Fly Intro 02:02
When I look around me I don't see all that's there So I close my eyes and wonder If I can feel your stare If you can see what I see Won't you raise my consciousness If I can be what you are Take away, remove this blindness Should I say Hallelujah to the wonder of the skies? Should I say Hallelujah Or should I try to fly Fly

Winters can be hard here Summers are so short I'm a stranger in a strange land With nowhere to call home My world's just a dark room With no key for the door The walls around me are closing in Someone takes the floor, someone takes the floor And says there's no time for sorrow The universe is so vast So pull yourself together now You're dying to be living in the past Walking on a tightrope And I'm closer to the edge On the brink of a precipice I look down and see my fate So back to the retail world And the wonderland of hard sell There's no point in this point of sale You're doing oh so well, you're doing oh so well There's no time for sorrow The universe is so vast So pull yourself together now You're dying to be living in the past

Trapeze 04:22
Times when you remember all Quick to rise and fast to fall Times when time stood still and hands held fast Life clings to life and then Slow to rise and fall again Times when you have given all you had A man holds out his hand to help Just so many times But when the net is gone the man will fall Crash and learn in December rain Twist and turn, remembering When you've given all you have to give And still you'll fly again A man holds out his hand to help Just so many times But when the net is gone the man will fall Fingers slip away And then I'll see you fall And hit the ground

I have seen her light She dressed me like a king In rooms bathed in gold Stories lie unsold My eyes dreamed of rich But my tears were so poor Her heart dripped like wax through my soul's open cracks I look as I see She'll one day be like me Then I saw her shade In my eyes she saw a fade Like warmth in the night She fades like candlelight My heart once was clay Moulded into love We're both scattered pieces Falling from above I look as I see She'll one day be like me The sun won't shine the clouds are mine The rain is pain and I'm dreaming Her life is sure, the sky is sore The sea is deep and I'm screaming Let the darkness fall Bring it to it's knees Let the darkness fall
6.
When she smiles she's centre stage When she frowns she acts her age When she cries she makes me die inside When she talks it's poetry When she moves she's majesty When she sleeps the world's a lonely place I can't face You say I'm obsessed Obsessed with the notion That I'm in real deep As deep as the ocean I swim to the reef, where I can cross over The water's warm Ah, floating All day When she looks that way at me Walls fall down, captives free Oh I can make it happen if I try Oh how I tried When life is confused she'll come to the rescue She'll pack out the news Says it doesn't affect you She still got the time to capture the moment Constant Christmas

I Feel It 03:17
You're so cool my beautiful fool Got a punch like a boxer and a kick like a mule One word from you and I'm a quivering wreck I'm in this up to my neck Dodging bullets on the front line Making daisy chains from lemon and lime Heading downtown for the start of the show Wonder which way the wind blows Oh yeah, I feel it, I feel it Taking time at the end of the line For the trash train coming and I'm making it mine 2 words from you and I'm ready to fall I'm into this for the long haul Summer sunshine open space Freezing water splashing in faces Stepping onstage in front of the roar Wonder which road to follow Oh yeah, I feel it, I feel it Oh yeah, I'm feeling everything and more
8.
Another Day 03:42
If you feel like there's no tomorrow If you feel you can't carrry on You've got to find a way Look for another day To be strong I will miss you This much is true Another day Say goodbye to the past now it's done Look to the future with everyone You've got to find a way Come back another day You've got to hold on I will miss you This much is true Another day If you feel like there's no tomorrow If you feel you can't carrry on You've got to find a way Look for another day To be strong I will miss you This much is true Another day

Fly 05:27
In those days when you were reaching for me You know when I was looking the other way Was it angels with dirty faces Or was it my demons that dragged me away? Should I say hallelujah To the miracle that I see? Should I say Hallelujah Or should I slip away? Fly Should I say hallelujah To the miracle of the sky? Should I say Hallelujah Or should I try to fly? Fly... What of your dreams of flying? What if they're not dreams at all? And what of your dreams of dying? If dying is just a fall Hallelujah.
10.
Millions 05:19
A million miles from the start A million miles from where I need to be A million miles form the sun I can see the end but I've only just begun A million miles from the stars A million miles from who I want to be A million miles from the start Well I can feel them all but I've always been apart And I can feel the past like it was here And all will fade like the water from from these tears And we are spirits in our own lives We're just drifting through Gone before we arrive A million miles yet to go A million miles still in my soul

Fly By 03:03
12.
So this is real, this is not a dream The words are nothing new Ripped torn and balck and blue And you can see the children crying You'll see it every day You'll want to turn away Scarred in their minds Burned in their souls Out of ideas And out of control And if we fail to heed the call The rising tide will breach the walls It's not too late to change the course In this sea Of insanity Old sins cast the longest shadow And this is nothing new It's time to pay our dues You stand and watch it burn And turn to barren land Scarred in their minds Burned in their souls Out of ideas And out of control And if we fail to heed the call The rising tide will breach the walls It's not too late to change the course In this sea Of insanity
