Dream 03:43
lyrics
Dream, they told me to dream Dream, and so I dreamed Cause you were the angel sent to open my heart Love so strong, we were never apart, and I dreamed, yes I dreamed Chorus: Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, you were my cocoon, My sweet loving angel, you were my shelter from the rain Dream, oh how we dreamed Dream, yes we loved to dream, Cause you came and held me, made me part of your song, Love so strong, how could it go wrong, and we dreamed, yes we dreamed Chorus Dream, you know I’m still going to dream Dream, it’s so important to dream Without love around us, there’s no place to go We have to believe, what else is there to know? So lets dream, dream, lets dream Chorus Dream, dream, lets all dream, lets all dream Think about what do you want, what do you need, How do you want to live? Dream, dream, it’s so important to dream, lets all dream Lets all dream

Stay 04:58
lyrics
The first throws of love, that very first kiss The tightness in my belly as I try to resist Our souls are dancing, as they begin to entwine Yes our souls are dancing, as they begin to shine How can it be that I’ve been here before, but it feels like the first time that I’ve known it all My hands are shaking, my hearts open wide And my soul is dancing, as it begins to shine, as it begins to entwine Chorus: Cause there’s something in your smile, something in your way, Something in your smile, that makes me want to ask you, ask you to stay (won’t you just) stay (I’d like you to) stay We could, take some time, drink some wine, stare out to sea feel ourselves unwind, The wind in our hair, our fingers entwined Read to the other from each of our books, sing some songs give each other a look, And find ways to say, how much we care Chorus Perfection’s not something that I create, it’s something that comes, I just had to wait I was trying so hard to make it OK, now I’ve given it some time, and it has come my way, yes it has come my way Chorus I’ve got the love, I’ve got the peace, I’ve got the smiles under morning sheets I’ve got the quivers down my spine, I’ve got the shivers that Make you mine, Yes they make you mine, and I still shine, yes I still shine

Gliding (Ups and Downs) 04:03
lyrics
Life is all ups and downs And I can feel them coming round And it helps me to know they just come and go And when I feel the down coming round I can get scared that I might drown But it helps me to know they just come and go Chorus: Cause we were meant to be free Elevate ourselves with belief Like a bird soaring high on the waves of the air Gliding, gliding, gliding Lets imagine ourselves gliding That feeling of being free Living with our hearts and our souls Letting things come and go For if imagination is a thought Then we can manifest it all And surely we will know to just let it come and go Chorus: Life is all ups and downs And I can feel them coming round And it helps me to know they just come and go Lets imagine ourselves gliding That feeling of being free Living with our hearts and our souls Letting things come and go Letting things come and go...

Free to Love 04:15
lyrics
Free to love, free to be, free to have you look at me Free to laugh, free to cry, free to have emotions high Free to touch, free to go, free to see how life unfolds Free, I’m feeling free ee ee What you gonna do with that smile? Is it directed my way what are you trying to say So you think your gonna just, pass my way With a touch of the hand, electricity stands The closeness of touch can you feel it I’m free, being me, and I’d be a fool to be charmed by your manly commands, I’m feeling free, free So you give your smile another try, I’ll play your game for a while but it won’t be for long Cause I’m free, being me, And your attracted to that but I won’t be your catch, I’ll be walking away Free to love, free to be, free to have you look at me Free to laugh, free to cry, free to have emotions high Free to touch, free to go, free to see how life unfolds Free, I’m feeling free ee ee

Rhythm in My Bones 04:11
lyrics
See the old woman, sat all patient on her own What’s her life story, has it ever, ever been told Do you think she might be lonely, or do you think she’s had a ball Is she happy with her choices, do you think she’s got it all? Cause she’s got rhythm in her bones, won’t leave her alone A vibration going down to her core And the life that she leads, reflects the love she needs And her rhythm comes alive on the floor Chorus: Cause I've got rhythm in her bones, won’t leave me alone It’s a vibration going down to my core And the life that I lead, reflects the love I need And my rhythm comes alive on the floor If we could all connect to our rhythm, Just imagine what we could create With the freedom in our hearts, we could manifest the stars And peace would never be erased See the old woman, sat all patient on her own What’s her life story, has it ever, ever been told Do you think she might be lonely, or do you think she’s had a ball Is she happy with her choices, do you think she’s got it all? Chorus If we could all connect to our rhythm, Just imagine what we could create With the freedom in our hearts, we could manifest the stars And peace would never be erased So lets all connect to our rhythm, and imagine what we can create, right here, right now With the freedom in our hearts, we can manifest the stars And peace will never be erased Yes peace will never be erased Yes peace will never be erased

In My Head 05:30
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been using the world of attraction, most of my life As a way of distracting from the loneliness I felt inside, I felt inside Just a little look here, a little smile there Enough to make me feel like he really cared, like he really cared But a pattern was forming needed turning around, Didn’t want the voice of loneliness to distract me from what was sound Cause he wasn’t James Dean, no he wasn’t Johnny Depp That was all just a little game I was playing in my head, in my head Chorus: And ohhh, I had exactly what I need Just needed to feed the strength in me, Yes, ohhh, I had exactly what I need Just needed to feed the strength in me I’ve listened to the voice of loneliness and you know it’s really not that bad The fear of what it had to say is what made me feel so sad Cause I needed to feel needed, I needed to feel love But I’m the one that needed me and you know fake love is not enough, its not enough Chorus: I know I can be happy now because I’ve found some faith in me No longer scared of loneliness or how it’s going to be And if I feel it coming I can open up my door Cause it gives me strength and lets me know that I deserve more, I deserve more Chorus: And ohhh, I have exactly what I need Just needed to feed the strength in me, Ohhh, have exactly what I need someone who inspires me Yes, ohhh, I have exactly what I need Someone who has faith in me Faith in me

Blinded 05:15
lyrics

Blinded by people, blinded by faith, Blinded by the corporations throwing about their weight Blinded by religion, blinded by war Blinded by the politicians settling their scores Confused by people, disappointed with love Why is it so many of just seem to have no luck Hurt by decisions, withdrawn with pain Frightened that life itself just seems to have no gain Chorus: Cause if we don’t write our own fait, If we don’t write our own fait If we don’t open the blinds, it’s hard to be awake If we don’t write our own fait, if we don’t write our own fait If we don’t put down the lines, what destiny awaits Saddened by conflict and filled with rage Trying to mend the pieces of someone else’s game Longing for closeness, but scared to touch Surely we must reach the point when we have had enough Chorus Cause if we open our minds, and clean the slate Take a step back from the fear If we open our minds, what can we create, what can we create What can we create Encouraged by people, enriched by faith Enlightened by the corporations throwing about their weight Supported by religion, educated through war Empowered by the politicians settling their scores Cause when we write down our own fait, when we write down our own fait, When we open up the blinds, we keep ourselves awake, When we write down our own fait It's time to write down, it's time to write down yeh It's time to write down, lets start writing down our own fait Lets start writing our own fait

Seagulls 03:52
lyrics
Sea the clouds drifting as they come into ponder, Oh to be drifting The wind goes right through me and it breaks down my armor, Oh to be drifting Chorus: And the seagulls fly so high, the wind carries them for miles There wing span spread so wide How they fly See the corn glisten as the wind paints its picture Oh what a picture The clouds form the shade, the sun lifts and glimmers Oh what a picture Chorus And who are we to know, who are we to steal, this beauty that belongs to us all When did we lose our way, create our own unique wheel, We are not the only ones that feel We are not the only ones, we are not the only ones We are not the only ones that feel Sea the clouds drifting as they come into ponder, Oh to be drifting The wind goes right through me and it breaks down my armor, Oh to be drifting Chorus How they fly, how they fly…

Sense of Something (Searching) 03:50
lyrics
I’ve been searching for a feeling Searching for a feeling Searching for a feeling that I somehow know I look across the room, there’s an angel in my sights No words can say, can half explain, what I feel inside Cause I’ve been searching for a feeling Searching for a feeling Searching for a feeling that I somehow know And when I get that feeling I think it’s gonna grow I look across the room and see into those eyes So full of kindness, it’s hard to face them He reaches for me and hold my head up high I can see a sense of somethingness and I’m embracing Yes I’m embracing Cause I’ve been searching for a feeling Searching for a feeling Searching for a feeling that I somehow know And when I get that feeling I think it’s gonna grow Cause that feeling its connected, connected to my soul.

I am sat all alone in my living room And I am looking at the picture of me and you And it makes me smile (makes me smile) cause you’ll soon be near And the room feels so big with only me here Chorus: Cause you fill up my space, you light up my life Yes you fill up my space, light up my life Light up light up, light up light up, light up, light up You light up my life Well I'm in my own world just thinking of you My own beautiful world just thinking of you And what a life to be part of So deep the love, two souls entwined Light up light up, light up light up, light up, light up You light up my life, ohh Chorus: Light up my life, ohh Light up my life, ohh Light up my life

Balance to Be 04:45
lyrics
The balance to be, yet create our own truth Is a difficult path and one we all have to do Do we crumble and fall, or do we make ourselves strong When it all seems confused and the essence seems gone Do we need to decide, which way we should go Or should we just live our lives and let the future unfold? Chorus: Cause we all have our path, we all have our truth It comes deep from our souls, and our fear can make us confused But if I fly so high to get the angels view That’s when I know exactly what to do Which way to turn when the essence has gone Do we crumble and fall or do we make ourselves strong Is it OK to feel all the things that I feel Or should I hide them away, not reveal the ordeal Do we need to decide, which way we should go Or should we just live our lives and let the future be told? Chorus The balance to be, yet create our own truth Is a difficult path and one we all have to do When it all seems so wrong, so intense and confused Just take a step back, get the angels view Cause it OK to be, whoever we are Confused, mad and loving they can all play a part Chorus
