Full Circle 05:17
lyrics

All that is, is sure to end As certain now as it's ever been Will we learn to cope with it When those we love disappear When what we fear is drawing near Resilience is what's needed most Strength to not give up the ghost Not giving up, no I'm not giving up, no Not giving up, no I'm not giving up, no Not giving up, no I'm not giving up, no Not giving up, no I'm not giving up, no So here we are back again Sinking feeling deep within It's testing out my resolve Around and round we revolve Not giving up, no I'm not giving up, noNot giving up, no I'm not giving up, no I'm full circle Full circle I'm full circle Full circle

Watch The World Spin 02:55

I feel so alive, I feel so free It's not complicated, just like me I'm learnin' to live simply Just like Paul said, let it be I'm on a cloud, I think it's nine Don't really care as long as it's mine If you want to save mankind Shut your mouth and open your mind I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round And I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round The sun is shinin' can't you see Everything is just peachy Got away from misery Just wasn't my cup of tea If your world is not so fine Look no further, here's your sign Break away from daily grind In nature the truth you'll find I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round And I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round Can you please stay off my cloud No offense but two's a crowd I've heard enough of all your noise I'll rebuild what you've destroyed I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round And I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round I don't want to come down I'll watch the world spin 'round

Through The Lens 03:59
lyrics

The bluest skies and the seas are mild Let's sit and talk awhile A sandy seat in the summer heat Makes this day complete We'll grow old watching life unfold With so much life in our years Imagine what the world would see Through the lens of you and me Imagine what the world would be If they loved like you and me Just imagine, just imagine The setting sun is a perfect view I get to share with you A thousands words are not enough To express my love The sands of time may pass us by But heaven is right here Imagine what the world would see Through the lens of you and me Imagine what the world would be If they loved like you and me Just imagine, just imagine Imagine what the world would see Through the lens of you and me Imagine what the world would be If they loved like you and me Just imagine, just imagine

Party On Wall St. 03:39
lyrics

Out in Central Park A man came up to me He said "can you spare some change" "To buy something to eat" I said take a walk with me There's something you should see Party on Wall Street They're giving it all out free If life's got you down Just gather around Out to see Liberty A kid came up to me He said "my mom had surgery" "We declared bankruptcy" I said here's some cash from me A loan that's interest free Party on Wall Street Such a sight to see If life's got you down Just gather around If life's got you down Just gather around If life's got you down Just gather around If life's got you down Just gather around

Missing Pieces 04:53
lyrics

A faded memory of a foggy Daylight slowly fades from view, shadows grow Longing for comfort I knew, so haunting Like ghosts dancing through my mind, days so Distant only by vast time, not of Space I've spent my life to find, an empty place I climbed the highest mountain And bathed in the sea I woke up in the desert sand There was no one there with me I hiked a hundred miles To the old sequoia tree But still I cannot find The missing pieces of me Cheerful recollections of, a sunny Days now draped only in gray, chase away Thoughts which now center on you, hopelessly Lost amidst the sea of blue, been swept away I climbed the highest mountain And bathed in the sea I woke up in the desert sand There was no one there with me I hiked a hundred miles To the old sequoia tree But still I cannot find The missing pieces of me I climbed the highest mountain And bathed in the sea I woke up in the desert sand There was no one there with me I hiked a hundred miles To the old sequoia tree And when you return please bring The missing pieces of me

The Note 04:21

When you read this Just know I'll be fine And please know that I'm with you all the time I'm the light that Glistens in your eye I'm the star that Shines so bright tonight All is not lost So please don't hide All is not lost Your beauty inside When you read this Just know I love you Don't be harsh now I'm not a perfect guy And just know that There's more than meets the eye Sometimes humor Hides the pain inside All is not lost So please don't hide All is not lost Your beauty inside When there's a smile I'll be near To lighten the mood And to spread some cheer And when you're sad I'll dry your tears Let laughter ease All your fears If you listen closely you can hear My name on the breeze As it blows through your hair When you look at the stars On a cloudless night Just passed the moon I'm third on the right Please hear what I have to say Don't you throw it all away Blue days will come after gray Don't you throw it all away One day soon you'll be okay The end will come But not today

I heard you had a very bad day Nothing's ever goin' your way The sun is shinin' everywhere else But there's a dark cloud hangin' over your house Breathe in, breathe out Just breathe in, breathe out You fell on your face at the big school race The girl you like won't talk to you Well what can I say to make it okay At least they can't take away your birthday Breathe in, breathe out Everyone has those moments of doubt Just breathe in, breathe out Feels so good to let it all out Just let go of the fear and the doubt Most things tend to work themselves out Look in the mirror is it clearer All you need is in front of you Breathe in, breathe out Everyone has those moments of doubt Just breathe in, breathe out Feels so good to let it all out Just breathe in, breathe out Everyone has those moments of doubt Just breathe in, breathe out Maybe you're down, but you're never out Breathe in, breathe out Just breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Everyone has those moments of doubt Just breathe in, breathe out Feels so good to let it all out Just breathe in, breathe out Everyone has those moments of doubt Just breathe in, breathe out Maybe you're down, but you're never out Just breathe

Hey now, slow it down Livin' like that you're gonna burn it out Help me, help you Allow me to share a little wisdom with you Unplug, unwind If you live like me all you'll have is time Uncomplicated, I have no need for a suit and tie Uncomplicated, I don't miss things that money could buy I live as I please I come and go with the greatest of ease Downsize everything The less I have the less I clean Overrated, the hole in the roof let's me see the sky Overrated, the stars don't judge when they see me cry I do what I want, I do what I please I do anything 'cause life's a breeze But I don't adult good I don't adult good I don't adult good I'm aware that I don't adult good Tired of winning What I wouldn't give for a nice warm bed Nature is my friend Gotta be careful where I lay my head Overstated, the benefits of a 401k Overstated, barely getting by living day by day I do what I want, I do what I please I do everything 'cause the day I seize But I don't adult good I don't adult good I don't adult good I'm aware that I don't adult good I don't adult good I don't adult good I don't adult good And I'm aware that I don't adult good I don't adult good I don't adult good Still don't adult good I'm aware that I don't adult good

The Long Haul (Strings Version) 04:52
lyrics

You know sometimes when I look at you I think back to days before I knew The depths of my heart and of my soul Found me broken, made me whole I know somehow what I've got to do Find a way to say thank you See the brilliance of your star I'm so adoring of who you are I'm in the for the long haul The wind and the rain won't stop me at all I'm in for the long haul The smiles the frowns the ups and the downs And I'm in for the long haul Like mountains above you know I'll stand tall You know sometimes when I lay with you I see our future come into view Life unfolding before us now I'll be your harbor, this I vow I know right now we'll make it through We've weathered storms and setbacks too On the horizon so endlessly For you I'll break the waves of sea I'm in the for the long haul The wind and the rain won't stop me at all I'm in for the long haul The smiles the frowns the ups and the downs And I'm in for the long haul Like mountains above you know I'll stand tall I'm in the for the long haul The wind and the rain won't stop me at all I'm in for the long haul The smiles the frowns the ups and the downs And I'm in for the long haul Like mountains above you know I'll stand tall Backing Vocals: I'll be your safe harbor and break all the waves for you I'll be your strong castle and take all the storms for you

Here's to you, my dear old friend We saved your spot right on the end To times we've shared that came and went Grateful for the moments spent Cheers to you my dear old friend Pour a shot into the wind You know we often think of you Keep on smiling like you used to Here's to you my dear old friend Look how many now attend If there's any help to lend Send a smile, there's hearts to mend Cheers to you my dear old friend Pour a shot into the wind You know we often think of you Keep on smiling like you used to Smile from above Cheers to you my dear old friend Pour a shot into the wind You know we often think of you Keep on smiling like you used to

Books Over Bombs 08:48
lyrics

Here I stand, an open grave Bury those who fought so brave Soldiers march with rounds to shoot Pay respect, a last salute Hear their cries at fever pitch And fuel desires their trigger itch On they beat those drums of war Bombs will drop forever more On they beat those drums of war Same old tune we've heard before Tossed about immortal wave Swept up all we failed to save Hollowness now filled by scorn In their sons the hate's reborn No matter all the lives we take The cycle never seems to break On they beat those drums of war Fires will rage forever more On they beat those drums of war Devour all that came before What is the world coming to What am I supposed to do Everyone I thought I knew Is turning into something new Look what's happening to you Fear is taking hold of you Permeating through and through Now there's nothing left of you On they beat those drums of war Bombs will drop forever more On they beat those drums of war Same old tune we've heard before Reject the fear Reject the hate Love one and all Before it's too late Reject the fear Reject the hate Love one and all Before it's too late On they beat those drums of war Fires will rage forever more On they beat those drums of war Devour all that came before Reject the fear Reject the hate Are we so different you and I Love thy neighbor, can we try I hope soon a day will come When this song need not be sung
