RIGHT HERE INSIDE

 

RIGHT HERE INSIDE 

 

WRITTEN BY 

JEFF R HILTON 

2022

 

SEE THE TRACES OF THE PAST

 WE HOLD ON

 TRY TO MAKE IT LAST 

THE EVOLUTION

ISN'T ALWAYS KIND

THE PERFECT BALANCE

IS ALWAYS HARD TO FIND

 YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

THE CARD YOU'LL DRAW

THE THINGS YOU SEE

ALL YOU SAW

 

THE DARK THE LIGHT

ALL HELPED YOU

 TO DECIDE

IF YOU WANTED

LIFE TO EMBRACE YOU

OR JUST LET IT SLIDE

IT'S ALMOST NEVER

CUT AND DRIED

IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE INSIDE

 THE SECRETS OF THE AGES

NOW ALL EXPOSED

MOST OF WHAT THEY SAID

YOU'LL FIND STILL GOES

 

GIVES YOU A ROAD

TO GO

AND BEFORE YOU KNOW

YOU'RE STANDING AT THE END

WONDERING WHAT TO DO

A SKY SO LIT WITH STARS

RIGHT ABOVE YOU

YOU AND I KNOW

THERE'S ALWAYS JUST

A LITTLE FARTHER TO GO

A LITTLE TIME

AND YOU SHOULD KNOW

 

JUST DON'T TAKE TOO LONG

GIVE LIFE A CHANCE

FOR A NEW SAD SONG

THE SMILE ON YOUR FACE TODAY

NO ONE CAN ERASE

THERE'S ALWAYS MORE

 THAN MEETS THE EYE 

I DON'T KNOW HOW

I DON'T KNOW WHY


BURIED DEEP IN SILENCE

ALL THE SORROWS AND JOYS

FAR BEYOND THE CITY

AND ALL THE NOISE

IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE INSIDE

THE SECRET OF THE AGES

NOW ALL EXPOSED

MOST OF WHAT THEY SAID

YOU'LL FIND STILL GOES

LOST IN A PICTURE

 

LOST IN A PICTURE

 

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2022

 

YOU SHOW UP

 

IN EVERY DREAM

 

OCCUPY

 

EVERY CORNER

 

IN MY MIND

 

I AWAKEN

 

TO ALL THE LOVE

 

YOU LEFT BEHIND

 

 

DO YOU FEEL IT

 

IN YOUR HEART

 

THE LOVE

 

THE ADORATION

 

FROM MILES AWAY

 

HOW LONG

 

TO CLOSE THE SPACE

 

YOU AND I TOGETHER

 

FACE TO FACE

 

THE NIGHTS SPENT GAZING

 

AT COLOURED SKIES

 

WONDER ON WONDER

 

LOST IN A PICTURE

 

WOULD TIME BE SO KIND

 

SEE YOU DANCING THERE

 

IN THE SUNSHINE

 

ALL MY ATTENTION TAKEN

 

HOPE THAT

 

I'M NOT MISTAKEN

 

CAUSE I'M WAY IN

 

 

YOU AND I

 

HAVE NEVER

 

 BEEN THIS CLOSE 


TO BEAUTIFUL


YOU AND I SHOULD SEE


ALL THE THINGS


WE COULD BE


SEE YOU MOVE IN WAYS


VARIED AS


THE OCEAN WAVES


BELONG TO THE TIDE


ALL THE WAY INSIDE



SEE THE SKY


THE EVENING GLOW


CAUGHT THERE IN YOUR EYES


I THINK I FINALLY KNOW


THE REASON


WHY YOU AND I


WERE BORN


THE WAY

 

 WE BOTH WERE THROWN


ON THIS PATH TO LOVE


GUIDED BY THE STARS


AND DREAMS


THAT LIVE THERE


SET US ON A COURSE


SO WE COLLIDE


DREAMS THAT


NEVER DECEIVED


OR LIED


I REACHED OUT


OFFERED ALL

 

 MY HEART TO YOU


WHOLE OR PART


WE FOUND A WAY


THAT WE COULD START


LOST IN A PICTURE


WOULD TIME BE


SO KIND


SEE YOU DANCING THERE


IN THE SUNSHINE

PUT DOWN THE STONES

 

PUT DOWN THE STONES

 

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2022

 

EVERYWHERE A CORNER TO TURN

 

A FUSE A LIGHT TO BURN

 

FIND IT HERE

 

FIND IT THERE

 

THE PIECES OF JOY THAT

 

WE CAN SHARE

 

AND IF THEY ARE

 

FAR AND FEW

 

WE'LL SAVOUR THE ONES

 

 THAT DO 

 

SHINE ON US

 

LIKE MORNING SUN

 

 

NEVER LOOK DOWN

 

IN DISDAIN FROM HIGH

 

UNDER THE MOON

 

THE BANNERS FLY

 

HAVE YOU ALREADY

 

PICKED A SIDE

 

DID YOU CHOOSE FOR

 

ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

 

DID YOU CONSIDER

 

THEY MIGHT HAVE LIED

 

 

BETTER ERR

 

ON THE SIDE OF GOOD

 

NOTHING SEEMS THE SAME

 

ANYMORE

 

NOTHINGS AS IT SHOULD BE

 

STRAYED TOO FARAWAY

 

TO SEE WHAT YOU LEFT

 

A LEGACY EMPTY AND BEREFT

 

OF ANY HEART

 

IT'S SO OBVIOUS 

 

WHERE WE NEED TO START

 

PUT DOWN THE STONES

 

THEY'VE ALL BEEN THROWN

 

I THREW

 

A FEW OF MY OWN

 

 

DON'T PRESS ON MY FREEDOM

 

I WON'T BE CONTROLLED

 

TAKE YOUR TROUBLED IDEOLOGY 

 

IT'S NOT FOR ME

 

YOU AND I

 

ARE NOT THE SAME

 

YOU ARE THE INCENDIARY 

 

AND I'M THE FLAME 

 

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER

 

OR TEAR IT ALL APART 

 

LEARNING IS AN ART

 

EVERYWHERE A CORNER

 

TO TURN

 

A FUSE A LIGHT

 

TO BURN

VERITY

 

VERITY

 

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2022

 

I CAN TELL YOU THINGS

 

YOU NEVER KNEW YOU WANTED

 

TO HEAR

 

AND ALL THE THINGS

 

YOU DID

 

JUST LEND ME YOUR EAR

 

 

THEN IF YOU WANT TO STAY

 

I'LL BE YOUR GOOD THING

 

YOUR SOMETHING

 

YOUR SOOTH

 

YOU CAN BE MY VERITY

 

LOOK RIGHT THROUGH MY FAITH

 

GET INSIDE MY HEART 

 

TURN INTO A THING

 

THAT NEVER COMES APART

 

HONESTY MEETS HONESTY

 

FROM THE START

 

 

WE'LL NEVER THROW AWAY

 

 A CHANCE 

 

FOR OUR LOVE TO GROW

 

IF YOU CAN THINK

 

 OF ANYTHING I MISSED

 

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

 

BECAUSE I CAN'T SEEM TO STOP

 

FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU

 

IF YOU TURNED AROUND NOW

 

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO

 

TOOK ME SO LONG TO FIND YOU

 

 

WAY DEEP DOWN

 

YOU'VE BEEN EVERYTHING TO ME

 

THE MOON THE STARS

 

THE SUN

 

THE GOOD IN MY LIFE

 

IF I SEEM UNSURE

 

I JUST NEED YOU TO KNOW

 

IT'S JUST THAT REAL

 

I'M REMINDED

 

 HOW BEAUTIFUL LIFE CAN BE

 

I'D SURE LIKE TO BE

 

YOUR SOMETHING

 

YOUR SOOTH

 

YOU CAN BE MY VERITY

 

MY ONE AND ONLY PROOF

 

 HOW DEEP LOVE CAN BE

 

HOW TIME CAN TURN

 

INTO AN ETERNITY

 

IT'S NOT JUST LOVE

 

IT'S THE DREAMS

 

SO OFTEN DENIED

 

I COULD DRY THE TEARS

 

YOU CRIED

 

I CAN TELL YOU THINGS

 

YOU NEVER KNEW YOU WANTED

 

TO HEAR

 

AND ALL THE THINGS YOU DID

FALLING STAR

 

FALLING STAR

 

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2022

 

OUT TO THE COUNTRY

 

PARKED ON A HILL TO WATCH THE STARS

 

LEFT THE MOON

 

 TO GO ON ITS WAY

 

I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT

 

BUT I THINK 

 

SO MUCH HAS GOT AWAY

 

DON'T KNOW IF I'LL SEE IT TOMORROW

 

OR EVEN AGAIN

 

 

WHY AM I WAITING

 

THERE'S NO WAY

 

NO ONES EVER GONNA SAY

 

TURN AROUND BOY

 

THE WAY YOUR GOING

 

WILL LEAD TO RUIN

 

FEELING LIKE A FALLING STAR

 

NOT SURE WHERE ITS GOING

 

OR HOW FAR

 

MAYBE I'VE GOT IT ALL

 

I'LL SEE BEFORE I GO

 

ANOTHER MILE

 

MUCH REMAINS TO SEE

 

 

OVERHEAD THE SKY

 

EMBRACES ALL THE STARS

 

THE MOONS ON THE RUN

 

TO MEET THE DAWN

 

IT WON'T BE LONG

 

TIL THE SUN COMES CALLING

 

ANOTHER NEW DAY TO LOSE MYSELF IN

 

UNTIL I'M FOUND

 

UNTIL THIS IS DONE ALL GOES DOWN

 

 

I'M GONNA STAY HERE

 

TO WATCH THE SKY

 

FEELING LIKE A FALLING STAR

 

NOT SURE WHERE I'M GOING

 

OR HOW FAR

 

OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY

 

 JUST ME AGAINST THE WORLD 

 

MAYBE ALL MY REASONS

 

 DON'T STAND A CHANCE

 

MY BELIEFS ARE ALL IN LINE

 

MAYBE I JUST NEED

 

A LITTLE TIME

IS THERE SOMETHING HERE

 

IS THERE SOMETHING HERE

 

WRITTEN BY

JEFF R HILTON

2022

 

IS THERE SOMETHING HERE

 

WORTH WAITING FOR

 

A STORY IN THE MAKING

 

HIDING BENEATH THE STARS

 

THIS SILENCE BINDS ME

 

TO THIS PLACE

 

LEAVES ME EVER WATCHFUL

 

JUST IN CASE

 

THE MOON SEEMS SO LOVELY

 

TOUCHING THE SEA

 

SUMMERS BARELY STARTED

 

AND I ALREADY FEEL THE DRAW

 

LIKE WHAT I'M SEEING

 

LIKE WHAT I SAW

 

 

I WONDER I WAIT

 

TO SEE IF YOU MIGHT SHOW

 

SEE ALL THE LIGHT 

 

MOVE INTO GOOD 

 

SEE IT TURN TO LOVE

 

BECAUSE IT COULD

 

SEE IT ALL SO CLEAR

 

RIGHT FROM HERE

 

 

YOU CAME INTO VIEW

 

I WAITED TO SEE

 

IF IT WAS YOU

 

THAT LEFT ME 

 

COMPELLED TO STAY

 

YOU CAME HERE

 

I WONDERED IF I WAS

 

THE REASON

 

WAS THIS SOMEWHERE

 

 YOU KNEW

 

YOU HAD TO BE

 

SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T

 

WANT TO MISS

 

LIKE A KISS FROM THE RAIN

 

A SUDDEN URGE A PAIN

 

A LONGING TO BELONG

 

 

WILL YOU RIDE OUT

 

 ON THE WIND 

 

OR TURN TO FACE ME NOW

 

TELL ME SHOULD I STAY

 

AND MAKE YOU A THING

 

THAT I CAN'T PUT DOWN

 

AS MY LOVE BEGINS

 

TO SURROUND

 

YOUR HEART

 

NEVER LET YOU GO

 

IS THERE SOMETHING HERE

 

SEE THE SUN 

 

AND WATCH IT DISAPPEAR 

 

IS THERE SOMETHING HERE

 

WORTH WAITING FOR 

REAL
