WHO FINDS LOVE



WHO FINDS LOVE

WRITTEN BY

2020


SUMMER CAME

WITH PROMISE OF SUN

WATCHING THE SMOKE

CURL UP THROUGH THE TREES

TO A PALE MOON BEYOND

THE RIVER TOUCHES MY EAR

WOKEN BY THE BREEZE


WHO FINDS LOVE

WATCHES IT GROW

HOPES IT NEVER COMES TO

GOODBYE

BACK TO THE FLAMES I FIND ME

FACE DOWN IN THE STARS

HOW DO I FEEL INSIDE

LOOK AT MY FACE

I CAN'T HIDE IT

THERE'S ONLY YOU

TO CONFIDE IN

OR KEEP IT ALL TO MYSELF

MY SECRETS INSIDE

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WISE

THAT'S NO WAY TO GET BY


AS LONG AS THERE'S HOPE

LEFT TO BELIEVE

WE CAN NEVER GIVE UP

WE CAN NEVER LEAVE

ANYTHING TO CHANCE


DO YOU REALIZE

YOU'RE THE ONE

DANCING RIGHT ON

THE EDGE OF A CLOUD

COME ON CLOSER

TAKE MY HAND

IT ALL MATTERS SO MUCH

AS LONG AS I'M WITH YOU

TRUTH BE KNOWN

BROUGHT TO LIGHT

NOTHING MATTERS

SO MUCH AS YOU


MY LOVE RISES LIKE THE SUN

MY EMOTIONS TOUCH THE STARS

THE VASTNESS OF THE UNIVERSE

LEAVES US SO SMALL

ITS A WONDER WE CAN MAKE

ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL

YOU KNOW WE'LL STILL TRY

AS LONG AS THERE'S A REASON WHY


WHO FINDS LOVE

WATCHES IT GROW

MY EYES SEE

RIGHT INTO YOUR SOUL

MUCH LIKE YOURS DOES MINE

NO SECRETS BETWEEN US

NO THAT WALLS BEEN REMOVED

ALL THE SHADOWS SEE THE LIGHT

WHO FINDS LOVE

WHEN IT CAN'T HIDE

WHAT WHEN SHE DOES



WHAT WHEN SHE DOES

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2020


FROM START TO FINISH

FROM SIDE TO SIDE

ITS BEEN QUITE THE JOURNEY

A BIT OF A ROUGH RIDE

ANGELS MUST OF SUFFERED

WATCHING OVER ME

WISHED I'D OF JUST

LET SOME THINGS BE


THE WIND WASN'T ALWAYS

AT MY BACK

SO MANY ROADS TO CHOOSE

SOME YA WIN SOME YA LOSE

LOST RIGHT THERE IN

THE CLOUDS OF CONFUSION

TURNED AROUND

DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO

MAYBE ANGELS SAVED MY SOUL

MY SKIN

GOT ME GOING AGAIN


THE MEMORIES I HOLD CLOSE

ARE THE TIMES

WHEN IT WAS CLEAR SAILING

A BEAUTIFUL SKY

AND EVERY REASON

TO FEEL ALIVE

A HEART FULL OF HOPE

SOMETIMES LOVE

YOU RISE YOU FALL

YOU TOUCH IT ALL

EVERYTHING

BOUND TO BREAK

COME UNDONE

SCATTERED ON THE WIND

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

SOME DAY I'LL LEARN

YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT BURNING

I FEEL IT TURNING

PULLING ME FROM DARKNESS

SHINING A LIGHT

DRAWING ME IN

BECAUSE IT FINALLY CAN


SOMETHING TO PONDER

GIVE ME PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

LONG ENOUGH

TO SEE WHAT I'VE GOT

MAYBE IT WAS ENOUGH

BUT NOW I NEED MORE

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE

AT STAKE

ITS NOT JUST ABOUT ME ANYMORE

LOVE FINDS ME CHANGING FOR GOOD

WATER SEEPING DOWN

WEARING ME THROUGH

ONLY LOVE LEFT OVER

TO SEE ME THROUGH

I KNOW SHES TRYING TO SAVE ME

SO WHAT WHEN SHE DOES

ALMOST STEALING TIME


ALMOST STEALING TIME

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2020


STILL IN THE VALLEY

THE WIND BLOWS ON THE HILLS

TIME MOVING WITH THE SKY

BLINK AND TEN YEARS GOES RIGHT BY

AS IF YOU WERE STANDING STILL

TEN MORE AND I STILL

HAVEN'T HAD MY FILL

NO GOING BACK NO DO OVERS

ITS ALL STRAIGHT AHEAD

IS WHAT THEY SAID


WE'RE ALREADY IN WE PAID OUR WAY

WE PAVED THE ROAD TO MAKE IT SMOOTH

AN EASY DREAM

TO CARRY TO THE OTHER SIDE

WHEN WE REACH THERE


THE SANDS OF TIME ARE RUNNING FASTER NOW

NOT LIKE IN TIMES OF YORE

ALMOST STANDING STILL

ALMOST STEALING TIME

WISHING YOU WERE ALREADY GONE

BUT INSTEAD YOU FIND

YOU'RE STILL THERE DREAMING

YOU HOLD ON YOU LET GO

OF EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR

A LONELY SEND OFF

AND ITS ALL SO CLEAR

I'M NO LONGER NEEDED HERE


GUESS I WASN'T MEANT TO STAY

DRIFTING FROM HERE TO THERE

OVER MOUNTAINS AND SEA

THROUGH HEAVY WOOD

AND CLEAR STREAMS

THE SILENCE NO MACHINES

NO ONE TALKING IN MY EAR

ONLY WHAT I WAS MEANT TO HEAR


REDISCOVER BRING BACK NEAR

HEALING TIME THEN

I'VE GOT TO FIND SOME ANSWERS

ALMOST STANDING STILL

ITS JUST  ILLUSION

TEN YEARS MORE SLIP BY

IN THE CONFUSION

TEN TRUE SUMMERS THAT COULD OF BEEN

ANYTHING

CAUGHT YOU UNAWARE

IN SOME WAYS YOU'RE STILL THERE

WAITING ALMOST STEALING TIME

FLAME


FLAME

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2020

ITS GETTING DARK I CAN'T SEE

A BEAUTIFUL DREAM

SCATTERS IN BITS OF LIGHT

WASN'T I SUPPOSED TO SEE

SO MUCH A PART

HOW COULD THAT BE

JUST GONE ALL AT ONCE LIKE THAT

SOON AS IT FADES AWAY

LEAVES ALL THE CHOICE WORDS

I JUST HAVE TO SAY



I KNOW THERE'S TOMORROW

NO SENSE IN LIVING

IN YESTERDAYS SORROW

NO TIME TO STOP FOR THE RAIN

EACH DAY BLENDS INTO THE NEXT

KIND OF WHAT I EXPECTED

SELF ELECTED

TO CARRY THE FLAME

BURY THE STONE OF BURDEN

FREE AND LIGHT TO GO

TO BE, TO SEE THE WAY FROM HERE

STEAL AWAY JUST RIDE THE WIND

TO SOMETHING NEW


YOU CAN SHAKE ME TO MY VERY CORE

BUT I WON'T CHANGE MY DIRECTION

LOOKING GLASS

THAT'S NOT MY REFLECTION

I CAN'T STAND STILL

I CAN'T STAY TO GET MY FILL

UNTIL I TRULY FEEL

THERE'S NO MORE WISHING

FOR ANYMORE THAN TOMORROW

COMING STEAL AWAY

TO SOMETHING NEW

THAT KIND OF SOMETHING NEW


LET ME PLAY IN THE SUN

RUN IN THE SAND

INTO THE SEA

TWO HEARTS A HARMONY

TASTE THE SALT WHEN I KISS YOUR HAND

WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

JUST AS WE PLANNED

WHEN WE ARE THERE

THERE'S NO MORE UNCERTAINTY

NO DESPAIR

ALL THE TIME TO REPAIR

ALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE

SOMETHING NEW TO FEEL TO FILL

EMBRACE



E M B R A C E


WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2020



STORMY SKIES OF GRAY

THE LIGHTNING THE THUNDER

THE RAIN

THE SWEET RAINBOW

WHEN THE SUN COMES BACK AGAIN

THE STARS THE MOON SO MUCH

TO FEEL THESE THINGS

JUST AS YOUR LOVE

I HOLD IT ALL I CAN'T LET GO



THINGS I CANNOT SEE

THE THINGS I CAN

SEE OUR LOVE TURN TO GOLD

I KNOW I'VE WON

MY HEART IS SOLD

TELL ME YOURS IS TOO

FOUR BARE FEET IN THE MORNING DEW


AND LOVE IS GATHERING IN THE LIGHT

WAITING UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT

ALL THAT'S LEFT TO ME IS YOU

EVERYBODY IS GONE

ITS ONLY YOU AND I

SO MUCH TO FEEL THESE THINGS IN YOUR HEART

SOMETHING IS MISSING  WHEN WE'RE APART

LIKE HEAVEN WITHOUT ANGELS

LIKE GRAY SKIES THAT JUST WON'T RAIN

OR GIVE UP TO THE SUN


UNTIL I'M BACK AGAIN

ALL MY LOVE TO HOLD

LIKE THE TURNING TIDE

ONCE YOU'RE INSIDE YOU FEEL

ONLY WHAT IS REAL

WHAT MAKES US GROW

OUR HEARTS TOGETHER

CAN YOU HEAR THE SONG

DO YOU EMBRACE IT

AS IT LEAVES YOU IN WONDER

ALL ALONG


THEY SAID OUT WITH THE OLD

EMBRACE THE NEW

BUT STILL THE ANCIENT WAYS

KEEP SHINING THROUGH

A PAGEANT FOR LOVE TO WIN YOUR HAND

I'M A SHOE IN TO WIN

BRING YOU BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN

JUST BECAUSE I CAN

EMBRACE YOU

FEEL THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME

THE WIND THAT DRIVES THE WAVES

DRIES THE SAND

SO IT IS MY HEARTS IN YOUR HANDS

ONLY YOUR LOVE TO FEEL

STILL A WARRIOR



STILL A WARRIOR

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2020


I HAD PLACES TO GO

SO MANY ROADS TO GET THERE

THE BRIDGES THAT I BURNED BEHIND ME

THEY ALL HAD TO GO

A SHOW OF FAITH

THAT MY DIRECTION WOULDN'T CHANGE

ITS ALL STRAIGHT FORWARD FROM HERE



I CAN SEE BELOW ME

HEADED DOWN THIS HILL

I'M IN NO HURRY

THERE'S STILL TIME TO KILL

DREAMS TO COAX ALONG TO LIFE

UNTIL THEIR REAL

BREATHE AND FEEL THE LIGHT

CHORUS:

BETTER NOT TURN AWAY MY ATTENTION

DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT

IT NEVER ENDS, UNTIL YOU DIE

YOU CAN DO THIS IF YOU TRY

STILL A WARRIOR INSIDE

MY HEART STILL ON MY SLEEVE

A LITTLE WORSE FOR THE WEAR

BUT ITS STILL THERE

BEATING A CODE THAT ONLY YOU

WOULD UNDERSTAND

INSIDE MY CIRCLE PART OF MY PLAN


A LITTLE JOY IN MY SOUL

WHEN I KNOW YOU KNOW WHY

YOU AND I HAVE HERE AND NOW

TOMORROWS NOT PROMISED

BUT I CAN HOPE WITH ALL MY HEART

I WILL SEE YOU THERE

I'LL WATCH FOR YOU

HELL OR HIGH WATER

THICK OR THIN

I'LL BE THERE TO THE END

PROMISE I WON'T FADE AWAY ON YOU

I WON'T DRIFT UNTIL I'M GONE

WISHES DIDN'T CARE



WISHES DIDN'T CARE

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2020


I SAW WHAT I NEEDED TO SEE

LET MY GUARD DOWN WHEN I WAS LOW

KNEW I COULD NEVER BE

THE KIND TO SETTLE DOWN

BUT TIME TOOK THE  EDGE OFF

LIKE THE TIDES ENDLESS FLOW

I STOPPED RUNNING

GAVE MY HEART TO CHANCE

ALL CAUTION THROWN TO THE WIND


CRASH OR FLY, ROMANCE OR GOODBYE

CUT MY LOSSES CUT MY TIES

TRY TO LEARN HOW NOT TO HURT INSIDE

YES OR NO, THERE'S NO IN BETWEEN

OH THE THINGS I'VE SEEN

TAKEN AND LEFT BEHIND

SHOULD OF TAKEN MY TIME


SAW WHAT I WANTED IN MY MINDS EYE

BUT THEN I COULDN'T FIND HER

SHE WAS GONE SHE WASN'T THERE

WISHES DIDN'T CARE

SET ME UP FOR FAILURE OR WAS IT ME

YOU GET UP HIGHER YOU CAN SEE

THE ROAD  THAT LEADS AWAY

YOU GET A LITTLE CLOSER EVERYDAY


DECISIONS BEING WEIGHED

TO STAY HERE I CAN SEE

I'M ALREADY FADING AWAY

SAVE MYSELF PICK A DAY

JUST UP AND RUN UNDER SUNNY SKIES

FOLLOW THE ROAD

ALL THE WAY TO SOMETHING NEW


YOU HOPE NONE OF THE SADNESS FOLLOWED YOU

THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR SMILES

LIGHT AND FREE

ON THE WAY TO TOMORROW

START SOMETHING NEW

WISHES DIDN'T CARE

SO I'LL MAKE SOME THAT DO
