Full Circle

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
|
|||
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

Back To You

Hey, I'm sorry, I left you so long ago
Hey, I'm sorry, I let you slip away
Hey, I'm sorry, I messed up let it go
Hey, I'm sorry, let's redo so now I'm
Making my way back to you
Making my way back to you
Hey, I'm sorry, this was a mistake
Hey, I'm sorry, I really need to go
Hey, I'm sorry, for real though get some help
Hey, I'm sorry, I can't be the one for you
Making my way back to you
Making my way back to you
Sounds crazy but it's true
Making my way back you
No real reason for me to stay
You know I'll be back anyway
Making my way back to you
Making my way back to you
Sounds crazy because it's true
Making my way back you
Making my way back to you
Making my way back to you
Sounds crazy because it's true
Making my way back you
Why am I singing this song
Why is forever so damn long
Wake me up when it's near the end
Flip it over, start again
Making my way back to you
Making my way back to you
Sounds crazy but it's true
Making my way back you
Making my way back to you
Making my way back to you

Party On Wall St.
03:39
|
|||
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
|
|||
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

Breathe In Breathe Out
03:26
|

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

Don't Adult Good
03:06
|

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

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

Smile From Above
03:11
|

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
|

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
