The Other Side of the World

Sometimes the light shines on nothing 
Sometimes the light shines on green 
Carrying now feels like something… 
weighs a million tons but can’t be seen 

I had a life 
on the other side of the world 
Then came the night 
shadows falling from my sight 

Sometimes you’re wearing your image 
Sometimes you’re baring your soul 
Carrying always this message: 
Make sure the light is your own 

I had a life 
on the other side of the world 
Then came the night 
shadows falling from my sight 
I didn’t have to be who I am 
I didn’t have to be who they are 
I didn’t have to be anyone 

Well this path was built between us 
but the wheel can be caught 
and we’ll ride that thing forward 
till our passages cross

In Each Other’s Arms

We just met the other day 
and I didn’t know your name, so I asked ya 
and that’s when you looked at me 

And that smile lit up your face 
like a warm embrace 
and I felt you moving toward me… 
toward me… 

Let’s stay in each other’s arms 
Let’s stay in each other’s arms 
Let’s stay in each other’s arms 
till the World tears us apart 

You light up the room 
with that smile you got, so groovy 
make me wanna move toward ya… 
toward ya… 

Move 
move so slow 
make sure you feel 
each and every moment 
every moment as they go 
‘cause you never know 
you never know… 

Let’s stay in each other’s arms 
Let’s stay in each other’s arms 
Let’s stay in each other’s arms 
till the World tears us apart

Love Song

This is my forbidden love song 
Just carve me with an “A” 
No words will erase your name 
and no lack of pictures 
will keep your image at bay 

Transmit and be gone 
So many times I wished you away 
Like an ache that just has it’s way 
Like a boat that continues to sway 

Don’t you leave me here, no rx lover, pharm no 
Don’t you leave me here 
to make up my mind 
We both know this ain’t over 
and we both know you got better things 
to do with your time than wait for me 
No, don’t wait for me 
but I wan’t you to wait for me 
wait for me 
Wait, wait, wait…

Fly

How can I help it? 
It’s gonna bleed 
How can I help what’s inside of me? 
If you wanna change it 
then you’d better leave 
How can I help what’s inside of me? 

Fly fly fly, you don’t need no reason why 
Just fly 

How can you change it? 
It’s gonna lead 
How can you change what’s Eternity? 
If you can’t face it 
then try a new key 
There’s no denying Eternity 

Fly fly fly, you don’t need no reason why 
Just fly 

Facing your Demons 
you’d better win 
They’re stealing your future, 
holding you in 
They’re keeping you captive 
You’re trapped in your skin 
You’d better face those demons within

An Emptiness to Fill

My boots are shined and ready for the road 
they’ll be dull and faded ‘fore the night is old 
nothing in this World can stay brand new 
like another night coming home to you 

You know I’m walking through this Life 
fighting to keep the fire burning deep inside 
learning to live alone yet live with lovers still 
there will always be an emptiness to fill 

I’m gearing up, I’m ready for the fall 
I got the feeling this’ll be the worst of all 
a chance to lose myself, a chance to grow 
but who we coulda been, well, I will never know 

You know I’m walking through this Life 
fighting to keep the fire burning deep inside 
learning to live alone yet live with lovers still 
there will always be an emptiness to fill 

My boots are shined and ready for the road 
they’ll be dull and faded ‘fore the night is old 
Perfect is a Love with cracks and glue 
Pretty soon I will be dull and faded too 

You know I’m walking through this Life 
fighting to keep the fire burning deep inside 
learning to live alone yet live with lovers still 
there will always be an emptiness to fill
