IS ALL HELP GONE

IS ALL HELP GONE

I WISH THE WINDS OF CHANGE

 WOULD BLOW

SWEETLY SOFTLY 

WAY DOWN LOW

SOMETHING GOOD

I DIDN'T KNOW

WOULDN'T BE

 OUT OF PLACE

 

TAKE ME FROM THIS DARKNESS

I COULD USE A LITTLE LIGHT

I MIGHT BE DOWN

BUT I'M NOT OUT

I'M STILL IN THE FIGHT

WILL THE WINDS TO CHANGE

I FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE

A LITTLE STUCK

BUT I CAN SEE

ITS NOT OVER

I SHOULD GO

 

I SHOULD KNOW WHERE

BUT I'M NOT SURE NOW

IS THERE A SIGN

I SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR

IS IT TOO LATE

IS ALL HELP GONE

HOW TO MOVE ON

TAKE MY DAYS

FILL EM UP

WITH WHAT I NEED

BEFORE I RUN OUT OF OPTIONS

BEFORE I GIVE UP TRYING

 

WILL THE WINDS TO CHANGE

I FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE

THAT I'D EVEN HAVE TO ASK

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK

I'LL LAST

DO YOU THINK THESE WISHES

DON'T HAVE A HEART

ARE THEY COMING TOO FAST

IF I COULD SEE THROUGH

THIS SMOKE AND INSECURITY

I COULD FINALLY BE FREE

TO MOVE ON

IS ALL HELP GONE

ONE MORE SUNDOWN

IN THE MONASHEE'S

THE LIGHT IS FADING FAST

 THE MOUNTAINS ARE TURNING BLACK

THE SPELLS ALREADY CAST

SILHOUETTES OF THE TREES 

ON THE RIDGE LINE 

JUST BELOW THE MOON

YOU COULDN'T GET HERE FASTER

TODAY WOULDN'T BE TOO SOON

WILDFLOWERS IN THE MEADOW

WILD MOUNTAIN HONEY

IN A JAR

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK

YOU CAN SEE HOW FAR

WE'VE COME

IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING

I'D HAVE YOU HERE

BY MY SIDE

 

ALL OF THE JOY I HAVE FOUND

PALES WITHOUT YOU AROUND

YOU'RE NOT EVEN HERE YET

AND I WISH YOU COULD STAY

WHAT KIND OF WORLD IS THIS

THAT WOULD HAVE US DIVIDE

BETTER TOGETHER

FLOAT LIKE A FEATHER

RIDE THE AIR

ON A SKY FULL OF STARS

 

I SWEAR

I JUST WANT TO WAKE UP 

AND FIND YOU THERE

SWEET WATER AND SUN

AS FAR AS WE CAN SEE

IF FOR ALWAYS

YOU AND I

IT WILL ALWAYS BE

A DREAM THAT CAME TRUE

WHEN THE NIGHT

IS GETTING LATE

COME ALL THESE THOUGHTS

THAT JUST CAN'T WAIT

DAYS FILLED WITH SO MUCH

YET EMPTY WITHOUT YOU

MY LOVE FOR YOU

CAN'T BE PUSHED ASIDE

AS ALL

 OF THESE THOUGHTS COLLIDE

 

I'M LOOKING OUT ON THE WATER

IN THE MISTY RAIN

ITS HARD TO BELIEVE

THIS MUCH HAS CHANGED

ALL OF IT NEW

SO STRANGE

SOMETHING DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT

IN THE FADING LIGHT

I SEE YOU'RE GONE

SADNESS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

CAN'T BE FAR BEHIND

 

WHAT WITH YOU SO FARAWAY 

THE DAYS ARE PILING UP

AGAINST THE NIGHT

IF YOU COULD ONLY BE HERE

WOULDN'T IT ALL BE

SO COMPLETE

WALKING DOWN THE STREET

SOMEONE YOU'D WANT TO MEET

 

I'LL SEE YOU WHEN IN SEE YOU

JUST A LITTLE SAD TO SAY

MORE SO TO DO

ANY PEACE I FIND

IS BROKEN BY

WAVES OF DESPAIR

AND THE CURE IS ONLY TIME

AS IF TIME

 HOLDS NO WEIGHT 

HANGING BY ONE HOPE

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

TIME MOVED SLOWLY

TESTING MY PATIENCE

COAXING MY WILL

ALWAYS WAITING

RIGHT UP UNTIL

AN ETERNITY PASSES BY

 

WATCH IT SLIP AWAY

LIKE SO MANY DREAMS

THAT BURN OUT LIKE A STAR

HANGING BY ONE HOPE

ONE DREAM

SOMEDAY THE LIFE

I KEEP SEEING

WOULD LEAD ME TO YOU

ONCE UPON A TIME

CAME TRUE

CAME TO LIFE WITH YOU

 

I KNOW

YOU'D NEVER LET ME DOWN

THE WAY YOUR LOVE

SEEPS INTO MY VERY SOUL

WITHOUT YOU

I FEEL A PART OF ME IS GONE

MY HEART IS INCOMPLETE

INSIDE SOMEWHERE

YOU THOUGHT YOU

 MAY NEVER REACH 

 

THIS IS WHAT ITS

ALL ABOUT

WAITED A LIFETIME

TO FEEL, TO SEE

FOR YOU

TO COME TO ME

AND NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE

CAN WE JUST

CATCH OUR BREATH A MINUTE

BEFORE WE GO ON

IN THIS WORLD

OF JOY AND SORROW

LET US STAY THE COURSE

NAVIGATE THROUGH THE ROUTES

OF CIRCUMSTANCE 

HANGING BY ONE HOPE

ONE DREAM

 

WOKEN BY THE STARS

THE BLUES SKIES

MAKE PROMISES THEY CAN'T KEEP

I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE

JUST OUT OF REACH

THERE'S A WAY THAT YOU CAN HELP

KEEP ME INSIDE YOUR HEART

WHILE I'M WAY DOWN HERE

LONELY IN THESE TREES

MOUNTAINS LOOKING UP

AT EVERY TURN

GUESS I''LL NEVER LEARN

 

THE HARDEST ROADS I CHOOSE

I BUILT A BRIDGE

I BURNT ONE DOWN

MYSTICAL EXISTENCE

FEELING SMALL

PLAYING MY PART IN IT ALL

DREAMING ON BLUE WATER

WOKEN BY THE STARS

YOU ARE THE REASON

I KEEP MOVING ON

I WILL UNTIL I

STAND BEFORE YOU AGAIN

ITS ALWAYS THE SAME

SO IT NEVER ENDS

IT JUST BEGINS AGAIN

SOME OTHER PLACE

SOME OTHER WAY

 

I'LL TELL YOU THIS

IF I HAD MY WAY

WE WOULD ALWAYS BE

SIDE BY SIDE

NOW HOW CAN I FALL ASLEEP

IN SO DEEP

ENTRUST YOU MY SOUL TO KEEP

KEEP THE FAITH

 I'VE ALWAYS HAD IN YOU 

THE REST

AT THE BEST IS UP TO FATE

 

THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO BUT UP

I SAT ON A MOUNTAIN TOP

WATCHING THE WORLD BELOW

RE CHARGING MY SOUL

IT DIDN'T LAST

I FOUND WITHOUT YOU

EXACTLY WHAT I LOST

 

DREAMING ON BLUE WATER

WOKEN BY THE STARS... 

SILENCE

 

SILENCE

WRITTEN BY

THE GIFT OF SILENCE

NEVER STOPS GIVING

I FIND IT EVERYWHERE I LOOK

RIGHT THERE AN OPEN BOOK

COME AND TAKE A LOOK

THE LAKES ARE BLUE

FEEDING RIVERS OF GREEN

SKIES OF PATCHY SUN 

ALL THAT WATER ON THE RUN

 

A SILENCE RANG OUT

INSIDE THE RAIN

ALL MY THOUGHTS WERE STIRRED

POURED OUT INTO A DRAIN

NO ONE WAS THERE TO HEAR

TO BE A FRIEND

IT HITS HOME

I KNOW ITS TRUE

I'M TRULY ON MY OWN 

 

ALL THIS SILENCE THIS SOLITUDE

STICKS TO ME LIKE GLUE

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE YOU

STILL EXIST

KEEP ME WHOLE I INSIST

HIGH AND DRY

FROM WATER ON THE RUN

I'M SURE IT WON'T BE LONG

BEFORE THE SKIES ARE CLEAR

CASTING US INTO

RELENTLESS SUN

 

GROUND ME WHERE I STAND

SO I CAN LAND NEXT TO YOU

WHEN THIS ALL ENDS

THE SILENCE IS CRUSHING

BUT ITS LEFT UNSAID

I'D HATE TO TEMPT A FATE

OF LESSER EVILS

THAN THE ONE THAT'S 

STRAIGHT AHEAD

ON THE EDGE OF SUMMER

LOADED BY THE SPRING

SOMEHOW IT DOESN'T MEAN

MUCH OF ANYTHING TO ME

THIS TIME AROUND

THE ONE SOUND

 I WANT TO HEAR IS GONE

 

WITHOUT YOU I FEEL

A LITTLE LOST

THINGS ARE HEATING UP

BUT AT WHAT COST

I FIND MYSELF SOMEWHERE

DEEP IN THOUGHT

I LOOK AT YOUR PICTURE

AND I KNOW I MUST OF

LOST MY HEAD

DID I DO ALL THIS TO US

TO PROVE I COULD

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED

TO GO LIKE THIS

 

I KISSED YOU WHEN WE SAID GOODBYE

THE LONGEST NIGHTS TO COME

WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE

I CAN'T HELP THIS FEELING

I FEEL A LITTLE EMPTY

MY AIM IMPAIRED

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE

I CAN DO

REACH OUT FOR SOMETHING

I CAN'T FIND

AT THE END OF THIS TIME

WHEN I'M BACK WITH YOU

MY HEART WON'T FEEL SO LOST

 

THE BIG PICTURE

IS MOVING ME TOO

CLOSING AROUND ME AND YOU

FARAWAY BUT NO SO FAR

AS IT SEEMS

FOREVER YOU AND I

IN MY DREAMS

I'LL PUSH THROUGH THIS

SOMEHOW SOME WAY

SEE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME

AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH

TO KEEP YOUR HEART

AT THIS TIME

WHEN WE MUST BE APART

WAITING, ONCE AGAIN

WATCHING FATE UNFOLD

I DON'T KNOW BEYOND TODAY

ANYMORE THAN I'VE BEEN TOLD 

SOMETHING NEW STARTS AGAIN

TAKES ME ALONG

MY DREAMS WILL

CONTINUE ON

 

TIME TO STEP OUT FROM BEHIND

MY RELATIVE OBSCURITY

LET THE SUN SHINE ON ME

MY BEST SMILE SHOULD TAKE ME

AS FAR AS I NEED TO GO

INSIDE THE WIND RUSHING PAST MY EARS

A WHISPERED VOICE TELLING ME SO

THE BEST YEARS ARE STILL AHEAD

 

ITS THEN I SAW THE PHOENIX RISE

ALL AFLAME BUT HE STILL FLIES

KEEP MOVING FORWARD NEVER BACK

KEEP LEARNING THE THINGS

YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHEN STARTING OVER

 BECOMES A WAY OF LIFE

YOU CAN HOLD UP YOUR END

OF THE FIGHT

 

THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

CAUGHT IN YOUR EYES

MUST GIVE YOU AWAY

ALL THOSE STARS IN ONE PLACE

A SIGHT TO SEE

I CAN'T HELP BUT TO THINK

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO ME

 

JUST LET LIFE COME TO ME

AND I'LL TAKE WHAT I NEED

I REMEMBER EVERYTHING

CHASING RAINBOWS AFTER RAIN

WISHING FOR END OF DAY

JUST TO BURY MY HEAD INTO NIGHT

YOU CAN'T LOSE

 WHAT YOU NEVER HAD

STAND IN YOUR TRUTH BEFORE

YOU FALL AWAY

 

 

 

 

TRY AGAIN

 

TRY AGAIN

ANOTHER BRIDGE I MUST CROSS

I NEVER KNOW IF ITS ONE I SHOULD BURN

I'M TIRED BUT ITS STILL MY TURN

WHATEVER TRICKS ARE LEFT

THE ONE I CHOOSE HAS TO FLY

HOW CAN I

GET OVER THE TOP

BRING THIS INSECURITY TO A STOP

 

TIME IS BREAKING NOW

ITS WEARING ME DOWN

TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE I BELONG

IF I SHOULD COME TO FAIL

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO

JUST SAIL AWAY

ON THE ILL WINDS OF FATE

I DON'T KNOW

IF I CAN REACH THERE IN TIME

REACH THERE AT ALL

 

GO ON TRY AGAIN ONCE MORE

I GUESS I'LL PICK MYSELF UP OFF THE FLOOR

THIS BADGE OF HONOUR 

DOESN'T HOLD THE SAME SWAY

TOO OLD TO PRETEND

ITS GETTING TO HARD TO BEND

AND I'M SO TIRED

 

NOTHING LEFT TO PROVE

KEEP ON MOVING DON'T LAY DOWN

DO IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CAN

YOU'RE AN OLD HAND AT THIS

YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT AS YOU GO

 

FOLLOW THE STARS YOU'LL KNOW

WHEN YOU WALK INTO THE DREAM

YOU'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT

WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

YOU'LL LOOK AROUND AND SEE

EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED

TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS

WITH YOUR FEET BACK ON THE GROUND

PLUGGED RIGHT BACK INTO THE FEED

TRY AGAIN GIVEN THE CHANCE

I'LL TAKE THE LEAD
