would be Oh, to believe! Oh, to believe! Oh, to believe! Like something silver in the sun, I bet it’s warm On silver wings, one silver night Riding ‘til morning comes On silver wings, one silver night Riding ‘til morning comes

Feel It 05:36
lyrics

I was so willingly enchanted But it wasn’t true, perhaps it was an odd way Of making real things soak in dreamscapes But I wasn’t true, or maybe it was you Who got me lost deep in those eyes that cold December I thought that flying would be a problem without feathers But I was not the one to cry those lonely rivers And you could never find the me behind your mirror Mine was a guarded heart And boy, they could never touch it But it did look so good on you But like the leaves of every tree that changes color, We fall away, far away from each other Frontiers keep changing through the kaleidoscope Made up of tears you never cried before But now the tears are in the strange form Of a place you knew but never came from But I wasn’t home, and I was so scared Wasn’t in the know, and if I knew the why, Why would I ever be afraid of what I say, Of what I do Please be strong if I bleed this stain on you Where you could never find it Please don’t tell the secret to the ones that hide inside me when I’m not looking so tender But now you know the pain and will you take that, Use it against me or will you be kind, be sweet And understand the sting is now beyond the skin Be kind, lend a hand to the one that once was perfect to you and then was so imperfect you could never forgive if I don’t kneel, if I don’t heave If I don’t say that I was so so bad And now I turn away, when I see you I restrain ‘cause ‘Cause I would never want to be remembered of how I cared For something that was not there, for something that was unreal It sure did fill me with shame but Then from the artic came this magic man, he said “You can be anything you want, anything you dream You already are, actually, you already are, my dear You just have to let it shine, and you just have to let it show And you just have to never hide because you’re worth it You’re worth the time, you’re worth the space You’re worth the diamonds in these very hands You’re worth the quasars and the universes And the teardrops from the planets coming down to Earth ‘cause You are made of everything and everything is made of you and coming back to you, and coming back to me, And coming back to be, and coming back to combat, to come back, back down to us Where everything is everything, and everything is what you are, you are HERE Feel it? That’s how you know you’re here That’s how you know you’re here Feel it? (feel it) FEEL IT”
